//------------------------------// // Rumours // Story: My Little Pony : Friendship isn't magic? // by Midnight Shimmer //------------------------------// "Hmmm..." Luna says, tapping a pen on her midnight blue bed, pretending to think, "What are some ways to make her... unpopular?" she asks her friend, Cadence. "Fluttershy. The hopeless one, we all know Rarity hates her, and bad news, Spike, Vinyl and Big Mac like her... Hm..." "Well, we could" Cadence tosses some of her hair behind her back, "make up some... Rumors," "Good idea, Cadence!" Luna replies, pats Cadence on the head before starting to think again, "What should they be about?" "Well, we both know that Fluttershy has been away for a while, how about we say she was put in prison or something like that?" Cadence says, standing up and fixing her dress before walking to the bathroom. ~~~**~~~ Welcome home from prison! the words written across Fluttershy's locker. Everyone was standing behind her, Lyra, Bon Bon, Derpy, and Luna and Cadence standing in the middle of the hallway, smiles pasted on their faces. Suddenly, the doors burst open, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie come storming in, wondering what all the commotion is about. Applejack, Pinkie and Twilight stop right behind Luna. Rainbow Dash walks in front of Luna and Cadence. "What were you thinking? Have you ever realised that she's been through a lot? That's just low, guys." Rainbow says calmly. "Oh please. She's pathetic and hopeless." Cadence says, tossing her hair behind her back. "Besides, we didn't do it." Luna says, with a smirk spreading across her face. "We all know you did it!" Rainbow shouts, before clawing Luna's face, leaving scratch marks. "Do you really want to do that, Rainbow?" Cadence asks, before walking to Rainbow, so close their noses are touching. Cadence pushes Rainbow to the ground and she lands with a thump. "You wanna piece of me?!" Rainbow screams before running towards Cadence, missing Luna by a few centimeters and picks Cadence up, flips her over her shoulder, and then drops her in the bin "Don't. Mess. With. My. Friends!" Rainbow says before collecting Fluttershy in the crowd of people laughing and walking out. Rainbow walks back inside. "Sorry, I forgot something." she says, ripping out some of Luna's fake hair, making everyone laugh at the fake blue hair that is now laying on the ground. ~~~**~~~ "Great. Now we're the joke!" Cadence screams at Luna. "Calm down, Cade," Luna says "It's okay. We're the most popular people at the school, it's not like they're going to write nasty things on our lockers." "True... true... But this is all your fault!" "My fault? Is it my fault that I now have 5 long scratch marks along my face? Is it my fault we're the laughing matter? Is it my fault that we're so popular?" "Well. It is your fault that you have scratch marks on your face!" Cadence says, her voice getting louder, "It is your fault we're a laughing matter if you didn't have your stupid fake hair in! I don't see WHY you have to wear it, everyone knows it's fake! And it's all your fault because you're the one who wrote on her locker!" Cadence finishes screaming before saying, "I don't even know you anymore. When we were in Primary School, you were all nice, not mean one bit, but now, you're all mean. Don't even care for anyone else. I don't even want to know you anymore, bye, Luna." Cadence leaves the door before walking back in, "Sorry, I forgot something. I just need to grab something..." She says before grabbing all of Luna's designer clothes, "Remember? I bought these. Good day, Luna." she walks out. ~~~**~~~ Knock knock knock "Come in..." Fluttershy says "The door's open. "Hi Fluttershy," Cadence says, walking into her house. "Why are you... here? I thought you didn't like me?" Fluttershy asks, confused. "I've actually always liked you and the others, I've just appeared to hate you because I was jealous, jealous of what a wonderful friendship you have with the others. I know this sounds weird, but I basically un-friended Luna." Cadence says, proud. "You unfriended Luna?! Do you know what she's going to do to you?!" Fluttershy says, her voice a little louder than usual. "I was her friend at my Primary school. You know how she moved schools to your Primary School? Yeah. That's why she moved, because I didn't want to be her friend. She wrote nasty texts to me and everything." Fluttershy says, "Want a cup of coffee?" she asks, taking out 2 mugs. "Sure. And I know she was new to my primary school, I had no choice to be her friend. I was forced into it by the teacher." She says, grabbing the mug Fluttershy offered her. "I see... Well, you want to be my friend, right?" Fluttershy asked, turning on the coffee machine and pressing a few buttons. before grabbing Cadence's cup and putting it next to the silver machine. "Yes. I'd do anything for you! I even stole half of Luna's closet! Only because all of it was actually my clothes..." she says. "Okay..." Fluttershy says, picking up her phone before admiring the 3 pink butterflies on it. "Hey Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, AJ? Cadence wants to be the sixth person in our group. Come to my house now please!" she says into the phone before placing it down on the yellow and brown counter. "How many sugars?" Fluttershy asks. "I think I'll have two," she says, with a friendly smile on her face. ~~~**~~~ "So. You wanna be our friend?" Rainbow asks, crossing her arms. "I'd love to! You know, I unfriended Luna for this. And trust me, that's a risk I'm willing to take, after all, Fluttershy and I both know what happens when that happens." Cadence replies, turning to Fluttershy with a grin on her face. "Fluttershy knows what happens?" Twilight asks. "Oh yes. She was friends with her in Primary School, unfriended her so Luna moved schools." Cadence says, "How come you never told us, Flutter?" Rainbow asks. "I was scared that you wouldn't like me..." the girl with the light pink hair replied. "We would never hate you if you were friends with her, darling!" Suddenly a girl with purple hair walks in the door. ~~~**~~~ "Rarity?!" all six girls said "Cadence?!" Rarity said, "What are you doing here?!" she questioned. "I'm asking the same thing, why are you here?!" Cadence said, surprised. "I was going to.... Um... Comfort Flutter dear!" Rarity lied. "Sure you were, you hate her, remember?" Cadence replied, putting her arm around a very confused Fluttershy. "Pfft. I - D- I..." Rarity ran out of the house. ~~~**~~~ "So you want me to be my friend? Pfft! Like that's going to happen!" Luna said to Rarity. "I'll curl your hair so it looks" she strokes her purple hair "as fab as mine." "Oh ple- how do you do it?" Luna replies, eager to know. Rarity starts doing Luna's hair just like hers, all curly and straw-like. "Ouch!" Luna says as Rarity starts tugging at her hair, making Luna flinch and accidently touching the burning hot curling iron. "Now there's a mark! Rarity! Fix it!!!" Luna complains. "A little cold water and makeup will fix it." Rarity replies. Luna starts running the tap, drowning her hand in the icy cold water. She opens a big white draw containing different types of makeup, eye shadows, mascara, lip gloss, lipstick, foundation, and a lot more. She puts some of her powder foundation on the red mark and the two girls continue giving themselves makeovers. "You know, I have an idea..." Rarity says "Continue..." Luna says, interested. "I could pretend to be Fluttershy's friend and then figure what she likes, doesn't like and all of that!" Rarity says, taking the curling iron out of Luna's hair, making the strand of hair curly and bouncy. "Good idea, Rar" Luna says. "Now let's go back to your boutique and choose some clothes for school tomorrow!" ~~~**~~~ Fluttershy's alarm clock goes off at the exact same time as her phone does. She turns off her yellow alarm clock and then answers her phone. "Hello?" Fluttershy yawns. "Hey Flutter. We're going to Twilight's house then Spike's driving us to school, wanna come?" Rainbow asks. "Um.. Sure... Let me get dressed first! I only just woke up" Fluttershy smiled. "Haha," Rainbow laughed "Okay."
