//------------------------------// // A New Hot Shot In Town // Story: Equestrian Drift // by migzie //------------------------------// Sugarcube Corner’s doors were swung open with massive force. In walks a very aristocratic Pegasus chic. The first thing noticeable is that She was wearing a pair of the newest coolest Pegasi branded shoes. They were metallic silver with sets of flapping wings on each shoe. Needless to say, these were featherweights. Not only were her shoes impressive, her outfit was too. It is a light opal colour, skin tight, leather body suit that clung to her athletic build. Her hair is different shades of yellow, a mustard and amber shade, and it was slicked back with a lot of gel. A nifty pair of flight goggles hung around her neck like decor. Spitfire noticed Soarin’s mouth dropped open. She shakes her head “Hey there buddy… keep your eyes on your prize! I’m standing right next to you!” ******* The stranger did a lap around the whole establishment with eyes claiming she wasn’t that impressed. It looked like she was scanning for something that fit her standards. She winked at Lyra and Bon Bon and kept walking. When she got to the center table, she stood directly in front of Fluttershy and Rarity. Extending both her hands out, the chic says “The name’s Lightning Dust.” Being the ladies they were brought up to be, Fluttershy and Rarity placed their hands on Lightning’s. Lightning kissed each hand, taking note that there was a ginormous rock on the left hand of the one with the wings knowing not to even mess with whoever was attached to giving that ring. ******* On the other end of the table, while the girls were pulling their hands away introducing themselves and the others surrounding them, Soarin felt his chest being smacked hearing Spitfire saying “Your new girlfriend is into girls.” He replies, “Oh, how I don’t mind. One. Bit.” Spitfire looks over her shoulder at Rainbow Dash and her facial expression changed. “Uhhh, Dash? Are you okay!?” Blood was boiling inside of her system. Her eyes started to squint at the girl who calls herself Lightning Dust. Dash speaks only loud enough for her side of the table to hear. “She’s so plastic. And, she seems to have her own theme song playing in her ears. Ugh. ONLY her ears.” “There, there now, R.D.” Apple Jack started to pat her friend on the back. “Ah don’t want that no good bamboozling lil doggie touchin mah Rarity just as much as ya don’t want her touchin yer Fluttershy, but we’ve ta keep our cool and pretend ta be okay as our front, ya hear?” “You’re right A.J.” Dash responds back raising an eyebrow as she watches her friend nodding and watching their girlfriends continue their banter with said Lightning Dust in silence. Suddenly, the four of them watch that Lightning Dust being distracted by their Pinkie Pie talking about having a ‘Welcome Party’ as Fluttershy broke a mini sound barrier herself leaping on Rainbow Dash’s lap. Fluttershy shook as she whispered something into her Rainbow’s ear. Rainbow Dash didn’t stop staring at Apple Jack who was staring back at her and Fluttershy. There were mixed emotions flying around everywhere all good and all bad at the same time: Relief. Anger. Jealousy. Protected. Doubtful. Love. Highly Dislike. Etc. Apple Jack couldn't take it any longer. She saw Rainbow Dash’s chest heave and eyes widen and head shaking no. Her body was tensing a second after Dash’s. “What is Fluttershy a sayin? Fluttershy what here is a happenin?” “Curious minds want to know.” Spitfire says as Soarin continues to eat, treating the intruder as yesterday’s news. “Well, Fluttershy says that Lightning Dust was hitting on them hardcore.” Dash starts as Apple Jack tenses up. “But, stopped hitting on my Shy girl because of this ring I put on her.” She received a kiss from Fluttershy. “Rarity said that she was taken too. Lightning Dust points out there’s no ring on her finger and that she’ll swoop Rarity away and give her everything in the world she desires.” “Oh mah Lordy…” Apple Jack says in a tone as light as Fluttershy’s. Fluttershy places her hand on Apple Jack’s. “Rarity loves you so much. Don’t worry about it. She even told Lightning Dust to get lost in the nicest way possible. And then she told Lightning Dust to get lost in the most horrible way she could think of. Lightning Dust doesn’t care though. She says Rarity will be hers sooner or later. Pinkie Pie is being friendly because she came back from the buffet line after this whole conversation. So, she doesn’t know. Oh, someone should tell her!” Fluttershy gasps. “Do ya wanna just keep your cool now, A.J.?!” Dash questions. "Some goon wants your lady love!" “Freshie has a point, dude.” Spitfire adds. “We can slash her tires if you want us to…” “Oh, Apple Jack… don’t fight. It’s not good to fight. Not right now or not right here.” Fluttershy rambles and pleads. “I don’t want to see you hurt, even though I know you’d win and have everyone here to back you up…” “Don’tcha worry there, Fluttershy! Ah’m gonna just keep mah calm like Ah said ta originally. We’ll all talk bout this back at the farm while we clean it up.” “HEY THERE APPLE JACK!!!” Pinkie Pie says all cheery popping her face next to Apple Jack’s that they were cheek to cheek. Apple Jack almost freaked out. “Wha’tcha doin?” She flashes her grinniest of grins. “You’re knuckles are turning really white and your plastic ware is bending out of shape, not to mention your teeth are clenched!!! If it’s because of that new Lightning Dust person, she’s gone now.” “As Ah was sayin ta Fluttershy. Don’tcha worry. Gosh Darn it!” “Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie says and starts to bounce way. She turns and faces all of them. “I don’t think I like that new girl much.” As Pinkie finishes her statement, Twilight walks by. “I don’t think I like her much either.” She turns to Apple Jack. “Rarity is really upset. I say we let Soarin worry about the bill and head back to the farm.” “Great idea, Twi. Ah’ll go git Rarity now. Meet ya at the car. Ah’ll drive regular this time goin home.” “We’ll meet ya back at your place, A.J. Fluttershy and I need to stop at both our houses real fast.” Dash informed her friend and then turned to everyone else. “In fact, if you guys excuse us away right now, we’ll be there at the same time you guys get there.” Spitfire gave her disbelieving chuckle. “You sure about that, Freshie?” “I need some take home containers for my Pies.” Soarin stated still eating. Everyone started laughing at him. ******* “Rare? Ya okay there, mah Sugar Love?” “Yes, my Darling Love. I just feel simply disgusting.” “Such a scoundrel, she better watch out, gosh darn it! Ah reckon what Fluttershy said was true?” “She truly is a ruffian. Oh, Darling Love… Fluttershy is correct. Lightning Dust said I was to be hers!” “No Ma’am. Ah says no one is gonna git mah girl. That’s a final.” “Let’s go home.” “Ya callin mah home, home?” Apple Jack grins that one grin Rarity will never be able to resist. Rarity wraps her arms around Apple Jack’s neck and kisses her right on the lips.
