The War Has Just Begun
~ x o x o ~
"So... do we have cheer practice today, or not?" Pinkie chirped.
However, the question was not answered, because suddenly, someone opened the door, and a voice called, "Where the hell is Rarity?!"
Both Rarity and Pinkie Pie turned around, causing the more hyperactive girl of the two to suddenly gasp loudly, with her jaw hanging dramatically.
"Ohmygosh, it's Sunset Shimmer," she said quickly, in an out-of-breath manner.
"What do you want, Sunset Shimmer?" Rarity muttered, as she narrowed her eyes towards the other girl.
Sunset Shimmer scoffed, and stood her ground defensively as she crossed her arms. "Like you don't know," she retorted. "I heard that you've been going around calling me a liar!"
Rarity held back her smirk. "Might I ask where you heard that?" she said politely.
"I dunno, like two minutes ago," Sunset muttered.
"I said, where not when," Rarity responded, in an annoyed tone.
Rolling her eyes, Sunset Shimmer let out a huff. "Don't give me any sass," she argued. "We both know I'm half deaf in my left ear after that loser Pokey Pierce hit me in the head with that stupid baseball bat back in the third grade."
Then suddenly, another voice rang through the bathroom as someone else entered, screaming the same words Sunset Shimmer had said.
"Where the hell is Rarity?!"
"Ohmygosh, it's Diamond Tiara," Pinkie Pie announced, still slightly shocked.
"Hello~" Diamond Tiara sang, with a bit of a cackle.
With a slow blink, Rarity cleared her throat and gave a false smile.
"Diamond, darling, how have you been? I thought you were still in middle school," she said, her tone turning as sweet as molasses.
"Guess again," the freshman chuckled. "I'm here to stay, and so far, it. Is. Fabulous. I've already been introduced to all of the popular girls, and they totally like me, and I have a boyfriend who's a Senior, and he's smart so he can do all of my homework and-"
"Diamond. Shut up." Sunset Shimmer interrupted. "We have more important matters to discuss."
"Oh. Right." Diamond Tiara replied, only before her sassiness came back full blast. "I heard you were calling Sunset Shimmer a liar. That's totally not true, and it's not cool either. Why would I have her as my best friend if she was a liar?"
Rarity was just about to shoot back a remark, when again - another person entered the bathroom, screaming the same exact five words as before.
"Where the hell is Rarity?!"
It took a minute, but once everyone in the bathroom got done looking around, a short girl with lopsided glasses and preppy clothing was noticed - and her stance was awkward, but still annoyed.
"Who are you?" Rarity asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Who are you?" the other girl shot back.
With a light groan, the fashionista rolled her eyes. "There is no way I'm not going through that again," she mumbled.
"This is Silver Spoon," Diamond Tiara spoke up. "She's my other best friend, and she's the most popular girl at Canterlot Middle School."
"You're hanging out with a middle schooler?" Pinkie Pie questioned.
The younger girl identified as Silver Spoon flipped her grey hair over one shoulder, as let out a scoff. "I'm in eighth grade," she argued. "That's Junior High. Anyway," She narrowed her eyes towards Rarity and lightly tsked. "I heard you were calling Sunset Shimmer a liar."
"But who's watching the door? And how did you get in here if you don't even go to this school? Where did you come from? Are you a spy?" Pinkie continued.
"Shut up, Pinkie Pie," Silver Spoon snapped, only before a devious grin spread across her expression. "Or, should I tell everyone about how you used to make out with Photo Finish under the bleachers after school?"
Suddenly, the hyperactive girl stood still - which was a rare occasion for someone as wild as she normally was. "How do you know about that?" she squeaked out.
"Some girl named Scootaloo," Silver said breezily as she looked at her manicure. "We have karate class and gymnastics together."
"Alright, enough introductions," Sunset Shimmer declared. "Let's just cut to the chase." She looked to Rarity, about to start ranting, only before she let out a light shudder and wrinkled her nose. "Oh, my God, what is that smell?"
"Somebody just used the bathroom," Rarity muttered, with a roll of her eyes.
"It smells nasty," Diamond Tiara whined.
"It's like the scent of an alcoholic homeless man who just got done dumpster-diving," Silver Spoon added, as she too expressed disgust with a sneer.
As the group of girls all groused over the disgusting smell of the bathroom, Sunset Shimmer spoke up once more. "Anyway," she sighed. "I want an apology. I am not a liar."
"Is that a joke?" Rarity argued. "Because I didn't find it very funny. You are indeed a liar, Sunset, and if I had the chance, I would most definitely tell everyone in the city of Canterlot!"
"Well then," Sunset smirked. "I'll gladly tell the entire student body of this school that the white powder found in your friend's bag wasn't sugar, but instead, it was something else."
Pinkie then let out a gasp. "You wouldn't dare! B-b-but it was just stuff from a Pixie Stix! Honest! I need my sugar fix!" she said.
Letting out a dark chuckle, Sunset Shimmer gave a shrug.
"They look alike, y'know," she threatened. "So, Rarity? That apology? I'm waiting..."
"And if you don't apologize to her, I'll gladly tell all of Canterlot Middle School that Sweetie Belle lipsyncs at the talent shows!" Silver Spoon added, as her smirk only grew wider.
With one of her best friend, and her sister, at stake, Rarity let out a groan, and released a deep breath as she looked directly at Sunset Shimmer. "Alright, fine," she said simply. "Sunset Shimmer, I am truly sorry for falsely accusing you."
"You think I'd believe that pathetic piece of crap?!" Sunset snapped. "I demand a hand-written apology from you, signed by all of your fellow Cheer Squad members - so they know what you did - and I want an additional twenty dollars, plus all control of every bathroom in this school."
"Never!" Rarity shot back.
A moment of frustrated silence happened, only before Silver Spoon with a chuckle, and a devious smirk. "You know, Rarity, it sure would be a shame if your sister fell down a flight of stairs," she said simply.
Letting out a light, shocked gasp, the fashionista scowled in defeat. "Fine," she muttered. "But as a fair trade, the Cheer Squad gets the outside lunch table out by the terrace."
"We won't miss it," Sunset said breezily.
"Also, I'll have to warn you," Rarity added. "There's a new girl here who goes by the name of Twilight Sparkle. You might want to keep an eye on her."
With a nod, Sunset Shimmer pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "I'll have these two-" She nodded to the two younger girls by her side. "-keep an eye on her."
"I'd have to say that I thank you for that," the primadonna replied. "Although, remember this, the war between you three and us is only just beginning. Mark my word, this is the start of very something eventful."
Her snarky smile turned into a smirk, and Sunset nodded once again. "Understood," she declared.
Diamond Tiara smirked as well. "Understood," she agreed.
"Understood," Silver Spoon finished, with a low chuckle.
"Wait... what's going on?" Pinkie Pie asked suddenly - now confused as to what was going on.
Just then, the peace was disturbed, as screaming was heard outside the bathroom, and a certain someone ran in, crying wildly and whining like a baby, only before rushing into a stall and slamming the door behind them.
The five girls looked to one another, and all let out a groan in unison.
"Fuckin' Twist!"
