Rainbow Dash groaned as another boom sounded through the night. She rolled over onto her stomach and covered her head with a pillow, trying to drown out the sound and lights that came every few seconds.
Normally, she rather enjoyed fireworks. They were awesome. But when she lived in a cloud house in the sky and her new neighbors celebrated some stupid holiday in the middle of the night they tended to be much louder and much more dangerous. This last point was proven when a rocket shot right through her floor, leaving a trail of smoke behind it as it exploded just above her ceiling, leaving a large hole in the roof. Rainbow Dash screamed in pain and anger, covering her ears while rubbing her eyes with her wings.
Alright, she has had enough. She dove through the cloud floor, dodging another rocket, turning around to see it take another chunk out of her house.
"ALRIGHT! WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!" She yelled when she landed right next to the Griffons that had moved in below her.
"Heya, Miss. Dash!" One of them said. "Come to celebrate with us?"
"No, I cam to see why the buck you guys are shooting fireworks through my house! Seriously, I could have been killed!"
"Oh, we're sorry, Rainbow. I guess we just got carried away. It is a special day, you know."
"Actually, I don't know. What's so special about today?"
The family of Griffons looked at her like she sprouted a second head.
"It's Amareican Independence day!" One of them cried. "How do you not know of the greatest holiday ever?"
"Look, guys, I get you are proud of your heritage and stuff, but this isn't Amareica, this is Equestria, and we don't celebrate it here, got it?"
"Well maybe you should! Do you Equestrians hate us because we wooped your tails?"
"What? What does that-"
"Maybe you're just racist, are you?"
"Amareican isn't even a race!" Rainbow yelled. "Would you guys listen to me?"
"No, because you're anti-Amareican! How could you not celebrate the founding of the greatest country ever?"
"BECAUSE EQUESTRIANS DON'T CELEBRATE IT! IT ISN'T AN EQUESTRIAN HOLIDAY! YOU AMAREICANS ARE SO FREAKING CLOSED-MINDED THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE LIKES YOU! YOU THINK YOU ARE THE KINGS OF THE WORLD! SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY THING I HATE MORE THAN AN AMAREICAN IS A CHEESE-EATING SURRENDER MONKEY!"
"The French? Yeah, we hate them too."
"I'm glad we can agree on something. But can you guys take down that flag? I'm sort of offended by it."
"Buck you, Rainbow Dash! We ain't doing that because we're Amareicans!"
"MAREICA!" The others yelled in response.
