Rainbow Dash looked around the hall for her best friends - it seemed they were nowhere to be found. But, over the mass of ponies trying to get out of there class rooms and back home, Rainbow could hear a mare muttering apologies to the people she bumped, which was impossible not to do, so Rainbow had some time to find where Fluttershy was. Funnily, once the halls had pretty. Much cleared, she saw the pink-maned Pegasus by her locker, trying to open it. "Hey Fluttershy!" she shouted, getting a squeal from Fluttershy as she turned and saw Rainbow barreling down the hall towards her. Right before they were about to crash together, she stopped on a dime. "Whatsup?" Rainbow said, to lazy to put space bars in the sentence, but we will just say she's out of breath. Fluttershy looked at her friend, she was a beautiful mare, and Fluttershy wondered how nobody had asked her to the prom yet. Even she had been asked, ad because of her shyness denied the offer, but a offer is still a offer, right?
"Oh, nothing, just getting ready to go home. Ive got homework to do." Rainbow Dash shook her head at what Fluttershy had said; it was easy to get a stallion to do it for you.
"Pffff. I just get Streak Shot to do it for me. A's for life!" Fluttershy just nodded her head. She knew that arguing with Dash wasn't ever a good idea, and besides, Streak didn't even remember when it mattered. With his multiple personality disorder, he was Streak Shot at school, a nerd, a bookworm, a "egghead" as Rainbow calls him, and he's fine with it. In sports he's Lightning Choke, top jock of the school, and definitely the best for partying. At any other time, he's Thunder Stride, a stallion with a good sense of humor, and has a personality that makes everyone like him. She and "Skittles" as Thunder calls her had been friends since she was just a little filly, and developed MPT during his freshpony year, which meant that he knew Dash in all of his three personalities. "I'm going back to Thunder's place, wanna come?" Fluttershy nodded her head. Even though she and Thunder were good friends, he still needed to be reminded of who she was because they met in his sophomore year. "Okay, I'll see you around then!" Flutters smiled and waved as she watched Rainbow leave, she knew Streak would be around the corner, but would become Thunder after exiting the school.
Rainbow rounded the corner of the hall to see Streak Shot, buried in one of his advanced college-level textbooks, trying to "study" bleh. Who needs studying? What did that ever do to help anypony? "Hey egghead! Get out of your books, were going back to your place!"
Streak turned his head to look at "Skittles" ugh. How could he just call her that? He would have to talk to thunder about it when they talked next. See, popular to the belief, he knew he had MPD, and was perfectly fine with it. He didn't have a evil personality like most ponies do, and he found having conversations with his other personalities could be fun. They were also happy they didn't have to study. "Hey, um, Dash" Dash smiled, but was secretly hoping that he wood call her skittles. Even though Thunder only called her that to annoy her, she secretly liked the nickname, and found it quite funny, fitting none the least. Streak got up, and went over to his locker, and Dash only waited a few seconds before Streak put away his books and got a folder. "Hey Dash, here's the last of this years homework." Dash took the papers and put them in her bag. She didn't understand why he had done it, she wouldn't be needing it, anyways.
She looked at Streak and asked him a question they went over and debated a few times. "So, Streak, is this the last time I see you?" even though there was still school after today, she would not be attending.
"You could always just skip the camp, ya' know." Dash had debated this in her head, but her dreams always came out on top.
" I was invited to a Wonderbolts academy session. If you know me, I'm not missing that." Streak nodded his head, knowing that there was no way she would miss that. "Anyways. That's not what I meant. What if we never see each other again? Like, ever?"
Streak and Dash started to walk toward the doors, and before he turned into Thunder Stride, he said to her "I promise you, I'll be back"
Rainbow dash laughed uncontrollably at what Streak had just said. "What, what's so funny?" She could tell he was Thunder now because of the change in his voice, like she had learned to do.
"You made your first joke, and it was the best one ever, that's what's funny!" Thunder started to get his composure. A few seconds after a new personality took over, he was always weird.
He straightened up, puffing out his chest. "Well good for me, give myself a lama!" He gave rainbow time to recover from what seemed to be the funniest joke in all of Equestria. Dash and Thunder stood there, staring at each other for a while before they both broke out into laughter. After THAT episode was over, they went back to Thunder's, like they always did.
The reason they always went back to Thunder's [lace was because the Equestrian government had given him a house in Cloudsdale, rent-free. He had tried to join the workhorse before, but he changed personalities so many times on-the-job that working wasn't a option. Once they got into the house they both flopped onto the couch. Both of them had similar personalities socially, and although Thunder could tolerate more than she could, they were best friends, and that was all that mattered. "hey Skittles, happy graduation, if you even passed!" Thunder and Lightning didn't know about Streak doing her homework for her - she had made sure of that.
"Actually, I did pass, so go stuff it!" Thunder laughed. He seemed to love it when she got aggravated.
"So, what's up with the camp? Still gonna be there, i'm guessing."
"Yeah, there's not much else going on, other than prom."
"Prom? so, who's the lucky stallion? Huh? Huh? Please tell me its not streak, Ill never hear the end of it!" Dash frowned. She wasn't one for dances, but nobody had even asked her to go with them. Thunder had seen the look of disappointment on Skittles face; it wasn't a common sight, but he knew it. "Nobody asked you, huh? bummer."
"Yeah. Its not all bad, I would rather hang out with you for the last time instead of going to some stupid prom."
"While I would normally be delighted to hear that I take priority over a school dance" It was now at which Skittles chuckled at the joke, "I am wondering why you said last." Dash looked at Thunder. They had been friends since they developed a conscience, of course they would see each other again, right?
"I don't now. I just hope that this isn't the last day we have with each other."
"Well, lets make it a memorable night, right Skittles?" Dash raised a eyebrow at Thunder. Thunder caught the look and made a face like he was taken aback, and Dash laughed. "Skittles, how could you! Why would a respectful stallion like myself ever think that way?"
"I have no idea why, Thunder."
"Dash." Dash looked back at Thunder, more seriously this time. Thunder only calls her that went he's got a plan or a purpose. "Go to prom with me, Skittles."
Dash was taken aback. Never had Thunder been so strong on a matter like this. Sure, they had gone on dates before, but they were casual, and "just friend" deals. "Ummmmmm.." Thunder rolled his eyes.
"C'mon, we got two hours, just wear one of those dresses that I bought you with hard earned government taxpayer money and ill just one of my tuxes paid for the same way, and well have a blast!" Noticing that Dash still looked unsure, Thunder replied to his own comment. "Skittles, think about it. Like you said, this could be our last night together in a while, possibly forever. Were both not in relationships, we've got great connections together, its about time we had a actual date together." Dash looked at Thunder, and thought for a second, just a second.
"Fine. Ill got to prom with you, on one condition."
"What is your condition?" Dash smiled deviously at Thunder.
"I get to call you Thundy for the entire night, and the author of this fanfic must also call you Thundy for the rest of the story." Thundy stared at Dash for a second, cringed at the name, and then turned to the author.
"Why do you have to write these things?"
"Im ready Thundy!" Thundy looked at the stairs. He gasped at what he saw.
"What? Did I not wear the right one?" Dash looked at Thundy with a mean look. Thundy caught the stare and shook his head, and Dash became happy again, and did a fly-around for him.
"Skittles, you - you look beautiful." Dash blushed. She had never been called beautiful by anyone other than her parents before, and it felt good. Dash flew up to Thundy and hugged him. Now - this wasn't a regular hug. Thundy had hugged Dash before, and this was definitely different.
"Hey, before I open the door, sorry for the bad vehicle. Its all I could get on short notice." Dash frowned and pushed past Thundy and opened the door. Before her was something she had never seen before. Dash turned around, and before she could say anything, he told her what it was. "Its a Ferrari California. Since this is a fanfic, I got the author to add one in. Its modified for ponies, and totally ruins any immersion a reader somehow got from the story.
"Cool! But, how do we make it move?"
Once Dash and Thundy arrived at the school, hey both got out of the car, and laughed their way up to the main entrance. Dash stopped abruptly, and so did Thundy. "Whats wrong skittles?"
Dash looked at Thundy. "Wont you turn back into Streak?"
Thundy looked at the entrance. "Only one way to find out!" And Thundy dove into the school, without transforming. "Hey! look at that!" Dash laughed and ran into the school, and they both ran to the dance floor. Some pretty good music was playing, and Thundy turned to Dash.
"May I have this dance?" Thundy looked at Dash, hesitantly waiting for him to have to drag her onto the dance floor. But instead Dash looked at Thunder and said "You may."
