//------------------------------// // Just Girls Talking About...Y'Know. // Story: Just Girls Talking // by MythrilMoth //------------------------------// Fluttershy's homework was spread out in front of her on the cool grass of the park near Canterlot High. Rainbow Dash lounged nearby, thumbs twiddling on the controls of her portable video game, a bored expression on her face. "Hey Fluttershy," Rainbow said suddenly, "do you ever...y'know?" Fluttershy looked up. "Hm?" "Y'know," Rainbow said, making a vague hand gesture. "Y'know?" Fluttershy's eyes widened. "Oh my goodness," she said. "No, I don't...y'know..." She swallowed heavily. "Do you...y'know?" "Yeah," Rainbow said tonelessly. "I...y'know, y'know?" "Oh." Sunset walked over, holding a slush in one hand, and slung her bag onto the ground as she sat down. "Hey, what're you two talking about?" "Oh, y'know," Rainbow said with a shrug. "Rainbow Dash was just telling me that she..." Fluttershy ducked her head. "Y'know." Sunset blinked and looked at Rainbow. "Seriously?" "Well, y'know," Rainbow drawled, waving one hand in a 'more or less' gesture. "How about you? Do you...y'know?" Sunset frowned and shook her head. "Not really," she said. "I mean, it's not something I really...y'know?" "Yeah," Rainbow agreed listlessly. The girls fell silent again. Pinkie Pie bounced up to them, holding two boxes of cupcakes. "Hey girls!" "Hey Pinkie Pie," Sunset said. "What's up?" "Oh, y'know," Pinkie said, sitting down. "What about you?" "Eh, y'know," Rainbow said. She glanced at Pinkie. "Hey. I bet you...y'know." Pinkie blinked. "Well, duh!" she said. "I mean, who doesn't...y'know?" "These two don't," Rainbow said. "Whoa, seriously?" Pinkie asked. "Well...y'know," Sunset said, blushing. Pinkie shook her head and sighed. "Y'know..." "Howdy y'all!" Applejack said as she joined the girls. She snagged a cupcake and sat down. "Mighty nice out here, y'know?" "It's a lovely day, yes," Fluttershy said. Rainbow gave Applejack a long look, then slowly grinned. "Hey AJ. I bet you...y'know." Applejack chuckled. "Shoot, y'know Ah...y'know." "Really?" Sunset asked. "You...y'know?" Rarity joined the group just as Applejack took off her hat and scratched her head sheepishly. "Well, y'know whut they say about...y'know." "Ugh, is Rainbow Dash STILL going on about...y'know?" Rarity said disgustedly, glaring at Rainbow. "Honestly!" "You're just mad because you...y'know...and you're too stuck up to admit it." "I most certainly do NOT...y'know!" Rarity cried with a dainty sniff. "Not all of us are like you, Rainbow Dash!" "Sure you are," Rainbow said indifferently, shrugging. "Sooner or later, everybody...y'know." "Y'know what?" Sunset said. "This is getting old. Let's just..." Twilight Sparkle rushed up to the group, face flushed and sweaty. "Girls! I need help with..." She looked around, adjusted her glasses, crouched down, and squeaked, "...well...y'know!" Rarity rolled her eyes. Rainbow laughed. Sunset shook her head and chuckled. "Yeah...we know!" the girls all sang out, before falling over laughing. Twilight blinked. "Umm...did I miss something...?"
