“Aw shoot,” Applejack said as she stood up after falling from the collision “that smarts.”
“Motherfuking hell!”” Sunset shouted as she stood up as well. “Fucking idiots! Doesn’t anyone watch where the hell they’re going around here?!”
“Ah’m really sorry,” Applejack said turning towards her, “Are ya’ll oka…” but her apology was cut short and her eyes widened as she realized who she had run into.
Pocket Pair, the next one to recover, also got up and said “ouch, talk about Newton’s 3rd law in action. Is everyone ok here…” before his eyes widened too as he realized Sunset Shimmer was standing before him.
Sunset, taking notice of their silence, said “What the fuck is up with you two? Hello, Earth to weirdoes! Did the collision scramble your puny brains or something…” She said before laughing at her remark. However, she quickly stopped laughing upon looking at them more closely. “Hey, wait just a minute!” She said “Both of you look incredibly familiar! Have I seen either of you before?
“Yeah,” Snips said. “You do look familiar. Have either of you per chance ever starred in a porno or something?”
Applejack, snapping out of her trance, nervously said “Huh? Us look familir? No ah don’t think we are familiar to ya. Ah mean not that we aint heard of YOU before or anything, but.. ya know…” she said nervously. She then looked at the clock and said “My my my! Look at the time! If we stay here any longer we’re both gonna miss our bus. Let’s get movin P Pair,” she said as she started briskly walking down the hall way expecting him to follow her. Pocket Pair however, instead of moving, just stood there in shock and thought.
“Hey, I think you forgot something!” Sunset called after Applejack, causing her to turn around and notice Pocket Pair wasn’t following her. “I’d get him checked out if I was you,” Sunset continued, “It looks like he might have broke from the collision!”
Applejack, walking back to the group, muttered “Well ah, ya know.. heh heh heh” she laughed nervously, before she leaned into Pocket Pair’s ear and whispered, “Hey, P Pair! Come on will ya!?” Again however, Pocket Pair just continued to stand there.
Sunset, taking amusement in his motionless behavior, began to chuckle and said “wow, he’s quite the bright one isn’t he? Tell me, does he always act like this, or did I catch him on a good day?!”
Applejack chuckling nervously again, turned to Pocket Pair and said, “Dang it P Pair, why are ya’ll standin there like an idjit?! Get movin already!”
“Yes, please do.” Sunset said cynically. “I want to see if you’re smart enough to walk on your own!”
Pocket Pair, after standing there another minute, gulped before he whispered, “Here goes..” HE then turned to Sunset and said “hey, are you alright there pretty miss?”
“Oh my god! It talks!” Sunset said laughing.
“Uh huh yeah,” Pocket Pair said. “I do indeed talk. Sorry to be all weird on you there for a minute. I’m not usually like that. It’s just that whenever I find myself in the presence of such a beautiful lady like you, I always have trouble coming up with what I want to say.”
Applejack, shocked at what she heard, said “What?!”
“Yeah,” Sunset said suspiciously, “What indeed?! I mean don’t get me wrong, I am pretty so you’re right to say that about me. But no one has EVER said that to me even once before! What are you trying to pull here?”
“Yeah,” Snips said. “What dick are you trying to pull…” before he was elbowed by Sunset.
“Pull? Why I’m not pulling anything on you…” Pocket Pair said. “I just like to tell people how I feel about them. Certainly I’m not wrong for telling you the truth now am I?”
“Well, no…,” Sunset said, “I guess not… But then how come you’re the only on to ever tell me how pretty I am?”
“Well,” Pocket Pair said. “I can’t state for certain, but if I had to take a guess I’d say it’s probably because you tend to hang around vapid jerks! You can’t expect people like them to say the truth about you! After all, think about how much it would affect their reputation if they openly admitted how pretty you were?”
“That… actually makes sense!…” Sunset said accepting what he was saying.
“Of course it does!” Pocket Pair said, “And that same logic is exactly why there’s no reason I can’t tell you every single thing I think about how pretty you are.”
“P Pair, what in tarnation are ya…” Applejack said, before Sunset stuck out her hand and motioned for her to stop.
“Hey! Cowgirl!” Sunset said. “Shut your yap and let him continue. I’m intrigued in what this guy has to say.”
Pocket Pair, happy to see his plan was working, took a deep breath in and said, “Well where do I start? There’s so much I want to say!”
“Start with my hair!” Sunset said, “How does it look?”
“Your hair?” Pocket Pair said, “Why I think your hair looks amazing. And I just love the way that the red highlights in your yellow hair, or maybe it’s yellow highlights in your red hair, I honestly don’t have enough experience with hair to tell, work with one another to make it stand out like a plate of bacon in the snow.”
“Oh brother,” Applejack said rolling her eyes.
“Hey, shut it,” Sunset said to her, before she turned back to Pocket Pair and said, “go on.”
“Well,” Pocket Pair said continuing. “As amazing as your hair is, it is not nearly as dazzling as your clothes. That black leather jacket just says ‘hey world, look at me, I run this thing.’ And that skirt with the bicolored sun on it tells just that, just like we always feel the sun on a clear day, we always feel your presence whenever you enter a room.”
“And my figure,” Sunset said.
“Your figure…” Pocket Pair said thinking. “Well, I could try to describe how awesome, amazing, and perfect your figure is to you with words, but ultimately, what’s the point? Your figure is so perfect that no words I could say would even come close to giving it the proper justice so I’m better off not saying anything!”
Sunset, smirking, said, “Well well well, finally someone who appreciates true beauty. You should take fashion advice from him cowgirl, it’d do you wonders.”
“Uh huh, sure… ah’ll definitely do that” Applejack said nervously.
Sunset then turned towards Pocket Pair and said “Well anyways there kid. I guess I was wrong for thinking you were stupid earlier. You may just be the smartest guy in this entire school because you’re the only one who sees the truth about my looks.” She then looked at the clock and said,” Well in any case, I have to go so I can’t stick around and chat. See you around smart boy!” She said before she turned and began to walk away and Snips and Snails followed her.
“See ya later hottie,” Snips said to Applejack as they walked away.
“Yeah,” Snails said, “give us a call sometime will you cowgirl? We’ll be happy to teach you about the REAL cowgirl” before sunset shoved both of them and they both stopped talking and faced forward again.
Applejack, after looking on nervously, sighed and said, “Phew that was a close one. Now come on P Pair, let’s count our blessins and get outta here!”
Pocket Pair however, ignoring Applejack , said “hey wait!” before he ran after Sunset Shimmer and got in front of her, blocking her path.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Sunset said trying to sidestep him.
“Wait, please you can’t go, not yet!” Pocket Pair said getting in front of her again.
“Excuse me!” Sunset retorted. “Get out of my way! I have to be in detention in five minutes!"
“P Pair, come on, let’s go,” Applejack said walking up to him.
Pocket Pair however, ignored Applejack again and said, "Yes, I know that, and I’m not trying to hold you up here. I just need to ask you one quick question and then I'll get out of your bacon colored hair."
“GRRRR.” Sunset groaned rolling her eyes, “Alright fine. But make it quick!”
“Ok, I just wanted to uh.. uhhhhh....” Pocket Pair stammered.
“Come on, spit it out already!” Sunset shouted. “I don’t have time to waste here!”
“It it’s just, I really, really think you’re cool Sunset.” Pocket Pair said, before he face palmed at the stupidity of that statement.
“Wow, really?!” Sunset said feigning enthusiasm. “Wow, just wow. It’s not like EVERYONE in this entire school thinks that about me and thus it wasn't a total waste of my time for you to stop me so you could tell me that! Oh wait, yeah it was! So if you’ll excuse me…” She said trying to step around him again.
Pocket Pair, getting he in front of her again, said “hey wait, I wasn’t done yet.”
“Oh yeah?!” Sunset said angrily, “You better stop getting in my way kid or you'll learn just how fast I can make you done!"
Pocket Pair, gulping, then said “Alright alright, just give me a second," before he breathed in deep and said "Long story short, I really want to be like you Sunset shimmer.”
Sunset, annoyed at him stating the obvious again, sarcastically said "Uh, no shit. It's not like I'm queen bee and everyone's jealous of me or anything!"
Pocket Pair, ignoring her remark, continued and said,"So, because I want to be like you so much, and because you yourself like hearing me compliment you so much, I was hoping that, maybe if you didn't mind, that you'd, help me learn your ways in exchange for more compliments..."
“Huh?” Sunset said confused. “Help you? Learn my ways? What on Earth are you blabbering about?"
Pocket Pair responded and said “Well, in other words, I was hoping you would, let me hang out around you once in awhile so I could observe you and you ways more...."
Sunset, shocked at what she heard, widened her eyes and said “Woah woah woah WOAH! WAIT A MINUTE HERE! Did you just ask me if we can hang out some time?”
“Uh, yeah,” Pocket Pair said, “I guess that’s one way to word it Sunset. So what do you say? Huh?"
Sunset, after sitting there in shock for a few seconds, began to chuckle before she broke out into hysterical laughter, and Snips and Snails, after looking at each other, quickly began to laugh along with Sunset. “HAHAHAHA” Sunset said, “Oh my god. Now THAT is a good one!"
“Yeah!” Snips said as he snickered.
“Yeah” Snails said as he laughed, before he stopped laughing and turned to Sunset and said “UH, Sunset, what are we laughing about again?”
“P Pair, come on, let’s go!,” Applejack said, this time trying to pull him away from Sunset, but failing as he shook loose from her grip and turned back to face her.
Sunset, who had finally finishing laughing, then turned to him and said, “Wow kid! THAT was funny! You really can tell a good joke! And you know what, while normally I'd humiliate you for blatantly wasting my time like this, because your joke made me laugh so hard, I'll let you off the hook this time!"
Pocket Pair however, annoyed at her laughter, said “hey, what about the answer to my question Sunset!?”
“Question?” Sunset said stifling a few residual giggles. “And what question are you referring to?”
“Can I hang out with you? Yes or no?” Pocket Pair said irked.
“Wait.. Oh my god!” Sunset said shocked. “Don’t tell me you, were actually being SERIOUS when you asked that!!!?!?!?!?"
“Uh, duh, of course I was, so could you just…,” Pocket Pair said, but he was quickly cut off by another fit of hysterical laughter from Sunset.
“HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Sunset laughed even harder than she had before, and she quickly lost her ability to stand and collapsed onto the floor, where she rolled around and howled in laughter.
Upon seeing this, Pocket Pair’s irritation increased, and Applejack, seeing him tense up, walked up to him and said “Come on P Pair. Can’t ya see this aint workin? Can we just go already?" before she grabbed him and tried to pull him after again.
Pocket Pair however, now very irritated, yanked free from her grasp and said “Hey! SUNSET! What is so god damn funny about that question I just asked you!?!?!"
Sunset, finishing her bout of hysterical laughter, got up with effort and said “Well duh? Isn’t it obvious? You suggesting I, the queen be of this school, take you, a lowly loser at the bottom of the social ladder, under my wing and hang out with you!? HA hah hahhahah! It’s just so preposterous you can’t possibly NOT laugh!” she said before she slapped her knee and began to laugh some more.
Pocket Pair, now getting angry, said “And just who are you calling a loser Sunset, because it had better not be me…”
“No, it's not you at all,” Sunset said cynically. “I’m actually talking to the invisible student standing right in front of you!" She said stifling another bout of laughter.
Well, that's... HEY!" Pocket Pair snapped as she began to laugh again.
"Wow, you actually fell for that one?" Sunset said amused. "You know, for someone who has such insightful opinions about my appearance you’re really not all that bright now are you?”
Applejack, seeing Pocket Pair tense up in anger at that latest statement, leaned into him once again and said “P Pair, come on! Stop beatin this dead horse! It aint gonna get ya nothing!” before she grabbed onto him and tried to pull him away once again.
However, Pocket Pair, now truly angry, struggled against her and with the adrenaline pumping through him managed to break free again after exerting some effort. He then turned to Sunset and said, “Hey, stop laughing at me and implying I'm a stupid loser! What about how awesome I was just two seconds ago for complimenting you like that? Surely that should get me better treatment than this..."
“OH, you think so?” Sunset said snarkily, “Well then I'm afraid you have a lot to learn about reality around here. The fact is, that while you may be the only person to tell me those things to my face, you’re hardly the only one in this school who thinks them about me! So if you think that because you told me that stuff just now you're entitled to some sort of special treatment from me, then you are sorely mistaken. No matter how many times you compliment me, it will never do anything to change who you are in this school. An insignificant loser at the bottom of the social ladder! And being the queen bee, there is no way I would EVER jeopardize my reputation in this school by agreeing to hang out with someone, like you, will never amount to anything here. So, now that I’ve clarified that to your puny pea brain, I have to take my leave. See ya later, LOSER!" Sunset said before she and her group turned and walked away.
Applejack, seeing Pocket Pair grit his teeth in anger, said “P Pair, don’t…” but she was too late as that last remark pushed Pocket Pair's temper to the breaking point.
Pocket Pair, having lost his temper, shouted after Sunset, “Oh yeah Sunset! Well maybe you're right that I am a loser, but at least I'm not a total fucking BITCH like you!”
Sunset, immediately stopping after hearing his comment, turned to face him and glared at him, before she said “What did you just call me?”
“Clutch, he called ya clutch!” Applejack exclaimed. “As in cool, heh heh heh,” She laughed nervously, before she quickly grabbed Pocket Pair’s hand and tried to dash away with him.
Pocket Pair however , given the extra adrenaline pumping through him from his rage, easily broke free from her grasp and turned back to Sunset. He then said, “What? You didn’t hear what I said the first time? Heh, and I thought your toadies were supposed to be the dumb ones here. But anyways, since you didn’t hear what I said the first time, I’ll guess I'll just have to repeat myself to you. You Sunset Shimmer, are a cold, heartless, fucking ,BITCH!”
Sunset, angered at his outburst, walked up to him and got into his face before saying, “Oh, so you say I’M the stupid one here? Well guess what smart guy! The only one I see with any deficiency in their intelligence around here is YOU! And if you have any idea of what is good for you in that puny little brain of yours you will shut the fuck up RIGHT NOW before you really piss me off!"
“Oooh, ” Pocket Pair taunted covering his mouth and backing away, “I think you're the one who needs to shut their mouth! Your breath is RANCID!" he said to her.
Sunset, quickly losing her temper, said “WHAT?!"
“P Pair, shut it!” Applejack snapped at him, before she put both arms on him and tried to pull him away by force.
Pocket Pair however, adrenaline pumping through his body, managed to oppose the much stronger farm girl, and said, “And you know what else is Rancid. You are!"
"Hey, give Miss Shimmer her proper respect you little Welch." Snips said to him.
"Me give her respect?" Pocket Pair said before he busted out in laughter. "Oh that's rich! Why should I give any respect to that fucking bitch! It's clear she doesn't deserve it."
“P Pair!” Applejack said still trying to pull him away.
“LAST WARNING!” Sunset shouted at Pocket Pair, “Do you have any idea who you’re talking to here? I’m the fucking queen bee! The ruler of this school. The master of the hallways! I got where I am BECAUSE people see how great I am and respected me enough to elect me leader! And if you don't get back in your place right now I promise you you'll regret it"
However, Pocket Pair , still fighting against Applejack's grip, said, “Oh, me get back in my place? And what about th fact that you've never been in your place Sunset!?"
"What?" Sunset snapped, but Pocket Pair ignored her.
"I mean really," Pocket Pair continued, "Do you really think the reason you got where you are is because everyone here respects you? HA! As if! Everyone knows that no one in this school besides your two idiotic lackeys there respects you in the slightest Sunset Shimmer, even you! And I also know that even though you may have been 'elected' ruler of this school, only reason why that happened is because you're such an uber bitch that that no one ever had the balls to seriously try and oppose you! If you want the truth Sunset, as much as you say to the contrary, we both know you don't deserve any of the things you have in this school right now! You don’t deserve to be queen bee! You don’t deserve to run this school! And you NEVER deserved to win fall formal!"
Sunset, red in the face and eyes twitching, opened her mouth to call him out, but was cut off by Applejack who shouted "“GODDAMN POCKET PAIR, SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! AH MEAN REALLY, ARE YA THAT STUPID THAT YA THINK PICKIN A FIGHT WITH THE MEANEST GIRL AND MOST POWERFUL GIRL IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL IS A GOOD IDEA!!!! LET ALONE DOIN IT THAT SAME DAY YA GOT HER DETENTION FOR TELLIN ON HER FER BULLYIN SOMEONE! WHAT IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH DO YA'LL THINK THAT'S GONNA GET YA!?"
However, before Pocket Pair could respond, Sunset, said "Wait a minute! Pocket Pair? You’re POCKET PAIR! As in the same Pocket Pair form this morning?!"
Applejack ,realizing she just spilled the beans, said, “Wait, ya’ll didn’t hear me right, ah said,”
“Oh I heard you right alright cowgirl,” Sunset said, before she turned to Pocket Pair. "I KNEW you looked familiar, and I can't believe it took me this long to realize why! Do you have any idea how much trouble you caused me!? How much bullshit you started this morning when you led that pathetic revolution against me!? Now the whole school wants me overthrown, and because of you standing up to me this morning and being SUCCESSFUL they now know they can do the same too and get away with it! Already some fucker from that class shared a video of the indident on facebook and destroyed my popularity, and just now one of my longtime rivals declared to my face that they would be running against me in the fall formal this year! My dream to win the fall formal crown this year is getting further and further away as we speak, and it's all because of YOU!"
She then continued and said "And then in spite of what happened you still had the gall to approach me just now and try and ask me to help YOU!? Well guess what loser, I'll help you alright. And when I'm done giving you my help, you will regret the day you EVER messed with me! So I hope you enjoyed your first day of school, because I can assure you that once I'm done with you that word will never again be used to describe another day for you here at Canterlot High!"
"Sunset Wait, No!" Applejack said pleading to her. "Please, don't do this, give him another chance!"
"Give him another chance?" Sunset said incredulously. "And why would I do that? HE stepped out of line and has to pay the price for his insolence! And besides, what kind of impression would I be giving if I let him off the hook? Then everyone would start talking to me like that and I would be lose all the respect I've worked so hard to get! But I digress, I have places to be and things to do. See you losers later," Sunset concluded, before she, Snips, and Snails turned and began walking away.
Pocket Pair, finally having his anger subside, realized what he had just done and turned towards Applejack. “I.. I didn’t, I didn’t mean!"
"Come on P Pair, let's go." Applejack said glumly, before Pocket Pair nodded and both of them began to walk towards the front of the school.
