//------------------------------// // To make matters worse... // Story: Rainbow Dash makes a Prank Channel // by SaiyanApprentice //------------------------------// Chapter 10: To make matters worse “What do I do, what I do, What do I do?” Rainbow said Rapidly. Rainbow was still trying to process what Jake had said about her in his 1 million subscriber special. No one had ever told her before that she made that big of an impact on anyone's life, and now that she went and did a heartbreaking prank on Jake, It only made her feel like complete and utter trash. “Look Rainbow just calm down” said Sunset. Rainbow Dash glared at sunset. “Clam down?! Are you kidding, I don't think you realize how much of an asshole I feel like right now” “Rainbow” Sunset said softly. “You can still try to fix this. Sure Jake might be hurt or even completely heartbroken, but the best thing to do is apologize, take down the video and above all, be there for him” Rainbow signed. “Actually, I didn't upload it. I sent it via email to this guy that's a big prankster on YouTube and it was basically an audition to be apart of their YouTube group” Rainbow immediately put both her hands over her mouth as she now realized she had said too much. She remembered the letter YouTube had sent her about all this info on to not speak of it to anyone outside of 100,000 subs in YouTube. “What?” said Sunset. “You wouldn't understand” Rainbow blurted out. “It's a YouTubers thing only” Sunset frowned. “Well, I'm a Youtuber. I actually started a page shortly after I stopped filming your pranks” Rainbow eyed sunset “You did! How come?” Sunset started blushing. “Oh...well I was going back through comments on the videos I helped make and I kinda liked the nice things people were saying about me. So I ended up making a channel giving life advice and that sorta stuff” Sunset pulled out her phone to show Rainbow one of her videos. “See” Hello everyone, shimmer glimmer here and today's topic is gonna be on friendship… “Oh, soooo how many subscribers do you have?”  Rainbow asked. Sunset pondered for a moment. “Somewhere around 40,000 I think” Rainbow sighed again knowing she's gonna  have to spill the beans to Sunset in order to get some advice about how to fix her mistake. “Okay, since I already blurted it out I'll just give you a brief summary. Otherwise I'll be up creek with the UN” said Rainbow. “Basically Once you pass 100k, you get all these privileges. Yada yada yada, and even there are certain groups or clubs for each category of video on YouTube” said Rainbow. “And you were asked to be apart of this prank group?” Said Sunset. Rainbow nodded. “Yep, I sent him the video before you came barging in. It was basically an audition, but they wanted me to join. I was just trying to impress them” Sunset gave rainbow a more serious look with this new provided information. “So what are you gonna do then” Rainbow turned to her computer and started up an new email. “I'm gonna tell him I changed my mind, I appreciate the offer but I'm gonna decline. If joining comes at Jake's expense or even at my friend's expense, then it's not something I want to be apart of” Rainbow then sent the email and turned back to Sunset. “Fun fact! They actually asked me to prank Jake for the audition!” said Rainbow. “Well I'm glad you making this decision Dash, now all you need to do is make things right with Jake” said Sunset. Rainbow suddenly heard a ding alert come from her email. “He replied back!” Rainbow quickly opened up the email and looked over it. “What does it say?” Said Sunset. “He says ‘Meet me at the Sugar Cube corner in your city. Since you already sent in the video to Audition, we will have to go through a process to discontinue it” Rainbow read allowed. “Well, that's looking good. Everything might just be starting to turn around” said Sunset. Rainbow hopped up from her desk, slipped her shoes on and started heading for the door. “I gotta go Sunset, I need to get this sorted out ASAP” “Good luck” said Sunset with a sheepish smile. Rainbow didn't answer as she rushed out the door and scurried to the Sugar Cube corner. ~~~~~~~~~~ Brian patiently waited at a Table at the Sugar Cube, waiting for the Rainbow haired girl who had emailed him saying she didn't want to be apart of the council he was apart of. Rainbow suddenly burst through the doors of the Sugar Cube corner and quickly made her way to the table Brian was sitting at. “Ah Rainbow Dash, have a seat please” said Brian. Rainbow nodded and sat down in front of him. Before she could open her mouth, Pinkie pie jolted in front of the two’s table. “Hello Dashie, and stranger. I'm Pinkie Pie” said Pinkie. “Pinkie? What are you doing here?” Asked Rainbow. Pinkie giggled. “I work here part time silly, Remember? Now what can I getcha” “Oh yeah” said Rainbow. “Vanilla milkshake for me” Brian smiled. “I'll take a strawberry one Ms.Pie, I'm Brain by the way” Pinkie smiled. “It's sooo nice to meet you Brian, and I'll be back with those shakes here in a jiffy!” Pinkie then dashed off to the back kitchen. Leaving Brian and Rainbow. “So Rainbow, you don't want to be in our council of pranksters?” He asked. Rainbow Dash lowered her head. “Yes, and I'm sorry. I really do appreciate the offer, but I don't want it to come at my friend's expense. So I'd like the video back if it's not too much to ask” Brain grinned. “Fair enough” Brain then reached out to grab his Phone but paused after a few moments of staring at it. “Oh wait, I'm sorry “ he started. “Don't you mean….this video” Before her very eyes, Brian turned the phone to Rainbow. That showed the scene of her kissing Jake in his room, but something there was something far more wrong than just the video itself. It was uploaded to his YouTube channel, titled ‘RainboomTV’s best prank yet!’ Rainbow was mortified at the sight, he had uploaded that video she sent him to his channel! And to make matters worse, since he had way more subscribers. It was getting views. “What?! Why would you post that!?” Screamed the mortified Rainbow Dash. The whole restaurant was now starting to draw attention the scene that they were making. Brian chuckled to himself as a huge group of other pranksters came from every direction, out from hiding. Booths, the bathroom, even from outside. As confused, angry and even humiliated as Rainbow was at the moment. She could still name every prankster that was coming toward their table. Prank invasion, RiceMan, Romanatwood,TheBradberrybrothers, Ock.TV, Fousytube… The list just went on and on. They all walked to Brains side, laughing at her as they did. “What is all this?!” Rainbow stuttered. Brian chuckled. “We've been playing you the whole time” Rainbows put pips shrank and her eyes widen in shock. “What...” “We've been screwing with you” said Brian. “Think Rainbow, do you think we'd let you into our group after all the attention and views you've been getting and taking away from us?” “B-but, I” “But what? You've made our pranks look like trash in comparison to yours and talking OUR ad revenue, and for that, we got ourselves a little payback. But I don't think we're quite done yet” said Brian. Rainbow stood up from the table in a state of mixed emotions of Rage, embarrassment Confusion, with tears rolling down her face. “You guys are all a bunch of Assholes!!!” She screamed. “How could you do this to someone?!” They're laughter reignited. “Awwww don't be too down about it Dash,after all……..” “it's just a prank bro” Those five words just made Rainbow want to break down and let out all her built up emotions right then and there. This was no where close to a joke to Rainbow, this was just humiliating and flat out horrible. she watched as they laughed and finally couldn't take anymore as she burst out the resultant doors and ran as fast as she could back home with the pranksters laughing away. Pinkie pie emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray with two milkshakes on it over toward the table were both Brain and Rainbow were sitting. “Alrighty here's your milk shakes guys” she sang. Pinkie then looked over toward Brain and then the rest of the group of Pranksters. “Saaay, where'd Dashie go? Ooo! And who are your friends? I'm Pi-” Pinkie was interrupted by one of the Pranksters knocking the tray of Milkshakes out of Pinkies hand and onto her shirt and the floor below, leaving a cold, milky mess all over” The Pranksters then started laughing again as she stood their confused and slightly hurt as she knew that it wasn't an accident based on how they were acting. All of the Pranksters then started to head out of the restaurant with rude remarks, leaving Pinkie standing there with a mess to clean up on her shirt and the floor below. “T-that….wasn't very nice” she said. ~~~~~~~~~~ Rainbow Dash ran into her bedroom and slammed her door shut as hard as she could without breaking it. She wanted to be alone, after everything that has happened today she just wanted to vent and be alone. She just wanted to scream. She plopped down on her bed, her face landing on one of her few pillows. She then started screaming at the top of her lungs for as long as she could. Thankfully the pillow muffled the sound and no one was home at the time. She then sat up, look over at her camera that was on her nightstand. She picked it up, examining it slowly, remembering all the videos she had made on it. She then tightened her grip on the camera and threw it at the wall as hard as she could, shattering it into pieces and leaving a mark on the wall, where the camera had made impact. She let out another shriek of frustration as the shattered camera hit the floor. Rainbow then started the ball, letting out all her emotion as she cried into her hands. Why was this happening to her? She just wanted to fix things after she knew she screwed up. But now the world knows what she did and Rainbow was thinking they’d probably all assume she was a bitch...or worse. She lifted her face from her hands and prepared to let out ear bleeding loud scream, to attempt to help her frustration. “FUCK!!!!YOU!!!!!” ~~~~~~~~~~ Jake sat at his computer sobbing as he was now on skype with one of his only friends he felt like he could talk to in his time of need about the situation he was going through. “I don't know Vanoss, she was just so nice and kind to me, not to mention close. These feelings just developed on there own, I didn't think this would happen though” said Jake. Hey look dude, it's alright. Trust me, we are all here for you whenever you need us. Jake smiled. “T-thanks Evan, that really means the world to me” Hey don't sweat it, we’ll. Always be here for you man and I'm sure you’ll get this situation with Rainbow sorted out. “Yeah I hope so” said Jake. Before Jake could continue, he felt an odd presence in the room, that was strangely  coming from behind him. Almost like he was being watched. “Hello...CheckMateJake” Jake took off his header and quickly turned around but was caught off guard by a black bag being placed over his head. He tried to yell and and break out of the hold as he was being submitted in, by now he was even starting to get dragged off. Jake.Jake! What's going? Jake! Answer me! Jake! the lone headset now laying on the computer desk was making all sorts of noises as the person on the other end was obviously in a state of panic. A figure slowly approached the headset from out of the shadows. Revealing Brain putting on the headset to see what all the Commotion was about. “Hello?” Said Brian. Who are you! What happened to Jake! “Oh relax, I’m just your everyday YouTube prankster. Chillax bro” said Brain. “As for Jake, we're just taking care of some business” I hope you realize, you're making a big mistake here! I'd advise you to stop “Like I said we're just taking care of business” said Brian. “This doesn't concern you, it's just a prank bro” Brain then took off the headset and dropped it to the floor. “Let's go guys” The Prankers then started leaving the room, dragging behind them a struggling Jake. “Let's she how Rainbow takes it when her little friend is taken away from her, just like she took away everything we've worked for” said Brian.
