“You’re 15, and look every darn day of it too.” AJ flicks me again, and now I’m about to chomp her fingers off. “Plus I don’t like that type of stuff anyway. When my cousins are over it might as well be a whole carnival, and it’s the worst damn time.” She gets all weird again. She does this thing where she bites her lip when she’s trying to hide something. AJ can’t lie, she’s like cursed, I swear to God, so when there’s something she can’t share, she has to stop herself otherwise the truth will come tumbling out like my drunk uncle from a port-a-potty. “I pray every night they ain’t ever gonna come back.”
Rainbow Dash is by far living the worst life ever. Her parents are crazy, her school is annoying, and she can’t run track until next year. At least she has AJ, her secret boyfriend, and a concert on Friday to look forward to.
Okay, so her life could totally be worse.

Thank you so much to Mockingbirb for the edit suggestions and the blog.
This is an alternate universe. The timeline and events of EQG won't be the same, in fact, only the characters are the same.
This story sure has a lot of fun with first person present tense narration and different characters' ways of speaking. I'm loving it so far (haven't read all of it yet)!
I’m happy you are enjoying this utter craziness so far! The last 7 will be even more so…no spoilers yet though!
I just read this story again, after a conversation I was in happened to remind me of it.
This story is about a lot of stuff. Some of whicih even flies VERY between the lines, imho. But I see one of this story's themes is how sometimes when people just don't want to accept something, they (we?) can do a pretty good job of refusing to put the pieces together, to recognize what's really going on, or what MIGHT be going on.
This is true for more than one character in this story, in more than one way. It might be the problem that MOST of the characters in this storiy are wrestling with, different people in different ways and at different stages of the wrestling.
And, if people just don't want to notice the clues and where those clues might lead...how do you talk to people like that? Especially when you're living under their authority or it seems like they could screw up your life even worse if they wanted to, and you feel like you're in more than enough trouble already.
Anyway, either this is an uncommonly good and interesting fimfic, or it's one of the most interesting fimfics I've ever had the privilege to read (OR BOTH!) imho you should be pleased with it.

Thank you so much for such a kind comment. I’ve been thinking about returning to writing ponyfics again but felt discouraged about the diminishing fandom. This story really did mean a lot for me to write. I’ve been thinking about cleaning up the errors and maybe fattening up the chapters a bit more. This comment definitely gave me the spark to perhaps return to it.
