Or Rarity! Or fucking Flash! Someone." >You jerk your head back in a show of genuine confusion >Your head collides with the half-opened window and pain fires across your skull >Triggering your own building anger "Maybe I was! At least they make some goddamn sense, once in a while!" >Dash literally shakes her fists in the air and screams, looking around for something to punch >Finding nothing, she decides to point at you again >"Big badass Anon, right? No one fucks with Rainbow Dash but then you come along and HEY you've got her all figured out! Right?" >Your head is still throbbing and the onslaught of half-complete thoughts from Dash isn't healing anything >You stumble the rest of the way through the window and step outside >She still won't leave the gateway "You are being batshit- oh, just come the fuck in already!" >She huffs loudly and walks through the gate into your yard, making tracks for you >You get the old fingerjab in the chest >"I talk to Gilda today and she asks me how long you and I have been a thing. Now, why the hell would she be thinking something like that!?" >You throw your hands up again "Fuck if I know! I don't hang out with her! That's your deal!" >"Uhm, excuse me but-" >You and Dash both whip around to look at your neighbor just at the other side of your fence >You yell at him together "FUCK OFF WE'RE BUSY" >FUCK OFF WE'RE BUSY" >He scurries away and you refocus on each other >"I told you a hundred goddamn times that whatever we do, it doesn't mean anything. It's, uhh.. c-competition? Yeah! That's exactly what it is. COM-PE-TI-TION. You don't get to go around telling every one of your dumbass keyboard jockey nerdlings that we fuck around."
