Hey, my Rainbows! X3

<><><>

Please note that this chappy'll have other POV's. :)

—

Also: Please stop comparing Barn Keeper, a.k.a. "Barney", to the purple dinosaur from the kid's show, "Barney". Though it was funny the 1st few times, the joke is getting old now (and a bit annoying). O_O

I got his nickname from Barney Rubble (from the 60's cartoon, "The Flintstones"). :D

<><><>

Note (4-10-15/6:01-03pm, 6:04pm): I had to correct Twilight's mom's name in the last chapter and this one... O_O

Her name is "Twilight Velvet (fan name)", not "Velvet Sparkle". :3

<><><>

Onward! ^^

[During Applejack's Drive To Keeper's Farm]

||Twilight Sparkle's POV: Fed Up||

{Tuesday, October 7, 2014/11:35am, Twilight's Home, Canterlot, Equestria}

My parents, brothers, and my sister all agreed to give me a fucking intervention for my quote, unquote "alcohol problem". I do not have a problem thankyouverymuch. Shining Armor, my mom, Twilight Velvet, my dad, Night Light, Spike, Cadance, and Solar Flair are all sitting on our living room couch, waiting for me to answer the question that the damn therapist they hired asked me a few seconds ago: "When did you first start drinking?". I, being me, am going to tell them the truth. I look at my brown and tan argyle sweater. I then look at my dark brown skinny jeans. I tell the therapist who's sitting in a chair to the right of the couch (my left),

"(*Looking the therapist in the eye*) Well, Doctor Medic Charm, it all started with an innocent house party at a friend's house."

"Who was this friend?," Doctor Charm asks as he writes on a sheet of paper attached to a really boring, brown clipboard, "If you don't mind me asking."

"One of my friends, Pinkie Pie, threw a party at the manor of my other friend, Rainbow Dash," I say.

"At what point did you start consuming the alcohol?," the stiff, Canterlot doctor asks me sternly.

"When I went to drink the pink lemonade in the punch bowl with my closest besties, the other Elements of Harmony," I reply, bored already, "We didn't know it was spiked; (*Glaring at Spike*) It was clean when Pinkie made it."

"How do you know she didn't put drugs in it before?," Doctor Charm has the balls to ask me, making my family gasp as my anger rises to a boiling point, "Did you taste it before that particular moment?"

"No," I say angrily, "I did not. However, Pinkie would never put drugs in anyone's freakin' punch! Besides, the lemonade had been spiked with alcohol, not drugs. Where'd you get that from?"

"Alcohol was at that house party?!," my mom asks angrily, "(To the doctor) I bet her wild little friends came up with that idea! What's that really wild one's name...? (*With an "I got it!" face*) Rainbow Dash! The one with the crazy, colorful hair and more holes in her ears than there are in slices of Swiss Cheese!"

I wanted to laugh at that moment, but I decided against it. Plus, they just blamed two of my friends for something they didn't do. My anger rises again.

"You'll be surprised at who actually spiked the lemonade, mom!," I say, deviously grinning at Spike, whose eyes widen twice their normal size, "In fact, Rainbow had no clue it had liquor in it, thank you very much. It just so happens that a certain, green-haired teenager in this room was the one who decided to play a little joke and *Cough* Spike *Cough* the damn punch!"

"Watch your mouth, young lady!," my mom yells.

"NO!," I said, finally blowing up, "YOU WATCH YOURS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO TALK ABOUT MY FRIENDS! (To my mom and Doctor Charm) HOW DARE YOU TWO SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT THEM?! YOU DON'T KNOW THEM! (To my mom) In fact, Shining trusts Rainbow Dash with teaching Golden Armor how to fly! Actually, Rainbow Dash is the most loyal of us all. You should trust Rainbow with your life. She saved mine. Several times. Ya know what? I am so sick of your attitude towards my closest friends. We're done here. You can go home, Doctor."

Shocked, the doctor packed up his things and, surprisingly, left without a word. I told my mom what Spike did that night at the party. I stormed up to my perfectly tidy room, not wanting to be bothered. Before I knew it, I was packing my clothes into a suitcase and I was teleporting myself to the Everfree Forest.

[Time Passes]

||Rainbow Dash' POV: Still M.I.A. O_O||

{Wednesday, October 8, 2014/12:20pm, Sweet Apple Acres, Ponyville, Equestria}

We had decided to wait 'till today to search for Twilight; Applejack is with us now. I say,

"We should call the guys and ask them if they've seen her."

"Nah," Applejack replies, walking down the steps of her porch.

"Wait a minute," I say to Applejack, completely confused, "What happened to the whole 'cowgirl' thing? (*Looking at her outfit*) Are you wearing fudging Converse?!"

Applejack nods, completely hat-less, wearing black skinny jeans, a black hoodie, and red and white high Converse with white laces in them. Whaaaa -? The world's going insane! Or I'm going insane... O_O I ask Applejack,

"What the -? You got 30 seconds to explain yourself. Go."

"A friend made me realize I needed to stop wearin' my dead mother's old clothes," Applejack says with a smile, her hands in her hoodie's pockets, "They make me cry 'cause I miss 'er. So I'm tryin' the whole 'normal-ass teenager' look."

"What?," I ask, sad that she's been orphaned since age 4, "Why?"

"'Cause I'm sixteen and I act like I'm damn near thirty," Applejack replies with a chuckle (well she is the level-headed, mature one), "I need to act my age. Ya know?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever," I say to Applejack flatly, my brain trying to process everything that's changing around me.

"And as a response to y'all's other statement," Applejack starts to say seriously, "Nah. We don't need to worry Flash with the news of his damn missin' girlfriend."

I nod in agreement, happy that one thing, Applejack's calm, too-cool-for-you, southern accent (and her profane nature, like mine, lol), is still familiar.

"I think I know where she might be," I say matter-of-factly.

"Where's that, sugar cube?," Applejack asks me with curiosity.

[Time Passes]

{2:00pm, Near The Everfree Forest, Equestria}

The girls and I are in Applejack's old truck, with it's faded red paint, driving toward the Everfree Forest. Rarity, sitting in the back seat with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, won't stop squirming uncomfortably. Nor will she stop complaining.

"Has this truck ever been washed?!," Rarity whines her question, making me more and more irritable with every complaint.

"Yes, Rarity," Applejack says through her gritted, white teeth, "(*Mumbling*) Now shut up and let me freakin' concentrate. (To me) You really think she's with Zecora?"

"Well there are only two places she'd be, A.J.," I say confidently, smiling, "Our castle or at Zecora's place! And we already checked the castle."

"Right," Applejack replies, but I don't think she was necessarily talking to us.

We park in front of the Everfree Forest's entrance. As we each get out of the truck, Rarity suddenly excitedly yells,

"Finally!"

"That's it, I'm gonna fuck-ing kill her," Applejack says angrily, walking straight for Rarity, who fearfully takes a few steps back.

"Oh shit," I say in alarm to Pinkie and Fluttershy, who look as shocked as I am.

Flutters, Pinks, and I rush to stop A.J. from hurting Rarity, but we might as well be trying to hold back an angry bull; she's too damn strong.

"A.J., STOP!," I yell at Applejack angrily as I fly in front of her.

A.J. stops and blinks, looking up at me. She sighs sadly. She turns to Rarity and says with smile,

"Sorry, sugar cube. I ain't mean to lose my temper like that."

"I'm sorry too, darling," Rarity replies, returning A.J.'s smile.

"YAY!," Pinkie yells, grinning, "HUGS!"

Pinkie pulls us all into a hug, despite the fact that one of us isn't exactly a hugger. We pull away from each other. Applejack, wearing a terrified expression, starts saying,

"T-T-T-Timberwolves."

I turn to where her left index finger is pointing. Oh shit. Timberwolves. We all scream and run toward Zecora's hut cottage thingy, dodging trees and whatnot. They chase us intently, but they're gonna have one hell of a time trying to catch me; I'm on the Canterlot High track team and I break every record I set every year. A.J. and I are in the lead. As we run, Fluttershy sprains her ankle, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Ow!," I hear Flutters say in pain.

"Come on Flutters," I begin to say desperately, rushing to her, "Don't fall on me."

I pick Flutters up off the ground and, as I carry her in my arms and take off running again, the Timberwolves advance. I hear Rarity shriek with fear. A Timberwolf is biting the stiletto heel of her right pure-white, mesh sandal. She, surprisingly, takes her shoes off of her feet!

"Here, take them!," Rarity yells at the Timberwolf, throwing the sandals at it, "I have another pair!"

We run more and, as I speed up, so does Rarity. The heels are no longer slowing her down. The Timberwolves suddenly jump in front of us! Rarity screams.

"Is this the end, girls?!," Rarity asks dramatically.

"Umm...," I start to say, not really sure how to answer her question.

"No, it's not!," a familiar voice yells and some blast of fuchsia magic flies past us, incinerating the scary Timberwolves.

"Twily?," Pinkie asks, shaking a little, but smiling.

We turn to see fucking Twilight Sparkle waving at us. Now I wanna kill her. And yes, I am aware that she just saved our lives. But if she hadn't gone fucking missing, we wouldn't have needed her to be a fucking hero!

"Hey, girls!," Twilight says happily, "(*Smile disappears*) Sadly, I must get going. I have to concentrate on Zecora's lesson. (*Smiles again*) Bye!"

With a pop, Twilight's aura teleports her away from us. Da FUCK?!

"I'm gonna fuck-ing kill her!," I yell angrily like Applejack did to Rarity, making Fluttershy jump and A.J. pats me on my back softly to calm me down, chuckling.
