When a mysterious hooded woman appeared among the thick layer of fog around the park, I gasped out of slight fear as I held Applejack's shirt closer to my chest.

Her voice were familiar to me, it sounded like she's in the volleyball girl's team. But the fog was too thick for me too even clearly see her.

I just moved away from the person, thinking to myself that she might me some kind of kidnapper with a cheerful high voice.

But when she suddenly took a step forward, I immediately stood up from my seat and did a random stance, still holding the most valuable thing in my hand.

Rd: "B-back off, i know kung fu you asshole!" I yelled back, pretending to be tough.

"Woah Dashie Chill!" The girl chuckled, stepping closer to me.

My eyes slowly widened after the teen removed her raincoat's hoodie, revealing her poofy curly pink hair.

Rd: "P-pinkie pie?" I asked shockingly.

Pp: "Heya Dashie! What are you doing here?!" She greeted with a huge smile. "Oh no your all wet!"

Rd: "In a sexual way or.. Oh okay you meant my clothes, yeah. But I could ask you the same question, Pinks." I replied while reaching out my hand to do our fist bump

Pp: "I was supposed to be in my way home from today's practice but this huge storm wooshed into my way!"

Rd: 'Uhuh.. I can see that. " I answered while nodding my head to act like I understand her.

Pp: "Then it suddenly became stronger so I decided to stay put for a while to wait for it to stop, and now I found you here in the park, alone and crying!"

Rd: "W-what? No Im not crying." I started, wiping away the tears in my face. "Im not, promise." 

Pp:" Your lying.. You okay, what happened to you?" She worriedly asked before closing her umbrella, seating next to me after. "You lost? Want me to take you home?'

Rd:" What? N-no Im not, Pinkie. Im fine."

Pp:" But what are you doing here alone? I haven't seen you for days!"

Rd:" I just visited some one important.. Its none of your business."

She suddenly leaned closer and wiped my tears away while doing that huge yet sincere smile of hers.

Pp: "And Im guessing its Applejack?"She grinned, arching an eyebrow at me.

Rd:" W-what.. No, its not her- I mean.." I stopped talking when I noticed she was giving me another look. "How.. did you know?"

Pp:" Its my Pinkie senses! But enough about that, is she the reason why your all alone, miserable crying like a kid who lost her ice cream!"

Rd:" I.. You can say that." I started, looking back into her eyes and smiled weakly. "How are you dude? I kinda missed you."

Pp:" Awww I missed you too Dashie! I've been so worried for you and Applejack.. and even Fluttershy because she's acting weird.

Rd:" Don't be, how's the our- I mean your team's doing? I bet they're having fun practicing for the prefecture qualifying matches this week."

Pp:" Honestly.. the club has really changed since you left."

Rd:" Heh what do you mean? Im just a useless team player remember? So all of you are gonna act dumb now just because the freak duo thing is gone?"

Pp:" Dashie.. If this is about Sunset I-"

Rd:" No its not, can we just.. Talk about something else?" I asked after looking back to the almost flooded ground.

Pp:" Well If were gonna stuck here for Celestia knows how many hours, we can catch up! We were so worried for you, Rainbow. I missed you more than you miss me!"

Rd:" I already told you..  I miss you too dude, but no need to worry about me. Im actually on my way home like you."

Pp:" If your just going home.. then why are you crying?" 

Rd:" I already told you I had a little talk with someone important."

PP:" But why are you all wet, did you run without any protection! Where's your gear? Here have mine!" She worriedly asked while handing me her umbrella.

Rd:" Woah Pinkie! What is this, 20 questions or something?" I growled back, almost shouting.

Pp:" Oops sorry Dashie! Im just worried for you, even Sunset and our team."

Rd:" Bullshit. Why would they even care about me? I left the club remember? Im not apart of it anymore."

PP:" Dashie.." 

As even more tears form in my eyes, I felt her hand rubbing my back while she continued hushing me, telling me to stop crying. 

Like Rarity, I mysteriously encountered Pinkie here in the park in this type of tragic weather.

But even though I kept denying her comfort, I cant help myself from bursting out in tears again when I recalled the thoughts I had for Applejack, again.

Rarity and Pinkie pie are like my older sisters who took care of me when I needed them the most but seeing them after leaving the club is just making me feel ashamed and not worthy of being seen.

Pp:" Shh.. Its okay Rainbow, let it all out." The pink haired teen comforted with a soft smile. 

Rd:" P-pinkie pie.. I messed up so bad, so freaking bad.." I cried as I looked up to her, causing her eyes to widen. 

Pp:" Shh.. Please stop crying, Im here, tell me what wrong.. "

Rd:" You wont get it! Shit's been happening to me and I still feel so freaking confused!" I stuttered, slamming both my fist onto my lap. 

Pp:" Rainbow just calm down, just breath.."

Rd: I already confronted Applejack today, Pinkie.."

Pp: "Well, what did you to talk about? Are you to together now?"

Rd:" Hell no, I just found something disturbing from her.."

Pp:" Is it about Countess Coloratura? Cause I saw them walking home together after practice."

Rd:" A-are they together now?" I asked with a weakened voice.

Pp:" I don't know. I mean its pretty messed up if they are. All I know is Countess has been acting really weirder than usual around your girl-"

Rd:" She's not my girl anymore, Pinkie pie. We broke up, remember?"

Pp:" But you said the word 'for now!" doesn't that means-" 

Rd:" That doesn't means anything! We broke up and she has Coloratura now.. Its final!" I interrupted as I grabbed her raincoat to pull her closer to me, out of anger. 

PP:" D-dash.." She gasped, slightly scared. 

As soon I realized what I was doing I slowly look back down while removing my tightened hands on my friend.

Rd: "I.. Im so sorry." I cried.

Pp:" Its okay.. But what do you meant by Applejack already has Coloratura?"

Rd:"' I saw them, Pinkie. They were making out.." 

Pp:" WHAT THE ACTUAL F-"

Rd:" I know right? But no need to be angry, she deserves an even better girl than me, right?" I replied with a forced smile. 

Pp:" H-how? Why?! Applejack maybe an asshole to all of us but she will never do such a thing to you!" 

Rd:" I dont know anymore. But we already talked about it, she told me that she still loves me.. Is that even t-true?"

Pp: Of course it is!" Pinkie smirked. "Knowing Applejack for these past months, me and the team already knew she only has a sight for you."

Rd:" Then why the f*ck is she with Countess, Pinkie?" 

She just stayed silent to my question, still rubbing my back with her hand to calm me down. Both of us didn't know what to say nor do at the time so we just stayed silent for a few seconds. 

Knowing our pink haired cheerful libero, she was always happy and loud just to make me and my team laugh during practices. 

But now, I suddenly made her stop talking. This is the first time I ever seen her this quite yet so caring at the same time. 

I can still feel the cold breeze that made my whole body shiver same as my friend. I was just facing down on the ground when suddenly I felt something warm.

I slowly looked back up again and saw Pinkie pie removed her raincoat and placed it around me, leaving her number 3 jersey still on. 

Rd:" P-pinkie no!"

Pp:" Teehee, its okay Rainbow. You need it more than I do."She answered with a warm smile.

Rd:" But you'll get cold!"

Pp:" Its okay, you matter more."

Rd:" I.. thank you." I thanked with a weak smile while arranging the raincoat to place around me.

Pp:" No problem, Im your upperclassmen after all!"

Rd:" Y-yeah but Im still worried for y-"

Pp:" Hush now child!" She foolishly interrupted. "Im okay, I've been in worse situations." 

And again, another minutes of awkward silence passed. But it wasn't long until I finally spoke up, facing Pinkie in her eyes. 

With Pinkie pie still shivering from the cold breeze, I gently took the other half of the Raincoat and moved closer to her, wrapping it around her for us to share.

She just replied with a huge smile as she tapped my rainbow haired in a fun way, looking back to our chaotic surroundings afterwards.

Aside from me and Applejack's problem, I decided to ask my friend the other question that has been bothering me since the day I left the club.

Rd:" Is it true?" 

Pp:" W-what?" She asked, stuttering from the cold. 

Rd:" About what Sunsets? Am I really that worthless of a team player?" 

Pp:" I knew it.. Your still bothered by it."

Rd:" Obviously, she's one of the reasons why I left."

Pp:" You shouldn't be bothered by what Sunset said, she's just protecting you.."

Rd:" Protecting me? protecting me?! Ha, nice joke."

Pp:" N-no Im serious! She only wants you to the best Rainbow, to become the Ace!" 

Rd:" Heh, if she wants that, then why did she underestimated me? As a wing-spiker, as a player, as her goddamn friend!" 

Pp:" Sunset wasn't like that before.. we all know she's just avoiding you to make the same mistake she did."

Rd:" What? What do you mean?"

Pinkie just sighed and faced me with that warm smile of hers, placing her arm around me before looking away. 

Pp:" Listen closely Rainbow, The only reason Sunset was being hard on you is because she knew all of this will happened. She only wants you to be strong! You see, this happened to her in the past with her lover."

Rd:" T-twilight? But they look so happy together."

Pp:" Now because they already settled things. Believe it or not those two used to envy and fight each other in me and Rarity's freshman years."

Rd:" What?!"

Pp:" Its true, It all started when we had a match against Manehattan high.. I wasn't the team's libero back then so I just watched them from the bench."

Pp:" "Sunset was still a 2nd year back then and yet she was given the Ace's title. Twilight on the other hand served as the libero with her fast reflexes. But CHS back then were weak."

Rd:" What do you mean weak? You guys were a powerhouse school last year!" 

Pp:" We were, but we were instead called the "fallen heroes" after a match with Cloudsdale high. But enough of that, back to the story."

*Pinkie's story

Ss:" To me!" Sunset called as she ran up to the front, jumping and spiking the ball in mid-air. 

But when she connected the ball with her right hand, 3 girls suddenly jumped in the other side of the net to block her strong attack, making the ball bounce back to their base. 

As soon the ball fell down, Twilight immediately dived onto the ground and reached out the back of her hand towards the ball. 

Instead of receiving it, the ball suddenly slammed onto the ground and bounced out of the court, causing the referee to blow his whistle to count their opponents a point.

Ts:" D-Damn it.. Sorry!" Twilight yelled to her team after standing back up. 

All of her teams responded to her, all except for Sunset Shimmer who was now bowing her head, hiding her anger. 

Ts:" S-sunset?" She worriedly asked while reaching a hand to tap her shoulder.

But before Twilight could even touch her, their captain quickly turned around and grabbed her by the shirt, making the crowd gasp. 

Ss:" Your too slow! I thought you have my back?!""

Ts:" I do! You just lack offense, Sunset!"

Ss:" Its because of you, idiot!" 

While the two were deeply staring into each other's angered eyes, Rarity quickly pulled Sunset away and pushed her back into her position. 

R:" Stop fighting you two!"

Ss:" tsk, whatever.." 

It was clear that Sunset was no longer interested in the match, her angered eyes were only glaring on twilight who was behind her.

But the teen kept bowing her head to hide her anger from the crowd watching them. With the score of Manehattan- 24 to CHS- 18, Sunset has lost her hopes of winning this match.

Ts:" Sunset.." She muttered to herself after she saw their setter was about to toss the ball for her. 

Sunset will usually ran after it at a time like this, but instead she just stayed in her same position. 

R:" Sunset!" Rarity called, but when she realized their Ace wasn't moving, she immediately changed course and toss the ball to the opposite spiker behind her.

When their other member followed the ball, she jumped and slammed the ball with her palms. only to be blocked by another 3-woman block by another team.

Finally, the whistle blew as it scored the final point for the other team. 

*Back to Rainbow and Pinkie-

Rd:" Wow.. I never knew Sunset ever lost her passion."

Pp:" That time but now she's all focused on our team and you."

Rd:" But why? Why did she loose it? And why is her attacks kept on failing?!"

Pp:" She has the same case like Applejack. she was cant focus because of her crush.."

Rd:" T-Twilight?" I gasped, shockingly.

Pp:" Yeah, there was even a time where they fought after the match.." 

*Pinkie's story-

We were at the cleaning cabinet on our gym court after our fight with Cloudsdale high. Twilight kept crying at that time, thinking to herself that we lost because of her. 

Ts:" The follow-up to the block was poorly dumb, Rarity! We lost because of me!" She cried, throwing the broom into the wall which made all of us look at her. 

Sunset then stepped into the room and faced Twilight, forming both her hands into fist. 

Ss:" Why? Why aren't you blaming me too?" She started, holding in her tears "WE LOST BECAUSE OF ME! no matter how many balls you received, it wont matter if the spiker cant score!" 

R:" Sunset!" Rarity growled at her but she didn't listened. 

Ts:" What do you mean it wont matter?" Twilight asked in a soft voice before looking into Sunset's eyes. "Why didn't you call for the toss at the end then?"

Pp:" Hey, stop it, Twilight! Rarity kept passing her the ball, she's probably tire-"

Ss:" Bullsh*t! I would't be able to score even if you toss to me.."

Suddenly, something in Twilight snapped. Out of anger, she quickly rushed towards Sunset and grabbed her by the shirt.

Ts:" How the hell will you now if you dont try?!" She cried with anger in her voice. "I kept the ball in play.. Isn't that good enough for you?!"

Ss:" Asshole.. I cant think straight at that time!" Sunset growled back as she grabbed Twilight's shirt too.

Ts:" Why? Iin s it because I couldn't have your back? Is it because Im a worthless player?!" 

Ss:" NO!" The sunset haired teen replied after placing her hand on Twilight's chin, causing her cheeks to slightly turn red. "Its because.. I cant stop thinking about you, Twi. I love you!" She admitted. 

*Back to Rainbow and Pinkie-

I was still in shock after Pinkie told me the story of our captain.. and how she confessed her true feelings to our 2nd year egghead. 

Pp:" So you see, The only reason why Sunset was so hard on you is because she didn't wan to you to make the same mistake like her."

Rd:" So.. Twilight's the reason why she kept missing!"

Pp:" Yep! But not anymore since she already fixed their relationship. Well their problems are kinda same with you and Aj."

Rd:" Huh?"

Pp:" Think about it, Applejack already told us the reason she kept missing her tosses is because of you and that perverted mind of hers." 

Rd:" It does seems similar.."

Pp:"I know right!? But anyways, don't take Sunset's words to seriously kid. She see's your potential."

Rd:"  R-really? She really said that?" I asked as a irresistible smile formed in my face.

Pp:" She did, we all did."

Without any hesitation, I quickly pulled Pinkie pie into a tight hug, pulling away to let her wipe my tears.

Rd:" Thanks for all of this, Pinkie."

Pp:" No problem, I just want to my friends smile!" My friend smiled. "And dont worry, I'll help you get your girl back." She added with a huge freaky grin.

Rd:" I-I think your onto something.. something that includes me in a maid dress.." I nervously giggled.

But when I see how serious she is, I just gulped and slowly removed her raincoat, standing up afterwards. 

Rd:" Oh damn.."

Pp:" I'll think about it, Dashie." Pinkie laughed in a sinister way while wiggling her eyebrows. "Wait where are you going?"

Rd:" Well the rain weakened, I need to go home to stat practicing.."

Pp:" Practice what? OOHH OHOH ARE YOU COMING BACK?!" 

Rd:" Maybe, I'll think about it." I said with a grin before placing Applejack's jersey on my chest. "See you at practice Pinkie, thanks for your time." 

Pp:" Any time Dash, Im so glad I had a talk with you!"

Rd:" Yeah me too, bye dude.." I lastly said before running out of the park.

Pp:" BYEE DASHIE!" Pinkie yelled back, waiving her hand goodbye at me.

At last.. I know what I must do now.
