Every Lie Counts

Back to Normal

Ten Months Later...

"Can you please just stop talking about it?" Indigo demanded.

Sunny shoved her. "I'm telling you, I saw her. It was her hair, her walk, it was....her! She's not dead, alright? We have to find her!"

Aria sighed. "If she is alive and she wanted to come home, she would call us. We can't just make her come back. It's her choice."

"We're finally done with Discord and Applejack," Fluttershy muttered. "But my parents still want me to get a new phone, phone number, computer, and email. And they keep asking me why I slept with my teacher." She shook her head. "So how's Rainbow?"

Adagio gave Fluttershy her phone. "I've called her ten times today, but she won't pick up. She probably thinks I'm stalking her." The other girls stopped. Adagio flinched. "Okay, I didn't mean it lime that. I just meant she thinks I'm being to protective. And I-I know I am, but the girl just had a baby! And she's only seventeen!"

Sonata looked away. "I'm helping her. She's just tied right now, but we're still together."

Sugarcoat smiled. "We're all going to be fine. Now we can use our phones without being scared. H and A are both dead. We should be happy. We're still alive after all that happened to us."

"Not all of us made it," River snapped. She sighed. "I-I'm sorry." Tears blurred her vision, and she felt Sonata take her hand. "Do you remember when Sunset Shimmer thought that Henna was helping H? Henna lied to us. She was still helping Applejack. We told her everything, and she was just using us."

"I don't think she was helping Applejack the whole time. I think it started when she got out of jail," Aria told her.

River shook her head. "Emerald killed her. We'll never know what happened."

Adagio bit her lip. "I thought only Equestrian magic could kill her."

"Right. And we're from Equestria."

Josi ran down the hall. She was holding a paper. A smile lit up her face. "We got in, we got in!"

Sunny grabbed Josi's arms. "Wait! Are you for real? We really got in? We really get to go this summer?"

"Yup. We leave in two weeks; right after school gets out."

They all squealed. Sonata smiled. "So how was your date with the Shadowbolt last night? I, uh...well, I don't remember his name."

Josi smiled again. "His name is Trenderhoof, and it was great. I really like him."

Blair touched her sisters shoulder. "Yeah, my sister loves a lot of guys. I can remember her first boyfriend. Ah, that was a long time ago, but he was so gay." She smirked. "But I would honestly ex-"

"Okay, thank you!" Josi quickly cut off her sister. "Let's go."

"Bye girls." Blair followed her sister to the bathroom. Her face looked bored.

Josi glared at her. "Why would you do that? I want them to like me! You're just making them think I'm a freak!"

Her sister rolled her eyes. "No, sweetie. You're making them think that." She knew her sister was getting uncomfortable. "But I mean, I'm sure I would think the same if I found out. You should tell them first, dear. Or I will."

"Oh, and tell them what?" Josi hissed. "I could take back so much and tell them it was all a lie!"

Blair leaned to her sisters ear. "You know, I really don't care. I just wonder what they would do when they find out how gay you really are."
