Goodbye Dollet and Thanks for All the Fish! (backdated to Sept 28)

[om_nom_namur]

Characters: EVERYONE!!! And any "local" NPCs you want to make up
Location: A warehouse down by the wharf
Rating: G+? idk people will do as they will do
Open/Closed/Finished: Open
Summary: It's an excuse to pump dance music really really loudly, tbh.

The party was put together ridiculously fast, but everyone who decided to help went all out, and the place is pretty damn awesome. There are refreshments, strobe lights, a loudass music setup, and lots of space to dance. Come on in and have a blast! Garden will be sailing off in the morning, and then it's back to school. Time to get in that last hurrah!

"I'm unstoppable enough," she said haughtily, though she cracked an eye open to peer at Fionna. "Uh, what'd she tell you?"

[fionna_time]

"Like when you went to Clowsdale to show 'em the Rainboom again," Fionna said casually. "Said you were pretty petrified, actually."

[elementofloyalty]

"Cloudsdale," Rainbow corrected. "And that's only because I was having trouble getting the Sonic Rainboom done. THAT's over and done with! I could do one any time I wanted now!"

[fionna_time]

"Yeah, and what happened when you got all ego maniac and then they were the Mysterious Mare Do Well?"

[elementofloyalty]

Rainbow folded her forelegs, squinting at Fionna. "How did you get Twilight to tell all this stuff, anyway?"

[fionna_time]

"We study really, really late," she said, "and sometimes I have so much energy she needs to find a way to get me to shut up. Besides, what do you expect. You have an ego larger than, like, a gorge, but I still think you're the coolest. We wee bound to talk about you."

[elementofloyalty]

"When I get back to Equestria, I gotta have a word with that pony about boundaries." Rainbow fluffed up her feathers in mild irritation for just a moment. "She should only talk about the cool stuff!"

[fionna_time]

"It's better to know all about somebody you really like, not just the good stuff," Fionna said, winking. "It makes them seem like real people, and so you can feel like a real one too!"

[elementofloyalty]

"And it's even better to find out about stuff FIRSThoof instead of second," Rainbow shot back. "How would you like me telling Twilight about YOUR embarrassing stuff? ...if I could."

[fionna_time]

"Either way, it doesn't change that you come a long way," Fionna said. "Stories just make people what they are: they make mistakes, mess up, they learn and get up and do it again."

[elementofloyalty]

"And then get embarrassed by their previous selves," Rainbow added. "Kinda wanted to skip that part."

[fionna_time]

"You can't escape your past!" Fionna said. "That's what happens when peeps from your world are around! I'd take it though, if I could see my sis."

[elementofloyalty]

"You gotta tell me more about your sis," Rainbow said, grateful to seize on any topic of discussion that wasn't how she'd screwed up in the past.

[fionna_time]

This actually did catch Fionna by surprise. No one had wanted to learn abou Cake.

"Oh, sure dude! What do you want to know?"

[elementofloyalty]

"Oh, uh, everything!" She hadn't thought about specifics... "Just tell me some stuff about her, y'know?"

[fionna_time]

"Hmm. Well, she's real caring and junk. Like, if some guy so much as looks at me wrong, she can grow all huge and scary if she needs to! She and I go on adventures all the time, and she's helped me kick Ice Queen's butt plenty of times! She can be scary as a cat though, like on my birthday. She wanted to get me presents so...she kinda gave me the heads of all these small animals. the stains were on the floor for days!"

[elementofloyalty]

Rainbow listened to this story with a smile, finding it to be relatively sweet and nice and not about her past embarrassments...

...right up until the last line. She recoiled away with a look of disgust and horror on her face. "Ew! Ewwww! Oh my gosh, why!?"

[fionna_time]

"Cats do it to show they like you," Fionna said. "It is the most messed up thing ever."

[elementofloyalty]

"Okay, this is first, why I am not a cat pony, and second, if I had a sister who decapitated animals as presents for me I wouldn't care WHAT animal whe was acting like!"

Rainbow had missed something.

[fionna_time]

"Eh. All animals are gonna have their own things, whether you want them to or not. Cake may do weird cat things, but she's the best friend I ever had, and if anyone messes with me, well, she'll make 'em regret it for a long time. You couldn't ask for a better sister!"

[elementofloyalty]

"Uh." The weird, weird light of realization dawned across Rainbow. "Fionna, is your sister a cat?"

[fionna_time]

"Well yeah, technically," Fionna said, shrugging. "I'm adopted."

[elementofloyalty]

"Into a family of cats?"

Rainbow's mental images only got weirder and more alarming with every sentence.

[fionna_time]

"Yeah, I was...kinda abandoned in a forest. Cake's mom and dad basically became mine. It's why I vowed to be a hero, to help anyone in need, like I was way back then!"

Never mind the "boom-boom" part. Not that essential to the story.

[elementofloyalty]

Rainbow blinked once, very slowly, and then again.

"I'd ask how cats taught you to be a hero, but what I'm really confused about is how cats taught you to... walk and speak and stuff."
