A/N: Ok so about the musical showcase I have changed some of its rules, In the movie 'Rainbow rocks' a band will have to compete against all of the other bands to reach the semi finales, and then the Grand finales, and the grand finales  is the last round, but here in my book the bands will compete like in Finale jam in the movie 'Camp rock' where a solo, a duet, or a whole band will proform in one round, and the winner will get a big fat giant gold trophy! If none of this is making any sense you'll either have to watch the movie 'Camp rock' or wait till we get to the more juicy parts of the story

If only I read the signs in front of me.....
         i could find a way to who I'm meant
To be.....if only....

Rainbow's POV

I finnished it! Finnaly I finnished the song, now all I need to do is practice proforming it. Shouldn't bee too bad, I mean I've sung songs mulitple times before on stage with my besties. And I have proformed solo's during music class infront of my classmates, but, this is diffirent.

Thousands of eyes will be watching me, adoring me(or not), on stage, alone, with only one spotlight. What if I screw up?

Luckily I already thought it through and thats why I decided to make this a duet so Soarin can keep me company.

My phone beeped.

Fluttershy: Hey Rainbow wanna hang out at the mall?

Rainbowdash: Sure got nothing else to do anyway

Hmm, its been a while since I've talked to Flutters, wonder how she doing after Discord's rejection. But, one thing is still puzzling me. Fluttershy told me Discord's story, and said Discord won't ever fall inlove ever again. But, if he won't fall inlove again then how come he's already crushing on someone? This is confusing.

I stood up from my bed, and made my way to the door, I swung it open to reveal my mother standing there crossing her arms. "And just where do you think you're off to?" She demanded.

I took a few steps back.

"O-out with my friends" I managed to almost not stutter.

"Sweety, you can't go, you have to stay indoors" She said frowning.

"And for what good reason?" Shit what are you doing Dash? Do you wanna get yourself killed?

"Just do as mother told" She snapped. I muttered under my breath "I wish I didn't had you for a mother, not that you deserve to be one"

She stopped, then turned around and glared at me, "You will stay in this room, and you may only come out when you've learned to be a loving daughter" and with that, I heard the sound of a 'click'

And blood rushed down my face. I rushed to the door and tried to twist the knob and push the door open but to no avail. "Hey! Let me out!" I shouted as I started banging hard on the door until eventualy I crawled into a ball and rocked myself back and forth in fear, crying.

Then I remembered Scootalou, my little sister. "Scooty!" I yelled. "Scootalou can you hear me? I'm locked! Help please!" I yelled louder and louder but still noone answered.

Where's Scootalou? What the hell happened to her? What did those bastard/bitches-good for nothing-sorry excuse for a parents of mine do to her?

"Ugh! Phone, phone phone" I muttered as I took out my phone and dialed all of my friend's numbers.

Twi, Sunset and Starlight, the trio of egggheads didn't picked up their phone, same with Rarity and Pinkie, I only just left them all thirty voice mails of me pleading and begging for help from them.

My only option, are these four: Soarin, Blitz, Spitfire and Fleetfoot

I dialed Spitfire's number first.

It was ringing, My heart hammered in my chest.

Finnaly she picked it up. But it was Blitz's voice I heard.

Blitz: Hello?

Rainbowdash: Blitz! Help please! My mother locked me up in my room and I can't get out! Please I'm begging you help me out! And Scootalou's missing!

I heard other voices from the otherend of the line. Soarin's voice, Spits, and Fleet.

"Who's calling?" Came Soarin's voice.

Blitz: I'm putting you on speaker, are you ok?

Me: No! Please get me out before they come back!

I was beggining to sob with fear.

I remembered the last time I was locked in my room. They didn't let me out for two days, two days no food o water, no bathroom.

Spitfire: Those bastards! If your parents so mucb s touches you I'll burn them to ash!

Soarin: Don't worry we're on our way just wait for a few minutes we're at Blitz's place

I sat down on my bed rocking. What if mom and dad gets here first before they do? What if I get stuck in here in my room for a week?! No food, no water, no shower, no potty break! I'm gonna die in here!

After about twenty minutes I heard tapping from my window.

I looked up and never have I ever felt happier to see the face of Soarin Skies.

"Soar!" I said relieved as I rushed to the window and tried to pry open it, but it seemed earlier when I was out of the house mom had superglued it shut.

"Stand back" He mouthed and signaled something from down there at the front porch. I gulped and took a few steps back. Then, he punched the glass window shattering it to pieces.

I saw some blood from his fist but he didn't minded.

"Hurry out!" He said as he loked down. I looked out the window and saw Spitfire and Blitz holding a realy tall ladder to steady Soarin, while Fleet was keeping a look out.

"Ok!" I said and got my bag, my phone, song book, some extra clothes, my school stuff and rushed down the ladder with Soar following me.

*****

"Sure she didn't hurt you before locking your door?" Spitfire asked concerned. I shook my head. Soarin was shaking with rage, and so was Blitz. "What kind of parents are they?" He demanded.

I shrugged. Probably the parents born as a bad seed?

"So now what? I mean I can't stay with you guys forever, I have to go back I mean, I have a little sister waiting for me" I told them. They looked at me as if I was crazy. "You can't go back, no way not on our watch" Fleetfoot snapped.

"Over my dead body" Soarin added firmly.

I sighed.

"I'm sorry I need some air" I said and went outside to the garden. It wasn't actualy what you'd call a garden, its just basicaly one big lawn with grass and one big tree to provide shade.

I sat down underneath the tree, and let the cool air wash away my feelings. I clutched the necklace Squirt gaved me in my fist regretting that I don't always put it on. I usualy wore that scarf Soarin secretly bought for me or that locket with the new pictures I put in as me and  Soarin.

Since when did I started to be fond of him? Or rather, when did I started to like him. I mean, I never realy felt any sort of affection to hin until that time we kissed at the lake. I was used to meaningless kisses, kisses that you don't ever need to talk about.

But Soarin's peculiar, he's diffirent in a good way I guess.

He cares for me in a way Quibble shit never did. He's protectiveness is something I liked. He cares for me, protects me, writes songs to make me feel better.

I mean I still find him irritating, but I'm starting to hate him less and less  now.

"Hey"

My eyes shot open to meet a pair of bright green eyes staring deeply into mine. "Hello" I said and sighed. He sat down on he grass next to me. "You've got some pretty sick parents, way worse then my dad" He commented.

I merely nodded.

Silence came, awkward silence. If there is anything I realy don't like other then girly girly things or sappy stuffs its awkward silences.

"Why do you all of a sudden began to care so much about me?" I brought up. He faced me. "What do you mean?"

"I mean at first when we first met we were always bickering and fighting, next we began to hang out more often, then we became much much 'friendly' towards each other, we've shared good laughs and...we kissed that one time, and.....not that I'm being nosy but its like you're hidding something. I wanna find that out, Soar if you have anything worrying you you can always talk to me" I told him leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Can't Dash, not when you'ce got too much in your hesd right now" he said sternly.

I held his hand sending sparks in my body. "Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me" I repeated. He sighed. "Yea, I trust you"

"Well then you can trust me to keep my mouth shut and listen to you if you need my company, I'll be there for you like you've always been there for me! I'll be your shoulder to cry on like you were my chest to punch on, I'll always have your back" I said to him playfuly punchung his arm.

"Lets just say, this is my little way of repaying you after all you've done for me, you made me laugh, made me cry, made me manage to get all my anger and frustrations out of my stomach--"

"Sent butterflies in your stomach, made your heart beat faster" Soarin said smirking.

I blushed crimson red.

"W-what are you...fuck,  you read my journal didn't you?!"

"Just the first page and the last page" He said. I glared at him but still softenned. "Sure?"

"One hundred percent"

Quiet. It was now quiet. For a few minutes we stayed in that position for a while, until I  eventualy stood up, held out my hand, which he took, and stood him up. We stared at each other for a few momments before eventualy going back inside.

*******

Soarin's POV

its been two days and tommorow Dash will be going back to her torture home. No matter how much we try to pursue her she wouldn't budge until she's reunited with her baby sister again.

I was walking alone to school, Me and Rainbow has decided to practice our duet everyday after school. Gosh, the Muscial Showcase, which P. Celestia and V.P. Luna  changed the name to 'Finale jam', is still two and a half months away! But no no no the princess wants us to practice in advance to make sure we won'y screw up infront of the thousands of eyes watching you.

Sheeesh, proforming alone on stage is something I'm already used to, I'm a famous celeb remember? Until...that one time I messee up big time I was banned from the celeb life because I lost my my company a record deal that could have made us a million times richer then we were. But, if I didn't then I never would have moved here, I never would have met my nervey princess.

I was nearing the front gates when I saw a fammiliar face I haven't seen for a few days. "Discord?"

He faced me. "Hey" he said before walking pass me. Ooooookay that was weird.

Rainbow's POV

I was heading to class when I saw a fammiliar face. Fluttershy but...wait...what the hell is wrong with her hair?! What has she done!!!!

"Hullo Dashie" She said avoiding my eye and playing with her realy short hair. It now reaches two inches below her neck.

"What...did you do?"I slowly.

Not only that, she was also wearing her clothes funny. I was always used to seeing her with pink, or green, or dark blue with a few pink, or white, and they are mostly dresses and skirts. But now....she is wearing black jeans, light blue sneakers, a red shirt with one butterly on it instead of three, and a black hoodie.

Those seem to be something only I would wear, maybe even Pinkie would of she was feeling moody.

"Like the new look?"

BITCH NO!

"I cut mu hair too, I decided I've had enough of long hair and thought a new look would suit me, and I just bought these new clothes yesterday" she went on.

I stood there jaw dropped. "Uh, it uh, looks good on you" I said crossing my fingers behind my back.

But wait, grandma used to tell me that people who cut their hair realy short and wearing clothes that aren't realy their type of colors, are broken hearted(A/N: I'm broken hearted thats why I cut my hair realy short! Like boy short)

"W-well better head to class, wouldn't wanna be late" she went on and left.

I turned arouns and saw Discord giving me a look that says 'Sorry' and went away. I growled and gaved him a look that says 'You-are-sooo-dead!'

******

For the rest of the classes Fluttershy continues to look misreble, Discord continues to look guilty but too prideful to admit it, every now and then I'd catch them sneakinh glances at each other before looking away.

I can only facepalm. Seriously? Gosh this is all my foult! I encouraged Flutters to confess when I wasn't even a hundred percent sure Discord will like her back!

And now here we go, the whole awkward glances-miserable-so sorry-not sure if they'll ever be friends again-oh no-stage. And the next stage is that they'll treat each other like total strangers! The third stage is them not being able to move on! Fourth is them growing old and living seperately all alone in the middle of nowhere in a shabby house, Fluttershy with atleast fifthy cats and Discord with a hundred dogs!

And I'll be living the guilt for forcing my best friend into this mess and not even thinking of the consequences! Some friend I am!

I'm not the best friend,I'm the worst! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"MISS DASH!!!!"

I jumped from my seat and found out almost all my classmates were staring at me weirdly. "Y-yes sir?"

I facrpalmed in my head. Sir? Seriously! Your teacher is a woman.

She growled. "Who the founder of our city?"

"Ehhhhhhh Aber ham lincoln? Marie Antoinette?"

Her eye twitched

WHAM!!!

She slapped her long stick at my desk and I jumped again.

"NEITHER! YOU HAVE NOT BEING PAYING ATTENTION AT ALLLLL!!!!! DETENTION DETENTION DETENTION DETIONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok ok lady jeez! I ran out of the room and straight to the celestia hall two where the nearest detention classroom was.

This is so not my day! Buuut things couldn't possibly get any worst...right?
