Friendship is a Game

"So let me get this straight," Rarity said. The group had entered into an ID for this conversation since they didn't want to be overheard. "My sister was kidnapped by human traffickers and you didn't think it was worth mentioning?!"

Twilight winced at that.

"We we're trying to think how best to tell you," Twilight tried to say, but even she knew that was a weak excuse. "Sunset and I just found out about it yesterday."

"Rarity," Sweetie said, trying to calm her sister down. "She probably didn't want to expose Micro's secrets if she didn't have to. If you found out about that then you would've wanted to know who saved us right?"

"But still!" Rarity said. "They could've just claimed to have saved you themselves! Or that Shiro did it! Or some magical authority stepped in!"

"I am so sorry Rarity," Twilight said. "We thought since she was being taught how to defend herself, we could wait a bit before saying anything. At least until we could figure out whether or not to reveal Micro."

Rarity looked like she was about to rant again but Sweetie looked up at her. Taking a few deep breaths, she managed to calm herself down.

"Next time anything like that happens…" Rarity started. "You will tell me or I swear…"

"Of course," Twilight said. Rarity gave her a look and it was clear she was still upset, but that they were still friends. She turned to Shiro.

"So...you are teaching her?"

"And she is taking to it like a fish to water," Shiro said proudly. Sweetie blushed at the praise as he went on. "Not only her primary elemental affinity but also other spells as well. It's astounding!"

"Really?" Rarity said, looking toward her little sister. "Can I get a demonstration?"

Sweetie went wide eyed but looked to Shiro. With a nod from her teacher (and more) she left the ID lobby of the motel and readied herself in the parking lot. The others filed out with Rarity grabbing Twilight's shoulder.

"We are meeting with Applejack and Rainbow tomorrow to discuss this."

It wasn't a request. Twilight gulped a bit and nodded. Rarity wasn't violent normally, but she could be very scary.

Outside, the group gathered to watch Sweetie. Swallowing her nerves at doing this in front of an audience, she began. Slamming her foot into the ground, she created a small set of pillars.

Even Shiro whistled at that. He didn't teach her how to separate the stonewalls yet.

With a smirk she conjured Zephyr around her, too excited to worry about her skirt flapping up, though Rarity did send a small glare at Shiro. The young girl leapt into the air and landed in the middle of the cluster, sending a wave of Chill into the ground. The pillars around her grew frost on them and Shiro saw a slight glow appear around her skin. Enhance Self.

'She's chaining spells like a master,' He thought in awe.

With a roar, Sweetie slammed her fist into the nearest pillar. Instead of breaking her hand like Frida and Rarity expected (Twilight recognizing the tell tale spell signs as well), the rock shattered as she did the same to another with a kick. Using another Zephyr to flip back toward the group she looked at the remaining pillars and held two fingers skyward.

With a single flick, lightening shot down from the sky and destroyed the remaining stone. Sweetie grinned and turned back toward the others…

Only to begin falling forward.

In a burst of wind magic, Shiro appeared by her side and caught her.

"I got you beautiful," he said. Sweetie giggled.

"My hero." And with that, she passed out.

"What's wrong?" Rarity asked in worry.

"Nothing major," Shiro said. "She just used a lot of magic really quickly. A bit of rest and she will be right as rain."

He held her bridal style and made sure his hands weren't accidentally touching anything. And no, it wasn't just because Rarity was watching him like a hawk. He wouldn't do that to Sweetie while she was out anyway.

"Well, I guess we better be heading home," Rarity said as she began walking off with Shiro and Sweetie.

"Wait," Frida said with a small smirk. "You still owe me a favor. Both of you."

Twilight sighed and Rarity nodded.

"Sorry," She said. "With everything that happened it slipped my mind."

Shiro chuckled to himself. They hadn't revealed his Illusion ability just yet.

"So," Rarity continued. "What can we do for you?"

"Well...part of me wants to have you two rent a room with me and we go at it all night…."

Rarity and Twilight stared at her mouths agape. Shiro meanwhile let the image fill his mind and chuckled.

"No way!" Twilight stated.

"You're married!" Rarity added.

"And Ze and I have a very opened relationship...though she never really finds anyone else...huh. Anyway, instead of that, how about this."

She turned to Twilight and smiles.

"You try to get Celestia to hire me as a sex Ed teacher. I don't necessarily have a teaching liscense but with my knowledge on the subject I would be the perfect choice."

Twilight sputtered, unable to come up with a response as the pinkette turned to Rarity.

"As for you…" she walked up and grabbed Rarity by the shoulders. "Please let me be a model for you!"

Rarity was stunned at this. From her previous requests, she thought it would be something more...sexually related. Although…

The fashionista looked Frida up and down. The tan skin...the shapely hips… the undeniably eye catching rack.

"I would love to have you model for me darling!" Rarity eventually said. Frida grinned wide and hugged the designer close.

"Oh thank you!" Frida cheered. "I guess I should let you in on a secret then if we are going to be business partners. I know what happened to your panties the other day at the store."

Rarity stared at her, forgetting what she meant before she went wide eyed.

"What!? What happened?!"

"Well...my niece has an ability that grants her powers from obtaining panties… And she isn't my niece…. And she isn't usually a she. You were actually right the first time."

Rarity thought hard, trying to recall what had happened. Then, it clicked. The name that first came to mind when she saw the girl with blue and black hair.

"MICRO!!!!!!"

Micro

"Achoo!" Micro sneezed as he walked Silver to her front door.

"Bless you," Silver said. Micro smiled and thanked her as they reached her porch.

"Well, in case I'm getting sick maybe I shouldn't-"

Before he could finish that statement, Silver claimed his lips with her own. He held her close before separating and smiling at her.

"Goodnight Sil," He said.

"Goodnight Micro."

She went inside as Micro headed off toward the woods. It was almost time for his date with Fluttershy, and he hoped she got some rest this afternoon.
