Cherry: Hey mom my friends are here, I'm heading out!

Rainbow: Alright Cher, be cool, and remember what I told you!

Cherry can barely hear Rainbow Dash since she's already out the door.

Cherry: Yeah yeah! Bye!

Rainbow: And don't slam the-

SLAM!

Rainbow: * grumbles * door…


A Few Hours Later

Cherry: Hi, I'm back!

Dumbbell: Yo.

Hightide: * scampers out of his room * Hi Che!

Cherry: Hey, squirt!

Rainbow: Hey Cherry, so how did it go?

* Cherry jumps up and down excitedly *

Cherry: It was great! I was great! Those obstacle courses were easy as pie! I mean, yeah you were right, that instructor was a total hard nose but, huh, * crosses her front legs * I didn't have anything to worry about.

Dumbbell: Considering she's a griffin, the hard nose thing can't be helped.

Rainbow: * laughs * Trust me, Rocket, Gilda was just going easy on you. She'll give you plenty to worry about in the coming weeks.

Cherry: I'm ready for it!

Rainbow: Attagirl.

Dumbbell: But the agility class ended over an hour ago. What took you so long getting back?

Cherry: Me and my pals wanted to practice some more before we went home.

Rainbow: Oh really?

Cherry: Oh and you should have seen me, mom. I was amazing! I was zig zagging all over the place! Shooting through loops, goin round those tight corners, cuban eights, hammer head turns, outside loops, inside loops, tailspins, the works!

Dumbbell: * grins * Wow somepony call the Wonderbolts. I think we've got a aerial genius over here.

Cherry: * puffs out her chest * You can betcha warrior ancestry on it! I mean, some pony should have taken a picture! By the time I was finished, those quarray eels didn't even know the way back to their holes! Aaahahahahaha!

Rainbow: Wait, repeat that. You just said what about quarray eels?

Cherry: AaaaHAHAHAHA—Erk!

Rainbow: You were flying around quarray eels…in Ghastly Gorge. The one place I told you not to go?

* uncomfortable silence *

Cherry: Ummyeah-no! I uh. I didn't mean to say that. We didn't go anywhere near the gorge I swear!

Rainbow: * narrows her eyes. It's not as severe as Fluttershy's stare, but she's been taking notes * Yeah, I don't believe you.

Cherry: We didn't mess with the quarrays! Honest!

Hightide:* puts hooves up to cover his mouth * Oooo, Che in twooouble.

Cherry: * throws a deadly sidelong glance at her little brother * Quiet you!

Rainbow: Cherry Bomber, I've already told you that place is too dangerous for you to just go joy flying! You could easily get snapped up by one of those things and we'd never see you again.

Cherry: * frowning * I'm not afraid of those dumb eels. I'm way too fast for them anyway!

Rainbow: * stamps her hoof * I don't care how fast you are, I do not like being lied to. And you disobeyed me!

Dumbbell: Come on, Button. If you're anything like your mom, then you suck at lying.

Cherry: You're not helping, daddy…

Rainbow: So you admit that you went to the gorge?

Cherry: * sighs * Yes mom, I went to the gorge…but it wasn't MY idea! It was Grace Lightning and Swing Shots! They talked me into it!

Rainbow: Huh? Gracie? Isn't she an earth pony?

Cherry: * shrugs * She'll jump the canyon one of these days.

Dumbbell: Ghastly Gorge is too dangerous for a bunch of fillies to play around in. There's worse things than eels down there.

Cherry: * her eyes go wide * Really? Like what?

Rainbow:* grumbles *

Dumbbell: Falling rocks

Rainbow: Hey!

Hightide: * laughs * The Tank stowwy!

Cherry: Oh yeah! When Tank saved mom's life!

Dumbbell: So the moral here is, never leave home without a tortoise.

Rainbow Dash: * blushes * You really aren't helping, Bell.

Cherry: * gasps * Oh and daddy! Didn't you say that you got your cutie mark there?

Dumbbell: Yep.

Cherry: * runs over and hugs her father's leg * That's so cool! What did you do? You gotta tell me what happened! Tell me now, please!

Hightide: * hugging the other leg * I wanna stowwy too!

Dumbbell: Alright alright! But don't knock me over for it!

Rainbow: * is sporting a halfhearted scowl * Now you're really not helping!


Some Time in the Future

Cherry: Ma'am! I've finished cleaning the entire bathroom top too bottom with only a tooth brush as you ordered!

Rainbow: Done already?

Cherry: Yes ma'am! I ask permission to speak freely, ma'am!

Rainbow: Hmmm. * scrutinizes the bathroom * Ok, everything looks clean. You have permission to speak.

Cherry: Phew! Well I-uh…should have said it earlier. But Gilda kinda sorta set up all the training stuff… right on top of Ghastly Gorge, and she didn't want me to tell you that-

Rainbow: She did WHAT?!

Cherry: I'm trading this information for my freedom! And a potty break!

Rainbow: Gilllddaaaa!
