Heartflight watched the proceedings, munching on a cookie and waiting for her turn, following the group out into the lobby.

"I want you to have that compass I tossed at ya earlier, its um, pretty cool, aside from pointing north and glowing in the dark...if ya push this button its also a sextant, this one reveals tweezers, ya know for nasty splinters and what not. One of my few gadgets that didn't 'splode on me, haha.....It's yours now Sandy."

Sandy started to shake his head, started to say that the gift wasn't necessary. But then he noticed her ears, her tone, and what felt like hundreds of other cues, all saying that this little compass was the best way she knew how to say "sorry". Refusing it would only make her feel worse. With only a small shaking of his head, he stuffed the compass in his saddlebag. "Ya'll didn't have to do that..." He rubbed some moisture from his eyes that he didn't realize was there. "...but thanks. Ah do-*sniff*-ah do 'preciate it."
He sniffed again, and laughed wanly. "Just lookit me; ah shouldn't be lettin' somethin' so silly as some stupid magic git t'me. Ah mean-" He winced, as if he'd just let slip a secret. "No...ah'm not gonna spoil the night with mah whinin'. Let's git goin' an' catch up with th' others."

"Whining? Oh hun, I assure you that's not whining," She winked and smiled. "But yes....let's not lollygag behind...but before that..." She suddenly gave him a quick bear hug as she reared opening her front legs for that hug. Sporting a friendly smile she scampered off forward.

"Oof!" The sneak attack bear hug barely gave him enough time (or presence of mind for that matter) to hug back. And then she was gone. The small unicorn stood dumbly in the hall for a second or two before dashing after her, sporting a grin of his own. "Wait fer me!"
Sandy knew in his heart why he put up with the teasing and the jokes at his expense; at the end of the day, Gear was a true friend, and he was lucky to know her.

Silverpine let the two have their moment, watching as he was from the front. He dropped back a little as Gear scampered to the front, enough to let him trot beside the unicorn. "Glad to see you two made up. You'll have to excuse Gear sometimes, she can come off as a little brash for those not used to her behaviour. Don't worry, in about a month's time you won't even notice her faux pas... like me." He gave him a little wink.
Icy meanwhile reached the lobby's doorway. She looked about for a stage, before finally settling on a makeshift cardboard box stacked to one side. Once the foals have all arrived, she gave a curt speech. "Well, let's get this over with. I'm sure some of you are familiar with what I'm about to sing."
With a deep breath, she began singing. Her icy voice was utterly unsuited for the nature of the song, though she did sing it to tune.

Well Gearstride sure had not heard this song before, but nonetheless she paid attention. She clopped her hooves together. "Well that wasn't so bad Icy."

"...good to know ah've got such a good role model to help me out." Sandy winked back.

Sandy applauded as well; it doesn't pay to be mean in a game of Truth or Dare. Plus, he'd heard worse.

Silverpine joined in applauding as well, although he did cringe at how she totally butchered the song. Still, it was a good effort, and a darn sight better than what he heard from drunken ponies.
Icy expected to be humiliated and laughed at for her performance. This... applause... was unexpected. Perhaps her initial impression of these foals... were wrong. Or maybe she was just too quick to judge. "I... thank you..." she said sincerely, bowing slightly, before trotting off the stage and taking her place next to Gearstride.
She poked a hoof at the xanadu mare.
"Your turn. Truth or dare?"

"Wha?...I should probably be last in this...so that everypony gets a turn to truth or dare a pony here.....oh well..................Dare....and make it a good not lame one!" She grinned.

"Oh? Not a lame one? Very well." Icy put a hoof to her chin in thought, before flashing a cryptic smile.
"I dare you to... go to the kitchen and eat extremely spicy... like a bowl of chilli."

"Gah.....but...I hate chili.....the texture's so gross....." The filly pouted making a face.
"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine....though I'd be surprised if there was even food left in the fridge," Gearstride sighed ant trudged into the kitchen. For convenience sake...there was indeed a bowl of chili, nice and cold, even grosser. Blargh. Ick.
But the filly was tough, or at least acted so. She jutted out her lower pony lip in grim determination, ate the spicy bowl of chili, and blanched as her face turned red.
"Gyah.....water....stat............" She exaggerated, gasping for air. Oh stop being so dramatic Gear, you'll be fine.

Gear's natural hamminess and over-exaggeration flew right over Sandy's head. He rushed to the kitchen and fetched a cup of water for the suffering filly. Only the perceived seriousness of the request keeping him from laughing at how ridiculous she looked with her face all red and steam shooting out her ears, rule of funny and all that.

"Thanks Sandy," She gulped down the water....somewhat lessening the burn, milk probably would have been better but Gear was not thinking straight at the moment. She coughed a bit with an exaggerated wheeze complete with her pounding her chest with her hoof.
She then glanced at Silverpine and slyly grinned. Opportunity for an excuse to pinch pony kisses.
"Oh babe....." She went over to him and draped herself over his back. "I....must...have sweet kisses to make my mouth all better. Don't argue the logic behind it....just do it....swoon."

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 4
Heartflight frowned as Gear ate the hot chili. She herself liked hot foods, but knew they could cause some ponies to ... suffer. She dashed over to the freezer and grabbed out an ice cream bar, then another for herself.
"Hey Gear!" he tossed the xanadu filly one of the ice cream bars. "Eat this, it'll make you feel better."
Fun fact: Ice cream combines the two best reliefs for a burning mouth, milk and coldness, into one convenient package, a fact the young filly had found out after much ... experimentation.

"Mmm, thamks," She somehow caught in her mouth by chance when she turned her head to heed Heartflight. "Ooo..c-cold.." Her teeth chattered.
"A-also...y-your t-t-turn...t-truth or dare?"

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 4
Heartflight thought for a moment, but it really wasn't much of a choice. She was a real coward for dares, though she did enjoy ones that worked in her favor.
"Truth," she said.

"Alright....have you ever told an adult a white lie to cover something up?" Gear didn't let anypony off easy with 'truths'.

(I assume this was sometime before she ate the ice cream.)
"Wha... are you-" One look at her pleading face convinced Silverpine it was best not to argue. "Fine, fine," he said, pulling her close and giving her a kiss on her burning lips.
"Impressive, I applaud you," Icy said, smirking at the xanadu filly's antics.

(Indeed)
"Mmm.......delicious, so sweet to me you are," She hugged him from behind remaining draped over his back. She THEN caught the ice cream, ate it, then asked Heartflight the 'truth' question, still remaining on her colt friend.

Technicalities my flank. That wasn't part of your question, so she doesn't have to answer it if she doesn't want. If it's part of the package deal, that should have been explained beforehoof. Mystic comments.

"Well I'm trying to retcon it....I meant to include 'and if so what was it?'.....I couldn't help that I forgot, what with my burning mouth which was then occupied with kisses and icecream....I was...........distracted," The filly pulled out an excuse out her flank, though she did really believe her own words.

"Sorry Gear, but Mystic's right. You've been outfoxed..." Sliverpine said, caressing her neck fondly.

"Oh phooey.....and you're supposed to take my side....I'd deny you kisses and affection if I were some other pony...but I'm me....and doing so would only affect me more, Oh woe...." She dramatically sighed, though she did take comfort in his caress, it made her smile a bit.
"Well...I guess you're up 'fer being truthed or dared babe since yer last and all," She still was draped across his back.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 4
Heartflight just nodded. She was not going to say at she had lied about, she couldn't. She didn't want the to think differently of her because ... well, whatever.
"Alright, truth or dare?"

"Aw, Gear, you know I'm the stickler for rules and whatnot.." Sliverpine said, now stroking her off-green coat.
On Heartflight's question, "Dare," Sliverpine answered confidently, thumping his chest with a hoof.
"I think you might regret that..." Icy commented.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 4
Heartflight thought for a moment, trying to come up with a good dare. She levitaed a book out of her bag and flipped through it before putting it away. If one was quick and sharp of eye, one might notice the title read "101 Fun Foal Games for a Rainy Day".
"Alright," she finally said. "I dare you to kiss the first pony who walks through that door, colt or filly." She gestured to the front door of the Civic Center, where ponies came through to check in.

Umm, Heart, you should choose something else. It looks like Silverpine has a girlfriend, so that seems a little...excessively mean. Mystic says pleading to her friend.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 4
"Is it?" Heartflight asked, levitating the book out of her bag to read it again. She stared at it for a good period of time. "I suppose ... okay then. Silverpine, I dare you to, um ... bark like a dog?"
