Two Days, It can go by fast when you don't want it to, yet, for Rainbow Dash, it was quite the opposite. She couldn't wait until she would get to strut her stuff down on the green. It wasn't because she loved golf though, she just craved the feeling of winning. The adrenalin, the pride, the praise, all rolled into one indescribable moment of success. It was better than anything you could buy from the back of a smoke shop, and that's why she competed in every competition Ponyville had to offer. From simple run-a-thons, to major national events (eg best flyer's competition), she was there. Though she did recall the one time she bet she could read more books than Twilight in a day… never again.
Dash and Fluttershy walked together toward the library, and as they did so, they talked about the events that were soon to ensue.
"So Fluttershy," Dash began." how ya feeling bout today?" The yellow pegasus looked up from her particularly fixed position in the road, and over to the mare next to her.
"Good, I guess. I'm just worried about messing up. What if I make a fool of my self, oh I'd just be ruined."
Rainbow snorted a laugh, "You won't be ruined Fluttershy, you're going as a guest of the princess. They wouldn't laugh even if you made it 1000 over."
Fluttershy nodded in response, but kept her worries secure. She knew she had to do her absolute best, not for the sake if winning, but to keep her from bawling at the slightest snicker. The animal lover didn't know why she was so afraid, nor did the weather patroller. It could have been her experiences in flight camp, or her disadvantages as a mostly ground bound pegasus. What was the point of her even having wings, she thought. Other than being able to reach high shelves and safely maneuver about her hometown of Cloudsdale, she could've been born an earth pony, and have been perfectly fine.
They reached the library a few minutes later, stopping only once to watch a family of ducks pass. The pair were greeted by Twilight with an abrupt nod and a quick " hello!". She was obviously busily preparing for the day ahead.
Dash looked at the skilled organization of the items prepared "Wow Twilight, I'd say you got this day planned out to a…" she paused to heighten the potential humor. "tee!" The Rainbow pony doubled over at her own wit, laughing and shaking her hooves in quick back and forth movements.
Fluttershy snickered at the joke, but quickly reeled back when she noticed Twilights annoyed expression. "Please Rainbow," The librarian sighed. "I'm trying to get everything ready. Oh, and Rarity made us our game attire." Twilight nodded over to the small stack of clothing on the desk in the back. Upon it, were three sets of clothing: A black, collared shirt with nothing but the monogrammed initials TS on the pocket, a small, blue and green plaid dress, and finally a white, tight fitting, but breathable work out uniform, with a small rainbow square in the top left corner (Think in the terms of Under Armor for ponies). " Quite applicable for our certain event, no?" Twilight asked, finishing up her list, and heading over to the desk were the two pegasi were already trying on their sportswear.
" It's lovely Twilight." Fluttershy agreed, looking over herself in the outfit.
" Not bad at all." Said Dash, feeling the smooth fabric of the tight clothes
Twilight nodded, and directed the pair over to the items she had been gathering before the two had arrived. "Now, on the course, there will be certain things your are requited to have, such as: ball marker, clubs all fourteen, golf bag, golf balls, golf shoes, tees, and a visor. All of which I have prepared for us." Twilight said with a smile. She loved being able to organize, and prepare, it was almost relaxing for her.
" Wow Twilight," Rainbow Dash said in awe of such a massive accumulation of neatness, and alphabetization. "Thats a lot of stuff for just one game."
" I don't know if I'll be able to carry all of it." Fluttershy gulped down the thought of how much all of the equipment must weigh.
" Oh don't worry Fluttershy." Twilight reassured her. " It's not as bad as you think." Her sentience was barely finished before a knock came rippling though the wooden door, and a voice accompanying it.
" Oh laaadiiiieeeees! it's time to go!" The three mares looked at each other in surprise, then with a consecutive nod, the three grabbed their things and headed out the door. They were greeted by a light brown earth pony, with a short black mane. He was dressed in a black collared shirt like Twilight's. His cutie mark, resembling a large silver trophy, with a golf ball next to it, and he wore a black visor with the words " Nokota " inscribed on the front. To his left, and his right were several mares drooling over him. Mostly tall, almost model type ponies, who seemed a ways away out of the professional's league, though, the pretty mares seemed quite pleased with being able to be in the presence of the golfer.
" You must be Mr. Chip Shot." Twilight said, giving a curt nod, and placed her things in the carriage that Chip had arrived in.
" No no Miss Twilight, leave it here, another will come to pick up your things. This carriage is for passengers only." He said, and helped Twi get her things back to her front door. The three ponies shuffled into the large vehicle, and watched as Chip got into it too, along with his harem of female companions. " So, girls," He started off, as the carriage began to move. " I glad you were able to come on such short notice, me and the princess had agreed that you and your friends would be the perfect threesome. Also, you ponies being half of the team that saved Equestria, I'm sure you'll bring in a crowd."
Rainbow Dash nodded and smiled, " It's nice to be here. I'm not much of a golfer myself, but I usually learn pretty fast. That's gotta count for something?"
" Of course Miss Dash," Chip Shot agreed. " But don't take it too seriously. You three just try your best, and the crowd will love you."
Fluttershy pulled back at the word, " C-Crowd?" She stuttered. The pegasus looked over at her friends and whispered, " You never said there would be a crowd. I thought maybe a dozen or so, but a crowd?"
" Calm down Fluttershy." Said Rainbow. " It's not that bad. Just remember what I said, nopony is going to laugh at you, and like Chip said too, were just here to have fun."
They arrived at the course after forty five minutes of complete silence. It wasn't just any silence either. It was a deathly silence; the calm before the storm. Especially for one, Fluttershy, who was sure of the storm. She knew what was coming, yet she stayed. She could've said she was sick, she could've said there was an emergency, but she stayed. How foolish of her it was, when she knew she would be humiliated beyond comprehension, how foolish. They arrived at a long, rectangular, two story, stone building, that just screamed high class. It had white pillars that held up the overhanging ceiling. The door, a large chocolate bar of wood. The three were in awe, yet, for the professional, he payed the slightest bit of attention to the massive feat of a building.
