//------------------------------// // The Loser // Story: The Flyer and the Filly *EDITED* // by Sparkle Dust //------------------------------// "But...how could this happen?Why?"Rainbow Dash was in shock.She lost to a 13-year-old filly named Stardust Clover. "Oh,don't be silly.At least you tried.After all,these lessons may help you."Twilight Sparkle was trying to be reassuring. But Rainbow was hyperventilating.Well,she thought so.She sure felt like it.She was having those pains again.But now,something was crawling up her throat.It felt so,anyway. Rainbow Dash knelt down and vomited.All the students flew back,although Scootaloo had a pained,grossed out,and a totally wicked expression on her face.Twilight Sparkle was leading the fillies and colts to the side of the room.Or rather,cloud. "Okay,okay,fly over here.Derpy,take them to lunch,and Scootaloo,Stardust,let's check on Rainbow Dash."Twilight went back to the cloud,and Derpy took the fillies and colts to lunch,even though they had lost their appetites. "R-Rainbow Dash?Are you OK?"Scootaloo asked gently. Rainbow Dash covered her face with her hooves."No.I never will.I lost to a...filly."she gagged. "Do you want me to just sent the ponies home for the day?We can always practice tomorrow...we can forget this even happened..."Twilight trailed off. Rainbow Dash used all of her strength to pull herself up to look at the three ponies. "No,I will always remember this day,as the DAY I LOST TO A FLIPPING FILLY!!!!!Sure,you can forget it,brush it off like it never happened!But I will always,and I mean ALWAYS remember this DAY!!The day I hyperventilated AND puked in front of all those ponies!!Spitfire's gonna be here soon.And,don't you show off,little old Stardust Clover!!I will win next time,I swear to Equestria in the name of Celestia,I WILL win!I always win!Don't judge me!!I will-"she stopped to vomit again"-I WILL WIN!!I will work so hard,because you are just a midget!Yeah,that's right!A MIDGET!!!And you won because of luck!Dumb old LUCK!!I will get-"Rainbow was cut off. "No,you won't.Rainbow Dash,you have been released of your duties.I have found a new teacher for these classes,as based on what I have seen,you are not worthy.There is vomit on the floor,and you have not cleaned it up.This young filly is crying from the hurtful things you have said.Now GO!"Spitfire was mad. "But-" "GO!!!NOW!!!" Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight.She looked away.So did Scootaloo,and the rest of the fillies and colts. "Why,Rainbow?You are not like this.I don't either."Scootaloo said while glancing back with a sorrowful look. Rainbow Dash flew off.Rainbow flew down when she had an idea.To kill Spitfire and Stardust Clover.Her hair went poofy,then went to its normal shape when she realized her idea was crazy. "Fluttershy?"She needed some comfort. "What do you want?"Fluttershy must have heard about what happened. "Fluttershy,come on.You know I was just crazy from all the vomit and confusion.I delirious when I'm sick.Vomit sick,anyways.Please?Just...help me..."Rainbow teared up. Fluttershy looked back and realized Rainbow Dash's pain. "Okay,I believe you.But,why?I mean,Rainbow,what is with you?Just,apologize to the filly.Stardust is a sweet filly,once you get to know her." "How do you know?"Rainbow was curious. Fluttershy was reluctant to speak,"You see,she is my sister."
