“And I kicked the ball and it went ALL THE WAY to the other side of the field! DID YOU SEE IT!? Can you say EPIC?!?!”
Blitz rolled his eyes, despite Rainbow being drenched in rain water, she sure can brag, “You don’t need to show off Rainbow, I can make a field goal, simple,”
“But it was AWESOME!”
“... It didn’t even make it into the goal, I defended it,”
“But still,”
Blitz sighed and peered over the glass double doors to see the storm still raging strong. Spitfire had changed out of her blue and yellow soccer uniform and into a white singlet with golden swirls of fire imprinted on it, yellow shorts and a white leather jacket. (They are in a gym so of course there will be changing rooms)
Blitz had also changed out of his soccer uniform into a blue shirt and black jeans.
Rarity, being… Rarity, of course had spare clothes for herself in her back pack. Having finally fixed her hair after half an hour of fussing and whining (Or complaining?) she was now rummaging through her bag once again for suitable clothes for a shivering and cold Rainbow.
“Here you go!” She cheered, handing Rainbow a small pile of clothes, “Go put it on now!”
Rainbow sighed and trudged to the changing rooms.
She came back out donning a cyan strapless top, white skorts (Nope, not a spelling mistake, cross between skirt and shorts, ask Uncle Google,) and a glare that would burn through metal.
“This is supposed to keep me warm? Oh, and I’m not wearing this. Or that,” She pointed to the white pop-scrunch heels on her feet and the golden chain necklace that dangled from her finger.
“But of course you are!” Rarity claimed, taking the necklace and tying it loosely around Rainbow’s neck, “Perfect!”
“Rarity, I don’t think she can even stand in those shoes, let alone walk!” Spitfire scoffed. Rarity blinked in realisation and pulled out a pair of white and blue sneaker boots. “Better now?”
Rainbow rolled her eyes and pulled on the garment, “Better than nothing,”
Noticing Blitz fiddling with his phone, the three girls made their way to him, “Got a signal yet?” Spitfire asked,
“Nope… The storm is messing up my phone... “
“Oh! You wanted to call someone?” Rarity exclaimed,
“Yeees..?”
“No need! I got a driver to wait for me while the tryouts were commencing! It was drizzling so I simply cannot walk home!”The athletes gaped as Rarity giggled in amusement.
“YOU HAD A DRIVER THIS WHOLE TIME?!”
“...”
“...’
“Yes?”
Rainbow sighed. Blitz sighed. Spitfire facepalmed.
Rarity once again took out her umbrella as the athletes packed up their things they had strewn across the gym floor. “It should be outside, come,”
The four stepped out into the freezing cold and sprinted for the sleek black car parked outside the gym. Rainbow also realised that Rarity was possibly the only human being that could actually run in heels.
“I dibs front seat!” Spitfire claimed, climbing in. Rarity slipped into the back seat, glad to be out of the rain. Rainbow looked at Blitz, “You want the middle seat?”
“Oh no, Rainbow, you sit here! I shall not be seated next to him,” Rarity instructed, her hostility towards Blitz returning. Shrugging, Rainbow did as she was told and swung her self into the car, Blitz followed, taking his place next to her.
Spitfire’s house soon came into view, the car slowed and the door opened then slammed shut “Bye guys, thanks again for the ride Rarity!” Spitfire waved before sprinting for her front door.
Blitz struggled to get comfortable again, only for Rainbow’s sleeping head to roll off Rarity’s shoulder onto his.
Well… This is awkward…
Blitz poked Rainbow’s cheek to wake her. She shivered and opened her eyes, then jolted up and accidentally elbowed Rarity in the ribs.
“Sorry!”
“... Ouch”
“Is the storm over?”
“Not likely to stop until tomorrow, darling,”
“I need to talk to Twilight about something, can you take me?”
“Of course, let us drop off Blitz first, he doesn’t need to be here,”
Rainbow gave a confused stare then shrugged. “Okay,”
The car soon drove up to a beautiful white house that seemed to glow in the rain.
“Ohmigosh! That is AWESOME! You live here?!” Rainbow enthused.
“Hehe, my grandad designed it, he’s an architect,” Blitz boasted,
“Can I come over somet-”
“Yes yes, Rainbow, let Blitz take his leave now,” Rarity interrupted,
Blitz waved goodbye and opened the car door, letting the himself out the vehicle. Rarity narrowed her eyes when a tall girl emerged from the red car parked in front of them, Blitz greeted her and the two walked into his home.
“What was that about?” Rainbow asked when the door slammed shut.
“... Nothing… It’s nothing, sweetie”
“Okay then?”
“To Golden Oaks Library please, sir,” Rarity addressed the driver politely, who nodded and revved the engine.
Why does Rarity hate Blitz… Meh. I’m cold. And this necklace hurts. And why are we going to a library?
A deep voice interrupted her thoughts, “Golden Oaks Library, should I wait out here?”
“Yes please, thank you,” Rarity smiled, daintily removing her faithful umbrella from her bag, “Come on Rainbow, you said you wanted to talk to Twilight?”
Rainbow nodded and stepped out into the rain, the regret of borrowing Rarity’s clothes returning as the cold merciless rain stung her skin.
Toughen up, you’ve played in weather worst than this!
Rainbow looked up at the Library, it was designed to look like a huge oak tree, it was a pretty amazing sight, really.
“This is Twilight’s home!”Rarity introduced dramatically,
“She lives in a library.” Rainbow deadpanned,
“I was sure you would expect something like this,”
Rainbow sighed, “True,”
“Come then, I don’t want to be in this rain longer than I have to,” Rarity said, hopping up the stone steps and pushing open the glass doors. Rainbow entered, warmth instantly wrapped her in it’s clutches, she sighed happily.
“Over here Rainbow!” She looked over to Rarity who was making her way to the check-out where a woman with white and violet streaked hair was sitting.
“Hello Mrs. Sparkle!” Rarity greeted warmly,
The lady looked and a smile spread across her face, “Rarity! Here for Twilight? And who is this young woman here?”
“This is Rainbow, she is new here,”
“Hi Mrs. Sparkle,” Rainbow waved in greeting,
“Don’t be so formal, call me Velvet! Twilight is upstairs, I’ll get you something to munch on in a few, enjoy yourselves!” Velvet stood up and gestured the girls to follow, she opened a door with ‘Staff Only’ marked on it and waited for them to enter.
Rarity thanked her and pulled Rainbow into the room, closing the entrance. The room was small and dimly lit, it led to a smooth staircase of dark wood. “Twilight and her family live on top of the library, this leads to their home,”
Nodding in understanding, Rainbow hopped up the steps behind Rarity. The staircase led to a door which opened up into what looked like a living room “Oh Twilight! Are you here?”
“Rarity?!” A small male voice called out, a boy about ten, eleven years old, skidded into the room with a lovestruck look to his face. His hair was spiky and green, lime eyes glittered as they fixed themselves upon Rarity’s smiling face.
“Hi…” He said dreamily, not even bothering to ask who the vibrant-haired stranger was doing in his home.
“Spike! How are you, darling?”
“Great…”
“Ahem, I still exist,” Rainbow glared, slightly annoyed.
“Oh yes, how rude of me, this is Spike, Twilight’s adopted brother!”
“Spike? Is someone there?” A new voice joined the conversation.
“Yep! Rarity and her friend is here!” Spike answered back, not once taking his emerald gaze off Rarity.
Twilight appeared at the doorway, “Hey guys! What are you doing here?... And what are you wearing?!”
“Oh. This. I got wet in the storm. And Rarity happened,” Rainbow complained, tugging at the strapless top.
“Oh. It looks uncomfortable.”
“It is.”
“And cold,”
“You don’t say,”
“Nonsense! It suits you very well!” Rarity claimed, ruffling Rainbow’s hair,
Twilight rolled her eyes, “What are you doing here anyway?”
“Homework. Help please.” Rainbow said, pulling a folder of paper out of her backpack.
“Oh yes, I promised to help you, didn’t I? Lets go then,” Twilight turned to go back to her room, “Spike? Can you get us something to eat?”
“Umm… Ok…” Spike replied half-heartedly.
“I’ll come with,” Rarity reassured, dragging a glowering Spike into the kitchen.
Rainbow followed Twilight into the hallway. The walls was adorned with family photos and framed test results. The two soon reached Twilight’s bedroom, dark pink stripes ran across the dusky purple walls, a neatly made midnight blue bed was situated in the corner of the room.
She walked over to the desk, amazed by the amount of essays and papers laid on top of it, “This is all homework?”
“No, heh, not all, most are just… Checklists,”
“That’s a lot of check-”
“Checklists for checklists…. For checklists,” Twilight cut Rainbow off with a sheepish laugh.
“...”
“...”
“Stop being quiet,”
“What?”
“So whats up with Spike and Rarity?” Rainbow questioned, wringing out her hair so that a few drops of rain water dripped onto the plush lilac carpet.
“Pardon?”
“Does Spike like Rarity or something?”
“Well… Don’t tell anyone this… Ye-” Twilight was interrupted by a ringtone, she picked up her phone and answered it, “Hello?”
“FOREVEEEERR” A voice on the other side of the line drawled. Twilight winced. “Sorry Pinkie,” she apologized, then ended the call. “Umm… Spike doesn’t like Rarity! Not one bit! Hehehe…. Yea”
Rainbow raised an eyebrow. Twilight giggled nervously. “Umm… So let me finish these first… Then I can help you with that work,”
“Fine by me,” She shrugged, pulling out Tank.
“You brought a pet to school?”
“Yep,”
“Thats against the rules!”
“... So?”
The bookworm sighed, then sat down into her chair and picked up a pen. Dash watched her friend work while letting Tank clamber over her fingers. “I was meaning to ask, why is Rarity so weird to Blitz?,”
“B-Blitz?” Twilight blushed, dropping her pen. “You are his f-friend?”
“Yeaaa…?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow and sat up, eager to hear what Twilight has to say.
Te dark haired girl spun around in her chair and slid onto the ground, facing her friend with a bright blush painted on her face “Well… Hehe… You see...”
