Not So Smooth Sailings
Theta pushed with his legs as fast as he could to keep up with his orange enemy, and he slowly began to gain with her. He knew he couldn't catch up with her since he had to at least get to Ponyville before he had any idea where he was going, so he purposely didn't give it one hundred percent. Or at least that was his excuse for not being in first place during that time. After ten minutes of 'purposely losing', Theta soon saw Scootaloo nearing a pleasant little cottage on top of the hill and several white clouds, as well as one lumpy, orange cloud, floated above. Scootaloo slowed down when she saw how rough the road was allowing Theta those precious few seconds he needed to catch up with her.
"You cheated!" Theta said, kicking the ground as hard as he could to keep up with her.
"Not really. I mean, it was cheap, but it would have only been cheating if I actually pulled you off your board." Scootaloo chuckled as she began rising her scooter again.
"Yeah, well... I caught up with you." Theta said smugly, rolling by her side.
"Only because I let you." Scootaloo countered.
"Nuh-uh!" Theta denied as loudly as he could.
"Yeah-huh!" Scootaloo retorted with a smirk.
"I said nuh-uh!"
"And I said yeah-huh!"
"And I said I'm trying to sleep up here. Or I would have if I just remembered how to sleep-talk" The orange cloud Theta saw shouted. "Wait, what if I'm sleep-talking now?"
"What the..." Theta muttered.
"Don't worry about him, that's just Grif." Scootaloo sighed as Grif sat up on the cloud to look at the ones that woke him up.
"I was just having a nice and... very strange dream... and for some reason there were kittens and... tire irons? Well that's not a nice dream. Why was I dreaming of that?" Grif asked himself, worried. His stomach then growled and he stared at it. "And why does that make me hungry?"
"Because you're always hungry, Grif!" Scootaloo rolled her eyes as she grabbed onto a small tree and kicked off the ground, sending her spinning through the air.
"Good point." Grif shrugged, then sank back into the cloud and fell asleep half of a second later.
"Oh my." Fluttershy gasped as Scootaloo flew towards a steep hill. Scootaloo saw her reaction and smiled, then stomped her right hoof on the ground, using her speed to spin her ninety degrees to veer away from falling. "Scootaloo, please be careful."
"Don't worry about me, I'm the best scootsfilly in all of Pony- woah!" Scootaloo said shakily as she began riding over a rocky road, nearly making her lose her grip of the scooter which would make her spill.
As Scootaloo tried to regain control of her scooter, Theta shot past Fluttershy and squatted down on his skateboard to ride down the rock filled trail, making his center of mass closer to the ground so he could simply lean to turn while using the angle of the road to ride it without having to kick. Scootaloo glared at Theta and tightened her grip on the handles of her scooter to get her balance back. She glanced ahead of Theta and saw Rainbow Dash's house floating a small distance away.
"How's it going?" Theta asked idly while Scootaloo managed to catch up to him, all while he was keeping his eyes on the floating home ahead.
"Pretty good, you?" Scootaloo said, acting as if they weren't competing.
"Good, I guess." Theta shrugged indifferently. "How long do you think it will take us to get there?"
"Maybe a few minutes."
"Cool. So now we can decide what we are going to be calling the winner. I was thinking Grand Champion of the World."
"What kind of silly title is that?" Scootaloo shook her head. "No, winner will be crowned Grand Champion of the Universe and Everything!"
"What are you doing?" Fluttershy suddenly yelped as she ran after them, barely managing to match their speed. "Where are you going that you need to be going there this fast?"
"We're just having a race." Scootaloo sighed to try and relax the worrying pegasus.
"Oh." Fluttershy said quietly, then smiled as she looked at the small purple colt on the skateboard. "Scootaloo, who's your new friend?"
"Oh, right." Scootaloo said while the young stallion in question turned to look at Fluttershy. "This is a new friend in town, his name is-"
"-Eep!" Fluttershy yelped with surprise and came to a screeching halt when she realized she was trying to stop one of the fragments.
"You know her?" Scootaloo raised her brow, looking at the now relaxing Theta, but he shrugged innocently in response. "But seriously, where did you get your board?"
"A friend." Theta said, then glanced down as they reached the bottom of the hill. He put both of his right legs on the board and began bucking the ground with his left hooves to keep his speed.
Sensing the tone of Theta's voice, Scootaloo decided to focus on their activity and kicked the ground in synchronization with him. They continued kicking in silence, getting closer and closer to their next target, smiling satisfyingly as the sun rested comfortably behind the fluffy mansion. Five minutes later they were just a few seconds away from being underneath it.
"Giving up yet?" Scootaloo asked as she stomped faster to push forward.
"Nah, I'm good." Theta said, and blinked when a shadow flicked over him.
"Tucker, hurry up!" Rainbow Dash laughed as she soared through the sky, high above the two young ponies.
"Why are we doing this again?" Tucker asked, panting heavily.
"We need to see how fast you can clear the skies, duh." Rainbow Dash chuckled, punching him in the shoulder.
"Why can't I show you how fast I can make you c-" Tucker smirked, then stopped when he looked down to catch two curious glances. "-come to... a bar... with me?"
"What?" Rainbow Dash inquired dubiously, then followed his eyes to see Scootaloo on her scooter with a few beads of sweat on her face. "Oh, hey Scoots."
"Hey." Scootaloo grunted happily as Rainbow Dash flew down to talk to her.
"Watcha doing, kiddo?"
"Just having a race with my friend." Scootaloo said, looking at Theta out of the corner of her eye.
"By the looks of it he's giving you more of a challenge than you thought." Rainbow Dash smiled at Theta and he smiled back, sweat on his forehead.
"Yeah, I didn't think Theta would be able to ride as hard as me." Scootaloo laughed and Tucker was instantly by her side.
"Bo-"
"Don't." Rainbow Dash warned pointedly.
"Come on, I have to be able to say it sometimes." Tucker stressed.
"Say what sometimes?" Theta asked curiously.
"Never mind that. Where are you guys racing to?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying upside down with her hooves behind her head, silently bragging that she wasn't exerting herself.
"We're going to the library, but we started-"
"Cool, mind if I join?" Rainbow Dash asked, quickly switching her flight stance to her regular upright position. "Tucker doesn't like racing because he says he's out of practice in the endurance the department."
"I told you, I'll race you if we just-"
"Tucker."
"Then stop setting me up for it." Tucker mumbled. "You know I have a multiple track mind."
"You mean a one track mind." Rainbow Dash corrected him.
"No, I have several, they're just all going in the same direction." Tucker said thoughtfully.
"Right." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically, then looked back at Scootaloo. "So what do ya say?"
"Well, I don't know if-" Scootaloo coughed.
"Great! Three-two-one-GO!" Rainbow Dash hollered and flapped her wings once, propelling her forward.
Rainbow Dash's burst of speed sent dust and grass flying into the sky, blocking the other two's vision. They came to a screeching halt and closed their eyes while they waited for the area to settle, and once it did they looked at Rainbow Dash and saw her disappear from her sight within three seconds.
"We're not counting her, right?" Theta asked, looking at his racing buddy.
"Right." Scootaloo said as she readjusted her helmet.
"What's that?" Theta asked nervously, eyes misting over with apparent fear.
"What's-" Scootaloo began to turn, but caught onto his plan and turned back to him. "You tried to pull a fast one on me!"
"Hey, you did it too, so you can't blame me for trying." Theta chuckled as he kicked the ground to go forward.
"Heh, guess I can't." Scootaloo smirked, then went next to Theta and winked playfully. "See you at the library!"
"Hopefully before I finish a book!" Theta snorted and the pair zoomed towards Ponyville.

Was originally going to be:
1372842
Or better.
Thomas the Scrub.
Season 17!
i thought tucker was fast O.o
not rainbow dash fast but still fast.
1372822 XD //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Sweetie_happy.png
AND YOU WASTED THAT GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY?
For shame.
1372822 The orirganal one is more funny Darkwing. Sorry about the spelling.
You know, Ponyville had become a much more crowded place.
1372822
Are you drinking or just trying to play with words like Dr, Seuss?
The randomness! The craziness! The awesomeness! Who will win? And what will happen? Tune in next time to find out! (unless the author's evil and puts a PSA instead)
Scootalo is best cmc
1372822 lolwut
Funny chapter, specially Tucker
Hehehe, Tucker trying to act explicit in front of children. That takes balls
OH man have you guys seen Season 10 episode 17 of RVB yet? EPIC. the fans about to turn a dark shade of BROWN.
should be
1372822 I agree, the original line would have been much more funny. But funny chapter!
Theta's gonna win!
1373127 That episode was fucking EPIC!
1373175 Shock yeah it is. the truth about Tex, we get to SEE Allison herself (the REAL Tex who died, that the Tex we know (And see) was based on. according to the files Tex is looking at, Theta is the Alpha's Trust...and Sigma isn't just his creativity, he's also his ambition. Tex is the BETA AI
I did that for Spoiler reasons.
1373220 thank you for reminding me i forgot today... i mean yesterday was monday
1373245 Welcome.
1373252 i thought for certain the next ep would be a psa. kinda glad it's an episode :
pinkiehappy:
1373289 Nope, huzzah for us then, according to the wiki, this is the first episode of Red Vs Blue that uses LIVE ACTION. which is used when we see the Memory Flashes of Allison when Epsilon is being implanted into Washington. and according to the episode list of Season 10, there are 2 more episodes of Season 10 (lucky for you (and us) PSAs are NOT counted as episodes. on the wiki) but trust me my little Sweetie Belle, this episode, is AWESOME and according to the ending, the fan is about to be a VERY VERY VERY Dark shade of brown.
1372822 Bill Cosby approved of the original.

1372949 You brilliant bastard!
1373304 Just watched the episode in question and I have to say that you are wrong about one thing. The fan is not goin to turn brown because that would imply that the fan is going to survive the coming impact. Here is what is actually going to happen. The fan is going to break and those who are behind it are going to get a face full of shattered fan blades and fecal matter.
That ending! BURN!
1372872
he is but only for a short a mound of time
Maybe both Theta and Scoots will get their cutie marks!
Theta for skateboarding, and Scoots for..... scootering
Tucker get your dick out of the clouds! There are children present. NOT IN RAINBOW goddamit tucker.
1373675 hmm I agree completely. nice 'spin' on the s*** hits the fan meme.
But while I am a little sad that we apparently won't see Tex anymore in the Present Day segments, I always love it when Tex shows up in the past segments, because that's the original Tex. the same Tex we knew from back in Season 1-Season 5. I WOULD count Season 6 (Reconstruction) because that's where her AI form appears in the Meta at the end, but she doesn't appear before that point. I can't wait to see what happens over the next few weeks for the series. I mean seriously, given this episodes ending
Epsilon (Church): "I know where to find the Director."
Carolina: "What? how?"
Church: "I just Remembered....Everything."
well, like you said, that fans gonna be annihilated and anyone or anypony standing behind it are going to be brown from the fecal matter that hit the fan, and RED from being cut open at the same time and bleeding.
what if pinkie pie was downut!
and i'm Caboose
Tucker and Rainbow Dash makes the greatest couple. Of course, Theta is still best pony. Just Sayin'
