//------------------------------// // Prologue & Chapter 1: Dating a Flight Schooler // Story: (Scott Pilgrim V1) Rainbow Dash's Precious Little Life // by Magicolt808 //------------------------------// In the wonderful world of Equestria: “Rainbow Dash is dating a high schooler!?!” Rarity exclaimed. “Really? Is she hot?” Applejack butted in. Rarity laughed, “How old are you now darling? Like 28?” Rainbow Dash poured a cup of coffee “I’m not playing your little games fillies.” Rarity and Applejack looked at each other. Rarity went on, “So you’ve been out of highschool for like 13 years and-” Dash cut her off. “I’m 23! 23!” “An’ yer dating a flight school gurl? Not bad, not bad at’all.” Applejack said, eyeing the toast on the counter. “Dating a- come on, what does that even mean?” said Rarity. “Yeah...like, did you guys do it yet?” asked Flutters shyly. Rainbow dash took a sip or her coffee, “Well we sorta fly around, and she tells me how yearbook club went, and about her friends, and you know...drama...” Applejack picked up a slice of toast “Yeah. Okay. Have ya even kissed her?” “We almost held hooves once but then she got embarrassed.” said Dash. Rarity cut a apple slice, “Well don’t you seem as pleased as Berry Punch?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Rainbow said sarcastically. “So what’s her name?” asked Applejack, eating her toast. “Scootaloo... She’s a pegasus too!” Flutters looked up. “That’s amazing. So where’d you meet her anyways?” “I believe I mentioned flight school.” said Rainbow, proudly. Flight School, a few nights ago: “Caramel, nice boy, you’ll like him” said Scoot’s mom, while picking her up from school. “Mom, I’m seriously not interested at all.” Scootaloo said, annoyed. Scootaloo’s mom continued, “You are 17 years old. It’s time to get interested in a boy!” “Mom!” Scootaloo yelled, accidentally dropping her books on the floor. Scootaloo mumbled as she picked up her books. “Hey...” a voice said. Scootaloo looked up. “Don’t worry about it.” (RAINBOW DASH - 23 YEARS OLD - RATING: AWESOME) ----+---- “And that’s how we met.” said a triumphant Rainbow Dash. “Why...Ya met her at school? With her mom?” asked Applejack surprised. Rarity looked confused. “Is that seriously the end of that story?” “Yep.” said Dash. Chapter one: Dating a Flight Schooler Rainbow Dash walked into her house. “Just so I tell you before you hear some dirty lies from someone else; yes, I am dating a 17 year old.” “Is he cute?” asked Derpy jokingly. (DERPY HOOVES - ROOMMATE - 25 YEARS OLD - RATING: 7.5 / 10) “Ha ha ha ha ha,” Dash mocked, “very funny.” Derpy looked at the mattress on the floor, “Does this mean we have to stop sleeping together?” Rainbow looked at her, “Do you see another bed in here?” Derpy looked around, noticing for the first almost everything in their house, she had bought. “You’re totally my bitch forever Dash.” THE NEXT DAY OR SOMETHING: Dash and Scootaloo walked up to Rarity’s boutique. “You have to promise to be good.” “I’ll be good. Am I normally not--” said Scoots weakly. Dash looked at her, “Promise to be good.” “Yes, I’ll be so good.” said Scootaloo, just as Applejack answered the door. ‘What the hell are ya makin’ this poor filly say Dash?” she asked. “Oh hey! This is Scootaloo. Can we come in now? It’s cold. Scoots, This is Applejack. She’s The Talent.” Applejack opened up the door wider. “Yeah come on in. Nice ta meet ya.” “She made me promise to be good!” Scootaloo said to Applejack on the way in. “She may have been kiddin’. Are ya normally bad?” “I thought I was okay.” said Scootaloo looking down. “Wow”, she said looking at the instruments that lined the room. Dash walked past Rarity and picked up her bass, “Hey Rarity. This is Scoots.” “Hi. Sorry, what was your name?” said Scootaloo, walking over to the couch. “Rarity...” Scoots looked her set, “And you play the drums?” “...yes...” “That’s so awesome!” she yelled. “Hey, dude. Scoots, this is Flutters.” said Dash, strapping on the guitar. Scootaloo sat down next to Flutters. “Fluttershy” she said, introducing herself. “What do you play?” asked Scootaloo. “Umm...nothing. I just live here.” she said quietly. Scootaloo looked back toward Dash, “Oh.” “Okay, let’s start with Zap Apple Explosion” said Dash. “That’s not the actual name of the song” said Applejack to Scootaloo. Rarity picked up her drumsticks and yelled, “We are Sonic Rainb00m! One-two-three-four!” As the band jammed their hearts out, Scootaloo watched in silent amazement. After they finished, Applejack looked at Rarity. “That was way too fast.” “Oh boo-hoo.” she laughed. Applejack looked at Dash, “Wanna play it again?” “Yeah, we’ll play it again.” said Dash, strumming away. When they had finished practice for the day, Rainbow decided to fly Scootaloo to her house. “I can’t even...wow...wow. You guys are so amazing, sooooo amazing. Sonic Rainb00m, wow.” said Scootaloo, amazed at their performance. “I’ll, uh...come by and see you after school tomorrow okay?” said Dash. AFTERWARDS: The ponies were chilling upstairs in Rarity’s room. “She seems nice.” said Applejack. “You really think so?” asked Dash. Applejack nodded, “I could go for a flight school girlfriend.” “I highly recommend it.” said Rainbow Dash. Rarity looked up at them. “Dash, are you evil or are you really happy?” Dash looked at her. “What? Like do I have ulterior motives or something. Are you asking me if I’m a....user?” Rarity thought for a second, “Yeah, ok.” Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at each other. “I’m offended” Rarity. “Wounded even?” asked Applejack. “Hurt! Rarity.” Dash said, pouting. Rarity rolled her eyes. ‘Nevermind ok?” BACK AT DASH’S HOUSE: *Ringgggggg, Ringggggg* “Hello?” said Dash, waking up from her peaceful sleep to answer the phone. “Dash did I wake you up? It’s 12:30.” (GILDA GRIFFIN - 19 YEARS OLD - YOUNGER SISTER - RATING: T FOR TEEN) “No, I’ve totally been awake for several hours” Rainbow said sarcastically. “What’s this I hear about you dating a 16 year old?!?!” yelled Gilda. Rainbow Dash jumped out of bed surprised “She’s 17! And how did you know!” “Derpy told me!” Gilda said. “THAT GOSSIPY BITCH!!!” Dash yelled. “Yeah, I called you yesterday, but you were at band practice or something, anyways, scandal!!!” Gilda went on. “Whatever!” said Rainbow, annoyed. “Don’t whatever me!” Gilda yelled, “Who is this mysterious mare?” Rainbow laid back down, “Her name’s Scoots, Scootaloo.” “Is she a pegasus?” Dash stayed quiet, “She totally is!!! Wait till mom hears about this!” said Gilda. Rainbow rolled over, “Moms in Germaney! I’m not scared!” “A 17 year old flight school girl...you’re ridiculous Dashie.” Dash rubbed her head, “She’s last in her class too...” “So she can hardly fly!” said Gilda, surprised. “Yeah...the whole deal” Rainbow answer tiredly. “Oh my god, you two haven't” said Gilda quietly. “No, no, no, god no. We haven't even held hooves, I think she hugged me once” Dash glanced around the room. Gilda sounded concerned, “Uhm, Dashie, why are you doing this?” “I... I don’t know, it’s nice, it’s just simple, you know?” sad Dash quietly. Gilda choose her words carefully, “It’s been over a year since you broke up with-” “Yeah, Yeah” said Dash, her eyes closed. Gilda’s voice was stern “So are you legitimately moving on, or are you just being insane? Dash took a while to answer, “I let you know when I find out okay...?” CLOUDSDALE: “I don’t want to be here at all” said Derpy. “Nah, dude, come on. It’s just like that movie, Phoenix Spotting” said Dash. Derpy face hooved, “Okay first of all, in Phoenix Spotting, remember how he was freaking out and worried? That’s because he knew it was sick and wrong and illegal. Second, remember how she was coercing him into dating her?” Rainbow smiled, “Nah it’s not like that at all” “You just said it was like that” yelled Derpy. “Okay maybe I didn’t watch that movie carefully” Dash laughed. “We’re almost there, I’m not going there with you” said Derpy. Dash looked up at her, “No, it’s cool, this school has boys too.” Derpy looked away, “I hate you.” “Alright, let’s wait right here” said Dash. Tons of fillies and colts flooded out of the school as the bell rang. “Dash!” said Scootaloo’s voice from the distance as she glided over to them. “Hey!” she said. “Hey!, this is my cool, straight roommate, Derpy Hooves” Dash pointed at Derpy. “Oh hi! I’m Scootaloo” she said, “Do you want to know who in my class is straight?” Derpy smiled, “Yes, does he wear glasses?” “Derps you go now. Leave. Begone” said Dash, pointing off into the distance. Derpy looked shocked, “Aww what? This sucks! You suck!” Scootaloo looked at Derpy, “I promise I’ll give you the inside scoop on all the cute colts next time I see you!” she said. Derpy nudged Scootaloo jokingly, “You’re too good for her” she said. Scootaloo giggled, “Derpy is pretty funny. Can we get some pizza I’m starving!” Dash followed behind her, “Yeah haha...funny” They walked along the sidewalk to the pizza place, then going store to store talking. Scootaloo told Dash about her day. “So Twist is into this unicorn, Silver Spoon, but everyone thinks Silver Spoon has a crush on Snails! Plus Silver is kind of snobby.” Dash interrupted, “But I thought Snips and Twist had a mutual liking-each-other thing going?” Scoots stopped, “Yeah, well uhm, Twist is too, ahh, socially refined, to do anything about it”. “She’s shy?” Dash asked. “I guess so” said Scootaloo. Dash turned a corner, “Your friends crack me up, want to go to Good Will?” The two of them walked around the store, checking out the cheap used clothes. “But yeah, yearbook was basically fun today. It’s weird how it’s like half mares this year.” Scootaloo said, holding a white vest. “I don’t think I’ve ever been in here” she said, looking around. Rainbow Dash smiled, “Ah it ain't all that” she laughed. Scootaloo looked at a necklace, “Most of this stuff is bad, but not in a hilarious way” Dash agreed. “So your band...” Scootaloo said. “It’s more of Applejack’s thing” said Dash. Scootaloo looked at Rainbow, “Do you always refer to her by her full name?” “Who? Applejack? Yes” said Dash. “Whoever's band it is, I really like it” Scootaloo said, grinning. Dash said thank you, as Scoots continued. “I don’t really listen to that much music, I mean, I know some ponies who play like piano, or whatever, but you girls, rock!” Dash laughed, “I knew that I personally rocked, but I never suspected we rocked as a unit! Thank you Scoots.” Scootaloo picked up a light jacket, “Hmm this is actually pretty good, too bad it’s winter...” she said. “Hey! Springs around the corner! Go try it on!” said Dash. Scootaloo looked away, “No...no I mean, it’s not like I’d buy it...” The two mares walked out of the store and continued down the road. “What I meant to say was” Scootaloo rambled on “I’ve never gone out with somepony so talented” she said. “Have you gone out with a lot of ponies?” said Dash. Scootaloo thought, “Well...no...” “Yeah, so whatever, man” Dash laughed. Scootaloo looked down, “I’ve never even kissed a colt” Dash looked her, “Neither have I” “Good to know” said Scoots. Minutes passed as they continued walking and talking. “Where are we going now? Your secret lair? said Scootaloo. “My secret lair is one of those no girlfriends allowed type of things, so no. We’re going to my house that I lived in when I went to flight school.” Dash said. “Do you parents still live there?” said Scootaloo. Rainbow sighed, “No they...sold it.” The two ponies looked at the rainbow house. “So this is it, where it all happened” Dash said, looking at the house. “It’s so pretty” Scootaloo said. Dash started walking away, “Yeah, so I’ll walk you your house okay?” ----+---- That night, Rainbow Dash hardly got any sleep. In her dream, she was walking through the desert, exhausted and afraid. “Oh...” she said to herself. “Oh god...I’m so alone...Oh god so alone.” A mare on roller blades rode past her through the sand. “Oh god I’m so al-” The mare cut of Dash. “Oh shut up. You’re not alone, you’re just having some idiotic dream” The purple unicorn said. Rainbow’s last words before she awoke were “Can we make out then?” as the unicorn rode off.
