//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: This One Girl... // Story: (Scott Pilgrim V1) Rainbow Dash's Precious Little Life // by Magicolt808 //------------------------------// Chapter 3: This one girl... “Hey what’s up?” said Dash “Nothing.” said Twilight Sparkle, looking away. “I like your mane.” said Dash, awkwardly. Twilight blushed, “Thanks, I got it styled in Canterlot.” Dash smiled weakly, “It reminds me of something, but I can’t remember what. Umm... Am I dreaming?” Twilight looked at Dash skeptically. Dash blushed, “I’ll leave you alone forever now” walking away. “Thanks.” Twilight said. AND THEN DASH STALKED HER FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY: “Dude, I’m totally not dreaming!” said Dash to Fluttershy, after Twilight had left. she turned and looked at Rainbow, “Wha--?” “Dude she’s totally real!” said Dash running back into the heat of the party. Rainbow found Spike sitting on some stair steps. “What do you know about her?” said Dash to Spike, still thinking of Twi. “I think she’s from Canterlot, but I know she’s been here for at least a couple of weeks. I don’t know if she moved here or if she’s just visiting. Maybe you should ask Bon Bon and Lyra, I think I saw them talking to Sparkle earlier.” Rainbow Dash found the two ponies gossiping. “Hey, do you guys know Twilight Sparkle?” Dash asked. “Yeah. Diamond Tiara introduced me to her. Doesn’t she have the weirdest name?” said Bon Bon. “I know. It’s so Twilight; Breaking Dawn. And Sparkle like the vampire.” said Lyra. Anyways, I think she has a girlfriend Dash, so forget about it.” said Bon Bon. “She totally does,” Lyra laughed, “Some girl back in Canterlot.” After that, Dash went to go talk to Diamond Tiara and Applejack. “Hey Diamond, who invited Twilight Sparkle?” said Dash. “Me Dash...” said Diamond Tiara. “How do you know her? I thought she was from Canterlot? said Dash. Diamond squinted at Rainbow, “She just moved into town. She got this job delivering for Amazon.eq, and she kept coming into the donut shop, where I work...” “...And you made friends with her like you make friends with everypony.” said Dash rolling her eyes. “Pretty much,” said Diamond Tiara. “Didn’t you say she just got done with a pretty big break up?” said Applejack to Diamond. Tiara turned to Applejack “...Yes but I didn’t want Dash to know that Applejack!.” Applejack turned away from them, “Oh.” Dash smiled, “Did she really!?” “Dash! I forbid you to hit on Twilight! Even if you haven’t had a girlfriend in a year!” yelled Diamond Tiara. Applejack put her hoof around Dash. “Don’t worry. She’s going out with a flight schooler now. Her mourning period is now officially over.” she laughed to Tiara. “Ugh....Dash. She’s too good for you ok? Just leave it at that. And anyways, I’m not even sure if she did go through a big break up ok? She’s kinda vague about it. I had to piece it together intuitively. She just keeps mentioning some girl name Spitfire.” Dash smiled, “I don’t know what it is about that girl ,she just--” “Forget about it Dash!” yelled Diamond. LATER THAT EVENING: Dash was sleeping when Derpy burst through the door at three o’clock in the morning. “Guess who’s drunk?!” yelled Derpy. Dash rolled over, “I guess Derpy” she said tiredly. Derps laughed, “You guess right!” Derpy fell onto the bed, “So how’s Dashie tonight?” she asked. “I’m alright,” said Dash, rolling over, “I went to this party with Applejack and them, and...I...uhm...met this girl.” “Girl...ok.” said Derpy. Dash looked at Derpy. “I think I’ve been having recurring dreams about her. I saw her at the library, and...” “Library...Can I pretend we’re talking about a colt?” asked Derpy. Dash went on “So then I am at this party and, oh hey, there she is.” “...There he is...” Derpy whispered. “I... I think I’m in love but something is bothering me.” said Rainbow. “Oh yeah?” said Derpy sitting up. Dash sat up too, “It was her horn. She had this huge horn!” “What did it look like?” Derpy asked. Dash was really bothered by this “Well it just stuck right out of her forehead and it looked really uncomfortable!” “Not that I think you’re and idiot but can you draw me a picture?” Derpy said, handing Dash a pen and paper. Dash drew the purple unicorn’s horn and handed the paper back to Derpy. Derpy glanced at it. “This is how every horn looks Dash.” Derpy said. Dash went back to sleep. THE NEXT MORNING...OR TECHNICALLY AFTERNOON: “Guh!” said Dash, waking up and rubbing her head. Derpy’s voice came from the kitchen, “I’m making bacon. Are you hungover or anything?” “I don’t even drink...” said Dash, still tired. “Oh right.” said Derpy, “Well anyways...bacon.” “Bleh.” said Dash, shoving bacon into her mouth. While enjoying her breakfast, Dash turned to Derpy. “Hey, Amazon.eq is a online bookstore or whatever right?” “Yup.” said Derpy.” “What the website for that anyways?” Dash asked. Derpy thought, “Amazon....dot eq?” “Oh thanks!” said Dash, hopping on the computer. “Ok, what exactly are you planning to do on this website you know absolutely nothing about? are you struck with the sudden urge to read?” Derps laughed. “I have to order something cool, there’s this--” Dash stopped. (Awkward silence) “Yes...?” said Derpy. “Oh sorry, I got distracted by the internet. I’m ordering a few CD’s. Is this your right credit card info on here?” Dash asked. Derpy facehooved. “You’ve got mail!” said the computer. “Dude, the computer claims I have mail!” Dash exclaimed. Whatever.” said Derpy. “Dude, now I’m reading it!...Dear Miss Rainbow Dash. It has come to my attention that we will be fighting soon. My name is Vinyl Scratch and I’m a...hmm, this is...” “What?” said Derpy “This is!!!’ Dash said. “WHAT IS IT?!” yelled Derpy. “It’s boring! Delete.” *click* Dash got up and then sat in front of the door. Derpy looked up from her paper, “Dash...are you waiting for that thing you just ordered?” “No,” said Dash. “...Maybe.” *DING DONG* “Woo!,” said Dash, answering the door. “What’s up?” said Scootaloo, surprising Dash. “Oh...hey.” said Dash disappointedly. Scootaloo lunged at Rainbow. “Attack hug! We were gonna hang out today remember? Oh hi Derpy!” Derpy waved. Dash closed her eyes, “How could I possibly forget,” she said. HANGING WITH SCOOTS: Scootaloo never shutup the whole time. “Flight school is getting so boring, I can’t believe the music they play while we study!” “That’s sucky” Dash said, half heartedly. Scootaloo didn’t even notice, “Twist broke up with Snips and now she’s all into Snails, but Silver Spoon claims that she has dibs on Snails. I swear if they would just make up their minds. “I tell ya,” said Dash. “My mom won’t stop with the endless parade of Pegasi from respectable families.” said Scootaloo, trying on a sweater. “This is cute isn't it?” “Yeah... it’s ah cute.” said Dash, not paying attention. “So your sister goes to U of T? What are your parents doing in Germaney? asked Scoots. Dash looked around, “I don’t know, gallivanting around, spending bits on things.” Scootaloo stopped “Well I guess, I’ll walk home myself. You live the opposite way anyways.” “You sure?” said Rainbow. Scootaloo nodded her head, “Yeah, it’s fine!” “Yeah okay...well” Dash said awkwardly. Dash hugged Scootaloo. Caught off guard, Scootaloo leaned into Dash, kissing her passionately, but Dash pulled away quickly. “Uhm...Yeah so I’ll see you at band practice tomorrow Scoots!” yelled Dash, zooming off. BACK AT HOME: “Did my CD’s come?” said Dash to Derpy. Derpy looked at Dash, “Dude I hate to break this to you but it’s the weekend. Nothing ships out until Monday at the earliest and even then, that seems unrealistic seeing that you just ordered your package this afternoon.” “NOOOOOO” said Dash, she fell onto the bed. “Why are you so damn eager about this anyways?” asked Derpy. Dash pulled the covers over her, “I can’t answer that right now, I’m going to bed for the next 16 hours.” SUNDAY EVENING BAND PRACTICE: “So, I got us a show.” said Applejack. “Oh yeah?” said Dash. “In the industry, we call them gigs Applejack.” said Rarity. “OOOOHHH MAHHHH GOSH WHEN!?!?!” Screamed Scootaloo. “It’s at Sugar Cube Corner, wednesday.” said Applejack, “This guy at work was like, ‘ Hey, AJ know anyone in a band?’ and I was like--” Rarity cut her off. “Great story man.” “Wednesday night? I’m... I’m gonna have to pull some major trick to get out of the house for this.” Scootaloo said. Dash put her hoof around her, “Don’t sweat it if you can’t make it. We totally kinda suck. We’re not worth it.” “But Dash...she’s like our biggest fan,” said Rarity. Fluttershy sniffed and stood up, running out of the room crying, “boo hoo hoo!”. “OTHER THAN YOU FLUTTERS!!!” Rarity yelled to her. “I’ll be able to come, and I’ll bring some friends too, they’ll love you guys.” said Scootaloo. “Alrighty then, just tell yer parents yer studyin’ or somethin’.” said Applejack. Dash looked at Applejack, “So who are we playing with?” “The Shadow Bolts...” said Applejack. Dash raised her fist, “Aww man, that one shadowy band! I hate them!” ----+---- Dash had a lively dream that night. She was walking through her old school's hallways, when all of a sudden she saw Twilight skating past her holding a package. “Hey!” Dash yelled at her. “Hey!” she yelled again as she woke up. She ran to the door and opened it, and standing in front of her was the mysterious and wonderful Twilight Sparkle.
