//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Who has the name ILoveLilies // by Miyukana //------------------------------// ‘Alright Twilight, keep it together.I'm sure that the Rainbow Dash here is not that bad.Maybe she might be angry at first and it will fade away eventually. This thing keeps bugging me, since last night.I even slept in two in the morning. My heart beats fast when I saw Rainbow Dash sitting on the bench in the soccer fields.She’s wearing her soccer jersey.It looks like she just finished their practice.I think, her teammates are in the locker room Because Rainbow is all by herself left alone.It looks like she’s busy reading something on her phone. I sneak quietly towards her slowly and hide myself behind the fence which is the barrier of the bench.I need to lower myself and try to take a squat.I don’t want myself to get caught or worst,she may think that I’m ILoveLilies because I’m spying her.I saw her straight face while she’s still looking at her phone. I was glad that she’s smiling, it’s only been a week since Rainbow and Fleetfoot broke each other.I think it’s my fault why they broke up.I don’t want to blame myself but that’s the only thing I could think of.Said of the one who circulate the news in the whole campus, it’s mutual decision to why they separate each other.But no one knows what they chose to broke up with each other.I just hope it’s not because of me, or else My conscience will never be silent to me.They almost been with each other for like two years.Well anyways, they were too young to be in a serious relationship. My eyes widen when I saw the orange header above Rainbow’s phone screen.Wattpad!! She’s reading Wattpad app! Is she reading my story? Is she reading my latest update that I posted recently? Is she for real? I want to know exactly what Rainbow’s reaksiyon on that story.My curiosity is attacking me.Can I imagine that she is pleased with what she’s reading so she’s smiling now? Is it right for me to write that story? Base on the story I wrote, Sky Yellow break up with Rainbow Dash because Sky Yellow fall for another mare.The mare’s name of Rainbow’s rival has the same popularity in school, the top swimmer named Cloudy.Rainbow was broken-hearted and with a bruised ego.So she asked the prettiest and most Popular girl in school— and the vainest one— Villamoré to be her date in a party where Sky And Cloudy would Both attend as a new couple. Villamoré was the one Rainbow chose to be a date because long ago Cloudy courted her but she rejected it.And for Rainbow, she wants to hit three birds with one stone.She want to show Sky that she moves on by showing up with a date even though she think it’s a stupid idea.She want Sky to be mad because Rainbow change her with the girl who’s one of her enemy and she want to hurt Cloudy’s feeling because she’s dating a girl who rejected Cloudy this night. Villamoré was narcissistic.So she doesn’t have any interests in love or dating a person.She was only in love with herself.So she’s immune in the charms of both popular girls in the school.She just agreed to have a date with Rainbow that night because she want to be the center of the attention and to expose her beauty. Rainbow’s plan to destroy the night to Sky and Cloudy is done.But when she about to picked Villamoré in her house, Villamoré said that a pimple grown in her nose so she couldn’t come to the party, Rainbow’s plan was ruined.She was about to delay her come but she don’t want to make fun of herself. Outside the venue of the party, Rainbow saw her ex-girlfriend with her new mare walking inside, but she wants to hide herself because she don’t want to face her like a loser.And that is the most thing she hates, being a loser.Rainbow didn’t walk inside the Venue due to severe frustration.When she thought that she need to enter, she walked in the hallway to go to the function Hall where the party is.But she stop in the middle of the way when she realized that she don’t want to make fool of herself in front of the party, she turn around to walk outside.And because of turning around, she hit a girl wearing a purple dress who almost fell down if she didn’t caught her. The girl was breathtakingly beautiful.That was the only time Rainbow first saw that girl that’s why she’s sure that the girl doesn’t study in their school that she’s been studying in.The girl’s eyes widen in shock and surprise when she saw Rainbow staring at her.It was as if she knew her. Rainbow said sorry to her and asked her if they were schoolmates.But the girl shook her head.Rainbow introduced herself to the girl and knew that the girl’s name is “Girlie.” Rainbow grinned when the idea hit her.She saw the girl went in the party alone so it means, that there is no one with her and she doesn’t have a date.And because the girl doesn’t have a date, Rainbow offered her if she want to be her date on that party.It’s obviously surprised the girl and had a few moment of hesitation.And because Rainbow used her charm, Girlie accepted it.Rainbow didn’t follow the whole plan but at least she could save her face in front of everybody on that night. On the party, Rainbow acted sweet to Girlie (even though she hates mushy) so that she could show to Sky that she moved on.Girlie was a bit shy but Rainbow has helped her be at ease with her.And while they were together, without realising Rainbow have a good conversation with Girlie and forgetting about Sky and Cloudy.Rainbow didn’t thought about having fun with that night, only about her plan ruining the couple.She even regret using the girl in front of her ex-girlfriend. But when Rainbow excused herself to Girlie to go to the washroom, she never see Girlie again when she came back.She didn’t get even her contact number or even ask where Girlie is studying.It is astonishing when she asked the birthday celebrant, that they don’t have a guess that named “Girlie”.She think that she made a mistake to ask Girlie to a date.But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have fun talking with her.She just wanted to know her more. Unaware to Rainbow, the girl’s name isn’t real. That she’s Galaxy Star.She’s Rainbow Dash’s schoolmate But she doesn’t even know her because she isn’t popular in CHS.Her looks are far from the “Girlie” she met that night.Shes wearing eyeglasses and always putting her ponytail.She was nerd.And all nerdy girls are ignored by the Popular ones.Rainbow looked disappointed, she want to tell to that girl to fix herself to look presentable, not like she looked trash or something, she just only need a little push to her appearance.Galaxy has a crush on Rainbow for a long time, but sadly, Rainbow doesn’t put her attention to a person or people like her.One day, her friend Fluffy received an invitation on a debut party.But the day that her friend needs to go to the party, Fluffy has a sprain from overdoing her designs.So asked her to attend the party on her friend’s behalf.Fluffy was included in eight candles so it needs a proxy, if not maybe it will ruin the program of the party.She don’t want the birthday celebrant to be mad at her friend so she decided to come and think of it as a dream. Galaxy And Fluffy has the same body size so Galaxy’s body fit to the purple dress that Fluffy was about to wear if she doesn’t have a sprain.Fluffy paid the salon for them to fix her look, and that was the first time Galaxy saw herself transform from being a nerd to being a elegant maiden since Fall Formal.So she could cover herself on the party when she came, she doesn’t want someone else to notice her. She just entered inside the function Hall where the debut party venue is holding.When she bumped into Rainbow Dash, she was surprised to see Rainbow there.That is her first time to stick with her together and talked with her in person again, so her mind is having a crazy explosion looking at Rainbow.In so much amazement, she shook her head when Rainbow asked her if they were schoolmates.She want to regret it but on second thought, that is a better idea.She doesn’t want the school made fun of her especially Rainbow.She knew what Rainbow Dash like when she’s being teased by the other students especially when she’s hanging out with nerd like Galaxy.She was glad that she didn’t used her eyeglasses that time. It’s too late for Galaxy to recover her answer to Rainbow Dash.She just pointed out that they were not studying in the same school.Galaxy even changed her name When Rainbow asked her.Over all, Rainbow will never recognize her again when they meet in school.Galaxy had a different look that time, far from who she was before she make herself beautiful in the salon. The thing made Galaxy extraordinary surprised was when Rainbow asked her to be her date on the party.She couldn’t believe that her ultimate crush wants to be her date on that night, so she couldn’t answer her question as soon as Rainbow asked her.Rainbow thought that Galaxy is hesitating, so she used the only thing she could do (and the least Rainbow Dash will do), she made a cute face so that Galaxy accept her offer.Lucky for her, Galaxy accepted it. When they entered inside the functional Hall, that was when Galaxy realized that it is not a debut party.This party was held for her schoolmate, Strawberry.She doesn’t want to leave Rainbow Dash alone so she decided to stay for a little bit until she get a chance to say goodbye.She really don’t want to stay in a party since she doesn’t want to be in a noisy place, she get used to live in a quiet place.And this is not the place she supposed to attend to. At the party, Galaxy realized why Rainbow was too persistent in taking her inside as a date.And then she saw Rainbow’s ex-girlfriend with her new partner.She also noticed that Rainbow got extra sweet on her and she had an idea that Rainbow want Sky to be jealous of her.Galaxy hurt about that, but she decided to tag along with Rainbow’s plan.She just let Rainbow used her to make Rainbow’s ex to be jealous.Galaxy doesn’t want to come here in the first, And because of her friend Fluffy want her to come for replacement, she came, but the thing is she doesn’t came here to pretend, she just came here for a friend.Tears was welling up in her eyes so she wiped it out immediately.She don’t want everyone inside the party to look sorry for her. Until the time came when Rainbow excuses herself to go to the washroom, Galaxy saw that this is her chance to escape.There is no way she can’t go to the debut party to be her friend’s proxy.She run towards the door and went to the other side of the room where the party is where she really need to attend to. Next day in school, Galaxy saw Rainbow, but Rainbow didn’t recognized her because she’s not as beautiful as she look last night. One day,Rainbow got injured during soccer competition.Her adviser said that she couldn’t come in school for two weeks because her ankle ligament got operated.And to catch up for her abscences in school, Rainbow needs a tutor to help her.When Galaxy heard about that while filing on the table inside the faculty room.The teacher said that Rainbow is finding a person to teach her about the lessons that they tackle about since Rainbow got injured.And without realising what she’s doing that time, she courageously represent herself to the teacher so that the teacher recommend her to Rainbow for being Rainbow’s tutor.She just really want to help Rainbow, besides wanting to have a chance to talk with her and to be with her long time crush.Its not that because she have a crush on that person, she just want to help.But why is she willing to help the person who barely even know her and not there to help the people who she can help with. Smile didn't leave on Rainbow’s face while reading my story on Wattpad.Is that ,that wonderful? She was probably in the running part where the fictional Rainbow mischief in the story and thought to tease the nerd tutor. She probably doesn’t care about it, right? It’s not like she feel thrilled or something. I can’t help from smiling.I’m glad that Rainbow is enjoying reading the story I wrote.But the thing that keeps bugging me was that, what is her exact thoughts reading that story? From the hiding place, I saw Rainbow’s teammates trotting towards her. “What the hell?” said Misty.” We took shower and all, and you still here?” “Oh snap” Fire streak looked at Rainbow’s phone.”She’s still reading that story on Wattpad” They laughed. Well it looks like Rainbow didn’t get pissed which is good.”The story development is getting interesting” she said with excitement. “You don’t want somebody else call you “softie” would you?” Spitfire tease. Does that mean, she’s getting to like the story I wrote? Or is it only a sarcastic mark? “You really enjoy reading that book, aye!" Misty nudged Rainbow’s back. “It’s fun Misty, how about you read it to see it for yourself” Rainbow answered. “I don’t want to feel thrilled about it like you, I don’t want to be a nerd” Fire streak laughed which is joined by her other teammates. “Why did you think that reading a book is a nerd already?” Rainbow shook her head chuckling slightly. “I also read that book” Misty confessed.”Out of curiosity.You're really are the male lead err the protagonist on that story crash” she smirked. “The writer couldn’t make it more obvious” Spitfire commented. “You’re reading that too Spitfire?” Fire Streak asked her, ready to tease her next. “No” Fire Streak sighed in disappointment.”But when Misty tell me about it yesterday about the summary.I don’t know wether to laugh at it or find that thing creepy.The writer could be watching you from somewhere and you don’t even know it” I lowered myself a little bit when I heard what Spitfire said.She was right on the last thing she said, I just hope they didn’t see me here, they might think that I’m ILoveLilies (which is true).I’m just right here while watching Rainbow. “It’s okay” I heard Rainbow speak.”I know it looks wierd and scary but I find it creative and amusing, after all I’m Rainbow Dash who doesn’t afraid of anything” My smile came back while sitting on the floor and continue listening.Rainbow is really cool she and Dash are both the same.She even not angry or disgusted for what I did.And in fact, she even count it creative and amusing.Rainbow the cool and radical find my work creative even though reading is the least she wanted to do? I’m living in a fantasy right? “You find it amusing that the writer paired you up with a nerd” Fire Streak asked in disbelief. “As a matter of fact, she’s a pretty and amusing nerd” Rainbow corrected “Try to read it so you can’t think of it like the writer is trashing me, it’s not like she’s Fleetfoot and besides I don’t think she will waste her froufrou time reading this” she raised her phone. “Nah, nerds are nerds.They’re the most boring kind.And it’s only just a story.The writer is just fooling you” Fire Streak gasped.”No way! Have you dated a nerd? That’s why you like the story?” she asked. “No...you?” Rainbow asked back. “Of course not!” Fire Streak said with disgust.”I don’t even want to think about it.” “See!” Rainbow said.”You don’t even get a first-hand experience dating a nerd but the way you generalize...I admit I don’t really pay attention to a nerdy girls.And that will lose my reputation as a cool Wondercolt.And I also think they’re boring, they always criticising your mistakes.But what if not all of them are dull just like the heroine in this story? What if they only just stigmatised?” she said.”I’m also glad that our schoolmates doesn’t make fun of me or else they might say goodbye to their asses” I heard someone laugh and I know that is Misty.”Crash, are you saying that you’re suddenly interested in nerdy girls right now? after that incident with Fleetfoot” she laughed. I didn’t heard what Rainbow said exactly,so I looked again to the hole of the barrier.I saw her smiling while staring at her Wattpad app.”Well I’m starting to get curious” I stopped.What does Rainbow mean about that? What kind of curiousity? Okay I’m getting curious about what Rainbow is curious about. “Does Galaxy Star is real?” Rainbow asked. “WHAT!!” They freaked out, Misty slapped Rainbow in the face. “Hey what gives” she glared at Misty. “I just want you to snapped out of it to make sure that you’re just hallucinating” “I’m not hallucinating alright? I mean, does she really exist? Because I’m in that story so it means that the writer put someone in here too, right?” Three of her teammates are silent, looks like thinking of something.Rainbow seems like really interested in my story because there is no way she get curious about love.Only if you were hiding secrets to her. “Damn” I almost jumped from my hiding place when I heard Spitfire spoke.”It’s possible, because it really is you Rainbow who’s in that story, you're both have the sense of brashness, stubbornness , wrecklessnesss” she teased.Rainbow just rolled her eyes. “Do you want to check the registrar?” Misty asked her with excitement. “Rainbow smiled.”I already did yeastsrday because I’m really curious, I almost make auntie Celestia get mad at me from disturbing her ‘cake break’.There is no student here that has a ‘Galaxy Star’ name.So, maybe she’s also like Fleetfoot who became Sky Yellow in the story.And it’s possible that she existed but the writer just change her name.” Rainbow eyes widen in realization. “Ohh” Fire Streak groaned.”She’s probably one of the nerdy girls in school.I think the girl is also like you who just made fun of by the writer to write a story about you too” Rainbow’s interests obviously revealing in her face.”That’s what I think it is.My heroine in the story could also be a real person but with a fictitious name.This writer, ILoveLilies, is something else” she grinned. “I gather, that in one of the writer’s works, they used Flash as a character.They even change his name” Misty said. “That’s the thing that’s getting me curious about” Rainbow said.”Why did they used my full name? Why they changed Flash name in the other story? Is this kind of joke” she sighed. Is she angry with me right now? “Maybe she doesn’t want to be found out and get bruised by ‘The Equestrian Shields’ What kinda lame name is that?” Spitfire laughed. They all joined her. “You have a point there Spit’ “Rainbow nudged her.”I’m harmless so maybe she’s not frighten to use my name on it” Oh you never knew how I’m terrified when I found out that you’re finding me.Kinda gives me chills Rainbow.I’m just glad it isn’t my pony friend Rainbow or else she will bite Pinkie to find me in every inch of Equestria. “Why would that person do that?” Fire Streak asked her. “Maybe she just want her story to be popular in here” Misty answered.They all looked at Rainbow who giggled.”Many people here are intrigued so they read that story, even the ones who never read Wattpad ever, like us.You See, That story got ten million reads” Misty waved her hand in the air. “Damn good strategy” Fire Streak clapped. I sighed.I have mistakenly exploited Rainbow’s Popularity. Rainbow didn’t speak again while her teammates keep talking about ILoveLilies.Rainbow is just looking far at the turf field, as though she’s in deeply thought. “Or maybe the writer aims to suggest something to me” her teammates closed their mouth shut when they heard Rainbow begin to speak. “And what would that be, crash” Spitfire asked her confusingly.Misty pulled out her water from her gym bag, she opened it and drink it. “That maybe I should consider dating a nerd” that made Misty spit her water from her mouth. “Hey what gives Misty” Rainbow looked at her.”Now my clothes are more wet than before” “Well if you didn’t said that in the first place before I drink my water” Misty rolled her eyes.” “That is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard from you Rainbow” Fire Streak fell into his haunches while laughter is taking over him. “Hardy har, Streak” Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Come on let’s get back inside and let Crash shower first” Spitfire said.Rainbow closed her phone and followed her teammates inside the locker room. I saw how they looked at Rainbow.Even Misty spit her water on Rainbow while Spitfire loss her grip on her soccer ball. I gulped.Is Rainbow sriouesly said what he said? ******** “Okay end of the chapter, ohhh I’m so excited” she squealed. “I just hope Rainbow date Twilight” her smile turned into frown.”But that is not me, but she’s Rainbow...and...We...” she groaned when she felt pain in her head. “Oh for Celestia’s sake, why is this co confusing” she groaned. “I better get some rest I got some weather patrolling to do tomorrow and after that I’m going to read this again.” She put the book above the nightstand as she closed the light. ‘How’s it feel like to date Twilight? Maybe she’s going to tell you about research, and science stuff.Oh buck, I’m getting mushy again.Okay keep saying Rainbow ’Danger’ Dash...Rainbow ‘Danger’ Dah, Rainbow ‘Danger’ Dash...Rainbow ‘Danger Dash’ she sighed in relief.She looked up the ceiling waiting for her to sleep.She didn’t notice what time she’s been staring at the ceiling as she fell asleep letting Princess Luna give her a best dream about her and Twilight cuddling on the hill, her wings draped on Twilight’s back while Twilight reading the first edition of Daring Do and while they're watching the sun sets.
