RainbowDash’s POV
Sunday, May 31, 2020
“Finally,” I thought as my friends and I finished loading my stuff in my car.
“Why are you leaving so early again?!” asked one of my friend Pinkie Pie, while eating a whole cake in one bite. Don't ask!
“I already told you Pinkie, the Wonderbolts Academy requires Freshman to be there at the start of summer,” I responded, obviously annoyed.
“Why, if you don’t mind me asking?” my closest friend Fluttershy asked.
“For Training, duh,” I retorted, “They want me to select 2 sports to play full-time. It’s a Sports School Afterall!”
“Did you at least pack 1 dress, Darling?” My fashion-loving friend Rarity asked.
“Yes,” I said while rolling my eyes, “but only because you made me! I'm not going to wear it.”
“Here,” My friend Sunset Shimmer said while handing me my favorite football gloves. I was planning on giving them to Scootaloo, a young schoolgirl who idolizes me. She's basically my little sister now.
“Thanks, Sunset!” I said.
“We sure are going to miss you, sugar cube.” My friend Applejack said, sadly.
“Me too. I wish we all were going to the same school, but it’s quite the opposite, 7 different ones.” Egghead, I mean Twilight said.
“Yes, but you all can still hang out tell then, and I’m coming back for the 4th of July for a sleepover, okay?” I said.
“I know, but It still sucks.”
“Ya”
“Anyways, I need to get going now,” I said nearly tearing up. NEARLY! I Don’t Cry! Ever!
I gave all my friends a long group hug and was about to get in my car to leave for the Wonderbolts Academy.
“Wait a Minute, Young Lady!” My Mom, Windy Whistles said.
“You’re not leaving without saying goodbye to us, are you?” asked my Dad, Bow Hothoof.
“Oh... Sorry, Mom and Dad,” I said Hugging them, “I love and miss you already!”
“Goodbye Dashie,” my Dad said tearing up.
“Keep it cool Dad, but never change.”
I had one more person to say goodbye to. That would be my young friend Scootaloo, the one I mentioned earlier. I pulled up near her and her friend’s treehouse to say farewell.
Knock. Knock.
“Oh, Heya RainbowDash,” Applebloom, Applejacks Little sister said.
“Hey, Bloom! Is Scoots here?”
“Ya, Come in.”
“Hey, Scoots!” I said trying not to sound sad.
“Rainbow Don’t Go!” She wauled jumping into my arms.
“I know you’re upset, I am too. But, you know I have to go.”
“I know,” She said sadly, breaking my heart.
“But first, I have something for you.”
“Really! What?”
I handed her my Phone Number and my Favorite Football Gloves.
“I-I don’t know what to say!” She said tearing up, “I can’t accept your gloves!”
“Do it for me. Okay, Squirt.”
“B-but they won’t even fit.”
“You’ll grow into them, trust me.”
“O-okay!”
“Goodbye Scootaloo! I’ll see you in July, and I’ll call every now and then,” I said winking.
“Goodbye RainbowDash!”
As I drove away I waived through the window of my car and saw the 3 kids waving back.
‘I miss them already,’ I said to myself, 'All of them'.
“Farwell Canterlot!”
***3 Hours Later***
I decided to stop for Lunch only half an hour away from my place.
I got a text from Suprise, a friend, and teammate from Highschool who is going with me to WBA while eating a sandwich.
-Hey, come to 1977 South Bolt Street, Cloudsdale Equestria!
-Why?
-Got a place to Stay?
-Was going to get a dorm room
-Don’t
-Why?
-Just Come Please. It’s a Suprise ;)
-Okay, Fine
-Yay!!!!
***1 hour Later***
I pulled up to the Place. It was a pretty nice place.
‘I’m guessing this is just a stupid party!’ I thought annoyed.
I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Spitfire another long-time teammate answered.
“Hey, Dash! How’s it going?”
“Uh... Hey, Spit. What are you doing here?”
“I live here, duh.”
“Uh...what?”
“Oh, Suprise didn’t tell you? We got this place for all 14 of us to stay, including you!”
“What?! I couldn’t!”
“Don’t Worry. One of us got a full ride Scholarship and is rich so and got this place for a good deal. It’s also near School so we can walk!”
“Really, Who?
“It’s-” Spitfire was cut off.
“Is she here?” a voice with a lisp said from behind Spitfire.
“Yes,” Spit said to the voice.
“Hey, Fleetfoot,”
“Rainbow!!!” She came up and gave me a hug.
“RainbowDash!!!” A loud Voice said and tackled me as I let go of Fleetfoot.
“Get off her, Suprise,” MistyFly, another friend said.
“Okay!!!”
“How are you Rainbow?” High Winds said as she and Blaze came outside onto the porch and helped me and Suprise up.
“I’m Good. How are you guys?”
“You know we all saw each other last week, Right?” Spitfire asked us.
“Just being polite, Spit,” MistyFly said, “You should try it sometime.”
Spitfire glared at Misty.
We all went inside to where I saw the boys sitting in the giant Living room, doing, well ‘boy things’. Thunderlane, Windwalker, and Wave Chill are on their phones talking while Rapidfire and the Streak Twins were eating some chips at the table.
“Hey Dash,” Spits said,
“What?”
“FireStreak and Blaze finally got together, so did Wave Chill and High Winds.”
“Wow, Finally!” I said.
“Well, that is wierd! Now there are 6 couples here, huh.”
‘She’s Right’ I thought. Fleetfoot has Thunderlane, MistyFly and Windwalker have been dating since freshman year, Surprise and LightningStreak got together at Heart’s Warming and Spit and RapidFire are the power couple, being the captains and all.
“Ya Wierd.”
“Hey Dash, Need help with your bags?” Windwalker said. He was always really helpful.
“Uh. Sure, Thanks!”
“Dash you’re bunking with me, Yay!” Suprise said, really loud, then pointed to a hallway, “Spit and Feet, as well as You and I, are in the first room on the Left, The streak twins, Wave and Wind are in the first on the right, and Rapid and Soarin, as well as Thunderlane, are in the second on the right, and Blaze, as well as Misty and High, are on the last room. Each room has it’s own bathroom and you’ve already seen the kitchen and living room. Oh! They also have their own porches too! How cool is that!?”
Suprise is a lot like Pinkie, she tends to blab on about stuff, like now for instance. Although one name she listed sounded familiar but wasn’t a name I recognized from CHS.
“Dash. Dash. DASH!” Spitfire Said.
“Huh... What?” I must have dozed off.
“We getting your bags or what?” Thunderlane said.
“Oh Right, Ya. Haha,” I said nervously, snapping out of my daydream.
About 20 minutes later I had all my stuff in my room. I sat on my bed and chatted with the girls for a bit.
“Hey Spit, where’s Soarin?” Asked Fleetfoot.
“Oh, he’s out getting Dinner.” She answered, "Pizza I think."
“Who’s Soarin?” I asked.
“You don’t know Soarin Skies?!” Suprise screamed in my ear.
I covered my ears and said, “Name sounds familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.”
“Soarin is a famous singer, kind of like you, but more famous, and plays almost every instrument,” Spitfire explained, “He was in Pre-school with us. You seriously don’t remember him?”
“Not exactly. Love to meet him again.”
"What!? You had a huge crush on him!" Suprise suddenly yelled.
"I did?!"
"Yep! You were obsessed!"
“Well, you do know that the guys are in his band now right?” Spitfire asked.
“What? Really?”
“Yep! Soarin needed people to play instruments for live concerts.”
“What are they called?”
“I think they just go by the Wonderbolts. It’s mostly a small thing now. Soarin said he’s focused more on school and football than music.
“Cool! I’m the same way.”
Then I had to cover my ears again.
“Ya, Soarin is lead guitar and vocals,” Suprise began.
‘Just like me!’
“Just like You!”
‘How did she know I just thought that?’
"You two are perfect for each other!" Fleetfoot said.
"I can hardly remember him!"
"Still."
"Ugh."
“Anyway, my Lightning is the other guitarist” Suprise continued, “Rapidfire is the bass player, Thunderlane plays piano, Firestreak is on drums, Wave chill plays Violin Banjo or flute, and Windrider plays Chello, Tamborine, or any other extra instrument that they might need!”
“Wow.”
“Maybe you and the Rainbooms should have a band battle!” Blaze suggested.
“I don’t know.” I hesitated.
“How come?”
“Last time I had a band battle, it turned out a bit...strange.”
“Yup, I remember.”
“Anyway, let’s go out and wait for dinner,” MistyFly suggested, “I’m hungry!”
“OK!” Suprise screamed.
“I think I’ll go wait on the porch,” I said. I wanted to look up Soarin.
“Okay. Suit yourself.”
