//------------------------------// // 1. Tips from Tina // Story: EqG Tales: G.L.O.W. Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash pases back and forth in her room. She is getting worried about something. Oh, man. I'm getting nervous. What if things don't work out? "Rainbow," Windy Whistles, Rainbow's mom, called, "somebody here to see you!" The athletic girl walks nervously downstairs. She then sees a slender woman with curly red hair, and wearing a blue buttoned shirt, white skirt, and white shoes. "Hello, Miss Rainbow Dash." The woman greeted. 'It's nice to meet you." Looking at the woman, Rainbow soon recognized her. "No way! Tina Ferrari. I thought it was one of my friends. I didn't expect you." "Let's have a seat. Then, we can talk." The two ladies soon sat on the couch. Then, they started their discussion. "Your mother told me that you were nervous, Miss Dash." Tina said. "What's the matter?" "I'm trying to think of a way to spend time with fellow Wonderbolt, Soarin' Skies." Rainbow replied. "Oh, yes. I watched a game with the Wonderbolts soccer team. You guys were pretty great." "Thanks. But now, Soarin' wants to go out with me. And, I don't know how to enjoy our day together." Seeing Rainbow Dash getting nervous, Tina placed a hand on her shoulder. "What time is Soarin' coming over?" Tina asked. "He should be here in forty-five minutes." Rainbow answered. "Well, since it's Sunday, I'm sure you two can think of something. Does he like to relax on a Sunday, after spending the day before on a soccer field?" Dash thought about it for a minute. Then, she gave an answer. "Yeah. Now that I think about it, he tries to think of a way to relax on a Sunday." This gives Tina an idea. "What do you do when you want to relax?" "I like to read Daring Do books, hang out with my friends, and sometimes play a round of mini-golf." "Does Soarin' play mini-golf?" Rainbow Dash then had a thought. "Yeah! He does. He sometimes plays with the likes of Flash Sentry, Bulk Biceps, and others." "Then," Tina suggested, "Maybe you two can have a mini-golf date." Rainbow Dash soon gave out a big smile. "That's a good idea! When he shows up, I'll suggest it to him." She gives a sweet hug to her advisor. "Thanks, Tina." Tina returns the hug. "You're welcome, Rainbow Dash." Later at the mini-golf center, Rainbow Dash and Soarin' Skies enjoyed themselves. "I'm glad that you agreed to this idea, Soarin'." Rainbow praised. "Not a problem." Soarin' replied as he writes down on his scorecard. "This is a great idea." "After this game, how about lunch at the Italian restaurant?" "Sure. I can go for a meatball sub." As they make their way to the next hole, a thought came to Soarin'. "Say, Rainbow, Did I hear that you got this idea from Miss Tina Ferrari?" "Yes, I did." Rainbow answered, figuring that she has to be honest. "She thinks that this is how we both can relax on a Sunday." "I'm not complaining. This is a good idea. I guess she knows how to make romance happen." Rainbow feels good that Soarin' appreciates the help Tina Ferrari gave her. Good call, Tina.
