Cheer Up, Game On

It was a nice partly cloudy Saturday afternoon with a temperature of 45°F. Chase and the girls were sitting on a bench watching Rainbow Dash and her soccer team play their soccer game against the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts. In the outskirts of the field, Pinkie Pie was wearing a blue sweater with a yellow horseshoe in the center, and she had a headband with pony ears and a tail wrapped around her waist. She also had yellow and blue pom poms on each hand. There were other girl students who joined her cheerleading club, too.

While the girls were watching Rainbow Dash and her team make their path to the Crystal Prep goal net, Chase was suddenly shivering softly and had his arms wrapped around his chest for warmth, until he suddenly sneezed. Rarity looked at the poor boy that was shivering in the cold. “Aww, poor Chase. You must be freezing,” Rarity said, until she looked through her bag and took out a spare green rain jacket with a plush fabric inside for Chase to wear. “Here, darling. Put this on. It’ll keep you warm,” Rarity said, until she gave the jacket to Chase and let him put it on, then she gave him a kiss on the cheek. “How does it feel, dear?” Rarity asked. “It’s warm,” Chase replied softly. “Good, because I made it for you,” Rarity said with a warm smile and then Chase hugged her, then she gave him a Wondercolts ball cap. After a few goals of CHS at 9 and CPA at 4, it now was the final round between the two teams.

Chase suddenly found out that Rainbow Dash was in the lead with the soccer ball between her feet, but then a stranger blocked his view. “Hey! Hey, mister! I can’t see!” Chase said, but he suddenly realized that the view was entirely blocked by so many people and it made him feel uncomfortable. When he was about to cry, he saw two pink hands placed underneath his armpits and then he realized Pinkie Pie began to carry him to the field where her cheerleading crew was, then she lifted him higher and placed him on her shoulders, and Chase placed his hands on around her hair so that he wouldn’t fall off.

Suddenly, Chase saw Rainbow Dash pass the ball to another player, until they kept passing the ball back and forth, then it was back to Rainbow Dash. When all of sudden, when she kicked the ball towards the net, she made a goal! Canterlot High won the game, until Pinkie Pie raised her arms in the air and then Chase waved his little Wondercolts flag, then Rainbow Dash gave him a thumbs up and a wink.

When the players congratulated each other and said “good game,” Rainbow Dash caught up with the girls and then they walked home together. “Man, that was a great game, huh?!” Rainbow Dash said excitedly. “Yes, darling. You were magnificent!” Rarity said cheerfully. “How’d you learn moves like that?” Applejack asked. “Well, most days after school, I usually have soccer practice, and during other times, I work out at home, meaning doing some yoga, lifting some weights, and all that other stuff. So that I can keep my weight on track,” Rainbow Dash said. “But who cares?! Today was TOTALLY AWESOME!!”

“Shh!” Fluttershy said softly. “You’re gonna wake the little angel.” Sunset suddenly saw Chase sleeping while riding on Pinkie Pie’s back for a piggyback ride. “Aww, guess that walking tired him out,” Sunset said. “Isn’t he the cutest thing?” Fluttershy said with a cute smile. “Now, he’s been... Tucker-ed out!” Pinkie Pie said, then the girls laughed at her joke, when Chase started squirming. “Shhhhhh... Ladies, please!” Rarity said softly, then she removed Chase from Pinkie Pie’s back and cradled him for a hug. “Let the poor darling sleep. Let him sleep.” Rarity suddenly tipped his hat up and gave Chase a kiss on the forehead and then she embraced his cheek on her chest.

Then, they all walked home together while Chase was sleeping.
