//------------------------------// // 7. Water skiing with Bevy Bunny // Story: Another Summer with the Enchantimals // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// Sitting on a bench, Rainbow Dash feels very upset about what Miss Harshwhinny did to her. "I hate that Harshwhinny!" Rainbow sobbed to herself. "She brings out the worst in some people." Rainbow sat there, crying her eyes out. She feels that not even Spitfire, Soarin Skies, or Scootaloo can cheer her up. Just then, Rainbow sees someone coming. It was a girl with white skin and curly blond hair. She wore a blue top, pink skirt, and blue boots. Her most noticeable features are two bunny ears and whiskers on her face. "Hello, Rainbow Dash." The girl greeted. "I think I've heard of you." Rainbow figured. "You’re Bevy Bunny from Snowy Valley." "In person!" Bevy sat down next to Rainbow, hoping to cheer her up. "I saw you crying so badly." Bevy said. "What's the matter?" "I had a bad encounter with Miss Harshwhinny." Rainbow explained. "I heard that even you Enchantimals heard of her." "We sure have." "Anyway, she forced me to remember how I was often embarrassed by some old rivals from the city of Cloudsdale." "Ooo. That probably didn't go so good." "It sure didn't." Rainbow suddenly had a bunny hop on her lap. Bevy felt good about it. "Looks like my bestie wants to say 'Hi'." The spectrum haired athletic girl looked at the bunny. "So, you're Jump. Right?" The bunny nodded happily. "Fluttershy would love to meet you." Soon, Bevy Bunny has an idea. "I know how to perk you up. How about a little water skiing?" "Water skiing?" Rainbow gasped. "I've seen people try it a couple of times. Do you think I can do good?" "You won't know until you try. Let's head for the lake. I even have a wetsuit you can wear." The two girls some made their way to a lake near Canterlot State Park. Later, wearing a full length crimson wetsuit, Rainbow Dash was in the water wearing a pair of water skis. Holding onto a rope connected to a speedboat, she looks ahead and sees Bevi and Jump in the driver's seat. "Are you ready, RD?" Bevy asked. "I think so." Dash replied. "Then, hang on!" Bevy starts up the boat. It moves along the water, pulling Rainbow Dash behind. She focused on staying afloat. Soon, she was speeding along the water. "Wow!" Rainbow cheered. "This is awesome!" "If you think that's cool," Bevi informed, "look what's coming up." Rainbow sees that they were heading for a ramp in the water. Bevi guided her to the ramp. She rode up the ramp, and flew through the air. After a few twists, she landed in the water gracefully without any falls. Later, the two girls and bunny rested on shore. "That was awesome." Rainbow cheered. "If only Spitfire can see me now." "I'm impressed that you picked up on this so quickly." Bevi replied. "I've seen many water skiing videos to get some basic ideas on how to approach it safely. Twilight Sparkle isn't the only one who can pick up on things quickly." The two girls high fived each other as Jump watches happily.
