//------------------------------// // Freeway Bonanza // Story: Equestria Girls (Web Series) Season 3 // by DiamondandIce //------------------------------// “Our gig at Hope Hollow was a blast!” Rainbow Dash said. “Indeed.” Rarity said while manicuring her nails. “I became close with the one who invited us to perform there. What was her name again, Kerfuffle I think? Too bad my boyfriend couldn’t come because he has errands to run.”  “Again, thank you for giving us a hand with our band equipment and volunteering to be our driver since AJ brother isn’t available.” Twilight Sparkle thanked Frostbite, Pinkie’s boyfriend, who's driving and Eli Blaze, Fluttershy’s boyfriend, who's looking out the window next to his girlfriend. As they are passing through the freeway, Eli sees something by the barricades as they pass by which happens to be small but…still alive. “Stop the bus!” Elis said as he stood from his seat. “What’s wrong?” Fluttershy asked. “I SAID STOP THE BUS!” “Hold on Eli, let me just stop it by the side.” Frostbite replies as he drives the tour bus to the side of the freeway. After stopping by the side of the freeway and turning on the hazard lights of the bus, Eli got off the bus and retraced his steps while staying on the side. Fluttershy who got up from her seat, still confused on why he made them stop as she got off the bus with Rainbow Dash and followed behind him. “ *snore* *snort* Hey, why did we stop?” Applejack asked after waking up from her nap. “I have no idea darling.” Rarity replies as she does her other hand. **************************************************************************** Meanwhile as the others patiently wait, Fluttershy and Rainbow caught up with Eli who is still walking. “Eli, wait!” Fluttershy said who is trying to keep up with his pace. “You didn’t tell me yet why you made us stop.” “I saw something,” Elis said. “Saw what?” “I can’t tell since we were going too fast. I need to see it for myself.” “Excuse me Eli.” Rainbow Dash who got in front of Eli while walking backwards. “But we are not playing a game of eyespy or guessing games. So you better tell us what you saw or we’ll use force to bring you back.” “If you don’t want to come, you’re free to turn back Rainbow Dash. Also stop walking backwards, you might get sideswiped.” Fluttershy knows that her boyfriend is serious and doesn't argue back and just simply follows him with Rainbow Dash followed from behind. After a little more walking they stopped at the spot where Eli saw the thing as he pointed to the other side by the barricades as the two girls believed him and did see something small and moving..  “It looks like-” Eli said as he used his powers to switch his eyesight to eagle eye to spot the thing by the barricades. “Oh my God, it’s a kitten!” “Oh no! who would even do such a thing to the poor little thing,” Fluttershy said. “Lucky it didn’t get run over.” “Well the longer it stays and the sooner we don’t grab it then it goes bye-bye. With all these cars passing by we won’t have enough rooooooooooo-” Everything all went very slow and what happened is that Rainbow Dash used her own powers to move superfast with everything around her the opposite. She just simply walks over while easily avoiding the slow moving cars and picks up the kitten by the barricades and walks back over the Fluttershy and Eli as she places the kitten in her best friend’s arms. Before she deactivated her powers, she thought of another thing instead of ending the fun like that. She carries both Fluttershy and Eli back to the bus with no sweat and sees the others doing their own thing while waiting for them to come back. After placing both Fluttershy and Eli in their seats she deviously made some rearrangements with the others before heading back to her seat and deactivating her powers. “-oom to cross. Anyone have any bright ideas?” Eli asked but then realized he was back in the bus with Fluttershy. “Wait a minute, how did we end up here?” “I really don’t know?” Fluttershy also wondered. Soon both of them heard the others screaming as they stood up from their seats to see what happened; Rarity who was originally applying lip balm while Applejack is sleeping next to her, the fashionista without realizing ended up kissing her best friend whose eyes were open as both moved away from each other while wiping their mouths; The book that Twilight was reading was replaced by a men’s a magazine as she quickly threw it away and wondered why an egghead like her is reading something like that; Rainbow messed with the game Sunset is playing on her phone. After returning the phone and getting back to her seat, she could hear Sunset screaming on how she ended up losing the game when she wasn’t earlier; and the cupcake that Pinkie Pie was eating was swapped with the banana from her boyfriend. “Oh Fluttershy, Eli, both of you are already here.” Rarity said as she finished wiping her mouth. “So what on earth did you three find by the barricades?” Fluttershy showed them the kitten they found and where in aww and couldn’t imagine that someone would just throw something like this in the middle of the freeway. Eli said to Frostbite once they reach Canterlot City is to drop him and Fluttershy at the animal shelter as he resumes with his driving. “It needs to be fed, bathed, and checked to see if it has any other conditions once we are at the animal shelter.” Fluttershy said as she caressed the kitten’s head who was wrapped and resting on a towel that Rarity lent them then looked at Eli. “Speaking of which, how did we end up back on the bus? Because we were just on the freeway planning on how to get the kitten from the other side.” “Meh, that doesn’t matter anymore now that you had it.” Rainbow said as she rested on her seat with her hands behind her head. “It was you, wasn’t it?” Sunset said as Rainbow sees most of them besides Frostbite whose driving while Eli and Fluttershy tends to the kitten had their eyes on her.  “No it wasn’t.” Rainbow replies only to see Sunset’s hand touching her arm telling she is obviously lying. “I-” “You’re going to pay for that!” While the others are busy with their rainbow-haired friend, Eli just simply told Frostbite to continue with his driving and don’t mind the others at the back. Today was really a blast for the Rainbooms especially for one of their members who rescued another animal thanks to Rainbow Dash who was being taught a lesson after that last thing she pulled off.
