//------------------------------// // First (Not So Great) Day // Story: The Summer Switcheroo // by dashielovesyou //------------------------------// Rarity’s hot. Well no duh of course she is, it’s summer! Rarity, adorned in a fashionable summer dress and a wide-brimmed hat, found herself standing under the scorching sun at the sports camp. She wasn’t even supposed to be in here! Her forehead, sweat dripping down her face like a river, threatening to ruin her applied makeup. The fashionista fanned herself with a small hand-held fan. Her previously mood fixated on the mistake her and Rainbow Dash did had quickly disappeared, replaced by a state of discomfort. She let out an dramatic sigh, feeling the heat saturating every pore of her body. “I can’t take this anymore,” She murmured. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw most people had obtained their bags. She frowned. She thought about reattempting to tell Spitfire about their camp mixup, but she doesn’t see site of her anywhere. She crossed her arms as more discomfort washed all over her body. A loud whistle was heard around the camp. Rarity turned her head, looking where the sound came from. Spitfire stood on top of a stadium. “Everybody gather around here, now!” Spitfire commanded, loud and confident. Rarity eyes wided. Her and everybody else were at least 100 ft away from the stadium, and she heard her loud and clear. Rarity, soaking in the information she just thought of, made her fear Spitfire more. Everyone started walking over to the stadium, grabbing their things. Rarity stood in place, staring blankly before she let out a small gasp and started to copy everybody else. Small chattering was among the big group. Rarity stood dumbly, staring at Spitfire of fear. From what she heard from Rainbow Dash, “she’s really fun and cool to hang with, just don’t get on her bad side.” Rarity made a face of uncertainty as she recalled the memory. She straighten her back and attempted to walk to the front of the stage. Multiple people blocking and pushing her way of reaching her goal. As she finally got pass a group, a loud yell from Spitfire came, with made Rarity flinch at the sudden noise. “Alright newbies, today is your first day. You will all call me Ma’am,” She turned towards the group, expecting a response. “Yes ma’am!” Rarity gave a little jump at the loudness. “Do you think you got what it thinks? Do you think you have the guts?” Spitfire said, walking around stage. Some giggles came out from the group. Spitfire stopped in her tracks and turned to face the stage. Her face gave off a menacing stare that made Rarity shutter. With a frown, Spitfire spoke again. “You think this is funny? Don’t think I’m playing, because I will not be tolerating any pussy shit.” She continued, “This summer, you will train HARD. From morning to noon.” Rarity’s eyes wided once more. Without thinking, she raised her hand. “Um, excuse me ma’am,” She called out. Spitfire gave a look of confusion before quickly changing it into her stern look. She looked down at Rarity with a raised eyebrow. “Um, I believe there’s been a mistake,” Rarity started, “you see, my friend and I-“ a screeching noise from Spitfires whistle blew up, making Rarity and several people nearby cover their ears. “There’s no time for complaining around here missy!” She roared. Rarity slummed down from her stance. “If you’re gonna be here, there is absolutely no complaining!” Spitfire stepped away from the fashionistas face and continued what she was doing. A young boy nudged Rarity’s elbow. Rarity looked over and looked up at him with a confused look. “Are you supposed to be here? You don’t seem- err- y’know?” The boy hinted, pointing out her attire. Rarity frowned deepen. “No, I am not! I’m trying to tell her that but she will not listen!” Rarity hissed. She made her to keep her voice down so she won’t be heard and get yelled at again. The boys eyes wided. “Oh shit, good luck,” He said with a laugh but also pure genuine. She put her head down as she tried to hold in her anger. She knew this wasn’t even the beginning. Rainbow wanted to die. No , actually, she wanted to kill someone. She cannot believe she made this stupid mistake. Now she’s stuck here for the rest of the summer, unless she can tell the teacher about this. Should be easy enough. Standing outside, the rainbow haired teen looked around, looking for “her” camp instructor. Everyone looks the same. Rainbow groaned. She started walking. Sweat starting to seep into Rainbow as the sun hit directly on her. She stopped in her tracks and she wiped sweat from her forehead. Jeez I know it’s summer but isn’t it TOO hot? She wondered as she got more annoyed. She was wearing black shorts with a simple white shirt. She ignored her discomfort and walked until she found “her” camp instructor. Seems like she’s been cornered by a group of chatty teens. She had a bright smile on her face, answering all of their questions with fast but also understandable. Rainbow speed walked towards the woman but only to get hit in the face by one of the girls. Rainbow didn’t think and immediately reacted. “Hey watch where you’re going!” She yelled. The girl turned around and gave a quick “oh, sorry” and went back to crowding the shorter woman. Rainbow wasn’t dealing with this. She started pushing the other girls, receiving dirty looks. The shorter woman looked at Rainbow and gave a cheeky smile. “Oh hello! Are you new here? I never seen you before! Oh my I love your hair? Is it natural?” The woman blabbed. Rainbow felt overwhelmed with all the questions she was getting. Rainbows eyes furrowed as she begin to speak up. “Um, excuse me,” Rainbow isn’t a polite person but she tried to sound polite as possible. Rarity always told her to be more polite and not so brash. At first, she didn’t listen but sometimes the best way to get people to listen is to be nice. The woman stopped her blabbing and put a hand to put mouth. “Oh my! Excuse my rudeness! My name is Sapphire Rose. What’s yours?” “Rainbow Dash, now there’s been a mixup-“ Rainbow started just as soon she had been interrupted by a girl asking one of her useless questions. Rainbow scrunched up her face in frustration as her eyes turned into sharp daggers staring into space. She hadn’t been this pissed in a while. She sharply turned her head towards the girl. The girl lowered down from her stance. Rainbow turned around to face Sapphire but two more girls piped up more questions. Sapphire Rose turned at them and answered their questions. Sapphire looked down at her watch and gasped. “Oh my look at the time! It’s time to go to the main hall!” The group treated and started walking to the big building. Sapphire turned towards Rainbow Dash and put a hand on her arm. “Tell me later hon,” Sapphire said. She speed walked towards the main hall. Rainbow slouched as she did a frustrated groan. “This is gonna be hell,”
