//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: A Helping Hand // Story: Blur // by Slingshot619 //------------------------------// So, you guys really want Rainbow Dash X Scout? Really? Fine. You win. I'll come around to that sooner or later, be sure to stick around, someone from the BLU team is coming to town. It was a fine morning, the sun was shining, birds were flying. Just a normal day. Rainbow Dash didn't want to go out, she was hurt, her pride was hurt. She had taken another beating from Scout yesterday. She couldn't help but remember why she didn't want to answer him in the first place. She didn't want to get caught blushing. As annoying as Scout was, he was quite good looking. "Time to go clear the clouds." Rainbow Dash stood on her porch. She jumped and prepared to fly, instead she found herself falling. No sooner, a flash of blue had caught her, she was soon dropped on a soft cloud, she turned to thank her savior, she turned and saw Scout instead. "You saved me?" "Of course chucklenuts. I cleared the clouds for ya' too." "But why?" "Nothing better to do anyways." Rainbow Dash stared in to his icy blue eyes. He was fast, had an attitude, and was good looking. just Rainbow's type. Focus Rainbow, you're supposed to hate this guy, he's a jerk. But, he does seem kinda nice now. Rainbow Dash looked once more into his blue eyes. And then she turned and took a nap. Typical Rainbow. "Whatever you want knucklehead." Scout flew off to go practice flying some more. He still hadn't quite perfected flying yet. He would occasionally near miss a couple of buildings before landing. Rainbow Dash kept watching, she knew exactly how it felt like when she first tried to fly. It was good, she was a fast learner, and so was Scout. In a matter of seconds, he had broken the sound barrier, instead of having a trail of rainbow behind him, he had blue light, kinda like when he drank BONK! "How-" Even Rainbow Dash was stunned. She hadn't expected that. Scout landed on her cloud and did a hoof pump. "Didja see that? Freakin' unbelievable!" Scout continued gloating and hopping around. He soon noticed Rainbow Dash staring at him. "Uhm, you okay there Skittles?" Rainbow Dash shook it off and felt blood rushing to her face. She was blushing. Scout had a grin on his face. "Stop it! It's not what you think." "Sure it is." Scout replied sarcastically Rainbow Dash reared back a hoof, but Scout saw this coming and soon took off into the sky. "Looks like Skittles has a crush." Scout said with a chuckle Scout flew over to Fluttershy's. Maybe there was something she needed help with. Halfway there, a pack of bunnies ran past him. Scout stared at them and continued flying to Fluttershy's. When he reached he found Fluttershy panicking. "Hey, hey, hey. slow down there pancakes. Wassup?" "The bunnies escaped!" Fluttershy continued panicking, Scout took matters into his own hooves and flew after the bunnies. Seconds later he had all the bunnies back to Fluttershy. "O-oh my." "You can thank me later." Scout took off again. He flew to Sweet Apple Acres. He sat on a tree top and found Applejack bucking apples as usual. "Need some help?" Scout inquired "No thanks." Scout shrugged and flew off. He found himself at Twilight's soon after. her place was a mess. Books were everywhere. twilight was trying to clean up, Spike just made things even worse. "You know your supposed to put the books in the bookshelf right?" Twilight looked at him. It was clear that she was not happy. "Fine. If you know so much, you do it then." Twilight sat in a chair and crossed her arms. Scout cracked his knuckles and a grin appeared on his face. Scout said a rather familiar quote. "I'll clear this in 10 seconds flat." Clear them he did. In no time at all the library was cleared. Twilight just stood there mouth agape. "Thank me later." Scout flew out the library and landed on a cloud. Content with his new life. Meanwhile...... Pinkie Pie was throwing another one of her wild parties. The gang was having a chat. "You know, that Scout guy has been awfully nice lately." Twilight said "I know. He helped me get my bunnies back. He's so kind." "He helped me clear the clouds. And did you see those awesome moves?" Rainbow stared off into space dreamily upon thinking of Scout. "Y'know, you and another pony seem kinda similar." Pinkie Pie said "Really? Who?" RD asked "Oh, i don't know. Perhaps a certain blue pony who out ran you." Twilight said "Very funny." "I think you like him." Twilight answered The ponies giggled. Rainbow Dash's face was turning red. "I most certainly do not like him." Dash replied "You seem to work way too hard to make us all think you hate him." "That's because i do hate him!" "And you seem obsessed with catching him." "I need to get my revenge. One way or another." "Rainbow Dash, are you trying to impress him?" "N-n-no." Rainbow was blushing furiously. The ponies couldn't contain their laughter any more. "I don't have a crush on him!" "Sure you don't." They sarcastically said. "Buck you all." Rainbow Dash left, her face was still red from blushing. But deep down inside, whether she liked it or not, she had a crush. Meanwhile...... Scout was just chilling on a cloud. When all of a sudden, random thoughts began popping into his head. How would the team look life if they were here? How would Heavy react to all this adorable? What would the ponies do? He had so many questions. He got up and continued practicing. Scout remembered how spy used to tease him. He would borrow Scout's earphones and say "This is Scout, rainbows make me cry. Over." He couldn't help but chuckle. The tables were turned now. He continued flying. Unaware that he was about to crash into tree. With a huge bang. Scout crashed into the tree and fell down. He got up in time to see a portal open and close. A pony had come through the portal. Scout almost couldn't comprehend what he saw. "Heavy?" Scout asked. "Scout? Is good to see you!" The ecstatic Heavy replied Might not be updating for a while. And yes, i have added Heavy because a decent number of you wanted him in the story. Heavy might look a bit weird with hair but this was the best i could find. Don't worry, i'll explain in the next chapter.
