//------------------------------// // WonderDream // Story: Spitfires Mission: Babysitting at HQ // by cantil //------------------------------// 'Sweet Celestia it's freezing in here' Rainbow thought to herself as she waited for the secretary to return. 'Man, what is taking her so long, I've got some flying to get to' The secretary soon returned with a paper that listed the amount of money that Rainbow owes due to her last attempt to perform the firecracker. She got halfway through the process until she realized that she was flying towards a wall. All Rainbow could think about was what ridiculously high amounts of money they will charge her for that ugly wall. Rainbows thoughts trailed on until she was distracted by the sound of a familiar voice. "Woah Rainbow, what did you do to rack up a bill that high?!" A yellow Pegasus mare surprisingly asked. 'Should I answer, I don't want to start a conversation because I've already waited long enough for that old secretary to return. I guess it won't hurt to answer' Rainbow finally snapped out of her thoughts and started. "Well first off, that wall was in my w-" Rainbow stood speechless when she turned around and found Spitfire to be the pony that just asked her that. After moments of silence Spitfire said " So, you said something about you and a wall," Spitfire smirked trying to hold back a few chuckles. The secretary then cut in "Miss Dash, will you please just pay this 1000 bit bill and then you can get back to standing there doing absolutely nothing." Rainbow turned and started "Fine, and that's Rainbow Dash for you, Greatest Flier in Equestria!" The secretary smirked and stated "Your saying that now..... I'm sorry but you crashed into........ A wall. So therefore, your telling me that you're the greatest flier in Equestria?" All that could be heard was Spitfire cracking up while laying face first on the floor. "CAPTAIN SPITFIRE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Yelled a stallion who Rainbow Dash recognized as the Wonderbolts manager, Thunder Strike. Spitfire quickly popped off the floor to her regular relaxed standing position. "Do I need to send a different Wonderbolt to walk down the hall because the captain can't control herself?" Thunder Strike questionably asked while standing up in Spitfires face. "No, Sir!" Spitfire hastily replied. "Now, did you find some one to help you take care of......them while I wait for the mares to get done with their spa day?" He said while making an irritated face. "Sir, I am working on that now!" Spitfire proudly stated. "Good. I'll see you in a couple minutes!" Spitfire turned towards Rainbow to see her paying the bill while noticing Rainbow was breathing very heavily, like she was struggling. "You ok there?" Spitfire worriedly asked. Rainbow hesitated to answer but she eventually answered. "Did you not see how much they want from me to replace that stupid wall!" "True that. So are you busy starting tomorrow til Sunday?" Spitfire asked. "Hmmmm, well I have a lot of flying to practice but that is optional," Rainbow replied. 'Thunder Strike, sir, I think I found my helper' Spitfire cheerfully thought to herself. "Rainbow." "Yea?" "I have a question." Spitfire happily said.
