the next morning Rainbow anxiously walked up the the bench and could see them all giving her strange looks "I have been hearing things about you..." Rudd looked at her whit a smirk as he said it...his arm draped around belle like a clings stole, rainbow added two and two together and decided to comfort Shikari later. "fillyfooler!" he chuckled
Rainbow just ignored Rudd's cruel jeers and the cold eyes of seemingly countless ponies and continued to walk. She stopped when she reached the final bench as Shikari and her best friend Sherry were sitting there. "Dash, this is my friend Sherry." Shikari told Rainbow. "She's been my best friend since as long as I can remember." Sherry looked up and smiled.
"how do you do" asked rainbow in a low voice, sherry simply smiled back, her curly, hay colder hair swaying in the sun.."anyway, I am sorry to hear...well SEE about Rudd and belle" shikari looked to the floor and sherry snarled, her bright pretty features moulding into disgust and the mention of belles name.
"Please, don't talk about her... After she showed us her true colours..." Shikari just continued to stare at the ground with a forlorn expression, as the memories of her now ex-coltfriend came flooding back to her . Rainbow looked over to see Rudd and Belle kissing over-dramatically while Belle's friends watched intently.
"WOW!..that is something no one should see!" Rainbow sighed "is Orchid here yet, she is one off belles followers, she must already know...why did she not tell me!" she looked at the two filly's a glance "sorry but we have been arguing...a lot...all the time..." so yeah, that is not going well...someone else is showing there true colourer..."
"Oh yeah, you two are going out aren't you?" Sherry said. "Well... Yeah, I guess. She's not been very enthusiastic as of late...She's always with Belle's group."
"Oh, I see..." Sherry sighed. "See! That Belle's so manipulative! She can get anypony to believe anything she says!"
"Well, it worked with Rudd..." Shikari said. "He still thinks the world of her, even when she's cheated on him at last twice!" Shikari's voice began to grow louder with every word. Rainbow shook her head in disbelief. "I see what you guys mean now... She's awfully controlling."
"Yeah, but I've realized how much of a bucking flip-flop Rudd is too." Shikari said. "Anyway, I've completely moved on from him now, besides, I have someone else in mind." Sherry rolled her eyes.
Rainbow dash gasped playfully "is it that red headed stallion with the glasses?" I see the way you look at him sometimes! come on sweetie is is SOOOOOO obvious!" she then stopped and looked into her direction "but..I met this colt and I think you would like him!"
"Who is it? Is he pretty?" Shikari asked, interested.
"Oh boy, here we go." Sherry sighed, resting her face on her hoof.
"come on tell me!" teased rainbow, perching besides her friends.
"You're supposed to be telling me, silly!" Shikari laughed. "C'mon, who's this colt then?"
"is it that colt PEER? I saw you looking at him yesterday..." she giggled in a sing song voice, Shikari's cheeks turned crimson and she mutters in a quiet voice,
"might be..." Rainbow and sherry starting giggling until a shadow coved them, Orchid was stood there smiling, but not the beaming smile that made her beautiful, just the small curve that was forced onto her lips by the dread of many questions that would follow if she looked in any way upset.
"morning...are you coming to the cantine whit me?" she asked ignoring Sherry's steely glares.
"umm..yeah" she smiled at her friends and followed.
