It was Friday and Rainbow Dash's back leg kept shaking. She was full of anxiety because she couldn't wait to play ball with Soarin'.
The bell had rung and Rainbow Dash raced over to the closet and took out the red ball. She came bounding over to Soarin'. He laughed with excitement and they both sat down and began to push the ball back and forth to each other. Rainbow Dash couldn't stop smiling. She had the little colt hooked on this game and it made her day that much brighter to see Soarin' smile and laugh.
Rainbow Dash suddenly jolted up with a look of seriousness on her face. She waved her hoof frantically in the air.
"Yes Rainbow Dash, what is it dear?" the teacher asked.
"I have to go potty," Rainbow said.
The teacher took the bathroom pass out of her drawer and handed it to Rainbow. "Don't forget to wash your hooves!" the teacher reminded the little filly.
Rainbow Dash took the pass and went inside the bathroom.
When she came out she was horrified at what she saw. She dropped the bathroom pass and it made a loud noise against the tiled floor.
Soarin' was sitting with another filly and was rolling the ball back and forth with her. They were both giggling and smiling at each other.
Rainbow Dash ran over to the two and put her two front hooves to her head in distress. "Soarin'! I thought I told you that this was our special game!" She then looked at the filly and said, "You stole my somepony special! Give him back! This is our special game!"
Soarin' nor the other filly didn't respond to Rainbow Dash. They just kept rolling the ball back and forth to each other and continued to giggle.
Rainbow Dash ran to the teacher and burrowed her face into her front leg. "I can't look anymore teacher. Make it stop! Make it stop!"
The teacher patted her on the back and said, "I'm so sorry Rainbow, but sometimes other ponies just aren't interested in being friends or they may want to take turns playing with another pony. I think Soarin' might get a little bit too distracted sometimes. Maybe it's time you let him go and make a new friend."
Rainbow looked up at the teacher and said, "No! My Daddy says I must win his heart and that the only way to a stallion's heart is through his stomach." Of course, Rainbow didn't know the meaning of those phrases, but she kept saying them.
The teacher laughed and said, "Ok, Rainbow. I won't tell you to give up on your dreams. Maybe one day he will understand."
When school ended, Rainbow Dash walked over to her Father with gloom in her heart.
"Where's your special friend Rainbow?" her Father asked.
"I-I-I," Rainbow stuttered. "I need to win his heart back. He was playing with another filly at recess today. He doesn't like me anymore."
Rainbow's Father laughed. "Aw, come on kid! Just because he played with another filly doesn't mean he doesn't like you! Let's find him and set up a play date with his Mother."
Rainbow turned around and her stomach did flip flops. She felt like she was going to throw up at what she saw.
There, walking out of the door was Soarin' holding hooves with that filly he was playing ball with earlier.
Soarin's Mother came over and she met with the Father of the little filly who was holding Soarin's hoof. "Awwwwww! Don't they look so adorable together!?" Soarin's Mother said.
"They sure do! It looks like you found yourself a new playmate sweetie." The Father of the little filly said.
"Would you like to come over for dinner? We can have a play date today!" Soarin's Mother said.
"That sounds wonderful! Thank you for inviting her over! I can let her stay for a few hours. I am not too busy today," the Father of the little filly said.
The two little ponies hopped on their parents backs and off they flew to Soarin's house.
Rainbow held onto her chest as if she were about to experience a heart attack.
Rainbow's Father sighed. "Come on Rainbow. Let's get home. I think you had enough trauma for today. I'll take you out for a special treat tonight. I am so sorry sweetheart."
Rainbow muttered the words out loud as she watched Soarin' disappear into the distance, "He will be mine one day. One day he will be mine."
