Chapter Seven
Last time, we left that class as they were headed to see Miss, Rainbow Dash and now we join them just as they arrive
"... and at the very least she should have...." said Rarity as she and Mrs Sharp-Pen spoke to one another as they approached a large oak surrounded by a string of young pegasi and one older one.(1)
"Alright troops, listen up," said the older one, her mane and tail seeming to cover the entire light spectrum which somehow seemed to work rather well with her cyan coloured fur.
"You all been sent here because you are going to some of the best flyers in Equestria at some point, your teachers and parents see this too, that is why they sent you to be taught by me. The greatest flyer in Equestria Ra..."
"RAINBOW DASH!" screamed a feminine voice.
"Oh jeez," thought the mare as she floated down to meet the voice.
"What do you want Rarity? I'm sorta busy, if you hadn't notice.... what's with the mare and kids?"
"If, you remember correctly, Twilight told you that you would be responsible for teaching these fillies and colts about the different ways they can find out what their good at, so that they may try and get their cutie marks."
"... OOOoooohhhh, that."
"Yes, that," replied Rarity sounding somewhat exasperated.
"Well, you see, I kinda, sorta, mighta; really shouldn't have but did, slightly agreed to take some of the kids from the Cloudsdale Flight Academy."
"Deary me, well I suppose you'll just to make do then won't you?" she said as turned towards Mrs Sharp-Pen whispering something along the lines of "Good luck," to her.
"Ugh, I suppose I'll just work it out somehow," mumbled Rainbow Dash.
"Mrs, can we come down now?" called one of the pegasi.
"... Oh yeah... might as well."
* * *
"Now with introductions out of the way, here's the game plan," began Rainbow Dash. "You're going to split into pairs but it has to be somepony from the other class, are we clear?"
"Crystal," replied both classes as colts and fillies broke up to pair up with one another.
"Hey, you got a partner?" asked a filly, hovering above the blue colt.
"No, I don't," mumbled the colt.
"One more time?"
"No," he replied barely any louder than the last time.
"Ugh, I'll go find somepony that can actually talk," she muttered flying away.
"Oh... okay then," mumbled the blue colt looking around, seeing various other ponies joining up with one another.
"Uh, hey, you wanna pair up?" asked another voice, causing the colt to look upwards, seeing a dark blue pegasi with a blonde mane that looked somewhat like a helmet.
"... Uh, I think we might have to."(2)
"Why's that?" asked the colt, somewhat confused.
"Everypony else has paired up," replied the blue colt, pointing a hoof towards the line of colts and fillies, standing in twos.
"Ah, well we better join them then, eh?" said the pegasus.
* * *
"Alright kids, here's the idea, each pair is going to get a hoop, the pegasus' task is to catch the other pony and get the hoop off of them, any questions?"
"Isn't it kinda unfair since we can only run but they can run and fly, therefore making it so we have to advance over more complicated terrain faster, therefore giving us an unfair disadvantage?" asked one filly.
".... What she said," said her partner.
"... I suppose we could give the hoop holder a twenty-second head start then?"
"That should be suffice," replied the filly.
"... Well then... run."(3)
* * *
"Run, run, run, run," thought the blue colt, ducking into some bushes as his partner whizzed past him, shaking the bush.
"Jeez, he caught up already?" thought the colt, peeping out of the bush.
"Hey man."
"ARGH!" screamed the colt, falling backwards as he saw a blue form descend from above.
"Not very fast are you?" asked the blue pegasus, sitting down beside him.
"Not really.... so what's your name?" asked the colt.
"The names Blue or Blue Breeze."
"You're a blue pegasus... called Blue Breeze?" chuckled the blue colt.
"Got a problem with it?" replied Blue with an eyebrow raised.
"Not really, hardly any worse than mine."
"And that'd be?"
"Es.."
"HELP!" screamed a certain colt as he ran by the duo, being closely followed by a somewhat pissed looking colt.
"And that'll be Spark," chuckled the colt.
"Being chased by Wing Glimmer... poor guy."
"What's so bad about her?"
"Ever hear of Roid Rage?"
"The Hoof-Fighter?"
"Yeah, that's his daughter."
".... He's dead."
"Very. Well, shall we head back then, Slowpoke?"
"Yeah we probably shou... wait a minute..."
"See you there."
"HEY!"
* * *
"Hi Mrs."
"Ah Blue, nice to see you back so soon," replied Rainbow Dash. "Speaking of which, where's your partner?"
"He should be right ther.. oh there he is," said Blue pointing towards a small blue dot charging towards them.
"I'm.... gonna.... break... oh Celestia it burns," panted the colt as he approached Blue and Rainbow Dash.
* * *
"And I think that's everybody," said Mrs Sharp-Pen counting up the colts and fillies in her class.
"Alright then, where you headed next?"
"Well, we're off to the local inn tonight and then we're visiting a Miss Applejack."
"Oh right, I know AJ, she stays up on Sweet Apple Acres you can't miss it.
"Ah, well, say goodbye children."
"Bye!" called the class as they walked away, a few waves between them and the others.
"So, how'd it go?" asked the blue colt, walking with Spark.
".... Bending..... lots a bending."
"... Okay then." said the colt as they and the rest of class walked into the middle of the town just as several books came hurtling towards them at deadly speeds.
*WHAM*
