//------------------------------// // First move // Story: Spike and Scootaloo's Small Adventure // by TheLoveless //------------------------------// “So Spike is with Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash asked, trying to confirm what the princess had said. “And neither one has made a move on the other!?” More shocked, and interested in the simple fact, than interested in their safety. “Yes, and I’m just waiting for one of them to make a move on the other.” Luna said, happily stroking Tia the locus, “I’d be interesting.” Curious as for their thoughts, she took the risk of ruining the childrens relationship. “Who do you think will make the first move on the other?” Both mares confident, and overjoyed at the thought of their, “child” taking the other along for a joyride excited them. With almost perfect synchronization, they called out, “obviously my-.” Stopping at the sound of another overconfident mare, the stared each other down. “Spike obviously is going to make the first move.” Acting cocky as most eggheads did, she pulled up a little fact on Spike, “he even went after Rarity. And even after being rejected, he still went after her!” Not hearing any of it, Rainbow decided it was time to step it up, “Scootaloo is so going to subdue Spike. Who wouldn’t fall for her?! Only reason i adopted her was because of her persistence.” Finding a slight need to over exaggerate by just a little bit, she decided to brag. “She even got me to adopt her in ten seconds flat.” A good ten hours had passed of the two mares bragging about their child being better, when luna decided to take the cake. “I think they are going to be respectful and let the other make the first move.” Getting angry glares from both the ponies, she backed away. “We could just wait till something happens. Right?” Rainbow Dash cracked her neck, “then it’s a bet. If I’m right, you’ll have to let me check out the audio tapes you have hidden in the back of the library.” “Those are meant for the blind, it woun’t help you much. And if i win…,” Thinking her choice over, she chose the best option out of all her mind. Far more important to her than the 200 bit late fine she had on all the Daring Doo books and way bigger than the promised picnic that never happened. “If i win, you’ll have to cut your hair straight.” Rainbow Dash, shocked by the wager, accepted the challenge. “If you’re both wrong, you both have to pay for any wedding cost they might have later on.” Getting ignored, she looked to Tia. “Atleast you heard me little Tia!” petting the bugs head, she smiled, and waited for the first move.
