"Sunny! Ride that wave!"
"Woo! Check out that flank!"
"Sunny! You're so awesome!"
The white earth pony relished in the adoration of the stallions gathered to watch her surf. She flipped and winked at one of the colts. she wore a red spotted bikini and sandals, and her sweat made her look shiny in the sun.
"Dude! She's checking you out!" one of them elbowed the stallion who Sunny Daze had winked at. He blushed, and kicked him away. Honestly, she didn't actually like any of them. Part of being famous was having a bunch of adoring fans following her around. Plus, she was so famous that Queen Diamond Tiara might come out of her castle to watch. She never came out, always sulking around.
Some ponies said she only surfed to get the attention of the stallions, but the truth was she really loved surfing. The fact that all the stallions loved to watch was just a coincidence. And Sunny milked it for all it was worth. She was their godess, and they were her adoring peasants. Er, fans.
She looked to the beach at the other ponies on the shoreline, waving at the fillies and adoring fans. She noticed Daffidazey and a couple of her other friends. Daffidazey was more of a frenemy to her.
She surfed to the shore and trotted over to the smitten stallions, and they all crowded around her like she was a magnet and they were paper clips. She waved to Daffidazey as she told the stallions to go get her some lemonade, tagging it with a little bribe about straw sharing, witch she found tame compared to the mean slurs everypony seemed to call her.
"Showing off your 'stuff' again, Sunny?" Daffy commented, a slight annoyance in her voice. She looked up at Sunny grumpily.
"Oh, lighten up old timer! What's a few stallions between friends?" Sunny joked, elbowing Daffy. Apparently Daffy didn't get the joke. She gave her an annoyed look.
"So, how's your hair business, bestie? I bet it's a 'cut' above average?" Sunny tried to lighten the mood.
"Ha ha, very funny." Daffy grumped, looking at her with contempt.
Sunny couldn't understand why Daffy hated her soooo much! She never did anything to hurt her, did, she? Daffy worked at a hair salon, for pony's sake, and everypony knows Sunny never went there!
"Hey, maybe you could come surf with me sometime!" Sunny suggested, smiling. Her friend really needed to get out more. No wonder she was so small minded, closed up in that shop all day! "Who knows, maybe you'll even get a boyfriend! Um, no offfence." Sunny tried to joke, but it only seemed to make Daff even angrier.
"Well, looks like your boy toys are back!!!! Hope you have a good swim!" Daff yelled angrily, stomping off in the direction of the Surf Shop.
Sunny stared back at the shop in confusion as the stallions sidled up to her. Why did she have to be so mean? What did Sunny ever do to her? All she ever did was try to be friendly, and all she got was mean glaces and rude remarks.
"So, how's about that straw, huh?" one of the colts said, pushing the drink over to Sunny. It's straw was covered with stallion drool already. Seriously? she thought. Just like them to take the first sip. She tenatively sipped from the straw, and the stallions all smiled.
"Ok boys, you've had your fun, now go along." Sunny smiled,and the stallions trotted away, exept for one. Seaspray, her coltfriend.
"Nice moves out there!" he smiled at her, pulling up a chair to the small table at which she was sitting. "Too bad about that party crasher."
"Oh, hi Seaspray." Sunny smiled, looking at him. But her attention was on Daffy, that mean mane stylist. She was so mean to her, even with her kindness.
Why did she hate her, and what could she be planning now?
