Part 7 // Story: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls 3: The Friendship Games! // by Tennis Match Fan //------------------------------// "Do us proud, Sour," Windlash told her, her new wings fluttering confidently. Pinkie snorted in her sleep again. Sour Sweet grinned as she lined up her gaze with the target. "Gumdrops!" she exclaimed brightly as she released it. The arrow flew straight to the target. Bulls-eye. The Mane 11 minus Pinkie groaned as Sour Sweet acquired pony ears, a pony tail, and a set of wings matching her skin color. "We're never gonna wake Pinkie now!" Applejack exclaimed, slumping down on the ground, her long pony tail curled round her feet. "We can't let her personality be drained away!" Sonata added nerviously. "Yes!" Sour Sweet announced triumphantly. The Mane 11 minus Pinkie looked back at the competition. They hadn't paid attention to the competition for the past two seconds. Sour had gotten three bullseye hits. Fluttershy bit her lip. "That's nine points for our team!" Windlash proclaimed triumphantly. "We win!" "No!" cried Rainbow Dash desperately. "You can't! Pinkie Pie!" "You give us our friend back right now!" Applejack exclaimed angrily, grabbing her bow. "There's more than one target I can shoot at, ya know!" "You wouldn't dare, not on school grounds!" Windlash taunted. "Actually, you lose," Zero interrupted. Windows glared at him. "Will you stay out of- wait, what?" "Sour Sweet was shooting for the Rainbooms," Silver Arrow explained. "What?" Lemon Zest gasped. "Not true!" Sugar Coat added crossly. Sour Sweet beamed sheepishly and shrugged. "Pinkie said she'd be my friend after this," she explained. "But I knew she wouldn't if her magic was taken away!" "Well, we still have another archer!" Windlash protested. "Flash Sentry!" "REALLY?" Flash squealed in a high pitched, fan-boying voice. Stars flashed in his eyes. "OMG! I won't fail you, Windlash! I promise!" Despite the intensity of the situation, Sonata, Rarity, Aria, Glasses, and Adagio gagged. "Can you believe this is what you'd have to put up with if you had actually married him?" Glasses remarked. Twilight stuck her tongue out. To put it simply, Flash lost. "We win!" Sunset yelled. "Give us back Pinkie Pie!" "Ha!" Windlash sneered. "You aren't getting her magic back!" She held up several red things. "Our pendants!" Adagio yelled, pointing in anger. "Flash must have given her the information!" Aria added. "Hey, you're smart!" Descent cried. "Now come and catch us!" Before the Mane 11 knew it, the Shadowcolts had jumped up on their motorcycles and sped away. "Sunset, Twilight, Glasses, Fluttershy, stay with Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash directed. "We'll go after the Shadowcolts!" "Who made you leader?" Adagio protested. "Yeah, I'm the smart one!" Glasses added. "Just go!" Rainbow Dash shouted, pointing to the motorcycles. She and Sonata got on one. Aria and Rarity got on another. Adagio and Applejack got on the final one. The six ponified girls sped off after the Shadowcolts on their motorcycles. "Lead them down an alleyway!" Applejack yelled to Rarity. "Rainbow, ya head them off on the right! I'll cover the left flank!" Rainbow nodded and did the "ehm" noise people do in anime like Pokemon whenever they nod. Applejack slammed her boot on the pedal and made a sharp right. "Watch the hair!" Adagio screeched. "Sorry!" Applejack yelped, not feeling too deeply about Adagio's dead skin cells but she still felt like it was the polite thing to do. Soon, she spotted Indigo Zap on a motorcycle up ahead. "There ya are." Applejack smirked, narrowed her eyes in concentration, and speed once more. "Hey!" Indigo screamed when AJ and Adagio pulled up next to her. "Get back to Canterlot High and heal Pinkie Pie!" Applejack screamed. "Yeah!" Adagio screamed. "What she said!" After a bunch of action scenes, Applejack and Rainbow and Rarity managed to bring all the Shadowcolts to a dead end. "We won! Fair and square!" Applejack yelled. "Give us Pinkie Pie's magic back!" Rainbow yelled, flying over to Windlash. Windlash's yellow eyes betrayed no fear. "Never!" she cried. She attempted to fly, but this being her first transformation, she had no idea what to do. Rainbow Dash, however did. "Look, girl, we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. GIVE HER BACK!" Rainbow's hair became a blazing fire. "Super Dashie!" Rarity and Sonata screamed. Now Windlash was terrified. "Alright, alright!" She agreed. "I'll come back with you and heal her!" Rainbow Dash smirked. "That's what I thought." She and her friends dragged the Shadowcolts back to campus. There, Windlash and the Shadowcolts performed an incantation over Pinkie's sleeping body. At first, Pinkie didn't stir. "Why- why isn't she waking?" Twilight asked nervously. "I don't know," Windlash snapped, "ask Miss Cheespuff over here." "Hey, I never did this stuff!" Adagio snapped. "That was a good insult, though," Aria added. "How come I never thought of it?" "Hi!" Pinkie suddenly jumped up. "Guys, I had the weirdest dream about bigfoot!" "Pinkie!" screamed all her friends. They rushed in for a hug, tears springing to the eyes of everyone. Silver Arrow smiled. "Another happy ending," she observed. "As for you, Windlash..." "Wait, what?" Windlash asked in disbelief. "You have no authority to give punishment! Heck, you obviously aren't even in their friend group!" Silver Arrow rolled her eyes. "That's where you're wrong." She smirked as pony ears winked into existence. A pair of extra sparkly wings took shape on her back. Her bow changed from teal to pink and red. Her outfit was transformed into a Greek style dress. "Whoa!" Sonata gasped, noticing the transformation. The rest of the Mane 11 turned to look. "Silver Arrow, Cupid." She pulled a bow into her quiver. "And if you don't want to be hopelessly in love with Flash Sentry for the rest of your life, you'd better start running." "WHAT THE HECK?" Windlash screamed. She ran.
