"Two more around the track!" The coach said as everyone was running outside. He decided it would be a good day to go since it was warm. Everyone was already sweating, and their gym uniforms showed it.
"This is torture!" Rarity said as she jogged the rest of the way.
"At least we didn't go OUTSIDE of the school this time. That's what I call torture," Fluttershy said, jogging along with her already tired friend.
"You guys area bunch of slowpokes. C'mon, pick up the speed. We're almost done," Rainbow said, passing her friends in a breeze.
"Easy for you to say.You run in the park everyday," Rarity said, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
"Rainbow's right, guys! Pick up the pace, and we'll be done in no time," Pinkie said, hopping around the track.
"You guys irritate me," Applejack said, rolling her eyes at her friends.
"Well, not everyone's as fast as you, Applejack," Rarity said, her knees starting to wobble as if she was going to fall.
"Everyone stop! Back inside," Coach said, pointing towards the doors that led to the inside of the building. One by one, everyone went through the doors.
"Happy now, Rarity?" Rainbow asked.
"Very."
"I'll bet you all know what this ball means," Coach said. Everyone was standing on the black line that stretched out towards the ends of the middle of the gym. He was standing in front of all of them. The students groaned as they were about to pay Coach's favourite game.
Dodgeball.
Coach counted the numbers of students he had."We're gonna count of by fours, alright?" He pointed to each student as they called out their numbers, hopping that they would be in the same group as their friends. It was always a treat when you were on the same team as them.
After the last person softly shouted the number four, coach directed each of the numbers to go to which ever corner he pointed out to. She beamed as she saw that Pinkie and Soarin were one of the Twos that were called out. She knew that they Pinkie could throw like a pro, even when she doesn't mean to, and that Soarin has aim. She that she was on the right team.
"Teams One and Three, you're up!" Coach yelled as he blowed the whistle. Both teams got the appropiate supplies and laid them out of the same black line that they had once stood on. Then they walked backwards until they thought where they were standing was a good enough spot.
"Alright! Ready, Set," Coach blew the whistle as the slightly tired teens ran towards the balls and started thhrowing them at each other. Rainbow laughed softly as she watched Rarity's funny way of dodging the balls.
"Ha! I'm surprised she hasn't been touched by one yet," Rainbow said to Soarin, who slightly smiled at that comment.
"I think she's doing great! Look, Dash, she even caught one!" Pinkie said, pointing towards a shocked Rarity, who was holding the red ball.
"I-I caught it. I CAUGHT IT! OMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYG-" suddenly, as she was jumping for joy, a ball hit her on her left side. She dropped the ball and started to cry.
"But I caught it! It's not fair!" She yelled as she went to the other side of the gym with part of her team.
"Aww. That's too bad,"Pinkie said. She started to yell 'It's okay Rarity' across the room. Coach gave her the stink-eye, and she slowly moved backwards into the wall. Rarity pouted and crossed her arms.
Rainbow laughed."That was really funny to watch," She said, putting one arm on Soarin's shoulder. Two minutes later, Coach blew his whistle to signal that the game was over.
"Team 3 wins!" he shouted. Everyone on that team rejoiced and gave each other high fives. Applejack threw her hat down, and Rarity started to get angry.
"Who cares?! 'Just a silly game anyway," Applejack said, although, deep down inside, she hated herself for losing.
Everyone else on her team groaned as they switched sides with Team 4.
"Team 2, get yer butts out there!" Coach said, blowing his whistle.
"He really likes his whistle," Rainbow said, getting into position.
"Yeah. Think he'll marry it?" Soarin asked.
"If he does, I'm TOTALLY hosting the reception," Pinkie said. Then everyone started to laugh.
"Alright! Ready, Set," Coach blew his whistle again as everyone ran towards the balls, picking them up and starting to throw them at each other.
"The great and powerful Trixie will make this ball hit your intestines!" Trixie shouted as she hurtled a ball towards Pinkie. She jumped high, doing a Chinese split in the sky as the ball passed beneath her legs.
"But...how is that even POSSIBLE?!" Trixie asked herself. Pinkie jumped down and shrugged. She then threw a ball straight at Trixie's legs, hitting them in the knees.
"Oh come on!" she said as she stomped to the sidelines. Pinkie rejoiced as she caught a ball the was hurtling towards her.
"Great job, Pinkie!" Rainbow yelled as she threw a ball at Carrot Top, hitting her in the arm. She walked towards the sidelines along with Trixie.
"Only four more rookies to go, guys!" Soarin said, throwing a ball at Spitfire and missed.
"Man!" He said, grabbing a ball that was behind him. Before he could throw it, Spitfire got him in the back. He dropped the ball and threw his hands up at her, then walked on the other side of the sidelines.
Two minutes later, There were only two people standing. Spitfire and Rainbow Dash. Both teams were cheering for their teammate as the threw the red balls ferociously, missing each time.
"Let's go Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie screamed to the top her lungs.
"C'mon Rainbow. You got this," she said to herself. They threw their balls at the same time, both hitting each other in the face. They both fell on the floor and hit their head, unconcious.
Everyone gasped. Two people from each team ran to comfort them as Coach ran to get the nurse.
"You just have to be so competitive," Soarin said, holding Dash's head up.
