Chapter 5

"You think she's gonna be okay?" Applejack asked. Her and the rest of her friends were in the nurse's office. Rainbow had gotten a head concussion, along with Spitfire.

"She will be just fine. She just can't play in tomorrow's game," Nurse Redheart said.

"But she has to play! If she doesn't, we'll lose for sure!" Soarin' said.

"Don't worry, sugarcube. Maybe Spitfire can play tomorrow," Applejack said.

"No, she can't. She had gotten a head concussion as well. They probably won't be able to play or practice for a week," Redheart said.

"We're gonna get crushed!" Soarin' said falling to his knees.

"Oh, stop being such a baby! You have other great people on the team, right?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, only THREE teammates including me!" Soarin said, having a mini breakdown.

"Maybe I can play! I love soccer!" Pinkie said, raising her hand up so she could be picked to play.

"Aren't you one of the cheerleaders?" Soarin' asked.

"Nah, Just President of the Pep Club!" Pinkie squealed and did a split."Go Wondercolts!"

"I seriously think you should join cheerleading," Soarin' said, and was then snapped back into reality. Only half of the team was able to play.

"Hey, ah know a couple o' fellers that would love to play soccer," Applejack said.

"Are they good?" Soarin asked.

"'Course they are. They couldn't join the team though 'cause they had other important things to do," Applejack assured him with a smile.

"Really? Who are they?"

"Why, it's Misty Fly and Choud Chaser," Applejack said.

"O-okay. That's good. We got a team," Soarin said, standing up. He asked the nurse if they could see the two.

"You all must be getting to class. You can see them after school, alright?" Redheart said. The room was noisy with sighs as all seven teenagers walked out of her office. She closed the door behind them.

"Now, time to watch "The Black Lines!" She said, clapping her hands and running to her desk to watch her show.


"Ugh, why are we learning this stuff again?" Fleet foot asked as she tapped her pencil on the desk.

"You should really stop or the teacher will embarrass you," Rarity advised her as Ms. Cherilee was giving her friend the stink eye.

"It's just so boring!" Fleet foot yelled a whisper.

"And what exactly is so boring about it, Miss Fleetfoot?" Ms. Cheerilee asked. The whole class looked at her as Fleetfoot's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Um....nothing, Ms. Cheerilee!" Fleetfoot said, sinking down in her seat.

"Mhm," Cheerilee smirked. She then went back to teaching her lesson on the book they were all reading.

"Told ya," Rarity said. Fleetfoot sank in her seat even lower.

"This is gonna be a looooonnnnggg half day," she said, finally sitting up straight and jotting notes down along the way.


"Ugh, what happened?" Rainbow had finally awoken from her slumber. She was sitting on a white, sheet less bed. She rubbed her head as it was pounding inside. She then looked at the clock to see that it was a quarter to three.

"Sweet! School's almost out!" She said, congratulating herself for sleeping THAT long.

"'Bout time you woke up," a voice said.

"Spitfire? What are you doing here?" She asked. She was holding a magazine in her hands.

"You hit me in the face with a ball, remember?" She said not-so-cheerfully.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that by the way," Rainbow said.

"Mhm. Me too," Spitfire said, still reading the magazine. The nurse came in to see the two already up.

"Ah, you two are awake. Your friends wanted to see you," She said, moving to the side so their friends could come in.

"Oh my goodness! Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked as she ran towards her injured friend.

"Calm down, Fluttershy. You know I'm as tough as a horse," she said with pride.

"Spitfire! You alright?!" The whole team ran to her side as she tried to assure them that she felt just fine.

"Okay, everyone. Why don't you continue this reunion outside. But before you do, I have to tell you're dear friends about their prescriptions," Nurse Redheart said. All but three walked out of the room.

"That goes for you too, Pinkie," Redheart said.

"Aww," she sighed, walking out of the room.

"Now, you both cannot play tomorrow for starters-"

"WHAT?!" They both yelled.

"You don't understand, our team needs us!" Rainbow said, panting.

"Yeah!"

"I'm sorry, but you playing in the game tomorrow can affect you heads,"Redheart said.

"But we play with our feet! How can our heads get hurt?" Spitfire asked.

"You could crash into someone, making your concussion worst," Redheart said,"No playing on the field, understood?"

Both nodded their heads in agreement.

"Good. Second thing, you are both excused from physical education until your heads get better," Redheart said.

"Aw what? But P.E. is like my favorite class!" Rainbow said.

"Well, you should've thought of that before you hit each other in the face with a dodgeball," she said. Both grunted.

"One last thing, you guys have detention next week."

"What for?!" Spitfire asked.

"Hitting someone in the face with a dodgeball is against the rules. Don't worry, though. Next week you guys don't have school for two days," Redheart said.

"Whoopee," Rainbow said sarcastically.

"Oh? Would you like to start today?"

"What I meant was, hooray!" Rainbow said, getting out of the bed, along with Spitfire.

"Alright. You two be careful now," Redheart called out after them as they walked out of her office.


"It's too bad you can't play tomorrow," Soarin said. The two were walking home together as everyone else parted ways.

"It's okay, I guess. The thing I'm really mad about is having to go to detention for getting hit in the face," Rainbow said with a sigh.

"It's only three days. I think you can last that long," Soarin' said, chuckling.

"What are you laughing about?" Rainbow asked.

"You got hit in the face with a ball!" Soarin said, laughing out loud now. Rainbow punched him in the stomach playfully.

"It's not funny," Rainbow said.

"When you think about it, it is," Soarin' said, trying not to laugh again. They approached Rainbow's house.

"Hey, wanna come in?" She asked.

"Nah. I don't think your brother likes me that much," Soarin' said.

"Blitz? He likes you. He just thinks you're a wimp," she said, giggling."Woah."

"What?"

"I've never giggled before. Well I did but when I was only a baby," she said.

"It's normal for a girl to giggle every once in a while," Soarin' said.

"But it's not normal for me!" Rainbow slightly yelled. She grabbed his shirt so she can look at him from up close."What do you think it means?!"

"I don't know! Dashie?"

"Yeah?"

"I think....you're blushing."

All of a sudden, she noticed his big, green, beautiful eyes staring at her, a little frightened. She let go of his shirt and put her hands on her head. She turned away from him. She could feel her blush getting even more red. Then something weird happened. She looked at him again, but instead, he seemed...to be blushing too. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close. They were both looking in each other's eyes. Their faces were getting closer by inches until their lips-

"Gah! I-I gotta go. See you later!" She said as she zoomed into her house. Soarin' looked at her house. Confused as ever.

"Uh..okay?" Soarin said as he walked away.


"W-what's happening to me, Blitz?! I was giggling then blushing then imagining things! It was just so weird!" Rainbow told her brother.

"Hmm," he mumbled.

"What? What is it?" She asked her older brother.

"Seems to me like you got a crush, lil sis," he said, smirking.

"What?! No way! Impossible!" She said, but she thought, Could I have a crush? But who would I even have a-a-.

"Crap." She said aloud.

"Crap indeed," Blitz said, smiling wide.

"S-shut up!" Rainbow said, running to her room as her brother chuckled.

"She's a sucker for Soarin'!" Blitz shouted, along with chuckles.

"Are not!" Rainbow shouted as she slammed her door.

"Aww, don't deny it, Rainbow. You got it bad," Blitz said through her door.

"I do not," Rainbow said.

"What was that you imagined again?" Blitz asked.

"I'm not telling you."

"Was it you being all kissy face with him?"

She blushed.

"It was, wasn't it?"

She blushed harder,"Get away from my door!"

"What ever you say, Ms. I Love Soarin'," he chuckled. She growled.

"I do not like him," she mumbled, but deep down inside, she knew there was a voice inside her saying,

Yes I do.
