"Tomboys Don't Fall in Love!"

Chapter 9

"RARITY! Are you in here?!" Rainbow Dash yelled angrily, her temper rising each time she thought about...that.

"I'm here, Rainbow Dash. Calm down!" Rarity said, coming down the stairs of the boutique. She took one glance at Rainbow and assumed the worst.

"Rainbow, darling, what's wrong?" she asked, running over to her angry friend.

"NOTHING'S WRONG, Rarity," she said, gritting her teeth."I just came over here to ask for a favor."

"Mhm," Rarity replied, not believing a word she said."So, what is this, 'favor' you want to ask me?"

"Make me beautiful," Rainbow said flatly, walking deeper into the shop and looking at the clothing Rarity designed. Rarity's eyes widened as she was calculating what her friend just said. She turned around and walked over to her.

"Are you feeling alright, Dash? Because I never thought that YOU of all people would ask such a question. Besides, you're already beautiful in your own unique way," she asked.

"Apparently not for Soarin," she mumbled, picking out a pink dress with polka dots on them."You think this one's right for me?"

"Rainbow, tell me what's wrong," she asked, taking the dress away from her and putting it on a chair. Rainbow kicked the wall and hugged Rarity, a single tear streaming down on her face.

"He doesn't like me, Rarity. He never did, and he never will!" she cried.

"Oh you poor thing! But that does not mean you have to change for him, darling. If he doesn't like you, then he doesn't like you. But I'm sure that's not the case. Maybe I can talk to him and figure this mess out," Rarity said, petting Rainbow's head.

"You don't have to. He's already going to a restaurant with this girl. It's too late. And just when I thought he....he liked me," she sniffled.

"Now Rainbow Dash, do you know exactly what happened?" Rarity asked. She knew something was a bit....off. She remembered that Soarin told her that he really liked Rainbow, so it all had to be a joke.

"Yes. S-she already asked him out on a d-date. How can I not know?" She responded, digging her head into Rarity's chest.

"Sweetie, I don't think you know the whole story. This all has to be wrong," Rarity said, pulling Rainbow off of her,"you still shouldn't change for someone else. That just seems desperate."

"I don't care how it seems! I just want him to like me!" She slightly yelled, wiping her remaining tears away.

"But he does like you. FOR YOU," Rarity said, trying her best to give her advice.

"Apparently he doesn't if he's just going to accept a date from another girl," she said, walking in circles.

"Rainbow, stop," she said flatly, causing Rainbow to stop walking."Do you really want this?"

"Yes, I do," Rainbow said as if she was pleading for her help.

"Are you sure?" She asked, trying to get the correct answer out of her. Rainbow looked around the room to see all types of colors and make-up and curling irons. She was starting to second guess her thoughts.

Do I REALLY want this? she asked herself.

"Rainbow, I need an answer,"Rarity said, causing her to snap out of her thoughts.

"No," she said. She walked out of the boutique without a word. Rarity looked back at the door.

"Oh Rainbow, please don't do what I think you're about to do," she said to herself.

"Sis! I cleaned your room for you!" Sweetie Belle shouted. Rarity's eyes widened and she prayed that she didn't touch her dresses.

"Please don't mess with the designs! Please!" She mumbled as she walked up the stairs.


Rainbow kept trying to call her friend Spitfire, but she wouldn't answer.

"Probably practicing for the next big game," she said, throwing her phone on the bed. She jumped on the bed as well, picking her phone up and looking at the picture of her and Soarin at the park.

"Why didn't I ask him at the party?!" She screamed, then shut her mouth to be quiet. She was hoping that her brother didn't hear her.

Unfortunately, it was her unlucky day.

"What's got your goat?" Blitz asked, standing at the doorway."Your little boyfriend made you mad?"

"Can you not come in right now? I'm not in the mood for you antics," Rainbow said, putting her phone down and turning the other way. Blitz walked in and sat on the edge of her bed.

"Tell me what's wrong," Blitz said. Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Can you please just, leave me alone?" Rainbow asked aggressively. Blitz shook her leg.

"C'mon, tell me. Was it Soarin? Did he hurt you? Because I swear if he did-"

"Woah! Since when do you care about me?" Rainbow asked, sitting up.

"I've always cared about you. I just don't show it. I'm your big brother. I'm not supposed to show you that I care about you. That breaks the bro/sis code, ya know?" Blitz said. Rainbow took a deep breath and started to talk.

"Soarin got asked out by another girl, and I don't know what to do to break them up," Rainbow sighed. Blitz put an arm around her.

"Told you he wasn't the right one," Blitz smiled. Rainbow pushed him off of her.

"Can't you be serious for one second?!" She said, crossing her arms and pouting. Blitz laughed.

"Sorry! Anyway, you shouldn't worry about it. It's just one date. What could go wrong?"

"They could go on another. And another. And then they'll be girlfriend and boyfriend. Then he'll propose to her. And then they get married. And then they have children. And I'll be a DISTANT MEMORY!" She shouted.

"Calm down, Dash. How about this: we'll go to wherever they're going and spy on them. And if they do anything romantic, we'll find a way to stop them. Alright?"

Rainbow sighed."Alright, we'll do it." They high fived each other, and Blitz walked out of the room.

"Huh, maybe he's not that bad of a brother," Rainbow said.
