Yeah, I was shocked to find out she had one too.
Rainbow and I weren't best friends, I'd never go so far as to call us that. After all, I never showed up in the movies (fourth wall break) but I got along really well with her. I knew half of all her favorite stuff and I could match her in any game we played. I knew there were things we didn't know about each other but I couldn't keep my eyes from bugging when she brought over a guy to me and introduced him as Silver Point, her boyfriend. 
He was eighteen, a year older than us, and from Manehatten. Apparently he was where Rainbow's hostility for Manehatten High came from as he was the captain of their main sports team: The Shadowbolts. Even though they had that intense rivalry between them, they got along. Just like Rainbow and me. Looking at the gray-skinned guy with a white mullet (I kid you not, he had a mullet), I couldn't help but feel emasculated. Where I was a physically fit athlete/nerd, he was a buff, all-meat-diet man. It didn't help when Snips, Snails and Sugar scoped me out and came over to say 'hey'. Silver look one bemused look at them and walked away with his arm around Rainbow. 
Sugar whined about why she had to be there and Snips reminded her that their parents entrusted him to watch her. He cast a warning glare at Snails.
"How's your girlfriend?" Snails asked.
"She's not my girlfriend," I stated. "She's doing fine." I looked around for her.
I found her a little way off with her sisters. Adagio and Sonata were flirting with some of the guys from Manehatten High that hadn't heard about the Battle. Everyone who had, gave them a wide berth, avoiding them like the plague. Aria hung a few feet away from them with Sunset.
"Does she hate you?" Snips wondered.
"She kissed him last time, remember?" Snails reminded him.
"Maybe she came to her senses," he reasoned.
"Uh... Snails," Sugar said. "Could you... show me where the bathroom is?"
"S... sure," Snails replied following behind as she walked away.
The intercom sounded asking all the athletes to line up for the first race.
"Good luck," Snips said and ran after his sister yelling that she went to school with them and she knew where the bathroom was.
I made my way to the race track. Just my luck, I was lined up with Silver Point.
"Hey," I greeted.
He grunted.
"Rainbow's boyfriend, right?"
"You got a problem?" he challenged.
"None at all," I held up my hands in submission. 
"Dash talks a lot about you," he said none too happily. "Legacy Lost, was it?"
"Lost Legacy."
"On your marks!" Coach announced from the sides.
"You a good friend of hers?"
"I guess. We get along."
"Get set!"
"Well, you need to know that I don't like sharing my property."
"Property?"
"Go!"
We took off. There were three other guys from Manehatten in the race and two guys from Canterlot but I only focused on Silver. This guy seriously, without a hint of humor on his face, called Rainbow Dash his property. Maybe it was a kink of hers. Outside of our regular soccer games and whatever we said during them, I didn't know anything about her. After all, she did hate girly monikers, maybe she liked being dominated. Then why was I getting so angry? My feet dug into the ground like hooves as I pushed against the wind. Silver was ahead of me but I was gaining. Everyone else was lagging behind but I wasn't aiming to beat them. Why did my desire to overtake Silver feel so personal? I mean, even if he was being disrespectful to Rainbow, what business was it of mine? 
"You're friends," Common Sense answered. "What more reason do you need?"
"But she likes him," I retorted.
"She doesn't know how he talks about her when she's not around," Common Sense responded. 
"How would you know?" I spat.
"What's my name?"
The race was over. As close as I was, the finish line came first and Silver won. I came second and one of our guys came third. 
"Watch yourself," Silver murmured to me and went to the waiting crowd.
Among them was Rainbow. She hugged him and kissed him. 
"Enjoy your victory while you can," she warned him. "Lost, Spitfire and I are gonna take you down." She looked over to me. "Good job out there Lost!" 
I waved.
"Oh, my race," she noticed as the girls were lining up. "Wish me luck Lost." And she turned to go.
"Luck," I said after her.
"Hold on," Silver grabbed her had and spun her into himself. He kissed her deeply. "There's my luck."
When she pulled away, Rainbow bit her lip. "Shouldn't have done that," she said. "Now you're gonna lose."
My skin crawled. I didn't like that guy.
