Getting Too Competitve
"Hey, guys, guys!" Moonlight yelled as she galloped towards the school and she knocked them over by accident.
"Ow! What are you so happy about?" Starshine asked and she rubbed her head then shook some tiny stones out of her curly mane.
The others also asked the same question and they got up and brushed themselves off. Moonlight was panting really fast and she got up and did her best to get her breath back.
"I got my cutie mark this morning or when I was sleeping last night!" Moonlight replied with a squeal and they all stared at her with widened eyes and jaws hanging open.
"What is your talent then?" Hugh asked as he titled his head to the right and gave a confused look when he looked at her flank.
"I think it has something to do with my magic like lighting it to make it shine or something like that. I'll have to find out when it's nighttime and I'll try it out in the dark with the lights off." Moonlight said with pride and she stood up with a proud and confident face.
The five friends walked the rest of the way to the school and Poppy galloped up to Hugh and gave him a tight hug.
"Awww, how's my little rose without a thorn?" Hugh asked and he gave her a small kiss on the lips.
"Why, I am feeling so much better now that you are here!" Poppy replied and she gave a wide grin.
The six friends got to their P.E class and got to what exercises they had to do depending on what type of pony they were.
Unicorns had to use their magic to blast, take items out of their way in a obstacle course and had to have magic duels without hurting each other and getting themselves sent to the school nurse. Pegasi had to fly over obstacle courses, high and low, and had to do races from one hundred metres to eight hundred metres. Earth ponies had to show how strong they are with lifting weights, push ups and even racing against pegasi unless the pegasi wouldn't use their wings or they would have to start again.
"I'm going to beat you, Moonlight!" Starshine yelled as they walked to the arena that was surrounded by a magic proof fence so that it wouldn't go through and hit the other students.
"No, I'm more powerful than you because I can levitate myself from different heights and you can't!" Moonlight replied with anger in her voice and she dug one of her hooves into the ground a few times.
"I'll beat you in the two hundred metres, Bubble!" Spar yelled and Bubble gave him a long glare.
She sighed and they both raced, pushing each other and even hitting each other in the sides. After P.E, the six friends were sitting in the school nurse's office with ice packs on their heads and plasters because of cuts they had on the forelegs.
"That was like so extreme, guys." Bubble said with pain in her voice.
"I know, but that is what happens when you get so competitive." Moonlight said with the same tone.
"I'll apologise to Spar for pushing and hitting him a bunch of times when we were on the race track." Bubble said and she gave a smile at Poppy who just shrugged her shoulders.
"How are you six feeling?" their teacher, Mr Marker, asked as he walked through the door and stared down at them.
"We're feeling fine, sir." Jacinto said and he gave a slight salute with his right hoof. Mr Marker gave a small smile at them.
"I wanted to tell you that there is a talent show coming up in four days and would you like to join it?" Mr Marker asked and he levitated some flyers in front of him and gave them one each. "You just sign your name there and what you'll be performing."
He gave them another smile then walked away with the remaining flyers.
"Hugh, you have a great singing voice, you should do singing." Jacinto said and he put his foreleg around his twin brother's shoulders.
"I'm not sure what I should do, I have stage fright and you know what my school in Prassia was like." Starshine said in a nervous voice and she rubbed her hooves together slowly.
"Why don't we sing a duet?" Jacinto asked and Starshine gave a small and nodded.
"I'll be doing daredevil tricks like flying through a flaming hoop and other dangerous things. Just like my parents would do." Bubble responded with a smile.
"I'll do some magic tricks." Moonlight responded and a little of her magic shot out of her horn.
"I'll do just dancing to some Sapphire Shores or Countess Coloratura's upbeat music," Poppy responded with a nod and she got up. "Come on, let's get home and get prepared."
