Earthling or Equestrian?

#16- HIM!?

Rainbow Dash POV

I was sweating as the Crusaders plotted among themselves, barely 10 feet away from me. I flinched when Scootaloo whipped around to me and Toby. She put on a charming little smile.

"Mr. Toby? Could we borrow Rainbow Dash for a while?"

"Um..."

"Pleeeeeeeaaaaasssssee?"

He caved instantly. The traitor.

"I suppose that's fine. Have fun you-"

He turned back and quickly counted. I snickered.

"Four!"

With that, he turned and jogged off towards Twilight's. I suddenly remembered.

"Oh Rainbow Dash~"

I slowly turned to the three.

"Yes?"

"Follow us."

"Oh dear. This can't be good."

They led me to their Clubhouse behind Sweet Apple Acres and pushed me inside. Scootaloo smiled mischievously at me.

"Now then, Rainbow Dash, we have some things to discuss."

The lights went out as the shutters closed. A single light over the two of us, Scootaloo's face barely hidden in the shadows.

When did they have time to rehearse this?

I nervously broke the silence.

"Things? Such as?"

"Our new common friend, Toby."

A photograph of him slid toward me. Scootaloo continued.

"What are your exact feelings for him?"

"U-uh... I like... him as-a-friend. A close one. And a great rival too!"

She smiled knowingly.

"Are you sure that's all?"

I nodded, tight-lipped.

"Rainbow Dash~. There's no point in lying at this point."

I sighed loudly and blushed.

"I... I like-like him."

The lights suddenly turned back on as Scootaloo screamed like a fan-mare. Applebloom and Sweetie Bell lay off to the side, panting. They were probably rushing around setting this up in the dark. They soon started squeaking as well. I turned a dark, dark, blue.

"S-stop it girls! I-It's not funny!"

(A/N. BAKA, BAKA, BAKA, BA-)

Scootaloo suddenly perked up even more, if that was even possible.

"Are you gonna tell him? Are you? Huh? Huh?"

"I-I-I w-want to... but what if he doesn't like me back?"

I was suddenly decked by a songbook.

Scootaloo stood over me.

"Fine then! You guys like to sing, so we'll convince you through song!"

https://m.

My cheeks were burning, but I felt more confident I guess.

But still, love? Really?

"Feel better?"

"Yeah. I still have no idea if he likes me back though."

"Please, just find the right moment and pop the subject. Even if he doesn't like you right now, Toby's too kind to not give you a chance. Besides, by the amount of time you two spend together, I'm pretty sure he has some feelings for you and doesn't know it yet."

I am the bluest blueberry that ever blued.

"Y-you think so?"

"I literally just said so."
