"Rainbow Dash! You need a bath, NOW!" you yell ten feet in the air.
The cyan pegasus filly was playing outside until she noticed you coming towards her and talking about a bath. She panicked at the thought of bathing, and started flying away from you at great speeds. A wild chase had ensued for about five minutes before you managed to catch her, only to be dragged by the unnaturally strong foal, escaping command after command for her to stop from your mouth.
Just when you had given up all hope for cooperation, Rainbow Dash finally stopped, exhausted after pulling both of your weights (and you thought being a bit overweight was a bad thing). She looks to you with a look of defeat and apology on her face.
"It's alright," you assure her, even though it wasn't really. "Just don't drag me again. Now for your bath."
She sighs at the mentioning of bathing, and stands up to follow you, ready to cooperate. You nod your head to her, stand up, wipe the dirt from your pants, make a mental note to adress that scrape on your knee, and walk her inside. She looks around the house once over the threshold, obviously looking for a way out. "Nope, no way out now, Dashie!" you tell her confidently, ready to jump at any moment.
When you enter the bathroom, she goes over to the full tub, which was now close to losing it's warmth. She puts her hoof in to check the temperature, making sure it wasn't as bad as last time.
"Don't worry," you tell her, "it's twenty percent cooler this time. I promise."
She smiles at your honesty and jumps into the tub, satisfied with your deed. She starts to fool around, floating this way and that using her wings as propellers and turners. This makes you chuckle a bit, glad she's finally accompanying herself to the bath.
Rainbow looks to you, and then stops, a "let's-just-get-this-over-with" look now on her face. You take the hint and get out the shampoo, squirting a bit in your palm. You go over to the filly and start lathering her rainbow mane, getting each color individually. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet- all the colors of the rainbow, just like her name. This really makes you wonder how nature could do something so beautiful for something so small, thenceforth making that something even more beautiful, if possible.
Once her mane is fully lathered, you scoop up some of the water in your palms. You're about to pour it onto her head when she stops you with one hoof. You sit there, watching questioningly as she stands up and puts her head underwater, shaking it as fast as she can. The rapid shaking sends water flying everywhere: on the walls, on the shower curtain, on the floor, and, most importantly, on your new fifty dollar shirt (which you now realize you should've taken off beforehand).
"Rainbow!" you yell, stopping the pegasus, whose mane was now soap-free. She looks around, realizing her actions, and blushes, smiling embarrassingly. You shake your head and brush it off, telling yourself it's just another one of Dash's antics. Well, at least her hair is cleaned you think.
You take off your now soaked shirt and fill the tub with more water, seeing as how it was now at half capacity, making sure it wasn't too hot. When both of you are satisfied it's fine, you begin to work on her wings. You thank heavens Fluttershy was the first pony whose wings you'd clean and not Rainbow's (one mistake, and you were bucked). You grab the feather shampoo (again, good thing Fluttershy was your "lab rat", because regular shampoo makes their feathers very oily) which you had bought yesterday and pour some in your hand. You ask her to open her wings, to which she cooperates. You begin to lather her cyan feathers, enjoying the feel of them: their sleekness, their softness, their aerodynamic form. This takes about half a minute before you decide she's good, and after you cup water in your palms, only to be interrupted yet again. You give her a disapproving look before she lays down and gently (yes, somehow the famous Rainbow Dash managed to do something gently) flaps her wings in the water, barely splashing a few drops out of the tub and no more. You give her a sweet smile, telling her she did well.
With her wings and mane now clean, it was time to move onto Rainbow Dash's tail. You pour a palmful of shampoo in your hand and begin to stroke her tail. The task was not at all different, except, well, Rainbow doesn't like people touching her tail. She fussed and fought the entire time, almost kicking you in the face a couple times. You scold her each time, but to absolutely no avail; this pony really hated it when others touched her tail. The task took a VERY long half minute later the deed is done, and you leave her to rinse her own tail, which she does by softly shaking her flank in the bath water.
Now that the bath was finally over, you pull the plug and watch as the water drains at speeds that barely compare to the ones from the filly jumping out. You stop her before she leaves the room, pointing out the fact that she was still wet. She sighs again and walks over to you, ready for the drying cycle. You grab her favorite Wonderbolt towel (to which she smiles at) and wrap it around her, shaking it semi-violently to dry her off faster. You make sure to get her head, her body and her wings, and leave her tail and hooves to her. Once she's done, you start to put the towel in the hamper when you're stopped yet again. Rainbow Dash grabs the towel in her mouth and throws it on her body horizontally. You smile and tie the front for her, thus completing her cape. She grins brightly and rushes out of the room flying, pretending to be like one of her idols.
You smile to yourself, remembering this moment so that one day you could tell your friends you gave a Wonderbolt a bath as a filly.

Wow, I really amaze myself when I set realistic goals, because then I do the task faster than the normal goals. Anyways, enjoy scrubbing Dashie, the little dickens!
1534666
Yay :P
Luna pls. :3
Do Rarity next, I wonder how well she'll cooperate.
I can tell Applejack will put up a fight and I don't know how well Twilight will react.
1535082
Oh yea........ if your gonna have us do Applejack, at least give us some safety tips so we don't have to plan a visit to the hospital after that bath..... although it would be somewhat interesting to me to see more scenarios the ponies could be in.
1535220 Well don't try to fight Applejack head on cause she'll just buck you, but other than that I don't really think I can offer you any advice. Applejack may like getting dirty but that doesn't mean she'll refuse to take any sort of bath.
1535250
That's kinda why I want Big Mac to help. He could set her straight
Filly Dashie + Cape? Cuteness Overload
awww,
At least when its Rarities turn should be rather easy...
Unless of course she ends up somehow having to share her bath with somefilly like Applejack for some reason.
Maybe it was a nice day out after a rainstorm and little Rarity found a nice spot to sun herself.... that just so happened to be near the garden little Aj was working on.
Spike will be the best hands down. A baby dragon breathing fire from a hiccup and his claws leaving scouring marks in the tub walls! All cause Twi forgot to mention a few things and pops in just as lil ole Spike sets the shower curtain on fire!
1535282 Well you haven't had to have any help so far, besides Applejack might not listen to Big Mac she might pull the "You're not the boss of me!" routine.
1539536
That's mostly because the ones I've chosen so far don't really have any important family members. In fact, Pinkie's the only one, and her parents are freaking AMISH! Plus Big Mac would be tougher than little AJ. Like I said before, I'm planning on some co-ops (BM with AJ, SA with Twilight, maybe Celestia with Luna if they're not bathing together, Twilight with Spike and Rarity with SB).
1539579 What about Apple Bloom, will Big Macintosh or Applejack be helping you out?
1539589
I dunno yet. Only time will tell. But for now, I'm starting Rarity's bath, and then I'm doing Twilight ( with Shining Armor unless I get disapproval), and then AJ (again, with BM unless disapproved), and then the two Princesses, and then some BG ponies. I'm not going to do the CMC for a bit because, well, they're already fillies (but I'm still going to make them younger), and I created this mostly to give people a chance to bathe the important characters.
AB: Are you sayin we're not important?
Scoot: Let's get him!
CMC: Cutie Mark Crusaders Ass-Kickers!
Me:*dead*
1539634 LOL "Cutie Mark Crusaders Ass-Kickers!" somone make that line into a gif!
ZOMG, too cute, yet hilarious at the same time! I can soooo see Dashie putting up a fight for a bath
Oh come ON. You're better than that.
I think that's kind of a no-brainer.
Clever use of "20% cooler" line.
A "former" wonderbolt? That implies that she was part of the wonderbolts and quit while she was a filly.
Perhaps you mean "future" wonderbolt?
1667352 Fixed it, thanks!
Apparently Rainbow is capable of taking a bath on her own. Even as a filly.
1534666 I used to have a realistic goal for writing on one of my stories.
That goal is now dead and buried by three years time.
wait, i'm a bit confused on something: whoever one chooses the character to be, are they in pony form or human form when they wash the foal?
I thought of an idea!!!
At first I was like, "Take my shirt off?! " But then I was like, "Oh, if we're all female, why not?" (Not in a pervy way)
Chapter has been read.

ok this appears to be first person.....hmmmmm when we get to AJ lets go to third person, yeah? I don't need those bruises.....oh god please say this person did not do it first person....onwards!
Lil'dashie would be a bit of a hassle. Still cute though
YAAAAY, bathing Rainboooooooow! The best bath time, where I get to do the least work, and watch over my favorite pony!
1539579
Makes one wonder then, where all the Ponies came from.
scrolls all the way down before reading story,i know dash don't likey baths oh well *tries to catch dashie*
Uh, not trying to be a total and complete asshole, but you're short a colour in the rainbow

Don't get me wrong, I now have super diabetus
The shaking under the water made me think of a gif of her doing that, snout just above the water with a expression on her face
that was an awesome little story!
When it came to the drying cycle, did "you" really shake them violently or did I read that the wrong way?
1890336 RD doesn't have indigo on her mane and tail
2930955
She does... Believe me. See the Indigo, (Indigo means a sort of blonde colour)
3269906
Actually, it's the dark blue. That's what indigo is.
Am i a fan the character is human? Not particularly. Am i a fan of the sweetness that are these little ponies? Absolutely.
I'm alergic to adorableness!
