Childish (Scootaloo/Rainbow Dash)

-Childish-

It was the way she acted as she presented her bouquet, a nervousness in the grin that only an adult recognised. Her mane had gotten long as a teenager, and the scrapes she always had on her knees were long gone.

“Uh, sorry, Scootaloo. I'm not interested,” Dash said, pushing the flowers away.

Scootaloo's grin faded, and, just for a moment, the sadness showed on her face. But it was only a moment, and she recovered swiftly, feigning casual acceptance.

She was just a kid, Dash told herself. The way she acted mature just exposed how childish she really was.

Author's Note:

More practice drabbles with Karrakaz. This one was a bit overambitious and I didn't get what I wanted from it, but hey. This is a collection of practice/sub-par pieces, so you get what you pay for.
