RariDash Group Collab

Written by Jondor

Amid the roar of the crowd, two stallions sat silently in the stands.  All the usual excitement they felt for the game of hoofball was drowned out by the awkward discovery of the previous night.

Magnum and Spectrum had been friends for years, ever since they had wound up sitting next to each other watching the Cloudsdale Cannoneers play the Manehattan Marauders.  Rooting for different teams had merely given them a playful sense of comradery, then.  Now, learning that their daughters played for the other team, together, made things more tense than a turnover play during triple overtime.

Magnum finished off his beer and flicked the can aside before clearing his throat.  “Look,” he started off, “maybe we’re just taking this the wrong way.  I mean, if Rainbow was a stallion, we’d be okay with this, right?”

Spectrum just stared at his old friend for a moment.  “If Rainbow was—If Rarity was a stallion things would be alright,” he grumbled.

Magnum’s eye twitched.  “You know what I mean.  Our kids’ll be just fine.  Look at Spitfire, for one.”

“And Hoity Toity.”  Spectrum parried.

“There’s all those rumors about Soarin’.”  Magnum cracked open another beer.

“Photo Finish is in the tabloids at least once a week.”  Spectrum scooped up a beer for himself as well.

Both stallions chuckled nervously at each other for a moment, then slapped each other on the back before finally turning their attention back to the game.

After the final touchdown, as the crowd was getting up to leave, Spectrum finally spoke up again.  “So, when do we start pestering them about grandfoals?”

Magnum put a hoof to his chin, arching an eyebrow.  “Let’s leave that up to Pearl and Firefly.  Deal?”

“Deal.”

They shook hooves on it.
