Sisterhooves Surprise

“Last one to my house is a wet rain cloud!” Immediately, she and Apple Bloom began bouncing along the cloud lines.  Once Rainbow Dash saw Apple Bloom outstrip her, she flapped her wings hard, and zoomed to her house in a blink of an eye.  She was sitting on her cloud floor when Apple Bloom arrived.

“Hey!  You flew!  That’s not fair!” Apple Bloom exclaimed indignantly.

“You never said no wings!” Rainbow Dash replied, smirking.  Then, she changed the subject. “It’s getting late.  Why don’t we go into my room?  I can tell a mad scary story!” Rainbow Dash suggested.  Apple Bloom nodded, and the two headed into Rainbow Dash’s room.

“Wow!  You have a picture of Spitfire hoof-stamped by her!” Apple Bloom exclaimed in awe.

“Eh, it’s nothing.  She just mass-stamps those like an assembly line.  Trust me.  I know.  I walked in on her doing so,” Rainbow Dash answered nonchalantly.

“That’s pretty cool!” Apple Bloom replied encouragingly.

“Hey, you wanna know something I like to do whenever I have friends over?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Sure!  What is it?”  Apple Bloom answered curiously.

“This!”  Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she grabbed the blanket off her bed.  She flew around the bed in an intricate pattern, fashioning a nice little tent for both of them.

“Wow!  That’s cool!” Apple Bloom exclaimed in awe.

“Now we can pretend we were camping just like we were last time!  Wasn’t that really fun?” Rainbow Dash replied excitedly.

“Oh yeah!”  Apple Bloom exclaimed.  “I liked it so much!  Maybe we can do it again sometimes!”

After a couple exchanges of scary stories, Rainbow Dash and Apple Bloom fell asleep.  The next morning, Rainbow Dash woke up.  She could see the bright sunlight filtering into her room.  Did she really sleep that long?  Then she remembered.  Apple Bloom stayed over and they stayed up late.  She was about to fall back asleep when she heard a loud “RAINBOW DASH!!!!!!”  Rainbow Dash flew over to the door and poked her head out.  It was Scootaloo.

“Hey, Dash!  What are we going to do today?” she asked easily, wings fluttering.  Rainbow Dash froze.  She would have to turn Scootaloo down in some way.

“Well, Scootaloo, there’s a lot of crazy weather going on near Baltimare.  It’s rather out of control, so a lot of other Pegasi and I are heading over to settle that.  It might take all day.  I might not be able to hang out, but if I can I’ll find you,” Rainbow Dash replied.  Before Scootaloo could ask anything else, she ducked back into her house.  Retreating to her bedroom, she found that Apple Bloom was awake.

“Where were you?” she asked.

“Scootaloo wanted to hang.  I had to turn her down.  Said I had weather duties today.  Which, I guess is true.  There’s some clouds that need to be cleared.  You wanna come?  It isn’t really dangerous,” Rainbow Dash explained.

“I won’t get in the way, will I?”  Apple Bloom asked.

“Don’t worry, you won’t,” Rainbow Dash reassured.
