Football Sign-ups

       Spike was waiting in line for lunch,right in front of the girls. Finally he grabbed his lunch and sat down at a nearby table. After the girls got their lunches they all sat around Spike and started talking. "Are any of you girls signing up for cheerleading?"  Rarity asked. Pinkie shot straight up and said,"I am!! Are any of you guys signing up?!" Rainbow Dash said,"You buncha pussies,me and Applejack are signing up for football. And this year I'm gonna be quarterback." "Ha!! You can wish,but Imma still be quarterback this year,Rainbow!" Applejack exclaimed. "Oh yeah?! We'll see about that," Rainbow said,"I've been training for this all summer long!" "So've I!!" Applejack yelled. They both stood straight up and went nose to nose,glaring at one another."We'll see about that!" was all Rainbow Dash said before she stormed away.

       "So,Spike,you gonna join football?" Applejack asked. "Yeah,I've been working out all summer and stuff to help." Spike said. "That's good,we could use you." Applejack said. Rarity just bit her lip. She didn't want to see him get hurt. I know he's big and all,but,so are other football teams. She thought. He can handle himself, I mean,who's going to hurt him? Look at those large,toned biceps of his and his chest and those abs...stop it Rarity! A lady should never think like that! She thought to herself."ity...rity...Rarity!!" Twilight yelled. Rarity jumped. "You alright Rarity? You kinda zoned out a bit and you looked sorta...sad...you okay?" Spike asked. "I..I'm fine,just...be careful during practice and games...I don't want you to get hurt. Okay?" Rarity said. "Of course,Rarity." Spike answered.

That...sucked...Spike thought. It's been a week since sign-ups and he made it on the team. He was one of their best offensive lineman on the team. They all had to run this practice,the whole practice,and they were all tired by the time practice was over and could barely stand long enough to take off their pads and put back on their regular clothes. Of course,Applejack and Rainbow Dash were just fine,even though they raced and sprinted the whole time. Rainbow Dash ended up being the quarterback this year and Applejack as fullback. During football practice,you could hear the cheerleader's practice. The loudest person on the cheerleading team was Pinkie-pie,but if you listened close enough you could also hear...Rarity...Spike thought. He sighed

            Spike scrolled down his contact list on his cell phone. He called Rarity. Ringing...ringing...ringing..."Hello,Spike." Rarity said on the other end. "Hey,Rarity,I was just wondering if I could come over?" Spike asked. "Of course,Spike,but why?" Rarity asked. "No reason,just seeing if I could stop by,maybe help you out a little." Spike answered. "I suppose you could,darling,but do you have a ride?" Rarity asked. He couldn't just lie to her. "No," he admitted,"I was actually planning on walking there. It's not too far away anyway." Spike answered. "I am going to come pick you up and take you to my house. It's not any trouble,darling." Rarity said. "No,Rarity, I couldn't ask you to the that,it's no trouble,really,I can walk there." Spike said."I'm going to come and pick you up whether you like it or not!" She huffed. Then she hung up.

            She swerved into the high school parking lot in her new white Mustang. He picked up his things and got in. "Is there something you would like to talk about Spike?" Rarity asked once more. "No. Like I said I just wanted to see you and help around the boutique a little bit." Spike answered. "They didn't do anything to you today,again,did they?" Rarity asked. "No,not today. Probably tomorrow though." Spike said. "Hey Spike," Rarity said, "Yeah?" Spike asked,"Do you wanna go somewhere else? Like somewhere special? I know a good spot." She asked. "I...guess," Spike said, "Where?" He asked. "It's a surprise." Rarity said. Then she winked and looked straight ahead,blushing a little. Spike's face went bright red. Then he looked out the window and smiled.
