The Average Hardships Of Being Rainbowshine Part 1

It was already autumn with the leaves falling down from the trees. Orange, yellow, red leaves were all around Ponyville even the Everfree forest had the autumn colors of the season. The sounds of hooves could be heard along a narrow path around Ponyville with the twin sisters Rainbowshine and Dizzy Twister dashing along the path. Rainbowshine being the oldest and fastest out of the pair, she was ahead of her sister by a huge nose-length. She dashing faster and faster with every breeze she felt in her mane, Rainbowshine always felt the need for speed when it was autumn after all the season brought the Running Of The Leaves, tomorrow. With all of this racing, they were doing there were most likely to win the competition.

"Put a bit more step in your dashing, Dizzy! We want to win not lose!" Dizzy Twister sighed in annoyance, stopping along the path, flapping her wings. Dizzy flew ahead of her sister, leaving a few leaves on her sister's face. Rainbowshine wiped her face off with her hooves, let out a huff in annoyance, flapping her wings as well, flying after her sister. The sisters were flying as fast as lightning at the speeds they were going. Dizzy looked behind her, to see her sister trying to catch up to her.

"I'm not the brightest piece of hay in the farm but I'm the fastest piece of hay, you ever seen!" Dizzy said, laughing at her slower sister. She flapped her wings faster, with the pegasus' body going faster almost like a single twister. She swirled around a few ponies that were on the path, sending them "dizzy" in her dust, her sister sweating trying to catch up to her. Rainbowshine landed to the ground when she was over exhausted from all the flying, Dizzy Twister flew back to the pegasus. "What wrong?" She asked Rainbowshine.

Rainbowshine looked up at Dizzy, wiping the sweat off of her forehead. She folded in her wings in embarrassment, "It's my stupid wings that what wrong!". The wisteria coated mare stood up, looking at her sore wings.

"You still can't catch – ", Rainbowshine kicked her in the hind legs "– up to me." Dizzy was on the ground, staring at her sister with an irritated look on her face. Rainbowshine step in front of her sister, trying to hide the now hurt pegasus. She had her ears flatten, staring at the direction in front of them to only see a dark gray coated, amber eyed and blue-silver maned and tailed pegasus stallion walking towards their direction. "Uh oh, Thunderlane!" Rainbowshine froze her eyes looking deeply at the stallion's amber-colored eyes, her cheeks blushing, her mouth speechless for words at his looks. Dizzy looked at her sister and then at Thunderlane, she quickly got up from the ground, pushing her sister in some nearby bushes when Thunderlane finally approached them.

"Hiya Dizzy Twister. I saw your moves just a few minutes ago, I have to say that you got some serious skills!"

"Thanks, Thunderlane! That means a lot from a pegasus, like yourself." He smiled, but his smile soon faded away. "Where Rainbowshine, I thought I saw her with you?" The mare was sweating like crazy at Thunderlane's question with her sister Rainbowshine watching them from the bushes. Rainbowshine sighed, putting her hooves under her chin, staring at Thunderlane's blue-silver mane and tail, like he was a god to her."Why can't I just walk up to him and tell him my feelings for him," whispered Rainbowshine.

Before Dizzy could answer his question, the mare herself showed up out of nowhere with her sister Cloudchaser by her side. Flitter pranced up to her coltfriend, nuzzling the stallion by the muzzle, sending Thunderlane's cheeks to blushing bright red. The sight of them made Rainbowshine want to throw up, and punch Flitter's little face. Cloudchaser let out a yawn, looking at Dizzy, closely. "Hello Dizzy Twister." Cloudchaser said, a smirk on her little face. Dizzy looked up at the fellow pegasus, smiling at her, a bit. "Hi to you too, Cloudchaser!" The not so bright light khaki coated mare said, blushing a pale pinkish red at Cloudchaser. The mare kicked a rock, some a rare sight of shyness. Thunderlane and Flitter chuckled at the two mares' little scene of love.

Rainbowshine smiled, letting out a chuckle as well. "She is a stallion stealer but she does have a sense of humor. I'll give her that at least. But she still not worthy of being with Thunderlane." She sighed, sitting down lowering her head at the thought of them, still together. It made her feel even more jealous.

"I guess this is the daily hardships I face everyday with this dumb crush, I have on him!" Thunderlane turned his head to direction of the voice

"Rainbowshine is that you?" He asked, standing in front of the bushes she was hiding in. She started to picnic, not knowing what to do, she sighed. Freezing for a moment, before she leaped at Thunderlane. Rainbowshine was on top of the stallion, her hooves around his neck. When she opened her eyes, she and Thunderlane were blushing at each other at their positions. Flitter walked over to them, knocking Rainbowshine off of her stallion. Helping Thunderlane up, dusting off the dirt on his mane and coat. Rainbowshine bumped into Dizzy Twister's front hooves, Dizzy helped her up, dusting her off. "Thanks, Dizzy." Dizzy smiled, nodding her head at her older sister.

Rainbowshine looked at the couple, rolling ears in irritation. She looked at them, soon turning the other direction, folding in her wings tighter at the aching pain of them, and her. Dizzy Twister looked at Flitter, Thunderlane and Cloudchaser, waving goodbye to them before she padded up to her older sister. Cloudchaser followed after them, flying above Dizzy's head. The pink maned and tailed with a light pink streak mare looked up at the pegasus, smiling. She flew around the other flying pegasus, Dizzy swirled all around Cloudchaser making the mare, "dizzy". Cloudchaser then bumped into Dizzy Twister, making both of them fall out of the sky, landing on top of Rainbowshine. Thunderlane and Flitter dashed over to the three mares, trying their hardest not to laugh out loud. Rainbowshine gave Dizzy and Cloudchaser a glare. The mares got off of her, looking at each other, laughing and giggling.

"Haha very funny....."

The Average Hardships Of Being Rainbowshine Part 2

Rainbowshine flapped her wings, flying off to the center of the town with Dizzy close behind her. It was already noon and Rainbowshine was already late for her new job, yet again at Sweet Apple Acres. "Hurry up Dizzy, before we are late, yet again!" Rainbowshine shouted, her wings going faster and faster, with her heartbeats matching each flap of her wings. She flatten her ears, when she finally reached her desired place. The mare landed stomach first on the grass of the apple farm. When a huge red stallions with green apple cutie mark that had its seeds showing, she rose her head, looking at the stallion. "Hiya Big McIntosh!" Rainbowshine's cheery twin sister dashed in front of the stallion, jumping up and down, flapping her wings, also. Big Mac looked at the cheery mare, only letting out smile before he padded over to Rainbowshine.

"Your late yet again, Shiny!" He uttered under his breath, Rainbowshine let out a loud groan when she heard the nickname that he called her. She had always hated the little nickname that he called, as she had it ever since she was a little filly in Cloudsdale with all her classmates calling her "Shiny", "Shinie", and rarely calling her by her other nickname, "Rainbows". It just killed her every time she heard those horrible nicknames. Dizzy Twister looked over at them, seeing her sister's annoyed and frustrated look that she was giving the stallion. "Don't call me Shiny,Big McIntosh! You know I hate it when you, call me that!" The stallion chuckled for once, walking away from the two mares, heading back to his apple-bucking in the fields. "Just make sure, you get some apple-bucking done and I won't tell AJ about your tardiness!" Rainbowshine nodded her head, slowly padding off to the south fields with Dizzy going to the west fields.

She grumbled under her breath, while she apple-bucked each trees in her path. It was making her hind legs hurt and ache with the sun making it even worst on her legs. The a;ready tired mare, sat down by apple tree nearby, cooling off in the tree's cool shade. While she was resting in the cool shade, the little pegasus began to doze off, noticing how many hours has passed. As it was already dusk out. Big Mac looked the mare, sighing. He walked closer to Rainbowshine, shaking her body, trying to wake up the snoring pegasus on the tree's bark. She opened her eyes, rubbing both of her sleepy eyes.

"What time is it?" Rainbowshine looked up at the red stallion, her wings feeling tired. "Around 6:00 PM. I'm afraid." The pegasus jumped up in seconds at his words, flying off into the sky not saying another word to the earth-pony. He smiled, shaking his head at the mare. "She quite something, indeed.," whispered Big McIntosh.

Rainbowshine flapped her wings, going all around Ponyville, searching for her sister Dizzy Twister. She landed by the fountain of the center of town. Rainbowshine sighed, her head lowered, her gaze on the ground not noticing that Rumble was walking right in front of him. The two bumped into each other, sending them both to the ground. "Watch where your– " When she finally noticed who she bumped, she froze "– going." Rumble looked at her with innocent eyes, he helped her up like a gentlecolt. "Sorry about bumping into you, ma'am!" Rainbowshine smiled, knowing who Rumble's brother was. "It's alright Rumble. My name is Rainbowshine by the way." He looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Nice to finally meet you Rainbowshine. My big brother Thunderlane talks about you and your sister Dizzy Twister all the time!" She blushed at the thought of her crush, talking about her to other ponies. "What does your brother says about us?" She asked the little colt, Rumble grinned. "He mostly says how awesome of flyers you two are and how you guys are one of his many loved best friends, he has!" Rainbowshine let out a giggle the girly side of her was slowly showing in front of the colt.

"Just between you and me. He also said that your pretty cute for a pegasus mare." Rumble whispered into her left ear. Rainbowshine's cheeks became bright red at Rumble's words of Thunderlane saying she is cute. She flapped her wings in a heartbeat! The pegasus flying around in circles around the colt, day-dreaming at the thought of her crush, Thunderlane and her, together.
