Bad Stories For Bad People

Sunlight poured in through the windows of the exotic mansion. Rainbow Dash grunted as she stepped out of her bed. She stretched, and she yawned. She sighed.

“Dangit, today just isn’t awesome enough. I better fix that!”

She threw her window open, and soared out. It was midday by now, and the golden orb was at it’s highest point. All of Ponyville gazed upon her rainbow glory, and she sped across the deep blue sky. She performed a loop. She heard the crowd cheering at her amazing tricks.

“Just wakin’ up!” she yelled, hoping her eager fans could hear her.

She started flying faster, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. She spun around several times, creating a beautiful rainbow ribbon in the air. The crowd cheered louder. She smirked.

She sped up, she went faster and faster.

“Time to do some really awesome stuff!”

Suddenly, the sound barrier broke, and a huge rainbow exploded from her position. All of Ponyville watched in awe, before breaking out into cheers. They were so loud, Rainbow could still hear them.

“Alright!” she screamed.

She sped off towards her cheering fans, hoping to meet them. She landed gently, in front of one very eager fan.

“Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash! That trick was sooo awesome!”

Rainbow Dash noticed that it was Scootaloo. She smiled and hugged her little fan.

“Hey squirt, what’s happening?” Rainbow asked inquisitively.

“Oh, y’know, nothing especially awesome…” Scootaloo said, with a sigh.

“Damn, that sucks to hear! Tell ya what, how’s about we go get some ice-cream?”

“Oh wow! That’s awesome! Thanks Rainbow!”

Together, they set off for Sugercube Corner.

“So, Scoots, how’s your flying?”

“...not so good…” Scootaloo replied, shying away.

“Hey, c’mon Scoots. It’s okay. You don’t need to be an awesome flier to be an awesome pony.”

Scootaloo sniffled and smiled.

“Alright, Scooty, we’re here!”

The cool air from the shop burst into their faces. Rainbow shivered slightly, before walking in. They took a seat, and suddenly, a pink ball of fuzz burst into their faces.

“HeyadashiewhatcanIgetya!?” Pinkie Pie exploded.

“Umm, I think I’ll just have a vanilla scoop, and my little buddy over there will have…”

“Caramel!” Scootaloo piped up.

“You heard the lady,” Rainbow Dash winked.

“Okey dokey, girls! It’s comin’ riiiiight up!”

Pinkie bounced off, leaving the two of them alone.

“So… I didn’t know you liked caramel,” Dash said, making small talk with her friend.

“Yeah, I only tried it a few days ago, but it was really good!” she replied with a smile.

“Heh… yeah, I guess it is pretty good.”

“Then why’d you go with vanilla?”

“Less fattening,” Dash said with a wink.

Scootaloo giggled. Suddenly, Pinkie appeared from nowhere with two little bowls.

“Here’s the vanillaaa scoop, and here’s the caramel scoop, for the little lady!”

“Thanks, Pinkie!” Scootaloo said.

“Yeah, thanks Pinkie,” Dash said, already taking a scoop from the ice-cream.

“Alrighty! Don’t forget to come up and pay!”

Pinkie Pie bounced off once more.

The two sat there, enjoying their ice-cream. Soon, it was all gone, and Rainbow went up to pay Pinkie. The two left the shop, grinning and waving to Pinkie on their way out.

“Thanks, Rainbow.”

“You’re welcome, Scoots,” Dash said, rubbing her little friend on the head.

“You’re so…”

“So what?” Dash asked inquisitively.

“...rad.”
