The Game Ends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAuthor's Note
Season Five's Premier is today! I watched it and it was GREAT! Wouldn't it be interesting if one of your OCs were part of the show? What if one of my OCs were in the show?? I would love to see Cherry Blossom, Casper, Caesar UpperCrest, Feather Flyer, Riff Raff, Pepper Corn, Black Racer, Fleet Foot, and/or Crystal Gem on the show!
(I have too many OCs for one person)
The Game Ends
Rainbow Dash and the girls all leaned forward as Pepper Corn made her way down the field. She was so close to scoring...It was 25-25 now...The clock was ticking down...
1:02
"Come on! come on!" Rainbow hissed as she waved her hands in the air.
Some of the Pythons were coming after her. The girl carefully guarded the ball from them and kept moving forward. She was almost there...
00:51
Spitfire zoomed through a group of Pythons and came in clear view near the goal. Pepper Corn turned with the ball and was about to shoot the ball to her captain when she seemed to have thought twice about that. Instead of directing her kick to Spitfire, she twisted her foot so it would go toward the net. But she had changed directions so quickly that she didn't have accuracy. The ball ricocheted off the sidebar of the goal and bounced on the ground.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Rainbow cried.
00:26
A swarm of rival team members surrounded the ball and they rushed down the field with it. The crowd was getting really rowdy. People were screaming "woo" and "boo" all over the place. Time was ticking down. Everybody was on the edge of their seats. The Wondercolts shot after the swarm of Pythons and ran as hard as they could to get to the net before they did. The members all formed a barricade around the goal in an attempt to stop them. But the rival team kept running at them.
00:11
Applejack stood up and balled her hands into fists, hoping for the defense to work. She stared at them with deep concentration, as if she could control what was going on. Rarity sat with her mouth wide open and clutched the edge of the bench. Twilight was much the same. Fluttershy resorted to holding onto Pinkie Pie as the tension rose, but that wasn't a very good idea. The bouncy girl couldn't hold in her excitement and fidgeted so much that Fluttershy felt dizzy. Sunset just watched the game with half-lidded eyes and yawned. She wasn't a big soccer fan. She was tired and wanted to go home.
Rainbow bit her lip.
The other team charged at them like bulls. But they stood their ground.
00:04
The students started to count down, adding even more unnecessary tension.

The students were all ushered away from the bleachers and either went on the buses or home. The Rainbooms all walked their way off of school grounds and chatted. Applejack and Sunset helped Rainbow Dash walk, standing on either side of her. Thunderlane came running up to them and he whispered in Rainbow's ear. Her face became void of any color and she swallowed. Twilight glanced at her and frowned.
"What's up?"
Rainbow closed her eyes and shouted," UGH! THIS DAY COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE!!"
Applejack squeezed her shoulder sympathetically.
"I know, sugarcube. First, you get hurt. Then, the team starts losing. And now..."
She took her hat off and threw it on the ground.
"We done lost to them suckers!"
Sunset stumbled a bit. Applejack's action had pushed them a little bit and Rainbow grimaced as a twinge of pain came through her ankle.
"Hey, hold your horses a bit! You're making people trip over here!" Sunset exclaimed.
The cowgirl apologized and helped support their friend. Twilight repeated her question to Rainbow Dash.
"So, what's wrong? You're awfully pale after what Thunderlane said to you."
Before the girl could answer someone called her name out.
"Dash! How's it going? You remember me, I know it."
All of them turned to see a girl with white hair and a brown jacket. Beside her were two boys. Fluttershy immediately hid behind the others and whimpered. The girl saw her and smirked.
"Oh, hey Fluttershy. You know, it's rude not to say hello to people you know."
Rarity glanced at both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Neither of them seemed very happy to be meeting this girl. Rarity wasn't familiar with who she was and wondered how it was that Fluttershy and Rainbow knew her.
"Um, hello. Could you please tell us your name? I don't believe we've all met before, except for maybe a few."
The girl sniffed and crossed her arms.
"The name's Gilda."
Gilda looked at Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy accusingly.
"So, you guys never mentioned me? Huh, some friends you are."
Rainbow glared at her.
"We aren't friends! You are a self centered jerk. Why would I even mention you?"
Pinkie Pie was starting to feel uneasy. Her jumpy behavior calmed down and she looked back and forth between the two that were talking.
"...What's going on here? You two have met her? And where? She can't possibly be from CHS because I know pretty much everybody there!" she asked.
Gilda folded her arms and rolled her eyes. She poked Pinkie in the forehead and pushed her back with brute force.
"Well then, Ms. I-Know-Everybody, why don't you use your brain and figure it out. If you know I'm not from your school then I have to be from...? Oh, I know, Cloudsdale!"
Her sudden burst of anger scared the party girl and she backed away.
Applejack glared at her.
"What in tarnation is your problem?!"
Rainbow looked at all her friends.
"Y-You see...Gilda and I used to hang out before I came to Canterlot High...And we didn't leave on good terms. when I kicked that faulty shot it, um...may have hit her in the face..."
Gilda smirked and pounded a fist into her palm.
"It sure did, and I want to get back at you for it!"
She angrily raised her hand to strike and Sunset pulled Rainbow away, much to the discomfort of the latter. Applejack let her go and balled her fists up. Twilight gasped as Sunset leaned Rainbow against her so she could support her. Sunset was going to jump in and help Applejack take this girl down. Gilda's cronies, Black Racer and Fleet Foot, took up a fighting position when they saw the two girls raise their fists. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity froze at the sight of a fight suddenly about to break out.
"N-No! This...this isn't right. Stop it!!" Fluttershy yelled and she ran in between the them as their fists came swinging.
WHAM!!!
