Chapters First day of camp
Edited by Pinkier_Pie thanks a bunch
Today marked the very first day of track camp and this was Dash’s time to prove herself. All she needed to do was to be ‘best of the litter’ and she might have a chance at scoring a spot with the Wonderbolts, a title that was given to the best athletes at the event. She was handed a light blue jersey by one of the officials and was sent to stand with her age group. Rainbow moaned as she read out the number on the back – 16. She didn’t want to be sixteen. She wanted only to be number one. She hesitated for a second but pulled the shirt over her torso reluctantly. There was no point in taking off her undershirt as there seemed to be no private areas in sight, plus, being only 6 o’clock in the morning; the air was too cold and foggy to undress anyway. She sat down on the grass, which was still fresh with the morning dew and stuffed her hand into her bag. She pulled out a dark blue sports jacket and wrapped it around herself, shuddering in the cold as she waited for her turn to run.
Rainbow Dash fell into a nervous daze as she watched in awe as numbers were called and races were run, each participant seeming to go faster than the last. She was startled when she heard her number. This was partly due to nerves, but more so about the thought of losing, after all, she hates losing.
She pressed her hands against the ground and pushed herself up. Every step towards the starting line seemed to take forever and it didn’t help that those who have already run were sitting at the sidelines, calling her names such as ‘Rainbow Crash’ and ‘Skittles’. She ignored them and continued on to the starting line.
Dash gave a nervous glance to the guy with the starting gun. She then stretched her legs for a brief warm-up. The man raised his arm, pointing the gun to the sky.
“On your marks!”
Rainbow made sure that her leg was just behind the starting line, readying herself for the upcoming test.
“Get set!”
Rainbow Dash then lowered herself into her starting position.
BANG!
She was off, pumping her arms and sprinting as fast as she could. Dash became deaf to everything but the sound of her feet thudding against the grass. She seemed to be running at a faster speed than what she could ever dream of mustering. Not much more to go now. She held out her arm as she crossed the line in a hope that it would somehow decrease her time, even if it were only by milliseconds.
She fell into a heap on the ground, shaking from the adrenaline and sick from pushing herself too far. Her breathing was rapid and she began to pale. Despite this, she only cared about her time.
“Congratulations, Skittles! You got 24.3 seconds! The second fastest so far!” cheered the woman with the stopwatch.
“Wh-What!?” blurted out Rainbow Dash, still huffing and heaving, “Only second!? Who was first?” She needed to be first. The only thing worse than losing is coming second – so close to winning, but you’re still a loser.
“That would be me!” boasted an older girl. On her jersey was the number Rainbow Dash was seeking the whole time – Number 1. Dash could feel her face going red.
“You see, I came in with a decent time of 20 seconds flat,” she stopped and smiled at Rainbow Dash to twist the knife, “I’m sure that you tried you’re best. Better luck next time!”
Rainbow Dash was devastated. She started to walk towards her group as tears formed in her eyes.
“Hey, 16! Get off the track and sit with your group!” yelled out an official.
“I already am!” cried out Dash, who could no longer hold back her tears.
She turned around to see number 17, a small, frail girl with large eyes and hair that covered them. Dash felt a strange connection between herself and seventeen as she too was being mocked as she walked up to meet her fate. She found herself examining her. The smaller girl had a beautiful figure and silky, smooth hair that bobbed against her face as she stepped up to the line. Her eyes were hard to see as they were hidden behind it, but every now and then Dash caught a glimpse of them. They were the most amazing eyes she had ever seen and that made Rainbow wonder why she would ever want to hide them.
“Wow… She’s kind of… cute…” she whispered to herself, almost instantly realising the direction her words were taking her. She immediately shut her mouth and blushed heavily, glancing around to see if anyone heard her. Luckily, the other competitors were too busy discussing scores and socialising to notice.
“Rainbow Dash, what are you even thinking?” she asked herself, “You like guys, not girls…”
“On your marks!”
Rainbow Dash spun around to see seventeen in a ready stance for her trial.
“Get set!”
BANG!
Seventeen was late off the starting dash, but she was trying her best. She flailed her arms about and tried to pick up speed, but fell flat on her face. Everybody started to laugh. Everybody but Rainbow Dash.
“THAT’S ENOUGH!” she screamed, “You all have no respect, do you!? She gave it a go! That’s all that matters! Nobody laughed at you when you ran!”
“That’s because we don’t suck like Klutzershy!” blurted out one of the chubby girls.
“She’s right, girls!” one of the officials informed the group, “Anybody who further insults Fluttershy will have to run 100 laps as punishment!”
“Aw… Come on! We’re just having a little fun!”
“That’s it! Romper! 100 laps! NOW!”
I was wondering if any of my fellow bronies out their could get me an original picture of a human child rainbow dash and fluttershy thank you
Rainbow Dash and the Camp instructor walked down to large seemingly abandoned building and walked inside and found all the campers sleeping on the floor. Rainbow Dash stood there confused then the camp instructor gave her a sleeping bag and told her to go to sleep.
“Wait!” she said
“hmm”
“Why are all the kids sleeping on the ground?” she asked curiously
“Oh that well you see today we were suppose to send you guys in dorms based on abilities, but with bus delays and more campers this year than expected we had to wait and well you’re stuck like this until tomorrow” he responded
Rainbow simply shook her head and sighed put her sleeping bag out got inside and tried to go to sleep.
“Good night Coach.”
“Good night skittles.”
And with that he closed the door and left rainbow in her thoughts. soon rainbow slowly drifted into sleep.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR A whistle sounded
Rainbow quickly woke up and turned her head left and right to other tired and sleepy campers.
“Alright get up you lazy maggots!” Screamed a voice
Rainbow turned around to see a 6 foot tall grey haired man he looked to be in his 50’s
“Are you deaf or stupid i said get up”
she quickly got up and stood straight “Alright now that I got your attention pick up your bags put them on the table and get on to the track she quickly put her bag on the table and walked with the others to the track and found that it had be altered there were hurdles that even she could easily walk over and then there were ones that she would have real trouble with. there were also dirt sand areas probably to see how far they could jump.
Alright ladies today were gonna see how far you guys can jump alright Spitfire you're up first and Go! Soon a orange haired girl went up first and quickly ran from the the starting position and jumped from the starting position and quickly jumped the first few hurdles with ease and ran faster and faster when she got to the big hurdles she quickly jumped them with ease then she got to the last hurdle it was twice her height but still managed to jump over it.
“Good” said the elder trainer “lets see here Rainbow Dash you’re up next”
Rainbow quickly got up to the starting position and as soon as he said go she was off. she jumped the first few hurdles with ease “ok this is good just keep on doing this and you’ll be fine”
I got to the moderate hurdles she began to struggle a bit “Don’t mess up Dash” finally the big hurdle just in sight and began to run as fast as I could and when she was 7 feet away she jumped. It was all slow-mo in the air like a basketball player about to make the slam dunk it was awesome the stillness of the world I was halfway over the hurdle, then it happened my foot got stuck on the hurdle. In an instant my fantasy of the worlds greatest track star, chances of being a wonderbolt, a future crushed. the world went into fast forward. I fell to the ground and hit it hard face first and bounced in the air twice before I finally rested on the asphalt track. “Ah man can things get any worse.” “Way ta go Rainbow Crash” someone yelled. Then everyone began to laugh. “Just had to ask great.” “Ah that hurts so bad.” then the Coach came up to me picked me up and dusted me off and told me to get on my way. I got up and with the little dignity I had left walked over to the bleachers and sat down
“Alright Fluttershy you're up” he called then i remembered a boy call someone Klutzershy yesterday and i looked up with excitement and yes there she was Number 17 so her name was fluttershy. “Hmm I wonder if the name fits her or she’s just like that Johnny Cash song were the boy was named Sue to toughen up his character .” Either way all I want to do now is see her performance.
“Hey Dash still thinks she’s cute”
“Shut up will you.”
“Strange you’re not denying it so it must be true.”
“When they figure out how to get rid of your conscience i’ll be first in line to get you out of my head”
“Yeah but until then you’re stuck with me.”
“Touche.”
Meanwhile Fluttershy’s performance was an embarrassment she was barely able to get passed the first part and the moderate parts forget it. I don’t want to judge anyone but man does she suuuck. Anywho when she got to the last hurdle she stopped stood there and jumped at it until the Coach told her to stop ugg usually I try to avoid these kinds of girls but for some reason i feel the need to be with her weird .
“
“I do not!”
“Sure whatever you say.”
After that she made her way to the bleachers people laughed and pointed at her not even caring that she was right there. All I wanted to do was yell myself mute at all of them for making fun of her how dare they bully someone they don’t even care that SHE’S RIGHT THERE. It just makes me wanna pull my hair out and UGG! but as usual all i do is just sit their and do nothing it makes my stomach kring and I just wanna throw up. I turn to see her she just stares down on her lap her hair covering her face then i notice her lap is wet she must be crying. I grab my stomach it hurts so bad and i don’t know why its in knots and why i want to throw up what’s wrong with me then when i see Fluttershy sad all i want to do is cry I just can’t take it and I don't even know what i can’t take.
“WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!” I scream everyone stops and just looks up at me
The elder coach just stood there and paused “alright it’s been a rough start l think its time we gets some lunch everyone was still staring at me. “I said time to get some lunch what you guys deaf or stupid or both.” he yelled and with that all the other campers ran to the cafeteria including Fluttershy I about to go when the coach yelled at me.
“Wait you! come here.”
‘Drat I really hope he’s not talking to me’ I thought
“Hey you skittles get your ass over her right now.” he raised his voice
I obeyed and walked over next to me and he knelt down to my eye level
“What's wrong kid why did you have that outburst.”
Tears began to flood my eyes but i refused to let them flood my face in between sniffles i started to reply
“Its just the way they were laughing at fluttershy and mocking her it just made me sick to my stomach and and I wanted to say something but then I thought that they might laugh at me and start to call me names so i just sat their and my stomach hurts and all i want to do is throw up. the tears were finally pouring down my face i tried to rub them away to no avail.
he simply sighed “ look skittles sometimes you have to do what is right and forget what people think you never regret doing the right thing and always regret not doing it okay.”
“But they might laugh and make fun of me.”
“Have you been listening SCREW what society thinks and do what you think is right got it?”
“Got it.”
“Alright now lets go get some lunch.”
We went to get lunch i sat by myself and by myself not yet ready to confront Fluttershy just yet, but i saw her sitting by herself at the corner of a table.
Soon lunch was over and they gave us the rest of the day to run around for fun.
Then I saw a couple of bullies picking on fluttershy then I remembered “SCREW what society thinks and do what you think is right got it?” One of them said “Nice going, Klutzershy!”They outta ground you permanently” “HA! My baby brother can fly better than you!” another said. I’ve had enough “Leave her alone!” I yelled as I ran over to them.
I’ve had enough i just did so I ran up to them and I angrily yelled at them and i might have challenged one of them to a race we went off and man did i leave him in the dust but after the race I realized that Fluttershy was gone soon i panicked “Wow great going Rainbow Dash you won a stupid race but lost fluttershy then i heard a cute giggle. I saw the forest ground below and realized that must have been Fluttershy so i quickly ran down their and found her safe and surrounded by animals, my heart quickly calmed itself and i ran over to her and tackle hugged her.
“Don’t scare me like that Fluttershy please I almost had a heart attack “ I said with panic
“Well i wouldn’t if you don’t make me fall.” she said giggling
”Oh that sorry well lets get going.”
“OK.”
As soon as we were heading up we saw both the young and old camp instructor both staring at up and i gulped thinking I was in serious trouble they both simply smiled
“I knew you’d be a good person skittles im proud of you”. he said with a smile
“But why and how am i a good person i could have killed fluttershy!”
“True but you also stood up for her now come on we got some more training to do you guys” so we all left to go do some more training
We arrived at what looked to be a cross between a skatepark and a dirty sewage plant
“Alright heres what were gonna do you guys have all at least heard of free running right”no one said no>
“Good now i want everyone to at least try to free run alright billy you’re up first
he ran and emidatley fell on his but t and benag to cry like a little baby it was so funny moreover because he picked on fluttershy well I guess that's karma for ya.
Soon it was spitfires turn to go she was pretty good lost her balance a couple of times but wasn’t half bad soon others followed some good some bad and others downright awful but then it was my turn all that training is finally gonna pay off. i ran and did amaizing stunts and wished and whooshed all over the place and i knew i was being impressive but unfortunately the fatal error of not tying my shoes caused me to fall and embarrassed myself and like last time they laughed at me . i went and took my seat and it was Fluttershy’s turn and I face palmed the image of fluttershy embarrassing or hurting herself made me feel uneasy. she ran and did a forward front roll and ran faster and faster doing amazing tricks like the running on the wall she was so amazing everyone's jaws dropped including mine. she ran and ran jumping and turning she was so awesome no one would ever suspect this of fluttershy. When she was done she. bowed and went to take her seat she sat right next to me. and there was a moment of silence then everyone snapped back into reality. and they called the next person up.
“PSST fluttershy were did you learn those moves.”
“Oh it was just the moment i guess.” she giggled
“No way that was no moment that was awesome.”
“thank you” she whispered.”
Soon after that day camp was a breeze and every day felt to be shorter and shorter By the final day me and fluttershy were sad.
“Hey flutters Looks like this is it.”
“Yeah Its really sad.” she began to tear up
“Hey don’t do that now you’ll get me doing it by the way I almost forgot to ask what school will you be going to?”
“Twin Lakes.”
“No way thats the one I go to hmm looks like this isn’t the end.”
“Rainbow Dash.”
“Yeah Fluttershy?”
“Thanks for everthing.”
“No Problems that’s what friends are for.”
“You're my best Friend.”
“Mine too and you’ll always be.”
We got on the bus to cloudsdale and what seemed like the shortest bus ride ever we got to the drop off me and fluttershy hugged and went our sepeate ways.

“Okay so wait wait wait let me get this straight fluttershy’s parents died and then your mom a human worshiper or whatever decided to take her in and thats it or what?” Scootaloo stated as if in a confused state
“I guess we could have summarize it like that.” Rainbow said rubbing the back of her head with her hoof.
“But but there's so much left unanswered and so many questions left unanswered and -”
She was quickly cut off by Rainbow Dash “Don’t work their squirt all in due time.” she said as she held a forehoof on the back of Scootaloo’s neck and drew her in for a quick hug. Fluttershy who was watching simply smiled and slowly got of the couch.
“Umm Scootaloo, Dash don’t you guys think its time to go to bed?” she said in a shy voice looking a them both and then staring at the ground
Rainbow turned her head to face her shy timid marefriend “Oh yeah sure come on squirt lets get you to bed you’ve got school tomorrow.” “ Nah it's friday so tomorrow's saturday she then got off the couch as did scootaloo then all three of them proceeded to go upstairs and they arrived in fluttershy’s room scootaloo looked and quickly saw how small the bed is
“OH i'm sorry scootaloo its so small looks like you have to squeeze in between us i’m sorry.”Rainbow then put a forehoof on fluttershy to calm her down but in fact scootaloo couldn’t be happier she was finally in a bed and going to sleep with Rainbow her idol this was awesome fluttershy got on the bed first then scootaloo and finally rainbow both elder pegesi gave scootaloo a loving embrace and drifted off into sleep.
Scootaloo looked at both of them and let out a sigh of relief no longer lost no longer alone now she had a family only one thing left to do “Hmmm I wonder what will i do tommorow go crusading or get to know my new parents.”
