Life imitating art.

She zoomed by him; a flash of rainbow colored hair as he held the box in his hands. "Hey Rainbow? Wait I got something for you." Peter tried to say to the speedy girl, Rainbow slowed her pace to a walk as he was beside her, she checked the time and huffed softly.

"Sorry Pete, I gotta get to a track meet to get too." She said about to speed back up, Peter tried to speed up with her. Rainbow took this as a challenge, as she often did whenever some one saw it opt to try a mimic her actions whatever they where. Rainbow grinned and smirked as she got into her runners position and burst down the hall, she figured that with that box in his hands, Peter would be in the dust. Peter may not have been very athletic but he was actually in good shape, albeit thin. Not to mention the box was almost empty by this point.

"Rainbow I...just...want." He said between pants as he ran beside the racing girl, Rainbow was a more capable of controlling her breath to speak as she ran. Peter and Rainbow where neck and next the sports field door was only a few paces away from them.

"Heheh hey Pete, you're pretty good for a bookworm," she playfully quipped as she reached for the door. Rainbow burst through the door and went into a flip and flipped on her hands, it was a few front flips on the grass before she stuck the landing like the athlete she was, hands in the air with a victor's grin on her lips. "But not good enough to beat an awesome girl like me." She turned to look at him with her hands on her hips and a slight sashaying cock of them to the side. A perfect blend of her sporty tomboyish nature, with her feminine grace and charm. As she flashed a V sign with her finger and winked.

"If...You're...done...showing off..." He said between pants before sucking in the crisp afternoon air and breathing hard to restore his lung capacity. "I've got the books you wanted Dashie." He said as he opened the long-box and read off the titles. "Daring Do #65; Mare do well #34, Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods...in hardcover, and The first issue of Black Cat, an oldie but a goodie."

"Pete I told you I have A track meet and can't take these now." Rainbow said in a huff as she turned to see Spitfire, Soarin, Lightning dust, and Bulk ('He's good at the hammer and shot but can't jump for jack.' As Spitfire said) waving her over, as the Crystal prep and San Romero High transfers holding their javelins and shot puts like weapons. Smirking and snickering with determination, one girl with a bad set of goggles on her blue poofed hair even flipped the Wonderbolts the double bird.

"Jeez...tough competition today, she's so lucky the coach Didn't see that." Rainbow said as she adjusted her windbreak and laced her track shoes tightly.

"I'll be watching and waiting for you to pick up your books okay Rainbow?" He asked her, noticing no one was in the stands for either team.

"It's not even a competitive meet today either, the teams are just here for practice, so...are you sure you wanna do that Pete? I mean there's really no reason for you to stay." Rainbow Dash said before stretching a few warm ups, Peter couldn't help but admire how flexible the athletic girl was, being able to reach with her nose almost touching the ground without even bending her knees.

"It's okay Rainbow, it may not be a competitive meet but you have my back on this." He said blushing softly as she looked back at him between her knees.

"Enjoying the view a bit much aren't we?" She said with a chuckle as she playfully gave her hips and by extension her rear a brief (but enough for him) little shake. Peter gasped and turned away stuttering nervously.

"I..I'm sorry Rainbow, I was only...I..." He blushed hard and tugged on his shirt collar with a chuckle of his own.

"Hey it's OK Pete I'm only goofing with you. I'll be with you when the meet's over, just grab a seat maybe once I'm done here...we could...if you want to...hang a bit?" She said giving a little playful gaze at him as her teammates impatiently began shouting her to hurry up and get on the track with the runners. Rainbow was definitely flirting with him as she fluttered her eyelashes at him, something the normal sporty tomboy Rainbow dash wouldn't do unless she absolutely liked someone.

"I...I would like that a lot Rainbow, I'll right there in the bleachers rooting for your team...even though there's no contest."

"Hey when your with me everything's a contest, Now let's kick some..." Rainbow said fist pumping the air making her way to the runner track, only to be interrupted by a coach.

"Watch that tongue of yours if you like being on this team Ms. Dash!" The Wonderbolts coach Ms. Fleetfoot said ready with her red card.

"What? I was gonna say tail!" She said defensiveness even though Peter Could see her fingers where crossed.
