Aborted Romance

Rainbow Dash sighed, placing her cheek on her hand as she looked out to the river. “This is boring! How can you handle this?” she asked Silver Spoon, looking up at her.

“Sometimes it’s good to be bored once in awhile,” she said, smiling as she focused on her line.

“You don’t look bored though,” Rainbow said, sweat dropping. “Alright, but if either of us catches a fish, we’re doing what I want next.” A few minutes after, her line tugged and she frowned competitively, pulling back as hard as she could, trying to reel it in.

Silver Spoon burst into laughter when she saw what it was.

“Ugh!” Rainbow threw the boot back into the lake. “Whatever. I will catch one!”

Five hours and three cans of tuna later, Rainbow Dash finally caught a fish. A very small one, but a fish nonetheless. They packed up the stuff and Rainbow led Silver to the nearby bowling alley.

“Alright, this is more like it! It’s a bit late, but this place is better at night anyways,” Rainbow said, holding the door open for her.

Silver Spoon walked in, looking around. “Well, at least I have a chance to beat you.”

“Heh, we’ll see about that,” Rainbow said, paying for a game for the two. She got Silver and herself a soda and they sat on the seats in the alley, pulling on their shoes.

Rainbow Dash was the first to go, picking up a medium sized ball. “Alright.” She aimed it at the middle pin, and rolled it at fast as she could, but was disappointed when it rolled to the side a bit, knocking down only six pins. She hid it and walked back to go again. She tried again to hit it straight, but missed one pin.

“Dammit. I could’ve got a strike then,” she said, and Silver Spoon went next, moving to the edge of the bowling line. She rolled it down near the edge.

Rainbow smirked.“Aiming for the gutter are we?”

Silver Spoon turned around and smiled as the ball twisted to the side, hitting the middle and knocking down all the pins.

“N-No way!” Rainbow said. “How did you—”

“It’s all about the wrist,” Silver said, sitting down and taking a sip.

Rainbow Dash blinked and took her next turn, standing straight. Wrist… she moved a bit to the side, rolling the ball down. She hit the middle pin, and knocked down all but one. She gulped and grabbed another ball, aiming further to the left, she crossed her fingers behind her back as it neared the single pin, eventually knocking it down.

“Yes! Spare!” Rainbow said, winking.

“And who do you have to thank?” Silver said, taking another sip.

Rainbow Dash smirked and walked up to her, lifting up her glass. “You, of course.” She said, kissing her forehead. “Now, come on, show me what you’re made of!”
