A Dash of Zap

After a couple more minutes of talking with each other, everybody pretty much broke up and went their own way. And little did Rainbow know, that as soon as Rarity left the coffee place, her fate was sealed. At least for another week or so...

--------At CPA...
Indigo Zap had a bad feeling about today, she had probably failed her math quiz, her peers weren't exactly the most welcoming, and she hadn't seen her friends the entire day, no doubt thanks to Principal Finch, as she called their principal. But as soon as she settled down with her friends, she was sure that the bad parts to this day were over with. And she should have knocked on wood as soon as she thought that, because guess who came barging in? Canterlot High's relative major fashionista, that's who. Rarity. She shuddered, remembering the time that Rarity had tried to put a dress on her. She could only imagine what Rainbow had to go through, being one of Rarity's closest friends and all. She was probably Rarity's living breathing fashion mannequin. She could only imagine the look on Rainbow's face! She burst out a raspy laugh. Complete with a volume so loud that half the people in the room looked at her as if she had AIDS or something. Whatever, let them stare. They have to deal with her, not the other way around. At least it helped Rarity find her faster.

"Indigo!", Rarity said as she rushed over. "Oh thank Celestia I found you!"

"Rarity!", Sour Sweet said, looking pleased. "How nice to see you. Because you totally didn't come at an inconvenient time at all!"

"Okay, then?", Rarity said, clearly confused by Sour Sweet's comment.

"I don't mean to be crude so I really must talk to you in private.", Rarity said, gesturing at Indigo Zap.

"Okay then. Whatever. That's perfectly fine. Because we totally weren't trying to relax at all!", Sour Sweet added.

"Okay then?", Rarity said for the second time that day, as she stared puzzlingly at her. "So can we, um, talk?", Rarity said, directing her attention once again to the blue haired jock sitting in the middle of the group.

"Yeah, sure, whatever's cool with you dude.", Indigo said, and let herself be dragged out of the room full of friends. Rarity cringed at Indigo's grammar.

"Here's the thing," Rarity started, hesitating, "It's really not proper, but-"

"Yes?", Indigo said tapping her foot.

"I'm really very sorry I'm my experience this is a very personal question-", Rarity said, stressing out.

"Well spit it out already!", Indigo Zap said, impatient as always.

"Do you have a specific preference for girls?", Rarity asked.

"Yeah, I like chics, why?", Indigo asked.

"Well, because I'm trying to set a friend up, and it would be a lot easier if you agreed to meeting her so she knows that you don't have a problem with me setting you two up!", Rarity blubbered.

"Uh, well I do!", Indigo said. "Who would wanna go out with a dyke like me anyways? I intimidate people!"

"Well the girl I have in mind won't be intimidated!", Rarity promised eagerly. "She'll rise to the challenge."

"Yeah right!", Indigo said, walking back to her friends.

"Indigo please!", Rarity said falling to the ground and bawling.

"I'm too headstrong! I'll blow her out of the water! This has got to be some sort of joke!", Indigo said desperately.

"But it's not! It's not a joke!", Rarity said, lying on the ground. Pounding her fists up and down on the linoleum floor. She looked like a high school toddler. Which kind of satisfied Indigo in a mean, dark, and twisted way. Yet they were beginning to make a scene. And that was one thing Indigo did not want. Rarity was now clinging to Indigo's leg, wailing. So Indigo said the only thing she could say.

"Yes. Rarity, you can set me up with this mystery girl!", Indigo yelled. "Just please leave me alone! And quit clinging to my leg, and pounding on the floor.", she said. And let's not forget the bawling.", Indigo added, craftily.

Rarity glared. "Fine!", she said, standing back up, and dusting herself off. "Just come to Canterlot High's track at 4:00 sharp tomorrow. And be ready to handle your date. She is pretty headstrong. And very good at soccer." Rarity said the last sentence with a wink, as of giving her a big clue or something. But then Indigo realized who it possibly could be. Who it was...

I mean, there are no dating restrictions when it comes to Canterlot High, right? And Rarity was saying that it was someone just as headstrong, right? But it couldn't possibly be who she thought it was, could it? Indigo thought...
