Another Year at Camp Everfree!
Chapter 4- Jewel!

Soarin's P.O.V

As I woke up the next morning, I found Fleetfoot in my face.

“Good morning Soarin. How was your night!!!”

“Good. Why do you care? You never did.”

“Well, I want to make sure that your night was restful!”

“What do you want?”

“Nothing. I'm fine. Just want to know if you're okay.”

“You never cared about me. Only when you wanted something from me. What is it?”

“Ugh, fine. Can you get me a new camp counselor shirt? Mine got dirty yesterday.”

“Why can't you do it yourself?”

“Because Timber annoys me. He talks about this girl named Twilight all the time. Every time he has a task from Gloriosa, he does it, then goes to Twilight. Then, if it isn't Twilight, he's saying I'm doing things wrong. How is sharpening a pencil wrong? A pencil???!!”

“Fleetfoot, he’s just messing with you. You really need to lighten up!”

“Me??? Lighten up?? You know what? I'm doing this myself. Forget you and your girlfriend!”

“Woah, woah, woah. Girlfriend?”

“Rainbow Dash.”

“She's not my girlfriend. I like her but not like that. We're just friends.”

“Okay, I believe you.” She said sarcastically.

“Great! Now, stop stressing me about it.” I said as I packed my bag then I went down the hill to the camp.

“Mmmhm. That boy got it bad.” Fleetfoot replied while shaking her head.

As I walked down the trail, I saw Pinkie Pie.

“Heyo Soarin!! What's up? The sky, duh! Anyway, where ya going?”

“To see Gloriosa. I need to give these to her.”

“I can do that for you!! I'll be happy too. So, you can focus on what's more important.”

“What's more important than Gloriosa’s work?”

Pinkie took my head and shifted it to Rainbow Dash's direction.

“Oh, no no no no! I don't like her. I don't know where you got that from.”

“Neither have I.”

“What?”

“Oh well. Go on.”

“And do what?”

“Make a move. Act flirty.”

“Act flirty?”

“Yup, flirt with her. And if it doesn't work, make sure it does. I'll watch you from the sidelines!”

“Okay, here goes.”

I took a deep breath and started walking towards Rainbow Dash. She was with Sunset, Rarity, and Fluttershy. They were making bird's nest. I pushed my hair back and had a grin on my face.

“Hey there good lookin.” I replied as I winked at Rainbow Dash.

“Um, who are you talking to?” She asked confused.

“Uh, you gorgeous.” I replied as I kissed her hand. She was blushing and Sunset and Rarity were giggling. Fluttershy we smiling.

“Um, Soarin? What are you doing?” Rainbow Dash asked as she was getting confused.

“Nothing, hot cakes.” I said as I wiggled my eyebrows at her. She looked like she wanted to get away from me.

“Hot cakes?” Sunset asked. She then looked at Pinkie Pie in the distance. Pinkie Pie shrugged her shoulders and gave have a weak smile. Sunset rolled her eyes and face palmed.

“Soarin. Can you please stop? You're making me uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.”

“How about we get close together? Maybe you can get comfortable.” I replied as I pushed her closer to me.

“Ugh! Soarin! I don't know what gotten a hold of you, but you need to stop. Now!” She shouted as she pushed me away from her and stormed away.

I stopped and Sunset was shaking her head in dismay. Rarity and Fluttershy was in shock. Pinkie Pie was embarrassed.

“Sorry Soarin. Didn't know things will take a turn like that.” Pinkie replied while scratching the back of her head.

“Well, that was quite entertaining. But, I didn't know she would scream like that.” Fluttershy replied.

“Ahem! Maybe you need a little help from the Love Doctor!” Rarity replied as she gave me a wink.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

Ugh! What's up with Soarin? Ever since we became friends, he's been so crazy. Anyway, as I gotten away from him, I decided to make some paper planes.

Somewhere in the distance……….

“Okay! First thing. Don't act flirty. She hates that. Just be yourself, darling.”

“So be a nervous wreck and can't be able to talk around her?”

“No, no! Just be yourself and make her laugh. Try to be funny. Not like “haha” funny but funny enough to make her smile.” Sunset added. Rarity nodded her head in agreement.

“Okay, just be myself. Okay, here goes.”

Back to Rainbow Dash's P.O.V……

Okay, I need to focus and concentrate. I just happened to remember what Soarin did to me. Did he mean the kiss he did on my hand? I thought about this and then I heard…

“WAAHHH!!!!”

Soarin fell down a hill and he fell near me. He was holding his ankle and then he started to cry a bit.

“Oh my gosh! Soarin, are you okay?” I replied as I helped him up.

“Yeah, I'm okay. Just tripped and then fell and hurt myself and then got a boo-boo.”

I giggled at his stupidity. He's so funny when he wants to be.

“Hehe, so. Why did you act crazy before?”

“Sorry, I was just acting stupid. Sorry for making you uncomfortable.”

“It's okay. Just never do it again, Soar.”

“Soar?”

“What? I have gave you a nickname.”

“Okay, let me give you one.”

“Don't make it Rainbow or Dash because my friends call me that. Don't call me Dashie because Pinkie Pie will get mad. Just think of something new.”

“Okay. Hmmm, how about Jewel?”

“Jewel? Why jewel?”

“Because you're pretty like one.”

I looked at him and I was shocked. My cheeks turned red and my stomach started to get butterflies. I was very cheeky and my cheeks were red.

“Oh, uh, hehehehe, um, hehehehe, thanks.” I said sheepishly. My cheeks were still red and I couldn't even look at him.

“Hehe, no problem. Just telling the truth, Jewel.” He replied with with wink. I kept getting red every time. He's so kind.

“You're very nice.”

“I'm only nice to people who deserve kindness.”

“Awwwww. Stop it!”

“Why?”

“You're making me embarrassed.”

“Does that bother you?”

“Yes!”

“Well, I'll keep complimenting you, Jewel.”

“Stop.”

“Jewel.”

I kept blushing. I didn't want him to see me so I kept scooting down on the bench we were sitting on. Turns out, every time I moved over, he would follow me. This kept going on and then I fell off the bench.

“Haha! You okay, Jewel?”

“Hehe, I'm fine.” I replied as I grabbed his hand. He pulled me up.

“So, what do you want to do, Jewel?”

“Maybe we can help with the camp gift. See what we can do.”

“Okay. Let's go Jewel!”

We walked together to the room and we were amazed at the progress. The wall was decorated perfectly and then there were chairs and the only thing everyone was working on, was the piano.

“Hey everyone.” Soarin replied.

“Oh hey. We were just about to take a lunch break. Maybe you two can work together as a team while we take a break.” Pinkie replied as she winked at the both of us. Soarin and I were blushing.

“So, what do you say, Jewel?”

“JEWEL???!!!!!” Rarity exclaimed as she got happy.

“Oh, um, that's Soarin's nickname for me.” I said while blushing a bit. Everyone was looking at the both of us in shock.

“We'll just be going then!” Applejack replied as she grabbed all of my friends out the door.

“We'll be back soon!” Sunset Shimmer exclaimed as the door slammed.

Me and Soarin were looking at the room, how beautiful it was. All there was left to do, was the piano.

“Jewel? Wanna work on the piano?”

“Sure. They really just fixed everything already.”

Soarin was already painting the frame. All we had to do was paint. Soarin was using the black paint. And I was painting the other side of the piano with black paint. As I was about to finish, Soarin splattered some yellow paint on my face. He had a can of black, yellow, and green paint near him.

“Jewel, you got a little something on ya face there.” He snickered.

“Oh really? Looks like you got some too, Soar!” I shouted as I splattered some red paint on his face. We started laughing at each other.

“Okay, we need to stop. We don't want your friends hard work to be wasted.”

“Yeah, you're right. Or are you?” I replied as I splattered blue paint on his clothes.

He did the same to me, only the paint was green. I gave a sly grin as I took a big paintbrush filled with blue paint and was about to spread it all over him. Lucky, he has good reflexes, so he jumped right on top of me, and tried to get the paintbrush out of my hand. Eventually, he knocked it out of my hands. I tried to escape from being under him but, he pinned me down hard.

“Haha, give up, Jewel?”

“Ugh, never!”

“Okay then!”

“Soarin! Stop!”

I started to laugh and then he was leaning closer to my face. Eventually, I stopped laughing and now the heat from my cheeks started to rise. He seemed to be blushing, too. We stared at each other for a while.

Close to You!

We heard muffled voices from outside. The door swung open.

“Yeah!! I'm glad we had the break. I'm powered up!!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she bounced but stopped in her tracks. Everyone saw us on the ground. We both looked up at my friends.

“I-It's not w-what it looks like!” I shouted. I didn't want them to think about things.

“W-We were just, p-playing around.” Soarin said sheepishly.

“Uh, is it mating season already?” Pinkie Pie asked. She also received a punch on the arm from Sunset.

“Pinkie!!” Applejack shouted.

“And humans don't mate, only animals mate, Pinkie.” Twilight added.

“Sorry. To be honest, that was a good joke!” Pinkie replied while patting herself on the back.

“What happened in here? Y'all have paint all over yer faces.” Applejack asked.

“Well, um, you see, we were having fun.” I said as I was blushing. Soarin got off of me and helped me up.

“Well, it's nice to have fun, but please don't use it for paint standards. We did lot of hard work. And we don't want it to be payed off.” Rarity replied as she was fixing the piano. “Nice. Job with painting, though.”

“Uh, Rarity? There's blue paint on the floor.” Fluttershy stated as she was pointing to the paintbrush that I had in my hands.

There was a big splash of blue paint on the floor. I just remembered Soarin knocked the brush out of my hand.

“I'll clean it up!” Twilight chirped as she had a white cloth cleaning up the mess.

“Twilight, you shouldn't be doing this. The people who did this horrible fate should be the one doing this.” Rarity wined.

“Ugh, Rarity for one day can you not complain. Is that so hard to do?” Applejack asked as she was annoyed.

“Look, all I'm saying is that Rainbow Dash and Soarin should fix this. Not Twilight.”

“The gal can do whatever she wants.”

“Girls?” Fluttershy whispered. But, nobody heard her.

“So, you're saying my argument is invalid?!”

“I guess I am!”

“Girls! Please! This isn't going to work. We can't be arguing like this.” Fluttershy spoke in a harsh tone.

“Fluttershy’s right. We shouldn't be arguing. If it helps, I'll clean it up. No hard feelings.” Soarin replied as he took the cloth from Twilight and started cleaning up the mess.

“Much better!” Rarity cheered as she gave have a big smile.

“Great! Now look what you've done?” I said angrily.

“What have I done? Look, what you've done! I'm saving the camp with this gift!” Rarity shouted at me.

“Well, you have a funny way of showing it.” I grumbled.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Sorry, it's just that-” I replied as I was interrupted.

“Jewel, it's okay. I'll do it. I won't feel bad. It's fine.” Soarin smiled.

“No, it's not fine!”

“Jewel-”

“Don't ‘Jewel’ me!!”

Everybody stepped away from me. I got mad. Rarity always think she can get her way.

“You know what? Just forget it! I'm going to play tetherball!” I shouted as I slammed the door.

Soarin’s P.O.V

“What just happened?” Fluttershy asked.

“Listen, you guys can play games. I'll take care of everything. I'll even finish the piano.”

“You sure Soarin? I don't wanna impose.” Applejack reassured me.

“No, no. It's okay. You go now! I’ll be ok.”

Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie looked at each other confused.

“If that’s what you want. Come on, girls.” Sunset replied as she motioned her hand to state a signal for them to leave.

I started to clean up the mess Rainbow Dash and I made. After I finished cleaning it up, I started to paint the piano. I took fresh black paint and started to paint it. After a few minutes, I let the piano dry and then I looked at the door of the room. It looked plain and boring. I decided to change it up a bit. I grabbed the black and white paint and started to draw a few music notes on the door. Then, the white was used to frame the door. I picked up the yellow paint and wrote the words: “Music Room: A place for campers to sound like angels!” I looked at it and it was amazing.

“Great job, Soarin. This was a perfect piece.” I said as I patting myself on the back.

“It really was.” A voice replied.

I jumped around and saw Rainbow Dash smiling at my art.

“I didn't know you were an artist!” She replied as she was in awe.

“Well, now you know.”

“Sorry about Rarity and her stuck up attitude.”

“It's okay. I'm done with the piano!”

“Really? Lemme see it!”

We walked into the room and all you heard was a gasp.

“Wow!! It's beautiful!!” She exclaimed while her face was beaming.

“Thanks! So, we're basically done!”

“Yeah, basically.”

We both sat on the chairs and then we didn't do anything after that.

“I really like the piano. The paint looks fresh and beautiful.”

“But, neither can compare to your beauty!” I replied while blushing.

“Shoot! Did I just say that?!” I thought. I looked at her and she looked at me. We both were blushing, and staring at each other.

“You guys!!! We're suppose to be at the camp fire right now!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she reminded us.

“Okay!” I replied. Rainbow Dash and I walked to the campfire area, and saw everyone there. We both sat together on a log. Pinkie Pie was roasting marshmallows. Fleetfoot smirked at me and I knew what she was thinking about.

"Great. Now, she's never going to get this out of her mind." I thought as I sat on the log with Rainbow Dash.
