Love Attempts

"What's up girls!" You called out catching the attention of the six girls. You could hear Rarity groan as she banged her head on the table. For a split second your expression went somber until you shook it off.

'Keep your smile on'

You sat down next to Rarity making her groan louder. You faked a chuckle while the rest of the girls stared at you puzzled.

"Aww come on Rarity, you know you're glad to see me." Rarity kept her head down hoping that you would go away. It takes a lot more than that to steer you away. So you decided to make small talk with the others.

"Rainbow Dash." Ah yes the captain of every sports team, also known as your former enemy. Back then the two of you were best friends until soccer tryouts. You both "auditioned" for the role of captain and crushed everyone else wanting to be captain as well.

The coach couldn't decide which one of you to choose so he placed You in a match against Rainbow Dash. Long story short you beat her 5-2. But the coach chose her over you saying that Rainbow showed more determination. Like, what the heck?

Needless to say you were pissed off. You won that game fair and square yet he picked her. Since she was your best friend you congratulated her. The coach still give you a position on the team which you graciously accepted.

The first game came around and Rainbow Dash was a complete ball hog. Every time the ball came to you she came at the last second and snatched it from you. You were okay with it until it happened all throughout the game.

The other players tried to pass it to you knowing full well that you can score a goal easily. Whenever Rainbow Dash "stole" the ball from you she would miss every kick. It got up to a point where you took off your jersey and left the game.

Since then you ignored her presence every time she came up to you. That was until now.

"H-hey d-d-dude." Rainbow Dash nervously said extending her hand towards you. You noticed how shaky her arm was so you decided to have a little fun with her.

"What's the matter Dash? Still sore over the loss?" She gasped making her arm wobble even more. You took her hand and shook it firmly. "I see your grip hasn't changed a bit since the last time we squared off." You released her hand and turned to the next person.

"Applejack." One of Mrs. Smith's grandchildren, you know her pretty well because of the days where you help clean after the cafeteria. Applejack and Mrs. Smith often invited you to their farm where you met their other siblings.

"Well howdy there partner! It's been too long since we last talked ya know?" Her southern accent is one of the best features about her other than her hat.

"Likewise my friend." You replied turning to the next person.

"Hey there Fluttershy." You greeted causing Fluttershy to hide behind her hair. Typical. There was no point trying to talk to her so you turned to the next perosn.

"Hey there....." You stared at the unfamiliar girl before realizing that she was the pink haired girl from Science Class. "I don't think we met before." You introduced yourself and waited for her to do the same.

"I-I'm R-Pinkie Lie-Pie!" Geez, she's more shyer than Fluttershy.

"Hi Rpinkie Liepie!" You said causing everyone to chuckle while Rpinkie Liepie ran out the doors. Though you could've sworn that her cheeks were dark crimson.

You laughed as you ignored the last person at the edge of the table and turned your attention back to Rarity.

"I feel like your trying to ignore me Rarity".

"That's because I'm trying to darling."

"Well....you're talking to me aren't you?" You queered ticking off Rarity. "My offer still stands you know." This caught her attention, she stared at you with a serious gaze.

"I said it once and I'll say it again. The answer is NO."

Attempt 22 Failed

While most around the table were perplexed you sighed sadly as another attempt failed.

"Well there's always tomorrow." You switched to your cheerful expression. "See ya later Rarebear!" You got up and headed through the doors wondering just what are you doing with your life.

"Wwwhat was that all about Rarity?" Applejack questioned.

"Nothing. Just...nothing."
