Chapter 1 A new Rival appears?!

Chapter 1

A new Rival appears?!

After watching the game, everyone was going home... well not everyone.

the team of Manehatten was scouting the match for new players, however, they found that the match wasn't fantastic, both teams were equal hoofed and Ponyville won by 2 point difference, still, a win was a win though the scout "Time to make a little chat with the coach of team Ponyville" he said to himself.

In the meantime, after Rainbow Dash was done hugging Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, she walked to Applejack "Hey! AJ, what did you think of the match? pretty awesome right?" Applejack looked towards Rainbow "Ah has never been as impressed of those 2 in a long time! Still, had we given them a little more training they would have performed a little better." AJ pointed out "Still not bad if I so say myself!", "Come on! just agree with me that they were awesome!" RD nearly shouted, "Sure, but it was a difference of 1 goal!" AJ said grimly, "That is true... Still considering how Pinkie can't buck trees like she can with balls and Fluttershy too shy to do most things, they are both awesome in aspect!" RD pointed out, their discussion continued a little while.

The scout saw Rainbow Dash walk by and asked interrupting their discussion "Hey are you the coach of team Ponyville?"

RD and AJ looked up "Yea? me and Applejack both are, Why?"

"My name is Third Seven, just call me Seven, I am a scout of the team of Manehatten and was wondering if you guys would like to play a game with us, of course, if you win, your team will get a medal and some prize money, so how about it?" Seven asked

RD and AJ looked towards each other in shock, AJ who was first to speak up asked, "How much money are we talkin' about, and if we play when is the match?"

Seven grinned devilish "Well when, we can talk about, but how much?" he grabbed something out of his bag "This much!"

He showed a check with '10.000 bit'.

AJ and RD gasped, with RD being totally in shock unable to talk.

Twilight walked up and asked, "What's going on?"

AJ whispered in Twilight's ear "A scout of the team in Manehatten wants to play against us and if we win as in Pinkie and Fluttershy they will win 10 thousand bits." she whispered

Twilight gasped, regained her thoughts and asked "if my friends win as in the whole team? Coach and trainer included? also, what happens if 'we' lose?"

Seven stroked his chin and said "Well if they lose, nothing happens next to lost morale and pride, and yes this will be split by determining we performed the best and the least when it comes to the players normally, but it's like this: players get 50% of the cut, while the coach get 25% and the trainer also 25%, this is only if you don't have more people hired, also you guys will determine what every player gets and what not"

"I see" Twilight said calculating the numbers

"This could increase if you sell merchandise, food and other goods, also if you are thinking of a career in our sport, it's recommended that you use a field and equipment specially made for buckball!" Said the tall figure in the back

"LUNA?" Twilight nearly shouted

"It's good to thee again!" Luna said getting hugged by Twilight

"Y- Your highness!" Seven screamed

"What are you doing here?" RD asked finally relaxed

"Well I am the highest owner of the Buckball society, I create tournaments and official matches," Luna said gracefully

"I see" Twilight said

"So... you want to play an official match between Ponyville and Manehatten?" Luna asked towards Seven who still was bowed

"Y- Yes your highness!" Seven said

"I see, so if Ponyville were to agree, this would happen: 1. if either team losses, morale and pride will be lost, 2. If Ponyville wins they get a medal of honor and 10g Bits, 3. If Manehatten wins they get a medal of bravery and get 2g Bits from the organization. Is this correct?" Luna asked

"Yes, your highness!" Seven said now looking towards RD and AJ

"I see, well does Ponyville agree?" Luna asked

"Yes-" AJ and RD started but got cut off by Twilight

"I am afraid that isn't possible," Twilight said using magic to show her more princess side.

"What do you mean?" Seven and Luna asked at the same time

"Well, Ponyville Buckball team is: 1. not an official representative of Ponyville, 2. they are not even an official team, 3. The Coach and trainer can not decide for the whole team yet, they do not have the paperwork filled in, 4. A scout cannot create a match between 2 teams only the coach can, and last but not least 5. and as princess and a real representative of Ponyville, I WILL NOT allow yet, they are not prepared to take on more matches under Celestia's rule number 234532, page 666" Twilight said gasping for air

It took Seven and Luna to process that for a few minutes

seven was first to speak "Well if you aren't ready yet, here have my card, call us when you are ready, we will be waiting," he said before giving his card and walking off

Luna stood still, still processing what was just said.

"Or simply they aren't ready, pretty much," Twilight said sheepishly

"One moment let me ask you to write down what you said and give it to me in paper form," Luna asked absentmindedly

"All right, SPIKE!" Twilight screamed and heard Spike running behind Twilight

"Write down everything I just said" Spike nodded and began writing

"Here Twi" Spike said

Twilight gave Luna the scroll

"And let me call sister over here," Luna said with Celestia teleporting behind her

"What's the matter, lulu?" Celestia asked

"Read this and tell me what it says in normal words" Luna gave Celestia the scroll

Celestia stared at the scroll, then starting to read it

...

...

...

"In easy words, this team is unable to create matches, because they aren't a real team yet!" Celestia said out loud

"Thank you, Celestia," Luna said finally relaxing

"Twilight, please go away with your team, I have heard enough, here is my card if you need me," Luna said before teleporting her and Celestia away.

Twilight looked sheepishly towards AJ and RD before walking off

"Well that was a thing..," RD said

"Yea... how about we make this a real team?" AJ asked RD

"How about... Tomorrow? Today was really odd and it made me tired, plus we need to talk to Fluttershy and Pinkie about this, also snips!" RD pointed out.

"I agree!" AJ said while walking off

Pinkie and Fluttershy watched RD and AJ walking off,

Snips who was busy trying to do... whatever he was doing.

Pinkie turned to Fluttershy and Snips "Hey? What if we really did become an official team?"

"It would be pretty cool!" Snips answered

"I am not sure, I mean why would we start it?" Shy said

"For the money?" Snips offered

"Because it's fun?" Pinkie offered

"I guess, still I feel like something is off It's as if I get a strong sense of Deja vú" Shy said

"Meh Let's just check it out, we can always say if we don't want this." Pinkie said causing Snips and Fluttershy to nod.

Chapter 1 Ponyville representative

Chapter 1

Ponyville representative

RD was laying on his back staring at the ceiling and thought hmm... my own team together with AJ? I would love a second income but I am not sure the weather team would allow it. after all Cloudsdale had many teams, the weather team also had its own team.

Still it wouldn't hurt, right? but what would Fluttershy think of it? and Pinkie? and Snips? RD though

"Hey! Rainbow!" Someone shouted outside

RD look outside and saw AJ

"Wassup AJ?" RD said chill

AJ rolled her eye "Oh nothing just wondering if we should set up that team or not."

"Oh well I would love to but... remember 'Princess' Twilight didn't allow it" RD pointed out

"Oh yeah, but we could talk to her about it!" AJ points back

"Just come down here would ya?"

"Ay, ay, I am coming!" RD said

RD flew down, the moment she did, she saw Twilight walking towards AJ

"Hey! Twi!" RD shouted

Twilight looked up "Morning to you too rainbow,"

"Mornin' Twi," AJ said smiling

"So... my bet is that you called me here, because of yesterday right?" Twilight said

Everyone around instantly noticed her wearing her Princess outfit

"Yup!" AJ said with RD confused looking

"Okay so... Why couldn't we become a team on the spot?" RD nearly shouted

"Also don't say anything about the paperwork, I finished everything last night, sure without AJ, but I filed AJ and I, as coach and trainer with Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Snips as a team," RD said gasping for air, also AJ eyed her then shrugged when Twilight opened her mouth, closed it, looked towards AJ and putting extra attention to AJ

"What about you AJ?" Twilight said with a sign

"I made sure to clear a space on the apple farm tah place the team under training, while I also asked Apple bloom to make some wooden equipment for them to use and I planned to sponsor the team, by advertising my products on special team clothing that is getting made by Rarity, I also heard the cakes are going to sponsor the team by selling food for by the games, the clubhouse is getting build as we speak, we will get 10% bits of all the food they sold, should I continue?" AJ said proud, RD just stared at her while being very impressed, Twilight just stared almost shocked

Twilight signed again and asked, "Next to prize money, what other incomes are guaranteed?"

"Next to the food income?" AJ asked, causing Twilight to nod

"Well my farm will also sell food on the games of which also 10% will be given to the team, If after the clothing Rarity makes more customers come in of, atleast per customer, per piece, 10% per piece times how many times it enters her store within our week is what we get, let see what else, I myself will create special energy bars for by training, so... like... hmm, I estimate amount after a game in bits would be, within 1 week time, 700 bits and 6 gems per week neutral income" AJ finished and eyed a blinking Twilight

"I see, that's the normal ratio, what is needed to become official.... I see.." Twilight nodded and wrote it down

"Lucky for you girls, I called everyone in to see if they agree and/or are part of it," Twilight said relaxed smiling

Fluttershy was there first "If I would want to you this 'Official team' éh? Well what do I get out of it?" she asked after hearing everything said to her

"Depends on what you think would be a good standard income" RD answered

"Hmm, I think 200 bits is reasonable," Fluttershy said rubbing her chin

"I see... what do you think RD?" AJ asked

"Hmm, I think it's reasonable, very well Flutters, Just sign here that you are part of it, and here that this is your new income." RD points towards the locations

Snips was second on the scene, "You want me to play on an Official team? Sure! and you want to know how much I want as income?"

"Yes" AJ nodded

"Hmm, I think 50 bits are enough." AJ's eyes grew a few sizes

"Umm, RD what do you think?"

"I will give you 150 bits if you work for us, are you okay with that?" RD asked

"Umm, okay, sure!" Snips said happily and signed the 2 contracts

Pinkie was last on the scene and said before RD could say anything "Don't worry about income, I will get extra pocket money from the Cakes if I join the team."

"As much as that is okay... sadly under the rules, we need to give you an income out of the safe for you to count as a player" RD said

"Oh well give me the minimum income then," Pinkie said

"100 bits it will be," RD noted with pinkie signing both contracts

"Now AJ how much do you want to be paid?" RD asked causing AJ to raise her eyebrows

"Wait ah, minute, I need be paid too?" AJ asked

"Yup, and considering how much bits we already lose 250 bits are left for more income, I say we split it," RD offered

"RD I am a sponsored Trainer, I do not need an Income I get paid separate from the income, this is with the rules," AJ stated

"AJ your luck then I expected that and asked the society for such contract, fill this is and give it to me, I will send it to the organization," RD said giving AJ the contract.

"Now about my own income, you see Cloudsdale have a lot of teams, this includes the weather team, they might fire me if I join this team, Lets do it like this, my normal income is 125 bits, were I to be fired I will get the additional 125 bits income, Deal?" RD asked looking towards the other,

Everyone nodded and said "Deal!"

"Good, fill it in AJ, as in right here and now, and I will send it with the rest of the files," RD said bluntly

"Here! all filed in," AJ said giving it to RD

"Thanks, everyone, let sum it up really quick what everyone will do now..." RD grabbed her fake glasses and put it on

"Pinkie could you check out what you sell at the games, make a list of it and put it in the new clubhouse, that I can see from here...." Pinkie nodded and ran off

"AJ you check if all the preparation for the club is done, also give the clubhouse some paint and some furniture," AJ nodded and walked off

"Rarity make a list of estimated income we get and you get to always have a deadline," Rarity nodded

"Snips you check if the current equipment can still be use if so put it on the new training field, also check if the new equipment is useful," Snips nodded and ran off

"Fluttershy you check if training schedule and your pet feeding schedule won't overlap by making a schedule about when you are available and if possible, that you check when Pinkie can train and Snips can train so that we know when to train and what not," Fluttershy nodded

"And lastly Twilight you can choose if want to support the team and what not, I need to go bye!" Rainbow said quickly before flying off so quickly that she accidently set off a sonic rainboom,

Twilight looked off in the distance and though 'I might need to reschedule and talk to Luna about this.'

Chapter 1 First training and loose ends

Chapter 1

First training and loose ends

While RD was flying towards The Society, Everyone else was done with the mini-task given by RD

So they decided to start training with the help from AJ and Apple Bloom,

"So ya done makin' the equipment I ask ya ta make?" AJ asked Apple Bloom

"Yup! and I made some equipment that ah saw on a magazine about Buckball, they are over there!" Apple Bloom pointed out

"Snips! check them out and tell me what you think!" AJ shouted

"Applejack, I already checked them out and I think they are great!" Snips said

"Why?" AJ asked

"Some of them are heavier than the other ones, making our current baskets and balls feel like a lightweight thus making it easier for us to move around with the current baskets and balls" Snips pointed out

"I see, and you think it will work?" AJ asked causing Snips to nod

"Okay let's use them, let's do a simple training, I throw my ball towards Fluttershy, who throws at the wooden plank in front of the standing basket after that Pinkie kicks the ball over the wooden plank into the standing basket, understood?" AJ asked causing the others to nod

Fluttershy threw the ball square in the center of the plank, bounced off towards Pinkie, Pinkie shot it using her hind legs over the plank into the basket, They did this a lot more time,

While they are training we catch up to RD who is at the entrance of the R.B.B.S.A.O (Royal BuckBall Society And Organization)

RD, though 'This building is so big, it's nearly as big as a stadium!'

RD walked inside and saw a reception, she walked up to it.

He looked up and asked, "Why are you here?"

RD stated, "I am here to apply my Buckball team to become an official one!"

He opened his database "Any appointments?"

RD stated, "Yes, an appointment with Princess Luna"

His eyes grew and asked "Name?"

"Rainbow Dash" RD stated

He stated "Take the third elevator and last floor, use your name as password, they will give further instructions"

"Thank you," RD said walking towards the elevator, he booped floor 19 and after 2 minutes "Password!"

"Rainbow Dash"

"Password accepted when stepping outside the elevator, the center door at the end of the hallway,"

"Thank you," RD stated

The door opened, RD instantly started walking towards the center door and opened it

She walked up to the middle table revealing a very busy Luna,

"Hey, Luna!" RD said friendly causing Luna to drop her work instantly

Luna then noticed RD in front of her, she grinned knowing there is a way to get away from her work for a few moments,

"Hello Rainbow Dash, thank you for coming, it seems your team is set up, no?" Luna asked gracefully

"Yes well, I am here for 2 reasons, reason 1 I want to personally show you the contracts and 2 had a few questions about a.... concerning a case, I found in the archives of the R.B.B.S.A.O."

"Oh? well, let's begin with me reviewing the contracts while you speak about this case..." Luna said playfully

Luna started reading the contracts which had a very professional feel to it, she didn't know why,

"Well it's about my friend Fluttershy and her surprising ability to play Buckball, so I looked it up and a few............ Cases" RD said hesitantly

Luna raised her eyebrows when she heard Rainbow being well the opposite of brave, almost shy.

"Well whatever it is you can let me, know nearly the entire archive and even things that aren't archived," Luna said looking seriously towards RD

"Do you know... Project Silver eye? and Project sharphitter? and... p- p- project h- h- h- highdancer?" RD said so quietly that Luna nearly didn't hear the last part, however, she dropped whatever she was doing and called her assistant Ink Light and told her that it is important to drop everything that she was doing and planning solely focus on RD, she nodded and walked off destroying her schedule,

"Rainbow, why are you focussing on these scary and deadly projects?" Luna asked very worriedly

"Because.... because...." RD said something after that but it was so quiet that both Luna and the writer of this story could not make any out of it,

RD was being so shy that Luna asked if it was okay to know what there is about these projects,

"Sure, it's okay, just give me a moment,"

"It's just that she is the main victim of these projects" RD said quietly

Luna who was brave at nearly all times and even became nightmare moon, couldn't help but whimper what she just heard,

Causing Celestia to Teleport to her instantly, but she found Luna shushing her and RD quietly stare in the distance with Luna next to her,

"Why?" Celestia asked calmer

"It's about P.H.B and about Fluttershy," Luna said calmly and Celestia's eyes widen instantly

Celestia then teleported away

"You can stay here for a bit before going back," Luna said calmly and quietly to the silent mare from which she got a nod and her quietly getting a tiny closer to Luna

"Say were you always this shy when you aren't brave?" Luna asked from which again she got a nod

"I see, how about I allow this team and we never of this again?" Luna offered

"Sure, but I would like to talk about this another time when I and you got more time, Is that okay?" RD asked quietly

"Sure, also you are crying, shall I clean you up before you go?" Luna asked

"Sure," RD said regaining composure
