Swimming By Rainbows

The beauty of the waterfalls captured the eyes of those that entered, and glistened bodies with wetness of the clear water falling down from on high to the pool-like lake. Along with it, a hot spring at the top in the cave, which contains beautiful lights. Tim Diver, of course, and others were indeed enjoying themselves, be it talking, playing around, or swimming around.
Rainbow, Twilight, and Juniper were in the girls’ restroom, and Rainbow was about to change into her swimsuit.

“Rainbow Dash! Are you almost done in there?” Twilight asked, being patient.

“I’m coming out.” Rainbow Dash replied, getting out of the changing room. She now wore a blue and sparkly top and bottom, carrying with her colorful towel.

“Wow! You look cute, Rainbow Dash.” Juniper complimented, which made Rainbow Dash blush. “So how are you going to impress him?”

“I’ll go up on the diving board, and try to jump into the water.” Rainbow answered.

Twilight sighed. “Don’t tell me you're still going to win him over?”

Juniper then tried to explain to Twilight about Rainbow’s problem. “Twilight, It’s okay. I know I’m suppose to make friends, but I’m actually helping Rainbow Dash. You and her are my friends as well, and she told me that she needs me before she changed into her swimsuit. In my opinion, she might have a chance with Tim.”

“Juniper... I still want you to make friends. I mean, do you think your father will be happy that you helped someone get a boyfriend? He wants you to do something that centers around you, not Rainbow Dash.” She turned around at Rainbow Dash. “No offence.”

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in disgust going back to the changing room to change again, but Juniper stopped her.

“When we’re done with this, we can get back to making more friends when we still have a lot of time.”

“Okay, fine. But, I’m not sure if this can work.” Twilight replied. Once she and the girls got out of the girls room, Rainbow luckily caught sight of Tim and his crew swimming around in the pool. Indeed, she blushed heavily after seeing his wearing yellow trunks, yet her eyes were fixated onto his exposed chest.

“Oh my gosh! He’s so...!” Rainbow Dash gazed with glistening eyes.

“So, what’s the plan?” Juniper asked.

“You tell him that you forget to bring your swimsuit and that I need lessons on swimming.”

“I thought you were going to jump off the diving board first...” Twilight caught on.

“I’m not prepared, okay? I just need more time until I’m ready...” Rainbow replied.

“Okay, but you are probably not going to jump are you?” Twilight commented. Just then, Juniper walked up to Tim, who was helping girls on how to swim.

“Hey Juniper, why aren't you in your swimsuit?” Tim asked.

“I forget to bring my swimsuit,” she said before pointing to Rainbow. “But, Rainbow Dash has her swimsuit. Can she join?”

“Sure. I think she’s more of an athletic to go swimming with us.” Tim nodded.

“Rainbow Dash, are you coming?” She called.

Rainbow Dash then appeared out of the entrance and approaching the pool, feeling a little embarrassed at Tim smiling at her swimsuit.

“You know you really hot with your swimsuit on Rainbow.” Tim eyed at her swimsuit before looking at her face.

“Oh, well you look way hotter when you swim.” She blushed in front of him.

“So do you want to hit the caves, or you just want to stick around here?”
Rainbow grabbed his arm, which didn’t surprise him at the most. Tim wasn’t interested about girls that much, yet he was willing to be nice enough to swim with her. They both waded around the water, and approaching the huge waterfall stream in front of them.

“Ready for this?” he said to Rainbow. She nodded as they got into the pouring water, resulting in getting their hairs wet. She laughed after feeling the rush alongside, so much that she hugged him tightly.

“That was amazing!!” Rainbow exclaimed with a smile. It was then they made their way to the caves. She started taking in the view, feeling astounded at the glowing lights around it. One of the caves had an wide opening that was large enough for to only see the beautiful outside view of Rainbow Falls.

“This is the view of Rainbow Falls. Is it amazing?” Tim took a good gaze at it himself. Rainbow didn’t think that she was way high in the caves, which really surprised her.

“Wow! This is how high we are? This is insane!” Rainbow spoke in surprise.

“I know. I always go up here when people go on a field trip here so I can show it to some of my friends.” he replied. He also got on top of one of the rocks before asking for her hand. Then, he lifted her up to the same platform as him as they looked through another cave opening, which gave them a view of the cave they just entered. Below was Twilight and Juniper, who then saw her in an instant.

“Hey, Rainbow Dash!” Twilight called out. Rainbow heard the voice and saw her friend from below.

“How your doing!?” Rainbow shouted excitedly.

“Don’t you know that your suppose to jump off the diving board when you up there?” Juniper called, pointing up.

“What!?” Rainbow’s eyes widened in shock. She realized that there was a diving board on the edge of the pool, inches above her reach. She turned back, and was about to descend, when Tim blocked her path.

“Sorry, but we can’t go back. The rules state that if you get into the cave, you’d have to jump off the diving board above us.”

“Are you kidding me?” Rainbow was in a state of pressure.

“You’ll be okay. We're not that high...” Tim tried to calm her down. Rainbow tried to think of something but she realized for a second, realizing that she had no choice. She looked up, halfway scared of how high she is from where she recently stood. She gulped before approaching the end of the board, standing on the back end. Of course, she did gain experience in swimming class, but diving was just another story beyond her mind.

“Are you going to jump or not?” Twilight shouted.

“I will in a second.” Rainbow answered nervously. Rainbow took a few steps until she was standing at the far edge. Then, she took a deep breath before jumping onto the board. By the time she reached her peak, she finally jumped forward. Eyes closed and without the use of her powers, she dived into the water and made her way up without a scratch.

“Wow! That was a decent dive!” Juniper commented, looking at the water. At the same time, Rainbow swam her way to the edge and got out.

“Well, this was really awesome for a first dive.” she said. Just then, she turned and saw Tim making his way down from the diving platform. By the time he was in the air, he brought his whole body into a ball and made a big splash. Rainbow was absolutely impressed with him, and couldn't help but gaze into his body as he was getting out.

“Man, I don't know what to do…I want him...” she thought.

“That was the greatest time of our lives!” Rainbow shouted. She and the others got back into their clothes, despite their hair being wet still after an hour of being in the waterfalls. Of course, only she had a thrill of her life besides the first time she dived in from high up, and without using her powers, no less.

“But Rainbow, we didn’t swim at all.” Juniper uttered.

“I know, but I don’t want my ego to get the best of me.” Rainbow retorted. Suddenly, Tim, who was waiting outside, walked up to Juniper.

“So, is there anything you want to do? The park is about to close in three hours.” he asked.

“No, thanks. But, is it okay that I can get your phone number?” she asked.

“Why not?” he shrugged. Rainbow was shocked that he gave Juniper his phone number, unaware that Twilight saw her reaction.

“Rainbow, you’ve been thinking about him way too much. Besides, we should be helping Juniper make friends.”

“Well, she made one friend already.” Rainbow pointed at Juniper, who was writing down TIm’s phone number.

“Well... yeah. But, that kind of is besides the point.” Twilight folded her arms. Rainbow was unlucky, but she refused to be mean to Juniper, given the credit she deserved for just making one friend at the most. She had an idea herself, but she had to talk to Juniper first, despite the fact that she saw Tim first, despite the blushes.

“Hey, is it okay that Juniper and I go to the rainbow aquarium? She really wants to know more about underwater sea creatures.” Rainbow tried to play along.

Twilight chimed in quickly. “It’s okay Tim. Juniper, we’re going to be in our apartment, so you'll know where to find us when you're done.”

“Thanks.” Juniper answered and waved. She and Tim then made their way to the rainbow aquarium. As for Twilight and Rainbow, they both headed back for their apartment. Rainbow lost the opportunity to tell her something in the process, which slowed her down. Then again, Twilight had to call her back for the sake of leaving Juniper to making a friend.
