A Small Crush
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt's was last year at Canterlot High, and everyone's excited. Rainbow Dash was going to join as many groups she could this year, and this final year was going to be amazing! The teachers handed out the schedules, everything seemed normal.
"Excited to start the year?"asked Sunset Shimmer, "Okay, everyone tell what you're looking forward to- Rarity, starts"
"Designing fabulous clothes" she said.
"Baking as many cakes as I can" giggled Pinkie Pie.
"Oh shucks, Ah'm just looking forward to having a good time" said Applejack.
"Um, helping out again at the animal shelter" peeped Fluttershy.
"I was going to do some extra coursework, and I'm looking forward to my 'get together' with Timber Spruce" blushed Twilight, as the girls gushed, except Rainbow Dash.
"Well I'm going to start painting!" said Sunset, "Come on, let's go get to class"
"Hey! What about me?" asked Rainbow Dash. But by then, everyone was gone, "They're always leaving me out these days" she huffed.
She headed to Chemistry class, where they would be doing partner work. Rainbow's partner was- Soarin? Rainbow Dash groaned. Soarin was the most annoying person she knew, always saying he should be captain, instead of Dash. They couldn't sit together for one moment without fighting.
"Well well well, if it isn't Rainbow Crash" said a voice behind her. It was Soarin.
"Listen. I don't wanna do this, and neither to you. Let's just ignore each other, because I don't wanna get a bad grade," she said.
"Fine, works for me, Crash" sneered Soarin.
"Seriously? Are you deaf?" asked Rainbow.
"Are you talking to me, or some other show-off?" Rainbow always called Soarin a show-off in front of everyone.
"They're aren't any other show offs here" said Rainbow, as they stood behind the lab equipment.
"Really? Then get a mirror" shot Soarin. Rainbow didn't want to admit it, by she just got burnt-very badly.
The spent the next hour arguing back and forth, which they both enjoyed. The next day was the same routine, and it kept repeating. Insult after insult, they started treating it like a game. Rainbow Dash didn't want to say to anyone, but she was having a hard time. Between pressures at her me, and her friends ignoring her, she really needed to unwind, and Chemistry with Soarin did just that.
But then one day came, when Rainbow Dash had enough of her friends.
"So, are you guys participating in the baking contest?" asked Pinkie Pie. The girls all said yes in delightful manner. "What about you Dashie?"
"What do you think?" Obviously, she would compete, she loved competing.
"No?" said Pinkie Pie, "I didn't want to say, but you're not really one to do this kind of thing. You're-"
"Over achieving" said Fluttershy.
"And boastful"
"And always show off" Ranbow Dash felt her fuse about to blow. These were her friends? That's the opinion they held about her? After all they did, by ignoring her, pushing her around, not inviting her to houses when everyone else was coming, this is how they repayed her?
"OMG! AFTER ALL I DEALT WITH, THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME?" yelled Rainbow Dash.
"What you put up with? We have to put up with you!" said Applejack.
"I could be here till next year counting what you do to me! Am I your friend or just someone you keep around as a plus one? You always ignore me, leave me out, and this is what you think of me! That's it! I'll find real friends! Here we are for 'Elements of Harmony'! To hell with Harmomy" screamed Rainbow Dash.
"You're walking out on us! Look at you! You enjoy more with weirdos like Soarin then us" said Rairty.
"Soarin's better than all of you combined" Rainbow shouted, storming off, not believing she just said those words. She found a bench to sit on alone, and cried. Why was life so unfair? She heard someone sit down next to her.
"Mind if I sit here?" It was Soarin, "Probably not the best time but I need advice"
"Right now you should give it to me" said Rainbow Dash.
"Not sure what that means but anyway- I have a crush on Applejack"
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO TO HER THEN!"
"Okay then. See ya Crash" sighed Soarin.
Why did I scream? thought Rainbow Dash. I hate Soarin. Unless-
"See that girls. We just found ourselves another client" said a voice with a thick country accent.
"Hmm, seems like she needs our help" said a bubbly and high voice.
"I know what this is. Rainbow Dash has a crush" said a tomboyish voice, which made Rainbow whirl around.
"I do not!" she protested.
"Every girl who likes a guy says that. And you my dear friend need the help of the CMC's" said Applebloom.
"Doesn't that stand for Canterlot Movie Club?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Not anymore. We are the Cupid Made Crush-helpers!" cheered Sweetie Belle, "And you need to get hooked up with Soarin"
"What! We hate each other!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Anyway. He likes Applejack, so let's get rid of the competition" said Scootaloo, evilly.
"I like the sound of that" Rainbow Dash said, forgetting the topic.
"Hah! So you do like him!" said Scootaloo.
"Fine. I have a crush on him. Maybe" Rainbow Dash admitted, sighing.
"I don't mind. Since my sis is goin' steady with Caramel anyway, so Soarin doesn't have a chance" said Applebloom.
"You need to keep up to date. They broke up weeks ago. She's single" said Sweetie Belle.
"First of all, we should pin someone else for liking Soarin" said Applebloom
"What do ya mean?" Rainbow said,
"Dash, this is a big school. Someone may find out you like Soarin. So before they do, we need to blame someone else!" explained Applebloom,"Ya know, as a plan B"
"But how will we spread that news?" Rainbow exclaimed, "Wait a second, why do you want to team up with me?"
"Well, to be honest, being friends with an older student will make us popular" confessed Sweetie Belle, "But we look up to you Dash. You're loyal, strong, tough- you may not realise, but you're a leader"
Rainbow blushed, "Thanks, now back to the plan. How do we spread the news again?"
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shared a look, "Gossip"
Author's Note
This is kind of what happened to me, like Rainbow, kind of. Mine didn't have a happy ending, but don't worry, Rainbow and Soarin will have a happy ending. (Maybe
)
