"Gossip?" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yup. No questions, we're going to start spreading the word ASAP" announced Scootaloo.

"What word?" Rainbow said hesitantly,

"Someone like Soarin” said Applebloom, "Let's spread out girls"

"Wait, who are we going to target?" Rainbow asked.

"Sunset Shimmer" said Sweetie.

"But Soarin doesn't even know her. It'll make no sense" Rainbow said.

"Wow Dash, you need to get out more. They are both in art class toghter as a team" Scootaloo reminded.

"Sounds good to me, we should spread out" said Applebloom. That afternoon, the girls went up to everyone and causally mentioned that Sunset liked Soarin. By that night, it was all anyone could talk about. In the school newspaper, where the CMC's worked, they got headlines saying 'Rebel Girl falls for Popular Athlete'

The next morning, Rainbow spotted her old friends looking at posters of 'Rebel Girl falls for Popular Athlete'

"It's working! They know that I like him" said Rainbow at their lunch meeting.

"Maybe we should stop girls. It's going too far" said Sweetie Belle. The others nodded.

"Are you kidding? This is perfect!" exclaimed Dash, "Now what's step two?"

The CMC's looked at each other uneasily, "Ah was thinkin' to get some dirt on everyone, we should make a rumour you like Soarin, that'll nudge him in the right direction"

"But-" started Rainbow.

"If we're gonna do this, it's the only way!" Applebloom said. Rainbow nodded.

"
Once again, the girls, except Rainbow a Dash spread the news. At Chemistry, Soarin was acting weird around her.

"I heard something, about you" he said.

"What?" Rainbow Dash asked, her heart skipping a beat.

"Do you like-" Rainbow waited.

"Zephyr?" Rainbow snapped out of her thoughts.

"What! No way!" she protested.

"Yeah, you totally do!" grinned Soarin.

"I seriously don't" pleaded Rainbow.

"Yeah, right" said Soarin, rolling his eyes. That afternoon, Rainbow drilled the CMC's for getting the wrong rumour around.

"What did you do!" she said.

"Um, well, I was telling someone, and accidentally said Zephyr because I saw him, and I quickly said Soarin, but they didn't believe me. And Zephyr heard, and he likes you" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, "And he spread the world you like him" Rainbow Dash groaned, "Zephyr asked me out today!"

"Then go out with him" said Sweetie Belle.

"WHAT!" shrieked Rainbow Dash.

“It’ll make Soarin realise he’s jealous” advised Scootaloo.

“I’m seriously doubting you” said Rainbow.

“Relax, we’ve got this” assured Sweetie Belle

Rainbow got ready for her date, and heard a beep outside. She groaned, “Let’s get this over with” She got in the car, and they went to a fancy restuarant. “So, Zeph, what’s up?”

“So glad you finally recognised we should hang out Rainbows. It’s about time” smirked Zephyr, as Rainbow rolled her eyes.

The night continued, until it got super quiet. “Um, hope you enjoyed this” said Rainbow, excited to leave.

“Hope you loved this as much as I did” said Zephyr, leaning on for a kiss. Rainbow awkwardly looked around. Zephyr opened his eyes.

“Isn’t this what happens on dates?” He asked.

“Um, well, the truth is-“ started Rainbow. As much as she despised Zephyr, she didn’t want to disappoint him, “I actually like Soarin. What you heard was a misunderstanding”

“Oh, well, I knew you’d never like me Rainbows, but I appreciate you being honset with me” said Zephyr, sighing.

“How bout we become- friends?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“I like the sound of that” He was taken by surprise as Ranbow hugged him.

“So... how did it go?” asked Applebloom mischievously.

“Surprisingly-good!” She said.

“We got phase three for Soarin falling for you- ask him out to the End Of Year Formal!” suggested Sweeite Belle.

“What! No, I’m embarrassed” said Rainbow Dash.

“What was that?” asked Scootaloo.

“I said I’m embarrassed! I can’t ask him out!” cried Rainbow.

“Come on, at least try?” urged Applebloom.

“Fine” sighed Rainbow, as the CMC’s cheered.

At Chemistry, Soarin and Rainbow Dash chatted for a while.

“So, Crash, I know you didn’t wanna give advice, but I wanted to ask you something?” said Soarin.

“Anything” replied Raijbow Dash.

Soarin sighed, “I asked Applejack to the Formal, she said yes. What do I do?”

Rainbow Dash felt her anger bubble up. Right now, you’re probably thinking, ‘Wow, she sure get’s made easily’ But she has a valid reason.

But despite her anger, instead she felt hot tears cloud her sight. “Good job” she muttered, her googles fogging up with her tears. The rest of the lesson went in silence. Only a few weeks to the formal, and homework was piling up like anything. Rainbow Dash had a major assignment left to do for English class, and it was- write a story on two lovers.

Ever since this year, Rainbow Dash started relaxing and unleashing her creativity by writing stories. She always felt at ease and calm, but she needed inspiration. She saw Twilight and Timber sitting with some other girls. To get inspiration, she needed to look no further.

“Hi Twilight. Could you give me insight on your relationship Then one day, along with the CMC’s, Rainbow Dash overheard Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna talk about some things going around the school. Students being alone in rooms and then- you get the picture.

Rainbow started feelings guilty. Everyone in English class knew that Twilight and Timber did the same thing. She thought Twilight was a friend. But now, regardless, this is just wrong. She meant, go do it somewhere else, because younger classes like the CMC’s were also around, and in a public room no-less. So that afternoon after school, Rainbow Dash went to go see Vice-Principal Luna.

But little did she know that her honesty would backfire on her.

Author's Note

OOOOHHH! After this, my life gets really really unfair. It's the best chapter. But I wanted to take it slowly, not just ruin the suspense. So please be patient, I started school again, so I don't have that much time.
