Wondercolts in the Outfield

The next morning, Fluttershy woke up, she was groggy, not fully awake as she used the bathroom and when she walked back into her room, she didn’t notice Rory was awake..
“Morning.” said Rory.

“OH!, you scared me, I didn’t think anyone would be up.” said Fluttershy.

“Sorry, after waking up, I went onto Facerange and i’m looking through the comments of that group picture we took last night.” said Rory.

“What do they say?” Fluttershy asked.

“They’re mainly like “Rory’s a girl?” Rory answered.

Fluttershy put her hands on Rory’s shoulder. “You shouldn’t worry about what anyone says.” Fluttershy.

“I know.” said Rory.

Within the hour the rest of the rainbooms woke up, after they got dressed the girls had breakfast at Pancake House, Flutters & Rory were dressed in their gold baseball uniforms. Thanks to the kindness of the rainbooms, Rory’s self-confidence came back and she was dressed like herself.
“When are your first games?” Sunset asked.

“Next Friday & Saturday.” Fluttershy answered.

“Are you both nervous?” Twilight asked.

“Yes.” said Fluttershy.

“Yeah, i’m nervous.” Rory answered.

“I was the same way before my first soccer game, once you start playing you both will be able to relax as your minds will be focused on the game and not anything else.” said Rainbow.

“Wow, helpful advice from Rainbow.” said Pinkie.

“What does that mean?” Rainbow asked.

“It's just you’re not the best at advice.” Applejack said

The rest of the girls laughed, then Fluttershy looked at her phone. “OH! Rory, we need to get going, practice starts in 30 minutes.” said Fluttershy.

“You two go.” said Rarity.

“Thank you.” said Fluttershy.

“Yeah, thanks.” said Rory.

“Have fun.” said Pinkie.

For baseball practice later that morning, Flutters & Rory were among the first ones that arrived. Colt was already there along with his dad and the other coaches. Colt was sitting by himself in the dugout, when the girls walked in. The other members of the team soon appeared, the others were also in the gold Wondercolts uniform like the girls and soon practice began. Flutters and Rory sat in the dugout as they weren’t in the first rotation in the field, the girls were sitting together at the end of the dugout.

Soon it was Rory’s turn to hit, Shy got ready and was standing in the batter’s circle. Flutters watched Rory with curiosity, she watched Rory get a hit. Shy went up to bat, she swung and missed on the first two pitches, then made contact getting a hit. Dax was next and he launched the ball in the air over the back wall for a homerun getting cheers from the rest of the team. After Rory, Fluttershy & Dax got back to the dugout, Coach Sparks rotated the field positions with Rory at 2nd & Shy at 1st. Colt took his first bat of practice, Flutters watched Colt hit the ball across the infield. Flutters followed the ball with her eyes, to see Rory slide to stop it “Wow” Shy thought it her mind seeing Rory. Flutters then quickly snapped out of her thoughts as Rory threw the ball towards her and Shy caught right before Colt touched the base.

“Wooo.” Rory cheered.

“Damn it.” Colt said, walking to the dugout grumply.

“Good job.” Rory said to Flutters.

“You did all the work.” said Fluttershy.

After Bulk, Blaine & Soarin hit balls into the outfield, Onyx was up next, he hit a line drive, Flutters dived, landed on her front & caught it.
“Is that out?” Onyx asked Coach Sparks.

“Yeah, it didn’t hit the ground.” Coach Sparks answered.

Rory went to Fluttershy. “Are you good?” Rory asked.

“Just….catching….my breath.” Fluttershy answered.

Rory helped Fluttershy to her feet. “Dax, take over at first.” Coach Sparks said.

Fluttershy walked back to the dugout, regaining her breath. “Good Job.” Dax said, Fluttershy just gave a nod, Dax gave her a pat on the back as he walked past her. Shy sat down, Big Mac offered her a bottle of water, Fluttershy used Mac as a pillow. After 10 minutes Fluttershy felt normal again, before she fell asleep.

Shy was awoken by Rory hitting her in the arm. “Mac your turn back out there.” said Rory.

“Okay.” said Big Mac.

“Are you feeling better?” Rory asked Shy.

“Yes, thanks, I just knocked the wind out of myself.” Fluttershy answered.

After an hour, practice was over, Flutters & Rory got showered, dressed, grabbed their things and got back into Shy’s car. The Spring Formal was that night, so for the rest of the day All of the girls got ready for the dance. Fluttershy was wearing a strapless, sparkly gold colored dress & silver heels. Shy picked up Rory, the door opened and Rory was wearing a sparkly emerald green dress with silver roses on the bottom of it & green heels.

Mrs. Slade walked up behind her daughter. She had blonde hair, green skin & yellow eyes and was wearing a blue top & maroon sweatpants.
“So this is your date?” said Mrs. Slade.

“Mom.” Rory said embarrassed.

“Hello Mrs. Slade.” said Fluttershy offering a handshake.

“Nice to meet you dear and thank you for being good to my daughter.” said Mrs. Slade.

“You’re welcome, Rory is a sweet girl.” said Fluttershy.

“That she is, before you leave, I want to take a picture.” said Mrs. Slade.

“Really?” Rory asked.

“Yes.” Mrs. Slade answered.

Fluttershy & Rory stood close together in front of the door, they each had a hand around the other’s waist.

“Alright, got it, you both look really beautiful.” said Mrs. Slade.

“Thank you.” said Fluttershy.

“Have fun.” called Mrs. Slade as the girls got to Fluttershy’s car.

Fluttershy & Rory arrived at the school, Shy saw Applejack & Pinkie’s cars so she parked next to them. Sunset was wearing her black jacket, a ruby colored dress with gold & orange flames on it & black heels, Twilight was wearing a lavender dress with pink & blue stars and pink heels. Rainbow was wearing a blue dress with green, yellow & red lightning bolts on it, rainbow colored fingerless arm sleeves & her regular tennis shoes.

Rarity was wearing a silver dress & periwinkle heels, Applejack was wearing her cowgirl hat, blue denim jacket, orange dress & her brown cowgirl boots. Pinkie was wearing a pink dress with light blue & yellow horizontal stripes and light blue shoes. All the girls' dresses were knee length.

“All of you look gorgeous.” said Rarity.

“Right back at you.” said Rory.

The girls went inside and quickly got dancing except for Rory who sat in the stands watching her new friends dance. A couple of songs went by before Flutters walked over to Rory, Shy reached out her hand and took Rory to the rest of the rainbooms where.

Flutters twirled Rory and then brought her close, the song then switched to a song. Everyone in the room paired up, Fluttershy took Rory to a corner which was behind the crowd. The two swayed back and forth, Rory rested her head on Fluttershy’s shoulders. The slow song ended and a faster song played in its place, Flutters & Rory then joined the rest of the baseball team for a group photo.

“Having fun?” Fluttershy asked Rory.

“Yes, thank you.” Rory answered.

“For What?” Fluttershy asked.

“I don’t know……. Just this, helping me have a good time.” Rory smiled.

Another two hours later, Fluttershy & Rory had snuck out and were sitting on top of the wondercolt statue's base. The two were looking up at the sky.

“It’s so pretty.” said Fluttershy.

“Not the only thing.” Rory said quietly.

“You’re right.” said Fluttershy.

“Ooooooh, look who we got here.” said Rainbow from behind.

The rest of the Rainbooms had come looking for them.
Pinkie & Rainbow got on either side of the statue.

“Looks like a possibly love situation Dashie.” said Pinkie.

“A love situation.” said Rainbow sarcastically.

“Yes it appears to be a level 7 Love.” said Pinkie.

“Level 7?” Rainbow asked.

“Yes, a Level 7 is the going from friends to start of something more stage.” Pinkie answered.

“Ah yes I see, and how does one handle a Level 7?” Rainbow asked.

“Hmmmm…. My choice is cupcakes, now for these two I don’t know.” Pinkie answered.

“Are you two done?” Fluttershy said, chuckling.

“Maybe.” said Rainbow.

“No Promises.” said Pinkie.

“Obviously we wondered where you two ran off to and clearly we interrupted a “moment.” Sunset smiled.

“Well its done now.” Fluttershy said, hoping off the statue. Rory got off the statue and the two smiled at each other as they walked inside.
