Chapter One: To Be Strong
Butterscotch stood in the gym while Rainbow Dash was showering in the girl's locker. The pink haired male knew that it would take at least an hour for Rainbow Dash to get ready. She would take about fifty minutes to take a steaming hot shower, while taking five minutes to dry up and another five minutes to change and make sure everything was set to go.
Butterscotch sank down near the entrance to the girl's locker room. He looked at his hands and felt extremely embarrassed. He and Rainbow Dash were in a relationship, yet Rainbow Dash was the one in charge of their relationship. When they were confronted by people that wanted to beat up Butterscotch, Rainbow was the one who took care of them. It wasn't like Butterscotch didn't want to be assertive. His emotions wouldn't let him be assertive. He didn't want to be pushed to that point. He was too nice to act tough.
Butterscotch starred at the red boxing gloves that were in the middle of the floor. He turned his head to his left and right. Butterscotch was the only person in the gym at the moment. He quickly crawled over to pick up the heavy gloves. Butterscotch grunted at first trying to pick up the hefty objects, but eventually he picks up the gloves.
"Hmmmm." Butterscotch said as he held the boxing gloves in his hands. He puts them on and felt the weight of them on his hands. On certain days, he saw Rainbow Dash punching a large bag of sand. He walked up to the large punching bag. He always told himself that he needed to find something that connected him to Rainbow Dash. Dashie wasn't into animals as he was. The only exception was Tank, her pet turtle.
Butterscotch held his ground towards the large bag and looked around. He faced the bag and pulled up his hands in defense. "Hello, mr. bag of sand."
People would think that Butterscotch was crazy, if they saw him talking to the bag of sand, but Butterscotch was just talking to it like one of his animals. "Well, I need to find something that will make me share a similarity with Rainbow. So, let's try this punching thing. I hope you don't mind if i punch you."
Butterscotch wiggles his arms as he prepares to start his attack on the bag "Okay, Mr. Bag of Sand. I am going to hit you now, so I can get my strength up and become a better boyfriend to Rainbow Dash. That way, I can defend her against any guys that want her. I don't want to be Butterscotch the pushover. Look out guys, Butterscotch is ready to throw all that he can at you."
Butterscotch threw the first punch. His punch had little effect on the bag as it moved slightly. It was like the wind had hit it. Meanwhile, Butterscotch was waving the hand he just punched. "Ow, that really hurts."
Butterscotch moved back into position. He wasn't ready to give up just yet. "Well Butters, like Rainbow Dash always says 'no pain, no gain'."
Butterscotch kept punching the bag, unknown to the male, three figures smirked as they watched him attempting to punch the bag once more.
"Finally, I got the confetti out of my hair. I swear I will get Pinkie Pie and Bubble Berry for this. I can't go one day without them wanting to celebrate something. I still can't believe it's the week anniversary of me and Butterscotch dating." Rainbow Dash twists her hair making water come out of it. She removed the last strain of confetti out of her hair.
What the strangest part about her dating the animal lover was that a lot of bullies were targeting Butterscotch. Rainbow Dash had a lot of admirers. Most of them were on different sports teams. Each with the goal of asking Rainbow Dash out, however Rainbow Dash literally dashed their hopes when she announced that Butterscotch was her boyfriend. Now, Butterscotch has became a target for their wrath. Rainbow Dash shook her head in the thought of him hurt because of her.
"Why can't they see I love Butterscotch? Nothing is ever going to change my mind about it." Rainbow Dash walked to her clothes and started to change into her normal attire.
She also had to chuckle about how all of her friends placed bets of when Rainbow Dash and Butterscotch would break up. The male Applejack lost as the couple had past the few days the apple farmer had guessed.
"Well, I better see how my boyfriend is doing." Rainbow Dash smiled as she lifted her bag and walked out of the locker room and turned off the lights.
As soon as she closed the door, she noticed that her boyfriend wasn't where she last saw him. He was usually around when she was gone.
Where is he? Rainbow Dash looked around. She searched through the entire gymnasium. There was no sight of him, she only heard a pair of groans that came from a room in the gym.
"Ow, pleases don't ow." Rainbow Dash gasped hearing the voice of her boyfriend. She kicked open the door to witness the horror of what she was watching. Fido, Rover, and Spot were in the ring with Butterscotch. One of them had Rainbow's red gloves and each of them were taking turns punching Butterscotch in various places on his body or face.
"THIS IS FOR STEALING MY GIRL." Rover punched Butterscotch in the stomach
"THIS IS FOR TASTING THE GORGEOUS RAINBOW DASH'S LIPS BEFORE ME." Spot growled punching Butterscotch on his cheek sending him to Fido.
"THIS IS JUST FOR BEING HER BOYFRIEND. SHE LOVES US BETTER THAN YOU." Fido punched Butterscotch, who tripped and landed on the corner of the ring.
Butterscotch tried to take a breath in. He watched as the three boys were coming towards him. He had no way of defending himself. He was helpless and weak. But, he needed to keep fighting. They were beating him up for they wanted Rainbow Dash. They were going to steal her away from him, he needed to do something. But he didn't have to strength to move his body anymore.
Rover, Fido and Sport smirked as they saw Butterscotch barely had any energy left. They knew Rainbow Dash was for the taking. They just didn't expect her to jump in the ring behind them.
"AHEM!" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms.
"OH Rainbow Dash." Spot was surprised. He and the other two boys bowed before her hoping their display of manliness would impress her. She reacts in the exact opposite of what Spot wanted. "Are you going to explain to me why you have the audacity to assault my boyfriend this way?"
"Well, we were worried that he was going to peek on you in the showers, so we stopped him." Spot cheered.
Rainbow Dash glared "First off, Butterscotch wouldn't go into the girl's room. Secondly, the minute he goes into the girl's room, he immediately leaves and…"
The cyan skinned human leaned her head over towards her boyfriend. She saw his hair had been unorganized, his left eye had earned a black eye, from his mouth ran a small drip of blood that was getting on his shirt, and she lifted his shirt seeing a large amount of bruises.
"We were hoping that we would get to date you to see how much of a wimp Butterscotch really is. I mean he couldn't defend a log from a beaver. He is totally useless." Spot laughed
Rainbow Dash wasn't facing the Diamond Dogs gang. Butterscotch saw the upset rage in which was forming on Rainbow Dash's face. Recently, there were several new upsets that would send Rainbow Dash on a rampage:
1. Hurting her boyfriend aka finding bruises or scars on him.
2. Guys that want to date her that believe that by hurting her boyfriend that she would leap into their arms and leave Butterscotch.
3. Calling her boyfriend weak was just like calling her the slowest runner in Canterlot High, something that should be avoided.
4. Calling her boyfriend useless.
"Umm Rainbow Dash." Butterscotch cringed
"Butterscotch, hold my bag." Rainbow handed the heavy gym bag, causing the bruised male to fall to the ground with it. He picked himself up as the bag was in front of his feet.
Rainbow reveals her face to the group of boys that attacked Butterscotch. Their smiles turn to fright when Rainbow Dash ran up to them and started to dispatch each one of them.
If the injured male, known as Butterscotch, had the ability open his left eye, then both of his eyes would be shocked to see the level of skills Rainbow Dash was using. She leaped over Fido to attack Spot and Rover. She used her speed to outmatch Fido, and her brute strength to outmatch the other two.
Butterscotch looked away for just a moment, only to hear Rover's pain "AHHHH, MY ARM ISN'T SUPPOSE TO BEND THAT WAY."
Butterscotch saw Rainbow Dash's skills in combat as a skilled fighter would be impressed with Rainbow's close combat abilities. For the finale, Rainbow Dash stepped on Rover's foot only for Rainbow to uppercut him. She used her leg to kick Fido in the place where the sun doesn't shine. Spot was pulled by his hair and swirled around the ring until Rainbow threw him out of it.
With the three boys taken out by the girl, Rainbow dusted her hands and walked over to her boyfriend. Butterscotch was worried about the health of the three boys, Rainbow Dash couldn't care less. Her concern was on her boyfriend.
"Butterscotch, look at me, are you alright?" Rainbow had her boyfriend focused on her face. She saw him looking down, yet she could tell that he didn't like it when she had to resort to violence. "Hey, let's get you to a nurse."
"Hold this." Rainbow Dash, who had pulled her hair in a ponytail. She was now making sure her boyfriend was getting a bit of rest. She put a bag of ice on his left eye, making sure Butterscotch could at least see her. Nurse Redheart had stepped out for a few minutes to leave Rainbow Dash with her boyfriend.
"Thanks." Butterscotch softly spoke holding the bag to his injured eye. Rainbow could tell what he had said.
"I swear I am sorry for all of this." Rainbow Dash sighed "Ever since I announced our relationship, every male from almost all the sports teams have made you public enemy number one. This is my fault."
"It's okay." Butterscotch reassured her.
"No, it's not okay, Butters. It is because of me that you are being used as a contest to test who is worthy of me."
"They do have a point." Butterscotch looked at Rainbow. "I am a weakling."
Feeling hurt by his words, Rainbow lightly slapped him across his face. She glared at him "You don't get to make jokes like that. It is my love life. I decide who is right to go out with me. Currently, I see no one better than you."
"I mean they are right about me not being strong enough." Rainbow focused herself on his face more hearing his words.
"I am not strong enough to protect you." Butterscotch coughed after saying those words. He used his fist to block his coughs that could have been near Rainbow Dash. "I am just a weak little guy who can't even punch a punching bag. I am a joke."
"You are not weak Butterscotch." Rainbow Dash complained
"I am weak. How can I protect you from any males that want to win your heart? I don't deserve you. You think i am strong, but i am not strong enough. I thought Rover, Fido and Spot were going to teach me how to be strong enough to fight for you, but i was wrong." Butterscotch cried
Rainbow Dash looked at him "You think I dated you because I needed you to protect me. We have our friends to protect me. Have you forgotten all I had to do in order to have you go out with me?" Rainbow said with tears pouring her eyes.
"No, I haven't forgotten, Rainbow Dash. I love you, but I just wanted to be stronger in order for you to love me more. So, we can have more in common."
"Is that why you did this? So, that we can share things in common?" Rainbow Dash was on the verge of tears, before clinging to her boyfriend and crying as well.
"I will think of a way to get these guys off our backs." Rainbow Dash spoke. "That is a Pinkie and Bubble promise." Rainbow Dash doing the signature promise of her best friends. "I will do anything to keep you as my boyfriend."
Unknown to Rainbow Dash and Butterscotch, Rainbow Blitz heard the conversation and shook his head.
Today was the sports assembly where every sports team gathered. Rainbow Dash and Blitz were on stage together. Blitz saw how much Rainbow Dash was glaring at the audience. She couldn't tell which member of what team was interested in her, but she was going to make them all stop their assault today. Today, all of the attacks on Butterscotch will end. If not, then the actions she would take would probably get her suspended from Canterlot High. She didn't care about her possible suspension. She would send a message to all of those boys interested in her. That message would say that Butterscotch was hers and she belonged to Butterscotch. Nothing was going to change her mind.
"Rainbow, relax okay. I will make sure no one gets to you." Rainbow Blitz winked.
Dash was at a loss of why Rainbow Blitz was winking. He stood up and walked to the podium after Vice Principal Luna called him.
"Thank you VP Luna for that lovely performance." Blitz nods to the Vice Principal before facing the audience. "Before getting to the honor of our many sports teams here at Canterlot High, I want to talk to you for a moment."
Blitz cleared his throat before going on "I need to talk to you all about this man."
Dash and others were shocked when Butterscotch's picture came up on the screen. "This is my intelligent friend, Butterscotch. You would know him as the second in command of the animal shelter here at Canterlot High. You also would know him as the boyfriend of our second star athlete Rainbow Dash."
Rainbow Dash giggled and did a nervous wave before glaring at Rainbow Blitz as her eyes told him 'okay what is this all about?'
"Recently, Butterscotch has been bullied. Here at Canterlot High, we have a zero tolerance when it comes to bullying" Rainbow Blitz showed pictures of bruises and injuries Butterscotch had suffered. "Over the last week since the announcement of their union, Butterscotch has been attacked by people who were in love with Rainbow Dash. I might not know who these people are. What I do know is that they are all mostly from the sports teams."
Everyone looked around. They looked at the injuries that Butterscotch has sustained. Blitz stared at the crowd as well. "Now, I had the funny suspicion that Butterscotch's bullies must be from a sports team. Since I can't figure out which one, Principal Celestia and I have put together a simple rule to keep people that belong to a sport, from ever bullying someone this way."
The students stared at one another. They wondered what Rainbow Blitz's action would be. "She has approved that if anyone in sports is caught bullying a student or anyone….That student is automatically kicked off that sports team. They will have no way of getting back on the team."
Some members of the sports team took offense to the rule, Rainbow Blitz stood by his decision. Rainbow Dash turned her head feeling shocked that Rainbow Blitz would protect her relationship with Butterscotch.
"I can understand you have some reservations. Allow me to show you Butterscotch's injuries from yesterday" Blitz growled as he revealed the injuries that Butterscotch sustained from yesterday. "IF YOU ALL THINK IT'S OKAY TO BULLY SOMEONE LIKE THAT, THEN YOU HAVE NO SOUL. That was my best friend and he could have died if his injuries have been more sever. I set up this rule so you guys won't pick on him or anyone else at this school. If I even see you guys picking on him or trying to hurt him again, I don't care if I get suspended from the school, I will make sure your life in whatever sport you are in is tarnished. No one messes with Butterscotch or his girlfriend. You got that?"
Blitz collected himself as his anger filled him with so much rage. The ones that didn't object to his rule started to clap for the male sports star. Rainbow Dash stood up and hugged him after Principal Celestia took the stand. She looked to Blitz for a moment. "I do not like that threat you made Blitz, but your intentions were pure. Just remember that you two aren't exempted from the rule either."
"I understand Principal Celestia." Blitz nods as he looked at Rainbow Dash.
RING!
That was the final bell. Rainbow Dash looked at Blitz, who smiled at her. Dash didn't understand why Blitz was in support of their relationship. Blitz was the only one who didn't approve of the relationship, in fact, he was against their union. It must have been him overprotecting Butterscotch that prevented Rainbow Dash from connecting with a guy who looked like her. She was able to leave, but Blitz pulled her back.
"Just because I did this doesn't mean I trust you at all, Dash. You hurt Butterscotch and I will come for you." Blitz held her close before glaring at her.
"I understand and I can assure you that i don't want to hurt him." Dash slipped from his fingers.
Rainbow Dash raced to go to her boyfriend. Blitz smirked looking at Rainbow Dash "Ugh, Fluttershy. I don't really know why she is your best friend."
A few days had passed. Things were getting back to normal. So far, no one was picking on Butterscotch. Rainbow Dash felt glad no one was flirting with her. The only flirting she approved of was that of her boyfriend.
Rainbow Dash was punching the punching bag as her blood was pumping. She was focused on her relationship with Butterscotch. She wanted to develop that relationship.
The door opened up. Rainbow Dash turned to see who was the person entering the gym. She smiled upon her boyfriend walking to her. "Hi, how's it going? Is everything healing up real nicely?"
"Yeah, my eye is better. My body is a little sore, but I just need a bit of rest. I just feel bad leaving Fluttershy to take care of the animals. Rainbow Blitz says that he was going in my place." Butterscotch shrugged
Rainbow Dash smiled and settled into position. She halted herself when she turned around. She saw Butterscotch wearing work-out trunks and a tank top. This caused blood to rush up to Rainbow Dash's cheeks. She snapped back and saw how close he was to her.
"Rainbow Dash, I know you said you didn't ask me out for me to protect you." Butterscotch looked at the punching bag. "But, I think I would like to learn how to defend myself. I know given that you love boxing that you could teach me how to be strong?"
Rainbow Dash hesitated. She was nervous upon teaching him how to fight. Was he still on about protecting her as if she was a damsel in distress? "Butters, I would love to train you, but I told you I don't need protecting. Besides, why do you want to fight?"
"Well, I want to get a lot stronger. I want to get stronger, so I could do this to you." Butterscotch smirked before he picked up his girlfriend in his arms.
"Woah" Dash was caught off guard by Butterscotch's flirty technique. The female smirked as she watched him struggle to pick her up. She would have felt insulted by his struggles, but this was the first time he lifted her up in this way or even flirted with her like this. So, she will let it pass for the moment. "You are full of surprises, Butters."
"Well, you are my little Dashie." Butterscotch grinned as he kisses her lips.
She didn't care if he kissed her lips. She kissed him back. She held on to him. Eventually, he would have to let go or they would drop to the floor. She knew only one thing. This was only the start of their relationship and things were going to get better.
So, tell me what you think of the story so far.
This story will be not a fluent story but a series of oneshots depicting the relationship these two share. Next chapter will be the prequel to this one. Where you will see how Butterscotch and Rainbow Dash got together. One chapter might be a lemon between Rainbow Dash and Butterscotch.
If you have any questions, just ask me about it. I might need someone to create a cover art for this fanfic.
Until then, see you later.
