Ok so this story is all about The mane My little Pony characters on a basketball team. Yes they play real games and practice. I just thought this idea would be creative. So anyways please enjoy! :D

RainbowDash paced around the gym, where she and her bestest friends such as Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and PinkiePie who were all trying out for the basketball team. Some other random ponies were there too, but that didn't matter at the moment.

What if we don't make the team?... Oh what if somepony here is better than me?... WHAT IF-!?

Rainbowdash's thoughts were interrupted by her friend Rarity. "Oh I hope we don't have to get all hot and sweaty like those other ponies we usually see on television" Rarity pointed awkwardly out.

Rainbow only grinned. "Relax... you'll be so hot like me, everyone will be staring at you throughout the whole game!... Unless of course you don't act like me" Rainbow boasted, her favorite sweatband already on her head.

Rarity just stared at her, unsure whether she meant Hot and sweaty or the other hot as in 'knock em dead' hot.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I cannot wait!" PinkiePie added with an excited squeal.

"Yeah? Me neither" Rainbow nodded.

"Well I for one think that this'll be fun and that we'll get to bond more closely to each other!" Twilight encouraged making everyone just simply nod.

"W-Well I hope t-that they'll a-accept me... B-Because I know I might be a little... you know..." Fluttershy trailed off on where she was going with her figure of speech.

"Hey, don't worry about it. It's all or none" Rainbow remarked, puffing her chest out.

Applejack just rolled her eyes. "Ok miss-All-Herself, let's see what time you get when the coach comes on in and tests you" Applejack challenged Rainbow who only accepted the challenge in her usual words, 'Ten seconds flat'.

"SHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Somepony down the line of ponies awaiting for the session to begin whispered. "He's coming!"

Rarity instantly took action. "Oh my! He's coming! He's coming! What do we do!?... Does my mane look nice?" Rarity whined, nudging RainbowDash and Twilight for their opinions.

"Looks great" Rainbow muttered.

"Oh yes" Twilight simply agreed.

"Well!... At least some ponies here have some taste I mean what kind of gym is this? Anyone could see it needs more spoof, or design I mean whoever designed this place needs to either get a job or-" Rarity began running her mouth when suddenly the doors on the far side of the gym opened up, revealing the coach...

"GOOD afternoon ladies and gentleponies my name is Coach FastBall" spoke a big deep-voiced brown stallion, with muscles tensed and sweat already running from his brow.

Fluttershy almost fainted at this sight, so Applejack and Twilight had to help her stay to her hooves.

The coach wore a workout jacket, a whistle from around his neck, and long gym socks. His cutie mark was of a basketball bouncing into a hoop, and he had a thick black wavy mane, showing that he must workout therefore his hair looked already windblown.

Rainbow smiled and tilted to lean into Twilight's ear to compliment about something of the coach when suddenly the Coach himself blew his whistle.

"YOU THERE! WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY TO THAT LAVENDER PONY THERE!" The coach called Rainbowdash out instantly like a hawk.

Rainbow quickly froze and went back to her position. "I... WHAT?... O-Oh... fine.. I-I'm RainbowDash?... And I... err... was gonna say that you... have a nice hairstyle?" Rainbow made it up, seeming she had even forgot what she REALLY WAS going to say to Twilight in the first place.

"WHATEVER" The Coach blew her off and began assigning the rules.

"D-Did you see that? He totally just... shrugged me off like I was nothing!" Rainbow then pointed out to her friends.

"Rainbow, that's because you are nothing to him" Applejack answered her.

"Applejack actually has a point RainbowDash... the coach hasn't even met you yet... so.. honestly-" Twilight began like the egghead she was. "Oh I know... But I don't have to like it" Rainbow muttered.

"OK SO FIRST YOU WILL TAKE THE BALL... AND DRIBBLE IT AROUND THESE FIVE CONES WITH YOUR RIGHT HOOF... ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BASKET. NEXT YOU WILL DO A LAYUP AND THEN COME BACK AROUND THE CONES, DRIBBLING THIS TIME WITH YOUR LEFT HOOF. GOT IT? SIMPLE AND EASY... FIRST PONY GET GOING!" FastBall instructed before demanding the starting pony off.

Twilight and her friends just waited for their turn... very patiently.

After like... TEN minutes of waiting the Coach finally called on Twilight to step up and give it a go.

Twilight gulped. "M-Me sir?" she confirmed.

"YES YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK I MEANT THE RAINBOW COLORED PEGASUS BESIDE YOU!? NO!" Coach FastBall yelled, making Twilight hurry to the starting position.

She readied herself and when the coach blew the whistle, she took off, dribbling the ball with her right hoof.

"Whoa.." she muttered under her breath as she almost lost the ball. Being very honest here, Twilight wasn't the BEST at Basketball, in fact once she got down to the hoop on the other side of the large gym, she tried to do a layup but... failed, and lifted the wrong leg. She then hurried back the best she could, her hooves now aching from the run.

"OK... I GUESS YOU COULD SAY YOU WEREN'T LIKE THIS FILLY OVER HERE BUT YOU WERE TERRIBLE" Coach Fastball pointed to a young mare who had apparently already failed the test.

Twilight gulped with surprise before she took her place back at the end of the line.

Next it was RainbowDash's turn.

FastBall looked Rainbow up and down menacingly. "YOU READY?" He asked challengingly, making Rainbow only hold her head high. "Ready as I'll ever be" she answered. FastBall just rolled his eyes though.

"READY SET GO" FastBall blew his whistle and instantly Rainbow took off. She was quite wobbly at first but she quickly straightened out, making it look like she was hardly breaking a sweat.

She quickly got down to the other side, did a layup, and zipped back up to the starting line, feeling quite proud of herself.

"I bet I was the best wasn't I coach?" Rainbow taunted as she neared FastBall again, easily dribbling the ball all at once.

"YEAH?... SO FAR. WHO'S NEXT?" The Coach shooed Rainbow off to the end of the line, making her sulk and cross her hooves angrily.

Rarity was up next now, who apparently wasn't about to get her hooves dirty all in one test.

"HERE I WANT YOU TO GO DOWN AND-" FastBall began but Rarity cut him off. "How dare you give me this filthy ball! I for one have brought my own ball, and I will do it, not when told, but when I feel like it..." Rarity, being the drama queen she was went on. "And another thing, if you think I'm going to break my back by just trying impress you then think again...!" Rarity huffed before taking off with her own pink, glimmering ball. She slowly went at her own pace, making it look like she couldn't go any slower possibly.

The coach only facepalmed himself before muttering something under his breath, but nopony could catch what it was.

Rarity did a pitiful layup, nothing like what RainbowDash had even done, and simply just trotted back at a slightly faster pace, still, kinda... well... I guess you could say she was dribbling the ball?

"How was I? Spectacular? GRAND darling!" Rarity answered for herself and just prissily strutted to the back of the line with Twilight and RainbowDash...
