Chapter 2
After lunch, we went to the town market. Prism ignored me as much as he could...well, he tried. He would trot up, look like he was going to say something, then just walk away. But enough of him, he doesn't matter as much. Unfortunately, when we all split up to look around... I was stuck with him.. and Golden Delicious. I only found another bandanna, that was blue. Golden Delicious said he " Didn't wan't to waste my prized credit ". At least he was nice about it, even when I insisted that he could buy at least one thing. Prism, on the other hand...he wanted anything invovled with sports, or the Wonderbolts. And there was a lot of it. If I said 'yes' to at least half, I would've spent all of my savings for that week...And I live in a castle. " Ugh, I still don't see why I couldn't get those stuff at the market. " wailed Prism Bolt as we trotted back to class on the trail. " Because I would've run out of my allowance. " I replied irritably. I checked my wallet to see how much money I had left. Ten dollars?! That's barely enough to buy a rusty ol' pan back at the market! " I don't get it, " Prism Bolt interrupted my thoughts, now walking to me side. " You live in a castle, and you're royalty! Shouldn't you get more money than all of us combined! " I turned my head sharply, distraught by his words. " Well, for your information, money doesn't grow on trees. " I replied, now annoyed by his stupidity. " And also, if I had more money than all of you I wouldn't learn how to manage my own money... And that's an important skill to learn." His face flushed in fury, " Then what are you, the Money Police?!" he yelled. I leaned back in shock. I never thought that my friend Prism would get so hyped up on my allowance and how I would spend it! No offense, dude. " Well, " I replied calmly. " Next time I want you to help me manage my own money, I'll let you know. " He stomped all his hooves, and flew off leaving a faded rainbow behind him. Suddenly, I felt guilty for some reason. I looked back at Golden Delicious, his eyes wide. I blushed, then coughed lightly. " Do you think he'll be ok? " I asked him. He trotted up next to me, " Well, he's got some problems with his parents. " he answered. " Really? " I replied, now drawn to what he was about to say. " He's the son of Rainbow Dash and Soarin', so he's got a lot on his shoulders. One's with the Wonderbolts, the other the fastest pegasus in Equestria. " He replied, the horror of it reflecting in his crystal eyes. Wow, I thought as the school yard was in sight. Prism's just like me. My mother's a Princess, my father a knight for Queen Celestia. " Hey guys! " Clarity's voice interrupted my thoughts. I saw Prism hunched just behind Anthea, soothing him. " Is Prism ok? " I asked, once Cotton Candy cam up next to Clarity. " Oh, he'll be alright darling. " Rarity came up behind her daughter. She noticed the confused looks on our faces. " I'm picking up Clarity and Turquoise Blitz. They both have doctor appointments. " continued Rarity, as she swished her mane out of her face. No wonder Clarity always looks her best. I thought as I saw they're identical features. She looks exactly like her mom! " Well, I'll see ya later, Clarity! " I said, as she put her bag on her back. " I'll see you all tomorrow! " she replied, as she was walking away with Rarity. Once Clarity left Anthea trotted over, Prism following at her side with his head down. " My bet is that you stay away from him till tomorrow. " whispered Cotton Candy into my ear. " I won't worry about it, " I replied. " I'll go talk to him. " I walked over to Prism, a playful smirk on my face. " Come on, I know the great Prism Bolt- son of Rainbow Dash- will never get beaten down just because someone flared your temper! " I tried to look him in the eye, but whenever I did, he would just turn his head away. " Look, all our friends are starting to leave! So, come on...still friends? " I asked him. That's when he finally looked back at me, a weary look on his face. " Yeah, I guess so. " he replied with a small but true smile. " Thanks Prism. " I replied. We started to pack up, grabbing our homework and textbooks. " Want to come to my place on Saturday? " asked Prism, now a full smile on his face. I turned to face him, " Sure, and I'll take my brother with me. If that's alright. " I replied. We suddenly shifted closer to each other, our faces flushed. We moved closer still, my heart beating quickly... we kissed.
