Blue Streak
"Now, what is a young foal, like myself, suppose to do for 4 hours? Hmmm..." I asked myself aloud as I walked through the cobblestone streets of Ponyville. My parents told me to go find something to do until the party that that "Pinkie Pie" pony said she was gonna make. My parents said they were gonna stay at the apartment to unpack the last of our stuff, which was fine by me. I did not feel like breaking my hooves trying to carry my dad's set of 25-100 pound dumbbells.
They gave me 10 Bits in case I wanted to buy something, but as I passed the various shops and stores of Ponyville, I found nothing of interests. I was about to call it quits and go back to my parents when I was suddenly knocked onto the ground by a orange and purple blur. I shut my eyes in pain for a couple of seconds, and when I opened them, I saw a pretty sight. A young filly, maybe my age, was sleeping on my chest. She had an orange coat that clashed with her purple mane that looked a lot like mine. I was about to poke her head to see if she was awake when her eyes lazily and slowly began to open. She looked around in confusion as her mind was lazily starting up
"Huh, what?" She said confused before her eyes went wide when she saw me, we stared at each others eyes, my orange ones and her dazzling grayish purple ones. I was kinda lost in her eyes as I noticed she was slightly blushing as she frantically tried to sprawl away from me. I realized how awkward this must have looked like as I tried to sprawl away too. Bad idea...
We both tried to push away from each other as our limbs collided and our hooves fought. We ended up in a slightly better, and a slightly worse position. We were both standing up, but somehow, and don't question, our wings somehow got locked together. It looked like our feather down was matted with sweat and it managed to glue our wings together. We once again tried to pull away from each other, both of us running in opposite directions, until we strained our little foal and filly wings to the max. We gave up separating as we sat in an embarrassing silence.
"Well... this is weird." I said bluntly as the orange filly just nodded in agreement. Another couple of seconds passed by before I tried to start a conversation again.
"Know anyone who could fix this?" I ask as I shook my wing a little as the filly got a thoughtful look on her face before she gasped and smiled. She immediately tried to stand up but was dragged back down as she hurt both our wings.
"I take that as a 'Yes'?" I asked as she nodded furiously as she tried to go once more, but hurt our wings again.
"Okay, seriously, slow down a bit! Let's try standing up at the same time, k?" I asked as the filly nodded. I began a count to three as we shakily stood up. We almost fell a couple times, but we managed to stand up.
"Good. Now, where is this pony who could help us?" I asked as she pointed a hoof at the sky. I looked up and saw a large cloud house- No. Cloud MANSION in the sky. It was a HUGE building that looked like it was built from ponies from Ancient Greece. I stared at the house in awe before the filly waved her orange hoof in my face to get my attention.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry, got distracted there. Anyway, how do we get up there? I mean, we are both just kids and we can't really fly with our wings like this." I said as the silent orange filly began thinking again before she got that same look of excitement as she tried to run off again, which ended up with hurting our wings, AGAIN.
"Wait will yah!? Jeez, you really are an excited filly for one so quiet." I said as she gave me an annoyed look.
"Hey, its not my fault you're so slow." She said, finally speaking for once, as she glared at me angrily.
"Ohhh, so you do talk." I said teasingly as the filly just "Hmph"ed at me which made me feel kinda bad, to tell you the truth.
"Look I'm sorry, let's start over, huh? My name is Blue Streak." I said in a friendly voice as I held out a hoof for a hoofshake. She looked at my cautiosly, hesitant to accept it before she sighed and hoofshaked me.
"Scootaloo." My eyebrows furrowed at her name, which she just got annoyed by.
"What? My name too weird for yah?" She asked, a little ticked off.
"No, not that. Scootaloo's actually a pretty cool and unique name!" I said as her eyes widened, and a slight blush crossed her cheeks.
"Umm, thanks, I guess. No one has said that about my name before, not even my best friends." She admitted as she kicked her hoof at a nearby rock, since the conversation became awkward again.
"Umm, how 'bout we find that friend of yours, huh?" I asked as she got excited again, like she immediately forgot what just happened a moment ago. She turned and was about to start off, AGAIN, but I stopped.
"Woah, there. How about we walk so we don't hurt our wings again?" I asked as she took a second to think about it before she just sighed in annoyance and nodded.
"Good, now lead the way Scootaloo." I said as we began walking through the streets of Ponyville.
We actually had a couple of small conversations along the way to wherever Scootaloo was taking me. She's a blank-flank, like myself, and she and a couple of her friends started a little club they called "The Cutie-Mark Crusaders." Pretty catchy name actually. Scootaloo said they join up and do a bunch of crazy stunts, jobs, and adventures to see if they can find their Cutie-Marks. This actually seemed really cool to me as I listened intently to all the stories of the grand adventures she had. This filly was amazing! She's done a load of cool stuff with her friends and each story seemed more cooler than the last. Like each time she told me a new story, it was 20% percent cooler than the last!
After a while of listening to her stories, I told her some stuff about me, like how I just moved in from Los Pegasus and I was really a sporty type of foal. I told her about my old soccer team back at my old school, "The Lightning Hooves." She got really excited when I said we made it to nationals this one year and got second place out of 58 teams. My main occupation tended to be either soccer, or doing crazy stunts that usually land me with a broken limb.
"Dang Blue, you're as much of a daredevil as I am, but Rainbow Dash is still amazinger." Scootaloo said as she got a strange fangirl face on her as she began dazing off into her thoughts.
"Don't you mean 'More Amazing,' and who is Rainbow dash?" I asked Scootaloo as she gasped at me in surprise as if I asked a dumbfounding question.
"H-How do you not know who she is?! She is, like, the FASTEST FLYER IN EQUESTRIA!" She yelled the last part in my ear; I was pretty sure she blew out my eardrum there.
"Ah! Buck that hurts! Keep a clamp on your mouth! Jeez!" I whined as I held my right ear with my hoof as we made it to the front of a large tree house. I looked at the sun to see it was beginning to descend over the EverFree Forest. I guessed it was 6 PM, meaning I had 2 more hours until the party. I took my hoof away from my ear as I turned and faced Scootaloo.
"Okay, is this the-"
"TWILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT" Scootaloo yelled again as she banged her hooves against the wooden door and I felt my ears bleeding. What is wrong with this filly?
"Scootaloo! Please stop yelling!" I asked loudly to reach over her screaming voice. Then I heard the sound of the door unlocking as a lavender unicorn with a purple and pink mane opens up and has a very annoyed expression. She's slightly confused when she sees me, but her expression quickly turns back to anger as she glares annoyingly at Scootaloo.
"Scootaloo..." She began with suppressed anger in her tone.
"... Rainbow Dash and I have talked to you about your voice level, now what's the pro-" She cuts off and stares at our wings with a wide eyed expression. She lets out a small chuckle as her lips pursed and she's slightly chuckles but quickly tries to hide it.
"E-Excuse me kids, I uh, gotta send for someone." She uses her magic to quickly slam the door as we hear laughing from the other side. I turn to Scootaloo with a confused expression as she returns with the same. We look back at the door as we hear some talking fro, behind.
"...SPIKE!... send... message... Rainbow Dash... HILARIOUS!...Hahahahaha..." We hear the lavender unicorn say little parts from inside as I felt Scootaloo move. I turned and saw her shaking with a huge smile. Why is she- Ooohhh, yeah... she's a crazy fanfilly over that Rainbow Dash character. She must be shaking in her hooves to see her "Idol".
About an hour has passed of waiting outside and I'm totally BORED! Scootaloo is still shaking and I can't even lay down because of our wings so I have to stand up the entire time, and it SUCKS!
"Uuuuggghhh, when is this Rainbow Dash getting here, I have to be at the party in an hour?!" I asked Scootaloo.
"..."
"Ugh, she's still in 'LaLa Land'." I said as I waved my hoof in circles near my head.
"Guys, you can in. (Rainbow Dash, this is so worth it)" I heard the lavender unicorn from behind the door. I tapped Scootaloo on the head, but she was still lost in her thoughts so I ended up dragging the both of us in. I pushed open the door as I literally dragged the dazed Scootaloo on her side as our wings acted as a bond. I looked up and saw the lavender pony trying to suppress her chuckles as a new blue with a rainbow mane pegasus lady was her with the same wide-eyed expression the lavender pony gave us earlier. Okay, this laughing was getting seriously
"Okay, What. Is. So. FUNNY!" I yelled the last part, getting seriously pissed off in curiosity. They both paused their laughter momentarily as they stared at me and my sudden outburst. The blue began chuckling as she walked over and inspected our wings. Scootaloo seemed to finally snapped out of her daze as she was shaking more violently since her so called "Idol" was inspecting her wings.
"Well Scootaloo, you and your coltfriend here have gotten yourself in quite a knot here. Don't worry, Rainbow Dash had got this." The blue one said as Scootaloo began blushing.
"R-Rainbow Dash! Blue's not my coltfriend! Owie!" She yelled, then yelped in pain as Rainbow Dash began tugging at our wings. She twisted, pulled and used her teeth to tear at our feathery down. I felt my wings shift into positions that I'm sure that are not suppose to bend that way.
After grueling moments of pain, my eyes were shut tight as I tried to focus myself on something other than the pain. Eventually, it stopped. I opened my eyes to see that my wings were free! They were in a terrible state, but they were FREE! I jumped and whooped into the air for a couple of seconds as I flapped my wings a couple times. They hurt like hell, but they weren't tied to Scootaloo anymore.
I turned and faced Scootaloo, who was saying "Thank You" repeatedly to Rainbow Dash as she tried, hence on "Tried" to calm Scootaloo down. I chuckled at her antics as I turned to face the door. I was about to make my way over there when I heard Rainbow Dash calling out to me.
"Yo, kid." I was surprised at that as I turned around and answered back.
"The name's Blue Streak, and what is it?" I asked as I stayed by the door, hoof on the handle.
"Are you one of the three new foals in town?" She asked as she pointed her hoof at me as I removed mine from the door handle.
"Yah, I am."
"Well, let me be first to welcome you to Ponyville!" She said happily as Scootaloo was still pestering her about Celestia knows what.
"You're a little late for that Ms. Dash, Pinkie Pie got there first." I finished with a friendly laugh as I turned around once more only for Scootaloo to call out to me, this time.
'Jeez, what now? I got like half an hour 'till the party, and I gotta get home and get clean!'
I turned around once more, trying to hide my irritation, as I faced the two pegasi once more.
"Yes..." I said, albeit, a little annoyed.
"You gonna go to your party tonight, right?" She asked as I nodded my head.
"Cool! Imma bring my friends so you can meet them then we can all be friends!" She said with much enthusiasm as I saw Rainbow Dash get an evil grin on her face.
"Trying to get your friends' approval of your new coltfriend, aren't cha Scootaloo, hmmm..." She said as she teasingly nudged Scootaloo's side.
"RAINBOW DASH! HE ISN'T MY COLTFRIEND!" She yelled at her "Idol."
'Ugh, she's yelling again. That's my que to leave'
"That sounds nice, seeya tonight Scootaloo." I said as I made my way out the door and into the now dark Ponyville as Scootaloo kept yelling at Rainbow Dash from inside the large tree house.
