Chapter 8


Devastation pricked Twilight's heart after what she had just witnessed. Fluttershy was gonna get in really big trouble now that Rarity and RainbowDash had even tried to get involved in helping her...

Nothing just seemed like it was going well...

Oh... I wish we could just have a simple fun time and have a simple coach and... But that's not what we have do we? We have to do this or we'll never be as good as the other teams we face...

Fear pricked Twilight as she then began to realize that the more they stalled, the more they might not be able to train, causing them to probably totally flunk the upcoming games!

They needed this time to train! Especially Fluttershy!

Twilight then watched as FastBall trudged over to Rarity to speak a few words to her as well, before he then turned towards Fluttershy's small shaking body from on the gym floor.

He snorted before he pounded over to the yellow Pegasus now, his ears flat against his head in anger.

"W-What do you think'll happen to Fluttershy?" Came Applejack's sudden voice from beside Twilight.

Twilight quickly flinched and freaked out at this. "H-Huh? A-Applejack? W-What are you doing!? You need to take this time seriously and get back to where your supposed to be... FastBall may be a jerk sometimes but he's doing this for our own good. We need to be punished so we can see our wrong!" Twilight explained thoroughly making Applajack just twitch her ears.

"U-Uh so... That means I gotta go back to my spot right?" Applejack dumbdoundedly asked next.

Twilight just sighed dramatically. "I-I'm sorry AJ. I just think we need more... well... control over ourselves" Twilight then admitted, lowering her head now.

So far things weren't going as planned... especially now.


Fluttershy coward in FastBall's shadow, not daring to look up.

The Coach just stood towering over her for a long moment now, making Fluttershy wonder if he was really gonna punish her or not? But then he finally spoke, making Fluttershy just wanna get up and go home...

"Fluttershy... What in the name of Celestia are you doing? GET UP. NOW..." FastBall demanded, making Fluttershy instantly rise to her hooves, but she was carefully balancing herself so that her hair didn't uncover her face...

"Now, what I want you to do is get your ball and just get back in line... IT'S SO SIMPLE!" FastBall ordered next, his snout now inches away from her mane-covered face.

"U-Um ok..." Fluttershy finally nodded before she then began turning towards the direction in which her ball had rolled off too...

"GOOD. NOW STOP BEING SO IMMATURE AND GET BACK TO PRACTICE!" FastBall roared before he trotted back to his position at the starting blue line. He then blew the whistle, signaling for everyone to start their dribbling yet again.

Rarity, who was now taking the time to get a sip of water from her waterbottle, had a totally disgusted look on her face now.

What does that FastBall think he's doing? He can't possibly help train us with that kinda attitude?...

Come to think of it now, Rarity was seeing all of her friends beginning to tear apart from each other. They all tried to care for one another but was only always then tore away from their kindness by.. COACH FASTBALL!

Rarity sighed as she then heard the whistle. She got to her hooves and then picked up her delicate pink Basketball from home. "A-At least your still as gorgeous as me, right?" Rarity then spoke to her ball boastfully just as suddenly FastBall stepped in front of her path from getting back into her place on the blue line.

"I-I beg your pardon sir but I think I'm ready to start practicing again... So if you just excuse me I'll be on my way and-" Rarity began as soon as FastBall had casted her a snobbish look.

"Oh no you don't" FastBall straightened his shoulders, causing Rarity to take a step back in a sudden unsure manner.

"Your going to train like everypony else here! It's time you knew the meaning of 'Orders' and 'Respect'. Here... TAKE THIS!" FastBall instantly shoved a normal basketball into Rarity's hooves, causing her to flail and drop it quickly.

"E-Eww gross! I can't touch that! It's been handled by so many other ponies that I just simply couldn't-" Rarity began whining, but FastBall had just simply had enough now, what with Fluttershy, her and Rainbowdash stepping out of line all for a roll-away-ball?

"Look miss. I think I'm the coach here, now your going to do what I tell you to do. NOW GET TO IT!" FastBall instructed, not taking any more chances.

Rarity quickly bit back a sharp remark, now seeing where this was truly leading.. How could FastBall do this to her? He knew just how much this germ thing meant to her and all he had to say was 'Get to it' and blow it off?!

T-This truly is unfair!

Without wasting another split second to just sit and look at FastBall's ugly, cruel, idiotic face, Rarity quickly picked up the nasty ball that had been picked from off of the rack and began strutting over to her starting position again.

Her ears were flat and for the first time ever... she didn't feel very glamorous...
