Chapter 25: Scouting For Girls

The next day, in the cafeteria...

"I don't see why this is such a big deal". Sunset Shimmer said, eating her cereal.

"It's pretty bad". Fluttershy replied. "We're still trying to find out who vandalized the academy wall".

"Uh, huh. Yeah, and don't tell me it's one of us girls".

Most of the girls who were sat at the table made hand gestures at her.

"Ugh! I'm still pretty worried that it might have been one of you lot". She added.

"Don't worry Sunset". Lola replied. "It won't be".

"I'm still trying to get this over my head. It would seem pretty ironic if i gave up now".

"Ha!". Vanellope laughed. "Giving up is not what's on my list".

Most of the girls seemed satisfied with Vanellope's comment.

"Thanks Vanellope" Sunset replied. "I'm glad someone understands me".

Timothy, Jenny and Martin were sat in the cafeteria too, examing the 11 girls to see if one of them was the culprit.

"So, who do you did it?". Jenny asked.

"Uhhhh... I don't know Jen". Timothy answered. "They all look so innocent".

"Not Lola and Sunset".

"I'm still trying to think it's our fellow dormmate". Martin said.

"I'm looking at them right now". Timothy replied. "But i'm curious if Sunset Shimmer was the one who did it".

"Yeah". Jenny replied. "Always spy on the innocent ones. Great plan Tim".

"Just say it was her, then we would all be happy".

"Good idea". Jenny replied, finishing her cereal.

Martin showed a sinister grin. He should have thought of this a long time ago. Jenny got up on the table and started shouting.

"Everybody. Whoever vandilized the academy wall will be brutaly punished by Trunchbull. I think I know who did it". She said, pointing to Sunset. "All blame Sunset Shimmer for this inconvienience".

Everybody stared at Sunset, even the Mane 10. People were shouting across to her as if they hated her. Sunset held her head in confusion and began sinking her head into her arms.

"Why is everybody thinking it was her". Lola asked.

In the hallway. The Mane 10 were trying to comfort Sunset for the inconvienience that happened in the cafeteria.

"I'm so sorry girls". Sunset said, crying. "I try my hardest to redeem myself from my awful she-demon form and this is the thanks I get".

"C'mon Sunset". Vanellope replied. "Lighten up".

"How can I lighten up if pratically everybody in this academy thought I did it".

Vanellope thought of her actions for a bit.

"We have to find a way to stop this". Twilight said.

"Twi's right y'all. If we think of a way to cheer Sunset up, we'll be done and dusted in no time". Applejack said.

"Like, in ten seconds flat maybe?". Rainbow asked.

"Maybe".

The girls continued walking down the hallway. Lola, however was feeling the pressure that her friend will be thrown in the Chokey. She cracked up and volunteered for her to be thrown in.

"Girls". She said, still.

She caught all of their attention to why she has stopped.

"I was the one who vandilized the academy wall".

The girls gasped in shock. Everybody thought it was Sunset who did it, but they had never thought it would be Lola.

"I was so mixed up with anger and hate from the whole Boxtrolls episode that i kinda took things into a drastic turn which I would never intend on doing. So I took the opportunity to spray-paint on the side of the academy wall. The reason I cracked up is because i volunteered to be thrown into the Chokey to save Sunset from all the hate she'd been receiving from the whole she-demon form. I'm deeply sorry that I had to do this and I promise that I won't do it again". Lola confessed.

"But how will everybody take this into the right direction". Twilight asked.

"They won't. They'll keep blaming this stuff on Sunset no matter what happens. Remember how Canterlot High School was targeted at strange and dark magic. Well, I don't want any of that to happen at Canterlot Academy too".

"Well, Vice-Principal Trunchbull would be shocked if she heard this...".

"Sunset Shimmer!". Vice-Principal Trunchbull snapped, walking down the hallway in a furious manner.

"Uh oh". Twilight said.

"We'd better run for it". Rainbow said.

The girs got ready for Vice-Principal Trunchbull to stop. Once she had done this, the 11 girls dashed past her. How did she not know it wasn't Sunset and was Lola. Se wasn't sure yet.

"I cannot believe this whole thing that just occured out of nowhere". Rainbow said as she twirled one of the soccer balls on her finger.

"Me neither". Twilight replied. "But these people don;t know anything about honesty".

"It's like... these people don't know what they're doing". Applejack replied.

"And they're don't know anything about respect". Sunset replied.

"Maybe we can forget about this whole thing". Vexy said.

"Probably. But it will just come back and haunt us". Twilight replied.

"Maybe if we played a bit of soccer to help cheer us up". Vanellope said.

"Good choice". Rainbow replied as she got off the bleachers. "Who's up for a game of soccer?".

All 10 girls raised their hands.

"Awesome. Ok, Twi, Flutters, AJ, Rarity and I will go on one team, Lola, Smurfette, Pinkie, Vexy and Vanellope on the other". Rainbow said.

"And what about me?". Sunset asked.

"Uh, you can go eswell to help both teams out".

"Nice". Sunset replied as she ran onto the pitch.

"Ok, One! Two" Three!". Rainbow counted for the game to start.

The game started after that. Twilight and Pinkie were in goal at each end of the pitch. The game went wild for the opening 5 minutes, With Vanellope creating a few good chance off the far corner. Sunset, Twilight and Fluttershy were counter-attacking with a pass-back and a finishing tap in. 1-0.

"How much time is left". Twilight asked, exhausted.

"5 more minutes, why?". Rainbow asked.

"Just saying".

The game had reached it's halfway playtime and Fluttershy seemed like she got a goal but it was cleared off the line by Smurfette. Vexy, Vanellope and Lola seemed like they were going to get goals in, but all of them were cleared by Twilight and Applejack. The game soon finished with Rainbow's header cleared off by Pinkie. Thus, the game ending 1-0 to Rainbow's team. The girls soon heard appluase from 5 men standing in front of the bleachers. None of the girls knew who they were and none of the men knew who they were.

"Bravo girls. Absoluty bravo". One of the men said.

Rainbow was the first to answer.

"Oh". She replied. "This was just a warm up for our cheer up".

"I'd say you 11 have some brilliant potential when it comes to soccer. Please tell me your names".

"Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my best friends, Fluttershy, Lola Bunny, Vanellope Von Schweetz, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Smurfette, Vexy and Sunset Shimmer". Twilight replied.

"Well. I must say, I have never seen anything much like the games that I have been too. This has to be, by far the best game that us guys have ever seen in a long time". The other guy said. "Allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Hank Lampard, and this is John Jerry, Steven Gerald, Dwayne Rooney and Daniel Bridge". Hank said, offering his hand.

"Oh". Twilight replied, shaking his hand. "It's an honour to meet you all eswell".

"It's an honour. Now, I understand why this game has cheered you up and I understand that we are looking for the most talented women players in the 5 soccer teams in Canterlot, Canterlot City Ladies, Canterlot United Ladies, Evergreen Ladies, Pesrill Ladies and Canonshape Ladies respectively, and it would be an honour if you 11 would be a part of that. Steven said.

The girls were shocked. Neither one of them had been expecting this.

"Now, who's going on who".

Rainbow immediatly put her arm around Vanellope.

"Me and Vanellope, sign up for Canterlot City Ladies please". She answered.

Vanellope followed with a smile.

"Uh, huh". Hank Lampard replied. "Rainbow Dash and Vanellope Von Schweetz, got it".

"So, who would be a great partnership". Twilight asked.

"Ummmm...". Lola replied. "This is so hard, but i'm going to have to go for Applejack to be my partnership. Sign me and Aj up for Canterlot United Ladies please".

"Uh huh". Dwyane Rooney replied. "Lola Bunny and Applejack, yep".

"This is such a hard decision. All of you girls are my best friends. But hey, I guess this opposition is worth a try". Twilight said. "I'm going to go with Smurfette and sign up for Pesrill Ladies please".

"Uh, huh". John Jerry replied. "Twilight Sparkle and Smurfette, got it down".

"I'm just going to have to go with the obvious". Vexy said. "I'm going to choose Fluttershy to go with me and sign up for Evergreen Ladies please".

"Uh, huh". Steven Gerald replied. "Fluttershy and Vexy, yep".

"I, for once will go with Pinkie and sign up for Canonshape Ladies please". Rarity said.

"Uh, huh". Daniel Bridge replied. "Pinkie Pie and Rarity, yep".

"That just leaves Sunset". Twilight said.

"Oh, ummm". Sunset replied. "This is such a hard choice. I can't leave you all behind. I'm going to have to sign up for Canterlot City Ladies please".

"Uh, huh". Hank Lampard replied. "Rainbow Dash, Vanellope Von Schweetz and Sunset Shimmer, is that everybody then".

The girls nodded.

"Well, welcome to the teams girls". Hank replied. "You will began training with the other players next week".

"Ok". Twilight replied. "We won't forget".

"Ok". Hank replied as the 5 of them headed towards their car. "See you girls later".

"See you later". Twilight replied.

Once the girls had left, the girls got into a group hug in excitement. They were finally in 5 soccer teams respectively. They let go a second later.

"This is so rad" Rainbow said, trying to keep in the excitement.

"I know right". Vanellope replied.

"Now girls". Twilight said. "We got training next week with the other players. Keep the excitement in until then".

"I can't help it Twi. The pressure is holding me in". Rainbow replied.

"Yeah. Me too". Lola replied.

Twilight giggled.

"C'mon, let's get back into the academy". She said.

And with that, the girls headed towards the academy. Who knows what who else they will meet in their soccer teams.
