Chapter 36: Roller Rink Break
Lola started to walk toward Dorm 23 as a calm Sticks the Badger was organizing her totem shrine for another day. The bunny solved things with Applejack, but will the same be said for the badger. She entered the 3rd dorm building and made her way to the door of Dorm 23. Lola knocked on the door and waited. There, the door opened as Sticks saw her friend smiling.
"Hi Sticks". She spoke in a cheerful tone.
"Uhm...is this about the clothing thing?". Sticks curiously asked instead of a greeting response.
"Look...I've spoke to Applejack about this. I talked about the friendship between you and her. Canterlot United Ladies need this tremendous act to win every game unless we get beat to the bottom of the MLS table".
"Well, good luck trying to get me to speak to Aj, Lola. I appreciate your effort". The badger was closing the door, but the bunny stopped her.
"Sticks". She opened the door again. "I'm going to the Xtreme Roller Rink tonight. Why don't you come with me and discuss this further as a pair".
"Huh...a roller rink does sound fascinating to attend. It's a deal!". Sticks shook her hand, Lola not needing to. She smiled and took the offer.
At the roller rink...
"Hey..uh..listen". The bunny was skating alongside Sticks and Pinkie Pie, the latter joining them as the sound of Phil Collin's 'In The Air Tonight' filled the venue. "I know you and Aj have a rough time together at a minimum, but can I get the band back together is what I'm worried about?".
"Applejack always has a slight rival to me, but I act cool and ignore her for some of the time". Sticks answered.
"Concerned or not. I have to do something about this. I have to fix this bond if we're going to win games with the team. I always had a soft spot for you since I rescused you from death by robotic foot".
"I speak to her like, all of the time!". Pinkie spoke. "She's nice to me. You're going to have to act like me if you want her to like you more".
"What Pinkie said was right, Sticks". Lola continued. "For like most of the part, being yourself as wild and imaginative as you are can really benefit the group, and Canterlot United as a whole. You need to fight back and tell her you're sorry for the confrontation you've both received upon one another. Eventually, you're issues will be compromised and everything will be back to square one, just the way the girls and I like it".
"But what if she revokes the claim? What do I do then?".
"You try and get her to make peace with you. Helenia and the other girls were counting on me to evaluate on the situation, therefore putting mild stress on me and making this seem difficult, especially if said situation involves you as a key component".
"I'll try to snatch up what I can chew on her, and I don't mean that as a literal terminology". Sticks responded. "Applejack probably regret the fight more than me".
"Go talk to her and say you're sorry for retaliating". Lola placed a hand on her sholder, smiling. Pinkie, on the other hand was skating around the rink with random people she'd never met before. The two girls watched her, moving in a full 360 degree turn.
"Why don't we go get a drink". The bunny suggested.
"I wonder if they have Orange Soda here, the one I like, not the Jolly Rancher flavor". Sticks concluded, both girls skating to the bar and seeing the options on the menu. Lola chose Pumpkin Space Latte while Sticks chose the typical Orange Soda. Both girls sat down after paying and watched as Pinkie was still enjoying herself on the rink.
That's the end of this chapter. Lola, Sticks and Pinkie discussing the situation on skates, a new place they've entered. What will happen next? Read on to find out. Please review.
