>Canterlot High, 11:43 A.M.
>http://picosong.com/MiXR/
>You’re now Rainbow Dash.
”Hey girls, have you ever wondered why the new kid is always alone?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>The girls look at the quiet teen peacefully reading what it looks to be a book on the soccer pitch’s bleachers that are on the opposite side of the bleachers you and your friends usually hang out at.
>”Err, I dunno. He doesn’t talk much.” Pinkie Pie replies, “he usually leaves once classes end for the day.”
>”Come to think of it…I think he’s in my history class. He never utters a word unless the teacher asks him a question.” Rarity says.
>”And he always eats lunch by himself on those bleachers, never in the cafeteria.” Fluttershy adds.
”Huh…” you say while juggling a soccer ball with your thighs. “Weird.”
>”He doesn’t seem like a bad fella. Perhaps he’s just very shy.” Applejack says, “just like my brother.”
>”I always run into him on the hallways, and he always has his earbuds on,” Sunset Shimmer adds, “usually bobbing his head to the music.”
>You grab the ball in mid-air with both hands.
”Well, he looks like a totally chill guy. How long has he been in our school?”
>”About a month or so, I remembered how he introduced himself back in Ms. Harshwhinny’s class. He was so nervous and stuttered a lot.” Rarity says with a smile, “he looked kind of cute.”
“What’s his name again?”
>”Anonymous,” Rarity replies, “or Anon for short.”

>You’re now Anonymous.
>You raise your head a bit and suddenly spot the most popular girls in this high school looking at you.
>Oh no!
>It looks like they’re gossiping about you.
>They start giggling once your eyes meet their gaze.
>It always hurts…
>They are probably telling each other how much of a loser they think you are.
>You can’t talk to another person, especially a girl, without getting anxious.
>These five weeks have been an absolute nightmare for you.
>You wish you could go back to your old hometown.
>At least some of the students of your former high school shared the same interests as you, and accepted your anxious nature.
>The few times you’ve tried to communicate with students over here they usually feel uncomfortable by your presence and speech.
>That’s it, you’re getting out of here.
>You pack up your things and leave the bleachers.

>You’re Rainbow Dash again.
”Aww…he’s leaving already?” Pinkie Pie says, “I wonder what’s wrong with him, he looked real sad once he saw us.”
>You ponder a thought for a second, and then you snap your fingers. 
>You kick the ball hard enough to travel from your location to his.
”HEY!” You yell at the newbie. ”Would you mind passing me the ball back?”
>The ball lands a few feet away from him.
>“Umm…okay!” he says.
>He walks up to the ball and kicks it real hard.
>The ball flies back to you real quick...
>”WHOA!” you say before dodging the ball, fearing it would hit you in the face.
>Sadly, the ball hits Fluttershy in the face instead.
>”EEEP!”
>You and friends freak out.
>”Fluttershy? Fluttershy! Are you okay?” Rarity asks.
>Fluttershy tries to hold back her tears, but fails in the end, sobbing in quite a disheartening way.

>You're Anon once again.
>Congratulations! You’ve done it again you imbecile…you’ve ruined yet another simple request.
>”What’s your problem Anon?!” Rainbow Dash angrily yells at you.
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to kick the ball that hard!” You yell back.
>You really want to get out of there, but your conscience tells you to go check on Fluttershy and apologize.
>https://youtu.be/qK6jbwgayoM
“Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry.” You uncomfortably say, “a-are you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt you!” 
>”What on Earth was that Anon?!” Rainbow Dash yells, “why did you kick the ball that hard?! What’s wrong with you?”
“I-I’m so sorry Rainbow Dash! I-I wasn’t thinking straight, I just…kicked the ball and-”
>”And look at what you did you psycho! Letting out your frustrations like that isn’t-”
>”It’s okay Rainbow Dash…” Fluttershy says in that sweet and compassionate voice of hers. ”He didn’t mean to do that, it was just an accident. Right Anon?”
>Wow, Fluttershy doesn’t look mad at you.
“Of course it was an accident! I’m so sorry…”
>Fluttershy wipes away some tears with her fingers, while Rarity pulls a handkerchief out of her purse to wipe away the dirt on her face.
>”Don’t worry about it Anon.”
>”Lucky you Anon.” Rainbow Dash sighs, “Anyways…do you mind explaining to us what made you kick the ball like that?”
>You let out an awkward chuckle.
“Well I…uh, I guess I went back to my days as a soccer player.”
>”Wait what? You used to play soccer?” Rainbow Dash asks.
“Yeah, back in Junior High…not anymore though.”

>”Oh yeah? Why’s that?” Rainbow Dash says.
”Because whenever I had the ball and wanted to pass it to my teammates the ball always landed at our rival’s feet. I uh…kind of made my team lose several times.”
>”Really now? And what happened?”
>You recall painful memories you thought you had suppressed.
>[“We lost once again thanks to you Anon!”]
[“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-“]
>[“You are useless! Why do you even bother coming to practice?”]
>[“Useless…USELESS!”] 
>”Anon? ANON!” Rainbow Dash yells.
“Ah? Oh, sorry…I drifted a little bit back there. Long story short, I was kicked out of the team even though I wasn’t that bad.”
>”Really now?”
“Yeah, although I was good at doing other things like dribbling the ball, shooting and running very fast.”
>”Well then…show me.”
“Show you what?”
>”How good you really were obviously.”
>Rainbow Dash smirks and places the ball on the grass.
>”You and I, whoever scores five goals first wins.”
“But I already told you I made my team lose several times.”
>”Yeah, but we’re gonna play one against one, you won’t need to pass the ball.”
>Aww, what did you get yourself into?
>It’d be real embarrassing to lose against her.

>”Our game will serve me as warm up for my team’s next match coming up in three days.”
“Your team?”
>”You didn’t know sugarcube?” Applejack says, “Rainbow Dash is the captain of our school’s soccer team…”
“Really? Huh.”
>”Yep! I sure hope you didn’t lose practice…because that shot was really fast!”
>”And painful…” Fluttershy adds.
>”I’ve never seen such speed like that before, you probably have a hidden talent waiting to resurface. Come on, let’s play already! Or are you afraid to lose to a girl?”
“…Very well then.”

>You place your backpack on the bleachers and take off your jacket.
>Then, your usual warm ups.
>You work out from time to time by yourself; however, you haven’t touched a soccer ball in a long time.
>”Come on, what’s taking so long?”
“Hang on…”
>You stretch your legs next to the girls.
“Alright, I think I’m ready…”
>”Alright man, first one to score three goals wins okay? Another rule: no shooting outside the penalty area okay?”
“Okay…”
>Rainbow takes a coin out of her jacket’s pocket.
>”Heads or Tails?”
“Tails…”
>Rainbow flips the coin.
>”Heads! I win! Which it means I get to choose the goal and kick the ball first.”
“Alrighty then…”
>Rainbow chooses the goal and then trots to the middle of the pitch.
>She really seems eager to see how well you play.
>You won’t disappoint her.
>http://picosong.com/ww3P9/
>Rainbow kicks the ball and quickly dodges you.
>You follow behind.
>”Don’t be intimidated sugarcube! You can beat her!” Applejack shouts from the bleachers.
>Damn, Rainbow sure is quick!
>As soon as Rainbow reaches the penalty area she lifts her leg to shoot the ball.
>This is your chance!

>You’re now Rainbow Dash.
>You’re about to score the first goal.
(“This is easy”) You think to yourself.
>You are about to kick the ball.
>You look down and see…
“What the-?!”
>…Anon sliding and stealing the ball from your feet.
>http://picosong.com/ww3PX/
>It was a very clean slide!
(“IMPOSSIBLE! H-how did he-?!”)
>Anon quickly stands up and dribbles the ball.
>”Too slow Dash!” He taunts as he makes his way to your goal.
“Grrr…”
>Your friends cheer for the newbie.
>”Good job sugarcube!”
>You quickly run after Anon.
>He’s not as quick as you, so you catch up with him with ease.
“Who’s slow now newbie?!”
>Anon keeps dribbling the ball and puts his feet to work.
>He moves the ball in an expert-like way and…
“?!”
>He got past you?!
>Anon runs to the goal.
>You gotta stop him!
>Once he enters the penalty area he kicks the ball just as fast as he did before.
>It’s in…
>”Woah! I did it!” Anon says.
>”WOOO! Good job Nonny!” Pinkie Pie yells.
>This is totally not good…

“You were lucky newbie…”
>Anon doesn’t know what to say.
>”S-Sorry,” he hastily apologizes.
“Don’t be, let’s keep playing okay? Lunch break is about to end.”
>Anon nods.
>You both head to the middle of the pitch to resume the match.
>http://picosong.com/ww5fp/
>You kick the ball and head straight towards Anon’s goal.
>Anon does his best to catch up with you.
>You decide to taunt him by slowing down.
“What’s wrong? Feeling tired already?”
>You even walk around him in circles, dribbling the ball with your feet and thighs even.
>Anon, instead of trying to steal the ball away from your feet, heads to his goal.
“Psshh…like that’s gonna stop me,” You say as you raise your foot, “here you go!”
>As soon as you enter the penalty area you kick the ball as hard as you can straight towards the goal.
>Yep, it’s gonna go in!
>Anon doesn’t use his hands to stop the ball. Instead he…
“WHAT?!”
>He slid to prevent the ball from going into the goal. He blocked it with his lower leg.
>Anon immediately stands up and runs after the ball.
>It’s going out of bounds anyways…
>Anon prevents the ball from meeting Fluttershy’s face again, running at a speed you’ve never seen before.
>The girls cheer once again.
>Anon runs towards your goal, dribbling the ball.
>”What’s the matter Rainbow Dash? Can’t beat the new kid?” Applejack teases you.
“Get back here Anon!”

>http://picosong.com/ww5fG/
>That does it!
>You’re the Canterlot’s High Captain! You’re not gonna let this rookie shame you.
>You run after him and quickly catch up with him once again.
>He’ll get a taste of your more advanced skills.
>He doesn’t look afraid, instead…he looks somewhat focused.
>But that won’t stop you.
“Try to dodge THIS!” You say before sliding in a very aggressive way.
>Anon does a quick trick with his feet.
>What the-?! Where’s the ball?!
>Anon jumps over your legs while the ball lands right in front of him.
>He pulled off a successful chip?!
>As soon as Anon reaches the goal he kicks the ball, which quickly makes its way to the goal.
>”GOOAAAAL!” Pinkie Pie cheers, “that’s two – null Dashie!”
>You gotta be kidding!
>Anon doesn’t celebrate, instead he helps you get back on your feet.
>You sigh.
”That was pretty cool goal dude, you’re pretty good.”
>”Y-you too,” Anon uncomfortably says.

>You resume the match once again.
>1 more goal and you will lose.
>You quickly kick the ball and try do a chip over Anon’s head.
>Anon runs towards the ball and jumps, hitting the ball with the top of his head.
>Darn it! You didn’t kick the ball high enough.
>Anon runs towards your goal.
>You run towards your goal instead of trying to steal the ball from him. 
>As soon as you reach the area you’ll turn around and wait for Anon to shoot the ball.
>When you’re finally near the goal you turn around and see a ball about to hit your face.
>”Watch out Rainbow Daaa…“ Anon tries to say.
>The ball hit you right in your beautiful face, hard enough to make you fall on your back.
>Your face! It hurts a lot!
>Your friends quickly run towards the pitch to assist you.
>”I-I’m sorry Rainbow! I didn’t see you were there! A-are you okay?” Anon tries to apologize.
>”That had to hurt, a lot!” Pinkie Pie says.
>https://youtu.be/dzUDQQrUgu0?t=2s
>”It was an accident! I swear Dash!” Anon repeats himself.
>Rarity and Twilight help you get back on your feet.
>”Is it a bad moment to declare Anon the winner Dashie?” Pinkie Pie says, “the ball went across the line after all.”
“Wha-?”
>You turn around and see the ball inside the goal.
“Auuuugh…”
>You lost, fair and square against a mighty foe.
>How on Earth did the new kid get the best of you?!
>Anon lets out an awkward chuckle.
>”Yeah…so, no hard feelings Rainbow Dash?”
>You squint at him, but then you just let out a sigh.
“Sure…good game Anon, you’re pretty good. I guess I underestimated you by saying how bad you were. Was this your initial intention?”
>”Uhh…no, I was telling the truth! I swear!”
“Very funny Anon, don’t make fun of me like that…” you say as you dust yourself off.
>”I’m serious! I always screwed up big back in Junior High…yeah, I trained a bit to get better, but my teammates always outclassed me, and they ALWAYS got mad at me if I did something wrong.”
>Your rub your face to alleviate the pain.
>It seems Anon is quite tough on himself, although he’s pretty darn good at soccer.
>”Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I think I am…owie, that’s gonna hurt tomorrow.”
>”Sorry.”
>The bell rings, lunchbreak has ended.
>You’ll have to keep an eye on the newbie.
>He’s sooo gonna regret being so careless.

>An hour later.
>You’re in math class.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZTlNehpLgc
>Ms. Cheerilee is giving a boring-as-always lecture.
>You wish you were outside, perhaps taking a nap.
>Anon looks really invested in the class however.
>Yeah, you haven’t been able to take your eyes off him.
>There’s no way in Earth someone like him could better you in soccer.
>”Does anyone know the answer?” Ms. Cheerilee asks.
>”x equals 315.13,” Anon replies.
>”That’s correct! Good job as always Anon.”
>Ugh, what a dork…
>Good thing Twilight isn’t inscribed in this class, otherwise it’d be a battle of the nerds.
>You chuckle to yourself.
>In that moment, the PA system rings up.
>[”Good afternoon students,”] Principal Celestia’s voice is heard on the speakers, [“We have a special guest that requires you all to be at the GYM to make a very important announcement!”]
>A special guest?
>[“That’s right, a special guest. Everyone, gather at the gym ASAP.”]
>Everyone looks baffled.
>”What would Principal Celestia want?” Bright Idea asks.
>”I don’t know…special guest? What did she mean by that?” Flash Sentry says.
>”Very well then…” Ms. Cheerilee says, “I think that’s enough math for today, you may leave.”
>Sweet!
>She even forgot to give you homework!
>Whoever this special guest is, you owe him one.
>Anon stands up and walks outside the classroom.
”Dude! Wait up!”
>You shove your stuff inside your backpack and follow behind.

>Minutes later.
>Every teen is waiting for the guest to show up.
>“I wonder what’s going on, Principal Celestia looks a bit worried,” Twilight says.
>”Indeed,” Rarity says, “look at all that sweat forming under her armpits. Two words: Guh-ross!”
>”Who could that ‘special guest’ be?” Applejack asks.
>”Maybe the President is doing a tour and he’ll show up at our school!” Pinkie Pie says.
>”Umm…I don’t think the President is gonna be here,” Sunset says.
>Anon doesn’t utter a word as usual.
>The lights go dim.
>”Shh…it’s about to start,” Fluttershy says.
>The lights focus on Principal Celestia, she walks towards the podium and taps the microphone with her finger to get everyone’s attention.
>”Is everyone here? Good…” Principal Celestia says onto the microphone, “Good afternoon Wondercolts! Are you ready to meet the special guest that is joining us today?”
>Nobody says a word…
>Awkwaaaard!
>”Very well then, here he is! Be sure to give a warm welcome to our guest: Superintendent Discord!”
>Principal Celestia walks off the podium and begins to clap.
>Nobody joins her of course.
>Superintendent Discord makes his appearance.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jMFV55kTi8
>”Good afternoon students of Canterlot High!  How are you doing?”
>Silence again…
>Someone lets out a cough.
>”My my, quite the enthusiastic students you have Principal Celestia.”
>”Eheheh…you know how teens are Superintendent Discord,” she says in an apologizing manner before giving you all the stink eye.
>Superintendent Discord turns his head to the audience.
>”Students of Canterlot High, I’m sure you are all wondering why you’re gathered here in the first place.”
>Everyone starts talking to each other, asking questions.
>”Yes, I know you’re anxious to know. Well, here’s the reason why.”
>”Get on with it!” Flash Sentry yells from his spot.
>”Flash!” Principal Celestia immediately scolds.
>”Don’t scold the kid Principal Celestia,” Superintendent Discord says, “it’s obvious he’s DYING to know why he’s here, because it’s obvious he doesn’t come to school to learn something to make himself useful in the real world…”
>Ouch, that was a sick burn.
>Flash Sentry sits down, feeling quite embarrassed.
>”As I was trying to say, you Wondercolts of Canterlot High are formally invited to form part of the sixteen high schools that will participate in the 1st Annual Interschool Sports Competition!”
“Huh?”
>Everyone looks baffled.
>”Yes, this is a physical activation program made and approved by the State, and what’s a better way to do this than a friendly competition against Crystal Prep Academy and many other schools from this county?”
>Canterlot High will compete against Crystal Prep Academy? Your sworn enemies?
>This is interesting…
>“You will all compete against the best of the best for a big prize!”
>”A prize?!” Principal Celestia says.
>”Oh yes, there will be a lot more funding for the winning high school!” Superintendent Discord replies, “your school seems to need it the most.”
>A piece of plywood falls from the ceiling onto the basketball court.
>”Former-Dean-and-now-Principal Cadance is looking forward to the eliminatory rounds which will take place next week!”
>”N-next week?!” Principal Celestia says.
>”I know, Crystal Prep will host the competition, it’s not like your school could afford do it…and if it did the building would fall down for sure.”
>Vice Principal Luna squints at Discord’s unpleasant comments.

>”These will be the events for the eliminatory rounds at Crystal Prep Academy,” Superintendent Discord says as he takes a bunch of flash cards out of his suit’s pocket.
>Unfortunately, many of them fall on the floor.
>Flash Sentry starts to laugh.
>”Did you see that jerk?!” Flash says, laughing even harder, “he dropped his notes!”
>This is so awkward.
>”I can’t believe that guy used to have a crush on me,” Twilight says.
>Principal Celestia looks like she could crack Flash Sentry’s skull right now.
>Superintendent Discord clears his throat.
>http://picosong.com/ww5JM/
>”I did that on purpose, it’s not like I needed to use them. For these eliminatory rounds there will be four events in a row and four schools, yours being amongst them, will participate. The winner will get 200 points each round, 2nd place will get 150, 3rd place will get 100 and last place will get 50, adding to those points there will be extra ways to rate your athletes’ performance to get individual awards!”
“I-Individual awards?”
>”That’s right young lady, there will be awards as well as prizes for those who stand out from their teammates. A team will consist of ten boys and ten girls, five teens for each event, they will participate in the four rounds, I’d recommend forming an A+ team with a captain strong enough to ensure your survival in this tournament.”
>Everybody present looks at you.
>”Yeah, Rainbow Dash HAS to be the captain!” Microchips says.
>”Totally! Perhaps we will be able to win something…I mean, the best we could make last time was tie the Friendship Games,” Pinkie Pie says.
>”Yeah…also that whole thing with Twilight becoming an evil princess and almost destroying and tearing the fabric of realty apart did a number on our school,” Blueberry Cake says.
>Everyone turns around to give Twilight a very rude glance.
>Except for Anon, although he looks quite confused.
>”Excuse me, what was that?” Anon says.
>Twilight lets out an uncomfortable chuckle.
>”Yeah…sorry about that,” Twilight apologizes.
>“Ignore them Twilight, they’ll get over it.” Sunset Shimmer comforts her.
>”If you’re done talking to each other…” Superintendent Discord says, “I’d like to announce the events and then the rules…blergh.”
>You all listen to him.
>”Very well then; the events are Cross Country; Swimming; Relay Race and lastly Diving!”
>No soccer? Lame…
>”Five members, no matter the sex-“
>”Hehehe…he said sex,” Snails says.
>”It’s the correct term, I would’ve used gender…but it would fall into a grey area; anyways. Five whatevers will compete in the first event, then another five and so on. If someone decides to participate in multiple events that’s okay, they will compete for the Most Valuable Player award.”
>”Will there be another awards?” Derpy asks.
>”Oh yes, there will be more such as Most Aggressive Player-”
>”That’s totally Rainbow’s award…” Snips says.
“Now what did you mean by that you jerk?!”
>Everyone laughs at you.
>How embarrassing.
>”Most Technical as well, and last but not least Most Carried…heh, except that isn’t an award, your whole team will get points deducted if a member doesn’t participate at all. So Captain!”
“Huh?”
>”Choose your teammates carefully…”
>Principal Celestia nods.
>”And…what about the big prize?” She asks, rubbing her hands.
>”That’s a secret Principal Celestia, but the potential teammates for that young lady I’m seeing here really are quite disappointing…I don’t really expect someone from here to make it above last place.”
>Vice Principal Luna looks quite mad.
>”The eliminatory rounds will take place at Crystal Prep High next Saturday, EVERYONE should go cheer for your team! Go Wondercats or whatever…”
>Superintendent Discord steps off the podium.
>”It’s actually Wondercolts…” Principal Celestia says, “well, that’s Superintendent Discord everyone, say bye with a thunderous applause!”
>A few claps are heard.
>”Well, that was the big announcement, go back to your classes.”
>Everyone talks to each other as they leave the bleachers to head back to their respective classrooms.
>”Man, what a waste of time…”
>”I dunno, I kind of want to participate…”
>”Meh, if Crystal Prep alone can kick our tails then I don’t want to know how we will face other two schools, let alone twelve more!”
>”Where’s your school spirit?! GO WONDERCOLTS!” Pinkie Pie yells.
>You feel someone tapping your shoulder.
>You turn your head around and find both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna standing right behind you.
>”Rainbow Dash, may we talk in private?” Vice Principal Luna says.
“Oh, s-sure. What do you want to talk about?”
>”Head to my office, we’ll join you there in five minutes,” Principal Celestia says.
>Fifteen minutes later.
>http://picosong.com/wwBLN/
>Principal Celestia’s office.
>11:33 A.M.
>You’re sooo bored.
“Where are they? They said it would only take five minutes!” You say, wondering where the sisters in charge of this crazy high school might be.
>You turn your head around your shoulder as soon as you hear the sound of the door opening behind you.
“Finally! What took you two so long?!”
>”Oh nothing dearie, we just had to get something out of the archives.” Principal Celestia says.
>You see Vice Principal Luna carrying a large box that says “Dash, R.” on one of its sides, she looks quite fatigued from carrying the heavy looking box.
>She hastily places the box on Principal Celestia’s desk, slamming it with a loud THUD.
>”Rainbow Dash, are you having a good day?” Principal Celestia asks.
“I was…” you say, briefly recalling how the new kid humiliated you in the court, “what’s this about? What did you call me for?”
>Principal Celestia clears her throat.
>”We wish to discuss with you Superintendent Discord’s invitation to the tournament that will take place next week against other schools right?”
“Yes, and I guess I’ll be the captain, no one was really excited for the tournament though.”
>”Don’t mind them…it’s nothing a little motivation can’t fix. I talked with Pinkie Pie in the hallway earlier and she’s now the current cheerleader of our team.”
>You hear an explosion nearby.
>That must’ve been her party cannon.
“Well, that’ll get them motivated for sure…however I don’t think we’ve got enough time to train, I mean, one friggin week? How am I supposed to form a good team in such short notice?”
>Both Principal Celestia and her sister look at each other.
>”We believe in you, and I think I know the way to motivate you to work twice as hard!” Principal Celestia says.
>Work twice as hard? You don’t even do your homework!
>”Rainbow Dash, you are a very special student, this box says so…not only you are the most gifted athlete in our high school.” Vice Principal Luna says.
>Principal Celestia opens the box.
>”You’re one of the most troublesome students as well…”
>She grabs a folder full of reports.
>”This is your permanent school record…it has everything you’ve done in the past,” she says before clearing her throat, “wow, would you look at that…a neat suspension! Flooding the junior high school you attended to and causing several damage to it.”
>Oh crud…
“It was just a prank sis!”
>”Another one, you caught cheating in math,” Vice Principal Luna says.
“Hey, that’s not my fault. Ms. Cheerilee just doesn’t know how to teach well.”
>”Altering grades is a serious offense Rainbow Dash, you didn’t think we were going to notice?”
“Uhh…”
>”Fighting not against one, but three students?! Oh my goodness…”
“Hey, Dumbbell and his gang deserved it! They were picking on Fluttershy back when we both attended Cloudsdale Jr. High!”
>”And-“
“Alright alright! I get it! I’m a terrible human being, what are you gonna do about it? Sue me?!”
>”No…we want you to win the tournament,” Principal Celestia says.
“…Huh?”
>”With a record like this you can completely forget about attending a decent college! However…we’d like to -ehem- motivate you to give your 110%.” Vice Principal Luna says.
“Go on…”
>”As you have seen, our school is going through real hard times. Our grades are falling because we can’t provide our students with updated learning material, our computers are still running Windoors XD, our cafeteria has grade F meat and our furniture is quite old…”
>Just as Principal Celestia finishes saying that, a leg of her desk breaks and the heavy box finishes the job by landing on Vice Principal Luna’s foot.
>”AAAAAAAAHHH!” She yells.
>”See?! We’re counting on you Rainbow Dash…so, about this little box, if you form a winning team and win the tournament some of these papers might end up getting lost forever and you’ll enter a good university, perhaps an Ivy League one, what do you say?”
“Isn’t that…like, illegal or something?”
>”Well, perhaps you really don’t care about your future, I hope you don’t mind being stuck in an awful job for the rest of your life…” Vice Principal Luna says, “add this to the list sister: ‘lack of cooperation’ and-.”
“Alright alright sheesh, I’ll do it…”
>”Excellent! We’re counting on you Rainbow Dash…remember, the competition will be-”
“Next Saturday, got it!”

>https://youtu.be/dDLGeYjbrWw
>Classes have ended for the day.
>You and your friends are hanging out near the school’s statue.
>”Gee Dashie, how are you gonna form a team good enough to compete at Crystal Prep Academy?” Pinkie Pie asks, “a week just isn’t enough!”
>You sigh.
“I don’t really know Pinkie…how was your ‘motivation session’?”
>”It went great I think?”
“What do you mean?”
>”Yeah, everyone said they support you. But I don’t think they mentioned something about being a part of the team.”
“So girls…I really have to think this through, say…Applejack, do you want to-”
>”Of course I want to be in your team sugarcube, I’m down to help in any way I want.”
“Heck yeah, you being the second best athlete in Canterlot High…it’s only natural you want to participate”
>Applejack squints.
>”I want to participate as well,” Sunset Shimmer adds, “what do you think Rainbow Dash, do I have potential?”
“Of course you do Sunset! Well, we are off to a great start!”
>”Maybe you should host some tryouts. So we can see which students will be up to the challenge!” Twilight adds, “oh this will be so much fun!”
>She takes a chronometer and a calculator out of her backpack.
>”I’ll take multiple stats of each student and then pick the best using advanced math and statistics!”
“Yeah, you do that Twi, however…it’s not always about stats, but heart. And what about the rest of you guys?”
>”O-oh my, I-I’m not sure Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy says, stuttering as usual, “you know how I get in such events.”
“Yeah, true…Pinkie Pie?”
>”I’ll be the one cheering the team up Dashie, and Fluttershy will join me, isn’t that right Shy?”
>”Ummm…what?”
“Well then, how about you Rares?”
>”And get sweaty and dirty? Heavens no dearie!” Rarity says while crossing her arms.
“Well then, how about you design our uniforms then? It really would be embarrassing to be seen in our regular outfits while the others schools have professional equipment, especially Crystal Prep Academy.”
>Rarity’s face glows with happiness.
>”I’m already ahead of you Rainbow Dash!” She says, quickly placing a notebook in front of your face filled with uniform and swimsuit doodles for both male and female players.
“Wow…these designs are great! When did you do draw these Rares?”
>”In Mr. Cranky Doodle’s class, he really doesn’t care if students pay attention or not.”
“Perhaps Principal Celestia was right. This school is a TLC.”
>”Is a TLC? Perhaps you meant that it needs TLC, as in tender, love and care?” Applejack says.
“No, I meant that because it’s a totally lost cause…why are we even doing this?”
>You spot Principal Celestia, standing inside her office near the window; you watch her getting a paper in your permanent record while squinting at you.
>You gulp.
>”Rainbow Dash?”
>You raise your head a bit.
“Flash Sentry, what’s up?”
>”I was just wondering if you needed another player,” he awkwardly says.
>He tends to be like that when Twilight is around.
“YES! Oh, I mean…yeah, sure. We have four girls already, we need six more girls and now with you in the team we’ll need nine more boys.”
>”A-awesome! My buddies and I will be glad to help.”
>Flash Sentry, Brawly Beats and Ringo huh? Neat!
>”I insist we should conduct some tryouts,” Twilight suggests.
“Relax Twilight, if they want to join the team then they’re already in! Who else should be in the team?”
>You spot the newbie coming out the school’s front door, listening to music as always AND reading a book as well.
>Your friends look at you.
“Ugh…fine. ANON!”
>He takes off an earbud, looking quite confused.
“Get over here!”
>”Me?” He says.
“Are there other Anons around?!”
>”Anon? Are you sure about this Rainbow Dash?” Flash Sentry asks, feeling quite skeptical.
“I have no idea…”

>You are now Anon.
>Rainbow wants to talk to you again.
>She looks quite mad.
>Oh no…
>You can only hope she’s not mad at you because you hit her in the face earlier.
>You can picture it now…
>Perhaps she asked that Flash Sentry guy and his friends to show you a lesson.
”W-what is it?”
>”Anon, we need you in our team.”
>…what?
“Excuse me?”
>http://picosong.com/w3qcA/
>Flash Sentry and his friends look baffled.
>But the girls look supportive.
>”Him?” Brawly Beats asks.
>”Yes him, listen up Anon…I-I’m kind of in a hurry, I need to find players for the upcoming eliminatory rounds, and I believe you’d be a great addition to our team.”
“Me? Why me?”
>Rainbow Dash looks away.
>”Well…you know, because-“
>”-You totally beat her in soccer!” Pinkie Pie says much to Rainbow’s dismay, “how could you forget Nonny? You were there after all.”
>”Pinkie!” Rainbow scolds feeling somewhat annoyed.
>”Whoa…are you serious?” Ringo asks.
>”Yep! 3-0! Nonny pulled some serious pro moves! He’s not as fast as Rainbow but he’s quite talented!”
>You let out an awkward chuckle.
>”That’s impossible!” Flash Sentry says, “Rainbow losing at the thing she excels at?!”
>”Alright alright! We get it! Anon got lucky, I wasn’t playing well…whatever! Are you gonna join us or not?” Rainbow Dash says.
“No.”
>”HUH?!”

>http://picosong.com/w3q9z/
“Listen…sports aren’t really my thing,” you try to say in the most polite way possible,  “I was just average at soccer and that was it, only because my parents forced me to join the soccer team back in Jr. High.”
>”B-but Nonny! What about-”
“-I got somewhat good at it, however I couldn’t keep up with my former team’s skills and my teammates hated me. I’m sorry, I don’t want to take part on this. I’d be a dead weight just like I was to my former team.”
>Rainbow Dash looks upset.
>”W-well then, we don’t need you! No wonder your team lost everytime with such a useless and whiny player like yourself.”
>Ouch…
>Her friends gasp at Rainbow’s cruel comment.
>”RAINBOW DASH!”
>Huh?
>”What’s the matter with you?!” Rarity scolds, “didn’t you hear how poor Anonymous had to deal with total jerks? It’s obvious he tried his best and they always downplayed him!”
>”So what? It’s obvious he isn’t-“ Rainbow tries to say, before being interrupted by Rarity again.
>”You did witness how great he was at soccer, didn’t you? Because he won fair and square against the so-called best athlete of Canterlot High!”
“R-Rarity…”
>Rainbow Dash looks away, still looking somewhat disappointed at you.
>”If I say so myself, I’d say Anon here might be the key to our success…he’s nothing but potential.”
>She believes you can mark a difference! No one has ever had faith in you before.
>”Eeeyup!” Applejack says, “the way Anon slid to prevent Rainbow scoring a goal? Hoo boy! It was so exciting!”
>”Of course! Like…that chip, Wowie! He looked like he could fly!” Pinkie Pie adds.
>”Anon, you might not know this but…no one has ever defeated Rainbow Dash at a 1v1 Soccer match before!” Sunset Shimmer adds, “if you were in our team you’d be everything but a burden!”
>These girls…are they for real?

>Rarity walks slowly towards you.
>http://picosong.com/w3qLW/
>”Anon darling, I don’t know what sort of bad experiences you had back in Jr. High… however we’d love to have you around to help our team win the first place next Saturday.”
“Well…”
>”You might not know it yourself, but we believe you would do marvelous things for our team…wouldn’t you reconsider your decision?” She says, batting those pretty eyelashes of her.
>The other girls nod their heads, except for Rainbow Dash, she only rolls her eyes.
“Alright, I’ll do my best Rarity!”
>”WOOHOO!” Pinkie Pie yells, “we’re SOOOO gonna win this event!”
>”I know you will dearie. Now…Rainbow Dash?” Rarity says while turning her head around her shoulder.
>”What do you want?” Rainbow Dash says.
>”I do believe you owe Anon an apology…”
>”Aww what?!”
>Rarity squints at her.
>Rainbow Dash sighs.
>”Alright alright…look, I’m sorry okay?”
>”That wasn’t a sincere apology!” Rarity says.
>”Well what do you want me to do?! Kiss him?”
>That wouldn’t be so bad actually…you think to yourself.
>Rainbow Dash gives you another look, then sighs.
>”I-I’m sorry Anon…I’m very stressed, I never asked for this anyways.”
“It’s okay Rainbow, you didn’t mean it did you?”
>”Nah, I gotta admit, I kind of hoped you said yes at the first time. I got angry when you said no because I thought we were gonna lose if I didn’t find another good player like yourself…”
>So she does believe you’re quite talented as well huh? Neat!
>”Well then, I still have to find more players…I’ll need you here tomorrow at 6:00 A.M. so we can start training okay?”
“Very well then! See ya tomorrow!”
>You leave the school premises, looking forward to give your 110%
>If a girl as pretty as Rarity actually believes in you and how you can make a difference, you won’t let her down!

>”How did you manage to convince Anon to join the team?” Rainbow Dash asks Rarity.
>She lets out a giggle.
>”You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar darling…”

>https://youtu.be/NroHYIKJKMw
>You wake up after having a nice dream, involving you and the team winning the qualifiers.
>With Rarity giving you a kiss to congratulate you.
>You let out a sigh.
>It felt so real.
>You take a look at your alarm clock.
>5:00 A.M.
>However, you can’t believe how early you have to get up.
>6 A.M?  Is Rainbow crazy? Why can’t you and the rest of the team train after classes are over?
>Well then, let’s get this over with.
>Firstly, your morning routine, go to the bathroom, take a dump and then take a shower.
>When that’s done you take a look at yourself in the mirror.
>Well…you haven’t done this in a while, you think to yourself as you grab a razor.
>You shave off your shitty beard that you have let grown since you entered high school.
>Perhaps Rarity will like you more if you start taking better care of your looks.
>You put on a tracksuit and stuff a change of clothes in your gym bag and then you grab your backpack as well.
>It’s been a while since you’ve done this…
>You hope to be not so out-of-shape.
>You get out of your room and walk down the stairs slowly to not disturb your parents’ slumber.
>You have a light breakfast and before you leave for school you pet your dog.
>As you take a look at your watch which tells you that you have only ten minutes left to meet the others, you lock the front door of your house with your keys and get going.
>The sun starts to come out of the horizon.
>Yeah, it looks like it’s gonna be a good day.

>5:55 A.M.
>You’ve arrived to school, two hours earlier than usual.
>At least you’re well rested.
>You spot Rainbow Dash near the soccer pitch’s bleachers, hanging onto her feet upside down from a pipe doing crunches.
>”205…206.”
>Wow…
>As soon as she spots you she waves at you.
>”Hi Anon! You’re early…”
“Hey Rainbow,” you say, still amazed at the complex way Rainbow trains.
>”Don’t mind me, I’m still warming up…you should do the same as well.”
“Gotcha.”
>You follow her advice and start stretching your body just like when you used to do back in Jr. High.
>Jeez, Rainbow Dash sure does not joke around when it comes to exercising.
>”221…222.”
>You wonder what kind of training she’s up to.
>Sunset Shimmer, Applejack and her big brother Big Macintosh arrive to the pitch, and they wave at you as soon as they see you stretching.
>”Howdy y’all…” Applejack says, followed by Sunset Shimmer who only says, ”Hi!”
“Heya!”
>”It sure is cold today huh?” Sunset Shimmer says while rubbing her arms with her hands.
>”It is, don’t worry sugarcube, you won’t feel cold once we start training, Rainbow Dash?”
>“Yeah?”
>”When are the others gonna show up?” Applejack asks.
>”They should be here any moment now.”

>7:04 A.M.
>The last players, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk, arrive to school.
>”About time you two!” Rainbow Dash says; “you’re both an hour late!”
>”Whoopsie, sorry…I like, totally overslept,” Sonata apologizes.
>Aria rolls her eyes.
>”Well, you and everyone else! Apart from Sunset, AJ and myself…like, if I tell you to come here by 6 AM, you’re supposed to be here! Heck, even the newbie got here first!”
>You take a look at the team.
>Guys: Flash Sentry, Ringo, Brawly Beats, Big Macintosh, Bulk Biceps, Sandal Wood, Curly Winds, Heath Burns, and of course…yourself.
>Girls: Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Cloudy Kicks, Tennis Match, Trixie Lulamoon, Lyra Heartstrings, Sweetie Drops, Derpy, Sonata and Aria.
>”Wait a minute…there’s only nine of us guys here. Where’s the tenth one?” Flash sentry asks.
>”The tenth one?” Rainbow ponders, ”oh right…”
>”Wait! WAIT FOR ME!”
>”-HIM!” Rainbow Dash says feeling quite annoyed.
>https://youtu.be/D5O_W8yDig4
>A weird looking guy sporting a man bun runs towards your location
”Who’s that?” You ask Sunset Shimmer.
>”That’s Fluttershy’s little brother Zephyr Breeze…Rainbow Dash doesn’t like him very much.”
“Really now? How come?”
>”You’ll see why very soon…” She says while squinting at the guy just as she crosses her arms.
>”Heeeya Rainbow Dash, you guys haven’t started yet?”
>“We were waiting for all of you to show up, you’re late…as always.”
>”You can’t rush perfection sweetie…I’m already here anyways.”
>”Yeah, thanks to you we missed an hour of training already! Everyone thank Zephyr Breeze for that!”
>”Boooo!” Everyone but you says at the same time heard.
”If she doesn’t like him at all, why is he on the team?” You whisper to Sunset Shimmer.
>She giggles.
>”He begged Fluttershy to let Rainbow Dash accept him into the team…”
“Oh…”
>Well, there goes your morning.

>”Well then, since we don’t have enough TIME,” Rainbow Dash says while leering at a very uncomfortable Zephyr Breeze, “we’ll focus on two of the four events…cross county and relay race.”
>”Uhh…we don’t have a track where we can run,” Ringo says, “nor a swimming pool for us to swim.”
>”But we have a sidewalk, so everyone will have to run five laps around our school, I’ll keep track of the time you make on the way back here for each lap to see who’s the fastest and the slowest. As for the swimming pool…I guess we’ll have to use the public swimming pool that’s near downtown.”
>”Awww…that place sucks! Kids pee inside the pool!” Trixie says.
>”Well, you got any other idea genius?” Rainbow Dash says.
>”…Crystal Prep Academy has a swimming pool, perhaps we can ask Principal Cadance to-“ Derpy suggest before getting interrupted by Rainbow Dash.
>”Heck no!” She yells, “we are not gonna bend over to those snobs! It’s the public swimming pool or nothing.”
>Everyone sighs and moans.
>”Oh shush you…alright, form a line along the sidewalk and when I blow on this whistle you start to run understood?”
>Everyone nods.
>http://picosong.com/w3ZQm/
>Rainbow Dash blows her whistle immediately, catching all of you off-guard.
>”Wh-what?” Flash Sentry says.
>”GO! COME ON!”
>Everyone starts to run, Trixie bumps onto Derpy and Sonata bumps onto you.
>”Ugh…this is gonna be hard,” Rainbow Dash says to herself.
>Zephyr Breeze stays behind, running into place next to Rainbow Dash.
>”What the-?!”
>”So…I’m gonna show you what this MAN is made of! If I end up winning this event will you go out with me this-”
>”GET MOVING!”
>”Y-yes Ma’am.”

>Minutes later.
>http://picosong.com/w3Zzv/
>”Good job everybody minus one…I got all your times written down. It’s a mixed bag seriously, but I think we can lower these times by the end of the week.”
>Most teens present groan.
>”Can we take a break now?” Sonata asks.
>”Hold on, we are not done yet. I’m starting to notice a pattern within the numbers, I’ll be sure to give Twilight this time sheet and see which ones of you are gonna make it for the Relay Race event since it’s about speed and which ones are gonna run in cross county since it’s about endurance.”
>Phew…your heart is beating so fast.
>You really outdid yourself out here.
>However, you were known as the slowest one on your team…
>”Anon was the fastest of all, congratulations dude! You’re on the Relay Race team.”
>Everybody cheers for you, except for Zephyr Breeze, he only rolls his eyes.
>”So…which team will I be on Dashie?” Zephyr Breeze asks.
>”Zephyr…you fainted in the fourth lap! You’re not gonna be in any of those teams!”
>”W-wait Dash! I know I know…I’m not the greatest athlete, however I’m great at swimming! I’ll show you my skills later today okay?”
>”Ugh…Fine! Well then, you did great I think, however! The running track on Crystal Prep Academy is way larger than the sidewalks around our school so…you gotta be faster.” 
>”AAAAUGH!” Most of the team complains.
>”I think The Great and Powerful Trixie is gonna pass out…” Trixie says.
>Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes.
>”You all knew what you signed up for…the only way from now on is forwards!”

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ
>You look at your teammates.
>They seem…tired.
>”Ugh…I think I’m gonna barf,” Sweetie Drops says.
>Bulk Biceps sits down and rubs his tiny legs. 
>If you all make it through the qualifiers you can only hope there’s a weightlifting event in the near future because he would win it for sure.
>Big Mac looks tired as well.
>”You too Mac? Seriously?” Rainbow Dash nags.
>”He takes things easy Rainbow Dash…you know that,” Applejack steps in to defend her brother.
>”Can we have breakfast now Rainbow Dash?” Derpy says, taking a muffin out of her backpack.
>”Urp!” Sweetie Drops covers her mouth with one hand to prevent her from vomiting all over Derpy’s muffin.
>Derpy looks at Sweetie Drops and tears her muffin in a half to share it with her.
>”Want some?”
>Sweetie Drops runs away from Derpy, looking for the nearest bush to…oh that’s just nasty.
>”Ugh…this is totally lame! Seriously folks? Do you expect to beat Crystal Prep Academy and those other two high schools with THAT performance?!” Rainbow Dash scolds, “like; is that the best you can do?”
>”We’re really tryin’ Rainbow Dash…” Applejack says in a defensive manner, “it’s a shame we don’t have a proper track to train on, all we got is the soccer pitch.”
>”Yeah…you’re right. I wonder why our school doesn’t get enough funds like the other schools. I mean, why do those fancy snobs at CPA have tons of things we can’t even afford?”
>”Well, Crystal Prep Academy is a private institution and ours is a public one…for starters,” Sunset Shimmer says, “like, we don’t even pay an expensive admittance fee like they do.”
>”Psshh…yeah right. I feel like Principal Celestia is just being a big and fat cheapskate, emphasis on the fat,” she says with a wink.
>You all gasp.
“Uhh…Rainbow Dash?”
>”And she’s behind me right now isn’t she…?”
>You all nod.
>Principal Celestia clears her throat.
>”Rats…”

>”Ehehe, P-Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna…what are you doing here so early?”
>You can see how annoyed Principal Celestia looks at Rainbow Dash.
>Vice Principal Luna however, lets out a giggle.
>”So, this is the team you formed right Rainbow Dash?” Luna says.
>”Y-yes ma’am. These were the only volunteers…and we just finished training for the first time.”
>”I…see.”
>Luna takes a look at the team and when she notices you she whispers something to Rainbow Dash.
>(”Yeah…he’s new.”)
>(”He doesn’t seem tired…”)
>Rainbow Dash shows Luna the chart.
>”…Impressive! You!”
“Huh?”
>”What is your name?”
“Uhh…A-Anonymous.”
>”Keep up the good work! And to the rest of you!” She says while addressing the rest of the team.
>They all look at Vice Principal Luna.
>”Your efforts will not go unrewarded, however…we need you to WIN!”
>”Hmm…” Zephyr Breeze ponders, “what’s in for us?”
>Vice Principal Luna takes a look at the chart.
>”I’m sorry Zephyr Breeze, I’m afraid you’re not fit to participate with the rest of the team.” Vice Principal Luna says.
>”Aww what?”
>”Yes!” Rainbow Dash pumps her fist in the air.
>Principal Celestia squints and takes a look at him, then at Rainbow Dash.
>http://picosong.com/wnV6s/
>She puts on a shit-eating grin.
>”However…you look like you need special intensive training. So I’ll assign Rainbow Dash to be your personal coach!”
>”What?!” Both Vice Principal Luna and Rainbow Dash say.
>”YES! I-I mean, yeah…I need some training alright, to be on top of my game once Saturday arrives,” Zephyr Breeze, “with Rainbow Dash by my side I’ll get hard as a rock…if you know what I mean.”
>”Eugh…” Sunset Shimmer says.
>What did he mean by this?
>”C-come on Principal Celestia, I’m already busy training the rest of the team!”
>”Sister, I don’t believe Zephyr Breeze will be able to progress in less than a week, look at the chart once again!”
>”Nonsense! All I see is a student that needs to be motivated. Zephyr Breeze didn’t join the team for nothing, he did it to win the contest isn’t that right?”
>”Ugh…fine.”
>”Very well boys and girls, train as hard as you can!” Principal Celestia says, “goooo Wondercolts!”
>”…”
>Big Mac coughs.
>”Ugh…I hope Pinkie Pie gets here as soon as possible to cheer your indifferent faces, let’s go Luna.”
>”Good luck everybody,” Vice Principal Luna says and then winks.
>”Don’t worry about us!” Zephyr Breeze says, waiting for the sisters to enter the high school’s building.
>Once they are inside Zephyr Breeze approaches Rainbow Dash.
>”So…about that special training.”
>Rainbow Dash looks miserable.
>Poor girl.

>Hours have passed.
>And now it’s lunch time.
>Your teammates look fully recovered now.
>As Rarity suggested, you all sat on the same table to share your thoughts about the upcoming qualifiers, mostly to know and encourage each other.
>This is the very first time you’ve spoken with this many people ever since you got transferred into this school.
>And you’re doing great.
>These are your impressions so far.
>Big Mac, he totally was dragged to the event by Applejack. Cool guy, doesn’t talk much.
>Bulk Biceps, you wish he wasn’t that loud.
>Your ears still ring from the last time he yelled YEAH! And that was like, four hours ago.
>Sandal Wood has done nothing but bore you to death with his bullshit talk about how consumerism leads to global warming.
>Curly Winds can’t stop texting his buddy Wiz Kid.
>And Heath Burns is just sitting there, listening to all of you.
>You wonder what product he uses to keep his hair like that, it’s unnerving.
>They look like they don’t like attract much attention to themselves, so they’re just like you.
>Flash Sentry and his buddies, they’re okay in your books. Flash looks to be the leader of said gang, however…you can tell he really wishes he wasn’t here right now, and not only by the button he pinned on his jacket stating that fact, but you’ve got a hunch that he must be doing it for somebody else, just like Zephyr Breeze.
>As for the girls.
>Applejack, she looks like the closest friend Rainbow Dash has, they seem to be competitive between each other.
>Really, those two are the best members of the team.
>Along with Sunset Shimmer it looks like Canterlot High has an actual chance.
>Trixie is the funniest of them all.
>Boastful, arrogant, self-centered, yet she manages to be cute and clumsy.
>Yeah, you like her a lot.
>Cloudy Kicks and Tennis Match, not much to say about them, they seem to be like Curly and Heath.
>Derpy, aww…she’s just as cute as a button, that innocent smile itself could stop wars.
>Lyra and Sweetie Drops, yeah…you know what’s going on already.
>They look very tough!
>It’s better not mess with them.
>Sonata and Aria.
>Aria is just a grump and she tends to fight a lot with Sonata.
>Sonata doesn’t mind her insults, instead she loves to tease Aria a lot.
>You can picture Aria beating the crap out of the player that dares to hurt Sonata.
>”So Anon…why don’t you tell us more about yourself!” Sonata says.
“Uhhh…”
>”Yeah dude, we don’t know you very well. You barely speak…” Flash Sentry adds, “how come?”
>Welp, this is it.
>You better not embarrass yourself by saying something dumb.
“Yeah, sorry about that. People weren’t exactly friendly to me back in Jr. High with a very few exceptions of course. So I kinda uh, tried to keep a low profile.”
>”Really now?” Applejack adds, “well where did you attend Jr. High sugarcube?”
“Uhh, I attended Seacrest County’s Jr. High.”
>Everyone gasps.
>”No way, you went THERE?” Rainbow Dash says, looking quite shocked.
“Yeah…?”
>”That explains a lot actually, the people in that place are the worst…no offense dude,” she adds.
>”They take everything seriously…” Lyra says, “very tough, competitive and overall bad sports, every level, from Elementary to College, they are like that.”
>”Yeah!” Everyone complains.
“You’ve played against them?”
>”Both Fluttershy and I played volleyball against one of their teams back when we attended Cloudsdale Elementary; isn’t that right Fluttershy?”
>”Yes, they were quite the big meanies, we were instantly eliminated by them and they mocked us when we lost, I-I cried a lot that day…” Fluttershy says.
>”Big Macintosh got his kneecap kicked in while representin’ Appleloosa elementary in that karate tournament by one of those Seacrest varmints…” Applejack says.
>”Eeeyup…” Big Mac says, looking quite sad.
>”That’s not everything, I’ve heard rumors of them cheating as well, especially if the other team is good. Take CPA for example…they were about to beat Seacrest County High on basketball last tournament, and those meanies started to play in a very unsportsmanlike way.” Tennis Match adds.
>”Phew…am I glad we aren’t facing them right off the bat on this tournament.” Derpy says.
“Yep, totally sounds like them...I was a part of their soccer team, however I wasn’t very good like them, and I didn’t feel like diving in the grass every time the other team tried to get the ball from me or doing dirty tackles or slides.”
>”Good!” Rainbow Dash says, “as much as I hate losing I’d hate it more if I won by cheating!’
>Everyone agrees.
>Phew, so far so good.
“As I said, there were a few exceptions, some of them also like the things I enjoy so I got to hung out with them, the soccer team, jocks and cheerleaders however…”
>[“HAHAHA look at that loser! I bet he’ll lose the ball any second now.”]
>[“How come you’re so quiet Anon? You need to talk more?”]
>[“Jeez Anon, why do you say weird things all the time? No wonder nobody likes to talk to you.”]
>[“Good job idiot, you blew it again…”]
>You let out a deep sigh and place both of your palms over your face.
”Sorry, I spaced out for a bit…so, my dad got a better job in Canterlot and we moved here just as the new school term was about to start. I’m still trying to get past that stage of my life, however; everytime I try to talk to anybody here I recall my Jr. High days and tend to make people feel uncomfortable.”
>”Oh darling, you don’t have to worry about that anymore, here in Canterlot we are very friendly! Isn’t that right boys and girls?” Rarity says while rubbing your shoulders to motivate you and reassure you have nothing to worry about.
>”Yeah! Welcome Nonny! I can call Nonny right? I didn’t even ask first.” Pinkie Pie says
“Y-yeah, I like it…“
“Awesome! I would’ve totally made a ‘welcoming’ party for you…but you just like, have the power to vanish.”
>Everyone laughs.
>You let out a chuckle.
“Yeah, sorry about that.”

>The team keeps talking to get to know each other.
>So far, you don’t think your team can stand a chance against the likes of Crystal Prep or the other high schools, no one here seems to practice sports as much as you used to.
>However, you plan to give your 110%.
>You take another look at Rarity.
>Wow, such a gorgeous girl as her believes in you.
>Make that a 120%
>”Ehem…” someone clears their throat.
>You all turn around and find Principal Celestia standing near the table.
>”Hi there boys and girls, planning your tactics already?”
>”Actually, we were getting to know each other better Principal Celestia,“ Rarity says, “I believe that’ll help us click as a team!”
>”That’s great!” Principal Celestia says, “I’m glad you’re taking this seriously y’all, I’m so proud of you!”
>Principal Celestia fidgets with some papers.
>”I received an e-mail from Superintendent Discord earlier,” she says, “apart from facing Crystal Prep High we’re gonna face Croix Bleue High School…”
>”Croix Bleue’s Speedy Hares?” Rainbow Dash says, “well…this is gonna be fun.”
>You’ve never heard of them.
“Really now, how come?”
>”They’re a pretty good team, however luck is never on their side. They tend to ‘choke’ in the last minutes of the match, well…at least their soccer team does that, not sure about the team they’ve formed for whatever-this-competition-thingy-is.” Rainbow Dash says while crossing their arms.
>They sound easy enough for Seacrest’s Hawks.
>You look at your teammates.
>Hmmm…
>Perhaps not so much for Canterlot’s Wondercolts.

>”Well then, who else are we facing off against?”
>”Ah, Pleasantview High School’s Llamas…”
>”The Llamas? I thought they were a college team,” Twilight Sparkle asks.
>”No, those are Bridgeport’s University’s Llamas. Pleasantview’s High School is owned by that University, their best students get a scholarship for that university.”
>”Yeah…but, who’d like to enroll in a university whose mascot are stinky llamas?” Flash Sentry says, “don’t make me laugh.”
>Almost everyone chuckles.
>”I-I like llamas…” Derpy says.
>”So do I,” Twilight Sparkle says, “their college has state of the art technology…I wouldn’t mind a scholarship for that university.”
>Flash Sentry wasn’t expecting that.
>”Y-yeah! I totally knew that! And they’re awesome!”
>”Ugh…” Twilight rolls her eyes.
>Sheesh, Flash looks like he wants to bury his head in the dirt right now.
>”I hope you all do your best to defeat those three teams. I’m counting on you! No pressure!”
>Celestia turns around, then she turns her head over her shoulder.
>”But seriously…win.”
>Then she leaves.
>”Hooo boy! This is totally not good,” Tennis Match says.
”Hmm? What do you mean?”
>”That High School has a very tough player, her name is Sandy Prattle…she’s easily one of the best athletes.”
>”Ain’t no match for Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie Pie says while lifting Rainbow’s arm, “isn’t that right Dashie?”
>”Actually Pinkie, Tennis Match is right…she’s very tough,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Not to mention hot!” Brawly Beats says as he passes around his phone with a picture of her he found online on Lifeinvader.
>”Eeeeyup!” Big Mac excitedly says before Applejack punches his arm.
>Sandal Wood lets out a whistle.
>”Meh…” Curly Winds says.
>”I wouldn’t mind losing to her to be honest,” Heath Burns smiles and lifts his eyebrows.
>You look at her picture.
>Damn son! She’s beautiful!
>Rarity coughs up a bit and snatches Brawly Beat’s phone from his hand.

>”Anyways…” Rarity says as she turns off Brawly Beat’s phone looking visibly annoyed, “we shouldn’t be worried at all. Let’s take this as a chance to get back at Crystal Prep and to show those fancy schools who’s boss!”
>http://picosong.com/wFU5Z/
>”YEEAAAAAH!” Bulk Biceps yells.
>”Pfft…Sandy Prattle, Sour Sweet, big deal; all we have to win is right here!” Rarity says with her arms wide to inspire you all.
>”Yeah…Rarity’s right! We can do this people! With or without Zephyr Breeze!” Heath Burns says.
>”YEAH!” Everybody says at the same time.
>”Heeey!” Zephyr Breeze replies, feeling offended.
>Holy smokes, you don’t know why.
>You kind of want be take part of this even more.
>”COME ON EVERYBODY! SAY IT WITH ME: GOOOO WONDERCOLTS!” Pinkie Pie says.
>Everybody follows Pinkie Pie’s order.
”So! What’s next?”

>Classes have ended for the day.
>You all are at the public pool.
>Rarity provided you all with appropriate swimming gear.
>It’s even school themed!
“Wow, Rarity’s quite talented isn’t she?”
>”Yep, how are your swimming trunks Anon?” Sunset Shimmer replies.
“Bit tight around the crotch but, everything else is okay.”
>”I’m so sorry darling, if you hadn’t left home yesterday so early I would’ve been able to take your measures.” Rarity says.
“Whoops…sorry, I didn’t know you’d actually have uniforms ready for today.”
>”It’s okay dearie,” Rarity says, “I haven’t worked on them yet, I only began to work on the swimsuits.”
”How much did Principal Celestia contribute for these anyways?”
>”It’s on my tab dear Anon! Our school is currently running low on cash.”
“Lame, no wonder Principal Celestia wants us to win…”
>”Yeah yeah…” Rainbow Dash says while stretching her slim and well-toned body, “okay people. Let’s do this. I want you all to reach the end of that swimming pool and then turn around, then keep swimming over here 5 times okay?!”
>”Like, what about the people inside the pool?” Sonata says.
>”Think of them as buoys, or sharks or walruses! You gotta dodge them”
>”HEY!” An angry fat lady floating on an inflatable raft yells at Rainbow Dash, ”who you callin’ walrus Miss anorexia?!”
>Rainbow Dash ignores her comment.
>”How about a big walrus floating on a buoy?” Zephyr Breeze whispers.
>A few chuckles are heard.
>Even Rainbow Dash wanted to laugh at Zephyr’s joke but then stopped herself from doing so.

>”Well then, lemme show you all how it’s done!” Rainbow Dash says, as she drops the towel revealing her beautiful figure, not without Fluttershy covering Zephyr Breeze’s eyes first.
>”Aww sis!”
>”Oh brother, you promised…” Fluttershy says.
>Rainbow Dash jumps on the pool and swims quite fast from one end of the pool to the other.
>”Whoa…” Flash Sentry says, “that’s fast!”
>She’s gonna swim in different styles for each lap.
>Front Crawl for the first lap, then Backstroke, Butterfly, Breaststroke and Side Stroke.
>”Maaan, she’s amazing!” Ringo says.
>”I know…she’s literally perfect,” Zephyr Breeze says.
>Rainbow Dash emerges from the pool.
>”Phew…how did I do Twilight?”
>”A brand new record Rainbow!” Twilight says, showing Dash a chronometer on her phone.
>”Awesome! Heh, perhaps I should play through this competition myself,” Rainbow brags.
“Heh…”
>”That’s Rainbow for ya,” Sunset Shimmer says with a smile on her face.
>”Anyways people, us captains received the rules of the competition a few hours ago, so!” Rainbow Dash says while rinsing her body, “the swimming event will need five players and five for the high dive event.”
“Why five?”
>”A swimmer for each lap newbie…the best of you will be part of the swimming team, all you have to do is swim in the pool, Twilight here will take your times!”
>Twilight smiles and looks at a list.
>”Very well then, uhhh…Derpy?”
>”Yes?” Derpy asks.
>”Do you want to go first so I can test you?”
>”A test?! I didn’t even study! I’m gonna fail!”
>Derpy lets out a yell and Aria shuts her up.
>”It’s not a that kind of test moron! Just get in the pool and swim!”
>”Oh…okay!”
>Rainbow Dash lets out a sigh.
>Derpy runs towards the pool.
>”EEEK!”
>Derpy didn’t realize the floor near the pool was slippery, sadly she slipped and fell on her rump.
>”Oww…owie, don’t worry about me, I’m fine!”
>Rainbow Dash shakes her head and writes Derpy’s name off the chart.
>”Remember…ALL of us need to participate, otherwise we’ll get points deducted! So Derpy…you’ll be in the cross-county team.”
>”Woo!” She happily replies while rubbing her butt to alleviate the pain.
>”Umm…Big Mac? Your turn.”
>”Eeeeyup.”
>Big Mac doesn’t hesitate and quickly jumps into the pool.

>Some time later.
>Big Mac emerges from the pool, fixing his wet hair which makes the girls let out a sigh, except for Applejack of course.
>”Good job bro,” she says as she hands him a towel.
>”Wow…that was an impressive time Mac, who wants to go next?” Twilight asks.
>Zephyr Breeze raises his hand.
>”…Anyone else?”
>"Come on, I got a couple of moves to show off," he says with a smug printed on his face.
>"Sure you do... alright, get it over with," Rainbow Dash says while rolling her eyes.
>”YAAAY!” He says as he emerges from the back of the group.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DMss8Te5xE
>Zephyr Breeze performs some incredibly eccentric and not exactly helpful stretching exercises.
>Rainbow Dash can't help but become annoyed by how much time he's wasting, looking at Twilight’s clock.
>”Whad’ya think Rainbow?” He says, trying to show off his looks to a very flustered and annoyed Rainbow Dash.
>"Get on with it, Zephyr!"
>”Fine, fine!” After one final pose, an unusually confident Zephyr Breeze steps forward.
>"Alright, everyone, prepare to be dazzled by my own art."
>Sonata and Aria lift an eyebrow each.
>No one knows what he's even talking about.
>He runs towards the pool’s diving board and performs a dive with a surprising amount of grace for a man who normally; and still sort of does, look silly.
>Upon hitting the water, he soon arises from the depths... only to not start swimming.
>In fact, it looks as though he's performing water aerobics.
>You and your teammates are confused by his actions while Rainbow Dash's patience continues to be tested.
>"Hey! You're supposed to be swimming, not dancing in the pool!"
>"Come on Rainbow Dash…don't tell me you're not amazed by my body workouts. Besides, swimming is soooo hard."
>Clearly, Rainbow Dash has had enough of Zephyr Breeze's actions
>"Okay, that's it! Get out of the pool!"
>”But I'm not done with-"
>"Don't make me come in there!"
>"Aw, you want to take a swim with me? How sweet of you."
>A sonorous war cry is heard as Rainbow Dash jumps into the pool.
>"N-no! Get away!"
>Zephyr Breeze panics as Rainbow Dash swims with intense fury after him.
>He may be finally swimming, but his poor speed is no match for Rainbow Dash's swimming abilities.
>The entire team laughs as Zephyr Breeze squeals like a little girl as Rainbow Dash gives chase.
>”Hmm…I think Zephyr Breeze is highly qualified for the high diving event,” Twilight says as she looks through the High Diving event’s rules.
>”Y-you’re kidding…” Applejack says, “he’s actually good for somethin’?”
>”AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” Zephyr Breeze yells as Rainbow Dash catches up with him.
>”Yep, he didn’t splash water out of the pool and got through the water in a very good position. Who would’ve thought his annoying routine ensured a place for him in the team after all?!”

>Hours later.
>Twilight keeps taking record of everyone’s times.
>”How did everyone do Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>You’re the last member of the team in the pool. And you’re about to complete the fifth lap.
“There!”
>”Good job Anon!” Twilight says.
>As soon as you emerge out of the pool, Rarity hands you a towel.
>”You did great dearie…”
>She noticed!
“Aw shucks…thanks Rarity!” You say while scratching the back of your head with your right hand.
>Twilight shows Rainbow the chart.
>”Hey…that’s not bad at all!” Rainbow Dash says.
>Twilight gets her laptop out of her backpack and quickly transfers her data to a spreadsheet.
>She quickly runs a program to show the best swimmers.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-yZFVcNeoY
>”And here we go! In the top five are: Aria; Sonata; Rainbow; Flash; and…Anon!”
>Rainbow Dash chuckles.
>”What’s so funny Rainbow?” Twilight asks.
>”Really now Twi? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
>”Mistake? No! This program makes sure to place the best on top!”
>”B-but…”
>”Science is never wrong Rainbow…Aria and Sonata are faster than you.”
>Both Aria and Sonata share a high-five while mocking Rainbow.
>Rainbow can’t believe what she’s listening to.
>”Buut, we got a problem…Anon can’t be in two events at once can he?”
>”Y-you’re right…Anon is already going to be part of the relay race team!”
“I am?”
>”Yep, along with ehhh…Big Mac; Cloudy Kicks; Sunset Shimmer and Applejack according to today’s record. However this might change so you all better keep training!”
>Ahh…yeah.
>”Well then…time for us to train for the High Diving event!”
>”I’m already in that team so I don’t need to practice further!” Zephyr Breeze says rather proudly.
>Rainbow puts on a grumpy face.
>”Yeah like…can’t we leave that for tomorrow?” Cloudy Kicks says, “I’m like, totally wasted!”
>”A rest would be okay with me…” Sandal Wood says.
>”I’m hungry as well…” 
>”Ugh…fine,” Rainbow Dash says, “we’ll keep training tomorrow.”
>”Who’s up for Chokey Chiken?!” Pinkie Pie yells.
>”Chokey Chicken?!” The team yells in excitement.
>Hmm! That doesn’t sound bad at all!
>Yet another opportunity to bond with your team.
>Besides, you’re also hungry as well.
>And that franchise serves some bomb-ass chicken too.
>What can you say? Today was a good day!

>Three days later…
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1SFWU5tXAE
>Today’s a beautiful and sunny Tuesday, and you are all on the soccer field waiting for Rainbow Dash.
>Classes have ended for the day and you’re excited to train a bit more, Pinkie has kept the team’s morale way up!
>The girls are stretching their perfect and beautiful bodies while the guys are doing laps on the field.
>You really like these people.
>Rarity was right; everyone here is very friendly.
>”Ready to win next Saturday guys?” Some girls from the art club say as they pass by your team, heading to the school’s bus.
>”You bet!” Brawly Beats replies.
>”Good luck guys!” Pixel Pizazz and other members of the photography club say.
“Thanks! We won’t need it though!” You reply.
>”That’s ze spirit! Ze passion!” Photo Finish says as she lifts her camera and takes a photo of you with a very bright flash, leaving you all blind.
>Brawly Beats bumps against you, and you bump against Flash Sentry, and pretty much everybody bumps against each other, eventually leading your team to fall on the grass.
>You all share a good laugh.
>Man, it’s been quite a while since you’ve had such a nice time.
>Joining this team was a great idea.
>Minutes later Rainbow Dash makes her appearance.
“Heya Rainbow…what took you so long?”
>She looks somewhat nervous.
>”Oh nothing…Principal Celestia and I had a long talk.”
“Really? About what?”
>”Well…She basically said how none of you improved since we began…have so I think we should check up on the other teams to see what we are dealing with.”
>”Huh?” Your team says, looking quite baffled.
>”You mean, as in…spying on them?” Applejack asks.
>”More or less…let’s get going, first stop. Pleasantview High! The school bus is ready and waiting for us!”
>”Is Principal Celestia okay with this?” Applejack asks again, feeling uneasy at the unethical 
>”Duh!” Rainbow Dash replies, “she really wants us to win. Let’s get going, Pleasantview is not that far away.”
>You shrug and follow Rainbow Dash.
>The rest of the team does the same.

>Half an hour later.
>You’ve arrived to Pleasantview Town.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4le8dL0l4Y
>Quite the peaceful little town, located right next to the ocean; populated with friendly-looking people and many small critters Fluttershy would love to cuddle.
>The driver stops the school bus and asks you to get off, then he drives away to find somewhere to park the bus away from Pleasantview High’s students.
>”I’ll call the driver to pick us up in this very same spot once we gather all the info we need on the players,” Rainbow Dash says, “the school should be two blocks away from here.”
>You all walk towards Pleasantview High, which show no sign of students.
>Rainbow Dash looks at her watch.
>”Whoa, we better hurry up! Pleasantview High’s classes almost end for today!”
>You all pick up the pace.

>”There it is! Pleasantview High,” Rainbow Dash says.
>…
>That’s it?
>Canterlot High looks a lot better compared to this small high school.
>”Well team, we have to focus on their weaknesses and strengths if we want to ensure our victory this Saturday. Any mistake they commit can be used to our favor!” Rainbow Dash says, “but for now…we better find a vantage point so we can ‘peep’ on them.”
>”Ah still think we shouldn’t be doin’ this Rainbow…” Applejack says, “it just ain’t right.”
>”Come on Applejack, even professional teams do these sorts of things. You don’t see ‘em complaining!”
>”Yep, that’s true…” Heath Burns says while looking at an old video of a basketball match between Pleasantview High and Crystal Prep Academy on his phone, “this Sandy girl looks quite tough on the videos I’ve seen so far. Last term her team managed to win the third place in basketball, all thanks to her. It’d be pretty exciting to actually see how she trains her team for this tournament!”
“Whoa, she’s pretty good…” You say, after watching the video Heath Burns played on his phone.
>”Maybe she’s gonna be in the relay-race team…” Sonata says.
>”Who knows? Look, let’s hide behind those bushes!”

>Five minutes later, the high school’s bell rings.
>”Yep, we made it on time!” Rainbow Dash says.
>About fifteen students make their appearance on the pitch.
>Joined by four more students afterwards.
>Then she finally appears.
>Accompanied by a messy-haired teen wearing glasses and sporting a messy beard like the one you shaved off last Friday.
>”Wow…she’s even more beautiful in person,” Heath Burns says under his breath.
>”You sound like you’re her biggest fan…” Lyra says with an annoyed tone of voice.
>”Ehehe…me? Come on, don’t be ridiculous!”
>Sandy kisses the messy haired teen on his cheek before running to the pitch with the rest of her team.
>”OOoohh…looks like she’s already taken Heath Burns!” Trixie mocks Heath Burns.
>”Ouch…” Heath Burns barely manages to say.
>The messy haired teen sits on the bleachers and yells lovey dovey support messages to his girlfriend Sandy.
>Sandy blows him a kiss before talking to her team.
>”What a shame…” Sandal Wood says.
>You have to admit it.
>Sandy’s quite a cutie, she’s got a butt that won’t quit and a fair skin for a girl that does nothing but work out.
>That guy looks very happy, well…who wouldn’t be happy as well with a woman like her?
>”Whoa! Look at that blonde with the ponytail and pink highlights! She’s not kissing anybody!” Brawly Beats says, “beautiful ain’t she?”
>”Eeeyup!” Big Mac says while looking at another blonde, shy-looking girl wearing a headband on her hair, “she looks lonely…”
”Dang! I should study next term in this school!” you jokingly say.
>”Anonymous! That’s not polite thing to say!” Rarity scolds.
>Whoops!
“S-sorry Rares.”
>”We’re here to study the team people, not creep on those girls! Focus!” Rainbow Dash scolds, “those two girls you mentioned are Sandy’s sisters…and quite a dangerous combo as well.”
>The Prattle Sisters huh?

>The first thing they do is stretch their bodies.
>Man, those sisters sure are something.
>Something warm lands on your hand.
>What the?
>Eugh…some of Sandal Wood’s drool fell on top of your hand.
>Even Big Mac is flustered.
>”They are…quite flexible,” Flash Sentry says, trying to hide a smile from Twilight’s gaze.
>Derpy frowns and looks at the slight chub she has on her belly.
>”Perhaps they have an advantage,” Twilight comments, “but it’s not like you cannot overcome it right?”
>Rainbow Dash looks unsure.
“Tell us more about that Sandy Prattle and her sisters Dash…what else do you know?”
>”What for? To date any of them? Forget it guys!”
“Not that! We came here to study their performance, not ask their phone numbers!”
>…yet.
>Rainbow Dash sighs.
>”The tall girl is called Mirage, she’s the eldest and the most popular girl in this high school…when it comes to swimming she’s the fastest. And the youngest one is called Nelly; she’s quite shy and is afraid of everything. She doesn’t like sports much; however! She runs quite fast, she’s even faster than Sandy…especially when she’s scared.”
>Big Mac smiles at the ‘shy’ description of Nelly that Rainbow gave.
>”I call dibs on Mirage!” Brawly Beats says.
>”Not if I ask her out first!” Ringo says.
>”You wanna fight or what?!” Brawly says as he pushes Ringo.
>”Guys! Shut up!” Lyra and Sweetie Drops say as they push Ringo and Brawly away from each other.
”Hmmm…what about Sandy?”
>”She’s the captain of the team, a jack-of-all-trades, loves sports just as much as I do. Her favorite sport is basketball.”
“How do you know all of this?”
>”We’ve faced off in quite a few times in different events. However, since none of you but Cloudy Kicks, Tennis Match and I are enrolled in sports programs-”
>”What are you talking about? I’m in the fencing team!” Sunset Shimmer interrupts.
>”And Sunset as well…I thought of bringing all of you here to see what you’re gonna face off against this Saturday.” Rainbow Dash says.
>The Prattle Sisters along with their team are running on the tracks as a warm up exercise.
>”Pfft…they don’t seem that hard,” Zephyr Breeze says, “I totally can beat that Mirage girl in the High Diving event!”
>”Yeah, besides…” Twilight adds, “they’re somehow even slower than you guys!”
>Twilight takes a look at her smartphone’s smartwatch.
>”See? That Nelly girl is even slower than Derpy…”
>”Twilight…they’re just warming up,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Oh…I totally knew that hehehe…”
>Twilight looks very embarrassed.
>She clearly hates to be wrong.
>[“Alright, I think we’re done enough warming up!”] Sandy yells, [“This time we’ll finally beat Crystal Prep Academy!”]
>Sandy asks her four of her teammates, including her sister, to walk to the track.
>[“Could you please take our times sis?”]
>Mirage nods.
>[“Nelly? Where are you sis?”]
>https://puu.sh/yKDkT/af426f8a8f.png
>Nelly emerges from the back of the group.
>Sandy smiles and comforts her nervous sister.
>[“Y-you really want me to run in the Relay Race event sis?”] Nelly shyly says.
>[“Of course sis! Why do you doubt yourself so much? I know you can do it!”]
>[“V-very well then! I’ll do my best sis!”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4qUsOC8xUI
>Everyone pays attention as the sisters and the other three members of the Relay Race team get in position, Mirage places a whistle on her lips.
>”Hah, with that weakling in their team we’ll win in no time, we have Anon in ours!” Trixie says.
>It’s Sandy’s turn to run first…it looks like she’ll be the first leg runner.
>[“Ready? GO!”]
>Mirage blows her whistle. 
 “Holy…”
>”What the-?! How?!” Brawly Beats fumbles to say. 
>”S-she’s fast!” Tennis Match says.
>Sandy runs all the way through the track.
>”A-are you taking the time Twilight?!” Lyra frantically asks.
>”W-what?! O-oh shoot! I missed it!” Twilight says and quickly starts measuring their times in her stopwatch.
>Sandy passes the baton to another teammate, and she begins her run. She’s not as fast as Sandy, but…none of you are fast enough to match their speeds.
>After the fourth leg’s lap end he hands the baton to Nelly.
>”S-she can’t be that fast now can she?” Trixie asks.
>[“WATCH OUT NELLY! A SPIDER!”] The fourth leg runner yells.
>Nelly lets out a yell, which makes her runs EVEN FASTER than Sandy!
>You can’t believe your eyes.
>[“Hahaha…spiders, what a baby!”] The fourth leg runner mocks Nelly, causing the others to laugh at her.
>https://puu.sh/yKDsY/f5d6416c08.png
“Poor girl…”
>As soon as Nelly reaches the finish line, she rejoins the rest of her team and finds everyone doing their best to stifle their laughter.
>[“Did…the spider…leave?”]
>[“Yeah it did…WAIT! IT’S ON YOUR HAIR!”]
>Nelly yells even louder.
>[“GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!”] She begs, scratching her head, hoping for the spider to bounce of her head.
>Everyone laughs at her.
>”Got you again Nelly! How can you be this gullible? Ahahaha!”
>As soon as Nelly hears how that prick played her she drops the baton and runs back into the school with tears rolling down her cheeks.
>Sandy slaps the guy as hard as she can.
>[”What’s your problem Artic Thunder?! Why can’t you leave my sister alone?!”]
>[“Sandy! Calm down!”] Mirage says, [“Bell! Get over here and help me!”]
>The guy sitting on the bleachers quickly stands up and runs towards Sandy to calm her down.
”Hmmm…”
>All of a sudden…a very loud sneeze is heard behind you.
>https://puu.sh/yKDNz/fa24ebbfd8.png
>Sandy and her team turn their attention towards the bushes you are all hiding in.
>”Who…freaking…sneezed?!” Rainbow Dash says gritting her teeth.
>”My apologies…” Zephyr Breeze says, “does anyone have a napkin or handkerchief?”
>Sandy and the rest of her team are on their way to your location, looking quite upset.
>”MORON!” Rainbow Dash says hitting Zephyr Breeze’s head, “thanks to you our cover is blown!”
>”Owww…”
>”You’re nothing but a setback Zephyr!” Rainbow Dash angrily says, pulling an almost knocked out Zephyr by his jacket.
>”I’m sorry…” He barely manages to say.
>”Rainbow Dash! Please! Stop hurting my brother!” Fluttershy begs her, pulling her hoodie from the back.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ
>Sandy walks through some of the bushes you were all hiding behind.
>”…Rainbow Dash?! What are you doing here?!” Sandy says.
>”Uhhh…”
>Rainbow Dash doesn’t know how to reply.
>Sandy gasps as soon as she notices you and the others.
>”EEK! W-who are you people?!”
>Everyone including yourself stands up.
>No use in hiding anymore.
>”We were just-”
>”-Spying on us? That’s low Rainbow Dash…even for you!”
>”Now what did you mean by that Sandy?”
>”The ‘best’ athlete at Canterlot High has to spy on her competition? HA! What a joke…What are you afraid of Rainbow Dash?”
>”Afraid?! I fear no one!”
>”If that was the truth then why are you here? Just to imagine how you’ll lose against us this Saturday?”
>”Grrr…I’m gonna teach you a lesson Sandy!”
>Whoops, this isn’t good!
“Ladies, please!” You say to calm Rainbow Dash and Sandy, “no need to get violent!”
>Bell joins in as well.
>”Sandy! Don’t!”
>You manage to pull Rainbow Dash apart from Sandy.
>They both stare into each other’s eyes.
>Man, if looks could kill…
>https://puu.sh/yLFdP/e51646e906.png
“Come on Rainbow…let’s keep things friendly, these games are nothing but to enjoy ourselves.”
>”More like to enjoy our victory over you losers!” The guy who mocked Nelly brags.
>”How dare you insult your own teammate like that you big meanie?!” Pinkie Pie angrily says at him.
>Things escalate into a very intense verbal fight, between them calling your team losers and yours calling theirs morons.
>Only you and Bell take a neutral stance and do your best to calm your teammates down.
>Rainbow Dash frees herself from your grip and blurts out.
>”MY TEAM CAN BEAT YOURS RIGHT NOW!”
>Everyone goes silent…
>”Well then…show us,” Sandy says.
>Whoops.

>Yep, you’re now going to have a ‘friendly’ relay-race event.
>Both Mirage and Twilight get their stopwatches ready.
>Sandy and Rainbow go first.
>You’re the fifth and last leg runner, along with Nelly. And right now you’re waiting in the designated spot.
>http://picosong.com/wRcjY/
>”GO!”
>It’s a head on head race.
“My goodness…look at them go!”
>”My sister and Rainbow sure are fast!”
>Rainbow gets a considerable distance ahead of Sandy and passes the baton to Big Mac.
>Time for Big Mac to run as fast as he can.
“Not as fast as you are…seriously, that speed was amazing, there’s no way I’ll be able to beat you…”
>Nelly lets out a giggle.
>”Who knows? I haven’t seen you run yet…err-”
>”Anonymous, but you can call me Anon.”
>”Nice to meet you Anon, I’m Nelly.”
>The Llamas’ second leg runner quickly catches up to Big Mac.
>Both him and Big Mac hand their batons to the third leg runner and Applejack respectively.
“Say, what was all that deal with that guy?”
>”Oh, you saw that as well…” Nelly says, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Yeah…”
>”Well, Radiant Sun has been quite a bit mean to me because I didn’t accept to be his Fall Formal date.”
>The third leg runner gets ahead and leaves Applejack behind for nothing but a few seconds.
>He hands his baton to the fourth leg runner while Applejack hands Sunset Shimmer her baton a few seconds later.
>You scoff.
“Pfft…and he’s bothering you because of that? What a baby…don’t let it get to you Nelly.”
>Nelly blushes.
>”Thanks Anon, I’ll keep that in mind…whoops, here they come!”
>The fourth leg gives Nelly the baton and she starts to run towards the finish line.
>You start to run after Nelly as soon as you get the baton from Sunset Shimmer.
>”GO ANON!” Sunset Shimmer yells.

>You run as fast as you can.
>For a brief moment you are able to pass Nelly…
>Then she keeps up with her pace and passes you.
>It’s a very close race.
>Everyone’s excited to learn who’ll win.
>Your heart is beating like crazy; but you won’t give up.
>You pass Nelly again.
>However, you are starting to run out of air.
>A couple of Pleasantview High students are holding a long tape.
>Nelly does not give up however…
>Both you and Nelly go through the tape at the same time.
>”…who won?” Sandy asks.
>Twilight looks at the footage she managed to record in such short notice.
>”And the winner is…”
>Everyone is nervous.
>Twilight sighs.
>”Pleasantview High…”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOXAFmvbNv0
>Pleasantview High’s students cheer, mocking you and your teammates.
>”What?! No way!” Rainbow Dash says as she snatches Twilight’s phone from her hands, ”how did she win?”
>”Hey! Be careful with that!” Twilight yells.
>The footage reveals how Nelly’s breasts crossed the finish line first.
>”Of course…” Rainbow Dash says as she looks at her own chest.
>”Hah! Don’t be a sore loser Rainbow Dash,” Sandy says, “just be a loser!”
>You let out a sigh.
>You didn’t win…
>But you don’t care, because you know that you did your best…and that’s all that matters.
>Boy your legs sure hurt.
>You approach Nelly and congratulate her.
“That was fun Nelly…” you manage to say while panting.
>”Yeah…it was,” Nelly says, taking short breathes, “for a moment I thought you were the winner Anon.”
>You shrug.
“Ehh, it’s just a friendly match…and having fun is all that matters don’t you think?”
>Nelly giggles.
>”You’re right Anon, good game.”
>”Let’s go people…” Rainbow Dash says before turning around and pointing her finger at Sandy, “just you wait; things will be different this Saturday!”
>”Yeah right…we’ll take you on! Isn’t that right Llamas?”
>”YEAAAAH!”
“Well then…I’ll get going, I’ll see you this Saturday Nelly!”
>https://puu.sh/yLFgh/8109547f4c.png
>”Take care Anon,” she shyly says.

>Minutes later, you’re already inside the bus.
>Rainbow Dash asked the driver to drive you all to Beaumont town, home of Croix Bleue High.
>”Man…what a letdown, Pleasantview High is going to be hard to beat and they’re not even as good as Crystal Prep!” Heath Burn says.
>”Yeah, like…we’re sooooo gonna lose this Saturday,” Sonata says with a sad tone.
>”I’m pretty convinced Anon tied with that girl…she just had a slight advantage,” Aria says.
>”Yeah…a ‘C-cup’ advantage,” Trixie implies, “don’t get us wrong Anon, you did all you could.”
>“Aw come on, don’t tell me you guys have given up already,” Pinkie Pie says.
>http://picosong.com/wR9ZY/
>”Huh? What do you mean Pinkie?” Lyra asks.
>”It was just a practice match, Rainbow totally beat that Sandy girl even if she was just as fast as her…and Nonny actually tied the race with the fastest girl in that high! Can’t you see the bigger picture? Everything was improvised and yet Nonny was able to tie that race!”
>Everyone looks at each other in confusion.
>”Twilight’s optimization program was wrong all along…” Pinkie Pie says.
>“Huh?!” Twilight asks.
>”The five of you actually beat your records and did even better than in the training sessions! You didn’t even realize it.”
>”I…I think I feel faster than before,” Sunset Shimmer says.
>”You’re not actually thinking of giving up now that you actually made progress? That’s not the Wondercolt spirit now is it?”
>”Nnnope!” Big Mac utters.
>”We still have a few days left to keep practicing!” Pinkie Pie says, “those high schools think of us as the biggest losers in the world, come on now! Let’s show them what we are capable of! They’ll never see us coming!”
>”YEAH!” Everyone loudly yells at the same time feeling inspired by Pinkie’s words.
>”We’re here!” The driver says, “go kick Speedy Hares’ butts now!”
>You’re tired, but not that tired after hearing Pinkie’s speech.
>Let’s see what Croix Bleue High has to offer…

>Beaumont Town…a comfy little town that is quite near Pleasantview Town.
>”Here we are guys, Croix Bleue High…” Rainbow Dash says, “don’t let your guard down…although they screw up in the last minutes of each match they play, they are quite dangerous…”
>”Dangerous?” Sonata asks.
>”I mean, this high school hasn’t won a single cup in over twenty years but…that doesn’t mean they won’t strive to win this one to stop being a laughing stock.”
>Across the street the most famous farm in this county, Sart Farm; can be seen from the High School’s steps.
>Why is it that famous? Because it produces high quality meat and beef jerky.
>Must be all that salt coming from this very own High School.
>You’ll crack a joke to inspire your teammates even further.
”Hey guys, what’s the difference between Croix Bleue High and Sart Farm?”
>Everyone turns around…
>”What?” Trixie asks.
“One’s a place where animals do nothing but suffer; the other one is Sart Farm…”
>Everyone but Fluttershy and her brother laughs.
>”Hahaha…Good one Anon!” Rainbow Dash says, wiping a tear away from her eye with her finger.
>”Hmph…” Zephyr Breeze frowns and crosses his arms.
>”Who would’ve thought that you could be a comedian as well dude? I’m glad you are dropping the silent act to be more natural,” Rainbow Dash says while bumping your arm with her fist, “I like that more in you.”
>Rainbow Dash fixes her hair and keeps walking.
>Wow…
>Rainbow treated you nicely!
>Zephyr Breeze catches up with you and then places his hand on your shoulder.
“Hmm? What is it Zeph?”
>”…Don’t even think about it newbie,” he whispers in a threatening (?) way.
>He releases his grip and goes back to his usual spot in the group.
>Huh?
>What did you do?

>As soon as you walk on Croix Bleue High’s premises, you find all of their players doing push-ups on their soccer field.
>http://picosong.com/wRmPk/
>[”Remember guys, this year’s the good one!”]
>[”…you always say that Pearl,”] a player of Croix Bleue complains.
>”Pearl Blossom’s the captain?” Rainbow Dash whispers, “this will be interesting.”
>[”Remember, we’re up against Crystal Prep Academy and Pleasantview High…we have to give nothing but our 100%”]
>[”What about Canterlot High?”] Another player asks.
>[”Oh please. We shouldn’t waste our energy with those losers!”] Pearl Blossom laughs, [“they’re nothing but a nuisance, especially their second rate captain-“]
>”Funny you say that Pearly,” Rainbow Dash says, “I mean, have you looked at yourself in the mirror?”
>Every Croix Bleue player gasps.
>Pearl Blossom turns around and finds Rainbow Dash with a very smug smile on her face, standing right in front of her.
>”Rainbow Dash…” Pearl Blossom says with a frown, “what are you doing here?”
>”I dunno, we heard something about a certain team thinking they had a chance to win…and we came here to laugh at you,” Rainbow Dash says, followed by your team’s laughs.
>Pearl Blossom looks quite offended, but manages to regain her composure and lets out a sigh.
>”Heh, you heard wrong Rainbow Dash…we actually have a winning team!” Pearl Blossom brags.
>You all take a look at their team.
>They do look somewhat strong.
>”Aww Pearly, as soon as I noticed you were the Captain of this team knew we wouldn’t have anything to worry about,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Heh…good one Rainbow Dash, we just finished training for the relay race and cross-country events…we were about to get ready for a swim, last thing I heard about your lousy team was that you actually train in that pee-filled public pool! Unlike Canterlot High our school can afford a swimming pool!” Pearl Blossom says with a grin.
>”Boy, what a waste of money…” Rainbow Dash says under her breath.
>”Oh, you think you actually have a chance? Well then! Grab your team and let’s see who can win!”
>”You’re on!”

>Minutes later at Croix Bleue High’s pool.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAa8-LBiB5I
>You’re sitting on the bleachers next to the pool waiting for your team to come out of the changing booths.
>Sunset Shimmer sits next to you.
>”Hey Anon, what’s going on?”
“Hey Sunset, I was just thinking…It must be nice to have a pool in our school don’t you think?”
>Sunset giggles.
>”Yeah, perhaps Principal Celestia will build one with the money we make once we win this competititon.”
“True, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We don’t even know what will happen this Saturday…to tell you the truth I’m kind of nervous.”
>”Me too Anon, me too…oh look! Here they come!”
>Aria, Sonata, Flash, Big Mac and Bulk Biceps are gonna take on Croix Bleue’s students for the swimming event.
>Wow, Sonata and Aria’s swimsuits are just too…wow.
>Aria looks quite embarrassed, and tries to hide her body by pulling her swimsuit.
>”Hey! Pigtails! Show off the goods!” A voice from Croix Bleue’s crowd yells at her.
>Aria turns her head and gives the guy who yelled at her the stink eye, followed by her cracking her fists.
>”J-just sayin’!” The guy immediately apologizes.
>Sonata doesn’t mind and instead she teases both teams by blowing a kiss on your direction.
>”We love you Sonata!!!” Almost every guy in your team says, Curly Winds being an exception.
>”That Sonata, that’s no way for a lady to behave!” Rarity says before taking a sexy selfie.
>”As long as we have those two in our team we’ll win, they’re even faster than Rainbow!”
“Don’t forget about Bulk Biceps, he doesn’t just swim…he drags the whole pool with his own arms.”
>Sunset laughs at your joke.
>Twilight and a girl from Croix Bleue act as the judges and ready their stopwatches.
>[“Ready? GO!”]

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iJdLRpS_zA
>Both Flash and the Croix Blue player start to swim.
>It’s like a relay race, but in water.
>Weird concept for an event like this one…must be Superintendent Discord’s idea.
>”Go Flash!” Your team cheers for the rocker.
>You just keep on looking at Aria, who’s still pulling her swimsuit to cover her buttocks.
>Oh baby…she looks even hotter when she’s trying to hide her body from your gaze.
>”Anon, dearie?”
“Huh?”
>Rarity grabs your head and forces you to turn it towards the pool.
>”Would you PLEASE keep your eyes on the match?”
“O-of course Rares!” You say before letting out an awkward chuckle, “I was just…well-“
>”Hmph!” Rarity does a cute annoyed gesture before crossing her arms and closing her eyes.
>No case on explaining yourself, she caught you.
>You only hope she doesn’t tell Aria on you.
>”Shame Adagio didn’t want to take part on this isn’t that right girls?” Applejack says, “we could’ve used her help for this event as well.”
>”Leave her be,” Sunset Shimmer says, “she’s still a bit, touchy after that event…”
>Flash and the Croix Blue player emerge from the pool, now it’s Big Mac’s turn.
>The quiet guy makes a graceful entrance and starts to swim as fast as possible.
>”That’s mah brother!” Applejack yells, “Go on Mac! Show these folks what the Apple Family is made of!”
”Apples?”
>Applejack lets out a chuckle.
>”You can say that again,” Applejack says as she takes an apple out of her bag and throws it directly at your hands, which you manage to catch in mid-air.
“…you carry these with you all the time?”
>”Just eat it sugarcube! It’ll make you feel better!”
>You do as told.
“Mmm! Juicy…thanks Jackie!”
>Applejack raises an eyebrow, she probably liked that nickname you called her.
>Big Mac steps out of the pool and Bulk Biceps jumps straight into the pool in a very unflattering way, splashing almost everyone near the pool.
>The water soaks Twilight and CB High’s judge.
>Sonata laughs.
>”Way to go big guy…” Aria sarcastically says.
>Even the Croix Bleue’s swimmer can’t keep up with the guy.
“See? Told you Bulk could drag the entire world with his own arms…”
>The girls let out a giggle, including Rainbow Dash.
>”Please…it wasn’t that funny,” Zephyr Breeze says under his breath.
>”Come on guys! Hurry up!” Pearl Blossom yells at her players, “are you even trying?!”
>”Maybe we do have a chance,” Rainbow Dash says as she bumps your shoulder, “isn’t that right Anon?”
>Zephyr Breeze bites on his finger, looking quite annoyed.
>You wonder what’s wrong with him…

>Bulk Biceps steps out of the pool and flexes his muscles, letting out a loud “YEEEEEAAAAH!”
>Everyone cheers for him.
>Flash and Mac raise their hands to give Bulk a high five.
>Sonata’s turn.
>She expertly swims across the pool’s lane, leaving Croix Bleue’s player behind easily.
 “How does she do that? It’s like she’s some sort of siren.”
>The girls look at each other mischievously, and then let out another soft giggle.
“…?”	
>Sonata steps out of the pool, and then she blows kisses to everyone.
>She really digs the attention.
>”Good going Sonata…” Twilight says, “could somebody pass me a towel? It’s cold…”
>Flash places a towel on Twilight’s back.
>”Phew…thanks Flash.”
>”Y-you’re welcome Twi!”
>Aria quickly jumps into the pool, and she’s even faster than Sonata!
>”Well…I wouldn’t like to accept it; but I gotta say, I’m glad those two are in our team,” Rainbow Dash says, “glad I won’t have to participate in both Relay Race and Swimming events…”
>Applejack frowns.
>”We’re a team Rainbow Dash, don’t forget about it!”
>Aria steps out of the pool; she says nothing, but you know she feels proud of her skills and how you all value her as an important member of the team.
>”Canterlot High Wins!” Twilight yells before sneezing quite loud.
>Twilight quickly covers her mouth.
>Your teammates cheer.
>”Twenty years? Make that twenty-one Pearly!” Rainbow Dash taunts.
>”This is far from over Rainbow Dash! We can totally beat you in the High Diving event!”

>”You okay Twi?” Flash Sentry asks.
>”Y-yeah! I’m o-okay!” She says with a very nasal tone of voice.
>Are those…
>Yep.
>Snots ooze from her nose and fingers, her face goes red from the embarrassment.
>Absolutely disgusting.
>”Oh umm…” Flash Sentry says as he looks at the floor, “I got handkerchiefs too Twi, hold on!”
>Flash Sentry quickly rummages through his stuff and hands Twilight a hanky.
>Poor Twilight, she looks like she wants to crawl in a hole and get dirt all over her from the embarrassment.
>”Alright Canterlot High,” Pearl Blossom says, “You think you’re tough? We finally had our new platform for high diving installed two days ago! Try to beat that!”
>Rainbow Dash yawns.
>”It’s nice and all, but I think it has a big flaw though Pearly.”
>”Flaw? What are you babbling about?”
>”…it’s here in Croix Bleue High.”
>Everyone in your team laughs.
>”GRRR! You’ll pay for that Rainbow Dash!”
>Pearl Blossom calls her high diving team to scene.
>”Pssh…please, guys?”
>Your high diving teammates stand up as well.
>Brawly Beats, Ringo, Curly Winds, Sandal Wood and last but not least…Zephyr Breeze.
>”With a team like mine you better call it quits this Saturday Pearly, to spare you from the usual humiliation!”
>”We’ll see about that Dash!” Pearl Blossom replies.

>Brawly Beats goes first.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9uO_AGLvhI
>He does a simple, yet efficient dive.
>”Heh, what did I tell you Pearly?” Rainbow brags.
>”Shut up!!!” Pearl Blossom angrily replies, “come on Twisted Bolt! Show these losers what you got!”
>That girl is so cute when she’s angry!
>Croix Bleue’s Twisted Bolt follows after Brawly Beats technique.
>Nothing impressive, but not bad either.
>Ringo goes next.
>He innovates his dive with a single flip and splashes a bit of water, soaking Twilight again.
>”RINGO! Be more careful!” Twilight angrily says.
>Flash places a clean towel on her once again.
>”Sorry Twi…” Ringo apologizes as he emerges from the water.
>”Hah…that’s easily a 3.5 out of 10 dorks!” Pearl Blossom says, “is that the best you can do?”
>The next dive from the Croix Bleue team goes quite well.
>Your team is losing right now.
>Curly Winds goes next.
>He performs a great dive, with a flip included!
>Twilight covers herself waiting for water to soak her.
>Luckily for her he doesn’t splash any water around him. What a perfect execution!
>”And that’s easily a 9.6 out of 10 don’t you think Pearly?”
>”Don’t call me Pearly! I’m not a child!”
>The next Croix Bleue diver messes up the stunt he was planning to perform and ends up splashing a lot of water.
>Luckily it didn’t reach Twilight.
>”BOOOO!” Rainbow Dash teases, “Croix Bleue? More like Croix Sacrebleu!”
>Man, that Pearl Blossom girl looks like she wants to choke Rainbow Dash.
>Sandal Wood goes next.
>He plays it safe and only focuses on not splashing any water.
>A solid dive, 7/10 for you.
>The next Croix Bleue diver performs quite the impressive dive, easily a 9.2 or…whatever.
>You all could use a judge to tell you how good the dives are.
>Even though this is a practice segment, you don’t know if your teammates are good enough to face Crystal Prep Academy or Pleasantview High.
>Finally, it’s time for Zephyr Breeze’s to turn the tables around.
>He looks at the small sized diving board and lets out a sigh.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DMss8Te5xE
>He does those same awkward exercises as the ones he does in the public pool.
>However, for this occasion he’s actually taking more time to prepare himself.
>You don’t know why, his dives are usually the best at the public pool’s diving board.
>”Could you please hurry up Zeph?” Rainbow Dash reminds him.
>”You can’t rush perfection sweetie,” Zephyr Breeze says.
>”PERFECTION?!” Rainbow Dash yells, “can you believe this guy?!”
>Rainbow’s eyes go wide from a sudden realization.
>”S-SWEETIE?! I’LL TEACH YOU NOT TO-”
>Fluttershy hides her face in shame.
>”Rainbow Dash! Control yerself!” Applejack says as she stands up and holds her, aided by yourself as well.
>Man, Rainbow is a tough cookie.
>You can’t even imagine what this Zephyr Breeze guy had to say to his beautiful sister to ask Rainbow Dash to let him join the team.
>Even Croix Bleue’s players and fans are getting impatient.
>”Outta the way freak…” The fifth diver, the one behind Zephyr Breeze, pushes him away and climbs up the diving board’s ladder.
>Zephyr Breeze interrupts his warm-up  exercises (?) to stare at the guy.
>The guy finally dives in and outdoes every other player in your team.
>”Good job Thunderstorm!” Pearl Blossom says, “well Rainbow Dash? Will we see that weirdo flex for today or will he actually dive?”
>”Well Zeph?! Pearly here is getting impatient!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>Zephyr finally stops his exercises and climbs up the ladder.
>One step at a time…
>…
>…
>He’s still climbing.
>Croix Bleue’s players groan.
>”Huh, that’s weird. Why is he taking so long to climb up the stairs?” Sunset Shimmer poses a question.
>”He’s being weird as usual,” Rainbow Dash says.

>Finally, Zephyr Breeze reaches the top and steps on the diving board.
“That took forever and a half…perhaps he was thinking of the best dive possible to blow Croix Bleue out of the water.”
>”I hope so…” Rainbow Dash says.
>Zephyr takes a look at the water below and breathes quite fast.
>That’s…slightly odd.
>Then he proceeds to take a look at Rainbow Dash.
>”Get on with it!” Pearl Blossom yells at him.
>”Silence ugly woman! I need to focus by picturing my muse first!” Zephyr yells back at her.
>”U-UGLY?!” Pearl Blossom yells in disbelief.
>Croix Bleue’s players try to stifle their laughs.
>”Picture his what?” Rainbow Dash says in confusion, followed by an uncomfortable tone of voice, “I-I don’t like the way he’s looking at me…”
>https://youtu.be/hvbQMtRC2Yc
>As soon as Zephyr Breeze is done whatever he was doing he immediately closes his eyes and jumps on the high diving board.
>One…
>Twice…
>There he goes!
>Everyone gasps.

>Zephyr Breeze manages to pull off two complete spins and pulls off quite a very graceful dive at the end, followed by literally next to no water splashing.
>Everyone in Canterlot High’s team cheers for him.
>Croix Bleue High is paralyzed by the dive they just witnessed.
>”I, uh…I-“ Pearl Blossom can’t say a word either.
>Rainbow Dash looks quite conflicted.
>Zephyr emerges from the pool.
>”WE WON!” Derpy yells in excitement.
>Everyone runs towards him to congratulate him.
>”You did amazing Zephyr!” Sonata says.
>”I know…” He says, with a big smug smile printed on his face.
>”That was incredible Zeph!” Sandal Wood says, “
>”Of course, it’s my art! And it’s always beautiful.” Zephyr Breeze replies.
“It took you a long time to do it but, you did great Zeph!” You comment as well.
>He looks down on you.
>”What do you care Anon? You’re not even in this team,” he arrogantly replies, “unlike you…I was able to win an event!”
>…

>”G-good job Zeph…” even Rainbow Dash congratulates him.
>He flexes in front of Dash.
>”I only needed to focus on my muse…that’s all,” he confidently says.
>Everyone keeps complimenting him.
>”ZEPHYR BREEZE! ZEPHYR BREEZE!” They cheer for him.
>Your team even pushes you out of the group that gathered around him.
>What a jerk!
>You only wanted to congratulate him!
>https://youtu.be/KAk32g5bcAM
>B-but he’s right.
>You lost today’s race against Nelly…you gave it all to win. Moreover, it was just a practice match too!
>Man…perhaps your teammates at Seacrest Jr. High were right.
>You are nothing but a failure.

>”Dearie…what’s wrong?” Rarity says using a comforting tone of voice as she approaches you from the back.
“Oh…it’s nothing Rares,” you reply after turning your head around your shoulder.
>”Ignore Zephyr Breeze dearie, I heard what he said…he’s nothing but a jerk.”
“Perhaps, but he’s right…I lost.”
>Rarity giggles.
>”It’s not the end of the world Anon, you can use these days to train even harder.”
>Rarity takes a look at Zephyr Breeze.
>”Besides, remember he couldn’t even finish a five lap race…”
>You crack a smile.
>“Oh, I think I saw a smiiile~” Rarity teases you, “see? I trust you’ll give more than your 100% this Saturday!”
“You’re right Rares, I will!”
>You both follow the rest of your team, who’s making their way to the exit.
“Rarity?”
>”Yes darling?”
“Thank you.”
>”You’re welcome…” Rarity smiles at you, using that sweet tone of voice you’re so fond of.
>”See you later losers!” Rainbow Dash laughs as you all walk through the pool’s exit.
>”It’s…it’s not fair!” Pearl Blossom cries, “this was supposed to be our year!”
>Croix Bleue’s players try to comfort her.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4
>Wednesday.
>5:42 A.M.
>”C’mon Anon! You gotta keep up!” Sunset Shimmer says.
>https://puu.sh/yTUax/9627d82dba.png
>You’ve done nothing but run for more than half an hour.
>Even though you’re not in the Cross-country team, you wish to increase your stamina as well.
>Sunset Shimmer joined you as well, who knew she got up as early as you do to exercise?
>You two have been running around the school, you feel like you almost ran from one end of the city to the other.
“Ok Sunset…”
>”You’re not tired are you?”
“No, you?”
>”Nope…”
>You run faster and get past her.
>”Wow, easy there tiger, no need to tire yourself like that!”
“I told you…I’m not tired!”
>Sunset Shimmer smiles and you inspire her to run faster.

>Thursday.
>6:37 A.M.
>”Wow!” Twilight says as she looks at her phone’s stopwatch, “Anon broke his record again!”
>”Pfft…he’s still not as fast as that blondie from Pleasantview High,” Zephyr Breeze says, “he might as well secure the 2nd place.”
>”Why don’t ‘cha stuff your mouth with a sock?” Applejack says, “or even better…an apple!”
>She shoves an apple right into Zephyr Breeze’s mouth
>”RUN SUGARCUBE! RUN!”
>Both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna watch you race around the school.
>”He’s quite fast isn’t he sister?”
>”Indeed…you know Luna, I feel our new student Anon is playing quite a motivational role in the team to make them work harder.”
>Vice Principal Luna nods.
>”If only he could inspire them as well to have grades just as good as his.”
>Both sisters giggle.

>Friday.
>6:45 A.M.
>”Anon broke his record again Rainbow Dash!” Twilight excitedly says.
>”I know! Isn’t he…amazing?!” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Totally…” Rarity swoons.
>Zephyr Breeze just frowns and crosses his arms.
>”There’s no way Sandy and the others will be able to beat us tomorrow! Not even Crystal Prep!”

>Hours later.
>Lunch time.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NWWNuKN2Ec
>You’re all gathered at the usual table.
>You’re sitting on your usual spot, next to Rarity.
>Rainbow Dash sits down to your right with a huge smile on her face.
>”So! Tomorrow’s the big day! How are you all feeling?”
>”Great!” Heath Burns says.
>”Amazing!” Sandal Wood says, “no one can’t stop us!”
>”Nnnnope,” Big Mac shakes his head.
>”YEEEEEEEEAH!” Bulk Biceps yells, “uh, I mean…NOOOOOOOOO!”
>He looks quite confused and conflicted.
>”EEEEE! We’re so gonna win this!” Sonata excitedly says, “aren’t you excited Ari?”
>Aria shrugs.
>Sonata turns around and finds Adagio sitting at a table far away by herself.
>”DAGI! We’re gonna win tomorrow!” Sonata yells.
>Adagio rolls her eyes and pretends she didn’t hear a thing.
>You wonder why she didn’t want to join the team.
>”I see you are all having a good time…”
>You all find Principal Celestia and her sister Luna standing right next to your table.
>”Hey Principal Celestia…what’s good?” Rainbow Dash confidently says.
>”Superintendent Discord sent me an e-mail about the other teams that are going to participate in this tournament. You were placed in Group A!”
>”Duh! It couldn’t be more obvious! We’re the best after all…” Lyra brags.
>Vice Principal Luna likes how every single one of you has changed for the best, even in the mentality aspect.
>”Along with you are Crystal Prep Academy, Pleasantview High and Croix Bleue High, a very tough group if I say so myself.”
>”Psssh…please Principal Celestia, they’re nothing, especially Croix Blergh High!” Sweetie Drops says, giving Lyra a high five.
>”So…” Principal Celestia continues, “There are going to be eight groups. From A to F…the rules state that only the best two out of each group will pass to the Round of Sixteen! Isn’t this exciting?”
>”If you don’t make it first…then second is okay!” Vice Principal Luna adds.

>”And…what about the other groups?” Twilight Sparkle asks.
>”Right…so, these are the teams you will be facing only if you qualify, which I know you will,” Principal Celestia winks.
>Principal Celestia hands you all copies of all the groups.
>”Aww man, they invited Lion County’s High Schools as well?” Lyra says, “they are a bunch of stuck-up jerks…”
>”Their matches are always quite rough,” Sunset Shimmer says, “they always call their matches a ‘classic’.”
>”If you live in Lion County that is…like, they always brag about being the best at everything, but nobody outside their county cares about them,” Lyra replies.
>”They call their pathetic matches a ‘Classic’? Ha, don’t make me laugh, the real classic is Cougars vs Donkeys!” Flash Sentry says, “The Donkeys have lost lately against the cougars in football but they both pour their souls in the pitch. Both have very vocal fanbases as well.”
>”But that’s only Football…” Sandal Wood says, “they don’t shine in any other thing…”
>”Heh, the Bears are here as well? Well…we totally know who isn’t winning the cup,” Rainbow Dash says.
>Big Mac chuckles.
>”I’ve always wondered why Abel City’s mascots are called The Nukes…” Fluttershy says.
“There’s a Missile Launch Facility not far away from Abel City. It’s called Sigma Complex I think…”
>”Scary…” she says.
>”The Foxes?! AHAHAHAH!” Rainbow Dash laughs out loud,  “Please! The last time they’ve won something was back in the ‘50s, their only cup is almost as old as Superintendent Discord himself! I can’t believe they have the guts to call their matches against the Goats another Classic, am I glad they won’t face off in the qualifiers.”
>”Buuuut, look who’s here as well! St. Ursula’s Eagles, boy if the Eagles and the Goats faced against each other in this tournament…” Derpy says, “that would be scary!”
>”As long as they don’t cheat like they ALWAYS do, then fine by me…” Heath Burns adds.
>Everyone laughs.
>You keep reading the list.
>Wait a sec.
>Something’s not right here.

>You read Group G’s teams.
>https://youtu.be/P3Yy-Lpdt6g?t=3s
>Oh.
>No.
>NO!
>NOOO!
>”Yo, you okay dude? You look like you saw a ghost!” Rainbow Dash says with a laugh.
“I-uh…I-“
>Everyone stops laughing.
>”Anon? Are you okay dear?” Rarity asks.
“S-Seacrest County High…is here as well.”
>Rarity gasps.
>”What?! No way!” Rainbow Dash says before reading the members of Group G.
>Rainbow’s eyes suddenly go wide.
>”Well…that’s lame.”
>Everyone looks at each other, worried that in the near future, they might have to fight the most aggressive team of all.
>”Oh no…why did it have to be them?” Trixie says, resting her face on her hands.
>”Group G’s done for…” Tennis Match says.
>”Umm…Wondercolts?” Principal Celestia looks worried.
>Even Pinkie Pie looks somewhat scared.
>You recall your days back In Seacrest Jr. High…
>The people you met there are nothing compared to the ones that attended High School.
>If you face off against them…will you see your former teammates and classmates?
>[“Oh my goodness Anon…could you be anymore useless?”]
>[“Are you just deaf or just dumb?”]
>[“Good job moron! You missed that penalty and thanks to you we lost!”]
>[“I heard your mother slept with the coach to let you in the team, hahaha!”]
“I can’t believe this! ARGH!”
>You tear the list in a fit of rage.
>”…you okay dude?” Flash Sentry asks.
“Excuse me for a moment…”
>You stand up and leave your food behind.
>”A-Anonymous? Where are you going?” Rarity asks.
>You quickly get out of there and head to the restroom.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI5IC8gMPtI
>You’re hiding inside a restroom stall, to be alone with your thoughts.
>Lunch time is almost over…
>32 teams…and Seacrest High had to be one of them.
>You can’t believe it.
>After you finally got out of that place, you swore you never wanted to hear anything related to Seacrest County, not even the name of that place again.
>It’s like they came back to haunt you once again.
>The other teams surely can’t take care of them…so, it’s inevitable.
>You’ll have to face them one way or the other, no matter what, if you wish to win that is…
>What will you do now?
>They’re the absolute champions of everything, they even beat Crystal Prep Academy in several occasions and in different sports according to Rainbow Dash.
>There’s no way you’ll be able to beat them…
>You sigh.
>[”Anonymous? Are you there?”] Rarity asks, knocking on the restroom’s door.
“Rarity?”
>[“Listen, I know you had a horrible time in that place darling, but you’re making things worse for yourself if you cling onto the past like this.”]
>You sigh.
>[“Rarity’s right Sugarcube…you’ll never move on if you keep downplaying yourself!”]
>Applejack’s here too?
>[“Come on dude! You can’t be serious! Don’t tell me you are actually afraid of those jerks!”]
>Now Rainbow Dash came here to laugh at you?

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHufmJR2Dc4
>[“With all the training you’ve went through it should be THEM who should be afraid of YOU!”]
>What?
>Did Rainbow actually say that?
>[“YEEEEEAH!”] Bulk Biceps is heard as well.
>[“You know those guys better than us Anon, can’t you see? You’ve got an advantage over them!”] Sunset Shimmer adds.
>[“Like, seriously Anon…you can’t give up yet and we can’t do this without you!”] Sonata says, [“quick! Say something Aria!”]
>[“…you’re okay I guess Anon, and if you don’t come out I’ll burst in and drag you out by force you hear?!”]
>[“Come on man, no one runs or swims as fast as you!”] Flash Sentry says, [“we’ll show everyone tomorrow who’s boss! Then Seacrest won’t be anything for you and us!”]
>[“Eeeeyup!”]
>You quickly stand up and open the restroom’s door.
>You find your team standing right in front of the restroom’s door.
>”Did everything come out nicely?” Pinkie Pie asks.
>You let out a chuckle.
“Thanks everyone, you guys are the best…”
>”GROUP HUG!” Lyra yells.
>Everyone engages in a hug…before getting crushed by Bulk Biceps.
>You can’t breathe!
>As soon as Bulk Biceps releases you all, you turn to Rarity.
“Rares…? “
>”Yes darling?” She says with the cutest smile you’ve ever seen.
“I-“
>Before you can say anything else, the bell rings.
>”We’ll be late for class!” Pinkie Pie yells.
>”Aww…” Rarity says.
>”You didn’t eat your lunch Nonny! So I thought I should give it to you…” Pinkie Pie says.
“Thanks Pink…wait a sec, did you bite my sandwich?”
>Pinkie shrugs.
>”Sorry, I was kinda hungry.”
>You let out another chuckle.
>Yeah, it doesn’t matter who are you up against.
>Out of 32 High schools, Canterlot High will be the only one who prevails!

>SATURDAY…
>10:13 A.M.
>The day of the competition has finally arrived.
>https://youtu.be/q8ZQbTParX0
>This is it…
>You’ve all trained so hard for these past few days.
>The bus parks on Crystal Prep Academy’s premises, next to Pleasantview High and Croix Bleue High’s buses.
>You feel a bit nervous, but you know the rest of your friends feel just like you.
>”Everything is fine…” Lyra and Sweetie Drops repeat a mantra at the same time.
>Bulk Biceps has his eyes closed and takes deep breaths, then-
>”I…am a SHARK!” He yells at the top of his lungs.
>Sheesh.
>Some people have their way to focus.
>You look at Applejack and her big brother, Big Macintosh.
>They have their eyes closed and they look like they are mumbling something to themselves.
>Perhaps it’s an old Apple Family tradition.
>Sonata and Aria keep teasing each other while also wishing Adagio was among with you all.
>”Whoa, there’s lots of people…” Trixie says.
>”Yeah…” Sunset Shimmer adds, “lots of Crystal Prep fans.”
>“Look! People from our school came too!” Heath Burns says while pointing at a big section in the crowd.
>”Well, that’s a relief!” Flash Sentry adds, “I thought they weren’t going to be interested to see us.”
>”Don’t be ridiculous Flash, like…why wouldn’t they come to our school to support us?” Tennis Match says, “they know we’ve been working quite hard, getting ready for this day.”
>You all get out of the school bus.
“You know Rainbow…I’ve been wonderin’.”
>”Yeah?”
“Why didn’t we challenge Crystal Prep Academy as well? All we did these last three days was train at our school.”
>”Well…Croix Bleue’s Principal was quite angry at Principal Celestia for encouraging us to ‘harass’ their team in their own High School, so Celestia forbade me from challenging Crystal Prep or any other schools we might face in the future…don’t worry ‘bout it Anon. We know our way with Crystal Prep players, all you have to do is run faster than the other players. Understood?”
“Very well then…”
>Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna ask for your attention.
>You all gather around them.
>”Very well team, we know how hard you’ve been working lately…” Vice Principal Luna says.
>”And we wanted to congratulate you for that…” Principal Celestia continues, “Rainbow, we’re so glad you formed a team of winners, and in such short notice too!”
>”Don’t worry about it Principal Celestia, I mean…it’s not like I asked for this or anything remember?” Rainbow retorts.
>”Ehehe…” Principal Celestia lets out an awkward chuckle before clearing her throat, “well then…we all wish you nothing but good luck! Remember to put Canterlot High’s name right next to the stars!”
>”YEAH!” Everyone; including you, say at the same time with a fist in the air, “Goooo WONDERCOLTS!”
>”My sister and I will join the other schools’ authorities and Superintendent Discord for the inauguration event. Go get ready!” Vice Principal Luna says.

>11:00 A.M.
>https://youtu.be/qXOs0afYNqE
>Superintendent Discord makes his appearance and walks towards the podium in the middle of the soccer pitch.
>The attendees from the four schools cheer as soon as you all make your appearance on the pitch.
>Four neat lines of twenty players each.
>Sour Sweet, Sandy, Pearl and Rainbow Dash carry their respective school’s banner.
>”Welcome Students, Parents and Teachers…to the Qualifiers of the First Annual Physical Activation Tournament Program! In which the goal is to promote a healthier way of life through exercise! Who knows? Maybe one of you will end up participating in the Olympic Games some day!”
>Voices are heard coming from the crowd, apparently some parents think their kids have the potential to be a top athlete who can proudly represent the country.
>”Apparently, the government from this great country thinks that our teenagers and kids are doing poorly in school because of their terrible diets and sedentary lifestyles. Which might eventually lead to some regulations…such as taxes on Candy, Sodas and-“
>”AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Pinkie Pie yells from the bleachers, “THOSE MONSTERS!”
>Twilight shuts Pinkie Pie’s mouth with her palm and forces her to sit down.
>Both Rarity and Fluttershy sigh from embarrassment.
>”As I was trying to say…” Superintendent Discord resumes his introductory speech, “the board of directors from the Ministry of Education quickly came up with this pilot program to encourage the teens of this school to prove them wrong! Which lead to this Tournament! These are the rules:”
>There he goes again…
>”For each team there will be twenty players, ten male and ten female. Led by a captain whose sex doesn’t matter…”
>Uh huh.
>”Points will be awarded after an event finishes and these will be their values: +150 for the first place, +100 for the second, +50 for the third, and of course, none for the fourth place.”
>Nothing new yet.
>”For the Qualifiers there will be four events that will be picked randomly…Principal Cadance? Would you mind opening your envelope and reading the first event for us? After all, your school is Group’s A host for this event.”
>Crystal Prep Academy’s Principal stands up and does as told.
>She reads the paper inside the envelope and reads it out loud.
>”Cross-Country!”
>”Cross-Country will be the first event!” Superintendent Discord says, “now…Principal Billiard Ball? Would you care to open your envelop?”
>Croix Bleue’s Principal stands up and does the same.
>”Swimming!”
>”Very well then, swimming it is! Principal High Noon?”
>Principal High Noon from Pleasantview High rips the envelop and reads the letter inside.
>”High Diving!”
>”Very well then…”
>Principal Celestia stands up.
>But before she speaks up, Superintendent Discord interrupts her.
>”Aw Principal Celestia…we know the order already, no need to read that letter! It’s obvious that letter contains the Relay Race event!”
>”Ah, s-sure Superintendent Discord, how foolish!” Principal Celestia says, but as soon as Superintendent Discord turns around she squints at him.
>Boy he sure loves to make fun of her.
>Who knows what Principal Celestia must be thinking of him right now.
>”Very well, let the Qualifiers BEGIN!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgu9CldKof8

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAPCAG9TYyk
>Your team gathers around Rainbow Dash, while the others do the same with their captains.
>”Alright guys,” Rainbow Dash says, “no pressure…we’ve practiced a lot!”
>”Oh boy, I’m sooo excited!” Sonata says.
>”That’s the spirit Sonata! As long as we can keep the mood up like this we’ll be able to win, we know Croix Bleue and Pleasantview’s got nothing on us!”
“What about Crystal Prep?” You ask.
>”…” Everyone remains silent.
>”Leeeet’s not focus on them right now okay?” Rainbow Dash advises, “the best outcome of all would be winning every event, but let’s be real!”
>Huh?
>You don’t get it, why did she just say that?
>”Crystal Prep always wins whenever we face them…” Sunset Shimmer whispers right into your ear.
“Oh…so, we have to secure 2nd place huh?”
>Sunset Shimmer nods.
>You turn your head around your shoulder and see Crystal Prep’s players…who look quite organized and athletic.
>Well, that seems like the best option right now.
>”I hope they forgot about what happened in the Friendship Games…” Derpy says.
“Well, what happened?”
>”Oh, you don’t know Anon?” Derpy says, “well, Twilight-“
>”We TIED! That’s all!” Rainbow Dash interrupts Derpy, “we agreed that we would never touch the subject again remember?”
>”Whoopsie…sorry,” Derpy apologizes.
>That was weird.
>You spot Nelly amongst Pleasantview’s group.
>She waves at you, and you wave back.
>Mirage asks her sister to focus.
>Nelly pouts, and goes back to listening
>You should listen to Rainbow Dash as well.
>”Very well then, you know the rules…Cross-Country, point A to B, we require stamina over speed because of the length of the course. So! For the Cross-Country Team I choose:”
>Rainbow Dash looks at Trixie.
>”Trixie!”
>”It’s the Great and Powerful Trixie to YOU! Rainbow Dash…”
>”Ugh, whatever…Lyra and Sweetie Drops!”
>”Aww yeah!” Both friends say at the same time before hugging each other.
>”Hmm…Tennis Match!”
>”Woo!” Tennis Match pumps her fist in the air.
>”And last but not least! Derpy!”
>”Yaaay!”
>”So! You did study the course right…?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>”Of course we did!” Lyra replies, “we ran all week through the streets of course #1.”
>”What’s the other piece of advice I gave you all?” Rainbow Dash asks once again.
>”Take the inner corners!” Derpy replies.
>”And most importantly?”
>”Stamina first, speed in the last few seconds!” Sweetie Drops replies.
>”Well then! You are all ready! Go get them girls!”
>”WOOOOOO!”

>The girls walk towards the start line, along with other enemy team members.
>You take a look at the map, concerned for your teammates.
>”What’s on your mind Anon?” Sunset Shimmer asks.
“It’s such a simple route…I thought this event’s course would be a bit longer don’t you think?”
>”It is quite small, but I believe that in the future it’ll be extended a lot more, it’s a good thing our friends have trained the whole week in that route.”
“How will they deal with vehicles and such?”
>”The streets have been closed and cordoned off…so they will all be safe!” Applejack says.
“That’s a relief…I wonder how the officials will score this event.”
>Rainbow Dash grabs the guide for this event from her gym bag and reads it out loud.
>”According to the booklet Celestia gave me, they just have to arrive to the finish time in the least amount of time, if; let’s say Trixie, makes it to the finish line earlier than Sweetie Drops then she’ll get more points than her.”
>She flips the page.
>”Everyone’s times will be compared and then finally associated as a team, let’s say…a comparison of total times between Pleasantview High’s members are higher than Croix Bleue’s ones then they’ll win.”
>“Ah…I understand now,” Bulk Biceps says, “so…if our girls make it through the finish line as fast as they can they’ll have more points than the other teams?”
>“Yeah…we’re talking about time differences between each member; the lesser time the better because they’ll get bonus points as well!”
>”LOOK! They’re about to start!” Heath Burns says while pointing at the starting line.
>A referee aims a gun at the sky and shoots.
>http://picosong.com/wRpCn/
>Everyone starts to run towards the streets of the marked route.
>”Oh my goodness, this is so exciting!” Sonata says, “my hands are trembling! I can’t wait for my turn!”
“So, what now?”
>”Now? We wait for the girls to arrive…”

”Man, I really wish we could see how they’re doing right now…”
>”Indeed…” Sunset Shimmer says before looking at her phone.
>Her smartphone starts to ring.
>”Huh, Twilight’s calling me?”
>She answers the call.
>”Hey Twilight, what’s up?”
>…
>”Really? You did what?”
>Sunset looks quite surprised.
>”Really?! That’s incredible!”
>You really want to know why Sunset’s so surprised.
>”Sure! Everyone’s here with me. Lemme turn the speaker on.”
>[“Hey everyone!”] Twilight’s voice is heard coming from Sunset’s phone.
>”Hey Twi, what’s going on?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>[“I can tell you how everyone’s doing right now! I’m tracking them right now with my drone!”]
>“…wait what?” Sunset Shimmer says, “you have one of those thingies?”
>[“Uh huh! So far…Croix Bleue has the lead.”]
“Uh oh…what about /our girls/ ?”
>[”Well, Lyra and Sweetie Drops are close behind some of Pleasantview High students. Trixie is almost in last place.”]
>”Great and powerful? Yeah right…”
>[“She’s doing better than Derpy, she’s in last place!”]
>”WHAT?! I-I can’t believe this!”
“Perhaps she took your advice a little bit too seriously Rainbow Dash…stamina over speed.”
>Rainbow Dash groans.
>[“Tennis Match is about to take the lead…wow, those Croix Bleue guys don’t let her through.”]
>Aww man!
>Everyone in your team starts complaining.
>The other teams notice all of your reactions.
>Sandy arches an eyebrow.
>”What’s the matter Rainbow Dash? Your team is losing already?” Pearl Blossom mockingly says.
>[“Wait! A Croix Bleue player just tripped and caused some members of Pleasantview High to collide with him! Lyra and Sweetie jumped over them!”]
>Pearl Blossom can’t believe what she heard.
>You all have to huddle to prevent the other teams from eavesdrop on the phone conversation.
>Sunset Shimmer even lowers the volume.
>“Haha…classic Croix Bleue,” Rainbow Dash whispers.
>[”Tennis Match and Trixie jumped over the guy as well…wow, he looks angry!”]
>You keep listening to Twilight’s call.
>[“Derpy stopped on her tracks, it looks like she’s gonna help up the Croix Bleue player…OH MY GOODNESS!”]
“What happened Twi?!”
>[“The Croix Bleue player swatted her hand away and pushed her! Derpy fell on her…posterior and Trixie went back to get her up!”]
>”What the heck?!” Rainbow Dash loudly protests.
>[“Derpy’s crying…and rubbing her posterior as well. Trixie is doing her best to cheer her up.”]
>You can’t believe this!
>He’s so gonna be in trouble for that!
>[“Oh no…Crystal Prep still has the lead. The five members are in the first five positions.”]
“Twi? Where’s Derpy?”
>[“…She’s still in last place, but at least she’s picking up the pace”]
>[”I know! This wasn’t supposed to happen! Trixie has started to run faster, just like Tennis Match!”]
>This is not good.
>”Ugh! I can’t believe it!”
>”LOOK! Here they come!” Applejack yells.
>As always, the five Crystal Prep Students cross the finish line first.
>Followed by some Pleasantview High and Croix Bleue students.
>Lyra and Sweetie get past the finish line.
>Followed by the remaining Pleasantview High students.
>Tennis Match.
>The jerk who pushed Derpy.
>Then Trixie.
>And lastly…Derpy.
>[“Well…that settles the score doesn’t it?”] Superintendent Discord announces on the speakers.
>Your team run towards your girls.
>Trixie looks mad.
>”I’m so sorry…I shouldn’t have-“ Derpy tries to apologize.
>”It’s okay Derpy…” Rainbow Dash says, “Twilight saw everything, it’s not your fault. You were just being you.”
>[“The results are here!”] Superintendent Discord announces.
>You all look at the rankings.
>4th PLACE?!
>Everyone in your team complains.
>”Hah…look at those losers, they are already losing their minds…” Artic Thunder from Pleasantview High says.
>”Well done guys!” Pearl Blossom says, “3rd is better than 4th!”
>Rainbow Dash clenches her fists.
>”We still can do this…swimmers! It’s up to you now!”

his…swimmers! It’s up to you now!”

>The crowd, officials, teachers and principals all walk towards Crystal Prep’s swimming pool.
> https://youtu.be/iUT2dWCQ3lM
>”Man…what a bummer,” Rainbow Dash says, “look! Even Principal Celestia looks like she’s already regretting this.”
>You can already see the disappointment in her face.
“Ouch…she probably thinks we’re already done for,” you state, feeling somewhat bad for her and her sister.
>”Well, we’re in fourth place after all, should we call it quits?” Sonata asks.
>”Yeah…that way we can avoid the shame,” Trixie says.
>Your team already feels like they have already lost.
“You’re not seriously considering this, right…?”
>Applejack looks quite down.
>Sunset Shimmer as well.
>This is…unacceptable!
“What? Of course not Sonata, we’re not done yet!”
>”Huh?” Rainbow Dash notices your sudden outburst.
“Why would you want to quit right now? We’re far from done! We’ve trained so hard this week, what for? Only to give our best!”
>Your team looks at each other.
>”Both you and Aria are the best swimmers in our school,” you say to Sonata, “what? Are you gonna let this chance to humiliate Crystal Prep and the others go to waste?”
>”A-Anon…” Sonata barely manages to say.
>Aria raises an eyebrow, perhaps she felt flattered by your comment.
>Rainbow Dash catches on your pep talk.
>”Anon’s right!” Rainbow Dash says, “I will not tolerate failure in my team! Why am I saying this? Because I just KNOW that there isn’t a little bit of failure amongst us!”
>”You really think we can do this?” Tennis Match says.
>”Of course! I mean, we’ve already showed Croix Bleue who’s the boss at the upcoming events, the rest of the teams are going to witness their defeat as well!”
>Everyone starts to feel motivated once again.
>”Come on! We’re supposed to give it all! Who’s with me?!”
>”YEEEEEEAH!” Bulk Biceps yells.
>Everyone but you and Rainbow runs towards Crystal Prep Academy’s swimming pool, for both teams to get ready for the upcoming events.
>”Hey…thanks a lot for that dude,” Rainbow Dash says before lightly punching your arm, “I was starting to feel down as well.”
>You only let out a dumb chuckle.
>”Come on man! They are waiting for us!” Rainbow Dash says before running towards the pool.
“W-wait for me Dash!” You say before you start running after her.
>Unbeknownst to you, Zephyr Breeze was watching you talk to Rainbow Dash.
>He grits his teeth.
>(”Anon…I’ve warned you about her already,”) he says under his breath.
>Then, he cracks his knuckles.
>(“If you keep going with this…you’re gonna be sorry.”)

>Some time later.
>You and your team sit on the designated bench that reads “Canterlot High School,” next to Crystal Prep Academy’s bench.
>You hear plenty of jeers directed at your team coming from Crystal Prep Academy fans.
>Both Pleasantview High and Croix Bleue High’s fans join the jeering as well.
>”Wha-what’s gotten into them?” Trixie asks feeling somewhat dumbfounded.
>”Just ignore them…” Rainbow Dash says to Trixie.
>(”Or you could just follow their advice instead and run back home to your mommies.”)
>Who was that?
>Rainbow Dash turns her head and squints.
>“Sour Sweet…” she says with a frown.
>Wow…all of a sudden you feel a strong energy coming from both of them.
“Uh, Sunset?”
>”That’s Sour Sweet…Crystal Prep’s Top Athlete and CPA’s captain,” Sunset explains to you, “she’s also Rainbow’s Rival.”
>Rainbow puts on a smug grin.
>”Hey Sour Sweet, I think you’re in the wrong place…the anger management seminar is gonna take place next week.”
>Sour Sweet flinches at Rainbow’s comment.
>You gulp.
>”Oh yeah?! Weren’t you the mad one after our team beat you in soccer’s semifinals last term?”
“They both look like they are gonna get into a catfight soon…we should stop them!”
>”Shh…”
>”What was so good about winning anyways if Seacrest County High completely destroyed you?” Rainbow Dash replies.
>Sour Sweet cracks her knuckles and approaches Rainbow Dash…menacingly!
>Rainbow Dash takes her jacket off and walks towards Sour Sweet.
“Is no one going to stop them?!”
>”Relax Nonny…” Pinkie Pie says with a giggle.
“Relax?! Are you serious Pinkie? I’m not gonna sit here and watch!”
>You stand up and go after Rainbow.
“Dash! Don’t!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPewWjkkJDQ
>”Good to see you girl!” Sour Sweet says with a smile.
>”Same!” Rainbow Dash says before greeting Sour Sweet with a high five, “I’ve been looking forward to this to finally face off against you once again Sour Sweet!”
“H-huh?!”
>You stop on your tracks.
“W-what’s going on?”
>Your team laughs.
>”Relax Anon…” Sunset Shimmer says, “they might be rivals but they are pretty good friends actually.”
>Sunset stands up and so does the rest of the team.
>”In fact, all of us are!”
>Fluttershy, Applejack…heck, every member of Rainbow’s group of friends stands up to greet some members of the Shadowbolts.
>They…look kinda similar to Rainbow’s friends.
>”Hey Twilight! How’s Canterlot treatin’ ya?” A girl with blue hair asks while ruffling Twilight’s hair.
>”F-fine! Just fine!” Twilight replies before adjusting her glasses from the intense shake the blue haired girl gave to her.
“So…you’re not going to fight?”
>”Like, why would we do that?” Sour Sweet says.
>Goodness, and you thought Rainbow and Sour Sweet were gonna tear each other apart.
>”Excuse the green boy, he’s new…” Rainbow Dash says to Sour Sweet.
>”What were you thinking dude? You wanted to be a hero or something?” Sour Sweet laughs at you.
>How embarrassing…
>”Haw haw…he turned red already, how cute.”
>This girl gives you the heebie-jeebies.
>”What happened to your team Rainbow Dash? 4th place?! Don’t tell me you don’t want to advance to the Round of sixteen?” Sour Sweet asks.
>”Of course we want that, we just had a bad start…that’s all!”
>”You better have an ace under your sleeve Dash, otherwise you need a miracle.”
>”Course I do…” Rainbow Dash says before giving you a brief look.
>”Look! The event’s going to start!” A Shadowbolt girl says.
>“Very well then, may the best team win Sour Sweet!” Rainbow Dash says.
>”We’re gonna wait for you in the final right?” Sour Sweet asks.
>”Not if we get there first!” Rainbow Dash assures.

>You turn your head to your left and find Sandy from Pleasantview High giving instructions to her elder sister Mirage.
>(“I still think you should wear another swimsuit sis…if dad sees you wearing that he won’t like it at all.”)
>(“Relax sis…you worry too much,”) The blondie confidently says before walking towards the pool covering her body with a large towel.
>Sandy sighs and sits next to her boyfriend Bell, who looks like he’s just there to support her girlfriend.
>You spot Nelly as well, sitting next to Bell.
>She’s looking just as cute as the first time you saw her.
>As soon as she notices you were staring at her she quickly averts her eyes from your gaze.
“Hey Nelly!”
>(“Look sis! It’s that kid you couldn’t stop talking about…aren’t you gonna talk to him?”) Sandy teases.
>(“S-sis! Don’t say that out loud!”) Nelly begs her sister Sandy.
>Bell tries his best to stifle a laugh.
>(“Come on sis…don’t be shy, just say hi to him.”)
>Cute.
>Nelly’s gaze finally meets yours and she shyly waves at you.
>(”H-hi Anon!”)
>CUTE!
>(”Focus on the match Nelly!” Artic Thunder yells at Nelly, (“why are you giving googly eyes to that Canterlot High jerk in the first place?”)
>(“Leave her be Artic!”) Sandy stands up for her sister, (“you shouldn’t be here anyways, get going!“)
>(“Pssh…”) Artic Thunder turns around and heads to the pool.
>Sheesh…What’s that guy’s problem? He’s just like Zephyr Breeze.

>Flash Sentry and the rest of the players representing each team stand up on the steps by the swimming pool and await for the official to blow her whistle.
>When the referee blows the whistle, all hell breaks loose.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yGJx_QEbqo
>Croix Bleue takes the first place.
>Flash Sentry looks like he’s struggling.
>”Go Flash! GO!” Twilight cheers for him, “you can do it!”
>Somehow, Twilight’s words really inspired Flash Sentry to swim faster.
>Flash Sentry quickly overtakes the Croix Bleue swimmer and takes first place.
>As soon as he arrives to the end of the pool he does an amazing flip and uses his legs to push himself as farthest as possible.
>Artic Thunder from Pleasantview High quickly catches up to him by doing the same maneuver and overtakes him.
>”Dang…” Rainbow Dash says.
>The times are registered and then shown on the big flat screen Crystal Prep often brags about.
>Flash touched the panel 2 seconds after Artic Thunder.
>Heath Burns’ turn.
>He swims as quickly as possible, then returns when he reaches the end of the pool.
>”Good! Keep going guys!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>It’s now Bulk Biceps turn.
>”YEAAAAAAAAH!” He lets out his characteristic war cry and jumps right into the pool with his ‘uncouth’ way like Rarity would say.
>The water splashes the other swimmers as well and makes them lose focus.
>”Good job big guy!” Applejack yells.
>Man, that guy moves with so little grace, but…seeing how he’s splashing so much water thus making it harder for the rivals to swim is certainly quite the advantage.
 “You think that’s great? Just you wait guys, Sonata and Aria will blow away the competition…”
>There’s no response coming from your teammates.
“Uh, guys?”
>”M-Mirage’s swimming suit…” Sandal Wood barely manages to say.
“Huh?”
>As soon as you turn to see Mirage…
>Holy smokes!
>Ringo quickly places a towel on his lap.
>Brawly Beats can’t stop himself from taking pictures.
>You look at Sandy’s sister wearing quite the patriotic…yet skimpy swimsuit.
>”That must be against the rules!” Rarity says, “this is outrageous! Isn’t that right dearie?”
“…”
>”Anon? Darling?”
“Wha-? Oh! Y-yeah! It…must be I think.”
>Rarity pulls on your right ear with her left hand.
“Oww! Rarity?!”
>”I can’t believe you Anonymous!” Rarity scolds, “is that all you think about?!”
>Mirage enters the pool as soon as Bulk Biceps reaches the end of the pool.
>As soon as Bulk Biceps steps out of the swimming pool, he asks Sonata to do her best.
>”I know big guy,” Sonata says and teases Bulk Biceps by patting his cheek.
>Sonata drops her towel to stretch her body quickly before diving head first into the pool.
“WOW! Did everyone see that?!” You say, impressed by-
>Rarity pulls on your ear again.
“OWW! Rarity!”
>”What? Sonata or Mirage’s skimpy swimsuit?”
“Sonata’s…technique!”
>Rarity lets go of your ear.
>”Why yes darling…she’s quite the fast swimmer.”
>Sonata passes by Mirage and saves Canterlot valuable seconds.
>As soon as she emerges from the pool she raises her hand to receive a high five from Aria.
>”Don’t leave me hangin’ Ari!”
>Aria rolls her eyes and dives into the swimming pool.
>Sonata crosses her arms and lets out a cute ‘hmph!’
>When will those two get along?

>Moments later.
>Aria emerges from the swimming pool.
>The swimming pool event has ended.
>The officials are comparing the times.
>…
>The scores show up on the big screen.
>Canterlot High is now in…SECOND PLACE!
>http://picosong.com/wyGhN/
>”YEAH! WE DID IT!” Pinkie Pie yells, “GOOOOOOO WONDERCOLTS!”
“What did I tell you Sonata? Both you and Aria are great! And you actually wanted to quit…”
>”Aww Nonny…” Sonata says, “you truly thought we were gonna win…thank you.”
>”Yeah, thanks for the support newbie!” Aria grabs your head and gives you a noogie, “you better win in relay race as well! Or else…”
>”Ahaha, ok Aria…can you please let go of me?”
>This is great!
>If you keep up the results, you might actually qualify.
>”Your team’s good Rainbow Dash…” Sour Sweet says to your team’s captain, “but ours is better!”
>”In your dreams maybe,” Rainbow replies to Sour Sweet with a smug grin on her face, “maybe we will be the ones who’ll win this competition after all!”

>It seems that Superintendent Discord wasn’t expecting those results.
>He looks quite displeased.
>However, Celestia and Luna can’t believe it either.
>Superintendent Discord clears his throat, and speaks onto the microphone in front of him.
>(”Well, that’s the end of the second round, Canterlot High is back on the game with quite an impressive comeback if I say so myself, despite their weak start…”)
>Principal Celestia puts on a smug grin on her face.
“Oh, so she’s proud of our team now?”
>”I know right?” Sunset Shimmer adds, “for a moment I thought she’d ask us to get in the bus and leave…”
>”Just ignore her you guys,” Pinkie Pie says, “you’re not doing this for her…you’re supposed to show everyone here who’s boss!”
>(”The High Diving event will begin in five minutes!”) Superintendent Discord announces on the speakers, (“get your team ready and plan the tactics…for this event the height of the diving board will be a factor for the grading, you know…the higher your divers are willing to climb the ladders and dive, the better grades you’ll get!”)
>You all take a look at the Shadowbolts’ High Diving boards.
>”T-they are pretty high…” Zephyr Breeze says.
>”Yeah…they are even higher than the diving boards in Croix Bleue High’s,” Applejack says.
>”E-eeeyup…” Her brother adds, looking quite nervous.
>”Good thing you belong in the relay race team isn’t that right Big Mac? Applejack says with a chuckle.
>http://picosong.com/wRMYf/
>”Okay guys…this is it, we’re counting on you to make a bigger difference in the scoreboard because Pleasantview High is gaining on us!” Rainbow Dash says.
>The High Diving team looks baffled.
>”Hey now, don’t tell me you’re all afraid of heights…” Rainbow Dash says in disbelief.
>”Of course not captain!” Brawly Beats says, “we’re fine…ain’t that right boys?”
>”YEAH!” Everyone but Zephyr Breeze says at the same time.
>”I’m glad to hear that…you guys have trained a lot for this day; you might as well try going for a high score and use the tallest one,” Rainbow says while pointing at the largest one.
>They make their way towards the high diving boards.
>Zephyr Breeze gulps down some saliva.
>”Zeph?”
>”Y-yes Rainbow Dash?”
>”I…” Rainbow Dash struggles to mutter the rest of her phrase, “I’m c-counting on you…”
>Zephyr Breeze raises both his eyebrows in surprise.
>”Good! So…if I win will you go out with me?“
>”THERE’S NO WAY THAT’LL HAPPEN! JUST GO THERE AND WIN!” Rainbow Dash yells at him.
>”We’ll see about that honey…” He says with a smile before joining the rest of the team at the board.
>This guy…
>You take a look at Fluttershy.
>She looks quite embarrassed over the actions of her eccentric brother.
>Twilight pulls out the official rulebook for the qualifiers and reads this event’s rules.
>“So…each contestant has to dive three times in the least amount of time. The captain will arrange the order of the divers. So! Rainbow Dash, you should go tell the officials the order of the divers.”
>”One step ahead of you Twi…I already handed out the papers to the officials…Zeph is gonna be the last one in the list,” Rainbow Dash confidently says, “that way he’ll be able to focus while he waits for his turn to dive.”
>”Good thinking Rainbow Dash!” Twilight compliments the team’s captain.
>(“The order of divers will go like this…”) Superintendent Discord announces, (“Crystal Prep Academy, Pleasantview High, Croix Bleue High and lastly…Canterlot High.”)
>Huh, he didn’t look so happy when he mentioned your school.
>You wonder what Celestia did to him in the past.
>A Crystal Prep student starts climbing the ladder, but stops in the midway and walks on the medium-range diving board.
>”Go Fleur-de-Lis!” Sour Sweet says.
>Fleur-de-Lis dives…nothing too complex or eye-opening.
>She gets 7’s and 8’s from the officials…and a +30 bonus from the height.
>The highest board gives +60 additional points.
>Next, Pleasantview High.
>A guy climbs up the ladder and goes straight for the same diving board the girl from Crystal Prep used.
>…
>There he goes.
>6’s and 7’s from the officials, +30 bonus.
>The Prattle sisters clap for the guy.
>Next…a Croix Bleue girl.
>Same dive, takes no risk, instead she climbs to a higher platform.
>Bad execution, 5s and 6s from the officials. +40 bonus.
>Pearl Blossom smacks her face with her right palm.
>”Heh…it’s time for Brawly Beats to beat their scores,” Rainbow Dash brags.
>Brawly Beats goes straight towards the highest platform.
>And lastly…he dives.
>Sadly, he splashes a lot of water…giving him 2’s and 3’s from the officials.
>”WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash protests.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTjiqPyblC0
>”I see…” Twilight says, “it is way more difficult to dive from the highest platform than from the other ones. The bonus might sound tempting…but the height is reserved only for the best divers.”
>”What’s the matter Rainbow Dash?” Sour Sweet teases, “you actually thought that diving in the public pool was the same thing as this? Hah! Don’t make me laugh…”
>The rest of the Shadowbolts laugh at her.
>”Grrrr….” Rainbow Dash grits her teeth.
>”Hah, we’re so gonna win this event…” Mirage from Pleasantview High says, “thanks for that Canterlot High!”
>This is totally not good.
>Twilight takes notes and makes quick calculations…
>”We’re in last place, the others should forget about the highest platform for now and let Zephyr Breeze handle it by himself.”
>You take a look at Zephyr Breeze…he looks quite nervous.

>Brawly Beats swims closer to the pool’s side.
>”S-sorry Rainbow Dash…I couldn’t-“
>Rainbow Dash reaches out to him and helps him get out of the pool.
>”It’s cool Beats,” Rainbow Dash says with a straight smile on her face, “you did what you could…don’t worry though, you still have two dives left, why don’t you all leave the highest platform to Zephyr Breeze?”
>Brawly Beats smiles.
>”Yeah, you’re right captain…Zephyr Breeze will totally blow the competition away.”
>You can only hope they’re not wrong.
>The cycle continues.
>Crystal Prep’s Lemon Zest dives gracefully, but from a very safe distance, so less points for her.
>Pleasantview High’s Mighty Wave messes up from a higher distance, much to Sandy’s dismay.
“It was a good try!” You say in a sportsmanlike, non-mocking way.
>Sandy agrees with you.
>Croix Bleue’s Coconut Milk goes next with a very simple dive.
>And lastly goes Curly Winds…which dives in a graceful way, awarding him good points from the officials.
>Phew…
>”According to my calculations, we’d be in third place thanks to Curly Wind’s dive…” Twilight says while holding her TI calculator.
>The dives go on and on…
>Both Ringo and Sandal Wood went for a safe dive and got 7’s and 8’s respectively.
>Time for the last player of each team to dive for the first round.
>Crystal Prep Academy goes first.
>”Okay Zephyr…time for you to shine,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Oh yeah…yeah, don’t you worry about me Rainbow Dash!” Zephyr Breeze says.
>”You okay dude? You look kinda…pale.”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SgT5dBvG5g
>”Me? Psssh, you must be imagining things,” Zephyr Breeze says with a very awkward chuckle.
>”According to my calculations…we can go waaaay up in the rankings if you dive from the highest platform like you usually do Zeph,” Twilight says, “are you up for the challenge?”
>”T-thanks for the info Twilight. O-of course I am!”
>”I hope you’ve had enough time to prepare to jump…remember that time is a bonus as well, the less time players take to dive the more points they’ll get!” Rainbow Dash says.
>Croix Bleue’s player Twisted Luck goes all the way up to the highest platform.
>”Don’t mess up Twisted Luck!” Pearl Blossom yells.
>Zephyr Breeze looks at the diver who…much to Pearl Blossom’s dismay, executes a horrible dive.
>All he got were 0’s from the officials and booing from the crowd.
>(“Next up: Zephyr Breeze…of Canterlot High.”) Superintendent Discord says.
>”Hurry up! They’re calling you Zeph!”
>”R-roger…”
>Zephyr Breeze starts to climb the long ladder…
>”Huh, perhaps I was wrong about Zephyr Breeze,” Rainbow Dash says.
“Really? How so?”
>”You know, the guy is doing all this to impress and hit on me.”
>You let out a chuckle,
>”And even though he’s annoying…I gotta give him credit, he never gives up.”
“Sooo…are you considering to date him?” You mockingly say.
>”Eww…don’t be gross Anon,” Rainbow Dash shoves you before letting out a chuckle, “what’s wrong with you?”
“What? Just sayin’…he really seems to like you.”
>Rainbow Dash fixes her hair.
>”Yeah…he’s not that bad I guess, if only he could be a little less…him, then I-”
”He hasn’t reached the top yet? That must be quite a long ladder don’t you think?”
>Rainbow looks at the highest platform.
>”That’s weird…”
>Ten seconds later you spot him getting near to the top.
>”Come on Zeph! What’s taking so long?”
>Rainbow Dash looks at the stopwatch.
>”There goes our bonus points…ZEPH! Quick! Jump already!”
>Zephyr Breeze approaches the end of the platform as slow as possible.
>Everyone in your team looks worried.
>”I-Is he gonna be okay coach?” Heath Burns says.
>”He looks…sick,” Applejack adds.
>”Eeeeyup,” Her brother comments.
>”The Great and Powerful Trixie has a baaaad feeling about this,” Trixie says.
>Fluttershy gasps.
>”H-he lied to me!”
>Everyone turns around and looks at Fluttershy.
>”Huh? What was that Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>”Zephyr Breeze said…that he was already over it-“
>”Over what?!” Rainbow Dash interrupts.
>(“Must I remind you the rules of this event young man?”) Superintendent Discord says on the mic, (“You have to dive!”)
>”Zephyr Breeze is afraid of heights!”
>”WHAT?!” Everyone in your team yells at the same time.
>Zephyr Breeze looks like he’s struggling to breathe.
>”I-I can’t do it!” Zephyr Breeze yells from the highest platform before turning around and climbing down the ladder.
>You run towards the dressing room.
>Fluttershy quickly runs towards Zephyr Breeze to help him with his panic attack.
>The other teammates look like they want to kick Zephyr’s head in.
>”What do you mean he’s afraid of heights Fluttershy?! I demand an explanation Zeph!”
>”Don’t yell at him Rainbow Dash! Can’t’ you see how scared he is right now?!” Fluttershy says.
>(“If there’s no fifth diver then I’m afraid we’ll have to penalize Canterlot High!”) Superintendent Discord announces.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-Tx1lXeJk
>”Penalize?! H-how?!”
>Twilight quickly grabs her rulebook out of her backpack.
>”The rulebook says…that if a diver can’t jump or refuses to jump off the platform then the rest of the team will be penalized as well…” Twilight gasps, “all their points will be deducted!”
>”Wh-who wrote these rules?!” Lyra asks in disbelief.
>Superintendent Discord looks pleased…
>”W-what do we do now Twilight?!” Applejack asks.
>”Perhaps we could switch Zephyr Breeze for another player…” Twilight says as she flips through the book’s pages, “Yes! We actually can! Who’s willing to take Zephyr’s place?” Twilight asks.
>Everyone looks at each other, looking quite uneasy.
>”This is all so sudden…” Sunset Shimmer says before gulping down some saliva.
>”I-I’ve never dived in my life,” Tennis Match says.
>”I’m already inscribed in the Relay-Race team Rainbow, so are you…” Applejack says.
>”I don’t think I can help more this time around Rainbow Dash,” Sonata says, “I’m very tired…”
>”Why don’t we beat Zephyr to his senses?!” Aria says while cracking her fists.
>”Don’t! Leave him alone Aria!” Fluttershy begs.
>(“Canterlot High? Have you found a replacement yet?”) Superintendent Discord asks.
>”That’s it! We’re done…” Rainbow Dash says.
>(“Very well then…it is ‘sad’ for me to announce that Canterlot High will be…what?”)
>Rainbow Dash and the rest of the team turn around and see you handing out a paper to the officials.
>The officials accept the change.
>(“Tch…very well then. It seems Anonymous will take Zephyr Breeze’s place.”)
>Your team goes wild, and so does your high school’s crowd.
>You approach the platform.
>”Dude…thank you so much,” Rainbow Dash says.
>You only nod and start climbing the ladder.
>http://picosong.com/wyvyw/
>Sheesh…this is quite a long ladder.
>It’s windy over here…it sends a chill to your spine.
>Nevertheless…you won’t back down.
>The team really needs the bonus points, and you’ll do your best to dive like a pro.
>As soon as you reach the platform, you head straight to the end of it and dive.
>…
>…
>…
>You reach the water in a very fancy way, without splashing.
>You emerge from the water and see the official’s score…
>8’s and 9’s…along with the highest platform bonus.
>https://youtu.be/_7fjUEIm60A
>Yeah! You did it!
>The crowd goes wild, so does your team.
>Heck, even Nelly and Mirage support you? Hah!
>Superintendent Discord rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
>Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna celebrate and hug each other.
>You emerge from the pool and Rainbow Dash hugs you tightly.
>”EEEE! You did it Anon! That. Was…AWESOME!”
>You’re all wet and she’s getting all wet as well, but it’s obvious she doesn’t care.
“Haha…thanks Dash.”
>”Dude! H-how did you-“
>Rainbow releases you, but she can’t even form a sentence over her excitement.
>”Like, that was such a sweet dive! How?!”
“Let’s just say that Seacrest County’s Jr. High also has diving platforms just like these…” You say with a chuckle.
>”Look at all those points! How are we doing Twilight?!”
>”We’re currently in 2nd place!” Twilight happily replies, “Excellent work Anon!”
>”I never thought I’d be happy to hear that…EEEK!”
>Rainbow Dash can’t stop hugging you, then she turns to Zephyr Breeze.
>”Zeph?”
>”Y-yes Rainbow?”
>“Go home already…we don’t need you anymore,” Rainbow Dash says, hugging you once again, “Anon here will take it from here!”
>Zephyr Breeze looks so…angry.
>”I-I…FINE!”
>He turns around and storms out of Crystal Prep’s pool.
>Fluttershy goes after him.

>You’re now Zephyr Breeze.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEozRLcAp9U
>You can’t believe what just happened…
>Your beautiful Dashie hugged that literal nobody right in front of your face!
>GRRR! Oh how you hate him!
>He made you look like the biggest fool in the world!
>You can swear he’s doing it on purpose…
>He jumped off the highest diving board just to impress Rainbow Dash!
>He’s gonna be sorry…
>”Zephyr!”
>You turn your head over your shoulder.
“Hey sis…”
>”Are you okay?” Your sister Fluttershy asks.
“No sis! It’s terrible!”
>You place your head on Fluttershy’s shoulder, expecting her to comfort you.
>Fluttershy hesitates, but finally ends up patting your head.
“I blew it didn’t I sis? Rainbow Dash totally hates me now.”
>”What? Don’t say that little bro, Rainbow Dash doesn’t hate you…”
“B-but-“
>”Don’t mind what Rainbow Dash said; you know how tough she can get in these competitions, she would’ve said the same to anyone else, not you specifically…”
>You pout.
>”I feel you’re not being completely honest about your feelings Zephyr, what else is on your mind?“
“To be honest? Anon…I mean, he made a fool out of me! He wanted the spotlight and humiliated me in the process!” You blurt out.
>Fluttershy giggles.
>”Oh Zephyr…don’t be ridiculous, Anon-“
“Anon wants to steal Rainbow Dash from me! I know it! All those lame jokes he tells when she’s around…how she bumps her fist against his shoulder! GRR! I can’t take it anymore sis! If I see Anon next to Rainbow Dash again then-”
>”Zephyr! Calm down!” Your sister scolds.
“S-sis?”
>Fluttershy sighs and stops hugging you.
>”Oh Zephyr…I’m very disappointed of you.”
“WHAT?!”
>”Not only did you make me beg Rainbow Dash to let you be a part of the team, you also lied to me by telling me you weren’t afraid of heights anymore; even with all that practice…you never cared for the team did you? You did this to try to impress Rainbow Dash!”
“…”
>Fluttershy turns around and crosses her arms.
>”I’m going back to the pool…you better think on a way to apologize to the team, especially to Anon; considering how rude you’ve been to him when all he wanted was to be your friend.”
>Fluttershy returns to the pool. Leaving you all by yourself.
>Fantastic!
>Even your sister likes that douchebag!
>Could things get even worse?!
>And now he’s gonna participate in the Relay Race event…great.
>You can picture Rainbow Dash hugging him once again after he wins, yeah…even to that blondie from Pleasantview High.
>You take a look at the Relay Race track.
>But what if…
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5O_W8yDig4
>…Anon finished the race in last place?
>You look at a bunch of equipment left behind by the organizers beneath the bleachers.
>A wire catches your attention.
>You put on an evil smile.
 “Ohohoho…let’s see if you like being humiliated instead Anon!” you say to yourself.

>Minutes pass by…
>You’re Anon once again.
>This is it…the last dive.
>You breathe in and look at your friends.
>They look so tiny from this platform.
>”Good luck dearie!” Rarity shouts from below before blowing you a kiss.
>Ahh…Rares~
>You gain more courage and finally jump off the platform.
>…
>…
>Done!
>As soon as you emerge from the pool you’re greeted with good scores from the officials.
>[“Well…I guess that settles it. Let’s take a look at the scoreboard!”] Superintendent Discord says on the microphone.
>He clears his throat and reads out loud the places.
>[“1st place! Crystal Prep Academy…with 812 points!”]
>[“2nd place! Wait…really? Canterlot High with 717 points!”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNONhzR1wTU
>The crowd supporting you goes wild.
>”YEEEEEAH!” Bulk Biceps yells.
>Lyra and Sweetie Drops hug each other.
>Superintendent Discord doesn’t look pleased by your school’s results.
>However, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna can’t stop smiling!
>Principal Celestia herself gives you a thumbs up.
>[“3rd place! Pleasantview High with…692 points!”]
>[“And last but not least…Croix Bleue High, 294 points…ouch.”]
>Pearl Blossom looks like she could explode any minute from now on.
>Rainbow Dash can’t believe it herself.
>”Guys! There’s no way we can lose now!”
>”Uhh…Rainbow Dash?” Twilight interrupts, ”Pleasantview High is gaining on us…”
>”Oh don’t worry about them, there’s no way Nelly or Sandy can beat us! Why? Because Anon and I are gonna participate in the Relay Race!”
“D-don’t forget about Mac, Cloudy, AJ and Sunset captain…”
>”Wha? Oh yeah yeah…say dude, you aren’t tired right? You can take part in the last event right?”
“I’m fine Rainbow…it’s just water.”
>Rainbow Dash smiles before letting out a fangirl squeal.
>”EEEE! We got this! Prepare yourselves Pleasantview High! ‘cuz we’re going all out!”
>[“Very well, everyone back to the race track!”] Superintendent Discord says on the speaker, [“we’ll finally know the two winners from Group A that will face the other schools!”]
>Parents, supporters and officials stand up and head to the bleachers next to the relay-race track.
>You spot a man putting a towel on Mirage Prattle as he scolds her.
>That guy must be her dad.
>Nelly and Sandy laugh at Mirage’s expense.
>(“You warned her sis…”)
>(“Yep, and she didn’t listen…”)
>Nelly breathes in.
>(“You sure you can handle this sis?”) Sandy asks.
>Nelly just nods.
>She looks kinda nervous.
>(“We’re almost there…don’t blow this up like you usually do Nelly!”) Artic Thunder says to Nelly.
>(“Leave her alone you big bully!”) Sandy yells at the rather unpleasant teammate before turning to her sister, (“don’t listen to him sis.”)
>(“Pssh…whatever.”)
>That guy can’t stop bothering poor and frail Nelly…you better go talk to her.

>Minutes later.
>Everyone is waiting for the event to start.
>Parents are getting something to eat, while others encourage their children.
>Applejack and Big Mac are getting cheered on by their little sister and their granny.
>How cute.
>Sunset Shimmer and Cloudy Kicks talk to each other to face the upcoming event with a big smile and lots of confidence.
>Rainbow Dash, Sour Sweet and Sandy Prattle are trash talking each other…
>Pearl Blossom tries to join them, but she ends up getting mocked by the other three at the same time.
>Your team’s captain looks quite confidant on winning this event.
>You feel someone tap your back.
“Hmm?”
>It’s Fluttershy.
“Heya Flutters- what’s going on?“
>”Anon? Have you seen my brother? I can’t find him anywhere!”
“No? I haven’t…”
>”Oh no…where could he be? I hope he didn’t actually go home, every time Rainbow rejects him he doesn’t come out of his room for a week.”
>So you were right, the guy likes Rainbow Dash!
“Sheesh…do you want me to help you find him Flutters?”
>”It’s okay Anon, you better go ahead and get ready for the relay-race…oooh, I hope he’s not mad at me!”
“Why would he be mad at you Flutters?”
>Fluttershy briefly explains what happened earlier.
“Huh…I didn’t know he felt like that about me.”
>”Don’t mind him Anon…all you need to do now is focus, I’ll take care of Zephyr, if I can find him that is.”
>You let out a chuckle.
“Alrighty then. Good luck with that Fluttershy.”
>She smiles at you and resumes her search.
>”Zephyr?” She says, “Zephyr?”
>That guy sure is annoying.
>You can’t believe how someone like him can be related to poor Fluttershy.
>As soon as you turn to face the track you spot Nelly, the shy girl from Pleasantview High sitting all by herself under the shadow of a tree.
>She looks quite sad.
>You walk towards her.
“…Nelly? Is everything okay?”
>”Hey Anon…” she forces herself to reply, “not really.”
>http://picosong.com/wq8FJ/
“What’s wrong?”
>”It’s just…we’re in third place, and my whole team, including my sisters, are counting on me.”
>You keep listening to her.
>”I’m soooo nervous, I feel like everyone is watching and judging me with their stares…it’s bad enough when my teammates do nothing but mock me every day.”
“You really hate taking part on this don’t you?”
>She shyly nods.
>”I know what you’re thinking…the reason is simple, Sandy begged me to join the team. I couldn’t say no to her! After all…both her and Mirage have stood up against meanies for me ever since I was little.”
“I noticed…how come your teammates keep mocking you, even under these circumstances?”
>”Well…I-I don’t know how I should say this without sounding too conceited, but- I’ve been at top of the class, ever since I was little.”
“Ahh…yeah, I understand you perfectly.”
>”Y-you do?”
“Yeah…I mean, for some people it seems that you aren’t allowed to enjoy different things such as computers and-”
>”-Music?” Nelly says with a smile.
“Oh! You play an instrument?”
>She nods.
>”I play the piano, and the guitar…what about you Anon?”
>Two instruments? This girl is gifted!
“Nah…” you say with a chuckle, “if I played the violin again then people would rather jump off a building than hear how I destroy the innocence of music instead.”
>Nelly lets out a cute giggle.
>You’re glad your parents didn’t insist with the violin anymore.
>Instead…you got enrolled in Seacrest County Jr. High’s soccer team.
>”Yeah…the problem is, everyone at school play mean pranks on me, they call me a weirdo, and lots of nasty stuff as well.”
“Sounds a lot like my former school, you should totally come to Canterlot High! Everyone’s very friendly! Even to the likes of me…”
>Nelly looks at Pinkie Pie, who is telling jokes to the rest of the team, keeping their spirits up.
>”Huh…would you look at that.”
“That girl over there is Twilight Sparkle. Everyone loves her despite being quite the egghead.”
>”It sounds nice…”
“Trust me, it is. I thought I had to keep a low profile when I moved to Canterlot…but in less than a week I’m part of their sports team.”
>Nelly puts on a smile.
“So…I noticed there’s that guy who just can’t keep himself from bothering you. How come?”
>”Oh, Artic Thunder? Yeah…he can’t help himself but call me names and bother me by ripping pages of my notebooks, making me trip on the hallways, he’s very childish. I don’t like him at all!”
“You said you refused to be his Fall Formal date that one time right?”
>Nelly nods.
>“Of course, he wasn’t that bad before that day…but ever since I turned him down his pranks have become more and more intense.”
>Sheesh, that guy really needs to listen to Can You Forgive Her?.
“Jeez. If he’s like that I don’t know why your sister Sandy let him in on the team.”
>”He’s quite skilled…that’s all. I mean, you did see how he beat your teammate in the swimming pool right?”
“I guess…”
>”Even though everyone is counting on me to win, I feel like they want me to fail.”
“R-really?”
>”The nerd with the perfect grades finally failed at something?!” She mimics, “Yeah…that’s how I think they feel about me. I’m sorry Anon, you’re a cool guy and all…but I gotta win this race!”
“I see…you know what? You totally should!”
>http://picosong.com/wq8yM/
>“Huh?! B-but Anon! How can you say that? W-we’re enemies!”
“We are? I’d rather be your friend…”
>Nelly looks so conflicted right now.
“What you’re doing right now speaks very well of you. You’re very determined, even if you don’t like sports that much you won’t let people talk you down, your sisters trust you so much.”
>You wish you had that same determination to survive in Seacrest County Jr. High…
>[“The Relay Race event will start in two minutes! Captains! Gather your teams!”]
>”You won’t let me win will you Anon?”
“No…but I’ll make you give your 110%, sounds fair don’t you think?”
>Nelly puts on a cocky smile and then stands up.
>”Well see about that.”
>She gives you her hand to help you stand up.
>”Come on, the race is about to start!”

>You’re now Zephyr Breeze.
>You’re hiding inside a bush, pretty close to the finish line.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD_BDRrZPY0
>You have in your possession a neat and very thin steel wire some workers left behind.
>The plan is simple.
>As soon as Anon almost reaches the finish line, you’ll throw this baby directly at his feet.
>From first place…to fourth!
>You know your team has enough points to qualify…however, him failing at what Rainbow trusted him the most will expose him as the fraud he is.
>How wonderful!
>You even rub your hands at the thought of her going nuclear at him.
>Perhaps she’ll even fire him from the team!
>How wonderful!
>[“Very well teams, this is the last event!”] Superintendent Discord announces on the microphone, [“The captains will start the race, then the other five remaining members shall wait in their place for the baton.”]
>It’s going to start!
>You look through the bleachers, trying to see the track between some guy’s legs.
>There she is…Rainbow Dash.
>Then, you take a look at the wire.
>…Is sabotaging your own team justifiable just to get back at Anon?
>You watch Rainbow Dash talking to Anon, before letting out a giggle.
>GRRR!
>YES IT IS!
>You asked for this Anon!
>[“Everyone ready?!”] Superintendent Discord asks.
>An official raises a revolver and fires a blank.
>The crowd goes wild!
>Your queen, Rainbow Dash runs as fast as ever.
>That Sandy girl is no match for your Dashie.
>Sour Sweet is left behind by Sandy as well.
>Pearl Blossom…is still in 4th place.
>Wow…Croix Bleue sucks.
>Rainbow Dash passes the baton to Cloudy Kicks.
>What a race!
>Cloudy Kicks runs quickly.
>Wow, it seems Canterlot is quite inspired this time.
>After a whole lap, Cloudy hands the baton to Sunset Shimmer.
>Sunset Shimmer to Applejack.
>And Applejack to Big Mac.
>Canterlot High has been in the lead for the whole race!
>…Even better!
>All Anon had to do was go through the finish line!
>But he won’t be able to stand up when he trips with this beauty.
>Anon grabs the baton from Big Mac’s hand.
>The blondie from Pleasantview High grabs the baton from her teammate immediately afterwards.
>T-they’re fast!
>The blondie is gaining on Anon, but he won’t let her pass him.
>You’ll make things easier for the poor thing.
>Here he comes.
>This is it…goodbye Anon!
>You throw the steel wire onto the track and then close your eyes.
>[”EEEEK!”]
>Ha! Suck on that Anon! He even screamed like a girl!
”Wait…what?”
>You hear jeers coming from Pleasantview High’s crowd.
>”Nelly!” Anon yells before stopping on his tracks.
>[“ANON?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”] Rainbow Dash yells at Anon.
>You open your eyes and find the blondie on the floor, with both hands on a bloody knee.
>[”IT HURTS!”] The blondie yells.
>Anon runs back towards her.
>[“ANON?! ANON!”] Your teammates yell at him.
>Now Canterlot High’s crowd starts to jeer at Anon.
>Croix Bleue’s athlete runs through the finish line.
>Followed by Crystal Prep’s athlete.
>[“AWW COME ON!”] Rainbow Dash yells, [“WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOIN’ NEWBIE?!”]
>Anon checks up on Nelly.
>[“That doesn’t look good…some idiot left a steel wire loose on the track.”]
>Grrr…
>[“Told ya she was useless…”] Artic Thunder from Pleasantview High says, [“HEY NELLY! GUESS WHAT? YOU BLEW IT AGAIN!”]
>The girl starts to cry.
>[“Don’t listen to him Nelly…may I?”]
>[“Huh?”]
>What is he gonna do?!
>Anon picks up Nelly on his arms and walks her to the finish line.
>http://picosong.com/wq8et/
>[“A-Anon?”] Nelly says as a blush starts to form on her face.
>[“Hey…it wasn’t your fault okay? You didn’t fail Nelly. Your team failed you instead…they were supposed to support you.”]
>The crowd goes silent.
>People start taking photographs of the incident.
>A few claps are heard at first.
>Then the whole crowd applauds Anon’s actions.
>No.
>NO!
>THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!
>[“Now that’s true sportsmanship!”] Superintendent Discord says on the microphone.
>Nelly crosses the finish line first, held in Anon’s arms of course.
>Then Anon crosses it.
>The crowd goes wild…
>Congratulations moron, you made Anon even more popular.

>Relay Race
>Croix Bleue High: 1st place.
>Crystal Prep Academy: 2nd place.
>Pleasantview High: 3rd place.
>Canterlot High: 4th place.

>You take a look at your former (?) teammates.
>They look quite conflicted.
>Rainbow Dash approaches Anon menacingly and raises her palm as if she were to slap him…but stops herself from doing so.
>Instead, she lets out a sigh, and walks away.
>Sandy quickly approaches Anon and her sister.
>(“I’ll take it from here…Anon, right?”)
>(“Yeah…that’s right.”)
>Sandy helps Anon to place her sister on the ground.
>She complains a little, her knee doesn’t look too well.
>[“Very well…now it’s time to decide the winners, and hand out individual prizes…which will also affect the score!”]
>Thank goodness this nightmare is almost over…

>You’re now Anon.
>Everyone on your team looks quite conflicted.
>Aria looks mad at you, while Sonata can’t stop giggling.
>”That was like…soooo sweet don’t you think Ari?”
>Aria Blaze blushes.
>”N-no! Of course not! You better not make us lose Anon! Or I swear I’ll…”
>”Yeah man! Like, what was that all about?” Flash Sentry asks looking visibly annoyed, “we were gonna make it!”
>”Not cool man,” Ringo says.
”I uh…”
>”Flash, Ringo, take it easy…can’t you see? Anon has walked through the path of enlightenment. he’s seen the way of peace,” Sandal Wood says.
>“Aww don’t feed us that hippy trash Sandal Wood!” Brawly Beats says, “he just wants a piece of that blondie for himself!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOmnZEOVME8
>Uh oh.
>You’re in real trouble.
>What were you thinking?
>You look at the Prattle Sisters.
>Mirage and Sandy are checking up on Nelly.
>You didn’t have to do it…but; why did you?
>Even her teammates are looking after her.
>(“You okay Nelly?”) A girl in her team asks.
>(“I-I think I’ll be fine…”) she replies.
>It looks like her teammates finally cut her some slack.
>You know you did the right thing, but…how are you gonna explain it to your teammates?
>Zephyr Breeze appears all of a sudden, joining your team.
>”Zephyr? Where were you?” Applejack asks.
>”Me? I had to go to the restroom…” Zephyr Breeze says, “I think I missed the last event, sooo…what was the outcome? When are we getting our cup?”
>”We? Excuse me pardner…but, what did YOU do for the team?” Applejack asks.
>Zephyr Breeze gasps.
>”Applejack! I’m shocked! Can’t you be a little more sensitive to an acrophobic? I had to take my time to calm down! A panic attack is quite serious you know…”
>”Tch-“
>No one replies to him.
>”Don’t leave me hangin’…what happened? What’s with all the grim faces?”
>”Well, all Anon had to do was run through the finish line!” Trixie complains, “but that girl from Pleasantview High tripped and hurt her knee…”
>”Oh?”
>”Yeah! And he went back to pick her up!” Tennis Match adds, “Then he walks through the finish line in fourth place!”
>”That’s quite unfortunate…” he says in disbelief, “even when poor Rainbow Dash put all of her trust in you.”
>You clench a fist.
>”Don’t be so mean to him!” Derpy says, “If he weren’t for him we would’ve been penalized in the high diving event!”
>At least Derpy appreciates what you did.
>”He went through all that trouble, at least Anon isn’t afraid of heights…” Sunset Shimmer adds.
>Zephyr Breeze frowns.
>”Indeed! Anonymous did what a true gentleman would,” Rarity adds, “besides, who inspired you all to keep going after you all wanted to quit already after the first event?!”
>R-Rarity…
>[“THE RESULTS ARE UP!”] Superintendent Discord announces on the speaker.
>Everyone looks at the scoreboard.
>[“First Place, with 1073 points…CRYSTAL PREP ACADEMY!”]
>Crystal Prep’s crowd and team celebrate.
>Sour Sweet puts on a smug grin.
>(”Was there ever any doubt?”) She confidently says.
>The suspense is killing you all…
>[“Before we announce the second winner, we’ll say goodbye to the two teams that didn’t make it, au revoir Croix Bleue High!”]
>Pearl Blossom cries.
>(“D-don’t cry Pearly,”) Twisted Luck says, (“t-the next year will be the good one!”)
>The 4th place’s score pops up on the scoreboard.
>[“Now…the team who is in third place, which ‘sadly’ didn’t make it-”]
>Superintendent Discord opens an envelope and puts on an evil grin.
>[“Aww…better luck next year, CANTERLOT HIGH!”]
>https://youtu.be/V4v6vC_ew00
>”WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>”WHAT?!” Principal Celestia and Luna yell at the same time.
>[“CONGRATULATIONS PLEASANTVIEW HIGH! You’re placed second!”]
>Pleasantview High’s team and crowd celebrates as well.
>Except for the Prattle Sisters…
>Nelly even looks quite sad.
>The score appears up on the scoreboard.
>This…can’t be.
>Your team turns on you…
>You see Sonata’s smile turn into a frown.
>Aria Blaze cracks her knuckles.
>”So, we’re out of the games,” Rainbow Dash says.
“I…I-I’m sorry.“
>”Aww…even after ALL those hours spent training,” Zephyr Breeze says, “it seems that Anon couldn’t care less about your efforts.”

“I’m sorry, I truly am…”
>”Oh,” Aria grabs you by your shirt, “you’ll be sorry alright!”
>You close your eyes and wait for Aria’s punch.
>[“Uhh…Superintendent Discord?”] Principal Cadance says, [“Aren’t you forgetting something?”]
>Aria’s fist stops in mid-air.
>Everyone listens to Principal Cadance.
>[“Hmm…and what would that be Ms. Cadance?”]
>[“The Individual Awards of course…they affect the rankings of the teams as well remember?”]
>https://youtu.be/etOHsG-7GTU
>”S-she’s right!” Rainbow Dash says.
>Principal Celestia’s face goes as bright as the sun.
>[“…you’re right Principal Cadance, I completely forgot about them. Silly ol’ me.”¨] Superintendent Discord says.
>Then he turns around and addresses the crowd and students.
>[“Sorry people, but this isn’t over yet. We have different categories for the individual awards, and as Principal Cadance said, these awards affect the score of a team as well.”]
>Superintendent Discord clears his throat.
>[“For the first category:The Council’s Award, it’s given to the captain of the team with the most points. So! Sour Sweet…come over here and pick your award.”]
>Sour Sweet walks to the podium and gets a small trophy painted gold, with an ovation coming from Crystal Prep.
>Their score goes up by 100 points.
>[“Underdog Award…for the player who did their best against all odds, Coconut Milk from Croix Bleue High!”]
>Croix Bleue’s score goes up by 100 points.
>[“Most Aggressive goes to…Artic Thunder of Pleasantview High!”]
>Pleasantview’s score goes up by 100 points.
>[“Most Technical Player goes to…Mirage Prattle of Pleasantview High!”]
>Their score goes up by another 100 points.
>[“Now, the most valuable trophies. The Fair Play Award goes to…Anon,”] Superintendent Discord struggles to say, [“…from Canterlot High!”]
>http://picosong.com/wqBtU/
>”G-guys?!” Rainbow Dash excitedly says.
>Your team’s score goes up by 200 points.
>Wait a sec…
>YOUR TEAM IS IN SECOND PLACE NOW!
>”Dude! What are you waiting for?! Get up there and grab that award!” Rainbow Dash excitedly says.
>You walk up to Superintendent Discord and he hands you your award.
“Thanks Superintendent Discord…”
>“Whatever…” he says.
>You pick up the award.
>”Congratulations Anon,” Principal Cadance says, “you deserve it!”
>Superintendent Discord rips another envelope.
>[“Next up…Most Valuable Player, it goes to…Anon again?!”]
>The crowd goes wild.
>The score goes up by another 300 points.
>Sour Sweet gasps.
>Canterlot High is in first place.
>No one saw this coming…
>Not even you.
>Rainbow Dash looks like she wants to kiss you or something.
>Rarity just bats her pretty eyes at you.
>Your team goes wild.
>Ha, and to think they wanted to murder you earlier.
>Sonata’s smile returns to her beautiful face.
>Flash Sentry and their friends look kinda ashamed of themselves for their false accusations.
>Bulk Biceps is…crying?!
>You grab the second trophy.
>[“And last but not least…for Zephyr Breeze of Canterlot High!”]
>”Hah, about time someone recognized my talents…” Zephyr Breeze happily says, “Prize for what? Moral Support?” He says as he walks towards the Superintendent.
>He grabs the trophy, depicting a guy sitting on a couch and sleeping.
>[“The Most Carried Award…you didn’t participate in an event, so your team gets deducted 250 points.”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1o3koTLWM
>Everyone flips out at Zephyr Breeze, who looks extremely uncomfortable at the situation.
>Your team is back in second place.
>Obviously, Pleasantview High’s students protest because they have been eliminated.
>You return to your team, only to be greeted by their shy faces.
>http://picosong.com/wqBzB/
“What’s wrong guys? We won!” You happily say.
>No one dares to say a word.
>Rarity pushes Rainbow Dash in front of you.
>Rainbow Dash lets out an awkward chuckle.
>”Umm…”
“We made it captain!”
>”No dude…you did it, we pulled it through because of you.”
>”We’re sorry Anon…” Sonata says, “isn’t that right Ari?”
>[“….yeah, sorry Anon.”]
>You laugh.
“For what? We almost get eliminated because of me-”
>”-but you didn’t do anything wrong darling,” Rarity interrupts, “in fact. I’m proud of you…those two awards truly reflect what you are.”
>”Grooooup hug?” Pinkie Pie says.
>Everyone hugs you, yeah…including the guys.
>Awkward…
>Rarity and Rainbow Dash are the ones who hug you the most.
>You love this school…
>[“Well…I guess that wraps it up,”] Superintendent Discord says, [Group A’s Qualifiers have ended…Both Crystal Prep Academy and Canterlot High are gonna-“] 
>[“HOLD UP!”] A bunch of officials walk towards the podium.
>Huh?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_kEKW_lL5k
>[“What’s the meaning of this?”] Superintendent Discord asks.
>[“We have found some anomalies regarding the relay race!”] An official says as she presents some evidence.
>Everyone is confused.
>Isn’t that the same steel wire Nelly tripped with?
>An official shows Superintendent Discord the wire.
>”A wire?”
>”This was left on the track…exactly where a player of Pleasantview High tripped. Yes, Pleasantview High was sabotaged…”
>SABOTAGED?!
>Everyone starts asking questions.
>Pleasantview High’s students protest even louder.
>An official takes out a smartphone and shows Superintendent Discord footage of the incident involving you and Nelly.
>”Yeah…what about this?”
>The official rewinds the footage and shows that in the same spot that there wasn’t a wire to begin with, it was thrown in in the last lap.
>”I see…”
>”We thought of it as strange, so we immediately asked for Crystal Prep Academy’s security footage, given that there’s a security camera in that place.”
>Another official shows Superintendent Discord and the Principals a recording of the perpetrator throwing the wire from a vantage point.
>http://picosong.com/wqBae/
>“ZEPHYR BREEZE?!” Principal Celestia yells.
>Everyone gives Zephyr Breeze the stink eye.
>Zephyr Breeze sweats profusely.
>[”I see…well Canterlot High, do you know what’s written in the rules when something like this happens?”] Superintendent Discord asks.
>Twilight takes out the rulebook out of her backpack.
>”Oh no…”
>[”Canterlot High has been DISQUALIFIED!”]
>Pleasanview High’s crowd goes wild.
>Everyone gathers around Zephyr Breeze.
>”I...uhh.”
>”Zephyr, you…YOU-” Rainbow Dash says.
>Aria Blaze cracks her knuckles.
>And Sonata does as well…
>Derpy even clenches her fists.
>”G-guys…calm down, can’t we talk about this?”
>Big Mac lets out his angriest “Nnnnope!” ever.
>Zephyr Breeze runs away as fast as he can.
>https://youtu.be/e2tHG6Okpso
>”GET HIM!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>Your team goes after him.
>Heck, even some of your supporters get off the bleachers to go after him as well.
>”PLEASE! LET ME EXPLAAAAAIN!”
>Zeph exits the school with an angry crowd following after him.
>You wonder how much he’ll be able to outrun them, he sucks at running after all.
>[“NOT THE FAAAAAACE!”]
>Oh, that answered your question.

>http://picosong.com/wqtXL/
>Man…what a day.
>You see Pleasantview High’s crowd cheering for their team, congratulating Sandy, praising Mirage and cheering for Nelly.
>It brings a smile to your face.
>You can only hope they’ll leave her alone from now on.
>Then, you take a look at your trophies.
>What did Rarity mean by that?
>(“…those two awards truly reflect what you are.”)
>Funny she said that, you pulled off these kinds of stunts back when you played soccer at Seacrest County High.
>But your teammates called you a moron, a loser, and a traitor; just because you refused to play dirty.
>Parking the bus when you were winning, diving whenever an enemy slid…
>Yeah, totally not your style.
>However, Rarity’s words make you feel a little funny.
>All was lost, but she did nothing but defend your decision.
>Everyone was looking forward to make it to the round of sixteen…and you put the team in danger of losing that chance.
>Not that it matters anymore…
>Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are begging the officials and Superintendent Discord to reconsider their decision.
>The officials refuse to listen to them, while Superintendent Discord just laughs at their misfortune.
>It’s no use…
>You turn around and see Principal Celestia sobbing on Vice Principal Luna’s chest.
>Poor Principal Celestia.
>You sit on the grass and reflect upon the last few days.
>https://puu.sh/yNFXj/495336796b.png
>All those bonds you had formed with your friends, will they change now that you’ve all been disqualified?
>You sigh.

>”Anon?” A girl’s voice calls from behind.
>You turn your head around your shoulder and find Nelly and Sandy, standing behind you.
“Oh, hey!” You say before standing up.
>http://picosong.com/wqtg3/
>”Come on sis…don’t be shy,” Sandy says, giving her a little nudge with an elbow.
>”Right…Anon, I-I just wanted to tell you something.”
>You smile at her.
>”I know you feel bad over how this turned out but, I don’t think your team wanted to sabotage ours…after all, you did come back to help me out.”
“Yeah, that’s true- I don’t know why Zephyr Breeze did what he did.“
>”I don’t think that matters anymore…after all, he’s getting what he deserves right now,” Sandy says with a smirk on her pretty face.
>”What I’m tryin’ to say is-“ Nelly emphasizes by arching an eyebrow and speaking louder to contrast to her sister’s interruption, “Is that…what you did for me was…the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you Anon”
>Nelly leans in to give you a kiss on your cheek.
>https://puu.sh/yNFXU/f1d19736d1.png
>It feels so…good!
>Sandy lets out a giggle.
>”Don’t tell me this was your plan from the very beginning Anon,” Sandy mockingly says.
>”Ugh! Could you please leave us alone for a bit sis?”
>”Alright, suit yourself…I’m gonna see Bell.” 
>Sandy laughs and walks away from you two.
>“Enjoy yourselves lovebirds!”
>”SIS!” Nelly yells at her sister looking quite flustered.
>Cute.
>Nelly lets out a sigh and then turns around.
>”I’m sorry your team was disqualified because of me Anon, if I hadn’t tripped on that wire-”
“You know what Nelly? I think we should stop blaming ourselves for once…none of us did anything wrong.”
>Nelly closes her eyes for a couple of seconds.
>”Yeah…you’re right Anon, and you know what? I’ve been thinkin’ about what you said earlier.”
”Hmm?”
>”Now that the qualifiers are over…we are not enemies anymore right? S-so-“
>She hands you a piece of paper.
>You examine and find her phone number written on it next to a heart.
>”-I’d love to keep in touch with you…perhaps I could drop by Canterlot High or-”
>You smile at her.
“Sure Nelly, we can hang out…maybe I can come cheer for you in the Round of Sixteen.”
>Nelly looks away.
“What’s the matter?”
>”I-I don’t think I’m strong enough to keep going Anon.”
“That’s nonsense Nelly, you’re stronger than you think.”
>”Y-you really think so?”
“Of course! And you wanna know how? By telling your sister how you truly feel about this whole thing.”
>http://picosong.com/wqtud/
>”Huh?!”
“Yeah…you have the talent, but if you don’t want to take part in this competition you have to let your sister know, she’ll understand.”
>Nelly nods.
>”You know what? I might just do that,” Nelly says before giving you a big hug that feels quite long, ”Thank you so much Anon…”
>Nelly says her goodbyes and goes back to her team.
>What a cutie.
>You pick up your awards and head straight to your home to get some well-deserved rest.

>The weekend went by.
>http://picosong.com/wqi6G/
>You didn’t have enough energy or will to come out of your house.
>You didn’t even bother checking your friends’ messages…nor your social media’s newsfeed.
>Why should you anyways? You probably are getting bombed with hate mail from your classmates.
>You let out an exasperated sigh as soon as the alarm goes off.
>Monday, 6:30 A.M.
>You didn’t get much sleep, again…
>The first thing you do is look at your awards sitting right on top of your desk.
>Eugh…
>Do you really have to go to school today?
>You drag yourself out of bed, wishing you didn’t have to face anyone at school right now.
>First off…the morning ritual, or ‘triple S’ as you like to call it.
>When that’s done, you get out of the bathroom and put on your clothes.
>You go downstairs and prepare something quick to eat so you don’t have to bother your mom.
>When that’s done you brush your teeth and lastly pet your dog goodbye.
>It’s a chilly and cloudy morning.
>It looks like it’s gonna rain.
>Talk about Monday Blues…
>Halfway there you ponder if it’s gonna rain.
>Thunders are heard in the distance.
>You better hurry up if you don’t want to get-
>Lightning flashes on the sky, and all of a sudden it starts to rain heavily.
>…wet.
>Un-freaking-believable.
>You find a dry place to take cover from the rain.
>You wish you had brought an umbrella or something.
>”Anon!” A familiar voice calls out.
>You find Sunset Shimmer running towards your position, covering her head with her hoodie.
>As soon as she arrives to the dry spot you’re standing under she warmly greets you with a hug.
>”Hey Anon, you okay? You didn’t reply to any of my messages.”
“I…uh-I kinda forgot.“
>”Wow, you’re a terrible liar Anon.”
>You sigh.
“I’m sorry Sunset, it’s just-“
>”If it’s about the Qualifiers you can forget about it Anon, it’s water under the bridge, or rather us under this rain don’t you think?” She says with a cute giggle.
>Heh.
>“But seriously, if you hadn’t helped that poor girl we would’ve been disqualified anyways. That Zephyr…Fluttershy spend all of her weekend taking care of his injuries.”
“Wow really?”
>Sunset Shimmer giggles once again.
>”Yeah, that’s what I wanted you to see…” She says as she pulls her phone out of her hoodie’s pockets to show you the chat she had with Fluttershy.
“Sheesh, those look serious.”
>”They actually aren’t according to her, everyone got him quite good.”
“Aw man that’s not good, now I wonder what the school’s gonna do to me.”
>She shakes her head.
>”Don’t be silly Anon, I’ll let you know that if they try to do something; I got your back…”
“Really?”
>Sunset Shimmer nods.
>”Yeah…I mean like, that was so sweet of you! The way you carefully picked her up and everything,” Sunset says trying not to get flustered, “I mean seriously…why did you do it Anon?”
“Well, Nelly’s experiencing what I was during Jr. High…I thought their team would stop bothering her if she wasn’t last place. And it actually happened, I mean…didn’t you hear how hard they were on them? They even mocked her when she was on the floor.”
>Sunset Shimmer nods.
>”And that’s exactly what you went through in Seacrest County isn’t that right?”
“Sadly…yes. She didn’t deserve any of that abuse.”
>The rain is starting to calm down.
>”We better hurry up Anon or we’ll be late!”
“A’ight…”
>”Come on, let’s race to school…”
“A race?”
>Sunset Shimmer starts to run.
>”Come on! If I win you’ll have to buy me a slice of pie from the cafeteria!” She yells.
>You smile and run after her.

>Minutes later.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLESWPUnVss
>You arrive to Canterlot High before Sunset, who just reached the main entrance.
“Looks like I won Sunset…”
>She’s regaining her breath.
>”Yeah…wow, you were so fast!”
>You shrug.
“Ehhh…what can I say, other than sorry?”
>”Sorry?”
“For not buying you a slice of pie at lunch…a deal’s a deal.”
>Sunset lets out a chuckle.
>“Yeah…you won fair and square.”
>Sunset Shimmer looks at her reflection on the Main Entrance’s glass.
>”Whoa! My hair’s all ruined,” she says as she takes out a brush out of her backpack to start combing her hair, “say, will you join us at lunch at the usual spot?”
“Umm…”
>”Come on, don’t be like that Anon…don’t tell me that now that we’re out you don’t want to hear from us.”
“What? No no no…of course not! I’m just…kiiiinda afraid of Aria, or any other guy that wants to hurt me.”
>Sunset Shimmer giggles.
>”You worry too much Anon.”
>(“Hey Anon!”) A voice calls out from behind.
>You turn around and find Snips and Snails standing next to the dusty trophies.
>(“What are you doing here? Pleasantview High is in the next town over!”) Snips says before giving Snails a high five. 
>Sunset Shimmer frowns at them, which makes them back away and head immediately to their classrooms.
>”Those two will never learn, just ignore them Anon…”
>The bell rings.
>“Whoops, we better get going! I’ll see ya at lunch okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll be there.”

>Hours later.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3RQ4mWHLK4
>It’s finally lunch time.
>You grab a tray full of fruit, a couple of vegetables and a sandwich, then head to the usual spot where…all of your friends are sitting at.
>”Over here dude!” Flash Sentry raises his hand.
>Huh, and you thought the team would disband after being disqualified.
>”Yoohoo darling~” Rarity calls.
>Everyone looks quite happy.
>You walk to your favorite table and sit on your favorite chair, next to Rarity.
>”Heya dude!” Rainbow Dash happily says before throwing a plastic spoon directly towards your face, “why didn’t you answer our texts? We thought you were dead or something!”
>Rainbow being Rainbow…
“Sorry y’all…I kinda felt bummed after the qualifiers.”
>”So what? Life goes on dude, there’s always next year!” Rainbow Dash happily says, “besides…it wasn’t your fault we got disqualified.”
>”Uhh, it kinda was! Remember Rainbow? You were there after all!” Sonata says, “in fact, we ALL were there!”
>Aria bumps Sonata’s arm with her elbow.
>”Pssh…it doesn’t matter now does it?” Rainbow Dash says, “well, for the rest of you at least; I guess I’ll have to conform with attending community college.”
>”What was that sugarcube?” Applejack asks.
>”Uhh, nothing!” Rainbow quickly replies, “say Anon, did you at least see what I sent you?”
“What? How Zephyr Breeze looked after you all went medieval on his behind?”
>Rainbow Dash lets out a laugh, which upsets Fluttershy.
>”Close, but no…look,” she says as she hands you her phone, “apparently the Eagles of St. Ursula High from Group G were disqualified as well.”
>You read the note posted on the Lifeinvader website.
>”That happened yesterday…apparently most of their players took a shortcut during the Cross County event.”
>”Typical Eagles,” Heath Burns says, “no wonder their catchphrase is: ‘Hate Me More’…”
>”But that’s not the end of the story…” Applejack adds, “Apparently other schools were disqualified as well.”
“No way…”
>You look at the score and read how the Eels, the Eagles and the Dragons were disqualified.
>To your dismay, Seacrest County is the leader of Group G and did amazingly well…but you already saw it coming.
>Sheesh, they have the highest score of all schools. They absolutely destroyed Group G.
>You read how the only event they lost was Cross Country against the Eagles.
>However…they all got the best times in all the events, and even they all dove from the highest platform getting only 9s and 10s.
>They also got EVERY individual award as well.
>You’ve heard rumors, but this score is perhaps too much…aren’t the officials gonna say something?
>”Dearie? What’s wrong?”
“Oh…uh, nothing Rarity. I’m just checking how the other teams did, ooh look at Group C!”
>”Hmm…the Gophers and the Goats made it?”
>”Aww man,” Rainbow Dash adds, “I would’ve preferred if the Tigers and Penguins made it instead.”
>”Nobody cares about them Rainbow Dash…” Heath Burns says.

>”Well they got a rivalry! Just like us and the Shadowbolts isn’t that right?”
>”Yeah, and only Canterlot City cares for our games as much as Lion County cares for theirs…” Heath Burns adds.
>”I wonder why St. Ursula cheated,” Sonata says, “the other teams didn’t look like they could compete against them anyways.”
>”Don’t go sayin’ nonsense Sonata…” Applejack adds, “those varmints knew good ol’ Buffaloes had everything to beat them, our cousin Braeburn attends that High School…isn’t that right Big Mac?”
>”Eeeyup…”
>”Well; personally, I’m glad the officials kicked them out of the competition.” Applejack adds.
>”Just like we were?” Brawly Beats asks.
>” ’cept we’re innocent!” Applejacks raises her voice, “dang it! If it wasn’t for Zephyr Breeze we would be in 2nd place!”
>”Try first place,” Flash Sentry adds, “we were there…at least for a bit.”
>Fluttershy just places both her hands on her face.
>”Aww, don’t feel bad dearie, it’s not your fault at all!”
>”But Rarity, if I hadn’t asked Rainbow to let my brother in the team none of this would’ve happened…”
>Rainbow Dash smirks.
>”Rarity’s right…don’t be so hard on yourself Fluttershy, he’s the one responsible after all.”
>”I’m sorry everyone, I don’t know why he acted like that.”
>”Yeah…what a loser,” Aria adds, “he was probably jealous of Anon because of you.”
>Rainbow Dash blushes.
>”D-don’t be ridiculous!”
>Everyone goes “oooooh!” in a mocking tone, which upsets your captain even more.
>Yeah, that was the reason.
>That Zephyr…
“Say Flutters…how’s your brother doing?”
>Fluttershy looks rather surprised because amongst all of people sitting at the large table YOU were the one to be asking such thing.
>”Oh! Umm…he’s doing okay. He stayed home and didn’t want to come to school today, that’s what he said at least.”
>”Good!” Rainbow Dash says slamming her hand on the table, “all he has done was bring us a bad time, he better stay in his room forever!”
>”YEAH!” Everyone says at the same time.
>Oh boy. Fluttershy looks like she wants to move to another city right now.
>Adagio Dazzle approaches the table, carrying her lunch on a tray.
>http://picosong.com/wksg6/
>”Oh, hey Dagi!” Sonata warmly greets the poofy-haired girl.
>”What are you two idiots doing here?” She coldly asks.
>”Uhh…”
>”You got disqualified already thanks to the newbie; you’ve wasted enough time already  by hanging out with these losers.”
>Everyone at the table frowns at her cruel words.
>”That’s not true!” Sonata says, “we’ve had so much fun! Isn’t that right Ari?”
>Aria Blaze blushes, but refuses to tell how she feels.
>”What? You actually believed Principal Celestia’s lies?”
>”She promised that she’d reward us!” Aria Blaze says.
>”Yeah right…she’s gonna give you a point or two in your upcoming tests.”
>”B-but-“
>”No buts Sonata, we have stuff to do…remember?!” 
>”Nooo! I don’t want to go back to that awful job at the mall!” Sonata protests.
>Aria Blaze groans.
>”Whatever…we have to pay the rent’s next week and I’m tired of covering up for you two! You better get up and say your goodbyes to these disgraces you call a ‘team’.”
>”Now you just wait a darn minute! Who do you think you are Adagio?!” Applejack says standing up to her.
>”Sis! Relax!” Big Mac stands up to prevent her sister to pick up a fight with Adagio.
>”Yeah!” Sonata says, “it doesn’t matter we were disqualified! We did our best and we had fun! Isn’t that right guys?”
>”YEAH!” Everyone says again.
>”There’s nothing to be ashamed of! Especially when Anon’s little stunt made us quite popular!” Sunset Shimmer says.
“Wait what?”
>”You didn’t see? You were all over the news!” Sunset Shimmer says as she shows you a pic of a Bleeter account she took a screenshots of.
>You read the headline.
>[Boy loses a competition dramatically but wins all of our hearts…]
>[Canterlot High loses an important event because of a kid’s big heart…]
>[Canterlot’s disqualification, justified or not?]
>All of the notes denote how cute the gesture was towards Nelly.
>But also demonizes your school by showing Zephyr’s actions, claiming you orchestrated it as well!
“Are you kidding me?!”
>”I know…ridiculous right?” Sunset Shimmer says, “now that I think of it…I shouldn’t have shown them to you.”
>”Hahaha…” Adagio laughs, “how precious, you guys actually thought you were gonna win? Even if you had passed the qualifiers you had to eventually face Seacrest County High.”
”-Tch…”
>Everyone looks quite sad after hearing her hurtful words.
>”Now that would’ve been funny to see! Hmm…what a shame. You two! Get on your feet and let’s get going.”
>Aria lets out a sigh, then she stands up.
>”A-Ari?”
>”Let’s go Sonata…Adagio’s right.”
>”B-but…”
>”It’s over…”
>Sonata lets out a sigh.
>”It was fun you guys…” she tries to smile, “thanks for the opportunity.”
>[“Attention…Canterlot High’s team!”]
>That’s Principal Celestia’s secretary on the speaker system.
>[“Principal Celestia wants to talk with you, report immediately to her office.”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOmnZEOVME8
>Uh oh.
>Rainbow Dash gulps. 
>”W-what would she want with us?”
>”Aww…she’s obviously mad with the team she had so much faith in to fix this dumpster of course.
>Adagio turns around and leaves lets out a laugh.
>”Have fun!”
>Everyone looks quite worried.
>”S-she can’t do anything to us because we lost right?” Ringo says.
>”We didn’t lose…we were labeled as cheaters, which is way worse…” Applejack adds.
>Everyone stands up.
>”Well…might as well get this over with,” Lyra says, “you coming captain?”
>”…y-yeah, just lemme-“
>Rainbow Dash gulps down a whole liter of water from a bottle.
>”Alright…let’s go.”

>Rainbow Dash knocks on Principal Celestia’s office.
>Ms. Raven, Celestia’s Secretary, opens it.
>She looks kinda nervous.
>”Is everyone here?”
>She counts twenty students in the tiny room plus Rainbow’s friends; Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle.
>”Good…Rainbow Dash, Anon. The Principal is waiting for you; the rest of you must wait here.”
>YOU?!
>Oh no…you messed up BIG!
>Rainbow Dash looks uneasy as well.
>Ms. Raven opens the door, and you find out that Principal Celestia’s not alone.
>You both walk inside the office and let Ms. Raven close the door behind.
>Vice Principal Luna, Superintendent Discord and some officials from the qualifiers are here as well.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dXAEZ_9l-k
 >Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna look quite nervous as well.
>”Please, have a seat you two…” Superintendent Discord says.
>Both you and Rainbow Dash sit on the crummy old chairs in front of Principal Celestia’s desk.
>”You both look so tense, cheer up kids!” Superintendent Discord asks, “what? Do you think Principal Celestia here’s gonna expel you or something?”
>Rainbow Dash gulps.
>”But let me tell you something, she can’t…giving a better look at the state of this place she dares to call a high school, I’m thinking of firing both her and Vice Principal Luna as well!”
>”W-what?! But we-!” Principal Celestia tries to protest.
>”I’m talking with your students Principal Celestia… don’t be rude and interrupt me like that!”
>Principal Celestia shuts herself up.
>”Ms. Rainbow Dash…you’re the captain representing Canterlot High, isn’t that right?”
>She nods.
>”Well, the nice gentlemen over here wants to talk about a few things regarding last Saturday’s…rather unfortunate events.”
>”Umm…okay?” Rainbow Dash replies.
>”Good morning Ms. Dash, we’re here as a request from the Ministry of Education’s Board of Directors…we’re here to review your team’s disqualification status.”
>Superintendent Discord arches an eyebrow.
>”We had to disqualify your team because of a player named Zephyr Breeze…who we believed had sabotaged fellow player Nelly Prattle from Pleasantview High.”
>This ain’t good.
>”But…according to the board of directors, something about this whole ‘sabotage’ thing doesn’t add up.”
>”Of course it doesn’t add up!” Rainbow Dash protests, “we didn’t need to cheat!”
>”Indeed…you had 2nd place assured already.”
>They turn to you.
>“Anonymous, you had a clear advantage over the situation. However, you turned to help the fallen player while giving up an easy win resulting in your team’s temporal defeat.”
“Yeah…well, how do I explain it? I-it’s kinda hard to do it right now. I just, really liked this girl and-”
>Rainbow Dash squints.
>”So you didn’t know about the cable at all right?”
“No! I did not! I thought she had an accident at first, and then I found the steel cable on the track.”
>”I see…”
>Principal Celestia bites on her fingernails.
”I don’t know why Zephyr threw that cable on the track…but-”
>”Well, why don’t you ask him yourself?”
>Everyone in the room looks perplexed.
>[“What are YOU doing here?!”] Trixie yells can be heard from the other side of the door.
“Hmm?”
>[“How many times do we have to teach you a lesson Zephyr?!”] Brawly Beats asks.
>Zephyr barges through the Principal’s door and promptly locks it.
>”H-hey everyone.”
>Both Principal Celestia and Rainbow Dash stand up.
>”YOU!”
>”H-hey Rainbow!”
>Rainbow Dash quickly grabs him by his shirt and slams him on the wall.
>”OW! My arm! Careful Dashie!” He begs.
>You stand up and do your best to pull Rainbow Dash away from him.
”Rainbow! Calm down!”
>Rainbow Dash stops herself from acting dumb and sits down once again, refusing to look at Zephyr Breeze this time around.
>Zephyr Breeze looks quite hurt.
>”Do you have something to say young man?” Superintendent Discord says.
>”Yeah I uh…I went to talk with the Board of Directors earlier in the morning about what happened last Saturday.”
>”Yes,” an official says, “he said he didn’t want to hurt the Pleasantview girl, surprisingly, he wanted to sabotage Anonymous.”
“What?!”
>”Yeah…” Zephyr Breeze says with an awkward chuckle.
>”Wait a minute,” Superintendent Discord asks, “what’s this now? You’re taking this two-bit cheater’s testimony as granted?!”
>”No, we have evidence to back that up…” An official says as he takes a tablets out of a briefcase.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yQmPQqpA18
>The first video contains Crystal Prep’s security footage, showing how Zephyr Breeze hid during the event, and then throwing the steel wire on the track.
>The second one shows the point of view of a fan across the track who was recording the final stretch of the relay race.
>”Combining both videos we concluded that…Zephyr Breeze was telling the truth. Unfortunately in that exact moment Nelly Prattle outran Anonymous.”
>They rewind the fan’s video where the steel wire was about to land on your feet; however, Nelly's legs caught it first in midair.
>The official plays the security footage again, this time after Nelly tripped.
>”Zephyr Breeze’s reaction reflected failure to achieve his goals.”
>The footage shows him pulling on his hair as you pick up Nelly on the ground.
>Superintendent Discord can’t believe what he's seeing.
>Nor Principal Celestia...

>”The Board of Directors from the Ministry of Education ruled such event as ‘out of the ordinary,’ regarding how Zephyr sabotaged one of his own teammates, Anonymous helping out his rival, even if it costed his team Victory,” the other official says.
>”Wait a second gentlemen,” Superintendent Discord says, “where are you going with all this? Canterlot High has been disqualified already!”
>”So has St. Ursula High, Sky Lagoon Academy, and Ghastly Gorge High…however, they didn’t show any remorse when disqualified, the evidence against them was pretty self-explanatory, and showed unruly behavior during the games.”
>Then both officials face you.
>”Canterlot High’s case…was completely different however, this kid showed the rest of the contestants what ‘these games are about’ according to the Ministry of Education.”
>Celestia and Luna’s faces are filled with joy.
>”B-but…you’re not gonna get rid of Pleasantview High are you?!”
>”No…it would generate a lot of controversy if we kicked out Pleasantview High.”
>Superintendent Discord lets out a relieved sigh.
>”However…we’re letting Canterlot High back in the REPECHAGE EVENT.”
>https://youtu.be/fF_i3IhJwqQ?t=1m10s
>Your eyes go wide.
>Rainbow Dash’s eyes go wide as well.
>”THE WHAT?!” Superintendent Discord asks, “…that’s I-IMPOSSIBLE!”

>”Excuse me gentlemen, what is the repechage program?” Vice Principal Luna asks.
>”The repechage program is an emergency program the Ministry of Education came up with yesterday after four teams were disqualified. According to them, the cheating said teams did doesn’t reflect too well on the program’s goal,” An official says as he stuffs the tablet back into the briefcase, “which is, in case we need to remind you again, to inspire young people to become more active, and to teach them that cheating and shortcuts will get them nowhere.”
>The official takes a sheet of paper out of the briefcase, containing the teams that were eliminated.
>Everyone looks at the red names.
>”What’s up with the names on red?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>”Those are the eliminated teams that had cheaters in their groups. At first we wanted them to take the place of the cheaters, like Pleasantview High did with yours.”
>Rainbow Dash frowns.
>”But then the Board of Directors and us thought that before we let the team in 3rd place qualify we looked at the scores, then we saw a huge gap between winning and losing teams. So, to make things more fair instead of giving priority treatment to their teams…”
>https://puu.sh/zpWX0/1a570a98a4.png
>”We decided to arrange them in groups of four…from the highest score to the lowest. As you can see, there’s enough teams to have groups of four. Then we discussed how the event should be because there are three spots available.”
”Hmm…”
>”We looked at the scores, and instead of forming said groups with the best scores and the worst scores we balanced things out.”
>You notice the numbers next to the team names.
>Your team has the highest score.
>The officials are right.
>If the groups were set like that there wouldn’t be any balance at all.
>Besides…you’d have to face Croix Bleue again.
>Eugh…poor Pearly wouldn’t stand losing to your team once again.
>https://puu.sh/zpXfY/87139e7d45.png
>”So, we arranged and balanced these groups according to their score…the team with the most points will take G2 spot, which belonged to St. Ursula High School.”
>”Why’s that?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>”Out of the cheaters, St. Ursula scored the most points, they landed in a privileged position…so, there will be a team that will take their spot, as well for the others.”
>”Wait…there’s four groups, for three spots,” Superintendent Discord adds.
>”Yes, there will be only one winner per group. The winning team with the most points will earn St. Ursula’s spot. The 2nd winning team will earn Sky Lagoon’s spot…the 3rd and 4th most winning teams will go to a sudden death for Ghastly Gorge’s spot.”
>”Oh man…so, if we are the winners of our group and get more points than the rest of the winners we’ll be in spot G2?” Rainbow Dash asks.
>“Yes! But if you end up in 2nd place of Group 1’s your participation will be over.”
>So it’s a win or win situation…
>Oh man…
>https://puu.sh/zqeoa/b9f264773e.png

>Superintendent Discord looks mad, regardless; he manages to calm down and regains his composure.
>The officials hand Principal Celestia a paper and tell her to sign it to confirm your team’s presence in the Repechage event.
>She gladly does so.
>Rainbow Dash looks so happy.
>”Dude! W-we’re back in!”
>You don’t know what to say.
>”All thanks to you! Come ‘ere you!”
>Rainbow Dash gives you a big hug.
>Zephyr lets out a sigh before turning around and opening the door to leave.
>[“GET HIM!”] 
>He shuts the door once again.
>”Wait a second Zephyr…” Principal Celestia says.
>”Y-yeah?”
>”Mind explaining us why you wanted to sabotage Anon? He’s your teammate!” Vice Principal Luna asks.
>”Was…” Rainbow Dash coldly corrects.
>”Well…I-I wanted revenge okay?! There I said it!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NowHPcWs7so
“Revenge?”
>”Yeah! Revenge! You humiliated me in front of everyone in the pool.”
>”Ah yes,” Superintendent Discord says, “you’re that kid who couldn’t jump…”
>Vice Principal Luna and Principal Celestia let out a chuckle.
>”You knew I was talented at high diving! But in order to attract all the attention you went in and asked to replace me! Even when I was having a panic attack!”
“B-but we were gonna get penalized if-“
>”Not only that! You humilliated me in front of my Dashie!”
>”YOUR WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash says all flustered.
>”I’ve been after her since I met her, and you suddenly appear from goodness knows where and she’s done nothing but hug you all day!”
>The officials laugh at him.
>”Ahh…so this is the reason why he tried to sabotage Anonymous.”
>”Zeph…?” Rainbow Dash warmly says.
>”Y-yeah Rainbow Dash?”
>”I think you’d better off if you leave the office immediately…” she says with a big and wholesome smile on her face.
>”B-but they want to hurt me!”
>”Not as much as I will…” she says with a wink, “so you better run…NOW!”
>Zephyr looks at his plastered arm.
>”I-I’ll be going then…”
>Principal Celestia shakes her head.
>”We need to talk about your punishment Zephyr Breeze…”
>”Can’t we leave that for another day?” He says before opening the door, then shutting it at the sight of your angered teammates.
>”Woowhee! It’s a nice day today isn’t it?” Zephyr Breeze says as he jumps out the window and runs away from Canterlot High.
>Rainbow Dash sighs…
>You hope this’ll be the last time you see him.
>”We look forward to see your team in the repechage round Principal Celestia. It’ll take place next Saturday, the Board of Directors will email you all the details within a few hours.”
>”Y-yes…” Principal Celestia says.
>The officials say their goodbyes.
>Superintendent Discord turns around and places both his palms on Principal Celestia’s desk.
>(“I know you’re after the prize money Celestia…I assure you that it won’t land in your hands.”)
>Principal Celestia says nothing to him.
>He bursts out of the office.
>Whoa, what the heck was that?
>”Anon? Rainbow?” Principal Celestia says.
“Y-yes Principal Celestia?” You both say at the same time.
> http://picosong.com/wksH4/
>”…WE DID IT! I’m sooo proud of you!”
>We?
>She stands up and gives you two a hug.
>”You don’t know how much Superintendent Discord wants to see me fail…it’s too much pressure I have to deal with, having him on my back is even worse!”
>Principal Celestia releases you both from her grip.
>Your face touched her breasts…
>You can feel your face going all red, as well as a blood rush down there.
>This is totally not good.
>”Go on! Tell your friends the good news!” Principal Celestia says, “forget about the rest of the classes, go train instead! It’s an order!”
>”Uh…okay Principal,” Rainbow Dash says, “are you sure about that? We have exams coming up next week and-“
>”Forget about those!” Principal Celestia says with the biggest smile she’s ever shown to anyone, “the repechage event will be your tests! Go on, shoo, don’t waste your time any longer!”
>”Very well then…you heard the lady, let’s go newbie!”
“Uh, okay!”
>As soon as Rainbow Dash opens the door you’re greeted by an angry mob and a book flying right at your-
“OW!”
>…face.
>”A-Anon?!”
“What’s the big idea Trixie?” You ask, rubbing your head with a hand to help alleviate the pain.
>Applejack helps you stand up.
>”I’m so sorry Anon! I thought you were Zephyr Breeze…”
“Do I look like him in some way?” You ask.
>”Well…you’re both green,” she replies with an awkward smile on her face.
>That’s racist…
>”Anyways! We have a score to settle with him! Is he still hiding in Celestia’s office?”
>Aria, Sonata, Bulk and pretty much everyone present but Rainbow and her friends crack their fists and prepare themselves to give Zephyr another well-deserved beating.
>”We’ll he uhh…he’s-“
“Gone, he jumped out the Principal’s office window and made a run for it…”
>”Aww…” Cloudy Kicks says, “it doesn’t matter, that no-good slimeball is gonna get what’s comin’ to him!”
“Nah, leave him be…” you say in a reassuring tone.
>”Huh?” Everyone says in disbelief and confusion at the same time.
>”…why? Fluttershy’s brother got us out of the competition!” Tennis Match says.
>Fluttershy looks hurt by Tennis Match’s statement.
>She didn’t even address him by his name, so that makes Fluttershy feel responsible for last Saturday’s outcome.
“Well…yeah, that’s true. But! He revealed why he did it, he did it because-“
>Rainbow Dash places her hand on your mouth.
>”Leeet’s not get into that much detail okay Anon?” Rainbow Dash says as a cute blush starts to form on her face.
>Rainbow Dash takes her hand off your mouth and then lets out a sigh.
>”Look, what Anon was trying to say was that Zephyr confessed to the Ministry of Education he didn’t mean to trip the blondie Anon here likes so much.”
“R-Rainbow?!”
>Rarity gives you a glare that could kill.
>It sends a cold shiver down your spine.
>”He just wanted to trip Anon because he wanted to humiliate him in front of everybody just like he did in the High Diving event.”
>Everyone looks quite baffled.
>”The refs and the Ministry of Education knew there was something fishy and investigated the so called ‘sabotage’, if Anon had passed through the finish line without helping that blondie they were right in calling us cheaters.”
>”But we didn’t do anything wrong!” Lyra boldly states.
>”Exactly! And they also knew that…remember that footage shown at the games? They caught Zephyr losing his mind after Anon helped Nelly.”
>Everyone mumbles things to each other.
>”Pardon me Rainbow Dash,” Big Macintosh calmly says, “so, you’re implying we-“
>”Eeeyup!” Rainbow Dash says with a wink, “the Ministry of Education are willing to give us another chance in the tournament, by entering the ‘repechage’ phase!”
>Everyone’s eyes go wide.
>”The repe-what now?”
>”A small contest for the teams that couldn’t qualify,” Celestia says as she steps out of her small office, “to take the spot of teams that have cheated…” 
>”No way! We’re going to face the other losing teams to get another chance to qualify?” Trixie asks in disbelief.
>”Yes,” Vice Principal Luna says, “maybe we can take St. Ursula High’s spot, or perhaps Sky Lagoon’s or Ghastly Gorge’s!”
>Everyone cheers.
>”So! What are you waiting for? Go out there and start training for the repechage event!”
>”Like, right now?” Derpy asks.
>”Yeah, forget about the classes, I want you all fully focused in this! You managed to be 1st place for a brief time last Saturday, AND you had to attend your classes…imagine what you can do if you do nothing but train!”
>Huh, she’s right.
>She must really need that prize money.
>”So, what are you gonna do now? Train all day!” Celestia says, “
>”YEAH!” Everyone yells while raising their fists, “GOOO WONDERCOLTS!”
>It begins…
>Everyone barges out of Celestia’s office and head straight to their lockers to grab their uniforms.
>Before you join your team, Principal Celestia stops you.
>”Anon?”
“Huh?”
>”Can I ask you for a favor?”
“A favor? S-sure Principal…what is it?”
>”Win!”
>”You heard my sister young man, win!” Vice Principal Luna says, “come on…go out there and show everyone what you’re made of!”
”I-I will…” you say at the sisters.
>You step out of their office and head to your locker.

>”Are you actually gonna let them skip their classes?!” Vice Principal Luna says, “Are you out of your mind Tia?!”
>”Yes, remember…that prize money is worth it.”
>”B-but what if they don’t qualify?”
>”They’ll obviously fail their tests and then go in intensive courses for the sufficiency test…just as easy as that.”
>”…you’re actually gonna make them go through that excruciating course to take that difficult test at the end of the term in case they lose?”
>”Yes!”
>”Sister…you’re diabolical.”
>They both let out a laugh.

>Minutes later, you join your teammates on the soccer pitch who look quite excited.
>Celestia and Luna observe from their office’s windows.
>”Very well guys! We better get ready for the repechage event,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”I still can’t believe it myself,” Sweetie Drops says, “like…they really wanted us to participate again!”
>”I guess being nice to that blondie really paid off, isn’t that right Anon?” Brawly Beats mockingly says as he slaps your back quite hard.
“Oof!” You stumble from the hard blow Brawly Beats gave you, “huh? What are you talking about?”
>”You know, I would’ve done the same if I was him,” Ringo adds, “hoo boy, that blondie sure is a piece of eye-candy.”
“What? Pfft, don’t be ridiculous,” you say, letting out a nervous chuckle, “it’s not like that, you got the wrong idea.”
>In that moment, your smartphone rings.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvo9lr0Cn3M
>You take a quick look at your phone, only to see a text notification from Nelly on the lock screen that reads:
>[“heya Anon <3! What r u doing?”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9b3oYfk4s
>”Hah! I was right…” Brawly Beats teases you, “congratulations dude, you got great taste…although I preferred that Sandy girl myself, too bad she was already taken by that sleepy lookin’ guy. I mean; what’s he got that I don’t?”
>How embarrassing.
>Thank goodness Rarity returned to her class, otherwise you’d be in big trouble.
>”Not funny guys…” Rainbow Dash says with a serious tone, “let’s not waste any more time, we better get serious if we want to snag the first place in our group.”
>”Well duh!” Applejack says, “there’s no way we’ll qualify if we end up second…we are forced to win this time.”
>”We’re up against those pesky Lion County high schools,” Trixie says as she crosses her ams, “always bragging they are the best…puh-lease.”
>”Sounds like someone I know…” Sunset Shimmer says in a mocking tone, making Trixie blush from embarrassment.

>”Well then, we better get started people…” Rainbow Dash says, “we’re not gonna let this second chance we were given go to waste isn’t that right?”
>”NO!” Everyone replies.
>”Canterlot High will take the trophy AND the prize!” She says again.
>”YEAH!”
>”We won’t let anyone get in our way!” she says in a reassuring way, ”not even Seacrest County High!”
>”YEEEEEEAHHHH!” Bulk Biceps yells at the top of his lungs.
>You’ll never get used to his bellowing.
>”Wait a second sugarcube…” Applejack says, “aren’t we missin’ something?”
>”Huh? What do you mean AJ?”
>”We’re one player short…” Applejack replies.
>”Oh. OOOOH…you’re right. Well, we should look for other possible candidates to replace you-know-who.”
>”You-know-who?” Applejack lifts an eyebrow.
>”New rule, none of you shall mention his name again…understood?” Rainbow Dash says while crossing her arms.
>Everyone nods.
>”Anyways, it’s better for us to train now. We’ll look for the 20th player when classes end for today okay?”
>”Sounds fair to me. I sure hope we can find a replacement willing to participate…and that is a good athlete of course,” Applejack adds.
>”As long as he doesn’t gets us disqualified for helping the other team members then we should be fine.”
“Heeey!”

>”Another thing we should point out Rainbow Dash,” Sunset Shimmer adds, “that incident with Anon and Fluttershy’s brother…”
>Et tu Sunny?
>”The wire one? I got a great idea; we place blinders on Anon’s eyes so he can’t get distracted by any falling beauties.”
>Son of a…
“-Seriously?”
>”Relax dude, I’m just pulling your leg,” she mockingly says, “heh, you’re getting flustered now.”
>Darn it Rainbow!
>What’s this? Annoy Anon day?
>”Not that one Rainbow Dash…” Sunset Shimmer says, “the one where Anon had to take his place because he had a panic attack. If he hadn’t climbed the ladder we would’ve been penalized.”
>”Oh right…”
>”No one was prepared to take his place…Tennis Match said she had never dived once in her life, isn’t that right?”
>”Heheh; yeah, that’s true…” Tennis Match says.
>”So! Why don’t we try to get better in every event? I mean, we shouldn’t expect Anon to save us anymore don’t you think?” she says with a chuckle.
>”Huh, you’re right Sunset! We better have the basics covered…so! Let’s try doing laps again. All of you have to beat Anon’s time,” Rainbow Dash cracks her fingers and then arrogantly says, “then maybe, MAYBE…you can hope to beat mine.”
“Gee…Rainbow Dash sure is a humble one ain’t she?” You whisper to Sunset’s ear, making her giggle.
>Everyone walks to the sidewalk surrounding the school.
>Once everyone is done with their warm up exercises, they get in line and prepare themselves to give all they got.
>”Ready? GO!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>http://picosong.com/wYEVa/
>You start running, while the rest of the team follows behind.
>[“Nice! This time you didn’t bump into each other!”] Rainbow Dash yells.
>Sunset Shimmer passes you.
>”You up for a rematch Anon? Or are you tired already?”
“Yeah, why not?”
>You shouldn’t try to pass her right now…
>You love the way those buns bounce.
>”…what are you looking at Anon?” Sunset Shimmer asks.
“Oh uh…I’m trying to figure out the best way to pass you Sunset, you’re very fast!”
>Sunset Shimmer looks pleased by your compliment.
>Phew…you almost get caught by your awesome and beautiful friend.
>You can’t let her know you really dig looking at her soft butt.

>Many laps later…
>Holy smokes, you’re exhausted.
>However, you managed to keep up amongst the first three places.
>This time Sunset Shimmer beat your record, and that’s a good thing.
>”Good job guys…” Rainbow Dash says as she finally stops the watch, “you could’ve done better, but at least you’ve improved a lot.”
>”Can we rest now? Like, we’re pretty tired,” Sonata Dusk begs.
>”Sure, is five minutes okay?”
>Everyone falls on their back; including you, to rest on the nice soccer pitch’s grass.
“Ahhh…that’s the stuff.”
>”You can say that again,” a sweating and panting Sunset barely manages to say, “heh…I finally beat you this time Anon.”
“Yeah…good job Sunset.”
>Heheh…she doesn’t suspect a thing.
>Everyone moans and caress their calves and thighs.
>”It burns!” Tennis Match says.
>”Good! You don’t want fat to accumulate there of all places, you only want muscle,” Rainbow Dash adds.
>”Cardio kills gains…” Bulk Biceps says under his breath.
>”In your case…it’s probably a good thing,” Rainbow replies, looking disgusted by Bulk Biceps’ huge muscles.
>”We sure were fast, but…I don’t know if that’s good enough to beat the other teams,” Cloudy Kicks adds.
>”Probably not,” Rainbow replies, “I want you to run once again and beat your scores…come on, get up!”
>http://picosong.com/wYAfg/
>“WHAT?!” Ringo yells.
>”You want us to run again?!” Applejack protests.
>”You can’t be serious!” Flash Sentry joins in as well, “we can barely feel our legs.”
>You’d protest too, but…you’re too tired to even utter a word.
>Sunset Shimmer places her backpack on her face.
>”What? You guys are done for the day? This way we’ll surely lose against Seacrest County, and if this is your limit…don’t even dream of making it past the repechage event.”
>”Eff that!” Brawly Beats says, “can’t we do something else today? Like go to the swimming pool? It’s almost noon so I doubt there will be too many people swimming.”
>”That’s a great idea…” Tennis Match adds, “we can practice diving and swimming there.”
>Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes.
>”Fine…we’ll do that right now, but after we’re done we’ll train for the cross country okay?”
>”Wooo…” everyone tries to say.
>”Besides,” Rainbow Dash turns around to see if Celestia’s still checking up on you all.
>She still is…
>”-we should get going to the pool, it should be more ‘quiet’ over there.”

>Once you’re done resting your team gathers their stuff and go on their way towards the public pool, one by one, leaving you alone with Rainbow Dash.
>”See you there Anon!” Sunset Shimmer says.
“Gotcha!”
>You stuff your belongings in your backpack, drink a little water and bend your knees a bit.
>As soon as you try to join your team you’re stopped by your captain.
>”Anon? Can we talk?”
“Uhh…sure Rainbow Dash, if it’s about me remaining mysteriously behind Sunset Shimmer all these laps then-”
>She raises an eyebrow.
>”Uhh…what?”
“N-nothing, what were you gonna say?”
>http://picosong.com/wqtXL/
>Rainbow Dash fixes her hair.
>”I wanted to ask you a favor…”
“A favor? Sure, what is it?”
>”Don’t let Zeph or anyone’s shenanigans get to you…”
“Huh?”
>”Don’t you see? You showed everyone what you’re made of. And perhaps you did it too well to get our own teammate to hate you.”
>You keep listening to her.
>”He really made a fool of himself by trying to sabotage you, but…in the end you were quite depressed to not answer our messages. You truly believed it was your fault we were disqualified.”
“Yeah…I felt awful; somehow I thought he was right when he said I didn’t care for your efforts by helping Nelly.”
>”Nah, you did well that day. You helped out that girl and somehow that ended up being our ticket to the repechage event, heh. I guess I should be thankful.”
>You let out a chuckle while she lets out a cute giggle.
>”But seriously dude, you gotta be stronger, not only body-wise, but your mind as well.”
“I think I know what you mean.”
>”By the time we go against Seacrest County, promise me you won’t be afraid of those jerks anymore.”
“Rainbow?”
>”Do it…”
>You sigh.
“Alright, I promise.”
>”Good! Because we’ll help you out to get over your Jr. High days in exchange for showing the other teams what you’re made of!”
“A good start would be not reminding me I helped out Nelly.”
>”A’ight, I’ll take care of that…second thing I wanted to say-“
>She turns around to check if the coast is clear.
>”This is gonna be tough for me to say, so I’ll just say it once and I won’t repeat it okay?!”
“Hmm?”
>”Help me get Principal Celestia off my back! This stress is unbearable!”
“Her? What do you mean?!”
>Rainbow Dash explains the deal she made with Principal Celestia and Luna.
>She’s risking quite a lot.
>You’ve never seen her this anguished before.
>”…and that’s why I’m on edge right now.”
“But you said earlier that it was okay we were disqualified, that we should try next year!”
>”Yeah…I was lying, I really felt hopeless back then. But I didn’t want anyone else to find out.”
“How come? Don’t you trust us?”
>”I do but…how can I explain to them that this deal is going to benefit me the most? They’re gonna feel like I’m using them!”
“Well, I’m not exactly doing this for my own benefit or anyone else’s, but…I’m doing this for-“
>”Her, isn’t that right?”
“Umm…please don’t tell her how I feel.”
>Rainbow Dash giggles.
>”Don’t worry; your secret’s safe with me.” Rainbow Dash happily says, “so, now that your secret’s safe with me, how about you keep my deal a secret?”
“Very well…”
>”Thanks dude, I know we barely know each other but…I think you’re quite a dependable guy.”
>Rainbow Dash bumps your arm.
>”Come on, they are waiting for us.”
>You shake your head with a smile on your face and follow behind.

>You are now Zephyr Breeze.
>You’re hiding under the bleachers.
>You saw everything…
“GRRR! Anon!”
>He did it again!
>He’s trying to steal Rainbow Dash from you!
>And that Rainbow Dash! She’s never been that friendly to you!
>She even fixed her hair in front of him…
>You will not allow this.
“Prepare yourself Anon…because I’m willing to fight for Rainbow’s love!”

>You decide to follow the love of your life and your nemesis from a safe distance.
>Then, once you’re at the pool you’ll do some mischief when everyone’s off to train.
>Delightfully devilish Zephyr…
>https://youtu.be/sol2QXSxJ58
>You can’t bear to watch Rainbow getting along with the new kid so well.
>Darn it! What does he have that you don’t?!
>You’re much better than him in everything…with some exceptions like sports, and grades.
>But you know Rainbow doesn’t care much about grades! Sports however…
>The newbie comes from Seacrest County, so it’s no wonder he’s good at sports.
>Then why does he claim to be bad still?
>You gasp.
>It’s obvious! He’s doing it to get everyone’s attention!
>You picture Anon being overly dramatic in the future to receive Rainbow, Rarity, the team and your sister’s attention altogether.
>[“I’m sorry…I really tried so hard Rainbow! Won’t you please pity ol’ me?”]
>[“It’s okay dude, you did your best. Unlike Zephyr…you are pretty reliable, and quite handsome too~”]
>[“Rainbow…I wish I had said this sooner but, I love you! Forget about Zephyr!”]
>[“But I can’t…okay!”]
>You can picture his smug face mocking you as he hugs Rainbow Dash.
“Oh no you won’t!” You say as you use your good arm to wipe away those thoughts at the imaginary cloud on your head.
>Rainbow Dash suddenly stops dead in her tracks.
>(“What’s wrong Rainbow?”) Anon asks dumbfounded.
>Whoops.
>You quickly hide behind a parked car by mere seconds before Rainbow turns around.
>(“Huh, must’ve been my imagination…I kinda thought Celestia was following us.”)
>Anon lets out a chuckle.
>(“Wow, you really meant it when you said you wanted her off your back didn’t you? I didn’t know the problem was THIS bad.”)
>Rainbow Dash giggles.
>(“Shut it newbie, come on…let’s hurry up, we don’t want the team to slack off when we aren’t present now do we?”)
>(“You’re the boss Dash.”)
>Rainbow Dash really dug that. 
>GRR!!!
>You’re going down Anon!

>Minutes later at the public pool.
>You hide behind some chairs and pool equipment.
>https://youtu.be/ibBfpLcNbL0
>You see some of your former teammates already practicing their dives.
>Derpy jumps from the lowest platform, but splashes everyone.
>Sonata laughs at her.
>Poor fools, without you…they’re nothing!
>You crack a cocky smile.
>(“Hey girls! We’re here!”) Rainbow Dash says, (“lemme go get changed and we can start training for real! Where are the others?”)
>(“They’re still at the dressing booths,”) Tennis Match says, (“I don’t know why they’re taking so long.”)
>(”Man, we really need a pool at Canterlot High…even those Croix Bleue schmucks have one,”) Ringo adds.
>Big Mac steps out of the guy’s tiny booth, followed by Sunset Shimmer in the next booth.
>(”Looking good Sunset!”) Brawly Beats says.
>(“Why thank you!”) Sunset replies, (“What do you think Anon?”)
>(“10 outta 10!”) He replies with a not so innocent smile on his face, which makes Sunset Shimmer giggle.
>How does he do it?!
>Well, now that you’re here. What are you going to do?
>You take a good look at your surroundings.
>You find plenty of backpacks and some gym bags piled up on each other very close to a fence.
>Then, you take a look at Anon’s backpack and gym bag.
>He places his phone inside a pocket of his backpack.
>Gotcha!
>You could jump the fence then mess around with his phone.
>Then you take another look and find Rainbow Dash talking with Anon at the back of the line.
>Hmm…she did mention that she was gonna get changed.
>You’d be a fool if you let this chance slip.
>The dressing booths are all over there…and there’s no security or anything to the other side of the fence.
>You might as well get a tiny peek.
>You quickly head to the other side of the pool without getting caught by your teammates. 
>At the other side of the fence, behind the dressing booths you notice something quite peculiar.
>Masking tape covering some tiny holes.
>NICE! So the rumors were true!
>Last week when you trained with the team you wanted to check if there were holes in the booths, but you didn’t have a chance to find them because Bulk Biceps wanted to get changed first.
>You get rid of the masking tape and look through one of the tiny holes.
>You see a nice light blue figure pulling its pants down.
>Rainbow Dash?!
>You didn’t expect her to be changing into her swimsuit already.
>Oh goodness, she’s got quite a nice booty.
>It certainly doesn’t look…soft, if you say so yourself.
>Wait a sec…something’s not right here.
>The blue figure turns around and…
>?!
>R-Rainbow has a…
>AAAAAAAAAAH!
>It can’t be possible!
>(“Hurry up Curly Winds!”) Brawly Beats yells, (“we don’t have all day you know!”)
>C-Curly Winds?!
>(“Comin’!”)
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ
>You jump away from the hole in shock.
>You were looking through the men’s dressing booth!
>If only you had some bleach to pour on your eyes.
>Seeing that huge thing really sends a chill down your spine.
>Although you have to admit, Curly Winds has such a nice and aesthetic figure…
“W-what am I saying?!” You mumble to yourself, shaking your head and trying to erase that thing out of your brain.
>You place masking tape on the hole and crawl towards another hole.
>You hope this one lets you peep at the girls.
>You take a look through it and-
”A-Applejack…”
>(“Darn swimsuit, M size? Yeah right…”)
>Although you don’t like Applejack’s rudeness and lack of manners, you have to admit she’s quite a curvy one.
>You take out your phone and start taking pictures.
>Just in case…
>Minutes pass.
>Your libido can’t take it anymore…
>You have pics of Applejack, Cloudy Kicks, Aria Blaze, Trixie, Lyra and Sweetie Drops.
>The girls that beat you the most last Saturday revealed their beautiful bodies to you.
>You got your revenge!
>Finally, it’s Rainbow’s turn.
>Goodness…what a beauty.
>(“Anon? You there?”) She asks, expecting an answer from the next booth over.
>(“Yeah!”) He replies.
>(“Let’s hurry up! We have the pool for all of us!”)
>You’re savoring each second that passes by looking at Rainbow’s body.
>She bites her lower lip.
>What is she doing?!
>Before she begins to undress…she takes out her phone and bends over to take a photograph.
>(“You owe me one Rarity…”) she whispers as she starts recording a video through a small hole on the booth’s wall.
>Wait a sec! There’s a hole between the booths as well?!
>Wow.
>As soon as Rainbow Dash stops recording her video, she looks at the result.
>(“Nice!”)
>Pfft…please!
>Yours must be better than his!
>Stupid Anon!
>Finally, it’s Rainbow’s turn to undress.
>Come on baby…come on.
>…
>…
“YES!”
>”Huh?!”
>Uh oh.
>You step away from the hole and get out of there as soon as possible.
>Doesn’t matter, you have what you always desired.
>With some extras too!
>However…you can’t get rid the awful image of Curly’s well-chiseled body.
>His body rivals yours in terms of aesthetics.
“What am I thinking?!” You say under your breath.
>You better start thinking of a way to mess with Anon instead.
>IDEA!
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVXnoanopzA
>Once you get a hold of his phone you can send a series of mean text to his friends and relatives. That should do the trick! 
>You’re a genius!

>You’re now Anon.
>https://youtu.be/VWDwi-9teFk
>You stuff your phone in your backpack and get out of the dressing booth as soon as you stuff your clothes in your gym bag.
>You start stretching your body and do some warm up exercises.
>The door next to your booth opens, with a timid Rainbow Dash stepping out of it.
“Ready to hit the water Rainbow?”
>”Uhh…y-yeah dude, totally!”
>Something’s wrong here…
“You okay Rainbow?”
>”Well duh, why do you ask?”
>You arch an eyebrow.
“Uh, well…your face is sweaty and kinda reddish.”
>Rainbow Dash gasps.
>”Well duh! It’s a hot day! Besides…yours is always green and that doesn’t mean you’re sick isn’t that right?”
>Her offense took you by surprise.
“Excuse me?”
>Rainbow Dash realizes how offensive her comment was.
>”Whoops, sorry Anon…it’s just, it’s too darn hot today.”
“Yeah I guess; let’s get started shall we? That way we can cool off in the pool.”
>”G-good idea,” Rainbow Dash nervously says.
>Is she hiding something?
>You shrug it off and head to the pool with your tomboyish and hotheaded friend.

>”W-what the!? Trixie!” Rainbow Dash yells, “what are you doing?”
>You find Trixie taking a sunbath with a sun reflector pointed at her face.
>”What do you think genius? The Great and Powerful Trixie’s getting a great and powerful tan!” She replies.
>Rainbow Dash takes a palm to her face.
>”Hope it’s powerful enough to burn your face…” she whispers before raising her voice, ”This is no time to goof off people! Our team won’t be good enough until you all become Jack-of-all-Trades.”
>”What do you mean Rainbow Dash?” Lyra asks.
>”Remember how ‘that guy’ failed us when we needed him the most? No one was prepared to replace him, if it wasn’t for Anon we would’ve been penalized!”
>”True…” Lyra replies.
>”So! We’re gonna have you all become good at every event that comes in the near future. Just in case one of you gets penalized, red carded, injured, you name it; anyone can replace him or her, understood?”
>”I-injured?!” Derpy says with an uneasy and fearful vibe in her voice.
>Rainbow Dash sighs
>”Yeah, I guess…let’s hope nothing happens to us and that the other teams play fair and square.”
>With Seacrest County High around? Not very likely to happen.
>You gulp.
>”Well then, let’s get started shall we?”
>Trixie ignores Rainbow Dash and resumes her tanning.
>Rainbow Dash snatches the sun reflector off her hands and orders her to climb the high diving platform.
>”UGH! Fiiiine!” Trixie says.
>”This will be fun,” Ringo says to his friends.

>As soon as Trixie reaches the top she smashes some of her props on the diving board, making a smoke screen appear under her feet.
>”Behold puny mortals! And prepare to be amazed by the power of the uncomparable, magnificent and graceful-”
>Seriously…?
>”TRIXIEEEEE!”
>”Get on with it Trixie! Nobody’s buying your act!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>”Remember you’ll get more points if you do this quickly sugarcube,” Applejack yells.
>Trixie gasps.
>”How dare you ruin my awesome introduction?!” She yells, all flustered and with both hands on her waist.
>Poor cute thing.
>She turns around.
>”Now I don’t want to jump!” She says as she closes her eyes and raises her chin in a rather proud way.
>”WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash yells, “are you for real Trixie?!”
>”Great and Powerful to you! And yes, I am for real…”
>Everyone starts to get annoyed at her.
>Uh oh.
>Poor thing, she really was proud of her introduction.
>You better show her some support.

>You search amongst your backpack and take your phone out of one of its pockets.
“Trixie!”
>She doesn’t reply.
“Uh sorry…I mean, oh so Great and Powerful Trixie!”
>She turns around.
>”Yes Anon?”
“Say, could you do your awesome intro again? I couldn’t record most of it,” you say as you show her your phone.
>”Anon, what are you doing?” Rainbow Dash whispers, “wait a sec, were you recording her stupid intro?!”
“Do you want her to jump or not?!” You reply to Rainbow.
>Trixie’s eyes go wide.
>”Y-you actually want to see it again?”
“Sure! I mean, who knows? Maybe more people will get to know how uhhh…talented you are when I upload this to the school’s Lifeinvader page!”
>Trixie looks excited.
>”Very well then, just because you asked nicely Anon…at least somebody appreciates my act,” she gratefully says.

>”Are you recording Anon? Make sure you get my good angle,” Trixie says with a smile.
>Recording?
“OH! Yeah…yes I am.”
>You aim your phone at Trixie and start recording.
>Trixie clears her throat.
>”Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be amazed by no other than the Greatest and Powerfulest of all...”
“Powerfulest?”
>”It’s a Trixie thing…” Sunset Shimmer says with a smug smile on her face.
>”The unique, the incomparable…”
>Trixie smashes once again one of those smoke screens on the diving board.
>The smoke dissipates quickly, and everyone’s eyes go wide open.
>”TRIXIEEEE!”
>Trixie changed her outfit to an even skimpier bikini, and she’s holding two lit Bengal lights in her hands, while also wearing a weird hat on her head.
>All in mere seconds?!
>How did she-?!
”Uhh…I’m sorry Rainbow Dash, but that was very interesting.”
>”You can say that again…”
>”Now…BEHOLD!”
>Trixie discards the Bengal lights and prepares to jump.
>She gracefully makes the jump.
>Does a complete turn in midair.
>And dives without splashing water.
>”Uh…”
>Nobody believes it.
>Trixie emerges from the pool.
>You stop your recording.
>”Well, did you like it?” Trixie asks.
>“That dive was perfect…” Rainbow Dash says, “HOW?!”
>Trixie shrugs.
>”I practiced all Sunday by myself, despite our ex-disqualified status…I must say, High Diving is quite an excellent activity, of course; it’s on par with me.”
“10 outta 10 Trix.”
>”Thanks Anon…that video better be uploadin’ right now.”
“Oh, right.”
>Everyone looks confused.
>”I knew all of you would be shocked by my performance,” Trixie says with a smug grin on her face.
>Trixie walks away from the pool and snatches her sun reflector away from Rainbow Dash’s hands.
>”I’m sorry, but I do believe that’s mine,” Trixie says before laying down on a pool chair to keep tanning her body.
>”You win this time Trixie…” Rainbow Dash says under her breath.
>Then she turns around and addresses the rest of the team.
>”So! Who’s next?”
>”Uhhh…” Everyone hesitates after seeing Trixie’s incredible dive.
>”Hah! Try to top that!” Trixie says with a laugh, as she adjusts her sunglasses.
“Well, I don’t think the other teams will be able to do that either, so we’re fine,” you jokingly say.
>”Must I remind you that we’re practicing for the High Diving event? Not…whatever the heck was that,” Rainbow Dash blurts out.
>”No need to be jealous my dear Rainbow Dash,” Trixie smugly says, “I seriously doubt any of you can repeat such work of art.”
>Rainbow Dash punches your arm.
“OW! What did you do that for?!”
>”Now you done it newbie! You boosted her ego!”
“But at least she looks happy now…think about it, she trained quite hard and it shows!”
>You take a glance at Trixie’s legs and skimpy bathing suit.
“…a lot,” you add.
>Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes, then looks around.
>”Hey, where’s the big guy?”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz7Wdg8ey3A
>”HERE I GOOOO!” Someone yells at the top of his lungs.
>You all turn around and find Bulk Biceps about to jump.
>…
>BULK BICEPS?!
>”YEEEEEAHHHHH!” He yells in mid air.
>Everyone but Trixie runs away from the pool.

>A huge splash soaks Trixie completely.
>”How was it?!” He asks.
>You all walk back to the pool and start laughing at the stroppy girl.
>Trixie spits water out of her mouth.
>”Whoops, sorry Trixie...” Bulk Biceps barely has the time to apologize to her.
>Why? Because Trixie angrily throws her ruined sun reflector away from her before jumping off the pool chair.
>Almost every guy’s eyes go wide open.
>Yours go twice as big.
>Curly Winds just turns around.
>”YOU FOOL! YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPLASH ANY WATER AT ALL!” Trixie yells at Bulk Biceps.
>”Uhmm…Trixie?” Sunset Shimmer raises her finger.
>”Don’t interrupt me Sunset!” Trixie says to her friend before continuing to berate Bulk Biceps.
>”I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU! WHAT KIND OF DIVE WAS THAT?! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US DISQUALIFIED?!”
>”Trixie…”
>”Not now Sunset! Can’t you see I’m busy?!”
>The guys take out their phones and start taking pictures.
>”YOU FOOLISH FOOL! THAT’S WHAT YOU ARE! SUPERINTENDENT DISCORD IS GONNA GIVE YOU A SPECIAL AWARD NEXT SATURDAY THAT’S FOR SURE!”
>”Trixie!”
>”Be quiet Sunset! I’m not done yet!” Trixie grumbles.
>Crap, you wish you hadn´t left your phone inside your backpack…
>”THE KING OF FOOLS! THAT’S IT! EVEN WORSE THAN THE MOST CARRIED ONE! IT’LL DEDUCT ALL THE POINTS WE WIN!”
>”TRIXIE!” Sunset Shimmer loudly yells, because she had enough.
>”Yes?” Trixie asks in the sweetest tone ever.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Ia2nIp_ik
>”The splash managed to wash your top away…” Sunset Shimmer says as she shows Trixie her missing top.
>”EEEEEEEEEEK!” Trixie freaks out as she covers her breasts with her hands.
>Everyone laughs at her once again.
>”W-why didn’t you tell me before Sunset Shimmer?! What kind of friend are you?!” Trixie complains.
>”I tried…but you didn’t listen, instead you preferred to yell at poor Bulk Biceps.”
>”It’s okay Sunset…I don’t mind, it was my fault,” Bulk Biceps says as he puts some toilet paper in his nostrils to prevent blood from coming out his nose.
>”The Great and Powerful Trixie has been humiliated,” Trixie says before starting to cry at the top of her lungs, “WAAAAAAAAH!”
“Y-you okay Trixie?”
>Trixie casts yet another smoke screen to hide her.
>Everyone present coughs.
>As soon as the smoke dissipates Trixie is nowhere to be found.
>”Whoa…she disappeared!” Lyra says.
>”No she didn’t…” Sunset Shimmer points at the fence behind and kinda far away from you all, showing Trixie trying to climb it.
>As soon as she makes it to the other side, she tries to make the jump; however the bottom part of her bikini gets stuck on the fence and it rips apart.
>(“KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”)
>”Poor Trixie…she even forgot about her belongings,” Sunset Shimmer adds.
>Rainbow Dash places a palm on her face and drags it all the way down.
>”Fantastic! Another player gone!”
>She’s desperate, you know.
“Relax Rainbow…we can keep training today, I’ll talk to Trixie later okay?”
>”You better find a way to convince her not to abandon us okay?!”
“Right…”
>”And will you PLEASE wipe away that dumb look off your face Anon?! Or will I have to slap it away instead?”
“Oh…gotcha.”

>Rainbow Dash looks around.
>”…guys?”
>The guys look at their smartphone screens.
>Only you and Curly Winds are the ones who don’t have that peculiar grin everybody else has.
>They’re probably looking at Titsie’s…wait, Trixie’s breasts.
>Rainbow Dash blows her whistle as hard as possible, driving everyone around crazy.
>”Come on people! Stop goofin’ off and start diving! We don’t want Celestia to give us a week of detention for not doing anything now do we?”
>She turns around to Bulk Biceps.
>”Alright big guy, Trixie was right…not on the fool part of course, but on the splashing part.”
>”Uh huh…” Bulk Biceps doesn’t know what to say.
>”You’re not supposed to splash water, in fact…I don’t think a cannonball could be considered a dive in this event.”
>”Ahh, so that’s like, huh. I understand everything now…”
>He looks like he doesn’t get it at all.
>Rainbow Dash sighs.
>”Anyone else?”
>”Might as well give it a try,” Flash Sentry says…
>”Go Flash!” Most of the girls cheer for him, except for Rainbow and her friends.
>You take a look at Sunset Shimmer.
>She looks kinda conflicted.
>You decide to joke with her for a bit.
“Well?”
>”What?” Sunset replies.
“Aren’t you gonna cheer for him?”
>Sunset Shimmer blushes.
>”W-what are you nuts?!” She raises both her hands in a defensive position.
>You crack a smile.
“Come on, I know you want to…that smile says a lot about you-“
>”I-I don’t like him that way anymore!” Sunset Shimmer interrupts as she puts her palms on her cheeks trying to cover her blush.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9b3oYfk4s
>…!
“Uhh…what was that?”
>”Flash is Sunset’s ex sugarcube…” Applejack whispers into your ear, “it’s a complicated story.”
>And now you’ve made Sunset upset.
>Well done stupid.
>Better try to fix it!
“Well…Flash must’ve acted dumb to break up with such a cool girl like you Sunset.”
>”Actually…it was me who did the dumb thing, from the very beginning.”
>Sunset lets out a sigh.
>”It’s an embarrassing part of my past,” she says with a very obvious tone of shame coming from her voice.
>Oh crud, you made it even worse!
>Rainbow Dash pulls you away from Sunset Shimmer by your ear.
“Owww ow! Rainbow?! What are your doing?!”
>”Come over here NEWBIE! You still have too much to learn…”
>You take a look around and see the girls whispering into each other’s ears, then giggling and pointing at Sunset Shimmer.
>Just like Seacrest County girls did everyday to you…
>Sunset’s hiding something, that’s for sure.
>”You happy now Anon? Don’t mention Flash near my friend again!”
“G-gotcha Rainbow…”
>Flash makes the jump.
>Wow, nice dive!
>Flash emerges from the pool with a horrified expression on his face.
>”What’s the matter dude?” Rainbow Dash asks, “was it too high for you?”
>Flash checks his swimming trunks’ pockets.
>”MY PHONE!”
>Oh man, it’s all wet…he should find some rice quick.
>”That’s what you get you big perv…” Lyra says.
>Haha, Trixie’s gonna feel better when you tell her what happened to Flash’s phone.
>”It’s ruined…oh man, nevermind. I was gonna buy the iFruit Y next month anyways.”

>You’re now Zephyr Breeze.
>https://youtu.be/aO_z2nO3ByM
>You’re hiding under the bleachers next to the pool.
“Grrr…stupid Anon.”
>Now Rainbow’s being aggressive to him!
>You miss Rainbow yelling and evading you!
>…wait, you do? All she’s ever done to you is yell at you for no reason.
>You take another look at her.
>Oh great, now they’re both laughing?
“What does she even see in him?”
>You see her punching Anon’s arm and then giving him a noogie.
“God I wish that were me…”
>You try to remember your sister’s words.
>”If you want to be Rainbow’s special someone brother…you must stop acting weird in front of her.”
>What did she mean by this?
>Ah what does she know?
>She can’t even speak in front of her crush right!
>Oh crud! The guys are heading towards your hiding spot.
>They all leave their backpacks and other belongings next to the bleachers.
>And of course, they had to stuff their things above Anon’s backpack
>Man, it’s gonna be tougher now but, you can hope to get payback on him if you manage to get his phone.
>Let’s get to work!

>You’re Anon once again.
>Because of your ‘funny’ joke Rainbow told you to climb up here to show these amateurs a lesson.
>Better do what she says and fast; you don’t want to get another noogie.
>Or maybe you do?
>After all, she’s so short she had to drag your head under her armpits and you swear you felt her nice breasts on your cheek.
>You only hope she didn’t notice.
>”Ready newbie?” Rainbow Dash asks.
“Stop calling me that!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhFCSS5kf-k
“Here I go!”
>You perform a rather complex trick before splashing some water.
>”Not bad! However you splashed a bit of water there Anon.”
>You emerge from the pool.
“Yeah, I still have to practice that dive…can you believe how hard it was for me to get that dive ready before the final P.E. exam? I almost fail that class in Seacrest County Jr. High.”
>”Wow, sounds…harsh, and to think Ms. Daisy doesn’t care much about P.E. in our school, she just believes we should have fun every class, everybody’s a winner according to her.”
>Rainbow Dash handles you a towel.
>”Nice dive Anon!” Lyra congratulates you.
>”Wooooow!” Derpy says amazed like no other, “I wish I could dive like that!”
>”You can say that again!” Tennis Match adds.
>”Dude, that way you entered water was a perfect metaphor of how we should embrace mother nature,” Sandalwood adds, “it almost makes me cry.”
“Uhhh; that was a 7/10 at best guys but, I’m glad you like it…I guess?”
>”Pssh, don’t be so humble sugarcube! I bet not even Rainbow can dive like that!” Applejack adds.
>”Oh it’s on! Try to beat this dive Applejack!” Rainbow Dash says before hastily climbing up the ladder.
>”This oughta be fun…” Applejack says under her breath before following her to the pool.
”Man, those two are something aren’t they?”
>”Yeah…” Sunset Shimmer says, “best friends and rivals.”
“Sorry about what I said earlier Sunset…I swear I didn’t know-“
>”Ah, it’s nothing Anon, I know you didn’t.” Sunset interrupts, “one day I’ll tell you what happened, maybe after we defeat Seacrest County at the finals don’t you think?”
>You smile.
“Yeah…I’m kinda looking forward to it.”
>Somehow, Sunset’s smile comforts you…as if she endured that same pain you went through in your Jr. High days.

>You’re once again Zephyr Breeze.
”AHAHA! GOT IT!”
>You unlock Anon’s phone.
“Let’s see…”
>You check out his albums.
>Camera.
>0 pictures of himself.
>Only a few boring pictures of an unknown place.
>Weird apps installed.
>Newpipe? Clover? Blockfolio? Cerberus? SuperSU? SC-OS3?
>The heck is this?
>It’s bad enough that poor fuck doesn’t have a new iFruit Y like you and your sister do, he had to fill his phone with weird crap.
>Where’s Lifeinvader? Bleeter? Snapmatic?
>Any social media apps whatsoever?
>Man, how are you gonna write “I’m gay” as his status if he has no social media accounts?
>This guy really pays an homage to his name.
>Man, you can’t really do much with it.
>What a loser.
>Let’s see his contacts.
>[Appuls.]
>[Big Mac (4U)]
>[Aunt Jane Doe]
>[Aunt Zutana]
>[Dad]
>[Derps]
>Apparently he has all of your teammates added.
>[Flutters the qt.]
>WHAT?!
>HE’S LUSTING AFTER YOUR SISTER?!
>He’s a dead man.
>You keep reading the contacts.
>[Nelly <3]
>Nelly? The girl from Pleasantview you tripped?
>What’s up with that heart?
>[Rares <3]
>Oh that two timing bastard…
>You got some dirt on him!
>You rub your hands and keep reading.
>[RD]
>Oh that son of a-
>She gave him her number already?! You’ve wanted it for years!
>You copy it to your phone and delete Rainbow from his contacts.
>That’ll show him.
>You keep reading the contacts.
>[Sunny Bunny]
>[Uncle Fulano]
>[Uncle John Doe]
>That’s enough, let’s see what messages he has.
>You open the IM app.
”…”
>Perfect, just perfect.
>Nelly Prattle will go down first.
>You’ll take a picture of your junk and send it to her.
>She does seem like the shy type to freak out if she saw something like this.
>Like that time Fluttershy walked in on you naked jacking it to RD’s pictures.
>…it was very, VERY awkward, and your parents punished you for two months.
>You wonder what Nelly’s parents will do to Anon, and what she’ll think of him afterwards.
>Especially Nelly’s dad after how he nagged the elder sister Mirage for wearing that bikini.
>https://youtu.be/tzVKh5nG4WI?t=1m44s
>Then, you’ll send it to RD…then Rarity, then Sunset Shimmer, then Applejack.
>AHAHAHAHA!
>Say goodbye to your social life Anon! If you had any!

>Hours later, after an excruciating training session of both diving and swimming at the pool…
>You’re Anon once again.
>Your teammates are tired and wishing to rest.
>Ringo emerges from the pool with a frown on his face
>”Man, if I have to listen to Rainbow’s whistle again I swear I’ll…”
>Rainbow Dash blows her whistle quite loud.
>”ARGH! I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!”
>Ringo jumps into the water once again.
>”Good job everyone,” Rainbow Dash congratulates you all, “today was quite a hard day for all of us don’t you think?”
>Everyone gives Rainbow Dash their best ‘are you serious?’ look.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxXrBP7yTBE
>Oh thank goodness.
>Your arms can’t take it anymore.
>All you want to do is go home and lie on your bed.
>Man, this training was quite intense, and you haven’t done any training for the cross-county event.
>Your legs hurt. A lot.
>”So! Who’s ready for the cross-county training? It’s just 5 km.”
>”WHAAAT?!” Sweetie Drops asks in disbelief.
>”You better be joking Rainbow Dash!” Curly Winds says.
>Rainbow Dash lets out a chuckle.
>”Of course I am…I’m quite tired as well so I think we should head home and get some well deserved rest don’t you think?”
>Everyone, including you, lets out a relieved sigh.
>”So! Grab your stuff guys and rest well; cuz tomorrow we’ll focus on cross-country. Squuaaaaaad, Diiiismissed!” Rainbow Dash says in a fake military tone of voice.
>”Thank goodness…” Cloudy Kicks says, “I swear the water in the pool started to smell funny.”
>”My bad,” Sandalwood says.
>Everyone takes a step away from him.
>”Alright, later everyone…” Flash says as he grabs his stuff and puts on a shirt and sunglasses, “let’s go boys.”
>His friends follow behind with their backpacks and gym bags on each hand.
>Everybody says their goodbyes.
>Only Sunset and you stay behind.
”Soo…what are you gonna do next Sunset?”
>”Why do you want to know Anon?” Sunset says as she lifts an eyebrow; her annoyed expression really makes you feel nervous, “…are you asking me out on a date?”
>https://youtu.be/aduZ-zKJuHE
“W-what?! N-NO I wasn’t! Honest!”
>”Aww…that’s too bad, I really wanted to go to the movie theater tonight.”
>Your face goes red.
“Well, I guess I could- uh, I don’t-“
>She puts a hand on her waist.
>”BAHAHAHA! Got you Anon,” Sunset Shimmer jokes, “that’s what you get for trying to tease me like that with Flash.”
“Sunset, you’re diabolical…”
>”Hey, you started it,” she shrugs, “besides, I gotta go to the mall.”
“Shopping with your friends?”
>”Work actually…I work at the sushi place.”
“Oh.”
>”We all have part time jobs Anon, don’t tell me you don’t plan to get one…”
>(Current year)
>(Still being a wageslave) 
“Yeah, I think I should get one,” you say with a chuckle, “very well Sunset, I shouldn’t entertain you. I’ll see you tomorrow okay?”
>You’ll check your Blockfolio in a bit to see how you’re doing.
>”Okay Anon! Have a nice day!”
>Sunset Shimmer stops dead on her tracks and turns around quickly.
>“Whoops! I almost forgot! Could you give Trixie back her belongings? She forgot them after that peculiar…incident.”
“Uh, sure but…wouldn’t it be a better idea for you to give them to her instead? Aren’t you two close friends?”
>”Trust me, I know how she acts when she’s angry; I mean, I bet she still blames me because I didn’t ‘tell her in time’…”
“Oh.”
>”But she’ll go easy on you because she still doesn’t know you that well yet. She’ll be at her home. Her address is-”
>You jot down Trixie’s address on your Cyborg phone.
>”You own a Cyborg phone…?”
“Yeah! Why wouldn’t I? They’re great!”
>”Uhmm…I’m more of an iFruit person myself but, okay.”
>This girl…
>”See ya later Anon! Perhaps we can hang out later!”
“See ya Sunset!”
>You let out a sigh.
>She’s so nice…
>You grab Trixie’s backpack and some of the stuff she left behind.
“Well, let’s get this over with…but first!”
>You take out your phone out of your backpack and open your Blockfolio app.
“Sunset thinks I should get a job, oh ple-…AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
>Not your altcoins!
>AAAAAHHHHH!
>Minutes later.
>You ring Trixie’s bell.
>”Yes?” A very beautiful lady answers the door.
“Hi ma’am…is Trixie home? She uh, left early and forgot her stuff at practice.”
>”Yes she is, let me call her over…make yourself at home.”
“Thank you very much,” you say before entering Trixie’s house.
>”TRIXIE!”
>[“WHAT?!”]
>”YOU GOT A VISITOR!”
>[“I’M NOT IN THE MOOD! TELL SUNSET TO GO AWAY!”]
>Sheesh…quite the loud family aren’t they.
>”IT’S NOT SUNSET TRIXIE! IT’S A BOY!”
>[“EEK! A BOY?!”]
>”Uh, what’s your name again kid?” The mom asks.
“Anon, I’m one of your daughter’s teammates.”
>“ANON!”
>Trixie stays silent for a while.
>[”…coming!”]
>Huh, would you look at that, Sunset was right once again.
>“Would you like something to drink while you wait for Trixie Anon?”
“N-no thanks ma’am, I just came here to give Trixie her stuff back.”
>”As you wish Anon,” the mother happily says before returning to her chores.
>Trixie finally makes her appearance and walks down the stairs.
>”Huh, it is you Anon…how did you find Trixie’s lair?”
“Ehehe, well…Sunset gave me your address and asked me to bring you your stuff back. Soo… here I am,” you say as you hand Trixie her belongings.
>Trixie pouts and snatches her backpack from your hand.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb5aGAUYYUc
>”Well, Trixie’s glad you brought them, although The Disgusted and Angry Trixie’s not very happy with you right now…you perv.”
“Uhhh…”
>You don’t know what to say.
>”Oh please, your eyes almost jump out of their sockets…buuut I guess I can forgive you, at least both you and Curly Winds didn’t take pictures. But I know why Curly didn’t, he’s…well, how can Trixie say it?”
>The guy is different, you’ll give her that.
>”Oh nevermind!”
“Well…h-here you go Trixie. See ya!”
>”WAIT A MINUTE!”
“Huh?”
>”You…d-didn’t rummage through Trixie’s things now did you?!”
“WHAT?! Of course not!”
>”I swear, if you touched my panties you’re gonna be sorry!”
“ARE YOU CRAZY?! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!”
>Trixie opens her backpack and looks at the contents of her bag.
>She lets out a relieved sigh.
>”Here they are, without them Trixie would’ve been lost!”
“Uh, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?”
>”No! They’re quite important to me! And Trixie dares to say this…vital!”
“Vital?”
>Trixie puts on a smug grin.
>”…want to take a look?”
“T-TRIXIE?!”
>”Do you want to look at them or not?”
>Is she seriously asking you to look at her own undergarments?
“YES!”
>What the?! Why did you just say?!
>”Oooh, very well then Anon…just because you brought me my stuff back.”
>Trixie pulls something out of her backpack.
“…are those, bloomers?”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctzbGg0EZ2A
>”For you, my simple-minded friend, these might be simple bloomers. BUT!”
>Trixie pulls a large book out of her bloomers.
“WHAT THE-?!”
>She pulls a set of rings, poker cards, and more props out of those bloomers.
>”Tadaaa! See? That’s why those panties were so important to me.”
“1.) How did you even do that?! And 2.) Do you always carry those with you?”
>“1.) A magician never reveals her tricks, and 2.) Practice makes perfection…”
“That’s…actually pretty cool.”
>”Why thank you Anon, you’re one of the few persons that truly appreciate Trixie’s acts. I’m really thankful. You’re a pretty cool guy.”
>Trixie whispers into your ear.
>(“And Trixie doesn’t tell that to anyone…”)
>Huh.
>”Sooo…about that video, has it finally uploaded?”
“The video? Oh yeah…the video.”
>Trixie raises an eyebrow.
>”You didn’t upload it did you?”
>You give Trixie an awkward smile.
>”Oh you…well, at least you still have it don’t you? Could you share it with me? I kinda want to edit it.”
“If that’s the case, then sure...”
>You send her the video via e-mail.
>Trixie looks at her phone.
>”That was fast…”
“Excuse me? I haven’t sent anything yet!”
>”But I received a text message from you!”
“Text message? But I didn't-”
>Trixie reads the text message, and her face goes red.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOmnZEOVME8
>”A-ANON?! WHAT’S THE MEANING OF THIS!?”
“The meaning of what?!”
>”YOU PERVERT!”
>Trixie slaps you as hard as she can.

“Owww! What did you do that for Trixie?!”
>She shows you her smartphone.
“What the?!”
>”Do I need to say more?! How could you?!”
>Trixie covers her chests with both of her arms.
>”Of course! Now that everybody saw Trixie at her most vulnerable moment…what kind of woman do YOU think Trixie is Anonymous?!”
“I-I didn’t send that photo Trixie! I swear!”
>”If it wasn’t yours then why is your name at the top?! And you even dare to compliment my…assets?”
>The text message reads.
>[Damn…I want to stick this nice thing between your great and beautiful titties.]
“Trixie! I swear I wouldn’t do something like that! This…thing isn’t mine!”
>You take another look at the picture.
“Heeey…wait a minute, this isn’t-“
>”MOOOOOOOOOOM!”
>Oh crap!
>”Honey? Is something wrong?!” The mother rushes in.
>”Anon sent me a pic of his junk!”
>Trixie’s mother drops a plate she was washing.
“I swear I didn’t do it!”
>”Trixie! Stay away from that creep!”
>Trixie does as told.
>”And you! You better leave right now before I call the cops! Disgusting little perv…”
>She’s serious…
>Holy moley what are you gonna do now?!
>You turn around and hastily leave Trixie’s home.
>”Wait until Principal Celestia hears about this!” Trixie’s mom yells from the window.

>What the heck is going on?!
>You receive a ton of messages.
>Your phone’s notification sound can’t keep up with the hate-texts you’re getting.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6waiJR4XYA
>[Lyra: “WTH?! ANON?! WHAT IS THIS?!”]
>[Sweetie Drops: “This better be a joke Anon…”]
>[Tennis Match: “…you disgust me.”]
>[Cloudy Kicks: “you should be ashamed of yourself.”]
>[Aria: “hahaha…is that all you got?”]
>[Sonata: “Umm…sorry Anon, but I like ‘em bigger.”]
>[Derpy: “why would you send me this anon T.T ?”]
>Oh goodness…what on Earth is going on?!
>What happened?!
>[Appuls: “What in tarnation do you think you’re doin’?! I can’t believe you!”]
>Not Applejack too!
>[Big Mac (4U): “If you get close to my sister again you’ll be sorry…”]
>Oh man, you’re dead.
>Even though you’re innocent. You’re not gonna live if Mac gets his hands on you.
>[Curly Winds: “nice…what do you think of this?”]
>Curly sent you a picture of his junk.
>What the hell?!
>Ooooooh, so that’s what Trixie meant when she said Curly was…’special’.
>Whoever did this will pay!
>Oh goodness.
>https://youtu.be/NmGYtEgu1es
>You’re starting to run out of energy.
“I…need a break…”
>You hide in an alley and pull your phone out of your pocket.
>Apparently ‘you’ sent this message less than two hours ago.
>The team was practicing; you had a couple of breaks.
>Everyone saw you using your phone in the middle of the breaks.
>And of course…you had to go to the public restrooms with your phone.
>Damn lunch.
>Everyone thinks you sent them this disgusting picture.
>How are you gonna prove your innocence?
>By flashing your dick to everyone?
>The time tag COULD help you out…however the message wasn’t sent until you turned your mobile data on to check your Blockfolio.
>Nope, the time tag ain’t gonna help either.
>They’ll assume you sent the picture right either after everyone left the training or when you had it on your hands.
>You never felt the need to put a lock on your phone.
>After all…no one borrowed your phone back on Seacrest County.
>Your only contacts were your parents and uncles.
>(“Haha…still playing your dumb games loser?”)
(“Leave me alone Blazing Blitz…”)
>(“Why do you even own a phone? You don’t even have friends to talk to faggot.”)
>You punch the trash container you are hiding next to.
>Blazing Blitz…the soccer team’s captain.
>You still hate him because how often he’d go out his way to hurt you.
>You wish you had stood up to him…
>Letting out a regretful sigh, you go back to your phone and set up a password.
>[Rarity]
>Hope that works.
>Whoever used your phone is gonna be sorry.
>[Nelly <3: “Oh my…UwU.”]
>Well, at least Nelly likes it…
>WAIT! THAT’S NOT RIGHT!
>It isn’t yours in the first place!
>You’re gonna need help.
>But…who’s going to be willing to help you out?
>[Sunny Bunny: “…uh, mind explaining this picture Anon?”]
>Can’t hurt to try.
>You hastily reply to Sunset’s text…trying to explain this picture isn’t yours.
>[Sunny Bunny: “come over to the mall and meet me by the parking lot okay? I need to talk with you.”]
>You better do what she says.
>Better head to the mall ASAP.

>Some time later. At the mall’s parking lot.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxFHFXh1OQ
>You spot Sunset Shimmer sporting a cute Japanese outfit.
“Psst…Sunset!”
>”Anon? Where are you?” Sunset asks.
“Over here!”
>When Sunset spots you hiding behind a van she comes closer to your vehicle.
>”Anon! There you are! Everyone wants your head on a plate! Mind explaining what’s going on?!” Sunset Shimmer says as she shows you a ton of ill-tempered texts your teammates sent to her.
“I wish I knew what happened Sunset! I swear!”
>”Trixie is really mad with you, according to her you had the nerve to-“
“I DIDN’T DO IT SUNSET!”
>Sunset raises an eyebrow.
>You sigh and then blow some air to try to remain cool against this stressful situation.
“Sunset…I’m telling the truth. This picture isn’t even mine! Someone must’ve grabbed my phone while we were training.”
>Sunset lets out a chuckle.
“Sunset?”
>”I see someone tried to tarnish your reputation Anon…I know how that feels.”
“W-what are you talking about?”
>Sunset Shimmer lets out a sigh.
>”Believe it or not, there’s people at school who didn’t like me before…and it was all my fault, and even when I changed, some still spread rumors about me on the internet.”
“No way…”
>Sunset nods.
>”I know you wouldn’t send this kind of thing…with you being so shy and very respectful to us and even rivals from Pleasantview High,” she says with a wink.
>You let out an awkward laugh.
“Applejack seemed to be the most upset though.”
>”Well, she’s a southern gal after all; her granny must’ve raised her with her old-school values.”
“Oh man…”
>Sunset bumps your arm.
>”Don’t let it get to your head Anon…they’ll notice sooner or later the inconsistencies. Right now they’re just…shocked to see that tiny thing.”
“Inconsistencies?”
>”Of course, firstly; why would you send a picture like that to almost every member of the team, knowing you’d end up getting disgusted reactions from everyone? Secondly! The time clearly states the picture was sent at the time we were training, Rainbow has a spreadsheet of the time we spent swimming. And if I recall correctly…you were swimming when this picture was taken!”
”But then how was everyone upset at me? Heck I keep getting angry texts as we speak.”
>”They probably got home and turned the WiFi on. I don’t like to waste much of my mobile data so I use WiFi only. I saw this pic at work…luckily none of my coworkers were looking at my phone when I opened it.”
“Huh…”
>”And lastly…you never send any sort of texts. You take your name quite literally Anon,” she jokingly says, “I was surprised to get a text from you for like, the first time ever…”
“Sunset, you’re the smartest girl in Canterlot High, not even Twilight could do such an in-depth analysis like yours.”
>Your smartphone buzzes.
>A text from Twilight shows up.
>[Purple Smart: ”I’M TELLING TIMBER SPRUCE!”]
“See?”
>”Let’s just say, she’s not used to thinking outside the box…”
“Aw man, I hope they soon realize that wasn’t me!”
>Sunset Shimmer’s phone rings.
>You gulp.
>”Oh hey Fluttershy! What’s up?”
>NOT FLUTTERSHY!
>”…Shopping after our shifts? Yeah, we totally should!”
“Huh?”
>Even Sunset finds it weird.
>”Say…didn’t you uh, receive something from Anon?”
>Here it comes…
>”No? Oh, nevermind. Alright, see you later!”
>Sunset Shimmer hangs up.
“Fluttershy didn’t get the picture?”
>You check your phone.
“Weird…for some reason the ‘prankster’ left Fluttershy out.”
>”It’s even more suspicious don’t you think?”
“Do you think he really didn’t want Fluttershy to see this?”
>”I think there’s more to it than that…follow me!”
“Where are we going?”
>”To the Little Pet Store she works at! Come on!”

>Minutes later…
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfngLGtTZeI
>Both you and Sunset walk through the door and find Fluttershy standing behind the counter.
>”Welcome to…oh hey Sunset! Hi Anon!”
>She greeted you warmly? Phew…
>”Um, excuse me Sunset but…our shifts haven’t ended yet;” Fluttershy says.
>”I’m sorry for barging in like this Fluttershy but…it’s kind of an emergency.”
>Fluttershy gasps.
>”What’s wrong?”
>”It’s a bit of a misunderstanding…haven’t you heard anything bad about Anon recently?”
>”No?”
>That’s great!
>Maybe because she’s not that involved with the team.
”Look…this is very complicated, how can we explain it to you?”
>”Allow me Anon…”
>Sunset Shimmer walks straight to Fluttershy and starts whispering right into her ear.
>Fluttershy goes red, but she just keeps nodding her head.
>”Oooh…oh my…hihihi…”
“Umm…girls?”
>Then Sunset shows Fluttershy the picture.
“SUNSET?!”
>Fluttershy’s flustered face turns immediately into a frown.
>”Well? Is it or is it not?”
>Fluttershy nods.
“What on Earth is going on here?”
>Sunset Shimmer smiles proudly.
>”Oh Anon, I’m sorry he had to do this…” Fluttershy says in a rather embarrassed way.
“Who?”
>”Zephyr Breeze…it’s his, oh this is so embarrassing.”
“WHAT?!”
>Fluttershy’s cheeks go as red as a tomato.
>”Fluttershy walked in on Zephyr Breeze when he was having his ‘alone time’ not so long ago.” Sunset Shimmer says, “I remembered this peculiar event and thought that if Zephyr was indeed the culprit and if he had sent his sister this picture then she obviously would’ve called him out on his trick.”
>Fluttershy can’t utter a word from the embarrassment.
“So, Zephyr was at the pool; he grabbed my phone and sent a picture of his junk to my contacts using my name. Why did he think that’d work?”
>”Well, as Trixie pointed out, you’re both green…” Sunset adds.
>That’s still racist…
“Nevermind…Sunset, I owe you my life!”
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bFRK0RBtmQ
>You give her a big hug.
>”Aww, you’re welcome An- wait, something’s poking me…I hope it’s your phone.”
>You break the hug.
“Whoops! Sorry! I got a little carried away…” You say letting out an awkward chuckle.
>Damn skimpy clothes Sunset has to wear!
>Sunset puts on a lewd smile.
>”Well, I must say, the size isn’t comparable to the one in the picture…so, that’s another thing to your favor.”
“Excuse me?”
>”Nothing! Go on Anon…I’ll take it from here.”
“What are you gonna do?”
>Sunset gets her phone out and starts dialing some numbers.
>”I’m gonna make things right, but you can’t be here…otherwise they’ll beat you up, go on, leave!”
“Sunset…thanks a lot.”
>”Oh, Twilight, you busy? Can I meet you at the mall’s fountain?” She says on the phone’s speaker just as she waves you goodbye with her hand.

 - THE NEXT DAY -
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwkNjJaZkc8
>You’re now Zephyr Breeze.
>As you burst through the school’s front door you take a whiff of the fresh air present in the school’s hallways.
>You can’t wait to see your nemesis getting humiliated by your former teammates, and perhaps by the whole school as well!
>How wonderful!
>You can picture that self-pitying asshole being shunned by Rainbow Dash so badly that he might have to change schools, perhaps even going back to Seacrest County where he should’ve stayed.
>You rub your hands…well, your good hand over the cast of the broken one.
>Watermelody and Paisley pass by.
“Heeey ladies!”
>They let out a giggle as soon as they notice you.
>Huh, they must be happy to see you.
>And of course they should! You’re this school’s biggest gift!
>You turn around into a hallway and find Anon stuffing books in his locker.
>And he…has a smile on his face.
>You hide inside a classroom and poke your head out to spy on him.
>Trixie approaches him from behind and pats his shoulder.
>YES!
>She surely is gonna give her a piece of her mind in the form of a glove slap to his stupid face.
>(“Hey Anon…how’s Trixie’s biggest fan doing?”)
>(“Heya Trix!”) Anon says before hugging the lame excuse of an illusionist.
>Hmmm…
>Not the reaction you were waiting for.
>Perhaps she loved looking at your dong.
>What a slut.
>Meh, one out of ten girls?
>Who cares?
>Trixie leaves to her class.
>Derpy passes by…
>Yes! The sweet Derpy.
>(”Hi Anon! Ready for today’s workout?”)
>(“I sure am Derps…”)
>(“Great! See you at lunch?”)
>(“You bet!”)
>Derpy giggles and leaves.
>What’s going on?
>Derpy passes by your side, and you pretend you weren’t spying on her.
“Oh, hello Derpy. Nice weather we’re having today aren’t we?”
>”Hmph!” She huffs and completely ignores you.
>Well, that makes two…
>Oh! There goes Cloudy Kicks and Tennis Match.
>(“Hey Anon!”)
>(“Yo Anon!”)
>(“Hey girls!”) He replies.
>Something’s not right here…why aren’t they kicking his butt?
>He can’t be this popular now can he?!
>Or…are all the girls in your school a bunch of skanks?

>Rainbow Dash! There she is!
>She should be disgusted that ‘Anon’ sent her that pic.

>WHAT THE-?!
>Alright, what the heck is going on?!
>No one seems to be phased by your prank, or rather…his perverted and unacceptable photo!
>You feel a hand tapping your shoulder.
>”Zeph?”
“AUGH!”
>You turn around and find Aria and Sonata standing behind you.
“Girls! Don’t do that! My heart almost poked out of my throat.
>”Say, can you help us with an assignment?” Sonata asks.
“Um, sure…what is it?”
>”The biology teacher asked us to do a paper on microorganisms,” Sonata says. 
>”Yeah, of course and we thought about you!” Aria adds.
>They both laugh, apparently at you…and high five each other.
>What was that all about?
>Girls…

>You decide to leave to your class.
>What a disappointment.
>Maybe your prank wasn’t enough…
>You’ll have to try harder!
>Perhaps by placing something in Anon’s locker like a vicious snake or something like that…
>You notice a bunch of people gathered around the announcement board next to the Principal’s office.
>They are all laughing.
>What’s with all the commotion?
>You try to take a closer look and find a printed picture attached to the announcement board.
>!!!!!!!
>I-It’s-
>”Hey look everyone! Zephyr ‘Baby Dick’ Breeze” is here,” Brawly Beats says.
>Everyone gathered at the announcement board turns around and starts laughing at you.
>The girls laugh harder.
>”Pathetic…” Scribble Dee says.
>”What a loser,” Bright Idea adds.
>Your picture is attached to the announcement board…and it says it belongs to you.
“W-wait guys, there’s a misunderstanding! That picture is Anon’s!”
>”Yeah right, we know what actually happened yesterday Zephyr…” Brawly Beats adds, “you thought you could get away with it? Dream on buddy…”
>Everyone laughs harder at you.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqkCBpeLT1Q
>You tear the picture apart.
>”Oh, and by the way…that wasn’t the only picture printed, take a look around,” Microchips says.
>You do as you’re told and find tons of the same embarrassing picture taped on each locker.
>”I do believe someone slid some copies under Vice Principal Luna’s door…as well as Principal Celestia’s!” 
“AAAAAAAH! WHO?! WHO DID IT?! WAS IT ANON?! I’M GONNA BEAT HIM INTO A PULP!”
>”Nope…it was me.”
>That voice…
>You turn around.
“R-Rainbow Dash!”
>She nods in a rather proud way.
”B-but why?”
>“I should be the one asking that question!” She angrily replies, “you thought it was funny? It’s not! Now…you better go tear down those pictures before Vice Principal Luna gets a hold of them.” 
>You run through the school’s hallways tearing the pictures apart.
>[“ZEPHYR BREEZE! MY OFFICE! NOW!”] Vice Principal Luna’s yells are heard through the school’s speakers.
>Oh no…
>”Whoops, you better do what she says Zeph,” Rainbow Dash shrugs.
>You’re doomed…
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYPRP5TmFVU
>You’re now Anon.
>You watch a crestfallen Zephyr Breeze going straight towards Vice Principal Luna’s office.
>”Well…that does it,” Rainbow Dash says as she dusts her hands off, “NOW we’ll finally be able to train without any sort of distractions.”
>You see how everyone mocks Zephyr Breeze on his way to Vice Principal Luna’s office.
>Snips pulls down his pants and Snails makes him trip.
>Everyone laughs even harder at him.
>You let out a sigh.
>”What’s wrong Anon? We got him!” She says while pumping a fist in the air, “you should be happy.”
“It’s just…I don’t know, maybe we overdid it.”
>”Hey…that could’ve been you Anon,” Rainbow Dash replies.
“Well, this kind of stuff happened to me on a daily basis back in Seacrest County.”
>”…really? How come? You are a pretty cool dude Anon.”
>You shrug.
>Rainbow Dash gasps.
>”Oh my gosh…don’t tell me you were being creepy too!”
“What?! No! Of course not…what happened was, well; there was this girl I really liked there and-“
>”Uh huh? And then?” Rainbow Dash pays close attention.
“You know what? I’ll tell that story some other time…”
>Zephyr’s humiliation revives some old memories of your Jr. High days.
>All because of that girl.
>Still sends a shiver to your spine whenever you think of that exact moment that made Blazing Blitz target you for the rest of the year.
>”Uhhh…Earth to Anon? You okay dude?”
“Wha- uh.”
>”You okay man? You kinda spaced out for a bit.”
“Ah? Oh, it’s nothing captain.”
>The bell rings.
>”We better get to class…I’ll see you at lunch dude.”
“Alright.”
>Rainbow Dash stops on her tracks.
>”Anon?”
“Yeah?”
>”Don’t forget about our little chat okay?”
“I won’t!”
>Rainbow Dash waves at you goodbye.
>You better get to class.

>Hours later.
>Lunch time.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McslPgXFRDM
>You and your team are relaxing on the usual table, having lunch and overall a good time.
>Apparently everyone heard the good news of your sudden ‘re-qualification’ and the upcoming .
>”Good going guys!” Blueberry Cake happily says.
>”Yeah! Glad you’re back on the competition!” Mistery Mint adds.
>”You better train hard to defeat the Tigers…” Aqua Blossom warns, “they’re pretty tough.”
>”Please…” Rainbow Dash says with a cocky smile, “those literally who’s are no match for us! Right team?”
>”YEAH!” Everyone says at the same time.
>”I heard the games will be hosted at The Penguins’ High School…they have quite the fancy installations and resources to train their students,” Fuchsia Blush adds, “in fact, their newest football stadium puts some NFL teams’ stadiums to shame.”
>“That ain’t gonna work on us sugarcube,” Applejack adds, “we are gonna win it all.”
>”That’s the spirit sis!” Rainbow Dash says before giving AJ a high-five.
>”It’s so good to see you all motivated! Good luck!” Lavender Lace says.
>”Don’t worry girls, with The Great and Powerful Trixie here my team-“
>Rainbow Dash coughs up a bit.
>”-my bad captain; OUR team will win! Mostly with Trixie’s help of course…” The cute illusionist brags.
>Both Fuchsia Blush and Lavender Lace laugh at her best friend’s joke.
>”We’re sure of that Trix, have fun!” Lavender Lace says before they both wave their goodbyes at your team.
>”What are you gonna do Trix? Show the Tigers or the Penguins what you got under that hoodie?” Brawly Beats teases her by showing her his hands as if he were about to touch her breasts.
>Trixie covers her chest with both arms.
>”What?! Why I oughta-“
>”Hey, it’s a joke…chill Trix!” He nervously says, begging Trixie not to hit him over his crude joke.
>”No magic tricks at the competition Trixie…you wouldn’t want to get us disqualified again now would you?” Sunset Shimmer says.
>”B-but how am I supposed to perform against an audience if I don’t show what I got?”
>”I think you’ve showed enough Trix-“ Brawly Beats teases Trixie again.
>This time Trixie grabs some peanut butter crackers from her tray and shoves them directly into Brawly Beats’ mouth.
>”Hmph!”
>Ringo and Flash Sentry try to help Brawly Beats out.
>”Sorry man, but I think you overdid it this time,” Flash Sentry lets out an awkward laugh.
“Say, Rainbow?”
>”Hmm?”
“Who should be our tenth player now that Zephyr is gone for good?”
>”Glad you asked Anon! It’s gonna be Thunderbass!”
>”Hey guys! Am I late for the meeting?”
>Everyone turns around and finds the newest player of the team standing behind the big table you’re all sitting at.
>”Speak of the devil…” Rainbow Dash says under her breath, “Thunderbass here is gonna replace that idiot. Say hi to him guys!”
>Everyone greets Thunderbass.
>”Should’ve picked ‘im up from the beginnin’ Rainbow Dash,” Applejack mutters before raising her voice to ask a question, “how come you didn’t join our team earlier Thunderbass?”
>Thunderbass scratches the back of his head.
>”Well, to be honest, I didn’t think you’d get this far…but I guess you proved me wrong. So! This time I’m 100% on your side.”
>He’s right.
>Everyone and their mothers thought you’d never defeat Pleasantview High or CPA.
>Heck, even some people rooted for Croix Bleue!
>”Ain’t ‘cha a honest fella are you Thunderbass?” Applejack says while raising an eyebrow.
>”Yeah, sorry about that…by the time you guys lost the first event most of us gave up on your team already, but you proved the rest of the school wrong.”
>Thunderbass looks at you.
>”Especially you Anon, how does it feel?”
“Hmm?”
>”To win the heart of that blondie of course!” He excitedly says, “have you dated her yet?!”
“WHAT?! No! I haven’t! Don’t say dumb things like that man, she’s just a fr-”
>Your smartphone rings.
>A text from Nelly shows up on your smartphone’s screen.
>[Nelly: “Mornin’ Anon! <3 <3 <3 U busy?”]
>Dang it Nelly!
>”She gave you her number already? Lucky dog you,” Thunderbass says, ”Man! If the upcoming teams also have cuties playing then count me in!”
>”Huh, would you look at that,” Rarity says with a clearly annoyed tone of voice, “she used 3 hearts in that sentence…”
“S-she tends to type like that Rares…”
>”Hmph!” Rarity crosses her arms and turns her back on you.
>How can you fix it?
>You whisper onto her ear.
(“Well…she certainly isn’t my phone’s password.”)
>Rarity gasps.
>”Oh darling! That’s soooo sweet!”
>Thunderbass looks at the rest of the guys on the team.
>”…how does he do it?”
>”We have no friggin’ idea…” Flash Sentry says.

>Minutes later, Fluttershy joins the table.
>“Hey Flutters! Are you okay?” Rainbow Dash says, “you don’t look so good…”
>”…”
“Fluttershy?”
>”…my brother has been expelled.”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT5nGBaxBaA
>Fluttershy breaks down and cries on the table.
>”What is he gonna do now?!” She says.
>“Good riddance…” Cloudy Kicks say, “Vice Principal Luna should’ve done that earlier.”
>”I know right? Total creep!” Tennis Match adds.
“…Fluttershy?”
>She can’t stop her cries.
>Her friends immediately stand up and try to cheer her up.
>But it’s no use.
>Rainbow Dash feels conflicted.
>”Oh man, this is bad…” she says.
>”It is? Aria says, “I say, good riddance!”
>”Totally!” Sonata says, “now I’ll be able to change without him creeping on us.”
>Fluttershy feels mortified after listening to Sonata’s accusation.
>The guys don’t really care about Zephyr’s fate.
>You take another look at Fluttershy.
>Should you do something about it?
>Even if the guy hated your guts?
“Fluttershy…”
>”He will be a dropout now…no one will hire him, he’ll turn to a life of crime!” Fluttershy bawls even harder.
>Poor Fluttershy.
>What are you gonna do?

>Well, for starters…you’re just gonna try to calm Fluttershy down.
>That Zephyr Breeze prick sure got his ass handed to him by Vice Principal Luna.
>You don’t know what kind of beef he had with you but, you really hate to see Fluttershy suffer like that over him.
“Hey, Flutters?”
>She pauses her sobbing for a while.
“Have you talked to Vice Principal Luna about it?”
>Fluttershy nods.
>”I have, she says her decision is final…my brother has to leave the premises today.”
>Oh man.
“Well, it’s not the end of the world you know? He did something dumb, that’s for sure; but…that doesn’t mean he can’t study someplace else.”
>”B-but…”
“You know? Rose City is just a twenty-minute long bus ride away from Canterlot. Rose City High’s has quarter terms instead of semesters like us.”
>”That’s true…” Fluttershy says before gasping, “now he won’t have to become a criminal!”
(“As if he was gonna survive…”) you mutter under your breath, “I believe their admission tests will be in the next two weeks.”
>”yay! How wonderful…” Fluttershy says, “how do you know about this Anon?”
“Oh, my cousins Mengano and Perengano study there, they are on their vacation break right now.”
>http://picosong.com/WTTJ/
>Fluttershy’s face lightens up.
“I could ask my cousins to give me a study guide for the admission tests for your brother to study if that’s okay with you…”
>”Oh thank you so much Anon!” Fluttershy says before standing up, “I’ll tell Zephyr the good news right away!”
>Fluttershy gives you a hug, pressing her delightfully soft and large breasts against your chest.
>”Thank you, thank you!” Fluttershy repeats, rubbing her head on your chest as well.
“You’re…welcome Flutters,” you say with an awkward laugh.
>She let go of you and quickly runs towards the cafeteria’s exit to find her brother.
>”Dude…” Rainbow Dash doesn’t know what to say.
“I know I know…” you say before taking your seat once again, “it’s no big deal, really.”
>”Well that solved a problem sugarcube, thanks a lot!” Applejack says.
>Then she lets out a laugh.
>”Look at her go…she was cryin’ moments ago and now she’s all happy.”
>”But you know who’ll be happier? Us now that he’s gone for good!” Aria adds.
>”YEAH!” Everyone goes.
>”Good job darling,” Rarity whispers into your ear, then she gives you a wink.
>Rares looks quite impressed over your selfless action.
>”…Oooooh, so that’s how he does it!” Thunderbass says to the rest of the guys.

>Hours later, classes come to an end.
>And you know what that means.
>Rainbow Dash blows her whistle.
>”Alright team, you know what comes next…if we want to beat The Tigers, The Penguins and The Cogs then we will have to double our efforts!”
>Everyone does their warm up exercises.
>”So! For this time let’s go practice in the woods, 3K sounds great for a start don’t you guys think?”
>3 Kilometers huh?
“Yeah, let’s do this…”
>You put on your earbuds, pop your collarbone and stretch your legs.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEgMousgsqQ
>Yeahh…that’s the stuff.
>Rainbow Dash starts trotting, and you all follow behind.
>Your team looks inspired as well, quite a bit unusual from them.
>Sunset Shimmer passes you.
>She turns her head around her shoulder, then she winks at you.
>Well, now with those buns right in front of you you’ll never get tired.
>You receive a message from Rarity and one from Nelly.
>Both say: (“Good luck with your training!”)
>You won’t need it.
>Watch out Group 1. Because The Wondercolts aren’t giving up!

>Days and nights pass.
>And finally, the most anticipated day comes.
>“Here we are boys and girls,” Principal Celestia says, “show ‘em what you got!”)
>https://youtu.be/jrb4CSDtu1I
> - Lion County’s Technologic High School –
>Goodness! The Penguins really have an amazing looking high school.
>”T-that’s their High School?!” Sunset Shimmer nervously says.
>”This place is way better than the dump we call a school…” Trixie says under her breath.
>”I heard that!” Vice Principal Luna says, “if any of you are willing to pay tons of money to study a single semester here then be our guest and we’ll gladly expel you!”
>Trixie shuts her mouth immediately.
>Vice Principal Luna lets out a laugh.
>”It was just a joke kids, relax!” Luna says.
>Nobody laughs at her ‘joke’.
>”Sheesh…these guys must be loaded,” Thunderbass says.
>”They are…and they usually look down on other teams, especially the Tigers, they’re quite a bunch of arrogant folks ah tell ya what,” Applejack says.
>”Eeeyup,” her big brother adds.
>Rainbow Dash lets out a laugh.
>”Don’t be scared of them and their money guys, once we defeat them our victory will be even sweeter.”
>”How come captain?” Derpy shyly asks.
>”Well duh! All that money they spent on their fancy stadium and athletes, and we beat them with half the budget!”
“Half? Try no budget instead…”
>Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna whistle an innocent tune before giving you some advice.
>”Remember team, it’s all about having fun. Buuuut winning is also good, also…think of winning as the only important thing right now okay?” Vice Principal Luna says
>Sheesh.
>”We’re counting on you…especially YOU, Rainbow Dash,” Principal Celestia says in the sweetest and somehow menacing tone of voice, “have fun!”
>They leave the bus and make their way to the stadium.
>Rainbow looks quite nervous.
>You place a hand on her shoulder.
“It’s okay Rainbow, I’ll give my 110%”
>Rainbow Dash smiles at you.
>”Thanks Anon, I know you will…”

>As you all prepare to exit the bus you’re greeted by tomatoes flying right at your-
>SPLAT!
>…face.
>https://youtu.be/us832F6fbog
>You wipe the look around and find that your teammates were attacked with tomatoes as well.
>”What the-?!” Sunset Shimmer says.
>”My eyes!” Brawly Beats yells.
>”Agh! Won gon in mah mouph!” Trixie barely manages to say.
>You look at the attackers and find a bunch of people from Lion County’s Academy.
>The Tigers…
>”What are you peasants doing here?” The Tigers’ captain, Fizzy Champagne, asks while holding a tomato on her hands, “cheaters like you shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the tournament!”
>”C-cheaters?!” Applejack freaks out at the preppy…and very pretty captain of the Tigers.
>”WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM FIZZY CHAMPAGNE?!” Rainbow Dash yells at her.
>”Are you deaf Rainbow Dash?” She asks, “I said! What-”
>She throws the tomato she was holding right at your captain’s face.
>SPLAAAT!
>”-are you doing here? How did the board of directors let you in once again?!”
“Whoa! You okay Captain?!”
>You try your best to clean Rainbow’s face up.
>Rainbow Dash slaps your hand away and runs to harm the Tiger’s captain.
>You immediately grab your captain by the waist to prevent her from hurting Fizzy Champagne.
>”LEMME GO ANON!”
“EASY RAINBOW! EASY! SHE AIN’T WORTH IT!”
>Sheesh! Rainbow sure is strong!
>You really can’t hold her anymore so you try to shuffle your hands to get a better grip.
>What’s this soft thing you’re feeling now?
>Rainbow Dash immediately stops on her tracks.
>”Umm…dude? Those aren’t-“
>Oh shit!
>You immediately realize that you were touching her breasts.
>You let go of Rainbow and she covers her breasts with both arms, feeling quite embarrassed.
>”AHAHAHAHAH” Everyone on the Tigers’ team laughs at you two.
>”These losers actually managed to beat Pleasantview and Crystal Prep? This tournament will be easy!” One of their players says.
>”Well yeah, it’s easy when they cheated their way through the competition…and now they’re back,” Fizzy Champagne says.
>”Dangit y’all! We didn’t cheat!” Applejack yells, “it was all a big misunderstandin’!”
>Fizzy Champagne looks at Applejack.
>”Eww…I’m sorry hayseed, I don’t speak poor.”
>Applejack gasps.
>”If you didn’t get the memo, this is the Repechage Event, not the County Fair!”
>The Tigers let out a laugh.
>Applejack grits her teeth.
>”Well, let’s get this over with guys…if this excuse of a team is what the news couldn’t keep their mouths shut about then we will have no problem on winning, don’t you agree?” Fizzy Champagne asks her teammates.
>”YEAH!” Everyone says.
>Man, the Tigers are a bunch of assholes.
“You okay Captain?”
>”Yeah…don’t worry Anon, thanks for that by the way. If I punched Fizzy’s smug face then we would’ve been disqualified for sure.”
“We’ll get them. Don’t worry about that; for now we should go and get changed, darn these tomatoes, I really liked this shirt…”

>Twilight and the rest of Rainbow’s friends arrive to the scene.
>”Hey everyone!” Twilight warmly says with her eyes closed, and as soon as she opens them she interrupts herself, “are you ready for — what happened to you?!”
>”The Tigers happened…” Aria says as she cracks her knuckles, “I have a new team to hate now.”
>”Yeah! Those meanies attacked us and called us cheaters!” Sonata adds, “Oh I’m like, soooo upset right now!”
>”Really?” Twilight asks in shock.
>”Uh huh, for realzies!” Sonata replies, stomping one foot on the ground, “grrrr! This was a new jacket!”
>Awww…Sonata looks so cute when she’s angry.
>Aria however looks like she’s gonna kick anyone’s butt, including your team.
>You take a few steps away from her, safety first!
>Rarity lets out a gasp as soon as she notices you.
>”Oh darling! Look at yourself! I certainly cannot stand watching you looking like that!”
“Don’t worry Rares, we were gonna get changed anyways. And if they try to do anything to the uniforms you made for us they’ll pay!”
>Rarity appreciates your kind words regarding her efforts on making the uniforms you have stashed in your gym bags.
>”So, what’s the plan?!” Pinkie Pie asks, “should I sneak into The Tigers’ locker room and spray them with itch powder?!”
“One; do you always carry that sort of stuff with you? And two; and risk getting kicked out of the competition again due to alleged cheating? Right now people aren’t very friendly to us if you haven’t noticed Panka…”
>As soon as you’re finished saying that a bunch of parents and other supporters of enemy teams pass by whispering some hurtful words you rather not pay attention too.
>”Aww…you’re no fun Nonny.”
>”Dang it y’all! How are we gonna prove everyone that we didn’t cheat?!” Applejack asks.
>She looks to be the one most hurt from these false accusaations.
>You sigh.
“We’ll have to win every event.”
>Everyone turns around to look at you.
>”Uh, sugarcube?”
“If we show everyone that we’re capable of winning every event they’ll acknowledge that we didn’t cheat, and that in fact…we’re just THAT good!”
>”Is such thing even possible?” Fluttershy shyly asks.
“Can’t hurt to try. Last time we relied too much on the scoreboard. This time it’s a knockout event, only one winner. So we must give all we got!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCXG5qfDss0
>No one was expecting you, the shy kid, to say that.
>”The newbie is right!” Rainbow Dash says, “come on team! Let’s show The Tigers who’s boss!”
>”YEEEAH!”
>Huh, your little speech worked.
>”Ah’m sure gonna give everything ah got ta’ clear our name!” Applejack says, “come on fellas! The rest of the teams are waiting for us!”

>30 minutes later, at the Lion County’s Technologic High’s soccer pitch.
>Superintendent Discord is giving out his introductory speech and giving out the rules.
>You stand in line behind Rainbow Dash, who is carrying your school’s banner.
>”Psst…Anon!” You hear from behind.
“What is it Sunset?”
>”You did a good job back there…everyone is quite inspired!”
>You look around and notice how everyone looks quite excited to start the event.
>Trixie is stretching her body.
>Mac does some warm up exercises.
>Bulk flex his biceps…wait, he always does that.
>Yeah, they are pretty pumped up.
>You then look at Celestia and Luna, who look quite intrigued over your sudden burst of positive emotions.
>Superintendent Discord notices as well and he adds to his introductory speech.
>”The Board of Directors somehow allowed Canterlot High back on the event…huh, perhaps the rest of the teams should watch out for Canterlot High’s cheats.”
>”BOOOOOOOOOOOO!” The crowd in the stadium jeers at your team.
>”DANGIT! WE DIDN’T CHEAT!” Applejack yells from her place in the line of players.
>”I’m sorry young lady…but, do you want to get points deducted over that outburst?”
>Applejack remains silent.
>”As I thought…moving on-!”
>Well, your team certainly isn’t Superintendent Discord’s favorite.
>”Superintendent Discord surely can’t stand us can he?” Sunset Shimmer says.
“I wonder what beef he’s got with us…perhaps Principal Celestia can clear that up for us once we win this event.”
>”That’s the spirit Anon!” Sunset Shimmer happily says.
>”-so, what will be new in the repechage? Since we will repeat the same events from the last game, we decided to make a new rule,” Superintendent Discord says.
>”A new rule?” Sunset Shimmer asks.
>”The contestants shall not take part in the events they took part in the qualifiers.”
>What?!
>”If any of them do, their team will be deducted 100 points.”
>”Good call Anon…”
“Hmm? What do you mean Sunset?”
>”I’m glad you proposed to train for all events! Otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten better at them…”
“Yeah…we sure are lucky aren’t we?”
>”So, you’re not gonna run in the Relay Race, nor dive in the High Diving contest, and running in the Relay Race event is off the hook for me as well.”
“Cross-Country it is then.”
>”You read my mind…say, why do you always follow behind me every time we train for that event?”
“Uhhh…”
>Superintendent Discord takes a paper out of a basket.
>”THE REPECHAGE EVENT STARTS NOW WITH THE…RELAY RACE!”
>The crowd goes wild.
>It begins…
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgu9CldKof8

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAPCAG9TYyk
>”Alright folks!” Rainbow Dash, “relay race goes first…thanks to Anon’s advice we now are all capable of participating in each event.”
>”But what if we’re not good enough captain?” Tennis Match asks.
>”Nah, I totally trust each one of you to give everything you got. So! For the relay race I’ll be choosing-”
>Rainbow Dash looks at each member of your team.
>”Thunderbass!”
>”Awwright!” He happily says.
>”Heath Burns!”
>”Gotcha!” He replies while pumping his fist in the air.
>”Lyra and Sweetie Drops.”
>”YEAH!” They both say at the same time and give each other a high five.
>”Curly Winds!”
>”I’m gonna give it all!” He says.
>As long as he keeps it in his pants…
>”And last but not least, Flash Sentry!”
>”…cool,” he says before combing his extremely long hair.
>”Very well people, we’ve trained hard and made good progress so far, so! Let’s follow Anon’s advice and humiliate those stuck up jerks and Superintendent Discord!”
>Everybody cheers.
>Rainbow Dash places her hand at the middle of the huddled up group.
>Everyone starts stacking up their hands.
>You place your hand at the top position, and realize someone’s hand is missing.
“Aria?”
>”Ugh, do I have to? This is so lame…”
“Come on, we can’t do it without you,” you say with a smile.
>She finally concedes and places your hand on top of yours.
“Ew Aria, your palm is all sweaty…”
>”A-Anon?!” Aria says before a blush starts to form on her face.
“Relax, I’m just kidding,” you reply.
>She mumbles some insults under her breath.
>It’s time for the cheer!
>”1-2-3 The Wondercolts are going to WIN!”
“That wasn’t so hard now was it Ari?”
>Aria Blaze grabs you by the shirt and forms a fist with her other hand.
>”Don’t ever call me like that Anon! Or you’ll regret it!”
“B-but Sonata always calls you like that…I think it’s a cute nickname!”
>”I-it’s not cute you dolt!” Aria blushes even harder and pushes you away from her.
>Everyone laughs at her cute outburst.
>”Had your fun Anon?” Rainbow Dash says in an upset tone of voice, “come on folks, the event is about to start!”

>A couple of minutes later.
>Thunderbass goes first.
>[“Welcome! Welcome everyone to the first event of the repechage! The relay race!”] A voice says on the Penguins speaker.
>Wait a minute, that voice.
“Is that Pinkie Pie?”
>”Yep,” Applejack adds, “I can’t believe they gave her the job…”
“What job?”
>”The Penguins’ announcer caught a nasty cold so Pinkie Pie volunteered to replace her, the Penguins’ principal was looking for someone who could speak loud and inspire everyone with school spirit.”
>You let out a chuckle.
>”What’s so funny Anon?”
“It’s funny to me how Pinkie Pie is perfect for that job, however I think the Penguins’ Principal is gonna have to look for someone who can make her shut up.”
>[“I’m your host Pinkie Pie! I’ll be narrating today’s events and of course, my friend here is going to join me! Say hi tooo…TWILIGHT SPARKLE! Canterlot High’s Top student!”
>Another voice joins the narration on the speaker system.
>[“Thanks Pinkie! Welcome everyone! Are you ready to have Fun Fun FUN? Wait, why three funs? Are you sure you wrote this correctly Pinkie?”]
 >Applejack lets out a giggle.
>”Huh, looks like you were right Anon, Twilight’s gonna make an unbiased, albeit kinda borin’ commentary …we’ll have fun nonetheless.”
>You look at the stadium’s bleachers.
>One side is filled with Tigers’ supporters, wearing that ugly blue and orange uniform.
>On the other side, the Penguins’ supporters, wearing their navy blue and white striped uniform.
>”How come they are sittin’ that far away from each other?”
>“Oh, don’t you know AJ?” They really HATE each other,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Like our school and Crystal Prep?”
>”Oh no, this is much worse…they actually tend to get into fights and other nasty stuff.”
>You hear plenty of insults coming from the Penguins’ supporters directed at the Tigers’ players and viceversa.
>”Told you, their rivalry is quite famous, at least in Lion County anyways…nobody really cares about them outside their county.”
>The race is about to start.
>A loud BANG is heard coming from the official’s gun.
>”GO THUNDERBASS!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>[“Thunderbass takes the lead!”] Pinkie Pie says on the speakers, [“followed by San Franciscolt’s Cogs Haughty Muffin, the Tigers’ Lemon Pie and lastly the Penguins’ Star Avalanche.” Close race ain’t it Twilight?]
>[“Indeed, with that speed they are 1 second apart from each other, if my calculations are correct, Star Avalanche needs to to run at a speed of-“]
>[“Star Avalanche passed Thunderbass which is now second!”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMGH_nxqUnE
>Oh no.
>Star Avalanche passes the baton to his teammate, followed by Thunderbass who passes it to Heath Burns.
>Heath Burns runs after Morning Dew, however he can’t catch up with her.
>[“Now Tigers’ Jean Croissant passed both Heath Burns and Morning Dew! Wowie! What a race don’t you think Twilight?!”]
>[“Indeed, what a powerful display of strenght…things are starting to look grim for both Canterlot High and San Franciscolt academy!”]
>Rainbow Dash looks quite nervous.
“Relax captain…it’s not over yet!”
>[“Jean Croissant and Morning Dew hand their baton to Prickly Cacti and Rose Petal! What a furious race!”]
>[“Here comes Heath Burns, and Curly Winds takes the baton…not THAT baton Curly Winds,”] Pinkie Pie says after gasping then a rather lewd giggle, [“oh my…”]
>Heath Burns grabs his junk and lets out a painful whimper after Curly Winds’ honest mistake…yeah, honest.
>Curly Winds runs as fast as possible and manages to catch up with the Tigers’ Prickly Cacti.
>However Cacti hits Curly’s stomach with his elbow, making Curly lose some air and therefore, speed.
>“WHAT THE-?! THAT’S CHEATING!” Rainbow Dash yells.
>The officials say nothing, and Superintendent Discord looks pleased.
>”Aren’t you gonna do something Superintendent Discord?!” Principal Celestia angrily protests.
>”Do what? I didn’t see a thing,” He calmly replies before continuing to eat his popcorn.
>Vice Principal Luna looks like she wishes she could hate someone to death.
>[“Prickly and Dew hand their batons to their teammates Rubber Glove and Glass Flask,  Curly Winds hands Lyra Heartstrings his baton…and last but not least the Cogs’ Olive Leaf hands it to Winter Tune.”]
>Lyra runs faster and manages to catch up with the Tigers’ Rubber Glove.
>However Rubber Glove just smiles at her in a mocking way and outruns her.
>[Rubber Glove passes Radiant Jewel his baton, then Glass Flask passes it to Spider Web, Lyra to Sweetie Drops and Winter Tune to Baked Goods,”] Twilight says.
>”Crud! We’re still in third place!” Rainbow Dash says.
>”Haw haw…better luck next year hobos,” Fizzy Champagne says, “don’t forget to clean up our locker rooms when we’re done, we wouldn’t want to deal with your salt.” 
>Applejack grits her teeth.
>”Dangit y’all! Ah sure can’t stand people who think they are better than everyone else…”
“Don’t worry AJ, we’ll get them at the Cross-Country event!”
>”Count me in sugar cube!”
>[“We’re about to end this race ladies and gentlemen! Spider Web passes her baton to Cinnamon Roll, Radiant Jewel hands it to Royal Oak, Sweetie Drops to Flash Sentry and Winter Tune to Summer Time!”]
>Flash runs after the Penguins and Tigers team members.
>”Come on Flash! RUN!” Rainbow Dash begs.
>[“Oh Twilight! What a race! I’m sooo nervouscited!”]
>[“That’s not even a word and I agree with you! We will have quite an ending, perhaps we will get to see a glimpse of Flash Sentry’s skill.”]
>Huh?
>”What?” Rainbow Dash asks dumbfounded.
>Flash Sentry looks at the cabin where Twilight and Pinkie are commenting from.
>[“Uh, Twilight?”]
>[“Yes, Flash Sentry’s got everything to win, apart from being quite handsome and popular, he’s a key piece of Canterlot High. Quite a breath taker don’t you think Pinkie?”]
>Flash Sentry’s face goes bright within seconds.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9om8qOn4DlQ
>Flash Sentry starts running faster.
>Rainbow Dash cheers for your teammate.
>Wow! You’ve never seen Flash run that fast before!
>[“Flash Sentry passes Cinnamon Roll!”]
>”Cinnamon Roll?! What are you doing?!” Fizzy Champagne yells at her team member.
>”Hah! Suck on that Princess Meanie! Run sugar cube run!” Applejack yells.
>[“Flash Sentry passes Royal Oak!”]
>“What do you think you’re doing Royal Oak?!” The Penguin’s captain, Platinum Star yells,  “don’t let that pretty boy defeat you!”
>[“Eeek, Flash Sentry is at the lead! The finish line is a few feet away from him…AAAAAND- FLASH SENTRY IS THE WINNER!”]
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7fjUEIm60A
>Both Fizzy Champagne and Platinum Star can’t believe what happened.
>Your team and your supporters go crazy.
>Celestia and Luna hug each other.
>Superintendent Discord throws his popcorn away and crosses both arms.
>”Hah, would you look at that…we won,” Rainbow Dash mocks both the Penguins and the Tigers.
>”It ain’t over yet you plebeians! You were just lucky,” Fizzy Champagne angrily says.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J4HfwpkTE4
>Flash Sentry joins the rest of the team to celebrate their first victory.
>”Good job Flash!” Rainbow Dash says and messes up his hair.
>”Thanks captain!” He says before looking at you, “and thanks to you too Anon!”
“Me? Why me?”
>”Because you believe in us, at first I thought you were crazy when you said we had to win all races, but now I see why you said it!”
>You don’t know what to say.
>”Cut it Flash, we know why you ran that fast,” Applejack says with a smug grin on her face.
>Flash Sentry blushes.
>”Yeah…that might’ve been yet another reason, not gonna lie.”
>[“What a race Twilight! After this event we’ll go to Cross-Country, I’ll list the results! In first place goes Canterlot High, second place goes to Lion County Tech High, third place goes to Lion County Academy, and last place goes to San Franciscolt Academy…”]
>[“Why yes it was Pinkie Pie, I knew Flash would…”]
>Twilight’s smartphone starts to ring so loud it can be heard on the speaker system.
>[“EEEEK! It’s Timber Spruce Pinkie! What should I say to him?!”]
>[“Uhh…”]
>Flash Sentry’s smile turns into a frown almost instantly.
>Twilight forgot to cut the speaker’s feed.
>[“Helloooo Timby~”]
>Pinkie Pie cuts the feed.
>Everyone present feels the awkwardness present in the air.
>Poor Flash Sentry…
>Derpy pats Flash Sentry on his back.

>[“The next event according to our schedule shall be Cross-Country!”] Pinkie speaks on the speaker system.
>[“The contestants shall form teams of five and get to the starting line Captains! Choose your team!”] Twilight adds.
>http://picosong.com/wc3MM
>”You heard the ladies everyone,” Rainbow Dash says, “I’ll participate in this event and I’ll be picking-“
>”-a cab home?” Fizzy Champagne adds, followed by her teammates’s laughter, “oh wait, I forgot you can’t even afford to take a cab!”
>Applejack looks very upset at her.
>”Well, I didn’t think I would have to participate this early, but I guess we have no other choice…”
>Fizzy Champagne takes off her expensive looking jacket and reveals her uniform.
>Well, her personality is shit, but at least her body is smoking hot.
>”Let’s show these poor losers what the Tigers are made of!”
>Everybody on your team frowns at her.
>Rainbow Dash turns her head over her shoulder.
>”Applejack?”
>”Count on me sugarcube…” Applejack says as she pops her collarbone, “Ah sure can’t wait to see Princess Meanie cry when the Wondercolts kick her butt!”
>”You and me both sister,” Rainbow Dash says with a smug grin on her face, ”Big Mac, Sunset and Anon, I’m gonna need you guys as well!”
>”As if we didn’t see that one coming,” Sunset Shimmer whispers into your ear, making you chuckle.
>”Let’s go guys!” Rainbow Dash says, “we have another race to win!”

>http://picosong.com/wcnFq/
>You and all other contestants are lined up at the starting line.
>You let out a sigh and stretch your legs a bit.
>”Are you feeling nervous Anon?” Sunset Shimmer asks.
“I-I am…there’s tons of people watching us. I didn’t feel like this because there were less supporters at CPA, but this?”
>”TIGEEEERS!” Supporters from LCA yell. 
>”PENGUIIIIINS!” Supporters from LCTH reply.
“This is too much…”
>”Stage fright huh? You know, there’s an ol’ trick me and the guys at the Teather Club use, just picture everyone who is looking at you in their underwear.”
“Really? Does that even work?”
>”Yeah, why don’t you give it a try now?”
>You look at Sunset Shimmer and start undressing her with your mi-
>PLAF!
>Sunset Shimmer slapped you!
“Oww…Sunset?! What was that for?!”
>”Not me you perv! Them!” Sunset Shimmer angrily says as a blush starts to form on her cheeks, then she points at the rest of the people present.
“Ohhh…”
>You look at the other contestants and the most vocal supporters from the Tigers and the Penguins.
>Then, you do the same with Fizzy Champagne and Platinum Star.
“Heh, they don’t seem very threatening now.”
>”See? I told you it does work. Now, let’s get to business! Look, you even got a fan!”
“Me?”
>Sunset Shimmer points at the bunch of Canterlot High supporters.
“R-Rarity?!” You say with a blatantly excited tone of voice. 
>She lifts a message written on a poster.
>[“GO ANON GO!”]
>Rarity looks at her poster and hides it briefly.
>She takes out her favorite lipstick and scribbles something on it. 
>Now your name is surrounded by a heart.
>Lastly, Rarity blows you a kiss.
>”Feeling better now Anon?”
“I sure am! LET’S DO THIS!”
>Sunset Shimmer lets out a giggle.
>http://picosong.com/wcnsb/
>[“ON YOUR MARKS!”] Pinkie Pie says on the speaker system.
>Everyone gets in position.
>[“GET SET!”] Twilight adds.
>You take another look at Rarity who is happily cheering for you, Fluttershy joins her as well.
>[”GO!”] Both Pinkie Pie and Twilight say as the official shoots her gun and hell breaks lose.
>[“Applejack from Canterlot High takes the lead, followed by Rainbow Dash, Platinum Star and Anonymous!”]
>[“They should take things easy if they want to endure the upcoming 3 km race.”] Twilight adds, [“and of course, to prevent cheating there are many officials scattered along the course!”]
>Both Tigers and Penguins yell profanities at Twilight because of her words.
>[“…was it something I said?”]
>Pinkie Pie whispers on her ear about Zephyr Breeze’s incident.
>[“Jeez, calm down people; that incident was reviewed already!”]
>[“So Twilight!”] Pinkie Pie changes the subject, [“what do you hope to see in this event?”]
>[“Isn’t it obvious Pinkie? Three captains are participating in the Cross Country event! The Tigers and the Penguins sure hate each other, but Fizzy Champagne’s and Platinum Star’s personal rivalry surely will catch everyone’s attention!”]
>[“Oh my goodness you’re right! They are at it already! Look at them pass each other like that. Their teammates can’t keep up with them! As for the Wondercolts, they are on the lead followed by all of the Cogs’ team members!”]
>You all leave the stadium and hit Lion County’s roads.
>[”Luckily I was able to bring my drone to follow them around! Now we will be able to see their progress live!”]
>[“Ooooh! Good thinking Twilight! Wait, will you be able to follow them all the 3 kilometers?”]
>[“I made some modifications to it, don’t worry about the range Pinkie. I got it all covered!”]
>[“Ladies and gentlemen, Twilight Sparkle! Girl Genius!”]
>Principal Celestia puts a smile on her face.
>”See Superintendent Discord? There’s talent at our school, it just needs to be supported.”
>”Don’t try to fool me Celestia,” Discord replies, “I know that girl was already a genius back in Crystal Prep Academy, her grades lowered once she joined your excuse of a school...”
>Principal Celestia shuts her mouth and frowns at Superintendent Discord’s cruel words.

>1 km later.
>https://youtu.be/3TcURjiPiZg
>Your heart is beating so fast.
>However, you don’t think it’s due to the exercise.
>No, there’s something more…
>You can’t get Rarity out of your head.
>She looked so excited to see you race like this.
>You won’t let her down!
>Sunset Shimmer catches up with you.
>”Getting tired already Anon?”
“No! I’m fine!”
>”Good! Keep on going!”
”Where’s Big Mac?”
>Sunset Shimmer turns her head around her shoulder.
>”There he is! He’s doing well.”
“Good! The more of us ending this race amongst the first places the more points we’ll get!”

>Another kilometer and a half later.
>You’re already getting tired.
>”Come on Anon! Keep it up! Five hundred meters more!” Sunset Shimmer yells.
>You don’t reply to Sunset, you’re almost running out of air, all you’ve got is your legs.
>Some of the Tigers’ players easily get past you.
>Fizzy Champagne tries to pass Applejack.
>”Oh no! Yer’ not getting past me fancy panties!” Applejack says before blocking Fizzy’s way.
>”Oh shut your piehole hayseed!” Fizzy Champagne says before she snatches Applejack’s hat off her head.
>”HEY!”
>”Ewww…I already told you, this ain’t no county fair!” Fizzy Champagne says as she throws Applejack’s hat to the sidewalk.
>”Mah lucky hat!”
>”Not so lucky now eh farm girl?” Fizzy Champagne laughs at Applejack, taking advantage of her distraction by passing next to her and taking 1st place.
>The hat lands on some mud and gets stomped on by the Tigers’ players that got past you.
”Uh oh…”
>”Anon? Where are you going?” Sunset Shimmer asks as she notices you getting to the side of the road.
>You quickly bend over and grab Applejack’s muddy hat, costing you a bit of energy, then you get back to the race by running along the sidewalk while the others are right in the middle of the road.
>Sunset Shimmer is moved by your thoughtful act, however she’s worried by how far you are behind.
>”Let’s put my theory to the test…” she mumbles to herself.

>You can’t keep up! Crap!
>”ANON!” Sunset Shimmer yells as she walks very close to the sidewalk, slowing down and losing her position.
>What the heck is she doing?
>Is she tired already?
>”Remember that advice I gave you?” She says from not so far away.
>You barely manage to nod.
>How is it gonna be useful now?
>Sunset Shimmer pulls up her thong for you to see.
“?!”
>She lowers her shorts a bit to reveal more of her glorious behind.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-oKZDNMy4Y
>”Come on! Race’s not over yet! If we win I’ll let you touch it.”
>She will WHAT?!
>You take another look at her rump…
(”Oh man, it’s so…big, soft,”) you think to yourself.
>You speed up a bit.
>Sunset Shimmer runs faster.
>”Don’t you want to feel it?” She says in an even lewder tone of voice, “catch me if you can!”
>Is that a challenge?!
>Wow, where did all that energy came from?!
>Oh right, you were used to seeing her rump every time you trained.
>That’s what kept you going, and what you needed right now.
>It’s like she read your mind or something.
>”That’s it Anon! RUN!” Sunset yells.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v-kBuS9T-Y
>You do as you’re told and start chasing after Sunset’s beautiful rump.
>You pass several Cogs, Penguins and Tigers players alike.
>”Oh no you won’t…” A Tigers player tries to hit you with his elbow, but you manage to dodge his attack and keep running.
>Both you and Sunset are now amongst the first places.
“Here’s your hat Applejack!” You say as you place Applejack’s beloved Stetson on her head.
>”Why thank you sugarcube!” Applejack happily says before running after Fizzy Champagne.
>You can see the Penguins’ stadium nearby!
>You’re almost there!
>Applejack passes Fizzy Champagne.
>”Grrr…nobody passes Fizzy Champagne!” She angrily yells as she reaches for Applejack’s ponytail and starts pulling it!
>”Argh! Let it go! You’ll ruin it!”
“Applejack!”
>You run after Fizzy Champagne and reach for her hand.
>Grabbing it by the wrist, you start squeezing it to release the grip she has on Applejack’s hair.
>”AAAHHH!!” Fizzy Champagne yells and grabs her wrist, wincing in pain.
>Overly-exaggerated cunt…
>”Thank you sugarcube!” Applejack says as she increases her pace.
>It’s now Rainbow and Applejack on the lead.
>You all enter the stadium.
>There’s the Finish line!
>Applejack crosses it first!
>YES!
>Rainbow Dash is second, followed by Platinum Star.
>You use your chance and reach for Sunset’s butt, giving it a light squeeze and giving you extra strenght.
>Then you finally cross the finish line.
>Sunset follows after.
>Some of the three schools’ players pass the line.
>Big Mac.
>More and more players of the other three schools.
>And lastly…Fizzy Champagne.
>[“There you have it ladies and gentlemen! The Cross-Country event is finally over!”] Pinkie Pie says.
>[“The results are in and…CANTERLOT HIGH IS STILL AT THE LEAD!”] Twilight excitedly says. 
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7fjUEIm60A
“YES! WE DID IT!”
>Your teammates gather around and congratulate you all.
>”Oooh Anon~” Sunset Shimmer taps your back.
”Yes Suns-“
>That was what you managed to say before Sunset Shimmer punched you right in the face, knocking you out cold.
>The crowd goes: “Ooooohhhhh…” at the same time.
>”I didn’t think you were actually gonna do it…you perv.” Sunset Shimmer says.
>[“Whoopsie, I guess Anonymous from Canterlot High will be be incapacitated for the next events…”] Pinkie Pie says in an innocent tone of voice.
>[“He was knocked out…by his own teammate? This sure is one bizarre competition. Let’s look at the results shall we?”] Twilight says.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J4HfwpkTE4
>1st: Canterlot High
>2nd: Lion County Technologic High
>3rd: San Franciscolt Academy
>4th: Lion County Academy

>You’re now Sunset Shimmer.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9b3oYfk4s
>You just knocked out the sweetest boy in Canterlot High over something you tempted him to do.
>What you saw in that brief moment when you slapped him really shed a light on him.
>Anon seems to really like you.
>Like, everything about you…including your body.
>Your powers briefly showed what you were suspecting the most.
>You weren’t getting better at running than him! He just enjoyed looking at your butt and purposefuly stayed behind you to look at your butt.
>He even wanted to pinch it sometimes.
>You let out a sigh.
>Boys will be boys…
>Well, at least you knew exactly what to do to help him run faster.
>You look at his face.
>He has a happy look on it…despite the strong blow you gave him right in his cheek.
>”S-Sunny…” he blabbers out, even his hands twitch as if he was grabbing onto something.
>You shouldn’t have told him that you would let him touch your buns.
>It doesn’t even upset you that much to be honest.
>What were you even thinking?
>You guess you really got carried away looking how Anon coveted you in that flashback.
>You shake your head and bend over to pick Anon up.
>”Uhhh…Sunset?” Rainbow Dash asks, “mind giving us an explanation on why you knocked out our second best player?”
“Don’t you have some players to choose for the next event Rainbow?”
>”Sheesh, you two are acting weird today,” Rainbow Dash replies.
“Yeah…I owe you an explanation, but that’ll have to be some other time, I’ll also have to apologize to Rarity for messing up her ‘cuddly bear’…as she likes to call him.”
>Both you and Rainbow laugh at the ridiculous nickname Rarity gave to Anon.
>”Very well then,” Rainbow Dash adds.

>Minutes later.
>You’re Anon once again, and boy, your head hurts.
>It looks like you are lying on your team’s bench.
>Wait a sec…what’s your head resting on?
>”Oh, you’re awake…” Sunset Shimmer says, “you okay Anon? The swimming event started a while ago.”
>Your head is resting on Sunset’s legs.
“Sunset? What happened?”
>”Oh nothing, you got carried away with my proposition so I just had to show you a lesson, that’s all.”
“Proposi- oh…so, you weren’t being serious?”
>”OF COURSE I WASN’T!” Sunset shouts at you.
“Then why did you pull down your-“
>Sunset places a palm on your mouth.
>”Shhh! I did it just to help you; I wasn’t actually being serious.”
“Well, you were right but…how did you think that flashing me your perfect and round butt would help me?”
>”Firstly, thank you…secondly, I wanted to see if you were perverted enough to actually do that, and lastly because I had my doubts you weren’t actually running faster because you spent all training days ogling at my butt.”
>You stay silent.
>”Just as I thought…” Sunset Shimmer giggles, “don’t worry Anon, I’m not mad. Just kinda disappointed. You pulled a Zeph.”
“Crud…I really screwed up didn’t I Sunset? I’m sorry.”
>”It’s cool Anon…I forgive you just because you really thought I was being serious. And because I find it cute seeing you all flustered like that.”
>You let out an awkward chuckle.
>”You are starting to get redder, what’s gotten into you?”
”It’s nothing, I haven’t fully recovered from that workout.”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgvXCg1e_T8
>You really want to do naughty things to her power thighs.
>For some reason, Sunset decides to touch your wrist.
>…does this count as hand holding?
>You picture yourself going down on Sunset after a nice session of touching her inner thighs.
>Goodness, she’s so hot…these legs are made for, for-
>”EEEEK! Don’t do that! It’s too lewd!” Sunset shouts.
“Do what?! I’m not doing anything!”
>Sunset pushes you away from her, making you land on the grass in front of the bench.
“Oww! What was that for Sunset?!”
>You quickly stand up and find her dusting off her shorts.
>”I have to take a shower…a cold one,” Sunset Shimmer says.
“You sure? The event hasn’t ended yet.”
>”Yeah…I’ll just, be right back okay?”
>Huh, what’s gotten into her?
>[“Only THREE swimmers left people! Canterlot is at the lead!”] Pinkie Pie yells.
“Oh! That’s great news!”
>You better pay attention to the swimming event.

>You quickly run towards the pool next to the large stadium which is mostly used for soccer and football matches, only to find a large crowd supporting both Tigers and Penguins.
>No Canterlot High fans around tho…wait! There they are, packed between both Tigers and Penguins’ crowds.
>If a fight were to break loose, they could get hurt.
>Man, how long were you out like a light?
>The event is almost ending.
>You quickly join your team and find which players are participating for this event.
>Brawly Beats, Ringo, Sandalwood, Derpy, and Cloudy Kicks.
>Cloudy looks so cute in that swimsuit.
>Derpy…well, she put her swimsuit on inside out.
>You let out a chuckle.
“Hey guys!”
>”Anon!” Trixie happily greets you, “you finally woke up! Mind explaining what happened back there with Sunset?”
“I uh…kinda congratulated her, and my hand missed her back.”
>Trixie lifts an eyebrow.
>”O-kay?…Come on! The event is almost ending. You brought your phone right?”
“Uh, I believe I did, why?”
>”Because the Great and Powerful Trixie has improved her beautiful trick…everyone will be bedazzled at my performance today and I want you to record it! Do you understand how important this is for Trixie?”
>You nod.
“Yeah, you can count with me…it’ll be the cherry on top of the cake, the cake being us winning all four events today.”
>”Huh, would you look at that…just you saying that makes Trixie feel, inspired! Thanks a lot Anonymous, you’re alright; and Trixie is not used saying that to anyone.”
“Yeah, I believe that’s true, thanks Trix. Once you get to the platform you’ll shine!”
>”EEEE!” Trixie lets out a fangirl squeal as she can picture herself out doing an amazing performance, “Trixie has to go! She has to get changed.”
>Trixie pulls out something out of her gym bag and smashes it against the floor.
>PFFFFFT
>You cough.
>Not another one of her damn smokescreens. Dang it!
>You swat your arms around to make the smoke disappear and come closer to your team’s bench.
>Everyone looks happy to see you, and at the same time, they all want to know what happened between you and Sunset Shimmer.
“Ask Sunset instead guys…come on, pay attention to the event!”

>It’s Derpy’s turn now.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlNPpdoKRFQ
>She graciously submerges in the water and starts swimming as fast as possible.
>“Keep it up Derpy!” Rainbow Dash cheers.
>”Man, who would’ve thought Derpy could be such a good swimmer?” Flash adds.
>”I still remember the first time she got inside the pool and all we could see was her feet and legs moving one way and the other,” Lyra says before letting out a giggle.
>”All we need to teach her now is how to put on that swimsuit properly…” Sweetie Drops adds.
>”Look at those times dude!” Rainbow Dash says.
>You look at the scoreboard.
“Awesome!”
>Ringo and the others did quite amazing times.
>They are almost on par with Rainbow Dash’s.
>Rainbow Dash punches your arm.
>”Well thought Anon, if we stayed with the same teams and training we would’ve been eliminated for sure.”
>You let out a chuckle.
“Owww, well, what can I say other than I should be the captain don’t you think?”
>Rainbow Dash laughs.
>”Very funny Anon…”
>Derpy gets out of the water and Cloudy Kicks quickly jumps into the pool.
>The other players can’t keep up with Cloudy Kicks.
>In almost a minute, she reaches the end of the pool, and the event comes to an end.
>[“AND IT’S ANOTHER WIN FOR CANTERLOT HIGH!”] Pinkie Pie says.
>https://youtu.be/mewrVrF0uLs
>Cloudy Kicks emerges from the pool and you hand her a towel.
>”Thank you Anon!” She happily says, “did you see how fast I swam?”
“Yeah, you were almost like a shark!”
>Cloudy lets out a giggle as everyone comes around her to congratulate her magnificent perfornance.
>[“With this, it’s practically impossible for the other teams to qualify…according to my calculations, the Cogs, who are next to the Wondercolts need about a thousand points to win. But the Tigers and Penguins-”]
>You see both Tigers and Penguins’ captains arguing and cursing at each other.
>[“-seem to not care about the tournament and instead prefer fighting as always…”] Twilight adds with a sigh.

>http://picosong.com/wc42x/
>”Well, we’re already qualified,” Rainbow Dash says, “I’d recommend taking things easy now. Thanks Trixie, but a simple dive will do for today.”
>”B-but…” Trixie looks quite disheartened.
>Poor Trixie.
“Actually Rainbow…”
>”Huh?”
>Trixie looks at you.
“While that sounds like a good idea…I believe everyone should aim for the best score, that’ll get Superintendent Discord and the sceptics off our back for any kind of cheating accusations don’t you think?”
>”Well…”
“Forget about the Bonus points, and let Trixie do her trick…it’ll get the top score that’s for sure.”
>”I agree! Ah did mah best to defeat the Meanie Princess over there,” Applejack says with a cocky smile, “I even managed to beat you as well Rainbow Dash.”
>”Alright people, you heard what the rookie said. Aria, Sonata, Tennis Match, Bulk Biceps and…Trixie, you’re up.”
>”Yaaay!” Trixie claps in a cute way.
>”Just don’t over do it Trixie,” Rainbow Dash says.
>”And for goodness sake, double check if your swimsuit’s strings are well tied sugarcube,” Applejack adds.
>”Or better! Don’t!” Brawly Beats says with a pervy and goofy smile, “you wouldn’t want to hide your beautiful bosoms under that swi-AGH!”
>Trixie just threw a sunscreen bottle directly at Brawly’s face.
>”Dude…just stop it okay?” Flash Sentry says as him and Ringo help Brawly get on his feet, “this is getting awkward.”
>”Owww…okay, I’ll stop.”
>Bulk Biceps look nervous.
“You okay big guy?”
>”NO! I-I mean…no Anon, I feel like; I can’t do it!”
“Why?”
>”I’m simply too big! What if I ruin it for everyone! I’ll splash so much water!”
“Don’t worry, you’ve practiced enough and I believe you can dive without splashing water at all.”
>”You sure?”
>[“To all captains! Please gather your team to the high diving boards to start the event in a minute!”] Twilight happily says.
“Yah, I mean…from almost emptying a pool to splashing ten inches of water I’d say you’re ready to do a perfect dive.”
>You see how everyone is gathering around the high diving boards.
“In fact, you should be the first one to dive…to show everyone how it’s done.”
>http://picosong.com/wc4gi/
>Bulk Biceps eyes are now filled with courage and his body gains strength beyond physical levels.
>”Huh…thanks Anon! Now I feel better!”
“Wait!”
>You cover your ears with both hands.
“Ok, carry on.”
>”YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”
>Better safe than sorry.
>Bulk Biceps runs to the High Diving boards.
>”What about me Anon?” Trixie says.
“Pffft…what about you Trix? It’s obvious you’ll be the last one to dive, because you’ll leave everyone shocked with your performance; it’s gonna be a blast.”
>”EEEE!” Trixie hugs you, “I will not let you down Anon!”
>Before she does…she makes sure no one else is around and plants a quick kiss on your cheek.
“?!?!”
>http://picosong.com/wc4uq/
>”Thank you so much for your support Anon…you sure are someone a girl can rely on.”
“Uhhhhh…”
>She lets out a cute giggle and then walks to the high diving boards.
>As she passes by both the Penguins and Tigers she lets out a laugh.
>”Watch and learn fools…how the true queen of high diving does it!”
>Man, everyone seems so pumped up.
>You touch the cheek Trixie just kissed.
>”Havin’ fun today aren’t you Anon?”
>You turn your head around your shoulder only to find-
“Sunset!”
>-standing right behind you with a cocky smile on her face.
>She walkt to where you’re standing.
>”I really don’t know how you aren’t our captain instead Anon…”
“M-me? Come on Sunset…don’t say things like that, Rainbow is doing a great job as a captain.”
>”I never said she wasn’t…however, I find it funny how many of our teammates really love how you inspire them to be better.”
“Gee, I don’t know what to say Sunset.”
>She places a hand on your shoulder.
>”I don’t know how much your Seacrest County’s classmates hurt you but, you didn’t deserve any of that Anon, but forget about them already, it was their loss.”
“…”
>”Come on, let’s end this event once and for all okay?”
“Okay.”

>[”And now ladies and gentlemen, the LAST event for today and due to time constraints, the high dives will be reduce from 3 to 1 and the fact that if we keep this going both Penguins and Tigers will destroy each other…”]
>Both Penguins and Tigers fans are on the verge of a fight.
>[“The end of this event will declare Group 1’s winner; will it be Canterlot High, or will San Franciscolt be able to win miraculously? According to my calculations it can be done Pinkie!”]
>[“What about the Penguins or the Tigers Twilight?”]
>[“Well, they can sure aspire to be the third place but…I don’t really know if they care at all.”]
>[“Our first contestant is…really? Bulk Biceps?”] Pinkie Pie says.
>http://picosong.com/wc4ZA/
>Bulk Biceps starts climbing the high diving board.
>And doesn’t stop.
>[“So it seems, let’s see if the Wondercolt’s captain, Rainbow Dash, took the right decision.”]
>Rainbow Dash points at you in a way that certainly makes you feel accused.
>[“I see…”] Twilight adds, [“so! Let’s see how it goes.”]
>Once Bulk Biceps reaches the top of the highest platform, he lets out a loud “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!” and jumps off.
>There we go.
>Bulk Biceps does a couple of flips before falling into the pool.
>Your teammates are waiting for the worst to happen.
>Bulk Biceps enters the pool and splashes no water at all.
>[“H-he did it…”] Twilight says.
>Superintendent Discord and Celestia can’t believe it.
>[“HE DID IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! The big guy did it!”]
>The crowd goes wild! And he gets nothing but 10s as a score!
>[“A PERFECT SCORE!”]
>http://picosong.com/wc4AN/
>”He did it! I can’t believe it!” Rainbow Dash jumps in the same spot letting out fangirl squeals.
>Bulk comes out of the pool and is cheered on by your teammates.
>Celestia and Luna hug each other while Superintendent Discord crushes a pen with his hand.
>”Anon!” He yells.
>You look at him.
>Bulk Biceps gives you thumbs up, and you reply to him in the same way.
>[“B-but it’s physically impossible, a guy with a ‘mass’ like his couldn’t-“]
>[“Twilight Twilight Twilight…don’t you understand? It’s not all about physics and math, but heart and passion instead.”]
“In your face Egghead Sparkle!” You say.
>You all look at the scoreboard go up.
>”I-Impossible!” Platinum Star, the Penguin’s Captain blurts out, “how can those poor…punks defeat us?! They don’t even have a freakin’ pool!”
“Five million dollars to build this stadium? Yeah, money well spent,” you say as you shrug in a mocking way.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjE5A4UAJI
>”Oh yeah green boy?!” Platinum Star angrily says as he takes off his shirt revealing his muscular body, “you’re history!”
>Oh crap!
>Looks like you really pissed him off!
>Bulk Biceps quickly stands up in between.
>”You got any beef with my friend Platinum Star?”
>”Don’t worry brah; we got your back…” Flash Sentry says, as him, Big Mac and the rest of the guys step in as well.
>Platinum Star feels intimidated by Bulk Biceps’ monstrous biceps.
>”Whatever…you’re all still poor,” he mumbles before going back with his team.
>”Hohohoho….what’s the matter honey?” Fizzy Champagne says, “scared of a bunch of hicks?”
>”…S-shut up.”

>Minutes pass by.
>Sonata got a great score, 9’s.
>Aria got a nice score 8’s and 9’s, but plenty of looks at her skimpy swimsuit.
>You all got slapped by her, but…it was worth it.
>Tennis Match got 8’s, and it was a good dive.
>The Cogs can’t keep up with you, and all the Tigers and Penguins get are bad scores.
>They seem that the only thing they have in mind is out perform each other.
>Their ‘rivalry’ sure is stupid.
>[“And now ladies and gentlemen, ‘The Great and Powerful Trixie!”] Pinkie says.
>[“She asked us to call her like that by the way.”] Twilight adds in an annoyed tone of voice, upsetting Trixie.
>Trixie looks kinda nervous.
>”Please stop wasting our time young lady,” Superintendent Discord says on the microphone.
>Asshole.
“Don’t listen to him Trix! Do your thing!” You yell at her as you take out your phone and start recording Trixie and give her a thumbs up.
>Trixie only looks at you, nodding, then she clears her throat.
>http://picosong.com/wc4tx/
>”Behold mortals! At the power of the Greatest of all, the most Powerful and the Most Beautiful of all…TRRRRRIXIE!!!!!”
>She smashes a smokescreen on the platform, and when the smoke clears, she has already changed into a new outfit.
>”I love it when she does that…” Brawly Beats says.
>(“Did you see that?!”) A Penguins’ supporter says.
>(“Whoa…how did she-?!”) A Tigers’ fan can’t even form a proper sentence.
>The officials look quite impressed.
>Yes, even Superintendent Discord.
>Trixie lights a couple of flares, one blue and the other red.
>The crowd goes wild!
>Trixie closes her eyes and jumps off the platform.
>[“She does a loop…”]
>[“Two…”]
>[“THREE!”]
>And lastly, Trixie submerges in the water, splashing no water at all.
>Every crowd goes wild, including both Tigers and Penguins.
>[“They did it! The Wondercolts did it! They won every single event!”] Pinkie Pie yells.
>[“Indeed, and you know what that means Pinkie Pie…they have qualified to the Round of Sixteen!”]
>http://picosong.com/wc4ra/
>Your team celebrates.
>Superintendent Discord just stands up in a fit of rage and leaves the premises.
>Both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna hug each other.
>Trixie comes out of the pool and everyone runs to congratulate her.
“That was incredible Trix!”
>”I know Anon, I know…” she coldly says.
“…”
>”I’m just kidding! We did it you big dummy!” Trixie says before jumping in your arms to hug you.
>You barely manage to catch her in mid-air and you slip right into the pool.
“WHOA!”
>”EEEK!”
>You both fall in the pool, soaking you wet.
>Your team laughs and keeps congratulating each other.
>[“And that’s all folks…”] Pinkie Pie says, [“What a furious match!”]
>[“And now…let’s get to the award ceremony!”]
>Officials and staff start to build a podium for the winners and bring out the trophies.
>You both emerge from the pool.
“Aww man, I’m all wet…”
>”Sorry Anon, here…have my towel,” Trixie says as she hands you her towel.
”Thanks Trix...” you say as you take off your shirt and wring it, “boy that was quite an amazing dive, and I got it all on camera.”
>”Oooh! May I see it?”
”Sure Trix, hang on…”
>You tap your wet pocket.
“Oh no…”
>You take your ruined phone out of your pocket.
“…”
>”Whoopsie, sorry Anon.”

>Minutes later.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J4HfwpkTE4
>The Principal of the Penguins taps on the microphone.
>”It’s time for the individual prizes everyone, let’s start with my disappointing school and team.”
“Harsh…”
>Sunset Shimmer giggles.
>”For the Most Carried Award…it goes to Platinum Star, who did not participate in any event.”
>The scoreboard goes down for the Penguins.
>The Tigers celebrate the Penguins’ 4th place.
>”Hohohoho…see Platinum Star? The Tigers are better at everything.”
>”Due to the cheating teams a new trophy was added,” The Principal says, “the Bad Sport award goes to Fizzy Champagne!”
>A screenshot of her pulling on Applejack’s hair appears on the large screen.
>”-and Prickly Cacti!”
>A screenshot of him hitting Curly Winds in the stomach appairs on the large screen as well.
>”BOOOOOOO!” Every crowd goes.
>Points are deducted from the Tigers.
>Huh…the points between Tigers and Penguins are the same, and now they both share 3rd place.
>None of them can say their two teams won nor lost.
>Rainbow Dash and Applejack laugh at them.
>”Most aggressive award goes to…wow, two players! Flash Sentry and Applejack of Canterlot High!”
>(“Wooo!”)
>(”Go Flash!”) The ladies of Canterlot High cheer for him.
>“Congrats sister…” Big Mac says to Applejack.
>”Thanks big bro.”
>Flash looks at Twilight, who gives him a very awkward thumbs up.
>”S-she cares!” Flash says as he picks up his prize.
>(“Most technical prize goes to…Bulk Biceps!”)
>You place your hands over your ears.
>”YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH…” he yells as he goes to pick up his prize.
>”The underdog award goes to…Winter Tune of San Fran Academy!”
>Hooray.
>”And last but not least…the MVP prize goes to TRIXIE of Canterlot High!”
>”YES! I WIN!”
>Your team looks at Trixie in disbelief.
>”It’s a joke you guys, we won!”
>”Yeah!” Everyone cheers as she gets her trophy.
>”Now, for Miss Rainbow Dash, captain of Canterlot High, she’s been awarded with the Ministry’s Special Award…given to the winning team’s captain.”
>”Really?” Rainbow Dash says, “wow…”
>”And with this, we conclude the event! Thanks everyone for participatin! And congratulations to Canterlot High!” The Principal happily says.
>The Penguins’ team members jeer at you all.
>”SHUT UP YOU LOSERS! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!” Their Principal yells at his pupils.
>The Penguins retreat to their locker room.
>”Congratulations Canterlot High…” San Franciscolt Academy’s players say as they shake their hands with you all.
>You respectfully say your goodbyes to them.
>To the Tigers however…
>”Hey Fizzy!” Rainbow Dash says to catch her attention.
>”What do you-“
>SPLAT!
>Rainbow Dash just threw a tomato right at her face.
>”We’re even now…”
>Rainbow Dash taunts Fizzy Champagne…enjoying the shadenfraude complete with pointing, a superlative laugh, and a 360° jump, proper of a certain fast person from Buckston, MA.
>Fizzy Champagne starts to tear up and runs away from your team crying loudly.
>She totally deserved that.
“Well…what now?”
>Rainbow Dash looks at her trophy.
>”You know what Anon, I can’t have this…” she says as she hands you her trophy.
“What?! N-no Rainbow! It’s yours!”
>”This award is for the captain of the winning team, and today…you were much more of a captain than I was.”
>Your teammates agree with her.
“Gee…I don’t know what to say Rainbow.”
>”Here you go dude, you deserve it much more than me.”
“Thanks Rainbow.
>”From now on I promise to be a better captain and not doubt any of you all.”
>”YAAAY! 1-2-3 The Wondercolts are gonna win!” Everyone cheers.
>Yes…including Aria.
>The staff starts turning off the stadiums’ lights, and the crowds leave the premises.
>Your supporters however, stay, and keep cheering for your team.
>Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna run towards your position to congratulate you all…
>You feel a tap on your back.
>http://picosong.com/wc5yq/
>You turn your head around your shoulder and find no one other than-
“R-Rarity!”
>”Surprised to see me dearie?”
“Well I-I sure am…haha, how did the staff let you get this far?“
>”Don’t worry about that darling, what’s that you have in your hands?”
"Uhh...a trophy."
>"You deserve it Anon. I'm so proud of you."
>Rarity smooches your cheek.
"R-Rares..."
>"Now..."
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5O_W8yDig4
>"What was that all about with Sunset Shimmer and Trixie huh?!"
"I-I can explain!"
>"You're in trouble now Anon..." Sunset giggles, "good luck!"
"Help me Sunset!"
>Rarity pulls your ear.
"OW!"
>"We have A LOT of things to talk about Anon..."
“Sunseeeet!”
>”That’s what you get for that pinch you dummy,” Sunset says with a laugh.

>Two days later…
>Monday, 7:45 A.M.
>You’re now Rainbow Dash, and you’re about to arrive to school.
>You didn’t bother to gather the team this early in the morning. They could really use some rest.
>After all, they mustn’t have fully recovered from the big party Flash Sentry threw at his crib yesterday.
>Your head still hurts, and you didn’t get much sleep either.
>But it was a great party, you think to yourself.
>It’s a shame Anon had to leave early, especially when it was starting to get good.
>You still laugh at how Twilight had to slap Flash for trying to kiss her.
>He’ll never learn…
>Or how Bulk Biceps ate everything on sight, and how Trixie and Brawly Beats kissed after a game of truth or dare.
>She kicked his butt afterwards for asking such a ridiculous dare.
>You see a figure running on the school’s soccer pitch.
>http://picosong.com/wcVLh/
>No way, it’s-
>“Hi captain!”
“ANON!”
>Man, he really looks in great shape today!
>He runs towards you to greet you.
”Dude? What are you doing?” You say with a smile.
>“Training…”
“Yeah but…I didn’t ask you to come.”
>”I know but, I can’t break the habit of exercising this early anymore…so! I decided to keep training, especially when I got tired at the competition. I ran 3 km today and didn’t get tired, I’m aiming for 5 km now.”
”Oh yeah…Sunset told me about that yesterday at the party,” you say with a laugh, “I think she said it right after you were gone.”
>”Well uh, I-“ Anon doesn’t know what to say, looking quite embarrassed.
”So that’s why you left, hahaha. Good call there dude! Rarity was furious!”
>”Yeah, I figured…” Anon says as he shows you his restored phone, revealing a bunch of angry texts coming from her, “I don’t know what she would’ve done to me if I had stayed.”
“You wouldn’t be standing here today Anon, that’s for sure! Glad your phone is okay as well.”
>”Yep, the rice worked pretty well to get all the water out. Say, what are you doing here this early?”
“I didn’t want to miss school, so I didn’t get much sleep last night.”
>”Huh?”
”I just got back home from Flash’s place at 4 A.M. I took a shower, a nap and asked dad to wake me up, he hates it when I ask him to do that.”
>“Why’s that?”
”I really get cranky when someone else wakes me up…I uh, punched him in the face when he was telling me to wake up.”
>Anon laughs out loud.
>”Ahahaha Rainbow! You serious?! AHAHAHA!”
“That’s not funny dude…”
>”Don’t fall asleep in class if you don’t want to get suspended for punching a teacher, or even worse, Principal Celestia.”
>Anon wipes away a tear and gradually stops laughing.
”Anyways…we should get going, go take a shower! You stink!”
>”Yah, see you at lunch okay?”
“See ya!”

>Lunch time.
>You are barely conscious.
>You really want to sleep on your comfy bed.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ
>Fortunately, you’re not alone.
>All of your friends are gathered at the usual table, almost falling asleep as well.
>”Ughhh…my head,” Sonata says.
>”Never again…” Tennis Match mumbles.
>”Ahh man, I had a beautiful dream in history class where I died…” Brawly Beats adds.
>The only one missing is-
>”MORNIN’ EVERYONE!” Anon happily says.
>Everyone covers their ears.
>”Arrrgh, don’t speak so loud newbie…” Aria says, “why are you so happy?”
>”Yeah…right now I could use shy Anon instead of bossy Anon,” Sonata adds, “does anyone have any ice for my head?”
>”Don’t listen to them sugarcube, we just…partied too much yesterday,” Applejack adds.
>”Yeah, and you left early Nonny…how rude!” Pinkie Pie says, “you were the guest of honor yesterday and you didn’t even care!”
>”I was?”
“Yeah dude…all you did was stand in a corner while we danced. It almost felt like you didn’t want to be there.”
>”I’m sorry, I just…remembered I had something important to do; anyways…” Anon says with a sigh, “the Round of Sixteen is finally here! And Principal Celestia has asked me to show you all how the teams were set. Besides, we’ll have to participate in new events. Superintendent Discord’s orders…”
”Lemme take a look at that…”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-LopWGRR0w
“Oh man…”

>”What’s wrong?” Anon asks.
”Guys! Could you stop being whiny for a few minutes and take a look at this? This is serious!”
>Everyone looks at the chart.
>”…Something’s different,” Sonata says.
“Of course something’s different Sonata, as you all can see, we will face Kindiak Park’s Saints next week, only them.”
>”Why?” Applejack asks.
>Anon pulls out a new rulebook and hands it to Twilight.
>”Hmm…let’s see, apparently the events will be changing in every phase of the tournament. And each event will be focused on a ‘versus’ format that can’t include more than two teams at once.”
>”What about the events sugarcube?”
>”These will be the round of sixteen’s events,” Twilight clears her throat, “Basketball, Pole Vault, High Jump, and Karate!”
“Not bad!”
>”We will also be hosting these games! Kindiak Park High will be the ones visiting us!” Anon says.
”Huh?!”
>Everyone is confused as well.
>”What?”
>”Really?”
>”Seriously?! Even when this school is kinda fallin’ apart?”
>Anon hands Twilight a letter.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7mUyhntqpE
> “Dear Principal Celestia”
>  It is my duty to inform you that Kindiak Park High’s courts are not in the best condition to host the games at all, so the Board of Directors’ ruled your school was at a sufficient enough condition to host the games because all you need is the basketball court and the soccer pitch, which your lousy school has.
> Please don’t screw up and get the preparatives ready. For once…
> t. Superintendent Discord.
> P.S. No, the Ministry of Education won’t give you funds for this tiny event. Just ask Scruffy the janitor to dig a few holes on the soccer pitch and fill them with sand, it’s that easy!
> P.S.S. If you don’t get things ready for the next Saturday Kindiak Park will advance and you and your sister will be FIRED!
>”I hate that guy…” Heath Burns says.
>”Ditto…” Tennis Match adds.
>”Same rules…yadda yadda, 5 players for each event, yeah you guys can do it!” Twilight says.
“Easy peasy!”
>”…uh, guys?”
”Yes Anon?”
>”…anyone here knows Karate?”
>Total silence.
“We might have a little problem here…”

>Hours later.
>Classes have ended for the day.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9zyuT92iQU
”Dude, can you help me with something?” You ask Anon.
>”Sure Dash…what is it?” Anon replies.
”I need to ask Principal Celestia to get things ready so we can start our training for those two events. But I’m kinda nervous to see her…you know why.”
>”Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Don’t worry, she must’ve relaxed by now after she saw how we wiped the floor with those fools.”
“You think?” you happily say.
>”Yeah, I mean…we won all the events last Saturday, so! She should be a little more trusting now.”
>Anon whispers into your ear.
>(”Perhaps you can ask for more privileges for you and the rest of us as well.”)
“Doesn’t seem like a bad idea, come on dude, follow me!”

>A few minutes later.
>Anon knocks on Principal Celestia’s door.
>There’s no response.
“Okay she’s not here…let’s go.”
>Anon opens the door.
“Dude! What are you doing?!”
>”Principal Celestia? You there?”
>You both find Principal Celestia, with her head resting on her desk.
>”Yikes!” Anon says, “what’s wrong with her?”
 “She’s never looked this…awful before!”
>”Poor thing, she must be tired.”
“Yo, Principal Celestia…you alright?” 
>”Looks like she’s fast asleep…”
“Out like a light huh?” You let out a malicious laugh.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfngLGtTZeI
>”What are you gonna do Rainbow Dash?” Anon asks.
“Shh…”
>You come closer to Celestia’s side.
“Man, she’s even uglier up close, look at those crow’s feet.”
>”What are you doing?! Get back here!”
>You nudge Principal Celestia’s shoulder a bit, and there’s still no response.
>You grab a sticky note and a pen from her desk and scribble something on it.
“Hehehe…”
>You place a bunch of sticky notes on Celestia’s back with little messages written on them.
>Anon comes closer.
>”Come on Dash, that’s mean…and quite lewd, if I might add.”
“Don’t be such a party pooper Anon, she really has made my life miserable for the past few weeks and I’m gonna make her pay.”
>Principal Celestia moves her head a bit.
>She’s still asleep.
>You grab a marker from her desk and start scribbling on her face.
>Anon does his best to contain his laughter.
”Wanna try?” You ask.
>”Heck no, I don’t want to die…”

”You’re no fun Anon…”
>”Mmmh? Huh? Anon?”
>Oh crud.
>She’s awake!
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9b3oYfk4s
>”ANON! RAINBOW DASH! What are you two doing here?”
“Uhh…I, uhh-“
>”We had something important to ask you Principal Celestia; we just got here! You didn’t answer your door so, we just walked in.” Anon calmly explains.
>Smooooth.
>”Really?”
“Yeah! Uhh…nice weather we’re having don’t you think Principal Celestia?”
>”No…I feel so hot right now, I hate summer! It makes me sweat and I think my panties are sticking into my- wait, why am I telling you this?! What do you want?!” Celestia angrily says after realizing her mistake.
>”Wow…” Anon says under his breath.
“We uh, just wanted to ask you if you can get things done for us to train.”
>”Oh that, yeah…I surely can. I know how important this is, but with the tight budget I have to work with, it’s pretty complicated. Ugh, now I wish Kindiak Park’s court and bleachers weren’t attacked by termites.”
>”We understand Principal…”
”Guess we’ll have to train on our own terms, again…” you sarcastically say.
>”Sorry guys, I wish we could help you more…but the things will be ready at most this Thursday.”
>”Don’t worry about it Principal Celestia, do whatever you must…shame Superintendent Discord is never willing to help.”
“Yeah, what’s up with that Principal? Why is he a grade-A jerk to you?”
>Principal Celestia sighs.
>”It’s getting late, we’ll have to discuss that some other day okay?” She says with a genuine, but tiresome smile.
>Ouch, now you kinda feel bad over what you did to her.
>Her job is on the line after all…
>As you both leave you both bump into Vice Principal Luna.
>”Hey! If it isn’t our school’s champs. What are you two doing here?” She asks.
>”We were just-“
>”Training? Oh you two are amazing. You’re makin’ us proud! Don’t you want to have some tea with me and my sister? We really need to discuss your performance.”
>OH NO!
>“-no thanks VP Luna, the team is waiting for us! Oh! Would you look at the time!”
>Anon grabs you by your hand and starts to walk a bit faster.
>”Maybe some other time okay?”
>”Good luck Wondercolts!”
>Vice Principal Luna enters Principal Celestia’s office.
>[”…AHAHAHAHAH!”]
>[“What’s so funny Luna?”]
>Minutes later.
>”That was close…you happy now Rainbow?” Anon scolds.
“Ehh…I dunno, I thought it’d be funny at first, but now I feel awful.”
>”You’ll be in lots of trouble.”
“And why didn’t you stop me?! We’re both in this!”
>”Heck no! What you did was wrong…kinda funny, but wrong. Come on, let’s get out of here before Celestia starts chasing after-”
>[”RAINBOW DAAAAAAASH!”] Celestia’s powerful scream can be heard through the school’s hallways.
“Crud…she’s onto us Anon!”
>…
“Anon?”
>You turn around and find no one by your side.
>You see Anon running away from school. It looks like he escaped by jumping out of a window.
“Wait for me you coward!”
>Before you manage to jump off the window, you feel a hand grabbing onto your shoulder.
>You turn around and find a furious Celestia.
>https://puu.sh/AIqJw/6c663a0b24.png
“Eheheh, hey Principal Celestia, umm…that’s a nice red moustache you have.”
>”Detention. NOW!” She yells at you before she pulls you back into the building.

>Hours later.
>8:07 P.M.
>You asked your team via IM to meet up at the mall’s fountain, your go-to place to meet up with your friends after a hard day of work.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji38ZBQRHH4
”Is everyone here?”
>”Sunset’s not here yet, her shift ended seven minutes ago!” Pinkie Pie says.
>“Should we wait for her?” Fluttershy says.
>”There she is!” Lyra says.
>”Hey guys…” Sunset says wearing that Sushi outfit both Anon and Flash seem to dig a bit too much, “sorry for the delay…it was my turn to clean up.”
“Don’t worry about it Sunset. Glad you all made it-”
>”Well duh, we all have a job at the mall except for you Anon!” Brawly Beats interrupts, “how come you don’t have a job yet?”
>”A job? Heh…I don’t need one,” Anon smugly says, “I’m doing fine on my own.”
>Anon takes a look at one of his strange apps, then frowns.
>”Damn LTC…” he says, trying to keep calm.
“Uh huh…well as I was saying, I regret to inform you that we’ll have to train on our own again.”
>”Ugh…seriously?” Sweetie Drops says, “what’s up with Celestia? Can’t she do anything right?”
“Believe it or not, she’s really trying…Superintendent Discord said there were no funds to get the proper equipment until Thursday. So, we are on our own…however I do not plan to lose 2 days worth of training because of him.”
>”Well, what are we gonna do now huh?!” Aria says with her usual irritated tone of voice.
“Shut up, sit down…relax, I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do.”
>Everyone listens to you.
“First we’re gonna set up our own equipment…then we’re gonna win the contest.”
>”But how?” Heath Burn adds.
“Applejack? Mind lendin’ us your farm for a bit?”
>”The farm? Hmmm, doesn’t sound like a bad idea sugarcube! Big Mac and Ah can get the things ready…use hay bales as gym mats. Yeah, it can happen sugarcube!”
“Awesome! So that’s two events set. We can practice Basketball at the school’s gym.”
>”Wait! We can’t!” Anon says, “Celestia has to get things ready…we’re better off practicing at the Park’s courts, I mean…one of the school’s hoops is broken after all.”
“Yeah, you’re right Anon…”
>”Now, the thing we should worry about is…the last event,” Trixie says, “I certainly do NOT want to get my beautiful face kicked in by some monkey on steroids!”
>”Let’s learn the basics shall we?” Twilight proposes as she puts her tablet on the table you’re all gathered and plays a video in it.
>You all watch how a Karate match plays out.
>”Hmm…that doesn’t look too much complicated,” Heath Burns says, “they’re just hopping around and-“
>”OHHH! That’s gotta hurt...” Derpy says.
>”Well…how about this? We tell the refs all of us died training!” Sonata says.
>Everyone gives Sonata their best ‘are you for real?’ look.
>”I was just saying…” she says 
>”Oh wow! That leg shouldn’t bend like that!” Sweetie Drops says.
>”Hmm, I’m totally digging this…” Aria says before she lets out an evil laugh.
>”Fortunately that’s an illegal move,” Twilight Sparkle says, “there’s no way the Board would allow injuries like these to happen.”
>”Thank goodness…” Lyra adds, “I’m kinda nervous now, can we watch the other events instead?”
>”I don’t think you can afford to postpone this event dearie,” Rarity says to your teammate before turning her face and batting her pretty eyes at her crush, “as always, Anon is right…”
>Anon just lets out an uncomfortable laugh.
>”You must learn karate…you must!”
>”Easier said than done Rarity…” Brawly Beats says as he lifts an eyebrow and crossing his arms, “besides, let me remind you who’s actually working their butts off here regardless of the dirt, heat and sweat.”
>“Hey…that’s not very nice Brawly,” Anon says in an annoyed tone of voice, surprising everyone at the table, “apologize to Rares…”
>”For what?! I just said what had to be done! She’s not participating at all! Remember that she-“
>”-designed and made the uniforms for us? And that she supports us every day as well? Don’t be rude and apologize to her right now!” Anon says in a more intimidating tone of voice.
>You take a look at Rarity.
>…yeah, it’s THAT look she always does whenever she gets too excited or happy.
>She’s so bad at hiding it!
>”Tch. Fine…sorry Rarity,” Brawly Beats apologizes to Rarity.
>”No offense taken dearie,” she replies to Brawly Beats before winking at Anon.
>Hmm, so Anon is starting to show a little more aggression…
>Guess you can use his newly found confidence to win.
>You owe Rarity a lot for trusting Anon from the very beginning.
>What a remarkable guy he is…
>Wait, you’re not crushing on him are you?!
>Eww no! That’d be gross!
>”Well then genius,” Brawly Beats says, “any ideas on how we should train for karate?”
>”I guess…” Anon ponders a thought.
>Everyone including yourself pay attention to him.
>He crosses his arms and lets out a sigh.
>http://picosong.com/w9wBF/
>”I have no idea…”
>”GAH!” Everyone goes at the same time.
>”What do you mean you don’t know?!” Aria says by pulling him by his shirt, “we don’t have much time to screw around Anon!”
>”Kicking my butt doesn’t count if it isn’t done the Karate way Aria…” Anon calmly replies.
>Aria looks at him, lifts an eyebrow then lets out a chuckle.
>”Yeah, you’re right Anon…”
>Aria releases her grip on Anon’s shirt and he dusts it off.
>”Don’t worry though…if the Board of Directors and that excuse of a Superintendent want us to learn karate they’ll get what they ask for…” Anon says before letting out a chuckle and standing up.
>That seemed to lift everyone’s hopes up. 
>You can’t believe how much Anon has changed…it’s like he was a totally different person!
>”We should go back to our homes to get some rest don’t you think?”
>”Yeah…that’d be great, I had a difficult day at work today,” Sunset Shimmer says as she takes off that ridiculous puffer fish hair knot which lets her hair fall down, attracting every guy’s attention.
>Even Anon’s, fortunately Rarity didn’t notice him.
>Or maybe not, there’s that good ol’ Anon you like so much.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxXrBP7yTBE
>Everyone starts standing up and stretching their bodies.
>”Man, today kinda sucked…” Trixie says, “to get all this work done and then a new challenge to accept? It’s all so sudden if you ask me.”
“You think you got it bad? I got suspended for playing a prank on Principal Celestia.”
>”A prank? Again? Sheesh Rainbow Dash, when will you ever learn?” Applejack nags.
“You should’ve seen Celestia’s face…oh man, it was amazing. Anon was there and thought it was great, right Anon?”
>Anon shrugs.
“Oh come on! As if you’d have the guts to pull off a prank like that…”
>”Will we meet up at the usual time tomorrow?” Sonata asks, “I mean like, I could get some more sleep…”
“Nah…we’ll train after school ends. Perhaps Principal Celestia will let us train tomorrow more time by skipping a few classes.”
>”You…scribbled on her face captain,” Anon says.
“Bahahah! Don’t remind me…” you interrupt with a big laugh, “it’s still funny! I kinda feel bad about it but then I remember how many times she’s made my life impossible.”
>”Whatever you say sugarcube…I’m going home, see ya,” Applejack says, “come on big bro…AB and Granny must be waitin’ for us.”
>”Eeeyup.”
>”Night everybody!” Twilight happily says.
>Everyone says their goodbyes and goes on their ways.
>Once the coast is clear you go after Anon and eventually catch up with him.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr9SR6hmTPw
”Yo Anon!”
>”Hmm? What is it captain?”
“Thanks a lot.”
>”For what?”
“Dunno…I mean uh, I well-“
>Anon lifts an eyebrow.
”For the words you said before…that really was inspiring dude. You really make me feel we might actually be able to win this thing, Seacrest County High and all.”
>Anon smiles.
>”Gee Capt-“
“Dash is fine dude…”
>Anon was surprised by that.
>Seeing his cute face for some reason, makes you feel you can’t look away from his gaze.
>”How ‘bout Dashie?” Anon puts on a cocky smile, “I’ve heard Panka call you that. And I think it’s a cute nickname.”
>You blush, but then you swallow a little bit of your pride.
“Golly um, yeah…Dashie is fine. Just don’t let Rarity hear you when you say that, you understand?”
>”I think I can…oh! And by the way.”
>Anon quickly swats his arm to lift your skirt.
>Everyone around to look at your panties.
“DUDE?!”
>”Just letting you know…I DO have the guts to pull off a prank.” He says after releasing his grip on your skirt and then turning around.
>Your heart starts beating a bit faster.
>”See you tomorrow Dashie.”
>You let out a defeated sigh.
“Be glad I don’t know karate yet dude…”

>Minutes later.
>You’re now Anon.
>Right now you’re chilling in your room doing your homework and checking out what’s new on the internet.
>All of a sudden, you receive a text message from Nelly.
>[“hi Anon <3 how r u?”]
>Huh.
>Nelly, might as well reply to her. Maybe she can either help you or just listen to your problems.
[”Hey Nelly…not much, just kinda worried.”]
>Nelly is typing…
>[“But why?”]
[“Ah, it’s about the new events, we haven’t been able to train cuz we lack the equipment and the worst part is…none of us know karate!”]
>[“Really? That’s terri- wait…”]
>Nelly is typing…
>[“Your school is supposed to teach you karate, it’s all in the PE program! Every school can afford it.”]
[“Well for some reason, we can’t…weird isn’t it? Our principal can’t even afford good equipment, whatever that shall arrive next Thursday can’t be good. If only Kindiak Park High’s courts wasn’t infested with termites…”]
>She sends a thinking emoji.
[“What can I do? I told my team that I’d find a way to learn Karate.”]
>Nelly is typing…
>[“Well why don’t you come to Pleasantview High? I’d love to teach you! We’ll be hosting the games as well!”]
>Nelly sends a correction along with the awkward grinning face with sweat emoji.
>[“we* ”]
[“You will?!”]
>[“Yeah! I mean, we could use some actual practice, I won’t be competing after all…”]
[“That’s great Nelly! I knew I could count with you! Thanks so much!”]
>[“Yeah, we can also spend some time together after the training don’t you think?”]
>What did she mean by this?
>Nevermind…
[“Sounds good! Wait, you won’t compete anymore?”]
>[“I followed ur advice Anon, my sister ended up finding a replacement 4 me after all. It’ll be fun to see you train with her or Mirage.”]
[“Oh, hope they don’t get too rough with me…”]
>[“Mirage won’t, Sandy…maybe will.”]
>Hoo boy.
>You’d be fine to get rough with that
>[“Bell watches Sandy practice everyday too so no funny business okay? UwU ”]
>Hah, it feels like she read your mind.
>You keep chattin with Nelly until you decide enough is enough, then you to go to sleep.

>The next day.
>You’re now Rainbow Dash.
>You arrive to school after a long night’s rest and find Anon finishing his training on his own.
>He was doing push-ups.
>You let out an inspired sigh.
“Yo! Anon!”
>He notices you and waves at you.
>”Mornin’ Dashie!”
>He grabs his stuff and wipes away the sweat with a small towel.
>Unf…
“Training this early huh?”
>”Yep…and I got good news too, we’ll be able to train today.”
>Your eyes go wide.
“Really? But how?!”
>Anon nods.
>”I’ll tell everyone the news at lunch okay? I’m gonna take a shower.”
“Awwright…I can’t wait for the news.”
>Guess Anon figured out a solution like he said he would.
>Thank you sooo much Rarity!
>You check out Anon’s behind.
>Rarity does have a great taste after all.

>Hours later...
>Lunch time.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLGeYjbrWw
>Everyone is having a great time as usual at the table used for your meetings.
>Pinkie Pie is practicing her skills as a cheerleader.
>She’s wearing a wig with a rainbow pattern…just like your hair.
>The resemblance is very uncanny. You can only hope that wig isn’t made of your actual hair.
>She stacks a couple of wigs on Twilight and Fluttershy’s head, with some pony ears as well.
>”Come on girls! Show some school spirit!”
>”Pinkie! What are you doing?” Twilight asks, “can’t you see I’m busy?”
>”Doing what? More boring nerd stuff?” Pinkie replies.
>”No, I’m just checking everyone’s specs on my database,” she says with a smug grin as she types something on her laptop, “according to this baby right here you’ve all improved drastically over the time!”
>Everyone looks at Twilight’s charts.
>”Friggin awesome!” Lyra says.
>”No way! We’re amazing!” Sweetie Drops adds, “look at those times!”
>”Where’s Anon?” Flash Sentry asks, “he has to see this! His performance is almost like yours Rainbow!”
>Everyone looks around.
“Pffft! Please…he’s just good.
>You search for Anon, looking around the cafeteria’s walls.
“Huh, Anon said he had important news to tell us and that he’d meet us here at lunch time.”
>”There he is!” Rarity says.
>”Hey guys!” He happily says, this time he’s not carrying a tray full of food on top of it, which is very unusual of him.
“ ‘sup Anon? What took you so long? We were just talking about you!”
>”I was talking to Principal Celestia earlier and I finally got her permission to let us leave school early.”
>Everyone looks at each other in confusion.
>”But why?”
>”We’re going to Pleasantview High to train with their team. They have all their equipment settled and are waiting for us to be there in an hour.”
>Everyone looks even more confused by Anon’s words, including you.
>”Principal Celestia talked to Principal High Noon on the phone to see if she was okay with this, apparently Nelly Prattle begged Principal High Noon to let us train with Sandy’s team so she told Celestia we could go and train with them.”
>Rarity frowns at the mention of Nelly.
>”Nice! That Nelly girl sure is great,” Thunderbass says, “you’re very lucky Anon…”
>”Please…” Anon brushes off Thunderbass’ out-of-place comment, “come on everyone! Let’s get going!”
>”YEAH!” Everyone cheers for your teammate and promptly leave the cafeteria in a hurry.
>Before you stand up you feel a hand on your shoulder.
“Huh? What is it Rares?”
>”Keep an eye on that Nelly girl okay?”
>You let out a chuckle.
“Don’t worry about her Rarity…see ya!”

>Minutes later.
>You’re on your way to Pleasantview town, riding the school’s bus with your teammates.
>http://picosong.com/w9DxP/
“So how did you manage to strike this deal Anon?”
>”Uh, well…I told Nelly that we had a problem and she offered to help! Pretty neat of her don’t you think?”
“Uh huh…” you reply in a not so content tone of voice.
>”What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy we’ll be able to train after all?”
“It’s not that…forget it! You just wouldn’t understand,” you say before crossing your arms and looking through the window.
>”O…kay?” Anon says before taking his phone, earbuds and a book out of this backpack.
>He says nothing and puts on his earbuds first to listen to some music.
>Then he opens his book on a page and continues his reading.
“Heh…that was the same book you were reading when you kicked that ball on Fluttershy’s face.”
>”Yeah…” Anon says as he takes off his earbuds, “I haven’t been able to make any progress on this book since we all started training for this mess.”
”What is it about?”
>“It’s a mystery novel. One of A.K. Yearling’s early works before she started working on that mess called Daring Do…eugh!”
“WHAT?! You don’t like Daring Do?! WHY?!”
>Anon looks a bit shocked from your overreaction.
>”Well, it’s simply not my cup of tea; one dimentional characters and tons of flaws. 2/10 would not read again, it’s got an annoying fandom as well…”
>You snatch his book away from his hands.
>“Hey!”
“Lemme borrow this and I’ll get back to you on that statement then okay? Meanwhile…”
>You grab the second book of the Daring Do series from your backpack and hand it to Anon.
“Here, read this one…it’s way better than the first one, give it a shot and you’ll love it as much as I do.”
>”You really want me to read this thing don’t you?”
“Nnnno?” You say trying to fake an innocent smile.
>Anon just lets out a chuckle and starts reading your book, so you do the same.
>It’s gonna be a short ride to Pleasantview Town anyways, might as well take a break to read and to not stress yourself out.
>You’re glad Anon is pouring his heart and soul for the team and yourself.
>Thanks to him Celestia didn’t punish you as hard as she usually does…
>You let out an inspired sigh.
>Seacrest County’s High will meet a completely different Anon when you face them in the final, and you’ll help him with that.

>A comfortable bus ride later.
>You all get out of the bus and walk towards the soccer pitch where you initially spied on Sandy’s team.
>You find Sandy, accompanied by her sister Mirage and the rest of their team who look like they were about to begin their training.
>And there’s that Nelly girl Anon talks to.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U9DT8DGNtU
>”ANON!”
>”Hey Nelly! Good to see you again!”
>Nelly warmly greets him by running towards him and then giving him a not so friendly hug.
“Wow Anon, you didn’t drag us all the way here so you could just visit your girlfriend did you?” You say using an annoyed tone of voice.
>”G-girlfriend?!” Anon freaks out for a bit.
>Nelly quickly releases her grip on him, feeling quite embarrassed.
>”You got it all wrong Rainbow Dash!” Nelly tries to explain, “I was just…h-happy to see Anon again!”
>No one is buying it, not your team nor Pleasantview’s.
>”Rainbow Dash!” Sandy calls, “you made it…”
>You turn around and find Sandy Prattle walking towards you.
“Heya Sandy…how have you been?”
>”Doing fine…how about you?”
>Yeah. Both you and Sandy just can’t get along.
“Can’t complain, well…are we gonna train or what?”
>”In a bit, I’m kinda surprised you all made it to the round of sixteen,” she says with a smug smile, “to be honest I thought you would be placed fourth in the repechage event.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? You know dang well we almost left you out of the competition if Zeph hadn’t done what he did.”
>”I just remembered!” Anon says, “How’s your knee Nelly?”
>”It’s fine Anon, no need to worry anymore about it-“
>Both Anon and Nelly engage in a nice and lighthearted to talk about recent events.
>Anon also mentions how your team feels at a certain disadvantage because of their lack of fighting experience, which Nelly reassures him that her team will be willing to teach yours what they know.
“Ugh, those two…”
>”Tell me about it, at first I was against the idea…but my sis somehow managed to convince me and the principal to let you guys train with us.”
>You let out a chuckle.
“Ain’t she the nicest person around…I guess this is all possible thanks to her.”
>”Besides, your friend there has been so cute with my sister so far. He doesn’t have a girlfriend does he?”
“Nope…but he’s already taken; so no funny business okay?”
>”Very well then…let’s get started shall we?”

>Minutes later, you’ve all changed into your sports clothes and done some warm up exercises.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-f4vMg4OdU
>”Alright everyone…we’re gonna teach Canterlot High some karate. It’s up to them to learn it and win the next event against Kindiak Park,” Sandy says.
>Artic Thunder laughs.
>”What’s so funny Artic Thunder?” Sandy asks raising an eyebrow.
>”Sorry Sandy but, are you sure these losers will be able to learn karate in just four days?”
>The rest of the team laughs.
>”Hey…you’ve seen how great their team is, despite the conditions they have to train under,” Mirage says, “and Rainbow Dash is right…they almost kick us out of the competition.”
>Artic Thunder rolls his eyes.
>”So!” Sandy says as she lifts a couple of punching pads with her hands, “Anon! I want you to punch these pads as hard as you can.”
“Uhh…okay!”
>”Don’t be too rough on him sis!” Nelly yells from the bleachers.
>Anon comes closer to Sandy and raises his fists, then he throws a punch.
>Sandy moves the pads away from his reach, making him miss the punch.
>“Sandy?” Anon asks.
>”What? You thought I’d stay still? In this event you have to evade your attacker’s punches,” she says with a smug smile, “besides…I could tell that was one weak punch.”
>Anon looks ticked off. It seems that she triggered a bad memory of his past.
>He aims for the punching pad again.
>Sandy manages to evade Anon’s punch again.
>S-she’s fast!
>She manages to invade Anon’s personal space and blows a couple of punches to his stomach and a last punch to his face.
>Anon falls on his back and struggles to get up.
>”ANON!” Nelly yells at Sandy before standing up and running next to Anon to make sure he’s okay.
>”See Rainbow Dash…? This is what you and your teammates have to learn, dodging and punching, it ain’t hard…but it ain’t easy either.”
”You okay Anon?” you ask.
>Anon can’t even utter a word.
>”What is wrong with you Sandy?!” Nelly yells at her own sister, holding Anon’s head on her delicate hands, “how dare you hit him like that in his first lesson? You psycho!”
>”Relax…he’s a tough cookie, he’s gonna be okay. However I thought he’d end up putting more of a fight, how disappointing.”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAGsD8Lt77s
>”Nnnngh…did someone g-get the license plate of that truuuu…?” Anon struggles to say.
>”Shhh…don’t talk Anon,” Nelly says, “you need some rest.”
>”You’re enjoying this quite a bit aren’t you sis?” Sandy laughs.
>”Shhh…don’t ruin the moment sis,” Nelly says as she caresses Anon’s hair.
>Your teammates look at each other.
>Thunderbass and the rest of the guys look jealous.
>”I wish that were me…” Sandalwood says.
>”Alright people, time to learn the basics…sis? Can you help me out?” Sandy asks to her sister Mirage.
>Mirage nods and asks everyone to assume the typical fighting stance by using her body as an example.
>Everyone on your team awkwardly poses like Mirage.
>Trixie falls on her rump.
>Sandy places her palm on her face.
>”This is gonna be tough…” Mirage says under her breath.

>You’re now Anon.
>”Shh! I think he’s waking up,” a voice says.
>You manage to open your eyes, only to see Nelly’s beautiful smile next to Sunset’s trademark smug grin.
”Ohh…damn, what happened?”
>”My sister knocked you out Anon…I warned you about her,” Nelly says.
>”Yeah, don’t worry though…you were out just for like a couple of minutes or so,” Sunset adds, “you good?”
“I think I am…darn! What a strong blow, perhaps stronger than yours last Saturday Sunset.”
>”This is the second time you get knocked out by a girl Anon…” Sunset laughs, “you sure you want to participate in this particular event?” 
“I’m not so sure anymore…” you say as you touch the areas Sandy hit, only to feel more pain, “ow; I think basketball doesn’t sound bad right now.”
>”I get what you’re saying, I’m gonna participate in the basketball event myself. I’m pretty good at it.”
“You sure? You’ve got one hell of a fist if I say so myself Sunset.”
>”Oh quit it you,” Sunset says, “I just don’t feel like fighting next event, however because of that big mouth of yours now I’ll have to learn karate as well.”
>”Uhh…” Nelly doesn’t know what to say from all the things Sunset is blabbing about.
>You stand up and dust off the gym clothes Rarity tailored for you.
>”Anon? What are you doing?!” Nelly asks.
“I’m okay now…I can’t miss your sisters’ instructions now can I?”
>”B-but you were out like a light! I can’t allow you to go back in such condition!”
“Relax, I’m gonna be okay.”
>You walk back to the group.
>”Don’t worry about him,” Sunset says to Nelly, “he’s just getting started.”
>”Ohhh…I just hope he doesn’t get hurt,” Nelly replies.

>http://picosong.com/wfihb/
>”Oh, back already Anon?” Sandy asks with a smug grin plastered on her face.
“Yeah…you were just lucky Sandy, it won’t happen again.”
>She raises an eyebrow.
>”Well then, I guess I got you by surprise…” she mockingly says, “go back to your team and do exactly what I say okay?”
“Alrighty then.”
>Sandy takes her time explaining the rules of the event and how the scoring system works.
>Mirage aids her sister with the movements that are illegal, such as kicking the kneecaps and other joints.
>They look quite painful.
>”Don’t worry folks, if the Kindiak Park team really wants to break your arms or legs then they’d be disqualified.”
>With Superintendent Discord around? That’s not very likely…
>”That still doesn’t sound very…reassuring you know,” Trixie says.
>”Well now, my sister and I are gonna show you how to attack and defend. Mirage will defend against my attacks…ready to learn?”
>”Everybody pay attention, it’ll come in handy in the future!” Mirage says.
>”You ready big sis?” Sandy asks as she cracks her fingers.
>Mirage puts on a defensive pose and 
>”Yes, give it all you’ve got lil’ sis,” Mirage says.
>Sandy puts on a smug grin and yells.
>”HERE I COME!”
>http://picosong.com/wfMdn/
>Sandy runs up to her sister and starts attacking her with fast punches, which Mirage quickly manages to block.
>”Is that all you’ve got sis?” Mirage mocks Sandy.
>”Grrr! I’m not done yet!” Sandy angrily replies.
>The next punch Sandy tries to land is blocked by Mirage, who swats her fist away from her and takes a chance to kick Sandy’s left side with her right knee.
>”Guh-“ Sandy barely manages to say before Mirage kicks her sister in the stomach with her left sole, making Sandy fall on her back.
>”That was at least worth 2 points,” Mirage says with a giggle, “…you’re still too slow sis.”
>”Grr…I swear Mirage, one of these days-”
>”Yeah yeah, I’m still better than you at this…so! Did any of you guys get that?”
>Your team is shocked.
>”What just…happened?” Lyra says.
>Mirage helps her sister up.
>”Well Canterlot High, now you’ll have to do the same as my sis, you’ll have to attack our teammates.”
>Your teammates look kinda insecure.
>”They’ll ONLY have to defend against your attacks, so try your best to hit them okay? Go on, find a couple and start fighting.”
>”Oh this is gonna be good,” Aria cracks her fingers, then she looks at Pleasantview High’s boys, “which one of you babies am I gonna fight?”
>The guys look afraid of Aria, and to be honest, you don’t blame them. Aria’s quite intimidating.
>Sonata however, looks quite scared of the possible harm she might end up doing or getting.
>”Um, Anon…if I get a small bump on my pretty face you’re like, gonna be sorry, okay?”
“Me?! Why me?!”
>”WELL DUH! Who’s big idea was to train for ALL the events huh?! Yours! Isn’t that right?!”
>You sigh.
“Of course it was mine…otherwise we would’ve gotten points deducted if we stuck to our respective events last Saturday isn’t that right?”
>”Umm…”
“Yep, that’s what I thought…now don’t tell me Sonata that your dives weren’t amazing just because I suggested you could do much more than only swim.”
>”Alright alright I get it, gimme a break already.”
>That oughta teach her some manners.

>The girls from both Canterlot High and Pleasantview High find sparring partners.
>So do the boys. And to your dismay, Artic Thunder volunteered to be yours.
>He waves at Nelly, who just refuses to acknowledge him.
>Why did Sandy let this douche in the team? You’ll never now.
>Sandy blows her whistle and everyone starts training.
>Pleasantview High’s team members are just defending against Canterlot’s Hits.
>Some are doing it with a relative ease.
>”Let…the Great and Powerful Trixie…HIT YOU!” Trixie yells at her opponent, who just lets out a yawn.
>”Why are we even wasting our time with you losers?” Artic Thunder confidently says, “might as well hand over the prize to Kindiak Park High.”
“Hey dude, this is literally our first lesson. We’re gonna see who’s the strongest fighter among us!”
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxjIUdZoJyQ
>You throw Artic Thunder a punch, and he grabs your fist in midair.
>”Well, it’s certainly not you…sheesh, you hit like a girl.”
>This guy is getting on your nerves.
>{“YOU CAN DO IT ANON!”] Nelly cheers for you from the gym’s bleachers, [“I BELIEVE IN YOU!”]
>For some reason, Artic just becomes angrier from Nelly’s cheers.
>He swats your fist away and lands a quite hard blow at your stomach.
“Urk…guh-“ you barely manage to say as you fall on your knees.
>”ANON!” Nelly yells in shock.
>”ARTIC!” Sandy yells, “I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DEFEND AGAINST ANON’S ATTACKS ONLY!”
>”Whoops…sorry captain,” he lies to Sandy with a blatant smug grin, then he just closes his eyes and shrugs, “you got him first so I thought he’d be more prepared to defend himself; I’m guessing he’s just a lost cause.”
>You get back on your feet, which pleases Sandy.
>”You sure?” Sandy says as she points at you, “I think this is far from over.”
>”We’ll see about that…” Artic Thunder says under his breath.
>This time you do your best to attack Artic Thunder, however he keeps dodging your attacks.
>[“GO ANON! GO!”] Nelly cheers once again.
>Artic Thunder punches you again, but this time you manage to dodge his attack and then you land a hit to his left side using your right hand.
>Artic Thunder winces in pain, falling on his left knee while holding the area you punched.
>”NGH! Son of a-“
>”Hah! That was a point for Anon! What was that all about Anon being a lost cause Artic?” Mirage says with a smug grin, joined by Sandy’s giggle.
>[“YAAAY! GOOD JOB ANON!”] Nelly yells from the bleachers, jumping in the same spot over and over.

>Artic stands up and turns around to face you once again.
>”This ain’t over yet…” Artic Thunder says.
>http://picosong.com/wfW3g/
>All the other couples stop their training and start watching how Artic Thunder lunges at you.
>You do your best to block and evade all his hits.
>You decide to counterattack him, by trying to hit him immediately after he misses his punch. However you also miss yours.
>”What is that guy doing to my number one fan?!” Trixie asks, feeling somewhat worried for you.
“Don’t worry Trix! We’re just training!”
>”Training?! Are you making fun of me?!” Artic Thunder angrily says.
>”D-don’t let him hit you Anon!” Derpy says in worried tone of voice.
>You manage to land yet another hit, this time with your knee, at his right side. Making him wince in pain once again.
>”Good one Anon!” Rainbow Dash and Sandy yell at the same time.
>Your teammates cheer, while the others just watch in awe as how you’re standing up to their third best player of their team.
>”Darn! He’s pretty good, for a dork…” Aria says.
>”Heck yeah he is!” Flash Sentry says, “man, what a display of courage! I wonder what’s in his mind right now.”
>You’re focusing Blazing Blitz’s face right over Artic Thunder’s right now.
>You manage to land another punch right at Artic Thunder’s face.
>If only you had been stronger back in Jr. High…
>Sunset looks quite proud of you, while Nelly just can’t stop fawning over you.
>Artic notices her as well, feeling frustrated that he can’t hit you, he does an illegal movement and kicks your right leg’s kneecap.
“NGGAAAAHHH!”
>Everyone gasps from the dirty move he pulled off.
>”HEY!” Rainbow Dash angrily yells, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
>Nelly stands up and runs towards you two, so do Sandy, Mirage, Aria, Bulk and plenty of others.
>But just before they arrive, Artic Thunder grabs you by your shirt and doesn’t allow you to fall on the gym mat.
>”This is what you get for stealing my dear Nelly from me you bastard…”
>The last thing you hear is Nelly yelling and begging Artic to stop.
>Everything goes dark as soon as Artic Thunder’s head hits you right in the face.
“…”

>[“…Anon?”]
>Hnnngghh…
>[“Wow, he looks terrible…is he gonna be okay doc?”]
>Your head…hurts a lot.
>[“I think he’s coming back to his senses!”]
>You finally open your eyes.
>”Anon!” Everyone present yells.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zY-WwueIWA
“Where…where am I?”
>”Oh Anon!” Nelly clings onto your shoulder, with tears rolling down her eyes, “I’m glad you’re okay…”
>”You’re in Pleasantview High’s infirmary dude…” Rainbow Dash adds, “you were out for like an hour or so.”
>”Eeyup, that Artic Thunder varmint gotcha good…” Applejack adds.
>”Inconceivable!” Trixie yells, “how did you let him kick your butt like that Anon?!”
>”Cut Anon some slack Trix…” Rainbow Dash says, “Anon just didn’t know he’d act like that.”
>”Well…I uh, kinda know why he did it,” Nelly blushes, “I really had to teach him a lesson for mistreating you like that Anon.”
>”I think you went a little too overboard there Nelly,” Applejack says to the clingy girl hugging you.
“W-What do you mean?”
>The nurse moves the curtains next to your bed.
>HOLY CRAP!
>Artic Thunder is laying unconscious on the bed next to yours.
>He has a bunch of bruises; a large scratch across his face, bitemarks on his arms, a couple of broken fingers, his nose is also broken.
>”Don’t worry Anon, you’re gonna be okay…” The nurse says as she scribbles something down on her notepad, “however, Artic Thunder will take a LOOONG time to recover.”
“What happened to him?”
>Everyone in the room points at Nelly, who just lets out an awkward laugh.
>”Well I just couldn’t let him do that to you now could I?”
>http://picosong.com/w3Zzv/
>”Just like the good ol’ practice days with dad, eh sis?” Sandy lets out a laugh.
>You raise an eyebrow, demanding an explanation.
>”Our dad was the one who taught us some self-defense lessons,” Mirage says, “according to him, he said we would need it; just in case we ran into some bad guys.”
>”Yeah, Mirage and I got some lessons from him first, then he enlisted us into martial arts lessons, you know how overprotective dads can get, especially when he had three hot daughters to look after…” Sandy humblebrags about her looks, flicking her hair in a seductive way with one hand and placing the other on her hip, making all the guys present in the room gaze at her.
>”Amen to that,” Sandalwood says with a pervy smile.
>Mirage clears her throat.
>”As Sandy was saying, when it was Nelly’s turn to fight against him…she sent him to the hospital.”
>Nelly pouts from embarrassment.
>”Girl’s a natural! But that peculiar event made her quit fighting or learning martial arts altogether, she still apologizes to our dad to this day…” Sandy says with a laugh.
>”Are you two done embarrassing me in front of Anon and his friends?” Nelly says as she cracks her fingers.
>Both sisters shut up.
>”Whoa sis…relax,” Sandy says, “we don’t want any trouble.”
>The secretary of Pleasantview High’s principal talks on the speaker system.
>[”Nelly Prattle! Report to the Principal’s office immediately!”]
>”M-me?!” B-but why me?” Nelly says.
>”Looks like you’re in trouble now sis…come on, I’ll speak in your defense,” Mirage says.
>Nelly stands up and gives you a last look and a warm, loving smile before she leaves to the Principal’s office followed by Mirage.
>”Hehe…you better not break her heart Anon, or you might end up like Artic Thunder,” Sandy says with that smug grin of hers.
>Well shit.
>”Alright, let’s keep training y’all!” Sandy says to the rest of your team and hers, “ma’am? Will Anon be okay?”
>”Oh no, he won’t be able to train at all! In fact his knee will need at least a week to recover.”
>Uh oh.
>”WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash yells, “you must be wrong ma’am, h-he’ll be okay by the round of sixteen, right?”
>”Nope…it is mandatory for him to rest, otherwise his knee won’t heal at all. Fortunately Artic didn’t do much damage to him, however I advise for his sake to rest. You should find another player to replace him soon so…good luck with that.”
>You see a worried look on Rainbow’s eyes.
“Don’t worry captain…I’m okay!”
>You try to stand up, however a sharp pain coming from your knee quickly forces you to sit on the bed again.
>http://picosong.com/w4pp4/
>Your teammates look concerned.
>Rainbow Dash sits by your side.
>”Don’t worry dude…don’t overdo it just to please me, get some rest. We’ll train by ourselves and come pick you up when we’re done.”
>You let out a sigh.
>”It’s cool Anon, we’ll take it from here…this ain’t your fault.”
>Rainbow Dash looks at Artic Thunder, who unfortunately wakes up with such a bad timing.
>”Oh man…what happened?”
>”It’s HIS!”
>”YIKES!”
>Applejack and Sunset Shimmer grab Rainbow Dash by her shirt and hold onto her enraged friend to prevent her from harming Artic Thunder even more.
>”Enough Dash! Nelly took care of him already!”
>Could this day get anymore weirder?

>Hours later.
>Your team has been training for a while with Pleasantview’s team while you’re stuck here in this bed.
>Artic Thunder’s mother dropped by a couple of hours ago to pick up her son; she apologized to you as well for her son’s erratic behaviour.
>What a nice lady she was.
>Shit…your knee still hurts like hell.
>The school’s nurse said you were lucky, and that you only needed rest.
>But…that means you won’t be able to participate in the upcoming event.
>Lucky? Yeah right…
>Perhaps for Kindiak Park High.
>You wonder what Rarity will think of you now.
>The door in front of your bed slowly opens, revealing a sweaty Rainbow Dash walking through it.
>She looks quite upset for some reason.
>”Heya Rainbow…how did practice go?”
>And she looks terribly tired as well.
>”Why don’t you come and see for yourself?” Rainbow Dash replies.
“Huh? Did something happen?”
>Rainbow Dash comes closer to your bed and helps you to stand up.
“You sure you can do this by yourself?”
>”Pssh…’course I can!”
>Hehehe…you love it whenever this girl tries to act tough.
>She’s clearly struggling with your body’s weight.
>You do your best to stand on one foot while also trying to not fall onto her.
“Thanks Dashie…”
>”Man, I really wish you were okay…” Rainbow Dash complains.
“What do you mean?”
>Rainbow Dash guides you to meet your team.
>Your eyes go wide as soon as you see how finished they look.
>http://picosong.com/w5iJY/
 >”See?” Rainbow Dash says as she lifts an eyebrow and rolls both eyes.
“Sheesh! What happened to ya’ll?!”
>”Well team?” Rainbow Dash demands an explanation while growing more upset at them.
>”Lessons got…harder, if that’s the best way to say it.” Trixie says, flicking her unkept hair.
>”Eeeyup…” Big Mac adds his insightful thoughts.
>”Here’s the problem Anon…” Rainbow Dash sighs. “Big Mac is too slow, he got hit several times by his partner.”
>”Hehe…sorry,” Big Mac lets out an awkward chuckle.
>”Trixie kept getting distracted, every time she got hit by her partner, she’d ask her for a ‘time-out’ to check her appearance whenever she got hit on the face.”
>”Hey! What if Trixie gets a nasty bruise?! A beauty like moi shouldn’t even take part in this dumb event…” Trixie claims.
>”Lyra and Sweetie, boy they got carried away and instead of hitting their partners they ended up fighting against each other…”
>”We’re sorry Rainbow Dash…” Lyra says.
>”Yeah, we were just trying to see who was better,” Sweetie Drops adds.
“Where’s Sonata and Derpy?”
>”They got scared and ran back to the bus…they weren’t willing to take a hit for the team.”
>Rainbow Dash tells you exactly what happened, embarrassing every single one of your teammates for their lack of courage, skill, or simply by their overall failure to land a single hit.
>”And what about yerself sugarcube?” Applejack asks with an annoyed tone of voice, sporting a nasty bruise on her cheek.
>”Me?” Rainbow Dash feigns complete ignorance.
>”Sandy kicked yer tail good didn’t she? Why are you so upset at us when you couldn’t even land a single hit on her, let alone touch her?”
>Rainbow Dash grumbles.
>Everyone laughs at her.
>You let out a lighthearted laugh.
>”What’s so funny dude?”
“Come on Rainbow…it doesn’t sound that bad, it’s everyone’s first lesson; besides, I’m already out of the competition as well remember?”
>”Yeah, but at least you landed a couple of hits, that makes you Canterlot’s MVP…like, holy smokes we’re so gonna lose this event next Saturday.”
”Aren’t you forgetting about the other events?”
>”Oh…well, at least in those everyone did great. Sunset did so well at basketball, Aria at High Jump and Flash at-”
“See? As long as you win all those events we’ll be fine. Don’t give up yet Rainbow. Maybe we should rest for today to clear our minds and-”
>”We don’t have enough time for that Anon,” Rainbow Dash interrupts you before letting out a defeated sigh.
“And what good will pushing the team to its limit do? I know they can do it! They just need to rest.”
>Everyone else is moved by your faith in them.
>”Perhaps we should practice some karate a little bit more…” Trixie says, “this time for real, don’t you guys think?”
>”For the first time in like, forever I agree with’cha Trix,” Applejack says.
>”YEAH!” Bulk Biceps yells.
>”I’ll go get Sonata and Derpy from the bus,” Sandalwood says.
“What? A-are you sure about that?” You ask your teammates.
>”Relax sugarcube…we ain’t done yet. Just leave it to us!” Applejack says.

>Minutes later.
>”Oh? What’s this? Back for another beating?” Sandy says as your team stands in front of hers.
>”Very funny Sandy…but no, we’ll be the ones laughing at ya’ll this time.”
>Pleasantview High’s team laughs so hard at Applejack’s claim; Sandy has to quiet them all down.
>”Well then cowgirl,” Sandy says with a mischeivous smile, “let’s see if you learn something this time…unlike your captain you look like you could stand a chance against me.”
>Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash help you sit at the gym’s bleachers, then Applejack runs off to fight against Sandy.
“Go Jackie! You can do it!”
>http://picosong.com/w5Egv/
>Applejack starts by attacking Sandy with fast punches, which she easily dodges.
>”Hmph, is that all you’ve got?” Sandy asks.
>”You’ve seen nothing yet,” Applejack smirks as she forces Sandy to cover her face with both arms from the intense punches she throws at her.
>Now that both of her sides are exposed, Applejack quickly lands a hard kick on Sandy’s right side, making her lose a little balance.
>”Damn! That was gnarly! Babe? Are you okay?!” Bell calls from the bleachers.
>Sandy falls on her knees and takes one hand to her bruised side.
>”That’s…a point,” Mirage says in disbelief.
>Your team’s eyes go bright.
>”That was sooo cool Applejack,” Tennis Match says.
>Sandy stands up and attacks Applejack, this time looking a bit angrier with her rival.
>She throws fast punches at her, however Applejack saw this coming and quickly swats Sandy’s arm away with one hand to punch her exposed belly with the other.
>Sandy takes her hands to her stomach before falling on her back.
>”Point…Applejack is the winner,” Mirage says in disbelief.
>”Did you see that Anon?!” Sunset excitedly says as she sits next to you, “an hour ago she couldn’t land a single hit on her opponent.”
“Guess it was just a confidence issue, aren’t you gonna join them?”
>”I guess I should, who knows what Superintendent Discord might have under his sleeve just to see us lose. Maybe I can get an MVP award like you.”
“And I hope Kindiak Park High won’t be an obstacle for you guys.”
>”Why are you talking like that?”
“Like what?”
>”Like, not including yourself, you’re still a part of our team Anon! We wouldn’t have gotten this far without you! That little pep talk you gave to us was like, sooo inspiring!”
“Aww Sunny…”
>Sunset Shimmer gives you a hug.
>Applejack helps Sandy Prattle up.
>”Huh, maybe you guys aren’t that bad to begin with…” Sandy says, “you ready for the next lesson?”
>Everybody present cheers.
>”Well, I gotta leave Anon…”
“Kick some tail Sunny.”
>”I will…”
>You observe your surroundings.
>Where could Nelly be?

>Pleasantview’s classes have ended for the day.
>You and your teammates are riding the bus back to Canterlot High.
 >http://picosong.com/w5iSx/
>”Man…I’m exhausted,” Rainbow Dash says.
“Yeah, you did well today Dashie.”
>”Pfft…save the compliments for your girlfriend Anon.”
“Whoa whoa! Nelly ain’t my girlfriend! She’s just-”
>”Suuuure, don’t worry dude, I won’t say a thing!”
“B-but!”
>Rainbow Dash lets out a laugh.
>”Relax dude…” she says as she punches your arm, “I’m just messing with you, however…she does seem nice, albeit being a little clingy don’t you think.”
>You let out a chuckle.
“Well, I can’t argue with that…”
>”Don’t tell me you don’t like her…”
“I like girls a little more, what’s the word? Ah yes…refined, if you catch my drift. But I believe girls like those wouldn’t even bat an eye towards a guy like me.”
>”Then you’d be dead wrong Anon. Honestly! You’re a cool guy.”
“But I’m simply too bland and boring! The girl I like has tons of better guys going after her…” you let out a sigh, “she deserves the best only.”
>”Heh, she’d be crazy if she didn’t see you as the best overall dude. And I say that as a friend.”
“Thanks captain…”
>As soon as the bus arrives to Canterlot High Rainbow Dash helps you up.
“I think I can take it from here Rainbow…”
>You try to balance your body’s weight on both good and damaged legs, however, that same sharp pain comes back.
“On second thought…ehehe, mind helping me out captain?”
>She just lets out a chuckle.
>“As long as you don’t get used to this then I’m fine with it.”
>You all get off the bus and find plenty of your classmates fooling around and talking in groups on the school premises.
>”Looks like classes just ended, boy am I glad you struck that deal with that ol’ hag Celestia to let us train dude.”
“Thank Nelly for that, it was her idea.”
>”That old what now?!” A voice calls from the Principal’s window.
>”Crud…why did the bus have to park here?”
>http://picosong.com/w5ibw/
>”Welcome back Ms. Rainbow Dash…” Celestia says, standing behind the open window, “just in time!”
>”Umm…for what exactly?”
>”DETENTION! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT?! And guess what? That little comment you just made earned you yet another day of detention! Congratulations!” Principal Celestia sarcastically claps.
>Rainbow Dash sighs.
>”Anon, try not to hang out with that delinquent too much, a good student like you shouldn’t…what happened to you?”
“I got injured Principal…I guess I’ll be out for a week or so.”
>Principal Celestia almost faints at the end of that sentence.
>She falls on her chair and lets out a big “WHY?!” in the air.
>”Well dude…I have to go to detention. Talk to you later okay?” Rainbow Dash says, “will you be okay?”
“Don’t worry about me Captain.”
>”Cool, see ya tomorrow…”
>Your teammates gather around you to make sure you’re okay.
>”Does it hurt Anon?” Trixie asks.
“A bit, yeah…”
>”Need a lift to your crib dude?” Flash asks as he points at his car.
“Thanks…but no thanks Flash, I’ll stay here a little bit longer.”
>”A’ight, but if you’re in trouble just give me a call okay?”
“Thanks bro…”
>Your teammates look concerned, but gradually understand you want to be alone for a bit.
>”See you tomorrow brah…” Brawly Beats says.
>”Get some rest Anon…” Sonata says.
>”Yeah man, and get some ice on that thing, it’s disgusting.”
“Gee, thanks Aria.”
>Sonata nudges Aria’s arm with her elbow.
>”Fine…get well okay?”
>Cute.
“Don’t worry about me…see you all tomorrow.”
>They all say their goodbyes to you and leave you alone with your thoughts, sitting on the school’s front steps.
>http://picosong.com/w5ibB/
>Guess it’s game over for you.
>Man, all that effort gone to waste, all because of that Artic guy.
>Stealing Nelly away from him? Yeah right.
>Nelly may be beautiful and charming but…she’s not as beautiful and charming as-
>”Darling?”
>Your eyes go wide.
>You turn your head around your shoulder and find Rarity standing in front of the school’s main door accompanied by Fluttershy.
>”Oh my…”
>”DARLING! What happened to you?!”
>Rarity quickly sits down next to you and touches your chin with her delicate to face her.
>You really didn’t want them to see you in this state.
>”Oh my goodness Anon, w-who did this to you?” Rarity asks.
“H-heya Rares, hi Flutters…uh, well you see-“
>Rarity looks so concerned over your well-being.
“There was this guy over at Pleasantview High who got really mad at me…and taking advantage of the training session he decided to beat me up.” 
>”But why would he do that?” Rarity asks dumbfounded.
“Well, I recall he said some nonsense of me stealing Nelly from him or something like that…then he hit me real hard and I blacked out.”
>”Really, you don’t say?” Rarity says, raising an eyebrow at the mention of Nelly.
>https://picosong.com/wXQmr/
>You let out a chuckle.
”Can you believe it Rares? What a jerk! Me? Stealing Nelly from him? Please…”
>Rarity frowns a bit.
”And to top it all, Nelly kicked his butt immediately afterwards,” you say with a laugh, “Nelly’s a pretty good athlete as well as a fighter.”
>You shake your head.
“What Nelly did was out of this world according to the team, she could easily win the competition if she trusted herself a bit more.”
>”I see…” Rarity says with an annoyed tone of voice before standing up, “I hope you get well soon Anonymous. See you tomorrow!”
>Rarity, after saying her goodbyes, hastily leaves the area, almost stomping her feet on the ground after each step.
>She didn’t call you darling this time? Weird…
“Um, was it something I said Flutters?”
>”Oh no no…” Fluttershy lets out a nervous chuckle before helping you standing up, “she’s just…overwhelmed over your condition Anon.”
>Overwhelmed? That sure was an understatement, she looked quite angry!
>”Let’s just forget about this incident Anon, you know…judging by your knee’s swelling, I feel like I can help you out.”
“Help me out? But how?”
>”Leave it to me Anon,” Fluttershy happily says as she helps you put your arm around her shoulder to support your body.
>You wince from the pain.
>”Wow that meanie really hurt you didn’t he? Don’t worry Anon, you’ll feel better once we get there.”
“Get where?”
>”My home of course…”

>Minutes later, you both arrive to Fluttershy’s home.
>”Mom! I’m home!” Fluttershy says.
>You don’t know why she brought you to her home, and when you asked why she only said it was a secret.
>”Ahh…Fluttershy you’re here!” Fluttershy’s beautiful mother says before noticing you were accompanying her daughter.
>“And you brought a- oh my goodness…what happened to him?”
>”Mom, meet Anon…one of the team’s members, he got injured today.”
>”Anon?! That wonderful boy you just won’t stop talking about?!” Fluttershy’s mom happily says.
>”M-mother?!” Fluttershy’s face goes red.
>Fluttershy’s embarrassed face brings you joy.
>”Anyways…I suppose you’re gonna take care of him?” Fluttershy’s mom asks.
>”Yes…if that’s okay with you.”
>”Of course honey, don’t worry Anon, you’re in good hands! Have a seat, I’ll bring you some tea.”
“Thank you ma’am…”
>Fluttershy helps you sit down.
>”I’ll be back in a minute Anon, get comfy because it won’t take long!”
>Fluttershy climbs up the stairs to her bedroom.
>What is she thinking of?
>”Here’s your tea Anon…” Fluttershy’s mother says as she hands you a cup of tea and a plate.
>Nice, lemon tea!
“Thanks a lot Ms. Shy,” you say before taking a sip, “delicious…”
>”I heard what you did for that girl back at the relay race. What a fine lad you are Anon, no wonder Fluttershy is so umm…infatuated with you.”
>You spit some of the tea back into the cup.
“R-really?”
>”Oh my, I wasn’t supposed to say that! Just forget what I said dearie,” the mother lets out a giggle before going back to the kitchen, leaving you dumbfounded.
>”I’m back!” Fluttershy says as she walks down the stairs, carrying something on her hands.
>It looks like a tub of cream or something, along with other naturist remedies.
>Uhhh…
>”I noticed how bad your injuries look, however it’s nothing some of my remedies can’t fix…you’ll be back on your feet by tomorrow’s morning.”
“REALLY?!”
>”Yep…I made some of these remedies myself. This one will help out with that swelling.”
>Fluttershy dips her hand in the tub and spreads a green gooey substance on your knee.
“Ouch, it’s hot!” you wince a bit in pain.
>”I know,” Fluttershy giggles, “that means it’s working…I use less of this medicine I prepared myself on my injured animal friends, and at the next morning they get better.”
“Your animal friends?”
>”Yes…I always treat pets and sometimes wild animals from any injuries they might have.”
>You don’t know what to say, after all. She’s treating you with medicine for pets.
>”I know what you’re thinking Anon, yes…it’s safe,” she happily says, “every time my dumb brother gets into trouble with Rainbow Dash or any other girl I always use my remedies to heal his bruises.”
“Zeph? Oh right, what happened to him anyways? Is he enjoying the new school?”
>In that moment the front door opens.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5O_W8yDig4
>”Mom! I’m home!”
>Oh no…it’s him.
>”You will not believe what an awful day I had, I need my gym clothes washed ASAP! Also could I get a salad and a protein shake and-“
>He stops on his tracks as soon as he notices you.
>”Sis…what is HE doing here?!”
“Hey Zeph…” you say with a bored tone of voice because of the crap you had to endure today.
>”I’m healing Anon, he got plenty of booboos today and I’m helping him out…” Fluttershy replies in a forced manner.
>”And you brought him here? Goodness sister what were you thinking?!” He puts his palm on his dumb face.
>”He’s my guest and I won’t tolerate your attitude towards him,” Fluttershy scolds her shocked brother.
>To be honest you’re shocked too, you have never seen Fluttershy be like this before, especially to her brother.
>”B-but sis!”
>”No ‘buts’ mister! My friend here needs my help, just like you needed help immediately after you were expelled from our school. Just remember who got you out of trouble by providing you with a guide for the entrance exam. I’d say you’re in debt with him now…”
>Heh, that had to hurt.
>Zephyr Breeze grits his teeth and forms a fist with one of his hand.
>He storms upstairs and slams his bedroom’s door.
>Fluttershy lets out a disappointed sigh and goes back to mending your wounds.
>”Please excuse him Anon, he gets a bit…emotional at times.”
“Heh, well he sure ain’t as emotional as the guy who did this to me,” you say with a chuckle, which makes Fluttershy giggle.
>”And I thought you’d be upset at him.”
“Nah, besides…Nelly taught him a lesson I’m sure he’ll never forget.”
>Fluttershy puts on a warm smile as she keeps applying that funny smelling ointment on your bruised knee.

>Minutes later.
>”That should be it…here,” Fluttershy hands you some leaves and a tub of the ointment she applied, “don’t forget to apply it on your knee or wherever it hurts every night before going to bed and morning after you wake up, also; make some tea with the herbs I handed to you and luckily you’ll be ready for the event against Kindiak Park High!”
“Wow…” You say as you try to bend your knee, to your surprise, it doesn’t hurt much like it did before, “this is wonderful…thanks a lot Flutters! Now Rainbow Dash won’t have to look for a replacement!”
>”You’re very welcome Anon!” She warmly says, “you better rest for today, don’t forget what I said and you’ll be fine and ret-2-go!”
>Cute, she really believes in you.
>Well, you won’t let her down!
“I better get going Flutters…thank you again!”
>”Hold up Anon!” Fluttershy’s mother says as she steps out of the kitchen, preventing you from heading towards the front door, “you are not thinking of walking home with your bandaged knee like that now are you?”
“Well I-“
>”How about you have dinner with us first and then I drive you home?”
“Oh, why that would be great Mrs. Shy…um, but won’t that cause any trouble?” You say as you point upstairs at Zephyr’s room.
>”Of course not dearie…don’t be shy and come sit at the table!”
“Gee! Thanks ma’am!”
>”Zeph? Honey? Dinner’s ready!” Fluttershy’s mother calls for her son.
>”…”
>No response.
>“See?”
>You let out a chuckle and shake your head before sitting at the table, with Fluttershy sitting next to you.
>”My dad should be here soon, so we’ll have to wait for him to arrive from work so he can have dinner with us,” Fluttershy happily says, “we always have dinner together…unless Zephyr gets moody.”
>The dude must be adopted or something. Poor Fluttershy and poor parents, they have to deal with his crap daily.

>After a nice evening and meal with Fluttershy and her parents, Fluttershy’s mother drove you to your home.
>”Get well Anon!” Fluttershy’s mother happily says.
>Fluttershy, although a bit hesitant at first…she flies you a kiss.
>Cute.
>Then Fluttershy and her mom drive off in that baby blue SUV their family owns.
>She’s so nice with you, funny how first thing you did was kick a ball real hard to her face…
>That embarrassing moment still lives within your memory and makes you feel terrible everytime.
>You enter your home and notice that your parents aren’t home, however your mom left you dinner in the fridge.
>That’s good, you think, you won’t have to explain where you were or what happened to you.
>You’ll just rest a little and apply that ointment before you go to bed.
>You’ll also drink some of that tea and hope to have a night of a well-deserved rest.
>Tomorrow will be a new day and you’ll go back to your training session with Sandy and Mirage.

>The next day, fifteen minutes before class starts.
>https://youtu.be/3Vtrqoe-QzY
>You’re now Rainbow Dash, and you’ve just arrived to school.
>You find your friends talking next to the school’s beloved statue.
>”Howdy sugar…whoa! What happened to you Rainbow Dash?!” Applejack asks, “you don’t look too good.”
“Gee…thanks,” you sarcastically reply.
>”You couldn’t get any sleep last night now could you Rainbow?” Sunset Shimmer asks.
“Yeah…argh! I couldn’t find a volunteer willing to replace Anon last night! If I don’t find him soon I’ll be in so much trouble.”
>”Take it easy Dashie!” Pinkie Pie says, “maybe you can look around for athletes in Crystal Prep Acade-”
“Asking CPA for help?! Are you nuts Pinkie Pie?!”
>”What? I was just trying to help…” Pinkie Pie says, twiddling her index fingers.
>”I’m sorry Pinkie Pie…the rules are very explicit,” Twilight Sparkle says with the rulebook in her hands, “all players must belong to the same school, no exceptions.”
“Ugh! I can’t believe this is happening to me…I can already picture Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna’s punishments,” you say as you gulp down some saliva.
>”Relax Rainbow Dash…” Rarity says, “we’ll help you find another player today, and excuse me for saying this but, I’m kind of glad Anon can’t play anymore…”
“What?!”
>”Oh Rainbow, I just can’t imagine my poor darling Anon getting hurt again. It broke my heart to see him wincing in pain like that yesterday…”
>”Come again sugarcube? Didya just say…your poor what now?” Applejack says with a smug grin on her face.
>”Oh…did I say that out loud?” Rarity says as a blush on her cheeks.
>You let out an annoyed groan.
“Girls, this isn’t the proper time to talk about this! We need to find a replacement for Anon!”
>”Why?” A voice calls behind your back.
>Wait a minute.
>Everyone gasps.
>As soon as you turn around you find a familiar figure standing strong in front of you.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etOHsG-7GTU
>”ANON!?!” The girls say at the same time.
