My Little Pony: Uncommon Connection
Chapter 8: 8. Chapter 8: Judged (part 2)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAndré: Okay, so just a quick dash to the end of the forest right?
Rainbow Dash (stretching): Uh huh.
Babe and André watched Rainbow Dash stretch. The two of them knew she was being cocky and she was just stretching to taunt them via body language.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah. I'm stretching, is that a problem?
Babe: There's no need to do that Rainbow, you know you're going to win.
Rainbow Dash: I don't want any pulled muscles slowing me down. You two wanna back down? Don't worry there's no shame in withdrawing. Well, maybe a little shame.
Babe: No thanks. We're going to do it.
Rainbow Dash: You've got guts. I guess that's one thing I'll give you credit for.
Spike held up a white cloth on Twilight's back and was prepared to start the race. Rainbow Dash, André and Babe all got on their marks.
Twilight: Good luck you two.
Spike: On your marks. Get set, (throwing the cloth down) GO!
Once the cloth hit the ground the three darted off and made a sprint for Everfree forest. The others watched them off.
Applejack: Ah guess the best thing for us to do now is meet em on the other side ya'll.
Twilight: Right. I just hope they all make it out safely.
Applejack and the others nodded in agreement. Meanwhile in the forest André and Babe were far behind while Rainbow Dash was soaring ahead of them thanks to her wings. The two had to climb over broken branches, hop over murky water and swing through vines just to move on.
André (panting): We've seriously gotta step it up Babe, if we don't Rainbow Dash will certainly win. (Looking back) You heard me? What the heck-?
André stopped dead in his tracks after he noticed Babe wasn't behind him. He looked around but still nothing, somewhere in the forest Babe was tangled up in vines and was practically out of the race….Babe simply hung there with 'Whatever….'all over his face. He was on his cell phone, what he was doing on there was unknown. Back in the race Rainbow Dash was far ahead of the two.
Rainbow Dash: Heh! Those two slowpokes are finished! I've won this thing, hooves down! Man I'm good! Still I can't believe Twilight and the others actually trusted those two…UGH! That's like trusting an-
Not paying attention to where she was going Rainbow charged straight into the side of an unknown creature. She bounced off the side and fell on her flank. She rubbed her head after she fell. She opened her eyes and saw that she had hit a sleeping Ursa (minor) who was now awake. The beast roared loudly intimidating Rainbow Dash whose eyes popped open in fear of the huge bear.
Rainbow Dash: W-Whoa! An Ursa!
The Ursa saw Rainbow Dash and immediately knew who was responsible for waking it.
Rainbow Dash: You don't scare me!
Ursa: …?
Rainbow Dash flew up to the Ursa and gave it a double hoof kick to the nose. The attack did absolutely nothing to it. The Ursa laughed at Rainbow Dash's attempt.
Rainbow Dash: Huh? What're you laughing at?!
The Ursa raised its claw and plucked her. Rainbow Dash spun out of control and slammed into a tree. She slowly slid down to the forest floor. The Ursa approached her with a grin on his face, Rainbow Dash looked up to the angered Ursa and prepared to flap her wings and take off. She knew she was clearly no match for the Ursa.
Rainbow Dash (flapping her wings): Ow! My wing!
She felt a horrible pain in her right wing and was unable to fly. Whenever she tried to move it she would flinch in pain. The Ursa approached her and raised its claw preparing to strike. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes preparing for the blow.
André [voice]: Rainbow!
A familiar voice caught Rainbow Dash's attentions. She opened her eyes and was pushed out of the way of the Ursa's attack. André managed to save Rainbow Dash just in time.
André (rolling on the ground with Rainbow Dash): …!
Once they stopped rolling on the ground he let go of Rainbow Dash.
André: Are you ok…?
Rainbow Dash: My wing is injured. I don't think I can use it to fly…
André: I guess it's a good thing I got here when I did then.
Rainbow Dash: Why'd you do that? I didn't need you to help me.
André: Oh please, you know you can't handle an Ursa Minor…imagine if it was a Major.
Rainbow Dash: M-Major?
André: Yeah…a major.
Rainbow Dash stood in silence trying not to think of what an Ursa, major, would've been like. She was even more silenced from the fact that André had saved her despite the fact that she classified him and Babe as bad. The Ursa shoved the forest trees aside in an attempt to find the two which it eventually did.
André (standing in front of Rainbow Dash): Yo, I'm going to distract it for you ok? While I do that I want you to make a run for the exit.
Rainbow Dash: But what about you and Babe?
André: Don't worry about us. I just want to make sure you make it out.
Rainbow Dash: Why would-
André: Just do it.
André ran to the other side of the forest. The Ursa saw him running, and its head followed the boy. It was unaware of what André was planning. André stopped and turned around to face it.
André: HEY, HEY! I'M OVER HERE!
André easily managed to get the Ursa's attention however he only made it angrier. The Ursa revealed its fangs and claws trying to scare André.
André: Shame on you messing with a defenseless pony! You aren't tough! I bet you can't even take on my friend Spike when he's a full fledge dragon! You're not even bigger than your mom bro, now how's that possible? She's so fat she got the cows mooing at her!
The Ursa finally snapped. It didn't hesitate in charging at André who quickly ran deeper into the forest in a panic.
André (running through the forest): Oh geez! The "your mom" jokes can make anything angry, even in the world of My Little Pony!
