My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Season 4

Episode 9: Rainbow Crush

(It opens as Doug does a quick trick with Rainbow Dash as they finish it up.)

Rainbow Dash: Doug, your flying abilities are now fifty percent cooler!
Doug: Wow, and we were only shooting for twenty. Hey, I was figuring on taking a walk around the place to kinda see all the hangouts, any ideas?
Rainbow Dash: Hey, how about I take you?
Doug: What? Really?
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, you're a friend, and I'd be honored.
Doug: Well thanks buddy. I'll be set by four.
Rainbow Dash: Awesome!

(Cut to four as Doug arrives at the door with flowers.)

Doug: Hey RD. These are for you.

(Doug puts the flowers in a vase for her.)

Rainbow Dash: Oh, that's so cool.
Doug: Yeah, I should thank you. I haven't been out with someone outside of a birthday party or a family outing since November.
Rainbow Dash: Well maybe this can be an unofficial date. You know, practice our moves on each other.
Doug: Ooh, cool! Well, let's head out.

(They do so. Cut to a restaurant.)

Doug: I will have the taco salad.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I'll have the same.

(They hand their menus to the waiter who heads off.)

Doug: So I get to see Rainbow Dash's moves on a date, so what are they?
Rainbow Dash: Well, I only have two big starter moves. The first one is basically a bottle of soda sent to the table "from a fan", and I just go, "Oh, this is so embarrassing. Can't I go anywhere without getting recognized?"
Doug: Oh, I've heard that move. I guess Wonder Bolt status has a lot of power to it.
Rainbow Dash: Totally. Oh, and also, another move is, "I was going to wait for you to be ready to kiss me, but you're so handsome, I just can't wait."
Doug: Whoa! Now that was the show stopper, right there. I almost leaned in.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, so what are some of your moves?
Doug: Okay, I only have one... So, where'd you grow up?
Rainbow Dash: Grow up? That's it? Boy Doug, you're lucky you're nice.
Doug: Just answer the question.
Rainbow Dash: Okay, I grew up in Cloudsdale.
Doug: So close to your parents?
Rainbow Dash: Eh, we care about each other, but we haven't been that close in a while.
Doug: Oh really? Why?
Rainbow Dash: I don't know. There's always seemed to have been this distance between us ever since I left flight school. We pretend it's not there, but it is.
Doug: Wow, sounds hard.
Rainbow Dash: It is... I just- Whoa! Awesome! And it's so simple. You go around any big defenses in a minute!
Doug: Yup.
Rainbow Dash: Awesome.

(Cut to the end of the day as Rainbow Dash and Doug get back to the guys' house as the two are laughing.)

Rainbow Dash: Oh man, that was the most awesome night I ever had in my life!
Doug: Yeah. It was great.
Rainbow Dash: So, I never really have that many end of the night moves, but how about you?
Doug: Not really. I just make a joke, you know like... "See you up there, RD."

(Rainbow Dash laughs.)

Rainbow Dash: Wow.
Doug: Well goodnight, RD.

(Doug goes to his room.)

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, good night.

(Rainbow Dash walks off confused. Cut to later as Rainbow Dash is at the town thinking.)

Rainbow Dash (mentally): That's weird. I mean, Doug's a friend. Just a friend. That was totally just a side effect of the unofficially date.

(Doug walks past.)

Doug: Hey RD.
Rainbow Dash: Hey. (Mentally) Oh, he's so handsome! ... Wait...

(She rushes to Sugar Cube Corner and gets to Pinkie.)

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie, I need you to keep a secret!
Pinkie: Cross my heart and hope to cry! Stick a cupcake in my eye!
Rainbow Dash: Okay... Okay... I have a crush on Doug.

(Pinkie gasps.)

Rainbow Dash: Don't worry. It's not a big deal. I'm sure I'll forget all about him once he gets back home.
Pinkie: Okay, but don't worry! Your secret's safe with me.

(Rainbow Dash and Pinkie shake hooves.)

The End.
