Garfield Meets the Equestria Girls
Chapter 16: Rainbow Dash
Previous Chapter Next ChapterOutside at the soccer field of the school, Rainbow Dash was practicing her soccer skills.
Applejack meets with her seconds after she scores.
"They're actually talking! That's a good sign!", Rarity joys.
A moment of silence ensues with Applejack and Rainbow Dash talking at the middle of the field, with the six Garfield characters, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, sitting on the bleachers.
"Wait for it...", Jon predicts.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash, suddenly hug each other.
"Hugs! Ooh, hugs are always good!", Pinkie Pie cheered.
"Somebody, and I think we can all guess who, told Rainbow Dash that my bake sale had been moved to a different day. Dash showed up with all the softball team and thought I'd cancelled on her.", explains Applejack, about why Rainbow Dash didn't show up at the bake sale.
"So you and your six chaperones are looking to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and become Princess of the Fall Formal, huh?", asks Rainbow Dash. "Gotta say, I'd really love to see that happen. I'll totally help you guys out. All you gotta do is beat me on a one-on-one game."
"What?!", Twilight asks, whom she knows she doesn't play soccer before.
"My cat Garfield will volunteer.", Jon kindly asks.
"First to five goals wins.", Rainbow Dash told the rule of the game, scoring a goal again. "One-zip!"
The game begins.
In the first round, Garfield was out and Twilight was goalie while Rainbow Dash was kicking the ball towards the goal. When Rainbow kicks the ball really hard, and sending it towards Twilight, she ducked just to avoid pain, thus earning Rainbow a point. Even though she had a head start before the first round, it was 2-0.
In the second round, Garfield was goalie and Twilight was going to kick the ball, but Rainbow, who was supposed to give it to her, instead snatches the ball and kicks at to the goal. Garfield tries to hit the ball to avoid hitting the ball, he fails to do so by a few inches. It was 3-0.
In the third round, Twilight gains the chance of kicking the ball towards Rainbow's goal, but seconds before she kicks it hard, Rainbow once again steals the ball, kicking it towards the goal again, with Garfield hitting the ball with his head, but still makes a goal behind him. It was 4-0.
And in the final round, Twilight gets another chance of kicking the ball by stealing Rainbow's ball, with Garfield supporting her even though he was goalie. The six humans and four pets were looking on proudly, but as Garfield and Twilight tries to kick the ball at the same time, they both accidentally fall backwards. The ball reaches Rainbow Dash, who is goalie in the final round. She kicks it so high up in the air that it makes the final goal by reaching the goal. The score was 5-0.
The game ends.
Twilight was breathing tiredly after the game while Garfield was beginning to breath rapidly, more like hyperventilating.
"That's game!", Rainbow announces.
She witnesses the tired Twilight and hyperventilating Garfield, and reacts by realizing that they've tried their best.
The others look at the two, feeling sorry.
"Garfield! Twilight! Are you okay?", Jon and Liz cared.
"...Meow.", Garfield meowed.
"I...really thought you were gonna pull it off there at the end.", Rarity thought, with the humans except Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight looking at her angrily.
Garfield and Twilight has finally regained their energy after breathing for a few times.
"So, what's the plan?", asks Rainbow Dash. "How can I help you and your chaperones be Princess instead of Sunset Shimmer?"
"But...we...lost!", Twilight tires, trying to breath for air.
"Of course you lost. I'm awesome. But I'm not gonna help just anybody try and beat Sunset Shimmer. The Fall Formal princess should be someone with heart and determination.", Rainbow Dash teached Twilight and the six Garfield characters this.
"Well, she and us are trying our best!", Jon proves.
"Absolutely! You guys proved that you got 'em both!", Rainbow agrees.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash then hug, with Garfield, Jon and Liz altogether hug the former cat. This makes Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, Odie, Nermal and Arlene to cheer for them.
Once again, unfortunately, Snips, Snails and Sunset Shimmer were hiding behind the bleachers, and Snips and Snails manage to capture Twilight and Garfield playing the soccer game.
Sunset Shimmer smiles evilly for their next plan to unfold.
