She is Cool

"And finally hoof-wrestling. Those are eight, eight more reason why Rainbow Dash is cooler than Applejack!" Scootaloo announced, holding a list.

"Whatever. On half of that list she used her wings to win," Apple Bloom replied.

"Well duh, what kind of pegasus doesn´t use her wings to win?"

"You, for example."

"Hey! That wasn´t nice!"

"You have spent the entire afternnon braggin about how Rainbow is cooler than my sister!"

"Well, she is. Your sister is nice but Rainbow is a million times better than her."

"She is not! Take it back!"

"I will not!"

"I said take it back!"

As the punches and kicks began, Applejack rushed into the clubhouse and separated the two fillies. "Enough! Now I want you two to explain what is going! Over what are you two fighting about this time?"

"No-nothing." Apple Bloom said while Scootaloo kept quiet.

"If it´s nothing there´s no reason to get into a hoof-fight. Apologize to each other. Now."

"Sorry Scootaloo."

"Sorry Apple Bloom."

"Well, that´s something. Horsefeathers, why do you keep fighting like this?" Applejack asked.

"I have to go. I promised Fluttershy I´ll help her with the chickens. I don´t have time to waste with another one here," Apple Bloom said.

Scootaloo was about to burst but Apple Bloom left in a gallop. Applejack noticed the list and took it.

"Pictionary? Huh, you know she cheated on that one? Awesomeness is not a word in the dictionary."

"It is! And Rainbow never cheats!"

"But she sure is a sore loser. She still argues Twilight about this one."

"That´s because Twilight is wrong," Scootaloo replied and took back her list.

Applejack just smiled and went back to her chores. Scootaloo was about to grab her scooter and head back home, but the fight with Apple Bloom was still fresh in her mind. How could she not see that Rainbow was better than her sister? She decided to prove her than Applejack was not cool at all, that she was a boring farmer pony. She sat down in a log and watched her work, convinced it was the most boring thing ever.

After half of hour of being observed, Applejack finally said "If you´re gonna stand there instead of going back home, why don´t you better help me gather these apples?"

Scootaloo obeyed, still convinced this was a lame activity that Rainbow will never do. She grabbed all the apples near a tree and then noticed one still in a branch.

"I´ll ge tthat one in a second," Applejack said.

"I can do it."

"Is a little too high for you sugarcube."

"I said I can do it!" Scootaloo yelled and jumped over to the branch. Applejack was right, she couldn´t reach it but that didn´t mean she will give up. She flapped her wings as hard as she could and finally grabbed the apple. She took a second to celebrate, forgetting to flap her wings.

"Auh, you okay sugarcube?"

****

"I still think Rainbow is cooler than you." It was a strange way to thank the pony that was bandaging her hooves but Scootaloo was too stubborn to even be grateful.

"I don´t care if I´m cooler than Rainbow. I don´t even care what cool means. I don´t compete with Rainbow to win."

"Then why you do it?"

"Because is fun. Rainbow is one of my best friends and there´s nothing more fun than pushing your own limits competing with a good friend!"

Scootaloo had no witty remark, so she just blushed a little.

"Now come on, we still have work to do."

"You still want me to help you?" Scootaloo asked.

"You´re not getting out of your chores so easily as Apple Bloom. Now, get up."

*****

"Great work Scootaloo!"

Scootaloo collapsed in the grass, gasping. "That was...exhausting. I never knew the work of a farm pony was so hard."

"And you only did it one afternoon. Imagine if you have to do it a full week."

"I can do a full week, no problems."

"Is that a bet? You think you can handle as much work as I do?"

"I can! I can show you than I´m way cooler than you are!" Realizing what she just said, Scootaloo entire body blushed.

"I take your word then. Come back tomorrow for more work."

"Yo-you bet!"

Scootaloo dashed back to the clubhouse. She opened her saddlebag and took a piece of paper. it was labeled "How to prove Rainbow Dash I´m cool." She scratched the name and replace it.

A confident smile on her face, she got on her scooter and took off, wondering if she should get a stetson.
