A Wedding To Remember!
Chapter 12- The Temperature Rises!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

As we all reached the gym, the teacher blew her whistle loudly.

“TWEEEEEEETTTTTTT! Okay everyone! Line up! Shortest to tallest!!!! NOW!!!!!”

Everyone lined up quickly. I was kind of short so I lined up next to Pinkie.

“Isn't this fun?”

“Yeah, sort of.”

“Okay! Boys!!! Sit down on the benches and the girls, we'll play some ruthless volleyball!!!”

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” I shouted. Everyone looked at me.

“I-I mean, yay.”

“What's the matter Dash? Afraid to get beaten?” Misty Fly asked as she threw the ball in the air and caught it again.

“Oh! IT. IS. ON!”

“Bottoms up!” A girl threw the ball in the air and I didn't know what to do. I heard of volleyball but never played it.

“Wait!!” I shouted as the ball flew towards me. But, Pinkie came right in front of me and hit the ball with all her might. I've never seen Pinkie so anxious before. She was a pro at this game. The ball kept swinging and one hit made the ball go over the net. I was just in the back just doing nothing.

“Dash! You're up! Get it!” Fleetfoot shouted as she warned me. I was running to try to get the ball and then I saw Soarin and he waved at me. I blushed and waved back.

“Oh, uh, hi to you to. Ooof!”

As I wasn't paying attention, Sunset slammed right into me.

“Oooohhh!” Pinkie and Fluttershy replied while covering their face.

“Ouch! Sorry Rainbow.” Sunset said as she wiped her clothes and picked me up.

“I-It's okay. I'm a failure.”

“What do you mean?” Rarity questioned as she put her hair in a ponytail. I was sweating like crazy and my ponytail was sort of lagging. I took a deep breath and tried to stretch. As I stretched, my shirt lifted up and all you saw was my stomach area. A few boys whistled and I rolled my eyes.

“Okay, so how do you play volleyball?”

Pinkie and Twilight laughed at my question.

“No no. I'm being serious. How do you play?”

“It's kind of like soccer but with hands. And the goal is to not make the ball hit the net. It's sort of complicated to explain but it's easy once you're doing it.” Twilight explained.

“Yo! Friendship squad! Let's get back to the game. Dash! You're up to serve!” The coach yelled and threw the ball at me. I caught it and I didn't know what the heck is a serve. I was holding the ball and was shaking. Some girls asked if I knew how to play. Some girls snickered. I saw Soarin at the corner of my eye and he looked at me with a sheepish smile. My cheeks turned a bright pink and I didn't know what to do.

“Psst! Throw it in the air and hit it.” Applejack whispered to me. I understood what she said. When I threw the ball in the air, I tried to hit it but I missed the ball and fell to the floor with a loud “THUD!!!!!”

Everyone looked away and some people were laughing. I got up from the ground and rubbed my head from the pain.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!” Misty Fly shouted as she was laughing with all her friends. A tear rolled down my cheek and I tried to get up, but I was squirming in pain.

“Hey look! She can't get up! She's a failure!!!” Misty snickered. I wanted to beat that son of a bitch to a pole and never stop.

“Hey! Don't be rude to my friends!” Pinkie shouted. Soon, Misty Fly went up to Pinkie’s face and pushed her with her finger.

“Girl, I don't know who you think you talking to.” Misty huffed.

“I'm talking to you, bitch!”

“Excuse me?”

“You're excused. Next time you're talking to my bestie like that, I'm going to severely hurt you. And take your finger out my face.”

“Ha, I like to see you try. And there's nothing you can do about it.”

“Get that finger out my face or I'll snap it off.”

“Snap it off and I'll snap your neck.”

“Haha, you won't even come near to me when I'm done with your ass.”

“Hey hey! Okay girls. Don't need to fight.” Applejack replied as she pulled Pinkie and Misty Fly back. “Let's get back to the game.”

“Okay Applejack. Can't argue with that. Coach, after this I demand a boys versus girls, dodgeball!” Pinkie screamed. Yes! A game that I'm a pro at!

“Yeah, coach! That's what I'm talking about!!” I yelled. The coach gave me a thumbs up, and then blew her whistle.

“Okay everyone. Boys and Girls, you both have 10 seconds to get yourselves together for some ruthless dodgeball. 10...9.”

Welp, everyone ran to the middle of the court and tried to hide behind some people. Soarin bumped into me.

“Hey baby girl. Glad I bumped into ya.”

“Uh yeah. Now's not a good time. I got a plan.”

“Oooh, I wanna know what it-”

“No!”

“1!!!!” Coach said as she threw the ball in rapid speed across the gym. A lot of kids were scattering like roaches. As I was running, I was laughing my behind off. My coach for the basketball team, Coach Johnson, caught the ball on the other side of the gym.

“Alright Coach!!!” I shouted. Yes! Now, this game was ruthless. Two of the fiercest coaches we playing dodgeball. Ha! This is my wish!

As the ball kept shooting from different directions, many kids got hit. It was just me, Soarin, Pinkie and Fleetfoot left. At the same time, Pinkie and Fleetfoot got hit at the same time. It was just me and Soarin.

“You ready to give up, Soarin?”

“Naw. You?”

“Ha nope.”

The coaches were just throwing the balls everywhere and neither did those balls hit me or Soarin. We were both dodging them. Soarin took my hand and my waist and pulled me to him.

“Hey, wanna win this together?” He whispered in my ear. I saw the ball coming towards my way.

“Sorry Soarin for doing this.” I replied as I grabbed his hand and make him get the ball.

“Ow! Hey, you-”

“Soarin!!!! Out!!! Let's go!!!” Coach Johnson yelled.

“I will get you back for this.”

“Hehe, okay. Come on coaches! Show me what ya got!”

“Cocky huh? Okay 10th graders. We have 1 minute on the clock, and if Rainbow Dash survives the minute, everyone will get a 100 for their PE grade.” Mr. Johnson spoke up. Everyone was shouting and was voting for me. I looked at the clock, and it read 1 minute.

“Come on Dash. You can do this!”

Both of the coaches threw the balls and I dodged them. I kept dodging each ball and somehow I was sweating bullets. I was using out all my stamina and energy and kept dodging. It has 5 seconds on the clock. Both of the coaches looked at me and threw the ball at the same time making me jump in shock. Luckily, my jump lasted for the 5 seconds left. Yay! The whole gym rejoiced. Everyone got a 100. The coaches congratulated me and all my friends gave me a hug. Pinkie ran towards me and hugged me.

“Dashie you won for us!!!! ACK!!!!!” She shouted as she had some water on her. “Who poured water on you?”

“Oh, that's not um water.” I said sheepishly.

“Ewwwwww!!!!!” Pinkie, Rarity and Sunset said at the same time. Yeah, I was sweating like a pig and my hair was wet as well.

“Here, ya might wanna use this.”

Applejack threw a towel at me so I started to wipe off my sweat. Pinkie bought me 6 bottles of water and by the time I reached the bench, I already finished 3.

“My goodness, Rainbow!” Twilight exclaimed. “We should've gotten you more bottles!”

“No, it's okay. I'm hot okay?”

“Indeed you are.”

I turned around and saw Soarin.

“I'm not surprised.”

“I know you're not. You see my handsome face everyday.”

“Yeah sure.”

“So Dash, how's wedding preparation?” Fluttershy asked.

“Oh, it's going pretty good if you ask me. But, also, we're trying to make sure my dad is okay first.”

“Yeah that's more important. Way more important. I don't want you to suffer.” Soarin replied as he put his arm around my shoulder.

“What do you mean by suffer?”

“I mean suffer the same way I once had suffered.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Oh well would you look at the time? I gotta go to class.”

“But you never cared about class. Soarin?”

“Yeah?”

“What's going on?”

“Nothing. I gotta go.”

“But-”

The bell rang. I grabbed my clothes and headed to class. I walked up behind Soarin. I walked right in front of him and stopped him.

“Soarin? What did you mean earlier?”

“What do you mean?”

“You said you suffered. What do you mean?”

“I'll tell ya later. Kay?”

“No, I need to know now. Tell me.”

“Why would you wanna know?”

“Because, I care for you.”

“You sure about that?”

“Soarin? Why are you acting like this?”

“Because, you're here. Okay? Just leave me alone!”

He was about to walk in the class and I tugged his arm.

“Soarin. Please tell me.”

“I said leave me alone!”

He flung his arm around and that hard impact hit me and I fell. Hard. I looked up and some people were laughing at me. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I ran to the nearest girl's bathroom. I went to the stall and locked it. I was crying buckets of tears.

“Dash? What's wrong?”

Cinnamon peaked out of my pocket and looked at me with the saddest eyes.

“L-Leave me be, Cinnamon.”

“What's wrong?”

“I-It's my fault. I caused so much to happen.”

“W-What do you mean?”

“My family hates me, Soarin hates me, and my dad is hurt, all because of me.”

“Awwwwwww.”

“There's nothing you can do about it. Okay? S-Stop worrying about me.”

“Okay.”

“I'm going home. Become a dropout.”

“A d-dropout?!!!! Dash no!”

“Who cares anymore!”

“Talk to Soarin. Here him out.”

I wiped my eyes and looked at Cinnamon.

“Okay.”

I walked out the bathroom and walked to the field. I saw Soarin on the soccer field and he came and hugged me tightly. We stood there for many minutes and it started to rain heavily. We both looked around and I got angry.

“I think we should go inside. I don't want you to catch a cold.”

“Hehe, I won't. But let's go. We have class.”

We both walked our separate ways and he smiled at me. He waved me goodbye as I walked to History class. When I walked inside, I saw the mistake in the world. Misty Fly.

“Why weren't you in the cafeteria? Oh yeah, you were digging out the garbage again.”

“You know. That wasn't funny.”

“It's not funny to you because it's true.”

“Looks like someone wants another busted lip.”

“Ms. Dash, please take your seat.” My history teacher, Mr. Sombra said as he was writing in the chalkboard. I took my seat and sat next to Sunset and put my head down.

“You okay? And uh Dash?”

“Yeah?”

“Um, you're wet.”

“I know.”

“Sweat?”

“Rain.”

“Ah, I see. Wait, you were outside for lunch?”

“Yeah, on the field.”

“Why were you there?”

“Looking for Soarin and now I'm sad.”

“Because he's not here?”

My cheeks slightly turned pink and I tried to hide it.

“N-No. Of course not. It's just that he makes the class funnier and better.”

“Yeah that's one thing I can agree with. Mr. Sombra is fun but so much work!!!” I complained.

“Ms. Dash, please stop complaining. Is that all you do in my class besides doing the work?”

“The work is a lot!!! Blech!!!”

“Alright class turn to page 53 and do questions 1-14.”

“Damn, all these questions!!” Pinkie shouted.

“PINKAMENA!!!!!!!!” Mr. Sombra yelled. Everyone jumped up in fright.

“W-What? I'm sorry.”

“Good. Now be quiet or else you'll go to the principal’s office.”

“For what?! I mean, yes Mr. Sombra.” Pinkie slouched.

We all felt bad for Pinkie. It stopped raining after a while, then the sun started to shine. It started to get hot in the room and I took a textbook and started to fan myself. As I was fanning myself, the door opened and it was Soarin.

“Holy sh-”

I cleaned my desk and sat in a proper position.

“Ah! My favorite student. How you doing?” Mr. Sombra smiled.

Wait, pause the tape! Soarin is Mr. Sombra’s favorite student?!! OMG!!! Maybe he can help me boost my grade!

“I'm doing good. Just came here to see my favorite class.” He said as he looked at me and gave me a kiss face. I blushed and spoke up.

“Soarin, aren't you suppose to be in class?”

“Nope, I missed someone.”

“Lemme guess. Your favorite teacher?”

“You, baby girl.”

My cheeks turned red immediately as the class started to ‘ooohh’ and ‘ahhhh’.

“Oh God.” I replied while using the textbook to cover my face.

“Need help Dashie? With the work?”

“Um, yeah.”

He looked at the page we did.

“Oh that's easy.”

“Well for you.”

“Here, lemme help you.”

He gave me most of the answers and helped me understand some. Soarin's a real sweetheart. After the work, he made a few jokes which made me laugh a bit.

“Soarin, why don't you help someone who needs help like me?” Misty Fly said as she pushed her book over my work.

“Well, I heard you got a good grade in this class so I guess you don't need help.”

“Ha!” I laughed. “I mean, um I have something in my mouth.”

“Yeah, sure you do.”

Misty gave me a dirty look and walked back to her seat and of course to get Soarin's attention she tucked her butt out. He looked at it and made a joke.

“Hey, her butt isn't as big as yours. Yours is what I love to stare at.” He whispered as he touched my left thigh.

“Ah!! Nope. Don't touch there. That's off limits.”

“It is? There's no sign.”

He kept rubbing my thigh and it felt so good. I moaned lightly. I covered my mouth immediately after that I did.

“You like it huh?”

“G-Get away from me~”

“Why? You like it.”

I moaned a bit more and tried to remove his hand.

“S-Soarin. Mmmm, s-s-stop. Please?”

“You're begging for me?”

“Ahh! Get off me! Please!” I shouted as I grabbed his hand away from my thigh. “Gosh!!!”

Everyone looked at us. My cheeks turned red and I covered my face. Mr. Sombra went to the photocopier room to make some copies of our homework. So, of course, the class was loud. And Misty Fly pushed her book in my face.

“Soarin, it's time for you to teach me and not this little-”

“SAY IT!!!!! I DARE YOU!!”

“In fact, I will.”

“What's up with you?!”

“I'm just upset that Soarin always spends time with you.”

“Because he's my friend. Dafuq?”

“Um, Dash?” Soarin asked.

“You're loyal to everyone!!! Make some new friends!!!”

“Loyalty doesn't mean finding friends. It means standing up for them!!!”

“PREACH!!!!!!” Fleetfoot shouted. I rolled my eyes.

“Look, before you even saw Soarin, he was mine! And our love was in a little bubble.” Misty said as she was all up in my face.

“Well, I think you're afraid of me popping your bubble.”

“Our love is like a brick wall!!!”

“Well, you're afraid of me climbing up that wall. And what love? Soarin hates you.”

“No hon, he hates you!”

“You're just angry because you love Soarin and you can't have him!!”

“Ooooohhhh!! She greased you!!” Fleetfoot shouted. Misty Fly was highly upset.

“Well, I'm not a girl who thinks that she put her father in the hospital for some severe stroke!!!”

That's when my mind went blank. Tears rolled down my face and I couldn't even think. Or breathe for that matter. Everything was just blank. I looked up at her with tears running down my cheeks. Then, my anger grew and grew and I really wanted to beat the crap out of her. For insulting me and my dad. I looked at her with a mean face expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Cause I'm about to severely hurt you!”

“Dash! Woah, woah! Calm down!!” Soarin replied pulling me back.

“Don't worry Soarin. Let her anger from causing what she did to her poor father to burn inside of her. Ugh, who would raise such an arrogant being?”

“That's it!!!”

I jumped on her and punched her in the face 5 times before someone pulled me back.

“Dash! Fighting isn't the answer!”

“When are you going to let people fight their own battles for themselves?!!” I shouted in his face and grabbed my bag and went out the door.

I was crying and I went to the roof. I dropped my bag on a chair and cried my eyes out on a nearby table. I was crying loudly and I looked up and saw Cinnamon sleeping. The way she sleeps is just too cute! Her little paws are out and her tiny short breaths were to do for. I wiped my tears and smiled at her.

“Maybe I was a bit rude to Soarin. I shouldn't have said that. Who knows where he can be?”

“I'm right here.”

I jumped up and saw Soarin standing right behind me with a smirk. I giggled and have him a big hug.

“Soarin? I'm so so sorry for what I said back there. That was very rude of me.”

“It's okay Dash. Even if you are right. Hehehe.”

“What?”

“You really reminded me of myself. I told my brother the exact same thing you told me.”

“Really?”

“Yup. Your comment reminded of myself. But, it's for a good cause.”

“Hehe, okay Soarin.”

We both walked to the railing and watched the view of the campus. It was a bit windy up here and the wind blew our hair.

“Beautiful.”

“Oh, thank you Soarin.”

“Hehe, not you. The view.”

Oh, um, yeah, um, right.” I blushed from embarrassment.

“Well, it's not that you're not beautiful. You're beyond more than that.”

“Oh yeah? So what am I?”

He pulled my body to his.

“Sexy.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah, you are. Very.”

“Y-Yeah. So, um, it's windy. And a bit cloudy.”

“Yeah. Well, I guess that's good for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that you can relax. We don't have any homework.”

“Oh, you're right. Also, was it wrong for me to cut class? I mean, Mr. Sombra will kill me.”

“He's not going to fail my best friend. I'll tell him to cut you some slack after what's been going on for the past few days. Also, I'm his favorite student.”

“Hehe, I didn't know. Maybe you can help me with my grades for Social Studies. Like say, come to my house after school. 3 days a week.”

“Or maybe all 5 days.”

“Huh?”

“I know you've been failing in Social Studies. If your parents find out I'm helping you, then it'll be a good cause. Besides, I am working with you for the wedding.”

“True! So, you're saying 5 days a week will help me more than 3 days?”

“Mhm. Besides, I only live only 3 blocks away from you. I could walk.”

“But, what if it rains?”

“I'll wear a jacket.”

“But what if it snows?”

“In Spring Dashie? Impossible.”

“Hehehe, okay Soarin. 5 days it is!”

“Okay Dashie. Perfect.”

We shook hands then looked at the sky. After a while, I had something troubling my mind which made a teardrop fall from my eye.

“S-Soarin?”

“Yeah Dashie?”

“A-Am I arrogant?”

“Well, I'm going to be honest with you. Yeah, you kind of are. But that doesn't mean you can change from being arrogant. It's just that you always but yourself first. Care to tell me why?”

“No, there's no reason. I'm just awesome.”

“Yup, that's your problem. Always thinking about yourself. Think about others. That's the only way to have joy. The ‘y’ is you. Have you last.”

“If ‘y’ is for you, then what ‘j’ and ‘o’?”

“O is for others.”

“And ‘j’?”

“You can figure that on your own.”

“Okay, I'll try. But, I am awesome right?”

“Dashie-”

“Answer the question!”

“No, you're not!”

It was silent.

“You're more than that.” He replied with a smile. I was so happy that I jumped on him and hugged him.

“Hehe, cold huh?”

“Hehehehehe, no! Just wanted to give you a hug you goof!”

“Hehe, thanks though.”

“Hehe, no problem. So, wanna start the tutoring tomorrow?”

“Definitely!”

The bell rang and school was over. I grabbed my bag and Soarin tugged my arm.

“I'll see you later? After practice? I might stop by.”

“Coach Glider won't be happy about that Soarin.”

“Awwww come on! She loves me.”

“Does she?”

“Well, not the other few times where I accidentally knocked over her mug of coffee.”

“Mhm, and how many times was that?”

“Um, about 5?”

“5!”

“No wait, 7.”

“Ay Soarin. What is she going to do with you?”

“I dunno. I could tell she was a bit angry in dodgeball today with Coach Johnson.”

“Hehehe, maybe because of you!” I laughed as I was bursting with laughter.

“Oh you think that's funny?” He asked as he began to tickle me. I laughed louder and tried to hide my giggles. I took his hands and we both looked at each other and then looked away to hide our blush.

“What am I going to do with you Soarin?”

“Date me and we'll call it even.”

“Hehehehehe, it's not going to be that easy.” I grabbed my bag and headed down the stairs.

“Hey Dash?!”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you. For the talk.”

“No, I should be thanking you.”

“Yeah, but I'll cut you some slack.”

“Cutting slack for me twice in day, huh?”

“Yup, that's what friends do for friends. I'll see ya at practice.”

“Mhm.”

I walked to the girls locker room and more trouble awaited me there.

“So, who's your little pet?” Fleetfoot smirked at me. I knew she was talking about Soarin.

“Ugh, not this again!”
