Project R.A.R.I.T.Y

Late Night Texting

I couldn't fall asleep. Fluttershy was fast asleep, not even snoring. But I couldn't sleep. I lay there awake. I sighed, pulling out a flashlight, pen and notebook from my bag. I switched the flashlight on, gripped it between my teeth and flashed it towards my notebook. Eversince I started my SoarinDash ship, I couldn't help but draw them together.

When my drawing was complete, I studied my drawing. Running on the race track together. I smiled. That was the first time I've ever drew something like that. I started doodling in my book. Just random things.

My bag vibrated. A text message. At the same time, I heard Fluttershy's phone vibrate as well. I pulled out my phone and checked my notifacations.

Rainbow Dash: You up?

A text from Rainbow. I couldn't help but check Fluttershy's phone. Same text. But I notice Flutter's lock screen wallpaper. It was her and Discord, an older guy, taking a selfie. I could never understand why they were friends. Fluttershy is a good, kind girl and Discord was a mischevious boy failed so many exams and is STILL in our grade, even though he was as old as my principle.

I shut off her phone. And answered Rainbow.

Rarity: Yes.

Almost immediately, she replied. God, she is one fast girl.

Rainbow Dash: Sup, Rare? You still up? I can't sleep. Scoot's snores a LOT

Rarity: You're still at Scootaloo's house?

Rainbow Dash: Yea, it's like a sleepover

Hmmm. Should I ask her about Soarin? Yea. I'll try.

Rarity: Rainbow, can I ask you a question?

Rainbow Dash: Shoot

Rarity: What do you think of Soarin?

She wasn't replying. It was as if she was pausing. After a while, I got a reply.

Rainbow Dash: Don't talk to me about that jerk.

WHAT? I haven't even done anything yet and now I have to up my game?

Rarity: What do you mean?

Rainbow Dash: I don't want to talk about it. Or him. Night, Rare.

Her status switched to 'Offline'. I sighed. Are you kidding me? She won't even tell me why! Maybe I could ask somebody from the Wondercolts group. But I don't have any of their phone numbers. That's when I remembered, Fluttershy is part of the Wondercolts!

I grabbed Fluttershy's phone. Lucky for me, it had no lock or password. I looked at her contacts and found what I needed. Spitfire, Soarin's cousin! She'll know why!

Fluttershy: Are you awake? By the way, this is Rarity.

Spitfire: Course I'm awake! I've never been so hyper in my life! WOO!!

Spitfire, queen of cool and calm, seems as cool and calm as Pinkie Pie now.

Fluttershy: Can I ask you something?

Spitfire: Wattup?

Fluttershy: What's up with all the hate between Rainbow Dash and Soarin?

Spitfire: You don't know?

Fluttershy: No.

Spitfire: Hold on, I got a video.

A few seconds later, Spitfire sent me a video. I played it. I saw Rainbow and Soarin, standing in the middle of the Cafeteria. They looked angry.

"You took the last apple pie?!" Soarin yelled at Rainbow. "How was I supposed to know you wanted it?" Rainbow asked, slightly louder than he did. "You KNOW I like apple pie!" He replied in anger. "You're an idiot who's 0 percent generous! You like pigging stuff for yourself!" Soarin said in an accusing tone. "Pig on this!" He said, turning to a table.

I gasped as I watch Soarin return with a glass of chocolate milk in his hands and poured it onto the head of a very surprised looking Rainbow Dash. Rainbow growled, whirl around to another table. "You wanted my pie so much, TAKE IT!" She shrieked, smashing an apple pie into his face before storming off.

The video then ended.

Fluttershy: Well, that's bad.

Spitfire: Yea, I know what you're thinking. I ship them too. Soarin seems to regret what he did.

She sent me a picture. I suppose it was Soarin's room, and it was a mess. There were crumpled paper everywhere, some pasted onto the walls. All the papers were scribbled, 'I'M SORRY' and around the between some of the notes pasted on the walls were pictures of Rainbow. How did he even get those pictures? Nevermind that.

Fluttershy: Glad to know. Good night for now.

Spitfire: BTW, I'm pretty sure Soarin has a thing for Rainbow. That's what I think. THINK. THINK.

Fluttershy: Okay, okay. Whatever you say. Good night.

Spitfire: Night

And with that, I deleted our conversation and drifted to sleep.
