Chapter 14: Bad
vibes at the shopping arcade Unexpected
The next day finds Rainbow and Fluttershy walking within
a glass roofed, shopping arcade. The
stores are filled with merchandise, some familiar and some alien to the two
pony friends.
The trouble started with Chitchat Grapevine a young
unicorn mare with a shiny tin colored coat with a polished pewter mane and
tail, with the portraits of two ponies talking for a cutie mark. Chitchat takes a secret digital photo of them
with her PDA and then sends it to her friends.
Chitchat’s friends send the digital photo to their friends who rush over
to the arcade. Soon, a pony flash mob
surrounds Rainbow Dash, but ignores Fluttershy.
Chitchat points at Rainbow with her hoof while telling
her friends, “That’s the hero that gave us all those Pegasus treasures from the
abandoned cloud city to us ground ponies.”
In response, Rainbow Dash puts on her favorite pair of sunglasses
and smiles. “There’s no need for all of
you to get pushy. There’s a limitless
supply of Rainbow Dash awesomeness to satisfy everyone’s needs to meet Equestria’s
greatest flyer.”
On the edge of the crowd, Fluttershy speaking in a quiet
voice said, “Not to disagree with you or anything, but you know that Spitfire may
disagree with you about being the best Pegasus flier.”
Walking around the assembled mob of Dream Valley ponies
is a young Earth pony stallion with a polished stainless steel coat and a metallic
red mane and trail, with a push mower for a cutie mark. He walks over to Chitchat and then asks, “Chitchat,
Rainbow is mobbed by other ponies. What
about talking to the yellow Pegasus?”
Chitchat replies, “Lawn Care, don’t pay any attention
to Fluttershy. According to my friends’
online blogs that I’ve read so far, the yellow mare is more of an Earth Pony
who happens to have wings, than she is a real Pegasus.”
Understandably, Fluttershy was a bit miffed at being
described as not being a real Pegasus. Fluttershy
said to herself with a cute, yet angry face, “I’m not as good at flying as my
friend Rainbow. But, I’m still a real Pegasus.”
Fluttershy flies over to hover above Rainbow Dash, and
then says “Rainbow, we’re leaving!”
Fluttershy scoops a surprised Rainbow up in her four hooves. Fulttershy flies upward and then down the
wide arcade hall. The Dream Valley
ponies give chance down the hall, but they give up when Fluttershy, still
carrying Rainbow in her hooves escapes out an open window.
An exacerbated Rainbow asks, “Fluttershy, why did you
carry me away from my fans?”
“Some of those ponies are mean, and those mean ponies
said that I wasn’t a real Pegasus.”
With a surprised look on her face, Rainbow said, “Well
then, I don’t want to be around those Dream Valley ponies if a few of these
said bad things about you. Come to think
of it, even Twilight does not get as much attention for being a princess in Ponyville,
than Fluttershy and I get from these glossy coated and air-headed Dream Valley
ponies. Let’s fly over to the market and
see if there are Dream Valley novels that are similar to the Daring Do novels.”
