Overcast: Yes, mommy.
 
Rainbow: ARE YOU READY TO DESTROY EVERYPONY ON THAT FIELD???
 
Overcast: …….. n-no?
 
Rainbow: Well you better get ready! It’s destroy or get destroyed out there. This is HOOFBALL.
 
Soarin: Uh, flag hoofball, actually.
 
Rainbow: Oh whatever, the flag part is just a suggestion.
 
Soarin: It’s… really not.
 
Sunset: Rainbow! Soarin!
 
Rainbow: Oh hey, Sunset! What’re you doing here?
 
Sunset: I’m here for the flag hoofball game. Little Sunshine here’s gonna play!
 
Sunshine: Do I have to? I’d rather be at Canterlot with Mama doing princess stuff…
 
Sunset: Yes, Sunny. Sports are good! You’ll learn about teamwork and get big and strong and it’s also just really fun!
 
Rainbow: Huh, I see Sunshine’s on the opposite team! Better watch out for this one! pulls Overcast close to her She’s a killer on the field.
 
Overcast: I am?
 
Sunset: Oh…. cool…. turns, grabs Sunshine’s face and whispers to him Sun, if she’s coming towards you, you RUN.
 
Sunshine: w-wha
 
Sunset: YOU. RUN. FOR YOUR LIFE. She will END YOU if she’s anything like Rainbow.
 
Sunshine: I’m less sold on this sports thing than I was initially.
 
Sunset: Let’s go in shall we?
 

 
Rainbow: COME ON CASS! ONE MORE TOUCHDOWN AND WE WIN!
 
Overcast: nods
 
Rainbow: SHOW NO WEAKNESS! PILE DRIVE THROUGH THEM!
 
Overcast: rolls eyes
 
Rainbow: DON’T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME YOUNG LADY I CAN SEE YOU FROM HERE.
 
The whistle blows and Overcast is passed the ball. Being as athletic as she is, she gets past her opponents with ease. All except one rather large filly, with blonde hair who goes by the name Honey Crisp. Overcast narrowly dodges her with a spin but before she knows it, she’s face to face with the very, very tiny, scared and frail Sunshine. Like real tiny. Not wanting to decimate the small boy, Overcast quickly turns. She avoids crashing into him but she does still bump him over.
 
Sunshine: OW! OWOWOWOWOWOW!
 
Sunset: Sunshine!
 
Overcast: stops running and looks behind her Oh no!
 
Rainbow: I– what the– CASS HE’S FINE KEEP GOING YOU’RE SO CLOSE. NONONONO PLEASEKEEPGOINGTHETOUCHDOWNISRIGHTAAAAannd she’s turning around. Great.
 
Overcast: drops the ball and runs over to Sunshine Are you okay?
 
Sunshine: sniffles My hoof. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! tears begin welling in his eyes
 
Overcast: Oh no, shhhh it’s alright! Princesses are tough you know! No need to cry. I can help.
 
Sunshine: stops fussing Y-yeah?
 
Overcast: Yeah… um…. picks up Sunshine’s flag and wraps it around his hoof See? Feel better?
 
Sunshine: I… I DO! Wow thank you, Overcast!
 
Overcast: No problem!
 
???: Whoa are you alright kid? You sure did…. get…. tipped over.
 
Sunshine: Yes I’m just fine Nurse Amber. Overcast did your job for you.
 
Amber: Huh, that she did. Not bad, Miss Overcast. Methinks you got a future in this kinda thing.
 
Overcast: Really? Thank you!  

 
(after the game)
 
Overcast: walks over to her parents Hey mom, I’m sorry I didn’t get that touchdown I–
 
Rainbow: Hey no worries, kiddo. Whatcha did back there was very cool. The only thing better than winning sports is good sportsmanship.
 
Overcast: So… you’re not disappointed?
 
Rainbow: Eeeeeeeeeeh well I wouldn’t say “nooooot” disappointed.
 
Soarin: nudges Rainbow
 
Rainbow: I’m kidding! You made me real proud today, Cass. For real.
 
Overcast: smiles
 
Applejack: Good game today, Overcast!
 
Overcast: Thank you Mrs. AJ! And good job to you, Honey Crisp. You almost got me in that last play.
 
Honey Crisp: nods and smiles shyly
 
Applejack: Y’all did a great job and all but ah, Rainbow. About that bet…
 
Rainbow: ……. mumbles and throws some bits at Applejack
 
Soarin: Dash…… did you…. bet on our child winning hoofball today?
 
Rainbow: NO…………………………………………………………………………….. well like…. only a little.
 
Overcast: shakes head and smirks Disappointed.
 

 

 
An Amber cameo? And “‘Honey Crisp?’ I thought her name was Anjou,” you may be thinking. That’s another story~
 
I feel rusty but hey, hope you enjoy anyway!
