RAINBOW DASH :THE REAL STORY

CHAPTER 8

SATURDAY MORNING

After slamming the snooze on my alarm, I threw on my running clothes, and went for a run. It was about 4:30 in the morning with a slight breeze and it wasn't too hot or too cold, perfect for my morning run. Today I decided to take a break from my usual route and go down Shadow Street for a change. It just so happens that Hot Topic, the best place to get MLP merchandise, is on that street. I wanted to get myself some new merchandise and get my friends some for the occasion.

I jogged into the store and quickly found the MLP merchandise. I got myself a Friendship Is Magic shirt, plushies of the mane six, and (believe it or not) an MLP dress. For Pinkie, I got as much Pinkie Pie merchandise as I could find. For Big M, I got as much Apple family merchandise as I could find. I told the shopkeeper, Meg, that I'll pick up my stuff in a bit and walked out of Hot Topic with my shirt and dress.

5:30

When I got home, I took a shower, and changed into my new shirt. Then, I decided to watch a little Tv. MLP didn't come on for a few hours, so instead I decided to watch my second favorite show. Doctor Who. I have every Doctor Who show recorded on my Tv right next to MLP.

9:30

I ran back down Shadow Street and into Hot Topic. I had just texted Big M and Pinkie to pick me up here. I took the things I had bought earlier that day and thanked Meg for holding onto them for me. Then, I waited for my ride.

9:40

"What's with the bags?" Big M asked.

"Oh, you'll see when we get to your house. Now let's drive. I don't want to miss anything." I said with a smile. Pinkie was bouncing up and down in the back seat with a huge smile on her face that only her and the real Pinkie could pull off.

9:50

We pulled up to Big M's house and ran inside. Big M turned on the TV just so we could count down. "Okay, now what's with the bags?" he asked me.

"Well, during my morning run, I stopped by Hot Topic to get my shirt and I had Meg hold a few things for me." I held my hand out to the bags.

"What's in them?" Pinkie asked.

"Why don't you open them?"I said with a smile as I handed my friends one bag each. Pinkie's hand was in her bag first. I watched as she pulled out a Pinkie Pie plushie, Pinkie shirts, bows, laces, stickers, posters, and just about every piece of Pinkie merchandise that I could find.

Big M pulled out an Apple Jack and Big Mac plushie, shirts, laces, stickers, posters, phone case, and more. I had even got him his own cowboy hat and lasso like AJ. Pinkie tackled me in a huge Pinkie-hug and squealed, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Rainbow Dash!" When she finally got off me and sat down, I was kinda glad. She was squeezing me to death. Then, Big M did something unexpected. He walked over to me and hugged me. "Thank you Dashie." he whispered in my ear.

His orange hair was tickling my neck. "Your welcome big guy." I said, awkwardly patting him on the back. I was shocked. Big M never gave hugs to anybody. Not even to his own parents.

The next few months were a blur. Between school, cross-country, MLP, and Doctor Who, I was busy as a bee. My mom came and went on her trips. Big M, Pinkie, and I found out that a Brony convention was held every year for Bronies and Pega-Sisters. This year was going to be different though. Why? Because this year Tri-Fold City, a city close to our town, will be holding the convention. My mom was out that day too! The only problem, is that we only had enough for one entry ticket, even with all our money. (They are expensive!)

After a while of thinking, Pinkie and Big M came up with a solution. "You go." Big M said.

"Me? Alone? Why don't you go? I know you want to." I argued.

"Well, there will be other conventions for me and Pinkie to go to. I know that the next time one comes around and we have the money for all of us, your mom won't let you go. Now may be your only chance." Big M said, clearly not going to give up.

I looked from him to Pinkie and sighed. "Fine. I give up. I'll go."

"Yay!" Pinkie squealed and hugged me.

"Good because I already have your entry ticket." Big Mac handed me a slip of paper.

"Thank you." It was my turn to give surprises now. I hugged him and he squeezed me tight. For once, I felt loved.
