After school Lunarstar went to practice, at the Track N Field,
she and the other ponies sat on the bleachers waiting for the
coach.
Lunarstar looked in the distance, she could see the group of
ponies gathered in the other field.
A few seats down was Raspberry and her friends.
"Raspberry, I heard your brother's one of the best on the
team," one of her friends commented.
Raspberry smiled, "Yeah, he is. Blueberry is one of the
best on the team."
"I heard Ace is better," the other friend remarked.
"If you ask me, the team couldn't win without Blueberry,"
Raspberry replied.
Just then, the coach showed up, "alright, listen up."
The girls sat still and listened, "Today, we're going to
exercise."
Everyone looked disappointed and began groaning about it.
"Come one girls let get started," The Coach ordered.
After practice Lunarstar walked to the other field to watch
the Soccer practice. Lunarstar stood next to the bleachers watching
the ponies. They were either kicking the ball through cones or
they were kicking the ball in a net or dribble on their heads.
The coach blew the whistle, "Ok, practice is over, see you
guys at the game in a few days!"
The ponies put the ball in a big bag next to a bench before leaving.
"Blueberry!" called the Coach.
Blueberry stopped and turned around. He trotted over to the coach,
"coach?"
Lunarstar stood and listened, she couldn't help but over hear
them talking.
"Blueberry, you should bring your Parents to see the next
game."
"But Coach, they're...Um...busy,"
"Your parents are the only ones I haven't meet yet."
"But..."
"Bring your Parents to the next game. I'm looking forward
to meeting them," The coach smiled and walked away.
Blueberry stood looking troubled, when he turned around, he noticed
Lunarstar watching him. He walked over to her, "hi."
"Hi, I'm waiting for Patch," Lunarstar noticed his
troubled look, "Is there something wrong?"
"Wrong?" Blueberry asked.
"I saw you talking to the coach."
"Oh...Nothing's wrong. I just have a lot of thinking to
do."
"Oh. I saw you practicing, your as good as Ace."
"Thanks but I think Ace is better than me."
Lunarstar noticed Patch leaving, "Well, keep practicing.
I'm sure you'll beat Ace someday...I got to go. See you later!"
"Bye."
Lunarstar ran to catch up with Patch, "Patch!"
"Lunarstar, is Practice over?"
"Well, practice finish early and I thought I'd watch you
guys for a while."
"Are you coming for the game?" Patch asked.
"Yea I am and so are my parents."
Lunarstar and Patch continued walking across the field towards
the school yard.
"Have you ever meet Blueberry's parents?" Lunarstar
asked.
"No."
"You never seen them at the game?"
"No, just Raspberry. Why do you ask?"
"I was just carious," Ahead was the park, a short cut
the her house, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye," Patch took a different rout through the park
to her house.
She walked through the park, enjoying the sunshine and the
birds chirping. then she stopped, ahead of her was Buster and
Charades. She ran up to them.
"Lunarstar, what's the hurry?" Charades asked.
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" Buster asked.
"Are you going to the Soccer game?"
"What Soccer game?" Buster asked.
"There's a School Soccer game in a few days. Me and my parents
are going."
"Sure, we'll go. We don't have anything else to do,"
Charades answered.
"Great. Well...I' should be going. See you guys later,"
Lunarstar left and continued walking through the park.
She came to a corner and saw Blueberry with his parents. Lunarstar
hid behind a tree trunk that sat next to the sidewalk.
The mother was a light pink pony with blue and purple hair. The
father was white with orange and green hair.
His Parents looked upset with Blueberry.
"I wonder what's going on? Are they his parents?" Lunarstar
asked herself, "I guess I shouldn't be spying."
Lunarstar came out from behind the tree and began walking on
the side walk. Suddenly Blueberry left his Parents and ran in
the opposite direction, right into Lunarstar.
Lunarstar jumped out of the way, if she hadn't Blueberry would
have knock her down. Lunarstar looked back at Blueberry, he ran
out of the park and headed towards the old Track N Field.
Blueberry's parents called out to him but her didn't answer.
Lunarstar turned around and followed Blueberry.
She soon found him laying in the grass under a tree. He was
staring at the Construction of the old Track N field through
the fence.
Lunarstar quietly walked up to him. Blueberry turned around,
"What?"
"Don't tell me there's nothing wrong."
"Leave me alone."
Lunarstar refused to leave. She sat down next to him, "This
is the spot where I sat watching you, Ace, Teddy and Lancer play
Soccer."
"Just drop it."
"Drop what?"
"Soccer," Blueberry replied.
"Are your parents going to the game?"
Blueberry faced to the other direction, he didn't want to talk.
Lunarstar knew there was something wrong and he wasn't about
to tell her if she flat out asked him.
"Are your parents going?" Lunarstar asked again.
"No," Blueberry groaned.
"Is that why your upset?"
Blueberry didn't answer right away, "No."
"Why are you upset?"
"That's non of your business. Just leave me alone,"
Blueberry exclaimed.
Lunarstar sigh, "I'm sorry. I just want to help."
"I seriously doubt there's anything you can do."
Lunarstar stood up, "Ok."
Blueberry turned and looked at her.
"I go and tell Raspberry where you are and..."
"No," Blueberry interrupted, "Don't bring her
here. She's the last pony that I'd want to see."
Blueberry sat up and stared at the workers on the Construction
site, "I love playing Soccer. I always have."
Lunarstar sat down and listened.
"When I was little, I joined the Soccer team. I was good
at playing Soccer and we won most of the time. The game started
the day after it had just rained. The Coach said the field was
ok, so we played. It was half way into the game and I had the
ball. The team was behind me, then suddenly I fell. The team
behind me tried to stop but couldn't, they piled on top of me.
When I up, I was covered in bruises and mud with a few scratches.
I had also broken a leg."
"You fell?"
"The grass was slippery in that area," Blueberry answered,
"Well, ever since my Parents refused to let me join the
Soccer team or and other game similar to it. My Parents found
out that I was on the Soccer team and they ground me from ever
playing the game again."
"That's why you ran?"
"Yes,"
"But how did they find out?"
"They over heard someone talking about the Game that coming
up in a few days."
"Does anyone else know that your not suppose to play Soccer?"
"Just Raspberry. She loves to use my secret in order to
do things for her."
"What do you mean?"
"She forces me to help her, if I don't she'll tell Mom and
Dad about the Soccer team."
"That's awful."
"She doesn't have an real friends. She finds out about their
secret and forces them to be her friend," Blueberry looked
at Lunarstar, "If you have any secret just hope Raspberry
doesn't find out about them."
Lunarstar lowered her head, she certainly don't want Raspberry
finding out that she's the Ghost.
"Don't worry, Raspberry is perfectly happy with her two
friends."
Lunarstar put on a fact smile. she sat in the grass for a few
minutes before realizing how late it was getting, "it's
getting late. I should have been home hours ago."
Blueberry stood up, "I guess I had better be heading home."
"I suppose you won't be watching the game?"
"No, my parents will probably ground me for a few weeks
or a month. Depending on how mad they are."
Lunarstar and Blueberry left and walked along the sidewalk till
they came to the park.
"Thank's for talking with me," Blueberry smiled and
departed, walking through the Park.
Lunarstar smile and headed home. |
