Chapter 34: The Iron wall

After me and the girls wore our gym bras and short shorts, we were tasked by our coach to follow him to another location near the camp.

Me and Applejack were still racing towards there, as usual. The other upperclassmen on the other hand were teasing us nonstop since Applejack told them the truth.

It was kinda nice when the girls accepted me and Applejack for being lesbians but Fluttershy and Coloratura just stayed silent the whole time, I wonder why?

Aj: "Danm dont you have any abs like me?" The cowgirl teased while messing with my hair.

Rd: " Nope. "

Aj: "Why not? Want me to help you get fit?"

Rd: "Hell nah. People told me if I get muscular I'll never grow again."

Aj: "Nah that ain't true. Look at me, Im hot, muscular, and taller than you."

Rd: "I'll grow much bigger than you someday dumbass!"

Aj: "When? In a 100 years I guess." She laughed back after crossing her arms.

Rd: "You jerk!"

"AAAWWWW!" The girls cheered from behind us which got Coach Armor's attention.

Sa: "What's all the screaming back there?"

Rd: "N-nothing coach!"

Ts: "We were just excited for the match big brother!" Twilight nervously lied.

Sa: "Right.. Me and Flash already discussed our game plans for today, be sure to practice before we start."

R: "Uhm Coach.. One question, why are we dressed like this and not our normal jerseys?"

Sa: "You'll find out soon, Rarity."

When we finally made it to the side, our eyes immediately widened in amazement as soon we realized were about to play-

Rd: "Beach volleyball?!"

Sa: "Yup, surprise."

Ss: "Awesome! Where's our opponents?"

Sa: "They're not here yet cause were too early. For the mean time, I need to discuss today's game plans to all of you, lets go." He lastly said before placing his gym bag down the bench.

After we all gathered up in a circle, Flash handed us the volleyball club's official jacket so we cant get cold as the sun slowly rise up in the distance.

Sa: "After a few hours of research and studying, me and Flash successfully made the game plan against manehattan high who are know for their defensive block, know as the Iron wall of Equestria."

Rd: "So what? They may sound scary but we actually met them in person as soon we got here in camp, their a bunch of idiots except for that girl named Sweetie drops-"

Pp: Yeah those city assholes were a pain in the ass!"

Ts: "Pinkie language!"

Pp: "Relax Twi, Rainbow and Applejack are way younger than me but they curse all the time!"

Sa: "Hold up! You met Sweetie drops, Rainbow?"

Rd: "Yeah she seems pretty nice compared to the rest of her team, why? You sound shock coach."

Sa: "I am, did you know Sweetie drops was second in line to becoming the next Ace?"

Rd: "W-what..? Bro.. But she looks so-"

Aj: "Weak?"

Rd: "Yeah, stop interrupting me giraffe!"

Aj: "You must be thanking me you freaking shrimp!"

Sa: "Enough! Will you two ever get along?"

R: "I believe they already did darli-"

I immediately shoved Rarity with my hand before she could even finish her sentence to avoid suspicion from our coach.

Even though me and Applejack already have a connection with each other, its still fun to treat each the same insulting craps from before. Besides, she gets kinda freaky when she flirts with me or something.

Sa: "Anyways, I already arranged the players in for the match: Sunset, Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow will do their freakish quick attack, Pinkie, Rarity and Starlight will switch spots with Rainbow from time to time. Got it?"

"Yes coach!" We all agreed, except for Fluttershy who raised her hand to get the coach's attention.

Sa: "Yes Fluttershy?"

Fs: "Uhm.. Not be rude by why am I not in game?"

Sa: "I've been watching you play kid, and its quite obvious that you only toss the ball to Rainbow and nobody else."

Fs: "B-but I-"

Sa: "Its already settled Fluttershy, you can be Pinkie's switcher whenever she gets tired, okay?"

Fs: "I.. I came here to play with Rainbow, but I guess Im fine with that.. " She replied in a weak voice, stuttering in some parts.

Sa: "It will be fine kid, we just need you to consider to give the ball to other players okay? Volleyball is a te-"

Fs: "Is a Team sport I know.."

Sa: "Great, back at the game plan!"

As Coach Armor continued to discuss our game plans, I cant help but noticed the way Fluttershy looks at Applejack. Yeah I know they're both setters but no need to be jealous.. I need to talk to her.

Sa: "Since Manehattan high team is the second is 2nd on rank in the whole volleyball girls' prefecture, this practice match might be hard for all of you."

"Our strategy plan is using that Freak duo attack with Rainbow and Applejack when they least except it. Of course we had to use bait like Rarity and Sunset but they're intelligence are even higher then these two dummies." He explained the last part while pointing at me and Aj.

Rd: "Wait.. Your calling me a dummy coach? I can tell you that my IQ is way higher than this 15 foot giraffe."

Aj: "Says the girl who cant even figure out how to open a goddamn door!"

Rd: "That was one time jackass! It didnt have any pull or push sign!"

Aj: "Its called common sense shrimpy." She teased back, sticking out her tongue after.

Rd: "Oh would you shut up?"

Aj: "Nah Its fun to tease y-" the cowgirl was cut off when we both noticed that Coach Armor was giving us a freaky look, making us stand up straight and pretend nothing happened.

Sa: "As I was saying, Manehattan is a bigger threat than Crystal Prep but Cloudsdale is the biggest threat of them all, got it?"

"Yes Coach!"

Sa: "Great, Give me 5 laps around the beach, now."

Ss: "But coach were still sleepy can we-"

Sa: "NOW."

Ss: "Right away master." Sunset nervously agreed before gathering us to form a straight line to the start the raise.

Sunset then decided to make us pairs, first on the running line was Rarity and Pinkie pie while the others wait behind them to wait for their turn.

Ss: "Ready." The captain started, making Rarity and Pinkie ready there running stance. "Go!" She continued.

As the two girls races ahead, it was Twilight and Starlight turn so they stepped into the line and waited for Sunset's cue.

This seems to be a fun exercise for the girls to make them feel energized but for me and Applejack? This is like another war. When it finally our turn, we both waited for Sunset's cue.

Ss: "Ready." She yelled, making us do our running stance. " go!"

As soon Sunset yelled go, I immediately ran with all my speed as Applejack did the same. It was a neck to neck raise but it seems like she wasn't giving up so easily.

Aj: "Danm it you're too small to be this fast!"

Rd: "And you're too tall to be this fast idiot!"

Aj: "Forget this, HA!" She yelled victoriously as she passed Rarity and Pinkie pie.

R: "Woah easy Darling!"

Rd: "Applejack!" I yelled back after increasing the speed to the maximum, making Applejack gasp in slight nervousness.

Pp: "I bet those two are fighting again."

R: "Agreed, what a lovely couple."

Not long after, Applejack already saw Flash on the finish line, causing her to do her scary grin, knowing that she will win the race.

Rd: "Hey hot stuff why so slow?" I asked, raising an eyebrow while running beside her.

Aj: "Wait how the f*ck did ya catch  up like that?"

Rd: "Everything you can do, I can do better. Including running and beating your ass, see ya." I lastly laughed before taking a big leap to the finish line.

Applejack on the other hand wasn't able to control her momentum which leads her to tumble into the cold sea shore which was absolutely hilarious.

F: "And there goes the cowgirl! Nice landing Aj!" Flash laughed after handing me my water bottle.

Rd: "You okay Apples?" I joined in with a loud laugh.

But as soon Applejack stood up, she immediately faced me with her scary looking grin from before, causing shivers go down my spine.

Aj: "Your dead skittles hair.."

Rd: "Well I think that's my cue to run, crap!" I nervously chuckled before running for my life before that maniac lays a finger on me.
-
After a few hours passed, the sun has fully lit up the sky and the other tall yet scary tell started to show up. Even though me and my team were still exhausted from all that exercise.

Since it was about time to start the 3 set game, all of us formed a straight line according to our jersey's numbers even though we weren't wearing them at the time.

It scares me every time that my opponents are bigger than me but I know my team can survive and get through their blocks.. I just wish they dont look scary all the time.

"This match will have a 3 sets, each consisting 25 points and a technical time out to the team who reaches 8 points first, got it?" The other team's coach explained.

"Yes sir!" All of us agreed, including the Manehattan idiots.

Sa: "Great, We will now determine which side wil serve first." Shining Armor added, gathering the two team's leaders afterwards.

Seeing Sunset and the other team face off was absolutely terrifying! I mean the height difference between them was so far.. The only tall players in our team was Applejack, Rarity and Twilight. This will be hard..

Luckily we got to serve first, so both captains shaked hands before running back to their teams. Since Sunset was first in the formation, she gets to serve the ball.

She ran to the back after Flash handed her the ball. As soon the referee blew his whistle, she threw the ball upwards into the air, jumping and slamming it with such strong force.

It amazes me every time, but what shocked me the most when their libero actually received it perfectly. But that was such a strong serve, how the hell did she get that?!

The ball then flew back upwards, falling into the hands of another player.

"Chance ball!" She yelled before reaching out her hands to receive it.

"Right, right!" Sweetie drops yelled back as she ran outside the court's line.

As soon the ball landed to their setter's fingertips, she immediately tossed it to the right, but Twilight and Rarity were baited by another spiker, which leaves me to block this attack all by myself.

Rd: "Come on.. Twilight already told me how to block an attack, I can do this." I thought to myself while watching Sweetie drops jump into the air.

That jump, her angle, her focused.. She was perfect to become the next Ace. But I've seen better.

But after she successfully spiked the ball with her right hand, my timing was off when I jumped to block it. Instead of stopping their attack, it went through the middle of my hands, making it fall directly to our base, scoring them a point.

Rd: "Danm.. Im so sorry!"

Ss: "Dont mind, dont mind! We'll get the next one!"

Because Manehattan high won the set, a player ran to the back for her to serve the ball.

After she served it, Pinkie pie immediately dived into the sand just to save the ball from dropping beside me.

Rd: "Sorry Pinkie!"

Pp: "Dont mind cover!" She yelled back, getting back to her feet.

When I saw the ball falling into Aj's hands, my instincts suddenly kicks in as it controlled my whole body, making me jump to the right afterwards.

I then saw the ball coming towards my line, I can know see a clear view from the top of the net, or I like to call the view from the summit.

Suddenly..

My attacked was stopped when 6 hands blocked my way, causing the ball to bounce back to our base.

What just happened..? It happened so fast..

Did my attacked just got stopped?

"Before my eyes, it blocks my path. A high, high wall. What sort of scene will I see on the other side? What will I able to see there? "The view from the top" A scenery I will never be able to see on my own. But if Im not alone.. I might be able to see it.."

I need you.. Applejack..
