Cherry and Atticus's Tales from Canterlot High

chapter 1

It was a normal day in Canterlot High School as everyone gathered together for a charity car wash with Pinkie Pie coordinating everybody, and where she did it in a little song.

"Okay, girls, if I help, do you promise not to go all mushy?" Atticus asked as he came over, though wore a jacket before he would take it off to help them wash the car.

"We promise." The girls smiled.

"Okay," Atticus said as he then took off his jacket to show a tank top. "Alright, let's do this."

Mo and Cherry soon came over to also help. Mo stopped once she saw Atticus and she turned as red as her bandanna when she could see his muscles. Patch soon came to help as well. Pinkie made up a song as everyone else washed the car, and where they did a great job at it. Cherry panted as she looked a little out of breath due to running around and actually getting exercise for a change. The driver of the car who was Applejack's brother handed Rainbow Dash money for washing his car for him.

"That was exhausting." Cherry panted.

"Get some water." Atticus soothed her.

Cherry took out her water bottle and drank from it.

"Sweet!" Rainbow Dash grinned. "More cash to add to the stash!"

"We must have made enough money now." Mo said.

"I think we need a little break," Rarity smiled. "All of this sunshine and suds are doing a number on my hair."

"Agreed." Patch said.

Everyone else agreed to taking a break. They soon came to the cooler and opened it up to drink some drinks and take a break from their car wash in the hot blazing sun.

"Sure is a hot day." Patch panted.

"Your panting doesn't help." Cherry complained.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I'm a dog, I don't have sweat glands!" Patch defended.

"Not sure whether to be grossed out or jealous." Cherry replied.

"I'm sure that car wash helped us raise enough money now." Mo said.

"I sure hope so," Cherry replied. "Atticus, is there a cool shady spot? I need to rest."

"There's one over by that tree." Atticus said.

Cherry walked off into the cool shade since being out in the sun too long wasn't good for her.

"Hey, anybody seen Twilight lately?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Last I saw her, she was with Timber with the money, counting it over." Mo said.

"Oh, here she comes now." Atticus said.

"I'm here," Sci-Twi appeared while adjusting her glasses. "I was just going over the numbers again."

"Did we raise enough money to save Camp Everfree?" Mo smiled.

"We've only raised half," Sci-Twi frowned apologetically. "Timber and I counted the money four times just to be sure."

This made everybody groan that they didn't reach their goal.

"It's all right, we can just wash more cars," Applejack smiled. "There's gotta be some we missed."

"Nope," Atticus said. "We washed every last one."

"I think we're gonna have to come up with a new plan." Sunset suggested.

"Yeah, and fast." Atticus said.

"Yeah, isn't the deadline next week?" Cherry added as she sat in the shade.

"Pinkie Pie and Cherry have already hosted a bake sale, Twilight, Mo, and Fluttershy had that Doggy Day Care, and Sunset Shimmer and I planned this car wash." Rainbow Dash listed of what could be left to do.
