I close the book with my magic and wonder if anyone is going to come into the library, as I look at the carved out walls with books in them, making makeshift bookcases. There wasn't much to do other than talk to my pet dragon, Spice, I raised her from an egg when I was in my magical entrance exam. She acted as my servant and friend, almost like a sister, except of a different species, and that you raised from birth, and wasn't of any blood relation.
I can hear a distant scream from behind, I turn around and look out the window across the room, I see a dot on the horizon getting closer and closer, it was a light cyan and as it got a few hundred meters from the window I could tell it was a pegasus coming towards my window. I prepared my magic to fix any damage it might cause, I could tell that was the thing scream, it seemed out of control, I put my magic below the window to catch any glass that would fall when it eventually crashed through the window.
The cyan pegasus bursts though the window, nearly knocking it off of it's hinges, glass and ripped curtain fly everywhere, going far out of the range of my magic platform. Now I can see him, a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane, he slowed down from the crash but is still coming at me. He crashes into me and knocks me back into the wall, I can feel him sitting on my lap, as I lay there, eyes closed with my back against the wall “Oh no, I'm so sorry are you okay man? I totally went too fast and broke your window” I hear him say, in a deep, but crackly voice.
I open my eyes, still dizzy and see his eyes, rose red eyes and a cute, but manly face. “Y-yeah I'm okay, who are you?” I say, my eyes glued to his face, I see him staring at me as well, and he looks down and notices he's sitting on my lap and jumps up, using his wings to hover above me, his face blushes red instantly as he announces in an arrogant, but joking tone “I'm Rainbow Dash, the best flier in all of Equestria, But I'm sure you could already tell that, at the speed I came through your window at.” “And I suppose you crashing into my window was your amazing aim right?” I say, barely holding back giggles.
He starts staring at me, again and It looks like he missed everything I said “O-oh It was just an ac- a fl- er a” He says, not being able to muster any words “An accident?” I respond playfully “Hey you know, you're pretty hand-” he says, getting cut off by another voice “Dash! Dashie! Daaaaash! Where did you land?” It breaks his concentration on me and he turns around “In the tree Pinkie!” then before I could ask who Pinkie was I see a pink pony hop perfectly through the broken window and say “Oh theeeere you are Dashie! Who's this?” “Oh, I never asked him his name, what is your name?” He asks, turning away from the pink pony.
“Twilight Sparkle” I say to him “Oh that's a really uh.. cool name..” he says, blushing again. “Looks like Dashie is in looove” when the pink pony says that we both blush heavily “N-no I'm not gay Pinkie, you know that” he says defensively, his voice cracking a lot more than usual “Oh Dash, I was just kidding you're making it seem like you are in love with him” He says, laughing at every pause. I begin to wonder if this pony is putting on an act or if he's just this happy all the time, he radiated happiness “Oh, just shut up Pinkie, anyways. So Twilight do you like, wanna hang out or something?” he asked me, trying to act like what happened earlier didn't happen.
“Yeah, I guess I can, this place isn't really that busy...” I say, as I finally end up getting off the floor
and looking eye to eye with Dash, Pinkie backed out, giggling silently as we looked at each other in silence “So yeah, uh, what do you wanna do?” I said. “Well, I mean... well, what do you do?” He asked, rubbing the back of his head and looking away “Well, I just kind of... read” “Well, that's cool I guess, I just kind of fly I guess” He says “Wanna come watch I guess if you want, but if not we can do what you want” he says, his voice cracking almost every other word now “Aha, that's okay with me” I respond, giggling at his voice “Alright, follow me” he says with a new found (Although still pretty pathetic amount of) confidence.
About twenty minutes of walking in utter silence we arrive at what he calls his “Fly-Fly Spot” the name made me not want to come, but I was interested in him enough to follow him, “Alright, now watch my moves I've made” he says taking off at high speeds and doing flips and loops.
After a few minutes of watching him show off his moves I hear something behind me, It sounds like a soft weep, after I get a shiver I make sure Rainbow is still doing his tricks and scoot back to see what that noise is. As I get through the brush I see a white stallion with a purple mane nearly in tears on top of what looked like a test “Uhm.. Hi” I say, trying to get his attention “Oh, hi” he says, sniffling and looking over to me, which is when I notice how cute he is, not handsome, just someone you would want to cuddle up with “Why are you so sad? Does it have to do with that test?”
“Y-yeah, I'm stuck on this question and if I don't finish it then I'll fail and if I fail then my parents will hate me and if my parents hate me then I'll have to leave forever and if I leave forever then I will live in a ditch and that is the worst-possible-thing” he said, nearly breaking into tears “Okay, okay calm down, what is it? I read all day so maybe I can help” I say, trying to calm him. “Well, it's “When did World War II start and end?” he said, sniffling again “Oh... That's easy, it started after World War I” I reply “Oh, well then when did it end?” “After it started!” I say quickly “Ohh.... I totally forgot, thanks Twilig- I mean, what's your name?”
“Uh... do I know you?” “Lucky guess...?” he responded blushing and backing off. “Twilight?” I hear Rainbow call from above, then I see him dart down to where I was “Why are you talking to this guy, his name's Rarity, he's a stalker” when he says that Rarity covers his face in his arms. “Dash, I was just helping him with his test, what did he do wrong?” I say, defending the white pony, Rarity's face lightens up when I say it, and Dash looks awe-struck “Well I, just don't want him to perv on you” Dash's words obviously hurt the pony.
“Well... could you blame me, he's really sweet and kind, and handsome” The white pony says, Dash nearly faints, his entire face flushes as he tries to muster words I say “What? I'm sweet and kind and...” my voice goes a bit quite “handsome?” I ask “Well, you helped me on my test, and.. it's true...” I blush and Dash finally thought of something to say “Just don't look at him while he sleeps or anythi-” Dash said, interrupted by Rarity saying “Well don't you think he's handsome?” Rarity asks, I look at Dash, his face turning bright red under the spotlight “Well, I, uh, Twilight let's go grab a bite to eat okay?” He says trying to escape the question.
We are in the middle of eating our meal when I speak up and ask “Well Dash, what do you think?” I say, I intended to be smug about it but end up choking on the last word. “The food is great” He responds, gulping down some purple drink “No, do you think that I'm.. handsome?” I say, trying to take back the words right after they left my mouth, and getting mad at myself for asking Stupid, stupid, stupid, now he's going to think you're some weirdo. “Yes.” He says quickly, looking down quickly “What?” I say, surprised “I think you're handsome....” he says.
“Do you really think that” I ask excitedly “I mean, If I you know, rolled that way I would think so” he says looking off to the right blushing. I chuckle to myself I wonder if he actually likes me, probably not, just trying to be nice. “Okay, I understand, and you don't roll that way, you roll in the whole other direction I guess” I ask jokingly “Y-yeah, you know what they say, a rolling stone gather's no mos- wait, no it was... I speak German to my horse,Spanish to god, and Ita- No wait it's not that, ugh I already forgot what I was trying to say”
I almost burst out laughing at him trying to use famous quotes to describe his sexual orientation. I look at him and say “Well, I gotta head home, hang out some more tomorrow?” I tell him “Yeah, that works out fine Twilight” he says.
I get back to my library and home, and open the door, and walk into my house, my eyes bagging, as the diner me and Dash ate at was miles away and I walked back I should have asked him to fly me home, but I think I would've melted if he did. I make my way upstairs out of pure habit and slump onto the bed and fall asleep almost instantly.
I fly over Ponyville, trying to spot his library, I see it and dive down and stop just above it. I hope Twilight doesn't see me. I slowly hover around all the windows, trying to find the one that might have Twilight sleeping in it, I eventually spot it and fly over to it, I see him asleep and gently tap open the window, make my way in and close it behind me, my blue wing almost getting caught in it.
I tip-toe over to his bed, I lift the blanket up off of him and slip in, putting my back against his stomach. This is the stupidest thing I've ever done... But it's worth it.
I open my eyes in the middle of the night and feel something in my bed, shocked I look down and see the tell-tale rainbow mane of Dash, I blush wildly, but take advantage of the moment and put my arm around him and pull him in closer. Thank you Celestia.
As it turns day I see Dash wake up, and look at me “How long where you there!” He says flying out of bed, Twilight then wakes up, sees me and scoots backwards off the bad “See! I told you Rarity was a stalker!” Rainbow Dash says to Twilight “Well.. you're the one who went sneaking into his room and into his bed” I replied calmly, Dash went wordless, just stuttering “bu-bu-but” I laughed “I'll leave you two alone....” I said as I made my way out of their house.
Looking at Dash, still dumbfounded at what happened with Rarity, I grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around “I love you” and kissed him on the lips, his eyes widened with surprise but accepted it and returned it.
