My Little Dashie: Fifth Is A Gift.

its been a few days since the wedding and forest keeps calling me his dad. i really don't care anymore. i'm still not going to call him my son. no. he has to earn that privilege. I asked him why he calls me dad and he just simply said that he doesn't remember his parents and he has no pony to take care of him.

i sympathize with him. i know what he's going through. my parents died when i was 14 and i had to live by myself for 3 years until i found dashie.

later today i might humor him and call him... son.but he's still far off from that being a full time thing.

i woke up this morning and heard dashie talking to forest down stairs. i roll over in my bed to look at the clock. 8 am. i get up and walk over to the window. i open the blinds, nearly blinding myself in the process. its nice out.

i can hear the birds singing and the ponies talking. i can see pinkie pie outside. i wave to her. "hi pinkie!" i shout so she can hear me. she looks left,then right. then up at me. "oh hi Bryan!" she says with a big smile on her face.

waving at me. i turn around and see pinky. "holy shi..."she scared me so bad that my heart almost stopped. i turn back around and look out the window.she wasn't there. i turn back around with a confused look on my face. she still had a huge smile on her face. "how did you do that?" i say, pointing at her. "do what?" she says, with a smile still on her face. "get into my..."

i stopped,remembering that she's basically excused from the laws of not only logic, but physics. i shake my head. "n-never mind." "okey dokey lokey." she says.there was an awkward silence for a few seconds. "so... what are you doing today?" i ask, still confused.

"oh nothing, i might go hang out with applejack at the orchard." i nod, not entirely paying attention. there was yet another awkward silence took place. "well i need to get dressed." i say. i was wearing some pajamas that rarity had made me. "OK." she said but she just stood there. "you can wait in the living room for me."

she takes the hint and leaves my room,closing the door of course. i sigh and chuckle at how weird she can be at times.

after i got dressed i left my room and went down the stairs. i didn't see pinkie. i look at dashie and forest. "where did pinky go?" dashie looks at me. "i don't know, she said something about going to hang out with AppleJack."

we both chuckled at her weirdness. "so, do you two have any plans today?" i said,motioning towards dashie and forest with my hand. they look at each other. "not really." they both say in perfect unison. i smile. "good, because i'm going to take you up on our deal." i say looking at dashie. she looks nervous, as if she had hoped that i would forget our deal, i would never forget a deal like this. "aw crap." she said, looking at the ground. forest looked confused. "what deal?" "me and dashie made a deal on your wedding night. i dance with her but she has to get a full spa treatment with me." forest chuckles, probably remembering how silly me and dashie looked when we were dancing. dashie sighs, accepting her defeat.

"fine, let's get this over with." i smile, and get the sudden urge to jump up and down clapping my hands. i resisted

the urge. the entire way there dashie tried to talk me out of it but i stood my ground. not wanting to miss this opportunity. when we got there they prepared a hot bath. like last time, she didn't complain.

then there was the face mask and,much to my surprise, she didn't struggle. i let a tear of joy roll down my face. she loves me so much that she would do something for me that she would never do for any other pony. get a spa treatment. then, it was time for the hoofacure.

she struggled a bit, but she didn't freak out as much as i had expected her to. when it was all over she rushed out of the spa center. relieved that it was finally over. i couldn't help but hug her. "pops?" "yeah?""why are you hugging me?" she asked. "because, you love me so much that you would actually get a full blown spa treatment. i hear her chuckle. "only for you pops." we walked back home. when we got there, forest was still on the recliner. "so, how was the spa?" he says. i can tell that he was holding back a laugh. i look at Dashie with a huge grin on my face.

i look back at forest. "it was great." "yeah... great." dashie says with a lot of sarcasm in her voice. i chuckle as dashie flew back over to the couch and plops back down beside forest. later that day me and dashie went to twilight's library to grab the newest daring do book: Daring Do And the Quest for the Golden Sword. when we knocked on the door, spike answered. "hey Bryan, hey rainbow. what's up?" "hey spike." i said.

"we were wondering if you had the new daring do book?" he stood there,thinking for a bit. "umm yeah i think we do." he motioned for us to follow him inside. he climbed up the ladder and pulled it out. "daring do and the quest for the golden sword?" he asks. "yup, that's the one." he climbs down and hands it to us. "thanks spike." i say as we walk towards the door. "tell twilight we said hi." i say when we reach the door. "OK i will." he says, waving at us as we left the library.

it was pretty late out, around 1am. when we got home,Forest was asleep on the couch. me and Dashie snuck upstairs,not wanting to wake him. we wen't to our separate rooms for the night. the next morning i woke up with Dashie asleep at my side. i don't remember her coming into my room. i shrug it off and get dressed and head downstairs. forest greets me with his usual "hi dad." i just nod at him and sit down beside him not saying a word.

after about 20 minutes he gets up to go to the kitchen to get some breakfast. a few minutes later he comes back with two bowls of cereal. And hands me one.

"thanks." i say. "no problem." he says,smiling at me. i think he has earned it. "son?" when i say this he drops his bowl on the floor and turns to me. "what did you just call me?" he asks. i know he heard the first time, but i thought i would humor him again. "i called you son." his face instantly forms the biggest smile i think i have ever seen.

"wow..um.." he says, not sure of what to say. " i think you have earned the right to be called my son." his face is still gleaming with happiness. he stills stumbles over his words. "wow..umm.. thanks.. dad." as soon as he said the last word his smile got even bigger. i look at the mess he had made when he dropped the bowl of cereal. i place my bowl on the coffee table and stand up. "here, let me help you clean this up." he nods and goes to grab the broom. i lean down to pick up the bowl. he comes back with the broom and cleans it up. "thanks dad." he says as he walks back to the kitchen and puts the broom away.

"so when did you guys get home?" he says as he sits back down on the couch. "around 1 am. we saw you asleep on the couch so we snuck upstairs." "oh. thanks." he says as he grabs the tv remote and turns it on to some show i have never seen. "what show is this?" i ask. "I think it's called star trek." that name rings a bell.

i remember some of my friends recommending it to me but i never got around to watching it. just then dashie came down the stairs. I could tell she was still half asleep. "dashie?" i ask. "yeah pops?" "when did you come into my room last night? i woke up and you were sleeping beside me." "oh yeah about that. i couldn't fall asleep so i came into your room."

I knew she was lying. there was a deeper meaning to her coming into my room but i shrug it off. i didn't care that she slept with me. "oh OK." i said. she makes her way down the stairs and sits down beside forest. "what show is this?" "it's called star trek." forest says. "oh, i have never heard of it."

nothing too special happened today except that i started calling forest my son full time but that's about it.
