My Little Dashie: Fifth Is A Gift.

CHAPTER 8: Thunder Hooves.

it has been a few days since dashie started taking those good dream pills. and for the most part, they seem to be working. except that she gets very drowsy at noon but i guess that's just a side effect.today a knock on the door woke both me and dashie we both walked down the stairs and i opened the door. standing there was a pony i have never seen before. he had a short,black,messy mane and tail with red streaks through them.,white feathers, light green eyes. and his cutie mark was a cloud with a lightning bolt,much like Dashie's cutie mark. He also had three circular stud earrings up the length of his right ear. The bottom was was red and the other two were black. he said his name was Thunder Hooves

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thunder Hooves is my OC. i created,as well as named him, and thought that he should get a chance to be in this story.

he said he was lost and he was looking for sugar cube corners. i offered to walk him there but dashie jumped in and walked him instead. i chuckled as i shut the door. i have never met him but somehow, he was still kind of familiar. then it struck me. i saw him on a fan site back before dashie came into my life. "but that means..." i said out loud. "oh shit." that means that either there was another human in Equestria or,more likely, bronies get reincarnated as their own representation of themselves as a pony. "but then why didn't I get reincarnated..." i pondered this over. "maybe it's because i came here and declined Celestia's offer to turn me into a pony." i stuck with that answer, not wanting to think about it anymore.

'it's probably just a coincidence." i thought to myself.i didn't think he was here to cause any harm to any pony. he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

Thunder Hooves quickly became good friends with Dashie. He would visit almost every day. Forest doesn't seem to like him. He thinks that Thunder Hooves is trying to take Dashie away from him. But I reassured him that he's just a friend and that he's a nice guy. Forest seemed to calm down but i could still tell that he doesn't like him. Every time Thunder Hooves visit's, Forest just eyes him down as he ascends the stairs towards Dashie's room. When he left today he pulled me aside. "What's up with that pony that sits on the couch and stares at me?" i chuckled a little. "That's Forest, he's Dashie's husband. He seems to think that you are trying to take her away from him." "Oh, good, I thought he was planning my second death or something." we both share a laugh. "No, he's genuinely a nice guy when you get to know him, He's just a little bit protective." "One more question," I raised my eyebrows in response. "are you like her uncle or something?" I felt kind of offended at this question but then I remembered that he"s still new here so I let it slide. "no i'm her father." "oh." a silence fell for a few moments. It was Thunder Hooves who finally broke the silence. "well.. I"m going to go home now." "OK" I say as i wave towards him as he takes off towards his house.

Well, It's been about a year and a half since i wrote in this journal. This lat year was pretty normal, except for one thing. Thunder Hooves performed a Sonic Rainboom. We were in the park. Dashie and Thunder Hooves were flying around, doing some tricks. When they decided to have a race. "GO!" I yelled from the ground. and they were off. The strong wind from their speed almost threw me across the park. For the first portion of the race Dashie was winning but not by much. Until Thunder Hooves got this sudden burst of energy and took off like a rocket. All I heard was a very familiar explosion sound. It was a Sonic Rainboom. Except this one was different. Instead of a rainbow, it was all black. After the race, we all crowded around and congratulated him. When we got back home, It was time to celebrate. We kept it to a small amount of 5. Me,Dashie,Forest,Thunder Hooves and Pinkie. I told her that she didn't need to show up but it's not really a party without her. Soon after it started I saw Forest pull Thunder hooves aside. "listen, If you think that you can just show up and take Rainbow Dash away, then you have another thing coming." I saw Thunder Hooves laugh at his threat. "look, Forest was it? I'm just a friend. I understand why you're worried, A random pony shows up and starts hanging out with Dashie. But I assure you, I wouldn't do that to you or her." I think that he was satisfied with this answer because he trotted off. But I could tell that he still had his eye on him as he kept looking for him. He didn't want to let him out of his line of sight.

Well another year that was uneventful. I woke up this morning to the sound of yelling and what sounded like fighting. I got up, got dressed and walked downstairs. At first i saw Forest, with his back towards me, then i saw Dashie. She seemed to be crying. I finish my descent down the stairs and stand between them. "OK, what's going on here?" I asked, calmly. "He thinks that Thunder Hooves is more important to me than he is." I can hear Forest from behind. "THAT'S BECAUSE HE IS!"  he was clearly very angry. I turn around to face him and let the anger take over in my voice. "You do not  yell at her like that! I think its time for you to leave. "OK, but i'm never coming back." He stormed off in anger. when he was gone, I heard dashie behind me. "good ridence." i turn around to hug her. "it's OK. I'm here." just then Thunder Hooves showed up and noticed that Dashie was crying. He ran over. "Are you OK? What happened?" i could hear the concern in his voice. "Me and Forest got into an argument and he left." "It was about me, wasn't it?" Dashie's face filled with an emotion that I cant even describe. "well... yeah. how did you know?" Thunder Hooves sighed. "I knew that he never liked our friendship. He thought i was trying to split you too apart." "what?!" "yeah, I could tell he never trusted me. but you know I would never do that to you right?" "yeah, I know." and with that, they met for a hug. Thunder Hooves stayed over that night. probably just to make sure that Dashie was OK. I tried to stay up to make sure she was OK but Thunder Hooves insisted that I went to bed. "It's OK, I can handle this." I didn't question it as I was exhausted . so i plopped myself down onto the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.
