My Little Dashie: Fifth Is A Gift.

It has been a week since Forest stormed out of the house and I haven't heard from him or even seen him around town. Thunder Hooves stayed at our house for the whole week.

I don't think he got any sleep at all. I am beginning to see the dark bags under his eyes and he's yawning constantly.I keep telling him to at least take a nap but he says he's fine. "Bryan, I'm fine, I don't need any sleep." I have come to find out that he can be rather stubborn at times. "Thunder, I can clearly see dark bags under your eyes.

and you are constantly yawning." he yawned. "no I'm not, I'm fine." i gave up on trying to convincing him because he clearly wasn't going to listen to me. I woke up this morning and saw him asleep on the carpet.

I sighed and shook my head with a smile on my face. I went up stairs and to the linens closet to grab him a blanket. with the blanket in hand, I walked back down the stairs and threw it over him. it was still early so I sat back down on the couch and fell back asleep.

I woke up a few hours later to the sound of Dashie coming down the stairs. Thunder Hooves was awake as well. I saw Dashie hug Thunder Hooves. "what is she hugging him for?" I asked myself. i pretended to be asleep but I left one of my eyes open so I can just barely see them. Then the completely unexpected happened.

She kissed him. "what the hell?" I thought to myself. Just then, Dashie saw that I was awake. her face was instantaneously  filled with worry. "oh umm... hey pops. what's uh... what's up?" Thunder Hooves turned around. I now had both my eyes open. "oh hey Bryan "  Knowing that my cover was blown, I sat up.

"hey." I rubbed my eyes, pretending that i just woke up now. "how much of that did you see pops?" She asked. I cocked my head slightly to the right and wore a false expression of confusion in my voice and on my face. "see what?" They both believed my lie. "oh nothing." "umm OK." I don't know how long this has been going on. I just hope that it's recent. like, a few days recent.

But in my heart, I knew it has been going on for a while. for the next week I caught them hugging and kissing alot but I just always pretended that I never saw it. I know that something is going on between them. I just don't know what that is exactly.

OK, it's been almost a month. I had to confront Dashie about this. so, I sent Thunder Hooves to go to town and do some errands. "that should buy me a few hours to talk to Dashie." I thought to myself. I walked up the stairs and knocked on her door. "Dashie, I need to talk to you." there was a silence that lasted a few moments.

"OK, pops, Come in." I opened the door and sat down beside her on her bed. "How long have you and Thunder Hooves been... You know?" her ears flopped down as she looked at her hooves. "A...About a month." I didn't say anything. Mainly because I was so shocked. that was alot longer that i would have expected. "why?"

i simply asked. she looked up to me and had an embarresed expresion on her face. "because, he was there for me. He's funny and kind, and fast. He can actually keep up with me. He's first rate."

this sort of made sense. Dashie won't settle for anything less than the best. I stood up, not saying a word, and walked out. Dashie followed. A few hours later Thunder Hooves showed up.

Dashie jumped off the recliner and kissed him. he saw that i was looking right at them. he pushed her away. "What are you doing?" he asked.He's not a very good actor. "Thunder Hooves, I know." that's all I had to say for after that he looked surprised. "how long?" "about a month." he nodded.and pulled Dashie towards him and kissed her, Knowing that I was fine with it.

It's has been a week since I told Thunder Hooves that I knew what was happening between him and Dashie. I'm ok with it. I actually like Thunder Hooves, as I never did really like Forest.

I was much less hesatant to call him my son than I was with Forest. He seems happy. Then again, He always seems happy. Today Me,Dashie, and Thunder Hooves went into town for no real reason. We just walked,well, I walked as they flew overhead.  It was a beautiful day out. The pegisi ponies out did themselves this time.

We walked around town for a few hours before it started to get dark. "We should head home." They both nodded in confirmation and we headed towards home. When we got home the door was locked so I pulled out my keys and unlocked it. All the lights were off. I stumbled around for a minute or two, trying to find the lightswitch. When I found it, I turned it on and it shit some light into the room. The sudden bright flash of light nearly blinded us.
