The Record Friction Chronicles:A new beginning

Chapter 10

Record and Zee

Record woke up later that night in a daze. He rubbed his eyes with his hooves and slowly looked around the room. The walls and were just like the rest of the house, a normal stone brick and hard oak wood flooring. Both Zee and Cyber shared a room with Record. A row of beds laid against the wall in uniform. Record had the bed in the middle while Cyber had the bed to his right, and Zee and the bed to his left.
Record got up from the bed and decided to take a walk outside. He looked over to Zee's bed with a smile, only to find she wasn't in the bed at all. Record raised an eyebrow and was a little concerned. He walked downstairs hoping to bump into her, but there was no sign of her. Record became worried about Zee now. With one last effort he stepped outside hoping to find her.
He looked from side to side on the porch and saw her sitting on the edge looking up at the night sky. Record sighed in relief and walked up to her.

"Oh hey Record." Said Zee. "Wanna join me?" She patted the spot next to her on porch with her hoof. Record blushed a light pink and smiled.

"S-sure, Zee." He stuttered as he laid beside her and looked up into the night sky with half a grin.

"It's beautiful isn't it, the night sky?" Asked Zee. "You see so much more at night than during the day, and the majority of ponies sleep through it." Record smiled and stared at the moon.
Zee was right the dark blue sky mixed with the small dots of stars, did look amazing. However one star, beside the moon, was shining brighter than all the others. Record knew what it was and he smiled again.

"Yeah it is. It's very beautiful. Hey do you see that bright star? To the left of the moon." He said pointing it out for Zee.

"Oh yeah! Is that another planet or sun?" She asked with a smile. Record chuckled and looked at her.

"Nope, it's actually another galaxy." A smirk grew on Record's face as he said that.

"What!?" Zee said astounded. Her jaw dropped and she had a huge smile on her face.

"Yep, I learned it in astronomy back in college. Besides technology and music it was the only class I paid attention in. Anyway me are currently in the Milky Way galaxy. That galaxy you see there is called Andromeda." He said happily.

"Andromeda? Wow." She said with a smile. Record blushed and glanced off when got an idea. When he was searching for Zee he saw that one room had a miniature telescope. He smiled and stood up.

"Wait right here, Zee. I'll be right back." He quietly went back inside and came back out with a telescope, about the size of a full grown colt. "Here now we should be able to see Andromeda a lot better." Zee smiled and made a noise that sounded like a stuffed animal receiving a big bear hug.
Record set up the telescope and adjusted the angles and set the focus to where the telescope was perfectly clear. He then moved the telescope until Andromeda was in view. Record shuddered in amazement when he saw the other galaxy.
The purple stardust orbiting the galactic core, the visual sight of multiple colored planets, and the beautiful sight of other stars over millions of miles away made Record smile. Record stepped out of the way to let Zee look into the telescope. When Zee looked into it her face slowly changed from a nervous grin to an amazed smile.

"Wow...its so beautiful." Record hesitated on what he wanted to say. He knew he may never get another chance but yet he would also be putting his friendship, with Zee, on the line. He quietly cleared his throat and spoke.

"Just like you." He said blushing nervously. Zee slowly took her eye of of the telescope. Her whole face had slowly went from blue to purple. She was blushing as well. Record slowly looked away as he spoke again. "Zee, I've had a crush on you since I first saw you. Zee, I think that everything about you is amazing. Your mane, your coat, but most of all your personality. Sleepy Zee...I...I...I love you!" He said as he released all of his emotions into what he just said. Zee's eyes glisted in the moonlight and she smiled.

"Aww, Record." She said giving him a big hug. "Record, you remember the day we met right?"

"Yeah I heard a scream for help and I came to help you against Butcher."

"Yeah when I saw you...I felt like it was the end. Until I saw you fight and help me. Record, you saved me. Then after we got to know each other I started developing feelings for you. Record, I love you too." She said with a smile. Record's heart started beating fast and he blushes a deep crimson.

"Y-you do?" Asked Record with a stutter. Zee nodded with a smile. Record started shaking nervously. He'didn't know what to do, he had never been in this position before. Record knew this was the moment. He stood up straight and took a deep breath in and let it back out. "Zee, w-will you go out with me?" He asked.

"Yes!" She said quickly. "I will go out with you, Record." She blushed as those words left to left her mouth. Record smiled widely and looked into her eyes. Zee looked back into Record's. This was Record's first mare friend, and he was going to make sure she was the last.

"Finally...I met somepony who actually cares about me. I...I have to tell her how I feel." Record said to himself. Record looked down and slowly took one of Zee's hooves.

"Record?" She said nervously.

"Sleepy...you are my heart and soul. I will give my life for you. I promise that no matter what happens I will always love you." He said truly meaning every word. Zee smiled back and hugged him. Record hugged her as well in a warm, loving, embrace. They both seperated, looking into each others eyes again.
Zee's mouth slowly opened as she watched Record's fire red eyes glow in the night. Record did the same and watched Zee's amazing blue eyes stick out from the darkness. They both began to lean into each other. They both closed their eyes as they got closer. They could feel each others breath on their lips. Suddenly the door opened. Cyber walked out and stared at both of them who and returned into a natural position.

"What are you two doing out here?" Asked Cyber. Zee quickly responded.

"Record couldn't sleep so uh we decided to go for a walk to tire her out. We uh just got back." She said.

"Then why is Nightstory's telescope out here?" Said Cyber still skeptical.

"I wanted to show her something about the moon." Record said lying.

"But you just said you two went for a walk."

"We did but we watched the moon before we went walking."

"Then why did I see you two her so close to one another?" Record and Zee looked at each other worried. They didn't want Cyber to know they were dating, at least not yet.

"We were simply giving each other a friendly hug." Said Zee.

"Y-yeah a simple friendly hug." Record added. Cyber still had the look of skepticism in his eyes. He shrugged it off and nodded.

"Alright, but let's go back to bed its like 2 in the morning." Said Cyber.

"Sure." Said Record grabbing the telescope. Cyber went back upstairs to go to bed. Record held the door open for Zee. Zee walked into the house and Record followed behind. He set the telescope back where he found it and walked upstairs beside Zee.
They both entered the bedroom to see that Cyber was already fast asleep. Both Record and Zee smiled and they laid down in their beds. Just as Record was about to fall asleep he heard Zee walk over to his bed.

"Good night, Record." She said kissing his cheek. Record blushed and spoke quietly to only where Zee could hear him.

"Good night, Zee." He quickly sat up and kissed her on the lips before she had a chance to turn around. Record broke the kiss slowly and smiled. Zee was began to blush so red that she was glowing in the darkness. They both spoke at the same time before going to sleep for the rest of the night. Their last words made each other blush. Those last words for the night came from their heart. They spoke softly.

"I love you."
