The Multiverse Brawl
Chapter 6: Love Problems
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke with a gasp. I had a dream that had to do with my friends and I being cows, a party with Griffons, and being eaten by them. Only I woke up on the part where I was bitten in the leg by a flying goomba instead of a Griffon. If I win the games, I really hope I don't have any nightmares like that.
I'm pretty sure if you win you'll have nightmares about your supposed-to-be somepony special.
Shut up conscience.
Why? Does me talking about Stardust bother you?
...
No answer? So you do...
YES I LIKE HIM!!! Quit making this worse. You're going to make me nervous around him.
By just mentioning him? Hmm...
No conscience no!!!
Stardust Stardust Stardust Stardust Stardust Stardust!!!!
I said quit it!!!
Do you not want to be with him?
No! Yes... Dang it now you've got me all confused!
Just think about it. You, and him...
STOP TALKING!!!!
...out on a date...
QUIT!!!
...his eyes staring into yours...
OH MY CELESTIA SHUT THE BUCK UP!!!!!!!
...you staring into his...
Telling you to shut up is pointless isn't it?
...and then you both come closer to each other...
Please don't make me think of it.
...and then you...
"SHUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"GAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Something soft and fast struck my face as I heard Be's voice. "Rainbow Dash were trying to sleep! Quit sleep talking!"
I slipped the pillow from my eyes to reveal Stardust on the top bunk next to mine. All my (Consciences) fantasies rushed through my mind and then instantly into my cheeks. My mind felt numb as I stared into his eyes. I imagined the whole entire area just melting away, and Stardust and I just floating towards each other and...
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Stardust asked with his soft and soothing voice.
*SNAP!!!* I hid behind the covers and just began to sleep. I heard Stardust and Be mumbling about something. I heard a bit of giggling too, only coming from Be.
Wow, at that rate you'll never marry...
CONSCIENCE, I SWEAR TO CELESTIA!!! IN A TRUNK, OFF A CLIFF!!!!
o)O(o<
It has just been getting more and more difficult to look at Stardust lately. More and more events have just been leading up to me becoming more and more (In love.) nervous around Stardust. Whenever I look at him I just (Go into a fantasy of love.) lose myself. Whenever I don't look at him I (Want to force his lips into mine.) want to look at him more. When I'm near him I (Want to just snuggle up to him and put my face in his chest.) get butterflies in my stomach. Whenever I think about him (I wonder who will propose first.) I can't think strait.
So basically, the main problem with my nervousness is my conscience. So from now on, I am going to ignore it.
Feh... Like you can ignore me.
I can. Just you wait... I will.
At breakfast...
I looked at Stardust and smiled.
Oh look at those eyes, don't you just want to marry them?
I immediately blushed and looked away.
No ignoring your conscience Rainbow. Just tell him what you think.
No! I swear to Celestia I will find a way to ignore you!
I walked up to Stardust as he was leaving the bathroom. I was wearing earplugs. I thought maybe if I couldn't hear him, than my conscience wouldn't be able to comment on him. I couldn't hear a thing. But apparently my conscience can read lips.
Oh, Rainbow Dash, your mane looks so amazing today. It totally matches your eyes. I just want to stare at them forever. I want to get closer and closer to them until our lips touch.
Oh please Rainbow, you thought blocking your hearing would prevent me from reading his lips?
I'll find a way somehow. Even if I go blind doing it. Hmmmm... Blind...
"Hey Stardust! Oof! What is that?" I said clumsily.
"That's a lamp. Why are you acting so weird today? Why are you wearing a blindfold?" Stardust said.
"Oh, um... No reason... hehe..."
You're getting nervous!
Stop. Don't say it.
You-
No!
-want-
Quit!
-to-
No! Quit it!
"Are you ok Rainbow? You're blushing."
"I-I'm fine."
-kiss-
NO!!!
-Stardust.
"GAAAA!!!" I yelled as I ran into obstacles as I was running back to my bunk.
Hm, well so much for blindfolding yourself. What are you going to do next? Have somepony erase me from existence?
Hmm...
"Excuse me, what?" Be said with a 'What the heck?' face.
"I need you to erase my conscience. And don't tell Stardust."
"Why do you want your conscience gone?"
"It's... bothering me."
"Like how?"
"It's making me nervous..." My face felt warm, but I wasn't blushing.
"Nervous about what?"
"It's making be nervous around... Stardust..." By now I was as nervous as a first encounter with Fluttershy.
"Excuse me I didn't quite get that. Say it again."
"It makes me nervous around Stardust... Don't tell him ok..."
"You... like Stardust? Pfft..." Be put a hoof to his mouth to try to cover up his giggling.
"Yes. DON'T-TELL-HIM!! Ok?"
"Ok. Your secret is safe with me."
"Thanks. Now can you delete my conscience?"
"No. Nothing can delete your conscience."
"Awww..."
"But I can give you guy-to-girl advice."
"Don't you mean stallion-to-mare advice?"
"Yeah, whatever. Just listen. This will be the only thing you will ever need to know about getting a relationship:" I leaned in closer to hear the information, "Be yourself. If they don't like who you are, than they don't want you."
"...Is that it? That's all I need to get Stardust?" I just sounded like my conscience.
"Yup. Now have fun."
"Thanks Be!" I hugged the stallion with a smile and happily trotted off to my bunk. I saw Stardust as I passed through the train car on the way to the bunks and waved at him. He just gave an awkward face. I don't blame him. It's been a long day.
POV CHANGE-3rd Person
Stardust gave an awkward look at Rainbow Dash as she passed. Today she had been acting like she was insane. She talked to him while wearing earplugs and ran away screaming, she walked up to him blindfolded and ran away screaming, and now there she was happily waving hello to him.
Stardust walked into Be's quarters. "Be I need some advice." Stardust said.
"Sure, what is it Star?"
"How can you tell if a mare is on drugs?"
