Unexpected Adventures

Whip placed down the book he borrowed from the Golden Oaks Library, completely out of breath. This book was amazing! Every time he turned the page he felt like he was entering a new adventure! He took a breath and could feel his heart racing, this book was probably the best one he had ever read in his life so far, and if he remembered right, this was only the first in the series. He could only imagine what the other books would do to him. He was about to get up and head over to the Library to go get the next book, but then he glanced out his window, only to see that it was already night time. Had he really been reading that book all that time? He didn't know where all the time went. Whip wasn't even tired yet, so he tossed on a sweatshirt and walked outside. Whip opened his wings, just enjoying the wind for a moment before jumping into the sky, slowly flying through the air,breathing in the chill of the night.

Whip greatly enjoyed flying though the night, the cool air blowing through his mane, the goosebumps he would get every time the wind blew, it was the greatest feeling to him. The only unfortunate thing about flying in the night, is that there was no company. Sure he wasn't always saying hello to every pony he saw, but knowing that there were ponies around him so he could say hello just seemed to give him a bit of....comfort, for the lack of a better word.

After a few hours of slowly gliding around the town, Whip noticed that the sun was starting to rise, bringing with it a beautiful sky of red, orange, and yellows. Whip stopped on a lone cloud floating by so he could simply enjoy the sight of the sky. As the sun began to rise even further into the sky, the colors also began to fade away. Whip watched the ground below as ponies started to leave their homes and open their shops. Whip extended his wings and flapped them slowly, moving the cloud and himself along to a destination he loved. His favorite coffee shop.

Luckily, as he was dropping down from his cloud, the owner of the shop was just walking up. As she spotted Whip, she gave a smile, followed by a yawn. "Well hey there hot stuff~ Up all night again?" Whip smiled before he spoke. "Morning Sexy~ Yeah I was up all night. Read a good book and couldn't get to sleep."

Whip moved up next to the mare and lightly bumped her with his flank, which made her giggle a bit. This mare was Whips best friend. He could always count on her for anything, and he always has. Her name was Icy Shine.

Icy has been Whip's friend for years, since they were still young. When they were just getting into their teen years, they were in a relationship for almost a year and a half. But then they realized that they never actually showed each other special affection. They never kissed or anything. And they found out that neither of them wanted to do anything like that with each other. So they both decided that they would stay friends, but that never meant they couldn't joke around with each other. They were pretty  touchy with each other, but not in the sexual term. They would sleep together, lay on each other, even cuddle with each other on the couch when they watched a movie, but they never thought about doing anything sexual.

"I bet I can guess what you are here for. You just couldn't stay away from my sexy little flank could you~?" She waved her flank in his face a little before giggling. Whip chuckled a little before speaking. "Well, you're close. I am here for you, but it's mostly for your coffee." She turned to him with an eyebrow raised and a smile. "I really hope you don't say that to your mare friend. She would probably kick your ass." She chuckled lightly before she opened the shops door and let him inside before flipping the sign from "closed" to "open". Ponies wouldn't be coming in for about another hour, but she liked to get an early start.

"So I'm guessing that you're going to want your usual?" She knew Whip so well and he was glad she did. No pony else did. He felt more comfortable talking to her over anypony else, even over his own mother. Icy just seemed to be the only pony who really understood him. "Of course. Did you expect anything different from me?" "To be honest, not at all. You're starting to get a little boring really." She smiled lightly before turning around to start on his coffee. "So what are you up to now Whip? Still breaking mare's hearts because you don't want anything to tie you down?" "I already told you Icy, it's not that I don't want anything to tie me down, it's just that I don't really want to be in a relationship with anypony. I just wouldn't have the time for them." Whip yawned and slumped over the counter. "Can you hurry up with my coffee? I need it so I can survive the day." The was sad part is, Whip was only half lying. Once he didn't get his coffee and got pretty tired while sitting on a cloud. He tends to role when he sleeps so when he woke up he was watching the ground coming to smack him in the face.

Icy scoffed and stopped what she was doing and turned to Whip. "You're still so impatient. I'd have thought you would learned about it since you are training for the Wonderbolts." It was true. Whip had always dreamed to be a Wonderbolt, since he was a little colt. "I do know patience. I just really want my coffee. Pleeeease?" Whip gave a small pout and stuck out his bottom lip, in an attempt to get Icy to work a little faster. Icy only gave him a little glare. "You know, I haven't had my coffee either. So shut up and wait for it." She turned and continued to work on his coffee. After only a few minutes she placed the cup in front of him with a smile. There you go. Something nice and hot for the hot stallion~." She gave him a small wink before turning to go work on her own coffee. Whip enjoyed his sweet cappuccino. Vanilla Caramel Explosion, with extra whipped cream and a caramel drizzle on top. Soon Icy joined him with a smile, sitting on a stool behind the counter. "So when are you finally going to try out for the Wonderbolts? You have been training for like what? Almost Three years?" "It'll be three years next week. I'm going to try to get into the training camp when it starts up. Hopefully I'll be able to get in."

About an hour passed and other ponies started coming into the shop. It started to get busy so Whip tried to get Icy's attention before he decided to leave. "Hey Icy! I'm just going to get out of your mane for a while. Don't need to keep you from your work." "Alright sexy~ Don't I get a kiss before you leave?" Whip smiled and pressed his hoof to his mouth, then he blew her a kiss. She pretended to snatch it out of the air and press it to her lips, then she waved him goodbye before beginning to get back to work. Whip took the last sip of his coffee before tossing the empty cup into the trash. He proceeded to trot out the door, feeling ready to take on any challenge that was thrown at him. That was before he saw something pink bouncing in his direction.
