Remembering each other.

A sudden voice woke SugarSong up, she tried to get back to sleep but there it was again, a bit louder this time. She got out of bed, and walked into the living-room. And saw RainFlash, sitting on the couch, shaking.

“Are you alright?” she asked.

At first, RainFlash didn’t say anything, he looked at her, he took a deep breath, and said calmly.

“Y-yes, it, it was just a nightmare.” He said, and gave her a weak smile.

“Ok... are you sur...”

“Yes, I’m fine, now go back to bed. He said. Almost begging her to do so.

SugarSong sat down next to him, and placed a hoof on his shoulder.”It doesn’t look like you are alright to me.” She said.

RainFlash looked at her, she somehow reminded him of somepony, he just didn’t know who, 3 and when the first tear found it’s way down his cheek, he couldn’t take it anymore. He almost fell over her, and broke down in tears.

Surprised over what just had happened, SugarSong wrapped her hooves around RainFlash, slowly drawing her hoof through his mane. She didn’t really know what else to do, and about an hour later, he seemed to have calmed down, and shortly after, he was sleeping. SugarSong didn’t know what to do, it somehow felt nice, she looked at him, and...  he was smiling? The few times she have seen him while sleeping, he always looked... sad... She decided to not think about it so she closed her eyes and slowly started to fall asleep.

When RainFlash woke up that morning, he found himself in he hooves of his guest, first wondering how he got there, then he remembered the what had happened last night, he didn’t mind the mare, who had wrapped her hooves around him, it was nice, but when be looked at the clock he realized he barley had time to eat breakfast, he ate some leftovers, he checked on SugarSong one more time before he left the house and flew away for work.

SugarSong woke up. She found herself alone on the couch, feeling a bit abandoned, she walked into the kitchen and made herself some breakfast. The fridge didn’t have much food left in it, and it needed to be restocked soon. She had only been here for about 2 weeks, but... it felt like just a few days. She took the plate and placed it in the sink. I wonder what RainFlash is up to. She thought to herself. She looked outside the window. I wonder if he even thinks about me. She thought, there was something familiar over him, but she just didn’t know what. She looked at the clock and it was 10 AM. Well, I might just go and buy some more food, there is not much else I can do around here. She thought to herself. She left the house and headed for the market.

SugarSong was on her way back to the house after her little shopping trip. Maybe I could stop by at Sugar Cube Corner. She thought to herself. When she entered the shop, it was empty. She looked around, and saw some chocolate muffins that looked very tasty.

“HI!”

SugarSong jumped of the sudden voice. And there she was, Pinkie Pie, who somehow had appeared from nowhere. Again.

“Looking for this?” Pinkie Pie said, holding up a pie of some sort. ”It’s a cherry pie, but we are always out of them when RainFlash comes by.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Ok... I ta... wait, how did you know I was going to buy something for RainFlash?” SugarSong said.

“I dunno, sometimes I just know stuff, my friends just call it being Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie said, smiling even more.

“Ok... I guess I’ll have that cherry pie then.” SugarSong said. “How much does it cost?“

“Well, since you are a friend... 15 bits.” Pinkie Pie said, taking the bits and waving goodbye.

RainFlash sits on the couch, still trying to take in what happened today. SugarSong was gone, probably gone shopping for some more food. Laying down on the couch with a grin, a few tears of happiness found their way down his cheek.

SugarSong opened the door, and found RainFlash on the couch, he looked at her, he had been crying, but he didn’t look sad at all, he smiled.

“What happened?“ SugarSong asked, putting away all the food she had just bought.

“I got a promotion.” RainFlash said, quietly laughing to himself.”I’m the new leader in a weatherteam group...“

SugarSong looked at RainFlash, then thinking of that cherry pie.

“Oh, almost forgot. I got you something when I was gone.” She said, and picked up the box with the cherry pie. ”Here, open it.” She said, and gave him a weak smile, and sat down right next to him. She watched RainFlash open the box, first he looked at the pie, then at her.

“Congrats to your new job!” SugarSong said, giving RainFlash a hug.

It took a moment for RainFlash to get back on earth, he returned the hug.

“I’ll go and get some plates, not sharing this pie wouldn’t be that nice of me.” RainFlash said with a big smile on his face. He walked out into the kitchen, and grabbed two plates and a cake server so he could slice the pie. Why did SugarSong even buy that pie, there is no way she could’ve known he would get a promotion. Not giving it to much thoughts, he took the two plates and the cake server and walked back into the living-room. He placed one of the plates in front of SugarSong and the other plate in front of himself, he sliced the pie in eight pieces and took one of the slices and placed it on SugarSong’s plate and the another one in his own.

“Well, let’s dig in!” RainFlash said, and took a bite of the pie. He glanced over at SugarSong and it seemed like she enjoyed the cherry pie. They ate the pie in silence, just enjoying the taste of the delicious cherry pie. Wasn’t hearts and hooves day coming up in just a few days? Maybe, he could buy her some flowers, or take her out and go to a restaurant. When he thought about it, he didn’t find any reason not to, when she was around, he was actually, happy.
