Convenient

"See ya!" Jeremy called as he got out of the car with a bag of extra tacos he had yet to eat. After I bought him food I dropped him off at his house.

"Bye. Hey are you going to school tomorrow?" I asked him through the window.

"That depends. Are you going to school or are you skipping again?" He paused to hear our answer before he walked away.

"Not sure. Good chance of no, though." I replied, I glanced over to Rainbow Dash, who had her hooves up. I wasn't sure if she was asleep or not, she wasn't moving, but she wasn't making any noise either. "Probably not. No."

"Well, if you're going back then come pick me up!" He requested. "I'd rather be there working then in school sleeping."

"Thanks for the help on the farm!" Applejack thanked him from the back seat. Jeremy turned around with his bag of food and made a gesture that said: 'no problem'. With that, I used his driveway to turn around and headed home. "He's a strange one." Applejack commented.

"How so?" Rainbow Dash said while keeping her eyes shut. Apparently she wasn't asleep.

"Ah tried to pay him for all the work he did on mah farm." She explained. "But, he wouldn't take a bit of it."

"Makes him look better, doesn't it?" I hinted.

"Yeah, makes him seem... Honest." She said as she stared out the window at the passing cars.

Rainbow Dash and I exchanged looks. "How so?" Dash continued, peering over her shoulder to the back.

"He worked that hard and didn't even want anything out of it." She replied. "Ah'v known you for years and you wouldn't even do that." Dash shrugged with agreement. "Ah met him less then twenty-four hours ago and he worked until he couldn't anymore."

"Working hard makes him honest?" She asked.

"Honest isn't the word ah'm lookin' for." She rubbed her chin with her hoof, trying to think of a good word to describe him with. "Ah can't think of the word."

"Sounds like the word your looking for is attractive." I teased her while Rainbow Dash snickered. She blushed intensely.

"That's rich coming from you two!" She countered. "You're closer to him then you are with anyother pony ah'v ever seen!"

"It's different." Dash muttered.

"How?" She demanded, defensively. "Y'all have been inseparable since ya met and y'all have even kissed!" We weren't entirely sure if she could see our bright red faces from the back seat of the car.

"Still different, though. He saved me from drowning and that was the only way for me to get back to Equestria!" Rainbow Dash returned.

"That's why y'all got excited when you had to kiss?" Applejack maintained, Dash and I looked at each other. "Don't think ah forgot about that." She reminded us. "I know y'all like each other."

Dash and I sighed in unison. "Why is this so hard to keep a secret?" Dash asked.

"I'm not sure, ponies seem to be adept at reading signs." I told her.

"Or it's because you two are really obvious." Applejack commented. "And y'all were talkin' about me?" She gave us a smug grin. "Please."

"Well, if for some reason things happen between you and Jeremy then he wouldn't have anything to use against us!" I told her. "So, you know, feel free to make a move."

"So ya just want to use me?" Applejack muttered.

"No, but there's a good chance of Jeremy finding out and when he does we want something to keep his mouth shut with." Rainbow Dash  explained with a brohoof from me to close it.

"That would be using me." Applejack growled.

"Not really. Plus, I know that you were think about it a little bit ago." I countered. "The only other time I'v seen Jeremy work that hard was when he got paid a lot of money to do something. He turned down your money, so what's that saying?"

We arrived at my house and I was pulling into the driveway. We stepped out of the car and were walking up to the steps that led to the front door. "Just think about it, sleep on it. Use it as you will." Rainbow Dash suggested.

"Unrelated topic," I cut in, wanting to poke the farmer, "have you seen her bathroom? It's so colorful that it blows my mind."

"You've been in her bathroom?" Applejack asked in awe. "Wait, she lives on a cloud... How did ya get up there? How did ya not fall through the moment ya stepped hoof on her cloud?"

"He used Pinkie's balloon to get up there. Also, humans can stand on our clouds for some reason. Who knew?" Rainbow Dash revealed. I unlocked the front door and let the ponies in with me not long after them. My mother was waiting on the couch, watching the television to pass the time. "We're back..." Dash announced.

My mother tuned off the television and observed at us intensely and silently. "Hey." I greeted her, uncomfortably.

She stared for about two minuets before she opened her mouth for another. "I'm still thinking about how to respond to all of this, I'm going to need some more time. In the meantime, though, I don't care if you can go into another world or not, you're still going to school tomorrow." She shifted her eyes onto Rainbow Dash. "I didn't check his room last night, so i'm assuming that he slept at your house or home or whatever you live in." She replied with a nervous nod. My mother looked back at me. "While i'm still thinking this out, you're sleeping in this house."

"I'v can travel between worlds and you want me to go to a place that tells me things that I already know?" I asked her. "She has her whole house to herself too! That's unfair to her!" I argued.

She swung her head around to stare at Rainbow Dash. "Do you care about staying here for a little while?" She asked her.

She shrugged nervously. "Sure, I don't mind." She replied.

"Wow. Thanks for the fight." I remarked.

"What?" Dash returned. "She scares me!"

"That's what I was going for." My mother said as she relaxed on the couch. "I don't care about your excuses, you're going to school, but, I don't care about your weightlifting."

"Fine." I replied. "Applejack."

"What?" She was hiding on the stairs, trying to avoid my mother's icy gaze.

"Ready to go back?" I asked her.

"Oh, yeah." She answered while she trotted over to us.

"Your name's Applejack?" My mother asked, pausing the television.

"Uh, yes ma'am." She replied cautiously.

"Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"Nice to, uh, meet you too." She returned. Dash and I touched her and in an instant we were back on her farm in Equestria. She stopped and looked at me. "Your mom is scary." She whispered.

"I know, I'm used to her moments know." I told her.

"I'v been looking for you two!" We head someone say from behind us. We turned around to see Twilight looking back at us. "Where have you been?"

"We were here for a while, went to get lunch. came back here, took Applejack and Jeremy to lunch in his world and now here we are." Rainbow Dash reported.

"I see." She stated. "Are you going to be here tomorrow? I have something I want to try..." Her eyes wandered over to me. I cringed at the thought of another needle.

"We can't I have school." I responded after I finished coughing into my sleeve. "We'll be in school until at least three."

Twilight's eyes lit up. "Oh, can I come, too?" She pleaded.

"Why would you want to come to his school?" Dash asked her.

"I want to learn what they know about their world. I want to know the differences and similarities in our worlds." She was starting to get giddy with the thought of going to school again. "I want to learn more!"

"Do you care? For that matter, are you going at all?" I asked my blue marefriend. "You know you can stay at my house and just watch T.V. or somethin'" I told her.

"I'll go, it was pretty fun last time." She replied. "Twilight, it starts at eight in the morning, though."

"Really?" Twilight cocked an eyebrow. "That late?" The three of us rolled our eyes.

"Just be ready by then, we'll come and pick you up." I sighed.

"Alright! I'll be waiting. I also want to observe you two as a-"

"Couple?" Applejack interrupted. Twilight gasped and looked at us, who had bright red faces. "Yeah, ah know about them." She murmured.

"You two are bad at keeping secrets." Twilight looked us.

"We're aware of this." I muttered. "Just drop it."

"See you tomorrow." She said cheerfully as she turned around to return home.

"Thanks for the food." Applejack said while she started to her house.

I placed my hand on Rainbow Dash's back and we were then surrounded by my living room. My mother watched us arrive, she observed in awe. "What?" I asked.

"That's so strange, there's nothing really there when you come. It's like you just appear out of nowhere." She replied softly. "The air kind of distorts around where you come. That's  the only thing, though."

"We only see a flash of light." I told my mother. "I can see that you're thinking some things out right now..." I said as we backed away towards the stairs. "I'm not really sure what to say... So goodnight I guess." We slowly turned the corner and walked up the stairs.

"Goodnight." My mother called from the couch. "Sorry Rainbow, I guess you'll just have to lay around here again tomorrow while Jack is at school." Dash giggled a bit from the deception.

I stepped out of my shower and looked back at it after I died off and clothed myself. I sighed with disappointment. I walked out of the bathroom and across the hall to my bedroom. It was around Midnight and Rainbow Dash was already in my bed before I finished showering. "Now that i'v been in your bathroom, mine just seems so boring and sad." I told her.

"You really like my bathroom, don't you." She smiled.

"It changed my life." I joked as I leaped into bed beside Dash. "My bed is a whole lot smaller too."

"Is that a bad thing?" She Inched closer to me. Our faces developed a blood red color.

"Now that I think about it, no. No it's not." I matched her movement. We leaned in closer and closed our eyes. I pressed my lips against hers. I could feel the heat radiating from my face. We both pulled away and rested our heads on the one pillow. "Still is really weird." I sighed.

"Honestly, I hope we never get used to it." She confessed. "I like how it is now, the new, strange feeling. It still seems like my first kiss each time."

"When we were first about to kiss for that potion thing, I was half expecting you to taste like skittles." I told her with a smile through my blood-red face.

"I was expecting it being a lot worse then what it was." She told me. "I was insanely relived that you liked it too. You should grow some wings so it's more noticeable." She joked.

"I'm perfectly fine with it not being embarrassing apparent." I returned. "It's not like wings would effect my manhood at all. Would it?" Dash giggled. "Is it like some pony thing?"

"Pegasi thing, more like it." She divulged. "There's something about a strong pair of wings on a stallion..." She trailed off into thought.

"Way to make me feel inadequate." I muttered.

"You can do a lot more things then they can, though." She comforted. "For starters, you're stronger then all of them together. They can't open a door here, either."

"I'm guessing that flying is pretty great?" I asked her.

"Oh, you wouldn't believe the rush you get when you take to the air." She replied.

"I guess a car will have to do for humans then." I sighed and Rainbow rested her head on my shoulder and we both drifted off into sleep.

***

"What's going on here?" We were awoken by a loud voice at the door. Dash and I rubbed our eyes and looked around the room, then to each other. I woke up with Rainbow Dash still in arm, she had fallen asleep on my shoulder. Will was in the doorway, with a large, beaming grin on his face. "And here I thought that you were gay." He cackled. He noticed that Rainbow was glaring at him intensely. "I meant Jack, but you have rainbow hair, so you too, actually."

"Even though I value her over you by an unfathomable number," I stated, with a blush surfacing on my face, along with Dash. "it's still platonic."

"Sure." He observed skeptically.

"Alright, you can give up your bed and sleep on the floor tonight while she has your bed." I suggested. "Even though that she has her own house all to herself, mother dearest won't let us go, even though she has like three beds."

"Okay, I see your point." He admitted. "Still doesn't change the fact that she just woke up in your arms. If I wasn't here this probably would have been a nice little moment for you two."

"You're saying you never roll around in your sleep?" Rainbow Dash questioned. Jeremy stopped and thought about his next argument.

"Then why are you blushing?" He asked.

"Why are you such a bitch!." I responded.

"Touche." My brother opened his mouth to say something else, but he decided against it. Will narrowed his eyes and continued down the hall, away from my room. The alarm clock finally caught up and started to cry.

"Now it goes off?" Rainbow Dash whined as she stretched her wings across her body.

***

"I have a feeling that you don't remember what the gas station looks like, do you?" I asked Rainbow Dash in my driveway. We were ready to leave and were walking to my car.

"I do not." She answered.

"So I guess we'll take the car then." I returned. "You think that Twilight's ready?"

"I think that she's been ready for at least two hours." Dash replied.

"Probably." I placed my hand on Rainbow Dash's back and we blinked to Twilight's house. I scanned the room and saw that she was reading a book at a table. "You ready to go?" I asked her.

"I'v been ready for an hour!" She reported.

"Ah, so I was close." Rainbow Dash commented.

Twilight trotted over so that Dash and I could get a connection from her. Just then Spike came down the stairs. "Where you guys going?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.

"I'm going with these two to Jack's school." Twilight told him. "Do you want to come with us?"

"Not really, no." He answered with a blank face.

"Too bad, you're coming too." She ordered. Then she thought for a bit and turned towards us. "He can come too, right?"

Dash and I exchanged looks and shrugged. "Sure."

Spike just let out a grunt of disapproval. "Don't worry about it Spike, I don't like it either. We make it more entertaining." Spike made a smile at the hope that it wouldn't be as boring as he thought.

"Oh, Jack, one more thing..." Twilight started.

"What-AAGH!" I chocked out in pain. I felt a sharp pain in my thigh. I looked down and there was a syringe in my leg. It was filled with a green substance that was slowly emptying into me. It also had a magical, purple haze around it. I looked up at Twilight, who was levitating a clipboard too. "What the HELL Twilight?" Rainbow Dash had a shocked look on her face and Spike was chuckling to himself as he walked over.

"I see that you forgot about me mentioning this yesterday." Twilight murmured. The last of the green solution entered my thigh. I started feeling light-headed. Colors seemed brighter, and more vivid.

"Twilight! That's not cool!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "You can't just go around injecting things into people!"

"Seems like he's okay with it." Spike observed me looking around the room with intensified interest.

I rubbed Dash's side. "You're so damn soft." I burst out into a fit of random laughter. The room was spinning, I couldn't think straight, or keep balance on my two feet. I fell to the floor. The other three just watched me in amusement. "I had to poison my dog so he couldn't keep chasing that baby giraffe..." I whispered as I crawled on the floor.

"How...How long is he going to be like this?" Dash asked them with snicker at my unusual behavior.

"I'm not quite sure..." Twilight replied. "Didn't count on any side effects. I kind of feel bad, though." She said while she watched me hug the floor.

"Make sure those monsters don't shoot my left nut." I whispered again at Dash's feet.

"I wish I had a camera right now." Spike said with a laugh. "So badly right now."

"This might sober him up." Twilight said as she levitated another syringe out of a drawer in the desk. She quickly pierced it through the back of my leg before Rainbow Dash could object. I was gone. I had no idea where I was or why I was there, anymore. Twilight injected the second solution until it ran out.

"Stop doing that!" Rainbow shouted. "Why do you have so many of these things?" She demanded.

"Special occasions." She replied. "Primarily, like this one."

My sanity slow came back to me. I started thinking complete thoughts once more. I observed my surroundings from the floor. I felt cold, then I realized that I had taken my shirt and hoodie off. "What the hell just happened?" I asked, rubbing my head.

"Twilight injected something into you and you started crawling on the floor, stripping and rubbing your body pretty strangely." Spike answered, grinning. "This is going to be a fun day."

"It looked like you liked it." Rainbow Dash commented. "I thought you said that you couldn't use the same thing again because it stays in his body."

"It's a different mixture then before." Twilight answered.

I quickly grabbed my hoodie and put it on over my shirt again. "What did you put in me?" I asked Twilight with a confused expression. "LSD?"

"It's suppose to make the transition that you two do a lot less painful for you." She replied. "What's LSD?"

"Did it work?" I asked.

"You're going to have to tell us." She responded while she trotted closer to us. We both took a shoulder and left to my driveway. I didn't feel the need to cough, but my throat was sore. "Feel anything?"

"Not really." I said with a grin. "Thanks, this is definitely worth being shanked by a few needles."

"You're welcome!" Twilight said, cheerfully. Her smile quickly disappeared when she remembered Spike. "Spike hasn't come here yet, has he?" She asked.

We thought about it and then burst into laughter. "Nope!" Rainbow confirmed while she nudged me. "Let's go get him."

Once we were back at Twilight's library, we saw Spike in the same spot he was before. "Com'on. Are you going?" I asked him, trying to hold back my chuckles.

"Yea, why are you rushing? Are you late or something?" He questioned us.

"Nope." Dash answered. We both touched his arms.

"Wait." He thought about it. "Wasn't that other guy rolling on the floor because of thi-" We didn't let him finish his realization. The next thing we heard was a loud shout and our laughter. Spike was on his knees, clutching his ears with his eyes shut. "You guys are jerks!" He tried to yell over the ringing sound in his head.

Twilight enveloped Spike in her levitation spell and held him above her while he was recovering. "How are we getting there?" She asked. I pointed to the Honda Civic a few feet away. "What does that do?"

"Am I going to have to go through this every a new pony comes here?" I wondered as I walked over to my car and slipped in to demonstrate to her how it worked.

"Probably." Rainbow Dash snickered.

I tried explaining it a different way this time, I started the engine first. Twilight Jumped back with caution, to which Dash laughed at. I backed the car up and readied it to travel to our destination. I stopped and put on the parking brake and stepped out. Walking around the car, I opened the passenger door and let Rainbow Dash show Twilight by example.

She literally jumped into the car with the help from her wings. I shut the door and opened the car door to the back seats and moved my hand to show Twilight to get in. She approached it slowly and then set Spike inside first, seeing that nothing was wrong she relaxed and got in, herself.

I quickly ran back to the front, but slid across the hood of the car for fun. I thought that it was larger then it was and ended up falling to the pavement. I popped up and ignored the pain, for the embarrassment was more painful. I stepped back into the car and pulled up the parking brake. "Nice move, back there." Rainbow giggled with Twilight. Spike was still blind and deaf, which I was thankful for.

"I was close." I muttered as I started onto the road.

"Close to the ground!" Rainbow Dash and Twilight cackled. I just sighed, then remembered something.

"Hey Rainbow Dash, I thought that you said that ponies don't have inside toilets?" I asked her. "I used the toilet in your bathroom!"

"I didn't think we did." She replied.

"You didn't know if you had a toilet in your bathroom?" Twilight questioned with a smirk. "You really need to improve on your hygiene."

"I know." I added, putting my arm around Rainbow's seat. "I had to giver her a bath when she came here."

"You bathed her?" Twilight giggled. "Was that before or after you two started doing this?"

"It was kind of one of the things leading up to it." Rainbow confessed while peeking back to Spike to make sure he couldn't hear us.

"At least they can't call you gay anymore." I noted with a chuckle from Twilight and a glare from Rainbow.
