//-------------------------------------------------------// The Love of Rainbows -by Shadowflash- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 The Love of Rainbows Chapter 1 Today.. Was a good day. I woke up at 5:30 AM for my daily routine. Shower for school, head out to my bus-stop at 6:40 AM, get picked up, listen to my music and ignore all the idiots that reside on my bus, dropped off at school, go to all my classes, leave school and get home -- repeating the morning process, just in the afternoon -- to go on my computer. Over a March break I became, what the internet refers to as, ‘A Brony’. A guy who likes, or loves, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The show is amazing. After the first episode I was enthralled and fell in love! It really popped out at me. All the characters. Twilight Sparkle, AppleJack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, Pinkie Pie -- who I clearly think is insane and a slightly crazy bitch -- and the best of all.. Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is my character. I love her. How extroverted she is, how wild and free she can be, how much loyalty she shows and how much she just loves… Showing off. I enjoy it. She reminds me of me. I like to show off a bit and try to be a top-of-the-line friend for everyone. I really do care about all my friends. I don’t care if they know I’m a Brony or not. I just love doing what I do. Well, today is Tuesday, April 9th, 2012. I got home and did what I usually did: got on the computer and read some Fan-Fictions along with looking at a lot of Brony/Pegasister memes -- Pegasister being the female version of a Brony -- along with talking to other Bronies. Unfortunately it’s a weekday, which means, I have to go to bed. As the clock struck 10 PM I grew tired and saddened. I don’t like heading off to bed when I’m enriched with happiness and joy. I do dream about My Little Pony, though. I don’t care if that seems weird, or not, it gets me to sleep. I mean.. I do take pills to over-come how sleep deprived I used to be and how I use to be an emotional wreck. I wasn’t always this happy. I use to want to kill myself. I found myself .. Useless. A waste of space. I felt I wasn’t needed and that the world wouldn’t recognize if I was gone or not. I was proved wrong when a friend called the police to help me. I’m glad that happened. It really changed me. The Brony community helps a lot too. I enjoy having the cheery guys and gals around me. It brings a smile to my face. As I went to sleep that night I was warmly tucked in and the temperature of the room was a little chilly, not unusual, I like it like this; kind of like the ‘cool side of the pillow’. My alarm was set for 5:30 and I drifted off asleep. To the land of the ponies again. My dreams are usually the same: just some random adventure I have with my favourite Pegasus: Rainbow Dash. We learn lessons about friendship and tell Princess Celestia about it all. But all good things come to an end as my alarm clock blared its loud, air-raid like, horn. I woke up, smacked the stupid button on it, and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and saw that it was darker than normal in my room. The alarm is usually illuminating it beyond belief but now it wasn’t. And usually the light, from the recent daylight savings time, helps illuminate my room. It smelled odd, too. I mean it doesn’t smell of its usual candy-filled sweetness. Got to love candy. It smelled of sap and cat fur. I stood up in my Peter Griffon pyjama’s -- I love Family Guy, too -- and felt moist grass under the soles of my feet. “Grass..?” I said to myself looking down at the grassy ground. This is strange. I’ve never seen this happen. Was it still a dream? I really don’t know what’s going on. “Mom…? Dad…? Micheal?” I called out to my family, hoping for an answer, and all I get was a call from birds. And a growl of a large lion behind me. I turned and saw to my horror a large lion-scorpion cross of a beast. A Manticore. “I.. I… Uhmm..” I slowly backed up, worried, for that it might eat me or something. It hissed and growl, crushing my bed, moving forward. “Nice.. Kitty.. I.. Uhmm..” As I spoke, it roared, and swatted its large scorpion tail to my side, smacking me towards a tree and my foot broke the impact. Breaking my ankle. “OW! FUCK!!” I yelled and whimpered. The Manticore drew closer. This wasn’t a dream. It was a nightmare. “Please! I’m sorry! What did I do?! Just.. Let me leave! PLEASE!” I yelled and pleaded the Manticore. It stared and sniffed me. “I’ll leave! Just.. Let me leave. I won’t come back. I’m sorry…” I whimpered, some more, and was looking it in the eyes now. Finally, it understood, the Manticore pointed to the exit of its home; to a large grassy outcrop. I slowly stood up, leaning against the tree, and hopped forward to the outcrop. The Manticore watched me for at least 10 minutes until I exited the area. I fell on a yellow-gravel pathway. “Ow… My.. Ankle..” I cried lightly. This was the most pain I’ve ever felt. I never broke a bone in my life. “Someone… Please.. Help…” I whimpered out to the air. It responded with a grassy wind and whistled lightly. “Please!” I yelled out. The yelling vibrated my bones and made the pain worse. Tears were dripping down my pyjama top. The blood slowly seeped out of the small open wound on the broken point of my ankle. I removed my sock, very slowly and gently, to look at the injury. The bone was out of place. Didn’t seem like it was fractured. One small hit of it and it might go back to its original position. Or worse. I loved biology but, this was too much, I don’t know how to start to re-align a ligament or a bone. I’ve only read about it. I couldn’t take the chance. So I collapsed and tried to sleep it off. Hoping someone might come to help me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The ground was hard, cold, and every-which-way uncomfortable. I obviously woke up for what felt like an hour. I was surprisingly dirty. But, then again, I was smacked against a fucking tree and had a bone out of place. The wound wasn’t severe, though. Just the bone out of place. I sat up and started to yell again. “Hello?! Anyone hear me?!” I looked around. Nothing. The grassy plain didn’t even show a town, let alone people, for what seemed like millions of miles. “It’s hopeless.. I’m…” I sighed, looking at my ankle. “I won’t get anywhere unless I snap it. But I don’t know how! God! I wish I knew how! Where are my books when I need them?… Where is my family?.. My friends..” I cried into my hands. For several minutes, or what seemed like hours, I sat there, looking at the gravel and dirt. A breeze or two brushed through my brown hair and dried some of my tears. And then I heard a crash. I looked around, and started yelling again. “Hello?! Anyone there?! Please! I need help!” I looked around, shifting, slowly turning in a circle so that I don’t put pressure on my ankle. I saw something blue at the corner of my eye flash into a cloud. It looked like.. “Hello?! Please! I need help! My ankle is broken! Please…!” I cried out, looking all around for whatever I saw. As I looked more, this placed seemed familiar. The green grass, large mountains, beautiful flowers, marshmallow like clouds, and a dark dense forest of what seemed like something out of a horror movie. I couldn’t quite process what it was. But it seemed vaguely familiar. But, then, something dropped down behind me and started to sniff my hair. I jumped and cried as I put pressure on my ankle. “Owww!” Tears streamed down my face as I cried and the ’something’ spoke in a womanly raspy tone. “Ohmigosh! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you! I heard yelling and I came as fast as I could.” The woman-voice said. I had my eyes cringed but I heard her move in front of me. “My ankle.. It’s..” I opened my eyes. My grey eyes lightly reddened with stress and so much crying. I looked up and saw something astonishing. A sky-blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane. “It’s broken! Ohmigosh!” She dipped her head looking at it. She slowly pressed herself on the ground, placing her hooves at each side of my foot. “A.. A-are you a .. Pegasus?” I asked. The pain didn’t seem relevant. Was this who I think it was? “Yes, I am. The best flier in Ponyville, too!” She exclaimed with amazing prowess. She also seemed very confident in that. “P.. Pony..?” my mouth went agape. I couldn’t believe it. Am I in.. “So.. I.. W.. Who are you?” I asked. “I’m Rainbow Dash! But, that’s not important. You’re hurt and I need to fix that ankle.” She said, looking at my ankle. “I.. I don’t want to try and snap it back in place.. I’m worried that I might make it worse..” I said, trying to contain all my excitement. Rainbow Dash. The best pony, to me, ever! My idol in the pony world! “I know a thing or two about snapping my bones back together. This… Will hurt a lot.” Her rose-y eyes lightly brought a sparkling smile. It took my mind completely off the pain. “So, you are?” Rainbow Dash asked. But, before I could answer, I yelled in pain as she quickly snapped my ankle back into place. “OWWWW! FUCK!” I yelled and winced. “Ohmigosh! I’m sorry! I really am! I just had to do it with you off-guard..” Rainbow Dash moved closer, looking into my grey eyes. “It’s.. Okay.. I’m.. It’s feeling better now..” I said, wiping my eyes of tears. “I’m Carl… I.. This.. Where am I?” I answered her previous question and inquired where I was. “This is Equestria. You must be.. Uhm.. A homo-sabien.. Or whatever?” Rainbow Dash looked at me, up and down, and probably figured that out by my hands. “Uhm.. Yeah..” I answered. I’m surprised Rainbow Dash, an athletic and physically smart pony, would know such a word. “How.. Did you get here? I mean.. Twilight -- my friend -- always spoke how ’It’s impossible to have a human in Equestria!’.” She imitated Twilight quite well. She folded her mane into what looked like a rainbow-unicorn horn and pranced around like she was reading a book. I laughed lightly. It was pretty funny and helped ease my mind a bit. “I.. Don’t know. I just went to sleep in my bed last night and woke up to a Manticore smashing me into a tree. Breaking my ankle.” Rainbow Dash shook her head as I gave my response. “C’mon, let’s get you to my friend Fluttershy. She can help you rest.” Rainbow Dash gave me a nice smile, fluttering lightly upward with her wings and helping me stand. “Carl, right?” She asked and I nodded. I lightly hopped with my arm wrapped around her neck. It was brushing against her mane and it felt like I was brushing a newborn puppies fur. It was really soft. “Well, I promise to help you. Whatever it takes.” Rainbow Dash brought me forward, slowly, and we headed off in the direction of what I assumed was ’Fluttershy’s’ house. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 Chapter 3 “Is.. She always this quiet?” I said, sitting on the edge of a .. Very uncomfortable chair. “She’s just shy.. It’s her nature.” Rainbow Dash said, poking Fluttershy who was hiding behind her light pink mane. “Fluttershy, pretend he’s a monkey!” Rainbow Dash giggled lightly and Fluttershy revealed her cyan eyes. “He’s a monkey?” She said, looking over at me. I just went along with it. I’m only a highly evolved monkey. “Yeah, think of him like a monkey. Who can talk.” Rainbow Dash moved closer to me, sitting her rump near my left foot. “And this monkey has a bad ankle?” Fluttershy moved close to my right ankle, which was my broken one, and is now examining it. “Yeah. Poor Carl the Monkey was attacked my a Manticore.” Rainbow Dash kept this little charade going. I just laughed in my mind about it. “Poor little Carl. I’ll make you feel better in no-time. I promise.” Fluttershy gave me a smile and propped her two hooves on my knees. “How old are you, Carl?” She asked. Was unusual, but I answered. “Fifteen. I’m turning sixteen in October.” I was looking mostly as Rainbow Dash’s expression as she was making faces behind Fluttershy. I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. “What’s funny?” She turned around and Rainbow Dash quickly stood there whistling. “Rainbow.. That’s not nice.” Fluttershy made a light whisper. “I’m kidding around. Sorry.” Rainbow Dash said. I kept chuckling though. “I would love to take care of him.. But I have no more room. I can give him some ointment. But maybe you should talk to Twilight? She has plenty of space.” Fluttershy went to her kitchen quickly and came out with a small blue bottle. She went to my right ankle and tipped the bottle. A light green liquid spread across my foot. It stung, like alcohol would if it came in contact with an infected wound, and then it eventually faded away. Must be some sort of magical ointment. “There. That should help you walk Carl.” She smiled looking at me. “Thanks.” I said, standing up. It felt a lot better. “C’mon. I’ll bring you to Twilight’s place.” Rainbow Dash slowly fluttered next to me. “Come back and visit!” Fluttershy yelled as we waved and left. We walked over the small bridge and out onto the road. Well, Rainbow Dash flew lightly next to me, I walked. “So tell me about yourself, Carl.” Rainbow Dash asked. I didn’t think of her one to care. “Uhm.. Well.. I come from a place called ’Earth’. It’s roamed by mostly 6,428,822,900 human beings. The rest is filled with animals, plant life, and aquatic life. It’s getting cramped and times are hard there. With war and what-not.” I put my hands into my pyjama pockets. They were really dirty. “War? That sounds awful.” Rainbow Dash lowered herself down to the ground. Now that I’m standing, I could see that she was almost as tall as me. Me, being short, standing at five-foot-one and her probably standing at about four-foot-seven. “Yeah.. Economic crises too. Murder, rape, et cetera. It’s horrible. But.. I have hope. The world may turn to shadow but, eventually, it’ll become a ball of light within darkness.” I looked over at Rainbow Dash. She didn’t seem to be philosophical with me, but she understood. “Wow. That sounded pretty uplifting.” She clicked forward as I continued. “Yeah. I like poetry. Was always into it. Shakespeare inspired me a little. Along with a lot of musical artists. I assume you .. Ponies have them too?” I already knew it was a ‘yes’ seeing the episode where; Rarity had to collect gems to make twelve outfits for a famous artist who was visiting Ponyville. “Yup! But not many of them are good. I like Vinyl Scratch, personally. She has a knack for spinning records.” Rainbow Dash lightly laughed, and her mane flipped gently over her right eye. She blew it out of the way. I found that kind of cute. “What other things do you like?” She asked. “Well.. I like.. Uhm.. Watching television.. Going on the… Internet. Things you haven’t heard of. My world is different. Not so peaceful like it seems here.” I went on as she didn’t ask what the things were. I was glad, cause I was lightly going ’red-faced’. I have trouble talking to girls. “Uhm.. I mostly like to write stories, too. I mean, I’ve written one so far. Some people like it. But then again, not everyone is great at everything. I just want to be recognized for some sort of work. Also, I --” But then it hit me. I just remembered. Every morning I take my pills that help me stay happy at this time. I don’t have them. “Oh no! My.. My pills!” I panicked. “Your pills? What pills?” Rainbow Dash looked at me, as I started to frantically look in my pockets, hoping I brought something. “I take pills to help fight off depression. They make me happy and I don’t have them here!” Rainbow Dash looked at me with a confused expression. “Happy pills?.. Depression?..” I stopped when she said that. I just revealed something I don’t like talking about. “Uhm.. You know.. It’s not that big of a deal. Let’s just go.” I paced forward, a bit faster now, and started to trot close to Ponyville. “Hey, wait!” She flew in front of me. “You can’t keep secrets from a girl, you know! C’mon, tell me!” She pressed her mussel against my nose. “I really don’t like talking about it. Please, Rainbow, I just.. Another time, okay? I promise. I doubt I’m leaving soon anyways.” I sincerely looked at her, hoping she’d let this go. To my dismay, she didn’t. “Oh no you don’t! One of my friends did something like this to me and then I had to chase her down to get the truth! C’mon, tell me!” She gave a kind of cute puppy-like-eyes expression. “Okay.. If you promise to keep it a secret.” I looked at her, trying not to lose my composure. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” She did the gestures of the Pinkie Pie Swear. I lightly smiled. “I take pills to help fight off depression. Depression is a form of sadness that brings thoughts of suicide. Suicide is wanting to harm oneself to such an extent that you’ll kill yourself. I only take them because I want to live, after having a friend convince me that living is what matters. The pills produce a chemical called serotonin. Serotonin is what makes anyone happy.” I explained thoroughly. She amazingly understood. “You mean it’s like being really sad, but you want to.. Never be alive? And the .. Pills help make you happier?” She asked in a laymen context. “Yes.. That’s the gist of it.” I answered. “Well.. Uhm.. I’m sorry. I promise not to tell anypony.” She looked at me with a sincere look. I didn’t know her outside of the show. But she had the aura of trustworthiness in her. I started to trust her. Maybe a bit too much.. But.. She was my favourite pony. “Okay. Well.. Uhm.. This is Ponyville?” I asked as we finally entered the town. The tree in which Twilight was residing was just down the road. “Yup! This is Ponyville. Our wonderful little town!” She hung out a hoof, pointing to the entire town, and the town just stared at me. “Uhm.. They’re giving me funny looks.” I whispered softly into Rainbow Dash’s ear. “Well, I was shocked when I saw you too. It’ll wear off. Let’s go!” She started to trot to Twilight’s house. I only followed behind her as everyo-- Err.. Everypony was staring at me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 Chapter 4 “Wow, this is amazing!” The lavender coloured pony was looking at my entire body, gently prodding me with her hoof. “Uhm.. Yeah..” Rainbow Dash was brushing the back of her neck. This was an awkward situation. “A human! This is just perfect! I have to learn everything from you!” Twilight’s eyes glowed as she looked into my grey eyes. “Uhm.. Well, Twilight, we’re here to see if he could stay here. His ankle was hurt and he needs a place to stay. He can’t stay in my cloud home because he’s.. Well.. Not a Pegasus.” Rainbow Dash was beside Twilight now and Twilight was nodding excitedly. “Oh, yes! I’ll have him stay here! It’ll be perfect! I just need to arrange a bed for him and we’ll be all set.” Twilight looked at me. “Oh, sorry, who are you?” She calmed down a bit when she asked this. “Carl. My name is Carl.” I answered. Twilight smiled. “Nice to meet you, Carl.” Twilight turned back to Rainbow Dash. “Alright, I’ll look after Carl for you, Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash smiled and looked at me. “I’ll check up on you later, Carl. I kind of want to talk more about.. Y’know.” I knew what she meant. But.. Why did she want to talk about it? I nodded and she then waved to Twilight soaring right out the telescope’s window. “So, Carl, what can you tell me about your world?” Twilight started. I explained in full detail about the war Earth is enduring, the raping, the murders, the catastrophe, the global warming, economic crises. Everything that was horrible. “That’s awful! How could anyp--.. Anyone do such a thing?” Twilight looked deep into my eyes. “I know. But.. I just.. Don’t think of it. I hav--.. I had my friends. My family. They cared about me and wouldn’t let anything harm me. I also relied on the music I listened to. It calmed me, it saddened me, it made me happy. I enjoy being around those who care a lot and aren’t such a .. Negative Nancy.” I looked at Twilight’s unicorn horn. I saw it lightly glowing and a book floated right in front of me. “Sorry, I just had to grab this.” She flipped it open. It was a Dictionary. I saw the words ‘Negative Nancy’ pop up. “Somepony who is always putting other ideals or ponies dreams down…” She said aloud. “Sorry.. I just.. Don’t like feeling stupid.” Twilight sighed and closed the book. “You’re obviously not stupid, Twilight. The fact that you’re.. Interested in what I have to say requires some degree of intelligence. I mean..” I brushed my hair. It was.. Kind of dirt still. I could use a shower. “I like to talk about things others don’t. I love poetry, art, music. I mean, I wouldn’t perform in front of a crowd or write lyrics, but I would want to draw, listen to music and recite poetry or ’quotes’, as I’ve called them, to people.” Twilight looked at me in awe. “You know poetry? Can you.. Saw something that you humans recite?” I couldn’t help but oblige to Twilight’s request. “There’s obstacles in life that we face. Whether it be a rock, a person or a broken bridge, we face them. Hard, small, big or easy. It’s an obstacle. But, what everyone needs to realise is this: go over, go under, go around, or go through. But, never give up.” I finished with a bit of a blush. Twilight just smiled. “I’m impressed. That’s quite amazing!” She started to float a quill and parchment over to the Dictionary. She wrote everything I said. “Are you writing it down?” I asked. “Of course! It’s amazing. Why wouldn’t anypony who’s interested in literature not write it down?” she exclaimed and wrote down every word. Must have audio-memory, or something. “Thanks.. I think.. Uhm.. I kind of want to lay down.. I’ve.. Been kind of wondering what’s been going on. How I got here.. It seems like a dream come true..” I covered my mouth as I said the last part. “A dream come true..?” Twilight looked at me in curiosity. I couldn’t hide it now. “Uhg.. Back on Earth, .. Well.. There’s.. This show called.. Uhm… My.. Little Pony..” I quickly and quietly said the last part. “My Little what?” She asked. “My .. Little Pony. It’s.. A show. Where.. You all uhm.. All of you ponies are in it. It’s really a cartoon. The fact that I’m here seems like a dream. I already knew who all of you were.” I looked at her, being 100 percent honest, now. “Wait, you humans know who we are? And made a .. ’Show’ about us?” She looked at me and I nodded. “Wow! That’s soooo cool!” She smiled. “Wait, you don’t find that weird?” I asked. “Yeah! If you humans know of who we are, you must’ve visited Equestria before!” Twilight was frantically writing this down. I let her think that, and stood up. “I’m going to rest.. Where’s.. A bed?” Twilight stood up and lead me upstairs, pointing her hoof at the guest bed. It was small, but big enough for me. Thankfully being short comes in handy sometimes. I laid down on the bed and got comfortable. I think I immediately fell asleep. I wasn’t too sure. I just remember it being a good sleep. I was in Equestria. A Bronies dream…. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5 Chapter 5 “Hey!” I woke up with Rainbow Dash’s bright blue face in mine. “Jesus! You scared me!” I exclaimed, jumping lightly. “Jesus? It’s Rainbow Dash, silly.” She giggled as I sat up. “What’re you doing here, Rainbow?” I asked, looking into her .. Beautiful rose-y trimmed eyes. “What else? I told you I’d check up on you.” Rainbow Dash giggled and looked brightly into my grey eyes. She seemed very enthusiastic about seeing me. “What has you so excited?” I asked her. Initially I’d expect her to be out looping around and doing barrel rolls. Not in here with me. “Well.. Today I was wondering if you’d like to watch me perform some new tricks? All my friends are bu--” “Wait, I slept for an entire day?” I exclaimed, interrupting her, worried. “Yeah, but, it doesn’t matter though. Anyways, my friends are busy and you’re the only one I know who might want to.. Uhm.. Hang out.” She started brushing the back of her neck with her hoof neverously. “Well.. I will once I get a fresh pair of--” “Here you are!” She threw clothes in my face; interrupting me. “How did yo--” “Well you had dirty .. Uhm.. Pyjamas yesterday.. So I took the liberty of.. Maybe.. A tiny bit of.. Looking at the size of them and getting some made for you!” She interrupted me again. I looked at the clothes. Denim blue jeans with a bright blue shirt. “Well, let me get dressed, then.” I stood up, sliding off the bed, and felt a breeze. It was pretty cold. I had a strange feeling. All I heard was giggling behind me. I looked down and realised my.. “Oh dear God!” I quickly wrapped blankets around me and Rainbow Dash busted out laughing. “Rainbow!” I yelled at her. “Oh..! That’s rich! Hahaha! I didn’t know humans’ behinds looked like that!” She laughed hysterically. “Rainbow, that’s not funny.” I said. The comment made me worried whether or not I was good looking. I mean she is a Pegasus. But it still makes me wonder.. “I’m sorry. Go get dressed, please.” She smiled. The thought bugged me though. Maybe keep it for later. After about twenty minutes of getting dressed, in a very small bathroom space, me and Dash went out to a large clearing. There was a beautiful, glimmering, blue lake and a vast amount of flowers. Daisies, roses, tulips; you name it! “Alright, here we are! My home away from home!” Rainbow Dash started flying about. I watched her and sat in a small patch of grass. I respected their environment and didn’t really want to harm the flowers. They were relatively gorgeous. “Hey! Watch this!” She yelled in the air as I looked up. She ascended about, what I’d say to be, 100 feet and then descended. She swished past a large area of flowers and me. The peddles of the flowers broke off and it made a beautiful rainbow-like swirl. Unfortunately my hair was now all messed up. Not saying it was beautiful to begin with. “Hehe!” Rainbow Dash was giggling as I fixed my hair. “Having fun?” I looked up to meet Rainbow Dash’s rose-y eyes. She nodded. “It’s always fun. Too bad you can’t fly, though.” She lowered herself next to me. “Back on Earth, we have airplanes to fly. Large machines built to travel amazing distances and hold aerodynamic properties. You’re probably faster than our airplanes, though.” I said. Scratch that, though. She is faster than an airplane. She just giggled and took off again. She did a lot of barrel rolls and eventually started piercing the clouds. I enjoyed watching her. Her mane flowing into the wind. Her elegant figure defying the laws of physics themselves. Her existing just bringing joy to my heart. She truly was my idol at this point. Everything she was doing appeared to me in a sparkle haze, like you would see in some anime where a guy is staring at a girl and getting heart shaped eyes. To think of it.. I feel like.. I’m falling in .. No.. I’m not.. I.. “Hey! We have a storm coming in! We better head out of here!” Rainbow Dash pointed to large clouds being moved in by a few weather pegasi. I nodded and sat up, jogging lightly to Ponyville. Rainbow Dash was by my side in seconds. As we entered Twilight’s house, the rain started to fall and beat heavily on the tree. It scared most of the citizen’s of ponyville, seeing that normally they’re well informed of a storm. It must’ve been some order by Celestia, or something. “Whew. Close one.” Rainbow Dash shook herself of some rain that did catch us as we entered. She was shivering too. “Yeah..” I walked over to a couch that Twilight had laid out. Must be for me, because that wasn’t there before. I sat down and Rainbow Dash hopped up next to me. The couch was getting lightly damp, but she was still shivering. It was starting to bother me. “Rainbow, are you okay? You look cold.” I asked. “I.. I’m fine. It’s nothing.” She said, smiling gingerly. “Rainbow, hypothermia can take limbs off. I can see you shivering. Would you like a blanket?” I asked her. “Okay.. Yeah. Please?” Rainbow Dash blushed lightly. I stood up and went up to the bed I was sleeping in. I ripped off the covers and walked back downstairs. After I arrived back at the couch, I handed her the white blanket. Rainbow Dash quickly wrapped herself in it as I sat down next to her. “Thanks..” She said softly. I felt a warm mussel press against my side. “You.. You’re welcome Rainbow..” I said. She couldn’t see it, but I was blushing. I didn’t expect her to be this close to me already. I always thought she was one for doing other things than this. A bolt of lightning crashed down outside. It made Dash jump a bit, and she pricked my side lightly. “Are you okay Dash?” I asked. She nodded in return. “Yeah.. Uhm.. I know this’ll.. Sound weird.. But.. Will you hold me?” She looked up into my eyes. I didn’t expect this. All my thoughts were racing. While her beautiful eyes were staring into mine, all I thought was “YES! I’LL HOLD YOU!”, but she’s a Pegasus! How can I fall for a Pegasus? Completely an opposite species! But she is so amazing.. Uhg! Damn you, Carl! How can you be like this? My senses kicked in, and I had no choice. “Yeah.. Sure. If it’ll make you feel better.” I smiled to show that I was content. Rainbow Dash gently picked herself up and moved her forelimbs over my legs, laying her chest on my lap and her legs on my left side. She rolled over and I placed my arm under her head and cradled it into my arm. Like a child. Who was nearly as big as me. “Thanks, Carl…” She said. She sighed lightly, pushing against the right side of her chest. Her ear lightly felt the sound of my heart through my chest. I tried to keep calm, but couldn’t help but be excited. “Your heart.. It’s beating really fast.. Are you okay?” She didn’t open her eyes. My face flushed extremely red at this point. I mean, I had friends who were girls. Like, the ones you know all your life and all, but I never held a girl like this. Let alone, a Pegasus! “Yeah, yeah. Just.. You know.. Guys .. Err.. Need more.. Circulation and oxygen. Have to.. Get all the blood to the brain… erm..” I stuttered with my words a bit. “Like.. Uhm.. Girls, or mares, are usually smarter than guys, so need less oxygen to think.. And guys need more.. Cause we’re a bit headstrong. Y’know?” I fumbled a bit when saying that sentence. God, I’m stupid. “You’re funny, Carl.” She giggled and looked up at me. Her mussel extremely close to my lips. I felt her breath. It was warm. It smelled like mints. Like she brushed her teeth just seconds ago. I felt like.. Doing something drastic. But my nervousness overcame my lust. And thankfully, Twilight walked in. “Whew! Sure is rainy out there!” She exclaimed as she dispelled an umbrella. “Yeah.. Rainy..” A green and purple scaled little dragon walked in, soaking wet. “That must be Spike.” I said. Rainbow Dash was looking over at the mare and the dragon. “Yup! Number one assistant!” he said drying himself off of all the rain. “Hey, Twilight, mind if I stay here for the night?” Rainbow’s eyes were out of vision, so I couldn’t look at them for the time being. Let me think straight now, too. “Not at all. We can have a little sleepover.” Twilight smiled. “Why are you two cuddled up like that?” Spike looked confused as he walked over to the couch. “Well… Y’know.. It was raining and we were cold. And the lightning kind of scared us.” I nervously spoke. Rainbow Dash agreed. “Makes sense, I guess. I’ll be right back Twilight. I think I’m going to be in the basement. Gotta check up on that new Fire Ruby I’m maturing!” Spike quickly ran off to the inner-library, then into a door, going to his Fire Ruby. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6 Chapter 6 “So, what exactly do you do back on Earth?” Twilight asked. We were gathered in a small circle, sitting on these little cushions. I passed up on sitting on them.. Seeing as I might be too big for them. “I go to school. I was planning on going to University after I graduated high school. See, on Earth, schools are different. We go to school half our lives to get a good job. We don’t just get a cutie mark that proves our talent.” I explained to Twilight. “Hrm..” Twilight was pondering on my words. “Sounds boring. I hated school.” Rainbow Dash said. “You wouldn’t get anywhere in the human world. There’s a lot of people who use it to their advantage. Where I come from, we call these people ‘skids’. Ones who choose to do drugs and alcohol and waste their time and taxpayers dollars.” I crossed my arms. This was my true opinion on the matter. “Taxpayers?” Twilight and Rainbow Dash’s heads cocked lightly. “Well, we pay our government taxes so that our country has money to support everyone. The country I live in has free health care. But that’s because we pay a big tax amount. It’s about equality. In some countries, they barely have those rights.” I had a grim expression cross my face when I said that. “So, you’re a.. Democratic society? That’s interesting. It makes sense, though. I’m very intrigued by your race, Carl.” Twilight smiled and couldn’t help but pull down a camera from a shelf. “Mind if I take a picture? I want to make sure I remember you. In case you do leave.” I nodded when she asked. The picture flashed and Rainbow Dash made a funny face when it did. I was just smiling. “Thanks.” Twilight floated the camera back onto a shelf near her, and started back up again. “Well, do you have any friends back on Earth?” Twilight gave a weird expression to this. Like she thought I was a loner! “Of course I do. They’re really good friends, too. Like, my friend Scott, always makes me laugh. My best friends Alex and Dylan make me cheery and can hold an intellectual conversation.” I went on to explain some of the many friends I had. “Wow. Your life must be cool!” Rainbow Dash said. ‘Cool’ is an overstatement. My life seemed boring until I came here. Here I fit in.. But I worry.. A lot about home. “Yeah.. Sorta..” I made a little white lie, so that they wouldn’t know. “Why, look at the time! We should go and get some rest. Hopefully the rain will clear by tomorrow.” Twilight stood up, along with me and Rainbow Dash, and we walked up the stairs to be greeted by Spike snoring. “Shhh..” Twilight said as she crawled into her bed slowly. Me and Dash tip-toed past spike and I went on the right side of the bed, Dash on the left. “Nighty night!” Twilight whispered. The many candle lights in the room went out with the wisp of her magical horn. I rolled over and saw Rainbow Dash looking at me. “Hey.. Uhm.. Mind if.. I .. Cuddle up to you..?” Rainbow Dash whispered. Oh dear God, why?! Why is this happening? I mean, I’ve.. Always wanted this! But why, God? Damn you! “Of course..” I lifted some of the covers so she could move closer. She did immediately and had her hooves wrapped around my upper chest and her temple resting on the side of the pillow. Her body was warm, as I wrapped my arms around her, and lightly curvy. It had a bit of plush to it -- due to the fur and because she feels kind of like a marshmallow -- and a bit of hardness. As she is an athlete. Her tail lightly flicked and wrapped around my ankles. It was soothing and warm. It made the ankle pain I felted yesterday just wisp away (even though it was mostly gone by now.). Rainbow Dash started to lightly snore. It wasn’t loud, so, I could easily sleep through it. It was actually kind of cute. I couldn’t help but lightly chuckle.. But as I did.. Three words left my mouth.. “I love you..” I said, very quietly. My face felt as though it flushed immediately red and I hope to the Lord of Heaven and Earth that she didn’t hear me at all. Thankfully she just shuffled lightly and continued to sleep. I felt my eyelids getting heavy and I slowly started to fall into the miasma of this bed. The comfort of her body against mine made me feel at ease. The storm outside was no longer a bother. Everything was perfect and I fell asleep with not the slightest bit of trouble. I awakened. Alone, it seemed. I looked around the room and saw Rainbow Dash and Twilight downstairs giggling. I checked if I was unclothed again. Thankfully, I wasn’t. I got up and went downstairs. They both greeted me. “Good morning sleepy.” They both said. It was twelve in the afternoon, so, it made sense why they said that. “Morning..” I rubbed my eyes. It smelled like apple pies in the room, oddly. “Mmm.. What’s that smell?” I sniffed and asked. “We’re making some apple pies. We know humans probably don’t eat hay or anything like that. So, we just assumed that you probably eat fruits and vegetables.” Twilight stood on four hooves as she presented me an apple. I took it, willingly. I forgot that I haven’t ate in two days now. “Thanks.” I chomped into it. It tasted like heaven. The crunch was nice and juicy as the sugary cider, from the crushed apple spewed into my mouth. I delicately chomped some more. It was like I was having a foodgasm. “Mmm.. It’s good to eat something that I haven’t ate in a while..” I said. It was a green apple too. My favourite. “I assume that’s your way of ‘thanks’.” Twilight giggled. Rainbow Dash fluttered over to what looked like an oven and pulled out the apple pie. “It’s.. Kind of burnt at the crust.. But, I’m not the greatest baker!” She flew over with it in her gloved hooves, laying it down on a tray. “I don’t like the crust anyways. I just tear it off.” I said, looking down at it as I ate my apple. It looked delicious, but was too hot for the likes of my mouth. “You’ll have to wait for it to cool. Until then, why not eat some healthy things before chomping into it?” Twilight said, floating a bowl of what seemed to be a garden salad without the dressing. “I guess I could go for some greens.” I took the bowl and started to pick out the leafy greens inside. Seeing as I wasn’t given a fork, I guess it wouldn’t be un-netiquette for me to eat this way. “At least humans are omnivores. Can’t eat meat in Equestria.” Rainbow Dash said, giggling lightly. That giggle was starting to sound.. Err.. Never the mind. I just nodded, eating the greens. I hated the cherry tomatoes, though. Gross little things. Can’t handle them. “So, what are we going to do today?” I asked through a few chews. As polite as I could. “Well, I have to go help Zecora. I guess you two are on your own again.” Twilight said, floating her saddle-bag over onto her back. “I’ll see you two tonight.” She opened the door and left. “Uhm.. Okay..?” I looked at the door, finishing off my chews. “Meh. I had an idea in mind. Have you ever pulled any pranks?” Rainbow Dash fluttered upwards, looking at me. “Yeah, a few times. Why?” I asked, looking at her. Is this another episode of pulling pranks? “Well, I kind of wanted to do some. And Pinkie Pie -- My friend -- is busy today. So, would you want to?” Dash’s eyes lit up. How could I say no? “Yeah, sure.” I smiled as she flew in joy. “YAY!” She zipped around the room a few times, then landed. “Ohmigosh! We should prank my friend Rarity first! I know just the thing. C’mon!” Before I could protest, her forelimbs grabbing my arm, opened the door, and we ran right out to Rarity’s boutique. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7 Chapter 7 “Rainbow Dash!!” Rarity yelled as she had a bucket of ice cold water poured on her. Dash and I laughed hysterically as she whipped about and sprayed water everywhere. “Oh, Rainbow!” Rarity’s mane was now flat, instead of its usual curls, and she was flushing pink in a bit of anger. “Sorry, I just had to!” Dash was laughing still, and I couldn’t stop it either. “Oh, okay.. I guess it was pretty good..” Rarity started to laugh to. At least she can take a joke or two. “But, I do have things to attend to. Tata!” Rarity disappeared into the back of her boutique. Dash and I showed ourselves out. “Oh, that was great!” Rainbow Dash was wiping tears of joy from her eyes. “Yeah, that was fun.” I said; smiling from the ordeal. “So, who’s next?” I asked. “Carrot Top! That’s who!” Rainbow rushed me over to Carrot Top’s cart. Her idea was to replace all of Carrots’ carrots with apples and AppleJacks’ apples with carrots! It was brilliant! “Hey, Carrot Top!” Carrot Top was looking at Rainbow Dash, and they talked as I nabbed all the carrots off her cart, and moved slowly over to AppleJack’s, replacing them with the carrots and bringing the apples over to Carrot Top’s cart. I slowly moved away and then Rainbow Dash flew up in the air a bit, pointing to her cart laughing. “Oh, Rainbow Dash!” Carrot Top started to giggle. AppleJack looked to her cart as well. “RD! What in tar nations…?” AppleJack laughed and started to sort out the ordeal. Rainbow Dash flew to my side, as I started to walk away. “At least everyone can take a joke.” I grinned lightly over to Dash. “Yeah! They’re all great ponies!” She giggled that same, cute, giggle. “You know what else? It’s great to have friends like you, Carl. One who can just have a bit of fun and pull some pranks. I thought my friend Pinkie Pie was annoying until we pulled a couple pranks together!” Dash landed next to me. “Yeah..” I sighed lightly, looking at my feet, my smile going away. “What’s wrong?” Rainbow Dash looked up at me. “I…” I was about to cry and couldn’t bare doing it front of Rainbow Dash. I ran as fast as I could away from her. She didn’t follow. I’m glad she didn’t… The moon was beautiful tonight. As the horizon was lightly gilded as the sun was almost fully set, and the moon was just arching at 45 degrees in the sky. It was shining across Ponyville. I was sitting with my legs against my chest and my chin resting on my knees. My arms were wrapped around my legs and I had dried tears on my face. It was quiet, though. Just how I wanted it. Besides the few crickets and birds that croaked every now and then. Within the time I was sitting there, I calmed down. I just stared at the moon. The moon was the same everywhere. Beautiful. White. Round. Just.. Amazing. But at the moment I was thinking that, I heard a rustle of a few branches and grass behind me. I turned and saw Rainbow Dash. Her eyes reddened as from the tears in her eyes. “Carl..” She said softly, afraid to walk forward. I slowly moved aside. To show I wanted her next to me. She took the hint and slowly put her head low to the ground, and placed her rump on a small soft patch of dirt to the right of me. “Carl.. I’m..” She began. The tears started to roll down her face. “I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to.. I didn’t mean to hurt..” Dash sniffed and looked up at me. “Please.. I’--” I placed a finger gently on her lips. She was still tearing up, though. “It’s okay, Dashy. It wasn’t your fault.. I never told you how I felt about being here. I mean.. I’m excited. Glad. But.. I do miss my friends.. I should’ve told you how I felt about it. I over-reacted. I should be sorry. Not you.” I smiled to hopefully cheer her up. I exited my ’fettle’ position and sat in an Indian style pose. Legs crossed (Chris-cross-apple-sauce!). That thought made me want to laugh. But, it wasn’t appropriate. “I really am sorry, Carl.. I know you say it’s not my fault.. I just..” She started to sob. Her head falling onto my lap. Her tears immediately soaked my jeans. I slowly brushed her mane. “Dashy, it’s okay. I promise you.. It’s okay.. I..” Was it right to say the next thing? I couldn’t bare to tell her how I was starting to feel.. Everything was a rush.. Everything.. I mean.. I just got here. How can I fall in love with.. A girl I knew for two days?! I’m not even into animal fetishes! But.. She’s talking. She has emotions. Unlike some animals back on Earth.. Oh.. “Dashy..” I lifted her head. Screw it, I had to tell her! “Carl…” She sniffed. “Dashy.. I.. Oh, I’m going to be so embarrassed saying this.. But I’ve just..” I composed myself a bit further. “Dash. For the two, almost three, days I’ve been here.. I’ve felt something.. You’re wanting to be close to me so much.. It seems like I’m important to you. I can’t read your mind, or anything, but I know I’m somewhat important to you now. Dashy.. The cuddling last night.. It.. It was warm.. It made me feel alive. I never .. Really cuddled a girl.. Maybe a hug or two.. But.. Oh, God.. Fuck it.. Dash.. I love you.” I looked into her rose-y, tear washed, eyes. “Yo-you love me? B-but..” Rainbow Dash stopped crying. She blinked a few times, looking into my grey eyes. “Yes, Rainbow Dash.. I don’t know how.. Or why.. I just know.. That you’re the one who is right for me. You’re the girl I’ve wanted.. A girl who wants to be around me.. Even if.. You’re a Pegasus. I can get over that. Looks don’t matter.” She looked at me, bewildered, as if I was lying. “You’re.. You’re just lying. I know it!” Rainbow Dash wanted to pull away, but I stopped her. To prove I wasn’t lying.. I dove in and gave her a kiss. I kissed a girl before. Back in elementary. But she’s a Pegasus. So it was a lot different. My moist lips started to contort with hers, and she started to kiss me back. It started to be a bit of a turn on. I slowly brushed a spot behind her ear and she started to shiver in excitement. I very gently pulled away and looked at her. “I’m not lying, Rainbow… I really do love you.” I said, looking deep in her eyes. “I.. I ..” Dash’s face cheeks flushed red as she looked away. “I love .. You too..” She said, quietly, unable to look at me. “I.. Couldn’t catch that..” I ‘mused with her. “I.. Love you too..” She spoke a bit louder. “I need you to look at me for me to hear you, you know…” She turned directly at me and was blushing furiously. “I love you too, Carl!” She said and kissed me on the lips. I was pressed against the tree by her hooves on my shoulders. I was kissing her back, rubbing the sides of her athletic body. I could feel her tail, brushing back and forth, because I felt it hit my legs a few times. Dash was pretty good at kissing. Even though I’m no expert, it felt as though she practice on somepony. She pulled away slowly, looking into my eyes. Her saucer eyes stared with lust into mine. “I.. Carl.. I .. never asked anypony this.. Let alone a human.. But.. May I..” She looked down. Ironically, she was looking at my pants. I had, unfortunately, gotten an erection. As a teenager, getting one is bad enough. While kissing is just worse. “Uhm.. I.. We’re two different species.. But.. We probably.. Y’know.. Have the same parts.. And I was .. Wondering if.. I could..” She was blushing and avoiding my gaze. “Do you mean.. Uhm.. Sex..?” I clued in on what she meant. Mostly because she was looking at my erection. And the jean-boner didn’t help at all. “Yeah.. I.. If you want, I mean..” She looked away, to my right, as though I wouldn’t accept her. I mean.. I don’t have a fetish for fucking animals. But there’s been weirder. And as a teenager, I could use some sexual relief. And a bit of a relationship. With someone I love. Not some useless skank. “I.. I would.. I mean I do want to.” I said. I found myself brushing her hind leg, near her rump. I had a thing for wanting to do this. “Mmm.. Your.. Hands feel.. Nice there..” She closed her eyes, pressing herself against me. I could feel her heartbeat racing as I slowly brushed near her cutie mark. “Ohh.. Could you.. Rub my neck..?” Dash asked. I obliged, moving my hand to her neck and gently rubbed it. I grazed up and down her neck, very slowly, and kissed her softly and passionately. I’ve always wanted to take a slow, romantic, move into sex. I could feel her heartbeat pounding against my chest, though. I could tell she was getting turned on by this. “Ohh.. Carl..” She lips met my neck and she slowly started to kiss up and down where my jugular vein was. My heart started to beat faster. I could tell she was enjoy this as she started to lick my neck. I returned the favour by kissing her neck, slowly, brushing my hand up and down her body as I now started to pleasure a sensitive area for her. “Oh.. Carl.. I can’t take it anymore.. I just.. Want to do it right now.. Right here..” She said, looking into my eyes now. “Dash.. If you wait just a bit, and let me take you somewhere private.. I promise.. It’ll feel a lot better.” I said sincerely. She seemed convinced and, somehow with my adrenaline and sex drive, I picked her up and carried her to Ponyville. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9 Chapter 9 I felt sun beam on my face through the cracks of the shutters. It was hot and it woke me up immediately. I sat up, looking around. “Dash..?” I asked. There wasn’t a response. I was worried she left. “Oh.. I must’ve did something wrong last night.. Maybe that was a dream.” I stood up and realised that I was naked. I don’t think.. “Oh, sorry, I’m in the shower.” I heard a call from the bathroom. “Shower, huh?” I couldn’t help but get a bit aroused by that comment. “Yup. Want to join me? I bet you could use it.” Dash giggled. I couldn’t help but oblige and go to the bathroom. I walked in and saw her showering off in the small cubical. She was glistening like any human-girl would if they just dove into water. I took a step in and she handed me a bar of soap. “Here, you might want to wash yourself. And then after you can get my back!.. Please?” She smiled and I smiled back. I’ve always wanted to help shower a girl. I slowly brushed the soap against my skin. The bubbles immediately formed as I quickly washed my nether-regions. It was relaxing and felt great to have her watch. But, from this, I heard her giggle. “You humans have a lot to wash, don’t you?” I looked down at her and gave her a nod. “Yeah, a little bit. Now, let me wash your back.” I said. She immediately turned around as the shower was gently beating its waters against my chest. I dipped my head forward and started to sink the soap into her coat. I brushed up and down her spine and heard her gently moan from this. “Turning you on, hmm?” I said jokingly. “Uhm.. A little bit..” I could feel her blushing as I started to massage my hands into her spine. Dash was moaning even more as my hands pushed into her vertebrae. I could tell she was a bit tense. All athletes seem to have a lot of knots and aching backs. “Oh.. Carl.. Your hands…” Dash moaned and was pressing her head against the marble tiles of the shower cubical. “Would you maybe like a massage.. In your.. Other place?” I asked. I was nervous, but, thankfully it didn’t kill the mood. “Oh, yes.. Please.. But.. With your..” With that, I slowly inserted my penis into her velvet-crevice. It was very moist and warm. Mostly from the shower. I slowly thrust my manhood into her and massaged her spine. She was moaning intensely. “Ohh.. Carl…!” The water felt as though it was beating hard on us both. I was still pretty horny from last night and I could tell she was too (Mostly by the fact that she wanted shower sex.). But with that, I felt myself ejaculate. It was short. But, I knew she enjoyed it as I had a sense she had her orgasm again. “Ohhhhhh..” Dash moaned. I pulled out and continued to wash her back. Dash stopped me and turned around. I was still a bit erect, though. All this was a turn on. “I.. Want to taste..” Dash blushed, looking up at me. “Taste what? M--.. Ohhhhh..” I realised what she meant. “If.. That’s okay.” She looked at me with a smile. “Of course it is.” And then Rainbow Dash slowly wrapped her mouth around my penis. I leaned back against the wall of the small cubical shower. She slowly bobbed her head, back and forth, on my penis. I felt her velvet tongue caress the tip of my cock. My manhood was throbbing insanely; filling with blood as my heart started to pound faster. I felt her slide further down the shaft of my penis and her tongue started to gently lick my testicles. It was an amazing feeling having my dignity in her mouth. She was perfectly pleasing me. I couldn’t ask for anything better. “Oh.. God.. Dash..” I said. I was slowly rubbing the back of her neck as she bobbed faster. Her motions were swift and executed well. She slurped the head of my cock with her fine lips, gently swirling her tongue around it. She finally stopped for a second, and looked up at me. “Are you almost…?” I nodded. I felt myself ready to ejaculate again. She continued sucking on my penis. It was fast and well massaged. Her tongue was like rolling in KY jelly. It made me feel on-top of the world. This was the best feeling I’ve ever felt. I started to climax. I could feel my prostate glands starting to expel their white, sugary, juices. I felt the rush and sensation of my ejaculation. Right into her mouth. It felt like more than a teaspoon of semen entered her mouth. Dash immediately swallowed as it entered. She pulled off my cock and looked at me. “It tasted funny.. Like some salty candy.” Dash’s head was tilted and looking up at me. I couldn’t help notice how sexy her mane looked right now. Her mane was wet and neatly folded over her neck. “That.. Was amazing..” Was all I could process out of me. I slid down and sat at the bottom of the shower floor. Dash turned off the water and laid down, mostly on my lap. Even if the shower was small, it felt great to be this close to her. “Carl.. Do.. You still want to go back..?” Dash asked, her eyes looking down at my knees. I was surprised she asked this. I’ve felt so many things that were amazing here. What about my family? What about my friends? Will they ever know? I disappeared. But here, I don’t need my pills. I felt so happy! I didn’t need any of the stresses in my life now. School would be irrelevant as I have Twilight to help me learn new things. I would have a lot of friends here. I would also have a girlfriend, too. Rainbow Dash. But, I needed more time to think. “I’m.. Not quite sure yet, Dashy. I need more time to think. I love you.. But I still need to think it over. I won’t do anything drastic without telling you my decision. I promise.” I said with a sincere smile. Dash looked up at me. Her wet mane gently brushed against my left-upper leg. It kind of tickled, but I brushed it off. She had tears gently emerging in her eyes. “Please.. Don’t go.. I want you here, Carl. After all this.. You can’t just leave..” Dash had a very sad look on her face. Like when a dog cries because it can’t find it’s mother. Or when a little child just lost his favourite toy. “I know, Dashy. But I need time to think. These emotions are very much new to me. I just need to think over things. I won’t go yet. I promise.” I looked into her eyes, gently brushing her tears away. “Promise..?” Dash asked with a bit of a sniffle. “Cross my heart and hope to fly; stick a cupcake in my eye.” I said, laughing gently. She cued in with a laugh as well and stood up. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 10 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 10 Chapter 10 We were now at Twilight’s house. I totally forgot about that pie she baked me. I wanted to have a piece of it now, since I was starving. “Hey! Where were you two?” Twilight popped up from one of her books. From the label, it read ‘Human Physics.’. How she got it was beyond me. “We were.. Just.. Hanging out.” Rainbow winked over at Twi. I knew Twilight had something to do with this. “Want that pie now, Carl?” Twilight cued the question. I nodded insanely. The pie flew over to me and I pulled out an already cut piece. I started to nom on it, chewing the delicate apples inside. “Mmmmm..” Was what I processed through my chews. Dash and Twilight couldn’t help but giggle. I sat down at the couch, eating my pie, as Twilight and Rainbow went upstairs. I assumed they were going to 'girl-talk' about last night. I could hear everything, though. "So, what'd you all do last night?" Twilight asked. "Well.. We.. Did a few pranks.. Then we stared at the moon.. Then we went to the Hay and Stay.. And then we.. Y'know.." I could hear Dash giggling with Twilight. "Did the spell work for his.. Y'know?" Twilight asked. "Yeah.. It even lasted until this morning. When we had a bit of.. 'Shower fun'." Rainbow was giggling insanely now. I couldn't help but laugh lightly myself. As I ate my pie I threw the crust into the dish. I stood up, walking away from their private conversation, and started to browse the books. "Anatomy of a Pony.. Properties of Matter.. Rainbow Philosophy.. Clouds--.. Wait, what?" I looked back at Rainbow Philosophy. I couldn't help but notice that this was in a song. Weird how it was here though. "Hope ponies don't kill each other like those Fan fictionists wrote." I said to myself. I pulled a book out from the shelf to amuse myself. It was labelled 'Chemical formulas'. I always had a thing for chemistry, so, why not? I flipped through and found some interesting things: The properties of a Rainbow, physical and chemical reactants of lightning striking the ground, et cetera. It was truly fascinating me. "Enjoying yourself?" Twilight asked as I was flipping through the book. "Yeah. I liked science.. So.." I put it back on the shelf. Rainbow Dash was nuzzling my side. "Look, Carl.. Uhm.. I found a spell that can send you back to Earth. If you wish to leave." Twilight had me sit down on the couch. Rainbow Dash wasn't smiling, though. She didn't want me to leave. "Well.." I thought about it for a couple minutes. Should I stay here? Leave all my friends, my family, my entire life behind? Everything I knew? All the games I had?.. I was in love with Rainbow Dash. I'm a fifteen year old teenager who loved a Pegasus. It seemed so unlikely that I would be even physically attracted to her. I love her. God damn it, I love her! If my family and friends knew, they would understand.. I think I have made my choice. "Well.. Now that I .. Had time to think.." Rainbow Dash's ears perked up. She looked like she wasn't ready for the answer. "I'm..." I looked at Twilight. Even she looked upset if I chose to leave. "Going to stay." With that, Rainbow Dash jumped on me and started giving me kisses galore. "Yay!! Carl's staying!" I wrapped my arms tightly around Dashy. I know it felt wrong of me to make this choice. But I was happy here. That's what matters. "Welcome to your new home then, Carl." Twilight smiled, looking at me with her purple eyes. "Thanks.. And Dashy.." Dash stopped kissing me for a moment and looked into my eyes. "I love you. And I don't ever want to stop loving you." I smiled and gave her a warm and gentle kiss on her lips. Everything turned out great for everyone. Even if I was gone forever from Earth, everyone knew I was in a better place. I am in a better place. A place where I'm happy. Where no one is completely rude. Where everyone works with each other. Well, everypony. It's astonishing. I'm glad I made this choice. Because I was going to live forever in Equestria. And I wouldn't regret a single moment of it. -Epilogue- "Carl?" I saw Rainbow Dash enter into the small hut that I was residing. "Yeah?" I looked at her with glee. It was enjoying to see her everyday. And get the.. little fill of excitement every now and then. "I just wanted to know how you were doing.. y'know.." She was kicking gently at the wool carpet underneath her. "Are you sure that's what you're here for..?" I winked gently over at her. "No, no, not that. I mean.. I'm worried that you miss your--" "Rainbow Dash, I don't regret anything. I made my choice. I'm not going to leave." I interrupted her. It was slightly rude, but, I felt it necessary. She just looked at me. Dash put a smile on her face now. "C'mon, Pinkie Pie and I have a surprise for you." Rainbow Dash quickly grabbed me and we whisked out of my hut and straight into town. After a couple minutes of rushing, we arrived at Sugar Cube Corner. Rainbow Dash gently poked me inside with her forehooves and as I entered, it was unusually dark. Very unusual for Sugar Cube Corner. The lights quickly flickered on. And I saw Pinkie Pie jump in front of my face, yelling: "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" The room was filled with large, pink, purple and white streamers. The pink and white walls were covered in confetti and had banners with the words: 'Happy Birthday Carl!' on them. It made me smile. I was glad they knew when my birthday was. But it made me think of my family. I hope they're all right back at home. I really do. "Wait, what? How'd you know my birthday?" I asked, looking around the room. "Well.. I did some prying. I eventually figured it out." Rainbow Dash was whistling slyly. "Well, thanks." I said, smiling. The music was blaring loud. I saw Vinyl Scratch, Unfortunately, I couldn't really look at her properly without getting the image of a bad story I read on FIMfiction -- before I came to Equestria, of course. "Dear God..." I said. I felt a slight tug on my jeans as I saw Dashy looking up at me. "C'mon. Let's open up some presents." Dashy smiled. I gladly obliged. It's been so long since I've last opened one. And anything from my new friends was something great. I loved them so much. They were my new family. How could I not love them? Only.. I felt something was wrong.. Something.. Unbalanced.. Something.. Bah.. Maybe it's nothing. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8 Chapter 8 I opened the door of one of the rooms of the ‘Hay and Stay Hotel’ and quickly closed it as I laid Rainbow Dash on the bed. I never actually had sex before, so, this will be my first time. With a mare. Kind of good, kind of bad, but never the less.. “Oh.. Carl..” I laid on-top of her, not putting my full weight on her, and started to kiss her neck. Her forelimbs wrapped around my head as she slowly moaned in excitement. “Carl.. Stop teasing me.. Please.. Just.. Ohh..” I grazed her stomach gently, at this point, with my warm hand. I pushed myself lower on her, kissing down her chest, and then to her stomach-like area. It was peculiar to see the nipples right here, but I ignored it, none-the-less. I felt hooves gently pushing the top of my head as I proceeded further down to her.. ‘general area’. “Please..” She moaned lightly. “Carl.. I want this so bad.. I love you..” With that, I gently went for it. Although I was a virgin, I still understood the vagina very well. I slowly started to lick it. I was worried that what guys said about ‘taste like chicken, keep on licking! Taste like trout, get the fuck out!’. But in fact, it had a sugary-salt taste to it. Thank goodness it wasn’t true. “Oh.. Yes.. Just.. Move your tongue up a bit..” She moaned. I followed her instructions and moved my tongue up a bit. Here is where I found the fold of skin called the clitoris. It’s thin pink line gently glistened as I swirled my tongue around it. “Ohh.. By Celestia..!” Rainbow moaned louder as I rolled my tongue across it. I slowly wrapped my arms around her hind-legs and was holding her in place. I started to press her clitoris with my tongue. It seemed to rile her, as she moaned even louder, and I pressed further on the clitoris. Then, I slide my tongue gently into her vagina, piercing only a little way in. but it seemed to make her giggle. That giggle was really sexy. “Oh.. Carl..” I felt her hind-legs gently push my upwards to her face. “Carl.. I think that’s enough.. It’s time for you..” She looked at my pants. I went ‘soft’ on the way to the hotel. But all this gave me another erection. “May you.. Remove your.. Clothes?” Dash asked lustfully. I nodded and slowly took off my shirt. I was average for a guy. No six-pack or anything. Just a bit of fat, but not overweight. The in-between. I then slowly started to unbutton my jeans and slid them to my ankles. I stepped out of them and was standing in boxers. “Let me do the rest..” She flopped forward, onto her stomach, and placed her hooves on my hips. I was standing at the edge of the bed, now, and she slowly slide my boxers down. My erection slowly showed and she stared at it. I was worried it wasn’t good enough as it only stood as the average guy back on Earth. And I assumed Colts here were like Colts on Earth: Massive. “Wow.. That’s ..” She looked at my penis further. “Is it .. Not good enough?” I was looking down at my penis. Worried further now. “No.. It’s.. perfect..” Dash smiled as she blew a channel of air on it. I couldn’t help but shiver. She slowly enveloped her mouth around my penis, letting it slide deep into her. Her velvet tongue gently brushed under the tip of my penis, and the top of my ‘head’ was gently brushing the roof of her mouth. She also made a light moan, which turned me on even further. “Oh.. God.. Dash..” I gently brushed her mane. I was enjoying this. I never knew a blowjob felt this great in my life. She gently pulled away, looking up at me. “Does it feel alright..?” Dash asked. Her lustful rose eyes stared at me. “It feels amazing..” I said. With that, she immediately dove back in. She bobbed back and forth, slowly licking around the length of my penis. It felt perfect for me. I was relaxed and all my hairs on my arm were standing up. After a minute or two of bobbing, she pulled off. “Well.. Do you think you could check your pocket for something?” She asked. I was surprised and did it anyways. “What would you want in my poc--” As I checked the pocket of my jeans, I found a condom. Where in Equestria did she get this? “Twilight made it.. I .. kind of fell in love with you the minute I saw you..” Dash blushed. I just smiled and opened the packet. I saw diagrams of how to put a condom on. So, this wasn’t going to be hard for me. I slide the condom slowly around the tip of my cock, then rolled it down the shaft. All this time, Dashy giggled. “Are you ready?” I asked, as I slowly crawled onto the bed, and she started to roll herself around until she was on her back, and her head against the baseboard. “I’m more than ready, Carl..” Dash gave me a playful-sexy look as her vagina was fully exposed. It glistened in the dim light of the hotel room. I couldn’t help but feel like I was getting harder from this. I eased myself closer to her, laying myself on-top of her, wrapping my arms around her. I slowly started to kiss her neck as I slid my I slid my manhood directly into the crevice of velvet and pink folds. As I did this I heard moans of pleasure and pain come from Dash’s mouth. This was obviously her first time. I would’ve expected her to be the kind of Pegasus all colts would want. “Oh.. Celestia.. Carl.. Please.. Stop teasing me..” Dash begged. I obliged to start thrusting gently into her. She moaned and I could feel tears gently dripping down on my forehead as I kissed her neck. Was I really this big? Or was she really tight? The condom was removing half the pleasure. I didn’t mind, though. It was extraordinary. As I gyrated more thrusts into her, the tears started to stop and her moans increased from hurting to pleasure. “Oh… Oh..!” Dash riled in ecstasy. I started to gently speed up my pace. This was my first time too. So, I wanted us to both enjoy it. As I did so I rose from her neck and grabbed her hind-legs, placing them at each side of my hips. The missionary position. I’ve always wanted this with a girl.. Or mare, in this case. I was thrusting deeper into Dash and the moans turned into light screams of please. “Oh! Yes! .. Yes!” Dash lightly yelled. Her eyes were cringed and I could tell she was enjoying it. As I tried to continue, I felt her push me off and she opened her eyes. “I’m.. Sorry.. Take that condom off.. I forgot to mention Twilight did something to .. Y’know..” Dash blushed increasingly. I could only help but be content with the request. I’ll now have the full pleasure of sex. As I took the condom off, Dash laid back for me again, and I re-inserted my penis. I felt extreme pleasure was her lubricated vagina was now warmly and tightly wrapping around the shaft and tip of my penis. It was ecstasy now for me. I couldn’t help but let this out: “Oh.. God.. That’s amazing..” I tilted my head back in pleasure as I began thrusting. Dash moaned increasingly now and was pushing herself against me as I was gyrating myself into her. I could feel an overwhelming pleasure fall onto me as I was nearing my point. As a virgin -- and only ever masturbating -- I could tell I wasn’t going to last long. I pushed myself a bit slower and a lot deeper into her. She screamed in an arousing tone. I was looking down at where I was thrusting and found that a bit of blood was covering my shaft. I must’ve broken her hymen now. “More! More, Carl! Please! Ohhhhh!” Dash screamed again. I started to speed up. As much as I didn’t want to, I wanted this to be the best night of her life. I was nearing my breaking point and I can feel more of her vagina’s lubricants surrounding my penis. It was orgasmic, literally. “Oh.. Dash.. I’m.. Going.. To..” I tried to hold back for as long as I could. I was thrusting faster now, but, holding in my urge to ejaculate. I found it quite tough. How any guy does it was beyond me at this point. “Ohhh! Yes!.. YES! Carl!!” Dash yelled. I couldn’t contain myself any longer. “GAAAAaaah!…” I ejaculated. Luckily, at the same time, Rainbow Dash had her orgasm. Releasing a flow of dense juices within my semen. I collapsed into her chest, wrapping my arms around her, kissing the bottom of her neck softly. She was lightly moaning and was rubbing my shoulder blades with her forelimbs. It was true bliss and ecstasy, at this point, as I let out long sighs. My heart was beating out of my chest, our bodies extremely sweaty, and warm. “Carl… Ohhh..” Dash let out a soft moan as I pulled out of her. The though of the semen seeping out of her velvet-crevice was disgusting. But thankfully, it didn’t. I assumed Twilight helped with that. I crawled up next to her, now, wrapping my arms around her and cradling her head onto my chest. “I.. Dashy..” I said, breathing heavily. “Dashy.. I .. Love you so much..” Dash looked up at me with a smile, and kissed my neck. I wouldn’t want to kiss her at this point. The thought of having her vaginal juices mix with where her mouth was earlier.. Yuck. “I love you too..” Dash said softly. At this point, I lost track of what happened. All because I fell asleep…
