Fallen Angel
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA blue light blinded Gohan. An image of a knife flashed through Gohan's mind, followed by a searing pain near his right eye. Gohan awoke with a start breathing heavily. Those images had haunted him for many years. He looked around at his surroundings. He was still on the same cloud but now it was next to Rainbow's cloud-house. The sun was setting and the moon was rising. Rainbow came out of nowhere a gentle smile on her face.
"About time you woke up. Want to tell me what all that was about?" she asked
"Sorry Rainbow, but I can't tell you yet." He said looking down and to the side feeling guilty.
"Its fine Gohan, I understand." They sat on the cloud together, Rainbow resting her head against Gohan's neck and Gohan draping his wing over her back. Gohan took in a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"Three weeks." He said. Rainbow looked up at him, confused by the unclear message.
"What?" He smiled down at her.
"I'll tell you in three weeks, when your parents come to visit, this concerns them too."
"If you want to tell us, then we'll listen to you."
"I love you Rainbow." Gohan said pulling her closer.
"I love you too Gohan" she said snuggling closer to him. They sat in silence for the next few minutes until the moon was out. Gohan looked down at Rainbow and smiled. Realizing she was asleep Gohan lifted Rainbow onto his back and jumped onto the porch of the cloud house. Using his magic to open the door he walked into the house. It had a section that led to the kitchen and the room they were in was the living room. Gohan walked down a hallway that held to doors, one led to Rainbow's room the other led to a bathroom. Gohan walked into the Rainbow's room and gently placed Rainbow on the bed and curled up on the floor next to the bed draping his right wing over her like a blanket. Within minutes he was asleep.
Gohan awoke the next morning to find Rainbow peering down at him. Gohan smiled up at her.
"Good morning Rainbow." He said happily. She giggled lightly
"Good morning Gohan. What are you doing sleeping down there?" she asked giggling and eyes shining brightly.
"I slept down here, wasn't about to climb in bed with you without your permission." He said shyly
"Well, I give you permission for all future occasions." She said trying not to laugh. When she couldn't hold it in any longer Gohan joined her.
"Well Rainbow, I need to go talk to Pinkie, I'll be back later."
"Okay see ya later Gohan." She said waving happily as he walked away.
Gohan walked into Sugar Cube Corner a few minutes later, running head first into the crazy party pony known as Pinkie Pie. They both fell back and put a hoof to their foreheads and laughed a little. Pinkie looked up and realized it was Gohan.
"Oh, hey Gohan, what's up?" Pinkie asked curiously.
"Hey Pinkie, I wanted to apologize for last time." Gohan said once again feeling guilty.
"Its fine Gohan, I shouldn't have insisted on a party so soon." She said brightly
"That's the other thing I wanted to talk about, let's throw a party, but just a small one of our best friends."
"Sure Gohan, we'll keep it small just: you, me Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy." She said her blue eyes shining brightly.
"Good to hear Pinkie." Gohan said happy to have made up with Pinkie.
"Well Pinkie, I have a promise to twilight to keep."
"Ooh can you deliver these to her since you're on your way there?" she asked holding out a box of cupcakes.
"Sure, later Pinkie." Gohan said levitating the box in the air and heading towards the library.
Within minutes it was in sight. Gohan walked up to the door and knocked, a second later a light purple aura shone around the door it opened revealing twilight standing there.
"Hi Gohan, what are you doing here?" she asked happily
"Well I was just talking to Pinkie and she asked me to deliver these to you, also I remember promising a certain somepony to teach her T.D.T., A.K.A Trans-dimensional Teleportation." He said winking.
"Well come on in Gohan, Spike could you get us some cider?" Twilight called out. A purple and green baby dragon popped around a corner when she called.
"Sure thing Twilight." He said and saluted before zipping away. Twilight and Gohan walked to the center of the room, where Gohan set the box down on a table against the wall.
"So Twi, are you ready to start training?" Gohan asked a perfectly focused look on his face.
"Sure, let's do it." Twilight replied an equally focused look on her face.
Gohan walked out of Twilight's house a few hours later. Gohan shot into the night sky and took off towards Rainbow's house. Gohan and Rainbow arrived home at the same time.
"How was your day Rainbow?" Gohan asked smiling.
"Good, yours?"
"Fine, c'mon I'll make us some dinner."
"Wait, you know how to cook?" Rainbow asked skeptically
"Yeah, what do you want for dinner?" Gohan asked a confident smirk on his face.
"Hmm, I want spaghetti with garlic bread." She said happily
"Piece of cake." They walked into the house and into the kitchen. Rainbow sat down at the table while Gohan started levitating ingredients in front of him. Rainbow sat amazed as Gohan made the sauce, boiled the noodles and baked the bread all at the same time. Fifteen minutes later Gohan placed a plate in front of Rainbow and motioned for her to try it. Rainbow slowly raised a fork and bit into the spaghetti, her eyes sparkled and she gasped happily.
"Gohan, this is delicious. How did you learn to cook like this?"
"I taught myself." Gohan said, a half-cocky smirk on his face. Rainbow started digging in and Gohan joined her. Within minutes dinner was finished. Gohan and Rainbow climbed into bed. Rainbow wrapped her forelegs around Gohan's neck and Gohan wrapped his wings around her.
"Good night Gohan, I love you." Rainbow said giving Gohan a kiss and snuggling up against him.
"I love you too Rainbow." Gohan said, happily pulling her closer.
