Chapter 11: Training Memories, and a Heated Kiss(Edited)

The trip back to Ponyville was pretty long. It felt kinda longer than the last time I was on this train. My mind was still spinning a little around the memory that Celestia and Luna had shown me before I left. Even though some of the questions I needed answered were answered, I was still lost in thought. What happened to Queen Sun Burn and King Black Knight? If the sword that Jon received from Sun Burn was created here, then how did my grandfather get it?

I looked up out the window and saw the sun slowly setting. I then looked down at Pipsqueak, who was snuggled close to me, taking one of his naps. I smiled warmly and softly stroked his mane, making him snuggle closer to me. I sighed softly and looked back out the window. I then closed my eyes and remembered some of my training days with my grandfather.

(Flashback: Five years ago)

"Stay on your toes! Have a quick mind! Keep pushing forward!"

CRACK-BOOM!

"Don't give up! Believe in yourself!"

"HA! YA! HA! HA! YA! HA!"

Rain, thunder and lighting kept coming down as me and my grandfather Errick continued our training in the rain. My grandfather's home was pretty big, able to fit a few good handful of people. The house was surrounded by a couple of beautiful japanese trees, and flowers.

Errick threw a right hook, and followed it up with a low sweep kick.

I managed to dodge the hook, but didn't see the low kick. When the attack made contact, I fell to the ground, landing on the wet muddy ground. I opened my eyes and saw Errick throwing me a punch, but I quickly rolled and dodged the attack. I got back up on my feet and charged at Errick, and started throwing punches and kicks.

Errick started blocking the attacks with his arms and dodged them, hoping I will tire out soon.

I then saw an opening and went for an uppercut to his face. The attack made contact and he stumbled back a little. I charged again and threw a punch to his gut, making him fall to the ground, and making me land on top of him.

I breathed heavily as the rain continued to pour down on us. I slowly got up and offered my hand to my grandfather.

He smiled and took it.

I lifted him up off the ground and we both head inside for a break.

When we got in, Errick opened a cabinet and threw a towel to me and I caught it, and started drying myself off.

"You've done well Daniel. I'm very proud of you." Errick said smiling at me.

I smiled back. "Thanks grandpa. I can't believe I've gotten this strong in such short time, but I know the road ahead of me is still long and rough."

"It is, but I know you can do it." He walked up to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "As long as you have something to fight for, as long as you believe in your heart and never give up, your soul will never die. Remember that."

I smiled and hugged him. "I will. Even through the ends of time itself."

Errick smiled and hugged me back. "I'll always love you my boy...always."

(Flashback End)

I opened my eyes and breathed deeply. I felt some tears leaking from my eyes and wiped them away.

"Hey, Daniel."

I looked to my right and saw Rainbow hovering over next to me.

"You okay?" She asked.

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, just remembering some old times with my grandfather."

Rainbow sat down and scooted a little closer to me. "What was your grandfather like?"

I smiled warmly and looked back outside. "He was the wisest man I ever knew. He knew what was right and what was wrong. He always knew how to brighten up my days and show me the way to my brightest future." I then felt Rainbow leaning on my shoulder, causing me to blush a little, but I smiled and continued. "My grandfather was always there when I needed him. We had so many good times together, and we always show happiness to each other."

"Wow. I wish I can meet him someday." Rainbow said with a little awe in her words.

"I'm probably sure you will." I said, but then smirked. "By the way, is there something you like about you leaning on my shoulder?" I asked in a teasing way.

She then looked at me and realized she was resting her head on me and she darted up quickly with a small blush on her cheeks. "I-I-I don't know what you're talking about." She said darting her eyes away from me.

I chuckled. "Sure. I believe you."

She stuck her tongue at me and flew back with the others, making me chuckle a little.

After around another twenty minutes, we finally reached Ponyville. We collected our belongings and we all headed back to the library.

"Daniel, can I stay with you at the Library tonight?" He asked nervously.

I looked at him and saw a hint of fear in his eyes. He eyes also showed signs of pleading, wanting to stay with me. My mind drifted a little back from the hospital. He did have a nightmare about his parents, and I believe he lost them, but I didn't want to bring that up right now because I wanted him to feel comfortable around me and stay happy.

I smile and kneeled down to his height. "Of course you can."

He smiled happily and hugged me. "Thank you, Daniel."

I scooped him in my arms and carried him in the Library. When I got in, I was greeted to a soft "Hoo" sound. I turned and saw an owl with cream feathers and an orange beak.

"Hey there little guy. You don't bite right?" I asked while holding my hand out.

"Hoo." The owl perched on my shoulder and nuzzled me a little.

I smiled and stroked the owl's feathers, which felt soft to my touch. "So little guy, do you have a name?" I asked the owl.

"Hoo?"

"You. Do you have a name?"

"Hoo?"

"Love of peat, I'm...wait a minute, I know what you're doing." I laughed a little. "You almost got me."

"Hoo."

"Hoo to you two." I said and then me and Pip laughed.

"Oh, I see you got acquainted with Owlicious." I looked back and saw Twilight smiling at us.

"Owlicious? That's a mouthful." I said looking at the owl.

Twilight giggled. "I know what you mean. He's been helping me and Spike around the library for a while."

"Well, aren't you a helping hand?" I asked the owl.

"Hoo." He got off my shoulder and landed onto a perch and looked at us.

"Daniel." I looked down at Pipsqueak, who had very droopy eyes. "I'm sleepy."

I smiled warmly and embraced him. "Alright little rascal, I'll tuck you into bed."

"When you're finished with that, me and the girls are gonna be having a slumber party in the Living room. You're more than welcome to join us if you want." Twilight offered while smiling.

I smiled. "I would love to join you girls. This can also give me a chance to bond with you all better."

Twilight gave me a toothy smile. "Great!"

"However, I want Pipsqueak to get his sleep. Since you're a Unicorn, do you think you can cast some kind of spell that can allow him to sleep peacefully without any noises?" I asked.

"Oh, of course. I know a soundproof spell that can block out the noises so he can get his proper sleep." Twilight explained.

I smiled. "Awesome. You're an amazing friend, Twi."

Twilight blushed, but smiled. "You're a great friend as wel,l Daniel."

The two of us walked upstairs and entered Twilight's room. I placed Pipsqueak on my bed and pulled the covers over him, keeping him warm.

"Goodnight, Pip." I whispered.

"Goodnight, Daniel." He whispered back.

I smiled warmly and stroked his mane and then left the room with Twilight. When we got out of the room, I closed the door behind me and Twilight activated the soundproof spell, keeping any unnecessary noises from entering the room so Pip could sleep peacefully.

With that done, the two of us walked downstairs and saw Rarity and the others in a circle.

"SLUMBER PARTY!" Pinkie shrieked and pulled out eight sleeping bags.

I still don't understand where or how Pinkie got them, but better not to know due to the others.

Me and Twilight sat near our bags. "So...what should we do first?" I asked breaking the silence.

"I know!" Pinkie then pulled out a green glass bottle and placed it in the center. "Now that we have a boy, let's play spin the bottle."

From that, AJ and Rainbow were all in for it, however, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy were a little nervous.

"I don't know Pinkie. I mean, I just don't want Daniel to do something he's not comfortable with." Twilight said.

"I'll play." I said getting their attention. "It's been awhile since I ever had a chance to play something like this. I'm in for it."

"See Twi, he’s okay with it!" Rainbow said.

"Oh, okay." Twilight said smiling a little.

"I'll go first." Rainbow grabbed the bottle and spun it. After a few spins, the bottle surprisingly landed on me. "Okay Daniel, truth or dare?"

I placed my hand on my chin and thought for a moment. "Hmmm...you know, I'm feeling pretty confident right now, so I'll go with dare." Any dare she'll throw at me will be a walk in the park. No way she'll catch me off guard.

Rainbow smirked. "I dare you to take off your shirt."

Okay, that caught me off guard.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight scowled.

"What?"

"Why would you ever dare to do something like that!?"

"That is truly unlady like Rainbow." Rarity huffed.

"Oh please Rarity, like you're one to talk. I saw you, Fluttershy and Daniel going to the spa weeks ago, and I know Daniel had to take his shirt off, and I know you and Fluttershy saw his bare chest." Rainbow countered.

That little statement cause the two to blush deeply.

I sighed. "I guess I have no other choice. I mean, it is a dare." This dare didn't bother me a lot. It wasn't like I had to take off my pants or anything, well, from that time I had to take my pants off for Rarity to do my measurements, but that doesn't count. I slowly grabbed the bottom part of my shirt and slowly took it off. After my shirt was off, I placed it to the side, and I was blushing. I looked at the girls, and all of them were blushing.

Rarity, AJ, and Fluttershy's blushes were not as great as the others, since they saw me like this before, but were still deep.

Twilight's blush was so deep, her face was almost red. She kept darting her eyes away from me, and then looking at my chest again. Guess this is her first time seeing a guy’s bare chest in front of her.

Rainbow had a small blush on her cheeks, probably not knowing I was well developed.

It was hard to tell if Pinkie had a blush on her cheeks since her fur was pink, but judging from the way she's looking at me, I can probably tell she's blushing.

"Wow Daniel, never thought you look so well developed." Rainbow said breaking the silence.

"Umm...thanks." I said quietly still blushing."Umm...do I have to keep it off for the rest of the game, or can I put my shirt back on?"

"Sorry, you gotta keep it off for the rest of the game." She said smirking.

Oh, I'm gonna get back at you Rainbow, if I can get the bottle to land on you. "Alright, my turn." I grabbed the bottle and spun it. After a bit, it landed on Rainbow Dash. Payback time.

"Alright Rainbow, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Dare." She said smirking.

I smirked back. "I dare you not to use your wings for the rest of the night." Knowing that she loves flying, this was the best dare I can think of.

She went wide eyed, while the others smirked a little.

"Ooooh, good one Danny." Pinkie chirped while giggling.

I looked back at Rainbow and smirked in victory. "Now we're even."

Rainbow glared at me. "Oh, I'm gonna get back at you."

"I like to see you try." I challenged.

Rainbow smirked and took the bottle and spun it. Her smirk lessened when it landed on Twilight. "Shoot. Well, I'll get you next time."

I rolled my eyes and waited for the two mares to make their move.

"Truth or dare Twilight?" Rainbow asked.

"Knowing you with your dares, I'll go with truth." Twilight replied.

"Oh, you're no fun. Okay then do you...clop?" Rainbow asked.

Clop? What the hell is that? Some kind of activity that involves with their hoof like feet? Stomping their feet around? I then felt a tap on my shoulder and looked at Applejack, motioning me to come to her. I slid close to her and she whispered in my ear.

"It's slang for masterbation."

…...Okay, now things just got awkward. A huge blush formed on my cheeks and I slid back to my spot, while AJ giggled at my expression.

Twilight however had an even stronger blush, because her entire face went red. "Well...I...umm…"

"You're stalling. That means you DO clop." Rainbow huffed in victory.

"Okay, I do clop." She replied in shame while looking down.

Knowing she felt embarrassed with herself in such an activity, I decided to step in and help her. Clopping...if that's how it's told here, is completely normal. I placed a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me.

"Hey, there's no reason to feel bad about clopping, Twilight. Even I...well, clop as well." They all looked at me with surprise, and that caused me to blush deeply. "It's hard living alone without having somepony in your life. Clopping is normal to us all. There's no reason to be embarrassed about it. I know there are a lot of ponies out there that might clop as well."

My talking seemed to work, because Twilight's blush lessened and she smiled at me. "Thank you Daniel. I needed that."

The blush on my cheeks lessened, but remained. I gave Twilight a small smile. "Anytime Twi. Your turn now."

She nodded and spun the bottle around. The bottle stopped and landed on Pinkie.

"Truth or Dare Pinkie?"

"Dare!" Pinkie chirped.

Twilight smirked. "I dare you to not eat anymore sweets for the rest of the night."

Pinkie's eyes went wide as dinner plates and her jaw dropped. Guess she really must like her sweets.

"AWWWWW! That's not fair!" Pinkie whined.

Twilight snickered. "Sorry, but those are the rules."

"Does Pinkie love sweets that much?" I asked Twilight.

She rolled her eyes and responded dryly. "Afraid so. She eats so much sugar every day. She doesn't know when to quit. She eats two plates of a dozen cookies and eats a lot of cake."

My eyes widened. She eats that much sweets!? How can she still stand after consuming that much? Not only that...how can she not have diabetes after eating that much sugar everyday? If I ate that much, I would collapse, and grow diabetes immediately. I'm gonna have to talk to Pinkie about this later on. The last thing I want is to have one of my friends to develop diabetes. I'm pretty worried about her.

"My turn!" Pinkie chirped and spun the bottle. The bottle spun until it landed on Rarity. "Truth or dare Rarity?"

"I'll choose truth." She answered.

"Do you own any playmare magazines?"

Playmare magazines? Are they some kind of...Oh HELL NO!

"What!? You expect me to own that kind of thing!?" She asked shocked out of her mind.

"Yes, now tell us. If you don't ah can tell if yer telling the truth or not." AppleJack said quite enjoying this.

Rarity blushed at her fullest and nodded softly.

I couldn't believe it. A pony like Rarity...would actually own playmare magazines. Damn, never expected some pony like her to read some things like that. But, it is normal as well, I think.

Rarity took the bottle and spun it, and then it landed on Applejack. "Ah choose Dare."

Rarity smirked at her fullest, knowing she has great payback for enjoying her suffer from the truth that Pinkie asked her. "I dare you to...kiss Daniel."

…

…

…

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

I looked at Rarity like she literally cursed me beyond my total mind.

Applejack was blushing at her fullest. Her orange fur turned bright red, like her apples. "Y-y-yah want me to do what!?" She asked shocked.

"You heard me, darling. I want you to kiss Daniel." She said smirking still.

"No way!" I said standing. "I'm fine with any kind of dare, but I draw the boundary on this one."

"Come on, Darling. It's won't be so bad." Rarity said still smiling.

"When I say no, it's no." I said firmly.

"Rarity, if he's not comfortable doing it, then don't let him do it." Twilight said.

"Thank you Twilight. At least somepony here can see that I'm not comfortable doing this." I said looking at Rarity.

"What? You want to kiss Daniel, Twilight?" Rarity asked teasingly.

"WHAT!? No I don't!" She shouted blushing deeply.

"*Sigh*, you know what, I can't do this kind of thing anymore. I'm going upstairs, and going to bed. Night everypony." I said grabbing my shirt and putting it back on and walking up the stairs.

"Wait!" Rainbow zipped up in front of me. "Come on. Don't quit now. This is getting interesting."

"I am not comfortable getting involved with a dare like that, Rainbow." I said firmly.

Rarity walked up to me, with the smirk still on her face. "You don't need to be embarrassed darling. Kissing is completely normal for all of us."

"I never kissed a girl alright? And I'll only kiss a girl once I-Mph!"

What happened then shocked me out of my own mind forever.

Rarity literally lunged at me and forced her lips onto mine.

This action shocked me out of my own mind. This was my very first kiss, and now I'm getting one by one of my friends.

The girls behind me had wide eyes, hanging jaws and were blushing deeply.

The kiss lasted ten seconds until rarity let go, and was still smiling. "How was it darling?" She asked in a low seductive voice.

I was beyond shocked. I was blushing to my fullest and my right eye was twitching, and didn't know what to say or do.

"You never said you kissed a girl before, and now I just gave you a good experience with it." She explained.

When my brain functioned again, I glared at her and growled. What she did was completely unacceptable to me, and to my life. "What the fuck is the matter you? That was so uncalled for, Rarity!" I practically shouted.

She took a step back by my raise in voice, but I continued.

"The reason I never kissed a girl before is because I wanted my first kiss to be with a girl I love to my heart. Not by a god forsaken Dare! You literally ruined it now! I don't know what has gotten into you by this moment, but I'm gravely disappointed in you!" I explained pissed.

My explanation got through to her, and she looked at me with shock and she had her hands covering her mouth. She slowly approached me and tried to place her hands on my shoulder, but I pushed her hands away.

"I want you to stay away from me for the rest of the night. I want you to think about what you have done, and improve your actions." I calmly said. I turned around and walked upstairs and slowly shut the door behind me.

(Twilight POV)

"That was completely uncalled for Rarity!" I shouted at my friend.

Rarity had a guilty look on her face, when she came back to the circle and sat down.

"I'm...I'm so sorry. I...I couldn't control myself." She explained sadly.

"Tarnation, Rarity! Above everything ya did in yer life, ah can't believe ya don gone and kissed one of our friends!" Applejack said pissed.

"Why would you piss off poor Danny Wanny?" Pinkie asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

"It's because of my heat." She replied sadly.

...Oh. no wonder why. It was almost mid summer, and all of us are about to go into heat soon. I guess her heat must have taken over at the wrong time.

I sighed. "I guess that explains why, but you still have to explain this to him tomorrow."

"I will, and I'll give him my deepest apologies for it." She said sadly.

I looked at the clock and saw it was ten thirty. It was late and it was time for us to get some sleep. "Time to turn in, everypony."

They all nodded and we climbed into our bags.

I was slightly jealous of Rarity that he kissed Daniel first. I wanted to be his first kiss, but now that moment is gone. I just hope I can be his true kiss later on. I love him. He's a sweet boy and he likes me the way I am. I hope that time comes soon.

(Rarity POV)

I felt so horrible that I kissed Daniel in front of everypony, and the fact that I made him angry. I was also disgusted with myself that I acted unlady-like to him and that my heat acted up. I will make it up to him tomorrow, and I promise this will never happen again...I hope.

(Fluttershy POV)

I was so sad that Rarity kissed Daniel in front of me. It tore me apart that I saw him so angry and he didn't want any of it. I just hope he calms down by tomorrow. I slowly closed my eyes and I felt a lone tear escape my eye.

Author's Note

A little unusual from this chapter, but things will work out in the next one. I think I may get a little negativity from this one.

Until later on in the story, it will become mature and clopping will be involved, but not just yet. Relationships will be revealed until later on. Stay tuned and the next Chapter will be up soon.
