If Wishes Were Pegasi

Gazing up into the late afternoon sky as you saunter through the town square, your eyes search in vain for something you know you're not likely to see today. Another beautiful day in Ponyville, you think to yourself with a sigh. Not a cloud in the sky, and it's supposed to be clear and sunny all week. How terribly disappointing. It means that your chances of seeing her are slim to none, at least for the next few days. You quickly lose yourself in daydreaming, you can't help but to think back to the very first time you saw her.

* * *

You remember your first day in Ponyville, watching a rainbow colored beam of light split the sky, zigzagging in so many directions you're lucky your neck didn't snap trying to keep up with it, clouds bursting into nothingness every time the prismatic streak made a sudden break for another direction at a seemingly impossible angle. To your amazement, the entire dreary sky was cleared in ten seconds flat.

When the dizzying array of colorful contrails finally came to an end, you caught your first glimpse of its creator; a beautiful light blue pegasus pony who stopped to hover for a moment, shaking a few stray locks of chromatic mane from her face to admire her handiwork. Even though there was a great distance between the two of you, her face wasn't obscured in the slightest; dazzling amethyst eyes set beneath furrowed brows, a satisfied smirk across her muzzle, her entire countenance oozing with confidence and attitude.

Your jaw dropped and your heart leaped, never before had you gazed upon such exquisiteness. You were so entranced you didn't notice the apple cart you were walking toward, crashing into it and falling over the orange pony that was peddling her wares there in an undignified heap.

"Tarnation!" the annoyed pony yelled out. "Why don'cha watch where yer goin? Some ponies are tryin' ta make a livin' here!"

Horribly embarrassed, you hastily apologized.

"I'm terribly sorry, I guess I was distracted," you said as you helped her pick up the various apple-based goods you had so carelessly knocked all over the place.

"What were ya so distracted by anyway?" the blond maned mare asked with a raised eyebrow before noticing your attention was already once again locked on the sky, and that you were completely spellbound. "Ah see."

"Who... who is that magnificent pony?" you asked as you watched her fly out of sight.

The curious look on Applejack's face became even more distorted.

"Rainbow Dash? Magnificent?" she began, pausing to emphasize each word. "Well, I suppose if ya asked her she'd agree with ya. Pony's got an ego the size a..." she stopped herself seeing that you were clearly paying no attention to a single word she was saying. Applejack closed her eyes and sighed while shaking her head.

"Rainbow... Dash..." you repeated slowly like an awestruck colt who'd just seen Celestia raise the sun for the very first time, your jaw still hanging open.

"If ya don't shut that trap uh yers, yer gonna start catchin' flies..." Applejack muttered.

You shook your head and pulled your heart back down from orbit before turning back to the orange pony.

"Sorry again for running into your cart like that. Here, let me buy something for causing you so much trouble." You tossed some coins from your saddlebag onto the cart and grabbed an apple before taking off.

* * *

After that day you were determined to get to know as much as you could about that heart-stopping pegasus. In the weeks that followed, you managed to scavenge a little bit of information here and there from the ponies around Ponyville about her, but nothing terribly substantial or interesting. That is, until today.

After spending the bulk of the day thinking so much about the target of your obsessions, you begin to crave something sweet. While casually perusing the local confectionery you run into a peculiar crazy-maned pink pony who could fill an encyclopedia with everything she tells you about Rainbow Dash. You find yourself completely immersed in the tales she spins, soaking it all in like a sponge, until suddenly the pink pony gets a huge grin on her face and gasps.

"Hey! Would you like to meet Rainbow Dash? Because me and Rainbow Dash are totally really good super duper awesome friends and I think it would be totally neat for her to make a new friend like you who is so interested in hearing about her, she sure does like to talk about herself and with someone like you to sit and listen I bet she'd go on and on and on and on and on and on without ever stopping like this one time whenmeandRainbowDashwere..."

You can't concentrate on the pink pony's rambling anymore. It all turns to background noise as you mull over the possibility of actually meeting the glorious pegasus pony that invaded not only every waking moment of your thoughts, but also every dream you’ve had since first laying eyes upon her.

“...and that was when I said ‘silly Dashie, I warned you about that oatmeal!’ So how about it, do ya wanna meet her? Well doya doya doya doya doya?” The irrepressible pony now bouncing in circles around you spouts.

“Well… yes… I think I would like that very much,” you say with a nervous chuckle and grin.

"Great!" Pinkie Pie practically explodes. "Oh Dashieeeee!"

You are almost knocked off your hooves by those words. Surely she didn't mean right n...

"Sup Pinks?" you hear as you see a light blue blur from the corner of your eye followed immediately by a rainbow mane and tail. The mare hovers over the side of the stairs behind you rather than walking down them and plops down next to the pink pony, looking at you with a grin.

"Ooooooh, who's your new colt friend here? Don't think I've seen him around here before," she says with a wink. "Pinkie Pie, you fox! Is there somethin’ goin on here between you and this guy you wanna tell me about?" she says with an impish grin.

The pink pony, apparently completely used to this kind of banter, replies with a response that sends you skyrocketing out of your comfort zone.

"Pffftt..." Pinkie Pie sticks out her tongue and gives a raspberry, rolling her eyes, "nothing like that at all Dash, but he sure does seem interested in you!" she says teasingly. "I've been telling him just every single eensy weensy teeny tiny little detail about you and he just sat here with a big dopey smile on his face nodding the whole time, and he just beeegggged me to introduce you to him!"

You become as pale as a sheet.

"Uh... that's... that's not exactly how it happened..." you stutter as though the emotion of embarrassment coalesced into a physical entity that has its clutches wrapped around your throat, preventing words from forming properly.

"Don't worry about it," Dash laughs, "if I were you I'd be just as nervous about meeting someone as awesome as me, too," she says, breathing on a front hoof she has dangling in the air and rubbing it on her chest as though polishing it. She has that same smirk on her face that you’ve seen before, not even bothering to look in your direction.

"Hey, I got a great idea," the dreamy pegasus pony's eyes light up as she looks right at you, "I was just about to go practice flying, you can watch if you want. But I gotta warn ya, not everypony can handle so much coolness in one dose, so it's at your own risk," she says, giving you a quick wink before turning to Pinkie Pie. "Wanna come with, Pinkie?"

"Aww I wish I could Dashie but I gotta watch the store. Maybe I can meet up with you and your new booooooyfrieeend later! Teehehehee!" She replies, giggling uncontrollably with her eyes closed and a hoof over her mouth.

Dash just rolls her eyes and nervously chuckles, and you think you see a hint of a blush on her face. "Okay Pinks, see ya later."

As you and Dash make your way out of Sugarcube Corner, you could swear the pink pony winks at you as you look back over your shoulder. You wonder idly to yourself if she had somehow sensed your massive crush on Rainbow Dash the whole time.

"Sorry about Pinkie," Dash apologizes as you two walk down a path leading out of town. "she can be so... random sometimes."

"Oh it's okay,” you reply, forcing a nervous smile. “I've met ponies like her before. They're wildly unpredictable, but they sure can be a lot of fun!"

Rainbow Dash stopped for just a moment, seeming completely perplexed that anypony could even come close to Pinkie Pie's level of spontaneity and energy. She shook the thought off and kept walking. After travelling for several more minutes, Rainbow Dash stops and turns to you.

"Here we are!" She announces when you arrive at a clearing just on the edge of town. "So, what do you wanna see first? The filly flash? The super-speed strut?" She asks, that confident, furrow-browed, smirking look on her face quickly replacing the one of slight embarrassment that had been there minutes earlier. You sit on your haunches.

"I wanna see everything. Give me all you got, don't hold anything back!" you say with giddy anticipation.

The ever-eager-to-show-off pegasus pony smiles and says "You got it, pal. Brace yourself because you're about to be blooown awayyyy!"

Rainbow Dash immediately takes flight and dazzles you with an aerial display that, quite frankly, you think would put the Wonderbolts to shame. Your eyes are locked on her the entire time, your jaw hanging open in awe. After nearly an hour of showing off all her best moves, the rainbow maned pegasus begins to tire.

"And now," she yells down to you, breathing heavily, "now you get to witness the most spectacular thing ever beheld by pony eyes, the sonic rainboom!"

You feel your heart pound with excitement, you've heard of the sonic rainboom before, but you always thought it was just an old mare's tale. Rainbow Dash shoots up into the sky, flying so high you lose sight of her amidst the clouds. Moments later, all you can see is a colorful blur travelling at incredible speed toward the ground. As she nears the velocity required to pull off her stunt, you hear a somewhat muffled boom! But this was definitely no sonic rainboom.

You immediately see that Rainbow Dash has lost control of her vector of descent and is spinning wildly toward the ground at a wide angle from the path she was previously on, as though striking some unseen force-field.

"Dash!" you yell out in fear. Without hesitation you jump to your hooves and gallop as hard and fast as you can to the spot she's falling toward. She'll be hitting the ground any moment now, and you can tell that she’s unable to regain control and pull herself out of the dive she’s in, though she’s trying hard. Determined to break her fall even if it kills you, you gallop even harder. Pushing your body to its limits as you run, a fine mist of blood forms at your nostrils as some of the alveoli in your lungs rupture under the strain of trying to supply the maxed-out muscles in your body with oxygen.

All at once, you feel the full weight of Rainbow Dash come crashing down onto you like an Ursa Major, you hear her let out a loud yelp of pain and both of you tumble head over hoof for several yards before finally skidding to a stop. You're dazed for several moments. When you finally come to your senses, you immediately scramble to your hooves and run over to Rainbow Dash, who is still lying motionless on the ground. You lift up a front hoof and gingerly shake her.

"Dash... Dash?" you whisper. No answer. "Dash... come on Dash, get up... please get up..." your voice gets louder but wavers a bit, tears forming at the corners of your eyes. You know she's in a bad way. "Dash!" you finally scream at the top of your lungs, shaking her as hard as you can.

She moans a bit and tries to roll over, but instantly grits her teeth and grumbles in pain when her left wing touches the ground.

"Ow! Uh... I mean..." she coughs, and forces herself up off the ground. An intensely relieved sigh escapes your lips as you choke back happy tears. She’s alive and in one piece, and that’s all that matters to you. As she stands up though, you see her left wing is noticeably sagging. She tries to move it and immediately falls back to the ground, her face contorted in pain. You immediately rush over to her side to try to help her up. She quickly and violently unfurls her good wing, knocking you flat on your back.

"Back off!" she yells, "I’m fine, no thanks to you!" She grunts, grits her teeth and stands back up, limping away from you. "Stupid earth pony, what were you thinking!? I would have stuck that landing if it weren't for you!" Her words sting you worse than a swarm of angry hornets. "Ow!" she squeaks before falling down. You rush over to catch her but again she pushes you away. "I said back off!" She knocks you onto your back for a second time.

You feel helpless and guilty. You never meant for any of this to happen, you were just so excited that Rainbow Dash was paying attention to you and showing off for you. You couldn't have predicted anything like this. As much physical pain as you are in from the impact, and as much emotional pain as you are suffering from her completely blaming you, you still insist on helping her. Seeing her start to stumble again as she walks away from you, you run up to her again, this time from behind, prepared to catch her.

"Back..." she yells through gritted teeth as she puts all her weight onto her front hooves, "off!" and in one fluid motion, kicks you with her back hooves as hard as she can, sending you flying. It's a brutal kick, and it connects squarely with your chest, immediately causing searing pain to shoot through your body as you tumble backward away from her, almost as hard as you had when she landed on you.

You lay on the ground, utterly defeated. Any chance you had at being with Dash is surely gone at this point. Your ears fold flat against your head at the thought. You make no attempt to stand back up. Closing your eyes, you stifle soft sobs as tears stream freely down your face. You can't even bring yourself to look at her. After laying there for what seems like an eternity, you feel a gentle nudge on your shoulder.

"Hey... hey..." a familiar voice says softly with each nudge. You roll over and to your surprise, Rainbow Dash is standing over you. "I'm... I'm sorry for snapping at you like that..." she says. She helps you to stand back up, and you see an unmistakable expression of regret on her face as she looks away from you, her left wing still drooping slightly.

"I... I can't fly anywhere like this... and... I guess... well, I guess I'd appreciate a little help right now," she forces a smile.

You look her in the eyes, sniffling a bit as you wipe the tears from your cheeks.

"My place isn't too far from here, that would probably be the easiest place to make it to with us both being hurt," you reply.

Rainbow Dash's front legs suddenly give out on her again. She's weak and exhausted. This time you catch her though, and there is no resistance. She smiles warmly at you as you place one of her front hooves over your neck and shoulder, lean down, and in one quick motion throwing all of your strength into it, pull her up onto your back. She's heavier than she looks, and you feel your legs shake as you make a few uneasy, wobbly steps toward your home.

"Are... are you sure you want to do this? Really... I think I can walk if you just..." Rainbow Dash says weakly.

"I insist," you snort, digging down deep and forcing your battered body to find the strength to continue. With a bit of renewed determination you trudge forward, step by step toward your home.

Almost an hour later you arrive at your home. Dash is fast asleep lying on your back, which is perfectly fine with you. You push the front door open, and gingerly lay her on your sofa. She stirs ever so slightly, but remains asleep. You softly nuzzle her left wing, and feel intense heat coming off of it just above where it meets her back. She moans a bit and winces in her sleep, obviously the wing still being a bit painful to the touch.

Rummaging through your kitchen, you find a jar of salve that you use when you get muscle aches. You scoop some out onto your hoof and gently massage it into her left wing where it hurts. Dash moans a little bit again, but this time it’s more of a contented moan as the cooling action of the salve takes effect. She shivers a little bit and you notice your door is still standing wide open. The sun is beginning to set and a cool breeze is making its way into your home, chilling the indescribably beautiful creature that was now curled up asleep on your couch. You walk over and shut the door, but notice she is still shivering.

You're exhausted as well, and you climb up onto the couch next to her, providing warmth with your body. She stops shivering a few minutes later and you drift off to sleep once you’re satisfied that she’s comfortable.

You are awakened from your blissful slumber by an angry voice in the middle of the night.

"WHAT THE HAY!?" Rainbow Dash yells as she jumps up from the couch, the sudden absence of a body to lean against causing you to roll onto the floor to a rude awakening with an “Oomph!”

"Just what EXACTLY do you think you're doing there, bub?" her eyes are daggers as she stares at you.

"Uh... well... I..." you stutter.

Her wings unfurl and she stomps a front hoof, glaring at you angrily.

"If you think you can just..." she stops mid-sentence, and the intensity of her scowl decreases, if only a bit. "...hey, my wing, it feels a LOT better..."

"Yeah... when we got here, you were already asleep... and... well... you see I have this salve that I use when I get sore muscles... and I put some on your wing to see if it would help... and then... you started shivering from the cold... and... I was too tired to go upstairs for a blanket... so I tried to keep you warm..." you try to explain.

Dash's expression lightens, and she looks away from you.

"Oh... well... uh... thanks I guess..." she mumbles. She sits on her haunches, still looking away from you, and nervously rubs the back of her neck with a forehoof. "Hey... about earlier, I really am sorry for blaming you... it wasn't your fault" she says. She has a certain air of vulnerability about her, far from the confident pony with attitude you've become accustomed to. "I... I don't admit this to many ponies... but... well, the Sonic Rain Boom isn't something I've gotten down to an exact science yet. I've only managed to actually do it twice, and both times were because I was feeling some pretty extreme emotions gave me the edge I needed to push myself over the threshold"

There is a brief period of awkward silence.

"I guess... I guess I'm not really as awesome as I make myself out to be sometimes... I... hope you're not disappointed" she continues. You see a tiny droplet of moisture run down her cheek even as she turns away from you to hide her tears. After all, nopony had ever seen the awesome Rainbow Dash cry before. You swallow a lump in your throat and cautiously approach her. You gently nuzzle her cheek from behind. Her whole body jumps, and you fear she may become defensive again, but to your surprise you feel a tiny bit of her tension release.

"I know we only just met... but... I still think you're awesome," you whisper into her ear.

She turns to look at you, her face completely unreadable, you have no idea what emotions she's going to express. You look deep into those irresistible amethyst eyes, which are shimmering from Luna's pale moonlight making its way through a nearby window, and from the tears which coat their surface, accentuating that moonlight.

It's now or never.

You take a forehoof and carefully, gently brush away a few stray hairs of that beautiful multi-colored mane hanging down over her face. You close your eyes and lean in closer, your lips almost touching, feeling her soft breath against the tip of your muzzle. You stop about 90% of the way there, and pause for a moment. You almost back away thinking she's not going to reciprocate, when suddenly Rainbow Dash wraps a hoof behind your head, pulling you close to her, your lips meeting, her sweet breath cascading over your muzzle between each kiss. You rub your cheeks together in the brief moments your lips aren't locked and can feel the wetness from tears rolling down her cheeks, but that doesn't matter now.

Her kisses become increasingly intense, until finally she pulls away from you, looking into your eyes longingly, slowly backing toward the big comfortable couch you had both been sharing only minutes earlier. She reaches for you and pulls you down and backward with her onto the couch.

You're on top of her now, and you continue the kissing, eliciting pleasured moans from this light blue goddess, and almost can't believe what's happening. You're completely overcome with passion, and let your tongue meander into her mouth, rubbing every part of her body you could reach as you kissed. Her tongue meets yours in kind, and you take turns exploring each others mouths, savoring the sweet taste as they felt as though they’d become tied up in knots. You notice her wings, both of them, are slightly unfurled.

You pull away and kiss her neck, occasionally nipping playfully at it. She leans her head back and moans softly, her eyes closed, her breaths coming slightly more rapidly. In one fluid motion you let your tongue poke out and lick from her neck all the way up the side of her face, to her ear which you intently blow a soft, warm breath onto, causing it to twitch and eliciting a full-body quiver from the beautiful-beyond-words Rainbow Dash, whose wings have become even more spread.

You kiss your way back down her neck, still playfully nipping, causing a couple of uncharacteristic giggles from Rainbow Dash in a few spots where she must be ticklish, committing those locations to memory for next time.

You rub her chest and kiss it, feeling it heave with every breath she takes. You make your way to where her right front leg meets her body, wrap your hooves around it and deeply massage it, your lover cooing in delight as you work out the tension in the muscles all the way down to her hoof. You gingerly rub her hoof, drawing little hearts on it with the tip of your own, surprisingly eliciting another giggle from Rainbow Dash, somewhat surprised that her hooves are so sensitive. She shifts positions and stretches a little, moaning and humming with delight as you repeat the same process with her other front hoof, her wings fully extended and flaring at this point. You wonder just how sensitive they are.

You reach forward with both your forehooves and gently rub both of Dash’s wings while kissing her belly and blowing hot breaths onto it, prompting squeals of surprise from her at first which quickly turn into loud, passionate moans as you continue rubbing even harder, and start to gently lap at her belly with your tongue, wandering lower... and lower...

You wonder if you are coming too close to her nether regions, but she offers no resistance at all and seems to be enjoying herself immensely. You rub the inside and outside of her left thigh, massaging it with the same intricate skill you had employed for her forelegs, all the way up to the tip of each back hoof, feeling your beautiful lover shudder with desire the entire time.

You gently slide yourself back up next to her and whisper into her ear, "turn over onto your belly..." your words carried on a slow, hot breath.

She does as you ask, her wings still splayed far apart. You bury your face into the spot on her back where they meet and breath deeply into it, letting your warm breath become absorbed into her fur. She gasps slightly, and you bring your front hooves forward to gently press down into the same spot, working it firmly but gently.

The pegasus' moans are almost deafening at this point and her entire body is shaking with intense pleasure. You massage, lick, kiss, and caress her back all the way down to her croup, but that's as far as you go. There will be plenty of time for that area a bit further down on her body later on if everything works out, you remind yourself. You don't want her to think you're taking advantage of her, after all.

You work your way back up her back to her wings, remembering how intensely she had responded to you touching them before. You begin stroking them rhythmically. Slowly and gently at first, but gradually putting on more and more pressure. The pegasus' body bucks violently underneath you as she spasms with intense pleasure. Her wings must be way more sensitive than you’d realized at first.

You start to wonder if you can bring her all the way over the edge just from the attention you're giving her wings. You do your best to do so, touching them in ways that she'd never had them touched before, rubbing... caressing... kissing... deriving almost as much pleasure as she is from making her feel so good. After many minutes of careful manipulation, of trial and error, the success of each new sensation you stimulate her with being marked by even more intense moaning, you bite down on her neck with just enough pressure so as to not hurt her, forcing your hot breath into her neck, and simultaneously pressing down in the areas of both wings you've found to be most sensitive through your experimenting as hard as you could. The sensations become too much for Rainbow Dash to handle she screams out in ecstasy as every muscle in her body tightens and she explodes, seeing stars, the moment lasting all too briefly as she quickly comes back down to earth and her muscles relax again.

You roll off of her back and lay facing her, your hooves around her and hers around you, locking each other in a warm embrace, softly nuzzling and kissing at the mare of your dreams as she wraps her wings around you.

A thought comes to your mind that brings a smile to your lips as this lovely goddess falls asleep. You'd probably seen sides of Rainbow Dash tonight, and touched parts of her, that nopony else had ever ventured near before. You hope with all your might that this lasts, and that the bond you've formed with her is never broken by anything. Tonight has been your best night ever, but you're already planning for the next with high hopes that it will be even better.
