More Than a Friend

The morning went by slowly for Flash. His big home in Cloudsdale felt hollow and empty, only his footsteps and the whimper of Callie echoed the house. He watched some football, but even his favorite team, the Wonderbolts, winning didn't cheer him up.

He finally sat down to his HP laptop on his desk. He wasn't ready to start a new chapter with another girl, but he just wanted to see how many ladies were available in Ponyville.  He signed up, with his real name, and all his other personal stuff.

He scrolled through the long lists of results for Ponyville, Pony Dome.

Rosebud: "Pastime: gardening. Works at: Rosebud's flower shop. Goal: get married and have children."

Flash wasn't ready to totally settle down yet, so check her off the list.

Berry Punch: "Pastime: drinking. Works at: Ponyville Bar and Grill. Goal: have a husband to care for her daughter, Berryshine."

Flash guessed she was a drunk. And, she had a daughter already. Like he said, he wasn't ready to be a father just yet.

Sparkler: "Pastime: playing with younger siblings. Works at: Fireworks and Company. Goal: Just have a husband."

Flash thought that was okay, but he just didn't like that she was five years older than him.

Rainbow Dash: "Pastime: hanging with friends or napping. Works at: Cloudsdale Storm Alert. Goal: eh, who cares? Just have a lover."

Flash beamed. Twi's friend? Rainbow Dash? He thought she was dating that one football player for the Wonderbolts, Soarin was it?

He clicked on more information.

"Lives in a apartment in Cloudsdale, Pony Dome. Works at Cloudsdale Storm Alert. Been working there for three years now. Loves her job and her pet turtle, Tank. Hangs with her friends and goes on awesome adventures with them. Not to brag, but she's saved Equestria a few times with the awesome Princess Twilight.

Background info: Mother died when she was 8. Has a younger sister named Scootaloo. Dad was a drunk and got killed in a car accident when she was 11. Orphaned and adopted by Sunny skies at 13. Her sister Scootaloo is 13 now and is still looking for a foster home or forever home."

For the love of Luna and sweet Celestia that girl had a terrible backstory. He clicked messages.

"Hey Dash. Sup?"
