Weekend at the Amusement Park

The crisp afternoon sun is in a position so the sun's in my eyes. I squint the shut and look away and walk, while carefully, briskly down the three steps of Fun-Land's clinic. Dash seemed extremely upset when i was getting them, it was out of character to say the least. Maybe she has some sort of crush on me. Probably not.

We walk around the park for a few minutes, stop at a concession sand to get drinks, and sit down on a nearby bench.

"Hey, Dash," I say between sips of my cold soda. "You seemed so concerned when i was getting those stitches, it wasn't like you."

"What do you mean?" Dash asks, going strieght onto the defensive. "That I'm not aloud to care for my rescinds and wish for their well-being? Is that some sort of sin?"

"No," I respond coolly. "There's nothing wrong about it, but you know the brain is located in the top of the head, not the chin, and it wasn't really that bad of a cut. It barely needed stitches. You held my hoof the entire time the nurse was swing, we all knew i was going to be perfectly fin, except a black line for a little while."

"Yeah... well," Dash fumbled around with her words for a minute. "Your my best friend, and when my best friend gets hurt now, i go completely weak, after Gilda's death three years ago. I mean, is that wrong, that i'm still being extremely weak when somepony that  like is hurt?"

"No!" I say loudly. "Just, don't show you're freaking out when a pony you know is hurt, rather, just keep a straight face and stay calm, chances are, with both the aid of technology and magic, they'll come out of it alive. But I'm going to be blunt, nopony will live for eternity, not even Celestia or Luna. Eventually, something will cause a pony to die. Even if it's in a trillion, octodecillion, however many years it takes, everypony will die. No matter what."

That somewhat made RD calm down, but barely. I suggest we go on a calming ride, and Dash seems content on this decision, even though it's not her type of ride. We look over the map and notice a gondola ride that goes over the entirety of Fun-Land and takes around eleven to twelve minutes, depending on the weather and other circumstances. We walk over to it and board of one of the small gondolas.

"Hmm," I say quietly. "First gondola I've seen with velvet seats, and allows drinks. Nice."

"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said as she sat down across from me. "Seats are rather comfortable, I like them."

The ride starts and RD and I look out the windows, being completely silent. Come on, Bolt! Do it! A voice that is my thoughts yells at me. Just! Tell! Dash! How! You! Feel! I'm muster up the courage to tell dash about my crush on her and I'm about to begin when the ride ends. Shit.

We walk out on the other side of the park towards the more extreme roller coasters. The Termite's Tunnel is the first ride we go on and it's got seven loops, three corkscrews and Celestia knows haw many other things.

We rode several other coasters whose names i didn't read. After the seventh roller coaster, I felt like I was going to puke. And I did. Dash asked if I was alright, and after puke all that i ate today, i felt fine, although hungry.

"Yeah," I say, out of breathly. "Just hungry, and thirsty."

We ate and got some drinks. After our not-quite-so dinner, I felt just fine, if not, then great. Dash decided to lay of the roller coasters for a bit. We decided to ride the ferris wheel instead. I forced dash to use the bathroom before going on so she didn't piss herself. She's done a few times. I went to and whilst  I was peeing, this guy with a red coat, orange mane, and half an apple as a cutie mark walked in. He seemed rather content in making small talk, even though we both decided not to to avoid getting things awkward.

I exited the bathroom and didn't see Dash, so i plugged in my ear-buds and listened to music while i waited. Eventually Dash came out and we went on the ferris wheel.

When our cart was at the top there was a CLUNK! We we're stuck. I made sure both Dash and I where calm. It was three hours before i decided to make any move indicating that I had a crush on Dash.

"Hey Dash," I began. "I need to get some shit off my chest."

"What do you mean?" Dash asked. "What do you want to admit?"

"It's just, we've been best friends for years now. Over time I've began to like like you," I say quietly.

"Huh?" RD is baffled. "What do you mean like like?"

Instead of a verbal response, I use actions. While words can move ponies, actions do it a hundred percent of the time, even if not much. Instead of telling Dash I have a crush on her, I show it. I kiss Dash.

After about two seconds of lip-to-lip contact, Dash pushed me away, with teary eyes, bright pink face, and a slack jaw. She's stunned.

"Oh. My..." Dash's voice trails off. "Well... umm... listen, Steel, I need to say something," Dash's face is now redder than a tomato. "IHAVEACRUSHONYOUTOO!"

Now I'm the one left with a red face and slack jaw.

I pull dash as close as I can and drape my wing over her. She rests her head on my shoulder and looks at my watch.

"Wow," she says quietly between a couple yawns. "Eleven thirty. Getting late." She then dozes off for a little while.

After another hour or so, the ride begins to move again and I shake Dash awake, barely being awake myself. We climb off the ride and sit down on a bench and just randomly burst out laughing. Neither of us know why, but we just laugh. And laugh. And laugh.

Ohh... Tomorrow's going to be a good day.
