A Rainbow Colored Heart

Rain fell from outside hitting the glass of my bedroom creating a hypnotizing sound a threatened to lull me back to sleep. It was a light rain, one of the many that had been occurring for the better part of the week. In my arms a familiar light blue Pegasus lay there asleep, using my chest as a pillow, as well as a drool rag of sorts. It had become a habit of hers to come into my room sometime during the night, after I had fallen asleep and crawl into bed with me and use me as her own personal pillow. I didn’t mind though, in fact it was cute to see her all nestled in the covers pressed up against my bare chest listening to my heartbeat; her soft fur not at all unwelcomed either.

It had been roughly over a month since the last occurrence had happened involving a blackout had happened making me wonder if the events had stopped completely. Rarity was doing surprising well at Matthew’s, making his life “A Living Hell” while I couldn’t be there; reorganizing his apartment even more than Fluttershy ever could and getting into something’s Matthew probably wished she wouldn’t have. Matthew had made every effort to get a little closer to Fluttershy in attempts to “Win Her Heart” so to speak, but to no avail, either Matthew was too shy to say it or he couldn’t ever get her alone to do so; either way it seemed as though he was making little to no progress at all. Applejack and Rainbow had adjusted fairly easily to living in my apartment having stayed their once or twice before. I considered myself pretty lucky to have them under my roof; the fact that Applejack could cook fairly well only seemed to sweeten the deal. As for Rainbow and Me, the two of us seemed to grow increasingly closer as time passed, relishing in each other’s company in both day and night.

As I laid there watching Rainbow sleep, I couldn’t help but think of the two of us as them item we were. While I still had reservations about certain things, there was nothing me and Rainbow couldn’t do with the other, and in truth I think she felt the same way; it wasn’t easy loving someone of a different species. She shifted slightly letting out a tired sigh before turning her head to look up at me.

“Good morning” she stated her voice very raspy; she was still obviously tired.

“Morning” I greeted moving a strand of red the hung over her eye. “I see you moved into my bed once again”

“Don’t act like you hate it.” She joked.

I looked at the nearby clock on the nightstand; it was considerably later than I might have liked, a seldom 12:34 in bright red letters was on the small screen.

“We better get up; I don’t want to sleep the day away.” I stated removing myself from Rainbows grasp only to earn a disappointed groan as she jumped up onto my back.

“Do we have to?” she stated playfully nibbling on my ear making me laugh a little (My only ticklish spot which she somehow found). Rolling my eyes I got up from my bed and straightened the jeans I had worn to bed before turning to face Rainbow who looked back at me. “You’re no fun.” She stated taking to the air from the bed and flying into the living room as I opened the door.

It was relatively cooler in my apartment but not at all uncomfortable, after a night of being cuddled up to the heater that was Rainbow Dash it felt nice to have to cool air against my bare chest. On the couch I could see Applejack lazily watching TV as she often did when she was bored. Her gaze shifted to me.

“Mornin’ Sugar cube” she greeted.

“Good morning Applejack, anything good on today?” I said sitting down next to her.

“Naw, just another cheesy romance or somethin’.” She stated earning a distinct ‘bleh’ sound from Rainbow Dash as she flew over and landed on the back of the sofa. “Oh don’t act like y’all don’t have one of those romances happenin between the two of y’all, like I said, you ain’t that subtle.”

“Ow, felt that one a bit”

Rainbow chuckled a bit. “Yeah, but me and the big guy are happy, and that’s all that matters right?”

“Yeah, I guess so. Just don’t go and break my friends heart, y’hear?” Applejack stated slugging me playfully on the arm.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” I said with a slight grin looking back at Rainbow who was smiling me with the same tiny grin I had fallen in love with.

Suddenly my cell phone began to go off sending the familiar ringtone through the small apartment. Removing it from my pocket I took a peak at the screen seeing Matthews name under the caller I.D.

“Yeah?” I said putting it up to my ear

“Hey, I need you to take the girls this weekend.”

“What, Why!?”

“My Grandma is going out of town and need somebody to watch her house while she is away.”

“Which Grandma, the one with all that land?”

“Yeah, she’s going away on business and my Mom can’t afford to leave work to take care of the chores around the farm.”

Then it hit me. I had been out to his Grandmas farm once before. We had visited not long after my transplant and stayed up there for close to a week. It was on a barren patch of land with nothing to be seen miles around, perfect for getting into trouble without cops knowing; or taking a group of ponies to without anyone knowing.

“I have an idea.” I stated.

“Do I want to know?”

“It’ll be just you out there right?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you think we can sneak the girls up there for the weekend?” There was silence on the other line for a moment, in the background I could hear Main whispering to one of the ponies; I couldn’t tell which.

“Yeah, that might work.” Matthew stated. “I just need to pack enough food to last us for a few days.”

“Yeah, enough that he won’t eat and make the rest of us starve.” Rainbow joked to herself making Applejack chuckle slightly.

“I’ll talk it over with the girls tonight and get back to you later.” Matthew stated. “Speaking of which, I was planning on taking them on a drive downtown for them to get out and about for a bit. Do you want to tag along?”

I looked to Rainbow (seeing as she had been eavesdropping on the whole conversation) who had put a single hoof under her chin. Slowly she nodded with a grin.

“Sure we’ll tag along if you can spare the room.” I stated.

“Excellent, head over in a bit and we’ll go from there.”

“Sure.”

“Later, Matti-cakes.” Hey stated hanging up the phone.

Almost instantly Rainbow started laughing as soon as my ear left the phone. “Matti-cakes, are you serious?”

I rolled my eyes getting up from the sofa and heading back into my room to get ready for the night ahead of me, trying to ignore Rainbow as she continuously laughed at my new nickname.

“Thank you Main, you son of a bitch”

By the time we had arrived that night at Matthews apartment, it was about mid-afternoon, right about the time everyone would probably be getting off of work and heading home. The plan was to leave around nine and just drive around and look at all the places that hadn’t quite managed to take their Christmas lights down, most places would be closed by then and we wouldn’t have to worry about anybody spotting the girls if we were stopped.

Matthew was plucking away furiously at the keyboard in front of him, trying to plan a route as best he could but for some reason his internet wasn’t working as fast as it normally did. In the living room the girls watched the news as they waited for Matthew to finish.

“Well it took twenty minutes longer than it should have, but I have the coarse all planned out and ready to go, all I need to do now is print this bitch out and we can head out.” Matthew stated stretching his arms over his head popping the joints within.

“How long will that take?”

“Five minutes if this fucking thing doesn’t speed up.” He said kicking the router with his foot slightly.

“I told you those porn sights would fuck up your computer.” I joked.

Rolling his eyes Matthew returned to the task at hand trying to speed up the process as best as he could.

“Hey Matthias, come here for a second if you please.” I heard Rarity call.

Slowly I walked into the living room just as Rarity slowly began to turn the volume up on the TV making the newscasters voice echo throughout the room. The words “More Mysterious Blackout’s” in bright red letters on the bottom of the screen.

“Matthew come in here!” I called.

“Hold on!”

“That’s right Tom, yet another blackout has occurred in the course of this week, this time at the local grocery store. “That’s close” This is the third blackout that has occurred in such a small area-“

Suddenly the TV turned off as well as all the lights in the apartment, the familiar humming of Matthews computer fan coming to a complete stop as well.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me.” I heard Matthew say to the now dead computer. “I literally was just about to print it.”

“Matthias, didn’t you say something about these blackouts were all connected?” Applejack asked

As if on cue there was a knock on the door making everyone in the room turn to face the front door.

“Who could that be?”

A/N: Hey guys, yeah I had a bit of a writers block on this one and didn't know what to do so that is why it is so short.

In other News, I bet you'll never guess who's at the door it-

AM I IN THE STORY YET?

Damn it Pinkie...
