Author's Note

*If you haven't noticed, they indentation can refer to my thoughts, but when there is a line break it is Rainbow Dash speaking. Just a heads up because there is this in the chapter.*

Chapter 3: Enjoyable times

“Anthony…Anthony”

“Rainbow?” I was in a void, a black void, only hearing Rainbow’s voice. All the sudden my memory lapsed and went to a Ponyville scene. It was the library and the rest of the five were gathered as twilight was using here magical aurora, picking books left and right quickly flipping through them.

“Twi we cannot do any more about Rainbow, she is gone…” said Fluttershy

“But there must be something, I mean…” she was stopped as a orange hoof was put on her shoulder, applejack.

Look twi, we all loved...Rainbow Dash, but you have nothin else gal. I for one liked Rainbow, but y'all must accept this in move on, ya here me?” Twilight stopped her magic, the books she was holding with it dropped and made a harsh hit. She was crying now, as was Applejack, shedding a tear for her dear friend.

“Just hope…” my memory faded before she said the rest of her words. Words kept repeating themselves, “there is nothing, there is nothing...there is nothing,” my dream faded.

I awoke slowly, my eyes started to unwrap themselves from the darkness. I had my eye open now and looked as I was on my side. Weird because I felt I was closer to the middle of the bed than I was...before hand. I then felt something touch my left side. I used my hand to try and feel what it was and...it was furry. It was Rainbow’s front right hoof. She also then moved her legs which I could feel near my thighs. I think Rainbow just cuddled up to me. Or did I? Well ,what can I do, I can’t wake her.

After my sudden thought, I saw rainbow yawn quietly and could tell she was going to be awake. Her eyes must have opened because she instantly recoiled her hooves and back hooves off of me. I faked myself being awoken by her rustling my slumber.

“Ah…what a great night rest don’t you think?” I said with a smile as I turned around to face her on my side, eye to eye. She looked nervous at first, probably because of the affection she showed, because she never shows affection, ever. Damn forgot about the dream, eh tell her later.

“uh...uh yeah a great night,” she said hesitantly, I was thinking about teasing her, and saying just what popped in my mind.

“Funny cause I swear I was awoken of someone touching my body,”

“Hehe funny,” she said nervously almost breaking a sweat.

“Are you okay Dash?”

“Huh what? Oh yeah I am fine, just nerves of pain from awkward sleep position.”

“Come on Dash, you look worse than if that happened you can tell me.”

“uh...uh…”

“Look…I know you were cuddling with me while we are asleep and I do not know if it was because you miss your friends and Equestria or just affection for saving me, but it is ok, I did not mind,”

“…uh...you…knew?”

“Honestly I woke up before you and felt your hooves on my side, it is fine, besides I really like you anyway,” shit didn’t mean to say that I likes you part, oh shit! She looked funny at first while she stared at me, her mind fixated on my words and her brain was trying to comprehend them. I blushed and she looked at me and smiled.

“Yeah right! Like you would like a boaster and not perfect pony,” she said sarcastically.

“But...ugh...i really like you as a friend Rainbow, I was not as happy as I am now with you. You make me happy, I feel happy, I feel amazing around you” Anthony stop yourself now! I blushed harder now and she gasped and looked at me like, wait what!

“Wait a minute. You are saying that...you love me?” Her question and voice so sweet to touch I didn’t know if I could answer. Her wings relaxing and moving a tiny bit by bit trying to figure out if her wings were ok. Her legs moved side to side in a nervous way.

“well...uh...what I mean to say is that…” before I could finish my sentence of truth about me liking her, her wings that she was checking took a small gust and flew her right towards me. Her legs kicked back so she could move easier. She gave me an unbreathable hug. I could feel her soft fur, her aroma again filling my nose. She gave off a large sum of body heat compared that enveloped me along with her hooves, now wrapped around my waist.

“Anthony you are such a great friend. You have already helped my from death, kept me alive, and mea me feel happy. You are the best friend I have ever had.”

“it is hard for me to explain how you are real. It is hard to explain the comprehension of your friendship for me. And I cannot believe you do not believe you are a wonderful mare. You are my favorite of the six, the sonic rainboom is incredible and your rainbow mane is gorgeous,” she blushed as I could feel her warming cheek against my neck.

“I never seen such a side of you? A side where you show affection. I mean there has been times where you took a tear, but last night and today, I have never seen such emotion.” I said once again.

“When I crash landed Anthony, I felt that my life was over, when twilight performed that spell and accidentally transported me to this world, I was teleported right into a storm. I have dealt with bad storms before, but your weather is so…”

“Random” I finished her sentence.

“Yeah how did you know?”

“One, great minds think alike, two the weather is random here compared to Cloudsdale telling you and having a flying weather team take care of the clouds.”

“Oh yeah, Cloudsdale haha, I forgot you cannot control the weather.” She gave a sigh.

“Eh, it is not that bad, at least it is random and you do not know what to expect, you can be thankful or disgusted by what the weather is like,”

“Haha true,” she laughed at what I had spoken of. There was an awkward silence for about a whole thirty seconds when…

“Anthony! Breakfast is ready!” My mom shouted since my door was shut.

“Coming!” I yelled back to her. “oh by the way, I do not know if you like our food, since you are a…

“Hay eater, herbivore as know-it-all say it,” she finished my sentence adding in twi’s smart remark.

“Yeah.”

“Well you don’t know till you try it right?”

“Yep, well you cannot eat with me, if I showed them I had a talking pony named Rainbow Dash and showed them to you, they would probably have a heart attack.”

“Yeah I understand du...I mean Anthony.” I thought for a second on this large predicament. Dash needed food to keep for strength up if she ever wanted to return to Ponyville and her friends. Like that an idea popped in my head.

“Hey I have an idea! Why not afterwards I will make you something without my parents noticing.”

“Good idea stupid, but how?”

“Haha, well my parents work outside, so when they are out I will make you eggs, or pancakes or something of the sort.

“What are those things.”

“ You never had Hay pancakes in Canterlot?”

“Never gone really to the restaurants there sorry.”

“I will make those then. I am sure you will like them,” I have her a smile and she smiled back.

“Anthony do you even want food!?!”

“Yes! I am coming, just...cleaned my room up a bit.” I opened and shut my bedroom door since the table we ate at was literally four feet away from it on the right. So far so good. While I was eating,I thought that maybe if Dash and I got some more alone time, I could carry her outside so she could get some fresh air rather than being in my bedroom 24/7. Okay that sounded wrong. My mom came with the food. It was scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns. Hash browns were my favorite part of breakfast if we had them, they were so good! It was like breakfast french fries.

Soooo...what are we doing today?” trying to bring up some smalltalk. I can usually talk well when we eat together, just becase of the situation, I was like a soda machine being out of order.

“Well your mom and I will be going to pick up some groceries since we are running out, do you want to come?”

“I think I am good, but maybe you could pick up some donuts?”

“Alright then, so I guess you will have to be home alone again like yesterday for about two hours okay.”

“Got it.”

“Now I want you to be careful like always,” my mom said.

“I will I will, so when will you guys be off to the grocery store.”

“About...shoot! Let’s go honey,” they both got out of their chairs and went to the door, they must have been late to their schedule. I just smiled as they left.

“Hell yes! Finally Dash gets to really hang out with me!”
