/ Part 4// Story: Rainbow's Journey// by coolnico//------------------------------// Alex and Rainbow Dash both didn't notice how the time went by and how the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon. They were both focused on the TV. Rainbow Dash was simply stunned by the simple fact that something like a TV existed, Alex on the other hand wanted to let her have a fun time. When it was around 18:30 Alex turned off the TV, much to Rainbow's disapproval. "Hey! I wanted to watch that! Not fair!" Rainbow Dash grumbled. "Come on, you can continue watching later Rainbow. Lets get something to eat first, alright?" "...And you promise we'll come back to watching TV later?" Alex couldn't help but laugh about that. "Yes Rainbow, we'll watch some TV later. Believe me. Now, lets get some food, I could eat a hor-...uh..cow...." Alex gulped. To Alex's luck, Rainbow didn't seem to notice his little "mistake" but asked a rather different question. "You guys have cows here? I thought they would only live in Equestria." Alex gave a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Yeah, we do. But...I don't exactly think we treat cows like you guys back in Equestria..." "What do you mean?" Rainbow cocked her head. "I-I’m not sure if you wanna hear about that..." Alex scratched the back of his head. "Uh, ok then...lets just go get some food then." Rainbow Dash replied, trying to avoid a possibly awkward conversation. "Yeah, right." With that, Alex opened the door. This time though Rainbow Dash was the first to leave the room. "Come on! Im hungry!" Rainbow said, trying to motivate Alex into hurrying up, which was unsuccessful though. "The food won’t run away, calm down." Alex said as he was closing the door of his room. As the two were walking down the stairs, Alex looked at his watch. It was now 18:35, his parents would come home from work soon. He shrugged off his worries and lead
Rainbow towards the kitchen. She was surprised at how the kitchens of humans and kitchens of ponies both seem to look kind of the same. Alex walked by a surprised Rainbow Dash and opened the fridge, looking at what they could eat. "Rainbow, do you like Peanut Butter?" He asked, holding up a glass of Peanut Butter. "What the hay is Peanut Butter?" She asked with confused look. "I take that as a no..." Alex replied to her, putting the Peanut Butter back and continuing to look for something to eat. "Oh, how about some bananas?" He asked, now holding up a few bananas. "Nah, not that big of a fan of bananas." Rainbow Dash replied, now trying to think of what she would want to eat. "Hm...Alright...Lets see...how abou-" Alex was interrupted by Rainbow Dash. "Do you guys have apples too?" Alex should have probably known better but kind of forgot that he always saw ponies eat apples. "Oh, now that you say it, yeah we do." Rainbow Dash gave him a happy smile. "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" Alex giggled at her enthusiasm. "Alright, alright" He grabbed 2 apples and closed the fridge. "Here" Rainbow quickly took the apple and started eating. "Meh, not as good as the ones from Sweet Apple Acres...but good enough for now." Rainbow Dash said with a full mouth. "Finish eating first, then speak." Alex reminded Rainbow, making her roll her eyes. "Ok, Mum." Rainbow replied, causing Alex to giggle a little. After finishing eating, Alex quickly grabbed another two apples. He was about to give Rainbow one of the apples when Alex froze at the sound of something outside. The sound of a car. The sound of his mother's car
