Once in the dark...

Kyle quietly made his way to Fluttershy's cottage. He got some stares, but was used to far worse than that on earth and their stares had grown more curious than anything over the passed couple weeks. Rainbow Dash made her way to him and began walking beside him and looking at his face. "Hey... dude, I'm sorry that Gilda ended up punching you in the face. I didn't realize she was that bad," she said with a guilty tone.

"Don't worry about it too much. Believe it or not that was rather light compared to what I was used too," Kyle answered with a shrug. "Although, that whole event helped me feel a lot more wanted and cared for. So thanks for sticking up for me and Shy," he continued. Rainbow smiled and passed by him.

"Totally, welcome," she said. Turning towards him she asked him, "so where ya' headed?"

"Fluttershy's, I promised to help today," he answered. "How about you, what's on your schedule?" he asked her.

"Later on I'm going to do some more practicing. Gotta' keep it up to get into the Wonderbolts. I mean, I won't have an issue or anything. Come on, I'm awesome," she answered as she took to the air, still facing him.

Kyle laughed a bit saying happily, "yes Dash, yes you are. What makes you even more awesome is how you treat your friends."

"Yep, evenifit'salittlehard," Pinkie quickly spouted as she popped up next to them from seemingly nowhere, startling Kyle.

"Jeez... I don't think I'll ever get used to that," he said with a deep breath. "Anyways, what brings you here Pinkie?" he asked as he a Dash shifted their attention to the bouncing mare and he fought to keep his attention on her face.

"I was going to find out some more about you, like your favorite foods, sweets, games, colors, your birthday..." Pinkie started as Kyle stopped her with a finger over her mouth while shushing her.

He giggled as he answered her, "favorite food is avocado, favorite sweet would have to be cupcakes, favorite game is a game from my world called Culdcept, favorite color is green and my birthday is or was rather on January 13th. I don't know if the months and days work the same here or not. Anyways, why do you need all this information?"

"So that I can give you a welcome to Ponyville party and I know everypony's birthday in Ponyville," she answered with a massive smile.

"You have got to be exaggerating just a little on that," he stated with a chuckle.

"Nope," she answered as she started spouting off birthdays of everypony they passed.

After about ten minutes of her listing off birthdays he finally stopped her and said, "alright... alright, I believe you. You don't have to give me a welcome to Ponyville party though, wasn't I at Twilight's,"

"First off that was Twilight's party and no you weren't. You passed out right Rainbow," Pinkie said with a grin. However, the only answer she got from Rainbow Dash was a light snore as she napped while still flying backwards. They giggled at their sleeping friend.

"While you are right on that, I still don't think you should do the party. You shouldn't spend that much money on someone like me," he said to her.

She gave him a very close look while saying, "what do you mean somepony like you? Fluttershy is right you're very mean to yourself. I do this because I want to see my friends smile, that includes you."

"Well, I don't want to see you end up broke or homeless," he shot back.

Finally, Rainbow Dash woke up saying, "what are ya' 'lergic to parties or something, is that why you passed out?"

He looked at her very confused, "what, that's not even possible. I'm allergic to shellfish, bees," he started as Pinkie handed him a cupcake. "Thank you, and peanuts," he finished as he took a big bite and swallowed. Then he looked from the cupcake to Pinkie as his eyes widened in fear and his throat closed up.

Pinkies panicked immediately and yelled to Rainbow Dash, "he needs the hospital now!" Just as he went limp and fell to the ground clutching his throat. Rainbow nodded and took off with Kyle.

Twilight sat at her desk reading a particularly in-depth book on magical theory when, suddenly, Pinkie rushed in with tears streaming down her face. She was blubbering very fast and Twilight couldn't understand a word she said. "Ok, Pinkie, why don't you slow down a bit and start from the beginning. What happened?" Twilight asked.

Still crying Pinkie nodded and started again, "I fed Kyle peanuts."

"Ok, and this is bad?" Twilight quizzed, clearly confused.

"He's highly allergic to them!" Pinkie answered as more and more tears found their way down her face.

"Oh Celestia, is he ok?" Twilight asked.

"I... I sent Rainbow to take him to the hospital..." Pinkie said through her sniffling.

"Let's go." Twilight said as she put her book down and made her way towards the door.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Kyle's allergies had finally been gotten under control. Taking deep breaths he looked over at Rainbow Dash and, in a very scratchy voice, he said, "thank you." He took more deep breaths.

Dash looked at him with a sad smile, "no thanks needed." The door opened and Twilight ran up to him, giving him a big hug.

"Thank Faust you're alright," she said as she cried a bit.

"I will be. I need to start carrying around Epipens again," he said, his voice sounding a little better, but still hoarse. Then he noticed that Pinkie was standing by the door, looking down at the ground. "Hey Pinkie why don't you get over here," he said. Pinkie, still keeping her view away from him nodded and walked closer to him. "Don't you dare blame yourself for this. I ate the cupcake, I didn't tell anyone about my allergies and I didn't have my Epipens. This is not your fault. Now come give me a hug and we'll plan my welcome party," he said with a light chuckle. She looked at him and smiled as tears fell like a waterfall down her face. Twilight backed up as Pinkie gave him a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you," she whispered to him as her tears stained his shirt.
