Suger Cube Corner.
"Thank you, please come again." Joseph had helped yet another customer receive their order and was now making his way to the front counter.
"Hey, Joe we have a Banana Nut muffin at table twelve." Pinkie chimed in as she came out the back and helped another pony with their purchase.
"Can do Pinks." He gave her a mock salute before grabbing the pastry and heading over to the table. He got there and was surprised to see Dash and a new pony he had yet to meet but knew of him.
"Hey Dash, who's your friend?" He asked as he handed the bag to the stallion who gave him thanks. Dash laughed.
"You're the expert on interdimensional phenomena." She gave him a smirk.
"You tell me?" she challenged. Joseph chuckled and obliged.
"Soren." He said extending a hand. Soren feigned shock.
"Wow dash so you told him my name." He smirked. Joseph grinned.
"Your also a wonderbolt who is currently in a relationship with Spitfire the resident leader of the team as well as being the second in command if anything happens to her." He got Soren's attention.
"Go on." He waved a hoof. Joseph nodded.
"Well judging by your age, which I'm guessing at this point. you joined when you were 18 when you signed up." Soren was beginning to get suspicious.
"This is to good to be just guesswork." He frowned.
"Beside's there's one little bit of info you managed to botch." He stated as he glared at the table.
"Wait really?" Joseph asked feeling more than a little nervous. Soren smirked as he let his facade fall.
"Me and Spitfire were never a couple." He smirked. Joseph thought about it and smiled.
"Well, I can't get everything right." He shrugged his shoulder's. as Dash cracked up.
"But you see my point now Soren?" she said waving her hoof about.
"He know's stuff about us that nopony else should, could, or even would know." She smirked.
"It's kinda creepy when you stop to think about it." She smiled as Joseph blushed and coughed.
"But hey it's also kinda mysterious as well." She added with a wink. Joseph chuckled as he thought about it.
"Yeah well you little guy's have thrown me for a loop on more than one occasion." Dash laughed.
"Your little show didn't mention me being a grade A genius did it?" She smirked as Joseph rolled his eyes with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, that really took me for a spin." He said as he decided to counter her rebuff.
"Really sexy there Dash." He stated causing Dash to flush and begin to fidget.
"You have the whole package, brain's, brawn, and beauty." He winked as she gave him a look of shock. She blushed and tried to hide her face with her hair.
"Oh come on it's not that impressive." She stated causing Soren to laugh.
"I beg to differ Dash." He thought about it.
"I can only remember a few mares who were willing to go through the length's you were to get were you are now." He chuckled as Dash gave up and laid her head on the table.
"Come on you two aren't going to gang up on a mare are you?" She tried to do her pitty face but it ended up aking the male's laugh and finally, she huffed and folded her hooves.
"You two are not allowed to become friend's." She stated as the two male's shook hand's. Joseph and Soren shared a smile.
"Don't worry Dash we'll give a fighting chance," Soren said as he got up and stretched.
"Beside's its about time for me to get back to the compound." He joked as he turned to the two.
"Dash it was great to see you again and catch up." He then turned to Joseph.
"And it was great to finally meet you after all the talk up at flight school." He gave Dash a wink to which she just blushed and stood her ground. Joseph nodded.
"Likewise." He said as Soren gave a nod and trotted out the door. Joseph turned to Dash and smirked.
"So." He nodded to the doorway. "You and Soren huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows. Dash laughed and gave him a slap with her wing.
"Yeah, no thanks." She said as the two stood there.
"So what time are you off today?" Dash asked feeling giddy. Joseph thought about it.
"Started this mourning at 8, and I get off at." He looked at the clock.
"In about half an hour." He gave Dash a curious look.
"Why you ask?" He smirked. Dash didn't flinch. She smirked as well.
"Because I need someone to help me out with my routine." She stated as she ruffled her feathers. Joseph smirked.
"And here I thought you wanted to spend time with me." He pouted as Dash snickered. She then brushed his leg with her flank.
"Hey, you get a front row seat to this." She struck a sexy pose causing Joseph to sputter as he tried to avert his gaze. Dash just laughed.
"So consider yourself lucky." She winked as she trotted out the door. Joseph stood there.
"Why does she have to be so damn sexy." He sighed as he went back to work. By now he wasn't even opposed to the thought of thinking a pony was sexy. He'd lived here long enough to know what he found attractive. Problem was that Dash oozed everything he could think of.
"Why can't life just be simple." He went back to the front counter taking ponies order's as the day wore on.
At half-past 2 on the dot, Ms. Cake came down the stair's to let Joseph know he was free to go.
"Go on dear don't keep your friend waiting." Her eye twinkled as her face lit up with a mirthful smile. Joseph didn't catch her drift and smiled back.
"Thank's Ms. cake. See you later." He said as he stopped by the kitchen.
"See you Pinkie!" He called out as the pink one popped up from behind the baking table waving.
"See you later Joe." She called out as she hopped about the kitchen more than likely doing ten different things at once. Joseph shook his head.
"Never change pinkie." He smirked as he opened the door and walked down the road to the outskirts of Ponyville. A little while later saw Joseph standing underneath the house of one Rainbow Dash. Taking his hands and cupping them,
"Hey Rainbow!" Joseph stood there looking up at the house for a little while. Soon a head poked out of a window, followed by a frantic hoof waving. Dash came out of her home and starred down at the ground below.
"Hey there furless!" she shouted hearing a rowdy laughter come to her ear's.
"Well Dash I'm here now," Joseph shouted back. Dash smirked then took a step off of her cloud home and plummeted to the earth below. Joseph watched as Dash fell through the air. As she did so Dash kept track of how far above the ground she was. The second before she hit ten feet her wing's flared open halting her downward momentum as she gave a mighty wingbeat forward. Now she propelled herself along the ground rapidly gaining speed and heading toward's Joseph who stood there, a grin plastered on his face.
He'd seen her do this trick a few time's at one of the air show's and so knew to stay perfectly still, which took all of his willpower. As Dash zoomed straight for him she flapped her wing's propelling her body into an aileron roll going around Joseph who whipped his head around as she did so.
"Yeah!" He whooped as she reoriented herself and climbed into the air for her next trick. For the next few hours Joseph watched and cheered Dash on as she practiced for her next performance. After her normal routine of roll's, spin's and loop's she then went into experimental territory seeing what she could pull off and what she could leave for later. All the while Joseph stood there admiring her and she, him.
"Ok let's go for the grand finish." She thought as she climbed into the air for the last bit of her show. Joseph saw her become nothing but a speck in the sky from his vantage point on the ground. Then with the thunderous roar of air being moved at sonic speed's Dash came crashing down to the earth. As she reached Mach speed's she leveled herself off and began to zoom across the sky. Suddenly her contrail began to shoot off spark's as she reached her peak.
With one final flap of her wing's, she entered hypersonic velocity's as her magic allowed her to break not only the sound barrier but the visible light spectrum as well. Joseph was still impressed with her sonic rainboom no matter how many time's he saw it.
"Wow." He smiled as Dash flew by still trailing her signature rainbow contrail that was now engulfed in lightning that crackled overhead as she passed. She continued to trail her lighting around and soon Joseph saw that she was beginning to run out of steam. Using what little energy she had left Rainbow began to spiral in a circle until her contrail dissipated in a flash of rainbow color leaving Dash to slowly glide down to the ground. She angled her landing to just in front of Joseph who stood there looking as impressed as ever.
"So what do you think?" Dash asked as a cocky grin adorned her muzzle.
"Well Dash all I can say is that I'm glad a bought ticket's to your show this weekend." He said as Dash stood there her face going red.
"Is it really that good?" She asked in a rare moment of self-dought. Joseph smiled and nodded.
"The fan's are going to love every second of it Dash." He gave her a thumbs up. Dash just smirked and trotted over to him giving him a hug.
"Awesome!" Dash said smothering Joseph in her sweaty embrace. Joseph just laughed as he reciprocated the jester. This had become so routine now that he didn't feel anywhere near as bothered by being covered in pony sweat as he once was. Dash released Joseph just as a shadow flew overhead. The two looked up and spotted the last pony they wanted to see.
"Just what are you doing here?" Dash demanded as Hotshot landed in front of the two. He gave them a sheepish look and bowed his head in submitance.
"Sorry for barging in you two." He briefly glanced at Joseph and gave him a soft smile. Joseph didn't return it but he didn't scowl at him either. So Hotshot trotted up to the two and stopped in front of Dash who took the initiative this time.
"Look if it's about the gym then we can take this to the royal sister's." Dash threatened to which Hotshot vigorously shook his head.
"No, no Dash please I just want to apologize!" He blurted out taking the two friends by surprise. They were too shocked to speak so Hotshot continued.
"Look I've been out of town lately." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"Seeing a psychiatrist. Getting some medication." He sighed.
"The works." He stated as he fidgeted in place.
"Look Dash I really want us to be friend's again and if that's not an option then at the very least I want to be able to come and see your show's." He added in an almost pleading voice. Dash stood there looking at the almost reck of a stallion in front of her. Sure he looked meticulously groomed and well kept but on the inside, she could only imagine what he was feeling. She sighed hoping she wouldn't regret her choice.
"Look Hotshot." upon hearing his name his head shot up and he was trained onto her like a hunting dog. It unnerved her to see the strange glint in his eye's but she continued.
"I can't go the rest of my life hating you for something that happened way back in high school ok." She stated as Joseph listened in.
"So here's what I'm going to do." She said holding up a hoof to stop his mouth from spouting anything.
"I'm going to let you come to my show this weekend," she stated causing Hotshot to skip a beat as his heart raced.
"But there's not going to be anything to draw any unwanted to you, me, my friends or anything else out of the ordinary." She gave him a stern look.
"Are we clear?" She asked sealing the deal. Hotshot was ecstatic as he hopped to his hooves and began to dance a little jig.
"Yes!" He jumped into the air and was immediately brought down to earth my a cleared throat.
"Are we clear?" Dash repeated. Hotshot chuckled as he floated back down to the ground.
"Uh, huh, huh, um I mean yes. Dash yes we're clear." Hotshot upon getting more control of his faculty's tried to give Dash a hug to which she sidestepped and instead gave his hoof a shake. He awkwardly began to flap his wing's and took off to the cloud district.
"Don't know if that was a good idea or not," Dash muttered to herself. Joseph stood there feeling proud.
"Well, Dash I think you made his day." He said giving her a smirk. That earned him a swat in the ass from her tail and a smug grin on her face.
"Yeah, we'll see who make's yours when we get back to the castle." She stated as Joseph paused and then smacked himself.
"Of course that's what I forgot!" He said taking off toward's the castle. Dash zoomed off after him. Back in the cloud distract Hotshot was hard at work using his sweat-stained hoof for some vigorous masturbation.
"Yes dash just like that!" He yelled into his pillow as he coated himself in his hot sticky essence. Coming off of his high he mumbled incoherently to himself as he thought of what his therapist had said.
"I have the power to change my fate." He said as he rummaged through a drawer and found a picture of Dash.
"Soon we'll be together forever." He smiled as his plan came to fruition.
