Someday, or Maybe Tomorrow?
Betrayed
Load Full StoryNext ChapterRainbow Dash sighed as she flew over Ponyville. She was running from him, and he knew it. She could hear him calling for her, seeing her but she would never respond or land. Rainbow could hear his desperate calls to her, from his forever grounded position. Rainbow loved it.
"Please come down, Rainbow!" Caramel called. "I love you. I'd do anything. Even repeat what we did last week."
Rainbow froze. That was uncalled for. Why would he spill something so socially devastating, something that brought back memories, to the whole town.
"You can just go buck yourself, Caramel." Rainbow shouted back, angry now. She zoomed away. At first she was just hurt. Out of all of her suitors, Caramel was the sweetest. He seemed to care about her, to love her. But all he wanted was to keep a secret and he used her for it. She found out a while ago but kept it anyway. Even Caramel himself didn't know. But under all of those kisses was hurt and betrayal. She felt used, like a dirty dishrag, and that's probably what he thought of her too.
Right now she was grateful he didn't have wings. But that relief was not going to last long. Her other suitors had heard the news of the breakup and were giving it their all to get her attention. There were three that stood out. Caramel, Cappuccino, and Neon Lights. Cappuccino actually had wings, and no sense of personal space. He actually barged into her cloud home and attacked her with kisses multiple times. Neon Lights loved to catch her by surprise and shower her with gifts, literally. It was sweet, and annoying at the same time. The other suitors were more secretive and hinted at a date.
Rainbow was still too angry to enjoy this situation. She remembered the day she watched him betray her. But that wasn't as bad as watching him do it repeatedly. This time she couldn't take it.
The day she saw it for the last time was the day she was helping the Cutie Mark Crusaders host their slumber party for the night while the Apple family rested after Applebuck season. Caramel was there too, but Rainbow didn't know why he was there. After the girls drifted to sleep after a long day of training, Rainbow went out for a fly. She could never sleep unless she tired herself out. As she flew, she saw Caramel sneak into the Apple's house. Right on schedule. Rainbow followed him quietly and hid as he made his way upstairs. She followed. He crept into Big Mac's room.
"Everypony asleep?" Big Macintosh asked.
"Yes, honey" Caramel said. He gave Big Mac a sly look. Rainbow Dash didn't know what to think. She was used to pet names, but a sly look? Caramel never had that look in his eyes for her.
"Good," Big Macintosh said, rolling on top of Caramel. "I've been waiting all day."
Caramel giggled. "Me to-," He replied, his word cut off by Big Mac's lips touching his. Caramel slid his forelegs around Big Mac.
It felt like a knife was stabbing Rainbow in the heart. Why did she come here to spy every day? Why did she subject herself to such pain? Why did she constantly seem to compare her relationship with this one?
Big Mac broke the kiss and leaned down to whisper something in Caramel's ear. Stab. Rainbow noticed something was wrong. They were going to do more than kiss this time. She watched as Caramel blushed and Big Mac slid his hoof down Caramel's belly, Caramel's breath quickening, Big Mac's kisses down his body. She watched as it happened in front of her eyes, as they began doing the unthinkable. Stab. Caramel had no thoughts about Rainbow as he moaned and trembled. And finally, a single tear as Caramel came.
What hurt worse, was watching the stallions trade places. The mouth that kissed her, that pleasured her, that opened in bliss when Rainbow pleasured him, was being used to pleasure another pony. Stab, stab, stab.
"Baby, I love you." Big Mac said, surprisingly vocal, out of breath, moaning as zaps of pleasure shot through his body. "I wanna be with you. I don't care what people will say anymore. All those neighsayers can go buck themselves."
But what hurt worst of all was what Caramel said in reply.
Caramel looked up from Big Macintosh's stallionhood, tears in his eyes. "I-I love you too. We should be together." Stab, Stab, Stab,Stab,Stab.
Rainbow hesitated for a moment, testing him, seeing if he would think of her and leave, knowing she was there. Her hopes were destroyed by the sound of Big Mac's moaning as Caramel finished him off. Stab, Stab, Stab, Stab, Stab,Stab,Stab,Stab,Stab and twist!
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rainbow screamed, sobbing, and collapsed on the floor. Hurt and Anger and Sadness boiled inside of her. "NO! NO! NO!" She banged the wood floor, leaving a dent. Tears running down her face from the pain of banging her hooves on the wood floor and the knife that seemed to run deeper into her the more she watched.
She heard the sound of hooves running down the hall. Applejack, Big Macintosh, Caramel. They looked down at her crying and screaming. Caramel looked guilty, and worried. Big Mac looked dazed and a little frightened.
Applejack came to console Rainbow Dash. She had no idea, but she could see the hurt in Dash's eyes. She knew about Rainbow and Caramel. She didn't know about Big Mac and Caramel, but the look in Dash's eyes said it all. They played everything she saw in every teardrop. Applejack rushed to hug her. Dash collapsed in Applejack's forelegs and just sobbed.
"Oh, uh, Rainbow Dash. How much did you see..." Caramel ended his words with a whisper.
"You." Rainbow Dash said with as much venom in her voice as she can muster. "You, betrayed me. You cheated on me. You had sex with him. Not only that, but you said you loved him." Rainbow Dash's voice cracked on her last word.
"Big Macintosh. Is that true?" Applejack said, now angry. "You knew about Caramel and Rainbow Dash, and you still went and did that. Granny Smith raised you better."
Big Mac looked at the floor, ashamed.
"Wait, baby, please, I didn't mean for you to see that." Caramel said. "I didn't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry."
"Don't call me baby. Don't talk to me, don't call me. Don't come near me." Rainbow Dash said, voice cool and even. "Why did you want me? So you could play with my heart? Eat my heart out? Use me to cover up your dirty lies?"
"Well-," Caramel started, cut off by Rainbow pushing him over and kissing him on the lips. She wanted to see if there was anything left. There was no response, no "excitement", no longing for him to be with her.
"Fine, I'm out of here. I see there's nothing left of us." Rainbow turned to leave with that. Celestia was beginning to rise the sun. "Some stallion you are..." Rainbow Dash flew away.
"Baby, wait. Don't go!" Caramel zoomed out the door.
