Someday, or Maybe Tomorrow?

Before people give me grief about this, ponies DO have cars. Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkZ1kuW48Wo
Random oOSlowMotionOo fact: My birthday was yesterday (Feb. 4th). I can never look at the word "sociable" again without saying/thinking it in Spanish.

Lightning sat on the floor with Golden Miracle. She was playing with his long mane, and he smiled when she giggled or tripped over her hooves. She was adorable. As much as Lightning hid it, he wasn't happy. Every night, when he went to sleep, he saw visions of Caramel's games, and the chaos he brought.

He heard Rainbow whimper at night as she dreamed about her stay in the hospital. Needles plunged in her chest... IVs in her legs... surgery... fear. As much as he wanted to hide it, he had an uncontrollable anger welling inside of him, like an unquenchable thirst for revenge. He tried to be gentle with the baby and his new life, but he felt his thoughts turn to dreams of revenge when doing the simplest tasks.

"How did you guys hold up while I was in the hospital?" Rainbow Dash said from her place on the couch.

"We missed you." Lightning said. He picked up Golden Miracle and played airplane. "You should have done what the doctor said and took it easy! Two hospital stays in one month! That's expensive."

"How can I resist the sky! It was just amazing." Rainbow Dash replied. Lightning put Golden Miracle down. "You are doing pretty well for a Ponyville newbie."

"Yeah... Baby Blue? I need to ask you something." Lightning chose his words carefully. "Do you think we should move back to Cloudsdale?"

"No way!" Rainbow Dash knew why he asked. "Sure, I miss the city, but I'm not going to leave just because one pony is trying to hurt us. I'm stronger that that. You're stronger than that. We need to get through this together."

"Rainbow, It's been a month. We haven't done anything to get back at Caramel." Lightning got up and put his hoof on Rainbow Dash's chin, making her look him in the eyes. " Look, I'm tired of waiting. We need to do something! If we don't, then we need to leave." Lightning felt helpless. He needed to do something, but he couldn't.

"Zappy..."

"No!" Lightning lowered his voice. "We need to think of the baby. Who knows what he would do to hurt us. He could hurt Goldie. I can't put her in that kind of danger."

"You know what? I can't discuss this with you now." Rainbow Dash turned away. "I'm leaving in 20 minutes to introduce Golden Miracle to my friends."

"Baby, we need to discu-"

"When you come up with a plan, you can discuss it with me. I'm leaving, and I will talk with you later. I love you." She kissed him on the lips before grabbing Golden Miracle and disappearing up the stairs.

"I love you too. That's why I want to help you."

A horn sounded outside.

"Rainbow Daaaaaaaash!" A high pitched, sing-songy voice said. "Let's go! I have the whole day planned."

"Okay, okay!" Rainbow Dash jumped from the porch of her cloud home and landed gracefully. She stopped in her tracks. "What IS that thing?"

"It's a car!" Pinkie replied. "Like it? It even had a foal seat!"

"A car? How did you afford that? Only rich ponies have cars."

"Oh, I have my connections." Pinkie started vibrating. "Oh, okay! You forced it out of me! You know Sapphire Shores?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, she was a really big fan of my dad's rocks, so she was a frequent customer. I just went over there for a family reunion and I met her. We are close friends and I met all of her famous friends and all of their friends and all of their friends, and all of their friends-"

"Pinkie!"

"Oh, right. So she knew a car manufacturer and she gave me his number. So I became best friends with him and he gave me this baby for free! How awesome is that?"

"Pretty awesome."

"Okay, so let's go."

"Wait!" A voice from above called. "I want to go with you."

"Zappy? Are you sure?" Rainbow replied. "When we were in school you told me you always felt like an outcast if you visited someone else's group of friends, even though you are sociable."

"Yeah, but I don't have many friends in Ponyville. It's pretty important."

"Okay then. Hop in!" Pinkie said.

"Sure. Wait, you have a car?" Lighting asked.

"Long story." Rainbow said. "Okay, let's go."

"I've never been in a car before." Lightning said. Another confession, the real reason Lightning wanted to go, was to protect Golden Miracle. He would be dead if Rainbow found out he was doubting her. "I'm kinda nervous."

"Don't be! I'm a wonderful driver!" Pinkie said before starting the car. She pressed the gas and promptly swerved off the road into a fence, getting a glare from Rainbow Dash. "Oops."

Pinkie backed up and swerved and sped off towards Twilight's library.
