Nurturing the Heart
Training
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpeda grinned as she saw Pinkie's expression of pure bliss at the taste of the mix of sweet chocolate, crispy bacon, and of course the muffin itself. Speda was surprised that Pinkie actually got it down without problems, cuz while some ponies other than a pegasus can eat meat, too much wouldn't be good for them.
As she went in to take another bite, Pinkie did the same, and their lips meet for a brief few seconds, but to Speda it was amazing, and her face lit up in a red blush. She was nervous as well, but the pink pony didn't seem to notice they did anything.
After that, Speda gave the rest of the muffin to Pinkie, and she was delighted, and smiled thankfully at Speda, whilst Speda gave her a hug that explained more than words ever could.
"I've got to go now Pinkie Pie, got some training with Rainbow Dash to do, I just hope she's been asleep all this time, and that I haven't kept her waiting. Bye for now!", Speda said as she flew back in the direction of Rainbow Dash, and found said pegasus indeed awake, but with a grin, like she knew something happened.
"How was that kiss with Pinkie Pie for ya, Egghead. Was it good~?", Rainbow asked in her teasing manner, and then laughed like it was the best thing she's heard all day, but that just made Speda go dark crimson in color, and she started babbling nonsense.
"Ah, Im just messing with you, no need to get embarrassed. Now, as Pinkie said before, our 'date' will commence now! Think what you want whether it is a date or not~ Gotta catch me if you want a real one!", The cyan pegasus yelled as she flew almost as fast as a speeding jet into the air.
Speda, who was still a mumbling mess, with her face as red as a ruby, flew after the rainbow-maned pegasus, as quick as she could, but she wasn't nearly as fast as the other. She felt discouraged by this, and tried harder, kicking into speeds she didn't know she was capable of, but still wasn't quick enough to catch up. She still tried though, Rainbow Dash caught this,and grinned.
"If you wanna catch me, you're going to need to fly faster than that. I'll give you a time limit! Six months of training, and if you're fast enough then, I'll go to the movies with you, fair enough? GO!", The pegasus screamed and flew of again, leaving Speda in the dust. This would be discouraging.

After Speda and Rainbow Dash got back to the ground, one panting hard, while the other strutted around in pride, they said their goodbye's, and Speda went back into the Orphanage to catch up with the rest of her classmates, reading as many books as she could in one night.
It wasn't long before it was after two in the morning, that Speda passed out, and found herself in her dreams again, feeling the comforting feeling of her mother again. Speda beamed at Luna Moon, and threw her hooves around the mare.
"Mom! I met two ponies today, and they were so nice! A... And more than that..", Speda said with the blush from before appearing on her face again, and Luna Moon got a small teasing grin on her face. One Speda was quickly starting to recognize, and despise altogether.
"It seems that you found out about the joys of romantic feelings, hmm? Now we have got to meet these ponies when we arrive in three years.", Her mother said with a smile, and Speda grumbled a bit, but smiled realizing it was almost time for her Mom to return to Equuis, and she couldn't wait.
Speda sat up in her mother's embrace, and asked her the few questions that were on her mind. "Hey Mom? While I know we aren't biologically related, do you think you can help me learn some more magic, or at least something that might help me increase my speed? I want to be fast so I can..... Do something.. for somepony. And no, I don't want to cheat, I just want a good training program for it!", The cyan pegasus exclaimed, as Luna Moon smiled once more.
"Well there are some things that you can do, but first you must tell me who this is for.", Luna Moon said, and Speda knew she was in for a load of more teasing.
"Her name is Rainbow Dash. She has the most beautiful mane I've ever seen, and her eyes are like magenta colored pools. I don't know what to think about her except that she is one of the most beautiful mares I've ever met. There is one other that is equally beautiful, but she isn't the reason for me wanting to train, that would be Rainbow Dash.", Speda told her mother, not really minding if she teased her anymore, but was still expecting it.
"Well, then we guess we have a lot of work to do if you wanna be able to take her on that date then, don't we, my Princess~", Luna Moon spoke, and Speda smiled, and hugged her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can we get started right now?", Speda asked, but frowned as she felt herself get sleepy, meaning she'd be waking soon.
"Not now my little pony, but tomorrow, you will, yes. I hope you have a wonderful time, my Princess, and I hope no harm befalls you until we get back. I will give you the knowledge on what to do, but then we must part. I won't be coming back to your dreams tonight, or any other night until the Summer Sun Celebration. I love you, my Princess", Luna Moon hugged Speda, and while Speda heard what she said, she started feeling numb. She didn't know she wouldn't be able to see her again for a while, and that made her cry, hugging her mom tight, even as she felt the information being flowed into her mind, and her vision darkened, until she was asleep again.

It's been three months since Speda had started the vigorous training, not only for her wing exercise, but her magical prowess as well. She missed her mother dearly, but now understood why. She had to rest for a long while, to even have the energy to stand when she'd return.
Speda's body was quite athletic now, almost as much as Rainbow Dash herself, but Speda wasn't going to settle for half way. She sped through the air, quite quicker than she's ever been , and landed at Sugar Cub Corner, seeing her favorite pink pony, and smiled brightly at her as she landed. The pink pony did the same in return.
"Good morning Speda! I'm almost on break, would you like to share a muffin with me again?", Asked the pink party mare, and Speda chuckled.
"While I would absolutely love to Pinkie, I don't think you should eat so much meat, considering you are an Earth Pony, too much might be bad for you", Speda said, but the pink pony just laughed.
"Awww, well I'm happy you're so worried for me, but it's okay, I learned to limit my meat consumption over the course of the month, I'm safe to eat some for a while. Well, come on in, find a booth, I'll be with you shortly", The pink pony said in a relaxed manner, and trotted off behind the counter, while Speda sat in a booth close to the corner of the building.
It was a few minutes before Pinkie Pie sat in front of her, with a plate of Chocolate stuffed, maple drizzled, bacon covered muffins, hot from the oven. Speda drooled, as well as Pinkie Pie, and they all but stuffed one muffin into their mouths, before moaning in bliss.
While some raised their eyes at the noise, there was a few chuckles coming from a rainbow-maned individual who came over to their table, and saw the concoction.
"Dang Pinkie, I didn't know you made these, let alone eat them. Where'd you hear about it?", Rainbow dash asked, as Speda let her in on her side, while the Pink Pony just smiled, and pointed with her hoof at Speda.
"The first day we met, she asked me to make one, and when I went to make one for myself to try it, she offered to share, and it was amazing, so I decided to make it our daily breakfast together. You're free to have one, Dashie.", Pinkie said and Speda burst out laughing.
"'Dashie', huh? That's a cute nickname~", Speda teased with a grin, as Rainbow Dash started stuttering and blushing profusely in large embarrassment. Speda stated giggling a lot like the Pink Pony in front of her, and then they heard a small voice next to them.
Speda recognized the pale beige colored pegasus from that day, almost three years ago. And she seemed just as shy before, she still contained those kind eyes.
"C... Can I join you, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash? A... And who's this?", The pegasus asked, extremely quietly, but she managed to hear every word, and so she smiled brightly at her.
"My name's Speda Hooves, it's nice to meet you. What's your name?", Speda asked, and the pegasus eeped, and mumbled even quieter than before, but she still heard what she said.
"M... My name is F... Fluttershy. I...it's nice to m... Meet you too.", said the pegasus, and as Pinkie scooted out so Fluttershy could get in, Speda and Fluttershy shook hooves, although the beige colored pegasus was quite reluctant, and Speda understood that she was just exceedingly shy, which as normal for some ponies.
Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Speda almost finished their muffins, while Fluttershy looked slightly interested, she didn't know if she could push herself to eat anything that had meat in it. Which was okay with her, even if she felt a bit left out, until that is when Speda took off a piece of hers and gave it to her, and Fluttershy smiled a bit, accepting it, decided she'd be a bit adventurous, and took a bite out of it.
There was a loud girly moan of bliss from her, that everypony was extremely surprised Fluttershy could even be that loud. And everypony other than the three sitting there, blanched at the fact that Fluttershy, the Animal lover, ate meat, and loved it. There was chaos in the ponies minds that were there.
