The Crimson Crusader

Chapter Five

First Friend

"Wow. I'm starting to see how Jesse and James feel when they get blasted off into the air." Amy said, still flying in the air through the sky from Pinkie’s party cannon. During her midair flying she notices that she was heading towards a house made out of clouds. "I hope that house can help break my fall." Meanwhile, Inside the cloud shaped house was a cyan blue pegasus with rainbow color mane getting herself dressed after reading a letter from a certain lavender unicorn.

"So Twilight needs help capturing an alien from another planet?" She said after finishing putting on her long sleeve black colored shirt, with a hoodie like vest over it, and magenta colored shorts. “I swear, that egghead better not have done something to scare her. Celestia knows we don’t want an alien invasion on our hands. Not that I can’t handle myself against an army of aliens, but I prefer not to be prob-”

"OUT OF THE WAY! FLYING HUMAN COMING THROUGH!" Yelled Amy as Rainbow Dash looked over to her right where she saw Amy heading towards her through an open window. There was a loud crash that could be heard coming from Rainbow Dash’s house as Amy was on top of the cyan pegasus on the floor of the cloud house. "Ugh....how can my body take this much abuse?" She thought while moving an arm around to try and get a hold of something to pull herself up. Though upon doing that, she would grab onto something soft and squishy. “Huh...I didn’t think clouds were this soft and warm.”

“T-That’s because it’s not a cloud you’re touching.” Rainbow Dash said as Amy looked up to see that she was on top of her...and touched her right boob. Both their faces burn bright red due to this awkward moment as Amy quickly pulls away from the cyan pegasus.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to cop a field like that!” Amy yelled as she noticed Rainbow Dash pulling herself up.

“It’s fine, wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened to me. Though it was with a colt...it didn’t end well in his case.” She said before eyeing Amy up and down. “You must be the alien girl named Amy, correct?”

"Let me guess? A letter from Twilight?" The human asked as Rainbow dash showed her a letter describing who and what she looks like.

"She pretty much sent us this letter. Not going to lie, but I was expecting you to be...well...alieny?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?"

“Well aren’t aliens supposed to be grey, with big heads, large eyes, and no fur on their skin?”

“.....I want to say that’s racist towards aliens...but I’ll let it slide for the most part seeing how I’m from a different country and what not.”

“Wait, you’re from Equestria?”

“No, I’m from a country called America. Ever heard of it?”

“That’s a weird name for a country.”

“And having a country named after a species of horse?” She asked as Rainbow Dash was about to comment, but couldn’t think of a valid reason for it.

“Okay, you got a point there. But in all honesty, I’ve never heard of a place called America. If we did, then there would be more of your kind walking about. So I’m going with the whole alien thing.”

“I’ll be the judge of whether or not I’m on a different planet or not...You wouldn’t happen to have a computer or something around here, do you?” Amy asked Rainbow Dash scoffed at the question.

“What? Don’t you have some kind of alien tech that allows you to access our internet?”

“No smartass.” The human said as a digital screen appeared in front of her. “I mean yes, smartass….wait what?”

“I bucking knew you have alien tech...how did you do that!?”

“How the hell should I know? I may be smart, but I’m not that smart to a degree. So far I’ve just been winging it.”

“....If you don’t mind me asking...what happened to you?” Rainbow Dash asked as the human looked over at Amy who had a tired expression on her face.

“Got anything to eat and a place to relax?”

“That depends, does your kind eat vegetables or meats?”

“First of all, I’m a human. And second, humans are omnivores. So we can eat fruits, vegetables, and meats. Though it depends, humans can’t eat certain plants.”

“So you don’t eat sentient beings?”

“I don’t. But certain humans do...mainly tribal people or crazy cultists.”

“....Okay you gotta tell me all about your planet. But first tell me about what happens to you first while I get you something to eat.” Rainbow Dash said as she headed into the kitchen while Amy followed after her as she messed around with the digital screen she brought up. “The name’s Rainbow Dash by the way. Fastest flier in all of Equestria.”

“Amy Anderson the Third. But I’m sure the letter pretty much said that. As for what happened to me.” Amy said as she went into graphic and accurate detail as to what happened to her over the past couple of hours. Mainly with Twilight wanting to experiment on her, Applejack wanting to kill her for destroying parts of the Apple Family orchards, and being fired out of Pinkie Pie’s cannon. So far the conversation lasted a good thirty minutes as the two were eating during the conversation. Once the human was done explaining her side of the story, she noticed Rainbow Dash trying her best not to burst out laughing as Amy deadpans at her.

“I-I’m sorry. I’m trying my best not to laugh...but dear Celestia are you bad at doing first impressions.”

“Oh yeah, because running away from a crazy unicorn lady isn’t a normal thing in this town.” Amy said sarcastically.

“No, but you’re the first that had that happen to her!” Rainbow Dash said before bursting into more fits of laughter. “But man, you have the worst luck ever. Especially seeing how you ran into Twilight of all ponies."

"Yeah I guessed that. Mind if I stay here for a bit?"

"I don't see why not. After what happened to you, I think you suffered enough. Plus we can mess around with that alien tech stuff that you got.”

“....I have no problems with that.” Amy said before pulling up the same digital screen as before.

“Oh neat, this thing lets you pick out weapons!” The pegasus said as she pointed a finger at a claymore with a punk rock like theme. Though the pegasus unintentionally touched the digital screen as said claymore appears in front of them in a digitalized way before becoming physical and landing in front of the two. “...I call dibs on it.”

“I doubt you could lift something as heavy as that.” She said before they both notice a piece of paper appearing in front of Rainbow Dash’s face. "Hey a letter" Amy pointed out as the pegasus snatched the paper from out of the air. "What does it say?"

“Sorry, but I need to head into Ponyville.” Rainbow Dash said before quickly zooming over towards the door of her house.

"How come?"

"Changelings are attacking the town, and I need to head down there and help the girls out" The pegasus said before kicking the door open and headed towards Ponyville

"H-Hay! Wait! How am I gonna get down from here!?" Amy as the human was left alone in a house made of clouds floating in the air. "Dammit."

The human headed over to where Rainbow Dash was as she looked down from the open window to see some part of the town was on fire. This pretty much got her in a pickle, she could head down to save the town from these changelings that Rainbow Dash said were attacking the town. Though there were two major problems behind that. One was the fact that she doesn’t have any combat skills other than hitting stuff with a stick, the other would be Twilight and Applejack who she knows would get her back for what she did in the forest and farm.

“Curse you conscious and wanting to do the right thing.” She said before taking a few steps back and charged right out of the door. Once outside she continues to run until she sees the edge of the cloud she was on and jumps off it. “I’m really hoping this fall doesn’t kill me!”
