“Love is in the Rainbow”
Written by

Spike could not believe what just happened. He had warned Twilight that turning herself into a cloud was a really bad idea. Only now the dragon had witnessed a nearly unfathomable consequence of his friend’s action. If it would have helped, he would have faceclawed, but sadly he felt that would be counterproductive.
He looked at Rainbow Dash again. There was something unsettling in his stare, which left her feeling quite uneasy. Now she really wanted to know what he said. “Spike, what in Equestria is going on?” she asked uneasily. “You mentioned something about Twilight.”
Spike cast out a sharp sigh as he double-checked the barrel. Sadly it was still empty. Hopping back down from its brim, he faced the pegasus and said, “I did. You know that cloud you were napping on, and just kicked the water out of?”
“Yeah, what about it?” she asked, rubbing a puzzled hoof behind her rainbow color mane.
Spike swallowed hard as he forced himself to say, “That was Twilight.”
Rainbow Dash’s eyes widen as she felt quite a start. “What the…?” Rainbow rambled, having trouble comprehending the dragon’s words. “Are you trying to say, that cloud was Twilight…and I,” Rainbow gulped nervously, “Just drank her?”
Spike nodded several times. “That’s right. And now she’s trapped inside your belly,” he responded in a somewhat panicked voice.
Rainbow's face shifted to a rather cynical one. Shaking her head, she scoffed, “Spike, I think you’ve been hanging out with Twilight too long. She has you coming up with some pretty half-baked stories. You can’t be serious.”
This time Spike actually did faceclaw. He let out a frustrated sigh, before he reiterated, “But I’m telling the truth! That cloud you turned to water…and then drank was and still is Twilight.”
Rainbow stood on her hind legs and crossed her front hooves. She quickly pointed her right hoof at spike and said, “You’re crazy! Why would Twilight turn herself into a cloud anyway? What purpose would that serve?”
Spike went to answer, but considered keeping Twilight’s love for Rainbow Dash secret. After all, it wasn’t his secret to divulge. Realizing that every second counted, he quickly came up with a somewhat plausible explanation. “Well Rainbow Dash, you know Twilight loves experimenting with a wide assortment of magic. And the reason she floated up to you was…uh…um…she considers you to be a really good friend, and thought it would be neat…yes, neat, to know what it feels like to be one of the clouds you nap on.” Spike stood there with his eyes nervously darting back and forth, following his little speech.
Rainbow returned to all fours, and scratched her head with her left hoof. His story sounding feasible, but something about it just didn’t add up. It would be one thing for Twilight to want to know what it’s like to be a cloud, but why in the world did she also want to know how it felt to be one of the clouds she napped on?
The pegasus shook her head. “Spike your story almost makes sense, all but one part. Why did she want me to nap on her cloud body?” Rainbow asked, feeling somewhat stymied.
Spike scratched his chin with his free claw. “Um well, you’re her friend, and she knows you like napping…on clouds,” he mused. Rainbow Dash didn’t say anything, but instead she opted for a different approach. She knew Spike was hiding something from her, and she figure, giving him “the stare” might help loosen his tongue.
A few moments went by, Rainbow continued giving him a strong unnerving glare. Spike felt a nervous sweat pool along his forehead. He didn’t want to betray Twilight’s trust, but he knew time was running out, and telling Rainbow how she felt, might be the only way to convince the suspicious pegasus.
The dragon groaned reluctantly as he looked back at Rainbow Dash. He walked closer to her and sighed. “All right, you got me. The reason Twilight turned into a cloud in the first place is…because of how she feels about you. She cares deeply for you Rainbow, that’s why she turned into a cloud and had you nap on her.”
Dash’s eyes widened even more following this explanation. There wasn’t a trace of deceit in Spike’s voice, and now all the pieces started fitting together. Rainbow adjusted her stance, and could almost feel the water she drank sloshing around in her belly. A rush of anxiety began to fall over her as the harsh reality of the matter set in. “Oh my gosh! Spike…what should we do?” She bit her lower lip, and felt a shock befall her. “I…I…I didn’t just kill Twilight, when I drank her…did I?!” she gasped in terror, rearing up in alarm.
Spike walked over to Rainbow Dash. He gently placed a claw on the velvety fur of her shoulder. “Calm down Rainbow. I’m pretty sure, Twilight is still alive. All we have to do is figure out a way to free her from your body,” he spoke in an effort to calm the panic-stricken pony.
“And just how are we gonna do that?!” she asked, unable to focus due to her raging level of panic.
Spike put a claw on his chin. “Well, there are several options, but for any of them to work…we’ll need either a bucket or a container of some kind,” he remarked. The dragon glanced over at the worn-out barrel. “But I hardly think this barrel will do. Why don’t we just head back to the library? That’s where this whole mess started anyway.”
“Okay, but why don’t we fly to save time…or wait, will that make me process Twilight faster? Oh this really stinks!” Rainbow Dash groused bitterly.
Spike couldn’t help but laugh at her silly outburst. “Like I said, calm down. We can still save Twilight,” he said, hopping on Rainbow’s back. “Now flying should be fine, besides, it will get us to the library the fast way possible!”
“Okay then, Spike! Hold on tight! This is gonna be a quick ride!” she shouted, unfurling her wings. In seconds Rainbow Dash had taken to the sky, leaving Sweet Apple Acres. She raced across the skies of Ponyville, hopeful that there was still a way to save her friend.

She arrived in almost no time at the tree library. Slowing her descent, Rainbow skillfully touched down on all fours. “See Spike, told you it would be quick!” she declared with a grin.
Spike hoped off her back. “So I see. Now come on, let’s go inside,” he chirped.
Rainbow followed the dragon inside. She looked around and couldn’t help but notice just how trashed the place looked. There were books, and scrolls, and just about everything else the library housed, chaotically strewn about the once well-kept floors of Twilight’s home.
“Uh Spike, has Twilight been practicing tornado and hurricane magic in here?” she asked, unable to accept this sheer level of disorderliness in the unicorn’s home.
“No, this is just what it took for her to find the right spell to become a cloud, oh and to maintain her awareness, following the change,” he answered.
“Huh,” Rainbow Dash uttered, taking another look around the disheveled mess. Then she remembered why they were there. “Okay Spike, how can we get Twilight out of me?”
Placing a claw to his chin, Spike said, “Well you could put a hoof down your throat and vomit her out.”
Rainbow shuddered at the very thought. “Vomit? Are you serious? Ewww, I don’t want to do that! On the rare instances that I catch the flu, I hate throwing up. So try again Spike,” she groaned with disdain for his unwholesome suggestion.
“Um…how about if you worked-out and did a bunch of sonic rainbooms? You could then sweat Twilight out…oh wait, but there’d be no easy way to catch her as you sweat. Drat,” he groaned.
“Come on Spike, you’re her assistant, and you’re smart too. What else could we try?” Rainbow asked, still panicking, but not to the same degree she had been before.
The dragon walked over to a nearby wall and began banging his head against it, hoping it would help him think. After the fourth or fifth successive hit, he stopped. “I got it! You could cry her out…oh wait, you don’t cry…darn it!” Bellowed Spike, feeling like he was rapidly exhausting their options.
A few minutes passed and Spike suddenly thought of one final solution, but he thought Rainbow Dash would never go for it…or would she? Figuring this might be their only remaining option, he looked at Rainbow Dash with solemn eyes.
The pegasus looked at him, hoping he had a promising suggestion. “Well Spike? Do you have another idea?” she asked eagerly.
“I do,” he began, “But it’s a long shot, and I’m not entirely sure you’ll like it.”
“Enough with the stalling already! Tell me!” she whined.
Spike sighed, he couldn’t believe what he was about to propose to her. “Okay. The only other thing I can think of…is for you to pee Twilight out of you,” he remarked. Rainbow Dash gave him a funny look. “Well she’s currently in liquid form in your body. She has to end up in your bladder at some point. And we’ve eliminated every other alternative.”
Spike had a point, they were rapidly running out of time and options. And she knew she would have to urinate at some point anyway. This was the least objectionable option, though she still thought the whole idea of Twilight being inside of her was more than a little disturbing. Thankfully if Spike was right, this whole ordeal would soon be over. “Okay, Spike, that sounds like the best idea we’re going to have. Besides, I’ll have to take a leak sooner or later,” she remarked.
Spike let out a sigh of relief. Finally they had a plan. “Thank goodness.”
It was then that Rainbow Dash noticed the curious looking wand, Spike had clutched tightly in his right claw. “Hey Spike, what’s that thing you’ve got there? It sorta looks like a wand,” Rainbow noted curiously.
Even though he had been instinctively guarding the wand, the dragon had almost forgot he was still holding it in a death grip. “Oh yeah, this. Once we get Twilight out of you, I can use this to restore her to normal,” he explained.
Rainbow ran a hoof across her forehead. “Phew, that answers that question, and now I don’t have to wonder how we get her back to normal.”
“Yep. Oh yeah, I should go grab a container quick. We’ll need something for you to pee Twilight into,” Spike suggested. He quickly walked into the kitchen, looking for something Rainbow Dash could use. As he checked the cabinets for a container, it struck him just how absurd this entire day had been. “Aha,” he declared, selecting an appropriate container…or rather a large plastic mixing bowl.
Rainbow Dash stood in what used to be the living room. Thankfully there were still a few squares of bare wood floor to stand on. She looked up and saw Spike waddling into the room. The pegasus noticed the mixing bowl, held in his free claw, while the other continued gripping the wand for dear life. “So I take it that’s for me?” she asked reluctantly.
“Yes,” replied the dragon. “I hope it’s big enough for you. Um, if you wouldn’t feel too weird, I could hold it up for you. Besides, we’ll want to make sure to catch every drop of Twilight.”
Rainbow Dash giggled at him. “You know Spike, if Twilight wasn’t really inside of me, and you didn’t have as good a story, I’d think this was just some plan of yours to watch me pee,” she chuckled at him.
“Oh come on Rainbow Dash, this is hardly the time for jokes. And besides, I don’t have a urine fetish,” Spike replied, laughing on the inside at the true irony of that statement.
“Too bad, it’d been kind of hot if you did,” she said winking at him.
Spike felt his cheeks turn flush. Was Rainbow Dash just flirting with him? He quickly shook his head. Now was hardly the time to allow himself to be distracted. Remaining focused on Twilight, Spike gave her a less than enthused look. “Come on Rainbow. We have to focus…for Twilight’s sake,” he pleaded.
“I know Spike. But gee, I can’t believe Twilight has the hots for me,” chimed Rainbow Dash, in a rather intrigued voice.
Spike’s eyes widened. “Wait! I never said that! I only said she cares deeply for you,” he snapped defensively.
“Yeah, but it means the same thing,” she responded.
Spike rolled his eyes at her. “Just tell me when you have to pee, okay?” he groaned.
She giggled. “Okay. Seriously Spike, loosen up a little. If what you said is true, everything should be easy-breezy-one-two-peasy.” Then Rainbow Dash noticed something. She turned to the dragon and smiled. “Guess what Spike. It’s time!” she announced.
He looked at her curiously. “You have to pee already?” She nodded. Then a thought occurred to Spike. “Wait a minute, how badly do you have to go?”
She turned her glance to the ceiling and considered that herself. “Um…well not that urgently. Why?” she asked giving him a miffed look.
“We should probably wait till you really have to go. If we don’t, part of Twilight might be left inside you,” Spike advised.
Rainbow grimaced, but knew he was probably right. “So I guess we wait then?”
He nodded.
*******
Two hours had gone by. In order to pass the time, Spike and Rainbow Dash played a series of card games. Only Rainbow was beginning to tire of Go Fish.
The pain brewing in her nether regions was becoming quite unpleasant for the normally feisty pegasus. She had crossed her hind legs, in an attempt to by time for the rest of Twilight to filter into her bladder.
She tried to distract her mind form the pain and desperate cries for release her body kept sending her, as continued playing cards. Checking her current hand, she asked, “Got any 3’s?”
Spike grinned shamelessly and said, “Go Fish.”
She rolled her eyes at him and sharply replied, “I don’t want to Go Fish anymore! I want to pee! Come on Spike, it’s been over two hours now! I seriously doubt there’s a spec of Twilight that isn’t in my bladder!”
The dragon spied a nearby clock, and saw that Rainbow was correct. A little over two hours had passed. Setting down his hand, he turned to his friend. “Okay, let’s save Twilight,” he announced.
“Phew,” sighed Rainbow Dash. “Now where’s that bowl?”
Spike presented the bowl in his claws, with the wand tucked tightly under his armpit. “Right here!” he declared.
“Okay then, let’s get this over with,” she groused. “Holy cow do I have to pee. And are you sure you have to hold the bowl…and watch? I’m not that bad an aim…I mean this is “me” we’re talking about.”
The dragon shook his head. “If this were your normal bladder contents, I’d agree with you, but with Twilight inside of you, we need to catch as many drops as possible,” Spike repeated, shaking the bowl in his claws.
Rainbow Dash resisted the urge to roll her eyes and swiftly replied, “Fine.”
Spike walked close behind Rainbow Dash. She moved her colorful tail to the side, and lightly spread her hind legs. The dragon held the bowl close to her slit, and he couldn’t help but enjoy the view as he stood there. “Ready when you are,” he announced.
“Okay…here goes,” she responded. After a few seconds, Spike heard her let out a soothing sigh. Moments later it was followed by a strong jet of pale yellow urine, flowing from her crescent. The stream sailed directly into the bowl, slowly pelting against it. The sound of the pee striking the bowl and gradually pooling inside met the dragon’s ears. While he may have said he didn’t have a pee fetish to Rainbow Dash, the truth was that he did. Watching her fill the bowl reminded him of the times he used to share with Twilight, when they were younger. It had all started when they were playing hide and seek one winter. Their game went long and on the way back to Canterlot, Twilight had to duck behind a tree to take a desperate leak. Though that was years ago. Since then, Spike hadn’t known the pleasure of watching a mare answer the call of nature. That’s what made this all the more delightful to him. He did however, have to block the thought that Twilight’s essence was trapped in Rainbow’s flowing stream.
He sighed nervously as he made sure to keep the wand tucked tightly under his arm. To his delight the bowl began to fill with what he could only pray was Twilight. The distinct scent of urine reached his nose, so at that point, he could only wonder.
While Rainbow continued to pee, she looked back at Spike. She saw a half-mesmerized look in his green eyes. A heavy blush fell along her blue cheeks. The pegasus thought Spike had protested too much earlier. Part of her was a little embarrassed at peeing in front of him, and yet part of her was flattered that he seemed to be enjoying it so much.
A few moments went by and Rainbow’s stream began to lose power. Finally it came to a halt, followed by a few lingering spurts. She let out one final relieved sigh. “That’s all of it Spike. And it’s a good thing too. I was almost at my limit,” she declared, lightly shaking her haunches.
Spike set the bowl on a nearby table. Then he handed Rainbow Dash a pair of tissues. “Uh here,” he said, with a notable blush on his cheeks.
Rainbow Dash giggled at him. “So you don’t have a urine fetish, huh,” she remarked, taking the tissues from him.
“Um, oh, the wand! I’d better go check on Twilight,” the dragon chirped, changing the subject.
She laughed at him again, then proceeded to dry her dampened marehood. Once she had tended to her backside, she joined Spike by the table. “Well what are you waiting for? Change Twilight back to normal.”
“Okay,” said Spike. He placed the bowl on the floor, and held up the wand. The dragon could only hope Twilight had survived her time inside of Rainbow Dash. Touching the wand to the yellow liquid, a spark of purple magic crackled from the stick. Spike moved back, and suddenly the bowl began to shimmer with a brilliant purple glow. A mass of matching light rose up from the bowl and began morphing into that of a unicorn. Four hooves touched down on the floor, and the glowing form finished taking shape.
Spike and Rainbow Dash had shielded their eyes. Soon the glow had faded. The two hesitantly uncovered their faces. There, they saw Twilight standing before them. She had a rather puzzled look on her face, while she looked around the room. She blinked a few times and finally said, “Spike…Rainbow Dash…huh, the library…how did I get here?” Twilight studied her body and noticed she was no longer a cloud. “I’m myself again.”
The little dragon ran up to his friend. “Twilight, you’re back!” he cried, wrapping his claws around her. “I thought we almost lost you!”
“Lost me?” she asked feeling puzzled. “Spike, just what happened to me? The last thing I remember was being kicked into water…and then Rainbow’s lips coming at me,” Twilight noted. She thought back to that moment. The sheer thrill of having Rainbow Dash kiss her had made her feel faint. It led Twilight to conclude, “I think I must have blacked out.”
Before Spike replied, he looked over at Rainbow Dash, she simply shook her head negatively at him. Giving some thought to the horrible ordeal Twilight had just gone through, Spike figured that Rainbow was right, this was something better handled delicately. He gave the matter some thought, while Twilight continued staring at him, waiting for his answer. Spike smiled as he explained, “Well, Rainbow Dash nearly drank you, but I arrived in time to stop her. Then we poured you into a container, and brought you back here. I wanted to make sure we had the book handy, just in case the wand didn’t work.”
Twilight scratched her head, but the story made sense. “Oh well that’s good. But wait,” she said taking a sniff of her body. “How come I smell like urine?”
Spike was clueless on this one. Then Rainbow Dash quickly chimed in. “Oh, I’ll handle this one. I noticed the barrel smelled a little rank. Applejack told us that it was normally used to clean out that old dilapidated outhouse, it sat beside. So that’s why the smell.”
Twilight sighed. “Oh, well then that makes sense…I guess. Oh but wait, Rainbow Dash, if you’re here…then you must know…that I was…that cloud,” the unicorn said, hanging her head.
Rainbow Dash looked at her and smiled. “Yeah, Spike told me everything,” she said.
“Wait?! You mean…everything?!” gasped Twilight. Rainbow Dash nodded. “Spike!” she shouted at the little dragon. He quickly hid behind the pegasus.
“Relax Twilight. It’s okay,” Rainbow Dash replied. She happened to spy the copy of Daring Do And The - You Must Be In Love With Your Best Friend, laying on one of the only clean tables in the library. She held the hand made book up to Twilight. “You know something. I thought the hoofwriting in this book looked familiar. Special early release, huh? Honestly Twilight, if you have feelings for me…you should have just told me.”
Twilight felt her cheeks turn bright red, and part of her wanted to run in embarrassment. Despite herself, she stood her ground. She swallowed hard and forced herself to say, “Really?”
Rainbow Dash set the book down, and moved over to her. She placed a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder. “Really. I can’t say I’ve ever thought about you that way…well that is until now,” she responded.
“So you don’t hate me?” questioned Twilight.
“Of course not. We’re friends, and who knows what the future might hold,” declared Rainbow Dash.
Twilight looked at the beautiful pegasus with teary eyes. “Rainbow,” she muttered back.
"Say, do you want to watch me practice my flying and then maybe grab dinner?” asked Rainbow, smiling.
“I’d love to. But do you mind if I take a shower first?” Twilight asked, noticing the strong smell of urine still clinging to her. “I totally reek.”
“Go, right ahead. In the meantime, Spike and I will start cleaning up this mess,” expressed the pegasus with a wink.
Spike didn’t like the sound of that. “Oh boy, now I know why nothing good was going to come of you turning into a cloud, Twilight,” groaned Spike.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash started laughing at Spike. “Oh Spike, you and your worrying. But you know, that’s what makes you such a great assistant,” expressed Twilight, smiling thoughtfully at him.
He shared her smile and picked up a handful of books. “Well I’d better get started then,” he remarked.
Twilight smiled and then made her way to the bathroom. Once the door closed, Spike walked over to Rainbow Dash. “I don’t know about you, but I’m sure glad that’s over,” he said, letting out a relieved sigh.
“You and me both,” agreed Rainbow.
Spike looked at her curiously. “So you’re actually going to give Twilight a chance?”
“Yeah, why not? There aren’t that many decent stallions out there. And I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I do enjoy playing the other side of the field from time to time,” Rainbow confessed.
“But doesn’t it bother you to know she was inside of you…as water?” Spike asked raising his brow.
She waved a hoof at him. “Oh come one Spike. This is Equestria, strange stuff happens here all the time,” Rainbow remarked.
“If you say so,” he uttered. The two then resumed tidying up the library, while Twilight finished taking her shower.
It had been one interesting day indeed. But then like Rainbow Dash had said – it was actually quite normal, for Equestria.
