I wake up slowly forcing my eyes open to see a bright beam of light blinding me.

"What a weird dream..." I squint. "Heh imagine if Rainbow Dash was reALLLLLAAAAL?!"

I stare down wide eyed at the colorful maned filly snoring on my lap, looking very content with my body heat. It was real. All real. Smiling wide I remember finding her in that dumb box I thought was a shipment of supplies behind my office. My Office! I pull out my phone to check the time. 11:30. 11:30? ELEVEN THIRTY?! I'm never late for work! Never! I look at the peaceful pony. Man, I can't leave her alone! What if she gets lonely, hungry or really anything bad happens to her! The worst part is what if I don't go into work?

No. I have to stay home today. I gotta figure this situation all out. I sigh and slightly nudge the filly.

"Heyyy wakey wakey." I whisper in a nervous tone.

She slowly stands up on my lap, yawns, stretches' her little wings and looks up at me with a bright smile. AGAH- my heart it can barely take this! "Good morning! Heh, wow I didn't notice how dirty you were!" she sits looking at me with little spots of dirt covering her mane.

"Welp, I guess its bath time then!" I pick her up bringing her eye level. "Ready?" I ask.

She nods.

I guess she understands English but seems to not know how to talk yet. She defiantly is curious about this world though. Placing her in the tub I pull out a bar of soap. I show her the big letters that are engraved along the bar.
"This is soap." I explain.

She nods, again and I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to do but introducing her to my stuff might make her more comfortable in my home.

Twisting the faucet, Dash flinches at the water that comes out.

"No no no! Its warm! I promise!" I put my hand in the water swishing it about.

She looks at me then back at the water. timidly she put her hoof in and swishes it around. Looking back at me she makes a big dumb smile. I smile back.

The water now only keeps her head above the water.

"Alright Rainbow Dash, can I start washing?" I ask and of course she nods in agreement.

She's very different to the Rainbow from the show, If I can recall she hated other ponies touching her hooves or anything to do with washing. Though, I guess this one is only a filly and not the adult one. She seems to like it when I scrubbed her coat and cleaned behind her ears. She looks at me smiling the whole time.

Drying her was not bad either, except when right after I pulled her out she shook all of the water back on to me. I was not amused. Now I guess I'll call Jess that I'm not coming in to work. This isn't like me, not going into work that is. She'll be worried I bet, sigh okay here goes nothing! I pull out my phone and Dash looks up at me.

Brring, brring- click!

" Joey Jones! Where the HELL are you?!"

Me: "Well uh-"

"Was it because of me asking you to help with the supplies?"

"huh?"

J"I just thought - sniff - that I could ask and you wouldn't say no! B-because you always do what I say!"

What is going on? Is she crying!?

"Woah woah Jess! I'm not mad! Its fine really!"

Ahh! I feel bad but I need a good lie to get out of this.

"I'm just under the weather today I think I'll be able to come in tomorrow!"

"Did I overwork you making you sick?! Oh dammit! The karma!"

At least she's honest?

"Please take as much time as you need to rest! You've worked so hard here... you know you actually have 3 weeks of vacation days."

I- I have 3 weeks vacation?! Holyyy shoot.

"Um! Ah. yes COUGH COUGH I'm just sick! eheh! cya! Byeee!"

I look down at Rainbow with my mouth in an "O". My curse of being a doormat is finally being lifted, thanks to one little filly. I switch to a smile and pet the pony's colorful mane.

"Am I finally free?" I ask.

She turns her head confused. I shrug and I hear a small growl. Rainbow looks down bashfully. When I think about it when was the last time she ate? I have no idea but now's the time for a little late breakfast!

...

"What do horses eat?" I type into my phone. Rainbow looks at me across the island in the middle of my kitchen. My kitchen Has a little bar for some reason and Dash sits on one of those swively padded stools. She twists the chair impatiently.

"I know I know! You're hungry! Just give me a sec." I say.

Grass, hay, fruit, vegetables, salt? Salt really? It says horses like to lick big blocks of salt. huh. Well I don't have any of the other things since I am an unhealthy coffee and cereal driven demon so I grab a plate and pour all of the salt on it. This is risky but, I'll have to go to the local market and stock up on some horse food. I pass the plate to the filly.

"Welp, I'm going to go to the market to get some "Horse food" so just lick some salt while I'm gone and don't do anything bad!" Before I finish telling her what I'm doing she is already crosses her eyes looking down at the salt licking furiously. "Alright, uhh bye bye!"

I grab my keys and coat while Dash makes "Lem Lem" noises back at me.

Okay to the store I go...

Rainbows Perspective:

Guy left me with white cubes saying he's going to get "horse fooge". What is "horse fooge?". idk but these cubes are heaven. I like looking at them as close as possible when I lick. They are shiny like rocks but taste better. Rocks are ew. I sit on weird chair licking the cubes going "lem lem" when I lick. very fun.

The cubes ran out ): No more "lem lem" I sit on chair. Guy told me "don't do anything bad!" what's bad? Hmm. I hop off long chair and slam on floor with thud noise. Ow. Was that "bad"? it totally hurted so it probably was. I know what is not bad! Exploring! When I went exploring outside I found food in metal cans. Not yummy but I survived. This new place might have cans of food as well. I'm hunger.

I found can! It has flap on top but a plate below that opens it. I can open it when i'm on the plate but I can't reach even when I buzz my wings. Super frustrating! I'm hungry!!

"♪ SCREECH ♪"

AH! What was that?! It came from the wall. I look.

"♪ Scree rerererre screeechh! ♪"

It sounds like angry cat but like song? "

♪ Screerere ra tat ree nowww! ♪"

That is so AWESOME! Its like angry in nice sounding!

I run towards the sound. Its so cool! I want to know where its coming from. I put my ear to the wall. hmmm. I slide my head across the wall until I hit the door. I look up and see that metal stick thing. It opens doors rights? I jump up and grab the stick and pull it. the door opens! Woah, and the sound is even louder! I look and see a long room with more doors. The door to the left has lots of sounds coming from it!

"♪ scrrreeee wawawaw! ♪"

I run to the door, Its already a little open so I push the door fully open...

Joey's Perspective:

I lug the sack of veggies, fruit, and hay (They had hay at the store for some reason?) up the flight of stairs in a pant. Truly this has been a different kind of Tuesday for me. I should be at work doing Jess's biding, but no. Now I'm going to feed a cartoon character that is not from my world, and probably do her biding instead! No matter, I just need time to process my new life I guess.

Making it up to the hallway that leads to my residence I see that, oh no. The door Its-Its open. I drop my bags with a face a of pure shock.

"D-Dash?" I squeak out.

Running inside my apartment I turn my head from left to right in a panic. I see no filly and only hear THE GODDARN GUITAR FROM ZACK SURFERS ROOM!

"AHHGRRAAH!" I yell.

What if someone finds her and eats her! I mean, that wouldn't happen but what if she's taken for testing or lives under governmental watch forever! I don't want that! What do I want anyway? I just met her and she is probably better off without me. I'm just a doormat.

Looking down I sigh.

"Where is she?" I ask the floor.

Zack's music finally stops giving me some peace. Then the sound of two hooves clapping come from his room. I look over to the wall.

"No way." I whisper.

Bolting outside my room I see Zack's door slightly ajar. I swing it open in one grand entrance. Inside, Zack a messy haired grunge kid sits on his unkempt bed with a guitar in his hands. Right next to him is Rainbow clapping with a smile on her face, and my jaw drops.

"Heyy what's up man!" says Zack like there is not a fictional pony sitting right next to him. "this little dude yours?" he gestures towards Dash as she gives me a happy wave.

I am flabbergasted. Well, guess my secret's out. Not like I was going to be able to keep it for long.
