From Beyond The Infinite
The Fall
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Man we lost track of time" Anon says, gaze shifting from the lake to the now appearing stars in the twilight sky.
"Yeah we sure did"
The only sound heard was the distant chirps of grasshoppers and a bat here and there. Fireflies are starting to appear and illuminate the edge of the water. The moon shining a tad bit brighter than usual and full with only a few clouds scattered throughout the sky. Sun has set and the light of the cosmos provides a dim visability to the surrounding beauty that is this world.
"Rainbow Dash. I wanna see if I can get on a cloud, you mind helping me out?"
"Anon. You didn't even need to ask, I got your back" Rainbow says with a challenging grin, a look that Anon replicates in earnest
Both parties stand up in unison and Rainbow points to a cloud way up there in the sky, not the highest cloud by far but the cloud with the most fluff to hold two beings. Anon without saying a word of warning jumps and flies through the sky only focusing on the cloud. Rainbow takes off but soars right past Anon and gets on the cloud before him. Spreading his arms and legs slightly to slow his ascent Anon doesn't make it to his destination and stops jus about 2 feet away. A hoof emerges from over the edge of the cloud and Anon instinctively grabs the appendage. "Ugh C'mon big guy! hop up here!" Rainbow expresses while pulling up her friend, he grabs the edge of the cloud and his hand doesn't go through, Anon smiles at this
"Yes!" He pulled himself up and now Anon is sitting on a cloud. He checked out the cloud they were on and noted that the cloud was about the size of a queen size bed and way softer than any other bed before. "Wow Rainbow I can see why you like to nap on clouds so much, I gotta try it out myself onetime"
"Yeah cuz you're missing out, remember napping is necessary to being the fastest" Rainbow states as if she were a teacher
Anon scoots away from the edge and leans on his hands backwards gazing out at the view he hadn't noticed before. The mountains ahead are in greater detail now that there aren't any hills obstructing the view. There is a river flowing down the mountain off to the right side and the moon is hovering over the second mountain over to the left of the amazing spectacle. Rainbow opts to sit on the edge of the cloud and with back and wings toward Anon obstructing his view with her Cyan frame
"Hey... Why do you train so hard?" Rainbow asks glancing backwards at Anon for a moment only to return her gaze to the mountains
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you"
"Try me"
"No seriously if I were to tell you, you would think I'm crazy, like everyone else does..."
Rainbow turns her head back at Anon with a serious expression "Listen, I'm not 'everyone else' and besides I already think you're crazy" She turns her head back at the scenery before speaking again "So try me"
Anon felt a spark inside of him making him feel a little warm on the inside, a feeling just as foreign to him as he was to this world
"Well, I want to show everyone that anything is possible even if it literally isn't, it's a crazy notion but in order for me to do that I have to do something so crazy that it would be impossible to comprehend" Anon stops to take a deep breath in before starting again "I have to Break Infinity"
Rainbow chuckles slightly before turning her body sideways to offer more of her frame to the conversation "Infinity? isn't that the thing with like, no limits, plus it's only a concept right?"
Anon shakes his head and looks at the cloud picking at it "Yeah, like I said, it's crazy"
Rainbow looks at Anon for a moment and turns her body back to her original position "if it was anypony else , yeah they would definitely think you're crazy" She chuckles for a brief second "But not this pony" Rainbow turns her head to Anon "we're kinda alike, trying to do impossible things, but I truly believe that if anyone is as awesome as me and can do anything they believe they can, then they will"
Anon looks deep into Rainbow's eyes "are you saying that you believe me"
Rainbow remains locked in eye contact "I'm not just saying I believe you, I believe IN you Anon"
In this moment... Time seemed to stop. His eyes widened and all he could see was her. Nothing but her. His Heart was missing every other beat. And when his Heart did beat it was almost audible outside his chest. He fell. hopelessly and effortlessly just like the day he fell into this unknown world and she caught him, this time it was her that made him fall in every sense except literally. He noticed everything about her. The way the light traced her colorful mane, her sky-blue coat looks as soft as a cloud and as calm as the sky, The sparkle in her Magenta eyes magnetizes his gaze upon them. He's never been so certain about anything before. Rainbow Dash is the One. Always has been. Always will be.
"Oh my god" Anon said in raspy whisper almost choking on his own words
Rainbow looks at Anon with confusion "what's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" she says before brushing her face with a hoof
"No it's not you Rainbow, actually... It's getting pretty late I think we should get home" Anon scratches the back of his head and forces a small chuckle "guess what though?"
"What?"
"I can fly with you to your front door, considering that I can walk on clouds and all"
"Shoot okay let's go big guy!" Rainbow hops up and spreads her wings getting ready for take off
"Alright let's go"
They both take off to the sky toward Dash's house in the sky and it doesn't take long to get there. They both land right in front of Dash's front door. Anon looks up at the sky fortress and marvels at the sheer scale "Oh my--"
"God?" Rainbow cuts him off "That's the second time now" Rainbow smirks a little "Pretty big huh"
"That's what she said haha but yeah. Does it ever get well..."
"Lonely?" Rainbow and Anon look at each other for a second "Until I realize how Awesome I am, it does feel empty at times" Rainbow opens the front door to reveal a turtle patiently waiting by the front door "And that's why I have Tank haha"
"You know, even being prepared to see your pet because we talked about him earlier, still doesn't really prepare me to see a turtle in the sky but he is still Awesome. Just like you"
Rainbow chuckles a little bit "hahah Thanks Anon, say you wanna hang out again next off day"
Anon perks up almost immediately "Yes! of course! oh and one more thing" Anon bends to one knee in front of Rainbow Dash and hugs her much to her surprise "Thank you for believing in a crazy person like me"
Rainbow submits into the hug and rubs Anon's back with a hoof "And I won't stop believing either, so when you do Break Infinity I wanna be there to see the show"
Anon pulls her away back arms length "You front row seats AND a backstage pass"
