From Beyond The Infinite

Anon puts down the bucket of apples and wipes the sweat off his brow with an arm "This should be the last one for today AJ phew!"

Applejack nods "As always thank ya very much Anon and here's your pay" she takes her hat off and pulls out a sack of gold coins as payment for the week and gives it to Anon

Almost immediately after the sack hits Anon's hands he notices that the sack is a little heavier than usual. Anon opens the sack to reveal quite more than the usual amount of bits "Hey AJ I think you gave me too much money"

Applejack shakes her head while putting her hat back on "Nah that's a bonus since with yall's help we've been able to fill more orders and grabin more customers in the proccess, consider it a thank you for you bustin ya tail"

Anon smiles and kneels down to hug Applejack in thanks of her appreciation. Then he turns to go to his house to prepare for the rest of the day "Thanks again AJ!! I'll see ya!"

"Enjoy your weekend Anon!" Applejack yells as she waves then returns to her abode

Anon begins jogging toward his house just outside of Ponyville when he notices a certain colorful Pegasus flying right next to him. As soon as he realizes that it's Rainbow Dash he trips and tumbles onto the ground

With a hearty laugh from Rainbow she helps Anon up after he starts laughing himself "Wow you don't even know how to land when you're already grounded!"

"You just startled me is all jeez what are you doing stalking me anyway?" Anon chuckles but can feel his pulse increase in speed

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go for a fly maybe spar a little if you don't mind showing me some 'Kung Fu' moves of yours"

"Right Kung Fu moves huh" Anon says in a whisper while turning his head to hide a blush "Yeah that's cool, just give me like an hour and I'll meet you at the Field where I usually train"

"You mean where I usually train but I get ya, I can just wait in your living room until you're finished getting ready" Rainbow lands next to Anon as they both start walking towards his house

With each step in awkward silence Anon's heart was beating faster and faster 'Wait did she just say she'll wait in the living room, calm down calm down, she's been in your place before, Hell she's the one that helped put the freaking place in order, it's gonna be alright' Anon puts a hand on his chest and begins slowing down his heart beat but failing when Rainbow notices this

"Uh Anon, you okay?"

"Yeah I'm okay, just catching my breath anyway yeah you can just wait in the living room"

After reaching Anon's house they both enter and Rainbow sits on the couch in the living room to wait for Anon to get done changing upstairs. After getting undressed the redressed with his training outfit on, he sits on his bed and thinks to himself

'After that night, every single time I hang out with her my mind goes crazy, today is the day. I gotta know right? or should I wait...' "hmmm" Anon gets up and starts to head downstairs 'I'll cross that bridge when I get there'

Anon gets downstairs and collects Rainbow and heads out the door "wanna race there?"

Rainbow with a smile looks at Anon with a look of determination "Of course I'm always down for a race, prepare to eat my dust Anon" she gets into a ready stance prepared to take off any minute

Anon matches her determination with a glance of his own and takes his stance "Three. Two...-"

"ONE!" Rainbow pushes off the ground with extreme force right before Anon rushes into the sky in hot pursuit. In the sky they seem to be neck and neck until they both spot the field they need to arrive at. Just like that Rainbow Dash pushes the limit of the air around her forming a familiar cone then *BOOOOM* an explosion of color speeds off in every direction. Anon is behind her even further now. Rainbow arrives and lands first and then shortly after, Anon lands, properly this time

"Hey you're actually getting better landing, yo've been practicing haven't you"

"A little but wow you have got some speed Dash, you remind me of a comic book hero. The Flash"

"Yeah but I bet I'm faster than that pony"

"haha Rainbow he's a human like me but I'm sure you can be"

Both Anon and Dash sit down on the hill just off to the side of the familiar lake

"Hey you are very awesome you know that" Rainbow said after taking in a breath of fresh air

"Wow that isn't something you hear everyday especially from the awesomest around" Anon looks at Rainbow Dash with a bit of confusion

"Scootaloo"

"Ah so she's told you about the training"

Rainbow looks at Anon with a smile "Yeah she has..." Rainbow clearly holding in some laughter "Sensei" then Dash chuckles but light heartedly

"Hey I figured this could be my shot to make it to bruce lee's level you know!" as Anon chuckles with Rainbow

"But for real that is pretty cool Anon"

"Hey if you want I can give you a crash course on using your energy properly, I've been thinking about your Sonic Rainboom here lately and here's my idea...

---------------------------------------------A couple hours later---------------------------------------------

Crashing could be felt on the ground with what is happening in the air above it. Clouds are breaking apart from the sheer force of the impact. Rainbow throws a spinning hoof kick towards Anon's side. Anon blocks the kick his forearm and smiles while throwing her away from him into a cloud. Anon flies straight toward his target.

Rainbow quickly changes the composition of the cloud that caught her into that of a storm cloud. She puts it in front of her and punches the cloud and a lightning bolt shoots out of it. The lightning bolt hits Anon and he falls towards the ground. he realizes what happened and spins to land on his butt instead of his head

Rainbow rushes to Anon wearing shock and worry as expressions on her face "OH MY GOSH! Anon are you okay??"

Anon looks at her with a small smile and chuckles a bit before answering her "Don't worry, I'm cool. not the first time I've been struck by lightning" 'Guess you could say not the first time I've been love struck either' Anon laughs out loud at his own joke in his head

Rainbow lets out a sigh of relief then hovers in front of Anon "sooo, you wanna keep going or should we call it quits for today"

He shakes his head "Nah we still have plenty of daylight left plus you're really close to battle prep your new ability, I think you should try it now, if you get it... I'll treat you this Sunday with your favorite restaurant" Anon flinching at his own words 'I wish I worded that differently'

Rainbow smirks "I won't fail then, free food, hanging out with an awesome Human, sounds like a great day to me!" Dash shoots into the sky, Anon jumps into the sky and grabs a cloud to sit on and watches Rainbow as she picks up speed

Dash flies straight toward a cloud to practice a series of punches and kicks before flying to Anon "I'm ready, you ready?"

"Yup" Anon stands on the cloud and gets into a serious stance and closes his eyes for a moment to focus and then opens his eyes along with his hands as if to catch something

"Okay then" Rainbow hovers just a few feet away from Anon facing away from him. She closes her eyes and focuses. "Remember what Anon taught me, focus my energy like I did with that cloud..." She opens her eyes and a cone of air forms around her hoof and forearm without even moving it. She cocks her hoof back and prepares to punch. Her hoof is shaking now and the cone is getting wrapped tightly around her hoof

"Release that power once you're ready!" Anon yells over the gusts of wind emitting from Dash

"Okay here we go, AHHHHH!!!!" *Boooom* Rainbow throws the punch and an explosion of color bursts out of her hoof. The shockwave from her own attack sent her flying backward at great speeds, However, Anon was behind her to catch her.

Anon successfully caught her but the force of her hitting him knocked both of them down on the cloud they were on "Hey are you okay Rainbow?"

Rainbow shifts herself, gets up and is now standing above Anon looking at him from an awkward angle making him blush a very deep red "Yeah I'm okay, a little shook in up but I'm alright" Rainbow notices how red and flustered Anon is and chuckles a little "I should be asking if you're okay, I did just smash into you back there" She says with a confident smirk

"Uhh" Is all that Anon could mutter. Before long he mustered up his courage to return to normal somewhat and gets up "Yeah I'm good" he says as he brushes his clothes off from any dust that might've been attached "You did fantastic Dash and before long you'll be more powerful than even me haha" Anon attempting to put back together his confidence

"Well with how red your face was I think I'm already there" Rainbow states in a murmur

Anon not hearing his Pegasus friend turns to look at the ground from the cloud they were on "Alright let's go grab some burgers or something then head home to rest up, I always love a good meal after training" Anon gestures Rainbow to come with him then they both jump off the cloud and land onto the ground

"Anon..." Rainbow says

"Yeah?" Anon turns to face Dash

"You are almost as awesome as I am so I was curious" Rainbow looks away for a moment to hide a blush "What are your thoughts on... Love?"

Just as the last word left Rainbow's voice his heart picked up speed. Anon had no idea how to react, he froze. 'Wait wait wait, is she seriously asking ME? Does.... does that mean she likes me? has to be. this might be it. The moment I've been waiting for. LET'S GO!' Anon gathers his composure and walks toward Rainbow "Love is power in every sense of the word, It can definitely make the impossible things possible and with it, no one is more awesome then someone who has a never-ending supply of it from someone else" Anon kneels in front of Rainbow Dash and nudges her shoulder with a fist "Why you ask? Like somebody? Hmmm?" Anon asks in a jokingly way

Rainbow looks up at Anon who has an encouraging smile "Well actually yeah, it's ----"

"Good Evening guys" a mysterious light blue male pegasus walks up from behind Anon and catches the attention of both of them

"Hello sir, Who are you?" Anon asks slightly exasperated

Rainbow jumps up and down and look at Anon with a surprised expression "You don't know?? I've told you bout the Wonderbolts! That's Soarin!"

Anon besting his inner irritation composes a gentle smile and extends a hand to Soarin "Nice to meet you I'm Anon"

"Hello sir, I'm here for Rainbow Dash" Soarin says as he finishes the hand/hoof shake and turns to face Rainbow "Hey remember when you preformed the Sonic Rainboom and saved your friend Rarity?"

"Of course I do!" Rainbow excitedly projects

"You were amazing back then as you were just a moment ago..." Soarin hesitated "I have something important to tell you"

Anon's heart sank a little bit in antispation at what response Rainbow was gonna give and how

"Yes??" She says with excitement and happiness

'Okay he is part of the Wonderbolts and it's kinda her dream to be one of them maybe it's an invitation' Anon hopes

Soarin looks at Anon then back at Dash "I kinda want it to be just us"

Rainbow Dash looked a little confused but in the midst of her excitement jokingly chuckled "Okay? When"

"I was thinking this Sunday, We'll grab some coffee early morning" Soarin say as he smiles at her then turns to walk away "see you guys!"

"Oh. my. Gosh! I can't believe that just happened" Rainbow turns to see Anon walking away "Hey where are you going?"

"Home"

"I thought you like a good meal after training?" Rainbow asks confused

"Love. I love a good meal after training" Anon says deadpan. He then turns around while still walking backwards, giving Rainbow Dash a fake smile "I'm just not hungry anymore, don't worry I'm cool. See Ya!" Anon turns and without waiting for a response blasts into the sky forcefully towards his house

Rainbow Dash hesitates to chase after him "What the?" Rainbow shocked at the sudden change in Anon's character left her frozen "What happened?"
