Rainbow sat on the bed in thought. There wasn't any doubt that he'd be back soon. And she had to figure out a few things before he got back. Mostly, what she was going to do about her feelings and her cavemate. Her mini selves weren't being of much help either. "I don't even know why you two are even here. You're not helping me make up my mind like you claim you are supposed to do."

"Isn't it obvious?" Bat Dash asked, reading a mini black book. "This is the first time you needed us for something like this. I hate doing this. But we need to read up on what to do."

"Agreed." Mini Dash sighed, reading her white book. "It's not every day you have a real crush on a guy… come to think about it. You haven't even had a thing for a mare."

"Yeah. I thought she'd hook up with AJ. Seeing how much time they spend together." Bat Dash laughed.

"Will you two knock it off and give me some advice before he gets back? I need to find a way to communicate with him and avoid doing something I'll end up regretting." Rainbow groaned.

The two smiled at each other before turning to her with smiles. "Like falling in love?"

Unbeknownst to Rainbow or the minis, that was the moment that he arrived at the mouth of the cave. "What? No. How can I fall for a guy that smells like he never heard of soap? Or even a brush? Not that the wild look isn't cool. But there is such a thing as style." Rainbow snapped. "I'll keep my promise. But that's it."

Thinking about what she said for a moment, the dog-like thing flew off to a nearby forest. Once there he quietly looked for a lake or river. As soon as one came in sight he found a spot to stash his cargo before approaching the water.

"What is this I see? A stranger from the trees?" A voice said for his right. As he looked over, he saw a zebra approach. "Do not fret. I am no threat." She said as she approached. He growled softly before turning and slipping into the water. "May I ask, what is your task?" He growled again and started to lick his furry, and scratched at a few spots. The zebra smiled as she quickly understood. "I see what you need. I can help indead."

Looking over at her his eyes narrowed. "Do not worry." She comforted. "I will be back in a hurry." She called before rushing off. He rolled his eyes and went back to grooming himself.

After several minutes of waiting the zebra finally returned with a basket. "Some soup and soon you'll beam." She praised. Knowing he didn't have much of a choice he let out a sigh as she went to work.

Rainbow decided to take a nap and hope she can clear her mind. Thankfully for her, Luna was already waiting for her with a soft smile. "With how hectic things are. I thought you could use a calm night's sleep."

"Hey princess. You got my message." Rainbow cheered before giving her a hug.

Returning the hug Luna laughed. "Of course I did. Your friends were worried about you. Do you want to talk about it?"

"I… had to make a deal to get the message about what I found out about the crimes." Rainbow sighed. "And I… I'm worried…"

"What deal?"

Rainbow took a deep breath. "I made a deal to pleasure the guy that saved my life and…"

"You fear that this deal may turn into something more?" Luna asked, focusing on the important part and not wanting to embarrass her by asking for details.

"I thought you'd be more worried about me making the deal to begin with." Rainbow replied in shock.

"I believe that you would do what is best. But you don't seem as confident." Luna sighed. "Do you have feelings for him? Or are you scared he doesn't feel the same?"

"I don't know. There's no way I can. I don't have a way of communicating with him." Rainbow huffed. "I don't know what to do."

Luna smiled softly. "Do not worry Rainbow. It has been my experience that if you truly love each other, before long you will not need to worry. Just trust in your heart. And the two of you will understand each other."

"Thanks." Rainbow sighed. "Please don't tell the others."

Luna smiled. "Fear not. Your secret is safe with me. Now, I believe it's time for you to go and see your stallion."

Rainbow woke to find the minis smiling at her. "What?"

"So. Were you dreaming of him?" Bat Dash asked bluntly.

Rainbow huffed and looked away. "No."

"Then why are you blushing?" Mini Dash teased.

Rainbow thought for a moment and sighed before looking at the mouth of the cave and went slack jawed. The two minis blinked and looked over before mirroring her reaction. "Fuck… me." The three whispered in unison.
