Morning. Ever.Prologue:Thanks everypony for all the support and comments for my last story. I enjoyed writing the fic and felt it really needed that ending. Although a book may have a sad ending, the sequel can still redeem it... Please note that this chapter (only!) is second person from Rainbow's perspective . The next ones will not... Let us continue our story =========================================================================== Prologue "Another bit... Another day! =========================================================================== You toss and tumble in your heavenly cloud bed. Those dreams haunting you in your sleep again. You quickly get up, checking your neck you have a cold sweat. It was that dream again. The day you wrote the letter and cowardly abandoned your colt-friend, your lover... your best friend. You think it over to yourself again and again. How the hell am I the element of loyalty!! I couldn't even go through flight school with the only pony I loved... You bury your face into the airy cloud pillow and let out the waterworks. Nopony had ever seen you like this before and you want to keep it that way. You keep your emotional side to your bedroom; your reputation would be ruined if the town saw you acting like a lovesick filly. All around you are the many posters and souvenirs that lined your dorm room walls and shelves. You keep them there to remind you of Lightning but the pain of leaving him still creeps up on you. You quickly scramble under your bed and fumble about with a cardboard box. You carefully pry open the old container and spot you’re most cherished, favourite memories inside. The ticket Lightning got you on your sixteenth birthday. Beside it lay the autographed picture Lighting also got for you on that occasion. Around them lay the many other memories of Lightning taking you out on the best nights of your life. You quickly slam the box shut and shove it deep under your bed. You break out into another wave of tears that soak into your pillow and sheets. "WHY DID I LEAVE YOU LIGHTNING!!!?” You slam your bead onto the pillow and sit in silence for a moment. Eventually, you decide to get on with life again and put on your brave face. You slowly drag yourself to your bathroom and stare into the empty mirror. From the reflection you can see a pathetic pony who left the only thing she loved in the world because she couldn't handle schoolwork. You examine yourself closer and start to rub your eyes, now puffy and swollen from the teary outburst earlier. You turn to make your way into the shower when a thought quickly creeps up into your mind. *SIGH* That's like the shower Lightning used to make love to me in... You can't help but chuckle lightly at remembering your passionate moments. back then, you were either eager to try 'new' things or just a really horny pony. Either way, a typical teenage pony. Upon remembering Lightning again, you can’t help but start to break into tears again. You quickly turn the shower onto highest blast on cold and start to wash your body. ======================================================================== You dry yourself quickly, trying not to think back to how Lightning used to do things for you and to you. This was just another one of those days. Those days when you feel your past is going to haunt you again. These episodes used to happen every night for the first year. Then every other night and eventually now... only about twice a month. You dry your multicoloured hair and furiously rubbed it to get your signature rugged look. you check the time and quickly remembered your task for the day... Somepony needed to clear the sky and you were the only pony in the weather clearing team here. You could say it was just another day. Another day for another bit to be earned. You jump out your bedroom window, apathetic enough not to use the front door. You make a steep dive towards the ground but quickly pull up giving a moderate ground clearance. You weren't showing off for anypony today so why try hard? You head off in search of those pesky clouds and make quick work of clearing the sky. In a whole hour you were done with the day's work. Another 200 easy bits in the bag. You make your way back to your cloud home but you are quickly interrupted by a quiet voice coming from below. You look down and spot a tiny orange Pegasus on a scooter. Scootaloo. You stop midflight to greet your admirer. You give her a polite wave. She shouts out something to you, though you barely make out what she’s saying... "HEY RAINBOW DASH!! THAT WAS SOOO AWSOME" "I know, kid..." "I'M SURPRISED FOR ALL YOUR TALENT; YOU'VE NEVER MET A NICE STALLION TO BE WITH!" You heard her clearly that time. You feel the piercing remark go through your heart. You hold back a tear and just continue flying back to your cloud home. In the distance you can hear her calling out to you. You don't look back, making the shortest possible flight possible to avoid any other ponies. ========================================================================= Landing just outside your home, you spot a pink envelope on your doorstep. By the looks of the crater in front of the doorstep you presume derpy had just delivered the mail. You quickly grab a piece of cloud and repair the huge dent in your floor. *SIGH* Lightning used to crash on my doorstep You block your distant memories and open the pink envelope. The distinct smell of baked goods immediately fills your nostrils and by that you know that this was sent by Pinkie Pie. Inside, the note was a bright, multicoloured invite to another one of her meaningless parties. You look at the time and notice the party to start in just about 20 minutes. She never was known for planning parties days in advance like a normal pony would. Sure, just a "WHY DONT YOU COME IN 2 MINUTES!?!?" You pause momentarily in your thoughts and take a deep breath. You can feel your heavy breathing and see your chest rising as falling with your lung size. You feel the individual beads of sweat trickling down your neck, you were feeling real agitated today. Everything just seemed to rile you up. It could be down to you missing Lightning or maybe it was just your PMS acting out... "I guess I'll go... Nothing better to do anyway." You take a gently flight high in the sky where nopony will see or bother you. You take the time to contemplate your life and what you've done. You look at your life goals and how you want to get there. you question what do you really want in life? "I want Lightning back..." Shit... All this thinking is making my head hurt... You quickly end your day dreaming flight and head over to sugarcube corner. You push the door open and quickly sense the jolly atmosphere inside. The entire place was covered in an array of decorations panning from balloons and streamers to ribbons and confetti. The whole crew was there, doing their own thing. Fluttershy was the first one to spot you; she waves politely and beckons you to come over. Fluttershy was and still is the only pony to know about what you got up to in flight school. Every time you spot her, you notice her changed personality from the Academy. She did complete her final year with Thunder but after they graduated... they just made their own ways. Or as Fluttershy decided to call it 'We took a break from each other'. You used to pester her about what happened to Lightning. She would tell you that besides being a quiet pony who just got on with life, he truly missed you. "Um... Rainbow Dash?" You snap out of your depressing daydream... "were you thinking of him again?" You look into Fluttershy's eyes; she has that comforting, caring look about her. You feel half your worries melt away and let a small tear out. "Yeah... I was Flutter's" "Hay ya two! Whata yer up to? You turn around and spot Applejack with her Stetson hat. She stare you in the eyes and can instantly read your mood. "Are you okay sugarcube?" "I'm fine Applejack." "Okay then... Just makin sure you two were fine." You leave the small corner Flutterhshy is hiding in and quickly join the rest of the group with the celebrations. You spot Pinkie being... Pinkie by the buffet table and notice Twilight giving some sort of lecture to Rarity. Applejack was busy making sure Pinkie didn't destroy anything but was happily sipping her mug of apple cider. Damn... I could really go for a cider right now... "Rainbow Dash!-" You turn to the sound of the voice, you see Twilight make her way over to you accompanied by Rarity. you dread having a dramatic encounter with Rarity. "-Just the pony we wanted to talk to!" "What do you mean?" "Well... The mayor just told me something I’m sure you're happy to hear." "I'm finally getting a raise for my work?" "ehh... give it another year. BUT now you get to be a boss!" "huh?" Rarity quickly interjects. "Darling! Some handsome new Pegasus is coming in as a weather pony this afternoon! I heard he's quite the charmer." "So what?" There's a quiet pause in the room. Most of your friends have stopped their shenanigans and are focused on your conversation. You spot Twilight gibing a very nervous look towards the ground. She starts tapping her hoof on the wooden floor. "Well... we thought maybe this would have been... a good opportunity to... You know, meet somepony that could be good for you." "WHAT? WHY?" Pinkie Pie quickly jumps into the conversation. "BECAUSE SILLY, you've been acting all depressed and lonely so we thought maybe a nice stallion would be good for you!" "You want me to date him?" "Yeah! You get so angsty sometimes and maybe you could use somepony to... ease any tension you might have" "So you want me to fuck him?" Twilight can’t put on any straight face. You can see the sneaky smile on her face. "Pretty much..." "Ah mean... It's not like you've ever gotten laid before Rainbow but maybe a relationship would be healthy for you." "Applejack! you too?" You look at the whole ring of friends surrounding you. Every one of them seems adamant on making you meet the new pony. Only Fluttershy had been left out of the circle. You turn and spot her just next to the buffet table. She clearly notices how awkward this situation has become and does her best not to interfere. You don’t want to meet some new pony, even if he is the most irresistible Pegasus anyponmy could ever see. You can feel the anger and sadness creep up on you. You try not to let it spill but the other keep going on about how good it could be for you. "Rainbow dear, look, this fellow might just be the one for yo-" "NO!" You smash your hoof on the ground. Everypony stops talking and looks at you. On your face, you can feel the tears streaming down your cheeks. "I had only one pony I ever loved in my life. He was the most awesome, coolest and kindest colt I ever met. Sorry to disappoint you all but I’m not a virgin." You hear an array of gasps from your friends. You continue with your outburst. "He made love to me like no pony could and I would never, ever break my promise to him!" An awkward silence creeps up on you. You feel your heart racing and your lungs racing to fill themselves with air. You look around you; all your friends are in shock. You decide that now was the time to leave. You slowly make your way out, nopony else makes a move. Before you exited the building, you quickly shouted out a last remark to the group before flying off to your house in tears. "FLUTTERSHY ALSO GOT LAID WITH HIS BEST FRIEND!" You could almost hear the multitude of gasps, shrieks and faints in the bakery behind you. You feel horrible for doing that to Fluttershy but also for your friends. Maybe they were right; maybe you were just being a bit bitchy. Fuck it... I'm going to make this pony's life as hard as possible if he makes a move on me You once again dive into your king sized cloud bed and bury your head into the pillow. After a few minutes of teary cries, the entire bed had swollen up, saturated with your teardrops of sorrow. Suddenly you hear your doorbell ringing. You know it to be the newcomer. You reluctantly get off your bed and make your way downstairs. You grumble under your breath hand take a painstakingly long time to get down. Eventually, you make it to your front door. You quickly unlock the door and swing it open. You look down from his hooves and turn your gaze slowly upwards. You spot the same coat colour and cute mane you remembered years ago. Your eyes finally meet his, those same adorable eyes you fell in love with back in the Academy. You take a step back and drop your jaw in surprise. You don't know what to say. It was him... "Uhh... Hiya Skittles!" =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You get reacquainted with your long lost friend... =========================================================================== SEE! Not all that bad! I'm sure you were all expecting that right? Comment are still very much appreciated The next chapters will be back in LS perspective. Chapter 1: Where your Loyalties LieGAWD. Sorry for the long absence in posts everypony! Besides internet issues and having to move houses. I just didn't have time to write or post anything. I'm trying to get the next chapter up before Sunday, hopefully... Meanwhile Enjoy =========================================================================== Chapter1: Where your Loyalties Lie =========================================================================== The previous day... You pack your small and trusty saddlebag with your worldly possessions. Besides your close memories and your bits, you have nothing else of value to bring with you. You were sick and tired of living in the big city. This sort of life just wasn't meant for you... Since you graduated from the Academy, you went on to play wing ball on a professional level. At first you admired the glitz and glamour of the celebrity life. You were doing what you loved best and got some reputation for doing it. Then came the endorsements, and sponsors. Then the contracts and all the deals. Going on a tour here, travelling for miles there. You often ended up living in Canterlot, leaving your beloved second home Cloudsdale. You would be signing a contract for a club but you hated it. It was like selling your body to them. You were sick and tired of a life in the limelight. So you chose to leave. You made a sudden drop out of the wing ball teams and competitions, nopony saw you for weeks on end. You flew back to Cloudsdale and got busy sipping cider on a lounge chair while enjoying the peace and quiet of your high-rise penthouse. But it wasn't in your nature to just sit back and relax. You had that thirst for adventure and excitement. You wanted to work... What other jobs were there for a Pegasus in Cloudsdale? One day you just woke up and trotted over to the weather department. You were young, twenty years old, single and graduated from the best Pegasus Academy in Equestria... So you worked as a cloud clearing pony. The months went by as you took pride in your work. In strikes you that you never did this earlier. Wing ball was definitely more fun and challenging but now that you think about it, it's much better as a spare time activity than a job. Of course, nopony like you could ever work a job like that and not meet any other such opposites. You always had a bit of tension in you, and some of your colleges never minded some casual sex. You still never forgot the letter back in flight school. You promised not to have any other relationships with a pony until you either saw Rainbow Dash again, or she moves on. Either way, having an old flame find you snuggling in bed with another pony doesn't bode well for your health. It was the same routine every day. You got up at six. Started work at nine. Clear the damn clouds by lunch. Then clock out for the day. The work was never that exciting and the pay was definitely nothing to shout about. The sad depressing routine slowly became repetitive and monotonous. Day in, day out. Every day, you're fussing. On the occasional evening, maybe some nice pony from PR (Pony Resources) offered you a good time in bed. Nothing serious, it was just good for your mental health... that's what she said at least... Somehow, word just got out that you used to play wing ball. Everypony around you started to notice. Ponies would bug you out in the streets. Fans would swarm you for pictures and autographs and the press were like blood sucking parasprites. All the fame and attention also affected your work life. You could say the other ponies in the office got jealous of you. They wanted you to become what you didn't want. Of course you couldn't keep up with it. You've been putting up with it for the last 3 months and it's driving you insane. One night, you took the largest saddlebag you could find and stuffed anything and everything you could take into it You grab you bad and quickly leave your apartment. You avoid taking the elevator and decide to fly out the window down to the ground floor. As you reach it, you toss your penthouse keys and half a month’s rent onto the front desk. You didn't bother catching the puzzled look on the receptionist's face having hundreds of bits land on her workspace. You make a b-line for your office, hoping to avoid any fans along the way. You quickly make it past all your colleagues and quickly get to your manager's office. You knock politely on the door. There's a brief silence, you feel the sweat drops on every inch of your body. A quite but commanding female voice comes from inside. "Come in" You slowly open the door and spot your boss lounging on her swivel chair. She smiles at you and gives you a slight hint of a seductive manner. one night, you both decided to leave work late and she needed somepony to escort her home. Somehow, she couldn't let you go without a reward and a pay raise would have been so much better but you allowed for a more 'satisfactory' reward. "Umm... boss, I really need a huge favour." "Lightning... Can't it wait until this evening?" "Nonono... It's not that. I need to move." "Move? what's wrong with here?" "I need to get away from this place..." You hear that regrettable sad sigh. Most ponies’ you spend time with usually end their time with you with a sigh. Why do you let so many mares down? "Fine. Where do you want to move to?" "I just want any place where there's a position open and the ponies there don’t know shit about Cloudsdale" "There is a position open...here. There's only one cloud clearer there and it looks like she could use as spare pair of wings." "Thanks Twinkle" "I told you no pet names! I am your boss!" "Not anymore" You quickly grab the transfer sheet and high tail it out of the room. As you swoop through the office hundreds of papers fly off in every direction. You didn't care. You just needed to get away from here. You had no time to even check the sheet. In no time you make it to the train station. You try and keep a low profile as to not attract unwanted attention. You avoid all the main roads and flight paths and stick to alleys and small streets. You run up to the ticket booth, slamming your hooves onto the counter. You nearly give the pony on the other side a heart attack but the old stallion quickly recovers from his shock. "Um I need a one way ticket to...-" You look down at the name of the small town- "Ponyville?" "Sure thing, pal" The pony hands you a small white ticket. You pay the necessary bits and head out of the ticketing office. You can already feel the sweltering heat of the late morning sun on your body and quickly head for the appropriate platform. ============================================== 20 minutes later ============================================== You happily enjoy your comfortable ride on the near empty train. Since the station, besides the conductor, nopony had bothered you. You look up at the clock and notice the time. You stare out your window and also spot the station of the small town coming into view. Besides some few shops, houses and a few scattered municipal buildings scattered about, you see nothing but empty undeveloped grassland. Further in the distance you spot a huge apple orchard growing larger by the second. The train comes to an abrupt stop and you quickly disembark. You look around and see nopony on the only platform here. You quickly strap on your saddlebag and take to the skies for a good vantage point. As you fly higher and higher, you spot a floating cloud home in the near distance. The rainbows flowing down from it provide a huge sparkle to the whole thing. You quickly make towards the appealing home in the skies hoping to ask for directions. As you approach, the architecture and nature of the building start to remind you of your old schoolmate Rainbow Dash. The thoughts of your time spent with her start to fill your mind and you slowly wipe a tear forming on your cheek. You make a soft landing on the semi solid cloud, landing with a slight thump. You look to the door and knock politely and quietly on the door. You feel beads of sweat forming on your body as you wait for the pony to answer the door. Inside you can hear the faint sound of hooves loudly making their way to the door. Somepony's had a rough day... The door quickly swings open and you quickly spot the flurry of cyan fur and rainbow mane. After all those years alone, you turn up at a house and have her open up to see you at her front door. Since your school days, she hadn't grown too much but she certainly had matured a bit. Her body was now larger and those curves just looked much more defined. You both stand there in a mixture of amazement and shock, startled to see each other in such spontaneous circumstances. You feel your leg muscles tense up and lock. You want to do something but you just can’t feel it in you. She also stands there with her mouth agape, clearly stunned at seeing you. You can’t help but think of how cute she looks when she’s surprised like that. Eventually, you open your big mouth and utter a quite greeting. "Ummm... Hiya Skittles!" Before you know it, you feel yourself blinded by her actions. She quickly leapt off her hooves and jumped onto you. You quickly lose balance and fall over onto the cloud ground, crushed by the cyan pony smothering you in hugs and kisses. You don't resist and quickly return the gestures. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME!??!" "umm... Missed you too Rainbow Dash" You feel quickly overwhelmed by her body, gently but teasingly rubbing against you. You quickly try to hide your arousal but you are quickly spotted by Rainbow Dash. "God, Lightning. Only what? 3 minutes after seeing my and you want to fuck me?" "You're laying on top of me Dashie" She slowly gets off and pulls you back onto all four. You both stand there in an awkward silence avoiding eye contact but both giggling at the reunion between you two. You look at Rainbow dead in the eyes and strike up conversation. "Actually, I'm here to look for the weather manager for Ponyville..." "You're looking right at her!" You stare at her, she jumps into a pumped up pose and smiles delightfully at you. It quickly hits you that you're new boss was standing right in front of you. Her face also quickly changes when she thinks about your question. "wait... are you the new po-" "Pony in town? yeah..." "OHH MY GAWD! I'm our boss and you're my slave!" "WHOAH! I'm an employee" "Sure... Anyway, were going to have so much fun..." She quickly leads you by the hoof and drags you inside the house. You try and say something but you are quickly stopped. You're mouth it covered by a hoof and she quickly slams the door shut. She looks at you with a seductive look and lies down on her couch provocatively. "Can we fuck now and talk later lightning...?" "Are you sure about that Rainbow... I mean we just met each other after what? 4, 5 years? Maybe we could just-" You feel a strong grip pull you down onto the couch. You fall beside Rainbow Dash, in a very compromising position. "Now lick..." "Come again?" "You heard me..." Celestia save me... ================================================================================ You both lay panting on the sofa, limbs intertwined and covered in sweat. After your "workout" with Rainbow Dash, you both feel the energy sucked out of you and lay motionless where you lie. Between pants, you hear her put together a barely coherent sentence. "Ohhh damn... I missed having that feeling of you in me." "Yeah, and I forgot just how tight you were compared to those other ponies." "Wait what?" "I mean, not that they compared to you!" You just realised how much you screwed up and quickly get up from your seat. You start to feel the churning sensation within your stomach and try your best to handle the situation. "How many ponies have you been sleeping with?" "A few... Hey I'm entitled to a sexual life you know. It's not like I had any more relationships!" "Yeah... I'm sure that’s what you told them as you made love to them!" "Come on Rainbow! Some ponies just need to let out a little stress once in a while. Ok?" "Oh and you think I've been going around, screwing random ponies, huh?" "I still love you Dashie!" "Forget it. I don't want to see you anymore!" She quickly gets up and flies out the window. You quickly try to catch up to her but she turns around and you and growls ferociously. You back down and let leave the room. You collapse back into her sofa and pummel your frustration into the cloud furniture. You think to yourself why you had to be such an idiot. You decide to pick your sorry ass off the sofa and look for the mare you just upset. You quickly get off and fly out the door, promptly making your way out to the town of Ponyville. As you gracefully take to the skies, you start to contemplate what Rainbow Dash really said to you. Maybe she had really been waiting all this time for me... You start to feel the anger inside you fill up as you realise how long she had been waiting, alone and without company. For all these years, she had never dated anypony else. You start to realise just how loyal your Dashie was to you and you let that slip out of your mind. You hastily spot that bakery you passed on the way into town. You make out the sign and easily distinguish it from the other buildings around it. Sugarcube Corner You trot on in and find the foyer filled with a few ponies, all huddled together, chatting in a group. You notice the four of them, a bright pink earth pony with the bubbly mane, and a cute little purple unicorn with very a straightened mane. There's also a very stylish ghost white pony with mane styled in an artistic fashion. Then there was the other pony. The hot looking Earth pony who was sporting a large Stetson hat and leaning back against the counter. You closely examine her slender but fit body, ranking very closely to Rainbow's. Her coat was a deep orange and with the mane to compliment it. You're gaze slowly moves down her body from chest to waist and further down... "Ar yah quite done oogling me partner?" Your eyes quickly refocus back to the whole group who have now turned to face you. They quickly break their ranks and circle around you. The purple unicorn steps forward and introduces herself first. "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle; I'm the librarian here and student of Princess Celestia herself!" Before you can speak, the second, white unicorn quickly interjects. "And my names Rarity Darling... My. What's a handsome new pony like you doing in this town? Once again, you open your mouth to speak but a quick flash of pink quickly pushes you to the ground. You realise it to be the pink pony, who just tumbled right on top of you. "OHMYGODYOURETHENEWPONYINTOWNTHISISSOOCOOLINEEDTOHOSTAWELCOMEPARTYFORYOUANDEVERYPONYWILLBETHEREANDYOUNEEDTOBETHEREOHANDIMPINKIEPIEBYTHEWAY!" You only barely manage to catch the last bit. if your hearing was sound, then she was called Pinkie pie. You start to shuffle uneasily under the weight of the pony on top of you. She was sitting right on top of your groin and you were desperate to get her off before anything unwanted appears on scene. "Pinkie could you kindly get off me please?" "OK, since you said please!" She promptly hops off your nether regions and takes place near the group of friends. You start to stir in your spot and smile blankly at the group. You expect another introduction but looking past the herd, the orange Earth pony stares at you, partly disgruntled and only reply quietly. "Ah'm Apple Jack, if you head over to Sweet Apple Acres, you'll probably catch me round there." "Thank you all, I'm the New pony in town. My name's Lightning Strike and I was wondering if you had seen a cyan pony with a rainbow mane around?" Pinkie loudly replies. "You mean Dashie?" "ummm... Yeah. I really need to find her-" "Hold it a second there, bub. Don't you get up to anything with Dashie!" "What?" Rarity politely steps in. "Yes darling... Rainbow Dash had already met somepony back in flight school and the last thing she needs right now is another follower, chatting her up." "Actually, girls... I’m-" "There's no place for you in the game of love right now." "No! I'm the pony she loved during flight school. We used to be together, before she left..." "Oh, Lightning, I'm so sorry" "That's fine Twilight... but I just met her earlier, and we kinda got up to something before i may have blurted out that I also had sex with other ponies." "WHAT?!? How could you say that to poor Dashie?" "Yeah, i know but-" "She's like the Element of Loyalty, She would stand by you no matter what and you go off mating with other ponies!" "Damnit I'm sorry OK? But I really need to tell her I'm sorry, I guess I just needed some stress relief and couldn’t get it." You drop your head in apology and depression. You feel a hoof against your shoulder and look up to see AppleJack, smiling kindly at you. You feel a strong sense of kindness form and quickly return the smile. "Here yah go sugarcube. Just give her this and say sorry, Rainbow May be stubborn but she’s quick to apologise." The group hand you a wrapped present and a bouquet of flowers. You quickly thank them and fly and quickly as you can to look for your Dashie. You decide the best place to apologise was at her huge house and make for there. ============================================================================ You open the front door where you are greeted with your previous... mess with Rainbow Dash. You can’t help but chuckle slightly at the sight but quickly return your attention to the rest of the room. You quietly creep inside and slowly climb up the huge spiralling staircase. "Hello? Skittles?" No response. You continue down her huge corridor and push a door which you think leads to her bedroom. You push it open slowly and head inside the pitch black room. You make your way in slowly before hearing somepony move in the shadow. Before you can react you feel a sharp stinging pain in the back of your head as a hoof collides with it. You collapse onto the ground falling unconscious instantly. Oww... You regain your senses and quickly examine your surroundings; surprisingly you're on a comfy king sized double bed. You try and reach for something but your hooves are bounded by a rope. You start to feel a sense of panic engulf you as you suddenly realise the situation you are in. "Hello Lightning..." "Dashie, please I want to say sorry" "It seems you forgot where your loyalties lie. And if you haven't heard... I'm the element of Loyalty. I guess I just have to teach you a lesson..." =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You start your new job with your boss and lover. =========================================================================== Rate Kindly! And always, Comments are always helpful. I love feedback. Apologies if anybody doesn’t get the story or if it feels a little shaky at the moment. It's gonna get there soon enough. Chapter 2: Somepony like youHUUUGE APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG ABSENCE IN POSTS I've been caught up in a sea of work and procrastination when it comes to writing. I hope I can get these chapters up at least once a week but apologies in advance if they don't. I'm not promising anything. Enjoy! =========================================================================== Chapter 2: Somepony like you =========================================================================== You quietly stir in your spent state of euphoria; having spent the entire previous evening passionately getting "reacquainted" with Rainbow Dash. You slowly pry your shut eyelids open and take a peek into the world. You find yourself lying where you stopped yesterday, on Dashie's massive cloud bed. Although the large size allowed for you both to have enough space, you still find her cuddled up beside you, snoring peacefully in her sleep. Her tangled rainbow hair had been ruffled both from her sleep and "workout" last night. You try and get up but quickly realise one of your hooves had been trapped under her body. You attempt to gently slide it out from under her but the motion causes her to reach out for you and pull you in. Even in a sleeping state, she still finds the strength to pull you tightly against her. You decide to struggle and reassume your position beside her. You turn to face your still sleeping marefriend and peck her lightly on the cheek. She shuffles slightly, giving you a better position to move about. Eventually, you remember you actually have a job to do and quickly set about to wake her up. "Hey... umm... Dashie? Wake up..." She slowly rolls over to one side and replies flatly. "Gnhghn... Can't it wait? I'm enjoying my beauty sleep..." "My boss would probably expect me at work soon..." "Nah, she’s cool with it" You fume slightly at your failure to get her off of you and out of bed. You try a different tactic this time. "I'm pretty sure the townsfolk need the weather today" "Meh, nopony's gonna miss the morning shower" You stress your tone more harshly and put on your 'I mean business' face. "Dashieeeeee" You hear a disappointing sigh as Rainbow Dash slowly crept out of bed. On this rare occasion, she decides to walk rather than use those powerful wings of hers. Instinctively, she drags you along behind her to the huge bathroom connected to the bedroom. "Damn Rainbow... Your bathroom's way bigger than the one back in our school days." "Yeah, I know it's awesome, but I preferred it when the space was smaller- that way we really had to be more... flexible ." You take notice as she particularly emphasises the last part. Inside your head you laugh about the arousing and in fact, erotic moments you've had in the shower. You can't stop your stupid wings from acting on instinct- and they quickly reveal their full glory to Rainbow Dash. "Wow lightning and I thought I was a horny pony." "Shut up. At least I restrain myself." "No, that was me remember?" Your mind quickly switches back to the memory of last night. It was less than 12 hours ago but you still feel the terror rush over your spine. You never knew just how dominant Dashie could be until that point and although that experience was humiliating and embarrassing, you still feel the slightest sense of excitement and enjoyment out of it. "Hehe..." You feel a sharp jolt push you into the spacious cubicle. Your face almost smashes against the rainbow assortment of mosaic tiles on the wall. You try not to think about how tile stick to cloud walls but instead enjoy the blissfully warm water, cascading over your sore body. You stretch out your wings, hungry to get in on that cleansing action. How the hell does she even afford these things??? Before long, you feel a dainty pair of hooves placed on your shoulder. You let out a low purr as they move slowly to the base of your aching wings and begin you teasingly massage them. That same rush of adrenaline you felt years ago comes back to you, hungry for more. "Well... since you were such a good colt last night, I guess you deserve a reward." "Gee, you’re sooo thoughtful Rainbow" You try to pull that sentence in the most sarcastic tone possible but you get a feather yanked out your wing for your effort. "OWW, I’m sorry ok" "Hmmf. That's better" You return back to the blissful massage being given to your now fully erect wings. You feel the gentle and soothing effect of her special pegasi shampoo, lathering your back. You shuffle over slightly to get into a comfortable position. In a short space of time, you feel the build-up of pleasure in your wings, the excitement and sheer ecstasy, unable to be contained anymore. You think Rainbow Dash sensed the peak and quickly rubs deeper into the base of your wings. You can’t take it any longer, crying out in a blaze of passion. You feel the pleasure rush over your whole body, stealing the breath away from you. You take a moment to recompose yourself, gasping for breath. Your wings hang limply as they do when you get a wingasm. You don’t try to lift them as you know it would be impossible to get them working for at least ten minutes. They barely touch the cold shower floor, still covered in suds and still very much wet. You get back on all fours and turn to face a very satisfied Rainbow Dash. You stare into the deep, burgundy red eyes and remember the same Pegasus you fell in love with ages ago. In a spontaneous act of passion you quickly step forward and lean in against her. You press your lips against hers, eager to repay her for the act of goodwill. You take the offensive, pressing your tongue into her mouth. You feel them brushing against her teeth, and very quickly find an opening. You both stand there, under the reuniting embrace of the shower, locked in a heat of passion. After what seems to be lifetime, she ends the kiss, pulling off but not before biting our tongue; just enough for you to notice. She turns around, leaning against the opposite side of the shower. She calls out to you in a sultry voice. "Ok, your turn." You stare blankly at first, still trying to comprehend her intentions. You could just leap onto her right now and do her on the spot. But you restrain yourself from doing so. Instead, you relax your fore hooves and gently place them on Rainbow Dash's back, just under her shoulders. You've done this enough times to know where she likes it and instantly know you will make short work of this task... ========================================================================== You both emerge out of the shower, still dripping wet and now very much cold. Neither of you bothered to take in any towels with you to the bathroom and you two are now forced to make a lengthy journey to fetch one. You hear a slight chatter of teeth as you walk and notice Rainbow Dash beside you, shivering but still able to put on a pathetic smile. When she spots your sympathetic face, she quickly moves beside you and slips under one of your wings. You stretch out your right wing to give space for Dashie and quickly wrap her tightly beside you. Her head pops out from the front and kisses you gently on the cheek. You feel your face instantly warm up even after her lips were no longer touching you. "Thanks Lightning." You feel her still drenched, soaking body, shuffling under your wing. The feeling of wet fur and feathers is slightly off putting but you also feel the warm glow of her body, giving out much of her body heat. You feel her wrap her hooves around your right leg, restricting your movements. You can imagine the sight of a little cyan blue Pegasus wrapped around the leg of a stallion, and gush at the thought. "Dashie... You're making it really hard for me to walk." "But you're soo warm!" You sigh deeply and continue making your way towards her chest of drawers. You quickly pull open the middle drawer and dig out two large, fluffy white towels. Inside your head, you are slightly surprised she has something that isn't multicoloured. You take one of the towels, wrapping it around yourself and pass the other one to Rainbow Dash. In no time at all, she emerges from under your wing and is wrapped from head to toe in the white cotton. Only a small slit in the towel allows you to spot Rainbow Dash's eyes with her mane protruding out. You dry your fur off with ease and watch amusingly as Rainbow Dash is still just wrapped inside hers like a robe. You begin to wonder how Rainbow Dash even lives alone, thinking if she still remembered any cooking lessons you gave her back in school. "Umm Dashie? Are you actually going to dry yourself anytime soon?" "Nah, I'm just enjoying the show in front of me. A handsome, young stallion that just emerged out of the shower and was just drying himself off, exposing his full glory in front of me." It only just hit you what she had been doing for the last three minutes. While you were thinking why she was just sitting there, you were giving her a show. You blush slightly at what she just said to you and quickly start to towel her off as well. She sits patiently as you fruitlessly try to dry her mane off. In the end, you eventually got it mostly dry and with the added bonus of it keeping its natural spunky look. She wraps her hooves around your shoulders and kisses you on the lips. Her warm hug traps you inside, not letting you move anywhere, momentarily. "You know, most of the time I just do a Rainbow Dash 'Air Dry' outside." "Yeah, but don't tell me you didn't enjoy that." "You're right, it was more fun." Your short conversation is quickly interrupted by your growling stomach. A deep grumble emanates from your belly, signifying your demand for food. "Somepony's hungry..." "Yeah, but if I remember, you can’t cook for shit." "I guess that means you're cooking today!" =================================================================== You quickly whip up some blueberry waffles drenched in a sticky assortment of sautéed berries. You're astounded at the variety of ingredients Rainbow Dash keeps at home for a pony who hardly cooks, and when she does; often ends up burning her cereal. Both of you mouth down your lavish meal and are now lazily ling back, enjoying the serenity of the moment. You sit opposite Rainbow Dash, facing her head on and meeting her gaze. Her eyes light up straight away, also bringing her ears up to attention. You give a barely noticeable smile and she replies with a huge grin plastered across her face. You always make me smile Skittles... Her expression changes to one of curiosity. She tilts her head and leans back in her seat. You prepare yourself for a question and answer session, slightly leaning forward in your chair. You stare blankly towards Rainbow Dash who seems to be now preparing herself to ask you. She tongue sticks out ever so slightly, licking the sides of her lips. She brushes her fur lightly and makes eye contact with you. "So... Umm, Lightning... What have you been doing this whole time?" The question takes you by surprise. You take a small breath and try to find a way to fit your life story into one conversation. You shuffle uncomfortably in your seat and lean your hooves on the table. They make an audible clop on the hardwood surface; you clear your throat and mumble in an exhausted, drawn out tone. "Yeeeaaah... Kind of a long story." A disapproving frown creeps up on her face. She leans back into her chair and crosses her hooves across her chest. You've clearly annoyed her and are now trying to find a way to make it up to her. She replies in a very flat tone. "The only ponies who say 'it's a long story' are just lazy asses who can’t tell a good story for shit anyway..." "Fine then! I'll tell you what I’ve been doing!" "Other ponies?" "Besides that!" She quickly bursts into a fit of laughter, nearly falling off her chair. You feel the blood rush to your head and quickly realise you're now standing up with your hooves slammed on the table. You quickly take your seat again and continue with your story. "Well... I guess after you left, I carried on for the next 2 years. I graduated with distinction and then got a place in the Cloudsdale Wingball team." "Of course you would wouldn't you..." "Can I continue?" You take her silence and beady stare as the signal to continue. "But I guess I hated all the attention and glamour. It just wasn't for me. You couldn't even take a step out your own home without being swarmed by those blood sucking parasitic news reporters! Anyway, I don't think those late night parties and binge drinking was exactly healthy for my health... I mean, have you seen the way the Wonderbolts throw a party. It's like super awesome an-" A blur of cyan and rainbow cross your vision "YOU PARTIED WITH THE WONDERBOLTS!?!??" "Yeah... You should have seen Soarin; he sure can't take his cider. He's usually out by round three!" You wipe the tear of laughter now forming on your eye. You look back at Rainbow and spot her eyes in shock. Her mouth is hanging agape almost allowing her to drool on the dining table. She snaps back into reality once she notices you staring at her. Her mood quickly turns to one of annoyance and envy. "Gee, I bet you really loved it with them huh?" You heart quickly sinks back again when you actually recall those nights out with the Wonderbolts. In truth you really didn't enjoy much of the time spent in their company. Every moment you spent around them constantly remind you of Rainbow Dash, one again, opening holes in your heart. "Actually Dashie... It wasn't as awesome as you thought it was. Because every second I was around them, I kept thinking about you." You feel a weight drop on in your chest and quickly feel small tears form from your eyes. You sigh deeply and lean your head on the table, drooping into a saddening state of nostalgia. Jeez, since when was I such an emotional, lovesick colt You suddenly feel a set of hooves wrap around your body. You feel a warm heartbeat against you side, beating to a soothing rhythm. You lift your head off the table and turn to face Rainbow Dash who was now pressing her face against yours. You instantly feel her warm cheeks against your cold face and can smell her zesty berry breath. You both stay in that position for a good long minute in silence. You pat her lightly on the shoulder, signalling her to let go. She lightly pecks you on the cheek and ruffles your mane slightly. "That's so sweet of you lightning" You put on a very embarrassing smile, desperately trying to hide your rosy cheeks. You clear your throat once again and proceed with your story. "Soo... As I was saying. I just dropped out of Wingball; Also because there wasn't really any competition. I thought I would give some other ponies a chance." "Keep on dreaming Lightning..." "So I told myself, I just want a normal job for a normal Pegasus." "You became a weather pony?" "Meh, it seemed easy enough. Remember what we learned in Flight school? The job was pips but the pay was crap. It kinda got a bit monotonous." "Whoa slow down there kiddo. Easy with the big words." "Oh right, I forgot how stupid you were!" You instantly feel a sharp whack slam across your face. The entire moment was a blur to you as you almost fall back off your chair. You quickly regain your senses of your surroundings and pull yourself back up. Ouch... You run a hoof across your face, feeling a strong burning sting spread across your cheek. You only imagine how red your face looks right now, more from the pain rather than the embarrassment. You give a weak submissive smile and return to your seat. "Come on Lightning, I thought you learned a long time ago not to fuck around with me?" "Did I? I didn't remember you being so... Possessive." "I'm not possessive-I just have an image to uphold." You ignore her blatant lies and return to your nostalgic tales. "...As I was saying... I took up a cloud clearing position back in Cloudsdale. You know, day in day out. 9 to 5 job. But the sad thing Dashie, is that- you never really get away from your past." "Really Lightning!? I got away from my past and it never came back to haunt me!" "Umm Dashie? I'm right here. 3 years on" You wave your hooves in front on Rainbow Dash in a futile attempt to get the cog clicking in her brain. She finally gets where you're getting at and proceeds to slam her head into the table. "So... Am I haunting you now?" You stand up and proceed to perform the worst ghost imitation a pony could ever do. You only barely stand taller than Rainbow and in response; she gives you a very unimpressed look. "You want me to leave you again?" With a nervous sweat down your neck you take your seat. "So yeah. I couldn't even work outdoors when fans were out to get me. I was considered useless in the field by my boss is I couldn't work for 5 minutes uninterrupted so they stuck me in a desk job." "How do you do desk job for weather pony?" "Dashie have you even been filling out those weather reports that are meant to be sent to cloudsdale?" "I thought those were suggestion sheets... I was wondering why they were sending me so many..." Her sudden look of confusion on Rainbow Dash's face causes you break out into laughter. You can only imagine the scene of Rainbow Dash chucking the load of papers into the shredder every week. "I'm surprised you weren't fired years ago Dashie..." DAWWWWW. She's giving the most innocent smile ever. You feel your heart melt as she stares at you with such an adorable face. You can't help it- You quickly give her a big hug before she lightly punches you on the shoulder. "That's when I decided to leave! I just packed my bags up and demanded a transfer. I asked for the most remote and smallest town where nopony could have possibly heard about me- so they sent me to Ponyville." "That's your amazing story... meh, could have been twenty percent cooler." JABAHWAHAHAH???!! I thought that was a pretty good story... You quickly look back on your previous three years of life before casually eyeing Rainbow Dash. You picture her in your spot, performing with the Wonderbolts. You can't help but feel happy for her if she did that but you also fear what she would become. Would she forget you? Will she forget all her friends in Ponyville? You tap Rainbow Dash on the side gently and speak to her in a quiet but concerned tone. "I don't know how much you still want to be a Wonderbolt Dashie; and I’m never going to stop you from doing what you want to do the most but just promise me one thing. When you're rich and famous, just never forget who you are. Don't ever lose sight of what you are. OK?" She gives you a real thoughtful stare before quickly falling into you in a limp heap. You feel her warm radiating heartbeat even through both your coats of fur. You pick her up and place her on your lap, gently nibbling on her ears as they try to evade your movements. She giggles in her fan girlish tone before trying to push your head away. "Lightning, stop it!" "Promise me that Dashie.... Pweease?" "Are you forgetting that I’m the element of loyalty here?" "Just do it... for me." "FINE. I pinkie pie promise" Dafuq that means... She proceeds to dancing around and waving her hooves in the air before stabbing herself in the eye. It still amazes you how the female mystique has yet to be deciphered by anypony. You look to the clock hanging in the kitchen and suddenly realised that you've nearly wasted the best part of the morning talking about old tales and memories. "Dashie, don't you have some work you need to do?" She quickly lifts herself into the air, ready to take on the rest of the world. She turns to you and stares at your with squinted eyes; like a beast eyeing its prey. "Don't you mean some work we need to do?" Before you can respond, she quickly pulls you off the ground and heads towards the window. By the feeling of air passing by your ears you deduce that you both are travelling at quite a speed. You start to get anxious when you realise the front door is getting further away and out of you sight. "DASHIE!!! The door is that way!" You barely manage to lift a hoof and point due to the g-force on your body. You decide not to resist and only accept your fate. "I know Lightning but the window is way faster. Plus, you always said a little morning exercise was good for your wings!" "YEAH BU-" You quickly feel her hooves let go of your lightweight body. You watch as you see her smug face in front of you, floating outside the window. You watch as her and her floating cloud home get smaller and further into the distance. The cold air rushing past your motionless wings remind you of your current situation. She just threw you out of her house. You turn around and watch as the ground slowly grow larger in your field of vision. In your state of shock, you forget all your essential flight training and work hopelessly to gain some lift. You think to yourself, what a way to die; Being thrown out of a window by your childhood friend and having her watch you demise.

Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job =========================================================================== Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job =========================================================================== You turn around and watch as the ground slowly grows larger in your field of vision. In your state of shock, you forget all your essential flight training and work hopelessly to gain some lift. You think to yourself, what a way to die; Being thrown out of a window by your childhood friend and having her watch you sad demise. "YOU BITCH RAINBOW DAS-" You feel a bone crunching smash against your chest as your body impacts a hard surface. You feel the blood rush to your head as you continue to accelerate, increasingly unable to move your body as a result of the g forces on your frail body. You feel your heart skip a beat and even a stinging pain in your lower chest. If you remembered correctly, you did hear a faint *crack* earlier. Yup. Definitely broke a rib or two It occurs to you that you had never collided with an object or the ground but in fact, something had crashed into you. You use all the energy in your body to counter the strong winds pushing your head down and tilt it slightly back. You watch as the forests and grasslands beneath you pass at great speeds. Either your eyeballs were messed up or you were traveling at supersonic speeds. You hear a tremendous *boom*, forcing your head back further into the object that had previously collided with you. You manage to take a peek into the sky behind you; the lack of super-sonic wind speeds allows you easily focus on the scenery behind you. A glorious spectacle of colours light and trail behind you, lighting up the bright sky. The entire spectrum of the rainbow emanates through the gentle air. You quickly think back to your "flight physics" lesson and remember being told that the requirements for a sonic rainboom meant that it was marginally impossible for anypony to pull it of. Sure enough, Rainbow Dash was quick to disprove their claim. You two would spends days and weeks seeing if Rainbow Dash could actually repeat her so called "miracle". A few sprains and bruises later, you had to comfort Rainbow Dash, who was beating herself up for not being able to do it. Something inside you was telling you that Rainbow Dash was more upset at not showing you rather than not being able to do it. You made a promise to her on that day that you did believe her and that you would just wait another time to see it. The sharp pain in your chest returns your nostalgic daydream back to Equestria. You let out a small laugh of appreciation knowing that you've finally seen a sonic rainboom. After what seems like an eternity of being crushed against a soft, furry pillow, you feel your airspeed start to drop. You continue to bury your head into the fur coated heap; wishing not to see what comes next. Before you know it, you're back on solid ground. You place a hoof on the grass just to double check your suspicions The chirping of the birds and little woodland creatures going about their daily business reinforces what you now know as true. "Hey Lightning; You can let go now" You look up at the sound of the voice and only stare in amazement as you spot Rainbow Dash, looking down smugly at you. You look down where your hooves had been clenching so tight for the last minute and realize you had been gripping Rainbow Dash in a very tight manner. "You wuss, get off" She speaks through tired breaths and between deep, sexy panting. "Oh right..." You hastily let go of the cyan mare and tumble onto the carpet-like grass. You look back up and watch the dark silhouette of a pony across your field of vision. You knew nopony could perform such an impossible feat; but you always knew if anypony would , it would be your Dashie. You lay a hoof across your chest and record your heartbeat. You can’t even count the beats of your racing heart and settle with the figure "too high". "You finally showed me didn't you Dashie?" "Zzzzz..." Before you can respond, the huge figure in front of you promptly collapses on top of your chest. Pinning you down onto the ground. You lift your head slowly and notice as Rainbow Dash's body lies motionless across you. Her head balances ever so delicately on your diaphragm rising and falling rhythmically with your lung expansion. You squirm underneath her weight as her tongue falls out of her mouth, lying on your fur. You can feel the stickiness of her sweaty fur, rubbing onto your body. Looking into her eyes, you realize she’s in a semi-conscious state of tiredness. She attempts to mumble something incomprehensible but instead ends up leaving a huge puddle of drool on you. You shuffle slightly beneath her, in a fruitless attempt to get into a comfortable position. You eventually give up and leaned against the tree trunk behind you. ====================================================================== You let 5 minutes pass without much event, albeit the occasional flutter of birds in the sky. You reluctantly push Rainbow Dash off your aching body to the side. You hope that you're able to move her in such a way as to not startle her. You carefully lift your hooves from under her tight grip and slowly wriggle your way from underneath her. Without so much as a mumble from her, you continue to lift her body and flip it over to allow her to wake up facing the sky. You move ever so quietly around her, hoping not to rouse her in her deep slumber. You can only wonder how a pony like herself could go to sleep at a time like this. Looking back at the deep blue sky, pausing for a brief moment. You do actually agree that today would be a nice day to nap under a tree. Sadly, in your moment of awe, you lose concentration. Your lapse in focus causes you to mess up. You trip over, landing face first onto her chest. She quickly reacts with... Lightning speed. You have no time to react, watching helplessly as the events unfold in front of you. She opens her eyes in a flash, promptly proceeding to react with natural reflexes. Unfortunately for your anatomy, one of those reflexes inevitably leading to her, kneeing you hard in the sensitive regions. *WHAP* BAAA-SSSSHHIIITT. LORD CELESTIA. HAVE YOU NO MERCY ON ME. You fall onto the soft ground, nursing your aching gentlecolts region. You try to hold back a tear as the burning pain spreads across your groin. "Shit, Lightning! You shouldn't scare me like that!" You look up and spot a startled Rainbow Dash, wondering what had just happened. Her wings are spread out, revealing her full wingspan. You only now realize just how much she had grown and matured since flight school. Although, you weren't exactly in the best situation to be admiring a mares wings. "JEEZ DASHIE. did you have to kick me so hard?!?" Although you can see some sympathy in her face, she is clearly enjoying watching you in pain. "Don't be such a foal Lightning. I'm sure you're still able to have kids someday..." You push the last thought out of your mind and return your attention to the former that was said. "Forget being a Stallion! This FUCKING hurts!" You pause abruptly in your tracks. You look back at Rainbow Dash, who was now advancing on your position. You look closer at her face and spot that noticeable, lustful look in her eyes. You back up quickly, only to be stopped by a tree. She quickly pushes you back against it, causing you to crumble where you stood. "AWWW! Poor Lightning. Let me fix that for you..." ======================================================================== Some time later... Long enough later ======================================================================== Both you and Rainbow are now in the sky; Working diligently at moving some clouds over Ponyville for the late morning showers. You turn back and watch as Rainbow Dash manouvres a cloud into position with ease. No rookie could manipulate the weather that easily. Then again, Rainbow Dash was no rookie. She spots your watchful gaze, and looking back in equal curiosity. You spot a small grin grow on her face and you swear she just winked at you. You quickly turn back and focus on moving these clouds, now ready to burst with rain. You knew that feeling. It takes a special pony to "release the load" that's been building up for so long. You feel a prodding on your back and quickly pull your mind out of the gutter and back to Equestria. You look around and stare at the clouds now ready to rain. The same prodding sensation hits you again and you quickly turn around, almost hitting Rainbow Dash who had been behind you in the process. "Quit daydreaming Lightning. Let's get this show on the road already!" "WHAT?!? Me? Lazing around? you've clearly never seen your own daily routine before." "Hey, watch it pal. I still got a 2 good legs to kick you with." You instinctively move to defend your precious organs but stop halfway after spotting Rainbow Dash's face. She signals you to move away before kicking the nearest cloud, setting off a chain reaction, quickly covering the town with a good downpour. In a few hours, the clouds would dissipate by themselves; And without any further weather scheduled for Ponyville, you call it a day. Lying on a cloud high above the skies, you take a moment to relax and nurture your worn out wings. You lie quietly on you back, enjoying the serenity of the scene. Given the warm day, you could just fall asleep on the spot. You yawn deeply, shutting your eyes for a brief second. When they do reopen, you find a very excited looking Rainbow Dash, perched just on to of you. Her hooves are digging into your chest, causing you to exhale slightly. You try and return to your forty winks but the sudden feeling of her entire wight on you quickly forces you back into the real world. "Is there something you need Dashie?" She leans her head closer to your neck, wrapping her hooves around you at the same moment. You feel your muscles clench slightly at the feeling but you quickly relax them, already very much used to this treatment. "Come on Lightning! It's like... Barely past one o'clock. Let's go do something cool!" Besides wanting to ask what could be considered cool, you can't be bothered to get off this soft, cushion of condensed water vapour. You let out an apathetic grunt, signalling your unwillingness to move. You feel her get up of your body. Opening a single eyelid, you carefully watch her next move; wary of her unpredictable intentions. In a flash, she suddenly grabs your hooves, pinning them to the cloud. For a pony with pretty fast reflexes, you're surprised you never had a second to react. Now, with both your hooves out of your use and Rainbow Dash, suggestively grinding against your body. you cry out in shock and plea. "What the hell Rainbow Dash!?!?" she seems undeterred by your comments, leaning in towards your face. Before long, you stop her advance with a deep kiss. Happy with your response, she leans in further, clearly enjoying the romantic moment. You can't imagine the last time you made out with anypony on a cloud; You let your thoughts drift away to the back of your mind while you savor the thrill of the moment. By now she has given up on holding you against your will. You break your hooves free from her now weak grasp, now placing them around her. You feel as her wings unfold, clearly turned on by the experience. By now, more than your wings were ready for action but you resisted the beast inside of you to just mount her now. Instead, you quickly break the kiss; Parting your mouth from hers before sitting up properly on the cloud. "AWWW... I was just starting to have some fun Lightning..." You lightly brush off your wings and fur, before pulling Rainbow Dash closer to you and kissing her lightly on the side of her snout. She giggles lightly before pushing you away from her. You take a peek over the edge of your cloud and nod satisfyingly at the fact nopony was around to see the lone cloud in the sky, erratically bobbing about in the sky. You look back at Rainbow Dash. She tilts her head in reply, hoping you would ask the first question. You honour her wishes and ask what she wants to do for the rest of the day. "I don't know! I don't think that far ahead but we could like... you know? Just chill in Ponyville." you try your best to look interested in her ideas, hoping that this wouldn't lead onto some grand adventure. you quickly return your attention to her as she shakes you frantically; Clearly excited to tell you something "I Know! I know! You can meet all my friends while we're in town!" "You mean AppleJack, Twillight, Rarity and what was her name again? Kinky Pie?" She facehoofs instantly, annoyed that you remembered one of her friends in such a manner. "PINKIE PIE." "Right... Right... I knew that." You lean over the edge of your cloud, hugging the soft, fluffy material. You take a look at Ponyville in the near distance and wonder just how exiting this place could be. Your thoughts are quickly interrupted by a growling noise, coming from your belly. Accompanying the grumbling was a deep throbbing pain from it. You're hungry and you wanted food now. "Hey, Dashie?" "That's my name!" You look at her, happily twiddling her hooves behind you, still excited and content with her intimate moment with you. You feel warm and happy when you see Rainbow Dash happy like that. Though you envy her carefree and easy life; you still love her active and spunky personality. "Could we get something to eat in town?" "Yeah! There's soooooo many places we could eat. We could go to Sugarcube Corner or the fancy restaurant-" "How about something less... grand?" "OH OK! there's this new cafe that just opened. I heard they have amazing food! Oh and there's this nice part outside to eat and-" "OK OK! we'll eat there then..." You and Rainbow Dash quickly hop off the cloud; as you do so, it rapidly poofs away into the atmosphere. You make a b-line for Ponyville with Rainbow Dash in hot pursuit. You both know who the best flier in Equestria is. Depending on how you rate "Best". Rainbow Dash certainly wins in a all out sprint, but when it comes to some real flying action, you're pretty sure you have the edge over her. You look back, hoping to see Rainbow Dash far behind you. You turn your head just enough to look back but still keeping your aerodynamic shape. You spot her, trailing behind. You feel your heart jump knowing that you, for once have the lead. Barely. You look back again, this time focusing on that grin on her face. That mischievous grin, plastered on her face. She wasn't even trying and she knew it. You wonder why she would lead you on like that, but you weren't having any of that. You slowed down just a pace, keeping a pony's distance in front of her. You once again turn to face Rainbow Dash. You can tell she's enjoying this feeling; the feeling one gets when they have somepony else in a false sense of security. She calls out to you between breaths. "Wow Lightning, you really want to beat me this time don't ya?" You keep a calm expression on your face, trying to maintain your oblivious look. "Hey Rainbow? New rule... Last pony there is paying for lunch." "I'm cool with that. Just be ready to get your bits out..." She chuckles deviously at your challenge. That mare is full of spunk and isn't scare of taking on the world. Without second thought, You quickly put all your remaining energy into flapping those wings, flying straight for Ponyville. You hear Rainbow Dash's breath behind you, slowly creeping closer. You push yourself to the limit, throwing everything you have left into your wings. You wonder, just why you do these things to yourself. It was no surprise that on average, pegasi live shorter lives than any other pony. You put those thoughts to the back of your mind and focus on your flight. In your short daydream, you've managed to steer off course by a few degrees. A rookie's mistake that is sure to cost you some valuable time. Within half a minute, you spot Ponyville town-center. You can see all the townsfolk minding their daily business, shopping, working and enjoying themselves. You brace yourself, not wanting to make a crash landing in the crowded street. The sight of the finish line is already starting to make your wings cramp up. You pull up slightly to slow yourself down and touch down gently in front of the row of shop houses. You look around you and see no rainbow maned pony in sight. You jump in glee and let out a weak cheer. Another beat over Rainbow Dash. Another rare occasion to log on the scoreboard. You feel ready to enjoy your win over a hot lunch... "Hey Lightning! I win. You're buying!" You turn around and look for the source of the voice. It was impossible. She couldn't have beaten you to the cafe. You got to the town first. You let out a disappointing sigh. "Screw you Rainbow! Can't I win for once?" "Well... you should've know where we were eating... You never learn, do you Lightning?" You sit sourly in your seat, pouting like foal. You and Rainbow soon order your food and patiently wait. You still feel sore about losing. It wasn't anything like you; You were never a sore loser, but maybe it was because you rarely lost... "Come on Lightning... Cheer up! It was just a race." You turn your head up and spot Rainbow Dash, sitting happily on her chair. You spot the beads of sweat on her fur. At a closer glance, you realize just how hot she looks after a workout. You look closely at her folded wings, tucked gently away. Your gaze moves lower down her sides, focusing on her- "Lightning. My face is up here." You quickly sit back straight. You've turned a bright red, Embarrassed that she just caught you staring at her. You quickly bury your face beneath your hooves, hoping none of the other patrons saw what had happened. "I know I'm a nice piece of eye candy Lightning, but I thought you were better than that." She smiles at you teasingly, flicking her tail gently, still waiting for her food to arrive. You keep silent, trying to avoid her devilish stare. Eventually, you're saved by your food. A pony quickly brings both Rainbow Dash's and your food. You spend the rest of your meal in near total silence, mostly because both of you were stuffing your faces with the many courses they had to offer. Once you've felt content with your meal, you return your attention back to you friend across the table. She's busy drinking the rest of her orange drink through the small straw. You watch as the water level of the sweet cordial gets lower and lower in the glass. Within seconds, you hear the satisfying sound of a straw sucking in an empty glass, now only filled with melting ice cubes. *SLUUUUUUUURPPP* "So.... we done then?" As Rainbow Dash returns you a polite nod, you pick up the costly bill. You stare at the pricing for each individual dish with suspicion and groan at the twenty percent service and government charge. You empty out some bits onto the table for the price of the meal and leave a decent tip for the waiter. Having moved to Ponyville, your salary has decreased quite a bit. In contrast, living expenses are very low in comparison to big cities like Canterlot and Cloudsdale. You quickly make off from the cafe, following Rainbow Dash on foot. you see her weaving past the various stalls across the market square and watch as she navigates between the bustling vendors and shoppers. you spot a large tree-house in the distance which you now know to be the town library; also home to Twilight Sparkle, one of Rainbow Dash's many new friends. Rainbow Dash turns her head back towards you before giving a sly wink. You take a deep cautious breath before following her to the front door. You pause for a second, in front of the tall structure. Remembering everything you've been told so far by Rainbow Dash about her friends, hoping that you haven't forgotten any critical details. You lift the door knocker and tap it against the hardwood door lightly. You hear a commotion inside between 2 hushed voices before the room falls silent. A distant reply from inside attracts your attention. You stare blankly at the door, thinking of a good conversation starter. "ummm... Just a minute!" You turn back to Rainbow Dash who shrugs at you with a blank expression. You hear the door creak open and turn to face the pony at the door. Your attention quickly diverts to the short baby dragon looking up at you from the crack. You smile genuinely at him before he opens the door for you and Rainbow Dash. " *sigh* It's for you Twillight..." You step in cautiously, passing by the purple dragon who'd greeted you. Upon noticing Rainbow Dash, he displayed a more genuine greeting before walking out, shutting the door behind you. You look up and spot the thousands of books, carefully stacked and arranged in some storage order. You notice the entire room was lined with these towering bookshelves, explaining the huge facade outside. Somehow, just being in the presence of these stores of information just made you feel smarter, even if you never had the thing for reading. Novels never really caught your attention. "Uhhh... I'm not exactly a fan of reading Dashie." "Hey! Don't badmouth the books! You should start reading; It's sooooo awsome!" Before you manage to start a line of inquiry about what Rainbow Dash was talking about, you spot a purple unicorn emerging from a side-room. Your short walk-in with her when you first arrived did allow you to learn she was the in house librarian and also a student. You quickly notice a dark pink, six point star for her cutie mark. Suggesting her interest in the stars and astronomy. You look back up to say hello but quickly find her blushing in embarrassment. You quickly realize that both her and Rainbow Dash were watching your gaze. Needless to say, neither of them were impressed. You quickly find Rainbow Dash trying to wrap her hooves around you, aiming to choke you into regretting your actions while Twilight just turned sheepishly before commenting. "Mr Lightning, do you always seem to introduce yourself by ogling mares flanks?" You stand there motionless. Mouth agape. You would be lying if you said no and a quick turn to Rainbow Dash quickly reminded you of how you two met in the first place. "Well... the tactic seems to work..." Smart move idiot. Why don't you let Rainbow do the talking instead? You quickly turn to Rainbow Dash, signalling her to start the conversation. She picks up your request and promptly lands. Taking a seat between you and Twilight. "We were just here because we wanted to hang out Twi. Lightning never actually properly introduced himself to everypony." "Right! I see." She quickly turns to face you. "So Lightning? You schooled in the top flight school in all of Equestria?" "umm... yeah. Graduated top in my class:" "And Rainbow Dash never told us anything about that!" Rainbow Dash quickly steps in, hoping to continue the story. "Well... I didn't think it was worth mentioning ya know? I mean we all know I'm the best flyer in all of Equestria. I dropped so Lightning could get some recognition." You two both stare doubtfully at the pegasus. She sits proudly and clearly full of herself. You hear a faint knocking of a door behind you; Clearly, somepony was expecting more guests and you were going to meet them. Twillight quickly scuttled across the room, using her unicorn magic to unlock the door. "OOH! I think it's the rest of the group! We are going to have the best afternoon; don't you think Lightning?" You resign your fate to an afternoon hanging out with Rainbow Dash and her friends. Somepony did once tell you that one day, you would be hanging out with all the mares. Somehow that didn't seem as appealing anymore... "Yeah... It's going to be... smashing." =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You properly introduce yourself to the lovely mane 6 =========================================================================== Author's Note BLARG!!!! Scary huh? of course not... This was finished a LONG time ago but i just did not want to publish it and kept putting it off. Anyway, I hate to see others desperate for a new chapter; so enjoy. In reference to the end of season 3. I fit into the category that watched the entire last episode, stared at the screen during the credits and called BULLSHIT. It wasn't much the plot or story I was really pissed about but the execution of the episode. I have faith in the story writers and the future for MLP:FiM episodes but the last episode just felt very rushed and incomplete. Such a major event happened in less than a half episode, clearly showing some rushing element to push the story or interference from the senior management. I hope they get their act together for season 4, and make up for the poor season 3 finale. In general, I would consider season 3 to be the "weakest" of the three; Spike seems to be a total idiot and a jerk in addition to having very little plot progression until the last episode. What do you all think? opinions? highlights? facts? feel free to comment and share ^_^ Chapter 4: Lucky PonySpecial stuff at bottom. Please read the author's notes separately and only after you read the chapter. Some (kinda) major update i guess. =========================================================================== Chapter 4: Lucky Pony =========================================================================== You watch as Twilight's unicorn magic opens the front door without effort. You never really understood how unicorn magic worked. Besides the basic things you learned in school, you knew shit about how their powers came to be and what it could do. As far as you were concerned, they could do anything with those horns and over the years, many ponies had utilized their magic for everything possible. Before you, the heavy oak doors part to the side, revealing the small crowd of ponies outside. Slowly, one by one they fill into the open and spacious reception. They take various positions in the room and chat among themselves before gathering around the chairs where you and Rainbow Dash are seated. You suddenly hear the harrowing silence echo in the huge hollow tree-house. You scan the very unique faces of everypony in the room before coming a conclusion in your mind. THIS WHOLE TOWN IS JUST FULL OF BLOODY HOT MARES AND IT ISN'T EVEN ON THE MAP?!?!? You feel a trickle of sweat drip across your face as you put on your worst poker face. You're quickly saved by the quick introduction of Twilight, who has returned from shutting the door. She quickly sits down before starting a conversation. You pay no attention to what Twilight was addressing to the group as your gaze quickly moves past the small band of ponies. Behind the orange pony you remember to be Applejack, you spot a bubblegum pink mane. You focus your attention more; noticing the light yellow fur and even the butterflies on her cutie mark. You feel a neuron activate in your brain, quickly filling your mind with memories over the last 4 years. It was impossible to forget a pony like her and you knew it. You quickly jump out of your seat and call out to the hidden pony. "FLUTTERHSHY!" Her gaze quickly meets yours. You notice her one uncovered eye, peeking out from behind her pink mane. You spot her jaw drop; having realized who was addressing her. She quickly pushes past the group of ponies before embracing you in a terribly weak but sincere hug. "Lightning! Oh I didn't know you were in Ponyville now. I thought you'd still be living in Cloudsdale or Canterlot." You slowly release yourself from your reuniting hug. You step back and return to your seat before taking a sidewards glance at Rainbow Dash. Although somewhat surprised at what she witnessed, she doesn't do anything except smile casually at the two of you. You turn back towards Fluttershy and jokingly reply. "Heheh. Well, you know. I left for... ummm personal reasons." You chuckle lightly before being interrupted by a very confused pony. "Well hold on a darn second! You and Shy knew each other too?" You pause for a moment, planning your explanation. You shuffle in your seat and ready yourself for a story session. "Well... Yeah. Back in the academy, Fluttershy and I were great friends, even if we didn't exactly get of on the right hoof." You look towards Fluttershy who only responds by blushing and hiding behind her long mane. Once again, you're interrupted by Applejack. By now she was on the edge of her seat, hoping to get her head around your story. "But... You and Fluttershy were never... umm, you know" She starts gesticulating wildly in the space in front of her. "WHAT!? NONONONO... we were just good friends." you roll your eyes, hoping nopony gets any ideas. "Friends with benefits?" you quickly turn your head towards the inquisitive pressing voice. your attention quickly turns to a wide eyed Rarity. She seems to be leaning right on the edge of her couch, gripping her seat cushion tightly underneath her. You look deeply into her rapidly blinking eyes and closely watch her "dying to know" facial expression. a small voice in the back of your head just wants to know if those eyelashes are actually genuine or fake. You stifle a laugh under your breath and quickly return back to her question with exasperation. "No, Rarity. I did not have any sexual relationships with that mare, Miss Fluttershy." You try your best to imitate a bland and direct voice but instead end up doing a horrible accent. Even so, Twilight seems to be the only pony to get the reference, chuckling happily in her seat; this earns her a few blank expressions as well as a round of awkward stares. Rarity quickly interjects once more, somehow hoping to get a different response this time round. "really sure?" By now she you could hear the fabric on the cushions giving way to the stress, stretching. Almost tearing the seams. You give her a clear unimpressed look before replying blankly, "Miss Rarity, your persistence really knows no bounds." She replies by leaning back into her seat, flicking her mane back with a hoof. You hear muffled *humph* before she stares back at you. "such a charmer; this one. I only wonder how you keep him on leash Rainbow Dash." "Oh, I have my ways Rarity. He's not as tough as he looks." Rainbow Dash gives you a sly look, causing you to instinctively feel your chaffed neck. Last time you checked, any visual mark left by that collar had already worn away. You wonder how you actually got yourself into that situation. Just thinking about it starts to give you tingles all over; making you want quickly change the subject. Luckily, this came in the form of a pink, bubbly pony jumping out of her seat, screaming to nopony in particular. "OHMYGOSHWENEEDTOTHROWYOUAWELCOMEPARTY!!!" Applejack seems to agree, adding only after pulling Pinkie Pie back onto the couch and clamping her mouth shut. "We can host the party down by the lake. You won't mind that now would you sugar-cube?" You nod politely in agreement before looking at the large clock hanging from Twilight's wall. It's only been 15 minutes... greeeaat The conversation drifts between topics often to subjects completely uninvolved with you. For the most part, you lay back and just listen to chatter, only speaking up when asked your opinion or asked about your past. It seems, Rainbow Dash had completely kept a good 3 years hidden from her friends, now curious to know past. =================================================================================== Before long, the conversation quickly swiftly switches to your personal life, delving deeper into your relationship with Rainbow Dash. You knew it would come to this. 5 mares gossiping over somepony's love life. You awkwardly bury you head under a pillow, not knowing what to do in this situation. "So Rainbow Dash... Does Lightning have an impressive-" Rarity quickly gives a sly eyebrow raise, signalling her message. Rainbow Dash casually replies, not ashamed of saying anything in front of you. "meh, I don't think it's that impressive" Awww Dashie, You just love to downplay it don't ya? Rarity, again squints her eyes, unsatisfied with the answer. "Rainbow Dash, I need hard facts here, not your biased opinions" Rainbow Dash looks at you curiously before smiling a mischievous look. She ponders a thought for a second before floating over to Rarity and pulling her little group together. This leaves just you, opposite the group of mares. you shuffle uncomfortably in your seat, and unknowingly cross your legs together. You feel the beads of sweat slowly trickle down the side of your head, hanging off the edge of your fur. You don't remember being this tense since you were sent to see your boss over a mistake during a daily weather change; It was only that one incident, you caused it to hail. The size of golf ball sized ice chunks dropped across half a neighborhood instead of rain, damaging some street equipment but luckily hurting nopony. You got a hell of a shouting at but only a day on probation. You watch closely as Rainbow Dash puts her mouth closer to all their ears, still eying you up and down. Similarly, all the mares seem to be staring at you wide eyed, giving you no respite from the social pressure. Very suddenly, Rainbow Dash seems to whisper something incomprehensible to the group, pausing slightly and using hoof gesture to illustrate her point. Her explanation gets a variety of reactions; Besides the initial shock, the group look at you in a playful manner. Twilight and Fluttershy just blush and avoid eye contact with you, clearly embarrassed and not at all used to talking about these things. On the other hand Rainbow Dash and Applejack share a guilty giggle; Applejack momentarily stares at you with an enticed look before continuing her laugh to Rainbow Dash. "Darling, you are probably the luckiest mare in all of Equestria, Rainbow Dash!" You focus you gaze towards Rarity, sniggering while covering her mouth with a hoof. "You think so Rarity?" Rainbow Dash replies. Rainbow Dash gives you a weak nudge on the shoulders, you respond by tipping over onto your other side, lying your whole body across the three pony sofa. You grab a pillow from the back of the couch and bury your head under. This muffles out most of their conversation yet, those incessant giggles still manage to come through the thick layers of fabric and feathers. You let out a desperate moan, hoping some greater being hears you out there, maybe having mercy and taking you away from this horrible situation. Please... Just kill me... ================================================================================ After what you interpret to be a long hour, you wake up abruptly, enjoying the most vivid dream ever. You feel a nice, calming motion brushing against your body. Looking up, you find yourself being tickled across your belly. You instantly tense up and flail your hooves about; causing you you to fall off your makeshift bed. You pick yourself off the cold floor and hover slowly in the air. You notice the group of multicoloured ponies making their way out of the tree-house library. Looking back towards you seat, you find Rainbow Dash looking half excited but somewhat annoyed you woke up from your slumber. She sits up, waiting for you to make a move; hopefully, to leave. One by one, the group of mares exit the building with Pinkie Pie shouting out the time and venue for your "welcome" party. "IT STARTS AT 7:00!!! IT'S BY THE LAAKEE!!!!" You wave a hoof, acknowledging both her commands and waving a goodbye. "DON'T FORGET!!! DASHIE WILL MAKE SURE YOU WONT. RIGHT DASH?!?!?" "See you later Pinkie" replies the exhausted looking Rainbow Dash. You make your way towards the exit, thanking Twilight for her hospitality on the way out. She wishes you a happy time in Ponyville as you let Rainbow Dash leave first. You follow closely behind, enjoying a leisurely flight back towards her sky home. You take notice at why shes flying very low; making you both fly at slower speeds and with more effort. "Dashie, we both know it's more efficient to fly at higher altitudes. It's better for your stability and speed." "yeah, bet where's the fun in that?" she gives you a cheeky smile before continuing. "AND, You should also remember, the thinner air isn't as good for your lungs. MEANING a less comfortable flight, Lightning." You blush discreetly having forgotten some crucial basic flight knowledge but also because Rainbow Dash out of all ponies had pointed it out to you. You decide to keep silent for the rest of the journey; instead, enjoying the view like Rainbow Dash had suggested. ============================================================================== You continue to tour around Rainbow Dash's lavish mansion. Noting in awe as you discover and explore more rooms in her decadent abode. Due to the nature of cloud homes, it is easy to manipulate structures and add rooms to existing buildings. These weightless properties of clouds also technically mean pegasi have the most stable and useful building material; being able to form any shape or block without concern for structural weaknesses. This also means pegasi could have stood to have the most creative architecture in the whole Equestria, yet it's a real shame pegasi never were particularly creative. You notice her workout rooms are given extra space and decoration, taking a good two thirds of her recreational area. You also spot her exclusive spa area, fully kitted out with a sauna, hot tub and an ice cold plunge pool. "Jeez Rainbow, you really live a humble lifestyle." "Hey, I worked my ass off for my bits and I don't see why it should go to waste." You feel tempted to dive into the hot tub this instant but your brain wisely tells you to save it for later. Maybe you could enjoy a midnight dip? As you head round towards Rainbow Dash's kitchen, you are astounded at how basic and small her kitchen is, Relative to the rest of her house... You open up the various nooks and crannies, exploring her mostly empty cupboards and drawers. In particular you open a corner shelf and spot a stack of tall tins, nicely stacked up. You pick one up, only to be quickly swarmed by Rainbow Dash. She tries desperately to grab the tin off you. You easily keep her back with one hoof while turning the can with the other to read the label. "New Formula Protein Powder. Just add milk to and enjoy a frothy milkshake before or after exercise. Guaranteed to increase muscle mass by 15%!" "You really take this Rainbow Dash?" She looks at you sourly, pouting and grabbing the half empty tin off of you. She sets in on the table and crosses her hooves across her chest. "Hmph. I swear it just makes me fat..." " You using full fat milk Dashie?" Before she replies, she ponder the thought in her mind for a moment before coming to an obvious conclusion. "DAMNIT! stupid salespony! Just add milk he said. How was I supposed to know there are different types of milk?!?" Unable to hold back a fit of giggles you support yourself on the counter, only to have yourself being punched half playfully by Rainbow Dash. She looks at you deviously before showing the can back into your hooves. "Well... You have to drink all those protein shakes now. I'm not letting those go to waste and I need to see for myself if that stuff really works." You flex your well built muscles, showing them off to a gazing Rainbow Dash. You feel a bit like and ass doing that but you didn't really feel like showing off. Your muscles aren't a particularly distinctive feature of yourself. Though, you don't really feel like you need any more. You look back at her, sighing disapprovingly before replacing the tin onto its stack. "So... Anything else we can do before 7 Skittles?" "Since you asked soo nicely, maybe we could umm... work out" "How about, no?" "Okay... Watch a movie or something?" "meh..." "Pre-party romp?" "Seriously Dashie?" "What?" "Have you heard of a thing called recovery time?" "Pfff... Out of the question then...Pussy." "Oh you have something to say to me?" You experience some pent up emotions boiling inside of you. You know Rainbow Dash is trying to rile you up but you still give into the tease; being such a sucker for her. You quickly grab one of her hooves, pinning it down onto the coffee table between the two of you. You look up into her surprised face. It quickly melts into an smug smile. You attempt to grab her free hoof, swinging yourself across the table. She dodges, causing you to topple onto the low surface. She quickly frees her trapped appendage, hopping onto the table before pinning your legs. Using gravity and weight to her advantage she presses onto you, holding both your hooves against the hardwood table. You just challenged her and now she want to fight. Shes not planning on losing. And neither were you. You swivel yourself to the side, causing her to roll onto the cloud floor. You tumble down after her, hoping to regain the upper hoof. She lands front side down, using her wings to form a shield from you. You land on her lower half; your face smothered in her tail. She flicks it violently, hoping to whip your face. You feels a sting across your cheek, distracting you for a brief moment. In the short time, she quickly gets up, charging back at you in a heated rage. You both fall over gain in a tangled mess, trying to gain the upper hand over each other. In sequential volleys you both pin each other down, only to be countered and flipping positions. The tangled mess of fur, manes and limbs resemble a messed up game of twister, fueled by rivalry but also affection. You start to sense a faint aroma in the air, almost like a distinct musk. You knew where it was coming from, and it was damn sexy. Finally, you find a break in her concentration, using the moment to roll over once again, back into your favour. You decide now was not the time to play fair, mimicking the same tactics she used against you. You sprawl your hind legs across hers, holding them down, unable to break free. Using your body weight you ensure she could not run. This time you make sure to hold both her fore hooves, cutting off any chance of escape. You hold it there a brief moment, recollecting your breath and savoring your victory. You look down onto your defeated foe, panting short, exhausted breaths. You feel a bead of sweat trickle off your head, landing on her chest. She stares at you indecently, showing clear annoyance at her defeat. She struggles slightly, to no avail. You smile at her victoriously, just to emphasize who the top pony really is. "Don't you say a word Lightning!" You chuckle sinisterly, deciding what reward you wish to claim. You lean closer to her neck, breathing down onto her sweaty fur. You feel her shudder underneath you; reacting to your warm breath. "Lightning... Stop it! You know that fee- AHHHH" She lets out an exasperated moan; you traced your tongue gently on her neck, getting payback for all previous merciless attacks. "Your looking real stunning this evening Rainbow Dash." noting her sprawled wings on the floor. "Looks like you're also edging for some action too Lightning." You turn your head to the side, noticing your stiff wings. You turn back to Rainbow Dash, once again sporting that devious look on her face. You release her gently, standing back up and allowing her to get up on her own accord. "Round one to me Dashie." You look towards the clock, reading the time to be barely 6. A good hour before you had to be at your party. You cant help but enjoying a little victory dance; right now, you probably look like the most embarrassing pony in Equestria. Luckily, the only pony who has ever and will ever see you in such as state is right in front of you. You know when somepony must be a good friend when you can act entirely normal around them. right? "I hatelosing..." You reply only with a stuck out tongue, still enjoying a rare moment of victory. But by now your body was quite tired and very sticky. You're feeling very dirty, and not just from rolling all over the floor. Rainbow Dash seems to notice your want for a shower and whispers into your ear. "we could take a dip in my hot tub, I saw how you were dying to get into it. Come on... You nod as a sign of approval before being tugged along back into the room full of relaxing goodies. You gladly follow, anticipating not only the warm bubbly water but also enjoying it with your companion. You fell like you reeaally needed a nice dip, a you were feeling rather stiff. ==================================================================================== You enter the large recreational room, adorned with sports and recreational equipment. You quickly notice the setting sun, casting a strong orange glow into your eyes. You look towards the pane-less, panoramic windows. The deep orange sun gently dropping over the horizon, making way for the moonlight to cover the night sky. You walk over to the hot tub, staring over the edge, glancing at the water. You look closely at the crystal clear reflection in the water. The only distortion comes from the deep orange glow to the water and yourself. You peek closer to the waters surface, leaning in closer. A stray drop of sweat drops of your chin, shattering the clear image on the waters surface. You gaze into the rippling water, fixated on the disturbance in the water. *nudge* You feel a force prod you from behind. You lose balance, falling into the water. Touching the water takes you be surprise. The shock of the cold causes your heartbeat to jump tremendously. You hit your head against the bottom of the tub, causing a loud *thud* . You scramble any responsive limb in an attempt to get to the surface. You push against the bottom of the hot tub; sending you rocketing back to the top. Feeling chocked for air, you gasp wildly for breath as you met the waters surface. LORD CELESTIA DAT WAS SOME SCARY SHIT You grapple onto the edge of the small tub, gasping for breath. You quickly notice Rainbow Dash lowering herself slowly into the seat beside you, cringing as she enters the freezing water. "You know, you are supposed to heat the water up..." "I've only used this stupid thing once, There's no point wasting energy heating it up." "You own a jacuzzi and you don't intend on using it" A shocked look spreads across your face. "I'm not much of a water pony, plus it's no fun to use alon-" You pull her close to you, wrapping a hoof around her waist. With your free one, you flick on all the switches on the side, turning the dials to medium. Immediately you feel a wave of bubbles rising to the surface accompanied with a steady blast of water jets on the side. A bright illuminant light in the center flickers to life, providing light and warmth to the water. "Better Dashie?" You feel her grip tightly to your body, sharing between you toasty body heat. You feel her loosen up, melting into your embrace. You support her closely as she drifts into a surreal sense of relaxation. You run a hoof through her wet mane, pushing it behind her head like one huge, multicoloured tentacle. In the distance, the sun has dropped almost completely, leaving the entire room in a state of twilight. The only clear light emanates from the fuzzy glow from the bottom of the hot tub. "Hey Rainbow Dash?" She stirs lightly against you, reluctant to answer. "Yeah?" "Remember when we first... you know. Like, did it?" "mmhh hmm..." You pause for a moment before continuing. By now Rainbow Dash has sat up, still leaning on you but more focused on the topic . "Why did we want to do it soo badly then?" She rolls her eyes inquisitively, looking for an answer, hoping it to be floating in mid-air. She pulls herself closer to you, wrapping a leg around your body. "hmm... We were young and curious?" "What? you wanted it in you that badly?" She smirks at you, making a point. "Don't tell me you weren't fantasizing about me before that Lightning..." She whispers quietly into your ear, talking in that gentle but enticing tone. True, she wasn't wrong. You were young. And hormonal. But damn, it wasn't like you were the only one. You were pretty sure she had turned down at least a dozen other colts back then. And that hot ass wasn't helping to keep colts away either. "Geez, I still had never felt so much more awkward in my life... ever" "Well, we did kinda make a bit of a mess in your room." "a bit? Rainbow Dash, I feel sorry for the pony who is now using those same sheets. They will forever be untouchably, violated." "But was it worth it?" "Dashie..." You stare back at her, smiling joyfully. "Silly question" You ruffle her mane gently, still tufted and slick from the water. She exhales deeply, enjoying the now warm, bubbly water. You continue, taking the opportunity to have a go at winding her up. "Anyway, I wasn't the one who had to take the walk of shame..." You close your eyes, leaning back against the edge of the tub. You take a second to let the thoughts sink in into Rainbow Dash's mind; Refilling her head with long gone memories. You hear an imaginary click in her head and feel her shift in the water. "OK. That was not cool." "and then the look on your face, sneaking down the hallway. Oh Celestia that was priceless." "Ha Ha Ha... that's funny Lightning. Keep this up and you get to sleep on the floor tonight." "Awww... you're too nice to do that to anypony, Dash." "I've done worse! You should know that by now." "Yeah, but always out of love and not to really hurt anypony." You snigger loudly, covering your mouth. Rainbow Dash looks at you in annoyance and surprise. "Maybe you like to torture ponies Dashie, but you would never leave a pony on your front steps, knowing they have nowhere else to go." She sighs deeply, sinking slowly into the water. You watch as she slowly submerges below the surface. You swear you could see a blush creeping onto her face. AWWWW... still trying to hide your emotions Dashie? You laugh out loud again, knowing nopony is around to hear you. Almost happy you managed to play around with Rainbow Dash you once again sink back into your seat, enjoying the hot, steamy wate- "Ooh..." You feel a soft pair of hooves, push against you lower body, working their way up along your legs. You stifle a gag, surprised at her sudden want to please you. You shuffle in your seat, leaning back to get into a comfortable position. Slowly, you feel her hooves draw gentle patterns on your legs, teasing you into a state of arousal. You fall into a deep sense of euphoria, letting your body fall into her care. You close your eyes slowly, mouth open, taking deep panting breaths. You feel ready to take her on, aching for some relief. You lean further back, gripping the edges of the hot tub with your hooves . You gasp at the sudden change in touch, you feel a tongue like structure, slowly making it's way to you sweet spot. I hate you so much Rainbow Dash... Your carnal desire knows no end Suddenly, you feel a splash of water against your face. You get some water in your nose, causing you to choke and splutter. You sit back up, still gasping for breath. You look to the seat opposite you, seeing a cyan blue mare climbing out of the jacuzzi. She pulls herself out gracefully, using minimal effort to climb out of the water. She turns back towards you, smiling a devilish smile. "Oh! Look at the time; We better get going to Pinkie's Party." She continues on walking, taking not another look back at you. Just to rub salt into your wound, you swear she was wagging her ass behind her. You feel a wave of emotions run amok; Annoyance, lust and embarrassment. You were left now, about to have the best blowjob ever imagined, and then just have it stopped in the blink of an eye. Worst of all, you were left with the biggest boner of all time. You pull yourself out of the hot tub in an undignified manner, scrambling up onto your hooves. You follow behind Rainbow Dash, taking an awkward shuffle in your steps. It only occurs to you that that was her intention all along. You knew that Pinkie's party wasn't that far away, and NO WAY were you going to fly there in your current state. you carry your terribly embarrassed self towards the changing room, cursing under your breath, You're a complete bitch Rainbow Dash, you know that? ========================================================================== Next Chapter: Welcome Party!! ========================================================================== Author's Note Hey everypony! Besides the latest updates. I have been furiously writing a chapter for a new story I had in my mind; a semi-serious/meaningful plot involving you (second person again. I like writing second person) a re-assigned federal bureau agent to a new growing city of Ponyville. The universe it kind of set in a human universe, however with MLP characters and setting. At the moment, I have no idea whether it should be humanized (which I can picture better) or anthro (which i find difficult to imagine ponies doing human stuff). Because of this, I have stuck to using an anonymous character name. This is the first 1000 or so words as a taster into the story (with very little relevance to ANYTHING pony like whatsoever). Any opinions? Should I write it ( i will still continue updating and focusing on Reunited) or is there little interest for this storyline? *Background info: You're a Federal Bureau agent. About to move to a still growing city of Ponyville. Rapid unchecked development have led to a epidemic of uncontrolled city planning, corrupt officials, rising crime rates and continued decline in quality of local police service.* Also note, there will be none of the Mane 6 or any other pony character in the teaser. Nor will there be any in the first chapter. Though after the prologue and intro is done with, The story will be very Mane 6 centric. Maybe some romance, haven't decided... Please comment. Even if it's a "yes, do it" or "nope.avi". (either way, I would still probably write it teehee) ignore any grammatical or spelling mistakes. This is literally the first draft. I barely read it twice enjoy! ========================================= "Shot's fired! Shot's fired on Charlton Avenue. Agent in urgent need of assistance!" You feel a deafening ring in you right ear as a bullet whizzes by your head. You quickly scramble behind a brick wall, confident it will protect you against the volley of lead. "Roger unit 5. All available units in the vicinity, shots fired on Charlton Avenue. Be advised, federal agents in attendance." Federal agents in attendance? what difference does that make. THE AGENT CALLED FOR THE FUCKING HELP! You draw your standard issue Glock pistol; ready to return fire. You look across to your right, at the opposite side of the street. A man, similar to you also takes cover behind a shop wall. He returns fire, made possible by the shooter focusing on you. A salvo of shots suppresses your attacker, giving you opportunity to advance. You quickly slide out of cover, attempting to make good use of your partner's covering fire. However, you fail miserably, miscalculating the timings; making it only 5 meters out before realizing your partner had already emptied his clip. another hail of bullets in your direction causes you to lunge for cover behind a short blue mailbox. You hear and feel the pings as bullet after bullet sink into the metal alloy of the mailbox. You thank god that he was probably using a small caliber bullet, protecting you from being peppered. You lean out of cover, firing off 5 aimed shots. You look to your side, only to see nobody in the vicinity. You scream to your partner, probably to your rear. "LIAM YOU FUCKER! MOVE UP" He slips out from behind the safety of the coffee shop wall, advancing under you suppressing fire. He takes position behind a parked car, looking for a suitable firing position. You let off another 5 shots, hoping to give him time to get a clear shot of the shooter. You now have only what you know to be only three rounds left in your clip. "Dispatch. Where's my backup!?!" "Assistance on route Unit 5. ETA 2 minutes." You sigh frustratedly. There was never any backup when you needed it. Looking back towards the shooter, you get a better view of his position. Your suspect has barricaded himself inside a jewelers; hiding behind the glass cases and shooting from inside the premises. The afternoon sun glaring into his eyes gives you no clear view into the store; but only a black-grey silhouette. You discharge the remains of your clip into the dark abyss, reload abruptly and advance. You decide to make a straight dash towards the jeweler's shop rather than the textbook 'Z' patterned maneuver . You quickly make it to a large, tinted panoramic window display. Inside you hear no movement, leaving only the faint crack of glass shards falling. You wait for your partner to catch up, holding your position bravely. In the distance you hear the faint noise of blaring police sirens. backup. bout' fucking time they showed up! You wait a second no longer, rushing into the premises with partner in tow. A scan around the front shows no signs of hostages, victims or the shooter. You hear an audible moan across from the counter. You mantle over the breaking display while your partner clears the surrounding room. Looking down towards the floor you see a masked robber, sprawled on the ground. His weapon still lies in his motionless hand, although noticeably out of ammunition. "Dispatch. Suspect down. I need an ambulance at the jeweler's on Charlton avenue. 2 gunshot wounds to the suspect's upper chest. I repeat, no active suspects." "10-4 Unit 5. All units, 'Shooting on Charlton Avenue is now code 2. Units to still respond. Ambulance on route." You holster you weapon. Taking a moment to recollect your breath. You proceed to remove the weapon off your suspect and search his persons. After being satisfied he poses no further threat you get up, turning to leave the jeweler. a couple of beat cops rush past to secure the scene. Allowing you to cool down after your near brush with death. "Good shots there Anon. Two clean gunshot wounds to the chest. I don't think he's going to live..." You rush up, grabbing Liam's collar tightly. Your fingers grip against his white shirt and bullet proof vest. You look frustratingly into his face before pushing him back. "FUCK LIAM! We could have nabbed him. Now we have NO suspect, NO charges and NO trial. Instead we have a corpse in a gem shop, 100,000 bits worth of jewelry STILL missing and no further case!" You both stand in silence for a moment, shuffling in the awkwardness of the situation. You hear both of you and Liam's deep panting, both from the gunfight and confrontation. He looks downs towards his shoes, crossing his arms nervously. Before long, he looks back at you and nudges you lightly. "well... at least there's less paperwork with a corpse than a tried suspect..." you facepalm silently before making your way towards you car. You desperately need a nice cup of coffee right now to calm your nerves. Throwing any ideas of drinking the shit they call 'coffee' at Starbucks you plan on heading towards an authentic french coffee house across town. "Come on Liam, I need a nice coffee." "And you're buying right?" "What do you mean? We got the result you wanted so it's your turn to buy-" "Yeah, but you shot the guy... Therefore, you're buying!" "Liam, I am now exercising my seniority and ordering you to buy me a coffee." "Shit man. I hate it when you pull rank. You have a higher salary, and still force me to cover... So can I drive you car then?" "Hahaha!" You let out a sarcastic laugh. Knowing this is probably the 7th time he'd ask to drive your car. "Liam, there is no way I'm letting you drive my Volvo. EVER. Or at least for as long as my heart is pumping and I'm breathing." Your petty argument is stopped as you reach your parked vehicle. You unlock you Volvo XC60, entering from the driver's door. Hardly a Bureau issued vehicle but a personal favorite nonetheless. You sink into the comfortable, ergonomic seats, gripping the steering wheel gently. You stick your remote car access key into the holder, keeping it in place. You push the start stop button, bringing the turbo-charged Swedish machine to life. You easily reverse out of your parking space, making onto the main road in no time. God... I can taste that coffee already... Chapter 5: Party Pony!We're all going on a summer holiday! Jeez, sometimes it's fucking hot. I hate it when it's too hot. Meh, I decided to break what i wrote into two chapters. Just so it flows better and so it's not a huge chunk. Probably gonna post the next one by September. (I say that and it's probably gonna be late September or even October. >.<) ======================================================================== Chapter 5: Party Pony! ======================================================================== You're left here, standing soaking wet, freezing and unfulfilled. Noticing Rainbow Dash shake off most of the water off her fur, you plainly assume there aren't any towels nearby. You continue to sit here, wet and dripping. You curse to yourself; once for forgetting to remember a towel, and secondly, for knowing Rainbow Dash didn't remind you on purpose. I guess, I'm going to drip dry this evening You proceed to do a little shake; vigorously removing the excess moisture off your body. A gentle breeze blows into the room, sending a cold chill down your spine. You cross your legs, shivering in the cold. in front of you, Rainbow Dash is doing her best to retain her signature mane style. Small droplets of water cling onto the loose strands of hair. "Are you quite done, Dash?" "Huh?" "I'm freezing, if you haven't noticed." She lets out a cute laugh before pointing to you. "Yeah. Look! I can see some icicles hanging off of your tail!" You look instinctively towards your rear, somehow convinced that she was honest about her remark. Head turned, you see noting but a damp, shivering tail. "Har Har. Real Funny Dash-" A pair of hooves meets your neck. You feel a burning warmth pulsating throughout them, into your body. Within seconds you imagine any imaginary icicles melting off instantly. You stand there motionless, not knowing what to do next. Sure you were feeling much better but somehow you just felt slightly awkward standing idly. You think of the only possible thing to say, which wasn't exactly false. "Umm... Rainbow Dash. Is it me, or is it getting a bit steamy in here?" "Nah. Just say it Lightning. I'm that hot." "And so modest too..." You quickly release yourself from her grip, ready to head off to your arranged function. You look back at Rainbow Dash, beckoning for her to follow. She grins at you competitively before taking a runny leap out the open panoramic window. You anticipate her premature lead and grab her tail between your teeth. A sharp tug pulls her back behind you, letting you take a dive straight down from her floating house. Nice try Dash... You swiftly glide out of your straight free fall, feeling the cold evening air brush roughly against your un-preened feathers. The hot tub jets had not been gentle on your wings and have thoroughly messed up your flight dynamics. You take a second to adjust to the unusual flying style, slowing down just a bit to keep airborne. Behind, you hear a furious wing flapping; Obviously Rainbow Dash's. Before long you find yourself neck and neck with your only superior. She slows down to your pace, leaning closer in to talk comfortably. "Jeez Lightning. I didn't know you started to play dirty now." "Sometimes Dash, ethics in competition have to be overlooked." "OH! So it's a race now?" "When isn't it a race with you Dashie?" She gives you a wink and just laughs half-heartedly. She stops after a few seconds, mostly due to your stare. Somehow, you've seemed to put her off; causing her to look elsewhere for some other distraction. You both fly in silence for a minute, unable to figure out what each other was thinking. Eventually, Rainbow Dash cracks the ice, asking you a question you've probably never thought of before. "Lightning. Umm... if I asked you what was the most attractive thing about me what would you say?" "Well... That's easy I guess. Your personality of course! There's nopony like you Dash. And I like you because of that." She looks slightly annoyed at your answer. She tries her best to think about how to rephrase her question. She asks you again with a more serious tone. Obviously, this subject meant a lot to her. "No. I mean, like my body. What do you like about me. My physical body." You stare at her blankly. Unable to get an answer. Maybe you really didn't know what was the right thing to say. Or perhaps you were scared you could have answered wrongly. You look from hoof to head. Down from her mane to her tail. You honestly couldn't find a fault on her physique yet you wouldn't say any part of her was hugely striking. You're left there, mouth hanging open. "No gawking Lightning. So?" "Ahhhh... Your..." "Hmm?" "I can't say..." "You CAN'T say. or you WON'T say?" "No. It's not like that." "SO you're saying nothing catches your attention!" She looks at you with wide eyes. You're not sure if they're ones of accusation or just intimidation. You stumble on your words, trying to desperately find something to say. Somehow, your brain just isn't thinking. "NONONONO. I swear. like... I mean, Your flank is very much eye-catching!" "What?" "No wait! I meant you-" "*gasp* Lightning! I never thought you were that kind of pony. jeez, I thought had more morals than that." She looks at you with a gaping mouth. You feel somewhat embarrassed and misunderstood but don't feel like opening your mouth anytime soon. "Ah well. I guess we all have our deep desires lightning." "That's not what I meant, Dash." "Well if it feels any better I've always loved your wings. They're so... cool." "Really? 'cool'. That's all you can say about them Dash?" "Meh. Mine are still about 20% cooler." You look down at a brightly lit lakeside in a park. It looks as if the entire town was having a party. You think to yourself if this was really necessary to welcome one pony. taking a steep dive you hope to make an impressive fly by just above the water. you hear a speech from what you imagine to be the mayor. Surprisingly, talking about you. "Mares and gentlecolts, it is with great pleasure that I can announce a new citizen of Ponyville and the latest addition to our expanding weather management team, a Mr Lightning Strike." As you pull up sharply, you hear a muffled snigger before feeling a jabbing kick to the top of your wings. You lose your precisely tuned balance and can only watch as you accelerate towards the water at a neck breaking speed. Don'tbreakyourneckDon'tbreakyourneckDon'tbreakyourneck "Having studied at the 'Cloudsdale Academy for the gifted and talented' Lightning is known to be a top flier and an excellent athelete-" *SPLASH* FUCKIT You feel a stinging pain across your legs as they drag across the surface of the water. You cry a little inside, feeling the pain and irony of getting a friction burn on water. You quickly surface, spitting out a mouthful of freshwater. You mane hangs over your face, covering one eye. As you focus with the other, you look right at a huge crowd, silent and frozen. They stare right back at you, not moving a muscle. The deathly silence fills your stomach with unease. you hear a slight pitter patter of water as your mane releases single drops into the lake. "AWSOME!" A random pony in the crowd cries out. A cacophony of applause, cheer and laughter break across the audience; Many amused and entertained by your unorthodox entry. You turn around and see a very content Rainbow Dash land and quickly make conversation with her friends. You hastily make your way to the edge of the lake, wading out slowly due to your wet and heavy fur. A large hoof extends out in a helpful manner. You grab it without second thought. An unexpected strong grip heaves you clean out of the water. you hang for a brief second before being dropped onto the ground. You haven't known or seen anypony who could do something like that besides your old friend Thunder. Hopeful, you look up at your rescuer, staring right at his face. "Thanks for... uhh. that." "Eeyup" yeah. Definitely not Thunder. wobbling on your hooves, you focus on your new acquaintance. A huge bright red stallion, towering over you. His cropped tail and work horse collar suggest he's in the farming business. Somehow, his appearance reminds you of somepony. Looking closer at his burnt blonde mane and light freckles, you suspect a family resemblance to AppleJack. Too young to be her dad; ergo, her brother "Hi there. I take it you're AppleJack's brother?" "Eeyup." "Lightning Strike. Pleased to meet you... err-" "Big Mac. Big Macintosh." "Cool beans." You stare at him for a moment, pondering a thought. "Can I call you Mac?" "Eeyup." "Can I call you Biggy?" "Nnope." You laugh, somewhat amused with his repetitive, somber replies. You wish him well, moving through the crowd. Many of the ponies pat you on the bag or offer to buy you a drink. You simply smile at them and politely decline. With this many ponies buying you drinks, you could easily get hammered within minutes. It didn't help that you had a very low alcohol tolerance. Damn. All these ponies are just so friendly. You look towards the DJ stand in the distance. Ignoring the heavy thumping of the music, you spot a white coloured, electric blue maned mare manning the sound booth. Though you cant see much detail from here, you spot her eyes covered completely by the black sunglasses. Shit. Have I seen her somewhere before? You end up standing there, staring at the peculiar figure. She looks in your direction; giving you a wave. If she didn't have those sunglasses on, you swear she winked at you. OK. Moving on... You shuffle through the ecstatic crowd, making your way past the hectic dance floor. You spot a familiar group of ponies milling about in a corner. Just the bright fluffy pink tail immediately told you that you knew these ponies. You happily make your way over there, spotting the six mares to be enjoying a good conversation. You waltz over confidently, pushing past a few ponies. You lean over middle of a cyan blue pony, reaching over to the other five of the group. You push down on the pony, resting most of your weight against her spine. You put on your best polite voice. "Can I interest any of you mares in a drink?" The five mares giggle between themselves. They reply to you one at a time. "OH!OH! Lightning. I'll have a cider please. LIKEYOUKNOW?CIDER?!" you smile and nod to Pinkie Pie, bouncing in joy over your kind gesture. "Ah guess I'll take a shot of whiskey please Lightning." You turn your head and acknowledge a humble looking Applejack, sitting comfortably beside Pinkie. A quiet voice catches your attention. Just beside Applejack you find Fluttershy asking for your attention. You make it clear you're listening and she place her order. Or at least what you hear to be it. "Just a small fruit cocktail for me Lightning. I mean- If you don't mind." Barely catching her order you quickly turn to see Rarity and Twilight deliberating on what to have. They both whisper and order the same drink. "We'll have a Hanky-Panky please." You stare at Twilight in shock and confusion; unable to process her request. You call out to her. "Excuse me?" Twilight looks at you in shock, hoping you haven't misinterpreted her request. Rarity on the other hand hides he mouth behind a hoof. You hear a muffled laugh as you spot a deep blush growing on Twilight's cheeks. She snaps back at you. "It's a drink Lightning! Geez. Grow up a bit." You continue to stretch the joke a bit, just to see her reaction. "So, you want me to ask the bartender over there. 'for some Hanky-Panky's?'" "Haha. You're such a comedian Lightning." Twilight stares at you and rolls her eyes. You hear a loud whinny resonate from beneath you. It's accompanied with a stern 'ahem'. You cock your head to the side with a cheeky smile on you face. You lock eyes with a very sore looking Rainbow Dash. You put on the worst innocent voice ever, trying very hard not to hide your insolence. "Oh! I'm sorry Skittles. I honestly didn't see you there." "Hmmf. You aren't gonna offer me a drink Lightning?" You dismount Rainbow Dash, staring at her right hoof. She's clutching a huge cider mug, topped to the brim with a bubbling froth. You wonder if Rainbow Dash is on to something or if she really wasn't paying attention. "Rainbow Dash, not trying to insult your intelligence here but; Haven't you already got a drink?" you point to her full mug of Applejack brand cider. She looks down at her mug and back to you quickly. "That's not the point. You still never offered to get me a drink!" Your smile disappears into an apathetic expressionless look. "Can I please offer you a drink Miss Rainbow Dash?" She looks at you for a second, almost in a stupefied state. She walks cup closely to your face. You feel her hot, cidery breath against your cheek. The smell penetrates your nose, giving an intoxicating buzz. "Hmm..." She slowly tips her cider mug over your head, spilling her mostly un-drunk drink onto you mane. You feel the warm cider sticking to your mane. You lick your lips, tasting the strong cider around your mouth. The group gasps in horror, staring down Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow! The nice stallion offed you a drink! How do you even sleep at night?" She grunts annoyingly before replying. "Well, that depends on what position I had sex that evening..." You make a quick getaway, not needing any more of Rainbow Dash's bawdy humour. As you make off, you try hard to remember what everypony wanted. Behind you you hear a playful argument erupting about a certain somepony's lewd conduct. =============================================================================== Making your way back to the delightful group of mares was most certainly more challenging; you balance a tray of seven drinks on your back, shuffling past yet another group of party-goers. You make it back to your friends in one pieces, distributing out the drinks as requested. You remark to Twilight and Rarity how the bartender gave you a curious look as you demanded a Hanky-Panky. The elated group laughs and continues to converse amongst each other. You hand over another full mug of cider to Rainbow Dash who pecks you lightly on the cheek for your endeavour. Certainly not quite a task for a knight in shining armour but sompony needs to carry drinks. You sit there, listening to the many conversations. A smaller mug of cider rests in your hooves. You stare at the delectable froth, licking it off slowly. Around you, the ponies seem to be enjoying their drinks. After hours of endless conversation you notice many ponies to be on their 4th or 5th drink; even Fluttershy seems to be enjoying her 7th fruit cocktail. What little alcohol in her drink barely starting to take effect. You stare down into the mug in your hooves. It was just under half full and you swear you were starting to feel slightly light headed. You try and ensure not to get drunk enough to start spewing out incriminating secrets... or today's lunch. Beside you you notice Rainbow Dash already on her 6th or 7th large mug of cider. She's clearly not able to keep up with the conversations and trying hard just to conjure a sentence. Before you know it the party seems to be winding down to a close. Many of the ponies who have stayed this long were very clearly here for the drink and not the company. By now only a handful of ponies were still present; many making their way home. You bid farewell to each of your friends as they make their way home in pairs. Rarity hobbles off, supporting Twilight in her steps. In the opposite direction, Fluttershy is making small chat with Applejack as they head towards her farm. You're left here with a nearly blacked-out Rainbow Dash. "come on Ligshtning... letsh have shome fun..." You only watch as Rainbow Dash struggles to her feet. She barely managed to produce that sentence and you doubt she could get herself off the ground let alone make it home. A brilliant idea quickly springs into your mind. You don't know of how much use it would be but you've always wanted to say this. "Go home Rainbow Dash, you are drunk." Her eyes stare at your mouth for a brief second. She licks her lips sloppily, still trying to process her surroundings. She smiles and frowns before giving a one word answer. "NOOEEWWW" Ah Well... It was worth a shot. You execute plan B, trying your best method to get both of you home intact. In one swift motion you quickly scoop her from under her legs, lifting her whole body onto your back. She doesn't struggle; instead, collapsing and putting her full weight onto you. She was extremely light, even for Pegasus standards. You fiddle a bit to try and get her securely on your back. Her slim body instantly droops over you. She's out cold. You take a running jump, using large, long wing flaps to keep both of you airborne. As you fly through the silent night you feel a sense of calm and peace around you. Night time was the best for flying. The white glow of Luna's moon illuminates the landscape. You spy your lone shadow on the ground below. Your two bodies create a distorted, weird pony shape. You eventually make it to Rainbow Dash's floating house. Just in time too as Rainbow Dash's snoring would have started to wake up the town. You look at Rainbow Dash, hoping to find a key to the door. You feel around her body, somehow hoping she carried a key on her. She giggles in her sleep as you almost tickle and fondle some delicate spots. You don't know what you were thinking. Maybe she had a key in some sort of magical pocket? Nope. You sigh in despair, but a small smile breaks out on the edge of your mouth. You calmly walk up to the plant pot beside the door and fish into the dirt inside. You pull out a grimy brass key, unlock the door and proceed to drag Rainbow Dash inside. You quickly convert her cloud stairs into a ramp, flattening out the steps into a flat, angles surface. mostly. You grab both rear legs; hoisting her up the ramp, the few uneven bumps can be seen as Rainbow Dash slides over them like a worm. You quickly reach her bedroom. You gently place her into her cloud bed, tucking her in under the cover. She's sleeping like a hibernating bear. You know she's going to regret this tomorrow and proceed to leave her room; quietly closing the door behind you and sliding onto her downstairs couch. You've had enough for one day and fall asleep before you've counted two sheep leaping over the fence. =========================================================================== Because nobody want's to see a hungover Rainbow Dash do they? Right? Spelling, grammatical and other errors everywhere! Thanks for reading! Chapter 6: Best. Morning. Ever.School sucks. Period. I hope everypony is OK. Content with life. hmm? Sorry for the really, really late update. Doing A-levels now and giving much less time to do anything else :( . Also finding it a mixture of pain and annoyance as well as fun and eye-opening. "People who like to avoid shocking discoveries... should stay away from Sociology." P. Berger =================================================================================== Chapter 6: Best. Morning. Ever. =================================================================================== You feel a sharp nip on your wings; it feels ecstatic. You feel another bite on your wings; the sensation tingles down your spine. You purr quietly to yourself, not ready to face the world. Another nip. This time, painfully. You cry out in agony, rolling off the couch. A morning wing-boner prevents you from rolling over onto your back... at least without a ton of pain. You stare up at the source of the biting, staring at a cute little green tortoise. He looks at you angrily, beckoning for attention. "You got a problem Tank?" You've met tank only a few times, mostly just passing him a cheery glance. He knocks into your skull, floating with his propeller pack. "Ouch. What was that for?" He bits at your fur, trying to pull you with him. You take the hint and follow him towards the kitchen. He pokes his food bowl on the ground before rubbing his tummy. "Oh right. You're hungry. Got it." You dig around in the shelves for his bag of food. You struggle to find anything amidst the protein powder and tinned foodstuff. Strange... pets don't usually get hungry until after sunrise. You quickly turn and spot the clock dangling above the stove. It reads 8:45. Way past the crack of dawn. You curse to yourself and continue to search the cupboards. Eventually, you find a cupboard just filled with tortoise food and treats. You grab a random box, ripping the top off with your teeth. You dump enough in his bowl to form a huge mountain and race to fill up his water bowl. You turn the tap to full, spraying a jet of water into the bowl. The strong blast ricochets off the bowl and drenches you in cold tap water. Perfect. Shower done. You drop the bowl beside Tank, surprised that he's nearly eaten half the mountain of pellets. its hunger amazes you, for such a small animal. You don't waste a second longer, sprinting out the front door. At the edge of her cloud home, just beside her mailbox you spot a recognizable clipboard. Attached to it is a beige coloured A4 sheet with a stamp from the department of weather. You read the body of it in silence. No upcoming weather events scheduled for today. Proceed as normal and arrange fair numbers of cumulus and alto-cumulus clouds over the Ponyville area before 0900 Great You think to yourself. I've got fifteen minutes to procure at least two dozen clouds for today. You make some small calculations in your head. If you need twenty-four clouds and take about thirty seconds per cloud. You'd be done in twelve minutes with some time to spare for tidy up. You get to work, forming delicate puffy clouds above Ponyville. below you notice many Ponyville residents getting on with their day. Somehow, they don't seem to be disturbed by the lack of weather, or at least they don't show it. You race with time to get your work done, forming every cloud with precise touches and puffiness. You try to perfectly shape the cloud just as the textbook wants you too and ensure the specification is precisely matched. You waste valuable time, forgetting your 'expert' timings. You're stuck on one cloud, trying desperately to make it cute in shape. Just enough puff to give it volume but not too much as to make it odd. What should have taken up less than a minute was now tying you down for nearly five. Just as you perfect the look and feel of it you sigh a breath of relief. Suddenly, a certain Rainbow Pegasus appears out of nowhere, smashing on top of your nurtured child you call a cloud. She flattens it, making it look like a pretty lame souffle. "Heya Rookie. Still following it by the book I see." You float there in annoyance. Leaving your hooves dangling in the air. "Hey Rainbow Dash. You know that feeling when you spend a really long time getting your work done or finishing a masterpiece? And then somepony comes along to fuck it up. Yeah, I'm getting that right now..." She smiles and laughs before quickly stamping on top of the cloud. It immediately forms a perfect cumulus; puffy with a cotton like look and feel. You float there in shock and annoyance. You're about to remind Rainbow Dash about the rest of the clouds that need doing before she interrupts you. "Don't worry Lightning. Look" She gestures to the filled skies, covered in lush assortments of clouds. "Ten, seconds flat." "But- But, how. And the things- The- Clouds." "Come on. I'm the best pegasi who ever lived. Not just cuz i'm fast. I know a thing or two about weather." "And just when did you wake up?" "Tank woke me up just now. And by the way, thanks for feeding him Lightning." She gives you an amorous hug while the two of you float mid air. "...No problem..." You take a seat on one of the cloud still amazed at how quickly she did her work. You think to yourself why she doesn't do this everyday. Maybe it was a sudden reflex thing, or perhaps last minute pressure. On a different note, you almost sink in into the silky like cloud; adoring the plush level of comfort it gave you. Rainbow Dash takes a seat beside you, sporting an apologetic smile. "Ehh... Thanks for bringing me home last night too Lightning." "Really Rainbow Dash. It was nothing." "Did you need to carry me?" "Are you serious? You were out cold Rainbow Dash." "Huh. I can't remember. Good thing too though. My mouth says some pretty weird things when I'm... you know.." "Wouldn't that be a shame..." She smiles at you, knowing your next plan will be when you two are out with drinks. She returns another thankful smile. "But seriously Lightning. Thanks a lot. Usually I just pass out on the grass. Sleeping there till sunrise. It's soo embarrassing." Daww, she has a drinking problem. Adorkable... She leans over to you and tries to kiss you on the cheek. You reflectively grasp her, tilting your head. You plant a kiss on her lips, giving both of you a warm, fuzzy feel inside. The only thing preventing you two from having an all out make-out is your annoying sense of self-control. You end your kiss slowly, letting her lie across your legs. You place a hoof on her tummy, gently rubbing in a circular motion. She lets out an initial squeak before groaning out in delight. She gently lets out a low purring noise, enjoying her belly rub. You lean your head back, basking in the morning sun. Lazily, you two sit there for what feels like an eternity. as the morning sun slowly draws across the horizon, you begin to feel it shine into your face. You feel ready to go home and hastily ask Rainbow Dash about work. "Umm... We're done here right? Rest of the day off now?" "Mmm... Yeah. Unless we get another order for some random weather I think we're good for now." You sit up, ready to head back home. Before you can even leap off you feel Rainbow Dash taking a running jump, racing you back to her house. You happily oblige; diving off with grace, with Rainbow Dash in hot pursuit. In no time she quickly catches up to you and overtakes. You're left behind, watching as she get further away. At least the view's good You eye her lean, mean body cutting through the sky, tightly shaped; slicing the air. As she gets smaller in the distance you push harder, wanting to keep her in your view. You give yourself a little incentive to keep up with Rainbow Dash. Don't lose sight of that curved flank... ========================================================================== *Huff* *Huff* You fall to the ground, exhausted with your work and morning flight. You crawl to the kitchen, desperate for a glass of water. You believe Rainbow Dash has run off for a quick shower. With no energy left to join her, you sink back into the sofa and only imagine what shes doing in there. *Pomf* Luckily, nopony's around to see it. Feeling bored, you rummage through her entertainment system and movie collection. You can see a couple of gaming systems lining her table top and two drawers underneath. You peek into the first smaller drawer to find a bunch of common and popular games; fighting, adventure and a cart load of racing games. You hear a noise coming from the bathroom and quickly take a peek over your shoulders. You see nothing. Satisfied that you've seen or played all these games before you proceed to shut the top drawer and move onto the bottom one. You heave it open with some force and are surprised to find out just mow much Dash loves her movies. You find an assortment of genuine films such as a whole box set of the Daring Doo series and some less than legal copies of other B-rated movie. Deeper inside her collection you find a small box with a crudely written, marked sticker. XXX Material. Do Not Open. You stare at it closer and contemplate what could be inside it. You slowly place a hoof on the cover, sweating as you try and lift it. Thoughts race through your mind. Both in confusion and genuine uncertainty. Is this clop? Is it like, Dashie's secret clop?? Wait. Dashie actually clops?!? SO HAWT!!! "Ahem." *Pomf* You turn around. "Jeez Lightning. You need to relax a bit. Have you seen yourself? That wingboner's throbbing so much it looks like its gonna explode." "Like that's gonna happen Dashie..." She glances over your shoulder, curious to find out what you're doing. You quickly place the lid back onto the box but fail to place it back in without her noticing. Her eyes twitch a bit at the sight of the box but she hardly reacts. You smile at her innocently before placing the box back into the depths from which it came. She pats you on the head, almost like a pet. "Ummm..." "Lightning, You can use whatever you want in this house-" You hope this doesn't turn into a personal space lecture. "-But if you really want to know, I don't think you'd enjoy what's in that box." "And you would know?" "Ok. Unless you're into colt-cuddling or a bit of threesome actio-" "OK. Ok. Nevermind. Change of topic please?" "Sure. Hit me." "Ummm... Skittles? Do you clop?" She smiles at you devilishly before once again patting you on the head. She walks away and slinks into the couch. You turn around and notice a controller in her hoof. You look puzzled; staring at her. She stares back at you in impatience. "Come on... Hurry up!" "What?" "Stick a game in." "Oh, right..." You rummage though the game pile looking for something you two would both enjoy. Obviously a racing game... You pick out a flashy racing game, reading the title: Wonderbolts Unlimited 3 OK... You slot the disk into the console and slink down beside Rainbow Dash. Upon seeing the title of the game onscreen she quickly sits up in her seat. "OH! I love this game Lightning!" You look at the gaming history and find many thousands of hours clocked in on the game. "Evidently..." You quickly settle in, creating your own avatar and designing your own Wonderbolt around your image. You pimp up his stats and appearance, giving him a desirable likeness. "Come on Lightning; this is a racing game, not a dress-up game." "Just give me a minute, All champions need to look good." "Pff." You finish up customizing your pony and hit start. You let Rainbow Dash set up the game, scrolling through the mountain of items and settings. You barely catch some of the text. Decrypting it to be an agility race through a ravine or valley. "OK. Let's do this..." The loading sequence renders the world, revealing a rocky and thin canyon for a racing track. Both Rainbow Dash's and your character hover over the start line. You familiarize yourself with the controls, almost mastering it within seconds. you hear the in-game commentator give a countdown. 3 2 1 You push a joystick forward, hoping to shoot off to a start. Instead, your pony does a pathetic dive downwards, almost killing himself. Master at controls my ASS You lose a valuable head start to Rainbow Dash watching as her character swoops and dives through the guide rings. You catch up slowly, narrowly dodging the sharp, pointy rock formations. Your effort goes in vain. Before you manage to even catch up, the game enters cinematic mode. You watch as Rainbow Dash's uncanny resemblance of an avatar darts through the finish line. The character does a cheeky taunt to rub salt into the would. Balls to that. You continue to play countless rounds, racing across many different maps and terrains. You play sprints, cross countries and even a small wingball mini-game and lose at all of them. "Wow, Lightning. Even your computer you sucks." "Hahaha. Funny Rainbow Dash. Really, you are..." You stomp over to the console and smash the eject button. You grab the game disk, scowl at it and return it to its little box where it belongs. You quickly inset a new more recent game. Something of a personal favourite. Pony Fighter Reloaded AWWWW YEAHHH Both Rainbow Dash's and your avatar are cross compatable between games and your wonderbolts outfit quickly gives way to a more rugged but equally as tight looking combat suit. You hit ready and only wait to see what Rainbow Dash has to say about this game. "Come on Rainbow Dash. Afraid of losing?" You spot her character, all dressed up and ready to fight. Her pony stands in battle stance, ready to fight. You almost stare, mouth wide agape at the tight suit her pony was clad in. soo clopable... "Yeah. I know Lightning. My milkshakes brings and the colts to the yard." "We'll see about that." You click random on the settings and hit start. both ponies drop into a forest like clearing, facing each other for battle. "I am offering you a dignified surrender Rainbow Dash." "Kiss my Ass!" "With pleasure..." You push the joystick right, charging towards your opponent. A series of button mashing and skillful dodges later, you stand victorious over a knocked out or possibly dead opponent. It was hard to tell which. "I FUCKING CALL HACKS!!!" You stare at an enraged Rainbow Dash, you spot some rose in her cheeks as she gets annoyed but no steam from her ears yet. You pat her on the head. Like a Boss... "There there. best two out of three?" "Oh, you're dead now you little shit." She mashes the 'ready' button, aching for a rematch. This time you play defensive, toying around with her. You jump over her head, dodging her blows. You hear the frustration in her harsh treatment of the controller. You cant help but laugh a little inside. "I know you're enjoying this in your head Lightning." Awww snap. She catches you off guard, sneaking in a wild punch. It knocks you off game, losing you nearly a third of your health. You take no further risk, dispatching your foe and ending the second round. *Pant* *Pant* "How did you know what I was thinking?" "I didn't. I just needed a distraction." "Such a dirty player... Have you no ethics Rainbow Dash?" "Shut up and Ready up." You spot her hooves bashing at the start button, aching to beat the crap out of your character. You gladly hit start yourself and prepare for an enjoyable fun session. You play a few more rounds. Winning all but this one. As you play what looked to be another normal round, Rainbow Dash manages to grab a power up and starts beating your ass senseless. Her sneak attacks always gets you from behind, stunning your character for a few moments and allowing her you punch and kick at your rear end wildly. You lose in the worst possible way. You character ends face down in the dirt. "Ok. You win Dashie. GG." She ignore your comment, you look to her only to find her determined face getting some sort of enjoyment from the screen. You look back and find her avatar squatting over yours. Fucking Tea-bagging... "Yeah. THAT'S RIGHT! SUCK IT. YOU'RE MY BITCH NOW!" You facehoof. Unable to look at your defeated character having to face such a unforgiving opponent. You can only imagine the poor pony being forced into slavery by his victor. Yeah. As if that never happens in real life... You play a few more rounds, killing her and almost indefinitely winning. After each round you see her face getting a deeper shade of red. Yep, I see steam coming out now... You end with the most uncreative but memorable game winning kills. Your character sets up for a skull crushing move, weakening her health to one and stunning her. As she stands incapacitated, you mash a series of complicated buttons. You stare at the screen. Your pony walks slowly to her. He stares her in the eyes before giving a hard slap in the face. it does a minimal one damage. her pony falls over, it's right cheek pink from the hoof mark. What a finisher... Red text hovers on her half of the screen. GAME OVER. LOSER You cant contain your joy, falling over in agony as a warm fuzzy feeling of victory fills your heart. A winner is you! "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" You spot a fierce looking Rainbow Dash diving over to your half of the couch. However you feel hardly threatened. On the contrary, you feel a sharp sting in your abdomen due to all the laughing. You manage keep her off of you with one hoof as you clench your aching side with the other. She hurls a volley of vulgar insults at your direction as her hooves try and wring your neck. You use your hind legs to prevent her from coming closer. She starts to run out of steam, each lunge getting weaker and less aimed. You lock your hind legs, clamping hers together. You reach for her tummy, then to her side. going for the weak spot. *Tickle Tickle* Her anger turns to uncontrollable laughter as she tries to worm her way out of your tight grip. You make no intention of letting her go. She starts to break into a tear of laughter, unable to take the relentless waves tickles. "P-Please. Stop I-it. Lig-Lightning!" "Who's so Boss at gaming?" "W-what?" "Say it..." "Y-you. For Fu-fucks sake! Y-you!" "Damn Right!" You release you death lock on Rainbow Dash. She falls flat onto you. Her nose touching yours. You feel satisfied in your position as gamer of the year. "I hate losing." "And I love winning!" You get up and look again at her huge collection of games. Hoping to find something that wouldn't lead to you both ripping each other to shreds for the rest of the day, you uncover a somewhat dated co-op adventure game. You read the back of the case and indeed confirm a split screen co-op. "Quest for Adventure: The Lost Relic?" "I dibs the rogue class." "Warrior for the win Dashie." You insert the disk,returning to your seat, eager to play. Once again, your avatar is cross compatible and swaps his combat fatigues for a set of plate Armour. As the heaviest class in game you get the honour of using the mighty longsword. You both hit start, quickly plunging into a deep and rich story of an ancient relic lost within and forgotten land. You set of from your tutorial base and quickly set about to slay your first skeletons and giant spiders. "Kill it! Kill it" You watch Rainbow Dash squirm in her seat, trying to slay the creepy crawlies with throwing knives. You sense a mild disgust for arachnids of any sort. In an case, you bring your heavy longsword down on the eight legged creature, slicing its head off the body. The animated gore fills the screen with a plethora of goo and blood. "Grab the loot and hurry up Dash!" Her character runs about onscreen picking up random collections of bits, bone and power-ups. You continue moving through the lever, clearing stage by stage, any enemies in your path. You find it difficult to collect treasure due to your slow class and often lag much behind Rainbow Dash. "Come on Lightning. Cant that stupid pony go any faster." "Just. Keep going- I'm coming!" "That's all I ever seem to hear you say..." "Get your head out of the gutter Rainbow. I'm playing a fun game here." She giggles at her own immaturity and runs back towards your character. You keep moving forward, ignoring her unusual behavior. "Maybe this helps." Her character lunges at you with a knife, dealing minimal damage but pushing him forward a small bit. You stop and look and Rainbow Dash. The delight in her face reveals itself at her new found way of 'urging' you forward. She repeats the action, nudging your character along faster by a few pixels. "Stop that. You're damaging me." "Yeah, but you move faster see." You can only watch as her character takes jab after jab at your increasingly weak pony. Before you know it, you're down to barely ten hit points, a mere twelfth of your full health. "Sometimes Lightning, the only way to get a bull moving is to give it a-" She does it again. "-Little prod!" Your health drops to five, another hit and your out for the count. Screw this. You turn your near dead character around. Hitting a not to complex series of buttons, you watch as your pony unsheathes his weapon, revealing it's true destructive nature. He grasps it and keeps it low, rather than an overhead swing. You tap one button, causing him to thrust it deep into your partner. "Sometimes, Dash. If you poke the bull to hard; He turns around and fucks you up." She drops her dagger, unable to even stand. Collapsing in a heap, with longsword still in chest, your beloved and cherished team mate runs out of hit points. Before you can say anything, an arrow strikes your character on the back, incapacitating him. You fall over onto your bleeding companion, unable to be revived. If only you had a teammate to help you... A horde of zombie ponies shuffle onto screen, bearing down on you and Rainbow Dash. You both lie, incapacitated and unable to fight back effectively. You feel a hoof smack you on the side. "Ow. What?" "Look! Now we're both down and about to be eaten by a horde of zombies." Idiot. "Well... At least our characters dies together. See-" You point towards the red tinted screen; Both ponies lie almost on top of each other, wielding short swords for protection. You flail your weapon about hopelessly, killing maybe one or two foes. This could almost be romantic... almost. Your fight to the death ends quickly with the horde ripping both you and Rainbow Dash to shreds. You almost cringe at the gory sound effects and visual depiction of the undead feasting on your succulent bodies. "Well... I hope you tasted good Dashie." You look at her, shielding her face from the blood and gore onscreen. You hear a faint squeak come out from her mouth. She squirms up into a ball, unwilling to watch her avatar die painfully. You turn back to the screen, watching as the dead now rip out all sorts of internal organs from your carcasses. *bleh* You slowly creep up to Rainbow Dash's half of the couch, trying hard to mimic a shuffle and groan of the dead. You slide a hoof up her leg, leaning over her tucked in body. "RAWR" You clench her chest with your hooves, mimicking a bite at her ear. A little nibble to tease her. She lets out a terrifyingly cute scream, wriggling about in terror. "Don't eat my brains!" She lets out a series of weak and harmless slaps and punches at your head. This only drives you further, pushing her down onto the couch. "Lightning, S-stop! I ha-hate you now." You let go, ending your nibble of her ear. You breath onto her sweaty fur, ending with a lick to the cheek. "Jeez Lightning, When did horror ever turn you on?" "Come on Rainbow Dash, I know you liked it." She sits back up, hugging a pillow tightly. You both stare at the dark black TV screen, unsure of what to do now. *Grumble* You look towards the source of the sound, finding yourself staring at Rainbow Dash's tummy. You feel a gnawing pain in your stomach as well, signalling your apparent hunger. You look at the time. "I guess that's Lunch then." "YAY!!!" ============================================================================ Next chapter: Somepony shows off his cooking talents... ============================================================================= Haha! I'm writing 2 chapters ahead as you read this. Still, it doesn't mean I'll update anytime soon, like in the next two weeks. :( Anyways... Happy Halloween Everyone!
Prologue:Thanks everypony for all the support and comments for my last story. I enjoyed writing the fic and felt it really needed that ending. Although a book may have a sad ending, the sequel can still redeem it... Please note that this chapter (only!) is second person from Rainbow's perspective . The next ones will not... Let us continue our story =========================================================================== Prologue "Another bit... Another day! =========================================================================== You toss and tumble in your heavenly cloud bed. Those dreams haunting you in your sleep again. You quickly get up, checking your neck you have a cold sweat. It was that dream again. The day you wrote the letter and cowardly abandoned your colt-friend, your lover... your best friend. You think it over to yourself again and again. How the hell am I the element of loyalty!! I couldn't even go through flight school with the only pony I loved... You bury your face into the airy cloud pillow and let out the waterworks. Nopony had ever seen you like this before and you want to keep it that way. You keep your emotional side to your bedroom; your reputation would be ruined if the town saw you acting like a lovesick filly. All around you are the many posters and souvenirs that lined your dorm room walls and shelves. You keep them there to remind you of Lightning but the pain of leaving him still creeps up on you. You quickly scramble under your bed and fumble about with a cardboard box. You carefully pry open the old container and spot you’re most cherished, favourite memories inside. The ticket Lightning got you on your sixteenth birthday. Beside it lay the autographed picture Lighting also got for you on that occasion. Around them lay the many other memories of Lightning taking you out on the best nights of your life. You quickly slam the box shut and shove it deep under your bed. You break out into another wave of tears that soak into your pillow and sheets. "WHY DID I LEAVE YOU LIGHTNING!!!?” You slam your bead onto the pillow and sit in silence for a moment. Eventually, you decide to get on with life again and put on your brave face. You slowly drag yourself to your bathroom and stare into the empty mirror. From the reflection you can see a pathetic pony who left the only thing she loved in the world because she couldn't handle schoolwork. You examine yourself closer and start to rub your eyes, now puffy and swollen from the teary outburst earlier. You turn to make your way into the shower when a thought quickly creeps up into your mind. *SIGH* That's like the shower Lightning used to make love to me in... You can't help but chuckle lightly at remembering your passionate moments. back then, you were either eager to try 'new' things or just a really horny pony. Either way, a typical teenage pony. Upon remembering Lightning again, you can’t help but start to break into tears again. You quickly turn the shower onto highest blast on cold and start to wash your body. ======================================================================== You dry yourself quickly, trying not to think back to how Lightning used to do things for you and to you. This was just another one of those days. Those days when you feel your past is going to haunt you again. These episodes used to happen every night for the first year. Then every other night and eventually now... only about twice a month. You dry your multicoloured hair and furiously rubbed it to get your signature rugged look. you check the time and quickly remembered your task for the day... Somepony needed to clear the sky and you were the only pony in the weather clearing team here. You could say it was just another day. Another day for another bit to be earned. You jump out your bedroom window, apathetic enough not to use the front door. You make a steep dive towards the ground but quickly pull up giving a moderate ground clearance. You weren't showing off for anypony today so why try hard? You head off in search of those pesky clouds and make quick work of clearing the sky. In a whole hour you were done with the day's work. Another 200 easy bits in the bag. You make your way back to your cloud home but you are quickly interrupted by a quiet voice coming from below. You look down and spot a tiny orange Pegasus on a scooter. Scootaloo. You stop midflight to greet your admirer. You give her a polite wave. She shouts out something to you, though you barely make out what she’s saying... "HEY RAINBOW DASH!! THAT WAS SOOO AWSOME" "I know, kid..." "I'M SURPRISED FOR ALL YOUR TALENT; YOU'VE NEVER MET A NICE STALLION TO BE WITH!" You heard her clearly that time. You feel the piercing remark go through your heart. You hold back a tear and just continue flying back to your cloud home. In the distance you can hear her calling out to you. You don't look back, making the shortest possible flight possible to avoid any other ponies. ========================================================================= Landing just outside your home, you spot a pink envelope on your doorstep. By the looks of the crater in front of the doorstep you presume derpy had just delivered the mail. You quickly grab a piece of cloud and repair the huge dent in your floor. *SIGH* Lightning used to crash on my doorstep You block your distant memories and open the pink envelope. The distinct smell of baked goods immediately fills your nostrils and by that you know that this was sent by Pinkie Pie. Inside, the note was a bright, multicoloured invite to another one of her meaningless parties. You look at the time and notice the party to start in just about 20 minutes. She never was known for planning parties days in advance like a normal pony would. Sure, just a "WHY DONT YOU COME IN 2 MINUTES!?!?" You pause momentarily in your thoughts and take a deep breath. You can feel your heavy breathing and see your chest rising as falling with your lung size. You feel the individual beads of sweat trickling down your neck, you were feeling real agitated today. Everything just seemed to rile you up. It could be down to you missing Lightning or maybe it was just your PMS acting out... "I guess I'll go... Nothing better to do anyway." You take a gently flight high in the sky where nopony will see or bother you. You take the time to contemplate your life and what you've done. You look at your life goals and how you want to get there. you question what do you really want in life? "I want Lightning back..." Shit... All this thinking is making my head hurt... You quickly end your day dreaming flight and head over to sugarcube corner. You push the door open and quickly sense the jolly atmosphere inside. The entire place was covered in an array of decorations panning from balloons and streamers to ribbons and confetti. The whole crew was there, doing their own thing. Fluttershy was the first one to spot you; she waves politely and beckons you to come over. Fluttershy was and still is the only pony to know about what you got up to in flight school. Every time you spot her, you notice her changed personality from the Academy. She did complete her final year with Thunder but after they graduated... they just made their own ways. Or as Fluttershy decided to call it 'We took a break from each other'. You used to pester her about what happened to Lightning. She would tell you that besides being a quiet pony who just got on with life, he truly missed you. "Um... Rainbow Dash?" You snap out of your depressing daydream... "were you thinking of him again?" You look into Fluttershy's eyes; she has that comforting, caring look about her. You feel half your worries melt away and let a small tear out. "Yeah... I was Flutter's" "Hay ya two! Whata yer up to? You turn around and spot Applejack with her Stetson hat. She stare you in the eyes and can instantly read your mood. "Are you okay sugarcube?" "I'm fine Applejack." "Okay then... Just makin sure you two were fine." You leave the small corner Flutterhshy is hiding in and quickly join the rest of the group with the celebrations. You spot Pinkie being... Pinkie by the buffet table and notice Twilight giving some sort of lecture to Rarity. Applejack was busy making sure Pinkie didn't destroy anything but was happily sipping her mug of apple cider. Damn... I could really go for a cider right now... "Rainbow Dash!-" You turn to the sound of the voice, you see Twilight make her way over to you accompanied by Rarity. you dread having a dramatic encounter with Rarity. "-Just the pony we wanted to talk to!" "What do you mean?" "Well... The mayor just told me something I’m sure you're happy to hear." "I'm finally getting a raise for my work?" "ehh... give it another year. BUT now you get to be a boss!" "huh?" Rarity quickly interjects. "Darling! Some handsome new Pegasus is coming in as a weather pony this afternoon! I heard he's quite the charmer." "So what?" There's a quiet pause in the room. Most of your friends have stopped their shenanigans and are focused on your conversation. You spot Twilight gibing a very nervous look towards the ground. She starts tapping her hoof on the wooden floor. "Well... we thought maybe this would have been... a good opportunity to... You know, meet somepony that could be good for you." "WHAT? WHY?" Pinkie Pie quickly jumps into the conversation. "BECAUSE SILLY, you've been acting all depressed and lonely so we thought maybe a nice stallion would be good for you!" "You want me to date him?" "Yeah! You get so angsty sometimes and maybe you could use somepony to... ease any tension you might have" "So you want me to fuck him?" Twilight can’t put on any straight face. You can see the sneaky smile on her face. "Pretty much..." "Ah mean... It's not like you've ever gotten laid before Rainbow but maybe a relationship would be healthy for you." "Applejack! you too?" You look at the whole ring of friends surrounding you. Every one of them seems adamant on making you meet the new pony. Only Fluttershy had been left out of the circle. You turn and spot her just next to the buffet table. She clearly notices how awkward this situation has become and does her best not to interfere. You don’t want to meet some new pony, even if he is the most irresistible Pegasus anyponmy could ever see. You can feel the anger and sadness creep up on you. You try not to let it spill but the other keep going on about how good it could be for you. "Rainbow dear, look, this fellow might just be the one for yo-" "NO!" You smash your hoof on the ground. Everypony stops talking and looks at you. On your face, you can feel the tears streaming down your cheeks. "I had only one pony I ever loved in my life. He was the most awesome, coolest and kindest colt I ever met. Sorry to disappoint you all but I’m not a virgin." You hear an array of gasps from your friends. You continue with your outburst. "He made love to me like no pony could and I would never, ever break my promise to him!" An awkward silence creeps up on you. You feel your heart racing and your lungs racing to fill themselves with air. You look around you; all your friends are in shock. You decide that now was the time to leave. You slowly make your way out, nopony else makes a move. Before you exited the building, you quickly shouted out a last remark to the group before flying off to your house in tears. "FLUTTERSHY ALSO GOT LAID WITH HIS BEST FRIEND!" You could almost hear the multitude of gasps, shrieks and faints in the bakery behind you. You feel horrible for doing that to Fluttershy but also for your friends. Maybe they were right; maybe you were just being a bit bitchy. Fuck it... I'm going to make this pony's life as hard as possible if he makes a move on me You once again dive into your king sized cloud bed and bury your head into the pillow. After a few minutes of teary cries, the entire bed had swollen up, saturated with your teardrops of sorrow. Suddenly you hear your doorbell ringing. You know it to be the newcomer. You reluctantly get off your bed and make your way downstairs. You grumble under your breath hand take a painstakingly long time to get down. Eventually, you make it to your front door. You quickly unlock the door and swing it open. You look down from his hooves and turn your gaze slowly upwards. You spot the same coat colour and cute mane you remembered years ago. Your eyes finally meet his, those same adorable eyes you fell in love with back in the Academy. You take a step back and drop your jaw in surprise. You don't know what to say. It was him... "Uhh... Hiya Skittles!" =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You get reacquainted with your long lost friend... =========================================================================== SEE! Not all that bad! I'm sure you were all expecting that right? Comment are still very much appreciated The next chapters will be back in LS perspective.
Chapter 1: Where your Loyalties LieGAWD. Sorry for the long absence in posts everypony! Besides internet issues and having to move houses. I just didn't have time to write or post anything. I'm trying to get the next chapter up before Sunday, hopefully... Meanwhile Enjoy =========================================================================== Chapter1: Where your Loyalties Lie =========================================================================== The previous day... You pack your small and trusty saddlebag with your worldly possessions. Besides your close memories and your bits, you have nothing else of value to bring with you. You were sick and tired of living in the big city. This sort of life just wasn't meant for you... Since you graduated from the Academy, you went on to play wing ball on a professional level. At first you admired the glitz and glamour of the celebrity life. You were doing what you loved best and got some reputation for doing it. Then came the endorsements, and sponsors. Then the contracts and all the deals. Going on a tour here, travelling for miles there. You often ended up living in Canterlot, leaving your beloved second home Cloudsdale. You would be signing a contract for a club but you hated it. It was like selling your body to them. You were sick and tired of a life in the limelight. So you chose to leave. You made a sudden drop out of the wing ball teams and competitions, nopony saw you for weeks on end. You flew back to Cloudsdale and got busy sipping cider on a lounge chair while enjoying the peace and quiet of your high-rise penthouse. But it wasn't in your nature to just sit back and relax. You had that thirst for adventure and excitement. You wanted to work... What other jobs were there for a Pegasus in Cloudsdale? One day you just woke up and trotted over to the weather department. You were young, twenty years old, single and graduated from the best Pegasus Academy in Equestria... So you worked as a cloud clearing pony. The months went by as you took pride in your work. In strikes you that you never did this earlier. Wing ball was definitely more fun and challenging but now that you think about it, it's much better as a spare time activity than a job. Of course, nopony like you could ever work a job like that and not meet any other such opposites. You always had a bit of tension in you, and some of your colleges never minded some casual sex. You still never forgot the letter back in flight school. You promised not to have any other relationships with a pony until you either saw Rainbow Dash again, or she moves on. Either way, having an old flame find you snuggling in bed with another pony doesn't bode well for your health. It was the same routine every day. You got up at six. Started work at nine. Clear the damn clouds by lunch. Then clock out for the day. The work was never that exciting and the pay was definitely nothing to shout about. The sad depressing routine slowly became repetitive and monotonous. Day in, day out. Every day, you're fussing. On the occasional evening, maybe some nice pony from PR (Pony Resources) offered you a good time in bed. Nothing serious, it was just good for your mental health... that's what she said at least... Somehow, word just got out that you used to play wing ball. Everypony around you started to notice. Ponies would bug you out in the streets. Fans would swarm you for pictures and autographs and the press were like blood sucking parasprites. All the fame and attention also affected your work life. You could say the other ponies in the office got jealous of you. They wanted you to become what you didn't want. Of course you couldn't keep up with it. You've been putting up with it for the last 3 months and it's driving you insane. One night, you took the largest saddlebag you could find and stuffed anything and everything you could take into it You grab you bad and quickly leave your apartment. You avoid taking the elevator and decide to fly out the window down to the ground floor. As you reach it, you toss your penthouse keys and half a month’s rent onto the front desk. You didn't bother catching the puzzled look on the receptionist's face having hundreds of bits land on her workspace. You make a b-line for your office, hoping to avoid any fans along the way. You quickly make it past all your colleagues and quickly get to your manager's office. You knock politely on the door. There's a brief silence, you feel the sweat drops on every inch of your body. A quite but commanding female voice comes from inside. "Come in" You slowly open the door and spot your boss lounging on her swivel chair. She smiles at you and gives you a slight hint of a seductive manner. one night, you both decided to leave work late and she needed somepony to escort her home. Somehow, she couldn't let you go without a reward and a pay raise would have been so much better but you allowed for a more 'satisfactory' reward. "Umm... boss, I really need a huge favour." "Lightning... Can't it wait until this evening?" "Nonono... It's not that. I need to move." "Move? what's wrong with here?" "I need to get away from this place..." You hear that regrettable sad sigh. Most ponies’ you spend time with usually end their time with you with a sigh. Why do you let so many mares down? "Fine. Where do you want to move to?" "I just want any place where there's a position open and the ponies there don’t know shit about Cloudsdale" "There is a position open...here. There's only one cloud clearer there and it looks like she could use as spare pair of wings." "Thanks Twinkle" "I told you no pet names! I am your boss!" "Not anymore" You quickly grab the transfer sheet and high tail it out of the room. As you swoop through the office hundreds of papers fly off in every direction. You didn't care. You just needed to get away from here. You had no time to even check the sheet. In no time you make it to the train station. You try and keep a low profile as to not attract unwanted attention. You avoid all the main roads and flight paths and stick to alleys and small streets. You run up to the ticket booth, slamming your hooves onto the counter. You nearly give the pony on the other side a heart attack but the old stallion quickly recovers from his shock. "Um I need a one way ticket to...-" You look down at the name of the small town- "Ponyville?" "Sure thing, pal" The pony hands you a small white ticket. You pay the necessary bits and head out of the ticketing office. You can already feel the sweltering heat of the late morning sun on your body and quickly head for the appropriate platform. ============================================== 20 minutes later ============================================== You happily enjoy your comfortable ride on the near empty train. Since the station, besides the conductor, nopony had bothered you. You look up at the clock and notice the time. You stare out your window and also spot the station of the small town coming into view. Besides some few shops, houses and a few scattered municipal buildings scattered about, you see nothing but empty undeveloped grassland. Further in the distance you spot a huge apple orchard growing larger by the second. The train comes to an abrupt stop and you quickly disembark. You look around and see nopony on the only platform here. You quickly strap on your saddlebag and take to the skies for a good vantage point. As you fly higher and higher, you spot a floating cloud home in the near distance. The rainbows flowing down from it provide a huge sparkle to the whole thing. You quickly make towards the appealing home in the skies hoping to ask for directions. As you approach, the architecture and nature of the building start to remind you of your old schoolmate Rainbow Dash. The thoughts of your time spent with her start to fill your mind and you slowly wipe a tear forming on your cheek. You make a soft landing on the semi solid cloud, landing with a slight thump. You look to the door and knock politely and quietly on the door. You feel beads of sweat forming on your body as you wait for the pony to answer the door. Inside you can hear the faint sound of hooves loudly making their way to the door. Somepony's had a rough day... The door quickly swings open and you quickly spot the flurry of cyan fur and rainbow mane. After all those years alone, you turn up at a house and have her open up to see you at her front door. Since your school days, she hadn't grown too much but she certainly had matured a bit. Her body was now larger and those curves just looked much more defined. You both stand there in a mixture of amazement and shock, startled to see each other in such spontaneous circumstances. You feel your leg muscles tense up and lock. You want to do something but you just can’t feel it in you. She also stands there with her mouth agape, clearly stunned at seeing you. You can’t help but think of how cute she looks when she’s surprised like that. Eventually, you open your big mouth and utter a quite greeting. "Ummm... Hiya Skittles!" Before you know it, you feel yourself blinded by her actions. She quickly leapt off her hooves and jumped onto you. You quickly lose balance and fall over onto the cloud ground, crushed by the cyan pony smothering you in hugs and kisses. You don't resist and quickly return the gestures. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME!??!" "umm... Missed you too Rainbow Dash" You feel quickly overwhelmed by her body, gently but teasingly rubbing against you. You quickly try to hide your arousal but you are quickly spotted by Rainbow Dash. "God, Lightning. Only what? 3 minutes after seeing my and you want to fuck me?" "You're laying on top of me Dashie" She slowly gets off and pulls you back onto all four. You both stand there in an awkward silence avoiding eye contact but both giggling at the reunion between you two. You look at Rainbow dead in the eyes and strike up conversation. "Actually, I'm here to look for the weather manager for Ponyville..." "You're looking right at her!" You stare at her, she jumps into a pumped up pose and smiles delightfully at you. It quickly hits you that you're new boss was standing right in front of you. Her face also quickly changes when she thinks about your question. "wait... are you the new po-" "Pony in town? yeah..." "OHH MY GAWD! I'm our boss and you're my slave!" "WHOAH! I'm an employee" "Sure... Anyway, were going to have so much fun..." She quickly leads you by the hoof and drags you inside the house. You try and say something but you are quickly stopped. You're mouth it covered by a hoof and she quickly slams the door shut. She looks at you with a seductive look and lies down on her couch provocatively. "Can we fuck now and talk later lightning...?" "Are you sure about that Rainbow... I mean we just met each other after what? 4, 5 years? Maybe we could just-" You feel a strong grip pull you down onto the couch. You fall beside Rainbow Dash, in a very compromising position. "Now lick..." "Come again?" "You heard me..." Celestia save me... ================================================================================ You both lay panting on the sofa, limbs intertwined and covered in sweat. After your "workout" with Rainbow Dash, you both feel the energy sucked out of you and lay motionless where you lie. Between pants, you hear her put together a barely coherent sentence. "Ohhh damn... I missed having that feeling of you in me." "Yeah, and I forgot just how tight you were compared to those other ponies." "Wait what?" "I mean, not that they compared to you!" You just realised how much you screwed up and quickly get up from your seat. You start to feel the churning sensation within your stomach and try your best to handle the situation. "How many ponies have you been sleeping with?" "A few... Hey I'm entitled to a sexual life you know. It's not like I had any more relationships!" "Yeah... I'm sure that’s what you told them as you made love to them!" "Come on Rainbow! Some ponies just need to let out a little stress once in a while. Ok?" "Oh and you think I've been going around, screwing random ponies, huh?" "I still love you Dashie!" "Forget it. I don't want to see you anymore!" She quickly gets up and flies out the window. You quickly try to catch up to her but she turns around and you and growls ferociously. You back down and let leave the room. You collapse back into her sofa and pummel your frustration into the cloud furniture. You think to yourself why you had to be such an idiot. You decide to pick your sorry ass off the sofa and look for the mare you just upset. You quickly get off and fly out the door, promptly making your way out to the town of Ponyville. As you gracefully take to the skies, you start to contemplate what Rainbow Dash really said to you. Maybe she had really been waiting all this time for me... You start to feel the anger inside you fill up as you realise how long she had been waiting, alone and without company. For all these years, she had never dated anypony else. You start to realise just how loyal your Dashie was to you and you let that slip out of your mind. You hastily spot that bakery you passed on the way into town. You make out the sign and easily distinguish it from the other buildings around it. Sugarcube Corner You trot on in and find the foyer filled with a few ponies, all huddled together, chatting in a group. You notice the four of them, a bright pink earth pony with the bubbly mane, and a cute little purple unicorn with very a straightened mane. There's also a very stylish ghost white pony with mane styled in an artistic fashion. Then there was the other pony. The hot looking Earth pony who was sporting a large Stetson hat and leaning back against the counter. You closely examine her slender but fit body, ranking very closely to Rainbow's. Her coat was a deep orange and with the mane to compliment it. You're gaze slowly moves down her body from chest to waist and further down... "Ar yah quite done oogling me partner?" Your eyes quickly refocus back to the whole group who have now turned to face you. They quickly break their ranks and circle around you. The purple unicorn steps forward and introduces herself first. "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle; I'm the librarian here and student of Princess Celestia herself!" Before you can speak, the second, white unicorn quickly interjects. "And my names Rarity Darling... My. What's a handsome new pony like you doing in this town? Once again, you open your mouth to speak but a quick flash of pink quickly pushes you to the ground. You realise it to be the pink pony, who just tumbled right on top of you. "OHMYGODYOURETHENEWPONYINTOWNTHISISSOOCOOLINEEDTOHOSTAWELCOMEPARTYFORYOUANDEVERYPONYWILLBETHEREANDYOUNEEDTOBETHEREOHANDIMPINKIEPIEBYTHEWAY!" You only barely manage to catch the last bit. if your hearing was sound, then she was called Pinkie pie. You start to shuffle uneasily under the weight of the pony on top of you. She was sitting right on top of your groin and you were desperate to get her off before anything unwanted appears on scene. "Pinkie could you kindly get off me please?" "OK, since you said please!" She promptly hops off your nether regions and takes place near the group of friends. You start to stir in your spot and smile blankly at the group. You expect another introduction but looking past the herd, the orange Earth pony stares at you, partly disgruntled and only reply quietly. "Ah'm Apple Jack, if you head over to Sweet Apple Acres, you'll probably catch me round there." "Thank you all, I'm the New pony in town. My name's Lightning Strike and I was wondering if you had seen a cyan pony with a rainbow mane around?" Pinkie loudly replies. "You mean Dashie?" "ummm... Yeah. I really need to find her-" "Hold it a second there, bub. Don't you get up to anything with Dashie!" "What?" Rarity politely steps in. "Yes darling... Rainbow Dash had already met somepony back in flight school and the last thing she needs right now is another follower, chatting her up." "Actually, girls... I’m-" "There's no place for you in the game of love right now." "No! I'm the pony she loved during flight school. We used to be together, before she left..." "Oh, Lightning, I'm so sorry" "That's fine Twilight... but I just met her earlier, and we kinda got up to something before i may have blurted out that I also had sex with other ponies." "WHAT?!? How could you say that to poor Dashie?" "Yeah, i know but-" "She's like the Element of Loyalty, She would stand by you no matter what and you go off mating with other ponies!" "Damnit I'm sorry OK? But I really need to tell her I'm sorry, I guess I just needed some stress relief and couldn’t get it." You drop your head in apology and depression. You feel a hoof against your shoulder and look up to see AppleJack, smiling kindly at you. You feel a strong sense of kindness form and quickly return the smile. "Here yah go sugarcube. Just give her this and say sorry, Rainbow May be stubborn but she’s quick to apologise." The group hand you a wrapped present and a bouquet of flowers. You quickly thank them and fly and quickly as you can to look for your Dashie. You decide the best place to apologise was at her huge house and make for there. ============================================================================ You open the front door where you are greeted with your previous... mess with Rainbow Dash. You can’t help but chuckle slightly at the sight but quickly return your attention to the rest of the room. You quietly creep inside and slowly climb up the huge spiralling staircase. "Hello? Skittles?" No response. You continue down her huge corridor and push a door which you think leads to her bedroom. You push it open slowly and head inside the pitch black room. You make your way in slowly before hearing somepony move in the shadow. Before you can react you feel a sharp stinging pain in the back of your head as a hoof collides with it. You collapse onto the ground falling unconscious instantly. Oww... You regain your senses and quickly examine your surroundings; surprisingly you're on a comfy king sized double bed. You try and reach for something but your hooves are bounded by a rope. You start to feel a sense of panic engulf you as you suddenly realise the situation you are in. "Hello Lightning..." "Dashie, please I want to say sorry" "It seems you forgot where your loyalties lie. And if you haven't heard... I'm the element of Loyalty. I guess I just have to teach you a lesson..." =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You start your new job with your boss and lover. =========================================================================== Rate Kindly! And always, Comments are always helpful. I love feedback. Apologies if anybody doesn’t get the story or if it feels a little shaky at the moment. It's gonna get there soon enough.
Chapter 2: Somepony like youHUUUGE APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG ABSENCE IN POSTS I've been caught up in a sea of work and procrastination when it comes to writing. I hope I can get these chapters up at least once a week but apologies in advance if they don't. I'm not promising anything. Enjoy! =========================================================================== Chapter 2: Somepony like you =========================================================================== You quietly stir in your spent state of euphoria; having spent the entire previous evening passionately getting "reacquainted" with Rainbow Dash. You slowly pry your shut eyelids open and take a peek into the world. You find yourself lying where you stopped yesterday, on Dashie's massive cloud bed. Although the large size allowed for you both to have enough space, you still find her cuddled up beside you, snoring peacefully in her sleep. Her tangled rainbow hair had been ruffled both from her sleep and "workout" last night. You try and get up but quickly realise one of your hooves had been trapped under her body. You attempt to gently slide it out from under her but the motion causes her to reach out for you and pull you in. Even in a sleeping state, she still finds the strength to pull you tightly against her. You decide to struggle and reassume your position beside her. You turn to face your still sleeping marefriend and peck her lightly on the cheek. She shuffles slightly, giving you a better position to move about. Eventually, you remember you actually have a job to do and quickly set about to wake her up. "Hey... umm... Dashie? Wake up..." She slowly rolls over to one side and replies flatly. "Gnhghn... Can't it wait? I'm enjoying my beauty sleep..." "My boss would probably expect me at work soon..." "Nah, she’s cool with it" You fume slightly at your failure to get her off of you and out of bed. You try a different tactic this time. "I'm pretty sure the townsfolk need the weather today" "Meh, nopony's gonna miss the morning shower" You stress your tone more harshly and put on your 'I mean business' face. "Dashieeeeee" You hear a disappointing sigh as Rainbow Dash slowly crept out of bed. On this rare occasion, she decides to walk rather than use those powerful wings of hers. Instinctively, she drags you along behind her to the huge bathroom connected to the bedroom. "Damn Rainbow... Your bathroom's way bigger than the one back in our school days." "Yeah, I know it's awesome, but I preferred it when the space was smaller- that way we really had to be more... flexible ." You take notice as she particularly emphasises the last part. Inside your head you laugh about the arousing and in fact, erotic moments you've had in the shower. You can't stop your stupid wings from acting on instinct- and they quickly reveal their full glory to Rainbow Dash. "Wow lightning and I thought I was a horny pony." "Shut up. At least I restrain myself." "No, that was me remember?" Your mind quickly switches back to the memory of last night. It was less than 12 hours ago but you still feel the terror rush over your spine. You never knew just how dominant Dashie could be until that point and although that experience was humiliating and embarrassing, you still feel the slightest sense of excitement and enjoyment out of it. "Hehe..." You feel a sharp jolt push you into the spacious cubicle. Your face almost smashes against the rainbow assortment of mosaic tiles on the wall. You try not to think about how tile stick to cloud walls but instead enjoy the blissfully warm water, cascading over your sore body. You stretch out your wings, hungry to get in on that cleansing action. How the hell does she even afford these things??? Before long, you feel a dainty pair of hooves placed on your shoulder. You let out a low purr as they move slowly to the base of your aching wings and begin you teasingly massage them. That same rush of adrenaline you felt years ago comes back to you, hungry for more. "Well... since you were such a good colt last night, I guess you deserve a reward." "Gee, you’re sooo thoughtful Rainbow" You try to pull that sentence in the most sarcastic tone possible but you get a feather yanked out your wing for your effort. "OWW, I’m sorry ok" "Hmmf. That's better" You return back to the blissful massage being given to your now fully erect wings. You feel the gentle and soothing effect of her special pegasi shampoo, lathering your back. You shuffle over slightly to get into a comfortable position. In a short space of time, you feel the build-up of pleasure in your wings, the excitement and sheer ecstasy, unable to be contained anymore. You think Rainbow Dash sensed the peak and quickly rubs deeper into the base of your wings. You can’t take it any longer, crying out in a blaze of passion. You feel the pleasure rush over your whole body, stealing the breath away from you. You take a moment to recompose yourself, gasping for breath. Your wings hang limply as they do when you get a wingasm. You don’t try to lift them as you know it would be impossible to get them working for at least ten minutes. They barely touch the cold shower floor, still covered in suds and still very much wet. You get back on all fours and turn to face a very satisfied Rainbow Dash. You stare into the deep, burgundy red eyes and remember the same Pegasus you fell in love with ages ago. In a spontaneous act of passion you quickly step forward and lean in against her. You press your lips against hers, eager to repay her for the act of goodwill. You take the offensive, pressing your tongue into her mouth. You feel them brushing against her teeth, and very quickly find an opening. You both stand there, under the reuniting embrace of the shower, locked in a heat of passion. After what seems to be lifetime, she ends the kiss, pulling off but not before biting our tongue; just enough for you to notice. She turns around, leaning against the opposite side of the shower. She calls out to you in a sultry voice. "Ok, your turn." You stare blankly at first, still trying to comprehend her intentions. You could just leap onto her right now and do her on the spot. But you restrain yourself from doing so. Instead, you relax your fore hooves and gently place them on Rainbow Dash's back, just under her shoulders. You've done this enough times to know where she likes it and instantly know you will make short work of this task... ========================================================================== You both emerge out of the shower, still dripping wet and now very much cold. Neither of you bothered to take in any towels with you to the bathroom and you two are now forced to make a lengthy journey to fetch one. You hear a slight chatter of teeth as you walk and notice Rainbow Dash beside you, shivering but still able to put on a pathetic smile. When she spots your sympathetic face, she quickly moves beside you and slips under one of your wings. You stretch out your right wing to give space for Dashie and quickly wrap her tightly beside you. Her head pops out from the front and kisses you gently on the cheek. You feel your face instantly warm up even after her lips were no longer touching you. "Thanks Lightning." You feel her still drenched, soaking body, shuffling under your wing. The feeling of wet fur and feathers is slightly off putting but you also feel the warm glow of her body, giving out much of her body heat. You feel her wrap her hooves around your right leg, restricting your movements. You can imagine the sight of a little cyan blue Pegasus wrapped around the leg of a stallion, and gush at the thought. "Dashie... You're making it really hard for me to walk." "But you're soo warm!" You sigh deeply and continue making your way towards her chest of drawers. You quickly pull open the middle drawer and dig out two large, fluffy white towels. Inside your head, you are slightly surprised she has something that isn't multicoloured. You take one of the towels, wrapping it around yourself and pass the other one to Rainbow Dash. In no time at all, she emerges from under your wing and is wrapped from head to toe in the white cotton. Only a small slit in the towel allows you to spot Rainbow Dash's eyes with her mane protruding out. You dry your fur off with ease and watch amusingly as Rainbow Dash is still just wrapped inside hers like a robe. You begin to wonder how Rainbow Dash even lives alone, thinking if she still remembered any cooking lessons you gave her back in school. "Umm Dashie? Are you actually going to dry yourself anytime soon?" "Nah, I'm just enjoying the show in front of me. A handsome, young stallion that just emerged out of the shower and was just drying himself off, exposing his full glory in front of me." It only just hit you what she had been doing for the last three minutes. While you were thinking why she was just sitting there, you were giving her a show. You blush slightly at what she just said to you and quickly start to towel her off as well. She sits patiently as you fruitlessly try to dry her mane off. In the end, you eventually got it mostly dry and with the added bonus of it keeping its natural spunky look. She wraps her hooves around your shoulders and kisses you on the lips. Her warm hug traps you inside, not letting you move anywhere, momentarily. "You know, most of the time I just do a Rainbow Dash 'Air Dry' outside." "Yeah, but don't tell me you didn't enjoy that." "You're right, it was more fun." Your short conversation is quickly interrupted by your growling stomach. A deep grumble emanates from your belly, signifying your demand for food. "Somepony's hungry..." "Yeah, but if I remember, you can’t cook for shit." "I guess that means you're cooking today!" =================================================================== You quickly whip up some blueberry waffles drenched in a sticky assortment of sautéed berries. You're astounded at the variety of ingredients Rainbow Dash keeps at home for a pony who hardly cooks, and when she does; often ends up burning her cereal. Both of you mouth down your lavish meal and are now lazily ling back, enjoying the serenity of the moment. You sit opposite Rainbow Dash, facing her head on and meeting her gaze. Her eyes light up straight away, also bringing her ears up to attention. You give a barely noticeable smile and she replies with a huge grin plastered across her face. You always make me smile Skittles... Her expression changes to one of curiosity. She tilts her head and leans back in her seat. You prepare yourself for a question and answer session, slightly leaning forward in your chair. You stare blankly towards Rainbow Dash who seems to be now preparing herself to ask you. She tongue sticks out ever so slightly, licking the sides of her lips. She brushes her fur lightly and makes eye contact with you. "So... Umm, Lightning... What have you been doing this whole time?" The question takes you by surprise. You take a small breath and try to find a way to fit your life story into one conversation. You shuffle uncomfortably in your seat and lean your hooves on the table. They make an audible clop on the hardwood surface; you clear your throat and mumble in an exhausted, drawn out tone. "Yeeeaaah... Kind of a long story." A disapproving frown creeps up on her face. She leans back into her chair and crosses her hooves across her chest. You've clearly annoyed her and are now trying to find a way to make it up to her. She replies in a very flat tone. "The only ponies who say 'it's a long story' are just lazy asses who can’t tell a good story for shit anyway..." "Fine then! I'll tell you what I’ve been doing!" "Other ponies?" "Besides that!" She quickly bursts into a fit of laughter, nearly falling off her chair. You feel the blood rush to your head and quickly realise you're now standing up with your hooves slammed on the table. You quickly take your seat again and continue with your story. "Well... I guess after you left, I carried on for the next 2 years. I graduated with distinction and then got a place in the Cloudsdale Wingball team." "Of course you would wouldn't you..." "Can I continue?" You take her silence and beady stare as the signal to continue. "But I guess I hated all the attention and glamour. It just wasn't for me. You couldn't even take a step out your own home without being swarmed by those blood sucking parasitic news reporters! Anyway, I don't think those late night parties and binge drinking was exactly healthy for my health... I mean, have you seen the way the Wonderbolts throw a party. It's like super awesome an-" A blur of cyan and rainbow cross your vision "YOU PARTIED WITH THE WONDERBOLTS!?!??" "Yeah... You should have seen Soarin; he sure can't take his cider. He's usually out by round three!" You wipe the tear of laughter now forming on your eye. You look back at Rainbow and spot her eyes in shock. Her mouth is hanging agape almost allowing her to drool on the dining table. She snaps back into reality once she notices you staring at her. Her mood quickly turns to one of annoyance and envy. "Gee, I bet you really loved it with them huh?" You heart quickly sinks back again when you actually recall those nights out with the Wonderbolts. In truth you really didn't enjoy much of the time spent in their company. Every moment you spent around them constantly remind you of Rainbow Dash, one again, opening holes in your heart. "Actually Dashie... It wasn't as awesome as you thought it was. Because every second I was around them, I kept thinking about you." You feel a weight drop on in your chest and quickly feel small tears form from your eyes. You sigh deeply and lean your head on the table, drooping into a saddening state of nostalgia. Jeez, since when was I such an emotional, lovesick colt You suddenly feel a set of hooves wrap around your body. You feel a warm heartbeat against you side, beating to a soothing rhythm. You lift your head off the table and turn to face Rainbow Dash who was now pressing her face against yours. You instantly feel her warm cheeks against your cold face and can smell her zesty berry breath. You both stay in that position for a good long minute in silence. You pat her lightly on the shoulder, signalling her to let go. She lightly pecks you on the cheek and ruffles your mane slightly. "That's so sweet of you lightning" You put on a very embarrassing smile, desperately trying to hide your rosy cheeks. You clear your throat once again and proceed with your story. "Soo... As I was saying. I just dropped out of Wingball; Also because there wasn't really any competition. I thought I would give some other ponies a chance." "Keep on dreaming Lightning..." "So I told myself, I just want a normal job for a normal Pegasus." "You became a weather pony?" "Meh, it seemed easy enough. Remember what we learned in Flight school? The job was pips but the pay was crap. It kinda got a bit monotonous." "Whoa slow down there kiddo. Easy with the big words." "Oh right, I forgot how stupid you were!" You instantly feel a sharp whack slam across your face. The entire moment was a blur to you as you almost fall back off your chair. You quickly regain your senses of your surroundings and pull yourself back up. Ouch... You run a hoof across your face, feeling a strong burning sting spread across your cheek. You only imagine how red your face looks right now, more from the pain rather than the embarrassment. You give a weak submissive smile and return to your seat. "Come on Lightning, I thought you learned a long time ago not to fuck around with me?" "Did I? I didn't remember you being so... Possessive." "I'm not possessive-I just have an image to uphold." You ignore her blatant lies and return to your nostalgic tales. "...As I was saying... I took up a cloud clearing position back in Cloudsdale. You know, day in day out. 9 to 5 job. But the sad thing Dashie, is that- you never really get away from your past." "Really Lightning!? I got away from my past and it never came back to haunt me!" "Umm Dashie? I'm right here. 3 years on" You wave your hooves in front on Rainbow Dash in a futile attempt to get the cog clicking in her brain. She finally gets where you're getting at and proceeds to slam her head into the table. "So... Am I haunting you now?" You stand up and proceed to perform the worst ghost imitation a pony could ever do. You only barely stand taller than Rainbow and in response; she gives you a very unimpressed look. "You want me to leave you again?" With a nervous sweat down your neck you take your seat. "So yeah. I couldn't even work outdoors when fans were out to get me. I was considered useless in the field by my boss is I couldn't work for 5 minutes uninterrupted so they stuck me in a desk job." "How do you do desk job for weather pony?" "Dashie have you even been filling out those weather reports that are meant to be sent to cloudsdale?" "I thought those were suggestion sheets... I was wondering why they were sending me so many..." Her sudden look of confusion on Rainbow Dash's face causes you break out into laughter. You can only imagine the scene of Rainbow Dash chucking the load of papers into the shredder every week. "I'm surprised you weren't fired years ago Dashie..." DAWWWWW. She's giving the most innocent smile ever. You feel your heart melt as she stares at you with such an adorable face. You can't help it- You quickly give her a big hug before she lightly punches you on the shoulder. "That's when I decided to leave! I just packed my bags up and demanded a transfer. I asked for the most remote and smallest town where nopony could have possibly heard about me- so they sent me to Ponyville." "That's your amazing story... meh, could have been twenty percent cooler." JABAHWAHAHAH???!! I thought that was a pretty good story... You quickly look back on your previous three years of life before casually eyeing Rainbow Dash. You picture her in your spot, performing with the Wonderbolts. You can't help but feel happy for her if she did that but you also fear what she would become. Would she forget you? Will she forget all her friends in Ponyville? You tap Rainbow Dash on the side gently and speak to her in a quiet but concerned tone. "I don't know how much you still want to be a Wonderbolt Dashie; and I’m never going to stop you from doing what you want to do the most but just promise me one thing. When you're rich and famous, just never forget who you are. Don't ever lose sight of what you are. OK?" She gives you a real thoughtful stare before quickly falling into you in a limp heap. You feel her warm radiating heartbeat even through both your coats of fur. You pick her up and place her on your lap, gently nibbling on her ears as they try to evade your movements. She giggles in her fan girlish tone before trying to push your head away. "Lightning, stop it!" "Promise me that Dashie.... Pweease?" "Are you forgetting that I’m the element of loyalty here?" "Just do it... for me." "FINE. I pinkie pie promise" Dafuq that means... She proceeds to dancing around and waving her hooves in the air before stabbing herself in the eye. It still amazes you how the female mystique has yet to be deciphered by anypony. You look to the clock hanging in the kitchen and suddenly realised that you've nearly wasted the best part of the morning talking about old tales and memories. "Dashie, don't you have some work you need to do?" She quickly lifts herself into the air, ready to take on the rest of the world. She turns to you and stares at your with squinted eyes; like a beast eyeing its prey. "Don't you mean some work we need to do?" Before you can respond, she quickly pulls you off the ground and heads towards the window. By the feeling of air passing by your ears you deduce that you both are travelling at quite a speed. You start to get anxious when you realise the front door is getting further away and out of you sight. "DASHIE!!! The door is that way!" You barely manage to lift a hoof and point due to the g-force on your body. You decide not to resist and only accept your fate. "I know Lightning but the window is way faster. Plus, you always said a little morning exercise was good for your wings!" "YEAH BU-" You quickly feel her hooves let go of your lightweight body. You watch as you see her smug face in front of you, floating outside the window. You watch as her and her floating cloud home get smaller and further into the distance. The cold air rushing past your motionless wings remind you of your current situation. She just threw you out of her house. You turn around and watch as the ground slowly grow larger in your field of vision. In your state of shock, you forget all your essential flight training and work hopelessly to gain some lift. You think to yourself, what a way to die; Being thrown out of a window by your childhood friend and having her watch you demise.

Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job =========================================================================== Chapter 3: The New Pony on the Job =========================================================================== You turn around and watch as the ground slowly grows larger in your field of vision. In your state of shock, you forget all your essential flight training and work hopelessly to gain some lift. You think to yourself, what a way to die; Being thrown out of a window by your childhood friend and having her watch you sad demise. "YOU BITCH RAINBOW DAS-" You feel a bone crunching smash against your chest as your body impacts a hard surface. You feel the blood rush to your head as you continue to accelerate, increasingly unable to move your body as a result of the g forces on your frail body. You feel your heart skip a beat and even a stinging pain in your lower chest. If you remembered correctly, you did hear a faint *crack* earlier. Yup. Definitely broke a rib or two It occurs to you that you had never collided with an object or the ground but in fact, something had crashed into you. You use all the energy in your body to counter the strong winds pushing your head down and tilt it slightly back. You watch as the forests and grasslands beneath you pass at great speeds. Either your eyeballs were messed up or you were traveling at supersonic speeds. You hear a tremendous *boom*, forcing your head back further into the object that had previously collided with you. You manage to take a peek into the sky behind you; the lack of super-sonic wind speeds allows you easily focus on the scenery behind you. A glorious spectacle of colours light and trail behind you, lighting up the bright sky. The entire spectrum of the rainbow emanates through the gentle air. You quickly think back to your "flight physics" lesson and remember being told that the requirements for a sonic rainboom meant that it was marginally impossible for anypony to pull it of. Sure enough, Rainbow Dash was quick to disprove their claim. You two would spends days and weeks seeing if Rainbow Dash could actually repeat her so called "miracle". A few sprains and bruises later, you had to comfort Rainbow Dash, who was beating herself up for not being able to do it. Something inside you was telling you that Rainbow Dash was more upset at not showing you rather than not being able to do it. You made a promise to her on that day that you did believe her and that you would just wait another time to see it. The sharp pain in your chest returns your nostalgic daydream back to Equestria. You let out a small laugh of appreciation knowing that you've finally seen a sonic rainboom. After what seems like an eternity of being crushed against a soft, furry pillow, you feel your airspeed start to drop. You continue to bury your head into the fur coated heap; wishing not to see what comes next. Before you know it, you're back on solid ground. You place a hoof on the grass just to double check your suspicions The chirping of the birds and little woodland creatures going about their daily business reinforces what you now know as true. "Hey Lightning; You can let go now" You look up at the sound of the voice and only stare in amazement as you spot Rainbow Dash, looking down smugly at you. You look down where your hooves had been clenching so tight for the last minute and realize you had been gripping Rainbow Dash in a very tight manner. "You wuss, get off" She speaks through tired breaths and between deep, sexy panting. "Oh right..." You hastily let go of the cyan mare and tumble onto the carpet-like grass. You look back up and watch the dark silhouette of a pony across your field of vision. You knew nopony could perform such an impossible feat; but you always knew if anypony would , it would be your Dashie. You lay a hoof across your chest and record your heartbeat. You can’t even count the beats of your racing heart and settle with the figure "too high". "You finally showed me didn't you Dashie?" "Zzzzz..." Before you can respond, the huge figure in front of you promptly collapses on top of your chest. Pinning you down onto the ground. You lift your head slowly and notice as Rainbow Dash's body lies motionless across you. Her head balances ever so delicately on your diaphragm rising and falling rhythmically with your lung expansion. You squirm underneath her weight as her tongue falls out of her mouth, lying on your fur. You can feel the stickiness of her sweaty fur, rubbing onto your body. Looking into her eyes, you realize she’s in a semi-conscious state of tiredness. She attempts to mumble something incomprehensible but instead ends up leaving a huge puddle of drool on you. You shuffle slightly beneath her, in a fruitless attempt to get into a comfortable position. You eventually give up and leaned against the tree trunk behind you. ====================================================================== You let 5 minutes pass without much event, albeit the occasional flutter of birds in the sky. You reluctantly push Rainbow Dash off your aching body to the side. You hope that you're able to move her in such a way as to not startle her. You carefully lift your hooves from under her tight grip and slowly wriggle your way from underneath her. Without so much as a mumble from her, you continue to lift her body and flip it over to allow her to wake up facing the sky. You move ever so quietly around her, hoping not to rouse her in her deep slumber. You can only wonder how a pony like herself could go to sleep at a time like this. Looking back at the deep blue sky, pausing for a brief moment. You do actually agree that today would be a nice day to nap under a tree. Sadly, in your moment of awe, you lose concentration. Your lapse in focus causes you to mess up. You trip over, landing face first onto her chest. She quickly reacts with... Lightning speed. You have no time to react, watching helplessly as the events unfold in front of you. She opens her eyes in a flash, promptly proceeding to react with natural reflexes. Unfortunately for your anatomy, one of those reflexes inevitably leading to her, kneeing you hard in the sensitive regions. *WHAP* BAAA-SSSSHHIIITT. LORD CELESTIA. HAVE YOU NO MERCY ON ME. You fall onto the soft ground, nursing your aching gentlecolts region. You try to hold back a tear as the burning pain spreads across your groin. "Shit, Lightning! You shouldn't scare me like that!" You look up and spot a startled Rainbow Dash, wondering what had just happened. Her wings are spread out, revealing her full wingspan. You only now realize just how much she had grown and matured since flight school. Although, you weren't exactly in the best situation to be admiring a mares wings. "JEEZ DASHIE. did you have to kick me so hard?!?" Although you can see some sympathy in her face, she is clearly enjoying watching you in pain. "Don't be such a foal Lightning. I'm sure you're still able to have kids someday..." You push the last thought out of your mind and return your attention to the former that was said. "Forget being a Stallion! This FUCKING hurts!" You pause abruptly in your tracks. You look back at Rainbow Dash, who was now advancing on your position. You look closer at her face and spot that noticeable, lustful look in her eyes. You back up quickly, only to be stopped by a tree. She quickly pushes you back against it, causing you to crumble where you stood. "AWWW! Poor Lightning. Let me fix that for you..." ======================================================================== Some time later... Long enough later ======================================================================== Both you and Rainbow are now in the sky; Working diligently at moving some clouds over Ponyville for the late morning showers. You turn back and watch as Rainbow Dash manouvres a cloud into position with ease. No rookie could manipulate the weather that easily. Then again, Rainbow Dash was no rookie. She spots your watchful gaze, and looking back in equal curiosity. You spot a small grin grow on her face and you swear she just winked at you. You quickly turn back and focus on moving these clouds, now ready to burst with rain. You knew that feeling. It takes a special pony to "release the load" that's been building up for so long. You feel a prodding on your back and quickly pull your mind out of the gutter and back to Equestria. You look around and stare at the clouds now ready to rain. The same prodding sensation hits you again and you quickly turn around, almost hitting Rainbow Dash who had been behind you in the process. "Quit daydreaming Lightning. Let's get this show on the road already!" "WHAT?!? Me? Lazing around? you've clearly never seen your own daily routine before." "Hey, watch it pal. I still got a 2 good legs to kick you with." You instinctively move to defend your precious organs but stop halfway after spotting Rainbow Dash's face. She signals you to move away before kicking the nearest cloud, setting off a chain reaction, quickly covering the town with a good downpour. In a few hours, the clouds would dissipate by themselves; And without any further weather scheduled for Ponyville, you call it a day. Lying on a cloud high above the skies, you take a moment to relax and nurture your worn out wings. You lie quietly on you back, enjoying the serenity of the scene. Given the warm day, you could just fall asleep on the spot. You yawn deeply, shutting your eyes for a brief second. When they do reopen, you find a very excited looking Rainbow Dash, perched just on to of you. Her hooves are digging into your chest, causing you to exhale slightly. You try and return to your forty winks but the sudden feeling of her entire wight on you quickly forces you back into the real world. "Is there something you need Dashie?" She leans her head closer to your neck, wrapping her hooves around you at the same moment. You feel your muscles clench slightly at the feeling but you quickly relax them, already very much used to this treatment. "Come on Lightning! It's like... Barely past one o'clock. Let's go do something cool!" Besides wanting to ask what could be considered cool, you can't be bothered to get off this soft, cushion of condensed water vapour. You let out an apathetic grunt, signalling your unwillingness to move. You feel her get up of your body. Opening a single eyelid, you carefully watch her next move; wary of her unpredictable intentions. In a flash, she suddenly grabs your hooves, pinning them to the cloud. For a pony with pretty fast reflexes, you're surprised you never had a second to react. Now, with both your hooves out of your use and Rainbow Dash, suggestively grinding against your body. you cry out in shock and plea. "What the hell Rainbow Dash!?!?" she seems undeterred by your comments, leaning in towards your face. Before long, you stop her advance with a deep kiss. Happy with your response, she leans in further, clearly enjoying the romantic moment. You can't imagine the last time you made out with anypony on a cloud; You let your thoughts drift away to the back of your mind while you savor the thrill of the moment. By now she has given up on holding you against your will. You break your hooves free from her now weak grasp, now placing them around her. You feel as her wings unfold, clearly turned on by the experience. By now, more than your wings were ready for action but you resisted the beast inside of you to just mount her now. Instead, you quickly break the kiss; Parting your mouth from hers before sitting up properly on the cloud. "AWWW... I was just starting to have some fun Lightning..." You lightly brush off your wings and fur, before pulling Rainbow Dash closer to you and kissing her lightly on the side of her snout. She giggles lightly before pushing you away from her. You take a peek over the edge of your cloud and nod satisfyingly at the fact nopony was around to see the lone cloud in the sky, erratically bobbing about in the sky. You look back at Rainbow Dash. She tilts her head in reply, hoping you would ask the first question. You honour her wishes and ask what she wants to do for the rest of the day. "I don't know! I don't think that far ahead but we could like... you know? Just chill in Ponyville." you try your best to look interested in her ideas, hoping that this wouldn't lead onto some grand adventure. you quickly return your attention to her as she shakes you frantically; Clearly excited to tell you something "I Know! I know! You can meet all my friends while we're in town!" "You mean AppleJack, Twillight, Rarity and what was her name again? Kinky Pie?" She facehoofs instantly, annoyed that you remembered one of her friends in such a manner. "PINKIE PIE." "Right... Right... I knew that." You lean over the edge of your cloud, hugging the soft, fluffy material. You take a look at Ponyville in the near distance and wonder just how exiting this place could be. Your thoughts are quickly interrupted by a growling noise, coming from your belly. Accompanying the grumbling was a deep throbbing pain from it. You're hungry and you wanted food now. "Hey, Dashie?" "That's my name!" You look at her, happily twiddling her hooves behind you, still excited and content with her intimate moment with you. You feel warm and happy when you see Rainbow Dash happy like that. Though you envy her carefree and easy life; you still love her active and spunky personality. "Could we get something to eat in town?" "Yeah! There's soooooo many places we could eat. We could go to Sugarcube Corner or the fancy restaurant-" "How about something less... grand?" "OH OK! there's this new cafe that just opened. I heard they have amazing food! Oh and there's this nice part outside to eat and-" "OK OK! we'll eat there then..." You and Rainbow Dash quickly hop off the cloud; as you do so, it rapidly poofs away into the atmosphere. You make a b-line for Ponyville with Rainbow Dash in hot pursuit. You both know who the best flier in Equestria is. Depending on how you rate "Best". Rainbow Dash certainly wins in a all out sprint, but when it comes to some real flying action, you're pretty sure you have the edge over her. You look back, hoping to see Rainbow Dash far behind you. You turn your head just enough to look back but still keeping your aerodynamic shape. You spot her, trailing behind. You feel your heart jump knowing that you, for once have the lead. Barely. You look back again, this time focusing on that grin on her face. That mischievous grin, plastered on her face. She wasn't even trying and she knew it. You wonder why she would lead you on like that, but you weren't having any of that. You slowed down just a pace, keeping a pony's distance in front of her. You once again turn to face Rainbow Dash. You can tell she's enjoying this feeling; the feeling one gets when they have somepony else in a false sense of security. She calls out to you between breaths. "Wow Lightning, you really want to beat me this time don't ya?" You keep a calm expression on your face, trying to maintain your oblivious look. "Hey Rainbow? New rule... Last pony there is paying for lunch." "I'm cool with that. Just be ready to get your bits out..." She chuckles deviously at your challenge. That mare is full of spunk and isn't scare of taking on the world. Without second thought, You quickly put all your remaining energy into flapping those wings, flying straight for Ponyville. You hear Rainbow Dash's breath behind you, slowly creeping closer. You push yourself to the limit, throwing everything you have left into your wings. You wonder, just why you do these things to yourself. It was no surprise that on average, pegasi live shorter lives than any other pony. You put those thoughts to the back of your mind and focus on your flight. In your short daydream, you've managed to steer off course by a few degrees. A rookie's mistake that is sure to cost you some valuable time. Within half a minute, you spot Ponyville town-center. You can see all the townsfolk minding their daily business, shopping, working and enjoying themselves. You brace yourself, not wanting to make a crash landing in the crowded street. The sight of the finish line is already starting to make your wings cramp up. You pull up slightly to slow yourself down and touch down gently in front of the row of shop houses. You look around you and see no rainbow maned pony in sight. You jump in glee and let out a weak cheer. Another beat over Rainbow Dash. Another rare occasion to log on the scoreboard. You feel ready to enjoy your win over a hot lunch... "Hey Lightning! I win. You're buying!" You turn around and look for the source of the voice. It was impossible. She couldn't have beaten you to the cafe. You got to the town first. You let out a disappointing sigh. "Screw you Rainbow! Can't I win for once?" "Well... you should've know where we were eating... You never learn, do you Lightning?" You sit sourly in your seat, pouting like foal. You and Rainbow soon order your food and patiently wait. You still feel sore about losing. It wasn't anything like you; You were never a sore loser, but maybe it was because you rarely lost... "Come on Lightning... Cheer up! It was just a race." You turn your head up and spot Rainbow Dash, sitting happily on her chair. You spot the beads of sweat on her fur. At a closer glance, you realize just how hot she looks after a workout. You look closely at her folded wings, tucked gently away. Your gaze moves lower down her sides, focusing on her- "Lightning. My face is up here." You quickly sit back straight. You've turned a bright red, Embarrassed that she just caught you staring at her. You quickly bury your face beneath your hooves, hoping none of the other patrons saw what had happened. "I know I'm a nice piece of eye candy Lightning, but I thought you were better than that." She smiles at you teasingly, flicking her tail gently, still waiting for her food to arrive. You keep silent, trying to avoid her devilish stare. Eventually, you're saved by your food. A pony quickly brings both Rainbow Dash's and your food. You spend the rest of your meal in near total silence, mostly because both of you were stuffing your faces with the many courses they had to offer. Once you've felt content with your meal, you return your attention back to you friend across the table. She's busy drinking the rest of her orange drink through the small straw. You watch as the water level of the sweet cordial gets lower and lower in the glass. Within seconds, you hear the satisfying sound of a straw sucking in an empty glass, now only filled with melting ice cubes. *SLUUUUUUUURPPP* "So.... we done then?" As Rainbow Dash returns you a polite nod, you pick up the costly bill. You stare at the pricing for each individual dish with suspicion and groan at the twenty percent service and government charge. You empty out some bits onto the table for the price of the meal and leave a decent tip for the waiter. Having moved to Ponyville, your salary has decreased quite a bit. In contrast, living expenses are very low in comparison to big cities like Canterlot and Cloudsdale. You quickly make off from the cafe, following Rainbow Dash on foot. you see her weaving past the various stalls across the market square and watch as she navigates between the bustling vendors and shoppers. you spot a large tree-house in the distance which you now know to be the town library; also home to Twilight Sparkle, one of Rainbow Dash's many new friends. Rainbow Dash turns her head back towards you before giving a sly wink. You take a deep cautious breath before following her to the front door. You pause for a second, in front of the tall structure. Remembering everything you've been told so far by Rainbow Dash about her friends, hoping that you haven't forgotten any critical details. You lift the door knocker and tap it against the hardwood door lightly. You hear a commotion inside between 2 hushed voices before the room falls silent. A distant reply from inside attracts your attention. You stare blankly at the door, thinking of a good conversation starter. "ummm... Just a minute!" You turn back to Rainbow Dash who shrugs at you with a blank expression. You hear the door creak open and turn to face the pony at the door. Your attention quickly diverts to the short baby dragon looking up at you from the crack. You smile genuinely at him before he opens the door for you and Rainbow Dash. " *sigh* It's for you Twillight..." You step in cautiously, passing by the purple dragon who'd greeted you. Upon noticing Rainbow Dash, he displayed a more genuine greeting before walking out, shutting the door behind you. You look up and spot the thousands of books, carefully stacked and arranged in some storage order. You notice the entire room was lined with these towering bookshelves, explaining the huge facade outside. Somehow, just being in the presence of these stores of information just made you feel smarter, even if you never had the thing for reading. Novels never really caught your attention. "Uhhh... I'm not exactly a fan of reading Dashie." "Hey! Don't badmouth the books! You should start reading; It's sooooo awsome!" Before you manage to start a line of inquiry about what Rainbow Dash was talking about, you spot a purple unicorn emerging from a side-room. Your short walk-in with her when you first arrived did allow you to learn she was the in house librarian and also a student. You quickly notice a dark pink, six point star for her cutie mark. Suggesting her interest in the stars and astronomy. You look back up to say hello but quickly find her blushing in embarrassment. You quickly realize that both her and Rainbow Dash were watching your gaze. Needless to say, neither of them were impressed. You quickly find Rainbow Dash trying to wrap her hooves around you, aiming to choke you into regretting your actions while Twilight just turned sheepishly before commenting. "Mr Lightning, do you always seem to introduce yourself by ogling mares flanks?" You stand there motionless. Mouth agape. You would be lying if you said no and a quick turn to Rainbow Dash quickly reminded you of how you two met in the first place. "Well... the tactic seems to work..." Smart move idiot. Why don't you let Rainbow do the talking instead? You quickly turn to Rainbow Dash, signalling her to start the conversation. She picks up your request and promptly lands. Taking a seat between you and Twilight. "We were just here because we wanted to hang out Twi. Lightning never actually properly introduced himself to everypony." "Right! I see." She quickly turns to face you. "So Lightning? You schooled in the top flight school in all of Equestria?" "umm... yeah. Graduated top in my class:" "And Rainbow Dash never told us anything about that!" Rainbow Dash quickly steps in, hoping to continue the story. "Well... I didn't think it was worth mentioning ya know? I mean we all know I'm the best flyer in all of Equestria. I dropped so Lightning could get some recognition." You two both stare doubtfully at the pegasus. She sits proudly and clearly full of herself. You hear a faint knocking of a door behind you; Clearly, somepony was expecting more guests and you were going to meet them. Twillight quickly scuttled across the room, using her unicorn magic to unlock the door. "OOH! I think it's the rest of the group! We are going to have the best afternoon; don't you think Lightning?" You resign your fate to an afternoon hanging out with Rainbow Dash and her friends. Somepony did once tell you that one day, you would be hanging out with all the mares. Somehow that didn't seem as appealing anymore... "Yeah... It's going to be... smashing." =========================================================================== Next Chapter: You properly introduce yourself to the lovely mane 6 =========================================================================== Author's Note BLARG!!!! Scary huh? of course not... This was finished a LONG time ago but i just did not want to publish it and kept putting it off. Anyway, I hate to see others desperate for a new chapter; so enjoy. In reference to the end of season 3. I fit into the category that watched the entire last episode, stared at the screen during the credits and called BULLSHIT. It wasn't much the plot or story I was really pissed about but the execution of the episode. I have faith in the story writers and the future for MLP:FiM episodes but the last episode just felt very rushed and incomplete. Such a major event happened in less than a half episode, clearly showing some rushing element to push the story or interference from the senior management. I hope they get their act together for season 4, and make up for the poor season 3 finale. In general, I would consider season 3 to be the "weakest" of the three; Spike seems to be a total idiot and a jerk in addition to having very little plot progression until the last episode. What do you all think? opinions? highlights? facts? feel free to comment and share ^_^
Chapter 4: Lucky PonySpecial stuff at bottom. Please read the author's notes separately and only after you read the chapter. Some (kinda) major update i guess. =========================================================================== Chapter 4: Lucky Pony =========================================================================== You watch as Twilight's unicorn magic opens the front door without effort. You never really understood how unicorn magic worked. Besides the basic things you learned in school, you knew shit about how their powers came to be and what it could do. As far as you were concerned, they could do anything with those horns and over the years, many ponies had utilized their magic for everything possible. Before you, the heavy oak doors part to the side, revealing the small crowd of ponies outside. Slowly, one by one they fill into the open and spacious reception. They take various positions in the room and chat among themselves before gathering around the chairs where you and Rainbow Dash are seated. You suddenly hear the harrowing silence echo in the huge hollow tree-house. You scan the very unique faces of everypony in the room before coming a conclusion in your mind. THIS WHOLE TOWN IS JUST FULL OF BLOODY HOT MARES AND IT ISN'T EVEN ON THE MAP?!?!? You feel a trickle of sweat drip across your face as you put on your worst poker face. You're quickly saved by the quick introduction of Twilight, who has returned from shutting the door. She quickly sits down before starting a conversation. You pay no attention to what Twilight was addressing to the group as your gaze quickly moves past the small band of ponies. Behind the orange pony you remember to be Applejack, you spot a bubblegum pink mane. You focus your attention more; noticing the light yellow fur and even the butterflies on her cutie mark. You feel a neuron activate in your brain, quickly filling your mind with memories over the last 4 years. It was impossible to forget a pony like her and you knew it. You quickly jump out of your seat and call out to the hidden pony. "FLUTTERHSHY!" Her gaze quickly meets yours. You notice her one uncovered eye, peeking out from behind her pink mane. You spot her jaw drop; having realized who was addressing her. She quickly pushes past the group of ponies before embracing you in a terribly weak but sincere hug. "Lightning! Oh I didn't know you were in Ponyville now. I thought you'd still be living in Cloudsdale or Canterlot." You slowly release yourself from your reuniting hug. You step back and return to your seat before taking a sidewards glance at Rainbow Dash. Although somewhat surprised at what she witnessed, she doesn't do anything except smile casually at the two of you. You turn back towards Fluttershy and jokingly reply. "Heheh. Well, you know. I left for... ummm personal reasons." You chuckle lightly before being interrupted by a very confused pony. "Well hold on a darn second! You and Shy knew each other too?" You pause for a moment, planning your explanation. You shuffle in your seat and ready yourself for a story session. "Well... Yeah. Back in the academy, Fluttershy and I were great friends, even if we didn't exactly get of on the right hoof." You look towards Fluttershy who only responds by blushing and hiding behind her long mane. Once again, you're interrupted by Applejack. By now she was on the edge of her seat, hoping to get her head around your story. "But... You and Fluttershy were never... umm, you know" She starts gesticulating wildly in the space in front of her. "WHAT!? NONONONO... we were just good friends." you roll your eyes, hoping nopony gets any ideas. "Friends with benefits?" you quickly turn your head towards the inquisitive pressing voice. your attention quickly turns to a wide eyed Rarity. She seems to be leaning right on the edge of her couch, gripping her seat cushion tightly underneath her. You look deeply into her rapidly blinking eyes and closely watch her "dying to know" facial expression. a small voice in the back of your head just wants to know if those eyelashes are actually genuine or fake. You stifle a laugh under your breath and quickly return back to her question with exasperation. "No, Rarity. I did not have any sexual relationships with that mare, Miss Fluttershy." You try your best to imitate a bland and direct voice but instead end up doing a horrible accent. Even so, Twilight seems to be the only pony to get the reference, chuckling happily in her seat; this earns her a few blank expressions as well as a round of awkward stares. Rarity quickly interjects once more, somehow hoping to get a different response this time round. "really sure?" By now she you could hear the fabric on the cushions giving way to the stress, stretching. Almost tearing the seams. You give her a clear unimpressed look before replying blankly, "Miss Rarity, your persistence really knows no bounds." She replies by leaning back into her seat, flicking her mane back with a hoof. You hear muffled *humph* before she stares back at you. "such a charmer; this one. I only wonder how you keep him on leash Rainbow Dash." "Oh, I have my ways Rarity. He's not as tough as he looks." Rainbow Dash gives you a sly look, causing you to instinctively feel your chaffed neck. Last time you checked, any visual mark left by that collar had already worn away. You wonder how you actually got yourself into that situation. Just thinking about it starts to give you tingles all over; making you want quickly change the subject. Luckily, this came in the form of a pink, bubbly pony jumping out of her seat, screaming to nopony in particular. "OHMYGOSHWENEEDTOTHROWYOUAWELCOMEPARTY!!!" Applejack seems to agree, adding only after pulling Pinkie Pie back onto the couch and clamping her mouth shut. "We can host the party down by the lake. You won't mind that now would you sugar-cube?" You nod politely in agreement before looking at the large clock hanging from Twilight's wall. It's only been 15 minutes... greeeaat The conversation drifts between topics often to subjects completely uninvolved with you. For the most part, you lay back and just listen to chatter, only speaking up when asked your opinion or asked about your past. It seems, Rainbow Dash had completely kept a good 3 years hidden from her friends, now curious to know past. =================================================================================== Before long, the conversation quickly swiftly switches to your personal life, delving deeper into your relationship with Rainbow Dash. You knew it would come to this. 5 mares gossiping over somepony's love life. You awkwardly bury you head under a pillow, not knowing what to do in this situation. "So Rainbow Dash... Does Lightning have an impressive-" Rarity quickly gives a sly eyebrow raise, signalling her message. Rainbow Dash casually replies, not ashamed of saying anything in front of you. "meh, I don't think it's that impressive" Awww Dashie, You just love to downplay it don't ya? Rarity, again squints her eyes, unsatisfied with the answer. "Rainbow Dash, I need hard facts here, not your biased opinions" Rainbow Dash looks at you curiously before smiling a mischievous look. She ponders a thought for a second before floating over to Rarity and pulling her little group together. This leaves just you, opposite the group of mares. you shuffle uncomfortably in your seat, and unknowingly cross your legs together. You feel the beads of sweat slowly trickle down the side of your head, hanging off the edge of your fur. You don't remember being this tense since you were sent to see your boss over a mistake during a daily weather change; It was only that one incident, you caused it to hail. The size of golf ball sized ice chunks dropped across half a neighborhood instead of rain, damaging some street equipment but luckily hurting nopony. You got a hell of a shouting at but only a day on probation. You watch closely as Rainbow Dash puts her mouth closer to all their ears, still eying you up and down. Similarly, all the mares seem to be staring at you wide eyed, giving you no respite from the social pressure. Very suddenly, Rainbow Dash seems to whisper something incomprehensible to the group, pausing slightly and using hoof gesture to illustrate her point. Her explanation gets a variety of reactions; Besides the initial shock, the group look at you in a playful manner. Twilight and Fluttershy just blush and avoid eye contact with you, clearly embarrassed and not at all used to talking about these things. On the other hand Rainbow Dash and Applejack share a guilty giggle; Applejack momentarily stares at you with an enticed look before continuing her laugh to Rainbow Dash. "Darling, you are probably the luckiest mare in all of Equestria, Rainbow Dash!" You focus you gaze towards Rarity, sniggering while covering her mouth with a hoof. "You think so Rarity?" Rainbow Dash replies. Rainbow Dash gives you a weak nudge on the shoulders, you respond by tipping over onto your other side, lying your whole body across the three pony sofa. You grab a pillow from the back of the couch and bury your head under. This muffles out most of their conversation yet, those incessant giggles still manage to come through the thick layers of fabric and feathers. You let out a desperate moan, hoping some greater being hears you out there, maybe having mercy and taking you away from this horrible situation. Please... Just kill me... ================================================================================ After what you interpret to be a long hour, you wake up abruptly, enjoying the most vivid dream ever. You feel a nice, calming motion brushing against your body. Looking up, you find yourself being tickled across your belly. You instantly tense up and flail your hooves about; causing you you to fall off your makeshift bed. You pick yourself off the cold floor and hover slowly in the air. You notice the group of multicoloured ponies making their way out of the tree-house library. Looking back towards you seat, you find Rainbow Dash looking half excited but somewhat annoyed you woke up from your slumber. She sits up, waiting for you to make a move; hopefully, to leave. One by one, the group of mares exit the building with Pinkie Pie shouting out the time and venue for your "welcome" party. "IT STARTS AT 7:00!!! IT'S BY THE LAAKEE!!!!" You wave a hoof, acknowledging both her commands and waving a goodbye. "DON'T FORGET!!! DASHIE WILL MAKE SURE YOU WONT. RIGHT DASH?!?!?" "See you later Pinkie" replies the exhausted looking Rainbow Dash. You make your way towards the exit, thanking Twilight for her hospitality on the way out. She wishes you a happy time in Ponyville as you let Rainbow Dash leave first. You follow closely behind, enjoying a leisurely flight back towards her sky home. You take notice at why shes flying very low; making you both fly at slower speeds and with more effort. "Dashie, we both know it's more efficient to fly at higher altitudes. It's better for your stability and speed." "yeah, bet where's the fun in that?" she gives you a cheeky smile before continuing. "AND, You should also remember, the thinner air isn't as good for your lungs. MEANING a less comfortable flight, Lightning." You blush discreetly having forgotten some crucial basic flight knowledge but also because Rainbow Dash out of all ponies had pointed it out to you. You decide to keep silent for the rest of the journey; instead, enjoying the view like Rainbow Dash had suggested. ============================================================================== You continue to tour around Rainbow Dash's lavish mansion. Noting in awe as you discover and explore more rooms in her decadent abode. Due to the nature of cloud homes, it is easy to manipulate structures and add rooms to existing buildings. These weightless properties of clouds also technically mean pegasi have the most stable and useful building material; being able to form any shape or block without concern for structural weaknesses. This also means pegasi could have stood to have the most creative architecture in the whole Equestria, yet it's a real shame pegasi never were particularly creative. You notice her workout rooms are given extra space and decoration, taking a good two thirds of her recreational area. You also spot her exclusive spa area, fully kitted out with a sauna, hot tub and an ice cold plunge pool. "Jeez Rainbow, you really live a humble lifestyle." "Hey, I worked my ass off for my bits and I don't see why it should go to waste." You feel tempted to dive into the hot tub this instant but your brain wisely tells you to save it for later. Maybe you could enjoy a midnight dip? As you head round towards Rainbow Dash's kitchen, you are astounded at how basic and small her kitchen is, Relative to the rest of her house... You open up the various nooks and crannies, exploring her mostly empty cupboards and drawers. In particular you open a corner shelf and spot a stack of tall tins, nicely stacked up. You pick one up, only to be quickly swarmed by Rainbow Dash. She tries desperately to grab the tin off you. You easily keep her back with one hoof while turning the can with the other to read the label. "New Formula Protein Powder. Just add milk to and enjoy a frothy milkshake before or after exercise. Guaranteed to increase muscle mass by 15%!" "You really take this Rainbow Dash?" She looks at you sourly, pouting and grabbing the half empty tin off of you. She sets in on the table and crosses her hooves across her chest. "Hmph. I swear it just makes me fat..." " You using full fat milk Dashie?" Before she replies, she ponder the thought in her mind for a moment before coming to an obvious conclusion. "DAMNIT! stupid salespony! Just add milk he said. How was I supposed to know there are different types of milk?!?" Unable to hold back a fit of giggles you support yourself on the counter, only to have yourself being punched half playfully by Rainbow Dash. She looks at you deviously before showing the can back into your hooves. "Well... You have to drink all those protein shakes now. I'm not letting those go to waste and I need to see for myself if that stuff really works." You flex your well built muscles, showing them off to a gazing Rainbow Dash. You feel a bit like and ass doing that but you didn't really feel like showing off. Your muscles aren't a particularly distinctive feature of yourself. Though, you don't really feel like you need any more. You look back at her, sighing disapprovingly before replacing the tin onto its stack. "So... Anything else we can do before 7 Skittles?" "Since you asked soo nicely, maybe we could umm... work out" "How about, no?" "Okay... Watch a movie or something?" "meh..." "Pre-party romp?" "Seriously Dashie?" "What?" "Have you heard of a thing called recovery time?" "Pfff... Out of the question then...Pussy." "Oh you have something to say to me?" You experience some pent up emotions boiling inside of you. You know Rainbow Dash is trying to rile you up but you still give into the tease; being such a sucker for her. You quickly grab one of her hooves, pinning it down onto the coffee table between the two of you. You look up into her surprised face. It quickly melts into an smug smile. You attempt to grab her free hoof, swinging yourself across the table. She dodges, causing you to topple onto the low surface. She quickly frees her trapped appendage, hopping onto the table before pinning your legs. Using gravity and weight to her advantage she presses onto you, holding both your hooves against the hardwood table. You just challenged her and now she want to fight. Shes not planning on losing. And neither were you. You swivel yourself to the side, causing her to roll onto the cloud floor. You tumble down after her, hoping to regain the upper hoof. She lands front side down, using her wings to form a shield from you. You land on her lower half; your face smothered in her tail. She flicks it violently, hoping to whip your face. You feels a sting across your cheek, distracting you for a brief moment. In the short time, she quickly gets up, charging back at you in a heated rage. You both fall over gain in a tangled mess, trying to gain the upper hand over each other. In sequential volleys you both pin each other down, only to be countered and flipping positions. The tangled mess of fur, manes and limbs resemble a messed up game of twister, fueled by rivalry but also affection. You start to sense a faint aroma in the air, almost like a distinct musk. You knew where it was coming from, and it was damn sexy. Finally, you find a break in her concentration, using the moment to roll over once again, back into your favour. You decide now was not the time to play fair, mimicking the same tactics she used against you. You sprawl your hind legs across hers, holding them down, unable to break free. Using your body weight you ensure she could not run. This time you make sure to hold both her fore hooves, cutting off any chance of escape. You hold it there a brief moment, recollecting your breath and savoring your victory. You look down onto your defeated foe, panting short, exhausted breaths. You feel a bead of sweat trickle off your head, landing on her chest. She stares at you indecently, showing clear annoyance at her defeat. She struggles slightly, to no avail. You smile at her victoriously, just to emphasize who the top pony really is. "Don't you say a word Lightning!" You chuckle sinisterly, deciding what reward you wish to claim. You lean closer to her neck, breathing down onto her sweaty fur. You feel her shudder underneath you; reacting to your warm breath. "Lightning... Stop it! You know that fee- AHHHH" She lets out an exasperated moan; you traced your tongue gently on her neck, getting payback for all previous merciless attacks. "Your looking real stunning this evening Rainbow Dash." noting her sprawled wings on the floor. "Looks like you're also edging for some action too Lightning." You turn your head to the side, noticing your stiff wings. You turn back to Rainbow Dash, once again sporting that devious look on her face. You release her gently, standing back up and allowing her to get up on her own accord. "Round one to me Dashie." You look towards the clock, reading the time to be barely 6. A good hour before you had to be at your party. You cant help but enjoying a little victory dance; right now, you probably look like the most embarrassing pony in Equestria. Luckily, the only pony who has ever and will ever see you in such as state is right in front of you. You know when somepony must be a good friend when you can act entirely normal around them. right? "I hatelosing..." You reply only with a stuck out tongue, still enjoying a rare moment of victory. But by now your body was quite tired and very sticky. You're feeling very dirty, and not just from rolling all over the floor. Rainbow Dash seems to notice your want for a shower and whispers into your ear. "we could take a dip in my hot tub, I saw how you were dying to get into it. Come on... You nod as a sign of approval before being tugged along back into the room full of relaxing goodies. You gladly follow, anticipating not only the warm bubbly water but also enjoying it with your companion. You fell like you reeaally needed a nice dip, a you were feeling rather stiff. ==================================================================================== You enter the large recreational room, adorned with sports and recreational equipment. You quickly notice the setting sun, casting a strong orange glow into your eyes. You look towards the pane-less, panoramic windows. The deep orange sun gently dropping over the horizon, making way for the moonlight to cover the night sky. You walk over to the hot tub, staring over the edge, glancing at the water. You look closely at the crystal clear reflection in the water. The only distortion comes from the deep orange glow to the water and yourself. You peek closer to the waters surface, leaning in closer. A stray drop of sweat drops of your chin, shattering the clear image on the waters surface. You gaze into the rippling water, fixated on the disturbance in the water. *nudge* You feel a force prod you from behind. You lose balance, falling into the water. Touching the water takes you be surprise. The shock of the cold causes your heartbeat to jump tremendously. You hit your head against the bottom of the tub, causing a loud *thud* . You scramble any responsive limb in an attempt to get to the surface. You push against the bottom of the hot tub; sending you rocketing back to the top. Feeling chocked for air, you gasp wildly for breath as you met the waters surface. LORD CELESTIA DAT WAS SOME SCARY SHIT You grapple onto the edge of the small tub, gasping for breath. You quickly notice Rainbow Dash lowering herself slowly into the seat beside you, cringing as she enters the freezing water. "You know, you are supposed to heat the water up..." "I've only used this stupid thing once, There's no point wasting energy heating it up." "You own a jacuzzi and you don't intend on using it" A shocked look spreads across your face. "I'm not much of a water pony, plus it's no fun to use alon-" You pull her close to you, wrapping a hoof around her waist. With your free one, you flick on all the switches on the side, turning the dials to medium. Immediately you feel a wave of bubbles rising to the surface accompanied with a steady blast of water jets on the side. A bright illuminant light in the center flickers to life, providing light and warmth to the water. "Better Dashie?" You feel her grip tightly to your body, sharing between you toasty body heat. You feel her loosen up, melting into your embrace. You support her closely as she drifts into a surreal sense of relaxation. You run a hoof through her wet mane, pushing it behind her head like one huge, multicoloured tentacle. In the distance, the sun has dropped almost completely, leaving the entire room in a state of twilight. The only clear light emanates from the fuzzy glow from the bottom of the hot tub. "Hey Rainbow Dash?" She stirs lightly against you, reluctant to answer. "Yeah?" "Remember when we first... you know. Like, did it?" "mmhh hmm..." You pause for a moment before continuing. By now Rainbow Dash has sat up, still leaning on you but more focused on the topic . "Why did we want to do it soo badly then?" She rolls her eyes inquisitively, looking for an answer, hoping it to be floating in mid-air. She pulls herself closer to you, wrapping a leg around your body. "hmm... We were young and curious?" "What? you wanted it in you that badly?" She smirks at you, making a point. "Don't tell me you weren't fantasizing about me before that Lightning..." She whispers quietly into your ear, talking in that gentle but enticing tone. True, she wasn't wrong. You were young. And hormonal. But damn, it wasn't like you were the only one. You were pretty sure she had turned down at least a dozen other colts back then. And that hot ass wasn't helping to keep colts away either. "Geez, I still had never felt so much more awkward in my life... ever" "Well, we did kinda make a bit of a mess in your room." "a bit? Rainbow Dash, I feel sorry for the pony who is now using those same sheets. They will forever be untouchably, violated." "But was it worth it?" "Dashie..." You stare back at her, smiling joyfully. "Silly question" You ruffle her mane gently, still tufted and slick from the water. She exhales deeply, enjoying the now warm, bubbly water. You continue, taking the opportunity to have a go at winding her up. "Anyway, I wasn't the one who had to take the walk of shame..." You close your eyes, leaning back against the edge of the tub. You take a second to let the thoughts sink in into Rainbow Dash's mind; Refilling her head with long gone memories. You hear an imaginary click in her head and feel her shift in the water. "OK. That was not cool." "and then the look on your face, sneaking down the hallway. Oh Celestia that was priceless." "Ha Ha Ha... that's funny Lightning. Keep this up and you get to sleep on the floor tonight." "Awww... you're too nice to do that to anypony, Dash." "I've done worse! You should know that by now." "Yeah, but always out of love and not to really hurt anypony." You snigger loudly, covering your mouth. Rainbow Dash looks at you in annoyance and surprise. "Maybe you like to torture ponies Dashie, but you would never leave a pony on your front steps, knowing they have nowhere else to go." She sighs deeply, sinking slowly into the water. You watch as she slowly submerges below the surface. You swear you could see a blush creeping onto her face. AWWWW... still trying to hide your emotions Dashie? You laugh out loud again, knowing nopony is around to hear you. Almost happy you managed to play around with Rainbow Dash you once again sink back into your seat, enjoying the hot, steamy wate- "Ooh..." You feel a soft pair of hooves, push against you lower body, working their way up along your legs. You stifle a gag, surprised at her sudden want to please you. You shuffle in your seat, leaning back to get into a comfortable position. Slowly, you feel her hooves draw gentle patterns on your legs, teasing you into a state of arousal. You fall into a deep sense of euphoria, letting your body fall into her care. You close your eyes slowly, mouth open, taking deep panting breaths. You feel ready to take her on, aching for some relief. You lean further back, gripping the edges of the hot tub with your hooves . You gasp at the sudden change in touch, you feel a tongue like structure, slowly making it's way to you sweet spot. I hate you so much Rainbow Dash... Your carnal desire knows no end Suddenly, you feel a splash of water against your face. You get some water in your nose, causing you to choke and splutter. You sit back up, still gasping for breath. You look to the seat opposite you, seeing a cyan blue mare climbing out of the jacuzzi. She pulls herself out gracefully, using minimal effort to climb out of the water. She turns back towards you, smiling a devilish smile. "Oh! Look at the time; We better get going to Pinkie's Party." She continues on walking, taking not another look back at you. Just to rub salt into your wound, you swear she was wagging her ass behind her. You feel a wave of emotions run amok; Annoyance, lust and embarrassment. You were left now, about to have the best blowjob ever imagined, and then just have it stopped in the blink of an eye. Worst of all, you were left with the biggest boner of all time. You pull yourself out of the hot tub in an undignified manner, scrambling up onto your hooves. You follow behind Rainbow Dash, taking an awkward shuffle in your steps. It only occurs to you that that was her intention all along. You knew that Pinkie's party wasn't that far away, and NO WAY were you going to fly there in your current state. you carry your terribly embarrassed self towards the changing room, cursing under your breath, You're a complete bitch Rainbow Dash, you know that? ========================================================================== Next Chapter: Welcome Party!! ========================================================================== Author's Note Hey everypony! Besides the latest updates. I have been furiously writing a chapter for a new story I had in my mind; a semi-serious/meaningful plot involving you (second person again. I like writing second person) a re-assigned federal bureau agent to a new growing city of Ponyville. The universe it kind of set in a human universe, however with MLP characters and setting. At the moment, I have no idea whether it should be humanized (which I can picture better) or anthro (which i find difficult to imagine ponies doing human stuff). Because of this, I have stuck to using an anonymous character name. This is the first 1000 or so words as a taster into the story (with very little relevance to ANYTHING pony like whatsoever). Any opinions? Should I write it ( i will still continue updating and focusing on Reunited) or is there little interest for this storyline? *Background info: You're a Federal Bureau agent. About to move to a still growing city of Ponyville. Rapid unchecked development have led to a epidemic of uncontrolled city planning, corrupt officials, rising crime rates and continued decline in quality of local police service.* Also note, there will be none of the Mane 6 or any other pony character in the teaser. Nor will there be any in the first chapter. Though after the prologue and intro is done with, The story will be very Mane 6 centric. Maybe some romance, haven't decided... Please comment. Even if it's a "yes, do it" or "nope.avi". (either way, I would still probably write it teehee) ignore any grammatical or spelling mistakes. This is literally the first draft. I barely read it twice enjoy! ========================================= "Shot's fired! Shot's fired on Charlton Avenue. Agent in urgent need of assistance!" You feel a deafening ring in you right ear as a bullet whizzes by your head. You quickly scramble behind a brick wall, confident it will protect you against the volley of lead. "Roger unit 5. All available units in the vicinity, shots fired on Charlton Avenue. Be advised, federal agents in attendance." Federal agents in attendance? what difference does that make. THE AGENT CALLED FOR THE FUCKING HELP! You draw your standard issue Glock pistol; ready to return fire. You look across to your right, at the opposite side of the street. A man, similar to you also takes cover behind a shop wall. He returns fire, made possible by the shooter focusing on you. A salvo of shots suppresses your attacker, giving you opportunity to advance. You quickly slide out of cover, attempting to make good use of your partner's covering fire. However, you fail miserably, miscalculating the timings; making it only 5 meters out before realizing your partner had already emptied his clip. another hail of bullets in your direction causes you to lunge for cover behind a short blue mailbox. You hear and feel the pings as bullet after bullet sink into the metal alloy of the mailbox. You thank god that he was probably using a small caliber bullet, protecting you from being peppered. You lean out of cover, firing off 5 aimed shots. You look to your side, only to see nobody in the vicinity. You scream to your partner, probably to your rear. "LIAM YOU FUCKER! MOVE UP" He slips out from behind the safety of the coffee shop wall, advancing under you suppressing fire. He takes position behind a parked car, looking for a suitable firing position. You let off another 5 shots, hoping to give him time to get a clear shot of the shooter. You now have only what you know to be only three rounds left in your clip. "Dispatch. Where's my backup!?!" "Assistance on route Unit 5. ETA 2 minutes." You sigh frustratedly. There was never any backup when you needed it. Looking back towards the shooter, you get a better view of his position. Your suspect has barricaded himself inside a jewelers; hiding behind the glass cases and shooting from inside the premises. The afternoon sun glaring into his eyes gives you no clear view into the store; but only a black-grey silhouette. You discharge the remains of your clip into the dark abyss, reload abruptly and advance. You decide to make a straight dash towards the jeweler's shop rather than the textbook 'Z' patterned maneuver . You quickly make it to a large, tinted panoramic window display. Inside you hear no movement, leaving only the faint crack of glass shards falling. You wait for your partner to catch up, holding your position bravely. In the distance you hear the faint noise of blaring police sirens. backup. bout' fucking time they showed up! You wait a second no longer, rushing into the premises with partner in tow. A scan around the front shows no signs of hostages, victims or the shooter. You hear an audible moan across from the counter. You mantle over the breaking display while your partner clears the surrounding room. Looking down towards the floor you see a masked robber, sprawled on the ground. His weapon still lies in his motionless hand, although noticeably out of ammunition. "Dispatch. Suspect down. I need an ambulance at the jeweler's on Charlton avenue. 2 gunshot wounds to the suspect's upper chest. I repeat, no active suspects." "10-4 Unit 5. All units, 'Shooting on Charlton Avenue is now code 2. Units to still respond. Ambulance on route." You holster you weapon. Taking a moment to recollect your breath. You proceed to remove the weapon off your suspect and search his persons. After being satisfied he poses no further threat you get up, turning to leave the jeweler. a couple of beat cops rush past to secure the scene. Allowing you to cool down after your near brush with death. "Good shots there Anon. Two clean gunshot wounds to the chest. I don't think he's going to live..." You rush up, grabbing Liam's collar tightly. Your fingers grip against his white shirt and bullet proof vest. You look frustratingly into his face before pushing him back. "FUCK LIAM! We could have nabbed him. Now we have NO suspect, NO charges and NO trial. Instead we have a corpse in a gem shop, 100,000 bits worth of jewelry STILL missing and no further case!" You both stand in silence for a moment, shuffling in the awkwardness of the situation. You hear both of you and Liam's deep panting, both from the gunfight and confrontation. He looks downs towards his shoes, crossing his arms nervously. Before long, he looks back at you and nudges you lightly. "well... at least there's less paperwork with a corpse than a tried suspect..." you facepalm silently before making your way towards you car. You desperately need a nice cup of coffee right now to calm your nerves. Throwing any ideas of drinking the shit they call 'coffee' at Starbucks you plan on heading towards an authentic french coffee house across town. "Come on Liam, I need a nice coffee." "And you're buying right?" "What do you mean? We got the result you wanted so it's your turn to buy-" "Yeah, but you shot the guy... Therefore, you're buying!" "Liam, I am now exercising my seniority and ordering you to buy me a coffee." "Shit man. I hate it when you pull rank. You have a higher salary, and still force me to cover... So can I drive you car then?" "Hahaha!" You let out a sarcastic laugh. Knowing this is probably the 7th time he'd ask to drive your car. "Liam, there is no way I'm letting you drive my Volvo. EVER. Or at least for as long as my heart is pumping and I'm breathing." Your petty argument is stopped as you reach your parked vehicle. You unlock you Volvo XC60, entering from the driver's door. Hardly a Bureau issued vehicle but a personal favorite nonetheless. You sink into the comfortable, ergonomic seats, gripping the steering wheel gently. You stick your remote car access key into the holder, keeping it in place. You push the start stop button, bringing the turbo-charged Swedish machine to life. You easily reverse out of your parking space, making onto the main road in no time. God... I can taste that coffee already...
Chapter 5: Party Pony!We're all going on a summer holiday! Jeez, sometimes it's fucking hot. I hate it when it's too hot. Meh, I decided to break what i wrote into two chapters. Just so it flows better and so it's not a huge chunk. Probably gonna post the next one by September. (I say that and it's probably gonna be late September or even October. >.<) ======================================================================== Chapter 5: Party Pony! ======================================================================== You're left here, standing soaking wet, freezing and unfulfilled. Noticing Rainbow Dash shake off most of the water off her fur, you plainly assume there aren't any towels nearby. You continue to sit here, wet and dripping. You curse to yourself; once for forgetting to remember a towel, and secondly, for knowing Rainbow Dash didn't remind you on purpose. I guess, I'm going to drip dry this evening You proceed to do a little shake; vigorously removing the excess moisture off your body. A gentle breeze blows into the room, sending a cold chill down your spine. You cross your legs, shivering in the cold. in front of you, Rainbow Dash is doing her best to retain her signature mane style. Small droplets of water cling onto the loose strands of hair. "Are you quite done, Dash?" "Huh?" "I'm freezing, if you haven't noticed." She lets out a cute laugh before pointing to you. "Yeah. Look! I can see some icicles hanging off of your tail!" You look instinctively towards your rear, somehow convinced that she was honest about her remark. Head turned, you see noting but a damp, shivering tail. "Har Har. Real Funny Dash-" A pair of hooves meets your neck. You feel a burning warmth pulsating throughout them, into your body. Within seconds you imagine any imaginary icicles melting off instantly. You stand there motionless, not knowing what to do next. Sure you were feeling much better but somehow you just felt slightly awkward standing idly. You think of the only possible thing to say, which wasn't exactly false. "Umm... Rainbow Dash. Is it me, or is it getting a bit steamy in here?" "Nah. Just say it Lightning. I'm that hot." "And so modest too..." You quickly release yourself from her grip, ready to head off to your arranged function. You look back at Rainbow Dash, beckoning for her to follow. She grins at you competitively before taking a runny leap out the open panoramic window. You anticipate her premature lead and grab her tail between your teeth. A sharp tug pulls her back behind you, letting you take a dive straight down from her floating house. Nice try Dash... You swiftly glide out of your straight free fall, feeling the cold evening air brush roughly against your un-preened feathers. The hot tub jets had not been gentle on your wings and have thoroughly messed up your flight dynamics. You take a second to adjust to the unusual flying style, slowing down just a bit to keep airborne. Behind, you hear a furious wing flapping; Obviously Rainbow Dash's. Before long you find yourself neck and neck with your only superior. She slows down to your pace, leaning closer in to talk comfortably. "Jeez Lightning. I didn't know you started to play dirty now." "Sometimes Dash, ethics in competition have to be overlooked." "OH! So it's a race now?" "When isn't it a race with you Dashie?" She gives you a wink and just laughs half-heartedly. She stops after a few seconds, mostly due to your stare. Somehow, you've seemed to put her off; causing her to look elsewhere for some other distraction. You both fly in silence for a minute, unable to figure out what each other was thinking. Eventually, Rainbow Dash cracks the ice, asking you a question you've probably never thought of before. "Lightning. Umm... if I asked you what was the most attractive thing about me what would you say?" "Well... That's easy I guess. Your personality of course! There's nopony like you Dash. And I like you because of that." She looks slightly annoyed at your answer. She tries her best to think about how to rephrase her question. She asks you again with a more serious tone. Obviously, this subject meant a lot to her. "No. I mean, like my body. What do you like about me. My physical body." You stare at her blankly. Unable to get an answer. Maybe you really didn't know what was the right thing to say. Or perhaps you were scared you could have answered wrongly. You look from hoof to head. Down from her mane to her tail. You honestly couldn't find a fault on her physique yet you wouldn't say any part of her was hugely striking. You're left there, mouth hanging open. "No gawking Lightning. So?" "Ahhhh... Your..." "Hmm?" "I can't say..." "You CAN'T say. or you WON'T say?" "No. It's not like that." "SO you're saying nothing catches your attention!" She looks at you with wide eyes. You're not sure if they're ones of accusation or just intimidation. You stumble on your words, trying to desperately find something to say. Somehow, your brain just isn't thinking. "NONONONO. I swear. like... I mean, Your flank is very much eye-catching!" "What?" "No wait! I meant you-" "*gasp* Lightning! I never thought you were that kind of pony. jeez, I thought had more morals than that." She looks at you with a gaping mouth. You feel somewhat embarrassed and misunderstood but don't feel like opening your mouth anytime soon. "Ah well. I guess we all have our deep desires lightning." "That's not what I meant, Dash." "Well if it feels any better I've always loved your wings. They're so... cool." "Really? 'cool'. That's all you can say about them Dash?" "Meh. Mine are still about 20% cooler." You look down at a brightly lit lakeside in a park. It looks as if the entire town was having a party. You think to yourself if this was really necessary to welcome one pony. taking a steep dive you hope to make an impressive fly by just above the water. you hear a speech from what you imagine to be the mayor. Surprisingly, talking about you. "Mares and gentlecolts, it is with great pleasure that I can announce a new citizen of Ponyville and the latest addition to our expanding weather management team, a Mr Lightning Strike." As you pull up sharply, you hear a muffled snigger before feeling a jabbing kick to the top of your wings. You lose your precisely tuned balance and can only watch as you accelerate towards the water at a neck breaking speed. Don'tbreakyourneckDon'tbreakyourneckDon'tbreakyourneck "Having studied at the 'Cloudsdale Academy for the gifted and talented' Lightning is known to be a top flier and an excellent athelete-" *SPLASH* FUCKIT You feel a stinging pain across your legs as they drag across the surface of the water. You cry a little inside, feeling the pain and irony of getting a friction burn on water. You quickly surface, spitting out a mouthful of freshwater. You mane hangs over your face, covering one eye. As you focus with the other, you look right at a huge crowd, silent and frozen. They stare right back at you, not moving a muscle. The deathly silence fills your stomach with unease. you hear a slight pitter patter of water as your mane releases single drops into the lake. "AWSOME!" A random pony in the crowd cries out. A cacophony of applause, cheer and laughter break across the audience; Many amused and entertained by your unorthodox entry. You turn around and see a very content Rainbow Dash land and quickly make conversation with her friends. You hastily make your way to the edge of the lake, wading out slowly due to your wet and heavy fur. A large hoof extends out in a helpful manner. You grab it without second thought. An unexpected strong grip heaves you clean out of the water. you hang for a brief second before being dropped onto the ground. You haven't known or seen anypony who could do something like that besides your old friend Thunder. Hopeful, you look up at your rescuer, staring right at his face. "Thanks for... uhh. that." "Eeyup" yeah. Definitely not Thunder. wobbling on your hooves, you focus on your new acquaintance. A huge bright red stallion, towering over you. His cropped tail and work horse collar suggest he's in the farming business. Somehow, his appearance reminds you of somepony. Looking closer at his burnt blonde mane and light freckles, you suspect a family resemblance to AppleJack. Too young to be her dad; ergo, her brother "Hi there. I take it you're AppleJack's brother?" "Eeyup." "Lightning Strike. Pleased to meet you... err-" "Big Mac. Big Macintosh." "Cool beans." You stare at him for a moment, pondering a thought. "Can I call you Mac?" "Eeyup." "Can I call you Biggy?" "Nnope." You laugh, somewhat amused with his repetitive, somber replies. You wish him well, moving through the crowd. Many of the ponies pat you on the bag or offer to buy you a drink. You simply smile at them and politely decline. With this many ponies buying you drinks, you could easily get hammered within minutes. It didn't help that you had a very low alcohol tolerance. Damn. All these ponies are just so friendly. You look towards the DJ stand in the distance. Ignoring the heavy thumping of the music, you spot a white coloured, electric blue maned mare manning the sound booth. Though you cant see much detail from here, you spot her eyes covered completely by the black sunglasses. Shit. Have I seen her somewhere before? You end up standing there, staring at the peculiar figure. She looks in your direction; giving you a wave. If she didn't have those sunglasses on, you swear she winked at you. OK. Moving on... You shuffle through the ecstatic crowd, making your way past the hectic dance floor. You spot a familiar group of ponies milling about in a corner. Just the bright fluffy pink tail immediately told you that you knew these ponies. You happily make your way over there, spotting the six mares to be enjoying a good conversation. You waltz over confidently, pushing past a few ponies. You lean over middle of a cyan blue pony, reaching over to the other five of the group. You push down on the pony, resting most of your weight against her spine. You put on your best polite voice. "Can I interest any of you mares in a drink?" The five mares giggle between themselves. They reply to you one at a time. "OH!OH! Lightning. I'll have a cider please. LIKEYOUKNOW?CIDER?!" you smile and nod to Pinkie Pie, bouncing in joy over your kind gesture. "Ah guess I'll take a shot of whiskey please Lightning." You turn your head and acknowledge a humble looking Applejack, sitting comfortably beside Pinkie. A quiet voice catches your attention. Just beside Applejack you find Fluttershy asking for your attention. You make it clear you're listening and she place her order. Or at least what you hear to be it. "Just a small fruit cocktail for me Lightning. I mean- If you don't mind." Barely catching her order you quickly turn to see Rarity and Twilight deliberating on what to have. They both whisper and order the same drink. "We'll have a Hanky-Panky please." You stare at Twilight in shock and confusion; unable to process her request. You call out to her. "Excuse me?" Twilight looks at you in shock, hoping you haven't misinterpreted her request. Rarity on the other hand hides he mouth behind a hoof. You hear a muffled laugh as you spot a deep blush growing on Twilight's cheeks. She snaps back at you. "It's a drink Lightning! Geez. Grow up a bit." You continue to stretch the joke a bit, just to see her reaction. "So, you want me to ask the bartender over there. 'for some Hanky-Panky's?'" "Haha. You're such a comedian Lightning." Twilight stares at you and rolls her eyes. You hear a loud whinny resonate from beneath you. It's accompanied with a stern 'ahem'. You cock your head to the side with a cheeky smile on you face. You lock eyes with a very sore looking Rainbow Dash. You put on the worst innocent voice ever, trying very hard not to hide your insolence. "Oh! I'm sorry Skittles. I honestly didn't see you there." "Hmmf. You aren't gonna offer me a drink Lightning?" You dismount Rainbow Dash, staring at her right hoof. She's clutching a huge cider mug, topped to the brim with a bubbling froth. You wonder if Rainbow Dash is on to something or if she really wasn't paying attention. "Rainbow Dash, not trying to insult your intelligence here but; Haven't you already got a drink?" you point to her full mug of Applejack brand cider. She looks down at her mug and back to you quickly. "That's not the point. You still never offered to get me a drink!" Your smile disappears into an apathetic expressionless look. "Can I please offer you a drink Miss Rainbow Dash?" She looks at you for a second, almost in a stupefied state. She walks cup closely to your face. You feel her hot, cidery breath against your cheek. The smell penetrates your nose, giving an intoxicating buzz. "Hmm..." She slowly tips her cider mug over your head, spilling her mostly un-drunk drink onto you mane. You feel the warm cider sticking to your mane. You lick your lips, tasting the strong cider around your mouth. The group gasps in horror, staring down Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow! The nice stallion offed you a drink! How do you even sleep at night?" She grunts annoyingly before replying. "Well, that depends on what position I had sex that evening..." You make a quick getaway, not needing any more of Rainbow Dash's bawdy humour. As you make off, you try hard to remember what everypony wanted. Behind you you hear a playful argument erupting about a certain somepony's lewd conduct. =============================================================================== Making your way back to the delightful group of mares was most certainly more challenging; you balance a tray of seven drinks on your back, shuffling past yet another group of party-goers. You make it back to your friends in one pieces, distributing out the drinks as requested. You remark to Twilight and Rarity how the bartender gave you a curious look as you demanded a Hanky-Panky. The elated group laughs and continues to converse amongst each other. You hand over another full mug of cider to Rainbow Dash who pecks you lightly on the cheek for your endeavour. Certainly not quite a task for a knight in shining armour but sompony needs to carry drinks. You sit there, listening to the many conversations. A smaller mug of cider rests in your hooves. You stare at the delectable froth, licking it off slowly. Around you, the ponies seem to be enjoying their drinks. After hours of endless conversation you notice many ponies to be on their 4th or 5th drink; even Fluttershy seems to be enjoying her 7th fruit cocktail. What little alcohol in her drink barely starting to take effect. You stare down into the mug in your hooves. It was just under half full and you swear you were starting to feel slightly light headed. You try and ensure not to get drunk enough to start spewing out incriminating secrets... or today's lunch. Beside you you notice Rainbow Dash already on her 6th or 7th large mug of cider. She's clearly not able to keep up with the conversations and trying hard just to conjure a sentence. Before you know it the party seems to be winding down to a close. Many of the ponies who have stayed this long were very clearly here for the drink and not the company. By now only a handful of ponies were still present; many making their way home. You bid farewell to each of your friends as they make their way home in pairs. Rarity hobbles off, supporting Twilight in her steps. In the opposite direction, Fluttershy is making small chat with Applejack as they head towards her farm. You're left here with a nearly blacked-out Rainbow Dash. "come on Ligshtning... letsh have shome fun..." You only watch as Rainbow Dash struggles to her feet. She barely managed to produce that sentence and you doubt she could get herself off the ground let alone make it home. A brilliant idea quickly springs into your mind. You don't know of how much use it would be but you've always wanted to say this. "Go home Rainbow Dash, you are drunk." Her eyes stare at your mouth for a brief second. She licks her lips sloppily, still trying to process her surroundings. She smiles and frowns before giving a one word answer. "NOOEEWWW" Ah Well... It was worth a shot. You execute plan B, trying your best method to get both of you home intact. In one swift motion you quickly scoop her from under her legs, lifting her whole body onto your back. She doesn't struggle; instead, collapsing and putting her full weight onto you. She was extremely light, even for Pegasus standards. You fiddle a bit to try and get her securely on your back. Her slim body instantly droops over you. She's out cold. You take a running jump, using large, long wing flaps to keep both of you airborne. As you fly through the silent night you feel a sense of calm and peace around you. Night time was the best for flying. The white glow of Luna's moon illuminates the landscape. You spy your lone shadow on the ground below. Your two bodies create a distorted, weird pony shape. You eventually make it to Rainbow Dash's floating house. Just in time too as Rainbow Dash's snoring would have started to wake up the town. You look at Rainbow Dash, hoping to find a key to the door. You feel around her body, somehow hoping she carried a key on her. She giggles in her sleep as you almost tickle and fondle some delicate spots. You don't know what you were thinking. Maybe she had a key in some sort of magical pocket? Nope. You sigh in despair, but a small smile breaks out on the edge of your mouth. You calmly walk up to the plant pot beside the door and fish into the dirt inside. You pull out a grimy brass key, unlock the door and proceed to drag Rainbow Dash inside. You quickly convert her cloud stairs into a ramp, flattening out the steps into a flat, angles surface. mostly. You grab both rear legs; hoisting her up the ramp, the few uneven bumps can be seen as Rainbow Dash slides over them like a worm. You quickly reach her bedroom. You gently place her into her cloud bed, tucking her in under the cover. She's sleeping like a hibernating bear. You know she's going to regret this tomorrow and proceed to leave her room; quietly closing the door behind you and sliding onto her downstairs couch. You've had enough for one day and fall asleep before you've counted two sheep leaping over the fence. =========================================================================== Because nobody want's to see a hungover Rainbow Dash do they? Right? Spelling, grammatical and other errors everywhere! Thanks for reading!
Chapter 6: Best. Morning. Ever.School sucks. Period. I hope everypony is OK. Content with life. hmm? Sorry for the really, really late update. Doing A-levels now and giving much less time to do anything else :( . Also finding it a mixture of pain and annoyance as well as fun and eye-opening. "People who like to avoid shocking discoveries... should stay away from Sociology." P. Berger =================================================================================== Chapter 6: Best. Morning. Ever. =================================================================================== You feel a sharp nip on your wings; it feels ecstatic. You feel another bite on your wings; the sensation tingles down your spine. You purr quietly to yourself, not ready to face the world. Another nip. This time, painfully. You cry out in agony, rolling off the couch. A morning wing-boner prevents you from rolling over onto your back... at least without a ton of pain. You stare up at the source of the biting, staring at a cute little green tortoise. He looks at you angrily, beckoning for attention. "You got a problem Tank?" You've met tank only a few times, mostly just passing him a cheery glance. He knocks into your skull, floating with his propeller pack. "Ouch. What was that for?" He bits at your fur, trying to pull you with him. You take the hint and follow him towards the kitchen. He pokes his food bowl on the ground before rubbing his tummy. "Oh right. You're hungry. Got it." You dig around in the shelves for his bag of food. You struggle to find anything amidst the protein powder and tinned foodstuff. Strange... pets don't usually get hungry until after sunrise. You quickly turn and spot the clock dangling above the stove. It reads 8:45. Way past the crack of dawn. You curse to yourself and continue to search the cupboards. Eventually, you find a cupboard just filled with tortoise food and treats. You grab a random box, ripping the top off with your teeth. You dump enough in his bowl to form a huge mountain and race to fill up his water bowl. You turn the tap to full, spraying a jet of water into the bowl. The strong blast ricochets off the bowl and drenches you in cold tap water. Perfect. Shower done. You drop the bowl beside Tank, surprised that he's nearly eaten half the mountain of pellets. its hunger amazes you, for such a small animal. You don't waste a second longer, sprinting out the front door. At the edge of her cloud home, just beside her mailbox you spot a recognizable clipboard. Attached to it is a beige coloured A4 sheet with a stamp from the department of weather. You read the body of it in silence. No upcoming weather events scheduled for today. Proceed as normal and arrange fair numbers of cumulus and alto-cumulus clouds over the Ponyville area before 0900 Great You think to yourself. I've got fifteen minutes to procure at least two dozen clouds for today. You make some small calculations in your head. If you need twenty-four clouds and take about thirty seconds per cloud. You'd be done in twelve minutes with some time to spare for tidy up. You get to work, forming delicate puffy clouds above Ponyville. below you notice many Ponyville residents getting on with their day. Somehow, they don't seem to be disturbed by the lack of weather, or at least they don't show it. You race with time to get your work done, forming every cloud with precise touches and puffiness. You try to perfectly shape the cloud just as the textbook wants you too and ensure the specification is precisely matched. You waste valuable time, forgetting your 'expert' timings. You're stuck on one cloud, trying desperately to make it cute in shape. Just enough puff to give it volume but not too much as to make it odd. What should have taken up less than a minute was now tying you down for nearly five. Just as you perfect the look and feel of it you sigh a breath of relief. Suddenly, a certain Rainbow Pegasus appears out of nowhere, smashing on top of your nurtured child you call a cloud. She flattens it, making it look like a pretty lame souffle. "Heya Rookie. Still following it by the book I see." You float there in annoyance. Leaving your hooves dangling in the air. "Hey Rainbow Dash. You know that feeling when you spend a really long time getting your work done or finishing a masterpiece? And then somepony comes along to fuck it up. Yeah, I'm getting that right now..." She smiles and laughs before quickly stamping on top of the cloud. It immediately forms a perfect cumulus; puffy with a cotton like look and feel. You float there in shock and annoyance. You're about to remind Rainbow Dash about the rest of the clouds that need doing before she interrupts you. "Don't worry Lightning. Look" She gestures to the filled skies, covered in lush assortments of clouds. "Ten, seconds flat." "But- But, how. And the things- The- Clouds." "Come on. I'm the best pegasi who ever lived. Not just cuz i'm fast. I know a thing or two about weather." "And just when did you wake up?" "Tank woke me up just now. And by the way, thanks for feeding him Lightning." She gives you an amorous hug while the two of you float mid air. "...No problem..." You take a seat on one of the cloud still amazed at how quickly she did her work. You think to yourself why she doesn't do this everyday. Maybe it was a sudden reflex thing, or perhaps last minute pressure. On a different note, you almost sink in into the silky like cloud; adoring the plush level of comfort it gave you. Rainbow Dash takes a seat beside you, sporting an apologetic smile. "Ehh... Thanks for bringing me home last night too Lightning." "Really Rainbow Dash. It was nothing." "Did you need to carry me?" "Are you serious? You were out cold Rainbow Dash." "Huh. I can't remember. Good thing too though. My mouth says some pretty weird things when I'm... you know.." "Wouldn't that be a shame..." She smiles at you, knowing your next plan will be when you two are out with drinks. She returns another thankful smile. "But seriously Lightning. Thanks a lot. Usually I just pass out on the grass. Sleeping there till sunrise. It's soo embarrassing." Daww, she has a drinking problem. Adorkable... She leans over to you and tries to kiss you on the cheek. You reflectively grasp her, tilting your head. You plant a kiss on her lips, giving both of you a warm, fuzzy feel inside. The only thing preventing you two from having an all out make-out is your annoying sense of self-control. You end your kiss slowly, letting her lie across your legs. You place a hoof on her tummy, gently rubbing in a circular motion. She lets out an initial squeak before groaning out in delight. She gently lets out a low purring noise, enjoying her belly rub. You lean your head back, basking in the morning sun. Lazily, you two sit there for what feels like an eternity. as the morning sun slowly draws across the horizon, you begin to feel it shine into your face. You feel ready to go home and hastily ask Rainbow Dash about work. "Umm... We're done here right? Rest of the day off now?" "Mmm... Yeah. Unless we get another order for some random weather I think we're good for now." You sit up, ready to head back home. Before you can even leap off you feel Rainbow Dash taking a running jump, racing you back to her house. You happily oblige; diving off with grace, with Rainbow Dash in hot pursuit. In no time she quickly catches up to you and overtakes. You're left behind, watching as she get further away. At least the view's good You eye her lean, mean body cutting through the sky, tightly shaped; slicing the air. As she gets smaller in the distance you push harder, wanting to keep her in your view. You give yourself a little incentive to keep up with Rainbow Dash. Don't lose sight of that curved flank... ========================================================================== *Huff* *Huff* You fall to the ground, exhausted with your work and morning flight. You crawl to the kitchen, desperate for a glass of water. You believe Rainbow Dash has run off for a quick shower. With no energy left to join her, you sink back into the sofa and only imagine what shes doing in there. *Pomf* Luckily, nopony's around to see it. Feeling bored, you rummage through her entertainment system and movie collection. You can see a couple of gaming systems lining her table top and two drawers underneath. You peek into the first smaller drawer to find a bunch of common and popular games; fighting, adventure and a cart load of racing games. You hear a noise coming from the bathroom and quickly take a peek over your shoulders. You see nothing. Satisfied that you've seen or played all these games before you proceed to shut the top drawer and move onto the bottom one. You heave it open with some force and are surprised to find out just mow much Dash loves her movies. You find an assortment of genuine films such as a whole box set of the Daring Doo series and some less than legal copies of other B-rated movie. Deeper inside her collection you find a small box with a crudely written, marked sticker. XXX Material. Do Not Open. You stare at it closer and contemplate what could be inside it. You slowly place a hoof on the cover, sweating as you try and lift it. Thoughts race through your mind. Both in confusion and genuine uncertainty. Is this clop? Is it like, Dashie's secret clop?? Wait. Dashie actually clops?!? SO HAWT!!! "Ahem." *Pomf* You turn around. "Jeez Lightning. You need to relax a bit. Have you seen yourself? That wingboner's throbbing so much it looks like its gonna explode." "Like that's gonna happen Dashie..." She glances over your shoulder, curious to find out what you're doing. You quickly place the lid back onto the box but fail to place it back in without her noticing. Her eyes twitch a bit at the sight of the box but she hardly reacts. You smile at her innocently before placing the box back into the depths from which it came. She pats you on the head, almost like a pet. "Ummm..." "Lightning, You can use whatever you want in this house-" You hope this doesn't turn into a personal space lecture. "-But if you really want to know, I don't think you'd enjoy what's in that box." "And you would know?" "Ok. Unless you're into colt-cuddling or a bit of threesome actio-" "OK. Ok. Nevermind. Change of topic please?" "Sure. Hit me." "Ummm... Skittles? Do you clop?" She smiles at you devilishly before once again patting you on the head. She walks away and slinks into the couch. You turn around and notice a controller in her hoof. You look puzzled; staring at her. She stares back at you in impatience. "Come on... Hurry up!" "What?" "Stick a game in." "Oh, right..." You rummage though the game pile looking for something you two would both enjoy. Obviously a racing game... You pick out a flashy racing game, reading the title: Wonderbolts Unlimited 3 OK... You slot the disk into the console and slink down beside Rainbow Dash. Upon seeing the title of the game onscreen she quickly sits up in her seat. "OH! I love this game Lightning!" You look at the gaming history and find many thousands of hours clocked in on the game. "Evidently..." You quickly settle in, creating your own avatar and designing your own Wonderbolt around your image. You pimp up his stats and appearance, giving him a desirable likeness. "Come on Lightning; this is a racing game, not a dress-up game." "Just give me a minute, All champions need to look good." "Pff." You finish up customizing your pony and hit start. You let Rainbow Dash set up the game, scrolling through the mountain of items and settings. You barely catch some of the text. Decrypting it to be an agility race through a ravine or valley. "OK. Let's do this..." The loading sequence renders the world, revealing a rocky and thin canyon for a racing track. Both Rainbow Dash's and your character hover over the start line. You familiarize yourself with the controls, almost mastering it within seconds. you hear the in-game commentator give a countdown. 3 2 1 You push a joystick forward, hoping to shoot off to a start. Instead, your pony does a pathetic dive downwards, almost killing himself. Master at controls my ASS You lose a valuable head start to Rainbow Dash watching as her character swoops and dives through the guide rings. You catch up slowly, narrowly dodging the sharp, pointy rock formations. Your effort goes in vain. Before you manage to even catch up, the game enters cinematic mode. You watch as Rainbow Dash's uncanny resemblance of an avatar darts through the finish line. The character does a cheeky taunt to rub salt into the would. Balls to that. You continue to play countless rounds, racing across many different maps and terrains. You play sprints, cross countries and even a small wingball mini-game and lose at all of them. "Wow, Lightning. Even your computer you sucks." "Hahaha. Funny Rainbow Dash. Really, you are..." You stomp over to the console and smash the eject button. You grab the game disk, scowl at it and return it to its little box where it belongs. You quickly inset a new more recent game. Something of a personal favourite. Pony Fighter Reloaded AWWWW YEAHHH Both Rainbow Dash's and your avatar are cross compatable between games and your wonderbolts outfit quickly gives way to a more rugged but equally as tight looking combat suit. You hit ready and only wait to see what Rainbow Dash has to say about this game. "Come on Rainbow Dash. Afraid of losing?" You spot her character, all dressed up and ready to fight. Her pony stands in battle stance, ready to fight. You almost stare, mouth wide agape at the tight suit her pony was clad in. soo clopable... "Yeah. I know Lightning. My milkshakes brings and the colts to the yard." "We'll see about that." You click random on the settings and hit start. both ponies drop into a forest like clearing, facing each other for battle. "I am offering you a dignified surrender Rainbow Dash." "Kiss my Ass!" "With pleasure..." You push the joystick right, charging towards your opponent. A series of button mashing and skillful dodges later, you stand victorious over a knocked out or possibly dead opponent. It was hard to tell which. "I FUCKING CALL HACKS!!!" You stare at an enraged Rainbow Dash, you spot some rose in her cheeks as she gets annoyed but no steam from her ears yet. You pat her on the head. Like a Boss... "There there. best two out of three?" "Oh, you're dead now you little shit." She mashes the 'ready' button, aching for a rematch. This time you play defensive, toying around with her. You jump over her head, dodging her blows. You hear the frustration in her harsh treatment of the controller. You cant help but laugh a little inside. "I know you're enjoying this in your head Lightning." Awww snap. She catches you off guard, sneaking in a wild punch. It knocks you off game, losing you nearly a third of your health. You take no further risk, dispatching your foe and ending the second round. *Pant* *Pant* "How did you know what I was thinking?" "I didn't. I just needed a distraction." "Such a dirty player... Have you no ethics Rainbow Dash?" "Shut up and Ready up." You spot her hooves bashing at the start button, aching to beat the crap out of your character. You gladly hit start yourself and prepare for an enjoyable fun session. You play a few more rounds. Winning all but this one. As you play what looked to be another normal round, Rainbow Dash manages to grab a power up and starts beating your ass senseless. Her sneak attacks always gets you from behind, stunning your character for a few moments and allowing her you punch and kick at your rear end wildly. You lose in the worst possible way. You character ends face down in the dirt. "Ok. You win Dashie. GG." She ignore your comment, you look to her only to find her determined face getting some sort of enjoyment from the screen. You look back and find her avatar squatting over yours. Fucking Tea-bagging... "Yeah. THAT'S RIGHT! SUCK IT. YOU'RE MY BITCH NOW!" You facehoof. Unable to look at your defeated character having to face such a unforgiving opponent. You can only imagine the poor pony being forced into slavery by his victor. Yeah. As if that never happens in real life... You play a few more rounds, killing her and almost indefinitely winning. After each round you see her face getting a deeper shade of red. Yep, I see steam coming out now... You end with the most uncreative but memorable game winning kills. Your character sets up for a skull crushing move, weakening her health to one and stunning her. As she stands incapacitated, you mash a series of complicated buttons. You stare at the screen. Your pony walks slowly to her. He stares her in the eyes before giving a hard slap in the face. it does a minimal one damage. her pony falls over, it's right cheek pink from the hoof mark. What a finisher... Red text hovers on her half of the screen. GAME OVER. LOSER You cant contain your joy, falling over in agony as a warm fuzzy feeling of victory fills your heart. A winner is you! "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" You spot a fierce looking Rainbow Dash diving over to your half of the couch. However you feel hardly threatened. On the contrary, you feel a sharp sting in your abdomen due to all the laughing. You manage keep her off of you with one hoof as you clench your aching side with the other. She hurls a volley of vulgar insults at your direction as her hooves try and wring your neck. You use your hind legs to prevent her from coming closer. She starts to run out of steam, each lunge getting weaker and less aimed. You lock your hind legs, clamping hers together. You reach for her tummy, then to her side. going for the weak spot. *Tickle Tickle* Her anger turns to uncontrollable laughter as she tries to worm her way out of your tight grip. You make no intention of letting her go. She starts to break into a tear of laughter, unable to take the relentless waves tickles. "P-Please. Stop I-it. Lig-Lightning!" "Who's so Boss at gaming?" "W-what?" "Say it..." "Y-you. For Fu-fucks sake! Y-you!" "Damn Right!" You release you death lock on Rainbow Dash. She falls flat onto you. Her nose touching yours. You feel satisfied in your position as gamer of the year. "I hate losing." "And I love winning!" You get up and look again at her huge collection of games. Hoping to find something that wouldn't lead to you both ripping each other to shreds for the rest of the day, you uncover a somewhat dated co-op adventure game. You read the back of the case and indeed confirm a split screen co-op. "Quest for Adventure: The Lost Relic?" "I dibs the rogue class." "Warrior for the win Dashie." You insert the disk,returning to your seat, eager to play. Once again, your avatar is cross compatible and swaps his combat fatigues for a set of plate Armour. As the heaviest class in game you get the honour of using the mighty longsword. You both hit start, quickly plunging into a deep and rich story of an ancient relic lost within and forgotten land. You set of from your tutorial base and quickly set about to slay your first skeletons and giant spiders. "Kill it! Kill it" You watch Rainbow Dash squirm in her seat, trying to slay the creepy crawlies with throwing knives. You sense a mild disgust for arachnids of any sort. In an case, you bring your heavy longsword down on the eight legged creature, slicing its head off the body. The animated gore fills the screen with a plethora of goo and blood. "Grab the loot and hurry up Dash!" Her character runs about onscreen picking up random collections of bits, bone and power-ups. You continue moving through the lever, clearing stage by stage, any enemies in your path. You find it difficult to collect treasure due to your slow class and often lag much behind Rainbow Dash. "Come on Lightning. Cant that stupid pony go any faster." "Just. Keep going- I'm coming!" "That's all I ever seem to hear you say..." "Get your head out of the gutter Rainbow. I'm playing a fun game here." She giggles at her own immaturity and runs back towards your character. You keep moving forward, ignoring her unusual behavior. "Maybe this helps." Her character lunges at you with a knife, dealing minimal damage but pushing him forward a small bit. You stop and look and Rainbow Dash. The delight in her face reveals itself at her new found way of 'urging' you forward. She repeats the action, nudging your character along faster by a few pixels. "Stop that. You're damaging me." "Yeah, but you move faster see." You can only watch as her character takes jab after jab at your increasingly weak pony. Before you know it, you're down to barely ten hit points, a mere twelfth of your full health. "Sometimes Lightning, the only way to get a bull moving is to give it a-" She does it again. "-Little prod!" Your health drops to five, another hit and your out for the count. Screw this. You turn your near dead character around. Hitting a not to complex series of buttons, you watch as your pony unsheathes his weapon, revealing it's true destructive nature. He grasps it and keeps it low, rather than an overhead swing. You tap one button, causing him to thrust it deep into your partner. "Sometimes, Dash. If you poke the bull to hard; He turns around and fucks you up." She drops her dagger, unable to even stand. Collapsing in a heap, with longsword still in chest, your beloved and cherished team mate runs out of hit points. Before you can say anything, an arrow strikes your character on the back, incapacitating him. You fall over onto your bleeding companion, unable to be revived. If only you had a teammate to help you... A horde of zombie ponies shuffle onto screen, bearing down on you and Rainbow Dash. You both lie, incapacitated and unable to fight back effectively. You feel a hoof smack you on the side. "Ow. What?" "Look! Now we're both down and about to be eaten by a horde of zombies." Idiot. "Well... At least our characters dies together. See-" You point towards the red tinted screen; Both ponies lie almost on top of each other, wielding short swords for protection. You flail your weapon about hopelessly, killing maybe one or two foes. This could almost be romantic... almost. Your fight to the death ends quickly with the horde ripping both you and Rainbow Dash to shreds. You almost cringe at the gory sound effects and visual depiction of the undead feasting on your succulent bodies. "Well... I hope you tasted good Dashie." You look at her, shielding her face from the blood and gore onscreen. You hear a faint squeak come out from her mouth. She squirms up into a ball, unwilling to watch her avatar die painfully. You turn back to the screen, watching as the dead now rip out all sorts of internal organs from your carcasses. *bleh* You slowly creep up to Rainbow Dash's half of the couch, trying hard to mimic a shuffle and groan of the dead. You slide a hoof up her leg, leaning over her tucked in body. "RAWR" You clench her chest with your hooves, mimicking a bite at her ear. A little nibble to tease her. She lets out a terrifyingly cute scream, wriggling about in terror. "Don't eat my brains!" She lets out a series of weak and harmless slaps and punches at your head. This only drives you further, pushing her down onto the couch. "Lightning, S-stop! I ha-hate you now." You let go, ending your nibble of her ear. You breath onto her sweaty fur, ending with a lick to the cheek. "Jeez Lightning, When did horror ever turn you on?" "Come on Rainbow Dash, I know you liked it." She sits back up, hugging a pillow tightly.
