Month later

Dash could hear a beeping sound, opening her eyes, and see the very small cramp ship they were on. She looked out the window and could see an orange gas planet with an orange moon. She stretched and yawned but stopped as she realized she was cuddling with Twilight, who had short-haired, naked and still sleeping. She quickly remembered that they had sex, and she blushed brightly, cuddling her even more. She could smell the scent of sex and her lover's body scent, making her even hornier.

"Fuck, why is she so damn sexy?! She's the perfect woman! I just want to eat her up right here and now, damn it!" Dash thought, but quickly shook her head, getting her pervy thoughts out of her head. "Stop it, or I'm going to wake her up. She gets all mad if I wake her up too early."

Rainbow slowly let her go, got out of bed, stretched her body again, and finally turned off the alarm clock on the floor. She barely had to walk down the ship to reach the small kitchen. The ship wasn't very large, as the whole room she was in was a combination of the living area, dining room, kitchen, and bedroom, with a small bathroom in the back end and a closet. The kitchen was very small, barely fitting the sink, the microwave, and the coffee machine. She turned on the lights, took out a bag that said 'coffee' on it, threw a scoop of the black powder into the coffee maker, and turned it on. She then took out from the same cabinet a bag that had a picture of bacon and an egg and threw six strips of the fake meat and fake eggs into the microwave. She wasn't hungry yet, but knowing Twilight, she's going to wake up soon and complain if she hasn't made breakfast. As the microwave was heating up the fake meal and the coffee maker was brewing the coffee, Rainbow went over to the control panel, turned on the lights, and could see on the screen a model of the gas planet and its moon, which didn't have a name. Their first mission was heading to this moon, which had a desert-like environment and was home to the ruins of an old colony. The reason they were heading there was to check and see if there were any resources or valuable items in the colony.

"Man, collecting junk from old settlements. What a bummer! Couldn't we explore someplace, you know, interesting?" Rainbow thought, remembering that the reason she took this job was because she wanted to explore, not scavenge a dump. She was upset when she learned the truth from her girlfriend, but in the end, she didn't care and was actually happy for this.

She looked over to Twilight, and she was still sleeping but flipping around and exposing her breasts. Dash blushed but quickly looked away. Even though they were lovers, Dash still acted like a virgin around her, getting embarrassed easily and shy when she saw her nude.
The beeping of the microwave and coffee machine caught her attention, meaning their breakfast was ready. She took the fake bacon and eggs out, set them on a plastic plate, and poured the coffee into two plastic mugs, adding cream and sugar. As she was finishing up, she felt her ass being squeezed, which made her jumped up a bit, and could heard a chuckle.

"Good morning, my little rainbow." said a sleepy Twilight, squeezing and groping her ass more.

Dash blushed and tried to get Twilight's hand off her butt. "Twi, quit it."

"You love it, or you'll be using more force to remove my hand." teased Twilight, not removing her hand.

Dash puffs her cheeks up, being all mad. "I hate this! It feels like the roles have switched between us since we had sex on the day we met. You used to act like me before we became a couple, and now I'm the one being shy and flustered. How can you be so calm around me when we're naked?"

Twilight let go and took her meal and drink. "Because it's you, silly. When I'm around you, I can't help but love you and feel comfortable around you. You're my soulmate, after all. I've always been nervous around others, and you're the only one I'm this relaxed and happy around. Plus, it was your idea to be naked on the ship. Saying it will help you get over your shyness and learn how to relax around a naked girl, if I remember correctly." Twilight started to laugh as she sat back on the bed. "Tough-looking girl, but really acts like a cute little virgin around a naked girl. Oh, Rainbow, you're too cute."

Dash huffed and crossed her arms. "Shut up! You were acting the same way when you were a virgin! You were nervous and shy, always hiding your breasts and blushing like crazy!"

Twilight took a slip of her coffee and then said, "Yeah, our first time doing it, but not anymore, unlike you, Dash. Like you said, the roles have switched. Now I'm the confident one, while you're the shy one." Twilight started to laugh again as Dash puffed her cheeks harder, but she quickly looked away as Twilight puffed up her breast at her.

"Go take a shower and get dressed! We have to land soon!" Dash took a sip of her coffee and started eating her breakfast, still looking away.

Twilight took a bite of her food and a slip of her coffee and smiled, "Alright, dear~". Twilight put down her cup and food on the floor and headed towards the shower stall, but as she passed Dash, she slapped her buttocks.

"AH!" yelled Dash as Twilight chuckled and continued on her way.

Twilight looked back and winked at her girlfriend and said, "Just returning the favor, baby."

Rainbow's face was completely red, and she looked away as Twilight entered the shower. She could hear the sound of the water and the humming of Twilight voice. As she waited, she thought about their time together.
They had been together for a month now, even asking her to move in with her, as she hated how Twilight was living—in a crappy apartment, in a crappy part of the station, and living off a crappy job, which she was going to lose no matter what. But Twilight wasn't too keen on the idea at first; it was moving too fast, but eventually she agreed, and the two lived together.
It wasn't a huge place, a small one-bedroom apartment with a real living room, kitchen, bathroom, and storage closet. Rainbow just wanted her to be happy and safe, so she did whatever she could to make her happy.
Even though they had only known each other for a month, both felt a strong connection. They had sex many times, and they had done everything together while training for the "Lethal Company" unit. Even during their training, their feelings grew stronger.

Rainbow Dash knew this was a relationship that would last forever; after all, they were soulmates. She didn't know how or why, but she just knew. Even more so when she turned her arm around, revealing scars around her wrist. She remembered what Twilight asked her on the day when they got the jobs. Asking if she was suicidal, remembering the look Celestia gave her. She could tell they all noticed she wanted to end her life after losing 'her'.
She didn't want to die anymore. After she met Twilight, her feelings changed. She didn't want to kill herself, not when there's so much fun to be had and so much to do and see. There are so many adventures and stories waiting for them.
Rainbow looked back to the shower and could see Twilight was singing now. Rainbow smiled as she finished her food, got their work clothes out, cleaned the bed, and put the food in the stink.

Twilight slowly peeked out of the shower and smiled as she watched Rainbow being like a housewife, so much so that she had to comment on it, "Wow, look at my sexy housewife~"

Rainbow turned and puffed her cheeks. "Oh, shut it; I'm not your housewife."

Twilight laughed and went back to showering, but shouted out loud, "You will be one day~!"

Rainbow's face turned completely red, and she just kept on cleaning.

After an hour, the two were clean, dry, and clothed. Both had their space suits on. Dash's suit is blue, while Twi's was dark purple.

Rainbow had her helmet off and was checking it, while Twilight was checking information on the moon.

"Desert moon with ruins of an old settlement. It looks like the atmosphere is somewhat breathable, but it's going to get really hot soon, so we'll need the space suits." said Twilight, turning to Dash, who was on the bed, and spinning her helmet in her hands. "Try not to break your helmet. It's not going to be cheap to replace it as it's coming out of paycheck."

Rainbow looked at Twilight and sighed, "I know. I just want to have fun, not do some stupid scavenging. This is not why I joined this job."

Twilight got up, sat next to Rainbow, and rubbed her back. "I know, dear. Just try and think of this as a new adventure. Maybe we will find something exciting. Something we can keep, not just report and sell."

Dash looked up at Twilight and sighed, "Thanks, hun. I guess I'm just a bit tired. I didn't get enough sleep."

Twilight looked confused. "Why? We slept just fine." But it dawned on Twilight as she gave Rainbow a smile: "You wanted a third go at it, so don't be mad that you lack sleep."

Rainbow pouted and said, "Hey, don't blame me! You were the one who kept begging and saying 'more' and 'don't stop' and..."

Twilight quickly kissed Rainbow on the lips and said, "I know, my sweet little rainbow~ I was the one who begged, after all." Twilight started to laugh as Rainbow's face was bright red.

"Just put your helmet on! I'll do the same!" Dash said, taking her helmet and putting it on, while Twilight did the same. Soon, a HUD came online, showing their body on the top left, along with their weight in carrying whatever they found. Soon, a blue screen pop up, showing a certain quota they need to reach in three days.

"Wow, this is a lot. But the company did say that the pay will be better if we complete the goal. Still, how much are we going to bring? I doubt they want anything small." asked Dash, looking up at Twilight, who stood up and checked the main computer screen again.

"I don't know, but let's just start exploring this part here. I heard there are other teams in the area. We might see them if we're lucky. I can even have a water cooler talk with them!" said Twilight, pointing to a spot on the screen.

Dash sighed as she heard, "Great, a good reason for me to break my helmet then."

Twilight looked down and sighed. "You know, at first glance, you never look like an introverted type, nor would I imagine you wanting to be alone."

Dash shrug. "Hey, I like having my own space, and I hate dealing with annoying people. Just because I'm not a total introvert doesn't mean I want to socialize. I talked to you when we first met, after all. And besides, you're an introvert too, but you don't mind talking to others."

Twilight nodded. "Yes, true, but the difference is, I'm more social and not wanting to die the second they have to talk to a person."

Dash looked annoyed and said, "Shut it, smartass."

Twilight giggled and said, "Come on, let's go."

Twilight pulled the lever on the main computer, which also acted as the auto pilot to control the ship. The engines turned on, and the whole ship shook and rumbled as it was descending. As they were getting close, Dash could hear the beeping noise of the computer, letting them know they was about to land.

"Ok, we're here." said Dash, jumping off the bed and heading towards the storage closet. She took out flashlights and a supply bookbag, putting in a bottle of water, a few power bars, a small first aid kit, and two shovels, which she toss towards her girlfriend. She then went towards the weapons locker but stopped as her HUD showed the hazard level of this part of the moon. It was the lowest letter grade system, which was grade D; there were no dangers in this section of the area they were landing in.

"No need for a weapon, so let's keep the safety on." thought Dash as she put the handgun back and closed the locker.

"Alright, are you ready, Dash?" asked Twilight, standing by the door.

Dash nodded and said, "Yup, let's do this, babe."

Twilight pressed the button and the door opened, showing a light sand storm and rocky cliff sides.
Both girls jumped down, and Twilight quickly pressed a button on the ship, locking it.
Dash looked around and wasn't happy at all. Just as she predicted, it was just a desert area with the ruins of the colony. The wind was picking up, making it difficult to see.

"We need to find a safe place before the storm gets worse!" said Dash, her voice echoing in her helmet.

Twilight nodded. "Ok, the ruins shouldn't be far from here!" Twilight is trying her best not to get blown away by the wind.

The two slowly made their way through the area, finding the ruins were not that far from the landing site. It was a large gray building, and the entrance was above them; the only way up was a ladder.

"I'll go up first!" said Twilight, climbing up.

"Be careful." Dash whispered, fearing the old-looking ladder would break apart, but lucky for them, it didn't. Twilight looked at her, gave her a thumbs up, and then went inside the building. Rainbow followed her, and once inside, they could see the lights were still on, confusing Dash. "How is there still power? I thought this place was abandoned."

Twilight put her hand under her helmet gas mask and started to think, "Hmm, maybe the building has its own power source? This might be the reason why we're here. To investigate this building's power source and recover it."

Dash looked upset and said, "What!? So you're telling me we're collecting a stupid battery? What a waste of time."

Twilight rolled her eyes and said, "Dash, please don't be a brat. We have a job to do, and we're doing it."

"But still, a battery? That's mor-" Before she could finish, something dropped on her head and quickly wrapped itself around her head.

"AH! What the fuck!?" Rainbow yelled, panicking as her vision was blocked by the pink flesh and she felt bug-like legs on her shoulders.

"Dash, calm down!" said Twilight, holding her hand and trying to remove the creature from her face, but it wouldn't budge.

Dash let go of Twilight's hand and started to run in circles. "Calm down!? It's stuck to my head! It's like that movie! ITS GAME OVER! GAME OVER, MAN!"

Twilight sighed, knowing Dash would never change, even in a dangerous situation.

"Rainbow, please listen to me! Stop and take deep breaths, and let me get it off your face. It's just a Snare Flea. They're parasites, and they're harmless to us, as long as we're in our suits." Twilight was getting scared as Rainbow was running in a certain direction and bumping into the metal wall.

"Harmless!? I'm being blinded right now! And it's disgusting!" shouted Dash as she blindly ran down the hallway. "SAVE ME! HELP! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY A PARASITE!"

Twilight quickly chased after her, annoyed and scared for her safety. She kept screaming at her to stop running, but Dash didn't listen; instead, she was screaming and freaking out.

"Dash, listen to me; this isn't a joke! You're going to hurt yourself if you keep running! We don't have a map of this building! Please listen to me!" Twilight was almost caught up with her, but her foot got stuck in a hole and fell on her face. "OW! DAMN IT!" she yelled and quickly realized she had lost sight of Rainbow and was only hearing the echo of her screaming. "No! Rainbow, wait for me! I'll find you! Don't go into any room! JUST STAY OUTSIDE OF THE HALLWAY!"
Twilight stood up and tried to pin point the sound, but it was hard as the echo was bouncing around.
"Shit! Fuck! This is all my fault!" cursed Twilight as she ran through the corridor.

She ran and ran, hoping Dash would stop and stay still. She couldn't help but worry that Dash might be getting herself into trouble; after all, she wasn't known for thinking before acting, even when she was told to and freaking out.
"I have to find her. I have to. If I lose her, I won't forgive myself. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I let my soulmate die!? Rainbow, I'm coming for you!"

She kept searching, but soon she saw a small but cute-looking bug in front of her.

It was just looking at her, and then suddenly two other same-looking bugs walked by it, carrying Dash, with the Snare Flea still on her head. Dash and the flea were crying as they were being carried away.

Twilight quickly followed the three bugs. They turned down the hallway and stopped at a doorway. They place Rainbow inside the room and guard it.

Twilight slowly approached the bugs, making sure she wouldn't anger and make them attack her. She slowly kneeled down and gently touched one of the bugs, and it didn't react in anger. Just opened its arms and yelled "yippee!"

"So you're not a threat? Hmm..." Twilight looked inside the room and could see tons of junk inside. "Do they collect junk and hide it in this room? Maybe they think Dash and the flea are junk as well?" Twilight was amazed by these little creatures; not only were they carrying a woman who's wearing a space suit and is three times bigger than them, but they were also collecting and storing items. She took out her data pad and looked up to see if there was any information on them.
"Hmm, nothing but... I should have done a bit more research before we landed. But the company is the one that hired us, and they were the ones who gave the information. They really are cheap and lazy. At the very least, they knew about the Snare Flea." Twilight was still scrolling but stopped as she heard Dash and the flea coughing, waiting to be saved.
Twilight put the data pad back in her suit belt and said, "Ok, let's rescue my girlfriend. No way in hell, I'm letting some bugs stop me from getting her back." Twilight stared down at the three bugs, who stared back at her. She slowly entered the room, not sure if she was doing the right thing.

They didn't make any moves against her, but she was worried about how Dash was doing. She walked past the bugs, which moved away, and saw Dash and the Snare Flea sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by junk.

"Are you okay?" asked Twilight, but she was surprised when the flea answered her first, as it wobbled about on Dashie's head, only for Dash to smack it.

"HEY BUDDY! She's talking about me! NOT YOU! NOW GET OFF!" Rainbow screamed, trying to take the creature off her head.

Twilight sighed and lowered herself to her girlfriend. "Please calm down, Dashie! Your scaring the flea." said Twilight, slowly taking the bug off while looking at the data pad again and reading the information on it. "Oh, the information on it is amazing! Its body can produce silk, which can stick itself to walls and ceilings! Oh, the writer said they can make good milkshakes! They also said the Snare Flea was the reason why the colony failed!"

"That's awful!" replied Dash, with the flea agreeing as it made noises.

Twilight almost had the flea off. "I know, right? How did these little guys kill off the entire population of the colony!? It makes no sense unless they were used as weapons against them?"

Rainbow eyes were visible as Twilight almost got the flea off, and Rainbow did an eye roll and said, "What? No, I wasn't talking about the colony. I was talking about drinking this fucker as a milkshake. It sounds damn awful." The flea made agreement noise again, as it was about to be removed from Dashie head at long last.

Twilight finally got the Snare Flea off of her and wiggling in her hand. "There, you are safe now. Huh?" Twilight noticed the data pad scanning the room with all the junk and revealed something to her, which made her eyes light up. She was going to tell Rainbow, but the flea quickly got free from her hand and attached itself to Twilight's head, trying to kill her but clearly wasn't working, but Dash started to freak the fuck out.

"TWILIGHT! OH SHIT! OH GOD! YOUR HEAD! THE FLEA! IT'S GONNA EAT YOU! I HAVE TO KILL IT!" Rainbow yelled, trying to think of a plan to save her girlfriend, but Twilight was cool and calm as ever, as her helmet was protecting her. But Rainbow was in total panic mode, and the fact that Twilight wasn't panicking made her worry even more.

Twilight just laughed, trying to get the bug off her head. She couldn't help but tease Rainbow a little. "Help me! Save me, darling!"

Rainbow eyes were wide open, and tears were coming down. "I'M TRYING! THERE'S NO WEAPONS HERE, JUST JUNK! WAIT!" Dash quickly noticed the shovels on the side of Twilight's backpack. She grabbed one and got ready, but Twilight was having the time of her life and didn't know what Dash was going to do.

"Come on, Dashie, you can do it~" teased Twilight, as the flea was starting to get annoyed with its failed attempts to kill her.

"OKAY! DON'T MOVE, HONEY! I GOT THIS!" Rainbow was sweating, nervous about the idea she was going to pull off, but the adrenaline was flowing, and the fact that Twilight was still not freaking out was pissing her off. "I'M GONNA SAVE YOU!" Dash swung the shovel and smacked the flea and Twilight head, causing her to fall to the ground, shocked that Dash hit them. She could feel the shovel hitting her head as red blood from the flea started to cover her visor. Soon, she could see the flea dropping off, and was dead.

"Dash, yo-" Twilight felt the shovel hitting her head. She realized that Dash had her eyes closed as she kept swinging the shovel, not seeing that she had gotten it off. "Dash!" Twilight yelled and tried to grab the shovel but couldn't. Dash kept smacking away until she finally stopped and opened her eyes. Seeing Twilight in a family guy's death pose.

"I saved you!" cheered Dash as the shovel slipped from her hands, making a loud clang noise when hitting the ground. The three bugs quickly took it and held it as they stared at the girls.

Twilight didn't move; only her head was twitching a little.

"Umm... Twilight, are you okay? honey?" Rainbow was worried that she had gone overboard. She lowered herself onto her knees and turned her around. Dash could see she was knocked out and had a little bit of blood. Dash gasped and started to shake her. "Twilight, please wake up! You're the smart one here! Don't leave me alone with these bugs! Please! I'm sorry, baby!" Dash was on the verge of tears. She looked back at the bugs, who were just watching them and waving at her, and then back at her unconscious girlfriend. She held her up and ran for the exit. The bugs watched her run away, and they looked at each other, wondering if they had done anything wrong.

Rainbow ran through the building, finally finding the exit and making her way to the ship. She got on, and the ship's automatic system took off as it started to fly away. Rainbow placed her girlfriend on the bed and was checking her head wound, which wasn't bleeding anymore.

"Twilight, please wake up! I need you! You're the one that helps me out when I'm not sure what to do!" Dash cried, trying her best not to cry too hard.

It won't be until nighttime when Twilight will finally wake up. When she woke, she found the medicine kit on the bed, and everything inside of it was all over the bed. Among the stuff was Dash sleeping on her side, hugging her tightly.
Twilight sighed and turned to the ceiling, remembering the huge amount of valued scrap in that room. She could only say one thing.

"Fuck me..."
