Love, why would you do this?

Authors note: I'm so glad that some people like to read my stuff. I'll be trying to do some longer chapters but I can't make any promises. From now on I'll be warning you guys if there is any mature content in this chapter. None in this one though. Enjoy the story everyone!

Dusk felt like he was about to explode. Once he was introduced to all of Applejack's family Dusk was implored to stay for brunch. He initially refused but he had changed his mind when a small yellow filly gave him puppy eyes that, on a scale of one to ten, was roughly seven thousand and forty-three.

Spike was out cold on Dusk's back and was probably not going to wake up any time soon. Dusk sighed and carried on trotting through Ponyville.

As he walked he looked up at the sky and tutted in annoyance, a pony called Rainbow Blitz was supposed to be clearing the sky for tomorrow's festival and the sky was still dotted with dozens of clouds. As Dusk was lost in his thoughts he didn't notice as a rainbow seemed to be rocketing towards him at almost supersonic speeds. In fact, he only noticed when a voice called "Look out below!" but by then it was too late. Dusk and another pony were lying tangled in a mud puddle. The other pony got up and shook the mud off of him and right onto Dusk. It was a cyan Pegasus stallion with a multicolored prismatic mane and a rainbow colored lightning bolt for a cutie mark. He was lithe and fit and Dusk could see the muscles rippling under his skin.

Spike woke up with a start a few feet away as he was knocked off. He looked over towards Dusk and the mystery Pegasus and started to giggle. Dusk was covered head to hoof in mud. Before too long the cyan stallion began to laugh as well before stopping himself.

"Uh... Sorry about that." He said, holding in laughter. "I... Wasn't looking where I was going" He had tears in his eyes and was obviously straining himself not to laugh. He flew up quickly and grabbed a nearby cloud. He pushed it so that it was floating directly above Dusk. "Let me get that for you" He said as he gave the cloud a quick kick. A sudden deluge erupted from the bottom of the cloud, soaking dusk to the bone. When the Pegasus looked back towards the unhappy, sopping wet lilac stallion it was all he could do not to laugh loud enough to wake up everypony in Neigh Zealand.

The iridescent Pegasus was giggling quietly to himself and then his face seemed to light up like a bolt of lightning had just struck him in the flank, blowing the metaphorical light bulb that was glowing above his head. A maniacal grin spread across his face and he looked at Dusk with eyes dripping with mischief.

"I know!" He said, looking like he had just come up with the best idea since sliced bread. "I'll give you the special 'Rainbow Blitz blow dry'!" He said, cackling evilly as he flew up into the air. He started to fly around in circles, slowly accelerating as the loops got tighter and tighter, closing in on Dusk. The winds around the lilac stallion started to pick up noticeably and soon a full-fledged tornado was swirling around a terrified Dusk. Eventually the gale-force winds died down and Rainbow Blitz became visible again.

The cyan coated stallion was laughing openly now and as soon as Spike got a look at his big brother, he was too.

"What?" asked Dusk, oblivious to what the pair were laughing at.

"Pfft! Your mane! Oh my Celestia your mane looks ridiculous!" Spike cried out, only managing to stop himself laughing to say those two sentences.

Dusk pulled a mirror from his saddlebags and immediately saw what the two were laughing at. His mane looked like a family of birds had been nesting in it, for years. Clumps of his hair were sticking out at odd angles and he looked like he had been put through a hedge backwards.

Dusk just looked at the stallion that had called himself 'Rainbow Blitz' in despair.

"So, you're Rainbow Blitz then?" Dusk asked, obviously irritated.

"Yep!" He said with a smug smirk. "Fastest flier in all of Equestria!" His smirk got immediately ten times as smug. "So who're you? Some sort of groupie?" He asked, not managing to hide the fact that he was checking Dusk out very well.

Dusk started blushing and tried to to calm himself down. "No!" He yelled. This drew a satisfied laugh from Rainbow Blitz, this was not going to be fun. "I'm called Dusk Shine, I'm Princess Celestia's protege and I'm in charge of checking up on all of the preparations for the summer sun celebration." He got out quickly. Dusk realized something, the Pegasus in charge of the weather team was standing in front of him. He looked up at the sky and saw more than a few clouds floating about.

"Say..." Dusk started. "Aren't you the Pegasus in charge of the weather team?" Dusk looked up at the sky once again. "You couldn't possibly be the fastest flyer in Equestria if you leave the sky looking like that!"

Rainbow Blitz looked like he had never been more offended by anything in his entire life. "Am too the fastest!" He yelled, Dusk laughed at this display of childishness. "And I'm gonna join the Wonderbolts someday!"

Dusk laughed and looked up to the Pegasus above him, lounging on a cloud. "Why would the Wonderbolts want to take a Pegasus that can't keep the sky clear for one measly day?" Rainbow Blitz narrowed his eyes and launched himself off of his cloud.

"Hey! I could clear the sky in ten seconds flat!" He yelled.

Dusk's eyes narrowed too. "Prove it."

Rainbow Blitz shot off faster than a blink of the eye. His movements were a blur, the only time you could see him properly was when he stopped for less than a second to kick a cloud into nonexistence.

When he finally settled back onto the ground he wore an expression even more smug than before. Spike seemed to have pulled out a stopwatch from somewhere and was running over towards the two stallions.

"Nine point eight seconds!" He yelled breathlessly as he reached the pair.

Dusk's jaw seemed to touch the ground and he couldn't even get any words out. "See?" Rainbow said smugly."Ten. Seconds. Flat." He laughed again and walked over to Dusk. "Hey, you seem pretty cool! I know we're gonna be the best of friends!

Friends? I don't want friends!

He leaned in closer and dropped his voice to a whisper. "Or maybe more..." He said seductively. He walked away laughing at the flustered lilac stallion.

"Dusk?" Spike asked, clueless as to what just happened. "Big bro? Earth to Dusk!"

Oh my... He thought, before fainting for the second time in two days.
