I woke up as usual,...except Twilight was still cuddling me.I moved her a bit to wake her up, slowly she opened her eyes and yawned.

“Wha-what is it?” It took her the shortest of times to realize that she was still cuddling with me, which made her blush and got up.

“S-sorry...”

“That’s ok Twilight. I didn't know I made a good pillow.” I teased her.

“Very funny. So... want breakfast?”

“Yes, please.”

So we had our usual breakfast, with buttered toast and eggs, as usual.Turning to the assumed little chef I said, “Nice cooking Spike!”

Spike swallowed a bite of toast and replied “It wasn't me that cooked... it was Twilight!”

I turned to her “Really now?”

“I just thought it would be nice, for me to cook for a change.”

“Well, you did a fine job Twilight!”

She blushed on my compliment and continued eating.As I finished my breakfast, I took a seat on the couch waiting for Dash to show up.Twilight sat next to me, trying to avoid looking at me.

“Uhm Twilight... Is everything ok?”

Slowly she looked at me with a light smile and said.

“I just wanted to thank you, for what you said last night.”

“...No problem Twilight. If you ever need someone to talk to... just let me know!”

I messed her hair up a bit to cheer her up. Right than she then moved closer to me, which started to get uncomfortable.
I might as well tell her something right now.

“Look Twilight, I know you like in that way, but I’m already involved with Rainbow.”

She looked at me confused and replied “What are you speaking about?”

“Twilight... I know you have a crush on me, but... it has to stop!”

She just stared at me blankly for a moment... and then started laughing like hell.

Why was she laughing?!

As she finally calmed down, she said. “I don't have a crush on you, Josh!”I looked dumbfounded and replied.

“You don’t?... Then what was the cuddling, and the blushing and wreaking my bed for?!”

“Well the bed thing was just so I can cuddle you... but you're like a big brother to me. My brother Shining Armour used to let me cuddle with him when I was little, scared or lonely!”

Cuddling with your brother?... weird... but sweet.

“So ya, maybe I flirted with you, But its like a best friend flirting...”

I took Twilight’s word for it and replied

“I guess you're right Twilight, sorry for mistaking this whole thing.”

“No problem... anyway when is Rainbow gonna show up?”

“Well I didn't really told her what time... I guess-”

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door and I opened it. It was Rainbow Dash with a bright smile on her face.

“Hey Josh!, Ready for the best date ever!” I smiled and replied

“You bet I’m ready to spend time with my favorite marefriend!” We gave each other a quick kiss and head off to the park.We had a picnic in the park with some pie and apples.It was a perfect day for a picnic!

While relaxing on the ground I saw Rainbow curled up beside me and said “I’m glad that we can spend more time together.”

I wrapped my left arm around her and replied “me too Dash..me too”.

After the picnic we decided to go on a nice walk around Ponyville. I noticed, most ponies looking at us, figuring if we are together... which we are.But, I figured, I should let the town figure it out themselves.We arrived at Sugar-cube-corner and noticed Pinkie at the counter.

“There’s the cute couple! What can I get you two?!?”

I stepped for “We would like two chocolate shakes, please.”

“Okie dokie!”

So we picked a table and sat down.We looked at each others eyes while waiting for our drinks. I spoke “So... hows your special day so far?...” She smiled and replied

“It’s awesome!” She blushed and got closer to me, to suddenly steal a kiss…

“HEY GUY’S! Here are your milkshakes!”

The total buzzkill...

“Thanks Pinkie.” said Dash.

We both started drinking our shakes, shortly after Dash said

“Remember, we had our first date here...” I chuckled at that comment and pointed out

“Technically it was for science... but I guess so.”

We share our conversations and laugh at them.After we finished up, I left the bits on the counter and we head outside.
“So Dash... what else do you wanna do?”

She stopped for a moment and turned to me with a seductive look, while leaning in close to me and whispered in my ear.

“Let’s head to my place. I wanna show you something...” What she said made my spine chill.

Nervously I replied “I... don’t know how I can g-get up in your cloud house, if I can’t f-fly.”

She taped her hoof to her mouth, a quite cute thinking gesture, thought about it and then replied “I’ll be right back.”
She flew up,... I waited.

A few seconds later I see a puffy cloud moving towards me and notice Dash lowering it.

She said “Get on!” I looked at it and than gave Dash a look that say’s ‘Are you serious?!’

She sighed and said “Trust me... It will work... ” Then, to tease me a bit, she got close to my face and started making a sad face.“ You do trust me... do you?”

“...Of course Dash... I trust you with all my heart.”

Next thing I know, I hopped on and quickly Rainbow lifted the cloud.I looked down and saw a good view of the village and the pony’s look like ants.As we arrived, I notice her cloud house, it was impressive and I said “This place looks amazing! It’s like a mansion!” She blushed and replied.

“Well, I wouldn't say mansion.”

“Well, but it does!”

“Just wait till you see the inside.”

When I followed her inside, I saw that everything was made of clouds... well maybe not everything, but still pretty amazing.
I noticed Dash walking up stairs saying to me “Come to my room, big guy!... I wanna show you something...” My heart was pacing a bit and I tried to stay calm.

Step by step, I walked up the cloudy stairs and in front of her room.

And so I entered her room, I couldn't tell where she was, until she said to me from somewhere. “Relax on the bed babe, I’ll be right out.” I sat on the couch and watched the bathroom door.

What is she doing in there?!... Is she doing what I think she’s doing?!...Or is she gonna dress all sexy for me and have her way with me?!...No..it can’t be!... Just play cool Josh!...You can do it... whatever she’s about to do... you need to be there for her.

After a minute waiting, she asked me in a seductive voice “Ready Babe!... You're gonna like what you see…” I braced myself for what was gonna happen.

The door slowly opened and when I saw Dash she was holding... HOLDING!...

A book…

She started laughing hard and said “I got you good! HAHAHA!” This was the second time I thought I was gonna get raped... She then stopped laughing and sat next to me... she showed me the cover of the book.

“This is the new issue of Daring Doo!”

“Cool... Why do you wanna show me this?”

“I was wondering... If you wanna... read it to me.” She said while trying to hide her blush from me.

I looked at her with a confused look and replied “how come, you want me to read it?..” She then sighed and answered my question.

“I was wondering if you could read it to me, while I lay on your lap, while you stroke my mane..”

“..........Ok then, Just get comfy and I’ll start reading.”

She smiled and laid on my lap while I opened the book to the first Chapter.She looks so cute when she’s so relaxed... I then began reading the first Chapter to my favorite pony in the whole world... Rainbow Dash.

“Ok, Chapter one.’Daring Doo and the legendary skull’. Daring Doo started her adventure with-”

When I finished the book, I noticed Dash half asleep.
I stroked her mane and kissed her forehead. carried her and placed her correctly into her cozy bed. I tucked her in and watched her sleep in peace... she grabbed her bed sheet and smiled.

I swear. to. GOD! This made me wanna have a heart attack of adorableness!

I then scooted over next to her and decided to have a little nap.

Today is the best day of my life!... I couldn't be happier.

I felt Dash’s head on my chest, which putted a big smile on my face.So I placed my hand on her mane and continue my nap.
After an hour I woke up with noise coming from outside. I gently left the bed, leaving Dash asleep. I went outside from the house and notice a black smoke coming from the Everfree Forest.

Fire!...I need to warn somepony!.

“Help us!”

I heard a noise coming from the forest, discovering that somepony was in trouble!So I tried getting down but couldn't... so I use the same cloud Dash used to lift me up.I moved it and the cloud gently moved down... Wish it can go faster!
When I landed on ground, I rushed to the dangerous fire to rescue whoever was in there.

When I enter the woods it was hard to breath, due to the smoke.
I covered my mouth with my T-shirt and continue searching. “Josh!” I turned to my left to see three little fillies... the crusaders, trapped under a tree.

Luckily the tree wasn't on fire... yet.I rushed towards them and tried lifting the tree up. “C'mon Josh! You can do it” said Scootaloo. I then decided to move the end of the tree and moving it.Luckily, it worked!
Two of the crusaders ran away and got out of the forest, but Scootaloo was still laying down.Which really worried me, I rushed towards her and said.

“Why aren't you moving?!”

“I can't move my left forehoof.”

Shit! She probably broke her hoof. Time for plan A!

I then lifted her up and carried her, we both tried to find our way out of here... I just hope we make it out alive.

*Third Pony View*

Everypony was outside the forest watching the fire in horror. The group were together with worries. They then notice Applebloom and Sweetie Belle running out of the forest.Applejack and Rarity rushed towards them and hugged them.

“Applebloom!, Thank goodness you're ok!”

“Sweetie Belle don't scare me like that!... I was SO worried”

Now they notice Scootaloo wasn't with them.

Applejack said “Where’s Scootaloo?!” The two turned to each other and had worried looks.

“We don’t know..she must be still in there with Josh” Sweetie Belle said.

“JOSH!” yelled the rest of the group, except for Rainbow Dash.

“We gotta do something!” said Apple Jack.

“There is nothing we can do... we just have to wait and see...” Said Twilight and thought to herself. C'mon Josh!... Get out of there while you still can!

*Josh’s Point of View*

I had a hard time breathing while still trying to find a way out of here.Right in the last moment I notice an open path and saw some light. I knew this would be our ticket out of here.So I walked as fast as I could while holding Scootaloo. As I got close to the exit I notice a big tree branch falling on to me. In an reflex I threw Scootaloo out of the way so she can escape.

The branch felled on me and it hurt like a hell!I tried moving it but, it was burning already.
So I quickly moved the branch off of me, but unfortunately I burned hands a bit, but still made my way to the exit.

As I left the forest, I notice everypony staring at me, Then one pony clapped for me, then another, then another, then the whole town clapped for me for my bravery.

I smiled a bit for what I did... but I than looked on my hands to see a bit of blood.Immediately I started to feel dizzy and everything started to feel like a blur. I felt down on the ground and looked up at the blue sky.

I tried to stay awake but my eyes were half shut...

I heard one of the pony's yelling “He’s hurt!.” and another saying “Take him to the hospital!”.
Then I tried seeing who said it, but slowly my eye’s were shutting.

Now I see nothing but black... Complete blackness.


Author's Note

Good New's: I have better luck writing each Chapter a 1000 words long or more.. so It doesn't take that long to wait...depending if I have the right time.

Bad New's: School starts Wednesday..But its my last year in high school. so i'm looking forward into it. But it MIGHT slow down my writing.
