What have I gotten myself into?! I thought to myself. I thought this was going to be a normal dinner conversation, but here I am with Lyra while she’s trying to kiss me. She’s STILL making eye contact with me and boy is it getting uncomfortable.

“Would you look at the time, I better get going” But before I could move she grabbed my t-shirt with her mouth and replied.

“You're not going anywhere mister, you still owe me answers!” She then walked towards me with a seducing smiled and said
“You know, we should discuss this in my place… what do you think?”

Great, I’m gonna get raped by a pony!

We then started our trek toward Lyra’s cottage. I honestly would have run by now, but I didn't feel like hurting her feelings. My best bet is to avoid what she’s about to do to me.

“Well, here’s my place”, said Lyra. I looked around and saw that it was indeed a pretty nice place. I noticed a picture frame of Lyra and Bon-Bon and I looked back at her, gesturing toward it.

“Oh, I almost forgot, Bon-Bon is my roommate!”

“You two look like very good friends!”

“We are! We've known each other for a while.”

We then walked to the kitchen “Mind if I offer you some water?”

I shrugged and replied “sure”. While I sat down on the chair waiting for my drink, I looked around and lost myself in thought again.

I sure hope nothing goes too extreme here! Like, sure she’s cute, but I’m not gonna rush things this quick?

Lyra then returned with my drink and smiled. I grabbed the glass and took a drink and I looked beside me to see that Lyra was watching me drink. Weird?

“You know Josh, you're not like the stallions here”, I turned to her and replied

“...what do you mean?” I asked.

“I mean, you call me cute and beautiful and no male has called me that before. I've been waiting for a stallion to say some nice things about me and you take the cake! For a human you really know how to make a lady feel special”. She then came close to my face and tried to kiss me but I got up quickly.

“Well, it’s been a long day! I think I should get going now-“ Before I was about to leave, I saw her giving me this sad puppy face.

Oh god! Not with the face!

“I thought... you really liked me.” I then decided to comfort her and replied “Don't be like that Lyra, I DO like you... as a friend.” I felt really bad saying no to her. Stroked her mane and she seemed to enjoy it.

“Mmmm, your hands DO feel nice!” I stopped and replied.

“Thanks for the dinner Lyra, but I don't want Twilight to worry about me.” Lyra then looked at me with a disappointed face.

“She worries about you? Are you two dating or something?”

“What, NO!? I just live with her and she thinks I’ll get lost and what not.” Lyra then nodded and smiled.

“Well... I guess you're free to go now, but on one condition.” I wonder what that condition is?! I shrugged and replied.

“Whatever it is, just make it quick!” She then came close to me and whispered.

“You have to give me a kiss.”

Figures...

“Fine, but only on the cheek!” I said.

“FIIIINNE!” she pouted. I then lowered my head and gave her a nice kiss on the cheek. It really didn’t last that long, probably because I wasn't into it like she was. Finally, I broke the kiss.

“There, you happy?” she blushed and smiled

“Much better now”.

We both made our goodbyes and I headed back to Twilight’s.

As I was walking, I noticed Rainbow Dash clearing the sky. I waved my hand and she waved back. She then landed in front of me, wings tucking in at her sides.

“Hey Josh, how was your day?”

I shrugged.“It was... ok” She started coming closer to me

“Are you suuuure nothing happened much today?”

What is she talking about?

“I assure you Dash that nothing interesting happened”

“Really, cause from what I've heard, you had a little date with Lyra”

How does she know that?!
“Look, it was only for a project. Lyra wanted to know about humans an-” I was cut off by Dash’s in front hoof in my mouth.

“Save it Josh, I hope you two are happy together!” Now she sounded really upset.

“What are you talking about?! Lyra and I are JUST friends; it was just a dinner talk.” Rainbow calmed down a bit.

“So you two were just talking about humans!?” I sighed in relief and replied.

“YES, why are you so uptight about it?!” She didn't answer me right away; she just looked at the ground, her face red with embarrassment.

“Well Dash, I’m waiting?” She slowly raised her head a bit and said something I couldn't understand.

“I...Like you”

“What did you say? I didn't hear you.” I said as I looked down at her. She raised her head a little more and said and raised her voice to just above audible.

“I like you”. I STILL couldn't figure out what she was saying.

“One more time please!”

She finally looked at me straight, her eyes bore into mine.

“I LIKE YOU, OK!” I stood there in shock.

“As a F-Friend right?!” She shook her head and replied.

“No... more than a friend!”

I was afraid you would say that!

“But... why me? Out of ALL the stallion’s out there, why choose an alien?!” She smiled. Her eyes seemed to gleam for just a moment, a spark in them.

“Ever since you complimented me on my looks I feel... good inside. And when I’m around you I feel happy. No stallion had ever done that to me.”

“Really?”

She nodded with a reply,There was an awkward silence for a while.

“So...” I turned to Dash.

“So...” She came closer.

“How do you feel?” To be honest, I don't know how I feel. I got a pony that had a crush on me, and I don't know what to think of it. I rubbed the back of my neck.

“Ummm, I don't know how I feel Dash. Like, I'm flattered really! But I just need some time to think about it.”

“That's ok Josh, take the time you need. I just wanted to let you know how I feel about you.”

“Well, I’m glad you did... I’ll see you later dash ok”

“Sure thing Josh...” Rainbow then flew off into the sky. I sat there, thinking.

What... The... hell?!

I then walked back to Twilight’s to tell her the reason why Dash was acting weird.

When I arrived at Twilight’s I took a deep breath and opened the door. I noticed Twilight sitting there reading a book.

“Oh hey Josh, glad you're here! I think I just figured out why Rainbow is acting all strange, I just read here in this book that-”

“Dash has a crush on me...”

“...”

Twilight put the book away. “Never mind this then, anyway, what did you just say?”

“Rainbow. Has. A. Crush. On. Me!” Twilight didn't reply right away, she just gave me a blank stare.

“Oh... well that’s not so bad...”

“Oh good, I was just about to say that you look kinda -”

“SHE HAS A CRUSH ON YOU!!!” And here comes the freak out. Twilight trotted back and forth murmuring to herself.

“I can't believe this! Rainbow’s first Crush...and with a human!”

“Twilight let’s not make this out to be such a big deal-” She stopped, suddenly and turned.

“But it IS a big deal! This is Rainbow’s first crush and I’m going to help!”

“Ummm, I don't think I need help with-” but before I can say anything else Twilight began again.

“Did you tell Rainbow how you feel? Tell me that you did!”

“Well I didn't really say anything, but-”

“But nothing! Rainbow has feelings for you and you should do the right thing and tell her how you feel.”

While Twilight may have a point, I've watched the show and have never seen Rainbow dash in a relationship. And I’m the only human here! So might as well go for the best of it.

“You know what Twilight, you're right” Twilight looked at me, surprised.

“Really? Well that’s good! Are you gonna tell Dash?”

“I will later. I just want to relax for a bit.”

“Sure thing Josh, take all the time you need” I then walked upstairs to my room to think about today. I jumped onto my bed and just stared up at the ceiling.

What should I do? Should I tell her that I love her, even though that I don't feel that way about her? What to do, what to do… I just settled on taking a little nap.

***

“Wake up Josh” I woke up to hear somepony calling my name. When I opened my eyes all I could see was a blur. A tall and dark blue pony was standing in front of me. When I rubbed my eye’s I saw the pony calling my name.

“Princess Luna?!”

“Yes Josh it is I, Princess Luna”

“What are you doing here?”

"I am the princess of the night, thus it is my duty to come into your dreams." I kinda forgot that she goes into pony’s dreams. At first it seemed a little weird, but decided not to judge what she does for a living.

“So why are you here, in my dream?”

“I never had gotten the chance to meet you when you were at Canterlot. I was busy elsewhere with my royal duties.”

“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you Luna.” I then felt that I had made a mistake by calling her Luna and panicked.“

“I- I mean Princess Luna!” Luna looked at me, head tilted in question, also managing a smile

“It’s quite alright Josh; I don’t mind being called Luna.” I was sort of relieved when she didn't mind being called Luna. It seems that I call everypony with a shorter name, guess it’s just a habit.

“So Luna, Just in case you were wondering about humans we-”

“It’s quite alright Josh; Twilight sent us the book about humans. I have to say it quite… interesting.”

“Well I’m glad you like it.” I didn't know what else to say, so I decided to ask her about her day.

“So... how was your day?” She looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

“Quite fine, how about you?”

“Jeez where to begin?” A lot happened today I couldn't really explain to her, but then I decided why not!

“So you want to know my day today? Well here’s how it went out…”

After telling her about my day with Lyra, and the whole Rainbow dash having a crush on me, she kinda gave me a blank look.

“I guess that was a weird day for you.”

Tell me about it!

“So Luna, is there anything else you want to discuss.”

”Josh... how do you feel about Rainbow Dash?” Really?!

Really, this again?!

At first I didn't want to answer her about Dash but she being the princess and all. I should probably answer her question. I sighed. “Well, she’s very loyal , Cool, pretty chill, and my best friend! I really don't know what else to say to her but I guess you can say I-”

“Love her?”

I was surprised that she thought I was gonna say that! I was gonna say I think she’s the best friend that anyone could ask for.

“No, I love her, but not in that way. Why would you think that?”

“Because I’ve been in Rainbow dash’s dream and noticed it was of you”

I hope she’s not having THAT kind of dream of me!

“Oh...she does, does she?”

“Indeed Josh”

I was kinda surprised she dreams of me, it’s not like I've been here all my life. All I did was act nice to her and NOW she has a crush with me! It’s not like I have a problem with that, it’s just so... weird and it’s also weird thinking about it. How would you feel if a pony you only knew for around 5 days has a crush on you, pretty confusing if you ask me?

“Ummm, I’m not sure If I love Dash in that way Luna. I find it really hard to accept that.”

“You know Josh, Rainbow dash may not be human, but she still has feeling’s.” She made a good point. She still has feelings, kinda like humans have feelings. And it’s not like I’m gonna see another human female anytime soon… the hell with it!

“You know what Luna, you're right, she has feelings for me. I should at LEAST give her a chance. Thanks for the talk” Luna smiled down at me.

“You're quite welcome; it’s been nice talking to you too.”

***

When I awoke looked at the clock, 11:42 pm. I decided to go find Twilight. When I went downstairs I saw her re-stocking the shelves with Spike. She then noticed me coming down the stairs.

“Josh, why are you awake?” I could ask you the same thing.

“Hey Twilight, do you know where Dash is going to be tomorrow?”

“She’s usually flying around somewhere, why?”

“Because I’m gonna tell her that I love her.” Twilight stood there in shock and her magic stopped, making the books fall on Spike.

“How come you JUST now realized it?”

“Let’s just say a visitor came into my dream and we had a nice talk.” Twilight’s eye lit up and replied.

“You met Princess Luna?! What did she say?”

I told her that Luna wasn't in Canterlot when I was around and the day I've been having. I also mentioned Dash. When I finished telling my dream to Twilight she seemed to be really happy.

“Well I’m glad you had a nice chat with her and I’m also happy to know that you're gonna give Dash a chance to love you.”
“Well I’m glad too, it’s not like I’m gonna see another human female anytime soon.”

“Exactly.”

We both went upstairs to our own rooms and went to bed. As I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling again I thought to myself:
Well this is it, tomorrow I’m gonna tell Dash that I love her. After all, she’s been a very good friend to me! I might as well give this human and pony relationship a go and see how it turns out. Until then, I’ll have to think of what to say to her.

Author's Note

I know the feeling's seem rushed...but I didn't have the patience to wait anyway.

also my school work has been a little bust so I may be a little slow with updates, around 2 weeks or so...

But stick around for MORE :)
