One Step at a Time

Chapter 4

*RAINBOW DASH'S POV*

I sat on my cloud, in thought. Poor Pinkie thought that we hated her. It was the complete opposite. We talked at the tree without her because the conversation we were talking about is my crush on here. Oh well, one step at a time; Pinkie will eventually know what I feel about her which is a true fact. I'm just scared of the results at the end.

Oh Pinkie Pie. I thought to myself. Why do you have to be so cute and adorable that I ended up having a crush on you, or even more than that...falling in love with you? Everypony knows about my crush on Pinkie, except for her which is kinda frustrating, especially over the fact that I can't find the courage to tell her myself. I, Rainbow Dash is always ready for a challenge, adventure and danger but can't face a challenge of telling somepony that I love them. Ugh. Impossible.

I groaned in frustration. "OH FOR PETE'S SAKE. WHY IS IT SO DAMN HARD TO TELL A PONY THAT YOU LOVE HER?!" I cried out loud, not giving a care if anypony heard me. Pushing my thoughts aside, I decided to take a nap to relieve my head.

"Oh Dashie.." said a voice.

"Who's there?" I asked as I looked around my surroundings.

"It's meee. Pinkie Pie." It was her. MY CRUSH. She was on the cloud next to me, batting her eyelashes at me.

How the heck can she sit on a cloud when usually, earth ponies cannot sit or stand on clouds? Oh. Typical Pinkie. There is something strange about her that I really don't get. Despite that, I'm happy that I have her all to myself onto my own cloud.

"Whatcha doing here, Pinks?"

"I'm here to snuggle!" she smiled as she cuddled against my chest. i can literally feel my cheeks burn hot and sparks in my body like if I'm about to be shocked at any moment. Can this last forever?

I wrapped my hooves around her and planted a sweet kiss on her head.

"I love you, Pinkie Pie." I murmured. Before Pinkie can say anything back to me, she began to fade right in front of my eyes.

"NO PINKIE! PLEASE! DON'T GO! STAY!" I pleaded as I did whatever I could to hold on to her and prevent her from leaving my arms.

"NOOOOO!" I woke up abruptly to reality on a cloud all by myself, except for from cricket noises nearby. I groaned. Ugh, it was just a dream. It seemed so real, why does awesome dreams like that always fade at the good part?
