Starting Over

It was the day after estrus was over. Spectra was with Rainbow the entire time doing....well, each other. Spectra wasn't in total agony like the rumours said. They must of been trying to keep stallions from getting some or something like that. Spectra actually enjoyed it! Except he was a little nervous the first night. Mainly because-

"Ohmygoshomygoshomygosh! Spectra! I am SO sorry! I had no right tricking you like that into getting into bed with me! Can ya forgive me, pleeeeease?"

Spectra and Rainbow were sitting on the edge of their cloud bed and Spectra was tired, Rainbow was sad and afraid Spectra wouldn't forgive her. Spectra waves a hoof.

"Rainbow, I forgive you. There was a slight problem with what you did though...."

Rainbow looks worried. "What's that?"

Spectra turns to Rainbow. "It....it was my first time....."

Rainbow suddenly looks MEGA bucking sad and regretful.

"I....I....I didn't...I'm so sorry...."

She looks down at the cloud floor. "I am so sorry Spectra. I know that won't change anything but I truly am sorry...."

Spectra grabs her in a tight hug. "I'm glad my first time was with you, Rainbow. Even if you weren't acting normal."

Rainbow returns the hug. "How can I make it up to you?"

Spectra breaks the hug and puts a hoof to his chin.

"Hmmmmm.....You don't need to, silly filly! I forgive you!"

Rainbow grabs his shoulders. "No, I need to make it up to you somehow!"

Spectra pushes her of his shoulders and looks deeply into her magenta eyes.

"Rainbow. I. Forgive. You. Because. I. Care. About. You."

And with that, Rainbow bursts into tears, and grapples him into a tight hug.

"T-t-thanks S-S-S-Spectra."

"Hey, no harm no foul. Now...." He breaks the embrace and looks back into her eyes. "....gather up your friends. Tell them to meet me in the library. We need to talk."

As usual, he twitches when he says friend. Rainbow ignores it.

Rainbow flies up and salutes. "Count on me!"

And with that, she flies out the window. Spectra walks downstairs and sits on the couch in the lounge room.

(Authors Note: Aussies call living rooms 'lounge rooms' for some odd reason.)

"And now, we play the waiting game. Hey Discord! Wanna talk?"

'What do you want, Spectra? Oh and thanks for the information on your friends that resides in your mind. That will be quite useful if I meet them one day.'

Spectra flinches at 'friend'.

"Even if you meet them, something in the back of my mind tells me somepony will kill you anyway."

'Oh, trust me, Spectra. If somepony takes me down, I will make sure that he or she will go down with me!'

"Ok, I don't wanna talk to you any more."

And with that, Spectra sat in silence awaiting Rainbows return.

-----Twilights Library, 1:36pm-----

Rainbow and her 5 friends were in the library, waiting for Spectra to come in.

Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were all looking very nervous. AJ and Rarity looked confused on why they were there.

"Why do we have ta wait fer Spectra ta git here, anyway? What happened?"

Twilight looks to AJ then back to the ground she was staring at.

"....I have a good idea of what he wants to talk about....."

AJ now looked confused.

"Consarn it, Twilight! Jus' tell us what happened!"

Spectra bursts into the door.

"Good evening, everypony."

Nopony returned the greeting.

"Well, I'm pretty sure Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie know why I'm here."

Everypony looks to the 3 mares.

"On the first day of estrus, I was flying away from Rainbow, afraid she might break me or something. Then, all of a sudden, Pinkie Pie here tries to jump me so she could buck the hay outta me."

Everypony but Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Fluttershy looked shocked.

"Then, moments after that, Fluttershy appears out of nowhere asking me to come to her cottage to buck her."

Everypony was now looking at Fluttershy.

"And THEN, I head to Twilights place, thinking a smart mare like her found a spell to cure the effects of estrus. When I arrived, she levitated me inside saying that she will buck me."

Everypony didn't even bother looking at Spectra or anypony else any more.

"After that, Rainbow convinced me in the Everfree Forest that if I didn't stay with her she would go after another stallion. I forgive her because I care about her. I'm angry at all of you because your her friends.." Twitch. "...and should not attempt to buck her coltfriend."

Pinkie Pie walks up to Spectra. "I'm sorry, can we still be friends?" Her mane and tail were straight and she looked sad.

Spectra twitches. Then he begins laughing. The others take this as a good sign. "Friends? Pinkie I NEVER considered you my friends and I highly doubt that has changed!"

Twitch.

Everypony looked saddened and shocked.

"WHAT?!" All the mares shout in unison, making Spectra temporarily deaf.

"I always considered you one of Rainbows friends."

Twitch. 'Celestia damned that HAS to be treated or something.'

Pinkie Pie gets right up in his face. "We can make it up to you! Pleeeeease let us make it up to you and we can be friends! I can host your birthday party!"

Twitch.

"Everypony stop saying 'friend'!"

Twitch.

"CELESTIA DAMN IT. Ok, fine. I promise to go to to my.....birthday party? Pinkie my birthday was on the first day of estrus. I got a great present to."

Spectra winks at Rainbow, who blushes.

'OH MY GOD THE LEVELS OF CUTENESS.'

Pinkie's mane poof's back up and she smiles. "Pinkie Promise that you will come to the party!"

Spectra shakes his head in confusion. "A what?"

Pinkie then crosses a hoof over her heart, waves a hoof high above her head, then sticks her hoof in her eye.

"Cross your heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Spectra shrugs and does the movements. "Sure, sure whatever."

Everypony then left the tree, except for Rainbow, Pinkie and Spectra.

"Ok, come by Sugarcube Corner at 7pm! Dashie can show you where it is!"

Pinkie exits the tree and heads to the bakery.

Spectra chuckles. "Dashie?"

Rainbow flies right in front of him with an angry look.

"I don't like the nickname anyway, Rainbow."

She smiles, kisses his cheek and follows him outside.

-----Rainbows Cloud House, 7:21pm-----

Spectra and Rainbow were performing stunts and racing, mainly for Rainbows entertainment. They had lost track of time long ago. Rainbow looked to where the sun was and gasped.

"Oh no....We missed Pinkies party..." She then points a hoof towards Spectra. "....and you Pinkie Promised you'd be there....oh no....this is bad!"

Spectra shrugs and grins. "Come on Rainbow! If we tell her that we lost track of time I'm sure she'd be fine with it."

Rainbow still looked worried. "I hope so...."

The couple fly into Sugarcube Corner to find the place empty except for a pink coated, pink maned mare sitting on the floor. Her mane was straight, same with her tail.

Spectra flies up to her. "Ummm....Pinkie? We're sorry we were late. We lost track of time."

Pinkie looked up to him with a glare that could end armies.

"You. Pinkie. Promised."

Spectra nods. "I know, I can make it up to-"

"YOU PINKIE PROMISED!"

Pinkie leaps after Spectra. But he dodges it and looks to Rainbow. She just mouths "Run you fool."

Spectra races out of Sugarcube Corner with a very angry Pinkie Pie on his tail.

"YOU PINKIE PROMISED ME SPECTRA!"
