Will of Fire

Chapter 8 - Good morning Ponyville!

By: TheXIIILightning

"Oh Daring Doo, why are you so awesome..."

I woke up to Rainbow Dash sleeping with her head on top of me. That was... About two minutes ago, I felt a small wet spot on my back, and found out that she was drooling on my coat. Weird thing is, that I don't even mind.

Right now I'm so tired that I could sleep through an earthquake. Yeah, Spike is already making breakfast in the kitchen, but a few more minutes couldn't hurt. So I closed my eyes and tried to get five more minutes of rest.

Rainbow giggled, "Not there, it tickles..."

What!?

I lifted my neck and looked at her more clearly, she was blushing with a grin on her muzzle, and her wings were...

Oh no, that's NOT COOL!

I slowly wiggled my way out from below her and carefully put her head on my pillow.

There's no way I'm waking her up right now, she might kill me.

I sniffed the air, the smell of delicious fresh-made pancakes everywhere. "Might as well check what's for breakfast." I said while yawning.

I made my way to the kitchen, and sure enough, Spike was there.Cooking seems to be the Little guy's talent, he even has an apron. I chuckled to myself and made my way to greet him.

"Morning Spike, something smells good." I said while peeking over his shoulder. He turned his attention from the pancakes and gave me a nod.

"Morning Light. I'm making some pancakes, they're Twilight's favorite." He grinned and added another pancake to a small pile of them.

"Cool, anything I can do to help?" I noticed the table was already made, so I guess it was a bit silly to ask.

"Hmm, not really. Why don't you go wake up Rainbow. The pancakes are almost done." Spike put another pancake on the pile.

"Well..." I glanced towards the living room, and saw her cyan colored leg twitching. "I don't think that's a good idea."

Twilight yawned while coming down the stairs, her mane was already combed.

"Good morning Spike. Good morning Lightning. What's not a good idea?" She inquired while sitting on the table.

I glanced towards the living room and took a seat next to her. I motioned for her to get closer, to which she did, and whispered the reason in her ear.

Twilight giggled a little and looked towards the living room. "She does that sometimes."

"Well everypony, breakfast is done." Spike said while taking off his apron. He then moved towards a small cupboard, and took out a bag of gems, gems which I assumed were the same ones that Rarity gave him last night.

"I'll get the pancakes Spike." Twilight said, levitation the big plate of pancakes onto the table. "Hey, look at this." She said while poking me in the shoulder.

Twilight levitated a single pancake towards Rainbow Dash, wiggling it in front of her nose. Like one would do to a dog.

Soon enough, the Pegasus woke up with a loud yawn and dashed towards the table. Taking a seat in front of me.

"Morning everypony! I'm starved!" She said while filling up her plate with pancakes.

Twilight sighed and used her magic to split the rest between us. I thanked her and moved my attention towards Rainbow. "Me too, we we're waiting for you to get up." I took a bite of a pancake. IT'S DELICIOUS!

"Oh yrea?" She said through a mouthful of pancakes. "Wry dridn't yru trehn?" She swallowed the one in her mouth, and stuffed another one in there. It was truly a sight to behold...

I swallowed my bite and stole a glance at Twilight. She was watching me with a knowing smile, one that said "Do it colt!"

"Well..." I started. "It's just that you looked so 'peaceful'." I said giving an extra nudge on that last word.

Rainbow looked at me with a lifted eyebrow and a blank expression, well, as much as a blank expression you could get with chubby cheeks.

I didn't say a word, I just grinned and slowly lifted my wings. Rainbow clearly got the message, she instantly blushed beat red and her pupils got thin as needles.

She spat out her food luckily missing me, except for one small crumb that hit my forehead.

"You're lying!" She yelled pointing her hoof at me "He's lying Twilight!" She turned to Twilight, but kept her accusing hoof on me.

Twilight was laughing along with me, but soon enough she gave an assuring smile at her. "Relax Rainbow, we already know you talk in your sleep, it's not your fault."

Rainbow withdrew her hoof and crossed her forelegs on her chest. "I don't talk in my sleep!" She huffed and Twilight sighed.

"Rainbow, I won't give any examples because Spike is here right now." Twilight said while looking at Spike. He was eating his gems without a care in the world, but looked up to her.

"Why not. It's not like I'll tell anypony" Spike shrugged and went back to his gems.

"Let's just say, that you're lucky Applejack didn't take it the wrong way." Twilight teased. I wonder what she meant by that.

Rainbow caught my intrigued look, and decided to stop the thing before anything else was told.

"FINE! I talk in my sleep..." She admitted and slumped on the table, her head between her hooves. Shortly after, she gave me an evil grin. "Oh and Light."

I looked up to her, while chewing some delicious pancakes.

"Heal up that wing, because I'll make you pay soon enough." She glared daggers, and I just froze in place with my mouth open. She's scary when she wants to...

They all started laughing after that, and so did I after a while.

"You should have seen the look on your face. Priceless!" Rainbow said while she wiped away a tear.

We finished the rest of the meal in silence. Only trading some amused glances at each other.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Pinkie came by and delivered these a while ago, something about some party later today." Sike put a few invitations on the table.

"Thanks Spike, we were expecting those" Twilight opened her invitation "It's scheduled for tonight, so I guess we can have dinner there. There's also an invitation for you Spike."

"Yes! I've wanted a break for so long, it's good to eat somepony else's food for a change." The little guy hoof pumped, err, fist pumped the air.

"I agree with you there buddy, I used to cook everyday when I was a kid. Then I taught Sunshine how to do it and she beat me by a mile." I said while moving my foreleg to give an idea.

"Well then Light, maybe you can cook something for us one day. I'm sure Twilight would love it." Spike smiled at me and Twilight, who got up from her seat and trotted towards him.

"Of course I would, but I doubt he could best my Number 1 assistant." Twilight gave him a loving nuzzle, like a mother would give to her foal.

Spike gave her a hug, and then went to clean the dishes.

"So..." Rainbow started, lightly scrapping at the floor "What are you gonna do today?"

"Well, I have some physiotherapy to do. Dr. Cardio wants me to exercise my wing, so... An hour long workout should be more than enough." I said while flexing my wing, checking for any damage. "You know, maybe I can fly one day sooner if I'm lucky. I didn't loose too many feather's from the bandages." I gave a small flap, almost instantly feeling a small breeze in the room.

"That's cool. I have some flying tricks to improve, and I was wondering..." Rainbow looked at the floor for a while "Would you like to go work out with me?" She was talking a little fast, maybe she was still upset about that wingboner joke.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Hay, it could be fun.

"Awesome!" Rainbow seemed to cheer up. "I'll go home and pick up some stuff, meet me at the Ponyville Park in an hour OK?"

"Sure, see ya there." Rainbow nodded and flew out the window.

Twilight approached me after Rainbow left. "What was that all about?" She asked while looking at the rainbow colored trail in the sky.

"I have no idea." I said while looking at the same trail. "Hey Twilight."

"Yes?"

"Where is the Ponyville Park?"
