7 Days to Hearts and Hooves
Chapter 1: 7 days left, Gotta bail.
As Celestia's sun took over Luna's glorious night, ponies from all over Equestria begun to spring up from their beauty sleep. Pinkie Pie pranced happily as she woke up Mr and Mrs Cake to start their business at SugarCube Corner, Apple Jack begun to start her work at the farm and Rarity groomed her mane and started making orders she received from her customers. Twilight Sparkle herself, however, haven't slept the whole night due to being obsessed with a books piled up before her, giving her an urge to read. Fluttershy even woke up earlier than the others and tended to each and every one of her animal friends.
Rainbow Dash, for one, was avoiding the glimmering sunlight that was shone into her cloud home. She dug her head into her cloud pillow, not allowing a single sound get into her while she had all the sleep she wanted, avoiding the fact that she needed to tend to her Weather Control duties.
"Just five more minutes..." Rainbow Dash winced as the ringing of her alarm clock broke the beautiful silence she have had. Rainbow Dash gave in, waking up to stretch her poorly positioned wings. Her mane and tail was a mess, but Dash gave little to no care. "What's the time..." Dash quickly took a glance at her alarm clock.
'Oh no.' was the last two words to mumbled before dashing out from her home to the weather factory where she works.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, another crap of a day." Rainbow Dash sighed. As she flew passed a shop, a certain, bright-coloured circle on the calendar outside a shop caught her eyes. Beside the particular mark was written ‘Hearts and Hooves Day’. Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes to get a better look, only to have them pop open wide once more.
“Wait, Hearts and Hooves Day’s in 7… 6 days?!” she screamed, startling some ponies around her. Not giving a single care, she dashed back to her cloud home and locked the door shut.
“Woah, did I just care about Hearts and Hooves Day?” she reflected herself, thinking back of her reaction just now. “Why would I? I mean, I don’t have any special somepony or anything.” Rainbow Dash crossed her hooves. She looked around, facial expression changing. “Maybe I do have somepony to ask…” she sighed. Quickly, she shook her head. “Nonsense, Rainbow DANGER Dash does NOT date anypony! Except maybe… her.”
Her rose eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of her cloud home and she slowly faded into a day dream…
-=-=-=-=-=-
“Ergh. Another crap of a day.” A cyan mare said as she stretched herself on a particularly large cloud above the Everfree Forest. “Can’t wait till I get in the Wonderbolts, got to livin’ the dream.” The mare smirked at her own thought.
“There, there now busy bee~” a voice came from her side. It was the sweetest thing she had heard all day. Curious, she turned, only to see a creamy yellow Pegasus with pink mane and tail right beside of her. Their muzzles were close enough for a kiss. Rainbow Dash quickly halted back.
“Don’t go…” Fluttershy mumbled under her breath, making Rainbow stop moving. ‘Don’t go? What?’ she thought. Both joy and curiosity battled inside her. Wait, she was joyous to be hearing that? What’s wrong with her?
‘Don’t Dash… don’t.’ but her body betrayed her. Soon both their lips joined, the two ponies melted into a sweet kiss.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Crash! “And that ruined everything.” Rainbow Dash sighed, recovering from the sweet day dream she have just had. She stood up and trotted outside to see Derpy the mailmare. “Hello Rainbow Dash!” she cried. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes as she watched the clumsy mare flew away, knocking into some clouds and foreign objects ahead. “Now careful Derpy!” she cried, hoping that she’ll take in her advice.
Alone again, at last. Rainbow Dash looked back at the short day dream she just had. Wait, did she really think of Fluttershy like that? Is she… a fillyfooler, like what they've said?
“I’m a confused, oblivious pony,
Wake me up, don’t let me stay a phony.
The truth myself haven’t discover,
It leaves for me now to uncover.
Fillyfooler or straight, that doesn’t matter,
As long as it’s true love forever and ever.
One more week to Hearts and Hooves,
Maybe it’s time to make a move?
Her one heart, so precious and kind,
I wish it’ll be forever mine.”
