B3Chapter 3: the lessons we learn.

I woke up to a ray of light blinding my eyes

"Ah my god I can't see." I said as I slowly sat up. That was better now the light wasn't in my eyes.

"RISE AND SHINE EVERYPONY!!!!!!" said a voice coming from the now open door.

It was Dancing Thunder, dash was sleeping in the bed beside me and was laying face first into the pillow with her wings sticking straight up.

"Dash wake up." I said.

"Huh what was goin on." she said kind of slurring her words.

"Dash your wings." I pointed at them. She immediately shot straight up into the air and fell back down onto her bed.

"Did anypony see?" she asked frantically looking around.

"Besides me and possibly Dancing thunder no.".

"Phew good, that would have been humiliating." dash said.

"Give me five more minutes." said pinkie pie still half  sleeping.

"Oh what time is it." said Fluttershy as she was hiding under the covers from the yelling.

"I need my beauty sleep." rarity said wile she was face first into the pillow.

"Can't here ya am asleep." applejack said. Twilight of course was up at the same time dance came into the room.

"Come on it's already 9:00 and you guys are leaving tonight.

"Wha." almost everyone except Celestia sat up and said in unison.

Celestia was still sleeping wile we were getting up to go and do what we aware going to do for the day.

"Alright so what do ya want to do first." dance asked me.

"I actually don't know what we should do." I said.

"Alright then, let's just go see Dusk Shine." she said.

We took off and headed for ponyville, everything was a race with her, even just getting towards the library she tried to get ahead of me whenever possible. When she was ahead she blocked me from passing.

"What's the deal this isn't a race?" I said.

"Everything is a race." she said.

"But this dose not count towards the race later." I said.

"Your on!" she said.

We arrived at Dusk Shines house a fee moments after we landed. Twilight was there already and they were sharing story's about each others lessons.

"Ah Dance how are you doing?" Dusk shine said.

"I'm doin fine, this here is Thunderdash." she said pointing towards me.

"Hello thunder nice to finally meet you, Twilight has said some things about you." Dusk Shine said.

"Good things I hope." dance said as she nudged me with her fore leg.

"Yes I told him about how you saved princess Luna and how you are going out with her." twilight said.

"How did you know, I thought I kept it a secret is it really that obvious." I said slightly embarrassed by it.

"Ya it's kinda obvious, not that it's a bad thing." she said.

As the conversation progressed dance's mood changed from wanting to race to wanting to be quiet and not in the conversation. She slowly moved away from us. I walked over to her.

"What's wrong?"I said.

"you should have told me about Luna." she said.

"I never thought I needed to." I said.

"Well I have feelings for you and I didn't know whether or no to act upon them." she said.

"I just assumed because you are in love with Artemis that you wouldn't have feelings for me." I said.

"Oh well that is behind us now so you wanna race." she said.

She had returned fully to her usual competitive attitude by the time we were out side of the library. As we raced I thought about the conversation and how she put it behind her so easily. Thinking about how she put it behind her so easily caused me to lose focus and I lost by just 1 second.

"I beat you that means you have to buy me lunch." Dance said.

"Alright alright I will." I said, it had been the deal that if I win she has to buy lunch but if she wins I have to buy her lunch. We ate at one of the main restaurants, she ordered pizza, I didn't even know they had pizza here. We ate it as it was to big of a pizza for her alone to eat it. We left after I had paid, we headed towards a park were we had discussed the day before with blitz and dash that we would meet them here.

"What took you guys so long." said Blitz.

"We had a deal that if I beat him in a sprint race he would buy me lunch." Dance said.

"So how do we want to race?" asked Dash.

"How about me and blitz versus you and thunder." Dance said.

"Let's do this." I said. We flew up to the starting point.

"Dash where is Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkiepie, and Applejack?" I asked her on the way up to the starting point.

"I haven't seen them since this morning." she said.

"3.......2........1." Dance paused for what felt like forever.

"GO!!!" She finally said.

The pause must have been to make it so that she had time to get more of a build up for her start because she shot off twice as fast as anyone else had. The goal of this race was to head from were we started to Blitz's house around his house, then over canterlot, and back to were we started, we had to do this twice, last person across the finish line had to buy everypony dinner later. We completed the first lap and Dance was in the lead still followed by me then Dash and finally Blitz. The race was coming to a close and just before the finish I tripped over, I actually don't know what I tripped over, but I lost only by a split second though. When we headed back towards the park we had decided that we would go and see what everypony else was up to. When we couldn't find any of them we headed for canterlot.

It turned out that everypony was already there.

"Were have you guys been?"Twilight asked.

"Just racing." I said.

"We didn't know there was a specific time to meet." dash said.

"Everypony we will be leaving in 45 minutes." Celestia said.

"We have 45 minutes left, what should we do?" Asked Dance.

"We could just hang out and talk." I said.

"alright let's do that." dance said.

"You guys coming?" I asked dash and blitz.

"Nah we'll stay here and talk." blitz said.

We went out side and sat down across from each other.

"So what did you think of our race." Dance said.

"Well it was good, except for they epic tripping fail." I said.

"How did you trip?" she asked.

"I have no idea." I said.

We continued to talk about all of the things that we did not talk about. Within a what felt like a few moments twilight came out and said

"It's time to go.". We stood up and walked inside.

"Remember you still owe me dinner for that race." dance said.

"How could I forget." I said. There figures began to distort as I waved goodbye. Like before everything went black, we woke up this time in a group were we had left from the day before.

"Did everypony make it.". I looked around after I said it to make sure everypony was intact there, from what I could see we all made it back, Celestia was partially asleep and kind of dazed from the travel.

"Well the landing was better then the last time I did this." Celestia said.

"It was good to see them again." Twilight said.

"Yes it was lovely to see Elusive again." rarity said.

We all chatted for a while about our different experiences.

"Well i'm off to my house, I have to get something ready for my practice tomorrow." dash said.

"Ya I should get goin to Applebloom's probably worried about me." said Applejack.

"I should go to see you guys tomorrow." I said.

I walked off to an area were I could take off from and flew towards canterlot. I took it slow at first I hadn't flown slowly in a while so it felt foreign to be flying so slowly. The slow flying that I had been doing was short lived as I thought about something I hadn't thought about for a while Luna my speed slowly increased as I headed for the castle. I landed at the front gate and the guards let me through, since it was later in the day I didn't want them to have to wake up everypony in the castle on there way up to see who had come in. I went up to my room and looked at the time, it was 8:30 in the evening. It was probably better to talk to Luna in the morning. So I went to sleep.
