Chapter 1

Chapter 1

You find yourself walking down a dark hallway, it seems to go on forever. You take out your flashlight and turn it on, letting the beam sweep over the empty hallway. You enter a room, but there is nothing in here save a few dust bunnies in the corner. You head inside and when you step in the middle the door suddenly slams behind you. You turn quickly, and something you can't see picks you up by your shirt, lifting you off the ground a couple of feet. You snap open your wings and beat them with all of your might. The invisible thing looses its grip on your and you fly back, slamming yourself in the wall. You cry out, but quickly recover. You dash towards the grimy window but just as you were about to jump the thing caught your foot and you fell to the ground, bouncing your head off the wooded floor.

You are suddenly flipped on your back, the thing was now visible. It had a black, grotesque, bald head with no eyes. It's lip-less mouth opened and it spoke.

“Sir, I need to see your ticket.” It said with a very high-pitched girly voice. You just look at it with confusion. “Sir, please wake up I need to see your ticket.”

You snap your eyes open, you raise your head off the window you were resting it on. You look over and you see a lady with her hand extended.

“I'm sorry to disturb your sleeping, but we are almost to Ponyville, I need to see your ticket.” She said with a very sweet smile.

“Oh, it's ok I was having a nightmare.” You say as you gave her your ticket. You brush your hands through your hair and over your face. The lady hands you your ticket back and you shove it back in your pocket. You look over the train you are on, then look back out the window. You see rolling hills and a town in the distance. You pull out a hand mirror from you pack in the seat besides you and you see that you really need to shave. You're starting to get some peach fuzz. You try to flatten down you yellow and black hair, but it's pointless. Too many hours of flying at top speed has made your hair the messiest mess you've ever seen. Most people would try their hardest to keep their hair from messing up while flying, but you've never really cared. You manage to somewhat flatten your hair, but it still resembled that of a rats nest. You put the mirror back and check your phone. Three texts from your mom, and six texts from “Baby”. You quickly delete all of them, not bothering to read them. You already know what they say. Mom: “Please come home, your father and brother didn't mean it.” Baby: “Please tell me whats wrong”. Second message: Just cussing you out. Third: Apologizing for cussing you out. Repeat. You rub the sleep from your eyes and you hear the chime from your phone that tells you, you have a text. You check who it is from ant the name said Flash. You open it.

“Hey buddy everything alright? Speedy said that you ran off. Where did you go? What's going on? Text back as soon as you can.”

Ah Flash and Speedy. Your two best friends. You text back “The usual at my house, just couldn't take it anymore. Moving to Ponyville. Don't tell my family.” You wait for a few seconds and you get a reply. “Wouldn't dream of telling them, Sonic. Tell me when you move in so me and Speedy can visit. Stay frosty.” You chuckle a little, and put your phone up. The train enters the train station and you swing your bag over your shoulder, mindful of your wings, and depart. You take a deep breath as you step on the platform. The air is much cleaner here that Manehatten. You exit the train station, you are about to head for town hall till you realize, you have no idea where it is.

You see a group of people walk past you, but you don't say anything. You were never to good with groups. You spot a plump woman that looked like she was in her mid-thirty’s, and you step up to her.

“Excuse me ma'am?” You ask shyly.

“Oh, yes young man?” She asked cheerfully.

“Um, do you know where town hall is?” You ask quickly.

“Oh yes, it is right down this street then you take a right. You can't miss it. If you don't mind me asking, are you moving to Ponyville?” She asked with a sweet smile.

“Oh, um yeah.” You reply.

“Well then, allow me to be the first to say, Welcome to Ponyville. Please stop by the Sugarcube Corner if you are in need of something sweet.” She said kindly.

“I defiantly will, thank you.” You say. You start to head down the street she pointed to, and at the end you take a right. Before you know it you are in front of the town hall. You straighten your pack on your back and head inside. You walk up to the receptionist, who greets you with a smile.

“Hello and what can I do for you today?” She asks sweetly.

“Um, I was wondering if you had any available housing?” You ask.

“Oh, of coarse and what is you price range?”

“I can't go over 1,000 bits.” You say shyly.

“Not a problem.” She said as she typed a few things into her computer. “Ok, we have a small apartment, for 700.” she said as she turned her computer screen towards you. The screen displayed a small one bedroom apartment. It looks like it's in perfect order, and it comes with furniture.

“I'll take it.” You say.

“Ok, then. One moment please.” she said as she turned the screen back to her, she typed a few things in then turned back to you. “The mayor will need to approve this and collect the bits. One moment please.” She said as she stood up and walked down the hallway and disappeared around the corner. She came back a minute later with an older woman, but not too old.

“Ah, are you the young man who is looking for housing?” She asked when she saw you.

“Yes ma'am.” You say politely.

“I need to see some form of id if you please.” She said.

“Yes of coarse.” You say as you take out your wallet. You soon realize that the only thing you have that can count as id would be you old library card. “Will this suffice?” You ask with an apologetic tone.

“It will do just fine Mr. Wave.” She said as she took the card and looking over it quickly before handing it back. “Follow me please.” She said and she started to walk back down the hall, you follow quickly. She guides you to an office and she sits behind a big wooded desk. The name plague on it says “Mayor Mare”. She retrieves some papers from a drawer and slide them to you along with a pen.

“Please fill this out, along with the money and you will be in your new apartment today.” She says with a cheerful tone and a smile.

First question: What if your name? Sonic Wave.

Second question: Age? 19.

The rest of the questions are common questions that you answer with ease. You reach into your bag and pull out a small brown bag. You take out you wallet and count out 700 paper bits and place then on the paper, and slide it back to the mayor, who recounts the money and looks over the paper work. She takes a stamp out and stamps on the paper and gets up and walks around the desk.

“Let me tell you that I am very happy to call you a resident of Ponyville.” She says with a big smile, and she hands you a set of keys, and a map.

“Thank you.” You say, and pick up you bag. Together you and the mayor walk out and down the hall, in the lobby she stops you.

“You know if you like books, you should stop by the Library, it has a vast collection. It's on the map.” She says with a sweet smile.

“Thanks I will.” You say. You leave and take out the map, your new home is marked for you so you quickly fly there. You enter an apartment complex and you take an elevator up to the third floor, and your room is the closest to the elevator. Room 30. You unlock the door and step inside. The walls are a pleasant shade of green, and the carpet is a nice pinkish color. You close the door, and sit on the old time floral print sofa. You look around the room and you take in the scenery. The living room is connected to the small kitchen, which has a small stove, three cabinets, and a small fridge. The living room has only the sofa in it and a small coffee table, behind you, you can see a small room with a sheet-less bed, and a small nightstand next to it. To the right there is a small bathroom with a small shower.

“This will work.” You say to yourself. You get up and walk into the kitchen, looking through the cabinets and the fridge, it is clear that you need to do some shopping. You make a list and you take out your map. You exit your apartment with list and map in hand. Out on the streets you take out your map and you find a store that sells all of what you need. You quickly fly to the shop, but you don't fly back. The plates you have are too frail to risk flying with them. You take out your map and find the easiest route to take. You put on your headphones and turn on some DJ Pon3, and start to walk down the road, passing many people one the way, many of them say hello. You are surprised by how friendly the people are, but you return every hello. You find yourself walking next to an empty field with you head down, totally oblivious to the world around you. The obliviousness didn't last long because something big hit your chest going very fast. You are knocked off your feet, your bags flying everywhere. You hit your head on the ground and you black out.

You wake up to two voices that sounds like girl's voices.

"Ah think ya killed 'im." Said a southern voice.

"No I didn't. He's just knocked out. See he's coming around." Said the other girls voice. You slowly open your eyes, and start to move. You vision is very blurry and you see a rainbow of colors in front of you. You blink your eyes and start to move.

"Shit." You say as you sit up putting a hand to the back of your head, you don't feel any wetness.

"Hey are you alright?" A girl's voice asked. You look around and you see two girls. The one crouching next to you has short rainbow colored hair, and is wearing a light blue jump suit on. The other girl who was standing a few feet away wore what looked like work cloths and an old stetson.

"Ah think broke 'im." The girl with the stetson said, looking at you suspiciously.

"No I'm not broke, more rattled up." You say, you try to move your wings, but you get a sharp pain in your left one. you hiss at the sudden pain.

"Sorry, I think it's dislocated." The rainbow haired girl said, looking at it. You turn your head to look at it, and it was sticking out at quite an odd angle.

"Shit." You repeat under your breath. You grab a hold of your wing at the base, suck in a breath, and popped it back into place.

"Damn, you're pretty strong to be able to do that." The rainbow color haired girl said with a low whistle.

"Yeah, well It's been through worse." You say as you stand up.

"Ya know, ah don't think ah have ever seen you around here before. Are y'all new to Ponyville?" The country girl asked as she stepped closer.

"Yeah, i just moved in today. I was out buying stuff i needed for my apartment." You rely as you stretch, trying to loosen up your back.

"Oh shit. I'm sorry. Here are your bags." The rainbow headed girl said as she handed you back your bags. you look inside only to find that most of your plates are broke, though a few made it through.

"It's funny I didn't fly because I didn't want to break these plates." You say, thinking out loud.

"Sorry again, I can pay for the broken plates." The rainbow headed girl said with an apologetic tone in her voice.

"Don't worry about it." You say as you start to walk away. The girls catch up each on each side of you.

"My name's Rainbow Dash, and she's Applejack." The rainbow haired girl said. Applejack waved.

"Sonic Wave." You say. You hear a chime come from Rainbow Dash's direction. She pulls out her cell phone and checks something.

"Shit, hey I have to run. I'll catch you guys later an Sonic, I promise to make it up to you some how." Rainbow Dash says as her wings unfold from her back and she takes off.

"Hey, are you sure your alright?" Applejack asked when you two are alone.

"You, don't worry about." You say.

"Alright, well I have to get going, stop by Sweet Apple Acres if you ever need a job, or if you want to hang out." Applejack says as she walks away.

"Yeah sure." You call after her. You walk back to your apartment and put up the stuff that wasn't broken. Feeling very worn out your fall on your bed and you pass out instantly.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

You wake up groggy, not really wanting to get up you hug your pillow. You feel a vibrating against your leg. You dig out your phone and you see that Flash is calling you.

“Hello?” You say in a voice that was barely understandable.

“Sonic man, did you just get up?” Flash asked in his usual sing song voice. He was way too damn happy in the mornings.

“No, I haven’t gotten up yet. Why are you calling be at... three in the morning.” You ask as you check the time on your phone.

“Just worried about you man, hey are you settled in yet?” Flash asked.

“Yes.” You reply, closing your eyes. You dozed off and are waken up again by Flash yelling in your ear. “Hey can I call you back?” You asked.

“Yeah man. See you later, stay frosty.” Flash says and you hang up. You don't want to but you force yourself to get up. You pick up your pack and take out a towel, exercise cloths, and your tooth brush along with tooth paste, and a razor. You head in the bathroom and take a refreshing shower, waking you completely up. You dress and brush your teeth, and shave. You go to your kitchen and you take out the carton of eggs you bought yesterday, and fry yourself up some eggs. With the light breakfast under your belt you head out into the quiet and asleep Ponyville. Celestia has yet to raise the sun, and it is slightly cold outside. You stretch your wings and fly high in the air, you fly to the field where you met Rainbow Dash and Applejack the day before. On the ground you can see that about a mile downwards there is a lone tree. You start to fly towards it at a nice and slow pace. You circle the tree, and ended back where you started. Stretching out your wings some more, you take off for the tree at extremely high speeds. You are back where you started in a fifth of the time it took you too do it at a normal pace.

You continue to do this till the sun rises, each time trying to go faster than before. As the sun starts to break through over the horizon you decide to fly home. Back at your house you shower and eat a real breakfast. You grab your phone, a pair of aviators, and your map along with your messenger bag and you exit your apartment for a second time that day.

Out on the streets of Ponyville, you check you phone for the time. Its about ten, and you start to walk, nowhere in particular, just to familiarize yourself with Ponyville. You walk down one street and you see that you are in a type of shopping plaza. All around you are stores, each selling a different thing. You start to walk towards the middle when you see a familiar face. Applejack was selling apples in the middle of the street, nobody seemed to be buying any though. You walk towards her and her stand and she sees you and waves at you. You wave back and walked up to the stand.

“Good morning Sonic!” Applejack says when you stand in front of her stand.

“Good morning Applejack. How's business?” You ask, making casual conversation.

“It's a little slow today, ah still haven't made a sale.” She says with a sigh.

“Allow me to make the first purchase today.” You say as you give her a couple of bits, she in return gave you three apples. You however don't eat them but put them in your bag.

“So how's your wing?” She asks, as she put the bits in a small metal box.

“It's fine. I just thought to get to know Ponyville if I’m going to be living here.” You say as you stretch.

“Ah, well don't let me keep you. See ya.” She says and you walk away. You remember the mayor say something about there being a library here, so you take out your map and you quickly find it. Mapping out a path in your head you head out for it, looking at everything as you walk. You are in front of the library in no time and the sign on the door says “Open, please come on in.” You open the door and you are greeted with a book flying straight for your head. You quickly duck and the book hits the wall, falling to the ground. You look at the direction of where the book came from and you see Rainbow Dash in the air. She is wearing blue shorts, and a light blue t-shirt with running shoes.

“You're just trying to kill me, aren’t you?” You ask as you take off your glasses and you pick up the book.

“Sorry about that Sonic.” She said as she flew towards you, you hand her the book back. “So how's your wing?” She asked.

“It's fine, flew a little bit. It's stiff but it's fine.” You say as you look into her eyes. You didn't realize this before but she is actually kinda cute.

“So what are you doing here? Looking for a book?” Rainbow Dash asks as she turns back around, placing the book in a stack on a table.

“Yeah.” You say as you look at the books lining the shelves.

“Twilight! Customer!” Rainbow Dash yells up a flight of stairs. A girl with long, straight, purple hair with a pink streak in it, wearing baggy cargo pants, a white dress shirt with a purple vest over it, along with black and white converse shoes that are like your own, came down the stairs. It was clear that she knew magic because a book was levitating in front of her.

“Oh hello. I don't believe I ever met you.” She said in a kind soft voice.

“I just moved here yesterday, my names Sonic Wave. I was told that this place has good books.”

“Ah yes, do you have a book in mind?” She asked, putting the book down.

“Not really, just something fictional.” You reply.

“Hmm, well that is really tough, what category do you like? Action? Drama? Adventure? Fantasy? Romance?” She asked.

“Here, try Daring Do.” Rainbow Dash said as she dropped a book in your hands ans she flew across the room with other books in her hands. You look over the reviews, it does seem to get a lot of good reviews.

“Thanks Rainbow Dash, I think this is good.” You say to Twilight Sparkle. She takes the book and leads you to a counter, where she scans the bar code on the back. As she was doing this, you feel you right thigh vibrate. You reach in you pocket and pull out your phone. “Speedy” flashes on the screen.

“Can I take this in here?” You ask Twilight, who nods.

“Yeah?” You ask.

“Hey man, whats up dude! Flash told me all about you moving to Ponyville.” Speedy says very fast. It was hard to understand him when you first met him, but after 16 years you can understand him like he was speaking in a normal speed.

“Yeah, he said that you guys were going to get some money and visit.” You said as you absentmindedly walking slowly next to a book case, looking at the titles but not actually looking at them.

“Yeah, we got part-time jobs. Speaking of which I have to get back to mine, I just wanted to know how you were doing.” Speedy says.

“Yeah alright I’m doing fine, I’ll let you get back to your job. Good bye.” You say as you hang up, you quickly walk back to the counter. “Sorry.”

“Not a problem, so have you made any new friends yet?” Twilight Sparkle asked and she handed you the book.

“Not sure, Rainbow Dash almost killed me yesterday.” You say as you put the book in your bag.

“Yeah she does that.” Twilight said as she looked at Rainbow Dash who was putting books in a book shelf. “Hey, if you don't know anybody, you should come to this party with us tomorrow. It's at a lake, and a lot of people will be there.”

“Yeah, you should totally come, it will be so much fun!” Rainbow Dash says as she drops down next to you.

“Well I’m not doing anything tomorrow, what time?” You ask.

“Eight A.M. I will swing by your house, and get you if that's alright with you.” Rainbow Dash says.

“That's fine by me.” You say.

“Alright then, remember to bring a towel and swimming trunks if you plan on swimming.” Twilight Sparkle says. You turn to leave when the door opens again and a little boy, about 13, with green hair and a purple shirt on with matching purple pants, walks through the door.

“Spike! Finally your back, you said that you would be back twenty minutes ago, we are behind schedule. Rainbow Dash, you can leave, thanks for the help.” Twilight Sparkle said as she assured Spike up the stairs. You hold open the door for Rainbow Dash and you step outside, putting your sun glasses back on.

“Hey do you want to hang out today?” Rainbow Dash asks turning to look at you.

“Yeah sure.” You say, it's not like you have anything else planned for today. You two start to walk.

“So what do you like to do for fun?” Rainbow Dash asks. It's safe to say you didn't expect that question. It's a very common question but you never really had any time to do anything fun, so it takes you a minute to think of something.

“Race, I guess.” You say. Rainbow Dash, stops and turns around to face you.

“So you like to race?” She asks, with a grin on her face. “How fast are you?”

“Not sure, I never really cared before.” You say.

“Wanna race?” Rainbow Dash asks, suddenly very giddy.

“Yeah, sure.” You say and Rainbow Dash takes your hand and you fly to the same field you were at earlier.

“Ok, the rules are simple. 1. Don't cheat. 2. No hitting. That's it.” Rainbow Dash said as she emptied her pockets. She set down her phone and keys on the ground and started to stretch. You set down your bag, with your glasses, phone, and keys laying on top of it.

“Ready when you are.” You say.

“Alright then, first one to make it down to that mark, do you see it?” She asks, you follow to where she's pointing at and you see a bright blue stick sticking out of the ground. You nod to her question. “Alright,” she continues. “Fly down there, then back. First one back wins.”

You stand next to her in a starting position, she yells go and she takes off, you are right behind her. She is going faster than you expected, but not as fast as you could go. You stay atop of her till you reach the marker. You pull a sharp turn and it's clear that she didn't expect that because of the slightly shocked look on her face. She pours on the speed and shoots past you. You in turn pour on the speed also and you easily match her speed. She is clearly trying very hard, she sounds out of breath, so you back down a little, being the gentleman you are. She lands and almost collapses, but somehow manages to stay upright.

“I win.” She said between breaths. She lays on the cool grass, and you sit down next to her.

“You are pretty fast.” You say.

“The fastest in Equestria.” She boasts, her breathing still very ragged. Lay down and close your eyes, letting the slight cool breeze blow across your face. It was nice and quiet, till you hear a rumbling sound, you look over at Rainbow Dash who was blushing slightly.

“Sorry I get a little hungry after a good race.” She says. With a soft chuckle you stand up and walk to your bag, retrieving the tree apples. You walk back and toss two of them to Rainbow Dash. “Thanks! I assume you've met Applejack today already?” She asks as she takes a bite of one apple.

“Yeah, earlier today.” You say as you bite into your apple, it was probably the best you've ever eaten. It must have shone on your face, because you hear giggling coming from Rainbow Dash.

“That good huh?” She asks as she takes the last bite from her apple, throwing the core across the field. “I feel bad for taking your last apple.” she says with a small smile.

“Then we will split it.” You say, taking the apple, you grip it on each side and twist each hand different ways, the apple slits in half cleanly. You hand one half to a slightly shocked Rainbow Dash, the expression on her face makes you laugh.

“How strong are you?” She asks, taking a bite of the apple.

“Actually not as strong as I seem, you could probably do that to if you tried.” You say. You and Rainbow Dash hang out for the rest of the day, you race a couple of times and she shows you where everything is in Ponyville. The sun starts to sink and you decide you should probably get home if you are to wake up at ten in the morning. Rainbow Dash follows you home so she knows where to go in the morning. You unlock you door and swing it open.

“You wanna come in?” You ask turning towards her.

“Sure.” She says and walks past you, you tell her to make herself at home while you disappear into you bedroom and put up you messenger bag. Back in the living room, Rainbow Dash is sitting on your sofa.

“Can I get you anything? Water? Tea? Milk?” You ask heading into the kitchen.

“Some tea would be nice, where is your bathroom?” She asks, you point to the other closed door and she excuses herself. You bring some water to boil on your stove, and take out two cracked cups. You have the tea ready when she returns and you hand her her cup. She takes a sip and lets out a loud “Mmm”.

“You like it?” You ask with a smile.

“Yeah it's pretty good.” She says as she takes another sip. You feel a vibrating in your pants and take out your phone. Baby flashes on the screen.

“Shit.” You say as you ignore the call, you instantly get another call back, and you ignore that one too. Every time you ignore a call another one. In the end you just take your phone battery out.

“Sorry about that, old girlfriend that won't take the hint.” You say as you down the rest of your tea.

“Bummer. Oh shit, hey I have to go sorry, I'll be by around eight k?” She asks, you nod and she downs the rest of her tea and bolts out the door. With a sigh you put both cups in your small sink and quickly wash them. You make a small dinner and after that you change into your pajamas and your crawl into bed and go to sleep, but not before putting your phone battery back in and hooking it up to it's charger.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

You find yourself back inside the long dark hallway, but instead of going down the hall you turn back. You are in a foyer with two grand staircases on each side. You slowly walk to the middle of the room, when you reach it you instantly are thrown across the room, hitting the wall with a sickening crunch. You look up just in time to see a great sword flying towards you. You wake up before it hit you. You sit up quickly, clutching your chest, breathing heavily. Somebody is pounding away at your front door. With a groan you get and answer it, Rainbow Dash is at the door wearing blue cargo shorts and a blue t-shirt. She looks at your pajamas and tries to hid a smile.

“Am I interrupting something?” She asks laughing.

“Yes actually, I was in the middle of a nice nightmare, how long have I got to get ready?” You ask as you step aside and head to your bedroom.

“We have to leave at nine-thirty.” She says as she sits on the couch. You grab a towel and your swimming trunks along with an old t-shirt and enter the bathroom. You take a very quick shower and exit the bathroom with your toothbrush in your mouth. You head to your kitchen and start to pull pots and pans. You turn to Rainbow Dash and take your toothbrush out of your mouth.

“You want anything?” You ask through a mouth of foamy toothpaste. This cause Rainbow Dash to laugh.

“What are you making?” She asked trying to stifle another smile. You hold up an egg. “Sure I could take one or two.”

You put two skillets on the stove and let them heat up while you go back to the bathroom and spit out the toothpaste.

“Toast?” You ask when you are back in your kitchen.

“Sure.” Rainbow Dash says. You quickly toss three pieces into your toaster and you start to fry the eggs. Before long you hand Rainbow Dash her plate and you sit down next to her on the couch. You still lack a dinning table. You hear a chime come from your room and you disappear to retrieve you phone. Flash text you seeing how you were today and to tell you that they have half the cash raised already. You set your phone on the coffee table and finish you breakfast.

“Hey whats your number?” Rainbow Dash asks as you take her plate.

“555-564-3324.” You say as you rinse the dishes off. You hear a chime come from your phone and you see an unknown number on your phone. The text read “Hurry up!” you look over at Rainbow Dash and she had an impatient look on her face. You text back “Let me get my towel.”

With towel in one hand, sunglasses on your face, and phone and wallet in your pocket, you and Rainbow Dash take to the air, flying over Ponyville. The warm morning air wakes you up fully. Soon you and Rainbow Dash arrive at a small camp site at the edge of a lake. There are quite a few people here already. Applejack and Twilight greet you and introduce you to everybody. There is a big strong man, not too much older than yourself, his name is Big Macintosh, who is Applejack brother. Then there are three little girls, named Applebloom, who is Applejack's little sister, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Next you are introduced to a very energetic girl with pink curly hair, named Pinkie Pie. Next a fancy girl with long purple hair that has a slight curl to it. Next your are introduced to the shyest girl you have ever met, she had long pink hair and she wouldn't even look you in the eye, much less talk to you, you are told her name is Fluttershy.

You quickly befriend everyone, and before you know it you are challenged to see how high you are willing to dive into the water, by Rainbow Dash. You are currently standing shirtless on a cloud about 20 feet above the water, with Rainbow Dash right besides you in a rainbow bikini. You peer over the edge.

“So how deep is the water?” You ask.

“50 feet, what are you scared?” She asked with a laugh, you roll you eyes and jump, with a powerful beat from your wings you easily gain another ten feet and you swan dive into the water. You touch the bottom of the lake and kick off, gasping for air once you surface. You get cheers from those on the bank. You look up in time to see Rainbow Dash run and jump off, canon balling in the water, creating a huge splash. She surfaces next to you sticking her tongue out and starts to swim to the bank. You start to swim back easily catching up to Rainbow Dash. You and Rainbow Dash are quickly thrown in a race to reach the bank, and you, forgetting your gentleman quality for a minute, speed past her and reach the bank long before she does.

“Your pretty fast Sonic.” Rarity says as she walks up to you.

“Yeah, probably faster than Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie Pie said happily, with the ever present smile on her face, she reminds you a lot of Speedy.

“Maybe in the water, but I’m way faster in the air.” Rainbow Dash says as she uses your shoulder as an armrest.

“Hey Sonic! Your phone is ringing!” Twilight calls for you from over by your stuff. You run up to it and Flash flashes up on the screen. Drying a hand on your towel, you put him on speaker phone.

“Whats up Flash?” You ask.

“Not much just calling to say we got enough money to visit.” Flash says.

“Alright cool, come over tomorrow and I’ll meet you at the train station.” You say, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applebloom, and Big Mac surrounded you.

“Alright man i- No Speedy, I’m not going to ask him.” Flash said, Speedy must be by him. “No Speedy. Because it's stupid that's why. It's a town I’m sure there are. No I’m not going to ask! Fine just don't take it out of its package!” Flash said suddenly, Speedy must have threatened to take one of Flash's comics out of it's packaging. “Speedy wants to know if there is any hot girls there.”

You feel your face turn red and your face gets warm. Rainbow Dash and Big Mac bust out laughing. You press the end call button, and turn around.

“So are there?” Pinkie Pie asks, with a wide grin on her face.

“Yeah, sure.” You say as you get up.

“Ah don't get it.” Applebloom said with a confused look on her face.

“Don't worry about it kiddo.” Big Mac said once his laughing subsided. Everybody walks back to the water, except you and Rainbow Dash. You dry your hands all of the way and start to text Flash about details.

“So, who do do you think is hot?” Rainbow Dash asks in a curious tone.

“Somebody.” You reply.

“Somebody who?” She asks.

“Just somebody.” You say, looking into her eyes.

“Is it somebody I know?” She asks, taking a step closer.

“Yup.” You say turning back to your phone.

“Are you going to tell me?” She asks. You turn to face her.

“You have a better time losing in a race against me in the air, than you do just me telling you.” You say, tossing your phone down on your blanket.

“So then lets race. If I win, you have to tell me, if I lose, then I will leave you alone.” She said with a smile. You think about it.

“Sure, your on.” You say. Before you know it you and Rainbow Dash are lined up on the bank. You two will fly over the water to the other edge and back. You get ready and when Pinkie Pie yells go, you both take off. You could easily out fly Rainbow Dash, but you stay a little behind till you hit the other bank. On the way back you fly parallel to her and just as you are about to cross the finish line you fall back a little, letting her win by a feather. She lands and runs up to you.

“So? Tell me!” She says.

“Ok, honestly there is no one here I think is hot. Now if the race would have been whether or not I thought somebody was cute, well that would be a different story.” You say with a grin. Rainbow Dash looked like she just got slapped.

“Hey y’all we are going to leave. It's getting kinda late.” Applejack said standing next to Big Mac and Applebloom. This started a chain reaction of people saying they had to go. It was indeed getting late, the sun was starting to set. Somehow you and Rainbow Dash got left alone on the bank of the lake.

“I really don't want to leave!” Rainbow Dash complained, flopping down on her towel. You sit down next to her.

“Well you don't have to.” You say, looking out over the lake.

“Yeah, I could stay here all night, but I have to feed my turtle Tank.” She said as she stood back up and gathered her towel. You grab your stuff and together you both take to the sky, this time you fly her home.

“Nice house.” You say when you see the big cloud house.

“Thanks.” She says. She seems fidgety about something.

“Would you like to ask me something?” You ask with a smile and a small laugh.

“Yeah, um can we hang out again tomorrow?” She asks, she seems a little uncertain about the question, like you were going to turn down the offer to hang out.

“Yeah, you can meet my friends. It'll be great.” You say with a smile.

“Alright cool, meet me here at nine, so I can repay the favor of cooking me breakfast today.” she said and she disappeared into her cloud house. You fly back to your apartment and cook yourself a quick and easy dinner, after that you hit the shower and then bed, but not before you set an alarm on your phone.

Rainbow Dash opens her door on the first knock, you couldn't help but think she was waiting for you.

“Ah, there you are.” She says stepping aside the let you in. You step into a plain living room, with a couch, an armchair and a small TV. You instantly smell something cooking from the kitchen. She disappears into the kitchen and brings out two plates, she hands you one and sits on the couch patting the spot next to her. You sit and she starts to flip through the channels on the TV. You take a bite of the omelet and it tastes just absolutely horrid. Of coarse you don't say this, instead you smile and take another bite. You hear a chime come from you pants and you take out your phone. “Flash” flashed across the screen. You open the text and it reads “We will arrive at the station in about ten minutes.”

“We have to go if we are going to meet my friends off the train.” You say as you text back a quick reply.

“Alright.” Rainbow Dash said as she took the plates into the kitchen. You stand up next to door and your are accompanied by Rainbow Dash. You step out first and she locks the door, together you both fly off towards the train station. You arrive before the train does so you two sit an a bench by the wall you tilt your head back, resting it on the back of the bench and close your eyes. You look up when your hear the train pull in. A mob of people stream out of the train and you get a text on your phone. “Where are you?” it said. You reply “Behind you.” a few seconds later the two boys that had stood in front of you turned around.

“Sonic!” The shorter one said. He had on black shorts and a sleeveless red shirt. A hat sat on top of his red hair.

“How did we miss you?” The taller one asked. He wore blue jeans and a plain white shirt. Glasses sat upon his nose. He had ruffled dark bluish hair.

“Good question Flash. This is Rainbow Dash.” You say as you stand up, Flash is taller than you by an inch, and Speedy comes up to your chest, just below Rainbow Dash who comes up to your pecs.

“Damn, you didn't tell me there were hot babes here Sonic!” Speedy said looking her over. This of coarse earned him a smack on the back of his head so hard he hit his head off the wall.

“Do behave, Speedy and try to keep it in your pants.” Flash said as he pushed his glasses up further on his nose. “Are we going?”

“Yeah, lets go.” You say as you four snap open your wings, and take to the sky. You are at your apartment before too long and the four of you are piling into your small apartment.

“Oh, your father told me to give you this.” Flash said as he took out an envelope. You open it and read “I know where you are, and I will find you.” You walk over to your stove and turn on a burner. You light the paper on fire and put the paper in the sink. You turn back to the living room and Flash and Speedy are already fighting over who gets to sleep where. you turn to Rainbow Dash.

“Sorry for Speedy, he has a tendency to think with his dick, but he's so small you could probably hit him with your wing and kill him.” You say and this makes her laugh.

“It's alright, so what did you have planned for today.” She asks sitting on the couch.

“Find a job.” You say.

“I could get you a job with clearing the sky's like me.” She said.

“That would be perfect.” You say and she excuses herself to talk on the phone. From the conversation you over hear it's about getting you the job. After a few minutes she hangs up her phone.

“Job got, I just hope you don't mind working under me.” She says with a smile.

“Nah, I just hope you can keep up with me.” You say with a smile. Flash and Speedy walk up to you.

“Tell Flash that I get the bed.” Speedy said.

“Oh please, why would you get the bed?” Flash asked Speedy.

“That's my bed, the couch pulls out you can both sleep on that.” You say, your phone rings. Unknown number comes up on the screen and you put it on speaker phone.

“Shut up, hello?” You ask.

“Baby? Are you there?” A very high pitched voice asks.

“SHIT!” You tell, you start to frantically push buttons till your are sure you have ended the call.

“Why did you answer her call you dumb ass!?” Speedy yelled. Clutching his heart, even Flash seemed shaken up. The only person in the room who wasn't shaken up was Rainbow Dash and she looked like she was in a room full of crazy people.

“It was an unknown number, do you really think I would answer that psycho’s calls on purpose?” You ask.

“Well you did date her.” Flash said. “Do you think she tracked the call?”

“Lets hope not.” You say.

“Who was that?” Rainbow Dash asked looking at you, Flash, and Speedy like you were crazy.

“That was his ex.” Speedy said once he calmed down.

“I still get nightmares from that psycho-bitch’s antics.” Flash said readjusting his glasses. Speedy started to go into depth of describing her features and his theory of why you dated her, making you go red in the face. Then he started to talk about the horrors of the girl. Not letting him rest at night, always being besides him, almost breaking up there group. There was no stop to the horrors of this girl.

“... and then she insisted to dress alike for Halloween.” Speed said with a gulp. Rainbow Dash just laughed.

“That's what normal couples do.” She said when her laughing subsided. Flash, Speedy, and yourself all exchanged looks before you spoke.

“Show her.” You say, and Speedy pulls out his phone and opens a picture and showed it to Rainbow Dash, who upon seeing it laughed even harder.

“Just wait till you meet her.” Flash says.

“Yeah, well this has been fun and all but I need to feed Tank. I will see you at my house at ten-thirty.” Rainbow Dash said to you before she left your apartment. You look at the clock on you phone and see that it has really gotten late.

“I'm going to bed.” You say, and you enter your bedroom and close the door, fall on your bed and let sleep overcome you.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

You wake up to a clanging coming from your kitchen. With a sigh you get up and open your bedroom door. Flash is in the kitchen pulling things from your fridge. Speedy was still asleep, stretched over the pull out bed. You walk to the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Flash says cheerfully.

“Morning.” You say back as you pour yourself a cup of coffee, adding sugar and milk.

“I was going to make some breakfast, but you lack a rack of lamb so I'm going to make and omelet, you want one?” Flash asks pushing his glasses back up his nose.

“Yeah, I’m going to take a shower.” You say as you finish you coffee. You head back in your room and grab a t-shirt and shorts, then head into the bathroom. You run the water letting it heat up while you quickly shave. You exit the bathroom and throw your dirty cloths in a hamper. Speedy was still asleep when you get out, you kick the bed frame while you pass, waking him up with a jolt.

“Any reason you have little to no dishes?” Flash asks as he hands you an omelet on a plate. You take a bite.

“I dropped them when I was headed back here from the store.” You say as you check your phone. You have half an hour till you need to be knocking on Rainbow Dash's door so you quickly finish your breakfast and start to read Daring Do. Time slips away from you and before you know it you need to leave.

“I'll call when I’m coming back, there is a map on the table and you have money. Figure it out.” You say as you leave. Soon you are landing onto Rainbow Dash's porch. You see Rainbow Dash in a chair on the porch and you wake her up.

“Wah?” She asks as her eyes shoot open. She slowly looks up at you. “Oh, its just you.”

“Waiting for somebody else?” You asks as she stands up and uses you as a balance as she stretches.

“No, just you. Where are Flash and Speedy?” She asks as she cracks her knuckles.

“I left them at my apartment, hopefully it will still be there when I get back.” You say as you both walk down the porch.

“Yeah, are you ready to work?” She asks turning to face you.

“Sure, whats the weather forecast?” You ask.

“Partly cloudy, then the clouds are to move after lunch, can you handle that much work?” She asks as you both take off.

“Bring it.” You say. It only takes two hours to scatter clouds, between you and Rainbow Dash so you both decide to stop by Sugarcube Corner to see what Pinkie Pie's doing. You hold open the door for Rainbow Dash and you get a whiff of sweet chocolate candy goodness and you start to feel your mouth watering.

“Ah, welcome dears, what can I do for you.” A middle aged woman asked with a big smile on her face. You recognize her as the lady who gave you directions to town hall on your first day here.

“Yes, is Pinkie Pie here?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“Oh yes she is playing with the babies, let me get her. It's good to see you again.” She says to you before she disappears up a flight of stairs. You and Rainbow look at the candy that lined walls and that were on display. You have never seen so many sweets in so many flavors. The lady comes back down alone with a confused look on her face.

“That odd, I thought she was playing with the babies, but she isn't. Sorry you two.” She says.

“That's ok Mrs. Cake. Thanks anyway.” Rainbow Dash says as she heads for the door. Mrs. Cake waves good bye and you wave back.

“Wanna bug Applejack?” Rainbow Dash asks as she takes to the sky with you right behind her.

“Sure.” You say and the two of you fly to Sweet Apple Acres. You instantly spot Applejack who was talking with Applebloom under an apple tree.

“Hey RD, Sonic!” She calls as you two land in front of the tree.

“Hey.” You say with a small wave.

“We are bored and we need something to entertain us. Any suggestions?” Rainbow Dash asks as she sits under the tree. It was Applebloom who answers.

“You could help me get my Cutie Mark.” She suggests.

“You just need to try as much things as you can, your bound to do something that your good at.” Rainbow Dash says as she laid down.

“Whats your Cutie Mark, Sonic?” Applejack asks with a cocked head.

“Yeah, I don't think I seen one on you.” Rainbow Dash says as she sits up and looks at you.

“It's a sonic boom.” You say as you tug at your collar, past your heart to show what looked like a sonic boom at it's peak.

“Wow, how did you get that?” Applebloom asked in awe.

“I preformed a sonic boom when I was littler.” You say.

“Can you do one again?” Applebloom asked jumping up and running to your side.

“Yeah, if you claim you can preform a sonic boom, I want to see this.” Rainbow Dash says with a hint of doubtfulness in her voice.

“Alright.” You say and before you know it you are at the start of the row of apple trees, the girls are about halfway down the row. You start to fly and you quickly pick up speed, you flap you wings harder and harder, you start to feel a strain on your wings as they beat faster than you can see. The trees start to blur past you and you start to hear a low ring in your ears and then you feel the strain on your wings dissipate and you know you hit a sonic boom. You stir up dust in front of you and before you can put up you hands to protect you face, dust gets in your eyes making you lose control and ultimately crash into an apple tree. You miraculous don’t black out, and don't feel anything broken or bloody so you stand up and stretch. You hear and feel the rhythmic pop along your spine.

“Are you ok?” Rainbow dash asks frantically as she flies up to you.

“Yeah, I’ve been in worse crashes.” You say as you test your wings, making sure they are ok.

“Would y'all like an icepack?” Applejack asks.

“No, I’m fine.” You reply, your knees buckle and you drop, darkness swarming your vision. You black out before you even hit the ground.

You wake up on a very comfortable surface. You can hear voices. You distinguish Rainbow Dash's, Applejack's, Applebloom's, Big Mac's, a very old female voice, and Flash's and Speedy's.

“Are you sure he doesn't need to go to the hospital?” You hear Big Mac ask.

“Positive, I remember he took out two buildings once, out for a week. This is nothing.” You hear Speedy reply.

“Yes, see he regaining contentiousness right now.” You heard Flash say when you slowly tried to get up.

“I hate it when the black outs are delayed.” You say as something is pushed into your hands.

“Drink up buddy.” Speedy said. You quickly downed the liquid. It tasted like apple juice.

“You seem to get hurt a lot.” Rainbow Dash said with a small smile.

“Yeah, but I usually don't black out.” You say as you stand.

“So are you going to be ok? We have to move the clouds.” Rainbow Dash said. You nod and soon Flash, Speedy, Rainbow Dash, and yourself are up in the air. You and Rainbow Dash part with Speedy and Flash, to finish with the cloud duty.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Its been about a month since Flash and Speedy came over and stayed for a week. You are currently resting underneath a tree, next to Twilight and Spike, Rainbow Dash was teaching Scootaloo tips on flying.

“What is an 18 letter word for Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?” Twilight asked looking up from her crossword puzzle.

“Hippo-what?” You ask tearing you eyes away from your book, Daring Do 3.

“Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, its the fear of very long words.” Twilight explained.

“Naturally, no I don't.” You say as you go back to reading. You are almost done with the third book and you want to get started on the fourth. You feel a light weight on your outstretched legs and when you lower your book, a sweaty Scootaloo sitting on your legs is revealed to you.

“Hey Scoots, what happening?” You ask and you put your book mark in place and set the book aside.

“Not much Sonic I just needed a break.” She said letting out a deep sigh.

“Well I guess my lap is more comfortable that the nice soft grass.” You say with sarcasm as you hand her her water bottle.

“Of coarse.” She says as she takes a deep drink. Rainbow Dash comes in for a landing, you toss her her water bottle as she lands. She isn't as worn out as Scootaloo, but she drank just as greedily. When she was done she let out a loud burp.

“Really Dash, if you were anymore lady like you would be just like Rarity.” Twilight said looking at Dash. Dash just rolled her eyes and sat down in between you and Twilight. “Hey Dash, whats an 18 letter word for Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?” Twilight asked with a small laugh, her idea of a joke.

“Sesquipedalophobia.” She said as she took another drink from her water bottle, this one not so greedy. You look over at Twilight for confirmation. She took out her pocket thesaurus and started to flip through the pages.

“Holy Celestia, your right.” She says with a look of shock on her face.

“Naturally.” Scootaloo said with a big smile, this earned her a hair ruffle from Dash.

“Looks like we’re getting another Dash. She'll be dyeing her hair and doing dangerous stunts before we know it.” You say with a smile and a laugh.

“Celestia help us all.” Spike said looking off in the distance for dramatization. “Hey is there suppose to be a parade or something?” He asks with the look of puzzlement on his face.

“No, at least I don't think so.” Twilight said as she looked over to where ever Spike is staring, you look to. You can't see much except the whole town crowded around something.

“Lets go check it out!” Scootaloo yells as she jumps up and starts to run towards the crowd. You all get up and start to walk after her.

You get up to the crowd and the first thing that is clear is that it is only comprised of males. You spot Applejack leaning against a barrel and you walk up to her.

“Whats going on?” You ask her.

“Ah ain’t sure, there ah was selling apples like any normal day, then this woman came and all the boys swarmed her, her body guards seem like they have there hands full.” She said looking at the crowd. You and dash exchange a look and you both take to the air to figure out who could cause this much commotion. When you spot the most beautiful girl you have ever seen. She had long blonde hair, a face that was absolutely free of any blemish. Her dress that she had on was studded with diamonds and gems the size of softballs. Your heart drops to your stomach and you feel like your about to be sick. You snap your wings close and you drop to the ground and you instantly run and hide behind Twilight and Applejack and the barrel.

“Notherenotherenotherenothere...” You kept saying to yourself. Dash drops in front of you.

“What's wrong with you?” She asked crouching down next to you. You don't respond but instead you risk a look over the top of the barrel. You see a group of big men, all dressed in pink suits with blonde buzzed hair making a bee line to you. You scramble to your feet and start to back away slowly, the start to run at you and you take flight. You fly for a few seconds before looking back, you narrowly dodged a giant pink mass flying at you. They can fly now!? You ask in your head. You start to fly across the field away from Ponyville. The guards make it very hard for you to escape, every few seconds you have to do a loop or roll to dodge them when they made grabs for you. Out of the corner of your eye you catch a flash of rainbow, you snap your head to the color and you see Dash flying next to you.

“What the hell did you do?” She asks, you dodge another pink mass.

“I'll tell you later, just help me get rid of these guys!” You shout as you dodge another bodyguard. Rainbow Dash backs off and flies back to town. You eventually dive into a crevice, hoping to lose them that way, but there still there when you look back. At least they stopped trying to tackle you out of the sky, but you don't know when this crevice ends. You feel your pants vibrate and you pull out your phone, “Dash” Flashes on the screen.

“Yeah!” You say when you press your phone to your ear.

“Comeback to town and stand at the cross of Sugar and Sweets.” Dash says and she hangs up. You fly out of the crevice and you start to fly back to Ponyville. You push on more speed but not enough to do a sonic boom, but enough to keep the pink goons from trying to tackle you. You enter Ponyville and you fly low to the streets, you know where the cross of Sugar and Sweets is located at, but you take the long and winding way there. Once you are no longer in sight of the pink goons you quickly fly to the cross of Sugar and Sweets. You look around but there isn't anybody here. A door opens and you see Pinkie Pie waving you over and you run into the building, Pinkie closed the doors just as the pink goons arrive.

“I hope I don't look like that.” Pinkie said as she locked the door. You collapse to you knees, panting and you look around you at the room your in. It was just a room with a big table in the center six chairs were on one side of the table and one chair was on the other. Accompanying the chairs are Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and now Pinkie Pie. You assume the lone chair is for you and you slowly sit down in it.

“So, what was that all about?” Twilight asked, looking at you. You let out a sigh and rub the back of your neck.

“Well, you all heard of my ex right?” You ask, a nod all around confirmed that. “Well, that was her.” You say, each of the girls eyes were very wide. Rainbow Dash's and Applejack's mouths were hanging open. It was Rarity who spoke first.

“I'm sorry darling, but why would someone as gorgeous as her go out with you?” She asked, cocking her head a little.

“I have no idea, but when I broke up with her, she didn't exactly take it very nicely.” You say looking away. There was silence till Rainbow Dash cracked up laughing.

“So your telling me that she sent her little goons to try to catch you, just because she didn't take a break up the right way? Oh man that is rich.” She said whipping away a fake tear. You roll you eyes at her.

“Yeah, and if I know her correctly, she is at my apartment right now looking for me.” You say as you run a hand over your face. “I need to hide till she leaves.”

“Well it it's that big of a deal, you can hide out with me.” Dash says as she stands up and walks to the window, pushing the curtain aside a little and looking out.

“Thanks Dash, oh she will find out who my friends are and she will come looking for you guys.” You say.

“Don't worry Sugarcube, we won't tell her a thing.” Applejack said as she joined Dash at the window.

“Yeah, we will give them a false trail. It always happens in my books.” Twilight said with a smile. Everybody leave except for you and Dash.

“Ok, ready for this?” She asks as she has her hand on the door nob. You take a deep breath and nod. She opens the door and sticks her head out.

“We're clear. Come on.” She says. You both move with the shadows and after what felt like an hour you and Dash are under her house. You fly very fast up to the door and run inside. You flop down on her couch and she just laughs.

“Hey, you would be like this too if you have been stuck with her for the past four years.” You say, kicking off your shoes.

“I bet, so what do you want to do?” She asks sitting down next to you kicking her shoes off also.

“I have no idea, what do you usually do for fun on a Saturday night?” you ask, calming down a bit now that you were inside.

“Wanna watch some scary movies, or are you still to scared from getting here?” She asked in a mockingly tone, poking your side, making you squirm.

“I am perfectly calm.” You say as you grab her hand that was trying to poke you again, she tries to poke you with her other hand but you grab that one two and, being much stronger that her, you immobilize her.

“Now try to poke me.” You say as you stick your tongue out at her.

“Well I can't get the movies if you don't let go.” She says, you let go and she gets up and walks into her bedroom. You run your hands through your hair and you relax your shoulders, leaning your head off the back of the couch. You close your eyes for a minute. You feel something tickling your face and when you open your eyes you are greeted by a smiling Dash, her hair was just barely touching your face and her face was so close to yours you can spot the very light freckles that are on the bridge of her nose.

“Hello.” You say.

“Hi, I have the Monster of the Swamp trilogy and the Thing from the Dark trilogy. Which do you want to see?” She asks. You don't have the heart to tell her that you seen all of those movies in theaters when they came out so you pick the movie that made Flash and Speedy jump the most.

“The Thing from the Dark.” You say as you tilt your head back over the couch, you twist it to the right till you hear a loud pop. Dash pops the movie in the DVD player and tosses you the remote.

“I'm putting you in charge of skipping through the previews while I make the popcorn.” She says as she heads into the kitchen. It doesn't take you all of about ten seconds to skip the previews, so with time on your hands you head into the bathroom. You have been in Dashes house before but never slept over, you can't place it but you seem nervous about something. You dismiss it as seeing you ex after so long, then the chase.

You exit the bathroom just as Dash closes the front door. She was holding a picture and laughing uncontrollably. You take the picture when you look at it you feel your face flooding with red. It was a picture of you tied up upside down, hanging from a crane, your ex kissing your cheek. You assume one of her pink goons was at the door just now.

“You can stop laughing anytime soon.” You say as you hand the picture back.

“I'm sorry but that is just too funny.” She says between giggles.

“Is the popcorn done?” You ask impatiently as you sit back down on the couch.

“Yeah one sec.” She says and disappears into the kitchen and returns with a giant bowl of popcorn. She switches the light off and sits next to you and you play the movie. You are surprised but the movie actually takes your mind off the earlier events of the day. You can tell the movie is freaking Dash out by the way she jumps a little at every scary part and her eyes are glued to the TV. She has also, not knowingly, you guess, moved over so that she was practically sitting on your lap. It wasn't like you were going to complain or anything. The movie ends and she realizes where she is sitting and quickly scoots over, her face splotched with red. You're not sure is she was embarrassed about her being so close to you, or getting scared so many times during the movie. You play the next movie in the trilogy. This time Dash doesn't get scared as many times but her fingers did find yours, again you assume she didn't have any control over it. The movie ended, but you didn't let go of Dashes fingers, you aren't too sure of what you are about to do, but you have an idea. Dash looks at your fingers intertwined with yours and looks back into your eyes. You close the distance that was between your lips and hers, which wasn't much considering she had moved very close again during the movie. You break and start to realize what you just did.

“D-dash, I'm so sorry-” You try to explain, but you are cut off when Dash kisses you again out of the blue. You see she has a red face when she breaks off the kiss.

“Sorry, but I just wanted to do that for a while now.” She said as she turned her head trying to hide a smile. You put your arm around her shoulders and she rests her head on your shoulder and you start the next movie. She didn't jump as much, but she did jump quite a bit.

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

You wake up to a light pressure on your chest and the feel of light soft feathers over you like a blanket. You sense another presence that is in the room with you, really close to your face. Suddenly alarmed you snap your eyes open and you are greeted with a very startled Fluttershy. She lets out a very high pitched and loud 'eep!' waking Dash.

“What the-?” She asked in the stupor of sleep, she sat up quickly, looking around for the sound that woke her. Her eyes fell upon Fluttershy who was backed into the wall, her face a deep red color.

“Hey Fluttershy, whats up?” Dash asked still half asleep, as she settled herself back on your chest, trying to snuggle closer. Suddenly she understood the situation she was in, her eyes flew open and quickly threw herself off you.

“Fluttershy! What are you doing here? How did you get it?” Dash asked quickly, her eyes wide.

“The door was unlocked.” She said very quietly, pointing to the door.

“Shit.” Dash said with a sigh, you moved your feet and she sat down. You stand up and stretch, you feel satisfied when you hear and feel multiple pops from your back. You then realize that you have no shirt on and you are showing Fluttershy your abs, who has gone even redder in the face.

“Sorry.” You say as stop shoving your abs in Fluttershy's face. You head into the bathroom and find your shirt, dry but it still smelled like soda. The event from last night came back to you, after the last movie of the trilogy Dash was thirsty so she got a soda, but spilled it all over you.

You leave the bathroom and see Dash talking to Fluttershy.

“... and that's why I was sleeping on top of Sonic.” She finished.

“So does that mean you two are a couple?” Fluttershy asked in a quiet voice.

“Well, yeah.” Dash replied, with a shy smile. “So what did you come here for?”

“Oh, I was suppose to tell Sonic that his ex is still here but her body guards have left his house.” She said quietly.

“Well that's good but I still need her to leave Ponyville.” You say as you sit next to Dash, you grab your phone and dial Flash's number, he picks up on the third ring.

“Hello?” He asks cheerfully.

“I have a big problem.” You say.

“Spill the beans, what is it?”

“Elegance is here in Ponyville.”

“Oh shit. When did she arrive?”

“Yesterday. I need to figure out a way to make her get out of Ponyville.” You say as you run a hand through your hair. Flash is silent for a few minutes.

“Maybe you can come to Manehatten and hope she follows.” He says with a sigh.

“That's not too bad of an idea. That's what I’ll do, thanks man.” You say and quickly hang up.

“What's a good idea?” Dash asks.

“I'm going back to Manehatten and hope Elegance will follow.” You say as you rub eyes, letting out a yawn.

“Elegance?” Dash asks with a snicker. You sigh you got the same snicker from Flash and Speedy when you told them about her.

“Yes, Elegance.” You say as you rest your head on the back of the couch.

“I-I think I’ll just leave.” Fluttershy said quietly and she quickly walked out the door, you couldn't help but think that she really wanted to run. As soon as she left Dash leaned over and gave you a quick kiss on your cheek and stood up walking to the kitchen.

“Would you like some breakfast?” She asked looking back at you.

“Yeah I could go for some breakfast.” You say as you stand and join her. She started to grab eggs and milk from the fridge. She pours two glasses of milk and hands you one, while she drinks hers.

“I never really had a fond taste for milk.” You say and you down the glass of milk in one gulp. The familiar taste of sulfur that only you can taste lingers on your tongue.

“If you don't like it then why drink it?” Dash asked slowly sipping hers.

“Because my father made me when I was little. 'It will help my bones grow and I’ll be just like my brother' he would say, well my brother is six-six and I’m just six foot. I guess I drink it out of habit now.” You say. Her only response?

“You have a brother?” She asked with a raised eyebrow, making you laugh.

“Yes I have a brother. Would you like to see a picture?” You ask jokingly.

“Yes I would.” She said as she started to pull pans. You take out you phone and open the pictures album, you quickly find the only picture of your brother you have. It was at a family competition thing, where each member of the family takes part in. You took first and your brother took second. Even with you on a foot tall white block, he was still taller than you. This picture was taken a few years ago, and ever since that competition he got very demoted to body building. You hand Dash you phone.

“Nice job, you beat him.” She said as she handed your phone back.

“Yeah but he got the treat and I got grounded for a month.” You say under your breath, but Dash heard you.

“Why? Did you cheat?” She asked. You silently curse yourself.

“No, he did actually with my fathers help. I got grounded because my family hates me.” You say as you start to warm up a pan.

“I'm sure it seems that way.” Dash said.

“If you ever met my family, you would see it.” You say as you crack two egg into the pan, each with one hand.

“You gotta show me how to do that.” Dash says as she starts to brew some coffee. The eggs are done in no time and you set them on a plate and start the next ones. You hear a ding come from the coffee pot.

“Would you like a cup?” Dash asks pouring coffee in a mug.

“Sure.” You say and she hands you the cup. You take a sip and it takes everything you have not to spit it on the floor. I guess cooking is not her strong suit. You think to yourself as you set down the cup.

“Ah, perfect brew.” She said as she sipped her cup. You resist to look at her like she's crazy and go back to your eggs. You put theses eggs on another plate and turn off the burner. You hand Dash her plate and you both sit at the table.

“So when are you leaving?” Dash asks taking a bite of her eggs.

“As soon as I can get back to my apartment and get some money.” You reply.

“How long are you going to be gone?” She asks.

“Not sure, a week at the most.” You say and Dash chuckles.

“I'm not too sure I can last a week with out you.” She says jokingly.

“Nonsense, you have Scoots.” You say.

“But I can't watch scary movies, then cuddle afterward with Scoots.” She says with a small laugh.

“I'm sure you could, it would just be weird.” You say.

“Yeah, I think weird would be an understatement.” Dash says as she finishes her eggs. You take her plate and you put them in the sink. “Would you like some company in Manehatten?” She asks her voice a small bit hopeful.

“Sorry, but it's probably a good idea for you to stay here, I've made quite a few enemies in Manehatten. I would hate for you to get hurt.” You say turning to look at Dash. She looked very annoyed.

“I'm not going to break you know, I'm not some flower.” She said, crossing her arms and looking very annoyed.

“Yeah I've noticed. But it would just make me feel better if I knew you were to stay here where it is safe.” You say looking into her eyes that are a nice dark pink.

“Fine. Whatever you say.” Dash says with a huff and walks off. Dammit. You silently curse yourself and you walk after her. You see her climbing the stairs when she reaches the top she turns to look at you.

“I'm getting dressed, after that we will go to your apartment then the train station.” She says and she disappears into her room. You sit on the couch and pull on your shoes and shove your things back into your pockets, by the time you were done Dash was coming from her room dressed in a completely different outfit and her always messy hair in a ponytail.

“Damn that was fast.” You say.

“I am the fastest.” She said, her voice no longer with traces of annoyance or anger but with pride. You get worried.

You didn't see any pink bodyguards in the air or on the streets so getting to your apartment was very easy and you open your door in about ten minutes. You pack a few cloths and grab all of your money, you probably won't need all of it, but still. While at your apartment you brush your teeth trying to get the taste of milk and bad coffee from your mouth. On your way to the train station you stop by Twilight's library and tell her whats what.

You arrive at the train station and buy one ticket, Dash leaves you at the gate. On the train you find an empty compartment and you lay on one of the benches, trying to catch up on some sleep.

You are walking down the same dark corridor, you don't walk back into the corridor or into the room off the hallway. Instead you start to walk, then run, then go into a full on sprint at the window at the end of the hall. You keep expecting something to grab your foot and trip you but it never does. You jump and break through the window. You expect ground but instead there is only air. You snap open your wings and you start to fly, you look back and see a very old house sitting on a broken cliff, just about to fall. You look up and you see a red sky, you look down and you see ruins. You fly for what seems like forever and you come upon a ruined Ponyville. You fly down and land on the streets. You look all around, every building is in ruins, windows broken, doors in half. You turn and you see Twilight. You stop in your tracks. She starts to walk towards you, her movements jerky and with every movement you can hear a sickening crack. About five feet away from you she stops and her skin starts to melt. The grotesque black bald thing from the house is revealed to you. It reaches back and it's hand turns into a very sickening blade and thrusts it at you.

You wake up and quickly sit up, but something stops you from making it all the way and you crack you head on whatever was there. You hear a groan in a familiar voice and you look over.

“Damn Dash, you have one hard head.” You say with a groan.

“Your telling me.” Dash says holding her forehead. “It's your fault if I'm bleeding.”

“Your not even suppose to be on this train.” You say as you rub your head.

“You don't seem too surprised.” Dash says.

“I figured you would do something like this.” You say as you sit up right and stand, you crack your neck.

“I hope you know what you're getting yourself into.” You say as you help Dash up off the floor.

“I'm sure I can handle it.” Dash says in mockingly tone, as she sits down on the bench next to you.

“I'm just saying, I wasn't kidding when I said that I have made some enemies.” You say.

“Note taken.” Dash says as she rests her head on your shoulder. You hear her start to snore softly so you decide it would be best to get some rest also, hopefully not returning to your dream.

You wake up to 'Please get ready for departure. We are about to arrive at Manehatten.' over the intercom. You shake Dash awake.

“Wha-?” She asked.

“We're almost at Manehatten.” You say and she takes her head off your shoulder. You gather your bags and you depart the train when it arrives at the station. You take a deep breath and you have instant memories. You shudder at the thought of them.

“Come on lets find a hotel.” You say, Dash takes your hand and together you walk down the street. Your already regretting this decision.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“Now what do we do?” Dash asked as she flopped down on the bed in your shabby hotel room.

“Now we just do stuff that Elegance will notice and wait.” you replied as you flop down beside her.

“What did you have in mind?” she asked as she rolled over onto your shoulder. You take out your phone and call Speedy.

“Hey Speedy.” you say causally.

“Hey man, I heard that you are suppose to come back to Manehatten for a week or something.” he said, he sounded bored.

“Yeah, I'm here in a shabby hotel room, you want to do something?” you ask.

“Hell yeah dude, just like what we use to do.” Speedy replies. It sounded like he was typing on a keyboard.

“Well not everything, I've got Dash with me.” you say.

“Cool, cool.” he says.

“Yeah man she totally wants your 'D'.” you say jokingly.

“Hey that's nice look can I call you back after work?” Speedy asks In a dull voice.

“Looking up porn is not a job dude.”

“Yes it is. Anyways see you dude.” Speedy says and hangs up. You look at Dash.

“He is so miserable.” you say.

“I can tell, I’m thinking about reconsidering wanting his 'D'.” Dash said seriously. You decide to call Flash, hopefully you will get a response out of him.

“This is Hot Air Balloons R' Us. My name is Flashexander Wave, how can I help you.” you hear, you start to chuckle.

“I need two buddies to wreck havoc at night just like old times, can you help me?” you ask sarcastically.

“Let me see what I can do. Please hold.” Flash said and he put you on hold. It was a catchy little tune. “Ok, I get off at five, shall we meet at the usually spot?” he asked.

“Sure.” you reply.

“Ok thank you sir and please if you have any hot air balloon problems, please give us a call.” Flash said before hanging up.

“And that is how that is done.” you say and you put your phone back in your pocket.

“So what do we do in the mean time?” Dash asks.

“Wanna get lunch?” you ask.

“Sure.” Dash replies and she gets up. You stand up and walk out of your room. You both take off and head to an old dinner that has the best hamburgers. You walk in the shop and pick a both table.

“Hey sugar, what can I get for you two?” an old woman asked when she walked up to the table, she sounded and looked like a clique dinner waitress.

“I would like a hamburger, extra onions and cheese, some sweet potato fries, onion rings, and a large soda.” you say, briefly looking over the menu. Dash takes longer to decide.

“I would like a burger, no onions, extra cheese, fries, and a large soda.” Dash says finally. The waitress just chuckles to herself.

“Would you like a mint sweetheart?” she asked. Before you can answer Dash answers for you.

“Yes he would,” She turns to you, “I am not kissing you with onion breath.”

“I will be out with y'alls order.” The waitress said as she walk away chuckling to herself. You take one of the coloring pages for the kids and start to draw.

“So I assume that you two go back?” Dash asked.

“Yeah, there's a small room that she lets me use when I get kicked out of my house.” you reply, focused on your drawing.

“Did you get kicked out often?” Dash asked.

“Um, yeah. Yeah I did.” you say as you start to color the picture with a nice light blue color. Dash is silent for a till the waitress bring out the food.

“Ah thank you.” she says.

“Well, she is much more polite than the last one. I’m happy to say I approve.” the waitress say with a smile as she hands you a straw.

“Thanks.” you say and the waitress left. You start to eat on your fries and you continue to color your picture, switching between all colors.

“This is probably the best burger I have ever eaten.” Dash says though a mouthful of food, making you laugh.

“Yeah its pretty good.” You say and you take the first bite of your burger, the onions are the first thing that you taste, sweet yet with a touch of bitter. Then come the onslaught of flavors that only Chef the chef could accomplish. Dash quickly wolfs down her burger and instantly regrets doing so, the first time you had one of Chef's burgers you did the same thing and you can relate to Dash's look of disappointment. You cut your burger in half and give it to her, she just looks at you like a child on Christmas. She takes her time on her half. You finish your half of the burger, and go back to eating your fries and coloring your picture.

“What's your father like?” Dash asks out of the blue.

“Um, well he's well kept I guess. Really high standards. Owner of a huge company. Why?” you ask.

“No, I mean what is he like to you?” she asks.

“Oh.” you say with a sudden sadness. “Well, he's very expectant, hard to please. I could always tell that he never really liked me. Hell, one time he came home after an office party, drunk off his ass, he told me I was a disappointment. Confirmed it in the morning.”

“That's horrible, why would he be disappointed in a great flier like you?” Dash asked

“Because I can fly.” you say. The look from Dash said that she didn't understand, you really didn't want to explain but you feel compelled to do so. “Everybody in my family, both my mothers side and my fathers side, only gave birth to those who could preform magic. Well I was the first one with wings ever. The only reason I have wings is because the very first male that started the line had wings. The gene stayed dormant for hundreds of years till now. That's why my father hates me.” you sit back and take a deep drink from your soda.

You two finish you meal in silence and the waitress comes back and hands you a check and a mint. You quickly pay the check and pop the mint in your mouth. You fold up the picture and together you and Dash step out in the busy streets of Manehatten.

“So what now?” Dash asked.

“Wanna torment my friends at work?” You ask.

“Sure!” Dash exclaims and together they both of you take off to the book store that Speedy works at.

It takes you a few minutes but eventually you find the book store.

“Hey, Speedy.” You say as you walk in the store and spot him at the check out desk. The life looked like it was getting sucked out of him.

“Hey.” he said in a deadpan voice.

“We're going to hang out here for a couple of hours, k?” You ask. Speedy just nods. You and Dash escape to the comics section.

“Something's been bothering me ever since we left the diner.” Dash says looking through the shelves.

“Oh? And what's that?” you ask.

“What did you draw?” She asks. You take out the picture and hand it to Dash. She opens it in bewilderment. “Me as a pony?” She asked.

“Yeah, it seemed to fit you, no offence.” You say, earning a kiss on the cheek.

“That is very sweet.” She says as she goes back to the comics.

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

“Lets get drunk!” Speedy shouted into the night air. Flash had shown up about five minutes ago and after the last couple of hours of working in a very dull book shop, Speedy's happiness and energy has been dulled down by a ton.

“I'm game,” Flash said as he fixed his glasses. You look at Dash.

“You up for it?” you ask.

“Yeah I’m down.” Dash says, entangling her fingers with yours. “You know any place that is any good, I don't exactly feel like getting wasted in a shitty bar.”

“Oh ho. Just you wait little girl. We know the best bar in town- no, the world,” Speedy says as he walks backwards down a seemingly random alleyway. After what seemed to be forever they stopped in front of a very shabby looking building.

“I thought that you said that this was the best bar in the world?” Dash asked Speedy. You chuckle and drag her inside, the others following.

“Micky! I need a round of beers!” you shout as you find a booth. Just as the four of you sit down a tall slender woman, dressed in a pirate wenches outfit came strolling up to the table with four very large mugs, over flowing with golden amber liquid.

“Well howdy, I haven't seen you three in forever. And I don't think I’ve ever seen you sweetheart,” she said as she sat the drinks down. She turned towards you. “You got quite the looker honey,” she said with a wink and left. The four of you each grabbed a mug.

“To a long and fun life!” Flash cheered.

“Here, here!” the rest of you cheered. You brought the mug up to your lips and you are instantly greeted with the tart yet delicious taste of the ale. You chugged the whole mug and slam it down on the table, followed by two other slams. You look over at Dash who was still drinking. She finally put down her mug but it was still half full.

“Damn,” Dash said coughing. You pat her on the back.

“Maybe on day you will be able to keep up with us,” you say with a laugh. The next couple hours pass in a blur and before you know it, you are stumbling through a back alley with Dash hanging on your side, while Speedy and Flash walk like drunk ants in front of you.

“So what do you guys want to do?” Speedy asked, running into Flash, almost tripping over his feet.

“Strip joint,” Flash said.

“How about no,” Dash said. You laugh.

“When was the last time we raced?” you ask.

“Not gonna happen, I don't need you in a hospital tonight,” Dash said giving you a quick kiss on the cheek.

“How about we go to the ruins?” Speedy suggested.

“What's the ruins?” Dash asked cocking her head to the side.

“The ruins are a whole neighbor hood made out of brick. After about a century the buildings collapsed, leaving behind ruins. Everybody's scared to go there on account of the ten murders,” Flash explained calmly.

“Murders?” Dash asked her voice curious, not scared.

“That's just an urban legend. It got started a while back, we would tell people about it, but hey, a good quiet place to hang out,” you say.

“Lets go!” Dash exclaims as she tries to take off, but her wings seem to be failing her.

“I think we should walk,” you say with a laugh. With that, the four of you take off for a location that is secrete to Dash. It takes about an hour to get there and you have walked off some of your drunk.

“Wow,” said Dash, still clinging to your side, a lot more calm than walking out of the bar.

“Yeah, just wait till you see the club house,” Speedy said taking off in a seemingly random direction. It takes about twenty minutes to find the secrete door. Inside there is the remains of a dirty couch, an old broken T.V., and embarrassing amount of Playstallion on a crate that served as a coffee table, and what seemed to be about a foot of dust on everything. You and Dash sit down on the couch, it sagging underneath you. Dash leans forward and picks up a Playstallion magazine and looks at you with a raised eyebrow.

“It's not mine I swear,” You say.

“Yeah, well I guess what with a broken T.V., you have to entertain yourself some how,” Dash said with a wink, tossing the magazine back on the pile. Speedy picks it up and flips to the pull out page.

“Ah, Mrs. January, nice and perky,” he commented.

“I remember when we all tried to get this place the ok to be considered live-able,” Flash said looking around.

“Yeah, we got chased out of the office with a broom,” you say, caught up with memories.

“That old bat, broke the damn thing over my head,” Speedy said as he plopped down on the couch next to Dash, who has snuggled up to you.

You hear a chime and you look over at Flash. He had his phone out and was texting rapidly.

“I have to go, my mom is worrying about me,” He said as he headed for the door.

“That man needs to move out,” Speedy said still flipping through the magazine.

“You know his mom wouldn't survive a day without him,” you say.

“Yeah well ain't no woman can make me go,” Speedy said as his phone rang. He opened the text and grumbled something under his breath. “I gotta go,” he said walking out the door, taking the magazine with him.

“And then there were two,” Dash said looking up at you. You kiss her nose, making her giggle.

“Yup,” you say. Dash then lets out a small sneeze.

“Bless you, I suppose staying in a dust old clubhouse isn't the best choice,” you say.

“Nope, wanna go back to the hotel?” Dash asks, resting her head on your chest.

“Yeah, lets go,” you say, the two of you get up and head back to the hotel, it wasn't that far so you make it in about ten minutes. You and Dash fall on the bed when you enter the room.

“Well this was a very good night,” Dash said as she cuddled closer to you.

“Well, you know, this night could get a lot better...” you imply, wrapping your arms around her.

“You're right, it could. But I’m too tired and not nearly as drunk anymore, so you'll just have to be happy with this,” Dash said sticking her tongue out. You roll your eyes, but you don't complain. After a few minutes you can hear the soft snore of a sleeping Rainbow Dash, and you are quickly encased in the darkness that accompanies slumber.

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

You wake up with a clear head, you never suffered the consequences of the dreaded hangover. Dash however isn't that lucky.

“Ooh, my head,” Dash moaned, trying to bury her head deeper into your chest. You look out the one window in the room and see that it was still dark. You try to pry Dash off of you but she just shakes her head, winces, and hangs on even tighter.

“Dashie, if you don't let me up, I can't make the drink that will rid you of your hangover,” you say.

“Fine but when you're done, you will come back to bed, we're not done cuddling,” Dash said as she got off you. You quickly find all of what you need. You gather toothpaste, soda, sugar, chocolate powder, and some fruit that you found in the small fridge in the room, and put them in a blender. After a few minutes on the highest setting, the concoction is done and you pour Dash a glass. You bring it to her in bed and she takes a sip. She grimaces at the taste.

“That tastes like crap!” She exclaimed, whipping her tongue on her sleeve.

“Yeah, but if you want to get rid of the handover, you have to drink it all,” you say, offering her the cup again. With a grimace she downs the cup.

“Gah! That was gross, now fill your part of the bargain,” Dash said. You set the cup of the nightstand and get back into bed. Dash lays her head on your chest again and just lays there. After a while she broke the silence. “Can I meet your parents?”

The question catches you off guard and you start to fidget.

“I'd rather you not,” you say.

“Why not?” Dash asked looking up at you with puppy dog eyes. You hesitate, contemplating on whether you should tell her or not.

“Just,” you say, trying to find the right words, “well, it's just...” you tried but you couldn't find the words.

“Are you ashamed of me?” Dash asked.

“No, it's just I’m ashamed of them. Also, I didn't exactly leave off the right foot with them,” you say, letting out a sigh.

“Well, I don't care if your ashamed, and you could use this opportunity to make amends with your family,” Dash said.

“Well maybe I don't want to make amends...” you mutter.

“What?” Dash asked.

“Nothing, you are going to make me go aren't you?” you ask, rubbing your eyes.

“No, but if you don't go, your going to always feel unaccomplished or something, how does that go?” Dash asked, thinking. You sigh deeply.

“You're going to make me regret this aren’t you?” You ask

“I have no idea what you're talking about,” Dash said as she leaned up and gave you a quick kiss.

“Fine, but we will wait till later,” you say giving in.
~*A Few Hours Later*~

“Can we do this maybe another time?” you plead with Dash. Walking down your old road has given you a bad case of deja vu. Bad deja vu.

“What? No! We're too close now!” Dash said as she hung off your arm. You walk around a corner and are faced with a massive white house.

“Here we are,” You say, feeling your stomach in knots.

“This is your old house? Damn you must have been loaded,” Dash said in awe of the two story beautiful house.

“Lets just get this over with,” You say and the two of you make your way to the mahogany door. You knock three times and after a few seconds it swings open and a very old man standing straight and in a suit greets you. “Hello Butler, are my parents home?” You ask nervously.

“Ah young master. How I’ve missed you, it certainly has been quiet with you no longer around,” the butler said, he turned to Dash. “And who is this lovely miss?”

“This is Rainbow Dash,” you say proudly. Butler looks back at you.

“If you don't mind me saying, much of an improvement than the last one,” he said making Dash blush. He led you into the foyer said, “One moment please.” and he left you both.

“He seemed nice,” Dash commented.

“Yeah, he always looked out for me. Butler is more of a father than my real one will be,” you say, you open and close your hands and you feel sweat roll down your neck despite the air becoming colder with the season. You feel a reassuring hand find it's way in your hand, and you look over at a smiling Dash.

“It'll be alright, you have nothing to worry about,” Dash said squeezing your hand, you give a smile and a squeeze back. This moment was quickly banished to the great big doors that led to the other parts of the house slam open. You turn and you see a man with graying black hair, wearing a suit and tie, followed my a tall red haired woman with a red dress that one would think that was only used for going out, they both swiftly move towards you, before you can react the man lifts a jeweled cane he used to walk up high and brought it down. You feel the familiar sting of it as it strikes you on your upper brow, you feel something wet roll down your face and you hear Dash gasp. You look at your father with hatred in your eyes, you don't bother to wipe the blood off your face.

“Long time no see, Richy,” you say, poison dripping off your words.

The man raised his cane again. “You will address me with “Father”!” he yelled as he brought his cane down once more, though instead of hitting your head again, you shoot out a hand and stop it. You jerk the cane out of his hand and turned it against him.

“I stopped calling you “Father” long ago, Richy. Your lucky I’m not calling you a bastard,” you say. “Anyway, I just came by to tell you to stop trying to call me, it is becoming quite annoying,” You say turning to your mother. You turn and storm out, Dash at your heels. You can faintly hear your father yell the house, now about three blocks away, and Rainbow Dash at your side trying to talk to you, but you have too much adrenaline and blood running down your face to be able to hear either of them. You realize that you still have the very expensive cane, you march up to the nearest homeless man.

“Here, this is a million dollar cane. Sell it and I hope good health and more is upon you,” you say, you quickly start to walk again. You don't stop till you reach the hotel that Dash and you are staying at, you quickly head to the bathroom. You run the water and start to clean the blood off your face. You realize that your shirt is bloody so you take it off as well, you toss the shirt on the toilet seat and you see Dash standing in the door frame, tears running down her face. Shit... you think to yourself. You walk to Dash and warp your arms around her, she in turn wrapped her hands around you.

After what seems like a while, you and Dash break apart and you get back to fixing up your brow. You ended up putting in stitches and placed a bandage over it. You exit the bathroom and you see Dash nodding off at the table. With a sudden tiredness you close the curtains on the window, nice and tight, and guided Dash to the bed, you climb next to her and you switch off the light, plunging the whole room into darkness.

“Night Rainbow Dash,” you say as you kiss the top of her head.

“Good night Sonic Wave,” Dash replied, nuzzling you.

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

You woke up to your phone ringing, your head throbbing, and you covered in sweat. You feel Dash stir next to you as you feel around for your phone on the nightstand.

“Hello?” you ask, your voice slurred with sleep.

“Hey it's Twilight,” Twilight replied on the other end. “I was just calling to tell you that your ex has left ponyville, it's safe for you to come back.”

“Thanks,” you say, rubbing your eyes.

“No problem, see you two soon,” Twilight said before she hung up. You put your phone back on the table and turn back to Dash.

“Who was that?” Dash asked as she buried herself into your chest.

“Twilight, Elegance has left Ponyville, we should probably leave now,” you say, stifling a yawn.

“Alright, I need to use the bathroom though,” Dash said, she got up and went into the bathroom closing the door. You get up and stretch, your spine pops and you let out a big sigh. You walk over to the window, brush aside the curtains, and see the sun is just setting. You turn on a lamp and pull out new pants and a shirt. You change and as you finish putting on your shirt you hear the toilet flushing and the tap run for a minute, Dash emerged from the bathroom minutes later. She walks over and sits on the bed next to you, she lays her head on your shoulder. You kiss the top of her head.

“Hey, do you have any cloths that I can borrow for today? I didn't pack anything,” Dash asked.

“Yeah,” you say as you start to dig around in your bag. You pull out a black t-shirt, worn blue jeans, and a belt. “Here you go.”

“Thanks,” Dash says, she kisses you on the cheek before walking to the bathroom once more. While she is in the bathroom you start to put everything back. Dash returns from the bathroom momentarily.

“Just had to give me the tightest shirt you had, huh?” Dash asked in a playful tone and a giggle.

“Wha-?” you start to ask, you lose your words when you look up. Dash's chest looked larger than normal, and you had a hard time looking away. Now that you think about it, it would make sense, the shirt was rather tight on you. Miraculously you manage to look away, though not fast enough, Dash started to giggle as she saw you start to blush. With a smirk she helped you clean up.

With everything packed and cleaned up, you and Dash head to the front desk and return your key. You both fly to the train station, and sooner rather than later, you both are entering an empty compartment. You toss your duffel bag on the luggage rack over head and sit besides Dash, who rests her head on your shoulder again. With a smile you reach over and turn off the lamp, casting the compartment into darkness. You relax in the seat, and you find yourself nodding off.

“We are coming into the Ponyville Train Station, please get ready to depart.” You snap awake at the sound of the voice over the intercom. You rub your eyes and the movement wakes Dash.

“Grr, can't we wait to get up?” Dash asked as she stretched out, you stood to retrieve your bag.

“No, we have to leave. Besides, a big, comfortable bed, would feel a lot better,” you say as you feel the train start to slow. The two of you depart and start to walk down the main road of Ponyville. “So, are you wanting to fly to your house?”
“Nah, I’m too tired, I’ll sleep with you at your apartment,” Dash said through a big yawn. As you walk you look in every nook and cranny you pass, for anything pink. Luckily, you don't spot anything pink on the way to your house so you relax. Your apartment looks exactly the same as you left, though now there is a very light layer of dust on everything. You and Dash waste no time in going straight to the bed, you don't even bother kicking off your shoes. The moment your head hits the pillow, your out like a light.

You wake up to somebody pounding away at your door, and not stopping.

“Gah! Tell them we don't want any girl scout cookies!” Dash groaned as she covered her head with a pillow. It is apparent that whoever is at the door will not stop knocking till you answer the door. You get up with a sigh, you pass a mirror and see your hair extremely messy, it sticking up on one side. Too early for this shit... You think as the pounding increases. You look out the peep hole and you see nobody, yet the pounding continues. With a quizzical look on your face you open the door and look down at a very disgruntled Scootaloo looking up at you, with her hands on her hips. You gotta admit, she look more adorable than normal.

“Hey Scoots,” you say.

“Go away, we don't want your girl scouts cookies!” you hear Dash yell from the bedroom. You turn back to Scootaloo.

“What can I do for you Scootaloo?”

“Rainbow Dash promised that she would help teach me to fly today,” she said impatiently.

“Oh, well... come on in,” you say stepping aside, “make yourself at home.” You enter your bedroom, closing the door behind you.

“Did you tell them we don't want their girl scout cookies?” Dash asked.

“Last time I checked, Scootaloo didn't sell girl scout cookies,” you say as you pull off your shirt and replace it with a light blue long sleeve.

“What is Scootaloo doing here?”

“You promised to help her fly.”

“Oh shit...” Dash groaned as she remembered With a sigh she got up and walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, with you behind her.

“Would you like some breakfast Scoots?” you ask as you enter your kitchen.

“Lunch you mean,” Scootaloo replied. You check the clock that reads 12:50.

“Oh.”

“But yes I would like some lunch,” Scootaloo continued. Ever since Dash exited the room, Scootaloo didn't take her eyes off her, Dash finally noticed this.

“What?” she asked.

“Your boobs look bigger,” Scootaloo stated making you drop the pan you were holding, and making Dash burst out laughing. You quickly finish making lunch, Scootaloo's question going unanswered. As you three were sitting on the couch eating, when a though came to you. You look over at Scootaloo.

“How did you know Dash and I were together?”

“I'm not stupid you know,” she said with a deadpan look on her face. “Are you guys almost done yet, we have to spent the whole day together!”

“Well I’m done, you Dash?” you ask looking to your left. She spooned the last bit of food she had in her mouth and nodded. You grab both plates and head to the sink, dropping off the dishes, you still had you and Dash still have your shoes on so you all head out and let the day begin with Scootaloo excitedly jumping around you and Dash.

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

You try to rub the sleep out of your eyes, but no matter what you do, you can't seem to wake up fully. “I need some coffee.”

“I could go for a cup,” Dash says through a yawn.

“I want some coffee!” Scootaloo exclaims excitedly. She was ridding her scooter next to you and Dash as you three walked through Ponyville.

“No, your too hyper as is,” you say.

“Aww,” you hear Scootaloo say. You look around and see a coffee vendor, so you stroll up to him.

“Hey can I get two coffees, one with cream and sugar, one with sugar, lots of sugar, and a few juice boxes, please?” you ask.

“Certainly,” the vendor man said, he disappeared for a minute and reappeared with two coffees and three juice boxes on a disposable tray. You pay and walk back to the girls.

“Cream and sugar for you,” you say as you hand Dash her coffee, “and juice for you,” you say as you hand Scootaloo one of the juice boxes.

“Oh! Thanks Sonic!” Scootaloo says excitedly taking the apple juice from you. You chuckle and take a sip of your coffee, the bitter taste almost masked by the sugar. Almost. You three start to walk again and after a few minutes Scootaloo was tugging at your sleeve. “Can I please have a small sip of your coffee?” she asked with puppy dog eyes.

My weakness! You think to yourself, you then get an idea: If Scootaloo sees how nasty tasting the coffee is, she will never ask for a cup again. With a fake sigh you hand her your drink. “Careful, it's hot.”

Scootaloo's eyes widened with glee and she took a sip. She instantly distorted her face and shoved your coffee into your hands, she drained her apple juice. “Gah! How can you drink that horrid stuff?” she asked when she could talk again. You and Dash just start to laugh.

“It's a required taste.”

“Whatever, lets get going!” Scootaloo said as she got back on her scooter and started to scoot towards the open grassy fields.

You arrive and you head under the shade of a tree. Ten feet away you could here Dash give instructions to Scootaloo. They both start with stretches, then push ups, next onto jogging in place, then practice flapping of the wings. After all of this, they are ready to truly practice. With some encouraging words, Scootaloo manages to hover a few feet off the ground, coming up to Dash's chin. Dash then starts to instruct Scootaloo on how to tilt her wings so that you can move and also still be in the air. Scootaloo tries this but immediately flies to the ground. You begin to laugh.

“Hey, don't laugh,” Scootaloo says.

“I'm not laughing at you, I’m laughing at Dash's teaching technique,” you say still laughing lightly.

“Whats wrong with my technique? That's how I was taught,” Dash says putting her hands on her hips.

“Yeah whats wrong with it?” Scootaloo said, mimicking Dash.

“I don't suppose anything is wrong with it, it's just not how I was taught, so it is automatically funny to me.”

“Oh? And you think you could teach Scootaloo how to fly better with how you were taught?”

“Positive.”

“Well then why don't you do it?”

“Because I was taught the same way birds are taught.”

“How to birds learn to fly?” Scootaloo asked excitedly.

“They push them off nest and the baby birds hope they can fly.”

“Wait, you were pushed out of a tree?” Dash asked, clearly confused.

“Nope, I was pushed off my father's skyscraper, by my brother,” Dash looked concerned, yet she hid it well.

“What!?” Scootaloo yells.

“Yup, that's why I won't teach you how to fly. Though I can try to help you learn to fly, two teachers are better than one right?”

“Yay!” Scootaloo yelled as she jumped with joy. You have never taught anybody how to fly, so this is all new to you. However, you find that it is a lot easier to teach somebody through showing them. So for the next couple of hours you demonstrate to Scootaloo how to fly through moving your wings extremely slow, so she could understand what she was doing.

At first she couldn't get it right, but she slowly made progress; from falling directly to the ground, to slowly moving ahead a few inches then falling to the ground, to making it to a few feet and landing on the ground, very rough, but still better. It was getting when you decided to go out for dinner, you treat the girls to a nice large pizza.

“Thanks for taking me out today, Sonic,” Scootaloo said as she took a bite of her fourth slice of pizza.

“It was my pleasure, Scoots, anytime you feel like you need to hang out, call me up,” You tell Scootaloo, ruffling her hair. She squirms under your touch, but the smile of her face says that she liked it. You check your phone and notice the time. “Well, it's getting late, we should take you home.” You ask for a take out box and with the leftover pizza tucked under your arm you three take your leave. “So Scoots, where do you live?”

“Well, I live...” Scootaloo started but her voice grew quieter till she was barely audible.

“What was that sweetheart?”

“I live at the...” again going very quiet.

“One more time? I couldn't quite hear you.”

“I said that I live in the... orphanage...” Scootaloo said, lowering her voice as her face started to turn red.

“Oh... well come on, we shouldn't keep your care taker waiting. I'm sure she is worried about you,” you say. Scootaloo looks a little less embarrassed, she seems to have thought she would be made fun of. The walk to the orphanage was a short one, Scootaloo seemed down about going back. The orphanage looked like an old western house, it was three stories high and had a large porch, which the caretaker was sitting in a rocking chair when you arrived. You walked with Scootaloo up to the porch and you introduce yourself to the caretaker.

“Hello ma'am, I’m Sonic Wave,” you say as you extend your hand.

“Ah! Little Scootaloo has told me much about you,” she said as she shook your hand. “My name is Lilly. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“The pleasure is all mine, I’m sorry for keeping Scootaloo out so late.”

“Oh it is no problem, but I’m afraid that is her bed time as she has school in the morning,” Lilly said as she started to go into the house, Scootaloo behind her.

“See you later Scoots,” you say as the door closes, she smiles and waves before the door fully closes. You and Dash start to walk away and towards Dash's home. Sooner than later you both are in front of Dash's front door, locked in a passionate kiss, you break the kiss and look into her eyes.

“Oh, before I forget, we are needed to move the clouds at noon, heavy, heavy rain is to be expected,” Dash says before leaving your arms and opening her door. “Good night,” she said before closing her door, leaving you all alone in the darkness. The door opens again and Dash takes the leftover pizza. “Mine,” she said before closing the door again. With a smile you fly back to your apartment, where you shower and go to bed.

Your back in the dark hallway. Again you run out the window, but this time you don't hesitate in preforming a sonic boom. You can see the post apocalyptic carnage that was Ponyville, but you fly past it, you don't stop. After what seems like forever you feel as though something is following you. You look behind you and sure enough, something is following you. Two things actually. A Scootaloo missing half her face and a Rainbow Dash missing her wings. You were still breaking the sound bearer but they are still behind you and catching up. As a last defense you dive straight down and turn just in time to avoid splattering on the ground, though you see the grotesque bald thing ahead of you and you run right into it's hand, which wakes you up.

Panting, breathing heavily, and sweating, you sit up and check your alarm clock. 11:42. It's going to be a long night.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

“So what do you three normally do at one of your sleepovers?” you ask. The three girls are sitting on your couch and you are sitting on your coffee table.

“Well we usually watch movies,” Sweetie Belle said.

“And play games,” Applebloom added.

“And go crusading for our cutie marks!” Scootaloo added. “Though, I don't think that we can do that with it raining,” she finished with pout.

“Alright, what do you guys want to do first?” you ask. “I don't have any board games, so I hope you brought some with you.”

“I brought Apples to Apples,” Applebloom said as she dug around in her overnight bag.

“We played that game hundreds of times, don't you have anything else?” Scootaloo asked.

“Sorry.”

“I brought My Little Seamstress!” Sweetie Belle piped up. Both Applebloom and Scootaloo gave her a look that said: Are you kidding me? “Maybe not.”

“Then we don't have any games to play,” Scootaloo said with a frown.

“I got a game you can play, its fairly easy to play,” you say. The three little girls look at you.

“What kind of game?” Sweetie Belle asked with a tilt of her head.

“Let me get it,” you say dismissing yourself. You head into the kitchen and pull open a drawn that was filled with miscellaneous. After you rummage through it a few minutes you find what you were looking for, and walk back the girls and sit in front of the coffee table so it comes up to your chest. You take the cards you grabbed and begin to shuffle them.

“Are we playing Go-Fish?” Scootaloo asked in a bored tone.

“No,” you say as you gave Scootaloo a card, then Applebloom a card, then Sweetie Belle a card, then yourself a card, then giving each of them another card. “Alright, first things first. Don't tell anybody I’m teaching you guys how to play this.”

“We won't,” they all said.

“Alright, look at your cards, but hide them from each other,” you say as you peek at your cards. An eight of hearts and an ace of spades. “Alright normally you would place bets with bits, but lets just get you guys the hang of the game first,” you say. You discard one card and lay one down. An ace of hearts. “You would place another bet now,” you say, then you discard another card and place another card on the table. A king of diamonds. “Another bet,” you discard another card and lay down three cards. Two of clubs, three of hearts, and a ten of spades. “Now you would place a final bet, then show your cards,” you say and you reveal your cards, the girls doing the same. Scootaloo had the queen of hearts and the queen of diamonds, Applebloom had the king of spades and the two of clubs, and Sweetie Belle had the aces of clubs and hearts.

“Sweetie Belle would win because she had two aces and that would pair with the ace on the field,” you explain to them. “Wanna play again?”

“Sure,” they say. You gather the cards, shuffle and deal another hand, Sweetie Belle winning again. Soon both Applebloom and Scootaloo wanted nothing more than to beat Sweetie Belle, who was having tons of fun. The four of you soon lose track of time and play for a few hours easy, the only thing to tell you how much time has passed is three little tummies growling in hunger.

“I'll start dinner, you three think you can play without me?” you ask.

“Yeah, maybe I can finally win if you stop dealing,” Scootaloo says glaring at Sweetie Belle's clearly bigger pile of borrowed bits. You chuckle and head to the kitchen to pull out hamburger. You make a simple dinner of hamburgers and fries.

“It's getting pretty late, so why don't you guys get changed and I’ll get my laptop so you can watch some movies,” you say.

“First!” Applebloom yells as she grabs her bag and races to the bathroom.

“Hey!” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo say then scoff. You can't help but chuckle. You take the cushions off the couch and pull out the bed. Applebloom comes out dressed in her pajamas, and Scootaloo races to the bathroom. After she comes out Sweetie Belle enters and exits dressed for bed. You set up you laptop to your projector and project a movie on the wall as the girls get comfortable. You sit on the bed also next to Scootaloo, and your favorite movie as a kid begins. It's a fairly long movie and in the middle of it both Sweetie Belle and Applebloom fall asleep, and Scootaloo rest her head on your arm, watching the movie with half lidded eyes.

“Thanks for doing this, Sonic,” Scootaloo says catching you by surprise.

“Huh? Oh, yeah no problem Scoots, anytime,” you say. Scootaloo yawns and her eyes finally close and soft snoring fills the air. You can't help but smile. You can feel your eyes start to get heavy so you turn off the movie and lean you head back, letting sleep overcome you.

Chapter 14

Chapter 14
You slowly open your eyes and yawn, stretching your arms as you do. You feel a weight shift on your stomach and look down and see Scootaloo, looking back at you.
“Shouldn't you still be sleeping?” you ask quietly as the other two are still asleep. Scootaloo just shrugs her shoulders. “Well can you get off so I can get up?” you as politely.
Scootaloo nods her head and gets off you. You sit up and swing your legs off the bed and stand, the bed squeaking lightly as you stand. You make your way to your kitchen where you pull out two cups and milk. Scootaloo hops onto a chair at the table and you pour her a glass, and pour yourself a glass. You two clink glasses together and start to drink. You can't hear the storm from last night, only meaning that it had ended. Well it was only suppose to last until two in the morning. You set your now empty glass in the sink and put up the milk. You turn around and lean on the counter, spacing out. You are brought out of your daydream by a flutter of orange and a leaf appearing seemingly out of nowhere. If fact if one did not have wings, then one would probably it did come out of nowhere, but you had wings, so you knew where the leaf came from.
“Hey, Scootaloo? When was the last time you preened your feathers?” you ask. Scootaloo kinda tilts her head to the side and give you a questioning look. “You know, cleaning, straightening...”
“Oh, never. I don't know how,” she said looking a little down. You take her now empty glass and put it in the sink.
“Come,” you say as you walk past Scootaloo, who jumps up and follows you into your bathroom. You put down the toilet seat and sit down on it. “Sit on the bathtub with your back facing me.” Scootaloo does just that. “Now straighten your wing, please.” you start to gently go through her feathers, cleaning them and straightening them. You can tell she feels pretty embarrassed of this. Knowing how to preen your feathers is a big thing to take pride in.
“Have I ever told you how I learned to preen my feathers?” you ask, Scootaloo shakes her head. “Well it was the day Flash, Speedy, and I became friends, actually.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, you you like to hear it?” Scootaloo nods her head. “Well I was walking though the hallway at school, before the first bell, and I saw a group of people, huddled around two other people. Interested I pushed my way to the front and I saw Flash and Speedy fighting it out. They hated each other as kids, Speedy always made fun of Flash on the playground. Well I was pushed into them and knocked them both to the ground. Speedy got furious and threw a punch that caught me under the jaw, left a nice bruise. Well I don't take kindly to getting hit so, what could I do but fight back. The fight didn't last long as the principle broke up the fight. Needless to say, we each got three months of detention. During the first detention, I took the front, Speedy took the bottom right, and Flash took the bottom left. After about half an hour, Speedy spoke. “Why the hell don't you clean your feathers?” he asked, I knew he was talking to me. “Why do you care?” I shot back. “Because if your not going to take care of your wings, then maybe you shouldn't have any,” he said, trying to taunt me. “Yeah? Well it's not like I have anybody to teach me,” I said quietly. Needless to say, this struck something in Speedy. He picked up his bags and moved behind me. He grabbed my wings and I thought he was going to rip them off or something, but nope, he set about cleaning them. He gave me a whole speech about cleaning ones wings and how much pride one should take in their wings. This was a side, nobody saw of Speedy. A caring side. After he was done, he did something nobody would have predicted in a thousand years, he apologized. He said he was sorry to Flash and me. Well at the second detention we sat together, and talked. We were as different as could be, yet we became great friends. People tried to taunt us, saying homosexual things, but as long as we had each other, nobody could beat us in a fight. People started to call us the Three speeds, Sonic, Speedy, and Flash.” Scootaloo listened intently at the end she had a question.
“How old were you when you learned to preen your feathers?”
“Eight grade, and I still prefer to have somebody preen them for me,” you say finishing up. “There, hows that feel?” you ask. Scootaloo flapped her wings a little.
“They feel much light, thanks Sonic!” she exclaimed, she gave you a quick kiss on the cheek and ran into the living room. With a chuckle and a small smile you close the door to the bathroom and look at your reflection.
“You can not start a family under your condition, so you better snap out of it,” you reflection warned.
“Yeah I know,” you say with a sad expression and tone, and you leave the bathroom.

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

When you leave the bathroom you can see Applebloom and Sweetie Belle start to get up. You head into the kitchen and start to pull pots and pans.

“What do you guys want for breakfast?” you ask with your head in a cabinet.

“Oh oh! French toast!” Applebloom exclaims as she heads into the bathroom.

“Yeah!” both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle agree.

You grab a loaf of bread, butter, eggs, and other ingredients needed. Sweetie Belle walks up behind you.

“Hey Sweetie, need something?” you ask.

“Can I help?” she asks with a sweet smile. A motion catches you eye and you look over at Scootaloo who was shaking her head and mouthing “No”.

“Sure,” you say, Scootaloo facepalms and you can't help but laugh. “One minute,” you crack four eggs into a bowl and give the bowl and a fork to Sweetie. “Alright, just stir the eggs and I will be back,” you tell her. You head into your room and quickly change into a gray shirt and blue jeans. You come out of your room to see the eggs Sweetie was stirring on the floor.

“Oops,” she said with an apologetic smile. Applebloom, now changed into day cloths, was helping clean up.

“That's alright,” you quickly creak more eggs and this time you quickly stir them to the right consistency. You grab the loaf of bread and place it on the table. “Can you dip the bread in the eggs and put it on this plate?”

“Sure!” Sweetie said and got right to it. You started to heat up the skillet needed.
~A few minutes later~

You start on your last burnt piece of french toast. Only a few on them were burnt, you had to take a phone call and let Sweetie cook, and you took them. You here a knock on your door and you excuse yourself. You open the door to Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.

“Howdy, the kids ready?” Applejack asks.

“Yeah, come on in,” you say as you step aside. The girls enter and the three little girls turn around in their chairs to see the newcomers.

“Are you three ready?” Rarity asks as she looks around your apartment, slightly grimacing but holding her tongue.

“Yup,” Sweetie Belle said as the three of them hopped off their chairs. You collect the dirty plates and silverware.

“Ah hope they didn't give you too much trouble,” Applejack said as she grabbed Applebloom's overnight bag.

“Nah, they were alright,” you say.

“Well thanks again,” Applejack said as Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and herself, left.

“I suppose we should get you back, huh?” Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo, ruffling her hair. You put on socks and shoes, grab your keys, phone, and wallet, the three of you head out.

As you walk down Ponyville's market street Scootaloo comes up with a question.

“Who is faster? You or Sonic?” she asks Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow,” you say.

“How?”

“Well, while I can break the sound barrier, she can break the spectrum barrier. It's a lot harder because you have to go very fast. Also I don't have a lot of stamina, my record for holding a sonic boom is about ten seconds,” you say with a yawn at the end.

“Oh,” Scootaloo said. It took about twenty minutes but eventually you arrived to the orphanage, gave Scootaloo back, and left. You are currently walking down the street heading to the library.

“So, what's the weather forecast?” you ask.

“The clouds stay till noon,” Rainbow said.

You intertwine your fingers with Rainbow's and this made her smile. It was a good moment, till you walked around a corner and ran into two people.

“Ow, shit,” you say as you hold your head, you look over at Rainbow who was still standing and looked only dazed. You look over at the two people you collided with, both on the ground.

“What are you guys doing here?” you ask with confusion as you look down on Flash and Speedy.

“Didn't you get Speedy's text?” Flash asked as he picked himself off the ground, holding his head.

“Wait, I was suppose to send that?” Speedy asked as he dusted himself off.

“Yes, yes you were,” Flash said glaring at speedy.

“So what are you doing here?” you ask again.

“Not that you would know or anything,” Flash said with a lot of sarcasm, “but it is only your twentieth birthday.”

“Oh yeah,” was the only thing you could say.

“Wait, you forgot your own birthday?” Rainbow asked looking at you with disbelief.

“Hehe, yeah. A few too many blows to the head, you start to forget somethings,” you say with a shrug.

Rainbow was about to say something but got cut off from Pinkie appearing from nowhere.

“Hey! I heard it was somebody's birthday!” she said.

“Yeah, mine,” you say.

“I will get started on invites! You four meet me at Sugarcube Corner at 5pm. Don't be late!” she said as she bounced away.

“What just happened?” Flash asks.

“Pinkie is hosting Sonic's birthday party at Sugarcube Corner,” Rainbow said.

“Oh.”

“We have to get going, gotta go return a book,” Dash said as she started to drag you away.

“Oh we'll come,” Speedy said.

“Thanks for inviting yourselves,” you say, heavy with sarcasm.

“No problem.”

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapters of late, and all of the mistakes in them, but finals have been keeping me very busy. Finals end in about a week and a half, so the next chapter will be out then, probably.

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

You pull a cloud into the correct spot, filling a hole and you move onto another spot, stretching the clouds over it. The only thing you can hear is the music being blasted from your headphones as you work trying to cover the sky for the big storm scheduled. You look around and see a big sea of blackish clouds and a rainbow haired girl flying towards you. She lands and starts to talk.

“Sorry what?” you ask as you take off your headphones and rest them on your neck.

“I said that we are done, you can head home now,” Dash says wiping the sweat from her brow. “I gotta go home and feed Tank so I’ll see you later.”

“Yeah, see you later,” you say as she steps forward and gives you a quick kiss. With a smile and a wave she takes off, you wave back and start to head in the opposite direction. Walking on the clouds during a storm is always fun, with every step you take your foot is pushed back with more force than if there wasn't a storm. You walk up to a rack you made out of clouds earlier that had your bag and umbrella on it and put your stuff up so they won't wet. With everything fastened properly you crouch down and open a hole in the clouds, big enough to let you fall through. You flip the hood on your sweatshirt and drop down, a quick look up reveals the clouds have moved back on their own. You pivot your body so you are pointed at a steep angle and gain speed very fast. You can't see the ground, but on instinct you pull out of your dive just in time to avoid painting the streets a new red color. With high speeds you race through the streets, devoid of almost all people. Within seconds you are in front of your destination: the library. You walk up to the door and knock, a little kid with green spiky hair and a purple sweatshirt on answers it.

“Hey, Spike. I got a book to return,” you say giving him a fist bump.

“Come on in, I’ll go get Twilight,” Spike said as he disappeared up the stairs. You don't venture far into the library, being soaking wet, only at the door mat. Twilight comes down the stairs and greets you by almost giving you a hug, but thinking better of it.

“It's been a while since you've been here, how was your trip to Manehatten?” she asks.

“I got drunk and faced my father, hopefully he will leave me alone now,” you say as you did around in your bag for the book, once you have it you hand it to Twilight how gives her thanks. “I gotta get going, see you around.”

“See you later,” Twilight says as you head out the door. Outside you decide the take out the umbrella and walk home. You stop by Applejack's stand, you are unsurprised by it being open given how the owner is, and buy a couple apples, eating them as you walk. Before long you are back inside your apartment, you toss your wet cloths in your hamper and get your pajama bottoms and a black shirt and head into the shower. As you step out you can hear the loud raindrops and thunder through your walls. Man, I would hate to be out in this storm. You think to yourself as you walk out of your bathroom while you dried your hair. You sit on your couch just as somebody knocks on your door. Well shit.

You get back up and open the door to find three little girls looking up at you. With a sigh you let them in. “Come on in, girls.”

“Thanks, Sonic,” Sweetie Belle said. They all were quite wet and water was starting to drip on your carpet so you grab three towels and give them to the girls.

“So what are you three doing here?” you ask trying to get some answers. It was Applebloom who spoke up.

“We were on our way to Fluttershy's because we were going to have a sleep over at her house, but we kinda got side tracked and found ourselves in this storm,” she said, putting on an apologetic smile.

“We're sorry, Sonic,” Scootaloo said, hanging her head.

“Right well I have to make a few phone calls, you can sit down and do whatever, one moment,” you say excusing yourself to your bedroom, closing the door behind you. You grab your phone and dial Fluttershy's number.

“H-hello?” She answers on the third ring.

“Hey Fluttershy, it's Sonic.”

“Oh, hello Sonic, how are you doing?”

“Oh I’m doing fine, how about you?”

“I'm alright, Angle caught a cold though due to the storm, not that I’m blaming you or Rainbow,” she adds quickly.

“It's alright, tell Angle that I'm sorry. The reason I called, other than idle chit chat, is about five minute ago Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle showed up at my door.”

“Oh my! I’m so terribly sorry, I was suppose to watch over them but I guess I didn't do a good job...” she trailed off.

“Oh no, Fluttershy, I was just sure that you were wondering where they were at.”

“Oh yes, when they didn't show up at the time they were suppose to I started to get worried.”

“Well this storm is pretty bad, I'm not sure if they should be out in it alone, so I was thinking about taking them to your house.”

“Oh I’m sorry to tell you this but there is major flooding around my house, there isn't any way you could get them to my house.”

“Hmm, I’m not really sure what to do, I guess I could let them stay over here,” you say half to yourself.

“Oh, I’m sure they would just love that, though you should probably check with Applejack, Rarity and the orphanage first.”

“Yeah, well I guess I should let you go, I’m sure that Angel needs you, again I’m sorry about him getting a cold.”

“Oh it's not anything to worry about, good bye.”

“Bye,” you say as you hang up. Thinking for a minute you stand up and go back to the living room and stand in front of the three little girls, who look up at you like they just caught doing something bad. “I just got off the phone with Fluttershy, I was going to walk you back to her house, but flooding around her house and a sick bunny has flattened that idea, seeing as I can't fly in a storm of this magnitude. So I was thinking of having your little slumber party or whatever here.” The three of them perk right up and are suddenly bouncing around your legs shouting with shouts of approval. “Hey girls, calm down, I still need to call your respected guardians to see if they will let you stay.” They stopped at this and sat back down on the couch. You head back to your room and decide to call Applejack first.

“Hello?” Applejack answers on the second ring.

“Hey Applejack, it's Sonic.”

“Oh hello sugarcube, what can Ah do for you?”

“Um well due to Cutie Mark Crusaders' need for adventure, they got side tracked and couldn't get to Fluttershy's house in time, and there is flooding in her area, so they showed up at my apartment. I called Fluttershy and we came up with the idea to just have their slumber party over here.”

“Well Ah don't have a problem with it, but can y'all handle three little girls like them?”

“I'm sure I’ll be fine, well I should probably call Rarity so I’m going to have to let you go.”

“Alright well I’ll see you later then.” With that you hang up and dial Rarity's number, who picks up on the sixth ring, sounding like she just woke up.

“Hello?”

“Hey Rarity, it's Sonic. Look I’m just going to give you the short version, the CMC got side tracked and didn't make it in time to get the her house before the area around her flooded, I called Applejack and told her the idea to just let them have their slumber party over here, what do you think?”

“Oh, I think that is a wonderful idea, all three of them talk about you almost non-stop, you may replace Rainbow as Scootaloo's idol,” she said chuckling.

“Yeah, well I have to call the orphanage, and I will let you get back to your beauty sleep I know I awoke you from.”

“Oh, I guess you didn't hear, the kids from the orphanage had to be moved to town hall due to unexpected flooding, but I will go back to my beauty sleep, thank you.” she said before she hung up. You once before getting off your bed and heading back into the living room, standing in front of the three girls.

“You three can stay,” you say, the three girls immediately go back to bouncing around your legs. This is going to be one long night.

As the title may suggest we are going to be doing a rewrite of this story. Hopefully it will start soon but we have no idea when it will. We only ask that you be a little more patient for a little while longer.
