//-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting Her -by spaztastick- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Finding a New Home //-------------------------------------------------------// Finding a New Home "Merzero! Grab your things! We're leaving!", I heard my mom yelling from the ground floor of my empty house. "Yeah mom! Just taking a look around!", I responded halfheartedly. I just didn't want to leave, you know? But we had to, my mother got a great job in some town called... What was it? Oh, yeah, some town called Ponyville. She was sent there to do some structural work on the buildings, since she was the best architect the city, and maybe the world, had ever seen. I didn't take too long, so when I felt ready, I joined my mother and little sister in the entrance of my home. "Ready everyone?", inquired my mother. My sister looked at me. "Yes!", we both responded excitedly. "Ok then! Let's go!", she announced. We all piled into the car, stuffing our leftover luggage in the trunk. My mom had already made trips to the place with furniture and luggage so we didn't have much left to take. She turned on the car and strapped herself in, and my sister and I did the same. My mother looked in her rear-view mirrors, making sure they were in place. She finally backed out of the driveway and we headed off to the airport. We drove past famous places in the city, like the many museums and art galleries, and these places brought back many memories. When we finally got to the airport, we parked the car in a special loading zone, because we were taking it with us to Ponyville. Grabbing our luggage as we got out, we made our way to the entrance of the enormous airport to get our boarding passes. I went to a different documentation line to save time. It finally was my turn. "Hello sir, how can I help you?", asked the lady at the counter. I placed my luggage on the scale. "Just came to check in!", I replied with a smile. "As everyone, right?" We shared a quick laugh. "You don't mind if I scan them, do you?", she questioned, as protocol. "Not at all, go ahead!", I told her. She nodded and proceeded to place them on a scanner. Her expression changed from a happy-go-lucky tone to a frown. I immediately knew which suitcase she was looking at. "Oh, don't worry," I pulled out my wallet and took out a card, handing it to her. "I have a license, Class-3, International." She looked at the license, and typed some stuff into a computer. "Ok, well everything seems to be in order with this one, let me look at the other," She stammered, handing back my license. She scanned my other suitcase, which only had clothes, and put tags on both of them, handing me a ticket. "Alright, well those are documented, are there more?", she asked, raising an eyebrow. I simply shook my head. "Well, then have a safe trip!", she said, and with that, I left to find my mother. I found her in the waiting area with my sister, so I went to sit with them. "Get through okay?", my sister asked me. "Perfectly. You?", I questioned. "Just fine!", she responded. I looked over to the monitor to check my flight. On time. Great, I won't have to wait too long. We sat there for about ten minutes before they called our flight. With boarding passes in hand, we got on the plane and found our seats. Everyone else got on, and after a few minutes, the captain came on the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are starting our pre-flight routine, so we should be leaving for Canterlot in a few minutes.", he announced. Good, we would go from Canterlot to Ponyville in our car. We waited for a bit, and then the flight attendants did the instructional demonstration of how to use the life vest and the oxygen mask in the case of an emergency. After they were done, the captain came on again. "Ok, we are now leaving for Canterlot, enjoy your flight!" Everyone started to cheer, which made me chuckle a bit. The plane backed out of the loading area, and turned to face the runway. It drove over to it and got into position. The captain, once again, came on. "Ok folks here we go!", and with that, the plane shot itself down the runway. Honestly, that's my favorite part, just feeling the acceleration of the plane. I could have sworn I heard the captain yell, "We need to hit 88 miles per hour!" The plane lifted off and we were in the air, so I took out my headphones and plugged them into to the armrest to hear some music, putting them on shortly after. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, we had touched down in Canterlot. My mother woke me up. We got off the plane and went to baggage claim. We waited for a while, finally found our bags, and exited the airport and went to the loading area to get our car. I threw my bags in the back, as did my sister. My mom started the car and we went to the nearest fast food shop, because the plane wasn't serving food. It was early, about 10:00 AM, so we ate something small. After finishing, my mom found the road to Ponyville, surprisingly, it followed the train. We were on the road for maybe two hours until arriving at Ponyville. "Look, Merzero," my mom called, "Isn't it nice? It's got the feel of a city, but it's just a rural town!" "Semi-rural, but yeah, it is nice. I hope I can make some new friends!", I responded. "You know what? Leave your stuff in the new house and you can go out and explore! Sound good?", she proposed. "Awesome! Thanks Mom!", I hugged her, happy that I could actually make friends. We arrived at our new home shortly after. It was larger than our old one, and it was nice on the inside too. My mom had made sure to have top-of-the-line appliances and the nicest furniture she could find. I left my things in my new room, and went to the bathroom to fix myself up. I combed my black hair, groomed my wings, put on a leather jacket, and set off into the town. //-------------------------------------------------------// Helping The Innocent //-------------------------------------------------------// Helping The Innocent I walked out into town to explore it. I walked around for a bit and found a nice café, The Sugarcube Corner. I sat down at one of the tables outside, looked at the menu, and soon enough a waitress came over to take my order. "Hi there! I'm Pinkie Pie! See anything you like?!", she asked happily. She seemed my age, probably went to the high school here and worked at the café after hours. She had bright pink hair, nice and curled, kinda spongy. Is that... Cotton candy I smell? Wow, she must use some weird shampoo if her hair smells like cotton candy... "Yeah, you guys do red velvet cupcakes, right?", I inquired. Why red velvet? I just love it, don't know why. "Sure do! How many do you want?", she asked back. I wondered how many I should have, maybe I should just ask how big they are... "Just one for now, I'll see about more later," I instructed. Yeah, that was the right choice. "Alrighty then! One red velvet, coming up!" and with that, she took my menu and skipped off to get my cupcake. She came back minutes later with the cupcake on a plate. "Here you are! If you need anything, don't be afraid to give a yell, okay?" I nodded at her and she walked away, smile on her face. I took the cupcake and peeled the wrapper off. I used my finger to taste a dab of the frosting, delicious. I finally took a bite out of it, and I'll tell you, that was the best cupcake I have ever had, no lie. I slowly ate the cupcake, trying to savor it as much as I could. After a while, I noticed something strange, a couple, over at a table near me, they were fighting harshly. I decided to just observe, and not step in unless something serious happened. I started to eavesdrop. "Please Soarin! I'm telling you the truth! He's just a friend!", the girl pleaded. Funny, her hair, all the colors of the rainbow, never seen anything like it. "No! If he was just a friend, he wouldn't be holding your hand and giving you kisses like he did!", Soarin yelled back. "We go way back Soarin! Those were just kind gestures! He knew that we are together! You need to believe me! I love you Soarin! Why would I cheat on you?!", she retaliated, I could see the tears in her eyes. "Don't lie to me!", he was furious. He stood up and turned around, as if he was going to leave. The girl got up and went after him, grabbing his arm. "SOARIN PLEASE!" She was crying heavy now. Soarin turned around, looked at her, and straight up bitch-slapped her in the face. That's when I got up and intervened. I ran up to them, and stood between them with my arms out. "Look, I don't know what happened, or who either of you are, but what you just did was wrong! You should never hit people, especially not a lady!" I yelled at him, not knowing what else to say. He just looked at me, balling his hands into fists. "I'll hit you then!" He threw a fist at me, and I caught it. I tightened my grip, moving his arm closer to me, lifted my free arm, and drove my elbow into the inside of his arm. He yelled in pain, falling to his knees. That's when I took the opportunity and drove my knee into his face, knocking him out. The girl gasped, and I looked back at her. "Where do you live? We should probably get out of here...", I asked her. "Yeah... J-Just f-follow me...", she stammered. I nodded and we left, I made sure to leave some Bits on my table for the cupcake. We eventually got to her house up in a city called Cloudsdale, but her home was in the outskirts, close to Ponyville, she invited me in, and I obliged. I sat on her couch as she went for some refreshments. It was a very nice home, made for probably a family, but she seemed to be the only one living here. She came back with glasses of water, set them on the table in front of us, and sit next to me. "T-Thank you... For what you did out there...", she said quietly. "Hey, no problem! I'm always happy to help!", I replied. "Are you alright? You're not hurt are you?", I asked with a worried tone. "No... I'm fine, it just stings, that's all...", she said quietly. "That's good. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what happened out there?", I inquired. She stirred a bit, which made me regret my question. "Sorry, you don't have to tell me..." "No, it's okay.", she took a deep breath. "One of my long time friends was here in Cloudsdale to visit me, so I invited him for some lunch at the Sugarcube Corner. We were having lunch when Soarin came with some friends and saw me there, he immediately thought I was cheating on him. When my friend and I finished our lunches, we both went out, and as we parted, we gave each other the standard side-ways kiss as a friendly gesture, since we go way back to fillyhood, but what I didn't know, was that Soarin was sitting at a table, waiting for me. I went with him, then I noticed he was very angry. He started to yell at me and..." She stopped, tears in her eyes. She broke down crying right then. I pulled her into a hug, you know, to comfort her... Yeah, to comfort her. After a bit of crying, she calmed down and sat back up, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Sorry about that...", she whispered quietly. "Don't be. It's not your fault, he's just an asshole," I replied with a comforting tone. She smiled, good, I couldn't stand seeing that face sad. Wait, what?! Am I... No, I'm not, it's just a normal reaction. She yawned. "Wow... I'm really tired, I think I should get some sleep...", she said in a drowsy tone. I nodded and got up to leave. "No, wait!", I stopped. "Could you stay here with me? You know, just in case Soarin comes back? He has a key to my house, so he could come in and do something..." My heart skipped a beat. WHAT?! I really need to stop thinking like that... I came back to the couch. "Sure! No problem!", I reassured her. She just needs protection... Yeah, that's it. She smiled and fell asleep. I sat there for hours, nothing to do, but nobody to interrupt my thoughts. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prince Must Be Rewarded... //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prince Must Be Rewarded... So, I just sat there with her, allowing my thoughts to go rampant, as there was nobody to hide them from. Dude, you just helped some stranger, a girl, mind you, beat up her boyfriend, and hugged her not even two minutes ago! Brain, please stop. I was just being a Good Samaritan. And for the love of Pete, stop diverting the blood flow to the land-down-under, this is really not the right time. Why? We both know you like her. And anyway, the blood is left over, there is nowhere else that doesn't have a surplus. Bullshit. Stop it. Now. I don't like her. Not her pretty face, nor her perfect body, nor her awesome and beautifully brushed hair are of any interest to me. Are you even listening to yourself? You are in love with her, dude! Admit it and just get over it. I told you already, I don't like- Wait, you're right... I am in love with her... Good! Now, when are you going to tell her? You know, if you keep it to yourself- No, I'm not going to tell her. I know for a fact she doesn't feel the same way for me. You're just scared... And you are annoying. Just drop it okay? It's my choice so just stay out of it. Can't run away forever... Whatever. Just then, there was a knock at the door, so I went to see who was outside. As I looked through the small glass scope to see who was knocking, I almost screamed. It was Soarin. I started to panic, bad. I frantically started to pace around in the entrance hallway, and then something caught my eye. A shotgun. Body was black with golden designs on it, the stock had a wood finish, and the butt was cushioned. I picked it up, put it against my shoulder, opened the door, and pointed it in Soarin's face. "Whoa! Put the gun down dude!", he yelled, startled. He jumped at the sight of the gun. "Get lost, Soarin!", I told him in affirmative tone. "Look man, I just need to talk to her-", I interrupted him by pumping the shotgun. "I'll only tell you one more time, Soarin. Get. Lost. Now.", I ordered him. He jumped again, lifting his arms and starting to fly away. "Alright! I'm leaving! See?!", he yelled back at me, already taking off. Once he had left, I came back into the house, closing the door behind me. I continued over to the living room to find her still asleep. I never got her name, oh well. I left the shotgun leaning against the couch and went to go explore the house. I stumbled upon a room that caught my attention. Not because of how it looked, but because of what it had in it, a grand piano. I went inside to check it out. As I got closer, I noticed the amount of dust that had piled on it. I went to sit on the long stool, and blew off the dust on the keys. Getting into position, I played some of the notes to check the tuning, and as expected, just as new. Remembering a tune, my first instinct was to play it. What song you ask? "Contigo Aprendi" (I learned With You) by Armando Manezanero. When I finished the song, smiling, I closed the lid on the keys, stood up, and turned around, only to see her leaning on the doorway. "That was beautiful, I have never awoken to a more beautiful sound.", she said, walking over to me. "Hey, I never got your name, what is it?", she questioned. "Merzero Rochétt, but everyone just calls me Zero, and what is yours?", I asked in return. "Rainbow Dash.", she responded. "I like it! Nice name!", I complimented her. She was about a foot away from me now. "We both know my name isn't the only thing you like...", Dash looked at me with a sly and devilish smile. "Yeah, that piano is awesome!", I responded, trying to look naïve. It didn't work. "Zero, you like me, don't you?", she inquired. I knew the façade was over. "Yes, but I know you don't feel the same for me...", I looked at her with a face of disappointment. She came up to me, right up in my face. "Now that is where you're wrong, Zero...", at the sound of that, I couldn't help it. I leaned in, and our lips touched. I felt Dash jump, but then relax as she pulled me in and went to work. She was exploring every nook and cranny of my mouth with her tongue, and to avoid looking like an idiot, I started to do the same. We moved around, knocking into furniture, crashing into and leaning on walls, eventually finding our way to the couch, or at least I think it was the couch, because I didn't dare open my eyes. After what seemed like hours of tasting the most delicious thing in existence, we stopped, opened our eyes, and looked at each other. "You were amazing, Zero! I've never felt this way, not even with Soarin! You just taste so good! Mmmmm....", she wanted more, I could tell, and I won't lie, I did too. "Truth be told, that was my first time...", I blushed. Was I really that good? She gasped, putting a hand over her mouth. "That's impossible! You were so good! You must've had some experience!", she yelled in denial. "Well, I do now...", I cracked a devilish smile and went in again. We explored each other much more vigorously this time. Our tongues would fight for dominance one minute, and gracefully dance the next. I pushed in so far once that I got to her throat. I moved my tongue inside her mouth, tasting everything in reach once more. Her saliva, it tasted like, I can't describe it. It tasted like rainbows and happiness, if that's even possible. But not just any happiness, imagine a little girl's face after seeing her first rainbow. Now take that feeling the little girl is having and give it a color. It doesn't matter which one, as long as it's a warm color, its fine. Now taste the color, I know what you're thinking, but just do it. Whatever you got, that's what it would taste like to you. When we split, there was a trail of saliva linking our lips together. Dash used her tongue to break it, catching the saliva on it. I moved so we were laying on the couch sideways, basically spooning, instead of me being on top of her. I rested my head on hers, fixing my neck on her shoulder. "That one was even better...", she whispered. "C-Could you do me a favor?", she asked me. I stroked her arm. "Anything for you, Dash...", I cooed. I kissed her neck and I was rewarded with a sexy moan. "C-Can you take off your shirt?", she asked shyly, and proceeded to take hers off. "I'll do you one better...", I went to take off not only my shirt, but my shoes and pants (and nothing more you perverts!). She did the same, but took it one step up. "Could you un-do my bra? I like nude embraces...", I obliged. After I was done, we just laid there, I was holding her, and she was holding my arms. Sleep got to us eventually, that sly fox. ----------Hours Later-----------About 7:20 PM-------------- I was woken up to my phone ringing, so I got up carefully so to not wake Dash up, and went to check who was the ugly son of a bitch who was calling. I looked at the caller I.D. It was my mom. I take back everything I said... Hehe... I reluctantly picked it up. "Hey Ma!" "Hey hunny! Just calling to tell you that your room is ready so you can come back now." "That's awesome! But I can't..." "Why not? What's wrong?" "I have a friend who really needs me right now, she asked me to stay the night. Is that ok?" "Can you tell me what happened at least?" "She had a fight with her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend now, as a good person I intervened when he hit her, and since he has a key to her house, she needs someone to help her feel safe." "Alright, sounds good! See you in the morning! Oh, and one more thing..." "Yeah mum?" "Don't get her pregnant just yet, I want to meet her first..." "What?! How did you know?!" "I'm your mother, I know no girl would ever turn you down. Go for it, just don't take it too far..." "Ok mom, I won't. Got to go, love you, bye!" "Me too Merzero! Bye!" I hung up, set my phone down, and walked back to the couch, sitting down next to Dash. She woke up. "Who were you talking to?", she inquired. "My mother, she called to tell me my room was ready and I can come back now.", I responded. She put on a sad expression. "But, I told her I couldn't because a friend needed me to help her." "Is that all you told her?", she questioned. I returned to my position behind her, and leaned in close to her ear. "She found out the rest on her own..." FIN?
