Chapter 5 - A New Home

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Nearing on sunrise, you are finally finished with your shift after a long night of partying, you close up the bar and put your uniform on the side and notice a letter next to a saddlebag, and it read; “Speedster, as a token of my appreciation, could you please accept this gift, a saddlebag! I haven’t seen you with one on yet and I am sure that carrying everything around on your back can be annoying so I bought you a new one! Hope you like it!” It isn’t signed or anything, so you just assume it was the manager, you throw on the saddle bag and buckle it up, put your 600 bits in the left compartment and your uniform in the right compartment. As you are about to leave, you see the manager and spit out a short “Thanks!”

“Oh but whatever for?”

“The bag and the letter, entitled to Speedster?”

“Oh Speedster is your name? I’ve been calling you Edsta the entire time! It’s good to finally know your name. Off you pop anyway, time to close.” He slightly chuckles as he finishes up his sentence, heading towards the back room.

“Oh uhm, okay then…” You look bewildered, if it wasn’t the manager, then who was it? You don’t let it drift too long in your psychic for too long, best to leave it down to a generous pony being nice to you.

You trot out of the door and spread your wings, looks pretty cloudy in the sky today, might end up having some bad weather, you take off towards Rainbow’s house but realise you have been wanting to ask Princess Ce- You’re cut off by a voice inside your head.

“Yes, I will have it done right away Speedster, it’s my pleasure.”

“Wait, how do you even know- man- I mean, stallion, I have to get used to that!”

“Dearie, you can be more like your human self around me, after all I am the one who brought you here, aren’t I?”

“Well, I guess so…”

“Also, why is it that you don’t like me calling you by your actual name?”

“You already know, you just want me to say it, or should I say think it?”

“My point still stands, why?”

“Because, I would rather be a pony, as much as possible, even if that means forgetting all of my human life.

“It’s fine dearie, it really is, I won’t call you by your first name if it means that much to you.”

“Thanks Princess, it means a lot. Anyway, are you able to do me that favour?”

“Yes I can, your new house will be built, how would you like it?”

“Well, I want to pay for it as much as I can, if that’s okay with you?”

“If it would make you happy, then yes you may. Are there any specific requirements?

“Only to have a good home is what I ask, one to raise a family in maybe?”

“Well now, seems like someone is settling in, aren’t you?”

“Well, I am just wanting-“ She cuts you off.

“It’s fine, it is now done, I can teleport you to it if you like? Oh! I almost forgot that you would need this, here.” A golden key suddenly appears in your mouth with the name Speedster written on the stem of it.

“Thanks Celestia, this means a lot to me, how much will it be a week?”

“Let’s say, 50 bits a week?”

“Deal!” You quickly snap at the response, that’s very cheap, just hope that the house is good enough for you is all that matters, you and your future family, if it comes to it, you silently hope it does.

As you start to feel a tingling sensation, ranging from your ears down to your hooves, you see nothing but a white ball surrounding you, and then suddenly you are outside a very generously sized abode.  You slide the key into the hole and turn; your door opens into your brand new home, for your family. To the right is a staircase leading to an open second floor with banisters, to your left is a living room with a table and two couches. Ahead of you is an open door which leads into a kitchen dining room, already the shelves are stocked with flowers and exotic fruits. The cupboards filled with bread, sugar, hay and grounded hay. Still leading from the kitchen, to the right hoof side there is a door leading into a garden, complete with a swing set for fillies, a trampoline and also a see-saw, even a slide! You heart melts as you realise this is the perfect home. You come back inside and go up the stairs, as you do you notice that there is four rooms, the first one on your right is a single bedroom, it already has a bed in it, with a dresser and some shelves, even some books too. In the second room to the right is a double bedroom, a double bed, two sets of dressers, a bookcase and also a desk, even complete with a trot in wardrobe! “This is the room for me and Dashie, plenty of space and storage for us too.” You mutter, even though no-one can hear you. The first door to the left is the bathroom; it has all the basic necessities, a trot in shower, bath tub, sink, toilet and a towel rack. The finale room makes your heart explode just by looking at it for a few seconds, you are stunned as to what you see, a beautifully designed cot for a filly, one of those spinning toys above it too, even a little night lamp by the side, you feel like you shed a tear of joy, you yearn for a filly now, you can’t wait! It has a tiny dresser inside, even a little doll house to play with, “This is so cute!” You can’t wait to show Rainbow, she is going to be so happy when she sees it.

You hurry out of the house, lock the door and plop the key in your saddle bag, your wings erupt out of your sides, sending a small shockwave, you hastily set off to Rainbow’s place, and you can’t wait to show her it!

As you grow closer to Rainbow’s house, you notice that the clouds have gotten even darker, positive of a storm, oh well; a little rain didn’t hurt anypony. You knock on Rainbow’s door with your hoof; luckily she is actually in this time and comes to the door.

“Hey, you!”  You suddenly feel her warm, wet lips kiss you, a very passionate kiss, her tongue forces its way into your mouth, happily you kiss her back and for a few moment, you just stand there, kissing her before you realise that there is a very happy to see you Spitfire in the room .

A giant grin forms on her face, “Hey Speedster! Rainbow’s been telling me all about you!”

“Oh that’s nice, just a minute please.” You huddle off to a corner with Rainbow to tell her about your new house. “Rainbow I have news!”

“I do too, you first though.”

“No, mares first, what’s your news?”

“Well, me and Spitfire have been talking and we think that you should come onto the Wonderbolts team and train with us, it would be so cool if you did, me and you, side by side training with the Wonderbolts?! It’s my dream come true but even better! So, what’s your news then?”

“Well, I talked to Celestia and I got her to make me a house! It’s a giant family home with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom; it even has a playground for our fillies!”

Her facial expression changes drastically, “What do you mean our fillies?”

You suddenly realise what you said, she didn’t know that you always wanted a kid of your own in your other life, and now you want one here, you just stare for a few moments with a blank expression on your face until you finally spit something out, “I mean uh… Erm… Did I say that we were going to have a filly? What I meant to say was uhm…” She silences you with a hoof over your mouth.

Her face slightly lightens up so show slight happiness, “Maybe later okay? I don’t think I am ready for a filly just yet, but it’s a nice though, me and you, our own filly? We could teach it to be the best flyer in all of Equestria! That is of course, next to you…” Suddenly her face dullness again.

“Next to us you mean Dashie, together WE are the best flyers in all of Equestria, not just me, not just you, it’s us both. Without you I wouldn’t have been able to even know I could go that fast, I owe it all to you, the best mare in all of Equestria.”

She suddenly bursts out with a giant blush, and a few tears in her eyes, hopefully tears of joy. “So, you bought us a new house? What about my place, I don’t want to just leave it behind…”

“We can move whenever you feel ready, it’s as much yours as it is mine, I hope you know that.” Rainbow leaps in for a hug, while all this time Spitfire has been sat down watching you both. “Oh, sorry Spitfire, just had some news is all, how are you?”

“I’m great thanks for asking, so… are you going to be on the Wonderbolts as a trainee with Rainbow? It would be great to have you both on the team, you could show us your Sonic Rainboom, that move is totally far out, never seen one before, what’s it like?”

“Dash, you want to explain this one?”

“Sure, I’d love to!” she is suddenly filled with joy as we step closer to Spitfire and sit down at the table with her. “Well, you are traveling at a sound breaking speed, then you start to go even faster and you even break the light barrier, which forces all of those colours out and the giant boom is you leaving the sound barrier and reappearing as you break the light barrier, it’s the most bestest awesomeness coolest thing EVER experienced in my entire life!” She is now stud on the table, the entire time she was doing hand gestures of her zooming through the hair with her hoof being her, pretty funny sight.

“Wow, is it that thrilling? I wish I could do it, it sounds fantastic!” She slowly turns her head towards you and starts to smile, “What’s it like if you do a double Sonic Rainboom?”

“It’s just like Dash said, the best thing ever, except I know something that’s better than a Sonic Rainboom.” They both stare at you in utter confusion over the table; you slowly smile as you look up at Dashie, who is now starting to blush as she understand what you mean. “Something better than a Sonic Rainboom is being with Rainbow over here, and seeing her happy, that’s all that matters to me and it clearly beats it.”

Rainbow’s face in now as red as a tomato, you could roast a marshmallow on her face it’s that hot. “Oh, shut up you… I’m not that cool, am I?” You can tell that she is messing around, wanting you to carry on, you follow up on her request and do just that.

“You are the single most bestest thing that ever happened to me, and seeing you happy is something I just love to see and I don’t want you to ever be unhappy, ever.” You lean in and kiss her on the cheek, she blushes even more.

“Well then.” Interrupts Spitfire, “I best be off then, leave you two lovebirds alone, see you are training later then?”

At the same time as each other, “You betcha!” You stare in astonishment, “Did we just… Are we?” Still talking in sync, you’re amazed.

“Wow that was weird.”

“You bet your flank it was weird Rainbow, don’t think I have ever done that before in my life, it was cool though!”

Spitfire looks out of a window and sees that the rain is about to start, “Well, it looks like it’s going to start raining, I best be off, see you guys later, if it doesn’t rain too long that is, have fun!”

“Ok, thanks for dropping by, see you at training Spitfire!”

“Yeah, thanks for dropping by, it were great seeing you again.” She then shoots out of the door, her wings flapping against the drastic winds to get home. You feel slightly bad but as soon as you are about to get up you are stopped by Rainbow grabbing your hooves.

“You’re not going anywhere mister, I’m you’re marefriend now and you know what that means?”

“I have a feeling I do.” She moves your hooves behind your head and stretches them out, holding you against your will. “We get to finally do something I have wanted to do ever since I laid my eyes on you.”

Jokingly you ask, “Oh, what might that be then?”

“You know exactly what it is, and it’s time we finally did it, you get-“ Her voice is suddenly interrupted by a bolt of lightning crashing through the sky, scaring you half to death, you quickly scurry into the corner with fear, trembling at the sound. “It’s just lightening silly, are you afraid or something?

“N-n- n-nn... O-o-oo-no, what ma-a-akes you say-y-y that-t-t?” The trembling in your voice is clearly stating that you are scared, Rainbow being the pony she is, doesn’t comfort you but instead challenges you to a dare.

“I dare you to race with me, through the storm, all the way to Sweet Apple Acres and back again, you on? Or are you chicken! Chick chick chick chicken!” Now mocking you with chicken noises, you grow in confidence and stop shaking.

“I accept the dare, and I will prove to you that I am not sca-“ Another bolt of lightning shakes you and you fall to the floor, trembling again.

Rainbow rushes over this time to comfort you, “its okay, we don’t have to race, I won’t think any less of you, you know?”

“No!” You stand up, still a bit quirky but good enough to stand. “A dare is a dare, I accept the race, just say when to start and we’re-“ Like lightening its self, Rainbow zooms out of the door heading for Sweet Apple Acres, you follow up behind her, with your wings already soaking wet you give haste, your heart rate speeding up as you get closer and closer to Rainbow. Now neck and neck with each other, avoiding lightening everywhere, each time you hear it you slow down a bit but you eventually catch up with her. As you come around the bend of the farm, Rainbow takes the lead, you gradually pick up the speed and come up right behind her, now neck and neck you try to go even faster, you wings begging for you to stop, both of you leaving a slight trail of rainbow behind you as you fly. The lightening increases and you hear a giant boom, what could only assume was Rainbow Dash doing a Sonic Rainboom as you smile to give her a clap, you don’t notice her, you look behind you as quick as possible and see her falling to the ground and at a rapid rate, you heart beating even faster as you see the love of your life falling to her death, she must have been hit by lightning when she was trying to catch up with you, in a heartbeat you speed off down to her, you won’t make it! You slowed down too much and you can’t keep up! You push your wings even more, faster, faster and FASTER! Eventually you see light bending around you, and suddenly a giant boom is heard from behind your back legs, you’re catching up to rainbow as she free falls through the clouds, you are almost next to her, just a little further and she will be in your grasp, you push yourself even more, your wings are on fire again from sheer speed but you don’t care at this moment, you don’t even feel any pain, with the last of your energy, you burst towards Rainbow, leaving behind another boom, you pick her up in your arms and as you start to rise into the air, you look up and see a bright light coming towards you, it’s lightening! You try your hardest to dodge it but no luck, you are struck by the lightning, covering up Rainbow with your wings, you brace for impact.

As the bolt hits you, you feel a surge of power flow through you, nothing you have ever felt before, you feel like you’re going to fall but you pass it by, you’re only thought is to save Rainbow, the pony who sparks life into you, the pony who makes you feel happy and ecstatic whenever you see her and she is in your arms this very moment, you must save her! A roar leaves you mouth as you feel the lightning tear through your every muscle in your body but you ignore it, instead you push yourself to shoot towards the hospital, as you do the lightning follows you, somehow attached to you, your wings feel like they are going to burn to a small crisp, you look behind you and your coat is white, you feel even more energy flow through you, with another roar you zoom towards the hospital, energy sparking out of your eyes with still the only though, to save Rainbow Dash. You start to see the hospital nearing your sights, you know that you might not make it but you just want Rainbow to be okay, you have no energy left but somehow you feel you have the power to get there, you breath slowly, then take in a giant breath and burst for the hospital, your coat brightening the path with sparks of energy flying off of it, your eyes now as white as a ghost, you crash to the floor, your wings wrapped around Rainbow’s body to save her and take the impact, a lone pony at the doors of the hospital notices you fall and quickly rushes out with other ponies, trying to grab you, but you are filled with so much energy they can’t touch you without being shocked, you release Rainbow and push her towards them, and mutter your last breath… “Please, *cough* please just save her…*wheeze*” You collapse, you hear ponies rushing to grab her and then rush back inside, then everything turns black, not a sound is heard again.
