I frantically knock at Rarity's door, sweat beading on my forehead.

"What, what!?" She demands as she rips the door open. "Rainbow Dash, it's ten o'clock in the morning, what is going-"

"Inside!" I order, motioning for her to go in.

"What?"

"Inside inside inside!" I shout, pushing her inside and shutting the door behind me. I quickly pull the blinds shut, and then push Rarity into a chair as I take a seat across from her. She frowns at me, obviously concerned as I sigh in relief: privacy is a blessing...

"Darling, what's wrong?"

"I have a date today," I inform her.

"What!? With whom?" She demands, grinning at me. "That is wonderful news, Rainbow Dash!"

"It's with Peter," I respond, gulping as I look around to make sure nopony is listening. "But, listen, there's-"

"Oh, my, you had better make him as comfortable as possible!" Rarity cries.

"Rarity, listen to me!" I shout, grabbing her by her forelegs. She nods, and I gulp as I begin to speak. "You have to Pinkie Pie Promise that you'll never tell anypony what I'm about to tell you." She goes through the motions, and I nod. "Alright. Back on Earth, Peter killed another human."

"What!? You're going to be dating a murderer!?" Rarity shrieks.

"Shush!" I order, biting my lower lip in anxiety. I look around again before looking back to her. "He's not a murderer. He only killed the human because he had to - he doesn't want to ever kill again, and he never will. I trust him, Rarity - he outright told me that he killed somehuman, and was still super nice to me...after that, I decided to test him by cuddling with him in his sleep, right?"

"He could've killed you!" Rarity whimpers.

"Exactly, but he didn't. All he did was tell me how grateful he was for keeping it secret, and hold me!" I cry. "He was just super nice with me, and he was being all tender...he accidentally leaned on my foreleg in the night, and he kept apologizing to me because it hurt me a bit. He's too gentle to kill ever again..."

Rarity frowns as I rant on. "If you agreed to keep it secret, why are you telling me?" She asks, confused.

"Because...because I needed to know if I was doing the right thing," I admit to her. "Look, I really like Peter, and...well, he trusts me, and I trust him. And, well...he said he wants to date me because he wants to be there for me..." I start to soften a bit as I smile to myself. For some reason, I've always been able to open up a bit with Rarity: she knows that everypony has a soft side, myself included. "It's...it's nice to finally have a guy that actually cares about me, y'know?"

Rarity smiles at me. "Oh, Rainbow, that is simply adorable..."

I nod a bit, oblivious to the obvious insult in my thoughtful state. "And so...that's why I wanted your help. Do you think I should keep it secret, and date him? Because I know that he'll never willingly hurt anypony...he's too nice..."

"Why, yes, I do! Let your romance bloom! If you care for him the same way he cares for you, then you shall keep it secret and allow for your love to blossom!"

"Love?" I ask, rather disgusted. "It...it's not love, Rarity..." I feel myself growing rather nauseous at the concept.

"Sure it's not," she remarks with a smirk. "In any case, I won't tell any ponies..."

I frown. Why did she emphasize ponies like that...? Eh, whatever. It's just some sort of Rarity thing...

"Well, I'm off to buy the tickets for the movie," I inform her. "Seeya!"

Rarity

I nod as Rainbow Dash rushes out the door.

And I immediately spring into action, fighting for the justice of Equestria!

I Pinkie Pie Promised not to tell anypony.

I didn't Pinkie Pie Promise not to tell anydragon...

I quickly arrive at the library, panting a bit at the physical exertion. But this is worth it - there is a killer in our midst! He must be brought to justice...

"Spikey-Wikey!" I call out, grateful that my makeup hides my blush as I call out for the lovely little dragon...

"Rarity?" Spike calls out. My heart skips a beat as he rounds the corner with a grin. "Hi! What's up, Rarity - is there anything I can do for you? Would you like a drink, or a..."

"Spike, I wish I could romanticize this moment," I inform my lovely-bubbly little dragon. "But you must tell Twilight something!"

"What? What's the matter? Is there somepony I've got to beat up?"

"Peter killed a human back on Earth," I whisper to him. "And Rainbow Dash has fallen for him, and agreed to keep it secret. But I'm telling you so justice can be defended in this wonderful nation of Equestria!"

Spike's jaw falls as he hears that. "I'm on it, Rarity!" He announces, before running into the back of the library. I nod as I opt to take a seat, relieved as my duty is fulfilled. I sigh as I toss my mane out of my eyes, rather proud of myself for doing what must be done...

"Rarity....."

I look around in surprise. "Pinkie Pie?"

A book falls from a shelf, and lands before me, open to page 108. I frown at it, and reel away with a gasp as a phantom of Pinkie Pie rises out of it, chains binding her to the book as her eyes glow. "You broke Rainbow's Pinkie Promise..." She snickers a little, and the daggers in her eyes start to pierce through her pupils, causing a bit of blood to leak into her cheeks.

"No, I didn't," I protest as I avert my eyes from the nauseating monstrosity. "I told Spike, who's a dragon. I promised not to tell any ponies."

The snickering stops, and when I look back, I see that Pinkie Pie is nodding. "Alright. Sorry to scare you like this. Bye!" With that, she's sucked back into the book, and it returns to its spot on the shelf. I sigh in relief as the phantom leaves.

"Rarity, Peter killed somehuman?"

I look back to Twilight, and nod. Didn't tell her: just confirmed suspicions...

"Alright...I'll let Mayor Mare know! Spike, send a letter to the Princess and let her know! Rarity, I'll make sure to have Celestia give you a reward - thank you for doing this..."

I nod, and move over to the couch so I can rest as Spike bustles for some paper and a quill, and Twilight rushes out the front door.

Peter

I smile as Rainbow Dash presents me with the tickets.

"I bought tickets to go see Daring Do," she announces as I take them from her teeth. "We can sit together and watch it...uh...see, I've never gone on a date before, so I'll be flyin' blind here. You've got to lead me a bit..."

I nod, and look at the tickets to see what time the movie's playing at. I frown as I look back to the clock, and see that it starts in ten minutes.

"We've got to get going, now!" I shout. "If we don't, we won't get good seats!"

"Seats?" Rainbow asks as I pull on my hoodie and my sneakers. "What, like benches? Peter, they have sorta bed-like things. You wanna be able to stretch out and be comfy, right? Plus, it would be hard for ponies to sit on a seat and watch a movie...I mean, we can sit like you do all the time, but it can cause a few back problems..."

I nod, and shrug. "Alright. Sounds good." I smirk at her. "And seeing as how you enjoy being in bed with me, I say it'll be fun..."

Rainbow Dash blushes, and looks away with a small smile. Once she realizes what she's doing, she shakes her head to snap out of it. "Ugh, I must look so stupid..." She mutters. "Yeesh, I always promised myself I'd never let any stupid romantic crap make me go...stupid, y'know?"

"It's your first date," I remind her. "Like, ever. It's to be expected."

Rainbow nods, and we finally walk out the door.

When we exit, it's to the sunny autumn afternoon. A bit of snow still layers the ground, as the Pegasus ponies are preparing the ground for the cold of winter.

"This way," Rainbow announces. "C'mon."

I nod, and follow her all the way to the theater. Once we get there, Rainbow motions for me to go in first. I grin at her as I do just that, confused as to why the theater is in such a small building...

However, I soon realize that it's no small: a majority of it is underground. I find that out as Rainbow leads me down the stairs, and to the usher that checks out tickets, tears off a small nub, then hoofs then back. We smile at each other with our own little blushes as we hurry down the stairs to theater five.

Once we get in, I instruct Rainbow to join me in the back of the theater.

"But we won't be as close to the action!" Rainbow protests as an advertisement flickers across the screen.

"Yeah, but other people - I mean, ponies - won't want to see us on our date, you know? It's just common courtesy to sit in the back, so nopony else has to watch us holding hands - er, hooves...or me holding your hoof, or whatever. It's also a good idea to get some privacy during a date - that way, any intimacy we share won't be awkward due to publicity."

Rainbow blushes visibly in the darkened theater at the term "intimacy." Rather than dwell on it, I take out the few bits I've saved from my pockets as I go through a door marked "food and drink." I purchase a pack of Skittles, (weird that they exist here, too, right?) and one large soda, with two straws. I then lead Rainbow to the back of the theater, and I find that she was telling the absolute truth.

Rather than seats, there are beds. And these beds range in size from single pony beds to double pony beds, all for the sake of solo viewing and (I'm going to assume) viewing with dates. Only three of the six double beds are vacant, so I bring Rainbow over to one in a dark corner: experience dictates that we won't want to be seen as we watch the movie...

I elect myself to sit closer to the wall, and Rainbow nods in gratitude as she sits next to me. She places the soda in the cup holder next to her, on a small pedestal, and I place the rather large pack of skittles between us. Rainbow Dash smiles as the movie starts, and I move to grasp her hoof.

"Already?" She asks, seeming rather unsure as I rest my hand on her cloven. "I mean, you're already getting romantic?"

I shrug. "Why not? It'll make the rest easier, Rainbow Dash: I promise, you won't be as nervous after a few minutes..."

"I'm not nervous," she whispers in return. She snaps her attention to the screen, and I can see her blush in the reflected light. "Just watch the stinkin' movie..."

I grin as I pull her hoof onto my chest, and relax a bit as what seems to be a pony version of Indiana Jones starts up...

As we sit through the movie, there's a jump scare in the form of a skeleton. Rainbow gasps as she jumps a bit, and I smirk as I look at her.

"Gotcha, huh?" I ask.

"No," she immediately responds. "Nothing can scare me. Hay, nothing can even startle me!"

An urge that's been building up since we entered the building finally finds a way to express itself as I look over Rainbow's body. With her hoof in my hand and her mane spilled over her ear, she seems to be so fierce yet so gentle. I smile as my heart skips a beat: beautiful inside, beautiful outside.

"You sure about that?" I ask, a little bit of seductiveness finding its way around my tongue.

"Yeah. Why, you got an idea?" Rainbow asks, smirking at me.

"Yeah," I whisper in response as I lean towards her. "I think I've got an idea..."

Rainbow frowns as I move closer, and hold her hoof a bit closer against my chest. "Peter, what're you-"

I silence her by placing a hand on her cheek, and darting in to give her a light kiss on the lips. Rainbow's eyes widen, and she lets out a silent yelp as our lips connect.

Once she's not startled, and is more blissful, I stop the kiss, stroking her cheek in care.

"Okay...I've gotta admit..." She whispers, blushing as she turns onto her side to examine me, "that did sorta get me..."

I smile as I rub her cheek with a thumb. "How'd it feel?" I ask, silently.

"It felt fake," she whispers as she leans forward. "It was my first kiss...but it wasn't. I always imagined it as...being emotional, and...and intimate..."

I smile. "I know," I whisper as I fidget a bit closer to her. I end up with my arm wrapped around her as we lean closer together. "That wasn't a kiss, Rainbow Dash. This will be your first kiss..."

Rainbow blushes as she starts to blush, and I smile as I rest a hand on her cheek. I lean forward, slowly closing my eyes as she closes hers.

Our lips finally connect, and I feel the actual urge lifting, replaced with an elated happiness.

I'm kissing Rainbow Dash...

That's all I can think as she presses her body against mine, her forelegs wrapping around me as our lips open and close, interlocking and parting as we continue with the gentle, passionate, slow kiss...

After a while, Rainbow pulls away, and buries her muzzle in my chest. I smile as I press my lips to the crown of her head, stroking her mane as she starts to whisper.

"That felt amazing," she whispers. "Like everything Rarity ever said it would be..."

I smile as I close my eyes, holding Rainbow Dash in a warmer embrace. "You know...this romantic side of you is really nice," I inform her as I start to breathe deeply in relaxation. "I didn't think you'd have a romantic side..."

"I do," she whispers. "Bits and pieces of my personality sorta come out in different packets, y'know? Like photons..."

"You know what photons are?" I ask, pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah," she chuckles. "But don't tell Twilight, or anypony else for that matter...they all look at me like a dumb jock, and it's that perception that lets me stay impersonal..."

"Why d'you wanna stay impersonal?" I ask with a frown.

"Because the few times I let ponies get close and personal with me, they hurt me," she whispers. "I only let myself act like...well...myself, in front of my closest friends and...well, you."

I nod, and kiss her on the crown of her head. "I'm proud to be in that circle, Rainbow Dash. Thank you for trusting me like that..."

Rainbow smiles as she kisses me on the cheek. "Thank you for trusting me..."

I nod, and we kiss and snuggle for the next ten minutes. It's not until a half hour later that I work up the courage to use my tongue, and once we're done with our first make out session, she snuggles into me with small pants and nuzzles.

I grin to myself as, five minutes later, we start to make out again. I don't know what it is, but something about her tongue being so damn broad and long makes me go wild...

Eugh, that sounded sorta gay, didn't it...

I shrug it off as we share another tender moment of snugging, and I realize how happy I am to finally be with her...

Rainbow and I exit the theater with smiles and giggles, her tail slapping against my legs every few moments as we walk...

"So, wanna stay at my place again?" I suggest. "We can make out all night..."

Rainbow chuckles as she nods. "Yeah..."

I nod, and I'm about to suggest we get some lunch when several dozen ponies immediately surround us, seemingly coming right out of thin air.

"Uh...what's going on?" Rainbow Dash asks.

It's then that six ponies walk forth: Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight, and the mare that happens to be a Mayor. The Mayor clears her throat, and begins to speak.

"Peter, you are surrounded. Do not attempt to flee. You are under arrest for murder."

I frown. "But I never killed anypony," a suspicion nibbling at the back of my mind as I cast a glance at Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, but you killed a human back on Earth," Twilight informs me.

"And how would you know that?" I mutter.

"Rainbow Dash told me, and I told Spike," Rarity announces. "Spike then told Twilight, and sent a letter to Celestia."

"Rarity," Rainbow Dash whimpers. "I trusted you...."

"And I trusted you, Rainbow," I growl. "I trusted you to keep it a secret. I trusted you to share the burden of that knowledge. And you abused that trust." Rainbow starts to protest, but I stop her with an outstretched hand. "Don't say I can still trust you. I can't. And any relationship we had is over now."

She lets our a choked sob, and I hear her take off behind me, embarrassed and broken. I sigh as I extend my hands towards the crowd, and a pony immediately slaps cuffs onto my wrists. "I'm sorry," Rarity says to me as I'm paraded to the town hall.

"Go shove it up your ass," I snap at her.

I sit in the cell, chewing the fat in my cheeks.

"You know that Celestia will probably have you sentenced to banishment, right?"

I glare at Twilight, who's stayed with me the whole time. "Fuck you," I spit. She nods, as if she were expecting as much.

"Twilight...the Princess just sent me a letter," Spike announces, coming forward with a frown.

"What's his sentence?" Twilight sighs.

"It's a royal pardon..."

I nod to myself. She saw my memories, she knows why I did it...

"Oh..." Twilight mutters. "Well, you're free to go, Peter..."

I nod again as the cell's bar door is pulled open. I snatch the pardon from Spike's claws, and walk out of the jail without a second glance. I pass off the pardon to the guard, and he nods me out.

I start on my way back to my house, hot tears threatening to burst forth at any moment.

I trusted her...

I kissed her...

I swallow back a sob as I ignore the glares of disgust and confusion. I trusted her...so much...

And even worse, I was slightly sexually attracted to her! That's the main reason as to why I decided to trust her, like a fucking idiot...

Plus, with how much she decided to trust me, I thought I could trust her...from coming out of her shell around me, to letting herself act a bit girly with me...

For fuck's sake, I kissed that bitch...

I sigh as I hear a pair of wings far above me. Rainbow is probably following me, trying to find a way to apologize...

After seventeen minutes of walking, I finally reach my house. I would call it a home, but it's not a home. It's just a building.

I throw the door open, and decide to leave it open for whoever wants to apologize. May as well be civil about it, hm?

I immediately march into my bedroom, and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling as I wonder what I'll say to her. Should I just punch her in the face? Or should I betray her trust, too?

Maybe I'll just snap her leg, that would be entertaining...ah, yes, I can imagine her screams now...

"Uhm...hello?" I frown as the owner of the familiar voice gently closes my door. "I...I saw you walking out of the jail...where are you?"

"In here," I respond, my voice almost catching in my throat as I speak.

"Alright..."

After a moment, Rainbow's head pops out from the hallway, and looks at me with a frown. I cast her a glance, and nod in acknowledgement.

"D'you...mind if I join you?" She asks, nervously approaching the bed. I can see that she's been crying.

"Yes," I respond with a sigh. "I mind."

Rainbow freezes, as she apparently didn't expect that response. She nods as she stands by my bed, and takes a deep, shaky breath before speaking.

"I didn't tell Rarity to get you in trouble. I told her because I had to be sure that I was doing the right thing." She casts her gaze away from me. "I had to be sure that I wouldn't end up just getting hurt, again..."

I frown as my heart tells me to hug her, but also tells me to kick her the fuck out. I choose silence, and Rainbow continues.

"If you hate me, I'd understand...but I made Rarity Pinkie Pie Promise never to tell anypony, ever...but Spike's not a pony, so...that didn't quite work out..."

"Yeah, no shit," I spit.

"Look, I just want to say...that I had a really good time today. It was the first time I ever really felt totally comfortable around a guy...well, besides Big Mac. And I...Peter, if...you don't have to forgive me, but...could we...could we still be...dating?"

I look at her in surprise. She's actually asking for something like that after what she did!? "No," I respond, flatly. "Rainbow, what you did...it hurt me, Rainbow."

"Why do you have to be so sensitive about it!?" Rainbow Dash shouts, apparently angry at me. I sit bolt upright, and shove off of the bed so I can glare at her.

"Excuse me?" I demand. "I trusted you with the biggest secret of my entire life, Rainbow Dash. You treated it like it was nothing!"

"No, I didn't! I didn't know what to do, I needed help!"

"Well, good job! Getting help ended up letting all of Ponyville know that I had to kill a guy, you fucking twat! I mean, for fuck's sake, Rainbow Dash, it should be common sense that you don't tell your friends!"

Rainbow stands up on her hind hooves so she can glare right back at me, her wings splayed out for balance. Or in irritation: I can't tell. "Yeah, well you didn't have to make such a big show out of it!"

"Such a big show!? It was your asshole friends that surrounded and arrested me! And you flew away sobbing!"

"Yeah, 'cus you broke up with me in front of all those ponies! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is!?"

"Oh, fuck you!" I roar at her. "I was the one that was publicly humiliated, and flagged as a fucking murderer!"

"Yeah, but you didn't have to embarrass me, too!"

"You're the one that betrayed me!"

"I didn't betray you - Rarity betrayed me!"

"Then fuck the both of you!" I shout. "You shouldn't have told her - you shouldn't have told anypony!"

"Then you shouldn't have tried to kill me!"

"I didn't try to kill you!" I shout. "I had a nervous breakdown, I remembered when I killed that guy because of how we were fighting!"

"Then you shouldn't have fought me like that, you should've just stayed on boxing!"

I have nothing else to say to that, so I just shout, "Fuck you, Rainbow Dash!"

"Buck you, Peter!"

"I hate you, you fucking bitch!" I scream. "I kissed you - I made out with you! I trusted you so much, Rainbow Dash!" I start to break down as tears finally force themselves forth. "I trusted you so much! I trusted you, and you betrayed me!" My argument begins to fall apart as I do, as well. In reality, I know it was my fault for trusting her in the first place, and for such a stupid reason...

"I trusted you because...because...because I wanted to fall in love with you," I admit (against my better judgement) as I lean against the bed for support. My legs are starting to give out from the exhaustion of just being totally emotionally destroyed.

Rainbow Dash remains silent, but I can hear her stepping towards me on her hind hooves. She rests her hoof on my hand, and grasps my other hand with her spare hoof. I look up at her, and while half of my heart tells me to push her away, the other half of my heart, and my testicles, tell me to...to...

I follow my dick as I throw myself at her, kissing her with passion and forgiveness. The logic of my emotions are washed away by the illogical longing for a relationship with her as I run my hands up and down her body, feeling every inch of her as our tongues slide together...

We fall onto the bed, and Rainbow Dash takes off a pair of panties that had previously been invisible to me. I tear my clothes off, as well, and we continue to make out, smiling and panting into each other's mouths as passion and lust override anger and pain.

I pant as I stare up at the ceiling, Rainbow Dash's head resting on my chest with my arm draped over her. She wraps a foreleg around my waist, and I find myself wondering how the fuck that just happened...

"You're my first," Rainbow informs me in an emotional whisper. I sort of gathered that from the blood, but I bite my tongue. A few moments of silence span between us before she speaks again.

"Will you forgive me, Peter?" She asks, silently. I gulp as a few more tears find their way forth.

"Yes," I whisper, unable to say no after such an emotional display from the cyan Pegasus.

"I love you," she whispers.

"I love you, too..."

With that, she falls asleep, and I'm quick to follow.

All I can think is:

What have I gotten myself into?
