//------------------------------// // Strange Feelings // Story: A Burning Passion // by Stasys //------------------------------// Spitfire was slowly making her way back to her room from the boss' office, thinking about Ducky. The human meant so much to her... she almost couldn't believe it. Even when she was turned-down by Ducky about a month ago, her feelings have only gotten stronger for him. She pondered every posable reason as to why her love was so strong for him. She loved Ducky because he was the only being that could touch her heart. Almost everypony always saw her as either a strict captain, a money bag, or a dirty slut. The Wonderbolts were good friends, but only one person took time out of his day to make sure she was happy, who comforted her when she was sad and warmed her heart when she needed it most... Ducky. An innocent smile formed on Spitfires snout as she dreamed about Ducky. As she neared her room, she started to hear loud noises coming from the rookies room. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ow!!! You Bitch!" *CRACK* "AAAA!! What is wrong with you!" *WHAP.... CRASH!!!* "STOP IT!" She didn't let up, the rookie continued to fly around the room, attacking from all angles to cause maximum damage to your soft human body. You tried to make a run for it, but you were immediately tackled and pined to the ground face-first. The door swung open. "What the hell is going on here!" It was Spitfire. You try to look up but you are still pined to the floor, "It's not what you think captain-" "Not what I think!? Your siting on top of Ducky with spots of his blood on your coat and your telling me that 'it's not what I think'?" The room was silent. You felt Rainbow Dash step off of you and take a few steps back. You still decide to lay down and take a moment to catch your breath. "Are you alright Ducky?" Spitfire's tone drastically changed from seething anger, to concern for you. You mumble into the soft white carpet, "I'm fine." Spitfire sighs in relief and returns to the Rookie, "I just don't understand you Rainbow." You then feel Spitfire's moist nose nudge into your side, "Come on Ducky, lets go." You sorely stand up, making loud groaning noises as you did. When you finally got up, you looked at the orange pegasus. She had a deeply concerned look in her face as she stared at you. She then took a few steps to get to your side and started to lead you out of the room. Before the door closes shut behind you, you gaze back at Rainbow Dash, who was sadly looking at the white floor below her. You couldn't tell, but it seemed like she was crying. Spitfire used her body to help steer you back to her room. When you finally reached her room, you sat down on the white couch and looked at Spitfire. She walked into the bathroom, which was out of sight, and turned on the bathroom sink. You couldn't tell what she was doing, but she soon came back a few seconds later with a wet washcloth in her mouth. She sat down next to you and placed the wash cloth in her hoof. "Looks like it hurt..." Spitfire said sarcastically. You weren't in a joking mood. She then began to dab the wounds on your face gently with the washcloth. You groaned as she began to dab the cuts on your cheeks. You shrugged off the pain and began to stare deeply into the mare's eyes as she continued to soak up the blood on your face. You couldn't tell if it was because of a concussion, but something about Spitfire at this moment made you think about kissing her right then and there, But something was holding you back. Spitfire took the bloodied wash cloth and set it on a near by table. She looked back at you and said, "Feel better?" "A little," you respond. You felt a strange feeling come over you, something you had never felt before. Something about Spitfire changed in this moment to you. A new feeling began to overtake your heart, something you had never felt before... it was love. "You alright Ducky? You seem a little disoriented." "Huh... what?" You shake your head to snap out of the trance you were in. The feeling in your heart started to settle down, but it was still lingering. "Oh, nothing Spitfire." "Are you sure, Looks like you had something important to say." A part of you just wanted to take her and make love to her on the spot, but another part seemed to keep whispering, "Not now you dummy, wait for the perfect moment." "No really it was nothing," You responded. "Alright, well I need to get some sleep, and don't worry about Rainbow Dash... I have it covered." She then jumped off of the couch and made her way to her bed. You crawled under the sheets and slowly started to close you eyes. Spitfire then turned off the lights "Goodnight Spitfire," you said "Goodnight Ducky," Spitfire then mumbled something inaudible to herself, and she soon fell into a deep slumber. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spitfire's Room 8:17 A.M. 19 days until show in Las Pegasus. You yawn and slowly awake from your slumber. As you slowly sit-up, you groan about the weak, but still lingering pain from last nights beat down. Trying to ignore the pain, you make your way to the bathroom. As you walk in, you notice a folded note next to your tooth brush. You pick up the note and read it; Ducky, Feel free to use my shower in the morning. Judging from the spots of blood on your shirt, it looks like you could use one. Use any of the soaps that are already in there, I already got you a towel you can use to dry yourself off. I have practice at 6:30 with the rest of the team, and we will be done around 9:45. Don't forget about the horror movie tonight, this month's movie is supposed to be very scary and I can't wait to hear Soarin' scream like a little filly again. See you there! Spitfire You chuckle silently and set the note back on the counter. You take a quick glance in the mirror above and notice a cut under your left eye along with a bruise on your right cheek... but other than that you looked fine. You decide that a shower would do you some good, so you quickly undress and step in. Spitfire was only 4'6" but her shower was bigger than most normal ones in Equestria were, so thankfully, you didn't have to crouch over to clean yourself. You let the water run over your bruised body as you grab a bottle of shampoo labeled; S'mores. You open the bottle and squeeze a small amount in the palm of your hand. As you rub the sweet smelling contents in your hair, your mind drifts off.... thinking about how you will spend your first day on vacation. a few ideas came to mind, but you decided that you should first grab some breakfast with the rest of the team. The shower was over as quickly as it had started. You wash out the remaining soap in your hair and turn the water off. You then quickly dry yourself off and make your way to the wardrobe that Spitfire lent you for your clothes. You put on a pair of blue and yellow shorts, along with a basic white t-shirt. As you leave Spitfire's room to start the day, you slip on a pair of sandals and pull your goggles around your neck... I wonder whats for breakfast
