//------------------------------// // Chapter Six // Story: Save The World, Duh! // by TheKing2001 //------------------------------// Rainbow “What I miss?” I asked curiously as I climbed under the tarp covering the statue and tent my friends, Cloudkicker and her friends, Daisy and her sisters had slept in. “Anything cool happen?” “Sunset and Derpy said they would help Starlight get with Trixie,” Daisy said helpfully. “Apparently she has feelings for her so Starlight was asking how they started out and stuff. Really enlightening stuff.” “Even I didn’t know this stuff they talked about,” Roseluck admitted as she sipped a coffee. Apparently Roseluck had gone with Pinkie to get us all coffees and donuts. Sunset had already been awake by the time we had woken up. Sunsets tail flicked back and forth as she levitated a book in front of her. “My counterpart is so cool!” I announced happily as Lightning approached Sunset at the table in the library. “I want you to read this,” Sunset said as she tapped the book with a hoof. “It’s how pegasus fly. We don’t have any pegasus in the group other than Fluttershy and Dash and I’m pretty sure you don’t want Dash as teacher.” “Hey!” I glared at the portal as everyone laughed. “I’d be a great teacher!” “Wait Derpy is a pegasus,” Lightning pointed out. “Can’t she teach me?” “Derpy doesn’t prefer to fly. She prefers to walk in Equestria. She’s only flown a few times,” Sunset explained. “The time we slept together in bed before we started dating. She woke up and freaked out because she thought she upset me is one such time.” “And why aren’t you having Scootaloo here learning?” Lightning pressed curiously as she opened the book. “Equestrian Scootaloo is born with defective wings. They can flap and stuff but she can’t get more than a few feet off the ground. We both agreed it didn’t really seem fair if the Equestrian Scootaloo saw her counterpart flying when she couldn’t,” Sunset explained quietly as she placed her hooves on the table. “That’s awful,” Fluttershy whispered as she pressed a hand over her mouth. “Poor pony Scootaloo.” “Yeah,” Sunset agreed. “After we get a few chapters in, maybe we can find Dash and have her show you the ropes. I can use magic to fly but it’s not really the same thing as having wings.” “Must be nice to have magic,” Lightning grumbled. “I can’t figure these hooves out.” “It’ll take a while,” Sunset said with a smirk. “Imagine how I felt coming into your world and having to learn to walk on two feet. It was an experience.” “You never really talk about life back here,” Roseluck commented casually. “What was it like?” “Nice,” Sunset said simply. “Unless I’m in heat then it sucks.” “Heat?” Raindrops raised an eyebrow as she folded her arms. “It’s when we go into mating season,” Sunset answered and waved her hoof. “Our bodies tell us to well have sex to reproduce. The mares give off a scent. I always just used my magic to remove the smell I gave off so I didn’t have a million stallions coming up to me.” “Oh that’s uh,” Rarity paused as she turned red. “Interesting? I prefer to not think about my friends having sex.” “I actually kind of prefer being in heat,” Sunset admitted without looking up from her book. “It only comes once a year. In the human world, it comes every month and it’s painful. Plus I can’t use my magic to get rid of it.” “I never thought about it that way,” Lightning mused as she bit the page and turned it. “So you guys can only reproduce during heat?” “Oh no,” Sunset laughed as she winked. “We can have sex whenever we want. We’re like humans, we have sex for fun too. Believe it or not, my first time was in my human body.” “Ooh with who?” Cloudchaser teased with grin. “Derpy,” Sunset said simply. “Obviously. I wasn’t into Flash to ever offer.” “Thank god Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom aren’t here for this conversation,” Rarity muttered under her breath. “Never been more grateful for Pinkie needing a cupcake than I do right now.” “Sunset help!” Silver Spoon screamed as Sunsets head shot up and looked to the door. Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, Scootaloo, Ruby and Dinky rolled into the room in a ball. “Uhm what’s the problem?” Sunset asked and bit her lip to hide her smirk. “We accidentally rolled down the hill and well we all got stuck and tangled up. A nice pegasus mare rolled us in,” Ruby explained as a white pegasus with a watermelon mane and a flower cutie mark trotted in. “Is this where Sunset is?” The mare asked curiously. “Diamond Tiara said to come to Princess Twilights castle.” “I’m right here,” Sunset answered with a sigh as she started untangling the fillies. “Ah okay,” the mare smiled and I tilted my head in confusion. The voice sounded familiar. “I’m Blossomforth. They were trying to run down the hill and things evidently went wrong.” We all looked at our version of Blossomforth before looking back to the pegasus. “Wow you look good as a pony,” Cloudkicker teased and elbowed Blossom with a wink. “Guide to flying one oh one,” Equestrian Blossomforth read as she flapped her wings above Lightning. “If you’re trying to fly, I know a mare who can help you.” “Really?” Lightning asked eagerly as she leaned forward. “Who?” “Meet me on the field near the Everfree tonight at eight,” Equestrian Blossomforth answered. “I’m technically at work right now with the weather team. Cloudkicker and I will meet you there.” “What about Raindrops?” Sunset asked curiously as she placed Diamond on her back. “I mean I guess she could come with. She’s kinda grumpy at times. I was going to bring along White Lightning and Sassaflash. Maybe Sprinkle Medley?” Equestrian Blossomforth answered with a shrug. “I really gotta get back to work. See you all then!” “See ya!” Lightning called out. Equestrian Blossomforth flapped her wings and flew out the door. We all looked at our Blossomforth as she inhaled. “I’m a pegasus. That’s awesome.”
