Chapter 3
You find yourself back inside the long dark hallway, but instead of going down the hall you turn back. You are in a foyer with two grand staircases on each side. You slowly walk to the middle of the room, when you reach it you instantly are thrown across the room, hitting the wall with a sickening crunch. You look up just in time to see a great sword flying towards you. You wake up before it hit you. You sit up quickly, clutching your chest, breathing heavily. Somebody is pounding away at your front door. With a groan you get and answer it, Rainbow Dash is at the door wearing blue cargo shorts and a blue t-shirt. She looks at your pajamas and tries to hid a smile.
“Am I interrupting something?” She asks laughing.
“Yes actually, I was in the middle of a nice nightmare, how long have I got to get ready?” You ask as you step aside and head to your bedroom.
“We have to leave at nine-thirty.” She says as she sits on the couch. You grab a towel and your swimming trunks along with an old t-shirt and enter the bathroom. You take a very quick shower and exit the bathroom with your toothbrush in your mouth. You head to your kitchen and start to pull pots and pans. You turn to Rainbow Dash and take your toothbrush out of your mouth.
“You want anything?” You ask through a mouth of foamy toothpaste. This cause Rainbow Dash to laugh.
“What are you making?” She asked trying to stifle another smile. You hold up an egg. “Sure I could take one or two.”
You put two skillets on the stove and let them heat up while you go back to the bathroom and spit out the toothpaste.
“Toast?” You ask when you are back in your kitchen.
“Sure.” Rainbow Dash says. You quickly toss three pieces into your toaster and you start to fry the eggs. Before long you hand Rainbow Dash her plate and you sit down next to her on the couch. You still lack a dinning table. You hear a chime come from your room and you disappear to retrieve you phone. Flash text you seeing how you were today and to tell you that they have half the cash raised already. You set your phone on the coffee table and finish you breakfast.
“Hey whats your number?” Rainbow Dash asks as you take her plate.
“555-564-3324.” You say as you rinse the dishes off. You hear a chime come from your phone and you see an unknown number on your phone. The text read “Hurry up!” you look over at Rainbow Dash and she had an impatient look on her face. You text back “Let me get my towel.”
With towel in one hand, sunglasses on your face, and phone and wallet in your pocket, you and Rainbow Dash take to the air, flying over Ponyville. The warm morning air wakes you up fully. Soon you and Rainbow Dash arrive at a small camp site at the edge of a lake. There are quite a few people here already. Applejack and Twilight greet you and introduce you to everybody. There is a big strong man, not too much older than yourself, his name is Big Macintosh, who is Applejack brother. Then there are three little girls, named Applebloom, who is Applejack's little sister, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Next you are introduced to a very energetic girl with pink curly hair, named Pinkie Pie. Next a fancy girl with long purple hair that has a slight curl to it. Next your are introduced to the shyest girl you have ever met, she had long pink hair and she wouldn't even look you in the eye, much less talk to you, you are told her name is Fluttershy.
You quickly befriend everyone, and before you know it you are challenged to see how high you are willing to dive into the water, by Rainbow Dash. You are currently standing shirtless on a cloud about 20 feet above the water, with Rainbow Dash right besides you in a rainbow bikini. You peer over the edge.
“So how deep is the water?” You ask.
“50 feet, what are you scared?” She asked with a laugh, you roll you eyes and jump, with a powerful beat from your wings you easily gain another ten feet and you swan dive into the water. You touch the bottom of the lake and kick off, gasping for air once you surface. You get cheers from those on the bank. You look up in time to see Rainbow Dash run and jump off, canon balling in the water, creating a huge splash. She surfaces next to you sticking her tongue out and starts to swim to the bank. You start to swim back easily catching up to Rainbow Dash. You and Rainbow Dash are quickly thrown in a race to reach the bank, and you, forgetting your gentleman quality for a minute, speed past her and reach the bank long before she does.
“Your pretty fast Sonic.” Rarity says as she walks up to you.
“Yeah, probably faster than Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie Pie said happily, with the ever present smile on her face, she reminds you a lot of Speedy.
“Maybe in the water, but I’m way faster in the air.” Rainbow Dash says as she uses your shoulder as an armrest.
“Hey Sonic! Your phone is ringing!” Twilight calls for you from over by your stuff. You run up to it and Flash flashes up on the screen. Drying a hand on your towel, you put him on speaker phone.
“Whats up Flash?” You ask.
“Not much just calling to say we got enough money to visit.” Flash says.
“Alright cool, come over tomorrow and I’ll meet you at the train station.” You say, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applebloom, and Big Mac surrounded you.
“Alright man i- No Speedy, I’m not going to ask him.” Flash said, Speedy must be by him. “No Speedy. Because it's stupid that's why. It's a town I’m sure there are. No I’m not going to ask! Fine just don't take it out of its package!” Flash said suddenly, Speedy must have threatened to take one of Flash's comics out of it's packaging. “Speedy wants to know if there is any hot girls there.”
You feel your face turn red and your face gets warm. Rainbow Dash and Big Mac bust out laughing. You press the end call button, and turn around.
“So are there?” Pinkie Pie asks, with a wide grin on her face.
“Yeah, sure.” You say as you get up.
“Ah don't get it.” Applebloom said with a confused look on her face.
“Don't worry about it kiddo.” Big Mac said once his laughing subsided. Everybody walks back to the water, except you and Rainbow Dash. You dry your hands all of the way and start to text Flash about details.
“So, who do do you think is hot?” Rainbow Dash asks in a curious tone.
“Somebody.” You reply.
“Somebody who?” She asks.
“Just somebody.” You say, looking into her eyes.
“Is it somebody I know?” She asks, taking a step closer.
“Yup.” You say turning back to your phone.
“Are you going to tell me?” She asks. You turn to face her.
“You have a better time losing in a race against me in the air, than you do just me telling you.” You say, tossing your phone down on your blanket.
“So then lets race. If I win, you have to tell me, if I lose, then I will leave you alone.” She said with a smile. You think about it.
“Sure, your on.” You say. Before you know it you and Rainbow Dash are lined up on the bank. You two will fly over the water to the other edge and back. You get ready and when Pinkie Pie yells go, you both take off. You could easily out fly Rainbow Dash, but you stay a little behind till you hit the other bank. On the way back you fly parallel to her and just as you are about to cross the finish line you fall back a little, letting her win by a feather. She lands and runs up to you.
“So? Tell me!” She says.
“Ok, honestly there is no one here I think is hot. Now if the race would have been whether or not I thought somebody was cute, well that would be a different story.” You say with a grin. Rainbow Dash looked like she just got slapped.
“Hey y’all we are going to leave. It's getting kinda late.” Applejack said standing next to Big Mac and Applebloom. This started a chain reaction of people saying they had to go. It was indeed getting late, the sun was starting to set. Somehow you and Rainbow Dash got left alone on the bank of the lake.
“I really don't want to leave!” Rainbow Dash complained, flopping down on her towel. You sit down next to her.
“Well you don't have to.” You say, looking out over the lake.
“Yeah, I could stay here all night, but I have to feed my turtle Tank.” She said as she stood back up and gathered her towel. You grab your stuff and together you both take to the sky, this time you fly her home.
“Nice house.” You say when you see the big cloud house.
“Thanks.” She says. She seems fidgety about something.
“Would you like to ask me something?” You ask with a smile and a small laugh.
“Yeah, um can we hang out again tomorrow?” She asks, she seems a little uncertain about the question, like you were going to turn down the offer to hang out.
“Yeah, you can meet my friends. It'll be great.” You say with a smile.
“Alright cool, meet me here at nine, so I can repay the favor of cooking me breakfast today.” she said and she disappeared into her cloud house. You fly back to your apartment and cook yourself a quick and easy dinner, after that you hit the shower and then bed, but not before you set an alarm on your phone.
Rainbow Dash opens her door on the first knock, you couldn't help but think she was waiting for you.
“Ah, there you are.” She says stepping aside the let you in. You step into a plain living room, with a couch, an armchair and a small TV. You instantly smell something cooking from the kitchen. She disappears into the kitchen and brings out two plates, she hands you one and sits on the couch patting the spot next to her. You sit and she starts to flip through the channels on the TV. You take a bite of the omelet and it tastes just absolutely horrid. Of coarse you don't say this, instead you smile and take another bite. You hear a chime come from you pants and you take out your phone. “Flash” flashed across the screen. You open the text and it reads “We will arrive at the station in about ten minutes.”
“We have to go if we are going to meet my friends off the train.” You say as you text back a quick reply.
“Alright.” Rainbow Dash said as she took the plates into the kitchen. You stand up next to door and your are accompanied by Rainbow Dash. You step out first and she locks the door, together you both fly off towards the train station. You arrive before the train does so you two sit an a bench by the wall you tilt your head back, resting it on the back of the bench and close your eyes. You look up when your hear the train pull in. A mob of people stream out of the train and you get a text on your phone. “Where are you?” it said. You reply “Behind you.” a few seconds later the two boys that had stood in front of you turned around.
“Sonic!” The shorter one said. He had on black shorts and a sleeveless red shirt. A hat sat on top of his red hair.
“How did we miss you?” The taller one asked. He wore blue jeans and a plain white shirt. Glasses sat upon his nose. He had ruffled dark bluish hair.
“Good question Flash. This is Rainbow Dash.” You say as you stand up, Flash is taller than you by an inch, and Speedy comes up to your chest, just below Rainbow Dash who comes up to your pecs.
“Damn, you didn't tell me there were hot babes here Sonic!” Speedy said looking her over. This of coarse earned him a smack on the back of his head so hard he hit his head off the wall.
“Do behave, Speedy and try to keep it in your pants.” Flash said as he pushed his glasses up further on his nose. “Are we going?”
“Yeah, lets go.” You say as you four snap open your wings, and take to the sky. You are at your apartment before too long and the four of you are piling into your small apartment.
“Oh, your father told me to give you this.” Flash said as he took out an envelope. You open it and read “I know where you are, and I will find you.” You walk over to your stove and turn on a burner. You light the paper on fire and put the paper in the sink. You turn back to the living room and Flash and Speedy are already fighting over who gets to sleep where. you turn to Rainbow Dash.
“Sorry for Speedy, he has a tendency to think with his dick, but he's so small you could probably hit him with your wing and kill him.” You say and this makes her laugh.
“It's alright, so what did you have planned for today.” She asks sitting on the couch.
“Find a job.” You say.
“I could get you a job with clearing the sky's like me.” She said.
“That would be perfect.” You say and she excuses herself to talk on the phone. From the conversation you over hear it's about getting you the job. After a few minutes she hangs up her phone.
“Job got, I just hope you don't mind working under me.” She says with a smile.
“Nah, I just hope you can keep up with me.” You say with a smile. Flash and Speedy walk up to you.
“Tell Flash that I get the bed.” Speedy said.
“Oh please, why would you get the bed?” Flash asked Speedy.
“That's my bed, the couch pulls out you can both sleep on that.” You say, your phone rings. Unknown number comes up on the screen and you put it on speaker phone.
“Shut up, hello?” You ask.
“Baby? Are you there?” A very high pitched voice asks.
“SHIT!” You tell, you start to frantically push buttons till your are sure you have ended the call.
“Why did you answer her call you dumb ass!?” Speedy yelled. Clutching his heart, even Flash seemed shaken up. The only person in the room who wasn't shaken up was Rainbow Dash and she looked like she was in a room full of crazy people.
“It was an unknown number, do you really think I would answer that psycho’s calls on purpose?” You ask.
“Well you did date her.” Flash said. “Do you think she tracked the call?”
“Lets hope not.” You say.
“Who was that?” Rainbow Dash asked looking at you, Flash, and Speedy like you were crazy.
“That was his ex.” Speedy said once he calmed down.
“I still get nightmares from that psycho-bitch’s antics.” Flash said readjusting his glasses. Speedy started to go into depth of describing her features and his theory of why you dated her, making you go red in the face. Then he started to talk about the horrors of the girl. Not letting him rest at night, always being besides him, almost breaking up there group. There was no stop to the horrors of this girl.
“... and then she insisted to dress alike for Halloween.” Speed said with a gulp. Rainbow Dash just laughed.
“That's what normal couples do.” She said when her laughing subsided. Flash, Speedy, and yourself all exchanged looks before you spoke.
“Show her.” You say, and Speedy pulls out his phone and opens a picture and showed it to Rainbow Dash, who upon seeing it laughed even harder.
“Just wait till you meet her.” Flash says.
“Yeah, well this has been fun and all but I need to feed Tank. I will see you at my house at ten-thirty.” Rainbow Dash said to you before she left your apartment. You look at the clock on you phone and see that it has really gotten late.
“I'm going to bed.” You say, and you enter your bedroom and close the door, fall on your bed and let sleep overcome you.
