Chapter 7
“Now what do we do?” Dash asked as she flopped down on the bed in your shabby hotel room.
“Now we just do stuff that Elegance will notice and wait.” you replied as you flop down beside her.
“What did you have in mind?” she asked as she rolled over onto your shoulder. You take out your phone and call Speedy.
“Hey Speedy.” you say causally.
“Hey man, I heard that you are suppose to come back to Manehatten for a week or something.” he said, he sounded bored.
“Yeah, I'm here in a shabby hotel room, you want to do something?” you ask.
“Hell yeah dude, just like what we use to do.” Speedy replies. It sounded like he was typing on a keyboard.
“Well not everything, I've got Dash with me.” you say.
“Cool, cool.” he says.
“Yeah man she totally wants your 'D'.” you say jokingly.
“Hey that's nice look can I call you back after work?” Speedy asks In a dull voice.
“Looking up porn is not a job dude.”
“Yes it is. Anyways see you dude.” Speedy says and hangs up. You look at Dash.
“He is so miserable.” you say.
“I can tell, I’m thinking about reconsidering wanting his 'D'.” Dash said seriously. You decide to call Flash, hopefully you will get a response out of him.
“This is Hot Air Balloons R' Us. My name is Flashexander Wave, how can I help you.” you hear, you start to chuckle.
“I need two buddies to wreck havoc at night just like old times, can you help me?” you ask sarcastically.
“Let me see what I can do. Please hold.” Flash said and he put you on hold. It was a catchy little tune. “Ok, I get off at five, shall we meet at the usually spot?” he asked.
“Sure.” you reply.
“Ok thank you sir and please if you have any hot air balloon problems, please give us a call.” Flash said before hanging up.
“And that is how that is done.” you say and you put your phone back in your pocket.
“So what do we do in the mean time?” Dash asks.
“Wanna get lunch?” you ask.
“Sure.” Dash replies and she gets up. You stand up and walk out of your room. You both take off and head to an old dinner that has the best hamburgers. You walk in the shop and pick a both table.
“Hey sugar, what can I get for you two?” an old woman asked when she walked up to the table, she sounded and looked like a clique dinner waitress.
“I would like a hamburger, extra onions and cheese, some sweet potato fries, onion rings, and a large soda.” you say, briefly looking over the menu. Dash takes longer to decide.
“I would like a burger, no onions, extra cheese, fries, and a large soda.” Dash says finally. The waitress just chuckles to herself.
“Would you like a mint sweetheart?” she asked. Before you can answer Dash answers for you.
“Yes he would,” She turns to you, “I am not kissing you with onion breath.”
“I will be out with y'alls order.” The waitress said as she walk away chuckling to herself. You take one of the coloring pages for the kids and start to draw.
“So I assume that you two go back?” Dash asked.
“Yeah, there's a small room that she lets me use when I get kicked out of my house.” you reply, focused on your drawing.
“Did you get kicked out often?” Dash asked.
“Um, yeah. Yeah I did.” you say as you start to color the picture with a nice light blue color. Dash is silent for a till the waitress bring out the food.
“Ah thank you.” she says.
“Well, she is much more polite than the last one. I’m happy to say I approve.” the waitress say with a smile as she hands you a straw.
“Thanks.” you say and the waitress left. You start to eat on your fries and you continue to color your picture, switching between all colors.
“This is probably the best burger I have ever eaten.” Dash says though a mouthful of food, making you laugh.
“Yeah its pretty good.” You say and you take the first bite of your burger, the onions are the first thing that you taste, sweet yet with a touch of bitter. Then come the onslaught of flavors that only Chef the chef could accomplish. Dash quickly wolfs down her burger and instantly regrets doing so, the first time you had one of Chef's burgers you did the same thing and you can relate to Dash's look of disappointment. You cut your burger in half and give it to her, she just looks at you like a child on Christmas. She takes her time on her half. You finish your half of the burger, and go back to eating your fries and coloring your picture.
“What's your father like?” Dash asks out of the blue.
“Um, well he's well kept I guess. Really high standards. Owner of a huge company. Why?” you ask.
“No, I mean what is he like to you?” she asks.
“Oh.” you say with a sudden sadness. “Well, he's very expectant, hard to please. I could always tell that he never really liked me. Hell, one time he came home after an office party, drunk off his ass, he told me I was a disappointment. Confirmed it in the morning.”
“That's horrible, why would he be disappointed in a great flier like you?” Dash asked
“Because I can fly.” you say. The look from Dash said that she didn't understand, you really didn't want to explain but you feel compelled to do so. “Everybody in my family, both my mothers side and my fathers side, only gave birth to those who could preform magic. Well I was the first one with wings ever. The only reason I have wings is because the very first male that started the line had wings. The gene stayed dormant for hundreds of years till now. That's why my father hates me.” you sit back and take a deep drink from your soda.
You two finish you meal in silence and the waitress comes back and hands you a check and a mint. You quickly pay the check and pop the mint in your mouth. You fold up the picture and together you and Dash step out in the busy streets of Manehatten.
“So what now?” Dash asked.
“Wanna torment my friends at work?” You ask.
“Sure!” Dash exclaims and together they both of you take off to the book store that Speedy works at.
It takes you a few minutes but eventually you find the book store.
“Hey, Speedy.” You say as you walk in the store and spot him at the check out desk. The life looked like it was getting sucked out of him.
“Hey.” he said in a deadpan voice.
“We're going to hang out here for a couple of hours, k?” You ask. Speedy just nods. You and Dash escape to the comics section.
“Something's been bothering me ever since we left the diner.” Dash says looking through the shelves.
“Oh? And what's that?” you ask.
“What did you draw?” She asks. You take out the picture and hand it to Dash. She opens it in bewilderment. “Me as a pony?” She asked.
“Yeah, it seemed to fit you, no offence.” You say, earning a kiss on the cheek.
“That is very sweet.” She says as she goes back to the comics.
