//------------------------------// // On the road again.. // Story: It's just a little drizzle // by Mem //------------------------------// On the Road Again.. Candy apples~, sugar pops~, Pinkie Pie will never stop! Pegasi~, unicorns~, they both love that earth pony ~~rn! Talk about me~, I’m obscean~, but I’m a wonderbolt’s dream! Rainbows coming from my tail~, you wanna race me? I don't care! The little blue ball of energy sang as her tail repetatlly smacked the cow pony's flank. The settler pony had busied himself by mapping out the passing midnight terrain of the darken desert. His hat rested just above his eyes as his face gradually returned to it's golden hue. The rest of the cart was preoccupied with a mare and her colt, who both had long since fallen asleep. Appleossa~,Soarin's dream~, Brae's so sweet cause he licked me clean! A yellow hoof gently taped the Pegasus's nose, causing her to release a fit of giggles. It repeated the action on her stomach, that making her giggles turn to full blown guffaws that nearly woke the young colt. Braeburn ceased in his prodding of her being, causing Rainbow to sequel out in protest. "No. Now you need ta rest that cider off lil gal." 'And ta stop singin that consarnet song!' The blue ball of energy crossed her for-legs over her chest in a mock pout. He scooped her up as gently as possible, laid on his side, and placed her on top of his cutie mark. She shakily got up onto her hooves, and stared at the larger in confusion to see a smile. "Tell ya what then sweetheart, if you can fly from there," His hoof pointed to the spot she sat on, then came towards the empty area under his neck. " Ta here, I'll even sing with ya. If not, it's nap time, capece?" His response was met by a fitful of giggles and hiccoughs. "Didn AJ tell you? I'm the *Hic* best flier in the WROLD!" "Then prove it Miss smash." Rainbow gave a huff of air, and shot two feet up into the air, leavening her signature trail. She started to tilt for a few secnds, before soaring away and doing a tight loop that hovered a few inches from the earth pony's head. She stopped as soon as she had began, leaving the trail to pass through her in a smoke-like blanket. Her wings closed and she began to fall at a terrify rate. Then at the last minute, she had propelled herself upwards, and circled back and dropped to her hooves right in the spot where the cow pony had said, the space under Braeburn's neck. "Told ya so!" Her legs were wobbling at a good pace, her head bobbing up and down,eyes fluttering open and close, wing tips tilting and flapping, and a blushing smile. She stared up at the earth pony, trying to see some kind of type indication that would boost her ego again. However, she was confused to see the pony, the one who always wore his emotions on his sleeves, wearing a blank half eyed face. She was suddenly encompassed in two fluffy walls of yellow fur, her wings being effectively pinned to her body by the plush, and a furred, warm cheek that kept her from struggling. "Ah guess ya did." "What ar-" She was interrupted by a low humming that vibrated through out her form, almost like a purring cat. "Let ME- le-let meh-" The warmth of the colt's fur, the vibrating lullaby, the soft fur, and the tiring exercise she had done before, was making her eyelids heavy as an Ursa Major. She tried struggling, but the Appleloosian continued his wordless lullaby and cuddled more into the small Pegasus. Braeburn smiled as he felt the Pegasus shove he way deeper into his fur and stop her little struggles. Even that small, he could hear the light snores. 'Now that's when she's under the barrel.' A grimace graced his feature, not noticing that the Pegasus had rolled over in his forelegs, ' and if she's like this, what bout when she's hungover?'
