The Musical Giant
Chapter 2: Midwest Click Arises
The alarm had a far different effect on my head from the last time it went off. Huge throbs rolled through my brain as I attempted to sit up. I soon regretted the action as I held my head to try and reduce the immense pain I felt.
As I did my best to reduce my own struggles I heard a groan coming from down the hall. As if on cue Vinyl stumbled into my room and collapsed next to me. She also held her head in agony.
"I swear to never drink that much again." The white unicorn moaned into her pillow.
"I might never drink PERIOD!" Her eyes darted towards mine.
"Now now, you just don't know how to control yourself, and apparently neither do I..." I wanted to laugh but my hangover told me otherwise so I simply tried to smile at her.
We laid there for a few more minutes in silence before I decided it was time to take a shower. I patted her shoulder as I stood up and trudged down the hall into the bathroom. The cool water splashed onto my tired face and was able to somewhat clear my head of the wretched headaches.
Once my body was clean I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist as I proceeded to walk to my room. Once I put on my other set of clothes I walked downstairs to find that Vinyl had also gotten cleaned up. God she was so adorable! Her blue main flowed back So naturally you would just have to wonder how she styles it so easily.
"Mornin' Scratch, what do we have planned today?"
"Good morning to you too. Well, since we kind of partied the last two days I guess we really need to get to work! I think the best way to introduce you is through a few singles and live appearances, then we can declare our group name!"
After a little thought I replied, "Sounds good to me, got any songs planned?"
"Well, I was thinking the best thing to do was have you be the main act for the singles... That way people will notice you better than as only a featured artist." "So you want me to make a song first? I'm sure I can think of some. Is it alright if I kind use some of my old music?"
"I don't see why not, it's not like anypony here would has heard it before." We both laughed as I thought of what song would be best for my debut.
Part of me wanted to sing "Mama Nem" but I decided to save that for friends only. But then another thought came across my mind...
"Okay, I have this song I came up with a long time ago but could never find the right beat for it, if you can get me the beat I can do the rest.
I gave her a reassuring hug before running into the recording studio. Vinyl walked in a short time afterwards and started helping me set up the music for the track. Her eyes showed a little worry that I would be disappointed but a simple pat on the back told her that I trusted her to do what she wanted to do and it would be fine. We started the music and waited to let the beats flow through our bodies like water between cracks in a rock...
He's a mental giant, (that's what they say)
He's a mental giant (to those whom nay say)
oh..oh..oh..
hey! hey!
Hey! I'm lookin' down on you niggaz
Even though i'm 5'8″ & 195 pound on you niggaz
So tall I can't even hear any of the sound you deliver
Me and my partners never see any of the hateful frowning you give us
Cuz' we smile at the bitty braggin' wack rapper's
Who happen to be the best at the gat master
But down to the simple fact here's a strap past ya ta blast at ya
That after, the gap put him in the casket, last chapta, that's laughter
Half past move fast? imagine a black dracula
Smashin' 'em with a gat to bust atcha
It went to my head as my first time
To be cocky, i'm just a giant when I burst ryme
My leg is humongous, is ya'll's verse mine?
Step on the mic I can't stop my leg like Robert Cline
Giant robot make u feel very low shame
I am so hot in my skills there be propane
Why i'm gonna squash 'em and kill every poor thang?
Cuz i'm a huge …pillberry dough man
He's a mental giant (Basssnake!)

Oh..oh..oh..
Hey! hey!
Narcissistic, hard to grip it,
Dark and wicked, arts prolific,
Mars with the stars, this is far lifted
Lyrics quit the bar with it, bar scriptures are terrific
Getta spitta witta bit of bitter marketing'
Wit skrilla then a fifth of henny liquor, start to twist it
Critics sit and shiver
In the slit of zillas
Pit of killas grittas hittas
Click of silly niggas are ficticous
On top of the game, I'm droppin the rain
Godly gifted, hop in your lane and stoppin your fame
Bark is vicous, You got bars to witness
Yall submissive, When I get your brain your thoughts is shifted
I'm incredible, highly technical nympho triumph, raw intricate
I need medical then more science, scar's n stitches
Alphabetical gems blow by him, pause it a bit
Basssnake a mental giant!
He's a mental giant (Basssnake!)

Gotta fat dome that'll last long if that's where i'm skill't
Giant, huge, humungous, gigantic, expanded
Been floatin' for years and I ain't landed
Haters can't stand it the way that my noggi as big as kansas
But the women that listnin' wanna know if I be talkin' bout my damn dick

I walked out of the recording room as the song wore down into silence. The white pony span around in her chair before stopping to look me in the eye.
"That song was so... fast..." I shuffled my feet before saying anything.
"Sorry if it's too fast, my friends seemed to like quick singers."
"Oh no! I didn't mean it in a bad way! I just never knew someone could sing so quickly without help from a machine!" that brought a smirk to my face.
"So how do you plan to produce this into enough copies for us to sell?" She gave me a look that hinted on the edge of insulted.
"Have you forgotten who I am? I am THE PON-3! I've been producing my own music from the very beginning! Just leave everything to me. I'll handle all production work." and that is exactly what she did! Within days our single was playing on almost every radio and cd player in town. =
Vinyl walked into the kitchen one morning and found me reading an article that was talking about how our single had exploded onto the scene with literally no announcements or advertising.
"Amazing isn't it? Even though there aren't many musicians here, everypony enjoys listening to it every once and awhile."
"Yeah, but you helped me A LOT in making it happen. Back in my own world I could only dream about releasing any music to the public. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me." I reached out an arm and pulled Vinyl in for a hug and ruffled her hair.
Laughter could be heard coming from her as she started to hug me back.
"Well your welcome, how about we go out today and I can show you the club I work at?"
"I like the sound of that!" Her gentle smile turned into a smirk as she replied.
"Good, because I want you to perform live so some ponies can get to know you and spread word about our group!" I almost literally jumped out of my seat after hearing what Vinyl had said.
"I haven't performed live in a long time but I can't wait to try it again!" We both finished our breakfast before I led her out the door and waited for Vinyl to take the lead.
The club had a cool ambience to it, both figuratively and literally. My face was hit with a soft gust of air that contradicted the hot climate outside. Vinyl led me through the various bar tables and booths to the bar itself.
"Oh Mr. Flow, guess who's back!" I took a seat at the bar while Vinyl walked around the counter and through a door in the back. I heard a faint yell of surprise come from the back room.
"Vinyl Scratch! It's been awhile since I saw your pretty face!" Vinyl walked out of the back room, but this time she was accompanied by an aged stallion. He had a mainly grey coat with white spots dotting his body. His mane was short and gray which also showed his age.
"Mr. Flow, this here is my new partner Jeremy, we were hoping we could perform later tonight?" He looked me over before greeting me. Once he thought I was alright he leaned on the bar and shook my hand.
"Pleaseure to meet ya, name's Smooth Flow. I run this establishment and I've heard your song, good stuff there."
"Thanks Mr. Flow, I hope I can impress you even more tonight." That earned me a chuckle before he continued.
"I'm sure you will, but this place doesn't get busy until night time, so you two should go on and enjoy your day and come on by later."
"Sure thing Mr. Flow, we'll be by later tonight!" They both hugged before we strolled out of the building with smiles on our faces.
It wasn't even noon yet so we had plenty of time on our hands.
"Is there anywhere you would like to go? I don't really know my way around yet..." The white unicorn rubbed her chin in thought.
"Well, we could visit one of my friends who lives near town square, she's a little hyper though and likes to get into trouble."
"I'm sure I can handle anything they can throw at me, let's go!" Her eyes gave me an amused look before she started walking towards a large builiding. From the looks of the outside I had to guess that this was the library.
"What kind of trouble maker would live in a house like this?"
"Well she doesn't LIVE here exactly, but she comes by enough times to make you think she did." I just shrugged of the confusion and knocked on the door. A blue blur caused me to stumble backwards as Vinyl suddenly ended up on her back with a baby blue pegasus laying on top of her.
"Oww... sorry Vinyl, guess I got carried away again with my flying." Before either of us could say anything another pony walked outside and ran over to Vinyl and me.
"Rainbow Dash! This is why I tell you to not fly around in the house! Sorry Vinyl, are you ok?" A small groan escaped as she slowly stood back up.
"Don't worry, I just had the wind knocked out of me." The blue pony called Rainbow Dash lowered her head. It was obvious where her name came from as her mane and tail held every color in the rainbow. Even her cutie mark was that of a rainbow among clouds.
"Anyways, why don't you come in? I'd love for you to introduce this interesting specimen." Specimen? I wasn't sure yet but I felt this pony liked her research.
"Thanks Twilight, I'll introduce him once we're inside." The entire group walked into a large room lined with tall shelves packed with books. I tried to get a closer look at what books she had but the titles alone looked like gibberish to me.
We soon reached a clearing in the shelves where a large sitting area sat in front of a large window overlooking the town. I took a seat next to Vinyl on a light purple loveseat while the other two each sat in a chair of the the same colors. Vinyl cleared her throat before speaking.
"Well you guys, this is Jeremy Lockwood. He's a human from the planet Earth. He's here to help me bring more music to Ponyville!" Both of their eyes went wide when Vinyl introduced me.
"Oh my gosh! I never thought I would be able to meet an actual human before! My name's Twilight Sparkle and it's an honor to meet you!" The purple unicorn quickly grabbed my hand and shook it till it felt like she might dislocate it.
"Nice to meet you to, how do you know what humans are?" The blue pegasus jumped in front of Twilight before she could answer.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fasted pegasus on this planet and any other! Nice to meet you!" Instead of the usual handshake, I received a somewhat friendly smack on the back that almost made me fall forward.
Twilight shrugged before continuing, "As I was saying... I'm the apprentice of Princess Celestia. She has been teaching me about alternate worlds and the inhabitants of those worlds."
I was cuaght off guard slightly when I heard she was the apprentice of this world's ruler.
"Impressive, I might be willing to answer any questions you have later..." Her eyes lit up and she started bouncing in her seat.
"Please do! I would do anything to get the chance of studying a human being first hand!" Deciding to mess with her a little I looked away as if in deep thought.
"Hmm... say pwetty pwease." The look on her face almost made me lose my cool right there.
"P-pwetty pwease..."
"With an apple on top?" Pure frustration was clearly growing on her face.
"W-with an apple on top..."
"Good girl!" I ruffled her hair and sat back down next to Vinyl. Rainbow Dash smirked at Twilight who just glared back.
"You really know how to make the ladies do what you want Jeremy." She gave me a wink that helped my pride a little. We all broke out in laughter which lasted for a few minutes before Twilight stood up and went to get something to drink.
I decided to follow her so we could get to know each other privately. I found her pouring a glass a lemonade from a large glass pitcher. I noticed that her mane had a rather unique flow to it. Unlike every other pony who had some type of curls or spike like looks, her mane was straight black with a few highlights and it was straightened.
Something about that hair hypnotized me, but I'm wasn't sure what it was.
"Are you going to stare at me all day or did you come here to say something." That scared the hell out of me!
"Oh uh, I just wanted to apologize for messing with you so much." She turned around and gave me a sly smile.
"If you really feel sorry you'll come see me tomorrow and answer all of my questions." At least she wasn't mad so that was a plus.
"I suppose I'm free tomorrow. I can come by around noon if you want."
"Sounds like a plan." We hugged each other before heading back to Vinyl and Rainbow.
"What were you two talking about all alone?" Rainbow winked at Twilight which caused her to blush lightly. I figured it would be a good time to explain our plans.
"Well I guess we were just planning when I could come in and answer any questions she has for me. Speaking of which, would you want to come here with me Vinyl?" Vinyl's ears drooped down which told me my answer already.
"I'm sorry Jeremy, but I have a meeting with the company who creates the CD's for our music. I'll have to leave early and I won't be back till around 3:00 PM." Her eyes began to moisten so I wrapped my arm around her neck and pulled her close.
"Well, how about after you get home we go for a walk through town?" It seemed to have worked as she lifted her head up again with a look of pure joy.
"Sure thing! I'd love to go on a walk with you!" Both Rainbow and Twilight let out an 'ooooohhh' which made both of our cheeks go red.
"That aside, would you two want to come with us to the club? Jeremy here is having his debut appearance tonight!" Rainbow Dash started jumping around the room with anticipation.
"Come on Twilight! We haven't gone to the club in so long! Pleeeassee!" It was obvious from the look on Twilight's face she wasn't a very social pony. But a few more minutes of begging and she finally gave in.
"Oh alright, I suppose we can go this time since it's a special night." We all shouted hooray and gave Twilight a group hug. She was definitely caught by surprise for she fell back in her chair and we all collapse in a big laughing pile.
"Alright everyone, if we want to make it on time I suggest we go now!" While still giggling, we each got off one by one and then I pulled Twilight to her feet. We waited for Twilight to lock up the library and she yelled at a window on the top floor.
"I'll be back soon Spike! Make sure no strangers come inside!" I heard a faint "Yes Ma'am!" in reply. I didn't know who Spike was but I'm sure I would find out tomorrow.
We spent the walk over making small conversation until we entered the bar. Mr. Flow wasn't kidding when he said the bar gets crowded at night.
"Hey Vinyl, what day is it?"
"Saturday." That pretty much explained it. Rainbow and Twilight walked over to a booth when Mr. Flow saw us and brought us backstage.
"So are you guys ready to go?"
"Ready as we'll ever be!"
"So can you guys tell me what so g you'll play?" We looked at each other before responding.
"We were just thinking of freestyling tonight. Is that alright Mr. Flow?" He just laughed and walked up to the DJ platform.
"Mares and Stallions! Are you ready for a good night?" Cheers rang throughout the entire building.
"Well that's good, because we have the one and only PON-3 and her new partner Basssnake!" More cheers roared into my ears. It felt incredible getting ready to go on stage again!
Vinyl went out first and warmed the crowd up with a dance track that had just the right amount of bass to dance to. I peeked at the crowd to see what kind of ponies there were. Most of them were fillies with their manes colored with neon and patterns painted on their bodies.
I also saw a few stallions dancing with their marefriends. It didn't take me long to find Rainbow Dash and Twilight dancing together at the front of the stage. Twilight looked pretty drunk already but they were dancing rather close even for that... Either way I could hardly wait to get on stage!
Once her song was finished I waited for the beat to start up again before walking onto the stage. I had a swagger in my step which drew even more cheers that fueled my adrenaline. I waited again for the beat to start up before I began the song.
When I walk in the club
The people show me love
They say what's up
I say what's up
We say what's up, what's up
I get looks from the ladies,
Gaps from the dudes
I'm dressed like it's the 80's
No lenses checkered shoes
I got a drink in my hand
You know my favorite one
It's red bull and vodka
And nigga, I'm faded as fuck
And then I get those call
From my favorite hizzo
She screaming "Where the fuck you at?"
Baby girl I'm at the disco
I don't wanna be
What you want me to be
I don't wanna do
What you want me to do
Unless it's you baby
Cause that's all I want
So come back stop messin' with my head
She was my summer love
Then it got serious
She moved back to her momma's
And got delirious
She went back with her ex
Kept me a secret
Then gets mad at me
When I go to the club and freak it
I don't know baby girl
What you talkin' 'bout
I'm dancing with her bud
You got his dick in your mouth
I ain't no side dish
I'm the main course
I ain't your side bitch
Better decide bitch
Before I find another
I'm a say this one more time
Before good-bye my lover
I don't wanna be
What you want me to be
And I don't wanna do
What you want me to do
Unless it's you baby
Cause that's all I want
So come back stop messing with my head
Eh, uh oh, put your hands up, put your hands up
Put your hands up, put your hands up, Sky Blu
I got this girl
She be my baby
She is my world
And drives me crazy
This ain't how it's supposed to be
I feel like you're trying to take control of me
I'm a man, but I can't glance at these
I can't grow my trees, I can't smoke my weed
Hey, that's how I roll
To the show then off to the club I go
You act like when I my hoe
Girl, I'm trying to superman the ho
I do like I do baby, that's how I do, baby
Me and my nigger RedFoo, baby
She said, "you crazy"
Cause I don't wanna be
What you want me to be
I don't wanna do
What you want me to do...
The music turned off as soon as the last line escaped my mouth. The stage almost collapsed when the entire crowd climbed up and started dancing to a playlist that Vinyl had put on shuffle. I glanced over at Twilight and Rainbow Dash again to find a very shocking image. The two of the were kissing! Their drunkenness showed through like a light in the dark but there was still something about the kiss that looked sincere.
It took a few moments but I was finally able to shake it off when I was pounced on by Vinyl. I wasn't sure but I think she stage dived off her turntable to get to me. I was lucky these ponies weighed less than the horses in my world or I wouldn't have survived that experience! We quickly got up and started dancing together ourselves. For ponies they had some pretty interesting moves!
One stallion was actually able to do a flip after a 360 headspin! Everyone one cheered as he stuck the landing and I walked into the center of the circle that was forming on the stage. I waited a few seconds and sure enough an amazingly good dubstep beat started playing as I started moving my hands and feet to the fast beat.
The ponies watched in awe as I too did a headspin but a 720 instead. I almost fell when I tried to land but the girls (my girls) cheered for me when I was able to stand. I bowed and started shuffling towards Vinyl.
We danced together for another hour or so but Twilight started to get sick so we were forced to walk her home so she could rest. Rainbow Dash could still walk but needed help from Vinyl while I drug Violet on my back.
"Sorry you guys have to do this, I guess Twi' and I overdid it again." She couldn't stop giggling as she spoke which made me roll my eyes at her. Twilight could only mumble as she was practically asleep on my back.
"As long as you two don't get TOO sick we're fine with it, right Jeremy. I nodded in agreement which made Rainbow smile. The blue Pegasus was able to drag Twilight inside and waved goodnight before closing the door behind her.
"I never would have guessed that Twilight was practically a party rocker!" The look on her face told me she had no idea what that was.
"It's someone or someone who drinks and just focuses on having a good time."
"Oooh that makes sense then, she only gets social when she drinks. Well, she does talk to Rainbow Dash a lot..."
"I've been wondering about that. Are they together or something?" Vinyl had to think for a second so I guessed it was complicated.
"Well, it's pretty well known to almost everyone that Rainbow likes Twilight, but Twilight is too anti social to realize it!" I never did like these situations when I saw them on TV and now I have one between my friends!
"Well, we might have to do something about that later on..."
"Would you really do that for somepony you just met?"
"Of course! Even if we just met today I consider them my friends so I'll help them in any way I can." She smiled at me softly when I spoke.
"That's proof that you are a really nice guy."
"I'm not so sure of that, I've done my fair share of selfish things." Disbelief could be heard in her tone.
"I'm sure you were, but since you got here you've done nothing but spend time with me and I think that's special."
"Well, if you hadn't taken me in I might just be walking around lost like a mouse in a maze. If anyone is nice it's you."
"Let's just agree we're both good Uh, 'friends'." We both laughed as we soon reached the front doorsteps. "Well, I suppose we should go to bed since you have that meeting tomorrow..."
"Aww, can't we stay up a little more." She gave me a full fledged puppy doggy face that would melt any heart. Lucky for her I kind of wanted to stay up later anyways since neither of us had alcohol. (Surprising huh?)
"Oh alright, what do you want to do?" "Well, we could watch a movie if you like." A movie from this world? This I HAD to see! "Sure, I'll watch anything you want." I stifled a laugh as I thought of what it might look like.
My imagination was dead wrong. Vinyl had chosen a filly-flick and it started out kind of cute like I had thought. But then the story hit me like a truck as my eyes began to moisten.
Vinyl curled up into a loose ball and laid her head on my shoulder. Eyes shined brightly against the light of the television screen.
'Those eyes are incredible, how unique can you get?'
The movie ended with the usual kissing scene and I slowly stood up and stretched my back before turning the TV off.
"Ok Vinyl time for bed now."
"Mmh... Can you carry me?"
"Ugh I suppose..." When I said she was light before I meant it, these ponies must be filled with air for them to be this easy to carry. I held her like a child as I walked into her room. Posters of DJ's from cities I had never heard of covered her walls and mirror. Now that I think about it how old is Vinyl?
(A/N: I'm just going with them having the same lifespan as humans.) I gently pulled the covers off and placed her on top of the large bed with a blue swirl design. I tucked her in and started to leave until she grabbed my hand. "Is something wrong Vinyl?" She looked away before saying anything, her face had a small blush.
"W-well, I was hoping you could sleep with me tonight? I get lonely at night sometimes..." I smiled lightly and walked to the bed again. She scooted over and gave me room to get in. "Is this better?" "Not quite..." The next thing I knew Vinyl had her arms around my waist and started cuddling me. "Now it's better." I tried to say something but she was already fast asleep in my arms. I just sighed since the warmth of her body was lulling me to sleep as well... "Good night Vinyl..."
Sunday, 9:00 AM
I awoke in Vinyl's bed with empty arms. A note laid beside me that was most likely from Vinyl.
"Dear Jeremy,
Went to meeting... Left you some apple pancakes in the fridge! I'll be back by around 3 or 4 o'clock.
Vinyl Scratch
P.S.- Twilight called to remind you about visiting her. So you make sure to hurry over there!"
I almost forgot about the meeting! I quickly slipped back into my clothes while grabbing the food from the fridge. Once I was outside my pace had slowed to a nice walk since I was halfway to her library.
My stomach started to growl so I decided to try the pancakes Vinyl had made. They probably would have tasted better warm but I still enjoyed the moist sweetness of the pleasant treat. She really wasn't a bad cook at all.
The journey continued once the paper plate was thrown away. It only took a few minutes to walk the rest of the way. I calmly walked up the front stairs and knocked on the large wooden doors. About a minute passed with no reply so I knocked again. A crash could be heard from within and I heard Twilight yelling.
"Just a minute! I'll be right there!" I smirked and waited until one of the double doors swung open. Twilight's face looked like she had just run a mile but her hair and eyes looked amazing. "Jeremy! I wasn't expecting you for another hour!"
"An hour? I thought I was going to be late! I guess I ran faster than I thought." Both of us laughed and Twilight invited me into her home.
"Well, I'm happy you came over early since now we have more time to talk!" I smiled again at her excited face. Her eyes sparkled with a fire of learning that I rarely saw at my high school on Earth. I knew that the world was not as awful a place as I thought. So I had to consider what other places in the world would be like instead of telling of my view. The two of us sat down on the same couch I had sat on last night. Twilight crossed her hindlegs and sat back in her seat.
"Well what do you want to know? I don't know what help I might be but I'll sure try." She rubbed her chin with her hoof to show her thought and soon gave me the first question.
"Well, since you're a musician can you tell me about the arts of your world?" I figured she would ask that.
"Hmm, our art style is rather the same hen it comes to material based like painting and sculpting. Though ours involve humans of course." She smiled at that and motioned for me to continue.
"Music on the other hand has a long history of changing styles and genres. That I'm not sure has been seen in this world. I don't know a lot about certain areas but the entire idea of entertainment changed when a single instrument. That instrument was the guitar..." I then proceeded to explain the history of modern music to the best of my knowledge.
I even offered to lend her some CD's which she graciously accepted. The questions kept coming for about an hour. I told her of the basic anatomy, our other forms of history, government, and even food. A look of slight disgust could be seen when I mentioned eating meat.
"I'm not sure I could ever eat that stuff." I laughed before explaining.
"Just like how your stomachs would have trouble eating meat and such, humans' stomachs have a hard time digesting hay and grass. But there is one food we have in common..."
"What is that?" She tilted her head in wonder.
"Apples!" I grabbed one from a bowl that was sitting on a nearby end table and took a bite.
"They're one of our most popular fruits."
"Of course! Apples have a strong enough texture for ponies to digest but a soft enough flesh for humans! Its great that there are so many things that our worlds have in common!" I heard a rumble coming from Twilight's direction.
She immediately covered her stomach to muffle the sounds. I laughed lightly and offered her some of my apple. "Care to have a bite?" "Oh I couldn't!" "Come on, we're friends aren't we?" She blushed deeply while leaning over to take a bite. Once she took a bite I tossed her the rest of the apple.
"If you were going to give it to me anyways why did you make me go through that?"
"I just like to play with you." I broke in laughter when she started to pout.
I soon calmed down by taking a big breath.
"Now... I have some questions to ask as well..."
"Sure thing what do you want to know about ponies?"
"Well, I don't really mean all ponies..."
I took another breath before continuing, "I want to know about you and Rainbow Dash." Twilight instantly started to fidget and broke eye contact with me.
"W-what about us?"
"Well, I saw you two in the club last night..."
"Well that was just because we were drunk! Alcohol makes you do crazy things right?" She laughed nervously and tried a smile.
"So you don't have feelings for Rainbow Dash?" A minute passed before she finally answered.
"Well, I'm not sure... I like her sure but I don't know if it's more or not." I nodded to show that I understood what she felt.
"Do you feel that you could tell her anything?"
"Of course!"
"How much would you miss having her beside you?"
"I would never be the same again..."
"Hmm, do you ever dream about her?"
"Almost every night..." I let out an amused grunt before continuing.
"That's love from what I can tell, and Rainbow cares for you a lot too. I think you should give her a chance to show you what she can do to change your life and if you still doubt what I said... You should still give her a shot. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn to love her more."
Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes. Then came the sobbing and the eventual crying. I moved closer and wrapped my arms around her and brushed her mane with my hand.
"There there, what is there to cry about?" She spoke between light sobs and coughs.
"I... I'm just so... happy... that I can finally... let out my feelings to someone." I had a soft smile on my face when she said that.
"Don't worry... Whenever you want to talk I'll be right there to give you any help you need. We're friends right?"
"R-right, even though we just met... you've already changed my life. I can never repay you for how much you have just helped me..."
"The best way for you to repay me is to be happy and tell me anything you need to talk about. I care about all my friends but I can make time for you."
"T-thank you..." I pulled her in for another hug. We sat there for a long time without saying anything. I would brush her mane occasionally which made her sigh happily. I glanced at the clock which read 3:00 PM.
