Sliding under the covers of her bed, Pinkie Pie looked next to her. A deep sigh escaped her lips, seeing that she was completely alone, she pulled the covers up to her chin. After spending a whole evening with Rainbow, a small smile crawled on her lips. Every time she discovered something new about her athletic friend her chest was filled with a ticklish warmth. Pinkie Pie reminisced her day that she had spent with Rainbow Dash before succumbing to sleep’s tug on her.
Moose pulled Rainbow along as they walked the streets of Canterlot County. Walking by the warmly lit shops with Rainbow around his arm was a very tranquil experience. Having no plans was invigorating as they just drifted along the streets. As they walked they stopped in front of the local movie theater. Rainbow perked up when she saw a cardboard cutout of Princess Sunlight Butterfly from the Power Princess franchise. Moose took notice Rainbow’s empty stare.
“I take it you are a Power Princess fan?” asked Moose.
Alarmed by the broken silence Rainbow nearly jumped. “NO! I’m not a fan of Princess Sunlight Butterfly! That’s ridiculous!” shouted Rainbow.
“I didn’t say her name was Sunlight Butterfly?”
Realizing her mistake her cheeks were now crimson, Moose chuckled.
“There no shame in liking Power Princess Rainbow. I’m particularly fond of the comics myself.”
Rainbow was taken aback by his statement “But you’re a dude, aren’t you suppose to like sports and junk?”
Moose tighten his grip on Rainbow’s arm. “I find social serotypes to be tiring and not very accurate. If we are going by social serotypes then you wouldn’t be a Power Princess fan either.”
“Huh, I never thought of that? You know you are really philosophical when your not acting like a goof.”
“You have discovered my secret! Now I have to kill you!” said Moose in a gravely voice.
He then lightly tickled her for a few moments while Rainbow’s laughter echoed through the street. Clearing his throat, Moose straightened the collar on his jacket.
“Let’s go see it together!” Said Moose in a cheery tone.
“Sure, if you don’t mind all of the glitter and rainbows.” Rainbow’s voice tone was coated in playful sarcasm.
“Well, good thing I like Rainbows.” chuckled Moose as he ruffled her hair.
“I’ll go get our tickets.”
“Yeah sure.” squeaked Rainbow, her face was redder than apple.
The two of them walked into the theater with tickets in hand. The theater was like a ghost town on account of it being a Thursday night. The movie itself was almost a mirror image of the early comics. The setup was like any other action, adventure, comedy movie. The hero overcoming many obstacles and defeating the villain in the end. Even though the story was predictable it was the clever writing and animation that set it apart.
During most of the movie Rainbow was on the edge of her seat. The sight brought a small smile to Moose’s lips. The childlike wonder on Rainbow’s face was adorable. On a subconscious level Moose put his arm around Rainbow at some point. The action baffled him he didn’t even remember doing it. He didn’t have time to dwell on it, Rainbow stirred once the credits started scrolling up the screen. As they were leaving the theater the sun had gone down. Looking at his phone Moose realized that it was almost midnight.
“That movie was AWESOME!” Shouted Rainbow while fist pumping in the air.
A sly smile crawled on his lips. “I found it quite enjoyable.” His tone was dry with a hint of amusement.
Rainbow punched him in the shoulder. “Oh come on, you loved it!”
His laughter filled the night air. “Alright, I loved it.”
“Ha! I knew it!” said a satisfied Rainbow.
On the way back to Rainbow’s home, he purchased Rainbow a red rose. With slightly pink cheeks she accepted the fragile gift. Once they reached the front door. Rainbow pulled out her key, unlocking the door she turned to face him. He noticed a drastic change in her demeanor. Her eyes were almost glaze over. Her body language felt almost needy. Before he ask her what was wrong Rainbow pulled him to her lips.
He felt himself being pulled in deeper into the kiss that they shared. A small part of him was frightened by Rainbow. The feeling was quickly buried deep under a strong feeling of pure pleasure. Before he knew it he responded back to her lips; time was soon lost on him as he wrapped his arms around Rainbow. When she pulled away from him, a small hole started form in his heart. Rainbow’s eyes sparkled with a catty satisfaction.
“I love you Moose…”
Alarmed Pinkie Pie awoke with a start, her body was covered in a cool layer of sweat. Once her heart stopped pounding in her chest; she grabbed a towel and headed to the nearest bathroom. Pinkie Pie turned on the shower, she stripped out of her soaked pajamas. She waited for the hot water to kick in before stepping into the warm stream. Pinkie ran her hand through her short pink hair. Allowing the water to soak deep her pink locks. Trying her hardest to process what just happened. She sank down to the floor of the small shower. Pulling her knees to her chin as the constant stream of water rained down on her.
* What was with that dream? I know last night I took Rainbow to the movies, I bought her a yellow rose then I walked her home. It was just normal day…Why was the rose red?….Why did I dream about kissing her?*
The lunch bell rang throughout the school at Canterlot High. Fluttershy, Sunset and Applejack were waiting at their lunch table. Just minutes later a trio of disheveled friends stumbled into the cafeteria.
“What the heck happened ta yall?” asked Applejack.
A disgruntled Rarity squeezed in between Applejack and Sunset.
“Well I was up all night worrying about a certain someone!” Rarity glared at Pinkie Pie for a moment.
“So I didn’t get any beauty sleep!” grumbled the exhausted fashionista.
“Okay then, what happened ta you two?” Applejack pointed at Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.
Feeling drained Pinkie Pie plopped down next to Fluttershy; one word escaped from her lips.
“Nightmares…”
Rainbow took her seat next to Pinkie Pie, with a goofy smirk on her lips. Rainbow took a bite of her sandwich as she reminisced about her late night with Moose.
“Well Dash?” pestered Applejack.
“Huh? Oh you know, I was just up late last night. Time just got away from me.”
Rainbow Dash’s small grin didn’t leave her face. Applejack wasn’t satisfied with the explanation given. She was starting to think that something strange was going on. Rarity was up all night worrying about someone. Pinkie Pie was a mess and Rainbow was grinning like an imp. The only normal people were Sunset, herself and Fluttershy. Applejack was about to ask what the hell was going on. She glanced over at Rarity a chill ran down her spine as Rarity stabbed her salad with murderous intent. Pestering Rarity in this state was suicide. Asking Rainbow was out the question. Knowing that Rainbow would just get upset and storm off. That only left Pinkie Pie just as she was about to ask Pinkie if she could have a moment alone. When she noticed that her pink friend was face down on the table snoring. Feeling frustrated Applejack just picked at her lunch.
As Rainbow ate her lunch she saw that Pinkie Pie was slowly sliding off the bench while she slept. Not wanting to wake her, Rainbow Dash put her arm around Pinkie’s waist. The warm contact lulled Pinkie Pie into a deep sleep.
“Pinkamena Diane Pie what on earth are you doing?” screeched Quartz.
A stunned five year old Pinkie Pie looked back at her mother. She was sitting in the middle of the living room floor. Pinkie was surrounded by an army of small plastic green soldiers. While holding a large T-Rex in her hand, Pinkie beamed up at her mother.
“My friend Billy let me borrow some of his toys!”
“ Pinkamena what on earth are you wearing! Where did you get those clothes?” Huffed Quartz.
Pinkie Pie looked down at the small red T-shirt and blue overalls. “Billy let me borrow them.”
Feeling exasperated Quartz grabbed her daughter by the wrist and pulled Pinkie Pie into her room. The walls were a light bubblegum pink, a small white framed bed with floral bedspread was push against the wall. Quartz released her daughter’s small wrist.
“ Pinkamena how many times have I told you that your are a girl. And are not allowed to wear boy’s clothes! Young girls wear dresses and skirts they don’t go running around in pants! Do you understand!”
Pinkie Pie slowly nodded her head. “Yes mama…”
“Good, I want you to change into proper clothes and I want you to return those cloths and toys immediately.”
“Yes mama…”
