Under A Luminous Sky Prequel

Source

This story is a sequel to Under A Luminous Sky

Any stallion can tell you that asking out the mare you like is an almost impossible task. Not even Big Mac can escape the struggles of asking out that dream mare. Especially when that dream mare is no other than the one and only Rainbow Dash. How is Mac supposed to ask out the former Wonderbolt, Element of Harmony, and best friend of his sister? He has missed his chance once, will he miss it again?

This is a very late birthday gift to Jake the Army Guy. Since we are both MacDash fans, and I think he has some of the best writing out there, this is a short little prequel story to Under A Luminous Sky which is still one of my favorite stories here, and if you have not read it... you fail at life.

So happy late birthday Jake!

She could have any stallion she wanted; why would she settle for an apple farmer? He had nothing to offer her that she couldn't already get.

She likes his Big Mac.

That, plus the fact that she was at times cuter than a button, just made the large stallion fall for her, head over hooves.

No denying that.

“Oh, there ya are Mac! Ah was hopin’ you were around somewhere. Can ya go grab that barrel of cider from the back? Rainbow Dash is here and wanted ta pick it up,”

That might make things easier, but he's going to freeze up like any stallion would.

All of that courage he had just a second ago disappeared at once, and he could feel his knees already starting to shake.

Ladies have that effect.

“Ah think the only reason he gone done joined The Pony Tones was ta get a bit closer ta Rarity,”

Now he can get close to Flutters too.

“We only sold ta Filthy Rich mostly. A thousand bits a barrel.”

I guess it's a fifty-five gallon barrel: 18 bits per gallon, 2.27 bits per pint, wholesale value. If it's alcoholic(it foams, so it is), Filthy could charge up to four bits a pint without customers batting an eye, maybe five in some neighborhoods. (4.8 bits per liter wholesale, seven retail) I want to see more business between these two families.

He wanted to ask her out, but the questions of how and when were still pressing on his mind.

Ask your sister for help. OR, ask your sister to leave so you can do it now.

but how are ya goin’ ta get that thing into the air and into yer house without it fallin through?”
...
“Buck!” Rainbow finally shouted,

Not the brightest.

No so fast, sugar,” Applejack said, putting her hoof in the air. “Twilight’s place is in the middle of town, and yer place is beyond that. No sense for ya ta fly back and forth fer a spell and lugging that barrel all over. How about Mac carries it fer ya?”

Clever girl.

“The sooner we get this done the sooner we can have some of the best cider in the world!” Dash laughed as she licked her lips in anticipation.

Is that an innuendo?

“Do you know how long I’ve waited to finally get my hooves on this?” she asked. She gave her wings a mighty flap and vaulted into the air before landing on top of the barrel of cider.

Think about the pony carrying it before putting your whole weight on it. But she is a lightweight.

What was wrong with him? Why was he acting in such a way, stuttering over every other word, having second thoughts about his drive to ask her out?

She's a woman. They do that to men and don't realize it, regardless of species.

Dash shouted, letting go of Mac and doing a barrel roll.

Do an aileron roll!

“Well?! I’ve waited long enough! Tap that thing!”

Who doesn't want a woman who can bark orders?

As the barrel rolled off of him, the contents inside swishing around, Mac stretched out his back allowing it to pop and crack, relieved of its weight.

Let's see: 55 gal, at 8 lb/gal(8.32 lb/gal for water weight, rounded down for cider, water is pretty dense, cider not so much), 440 lbs, not including the barrel. That's a lot of load for a mare who orders you around. Labor of love i suppose.

Mac had to keep himself from staring at the rare sight for too long as Rainbow let her defenses down, showing that cute filly that was so rare to see.

Tsundre pony.
