The Truth That Lies Within
This story is dedicated to two of the people who have been very inspirational in helping me recognize my talents; Jaydextheshadowknight for helping me become the accomplished writer I am now, thank you so much. And By123445, for saying such kind things that has kept me going.
"Wow Dash, you're really improving!" You shouted as the multicolored blur whizzed past you.
You were doing what you enjoyed more than anything, flying with your best friend for which you cared about more than anything or anypony, Rainbow Dash. It was the usual routine, practice racing with her, but no matter how strong you were and however much endurance you could muster, she always beat you by quite a bit; the mare was extraordinarily skilled. You had actually even come to counting how many seconds you finished behind her every time, and tonight it was ten, three more than last week.
As you unsteadily crossed the line, you sat on the pearly white cloud, panting as you had tried your best. A soft, almost inaudible thud could be heard as a pegasus touched down on the same cloud, and as you looked over through the dark brown mane which was now black with sweat plastered upon your face, partly over your eyes, you saw that it was a very excited looking Rainbow Dash.
"So how'd I do? Did I really get better?" she asked, grinning.
You chuckled lightly at what she had just said, "Of course Dash, you beat me by an even larger amount than last time, I'd say that's improving, you're always extremely good, but I couldn't help but notice you seemed to have tried slightly harder than usual?" You spoke, seeing the larger than normal amount of sweat on her forehead.
You saw that Rainbow's eyes had widened at this, and she facehoofed.
"I can't believe I forgot to tell you, tomorrow we're going to have a huge race between all the pegasi in the entire Weather Patrol, three laps through and around Cloudsdale, with lots of clouds in the way to make it even harder!" she explained, taking a moment to catch her breath, before looking at you.
"Would you like to come along, perhaps to race, or even just to watch?" she asked, obvious that there wasn't a doubt in her mind you'd say yes.
You looked at her eager expression, and frowned, causing her to do so as well.
"I'm sorry Dash, but I put off my paperwork to be able to practice with and spend time with you, and if I put it off again tomorrow I'll be way too far behind, I'll never be able to catch up. I'm really sorry..." you trailed off, not being able to look at her hurt expression.
"A- are you sure? I really was looking forward to you being there." she said, sitting next to you, looking down at her hooves.
"I'm sure; this is a very demanding job, and I'd prefer to keep it, so I can be able to spend more time with you." you said sadly, wrapping your hooves around her and pulling her in for a friendly hug.
She accepted your intention, and embraced you tightly, her chin resting on your shoulder.
"I- I understand... I'm just real disappointed, you know? I still like you very much and you are one of my best friends, I don't believe you wouldn't come and support me if you didn't have all this work." she said to you with a soft smile.
You nodded your head slowly and put a chestnut colored hoof on her shoulder, and spoke reassuringly as you pulled away from the embrace.
"Good luck Dash, I know you'll win, you're the best flier I've ever seen. Enjoy yourself tomorrow, I can't wait to congratulate you on your victory!"
Rainbow blushed at this and you thought you saw a slight look of disappointment cross her features as you removed your hoof, but dismissed it as your imagination acting up in your very tired state.
"Goodnight, I'll try my best!" she said as she got shot into the sky with blinding speed.
You just smiled and stood up, your muscles still sore from racing the cyan pegasus earlier, and flew slowly to your home, not being able to wait to feel the warmth of your bed.

You had fallen asleep almost instantly, expecting to not have a dream in your exhausted state. Even when you did, it was the type that made it feel like it was actually happening, usually including having to tackle a pegasus who was dangerously goofing off or sitting at your desk doing the huge amounts of paperwork nightly, dreams that were pointless and only added to your stress from work. However, tonight was different, very different.
It had actually began with you hanging out with Rainbow Dash, at your favorite restaurant. No wait, this was different, it was, a fine dining restaurant? The expensive furniture and decorations, high class ponies sitting around you, and the beautiful cello playing of a gray earth pony with black mane and pink bow tie in the background confirmed it. This was not something Dash and you had ever done, since usually these types were for ponies who were in love. You just decided to stop worrying in your unconsciousness and continued to see what was happening, thinking your brain just decided to have pity on you and give you a break by allowing you to dream of having a good time with your best friend.
Rainbow Dash had just blushed deeply at something you had said, even though you couldn't hear what it was. Okay, so I'm flattering her, I hope this is just in a way two friends would compliment each other... you thought. An exquisite looking waiter with two silver platters arrived at your table, slowly placing them in front you and refilling the glasses of wine you hadn't taken notice of until now. Before either of you could say anything, he removed the covers of the platters, bowed and left, leaving you alone. You noticed how both of you had ordered the same thing, a colorful salad with cranberries, tomatoes, and a vast amount of other delicious looking vegetables, but you weren't looking at that, you were staring at Dash, and her... attractive features.
By now your mind was screaming at you that this was wrong, but you for some reason happily ignored it. You took a bite of your salad, the dressing making a mess on your lips, and you looked for a napkin to wipe it off, but didn't find any. Instead, Dash leaned over, smiling suggestively, saying "I can help with that..." before she did something you had never thought you and her would before. She kissed you, licking the dressing off your lips, and keeping hers locked with yours. You didn't resist, didn't try to say this wasn't right, you returned the kiss with passion. You didn't care how wrong this felt to your conscience, or that you were obviously dating her in this dream. You even went in for another kiss after taking a breath, this time much deeper. You were starting to enjoy this... The rest of the dinner included these moments, along with the feeling of complete love.
Suddenly, the date was replaced by her leading you to her house excitedly, kissing you aggressively, obviously turned on. She pulled you down on the bed and was panting, obvious to what she wanted from you. You happily obliged.
For the rest of the night, you continued to dream of this date, liking what you and her ended up doing in it, no matter how sexual or exciting. It was just a dream, right?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You awoke feeling more well rested you had been in as long as you can remember, and then you remembered why. The dreams of a stallion were very interesting sometimes... you thought to yourself with a grin.
You sighed and sat down in your work chair, which of course had to be comfortable since you quite often spent the majority of your night in it doing the paperwork to send to Princess Celestia herself. It was the weather patterns that were active, how long each one was used for, how many resources each one took to use, and the most interesting of all, if there were any new, fired, or retired workers. You shook your head, smiling as you thought of that. Usually your workers were decently behaved, but it seemed that recently, more than often they would get out of control, disobeying your orders or messing around with the clouds, such as putting them in the wrong place just to see you get mad. If they were smart they'd stop after one time, because if they did it three times, you had the joy of being able to fire them yourself; justice felt good when you delivered it. Of course Rainbow Dash was always perfectly behaved, and you even allowed her to order the others around sometimes, even though technically you weren't supposed to, that luxury was supposed to only be used by the supervisor himself, which was you.
You sometimes used to think to yourself how boring this must be for Princess Celestia, but then you realized that being in charge wasn't all fun and games. While you weren't royalty, you still were in charge of quite a few ponies, and you knew how serious you had to be at times.
Suddenly realizing how you were allowing your mind to wonder to avoid the eminent workload, you stopped, picking up your pen in your mouth, and began writing the form, hearing a group of pegasi outside excitedly talking about the race, and how they thought they'd win. They obviously forgot about Rainbow Dash... you thought with a smile. You placed the pen down on the first form you had in front of you and began writing with a sigh; this was going to be a long day of work.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You had been filling out these forms for about four hours, bored beyond belief, and had begun to be a bit annoyed at how on the day all the other members of the Weather Patrol got the day off and could race together, you were sitting inside, doing this. However, you accepted it; you had a wonderful time practicing with Dash last night, and felt the hours of time taken from today to do this work was more than worth it. The pegasi racing furiously past your window was making you envious at first, but then you gradually began to accept it, not even noticing as the race was over and the pegasi that flew past your window looked exhausted, laughing. You just assumed this was because they had such a good time with the race, but then a few minutes later you heard an unsteady knock at your door. Intrigued to who would want to see you at this part of the afternoon, you stood up, and opened the door, your heart broken by what you saw in front of you; it was Rainbow Dash, the whites of her eyes pink and tear marks under her vermilion eyes, shaking. You never saw her like this.
"Ca- can I come in?" she asked, still kind even in this state.
"Yes! Please do!" you said unsteadily, motioning her inside.
As she walked past you, you shut the door and sat on your bed, motioning for her to come over. As she did, you took one look at her, and felt hurt on the inside.
"Please Dash, I can see you've been crying. What's wrong?" You asked, worried, completely forgetting about the race she had just taken part in for now and only caring about how she was feeling.
She looked at you sadly, and spoke "I- I won... but the others.. the- they weren't so accepting... and" she stopped, fresh tears rolling down from her already moist eyes.
You placed your hooves around her shaking body, and held her close, letting her cry onto your coat. You couldn't think of what to do right now except to ask her what exactly happened.
"Dash, what happened? What did they do?" you inquired, a hint of anger in your voice for the ponies who did this.
"Well I was... I was real excited that I won and all, and was expecting them to congratulate me, but instead, some of them.." she stopped again, taking a quivering breath. "They said things like 'You're an arrogant, stuck up bitch' to me. They also told me how I must have cheated since there's no way I could... I could have been better than all of them!" she told you, sobbing hardly into your chest.
You couldn't believe what you had just heard. The ponies you were the boss of... had just insulted Rainbow to the point of making her cry. There would be jobs lost, you thought angrily.
However, for now you needed to comfort Rainbow, and you did so by holding her tightly, and running a hoof through her mane, trying to make her feel as warm as possible, and away from the cold hatred of the others.
"It's all right, I'm here, they can't say those things anymore." you spoke calmly.
"It- it wasn't all of them... but the ones who weren't, they just.. stood there!" she said, even more tears falling from her pretty eyes.
You allowed her to place her chin on your shoulder, and you ran a hoof up and down her back now as she shook, a little less violently now. You then patted her back slowly, reassuring her.
"Dash, don't listen to them, you are none of those things." you spoke in her ear as she sobbed, caressing her six-color mane gently. "You're high confidence does not make you stuck up, and you are so kind to everyone." you told her, in a hushed voice barely above a whisper.
You allowed her to lay down on your comfortable sheets, and wrapped part of the blanket around her shuddering body, along with embracing her gently again, hoping all of this warmth would help to calm her. You didn't mind that she was soaking them considerably with her tears.
"Just get it all out Dash, I'm here." you reassured her as you held her close.
She slowly looked up at you, her tears no longer flowing freely. She hugged you tightly, seeming to have lost the original amount of anger she had mixed in with the sadness, and you hugged her back, hoping what you had done was substantial in alleviating her sad emotions.
However, there was still a sense of remaining sadness in her, and you couldn't think of anything to do, to make her feel like you really cared. Hoping that this wouldn't make her feel awkward, you leaned and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, along the orange streak in her mane, causing her to temporarily tense up in your embrace.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry if that was unnecessary, I just wanted you to know I cared so much and-" you stopped as you realized she was looking up at you calmly with a sincere grin, sniffling only slightly, waiting for you to cease your rambling on.
"It- it's fine, really, I just wasn't expecting it from you." she said, sounding as if she could see right into your deepest thoughts.
"Wait... so you, didn't think it was strange?" you asked, a bit surprised.
"No, it actually made me feel much better, and cared about. I now don't need to cry any longer, but I have a serious question." she said, turning a bit red.
Oh Celestia, you knew exactly what this was going to be...
"Do you love me?" she asked. It was a simple question, and you knew exactly what she meant by it, but still felt the need to make entirely sure.
"Do- do you mean like love love? Like if I'm attracted to you?" you asked, feeling your cheeks turn crimson.
Dash simply nodded her head, looking up at you, anticipating what you were about to say with extreme interest. You were going to be entirely truthful.
"Yes, I do. I just realized it recently. You are such a beautiful mare." you revealed, extremely nervous of what her reaction would be.
"Ooooh you really think so? I mean I'm pretty sure I wouldn't compare with ponies like Rarity or Celestia..." she said, clearly trying to learn more about your feelings for her.
"Don't be silly, you are extremely pretty! Everything about you is not flawed at all. You're so athletic, confident, friendly, and persistent! And you're eyes... a stallion could get lost in them..." you spoke, spilling out everything that you had always kept inside, tucked away, ignored. This just felt so right, telling her your true feelings.
Rainbow blushed deeply, looking into your eyes, unfaltering.
"I love you too, I always have, I just wasn't sure how I'd tell you, I didn't want to lose you as a friend." she spoke, not breaking eye contact with you.
"You can't be serious, I have never been happier in my life! The perfect mare that I've been best friends with for as long as I can remember loves me back? It's unbelievable!" you exclaimed happily, not believing how she had seemed to have forgotten about how sad she just was.
"Oh, it sure is..." she spoke suggestively, before slowly closing the small space between you and her by gently pressing her lips against yours, hesitantly at first, but then relaxing as she connected her mouth with yours.
You moaned in happiness, returning the kiss, adjusting your lips so that they were slightly in between hers. You could hardly believe that your dream was actually the foreshadowing of something that would actually happen between you and her, a different kind of relationship.
You both pulled away for a breath, and you saw how happy she looked, even though she was in the lust-filled state, you had never seen her this truly content. You hugged her tightly, bringing her a bit closer.
She was the first to start another kiss, this one a bit more aggressive, and you were more than happy to follow through. Her tongue pushed desperately against your lips, and though you thought this was a bit quick, you allowed her entry, your tongues entwining with each other in bliss for a few moments. You stayed like this for a few moments more, embracing her strong body in your hooves as your lips remained together, feeling her toned body with your hooves. You stayed in the kiss until you were nearly out of breath. She pulled away and gave you a very suggestive look, before moving her hoof down your chest slowly, not breaking eye contact with you, until she arrived at your lengthening member. You gave her an intrigued look, and a loving gaze.
"This is huge! Mind if I... you know?" she asked lustfully, hardly being able to control herself.
"Oh, go right ahead Dash..." you whispered as you anticipated the wondrous things she was about to do to you.
She immediately started rubbing your stallionhood with her hoof after you said that, starting slowly. The pleasure you felt at first was amazing enough, you had never gotten further than kissing the cheek of another mare before, so you were definitely not used to this. She increased with speed gradually, until your spire was at it's maximum length. She experimentally licked the tip of it, and smiled, enjoying the taste, before looking up at you questioningly.
"Um, this is my first time, please forgive me if this isn't perfect..." she said, taking in a few inches of your member before you could say anything about it.
You gasped as you felt the moistness close around your aroused stallionhood, her tongue wrapping around it and along the top smoothly. This felt unbelievable, and she had only just started, your wings were almost fully open in arousal now. She amazingly swallowed the entire length of it, and removed her mouth from it with an audible pop before beginning again, this time more quickly since she had found the most convenient way to do so. All you could do was lie there and moan softly, feeling spectacular in your erogenous zone while she repeatedly bobbed her head up and down, taking extra care to lick the sensitive underside of your member. To you, she felt as if she was a natural. She then began rubbing it again, causing another audible sound to be made to compliment your moaning. You never wanted her to stop, but then you felt a pressure making itself present in your loins, you didn't want this to end so suddenly.
"Hey Dash, mind laying on your back, with your head between my hindlegs?" you asked, longing to taste her.
"Not at all!" she said as he removed her mouth from your stallionhood, a string of saliva connecting them.
She laid in the position you told her too, and moved her tail so that her aroused pink crease was exposed to you, dripping with her own juices. She looked up at you over her quickly rising and falling chest, a loving look on her face. You couldn't wait any longer, and ran your tongue up her slit, eliciting a soft moan from her. Seeing as this pleased her, you did so again, this time placing your tongue slightly inside of it, enjoying the taste of her feminine liquids. You felt her place her hind legs around your head and pull you gently into her as her light blue wings spread, a bit tightly but so you still had space to breath. You began massaging the undersides of her wings as you licked her over and over with increasing speed, tasting every corner of her marehood you could reach with the dexterity of your tongue you never even knew you had, you continued doing this until you knew she was going to orgasm soon. You then spread her genitalia with your hooves, exposing her aroused clit. As you sucked gently on her sensitive tip, you heard her sigh in ecstasy, then her breathing becoming more and more shallow.
You suddenly felt her private tense up, contracting as she moaned loudly, releasing an abundance of fluids on your face, panting. You pulled away, wiping her product from your muzzle and tasting it.
"You taste... wonderful, Dash!" you exclaimed.
She just nodded quickly, tongue lolling out of her mouth as she lay there, breathing hard. You looked at her, still craving more, and she could see it. "Would y- you like to co- continue?" she asked, panting, eyeing your still long stallionhood.
"If you want; I don't want to tire you out." you said, remaining thoughtful as you always were towards her, but still wanting to know how great the actual sex part of this felt quite a bit.
Rainbow seemed to have shrugged off what you just said and climbed on top of you, positioning herself, and slowly descended onto you're still tall spire, the petals of her marehood spreading, and closing around the top half of your member tightly, causing her to gasp. You were no expert, but guessed most mares who had never had sex had this much resistance during their first time.
"Are you alright Dash? We don't have to do this." you spoke gently, feeling her colorful tail in your right hoof.
"Ye- yeah, but it's my first time doing this as well, if you're wondering why I feel so tight." she said.
"It's perfectly fine, I am loving this! It's my first time also!" you revealed.
Rainbow slid down the rest of the way, moaning in pleasure as you were now completely inside of her. You began moving your hips up and down, causing her to gasp with every motion, her sighs more audible with every one. Each thrust was easier as her marehood became looser. She began moving in tempo with your movements, creating a natural rhythm between the both of you, and the room was filled with the sighs and moans of two ponies making love. You never imagined that your first time would be with Dash, the most attractive mare you'd ever known personally. "This is the greatest day of my life by far, never had I dreamed I'd be lucky enough to be doing this with a mare I cared for so much and who was so beautiful!" you exclaimed as you increased your speed, getting closer to your climax.
"M- me.. neither!" Rainbow said between moans and gasps. "You're the most handsome stallion I've ever seen!"
You smiled as she said this, and continued having your way with her, a bit forcefully, but not too much to hurt her. She leaned down and kissed you deeply, her moans being muffled by her lips being pressed against yours. "Oh Rainbow Dash..." you sighed, using her full name as a sign of absolute and complete affection. The place where your bodies met at your hips continued colliding and separating as you moved up and down. You placed your hooves on her velvety cutie marks , rubbing them, trying your best to please her even further. "Oh- oh my, don't stop!" she yelled, quite obviously feeling heavenly. The pressure in your loins was too great, you couldn't hold it for much longer. "Oh Dash, I'm gonna-" you stopped as you felt her liquids soak your member, followed by a very long and pleasurable moan. Not a moment later, you had your orgasm as well, releasing your seed into her, your eyes rolling upwards in absolute pleasure. After a few more involuntary bucking motions, you stopped, allowing her to roll off of you, breathing slowly steadying.
"That was just..." you tried to say, not being able to think of what to say to describe it. "That was the most amazing thing I've ever felt, I can't even put into words how much I love you." you spoke sincerely.
Rainbow wrapped her hooves around you, smiling tiredly, whispering your name. You brushed her mane out of her eyes and leaned forward, kissing her deeply, for what felt like an eternity, until you finally separated.
"I love you too, and I-" she stopped as she let a long yawn escape her. "So tired..." she finished, snuggling with you.
"Same here." you said as you looked at her peaceful form sleepily. "Hey Dash?"
"Yes?" she asked, obviously about to fall asleep.
"You're so adorable when you're tired." you said, chuckling as she punched you softly.
"Oh stop it you, goodnight." she whispered as she gave you one more loving hug, and you noticed how her breathing became more even, followed by a soft, long sigh, indicating that she had fallen asleep.
You held her closer, never wanting to let go. The last thought you had before you drifted off was of the mare next to you, and how you'd spend time with her all the time now. Screw too much work, I'll have time for it after I see her... You then thought with a smug grin about how you were unwise to originally doubt the truth that lies within as you finally fell asleep with the multicolored mare in your hooves.
