Pink Rainbow chapter 13 teaser · 7:38am Jul 11th, 2017
Since I failed to meet my original deadline...rewriting a chapter 3 times will do that to you. I decided to give you all a small teaser of what is to come! I hope this will hold you guys over until the latest chapter is released! Am still considering this a rough draft I might make some small changes later on. Well I hope you guys like it.
Running up the stairs Moose slammed Rarity’s bedroom door shut. Alerting everyone in the household to his dramatic entrance. Rainbow was the first one to the door, she pounded her fists frantically on the locked door.
“Hey! Are you okay?” Rainbow's raspy voice was slightly muffled through the door.
Before he could respond Rarity came to the door. Most likely to see what all the commotion was about.
“Rainbow Dash I would appreciate it, if you would refrain from knocking down my door.” Rarity’s tone as unamused by the turn of events.
Rainbow snorted. “I wasn’t! I was just trying to get him to open the door. Something must have really freaked him out if he ran like that.” huffed Rainbow.
“Well I was just about to do the same.” Rarity brushed past Rainbow. “Moose darling, can you come out please?”
Sensing the tension between Rainbow and Rarity; Fluttershy carefully pulled Rainbow away from the frazzled fashionista. The growing scowl on Rainbow’s face didn’t help Fluttershy’s fears .
“Why don’t we give them a minute to work things out?” suggested Fluttershy.
Rainbow mulled the idea over a bit before moving back to the living room. Crossing her arms Rainbow glared at the wall. Fluttershy offered a shy smile in an attempt to comfort her agitated friend. But it was all for not as Rainbow stewed in silence.
*Who does Rarity think she is? Pushing me aside like that! Does she think that she knows him better than me! For crying out loud she just met the guy!....*
Rainbow glared down at the table only to see Rarity’s phone. The small device was poking out from behind a bowl of chips. Rainbow glanced over at Fluttershy only to find her engrossed in book filled with pictures of cats. With Fluttershy distracted Rainbow saw her chance to do some snooping. She flicked through Rarity’s photos most of the shots were pictures of clothes. Most likely inspiration for Rarity’s next project. After, another minute or so Rainbow started to get bored. She could only put up with Rarity’s outfits for so long. Just as she was about to give up she found a photo that was buried deep into Rarity’s gallery.
Rainbow felt her breath get stuck in her throat when she saw a picture of Moose posing with Rarity. She looked at the time stamp on the photo (8-24-16) Rainbow couldn’t believe it. This photo was taken only a few days before she met Moose in person. Yet, he was hanging out with Rarity behind her back. A lump of bitterness lodged itself in her throat. Feeling betrayed Rainbow slid the phone back where she found it.
*I can't believe they lied to me! They've met before...But it doesn’t seem like they have hung out since then. If they did then wouldn’t I’ve seen more pictures of them together? That or they are really careful not to leave any evidence behind…*
Rarity managed to slip into her room only to find Moose laying on her bed.
“Is everything alright?” asked Rarity.
Moose shook his head, it was then that Rarity got a good look at his face. The gaping hole on his nose was in plain sight. Grabbing one of her handbags Rarity pulled out a few things. Before Moose could blink Rarity placed a large band-aid on his nose.
“There all better!” sang Rarity in a cheery tone.
Moose couldn’t help but smile at his friend. “Thanks Rarity.”
With a playful grin Rarity pulled him by the arm. She dragged him back into the living room with the others. The twisted scowl on Rainbow’s face melted when she saw Moose’s nose.
“What happened to your face?” asked Rainbow.
“I’m not sure? I think ran into something, when I chased after Applejack earlier.”
“You are such a clutz!”
Moose snorted “Tell me something I don’t know.”
Rainbow giggled before snuggling closer to Moose’s side. The close contact made his cheeks burn pink. Feeling bold, he wrapped his arm around her. Moose allowed himself to smirk, seeing her being affectionate in front of others was surprising. They both sat in silence as they enjoyed each other's company. Occasionally Rainbow would shoot Rarity a suspicious stare. The rest of the night went on without a hitch. Rarity had offered to drive Fluttershy home,. Leaving Rainbow and Moose alone for the first time that night. Being the gentleman that he was Moose walked Rainbow home for the evening. One brisk stroll later they were both standing at Rainbow’s front porch. Wrapping his arm around Rainbow’s shoulder he looked at her face with a kind expression.
“Are you feeling alright? You've been really quiet since we left.”
For a brief moment, Rainbow berated herself for letting her cattiness get the best of her. Shrugging her shoulders was her only response, Moose pulled her a little closer. Now their noses were almost touching. His icy blue made contact with her own she could see his warmth and concern for her.
“You know that you can be honest with me right?”
Rainbow turned away from him slightly. “What if you don’t like what I have to say?” said Rainbow in a meek tone.
Moose snorted in jest. “You can tell me anything and my opinion of you wouldn’t change.”
“Alright then...Why did you lie to me?”
Rainbow’s words felt dead in the air as soon as she spoke them. In that moment she wished that she could suck them back and out of the stale air between them. Moose felt his stomach drop from fear and shock he knew that his disguise wasn’t perfect. But it wasn’t that bad he was sure that Rainbow didn’t see his face after the incident with Applejack. Rainbow looked him dead in the eye.
“Look I saw the picture of you and Rarity together. I know that it was taken before the two of us met. I thought that you told me that the two of you never met before tonight.”
Moose resisted the strong urge of sighing in relief. “I never said that, I’m sorry if I ever implied that I never met her. The first time I saw her was the day I came into town. I was running all over around town with Pinkie. It just so happens that we went over to Rarity's to pick up a few outfits...Wait a minute, are you jealous that I met Rarity first?” a coy smirk crawled its way to his lips. Her blue complexion quickly changed to one of a ripe cherry. Seeing the confirmation of her jealousy made Moose blush in return. With all of the time they spent together he never noticed how deep their bond they shared really was. For the first time Moose found himself totally tongue tied. All of his confidence and smugness drained out of him like a punctured soda can.
“Whatever…” muttered Rainbow before gathering her composure.
You did a good job of bringing up the jealous angle without it going down the route of it stopping the story with Dash getting crazy mad. Good job dodging the cliche.

Thanks! I didn't want a dragged out fight, a little jealousy and suspicion is normal.
As always you blow my mind!
