Do you--...I think we should date.” “Umm...no that’s ok. You just have to sign for this alright?” said Twilight. “Hey look... I just woke up and you were in my dream. I dreamed you were delivering me this package. Isn’t that weird?” Dash laughed. Twilight’s eyes widened, “Oh Jeez! Oh man, now I recognize you!” “Umm... no you don’t. I’m not crazy if that’s what you’re getting at.” said Dash looking down. Twilight looked as the saddened Dash, “Oh no! It just so happens that there’s this really convenient subspace highway that just so happens to go right through your head. It’s like three miles and fifteen seconds and through your--” “Hold on. What? Subspace highways?” asked Dash confused. Twilight looked at her skeptically, “Is this something they don’t teach in Ponyville schools?” “Can you elaborate?’ said Dash. “It’s like rapid transit? Subspace highways?” Twilight tried to explained. Dash thought for a while, “Is it like Super Mare-io 2?” Twilight stared at Dash. ‘Umm no. It’s not really like that at all.” “Oh. ok.” said Dash. “You guys probably just don’t know about them in Ponyville. I was wondering why they were all so empty up here.” “So I guess you’re... from Canterlot then?” asked Dash. Twilight looked taken back, “Yeah why? Am I coming off as snobby or something like that?” “You don’t remember me do you? We met at the party the other day. You’re Twilight Sparkle right?” said Rainbow. “Oh my... You’re the one that talked about my mane. I just thought you were crazy. I’m so sorry.” Twilight apologized. Dash smiled, “No it’s cool. That’s okay. I get that a lot.” “You really have to sign for this though.” said Twilight, holding up the package. “But if I sign for it you'll leave” Dash pouted. Twilight laughed, “Well yeah...I have a job you see. I’m on the clock” “Well can we go out sometime? Or...I..mean...uh...can we just hangout? Can we get to know each other...you're new in town right? I've lived here forever...I mean...I mean... those are good reasons for you to hangout with me?” Dash stumbled over her words. “You're all over the place” said Twilight, checking her watch. “But I’m so sincere!!!” Dash pouted more. Twilight laughed, “Sincerely lame maybe.” “But...but...You're thingy goes through my head....you rollerblade through my head on your way to deliver stuff, maybe thats why im so obsessed.” said Dash. Twilight stared at Dash. “Wait let's pretend I didn't say obsessed.” Dash said quickly. Twilight laughed, “You're totally obsessed aren't you...I need to find a new route.” “Either that or you need to start hanging out with me” Rainbow smiled. “You want me... to hangout with you?” Twilight said. Dash kicked the ground, “Uhm...if thats cool.” “Ah, how about tonight? Is tonight good for you? Can you just sign this and take your stupid cds?” asked Sparkle. Dash jumped with excitement, “Yes, certainly Twilight Sparkle! Awesome!” she said signing the papers. Twilight rolled her eyes, “So 8 o’clock then?” So Yeah....8:00: “Why are you just standing there?” said Dash, walking up the stairs to the playground where Twilight was standing. “Dude, I’m waiting for you...” said Twilight smiling. “It’s getting of nice out,” said Rainbow, looking at the dark sky. “I guess I didn’t really need this parka.” “What's with the winged lightning bolt?” asked Twilight. “Hm?” said Dash. Twilight looked at Dash’s parka, “On your coat.” Dash grabbed at her parka, “Oh, this? Well obviously one of us went to the royal school for gifted flyers and one didn’t” Twilight grinned, “Obviously one of us is a total nerd. Did you make that patch yourself?” she laughed. Dash was blushing as she giggled, “I don’t have to answer that!” Dash walked over to the swingset, “So how did you end up in Ponyville anyways?” Twilight sat on the swing, “Well I...I got this job at amazon...and Celestia always said Ponville is one of the great cities so--.” Dash cut her off, “Is Celestia your girlfriend?” “She’s a...she’s a friend. So what do you do?” Twilight asked. Dash sat down next to her, “I between jobs” she whispered. Twi kicked at the ground and started to swing, “Between what and what?” she asked. “Well my last job was a really long story filled with sighs...maybe we can it for a later book” said Dash. “I don’t even want to talk about my last job,” said Twilight quietly. “Maybe book 3 for that one.” said Dash. Rainbow Dash joined Twilight in swinging, “Subspace Highways....Whatever man,” she laughed. “It was a total accident! I didn’t mean to get you obsessed!” Twilight apologized. Dash stopped swinging, “I...It’s just...I haven't been obsessed in so long...it’s weird.” “Well you sleep with that girl right” laughed Twi. Dash was blushing hard, “ummmm” was all she said. Twilight laughed so hard she fell off the swing, “I was only guessing from seeing you apartment, but you totally do! Hahahaha” she laughed. Dash defended herself, “It’s just were poor! We can’t afford two beds! We’re not together! We’re not together! Well...Derpy thinks I’m hot but--” Twilight cut her off and though her laughing, she said, “Relax, I believe you.” Dash rubbed her head as her and Twi walked out of the park, “I feel so stupid.” “Well you’re probably not that stupid” she said sincerely. “...I’m mostly stupid.” said Dash, blushing as she smiled at Twilight. Twilight looked away, “Well you are definitely stupid if you want to go out with me.” “Wait what no! I was very clever to convince you to come out with me tonight!” said Dash, putting her around Twilight. “Yeah...we should have checked the weather,” said Twilight, as it started to snow. Dash shivered, “Was it this cold when we left?” “I think it’s starting to snow harder,” said Twilight, “Is the weather this crappy where you’re from?” Rainbow asked. Twilight glanced at Dash, “The weather is pretty lame where I’m from.” “And where would that be” Dash asked. Twilight slid down a nearby snow hill, “Where are you from?” Dash answered as she slid down the hill, “Up north.” “So you’re used to this right?” asked Twi. “Uhm yeah I guess,” said Rainbow. The snow poured down on them even harder. “This is getting ridiculous, isn’t it like April?” Twilight pushed farther into the snow leaving Dash a little bit behind. “I...I...I can’t see you. I’m blind. Help?” said Dash as the snow blurred her vision. “I know theres a thingy up her somewhere,” said Twi, “A thingy...A door.” Twilight grabbed the handle of a door in the middle of the snowy field, she grabbed Dash’s hoof and jumped in. The two mares glided through the Subspace Highway and went through another door that led to the outside of Twilight’s house. “Hurry!” shouted Twi, as her and Dash ran into Twilight’s house. “This whole thing is an unmitigated disaster,” said Dash, taking off her parka. Twi took off her coat too, “Oh come on. I think act of god, is a decent excuse for a lousy date.” Rainbow Dash smiled at Twilight, “So it was a date?” Twilight smiled back at her, “Did I say date? Slip of the tongue,” she laughed. “Anyways...the night's not over yet,” Twilight smiled slyly walking into the kitchen. “What kind of tea do you want?” Twilight asked Dash. Dash looked up at her, “There's more than one kind of tea? she asked, “What do you have?” Twilight opened her cabinet, “Lets see...Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, Sleepytime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle with Coconut, Camomile, Blueberry with Camomile, Vanilla Decaf Walnut, Constant Comment and Earl Gray.” “I...uh...I’ll have what you’re having...Did you make some of those up?” said Dash, confused. Twilight grabbed a box, “I think I’ll have Sleepy Time,” she said. Dash was still shivering violently, “Sounds good to me.” “You look like you’re gonna die,” said Twilight, putting the tea on the table, “I’ll grab you a blanket.” Dash wrapped her arms around herself, “That would be totally awesome,” she said. Twilight walked down the hallway, while Dash waited in the kitchen. After about 5 minutes, Dash went down the hallway to see where Twi had gone. She was in her room, bent over, making her bed, Dash couldn't help but enjoy the view. Twilight turned around and saw her. “Dude?!?” she yelled. “Sorry!!!” yelled Dash, embarrassed. “I’m just so cold!” she said, her hooves covering her eyes. Then Dash something warm press against her. “Here, does this help,” said Twilights voice. “Yeah thats very warm, what is that--” Dash broke off. She opened her eyes and saw Twilight wrapped around her. “Oh...” Dash said quietly. Twilight looked up at her, “I’m cold too...” she said. They looked into each others eyes, slowly their heads move together and they locked lips sensually. “Were you...just going to bring the blanket from your bed?” said Dash, blushing. Twi nodded. “Maybe...Maybe we should just both get under it...because we’re so cold...” Dash said. The two mare moved swiftly onto the bed, still wrapped around each other, still kissing passionately. Twilight was hovering above Dash staring into her eyes. Dash stared back. “I’m...I’m...not sure...If I want to--” Twilight rolled over, “I changed my mind,” she said. Dash put her hoof around her, “Change it to what?” she asked. “I don’t want to have sex with you Rainbow Dash, not now,” she said. Dash smiled, “Well that's cool...I guess.” Twilight turned back towards Dash, “But I’m not gonna send you home in a snowstorm, you can sleep in my bed tonight. I reserve my right to change my mind about the sex later though,” she said, smiling. “This is cool. Just this. You know...I don’t have a problem with...just this.” said Dash. “This is just awesome, You’re awesome. I can’t believe I’m in your bed. “Yeah, and I didn’t really want to have sex--” “Yeah right.” said Twi, cuddling up against Dash. “No, yeah! Really! I don’t know. I’m nervous. I feel weird. It’s been a really long time. But this is--....this is nice, I needed this.” said Dash. “Well glad I could help,” Twilight said, kissing Rainbow’s cheek. THE NEXT MORNING: *Tweet Tweet* Birds chirped outside as Dash woke up. “Uh...What time is it?” she asked, groggily. “Not quite 8am,” Twilight was saying as she brushed her mane in the bathroom. Dash rolled over, “I wish I could just morph into a ball and roll into the bathroom instead of having to stand up.” she said. Twilight walked in her room, “I knew a colt who could do that, he said it wasn't that great.” she laughed. Rainbow sat up, “You’re ruining all my illusions!” she said laughing. “Get up like a normal pony anyways. I have to work soon, so you’re gonna have to leave.” said Twi. “Delivery mare...” said Dash getting up. “Yeah. Come up on get up, I want to make the bed.” Twi said. Dash looked up at Twi, “You know, I think it was weird that you delivered my cds, because I only bought them to see you.” Twilight used her magic to fold the blankets, “It’s not that weird. I am the only amazon delivery girl in all of the downtown area.” Dash put her coat on, “Are you really? There's only one?” she asked. Twilight smiled, “They only need one when she’s this good!” Dash and Twilight walked outside into the light snow. “Hey...” Dash said, “can this not be a one night stand? I mean, for one thing I didn’t even get anything...That was a joke.” “What did you have in mind,” said Twi. Dash thought, “Oh! My band has a show, 9pm, wednesday at Sugar Cube Corner!” Twi looked at Rainbow skeptically, “You have a band?” “Yeah! We totally suck! Please say you’ll come!” said Dash excitedly. Twilight skated off, “Yeah, 9pm tomorrow, I’ll be there.” Dash began walking the long way home. EVENTUALLY: Dash opened the door to her home and walked through the doorway exhaustively. “Close the damn door! It’s freezing!” said Derpy, who was sitting on her chair wrapped in a blanket, with a mug of hot chocolate. “It took me like five hours to fly back here!” Dash said, annoyed. “Yeah, your mother and I have been worried sick,” Derpy said, not really processing what Dash was saying. “There's a letter for you on the table.” Rainbow picked up the letter and opened it. “Dude I got a letter? So yeah, I don’t know if I told you about this unicorn Twilight, but man, she’s so amazing. She’s totally...she’s...yeah.” Derpy looked at Dash, “Did you sleep with her?” she asked. “Well...yes...no...I slept in her bed...” Dash stuttered. “You should break up with your fake flight school girlfriend Dash.” said Derpy. “Well I didn't have sex with her Derps,” said Dash. “You should break up with your fake flight school girlfriend Dash.” Derpy said again. Dash sat down, “Yeah...I know.” she said. Derpy leaned over to Dash, “So who’s the letter from?” she asked. Rainbow read the letter out loud, “Dear Miss Rainbow Dash, my name is Vinyl Scratch and I’m...uh...huh...yeah. Received no reply to my email of saturday. Consider this fair warning...blah...blah...blah...Fight Schedule Etcetera.” Derpy sipped her chocolate, “So the usual?” she asked. “I guess I’m just not interested in what this gentleman is selling,” said Dash, tossing the letter aside. “Oh hey! We have a show tomorrow at Sugar Cube Corner, you should come.” she said. “I’ll come if you break up with Scoots, that poor misguided angel” Dash yelled into her pillow. Later that day, she trudged through the thick snow to band practice.
