//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: A Day to Remember // Story: Breeze of Love // by HeartBeat //------------------------------// Chapter 3: A Day to Remember I rubbed my eyes from the best sleep I had in a while. Rainbow Dash was the only thing I had on my mind the entire rest of the night. I ate breakfast upstairs and drank the rest of my coffee on my porch. The sun was beautiful and the surrounding clouds were pink and orange. I took another sip of my coffee and went back inside to take a shower. After a few minutes of a relaxing shower, I stepped out and stood in the mirror. I combed back my mane and left my house to waste some time until I had to meet Rainbow. I decided to stop at Aerohead's house to see how he was doing. I made my way to the boutique and rang the bell. Aerohead opened the door and gave me a big smile. "Hey Breeze, Guess what!" Aerohead exlamed. "Um... Rarity finally found the perfect eyeliner for you?" I asked laughing at him.  "Ok shut up about that, but no. Rarity is pregnant!" He said now shaking me. "Oh, wow! Congratulations!" I said patting him on the shoulder. "Thanks! Lets get a celebratory drink at the bar, how does that sound?" He said grabbing a few bits. "I'm buying."  "Alright. But I don't want too much. I got to meet up with Rainbow at twelve." I said, following him down the street.  "Nah, you'll be fine." Aerohead said turning into the bar. After a few drinks I had a little buzz but I was fine. I could still walk, think, and talk right. But as for Aerohead, he may have taken a little too much. "Okay, I thinks its time we left, Aerohead." I said trying to give balance to the studdering stallion. "I guess you're right. *hic* I think I need a lay down." He said hardly making sense.  After a while I had gotten Aerohead out of the bar an to his home. There, Rarity gave him an angered look and thanked me for getting him home safe. ""Hellooooooo, lovely! Let's head upstairs and buck up the a-" thankfully the rest of his words were cut off by the door slamming shut.  I turned my head to the clock tower. It was 12:19 I was a tad late. So I instantly began to sprint to town square to meet Rainbow. I stood at town square looking for the cyan pegasus, but I couldn't seem to find her.  "Hey, Breeze! Up here!" a voice called. I turned my head to the skies, and sure enough, Rainbow Dash was lying up on a cloud waving at me. I spread my wings and took flight. She moved over on the cloud and I sat down next to her. "Hey Dash! Sorry I'm late. So what do you want to do today?" I asked folding my wings back down. "Nah it's okay. Hey, do I smell alcohol on you?" She said sniffing the air, close to me. "Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. My friend wanted to celebrate his wife's, Rarity's, pregnancy. So he decided to get some drinks with me. But things got a little out of hand and I had to basically walk him home." I explaned. "Wow, that's pretty cool. I never knew Rarity was into the whole 'mother' thing." she said looking out to Rarity's boutique. "I guess so." I replied. "So what do you want to do?" She asked laying on her back. "I'm not sure. I kinda was hoping you had something planned. Any ideas?" I answered, giving a little laugh. "Well, since you decided to get a drink without me, I think we should go get a few together." She replied giving me a smile. I never knew that she drank. But i'm sure I couldn't handle anymore than the state that I am in now. "I'm not sure. I am pretty buzzed as is. Surely if I drink more, I'll be just as bad as my friend." I said scratching the back of my head and laughing. "Hm.... I guess you're right. What about the beach." She said point a hoof into the distance. "I never knew you liked the beach, Rainbow." I said smiling. "Well, it's a really nice place to relax, after a long days work of clearing the skies." She said getting up off her back. "Okay, the beach it is. Race ya there?" I said spreading my wings for flight. "You bet!" She said with a smile and narrowed eyes. Rainbow counted down from three and we both took off. I had forgotten how fast I could fly. I hardly ever fly at my top speed. It was enough to keep up with Rainbow, but than a few pops started to echo through the sky and she blew right by me. Another sonic rainboom. The colors filled the sky and she left a line of beautiful colors that came from her tail and mane. After enjoying the sight for a few I landed next to a prancing Rainbow Dash on the hot sand. "Looks like I won, eh Breeze?" She said teasing me. "That, you did Rainbow." I said, defeated. Suddenly, I was on my back in the sand. Rainbow had pounced on top of me and pinned me down. "What now, tough guy?" She said giving me a smile and narrowed her eyes. "This!" I pushed my hooves onto her chest and lifted myself up with my back hooves and wings. I pushed Rainbow on her back and I pinned her down to the sand.  "That all you got?" I said giving her the same look. "I'm just getting started!" she said.  We rolled down the beach for a while. Rainbow would get on me than I would get on her. We did this repeatedly and laughed the whole time. Our fun had stopped once we hit the cold water of the ocean. Dash and I shot up out of the water and began to shiver.  "That water is so cold!" Dash exclaimed. "Nah you'll get used to it. See?" I said giving her a push. She landed in the water and laughed.  "Hey! Alright we'll play like that." Rainbow said grabbing my hoof. She pulled me in and began to splash the cold water on me. The salt water had made its way into my mouth. I began to spit the salty liquid out of my mouth and looked at Rainbow Dash. She was laughing and started to make he way to the shore I followed close by. "That was pretty fun, Breeze." she said sitting in the sand. "I think so too." I replied sitting next to her.  We sat and talked for what seemed to be hours. I could never be bored around her. There were millions of stories to be told between us. The sun had began to set out at the ocean. The water in front of us had turned orange lead out to the horizon. Where the red sun had been setting.  "It's so..." Rainbow said "Beautiful." I finished, looking at Rainbow.  Her eyes opened wide in shock and I had just realized what I had said. I instantly blushed from embarrassment and turned my gaze back to the ocean. I could feel my cheeks as if they were on fire. One cheek had suddenly cooled as something collided with them. Rainbow had given me a kiss on the cheek. I almost died, my heart was beating so hard. I looked over to her to see her cheeks were flared red too. But she wasn't looking away. She continued to look at me with her beautiful pink eyes and a small smile that made my heart melt. I put a hoof around Rainbow and slid her close to me. She rested her head on my chest and we both continued to look out towards the horizon. We sat in this embrace for a while as the sun had made its way down below the horizon. Suddenly both of our stomachs had began to rumble and we both gave a small laugh. "How about we grab a bite to eat?" I asked. "Okay. Where to?" She said standing up with me. We flew back to Ponyville and the stars had began to come out and the town clock read 7:25. We landed in front of a restaurant that didn't seem too romantic but not too bad. We stepped inside and sat down. The waiter gave us our menus and we had decided to get the buffet. I grabbed two sunflower sandwiches and some red potatoes. Rainbow had gotten a dandelion sandwich and hay fries. We both enjoyed our meal and each other's company. I payed for the bill and we walked outside. Rainbow told me about how she had became the best young flyer and how she pulled off her first sonic rainboom. It was always a great time to listen to her stories. She would go into great detail about her flying. I flew Rainbow to her house since she had a cloud house and it was in the sky.  "I had a really great day with you Rainbow."  I said standing on her porch. "I did too, Breeze." She said smiling and opening her door behind her. "Have a good night. I'll see you around." I said spreading my wings and returning her smile. "Wait, Breeze." She said from her doorway.  I turned back to see Dash walking toward me and giving a kiss on my lips. Once they collided she closed her eyes and began to blush. I felt shocked but I felt as if the whole world melted away around us. The night's chill suddenly went away as my heart began to beat at a high speed. I closed my eyes and moved my lips with hers. After a few seconds of our embrace, Dash pulled away and wrapped her hooves around me. "Thank you." she said hugging me. "For what?" I asked. "For a great time." she replied. "Oh, anytime, Dash." I said. She let me go and I waved goodbye. I took off from the ground and started to fly back to my house. I laughed when I heard a faint: 'awesome!' no doubt it was Rainbow.
