I wiped the tears from my eyes and headed for the door.
"Anytime you want to come over and hang out, feel free to ask!" said Rainbow Dash
I thanked her with a smile and headed out the door towards home. It was about five in the afternoon, and the daylight was fading very quickly.
"Pinkie Pie," said Rainbow Dash "Why don't you walk home with him?"
"Hmm" Pinkie Pie pondered.
Rainbow Dash smiled and winked at her.
"Okey Dokey Lokey!" she said before prancing off in my direction.
"Hey! Wait up!"
I looked behind me to see the pink filly bouncing up behind me.
"Oh, is there something you needed Pinkie Pie?"
"I don't think so... I just wanted to walk with you!"
"Oh.. Alright then!" I said smiling.
She smiled back. She was amazingly beautiful. Her mane was fluttering in the wind, and I tried my hardest not to put my arm around her. Her blue eyes sparkled in the dim sunlight, and I finally decided to speak.
"Let's stop here."
"Here? Why?"
"Well, I've always liked music, and I never went to high school, so I just thought it might be nice to see."
"Okay then!"
We stopped and watched the band for a while, carefully observing their forms and movements. Trey saw us and decided to stop the band for the day.
"BAND!”
“MOVE!”
“ATTEN HUT!”
“MOVE!”
"Alright, the section of the day are the Tubas!"
The tubas sang out in joy, and started singing the T-U-B-A song.
"Tubas dismissed!" said Trey in a loud and proud voice
"Everypony else, DisMISSED!"
He trotted down from his tower smiling with great intensity.
"Hey you two!" he said. "What's going on?"
"Oh, Pinkie and I just stopped by to see how your practice was going!"
"Yeah! It sounds wonderful!"
"Thanks! We've been working, and so far I think our show will take us all the way to the State Marching Competition in October! Our show is entitled 'From The Sky' and it's about why Pegasi are involved in our lives."
"Pegasi? What's that?" I asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Back where I'm from, we don't have... Pegasi..."
"Oh. They're the winged ponies you see flying around. It's called a Pegasus."
"Oh... I hadn't seen a Pegasus until just yesterday... So I wouldn't know."
"It's alright, I understand you're still new. Thanks for coming by! If you'll excuse me, I have to go and meet the most wonderful filly in my life! Bye!"
We waved goodbye to Trey as he walked away from us and was instantly tackled from the side by his filly-friend Fluttershy. Or as he liked to call her- "Flutterheart"
I turned to Pinkie Pie. She was staring at me, but instantly turned away when I looked at her.
"So, Pinkie Pie."
"Yes?"
"Would you like to hang out some more? I mean, I understand if you don't want to. Me telling you that I liked you is probably making it sort of awkward-"
"Of course!"
"It's okay, I under.... wait, huh?"
"Of course I would, silly! I mean, just because you like me and probably want me to be your filly-friend, doesn't mean we can't hang out at all! That would be silly!" she snickered and pushed me a little bit.
I complemented this playful gesture by retaliating with a slight nudge which she giggled at.
Go on, just tell her: "You're really fun to be around, Pinkie Pie."
"You're really fun to Pie, Pinkie!"
She giggled as I realized what I had said.
"I mean, You're really fun to be around, Pinkie Pie!" I stammered.
She giggled again. "Thanks, you're fun to be around also!"
I smiled and she pushed me again, this time leaving her body close to me for a while. I smiled and blushed. She was so perfect, so cute, and so much fun! She looked at me lovingly, and I blushed again.
"I've really enjoyed the time you've spent with me, Pineapple! Not very many ponies want to hang out with me..."
"Why not?"
"Well, they're afraid that I'll do something weird and crazy, so they don't really want to spend time with me. But not like you! Oh no, you actually gave me a chance! And I'm sooo grateful that you did!" she smiled at me, and I smiled back.
"Well, I'm always here if you want to do something!"
"Thanks." She said smiling, and pushing her body against mine. She stayed like that for a while. My house came into view, and she finally pulled away.
Was that on purpose?
I opened the door and offered for her to come inside for a drink.
"No thanks," she said. "But I wouldn't want you to go home empty handed!"
I was confused. empty handed? She pulled her face closer to mine, and I closed my eyes.
"Goodnight~" she said.
I felt a warm sensation on my cheek. Then, I thought of something.
"What was that?"
"Just a little something to help you sleep well~!" she said.
"Hmm..."
"What? Was that not good enough?"
"No no, it was... Fine."
She giggled.
"Seconds, please!"
She laughed.
"You're so silly!" she said.
I felt the warm sensation on my cheek again, but this time there was a little more of a spark to it. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I decided to be nice and return the favor, just as many times as she had given me. She blushed and giggled her cute giggle.
"See you tomorrow?"
"Okey Dokey Lokey~!" She said before bouncing off into the distance, singing a song about cupcakes.
I went inside and flopped on my bed. I hadn't realized how tired I was until I did so.
I can't believe I kissed her!
Yeah, well don't get your hopes up.
And she kissed me too!
And what, you think she enjoyed that?
Shut up.
I never heard from that degrading voice in my head ever again. It was nice and quiet while I fell asleep.
"Pinkie Pie," I said out loud. "I don't want any other filly but you."
I closed my eyes, and went to sleep.
