Chapter 6: Reunited at long last
My body felt so warm and calm...more calm than I ever felt before. My eyes opened, and it was pretty blurry, but I managed to rub it off, and get a good look to where I was. I was in a grassy plain. It was nightfall, so the stars and moon was out, glittering in its beauty. I had no idea where I landed, it before I could ask that myself, my body tensed and froze up, as I heard a familiar voice I knew all too well.
“Daddy?” I slowly turned around, as my heart skipped a beat, my eyes flowed with tears.
“Dashie is..is that you?” It had to be a joke. Behind me...was my daughter. I literally had to pinch myself in case if this was another dream...but it wasn’t...this was real….that...was my daughter...my little dashie. Both of us open crying, before we broke into a sprint after each other.
“DASHIE!!”
“DADDY!!” We collided into a tackle hug, both of us not even letting go for the millisecond. Her hug...it was real...all of her was real...I finally have her back...my daughter was finally back. Her warmth, her joy, her love. I kept hugging my little Dashie, not ever letting go as if she might fade from existence. She too kept that tight grip on me. Both of us relieved and overjoyed to be back together once again.
“My little Dashie….oh God...you have no idea how much I missed you.” I sobbed happily, stroking her rainbow mane.
“I missed you too, Daddy...I missed you so much...I never want to leave you ever again.” My daughter cried in my chest, nuzzling in a loving affection, showing and giving her love to me, as to how much she missed me. “Please...don’t leave me, Daddy...I love you.”
“I’m here for you sweetie, i’m here.” I cooed ever so gently. I gave my daughter a loving kiss on her head, with a smile gracing her lips by the affection of my love for her. I heard footsteps behind us. I looked back and saw Luna, the princess of the night in front of me.
“She’s the reason we’re together Daddy. She brought you here.” rainbow explained to me. I was so surprised that Luna would do this for me. I felt so relieved and honored.
“...Thank you miss. I owe you big time.”
“You don't owe me anything, human.” Luna smiled sweetly. “All that matters, is that you and Rainbow Dash are finally together again.” I was so overjoyed to her generosity, I got up and hugged her. She was off guard by this, but she smiled and returned the embracement, a sigh of thanks and gratitude for everything she did for me and Dashie. I can finally live in peace now. No longer having to deal with the utter crap back home, and I have all of my important belongings.
Breaking the hug, Luna’s horn glowed in the blue color I remembered back at my house, as it touched my head, making my body tingle.
“I gave you a cloudwalking spell, and it's permanent. Now you and Rainbow dash can live together.” Luna smiled.
“Thank you so much.”
“Of course. Now, I must return to my duties. Rest well you two.” She opened her wings and flew into the night sky. I watched her leave, before Rainbow picked me up and flew me into her house.
“Dashie?”
“Yeah daddy?”
“Boop.” I gave her a small boop on the nose, something she always loved when she was a filly. A smile grazed her lips again, before we hugged each other once more. We held the embracement for a few minutes, before sleep was in need for the two of us. Dashie took me to her room and we climbed into her bed, as my loving daughter snuggled close to me, while I wrapped my arms around her, not taking chances if this was a dream.
“Dashie..it’s been so hard for me the past week when you left...it felt like my life was almost over at the time.” I whispered, stroking her soft silky mane.
“I’m here for you, daddy.” Dashie whispered to me, nuzzling my chest in comfort.
“Oh dashie...you’re always one to make me smile.” I chuckled heartedly, kissing her forehead sweetly.
“I missed you so much, more than you ever know.” Dashie softly whispered.
“I know.” I then kiss her on the nose. She smiled before a tired yawn ripples from her mouth. I too yawned as we both got comfy in the bed and started to slowly started to descend un blissful sleep.
“Goodnight, my little dashie. I love you.” I whispered to my daughter.
“Night, Daddy. I love you to.”
(Next Morning)
Bliss...warmth...I never would have felt this much joy before, not ever since Dashie and I were separated from me. Dashie….my little Dashie. She was only thing that kept me going. The only pony who gave me a life to live for. My eyes slowly opened, the basket of warmth from the sun shining down on me. My body wrapped in a blanket of softness, and something else wrapping around my chest. Looking down...was my daughter.
It wasn’t a dream. I was finally united with her again. My heart blossoming with joy and happiness, to see and hold her again. It was a dream come true. I guess my mother was right about one thing.
Wishes can come true.
My lips grazing to a soft and warm smile. My hand moving to the back of her head, softly stroking her silky rainbow mane. Dashie stirred in her blissful sleep, nuzzling deeper into my warmth, before her eyes fluttered open, seeing those beautiful rosy orbs. She looked up slowly, as her eyes locked to me.
“Good morning, Dashie.” I gave a soft greet with my smile.
“Hi daddy.” She greeted back with a smile of her own. Her voice was no longer in her depressing manor. She nuzzled close to me, as my arms held her in a loving embrace. “I...don’t ever want to let go.”
“Shh, I’m here, Dashie. Daddy’s got you.” I replied with a coo, rocking her ever so gently in my arms.
“Daddy, can i have a hug and a kiss?” Her question made my heart melt. She was somepony I would never turn down anything for.
“Of course, my little Dashie.” I gave her a strong, but loving hug, showing her how much I loved her as my daughter, planting a sweet loving kiss to her forehead. “I will always love you forever, Dashie. I promise, we will never be apart again.” she then lick my face. She used to do that to me when she was a filly. I never minded if she does. It was a sign of gratitude and love that she cared about me.
The two of us cuddled and hugged, never bothered about how long time passed. None of it mattered to us. All we needed, was our presence and love, the few things we missed from our hearts. The feeling of my daughter in my arms was a blessing.
“I love you so much, My little Dashie. I always will.” I whispered, stroking her back ever so gently.
“I love you too, daddy.” My daughter whispered back, her cheek nuzzling my neck. “Daddy can i show you around my home?”
I smiled to her wonderful Idea. Even though I seen her home a bit and Ponyville from the show, it will be nice to see her home with my own two eyes. “I think that sounds like a wonderful idea.” That was when I heard a growl. It was her stomach. A blush of embarrassment flushed in her cheeks, as I chuckled. “I think my Little Dashie is hungry.”
“Ehehe maybe, daddy.”
“Let me make you something.” I slowly got up from the bed, stretching as my joints popped. I felt relieved. It was one of the best nights of sleep I ever had in a week, when Dashie and I were separated. Leaving her in the room for the moment, I entered the kitchen and grabbed what she had. A few eggs, carrots and other veggies that ponies will eat. It then doweled to me. I will not be eating a lot of meat now, considering meat is never used in ponyville, but I will survive without it.
A few minutes pass by, as I made my daughter an omelet, fresh squeezed orange juice, with cooked carrots, something she always loved to eat when she was a filly. I can still remember those bubbly smiles when I brought her breakfast. It always made me happy to see her with such joy. I placed her food on a tray and returned to her room, placing her breakfast in front of her.
“Thank you, Daddy.” Rainbow thanked me with a bright smile.
“Anything for you, Dashie.” I replied to her with a smile of my own, rubbing her head sweetly. Another smile gracing her lips. It made me smile as well. I love seeing her so happy. Dash ate her breakfast, savoring my cooking. I wasn’t one who was a great cook, but she loves mine, and that’s all that matters to me. As long as my little Dashie was smiling, nothing else mattered to me.
Rainbow finished up her breakfast and gave a small belch, before we both chuckled. Grabbing her plate, I placed it in the sink and cleanied it off.
“Daddy?” Dashie came from her room and next to me while I cleaned the plate and glass.
“What is it sweetie?”
“A hug daddy.” Oh, God. it feels like my heart will burst at this rate. She’s so adorable and sweet. Drying my hands off, I faced her with a smile, before embracing her with all of the love I can manifest to her.
“I love you, daddy.”
“And I love you too, My little Dashie.” I smiled with a soft coo, stroking her mane so gently, as we never wanted our hug to end.
“Daddy?”
“Yeah?”
LICK.
She caught me by surprise, giving me a sloppy lick on my face. I recoiled in surprise, my face dripping with her saliva, as she broke in a fit of laughter, holding her sides while rolling.
“Oh, wanna play like that?” I gave a smirk. Knowing Rainbow Dash, she’s always one with a time of fun and pranks. Taking the opportunity while she’s still laughing by her assault on me, I grabbed her and tossed her on the couch and tackled her, before I dug my fingers into her sides, tickling her ticklish spots.
“HAHAHAH! DADDY! NO DADDY! NOT THERE! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!” She burst into laughter, tears of joy flowing her cheeks. I missed this. I missed seeing that smile, hearing her laughter, and those tears of joy. Blossoming warmth and joy flowing in my heart. I will never go of this feeling. Chuckling, I pinned her down before I gave her one of her favorite things she likes when i tickle her. I blew into her tummy.
“Do you want mercy?” I taunted as i blew into her belly again.
“YES! YES! HAHAHAHAHA! MERCY DADDY! MERCY!” Rainbow cried in laughter. Deciding she’s had enough of my tickling assault, I let go of her as she took her breather, releasing small giggles as well. I sat next to her as I waited for her to recover in her state of bliss and happiness. Having to finally recover, Dashie crawled to me, nestling on my lap, as a smile planted on our lips, my fingers stroked her ears and mane.
“How was it Dashie?” I asked her in question.
“That was so much fun, Daddy. We haven’t done that since I was a filly.” Dashie replied with a small giggle, nuzzling my chest in affection.
“I’m happy we’re able to spend time with each other again. It felt like eons when we didn’t.” I replied with a smile.
“Yea..Daddy?”
“Yea?”
“Boop.” She bopped me this time. Oh God, my heart just exploded.
“Boop.” I bopped her back with a goofy smile. We both chuckled by our funny actions, as we both snuggled together on the couch.
“I love you daddy.”
“I love you too, Dashie. No matter how many times I say it, I will always love you.” I whispered in her ear, rubbing her back ever so gently in our embracement.
“Daddy, can we take a nap?”
“Of course, sweetie.” I was a little tired myself. Guess our playtime drained us a bit. We both shifted on the couch as my daughter nestled in my chest, as my arms wrapped around her in a loving warm protective manor. Our eyelids started to slowly drift, before we both fell into a state of blissful sleep.
All my years, my biggest wish came true. To be with my little Dashie again. No matter what happens, i will be sure to stay with her, no matter what.
