//------------------------------// // Reality ain't got nothing on Rainbows // Story: Dashing with rainbows // by Wafflegodman //------------------------------// Rainbow woke up, and looked around. She was curled up in the arms of Leon. She closed her eye's again and dug her self in to Leon's chest and relaxed in his warmth. She missed her friends, she missed her family, but this was her home, that was for sure, she could take or leave Equestria if it meant that she would feel like this every night. Then slowly but surely Leon woke up, he noticed Dash snuggled in his arms, but didn't do anything about it, he enjoyed it actually. This girl seemed like the one that he would finally be able to keep. Enough time had passed and Dash got up, Leon waited a second and followed Dash. "Sleep well?" Rainbow asked looking over her shoulder at Leon. "Better then I have in day's." he said, giving a little smirk. Rainbow tried to suppress a giggle, as she walked down the hall into the bedroom to change. When she came out she smelled something very good, it was a sandwich made with expertly seasoned tofu, and other assorted vegetables. It tasted as good as it smelled. Once the mess was cleaned up, Leon turned toward Rainbow. "I have a day off, do you want to do anything?" he asked smiling. "I can't really think of anything." she said. "How bout you come down to the club with me?" he asked eagerly. "Sure, I haven't really seen to much of the club anyway." she said getting up to put something a little more flashy on. "Great, come down whenever, I'll be waiting, you can't miss me." then he headed out through the door. She put on a neon green top the hugged her tightly, and some matching short-shorts, some knee high socks with every color of the rainbow and her new running shoes. Then she pulled on some Rainbow colored elbow length gloves, the fingers were cut off. She made her way down the stairs and like what Leon said was, you couldn't miss him, lights were shinning on him from every angle, and he was Up on the Turntable in the center of the club playing some music. He was jumping up and down to the beat, which that in its self was impressive enough, but he was also mixing the music flawlessly. The crowd was totally under his control. She joined the massive crowd for a while, got tired and headed to a booth near the bar, he joined her shortly after he finished up his set. (Feel free to play generic club music for the rest of the time if you want) "You look flashy." Leon stating the obvious, spending a little to long looking her over. Rainbow dash got up and wrapped one hand around Leon's arm and started to pull him to a quieter part of the club, Leon was yelling and rainbow could barely hear him. She found a quiet circular booth near the back of the club and sat down in it pulling Leon with her. "So, was I any good?" Leon asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "It was great." Rainbow said. "Any way, while you were changing I ran out for a bit and got you something." Leon said pulling a box out of thin air. Rainbow took it and looked it over curiously, and decided to open it. She pulled out a silver bracelet, encrusted with Sapphire and Emeralds. She looked at it with a glint in her eye and a heart warming smile, she leaned over quickly and pecked Leon on the lips, then realizing what she had done, blushed a deep crimson and looked down shyly. Leon was in a slight shock, but recovered and gently pushed up on her chin, she looked at Leon like she had committed some terrible crime, she was pouting as well, Leon did the only thing he could think of to cheer her up and pressed his lips gently against hers. Her cheeks took on an even deeper shade of red, as if that was possible, and she felt like she was about to faint. She had died and was in some kind of Heaven, that much was certain to her. (Character development is difficult to wright about, good thing I have a scene change) It was one in the morning, and Rainbow was tossing and turning again. Their was no way she was gonna get to sleep. Leon was out on the couch, lightly dreaming. Rainbow Dash was too tired to change into her pajamas, and decided to sleep in her undergarments and one of Leon's large soft dress shirts, she got out of bed and left the bedroom, she shook Leon awake and pulled the confused and still mostly asleep man with along down the hall with her, her arms wrapped around one of his like a giant teddy bare. She let Leon fall into the bed and pulled a large sheet over him, she climbed under the sheet with him, he was already asleep, she curled up beside him, pulling one of his arms over her, he did the rest unconsciously, wrapping her in his arms holding her tightly. She fell asleep in ten seconds flat. (SPEEDY TIME SPEED UP FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE, SPONSORED BY THAT GUY) Dash woke up first, as usual, and worked her way out Leon's grasp. She made sure he was fast asleep before she started to change. she put on a pair of low-cut, cargo pants that hung loosely at an angle just of her hip, highlighting her cutie mark tattoo. She pulled on some socks, and unbuttoned Leon's dress shirt and tossed it in a hamper for dirty clothes, she reached into the small closet and pulled out a tight neon blue hoodie, it just covered the upper half of her torso, a style she took a liking to, but she set it down when she remembered her gift, it was sitting on the dresser to her right, she strapped it on her wrist, it fit perfectly. She admired it in the light on the ceiling. "Aren't you taking this a little fast?" Leon said. Rainbow looked over her shoulder and smiled flashing her teeth which sparkled in the light. "I thought you might enjoy the view, but I guess not." she said playfully, she then grabbed her hoodie, keeping her back to Leon, and pulled it on and zipped it up. It hugged Rainbow's torso just below her chest. She turned around and smirked happily, "Unless you really do like the view." she said leaning forward pulling slowly on the zipper of her hoodie. "But then again, I don't think you deserve that quite yet." she said playfully turning and slowly walking out the door on the balls of her feet, swaying slightly, to add effect. She almost felt bad about teasing Leon like this, but it was to damned fun to toy with him. Leon walked out following Rainbow's lead. She sat down at the bar and looked back over at Leon. "Sorry about tea...*hot*" Leon didn't have his shirt on, and it was times like these that Rainbow was glad she didn't have her wings. He walked into the large walk in closet he had adjacent to the bathroom and changed. The usual tight black tee-shirt, and sand colored cargo pants. He walked out into the living room when his expression changed from a happy smile to something along the lines of very serious and extremely serious. He slowly urged Rainbow to go behind the kitchen bar and duck, not much time later the glass broke from the large window at the back of the couch, and flew inward. Three guys with PDW's (personal defense weapons, think of an assault rifle the size of a sub-machine gun) came in. Leon pulled the nearest guy into him, and nailed him in the crotch with his knee, idiots never remember to guard their most weak spot, he pulled the guy's gun up and over his shoulder. He pulled the trigger and a long burst of bullets ended the other to threats lives quickly, and hopefully painlessly. He then yanked the gun out of the last guy's hands, and put two bullets into his chest. They were wearing body armor, but that didn't help in this close of quarters. "What was that?" rainbow asked worriedly, she wouldn't dare peak over the bar. "It's safe, but I highly recommend you not look, it's not pretty... This isn't right though, they were using live ammunition, they were trying to kill us!" he sounded worried. Leon dropped the gun he had been using and picked up another one of PDW's. He also took two extra clips off the guy, and a bullet. he checked to see if a round was chambered, sure enough it was. He took out the clip and fed and extra bullet to the magazine, and put the clip back in the mini-rifle. It was silenced and they were using low-velocity rounds. He looked over at rainbow and offered her a hand. Once they were up Rainbow took a peak at the mess, she then pressed her head into Leon's chest, she wasn't in shock, but she was very, very frightened. "How do you feel about moving into a bigger place?" Leon asked. Rainbow nodded her head against Leon's chest. "Then it's settled, to the pent house we go." he said as happily as he could. Until dawn breaks, recover your energy, and have sweet dreams. -+_==-_+-=-+-+-+_=--==-+-==-=--==--+_+-=-+_=-=-+=-=_=-+_+=-P+_-=-_=-_+_+-=_++_=-+_=--=_+=--+_-=_+-+-=+_+=-+=--= WooHoo, can someone give me a brohoof, character development was never so buckin hard. I'm not sure I captured Rainbow Dash's spunk, but I tried. Tell me how I did and what I could do to improve. And for the love of Celestia, tell me what you want to happen next, and I will try very hard to get that into the story. Ciao.
