//------------------------------// // Things are alright // Story: Things are alright // by flowgninthgil //------------------------------// - It's been a hell of a night! Thanks AJ for inviting us! - No probl' Dash, told you it was gonna be great. -Yeah, you bet! I never though you were able to put out something like that! - Can you two stop? I'm gonna think you want to steal RD from me. - What? Twi! How can you think that of me? I'm the most loyal girlfriend you could have! There's no way I'll fall so low as getting with AJ! - Hey! I'm not a bad girlfriend! - Do you have anyone to prove it? - Well... no, but- - So no one to support your claim, meaning I'm right! - Wha- Rara! I need you on here, do I seem like a bad girlfriend? - Why did you have to bring me on this? You sure have... your own charms, but I'm not the one you should ask to... - Very hepful... - Nahah! See? I'm right. - Twilight? Why don't you do anything? She's your girlfriend... - Why should I do anything? She'd just proven that she belong to me and only me and that I have no concurrence, I see nothing bad in this. - Fluttershy? - hmm? Oh, sorry, I wasn't listening, I think there was a cat on the other side of the road. - It's alright... - Poor AJ, gotta be alone in her misery. - Well, I'm off here. See you all on monday. - Yeah, sleep well Rarity. - G'night! - Good night Rare. - Hey Fluttershy. - hmm? - What's up Flutter? You seem pretty quiet tonight. I mean, more than usual. - Oh, nothing. Just in my thoughts. I'm also taking advantage of the tranquility of the street. - it's true that we don't usually have times like these. - would be perfect to read a book or stargazing. - I was more thinking of admiring the animals around. - itis true that it's easier to stop them when there are no sounds. - anyway, I'm getting tired, I think I'm going to take my bus soon. I guess I'm leaving you here. - okay then, good night! - have a safe trip and See you on moday. - yeah, goodnight. - hey Twi? - yeah? -You look good at night. - You're gonna brag about it again RD? - I don't see why you're saying something like that. - Well, I guess I gotta leave ya two alone. Gotta let the lovebirds do their things. - yeah, yeah. Go off and get yourself a boyfriend, if any find you good enough! - See ya two later! - Why didn't Pinkie left with us again? - don't know Twi, I think she said something about keeping the child of the bakers. - The bakers? you mean the owners of the bakery? That make no sense. - don't ask Twi, don't ask. In silence, they continued to walk, holding hands, under the few stars of the night amd the lights of the streets. - You know I still have to get home? Twilight moved her head for it to lay on Rainbow's shoulder. - Sorry, I can't stay at your place tonight. - It's not your fault, you already do it half a week every week already. - yeah... The street was empty, no cars or passerby, only two silhouettes walking together. - You know... - What? - Nah, it's nothing. - Tell me, you always have good ideas when you have ideas. - What is that supposed to mean? - That I love you, my featherbrain. - Fair enough... They shared a kiss in silence. - So, what were you thinking? - Well... I though that... maybe we could. I don't know... Maybe we could find ourselves a home? For both of us? - You mean... like, having our home? - Yeah... kinda? You know, instead of having each one small apartment and coming to the other once every night... - Are you sure? That's a big step in a relationship. - yeah, well... Don't you think that... we're, maybe, ready? - I'd love it Rainbow. She turned to look in her eyes before hugging her tightly and kisser her with a the love she could give. They stood there still for some time, alone in their own world. - I'd love it rainbow... - I should get you home now, it's late I still have to ride home. - You're sure you can't stay tonight? spending another night togerther? - Nah, I still got a few things to do and I'm a bit tired. I'll call you tomorrow so we can talk more about that new project. - Yeah... they walked silently until they reached Twilight's home, Rainbow's motorbike safely parked nearby. - I love you Rainbow, I'll be waiting for your call tomorrow. - Yeah, don't wait too much, you know where that gets us. - Depends of the context... - Right now the context is me coming home Twi... - yeah... Sadly. - Goodnight Twi, I'll call tomorrow. - Promise? - Always. - Good night Rainbow. The sound of the mottor echoed loudly in the night, breaking the pristine silence that had made itself a place in the empty city. Her thoughts were turning round, again and again. Worries and happiness, love coming in again. The idea of spending her life with Twilight. The idea of sleeping every night close to her. The idea of everything going well. The worry of not being the one she deserve. The will of doing her best to bring her every bit of happiness she deserve. The sound getting louder, the motor speeding up, not too fast, just enough to feel the speed through the wind. The appreciation of the speed. The lights flashing by as she go through the empy streets. The love of that kiss and the happiness it brough to her. The love in those eyes. The wish to see it more, everyday, every morning, every second. The will to make her happy. The will to be happy. The speed going up again, the wind and motor becoming louder. The hope and feeling that everything will be the best it could. That feeling that everything will be alright, forever. A faraway sound. Coming closer. The wind and motor still loud. The speed too high. the lights coming from the side. The sound of the tires screeching on the asphalt. The massive form appearing out of nowhere. - Wha-? A shock on the left side. The feeling of crashing against a wall. nothing.
