//------------------------------// // Breakfast with Rainbows // Story: Living with Rainbow Dash // by ArmourFox //------------------------------// Alone on her cloud bed, Rainbow awoke to the smell of fresh eggs. Ignoring her growling stomach for the moment, she picked the heavier blanket she used and curled it around herself in an attempt to go back to sleep. When that too failed, she surrendered herself to the morning and got up to go investigate where that smell was coming from. When she finally got down the stairs, she was surprised to see Spitfire standing on her two back hooves at the stove, preparing eggs and singing along with the radio while swinging her hips. Just the sight of it made Rainbow Dash both blush and giggle. When Spitfire turned around and saw a blushing Rainbow Dash standing behind her, she immediately grew a blush of her own and stepped down onto all four of her hooves. "How long were you standing there?" Spitfire questioned, worrying about the answer. "Long enough," Rainbow replied with a smirk. Spitfire blushed. "You've got some good moves...... but not as good as mine," Rainbow said, again making Spitfire blush even harder. "Well...... now that we've said good morning, how 'bout some eggs?" Spitfire stuttered a bit on the first part, just trying to change the subject. "Sounds great!" Rainbow quickly trotted over to the table. "I thought I would make use of this GIANT kitchen you had and make my host some breakfast," Spitfire explained as they both ate. Very little passed between the two for they were eating and had nothing to say. When Rainbow was done she stood up. "Well, I could get use to this every morning!" Rainbow said, getting up from the table. "Don't," Spitfire simply stated, her face a completely deadpan expression. Rainbow elected a very sheepish looking grin of her face. "Well are we gonna go to work or what?" Rainbow asked. "Sure! As long as you show me the way," Spitfire replied, already heading for the door. When the two mares were ready, they headed out the door and jumped off the front porch, speeding towards their destination with lightning fast speed. Both wanted to be there first but a certain rainbow maned pegasus was the first to reach it. They both immediately got in line in front of the chief, ready to be given their assignments. Spitfire was the first to be addressed. "And you, ma'm, are?" asked a large, grey pegasus with a compass for a cutie mark. "I'm Spitfire. It's my first day" Spitfire said, her eyes meeting his. An awkward silence passed between them as they sized each other up. "Glad to have you a'bored," he said with a chuckle, shaking her hoof with his own. He then continued down the line to Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash! You're not late today!" He adopted a look of surprise on his face. Rainbow smiled coyly at him and said, "I know! Luckily I had this mare over here to help me!" Rainbow said, adopting a look of shock as much as his. "Well if this means you'll being on time every morning, then good luck!" he said, moving on to the others. Spitfire turned to Rainbow Dash. "Is he really that mean?" she asked, the surprise showing on her face. "What! Oh no no no no, he's not being serious. He really a nice guy!" Rainbow said, trying to convince her. "Ok, I'll take your word for it..... but I've got my eye on him," Spitfire said as Rainbow sighed. She wasn't going to convince her that easily. The rest of their shift was spent teaching Spitfire how to buck clouds. It resulted in many a failed attempt, one with her falling to the ground and another kicking Rainbow in the face. But eventually, her already toned muscle allowed her to buck the clouds hard enough that they dissipated. By the end of their shift, Spitfire was bucking clouds like a pro. "Well, well, well, looks like you're finally getting the hang of things," Rainbow Dash said, flying over to her. "Yeah, well it wouldn't have been without your help," Spitfire grunted, kicking another cloud. "I know a way you can make it up to me," Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "W..w..what..wo-would that be?" Spitfire asked, a blush growing on her face. "How 'bout some hot..... steamy...... ice cream!" Rainbow said the last part by hopping off the cloud and flying back up. When she came back up Spitfire was blushing and breathing rapidly. She shook her head to clear her vision and said, "We-Well sure, let's go get some ice cream," Spitfire said, a little confused. "YES!" Rainbow did a backflip and held her hooves up in the air, then started flying around doing tricks. "Let's go already! Were losing day light. Unless you don't want ice cream?" Spitfire said with a knowing smile. "What!?! No, I'm coming! let's go!" Rainbow said, quickly snapping out of it. They both hopped off the cloud and took flight. "To Sugar Cube Corner!" Rainbow yelled to Spitfire, who nodded and followed her. They flew over the town and as Spitfire looked down, she was amazed at the view. Everything looked like ants and hills, ponies just going about their business. She was so entranced in the view that she almost didn't catch Rainbow Dash call to her that the shop was right below them. Spitfire responded with a quick nod and flew down with her. Rainbow was the first to land and walk in the door, with Spitfire tailing after her. "Ah, Rainbow Dash!" Mrs. Cake greeted her, "How are we doing this evening?" "Hi Mrs. Cake! I taught Spitfire here how to buck clouds, so she said she would buy me ice cream!" Rainbow Dash squealed "I assume you want your regular vanilla cone with rainbow jimmies?" Mrs. Cake asked, handing over said cone. "Yes please!" Rainbow said taking the cone in her hooves and licking it. "Anything for you dear?" Mrs. Cake asked Spitfire, who was watching with awe as Rainbow Dash devoured the cone in 10 seconds flat. "Um.... n-no I'm good that'll be it." Spitfire said handing over the bits. "Ok, well then you two have a good night!" Mrs. Cake said goodbye. "You too Mrs. Cake!" Rainbow Dash replied as the two mares walked out the front door and took off towards home.
