The hug that we shared, which lasted only a few seconds, seemed like years. When enough time past, I simply let go, releasing both the cyan mare, and some of the remaining hatred I felt towards my parents.We carried on as best we could, making everything seem less...awkward. We accomplished success by talking. For hours, she sat and asked me all sorts of questions, some generic, and some more... interesting.
"Hey, Dash, I gotta jet soon... got anymore questions?"
"Yeah, just one more...I noticed at Wonderbolt show's that they have songs that play for each member that wins... So my question is, do you choose that song?, or is it chosen for you?"
"We're not pro wrestlers, Dash," I find myself chuckling at this remark, "We choose our own songs. Some, like Soarin, pick songs that the fans will like the most. However, the majority us find songs that hold sentimental values. I'm not sure if you ever came to one of my races, but the song they played for me was Fillies and Gentlecolts, the same song that was basically my high school lax team's theme. It'd be played before games, in between quarters, half time of course, and whenever we were down in the fourth quarter. Anyhow dude, I gotta get something in my gut. Peace!" I got up from the couch, and headed towards the door.
Right before I managed to lay a hand on the exit, I felt a tug at my arm. Looking back, it was,of course, Rainbow Dash who stopped me. "Hey... I know this wicked cool place in town, want to join me there? I'm pretty starved, too."
Uhh, this sounds like another date... She must really not want to leave me, fuck it. Might as well, right?
"Lead the way, dude." I give a half ass smirk, stomach rumbling.
"Sweet! I can't believe- I mean to say, cool, let me grab my bits and shoes."
"You surreee do hide your emotions well. On a serious note, don't worry bout it; dinner's on me."
She lightly punched my arm, "Thanks, smart ass. And are you sure, I mean this place can get pretty pricey..."
"Rainbow, I dropped a hundred grand on a car... trust me, this place can't be too expensive. Besides, it isn't very gentlecoltly of me to not pay for our date."
As I said date, Dash immediately lit up, just like the first time I had mentioned the word. "Okay, then Solar, that's really cool of you!"

Ten minutes later, Green Grass Pub
Within minutes of entering the building, we got seated. Whether that be because I'm a former Wonderbolt(our waiter nearly fainted upon realizing who I was), or just because business was slow, I didn't give a flying feather. When I'm hungry, nothing can get in the way between me and food. Well, except for one of my crazy ex's. Those mares scare the piss out of me.
"So, what'll ya have?" the waiter eagerly asked.
"Dash, you first..."
"Uhm, ok.... I'll have the garden salad, with ranch dressing. As for a drink, I'll have a glass of water; thank you."
"And you, sir?"
"I'll take an order of fish and chips. As for a drink, I'd like a manehattan. Thank you very much." I picked up both Dash's and my menus and handed them to the mare taking our order.
"Uhh, Hate to break it to you, but I don't think either of us are legal to drink..."
I flash a wide grin and confidently beam, "I got a fake I.D.! How do you think I bought all the liquor I wanted to back in Canterlot?"
She returns my smile, "You sly dog... mind buying me some drinks later?"
"For you? Probably, you'll have to remind me though; I plan to get shitfaced tonight. First rule of chilling with me; drink to get drunk. Write that down."
"I'll be honest with you Solar, I've...I've never drank before... If you have to laugh, do it right now." Dash stares straight down to the table, cheeks as red as an apple.
Somewhere in me, I wanted to laugh. But deep down, I know that it'd be best not to. One, not good for future endeavors. Two, wouldn't be right, I mean we are underage. "I'm not going to laugh. Honestly, it isn't that hard to believe, I mean we're only 19 dude. By Equestria law, we can't legally drink for two more years."
"Thanks... I guess you have a point there... I just hope you won't think I'm less cool because of it...."
"Rainbow Dash...only pony to pull of a sonic rainboom,uncool? Never in a million years."
