//------------------------------// // "Oh Goddess...what have I done?! // Story: "Wait!" // by AxelGunn //------------------------------// "Oh Goddess...what have I done?!" By MrAnderson92 I stared at Fluttershy, my gaze unwavering, as I waited for her to come clean. She knows me from somewhere. I'm going to find out what she knows! I guess that explains why I call her Shyfly...because I've met her somewhere before! But where?? "Um...well...we, uh...we met a long time ago...when we were just fillies..." Fluttershy murmured, so quietly that I almost thought I imagined it, "our parents, um, introduced us when we were really little, and we, um, played alot together. You started calling me...Shyfly...um...because I was so timid you used to tease me...you said that a fly would, um, be more noticeable than me, so you, um, started calling me Shyfly. You always stood up against the bullies for me and helped me with my flying once we got older..." Gah! This isn't bringing back any memories! I need more! "When was the last time you saw me Fluttershy?" "It was...it was at a summer flight camp one year..." Fluttershy said, a little calmer now that the truth was out, "it was actually the same year I got my cutie mark, which made me sad because I wanted you to be there when I first got it...because I was there when you got yours but when I tried to find you you had already left..." "Wait, you were there when I got my cutie mark?? I asked, pushing Fluttershy up against the wall, unaware that I was still holding her in what most ponies would call a 'suggestive' position, "What was it? Do you remember??" "Um...no..I don't...I'm sorry," She whispered, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks as I moved closer to her, "It was so long ago...since I last saw you...I almost didn't recognize you because you changed your manestyle..." My mane used to be different? "How was my manestyle back then?" "You just had it completely straight...covering the right side of your face...your mom would always ask you to change it because you had such a handsome face...eep!" Fluttershy squeaked, her blush intensifying till her whole face was red, quickly breaking eye contact again. "Aww Fluttershy did you think I was cute?" I teased, a gentle smile on my face as my innerselves battled. This isn't helping! Let's just stop all this! No! There must be something that can help us! Just a little more! It's pointless! She's told you everything! Not quite everything... "Fluttershy," I began, "I need to ask you something-" But I was cut off. By the one pony that would blow this situation WAY out of proportions. "Whoa now there Romeo! I thought what we had was special!" Rainbow Dash said loudly as she flew into the room, "But from the looks of things it seems clear that you're definitely not a one-mare kinda stallion am I right?" She asked as she glanced from me to Fluttershy, as if waiting for a show. "Looks of things? What do you mean by..." I trailed off, as the image of how Fluttershy and I were positioned right now sunk into my mind, "Oh Goddess!" I yelled as I jumped away from Fluttershy, "I'm so sorry Fluttershy! I didn't realize what I was doing!" Rainbow jumped in to reply before Fluttershy could. "Don't worry about it Cloud, I can think of at least one mare here who wouldn't mind you doing that." She said with a sultry wink in my direction. "In fact, I think she would encourage it." She finished, flanks swaying from side-to-side as she walked over to stand by Fluttershy. She's totally walking like that on purpose...to try and get my attention...and oh my goddess did it work...You do realize we're totally putty in her hooves right? Oh yes, but I bet her hooves were made to mold this putty! Oh Goddess, one sashay of those flanks and you're mostly brain dead! At least get to know her before doing anything brash with this wild mare! Oh, I'll get to know her alright...like just how 'wild' she can be... "Alright Rainbow, the reason I was holding Fluttershy like that was because I was asking her some questions." I explained quickly, wanting to get the matter resolved as soon as possible. "And what questions were they?" She asked in a low voice as she strutted over to me, "Were you asking her if she liked it? Oh I bet you were you naughty, naughty colt." She sighed into my ear as she rubbed up next to me, "I was thinking we could spend the day together, you know, hang out, get a bite to eat, have a normal day?" She asked as she pulled away, the look in her eyes making me unsure if she was seriously asking me. "You're asking me to hang out?" I asked incredulously, "You're not just gonna take me back to your house and tie me up with a little bow on my head are you?" I inquired, nervously laughing as I did so. "Well there's always that option if things get boring later," Rainbow said with a wink as she turned to go through the door, "hurry up with Fluttershy 'Cloud 9' because I want my turn!" She ordered as she left, her hips swaying back and forth, causing me to stare as she left. "Um...oh my...that's ok you can just go!" Fluttershy faltered, her face redder than a red delicious apple, "There's nothing we need to finish up!" "But Fluttershy!" I said urgently, "What about my flying lessons?" "Oh...right.." She replied, thinking as she looked past me to the clock, "I guess they'll just have to wait. I can't imagine Rainbow leaving us alone now...after that whole spectacle..." she finished nervously. "You're probably right," I sighed as I began to move towards the door, "thank you again for taking care of me Fluttershy, and for telling me about our past. I'm sorry for being so mean to you. But I hope you understand that I had to." "I do...but thank you for apologizing," Fluttershy said quietly, "have fun with Rainbow." "Well...thank you?" I said, not completely sure that's the best thing she could've said to me, "Any tips about the flying?" "O-oh...um...only one comes to mind," She stammered, "you always used to tell me to never give up and to always trust my instincts. But the most important thing you always said was that a true flier must feel it inside of them." "You know...that does ring a bell," I said, "thank you for the advice Fluttershy. Will you tell Twilight I'm alright? And that I'll go see her soon. For that matter, where does she live?" "Oh, she lives in the library! You didn't know that?" Fluttershy asked, giving me an odd look, "But she put you in her own bed!" Ah, that explains the bed in the library. Wait, I was in TWILIGHT'S bed?? I...she...no...nooooo.... "Ah, that makes sense," I said, opening the door with one hoof, "I guess I'll see you later huh Shyfly?" I asked with a playful wink. "Yeah I guess so." Fluttershy said sheepishly, with a little blush in her cheeks, "Goodbye Cloud." And with that I walked outside, straight into Rainbow Dash's arms as she pushed me up next to Fluttershy's door, fiercely pressing her lips against mine, prying my mouth open with her tongue and proceeded to dominate the inside of my mouth with it. I pushed back with my own tongue and she relented, allowing me to enjoy the feeling of her mouth, before forcing my tongue back out and our tongues wrestled for dominance as we kissed ferociously. After holding the kiss for what seemed like an eternity, neither one of us wanting to be the first to admit we needed to breathe, we both pulled back, panting, crazed looks of lust in our eyes as we tried to catch our breath. "Well...what...happened...to a...normal day?" I managed to gasp out between breaths. "I got...bored...while waiting...for you..," Rainbow panted. "Does...this mean...you're going to tie me up?" I asked, grinning slyly at her as I did so. "Depends on if you're going to try and run," Rainbow replied, a seductive gleam in her eyes, "because then I'd have to catch you and punish you for running away." She whispered as she began to kiss and nibble on my neck. I pressed my face into her mane, letting a soft sigh escape through my lips as she stopped what she was doing and proceeded to kiss me again, a little gentler than before but still fierce enough to give me the feeling that even us kissing was a contest with her. Well Twilight certainly wasn't lying when she said that Rainbow loves a challenge...and this is one contest I am not going to lose! After a short while, which still seemed like ages, we broke apart again and pressed our foreheads together, looking into each other's eyes as we tried to catch our breath. Again. "You are...a much...better kisser...than I hoped..." Rainbow panted as she rubbed her muzzle against mine. "Well...that's what...you get...when you want the best..." I panted, flashing her a cocky grin. "I don't know...about the best," She murmured into my ear as she bit my neck. Hard. "I think I already have that position filled." "I beg to differ," I whispered as I bit into her mane and pulled equally hard, a small gasp escaping her lips as I did so. I pulled away from her and grinned slyly at her, raising an eyebrow in an unspoken question. "What?" She asked, blushing at the look in my eyes, "What's going through that mind of yours?" "Oh quite a lot I can assure you," I said quietly, looking deep into her magenta eyes, "would you consider it presumptuous of me to ask you out to dinner some night?" "Please, I don't even know what that means!" Rainbow said, laughing at my use of a fancy word, "But I would love to go to dinner with you Cloud. And of course, what might happen afterwards." She finished with a sensual smile. "Great!" I said, a large smile on my face, "I'll meet you at your place tomorrow at six! Sound good?" "Actually, can we make it seven? I like to nap for a few hours around four or five in the evening." Rainbow said with a sheepish grin. "And how about I'll meet you at the fountain in Ponyville's town square? It's closer to the restaurants and all." "That's a great idea!" I said, pulling her into a hug, "Tomorrow at seven then! It's a date!" "Alright!" She said with an excited look on her face, "I look forward to it! But I gotta get going, weather patrol and all. I'm sorry for just leaving like this but I'm already late as it is!" And with that she was up and away, leaving me staring up at her in wonder. I totally just asked Rainbow Dash out. After an amazing make-out session. Why didn't I ask Twilight out? 'Cause you were busy remembering random facts about your past remember? Ah...right. I wonder how she would have responded...why in Equestria are you wondering that? You have a date with Rainbow Dash! You can't just go ask Twilight out now! Good point. I should go look for a place to stay. So, with Ponyville as my destination once again, I set off at a happy trot. Being completely lost in my thoughts about ideas for tomorrow's date, I didn't even see a certain purple pony until I had almost ran into her. Oh look, it's Twilight! I wonder if she knows where I can stay...oh but first a drink, I'm parched after kissing Rainbow! So I quietly walked off towards the small river, not wanting to disturb Twilight, until I hit a certain protruding rock and fell straight into the river. Sputtering, I climbed to my hooves, shaking the water from my coat. "Oh hi Cloud! I'm glad to see you up and about! I was wanting to talk to you." Twilight said. Stupid rock. It must've planned this. Yes, because that rock just wanted to RUIN your life right? Oh shut up. "Hey Twi," I said, grinning abashedly as I walked out of the river, "what did you want to talk about?" "Well, it came to my attention that the whole reason you went to Fluttershy's house in the first place was to talk to me correct?" She asked, making it sound more like a statement than a question, "Well, thanks to...certain events....that transpired after we met, we never got the chance to talk." She finished with a slight blush on her cheeks. "Ah, right," I said, blushing myself under the circumstances, "well, I mainly wanted to apologize for what had happened at the party Pinkie Pie threw for me. I know it must've upset you." "Oh...that's alright Cloud. You did have alot to drink at the party," she said with a small smile, "I was glad you showed up, I had something to tell you!" "Really? What do you have to tell me?" I asked, excitement and nervousness rising up inside me simultaneously. "Well, if you would be ok with it, Spike and I cleared up the spare room and put another bed in there..." "...Okaaaay?" I said, trying to get her to say more. "And, if you wanted to I mean, you could stay in the spare room at the library till you remember who you are..." "Oh. Oh! You're inviting me to stay with you?! I'd love to Twilight!" I exclaimed excitedly, happy that my house problems are solved and that I'll get to spend time both in a library, which has knowledge that might help my amnesia, and with this wonderful mare. "That's wonderful!" Twilight squealed, enthusiasm plainly showing on her face, "We should celebrate!" "Brilliant idea!" I said, "I'm up for anything besides a Pinkie party!" I interjected, chuckling heartily at the memory of the party. The bits I remember at least... "Great! Then tomorrow we should meet at Ponyville's fountain and go to dinner! How does seven o' clock sound?" "That sounds excellent Twilight. I can't wait!" I exclaimed, excitement growing inside me. Hey genius... "It's a date!" "Ok! I guess I'll see you back at the library later then! So we can get you settled into your room and everything," Twilight said with a happy smile on her face, "Goodbye Cloud!" And with that, she cantered off towards Fluttershy's cottage. I, on the other hand, continued down the path towards Ponyville. I have a date with Twilight! Yes. Yes you do. And it just so happens to be at the same time as your date with Rainbow Dash. Oh...no...Oh yes. You are in quite the pickle now Cloud Runner. I...can't believe...this...
