//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: the story begins // Story: Colgates Brew // by elue1234 //------------------------------// " I have to tell you a story. It's he full version of what I told you both earlier. It does begin when I was a small filly, and Colgate's dad was the dentist in Ponyville. He had just finished checking my teeth when I walked out to see my brothers holding a bottle of some clear liquid. It so happened to be water and it wasn't a small cup no, it was a big ten gallon water jug which they poured all over me as they left. We went home and they were still laughing and then they noticed the next day, my eyes were like they are now. So they stated to tease me about that, as well as the water thing. They said one thing that got me madder then Cranky when he came to town. they said that I would never get a cutie mark and I would always be worthless. But I had yelled that I had enough. The anger came over me and about ten second later, I found my eldest brother on the floor with two black eyes that I had apparently given him. Not ten seconds after that, I did the same thing to the other one, leaving them both to fear me for the next year or so. But when they learned a year later that I was afraid of dentistry, they started all over again, and after I had enough, I broke one of their front legs. For my eldest, it was his right, and the other, I broke this left leg. So the years came and went and I haven't told, or said anything to them. But here I am now, I still haven't said a thing to them. I think tomorrow marks about thirteen years of not talking to them. So there you have it. That's why I'm afraid, that explains why I'm still mad at my brothers. I hope that explains everything." Derpy said her head hung low while tears began to flow again. Rainbow and Soarin were listening quietly, while Dash had a puzzled look on her face. "If I may ask, what did your parents do in this?" Dash said having the thought cross her mind. "My parents were taken by Celestia moments before I left the office. They had to go and fight in battle where they unfortunately lost their lives. But now I am still living strongly." Derpy said. She hadn't hesitated to say the last part. They all then heard a grandfather clock go off ten times. Then Derpy yawned. "Were sorry for your loss Derpy," Soarin began. "But at least they died doing something good and worthwhile." Soarin said looking at the very exhausted Derpy. "Well looks like it's time for bed." Dash said with a chuckle. "Derpy do you want the guest room, or the couch?" Rainbow asked the female house guest. "Can I have the guest room please?" Derpy asked with nervousness in her tone. "Sure you can. Now there's cups in the third cab nit on the right in the kitchen if you get thirsty. Help your self to anything in the fridge. If their is anything that you need or stuff you can wake me or Soarin up. The bathroom is third door on the left on the first floor and the restroom on the top floor the restroom is the first door on the right. The guest room is second door on the left, and my room is the third on the right. Is that all clear?" Rainbow asked. Derpy nodded her head yes as she confirmed it. "good." Dash said, then she let out a yawn. Soarin then "escorted" them to their rooms. "Goodnight Derpy. Sleep well." Dash and Soarin said. They then went into Rainbow's room, where Soarin and Dash had a chance to talk. Soarin was the first to talk. " Are you ready for tomorrow?" He asked half expecting the answer that Dash had said. "Well yes I am. But I mean that in the most sincere way. I'm just hoping that things will go as expected and Derpy will be cooperative and everything will go as planned. How about you?" Rainbow Dash asked as she climbed into her bed, leaving room for her coltfriend to climb in with her. "I don't think I could have said it better." Said Soarin as he joined his lover in the bed made of clouds. "I couldn't have said it better myself. Goodnight Dashie. I love you." Soarin finished as he placed a goodnight kiss on Dash's cheek. "I love you too Soar, I love you too. Goodnight." Dash added, before she returned the kiss. The house fell silent as the house guests and the hostess all slept. All was well for them, for now. They didn't know what was gonna happen tomorrow at three in the afternoon. Rainbow felt confident for anything. But would she be ready for this?
