Obviously DnB

Chapter 10: Obviously DnB

Laying on top of the bed exhausted from a long days work with the only thing on her mind being rest was Rainbow Dash. True to Top Notch's word she was starting to get used to the daily milking though she still felt more than a little creeped out when the cows wanted to talk while she was working on them. The day had gotten difficult when one of the cows had complained that Rainbow Dash was pulling to hard o her teats. "Not my fault that the old milk bag is sensitive. Besides that cow complains about everything."

Three days had passed since Top Notch had shown her Horse Show Bend. For some reason that Rainbow could not quite put her hoof on she had felt better that night after swimming in the river and slept like she had been deprived of her slumber for years. "Wonder if that water is magic or something. Maybe it cleans a ponies mind or does something to make them feel better." Rainbow Dash had thought about going back there on her own later on. She remembered where the river was and it would definitely be easier to spot from the air. She sighed when she had realized that there was a problem with her plan though. The river was hours away by hoof and Rainbow Dash's breaks were only thirty minute long. "Even if I flew I wouldn't make it back in time. Gonna have to hope that Top Notch gives me another day off..."

"Wait! He never did tell me what Whisky was laughing about in the restaurant." A sudden realization hit Rainbow Dash and she put both her front hooves to her face. "Ugh! I'm so stupid! I should have made him tell me what Whisky said as part of a deal of me telling him about Twilight!"

Twilight

"Well I guess I didn't technically tell him about Twilight, I never said her name. Besides it was either tell him that or the other reason." For the past couple of days Rainbow Dash couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that she had gotten at the river. Not just for hiding the truth from Top Notch when the stallion was trying his hardest to get the pegasus to relax but also for leaving her friends behind on a spur of the moment decision. She started to feel like she had abandoned them all because she was unhappy with how her life was at the moment.

"Some friend I turned out to be..."

She laid her head on her pillow and began to thinking about her friends back in PonyVille. She missed every single one of them every day. From Pinkie's craziness to Rarity's over the top diva moments she missed them all with everything in between. The memory of a certain Lavender mare burned in the back of her mind though. "Hmff who needed her anyway!? My life was just awesome before she waltzed into town."

Somewhere in the recesses of Rainbow Dash's mind a voice was yelling at her for lying to herself. "Abandoning my friends...just like she abandoned me." Wishing to clear her head Rainbow Dash left her room and headed downstairs before returning with the portable radio from the living room in her hooves. "Well Top Notch did say to treat this place as my own home." She began to fumble with the dials looking for a decent radio station.

Finally she found a station that was playing a song that she greatly enjoyed. Putting the radio on the nightstand she laid herself back on the bed with the head nested snugly on the pillow. She looked at the picture of her with her friends on the nightstand before letting out a loud yawn and closing her eyes. "Haven't heard this song since-" Another yawn that was deeper and more profound. "-Since that night with me and Twilight at the..." She dozed off as the radio continued to play the song.

" Rainbow Dash do you mind explaining to me what we're doing here?"

"We're here because I'm trying to get you to relax Twilight and what better place to relax than then at the local club!"

"You're right Rainbow Dash! How can I not relax with loud booming music ,ponies bumping into to me that apparently haven't heard of deodorant, the blinding strobe lights, and the fact that we have to yell just to talk to each other."

"To top it all off I don't even like Dubstep!"

"Wow Twilight, I try to take you out to get you to unwind a little from all your princessing and this is the thanks I get? This song isn't even Dubstep, its Drum and Bass."

"There's a difference?"

"Obviously, I mean Drum and Bass usually has fast break beats that's usually between 160 and 190 bpm. Dubstep on the other hoof normally has a two step rhythm with dark baselines that are usually produced at a tempo of 140 bpm. Also Dubstep has the bass drops and wobble..."

"You stopped making sense after fast break beats."

"Dubstep is slower than Drum and Bass."

"And you used to make fun of me for being an egg head."

"Hey! It's not being an egghead if the stuff is cool, every pony knows that!"

"Interesting."

"What? You're actually starting to like Drum and Base cause you know Dubstep isn't all that bad either. I actually know this Unicorn DJ, her names Vinyl Scratch, and she actually..."

"No, its interesting that the madness that you and all these ponies call music has such logic behind it!"

"Alright look, you obviously have something bugging you and it ain't music or the smell of the other ponies. What gives Twilight?

"I'm real sorry Rainbow Dash, I'm not trying to be what you call a 'Stick in The Mud' on purpose. Its just that ever since I got these wings I can't shake the feeling that I'm constantly being watched by ponies around me."

"Thats because you are being watched by every pony around you. I don't know if you forgot but you're a princess now.

"No I haven't forgotten that I'm a Princess. How can I forget when twenty royal guards have to escort me to a simple club in PonyVille and intimidate everypony as they stand guard at front?"

"Sometimes I wish that I never became a Princess and that I stayed as the dorky town librarian.

"Twilight you will never go back to being just a plain old Unicorn like you were before. Hey you weren't even a plain old Unicorn to begin with, you were Princess Celestia's prized student! Besides I never thought you were dorky, an egghead yeah but never a dork. I know for a fact that none of the other girls ever did either"

"You really mean that?"

"I ain't Apple Jack but yeah I do mean that. Me along with the rest of the other girls will always have your back Twilight, always."

"Thanks Rainbow Dash, really I mean it."

"Um you mind if I ask you a quick question though?"

"Go for it."

"How does a pony dance to this type of music? It looks like they're all having a seizure except for that one in the middle of the floor. He looks like he's having a cardiac arrest."
