I left my car on the outskirts of town near Fixit’s shop, there wasn’t any point driving it everywhere. It had about half a tank of fuel, and as far as I knew ponies didn’t need to use petrol here. So id save it for when I drove back home when I eventually got back to earth. I know out of every possible spell imaginable, finding one particular incantation must be harder than finding a needle in a haystack, but I still wondered if the princess would be giving her best efforts to find me a way back home. After all I’d been here for just over a month already. We got through the door just as my thoughts reached my parents, they were probably terrified of what had happened to me. Judging by how terrible the snow and ice had been I guessed that I must be counted as a road accident. Would they even be looking anymore.

“Are you ok?” Twilight asked as I sat on a sofa leant back and put my head in my hands. I parted my fingers and looked at her for a moment. Then from my hands I spoke with a muffled voice, “Of course! What could possibly be wrong?” she giggled at my silliness, which made me chuckle as well.  The two of us sat there for a moment, the quiet was nice. Not like the awkward silence with Rainbow earlier, why was that? What was different between dash and Twilight that made one quiet so terrible and the other so calm and relaxed. I chocked it all up to being the fact that Twilight was my closest friend here, and dash...well dash just didn’t seem to like me at all. 

Almost as if reading my mind, Twilight spoke, “You know, she will come around.” There was a strange tone to her voice, it was low and quiet and yet it carried from her seat to mine across the empty room. I looked at her, playing dumb and asked unconvincingly,
“Who?” the tell tale squeak in my voice gave me away immediately. Once again she giggled, she stood up from her chair and moved over to the couch and she sat on the other end. Something was different in the air; I couldn’t really understand Twilights sudden drastic change in mannerisms. 
“Rainbow” she answered, “you and she are too alike to not be friends. And soon when she counts you as a friend you won’t have to try and impress her by racing in your car.” She winked at me at that moment. I felt myself blush three shades redder. At that moment I stood suddenly, and at that moment the atmosphere was broken. Twilight looked up at me inquisitively, her expression had become one of confusion and... possibly disappointment? My mind didn’t register it at the time, and I simply stretched I turned and ruffled Twilight’s mane tenderly. At the touch she closed her eyes and smiled. 

“You don’t have to let me stay here you know.” I told her, her eyes opened and she looked up at me with those big round purple eyes. “I’m pretty sure I get in the way of a lot of things you’re used to doing round here.” I continued, but she still said nothing but simply looked into my eyes. “So I’m thinking that, if I’m going to be here for a while then I need to help around the town, it’s the least I can do. So I’m going to go and get a job tomorrow?” I finished my sentence as more of a question than an actual statement. At that twilight smiled broadly at me.
“That’s a great idea! It’s almost like a cutiemark, we need to find you what you’re best suited at doing!” overjoyed by her enthusiasm, I quickly wrapped an arm around and squeezed slightly. Once again she placed a hoof over my shoulder. We held there for a moment, then a sarcastic voice from the top of the stairs called out.

“Weeeelllll maybe I should come down and do my chores a little later then, should I?” it was spike, the little dragon slowly walked down the steps from his room and smiled at me and twilight –still half embracing one another- both realising this we quickly pulled apart and looked away from one another, both of us blushing slightly. 
“Well I think I’m going to take a nap.” I said quickly and embarrassed as I sped off towards the guest room on the ground floor. 
“Awwww come on dude! I was only kidding!” Spiked tried to apologise to me as I passed him.
“Don’t worry Spike” I told him, “It’s nothing, forget about it.” I quickly closed my door behind me and fell onto my bed. 

“What the hell was that all about?” I wondered aloud to myself. And though my thoughts were for that moment on Twilight, it wasn’t long before they began to shift back to the rainbow pony. “Rainbow Dash.” As I thought her name, a slight whisper of it escaped my lips. I put my fingers to them, pondering what this feeling was. The odd feeling in my stomach had returned yet again, and as I sat there I realised when I had felt it before. It was that same nervous and tentative feeling I used to get when I was in my younger teen years. I was only 18 now, but still I realised that the feeling was the slightly immature butterfly’s you get... when you like someone, or in this case somepony. As I lay there in my small room I let the realisation sink in, I... was in love... with Rainbow Dash the Pegasus Pony, OHHH HELL!
