Burning Love

Rainy Day

Campfire woke up and heard raindrops on the house's roof.
"I guess we got to stay indoors today..." Campfire sighed.
He looked at Song's bed, where she was sleeping. Here mane was covering one of her eyes.
"She... NO! I can't fall in love! I can't, I can't, I can't!" Campfire yelled.
Song's eyes flickered open. She got up and opened her wings.
"What?" Song yawned.
"N-Nothing!" Campfire blushed.
Song giggled as she got out of bed. Campfire's heart jumped. Did she just giggle because of him?
"Look... About last night..." Song said.
Campfire's heart stopped. What was he going to do? She wasn't ready to here the truth.
"I know you where really tried and I was too so I think you were just really tired," Song said with a smile.
"Y-Yeah... Wait, so you think I don't-" Campfire covered his mouth with his hooves.
Song looked at him. Campfire blushed.
"So... yeah... By the way, are you okay?" Song asked, puzzled.
Campfire nodded, his hooves still stuffed in his mouth. A knock at the door woke them up. Song flew down and opened it to see Princess Twilight with a bouncing pink pony smiling ear to ear. Song bowed.
"Good morning, new pony," Twilight beamed.
"And the same to you, Princess. By the way my name is Burning Song. Please, call me Song," Song answered.
The pink pony gasped and jumped on Song.
"OH MY GOSH!! Anewpony! Ihavetothrowawelcomimgparty! Andrightaway!" The pink pony ran as fast as she talked.
Twilight helped Song up, "Sorry, guess I should have warned you about that."
"No problem. Hey, Campfire is alright!" Song stepped to the side, making Campfire visible.
Campfire bowed. He took his hooves out of his mouth as he did. Twilight smiled.
"I must be getting back to my house. I've got a special somepony waiting for me..." Twilight blushed.
"But you'll get soaked!" Campfire said from the back.
"Don't worry I know a force field spell," Twilight said as she left.
Song let out a big sigh as she walked over to the door to close it. There were still oats and hay and apples everywhere. How did Twilight not see this? She saw the items float over to a corner as it neatened itself out.
"Please, let me help," Campfire smiled weakly.
Song smiled back as she heard the raindrops on the roof.
"Is it raining today? Oh no! It can't rain today!"
"Why? What's wrong?" Campfire asked racing down the stares.
"I was going to meet a pony named Rainbow Dash to get a job as a weather pony today. This was her only day she was free. I guess the other Pegasus ponies had other ideas..." Song said sadly.
"Hey, I could cover you up with a spell I know as you look for her," Campfire said looking at her.
"But what about you?" Song questioned.
"No worries!" Campfire stood up tall.
Song nodded as she opened the door. As she thought the rain was pouring down. Campfire put an orange cover-like thing over her head. She sighed and walked in the rain.
"Ahh!" Campfire blurted.
Song looked over to see a soaked Campfire. Campfire shook it off and looked forward.
"Are you sure your okay with getting soaked like this?" Song frowned.
Campfire nodded. Song walked longer than she planed. She saw a light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane sleeping on a cloud covered by dark purple thing like the one Song had over her.
"I think that's her," Song flew up to the cloud the pony was sleeping on.
The pony opened one eyes and then the other.
"Can I help you?" The pony said, still on the cloud.
"Rainbow Dash?" Song asked.
"The one and only! What can the most coolest pony do for you?" Rainbow Dash asked jumping from the cloud.
"I came to see if I could get a job as a weather pony? By the way, I do well with storms," Song explained.
Rainbow Dash yawned, "Oh yeah, your Burning Song... You what a job? Sure. You can start to tomorrow."
"Really?! Thanks! I got the job!" Song smiled.
She flew down and jumped She looked at Campfire and hugged him. Of course, he blushed.
"Sorry, I just need to hug somepony," Song said, hugging him.
Campfire hugged her back. He wasn't sure why she was so happy to get the job but he wasn't going to turn down a hug from her. Rainbow Dash looked down and saw them hugging.
"Bluk! Get a room!" Rainbow Dash said rudely.
Song opened her eyes and back away. Campfire pulled a weak smiled even though he was a little sad in the inside.
"HeHeHe... Sorry," Song blushed. Campfire blushed too.
"We- We better get home," Campfire smiled.
Song nodded. They walked the same path home.
"Are we a-almost t-there..." Campfire panted.
Song looked over, Campfire was running out energy. He was soaked even though he shook multiple times. Song felt bad and opened her wing putting it over Campfire. He shook one more time but this time he only got a little wet. They walked back to her house. Half way through, Campfire's magic gave out making Song get drenched with rain. She wasn't mad or sad she was happy because she was helping somepony, something she hadn't done before. When the got to the house Campfire walked in and right then did he see he wasn't as wet as he should have been. He looked up to see a soaked Song.
"Oh my! I... Are you okay? Did you get a cold?" Campfire asked questions and more questions.
Song held up her hoof, "I'm fine!"
"Thanks... I-I'm sorry," Campfire frowned.
He looked up in her eyes. Time stopped and everything went quiet. It was like they were the only two ponies in the world. Nothing else mattered.
"I-I..." Campfire tried to talk but couldn't.
He WASN'T in love with this mare. He tried to look away but couldn't, he wouldn't move. NO! HE WASN'T IN LOVE WITH THIS MARE!!! He looked at her more even when he was trying so hard to look away. What's the point? He was in love with this mare... even if he didn't want to be. He would have to do what he did with mares he fell in love with... but this one mare he just couldn't do it. But, he had to... he had to break her heart. .
