falling for scratch

The after party

Chapter 10

I'm beginning to remember less and less of my previous life, and you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm truly living with the town folk now, and despite keeping my human form, they can see my element just as much as I myself can feel it. It's amazing, like a connection deep inside...... David looked around the room, with a content smile on his face. Everypony he knew and then some were attending the event, filling the room with gentle chit chatter. He couldn't necessarily pick out a singular melody of conversation, but there was just something so relaxing about the clutter.

"David?" He turns around, hastily snapping out of his daze to see his beloved Scratch

"Yes Scratch?" He looks deep into her eyes, showing a little concern. She sounded legitimately conflicted about something.

"Is... It all right if I go hang with my friends for a bit?" She kicks a hoof cutely "Their just outside." She says hastily

"You don't have to ask me. Go on, have fun" She smiles back at you before trotting happily out of the wedding room. He takes the time to ponder why her friends didn't simply come in to see her, but.... It left his train of thought just as quickly as it entered as he looks around the room, hoping to scout out somepony, anypony to engage in conversation with.

"H-hi David..." A timid, and nervous voice comes from behind him. He turns, expecting Flutttershy, or anypony, but the mare that stood before him nervously.

"Rainbow? So nice to see you made it." He smiles genuinely at her

"I just.... Came to apologize....." She looks down "For everything I've done......" You raise an eyebrow "You know, the whole "I love you" thing..." David's eyes go wide

"Ohhhh ya. No its fine Rainbow, I know you didn't really have a choice..." David notices that her eyes, those large orbs of cerise, begin to well up "Oh... Rainbow do you?" She looks down shamed. David's heart seemingly melts on the spot, at the very strange change in attitude for the usual hyper, charismatic, Dashie.

"I can't help it David, I'm sorry.." David looks around the room cautiously before kneeling down and wrapping his arms around the cyan Pegasus. She gasps with dramatically "David! What are you-" David puts a finger to her lips gently.

"I may love scratch, but you're still the coolest flyer in Equestria." RD smiles, and hugs back before quickly backing off, and shoots off into the sky. He chuckles to himself "Oh Dashie......" He walks, satisfied with the turn of events, and heads towards the door. *Boom! rumble, rumble* David quickly turns, to see a beautiful array of colours exploding from the sky. "Wow. Sonic Rainboom....." He stares in awe, as everypony cheers.
