The next day... I think. I'm not sure how long I was out.
"Ugh, I'm never drinking again." I say as I groggily get up. "My head is killing me."
"Hmm, Vinyl." Ice says while holding a pony.
"Hehe, Spitfire." Drax says while also holding a pony.
Both of them open their eyes to find they are holding... each other. "AAAAHHHHHH!"
They both get up and back away from one another. "Dude, why were you holding me?!" Ice shouts.
"Me holding you?! Why were YOU holding ME?!" Drax shouts back.
"You know you're both idiots, right?"
"Ugh, what's with all the noise?" Zeph says, getting up.
"Ice and Drax spent the whole night cuddling."
"SHUT UP!" they both shout.
"Ugh, not so loud." Zeph says. "Blue, I know we're supposed to start working today, but can we just take the day off to get rid of our hangovers?"
"Sorry, Zeph. No can do. We're going to work and that's final. Ow." I grab my head while it throbs in pain. "No matter how hungover we are."
"*sigh* Fine."
We all get ready and head to work, Ice going off by himself while Zeph, Drax, and I head towards the weather office.
"So, what's this place like, Blue?" Drax asks.
"It's really nice actually. Other than me and Dash, there's only one other worker. The job's pretty easy, shifts are short, and it pays pretty well."
"Wow. Only three workers in total?"
"Yep, that's why I'm sure you guys will get the job no problem." we arrive at the building in almost no time at all. "Ah, here it is. Guys, welcome to Ponyville Weather Control."
We head on in to be greeted by Sunny. "Hey, Blue. These your friends Dash was saying wanted to get jobs here?" she asks.
"Yep. Sunny, meet Drax and Zephyr Verve."
"Nice to meet you both."
"And, guys, meet Sunny Rays."
"Hey there." Zeph says.
"How's it going?" Drax says.
"Well, you can all find Dash in the lounge like usual."
We nod and go into the lounge to find Dash Reading 'Daring Do and the Temple of the Moon.'
She gets up and walks over to us. "Hey, guys. So, you guys ready for your first day on the job?"
"Sure am." Zeph says.
"You bet." Drax says.
"Okay, Blue, since you're the one who thought it was so brilliant to give these two jobs, you're responsible for them."
"Sounds fair, I guess."
"Now, we've got an excess amount of clouds drifting over from the forest. I think this'll be the perfect thing for the three of you to do on their first day. Sound good?"
"Yep, sounds good. Okay, guys, let's get going."
"Right behind you, Blue."
"Me too."
We all leave and start flying towards the sky. We all start clearing away clouds, but I can't help but notice Zeph doesn't seem very focused.
"You all right, Zeph?"
He snaps to attention. "O-Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just, who lives in that cloud house over there?" he points off towards Dash's house.
"Oh, that's Dash's place."
"Oh, that's cool."
Drax kicks the last of the clouds and wipes his forehead of non-existant sweat. "Looks like that's the last of 'em."
"Not bad for your first day, guys. Now, let's head back."
"Got it." Drax says.
As Drax and I leave, Zeph continues to float and stare at Dash's place before he starts following us.
After work, Zeph decides to head off while Drax and I decide to go to the cafe.
We arrive at the cafe to join Vine and Ice. "Hey, guys. What's up?"
"Not much, just enjoying some half off coffee." Vine answers.
"Shh, don't say that outloud. Bon Bon doesn't know I do that." Ice tells her.
"Oops, sorry."
"So, how did the first day go?" Ice asks me.
"Pretty good, except Zeph seemed kinda distracted." I tell them.
"Yeah, he wasn't paying that much attention." Drax adds.
"Hmm, do you think he may still be down about what happened to him?" Vine suggests.
"I don't know, but I hope he gets better soon."
Off somewhere else
Zephyr had a box of candy and some flowers with a note with him. He was flying towards Rainbow Dash's house. He soon arrives there and places the items down at the doorstep.
"Celestia, please forgive me for going behind Blue's back like this."
The next day(because I can't think of a better transition)
I was punching out of work for the millionth time when Dash walks up to me. "Hey, Blue?"
"Yeah, Dash?"
"I need to talk to you about something with Zephyr."
"Okay, what about him?"
"Well, the thing is, he left me a note and some gifts on my door. The note asked me to go out with him."
"What?!"
"Yeah, I know. What are we gonna do about this?"
I sigh. "I'll go talk to him."
She comes up and kisses me. "Good. I don't want things to go bad between us or you and Zephyr over this."
"Yeah, neither do I."
Later that day
I come home and find Zeph chilling out in the living room. "Hey, Zeph?"
"Yeah, Blue?"
"Can I talk with you? It's important."
"Sure, I guess."
I walk over and take a seat across from him. "Zeph, Dash told me about the note and gifts at her door."
His eyes widen. "Blue, you gotta believe me when I say I'm sorry!
"I know, Zeph. I know you must be a little lonely since what happened. "
"Yeah, I do. Just, seeing how happy you and Dash were, I wanted some of that happiness for myself."
"*sigh* Look, I forgive you, as long as you promise to let this whole thing go."
"I promise."
"Cross you heart and hope to fly? Stick a cupcake in your eye?"
"What?"
"Hehe, it's from a Pinkie Pie promise."
We both share a laugh before brohoofing in agreement.
The next day(does this get repetitive?)
"So, you talk to Zephyr?" Dash asks me.
"Yeah, and he promised to drop it."
"Good. I'm glad everything worked out."
Later
Zephyr was going to towards Dash's house once again. He arrives and knocks on the door.
Dash answers the door and looks at Zeph quizically. "Zephyr? What are you doing here?"
"Look, I know I promised to drop it, but would you like to go out with me? Just once?"
I walk up behind Dash and stare at Zeph. "Hey, Zeph."
"Blue! What are you doing here?!"
"Spending time with my marefriend." I answer. He's dead. "I heard everything. I'm not usually the one to jump to violence, but it seems I'm gonna have to beat this into you. So, any last words?"
"Yeah, I spied through Dash's bathroom window the other day."
"You peeped on me?!"
"That's it! I'm gonna buck you up!"
"You''ll have to catch me first!" he makes a meep meep noise before speeding off. Dash and I give chase after him.
When I get my hooves on him!
