As Dire trotted down the back road path, he looked up and was greeted by the town of Ponyville. "I've heard of this place before," He said in his usual deep voice, "wonder if they have scoured this town yet."
"Hi," exclaimed an unknown pony as he entered the town. Dire jumped a literal three feet away and turned, ready to fight, only to see a beautiful cyan pony with magenta eyes. Dire relaxed realizing it was just a innocent pony. "Um, you okay," asked Rainbow as Dire slowly moved back towards her.
"Um yeah, sorry, just so used to expecting the worst." He smiled.
"Um, okay? Well I'm Rainbow Dash. It's nice to meet you." Said Rainbow Dash, unconvinced.
"I'm Dire Rage. The pleasure is all mine," said Dire as he lightly bowed. Rainbow Dash blushed lightly at the comment. Man, she's a cute Pegasus.
"Um..." stumbled Rainbow, looking for a way to reply to the comment from Dire. Wouldyoulikemetoshowyouaroundtown," asked Rainbow. She said it so quick, it sounded like one word. A horrible save.
"If it's not to much trouble to you ma'am."
"Oh, uh, you don't have to call me ma'am," said Rainbow Dash as she began to blush harder. Damn, he's such a gentle-corn!
"Ok. And if it's okay with you I would love that," said Dire as he smiled warmly. I want to kiss her so bad!
"Ok." Rainbow turned around and began to walk to the main street of Ponyville.
Dire was looking at every building, in awe at the colors of them all.
"Um, Rainbow, who is this you're showing around," asked a very mannered voice.
Dire turned to see a white pony with a purple mane talking to Rainbow. "This is Dire Rage," said Rainbow Dash, slightly irritated at the interruption of her friend.
Rainbow leaned over to Rarity and whispered "He's a gentle-corn. I do believe he has a crush on me!" Rarity was staring at the gray unicorn as she heard the word gentle-corn.
"My, my, Rainbow Dash," Rarity exclaimed as she mumbled under her breath "She always gets the polite ones."
"Um, hello, I'm Dire Rage. Nice to meet you," said Dire as he smiled warmly and bowed politely.
Rarity noticed the scar running down his hoof making it harder for him to bow but still smiled back. "Hello Mr.Rage, I am Rarity."
"Rarity, we still have a lot of town to view, so if you could let us make our way..," said Rainbow, irritated. Rainbow suddenly grabbed Dire and dragged him on past Rarity so they could continue to go. Maybe I should ask him if he likes me? No that's just to early and stupid! Why do I even like him?!?
"Um, hi? I'm Dire." Rainbow turned to see PinkiePie standing right on top of him.
"I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said in her usual tone.
"Pinkie, get off of him!" As Rainbow shoved Pinkie off of Dire she slipped and landed straight on Dire. Through gasped breath Dire lightly laughed as Rainbow Dash got up. "Sorry."
All three ponies were laughing already. "it's...O....K" Dire slowly stranded up and thanked Pinkie once again for a cookie she gave him.
"Pinkie, we have to go now. Dire still hasn't seen a few places."
As Rainbow was talking, Dire was already moving ahead "Thanks Pinkie Pie! Come on Rainbow!"
"Now I have to show you Sweet Apple Acres."
"Okay, sounds fun. I've worked at a farm before." Dire gasped as he saw the massive farm ahead of him.
"Who's there!?" Said a hidden pony.
"It's just me, Applejack," Rainbow called out as a orange pony stepped out and looked at Dire curiously.
"Um, hello there stranger. Ah'm Applejack. nice to meet ya!"
"I'm Dire. It's nice to meet you too!" Said a grinning Dire as Applejack stared at Rainbow looking for an explanation.
"This is a new pony. I have just been showing him around." Rainbow winked at Applejack, indicating that Rainbow thought something was up with this pony.
"Uh, ma'am do you possibly have a bathroom I can use?"
"Oh, y'all just go up there and turn right." Dire gave a quick thanks and scuttled off to the bathroom.
"I think he likes me, and I like him! He's such a gentle-corn and I think he's adventurous! Did you noticed his scar on his leg?" Said a deeply blushing Rainbow.
"Maybe you should ask him? You never know," Applejack said to her friend, seeing how much she liked this pony. "Um how long have you been hangin' out with this here pony?"
"About 6 hours," said Rainbow Dash. Dire slowly trotted back down to the two mares and caught a sentence from Rainbow Dash "I really like him Applejack. I don't know why though."
He trotted back down pretending he didn't even hear that sentence. "Thank you Applejack. I think Rainbow has one more place to show me before I try to find a place to settle." Dire smiled warmly. Applejack saw the wince of pain when he moved his leg wrong.
She didn't question it, just nodded. "Have fun, be seeing you 'round!"
As Rainbow and Dire trotted up to some kind of tree, Dire asked, "Why are we going to a tree again?"
"This is the public library. It's also the home of Twilight," Rainbow said as she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Rainbow opened the door and was greeted by a purple alicorn.
"Rainbow, this is a public library. You don't have to knock," said Twilight playfully. Twilight noticed the gray unicorn standing behind Rainbow.
Dire bowed his lowest bow possible, realizing he was in the presence of a princess. "I am Dire, your highness. It is a huge pleasure to meet you."
"You don't have to do that, but thank you. I am Twilight Sparkle. It's very nice to meet you," said Twilight.
"Twilight, this is a new pony in town and I was just showing him around." Rainbow Dash was balking at the floor, ready to leave.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to go find a place to stay now." Dire smiled at Twilight as she nicely nodded, gesturing for him to go on.
"Um, Dire, if you would rather, maybe you could come and stay the night at my place and find somewhere tomorrow?"
"Rainbow, are you sure? I don't want to cause you any inconvenience," said Dire, flabbergasted at such a nice offer.
"Yeah, I'm sure. It would be awesome! Maybe we can even become better friends."
As Dire walked to a cloud floating in the sky his horn began to glow. He started to use a flying spell to raise toward Rainbow's house. As they both walked into Rainbow's house, Rainbow stopped Dire and looked at him with two nervous eyes. Man those magenta eyes are beautiful.
"Um Dire, can I ask you something" asked a nervous-sounding Rainbow Dash.
"Sure, you can ask me anything you want," said a curious Dire.
"Um, well, uh, Do you what to go on a date with me later?" Rainbow nervously blasted out.
Dire was at a loss of words. "Uh, y-yes!"
Rainbow Dash almost jumped with joy as his response registered. She moved over and kissed him straight on the lips. "I've liked you since you first walk-" Rainbow was cut short as Dire pressed his lips against the cyan pony's.
They continuously did this occasionally stopping to catch their breaths. They finally fell asleep at 2 a.m. in the morning, and Dire woke up and was greeted by a horrible scene.
