Hopelessly in Love

by Derec mc coy


memories are so beautiful

        “...Huh" an Earth pony managed to mumble, "what the hay?” She weakly sat up and rubbed in her eyes in attempt to clear her fuzzy vision. “Where am I?” she asked to nopony in particular with her Trottingham accent. She stroked her long, ruffled, blonde hair out of her face with her aqua marine colored hoof and looked around.

She saw that she was sitting by a table and a room with mahogany stools neatly placed around a long wooden counter. Behind the counter were shelves stacked with several varieties of beers, wines, ciders and the like. Behind her were a few tables, much like the one she was sitting on, most of which were not clean. The room itself had a ceiling of an average height, the floor was coated with dark wooden planks. It also smelt a bit like alcohol. The only thing illuminating the room was the calm morning light peering through the glass windows.

“Finally, you’re awake.” somepony said, along with the sound of hoofsteps.

The mare looked behind her and saw a cherry red maned Earth pony with a beige coat walking towards her.

“Where are we?” the mare asked again.

“You’re in the bar. You drank too much, and then fell asleep. I couldn't wake you up, so I left you here.”

The Earth pony nodded and rubbed her face again. “Ugh, my head….”

“Say, who are you actually? I'm guessing you’re not from around here.” The unicorn asked.

“Me? I'm Com Hurri, the one and only, but most ponies call me Com. Who are you?” Com said while trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her head.

“I’m Roseluck. I own this place until Berry Punch gets better.” Rose said.

Com nodded. “Alright. Uh, can I get some water please? I feel like I'm gonna barf up something from Tartarus!”

“I can believe that” Rose walked through the almost deserted room, those two ponies being the only ones there, heading to the fridge. “You drank a lot yesterday.” she took a glass with a fancy design on it and a bottle of water. “Did you have something to celebrate?”

Com walked to the bar, and took a seat. “Well, yeah… kind of. I finally moved in and made some friends. So… I guess I was really excited.” she managed to gather her memories.

Rose smiled, “Good to hear that you found your way.” and gave Com a glass of cold water.

“Thanks.” Com said, and she drank the entire glass of water.

“So, who did you meet?” Rose luck asked to start a conversation, mildly intrigued that Com drank a whole glass of water in just one go.

“Pinkie Pie was the first one I bumped into...well, actually, she bumped into me.” Com explained.

“And she started to sing?” Rose asked smiling.

“Ha, yeah, and she shot confetti in my face. It was kinda fun, other than almost getting the confetti in my eyes.”

“Okay, so, did you meet anyone else too?” Rose asked curiously.

“Yeah. Even though I insisted I didn't want to, she immediately introduced me to her friends:" she tried to remember their names "Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack and...” Com started to smile brightly “...Rainbow Dash.”

“I hope she gave you some time to breathe” Rose asked.

Com tuned out Rose; her thoughts were somewhere else. For some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about yesterday--how she met Rainbow Dash...

        Pinkie Pie dragged a reluctant Com to an open field. The field was a large expanse of warm green grass. Flowers dotted around here and there swayed with the autumn breeze like a group of hula dancers. Crisp leaves in the oak trees whispered quietly, metaphorically of course, among the busy birds.

“You absolutely posituvely have to meet her!” the pink pony of excitement exclaimed. "She’s the fastest flier in all of Equestria!”
“Pinkie, I don’t have time for this. I need to get started with unpacking my luggage.” Com complained. haha lol "com complained"

“Your luggage won’t run away, silly” Pinkie stopped at the middle of the field. “We’re here!”

Com looked around. “Ugh, Pinkie? I don’t see anypony.”

Pinkie Pie pointed at the sky. “Wait for it…” she paused for a few seconds.

Just as the agitated mare was about to leave Pinkie in her Pinkieness, Pinkie Pie yelled “RAINBOW DASH” as loud as she could.

Com covered her ears then uncovered them and turned back to Pinkie, but tilted her head to the sky when she heard something from above.

“'Whah!” came a voice from the clouds, clearly somewhat startled by the pink mare's loud yelling antic.

        Right above her she saw a sky blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail falling from the sky. The bright sunlight surrounded the mare, which gave her a brilliant aura of pure adorableness. The wind blew her long, luscious mane backwards, so her determined magenta eyes were clear.  

Com's mouth fell open of astonishment “Sweet Celestia…” she said under her breath.

Right before the cerulean pegasus hit the ground, she gave a few elegant wing beats and stopped her fall right above the two other mares. “What’s up?”

She’s like an angel that fell from the heavens..., Com thought.

Pinkie Pie smiled. “The world is round, silly. There is no up!”

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. “Of course there isn't.” she sarcastically remarked.

Pinkie Pie turned back to Com. “Com, I want you to meet one of my bestest of best friends: Rainbow Dash.” Pinkie turned to Dash “And Dashie, this here is my new friend Com Hurri! She just rolled into town.”

“Com Hurri, huh. Well, you better hurry if you ever plan on beating me at a race." Dash boasted "Nice to meet you.".

“I...euhm...Tha~..mmmm...” Com stammered and then cleared her throat. “Hi~!”

Dash smiled sheepishly. “You’re a shy one. You kinda remember me of Fluttershy. Know her?”

Com nodded her head. “Uh, yeah. Yes, I met her. She’s a nice gal.” She said. “But I’m not like that…”.

“Come on! You still have to meet Twilight!” Pinkie Pie grabbed Com's hoof and pulled her away.

“But...We just got here.” Com said.

“I thought you were in a hurry, Miss Hurri.” Pinkie asked with an innocent smile upon her muzzle.

“My luggage won’t run away.” Com smirked, and she turned to Rainbow Dash who was simply watching the ordeal. “You wanna come with us?”

Rainbow Dash shrugged. “Maybe some other time. I'm way busy with my weather duties today - I gotta finish that first.”

“But you'll come to the party this evening, right?” Pinkie Pie asked with hope.

"Of course I will.” Dash smiled, then lowered her voice slightly “But I really need to get back to work. Catch ya later you two!” she then turned around and flew away.

So glorious..., Com thought to herself.

“Come on slow poke!” rallied Pinkie. “We don’t have the whole day.”

“She’s kinda epic” Com said, still staring at the cloudy sky.

“Yep. She sure is!” Pinkie Pie agreed “She prefers ‘awesome’ actually”.

"Awesome...” Com nodded “she indeed is.”

“Hey! You still there?” Roseluck yelled.

Com woke up from her daydream. “Wha- huh- oh yeah, sorry. I was...I’ve got a headache. I’m sorry."

“Maybe it’s better if you go home now, and take it easy today. Take a nap, and you will be better tomorrow.” Rose suggested.

“Yeah...Yeah, that sounds good...”
