A letter and bonding time

"This one is a bit of a builder for the next chapter and there are some random element in here aswell. Hope you all enjoy, And here it comes!"





*Dave! IT’S time to wake up you late sleeper.* Fine fine fine whatever you want, just stop screaming. *I will if you step up from your bed!* Ugh my head, what is the time? *It’s 10:45 am, Mister Dave,* Oh? At least it’s not too bad. I then start to dress up in my clothes again. Oh god they are getting dirty. Guess I will just have to live with it. I then walk down the stairs and I hear Twilight say something. “Thanks Derpy.” Oh! She got mail. *No actually Derpy works with a cupcake delivery company.* She does? *Nah, she is just a regular mail-mare.*

“Gotta go.” There is the Derpy voice we all know and love.

“Goodbye Derpy!” She then closes the door and turns around to see me walking down the stairs. “Oh, Dave so you are finally awake? I was wondering when you would wake up.” I’m not that late.

“Is it really that late? I mean its only 10:50 a.m. right?” *Nope!*

“10:50 a.m? Where did you get that from? It’s 1:10 p.m. so you have kind of overslept.” How the hell did I oversleep that much? Not that it matters but still.

“What is that mail you got there?” I wonder what it could be? *It’s a box with a filly Rainbow Dash.* It is? *No I’m just trolling you.* Oh(With a sad thought)…

“It seems to be mail from Rarity, Let’s read it shall we?” I wonder what has happened to her in Prance.

“Of course.” We then walk in to the kitchen and take some breakfast while she begins to read.

“Hello everypony, Spike and Dave.” So she actually remembers me? That was unexpected. “I have had the most wonderful of times here in Prance. The business has gone really good actually, even better than I would have hoped. The landscapes here are the most beautiful anypony will ever see. And if that was not enough, I met this young and very handsome gentlecolt named Nova Note. I really like him he is so nice, though he somehow reminds me a bit of Dave, I don’t know what it is but there is some kind of thing that makes them seem very close. Completely unexpected Nova asked me out on a date and I said yes, because well I have never really had any interest in most stallions but there is something with this one I can’t quite put my hoof on. The date was one of the best nights I have ever had. Later that day I asked if he wanted to follow me home to Ponyville when my dealings are over and he was overjoyed at the thought of following me, what worries me the most is that he said he has almost lived in Prance for a year, and he has almost got no friends so he had no problem following on that line. And that is the story of my adventures in gorgeous Prance and I can’t wait to get home so you can all meet Nova. I think you will like him. With lots of love, Rarity.” That was long, and where have I heard the name Nova Note? I know I have heard it from somewhere I just can put my finger (Hoof?) on it. *It’s probably one of the many fanfics you have read.* Yeah, that’s probably it.

“She seems like she is having a great time.”

“She sure does, but I’m still wondering on the Nova character, he just seems a bit off to me.” He does to me as well.

“I know what you are saying but I feel I have heard that name somewhere before but it’s probably nothing.” *I think it’s just your brain lagging making you have Déjà vu feelings.* What does lag in my brain have to do with déjà vu? *EVERYTHING.* Right.

“Well let’s not worry about it too much; he must be a gentlecolt since he got Rarity to go with him on a date. And I must say that is HARD, I have never heard Rarity ever saying yes to a date EVER. But she is the only one anypony has ever asked but I hope he will make her happy.” He probably will. *In your butt.* Why are you always making so weird comments? *No comment.* That was easy.

“Yeah, he probably is, though I am wondering what he looks like?” *He probably looks like Pon3.* Maybe.

“So Dave what are you going to do today?” *I know I know!* What would that be? *I think we should totally go and hang out with RD.* You know what? That sounds like a really good idea, let’s do that.

“Can you point me the way to Rainbow Dash?”

“I had a feeling you would say that.” Oh god did I give something away? *You know it is actually kind of obvious.* I guess you are somewhat right on that. “You just follow the main road and a bit outside the town her cloud house floats, but if she is not there she is probably just practicing I the field. That’s when you come to her house the roads go into a fork. Take the right one and you should come to the field.” Informative. *Indeed.*

“Thanks for the help; I will see you later then! Wait a minute, since you know magic; is there a spell that can make me walk on clouds?”

“Yeah I have that, let me just cast it.” A purple light starts emitting from her horn and it engulfs me. And then I’m suddenly just standing on the ground again. “There you go, now you can walk on clouds for a week.” A week? Why would I need that?

“A week? Isn’t that a bit long?”

“Nope, it’s actually the lowest cast time for the spell.” It is? I did not know that.

“Ok, I guess that makes sense. See you later Twilight!”

“See you later Dave.” I then wave to her and start walking towards Dashie’s house. *You are just going to take her from behind.* That just sounds stupid. You know that right? *That was kind of the point.* Alright then. LET’S GO! *ALLONS-Y.* NO, you did not just steal that catchphrase *Oh I’m sure doctor hooves won’t mind.* Wait, wasn’t it Kyle who came up with it? *I have no idea. So let’s just drop it, this conversation is pointless.* Fine. *Oh, yeah don’t forget your condom!* What the fuck? *Oh sorry I mean your sword.* Oh yeah forgot that. I then walk up the stairs and get my sword and then I walk downstairs again.

“Dave is that really necessary?”

“Well I just like the feeling of protection, you know.”

“Alright fine, go on then. Bye bye.”

“Bye Twi” OVERPROTECTION ACTIVATED! *She is just uncomfortable with you having a sword.* Maybe.

I start walking down the street and I see Applejack at her apple stand. “Howdy Dave! And what ‘re you up to?”

“Nothing special I’m just about to go see Rainbow.”

“Well y’all have fun with that.” That’s an honest pony. *You know that is her element right?* Oh just you shut up! *I really don’t feel like it.*

“I will! How’s business?”

“It’s going mighty fine thank you.”

“Well, see you later AJ.”

“See ya later Dave!” That was a nice little chat. *Like your p…* NO CAN YOU PLEASE STOP DOING THAT!? *What? I was just about to say personality.* You did? Oh! I’m sorry. *Thank you. This reminds me of that one time where you got an arrow to the knee.* I never got an arrow in the knee. *Riight, I don’t believe you.* Ok? …



A short walk later towards RDs house ten minutes later.

“RD! ARE YOU HOME!?” What is that poofy sound? *It’s the sound of cloud-walking, DUH.* It is? How would I know? Humans can’t walk on clouds remember? *Whatever man.*

“WHO IS IT!?” That is a tired voice.

“IT’S ME, DAVE!” And now, she instantaneous woke up. *I concur!*

“I WILL BE RIGHT THERE!” What did I tell you? *That she would wake up?* it was a metaphor you know? *What is a metal-phor?* …WOW just wow. *What? I really have no idea what it means.* Are you serious? *Completely.* Then I won’t say it. *God damnit!* You are so pwned.

And then RD come flying down from her cloud-house. “Good morning Dashie.” Wait only Pinkie calls her that.

“Normally I don’t want people I just met to call me Dashie but I’m ok with you doing it.” I think I know why. *Me too.* “Why did you come here anyway?”

“Well I thought what should I do today? And then I decided I should hang out with you, if you are ok with that.” I think I know the answer. *It’s going to be NO!* NO.

“I’m totally up for that the question is what we should do?” I know what to do here.

“Well I thought we could start with you showing me some tricks since you say you are so awesome at flying, and I still want you to prove that.” That must make her happy, because she loves to boast. *I know. You don’t have to tell me that.*

“Oh yeah? I’m about to make your life 20% cooler in ten seconds flat.” I nod. OH MY FUCKING GOD SHE SAID IT! “Follow me to the field.” Well now I have to see this, just because of the line.

We walk toward the field in total silence until. “Dashie I have heard of you doing something called a sonic rainboom, when we get to the field would you care to show me?” Boasting machine activate! *Probably.*

“Oh, I will show you alright and be prepared to be blown away by the awesomeness that is Rainbow Dash!” HA I knew she would boast. *It is really obvious actually.* Shut up, will you? *Maybe, but probably not, this is just too much fun, you know?* No I don’t. *Really? That makes me a sad panda.* NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why did you have to bring pandas in to this? *Because I’m a jerk?* YES!

“Oh I actually believe you, I really just want to SEE it you know?” *Oh I know alright.* No you don’t.

“We are here. Sit there.” She points at a bench. I go over to it and sit down. “Yeah now I’m going to show you what it means to be the fastest flier in all of Equestria.” I actually really want to see the buccaneer blaze since it’s so notorious of sorts. Because you never got to see her do the trick on the show, just a tease and those are annoying. “

“Impress me.”

“Oh I will, and that’s a promise.” I trust her completely. *Of course you do.* Why should I not trust her? *I don’t know but there is only one pony you can trust with everything and that is Applejack.* True story.

The next hour was filled with mostly spins and turns and all kinds of cool stuff but the two most amazing of them must be the rainboom and the buccaneer blaze. I’m not going to tell you about them because the rainboom you already know and the blaze is just to amazing to describe. *That is the perfect thing to write in the journal.* You were really documenting the whole thing? *Why should I?* Because I don’t know. *Then I won’t delete It.* Fine. Then finally Dashie come flying down to me. “How was that?” Amazing.

“That was the most incredible thing I have ever seen, the sonic rainboom was so awesome and that other amazing thing with the really light explosion was so awesome it’s really hard to describe, what was it called again?” True story bro. *I believe you mon* A troll voice? That was new.

“It’s called the buccaneer blaze.” Called it. *It was kind of obvious.* Yeah, yeah whatever. “I said I was good, did that proved it to you?”

“Oh yes it did. Those tricks also made my life 20% cooler, for real.”

“Well that is what is supposed to happen you know?” Oh I know alright.

“I’m sure, because it’s what it did.” Then her stomach makes a huge growl.

“I guess I’m getting hungry, want to get something to eat?”

“But I don’t have any money.”

“But I can pay, it’s no problem really.”

“I don’t want to overuse our friendship, since we only met the other day.”

“Well, I force you then.” That is a very ridiculous grin she has on her face. *Well she just forced you to let her pay for your food.* I guess that’s true.

“Ok then I will let you pay for my food this time, but I promise I must pay you back sometime.”

“I will keep you too that.” I’m sure.

“I don’t want to cheat my friends you know?” She cringed as I said that. Why would she cringe? *Because you said friend, she likes you remember?* Forgot that.

“I know what you mean.” You do? I would never have believed that. *Why do you feel the need to be sarcastic in your head?* Fun? *OK…*



Well we went to the restaurant and began to ate and we had a nice chat, and no I won’t tell you about it, because I don’t want to since its personal stuff. The time is now after the fact.



“Dave, do you want come to my place to hang out?” I knew the cloud-walking spell would be useful.

“Sure! Sounds like fun and besides we don’t need to go to Twilight for a spell since I asked her about that this morning.”

“You thought that long ahead? Even though you didn’t know if you would be invited?”

“Pretty much.”

“That’s cool.” Thank you RD. *”Love is in the air, starts playing.”* Oh god why are you doing this to me? *It’s fun.* Ugh. What’s the time anyway? *8pm, why do you care?* 8pm? Already? That day went fast, and why is the sun still up? *Didn’t you notice the other days that the sun goes down 9pm?* Can’t say I did. *Oh.*

“Get on my back and I will take you there.” *”The song is still playing.”* You are so good at timing these awkward moments, you know that right? *That’s the point you know?*

“Ok.” I then get on her back (don’t ask me how) and she starts flying towards her house.

That was a fast ride. Well I guess that’s what happens when the fastest flier in Equestria gives you a ride. Those rainbow waterfalls on her house look amazing! Almost as amazing as Rainbow herself looks. Dave you must keep your cool. Alright, let’s do this, LEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEENKINS!!! *You just had to pull that?* Yes of course I did. “And we are here.”

“Looks like it.” We both smile. Then she starts to blush. Why did she feel the need to blush? *Don’t ask me I have no idea, ask him.* Who? *Never mind, it’s nothing.* FINE…

She then opens her door and the first thing that happens when she walks inside is that she collapses. “OH my god! Dashie are you ok?”

“I’m fine. I’m just tired from doing all those tricks and then eating a big meal, you know how it is right?”

“I guess so. Well let’s carry you to the bedroom so you can get some sleep, which way is the bedroom?”

“The second room to the right, down the hall.” I then pick her up and start walking towards her room. I then put her down on her bed.

“Rainbow is it ok if I take the couch? I really see no way to get to Twilight’s so I hope that’s ok.”

“It’s fine. Just don’t destroy it.”

“I won’t destroy it, I promise.”

“Pinkie promise?”

“What now?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“Ok then, Goodnight Dashie.”

“Goodnight Dave.” I then start walking towards the living room; I walked into the wrong room. Oops that was not needed. Now where is the living room? I then walk into a big room and I see a couch. I walk towards it and lay down on it. Damn it, this couch is also too small. Guess I will just sleep on the floor again. Oh that is really comfortable actually. *Goodnight Dave.* Goodnight brain. I then quickly fall off to sleep.
