//------------------------------// // That Awkward Moment // Story: The Blaze In My Heart // by Neon //------------------------------// Blaze is enjoying the party, but he couldn't keep his eyes off of Rainbow Dash. Every time she turned around, Blaze nervously looked away hoping she hadn't seen him. She caught him a couple times. Woah Rainbow thought to herself That new stallion looked at me a couple of times...is he interested in me, or is he just admiring my colors? Damn! she caught me again! Blaze thought to himself. He decided to stop looking before he embarrasses himself again. She's just so...captivating...come on Blaze, you can do it...go over there and say hi... As Blaze nervously walked over to Rainbow, he stopped and turned around. NO you CAN'T do it! You're going to embarrass yourself! Blaze turned back around and decided to do it. What did I say? DON'T. DO. IT! DO IT. What's the WORST that could happen? As Blaze was juggling these thoughts, he was turning left and right, Rainbow watching, entertained. "Um, are you okay?" Rainbow said, while snickering. "Yeah, I'm fine..." Blaze said, caught off guard and completely embarrassed Told you that you'd mess up dumbass! "So..." Blaze started "How you doin'?" "I'm fine," Rainbow said, catching on that he's trying to flirt. "How are you?" "I'm doing great beautiful-" Blaze slipped. THAT'S IT, I'm done, I can't be a conscious to an idiot. PEACE OUT Rainbow Dash blushed and looked away "I'm sorry, that was a little too forward," Blaze said. "It's okay, you're not so bad yourself." Rainbow replied Blaze got a spontaneous wingboner. "Hehehe," Rainbow said, "Name's Rainbow Dash." Rainbow put out her hoof. "Blaze, nice to meet you," Blaze said, shaking her hoof."You've got pretty eyes-" another slip. "Hehe, Thanks!" ...... oh wait, my conscious left. "So," Rainbow began, "What brings you to Ponyville?" "Well, Las Pegasus is nice and all, but a mixture of boredom, high taxes and a horrible past put together... you get moving as a result." Blaze said in a gloomy voice. "Sorry to hear that," Rainbow said. "Thanks, want a drink?" Blaze said "Sure!" Rainbow said. Blaze went over to the punch bowl, and got 2 drinks. He went over to Rainbow Dash and gave her one. "Toast?" Blaze said. Rainbow smiled. "Toast," Rainbow said. *** Blaze and Rainbow Dash talked together all night in a circle with the main 6, but mostly with each other. They talked for a long time They talked about their hobbies, what they're good at, and all around, about themselves. Rainbow spoke a lot about herself, she wasn't very modest but at least non of it was a lie. They're FAVORITE subject, was racing. "I love racing," Blaze said. "In my old town, I raced EVERYPONY. Won every single race." He tried to impress Rainbow, which, didn't work in the slightest. "I myself am a fast flyer," said Rainbow. "Won every competition ever." "Ever break the sound barrier?" Blaze questioned. "Pshhh, only a hundred times!" Rainbow replied. "How awesome is it?" Blaze said. "Best thing EVER!" Rainbow said. "There's something special about it when I break it though..." Blaze led Rainbow. "Oh? And what would that be?" Rainbow questioned. "Fire forms around me, like a comet. And anywhere I pass is left with a charred surface. That's what my cutie mark is, a comet" "NO WAY!" "Yes way." "You HAVE to show me!" "No problem." Man... Blaze thought to himself She is sooo much more cute when sitting 3 inches away from you. Those brilliant rose eyes...I could die for them.... *** After the party, it was 8:00 P.M., Blaze went home for the first time since he got to Ponyville. Rainbow took note of his house so she could go visit sometime tomorrow. He said goodbye to everypony, and winked at Rainbow. She blushed. "So," Twilight began. "How does everypony think of our new neighbor?" "He's...nice" said Fluttershy. "He's absolutely fabulous, I LOVE his mane!" Rarity squealed. "Ah think he's mighty friendly. A great addition to the town," Applejack said. "HE'S SOOO FUNNY!!!" Pinkie shouted, laughing, "He cracks me up!" "I really like him too," Twilight said. "How about you Rainbow, he seems to have taken a liking to you." "What do you mean he's taken a liking to me?" Rainbow retaliated. "He talked to you the most...that must mean something." "I don't think so, maybe you're just imagining things..." Rainbow said, lying. "He sure knows how to flatter us," Fluttershy said, "I'm glad he's...nice." The mane six were all talking about Blaze positively...Except Rainbow Dash. She was thinking critically about him. Does he really like me? Or is it just I'm easier to talk to? Why? Why did Blaze talk to me over everypony else? Rainbow juggled these thoughts all night and barely slept.
