//------------------------------// // It's Not My Time // Story: The Blaze In My Heart // by Neon //------------------------------// It's been a month and a half since Blaze asked out Rainbow Dash. From that day forth, they've been spending all their time together. Everyday they visited each other and had great moments. Blaze still could not get over those magical kisses. All he ever wanted was a pony to love, kiss and care for. Now he had one. Blaze had gotten a job working with Rainbow Dash, and since it had relationship benefits, he got paid more than average wage. They've found what they love doing together: They love baking cupcakes with Pinkie, even though they barely paid any attention to Pinkie: "All you have to do is take a cup of flour! Add it to the mix! Now just take a little something sweet, not sour! A bit of salt, just a pin-.....Hey, guys?" Pinkie asked. Blaze and Rainbow were in the corner, casually making out. "Hold on Pinkie, we're busy!" Rainbow said between kisses. "Oh, okay! By the way, why do you think they call it a hacksaw? You don't hack with a hacksaw...-" Pinkie said. "Quiet Pinkie!" Rainbow said. Yep, they LOVED making cupcakes with Pinkie. They also loved Walking, flying and eating together. As long as they were together, their lives, were perfect. Those brilliant rose eyes...I could die for them... *** Rainbow and Blaze never could stop talking to each other. They loved hearing each other. "So how you liking Ponyville so far?" Rainbow asked, while they were taking a leisurely stroll. "Much better than Las Pegasus. Over there, there are hookers EVERYWHERE. They always tried to seduce you..." "And you never fell for it...RIGHT?" "Right...I never fell for it..." Rainbow was happy, and as long as Rainbow was happy, Blaze was happy. One day the two met up, and went for an outdoor lunch at their favorite restaurant: 'Le dîner délicieux' a French cuisine "You're so cultural Blaze!" Said Rainbow. "Gracias!" Blaze said. "So," Rainbow began, "Blaze?" "Yes babe?" Blaze said. Babe was something Blaze had started calling Rainbow. She thought it was sexy. "Out of all the times we've talked, you didn't tell me the major reason why you left your old town." "It's kind of a long story..." Blaze said, his voice altering. "I have all the time in the world," Rainbow said smiling. Blaze became instantaneously sad as he had before, and again, a tear ran down his cheek. Rainbow noticed. "What's wrong Blaze?" "I...I can never forget...what happened.." Blaze said, sobbing at this point. "What happened?" Rainbow said concerned. "The main reason I left...was because of what happened between me...and my old girlfriend..." "What did that tramp do to you!?" Rainbow said. "NOTHING! SHE did nothing...that's the sad part..." Blaze had tears rolling down his face. "That bastard Discord! He...Took her away when he visited....I never saw her again...I loved her, so much...." **** Don't you dare touch her! NO...Get your filthy mitts, OFF OF HER! ...NOOO!...... With a snap of his fingers, Discord, was gone. **** "I am so sorry..." Rainbow began, "I didn't know. Anything I can do to make you feel better?" "No Rainbow, thanks, you being here with me, makes me feel like I'm in heaven... I love you Rainbow." "I love you too, Blaze." *** The two went out for a flying session, one of their favorite things to do. "Hey Blaze?" Rainbow asked "How about a little race? A rematch?" "Heh heh, sounds good!" Blaze accepted. "So, where in Cloudsdale should we race?" "How about...straight ahead, around the stadium, through that park, around that restaurant and to that gym?" Rainbow said while pointing out the locations. "Let's do it!" "1 2 3 GO!" And they were off, like that. *** "When are you going to fix the gas valve?" The restaurant owner said to the mechanic. "Tomorra afta-noon," said the mechanic pony. "What's going to happen? I mean, there's methane in the air!" restaurant owner said. "Nuthin at all, ah promise." Mechanic said. This was the restaurant that the couple were going to pass in the race. *** "You're not so fast after all!" Said Rainbow. "Pshh, I'm going easy on you," Blaze said. The two were trash talking (As innocently as possible of course) while they were racing. They were neck N' neck. "Sure you are!" "Wanna bet?" Blaze quickly accelerated ahead without trouble. The fire started forming around him as he gained speed every second, and eventually, he blasted off way ahead of Rainbow with his fire trail. He was a good 100 feet away from her. Hey look, the restaurant checkpoint! Blaze thought to himself. Rainbow immediately stopped in the air once she saw an enormous explosion ahead of her, right where Blaze was, with tears rolling down her face.... ****** "Everypony get down! My tail is twitching!" Pinkie said to the rest of the group in the park. Everypony followed Pinkie's orders, they've learned their lessons. They took cover and waited. Eventually they saw something. Blaze was twirling downward falling from the sky. He crash-landed in front of everypony, charred and burned. "BLAZE!?" Twilight screamed. Everypony huddled around him, worried. "Poor thing..." Fluttershy said. Rainbow followed the smoke trail and found Blaze and the girls. "Oh, my gosh....what have I done...?" Rainbow said. "YOU did this Rainbow?" Twilight asked. "Sorta....I bet him he couldn't go any faster, and when he did, he did his trademark fire trail....and then EXPLODED!" Rainbow Dash said while sobbing. "It turns out....the restaurant he passed had a methane leak in the air...." "When methane and fire meet, it forms an explosion...." Twilight said. "I feel so terrible...." Rainbow Dash said. Blazed coughed. Everypony surrounded him "Rainbow?" Blaze croaked. "BLAZE! Are you okay!? I am SO sorry!" Rainbow said. "Not really, and it's okay, I still love you, no matter what happens, know that...I love you..." "Please don't leave me!" Rainbow said bawling. "I won't, because it's not my time...." Blaze said, Those were the last words Blaze had uttered before drifting off into unconsciousness. ****
