//------------------------------// // The Plan... // Story: Twilight's Cinderella // by FluffyWeirdo //------------------------------// It was now early morning, the rooster has let out the alarm, the sun was shining, and the birds were chirping their songs, but some ponies were still in bed...asleep. The only sound that filled the air was, silence...no hooves were heard, and no talking...Yeah it was really early in the morning, somewhere at five o'clock a.m...Where nopony woke up...except for maybe pinkie pie and a couple of pegasi that work for clearing the skies... *** Rainbow was sound asleep, she has been awake till two in the morning last night while tank was asleep, curled up next to her...Dash couldn't stop thinking on how she would ask that special somepony...she was a princess after all, so she had to ask before anypony else does...or else her special somepony would go with some pony else and might never confess her love for her. Of course she would ask her! If only she had the courage to do so herself.. Tank yawned, and opened his little eyes to see that he was in his owner's bed curled up on her back, while dash rested on her side, facing the left. Tank smiled, and slowly got up,hearing the birds chirping songs...and began slowly walking to the edge of the bed to see the outside of his owner's window, after a couple of steps tank made it to the edge of the bed and turned his neck to the right, and looked out of Dash's bedroom window, and saw a couple of pegasi moving clouds...tank soon realized it was now early enough to clear the clouds, and all of her weather team was waiting for her. Tank's eyes became big as dinner plates, he turned around to be meeted with his owner's feet, and slowly, he lifted his little feet and touched Dash's ticklish spot, her bottom hooves. Rainbow started giggling, and opened her eyes to see tank at her bottom hooves. She still felt sleepy, but whenever tank woke her up from tickling, she knew that she was late...for something. Rainbow sat up and stretched her arms wide. She stopped and put her hooves back down. "What am I late for?..." Tank slowly picked up his foot and pointed to the owner's cutie marked blanket. Tank then removed his foot, and looked back up to his owner...it took a little for his owner to finally realize what she was being late for. "What about my cutie mar-" Rainbow suddenly looked up with her eyes big as dinner plates, now tank could see she understood, Dash then screamed, "I FORGOT I HAVE TO CLEAR THE SKIES TODAY!" Rainbow screamed as she fell off the bed and landed on the floor, on her bottom. She rubbed her head, and looked out the window, and saw that some of her teammates were bright and early kicking the clouds away. "I'm late!!" Dash screamed as she exited her room, and went straight galloping to the kitchen. While her pet tortoise followed with his propeller. Tank watched as his owner was running around everywhere trying to find the box of cereal of the wonderbolts she had, she had been eating them ever since she was a little filly, and luckily there is still some today. Finally Rainbow succeeded and found the box of cereal. She poured on the cereal and milk on a bowl, and began eating away... Soon Dash finished her breakfast, and went upstairs to brush her hair a little. After a few brushes she hugged tank goodbye not before giving tank his breakfast, and zoomed out the door not before closing it shut. Rainbow flapped her wings as she looked everywhere to try to find one of her teammates that she saw working through her bedroom window. After a couple of minutes of looking everywhere she found one! Cloud kicker...she saw as she kicked the clouds roughly, and when the made stopped dash smiled and flew towards her teammate. "Hey there cloudkicker!" Dash said as she flew towards the Pegasus that was kicking clouds away. "Hello Dash! How's it going? Are you alright?" "Yeah I am...why?" "Well you usually aren't late for kicking some clouds out of the sky!" "Yeah..sorry about that, and heh don't worry about me! I'm fine.." "I see....well let's get cloud kicking!" "Yeah!" With that the two mares started working away. Rainbow kicked the clouds as hard as she can! Never stopping! Same with cloud kicker. That is until cloud kicker asked the question... "Hey Rainbow, are you going to the big event in canterlot?" "Yeah I am, you going?" "Yes! Of course! Why would I miss a big event like that" "Yeah..." "Has anypony...asked you yet?" "Not really...b-but I am planning on asking...somepony!" "That's good! Well good luck with that!" Rainbow nodded and started kicking clouds again, but this time with less force... 'How will I ask twilight? I mean I am asking a princess to go with me! And she is royalty! I hope mom finds a good dress...at least...But...how will i ask her? Maybe a card? Or something?' Rainbow let out a sigh, and began kicking the clouds with more force this time...like if they were the questions on her mind. They never have gotten off her mind since when rarity asked her that question... Soon everypony was done clearing the skies, and they went to go have fun, and do tons of other stuff they had in mind.. Dash didn't do any of that, she only sat at a nearby bench, near a little pond of water next to her. She looked at her reflection, a rainbow haired mare with magenta colored eyes...wanting to ask somepony that she has trouble asking. 'A card? Eh I'm not good at writing good stuff on there..or am i? ....what about me asking her? Yeah just ask her dash! That is all you need to do! But I just...can't!...I mean...seriously what happened to my confidence? Am I really this weak when it comes to asking some pony all the time??....why ask even? I can't slow dance...or do anything that would make me move move my hooves with hers...' Rainbow sat there for a while looking at ponies walking around her, passing by with their friends, and even some with their lovers....She stared at her reflection again in the little pond of water that was left near the bench after all that rain that had passed last night... 'I see a mare...that doesn't even have the courage to ask a question that keeps popping up in her mind...a mare that isn't very good at dancing...and if I was...I would just dance my way to courage and ask that mare I have been thinking about for a while now.. 'Hm, twi is a princess...so she must know how to slow dance...maybe...I can just ask?...' Rainbow's eyes turned as wide as dinner plates again, and smiled as the lightbulb in her head lit up with an idea that she could not resist. 'I can ask her for slow dancing lessons! And that way she might think I am into her or something, then I can ask before the day of the big event, and she would realize what I mean and say yes! This is the perfect idea I had since forever this week!' Rainbow stood up, and started flapping her wings. She took off to her home, to go tell her pet tortoise about the plan she had in mind for she has yet to confess her love for the one that always had stood up for her, the one who cared, for the one who she loved the most...
