A Rainbow's Tail

Endless Cycle of Surprie!

I open the door and walk in to the unlit living room.

"SURPRISE!"

"GAH!" Wait were did all these ponies come from? It looks like ALL of Ponyville is in my house. Except that's not possible. Also the 6 ponies I met are earlier are here. Wait, SIX? I thought I met... yeah it was five. So why do I recognize the 6th one? Wait... could it be? I start to walk over to them when that pink pony pops up out of nowhere.

"HiLightninghowsitgoing?Imadethispartyjustforyou!Areyouexcited!Ooh-"

"Slow down. Please! Can you try saying that again but one word at a time?" Come on, I'd like to use the spacebar...

"Okie dokie lokie! So I saw you early and I knew you were knew. That's why I made this surprise party just for you!"

"Wait, you planned all of this on ONE DAY?"

"Yep it wasn't THAT hard. So are you surprised?"

"Yeah. Definitely."

"Yay! Well have fun!" She gives me a hug before leaving. Okay... now where was I? Oh yeah. Heading over to those ponies I met earlier. I swear I know that alicorn. Except I don't know any alicorns. She looks like an old friend of mine, from Canterlot. Her name was Twilight Sparkle. She was a purple unicorn with a flat mane. It was purple with a light purple highlight.

"Hey Lightning!" All of my new friends speak at once.

"Hey." I respond. "So uh, who's this?" I ask, obviously talking about the only pony there who I don't yet might know.

"This is princess Twilight Sparkle." Says Dash.

"But you can just call me Twilight." She says pretty quickly. I guess she's not used to being referred to as "princess."

"Well hello Twilight. Have we ever met before?" I had to ask. I just couldn't handle it anymore.

"Uhm, maybe? You're from Canterlot, right?"

"Yeah. I believe we went to the same school."

"Oh yeah! We were lab partners. You're pretty smart."

"Thanks!" That was a pretty nice compliment I guess. "So, you're an alicorn now, huh?"

"Yeah..." She kinda blushes when she says that. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it?

"Well, nice catching up with you."

"Yeah. Have fun!" With that I head over to the snacks. Of course I do. Food is the best part about anything. I grab some cupcakes, which are AMAZING by the way. Then I spot Rainbow talking with... Pinkie, right? Anyway, Rainbow is nervously speaking and Pinkie has this HUGE smile on her face. She looks like she's about to walk in my direction when Rainbow stop her. She talks a little more when Pinkie nods and does this thing with her hooves. She crosses her heart and flaps her hooves like wings. Then she covers her eye with a smile. That was kind of weird but I decide to go back to my snacks.

"Hey Lightning." Woah. I didn't even see Rainbow walk up to me. "You got a minute?"

"Yeah, sure." I don't REALLY have anything to do right now. We head outside to my balcony, right after I grab some cookies. There really isn't anything on the balcony except a hammock. We lay side by side on it. We sit there in silence for a little watching the sunset. It's still warm out and it starts to rain. I don't really mind the rain, I love as a matter of fact. But I don't know about her. "You okay with this rain?" She asks me.

"Yeah. I was about to ask you the same thing."

"I don't mind it. It's still warm out." So we're both cool with it. We sit there a little longer in the rain. I look over at her and see those magenta eyes.

"You have really beautiful eyes." She blushes a little.

"T-Thanks... Wait are you flirting?"

"What? No!" I don't THINK that counts as flirting. Does it? "It was just a compliment!"

"Well, thanks... You too." We kind of just stare at each other. Looking directly into each other's eyes. She leans in closer and I do the same.

"Hi!" Startled, we both fall off on opposite sides of the hammock.

"Pinkie?" Rainbow asks.

"Oh sorry. Was I interrupting something?" I look over to Rainbow and she looks at me. We both shrug.

No, I guess not." I reply.

"Oh, well can I speak to you in private?"

"Sure, I guess." Rainbow walks back in but gives me a little smile.

"Sooooo, hows the party?" I turn to see Pinkie sitting on the hammock. I walk over and sit nexf to her.

"It's great!" I reply.

"Aw, only great?" Oh come on Pinkie.

"Alright then. It's fantastic!"

"A little better. So I see you're becoming GOOOOD friends with Dashie, huh?"

"Yeah, she's pretty cool and... hey now wait a minute." I didn't get it until now. She giggles at my response.

"Admit it you like her."

"Yeah. She wouldn't be my friend if I didn't like her." I joked.

"You know what I mean. You LIKE her like her."

"N-noooo... okay maybe. But you can't TELL her."

"Of course I won't. I Pinkie Promise! Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She does that hoof thing from earlier. I guess she made a "Pinkie Promise" earlier.

"So uh, does um, Dashie like me to?" I kind of blush when I ask that.

"Why don't you go find out?" She asks with a wink. That's a good question. Why DON'T I? I walk back in and head yo the bathroom. I need to dry off before I do this. Does she like me? There's only one way to find out.
