I looked up to see a flying turtle. I shook my head knowing the couldn't be right. I blinked and looked again. It was a flying turtle. Dash helped me up.
"Sorry, this is Tank. He's my pet tortoise." She said.
"How is he able to fly?" I asked.
"Twilight gave me a magic propeller for him." She replied.
"Well. Remind me to where a helmet around here." I said.
Dash yawned.
"Will do. What do you say we hit the sack? I'm pretty tired." She said.
"Yea. Let's do it." I said.
"Sleep I mean." I said quickly as I felt my face get red.
"Well, come on then." She said as she headed upstairs.
I kicked off my boots and followed her. We entered her room. It was a bit messy. The bedspread was thrown off into the floor uncaring and there were a lot of tissues wadded up on the night stand, beside the tissues was a bottle of what appeared to be hand lotion and a suspicious looking long skinny box. Dash ran over and scraped the tissues into the trash and pushed the bottle, the tissues, and the box into a drawer in the night stand.
"Heh. Sorry about the mess. I haven't felt like getting out of bed until today, since you left." She said.
"Clearly." I said motioning to where the tissues and lotion had been sitting.
She hit me in the arm.
"You aren't to tell anyone about what you just saw, understood?" She said.
"Yea. I gotcha." I said.
"Good. You can hang your jacket right here." She said as she hung hers on a hook behind her door.
"I'm going to go use the restroom and change, then we can get some sleep." She said as I hung my jacket up.
"Alright, I'm going to go ahead and get comfortable." I said.
"Okay. I'll only be a minute." She said as she entered the bathroom.
I laid down on the bed and pulled the blanket up onto the bed. After about two minutes, she came back into the bedroom. She was wearing a pair of blue pajama pants and the same white T-shirt. She flopped down beside me and curled up next to me and I put my arm around her.
"So, any plans for tomorrow?" She asked as she pulled the blanket up.
"Well, I need to meet with Twilight first thing. After that, I don't know. Why? Did you have something in mind?" I asked.
"No, just thought we could spend the day together. After all, you never got a proper tour of Ponyville." She said.
"Yea, true. So, we have a plan." I said.
"Yep, tomorrow will be awesome. Ooh! I just remembered!" She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Tomorrow starts cider season." She said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's the time of year when AJ and her family make their apple cider. It's the best in all of Equestria." She said.
"Alright then. Sounds like a fun day. But, for now, let's get some sleep." I said.
"Right. Need sleep to have energy to get the cider." She said.
We sat in silence for a while before drifting off to sleep. It was the best sleep I had had since I left Dash behind at the Crystal Empire.
