A Tale of Two Pegasi

Part Two: Meeting Rarity

A white unicorn with a purple mane answered the door. She greeted us and let us inside.

"Hello, Rainbow Dash. Who is your friend?" Rarity asked, glancing at me

"This is Lightning Bolt. Lightning, this is Rarity." Rainbow Dash

I walked over to Rarity and said "Hello, name's Lightning Bolt."

"Hello Lightning, my name is Rarity." Rarity introduced herself

She looked at my clothes in advance to our introduction. I was wearing an old western blazer.

"You have interesting clothing choices, Lightning!" Rarity said oddly

"C'mon Lightning, it's getting dark out. We best be heading off." Rainbow Dash said

"Right! I'm coming." I responded, following Rainbow Dash outside.

"What's wrong with my blazer?" I asked.

"Rarity is just like that, fashionista and all." Rainbow Dash explained "Let's head back to my place, it's getting late."

"Ok, lead the way!" I said, taking off into the sky

She took off and we flew into the sky above to reach Cloudsdale, we entered the housing district and I overheard a group of ponies talking about me.

"Who's that new pegasus Rainbow Dash is hanging out with?" One of the ponies said.

"I don't know, but if he's with Rainbow Dash. He's got to be cool...." I heard another say.

"What's all this rumoring and gossip about me already?" I said annoyingly.

"It'll eventually turn into good things, now that you're running with me." She said enthusiastically, letting off a light chuckle.

"I suppose so..." I said.

Rainbow Dash stopped me and pointed to the house in front of us. I assumed it was hers. I opened the door and stood aside.

"Ladies first..." I said politely, holding the door open

"Thanks, Lightning." She said, walking through the door.

Rainbow Dash blushed, but hid it away so I couldn't see it. She said in her thoughts "What a gentlecolt he is, holding the door open for me. He must really like me, and I like him very much back. I'll ask him out for a date one night and tell him how I truly feel. He must feel the same way."

It was getting dark and I was tired.

"I'm going to get some sleep, Rainbow Dash..." I said tiredly

"Me too, I'm beat..." She agreed, then let out a yawn

We headed for her bedroom and she opened the door. Pictures of her idols, the Wonderbolts were splayed out over the room. Sitting on a bed-side table was a picture of Sptifire, autographed by Spitfire herself. I uncovered the doona on the bed, I took off my blazer and put it in my duffel bag. Rainbow Dash laid down on the bed and pulled up the doona. I did the same afterwards.

I loved Rainbow Dash, but did she feel the same about me?

"Goodnight, Rainbow Dash."
"Goodnight, Lightning."

We both fell asleep a few minutes after our goodnights.
