Chapter 8

Rainbow Dash flew as quickly as she could to the bedroom, flipped the mattress over and threw herself on. She turned her back to the door and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. She didn't know how to feel about what she'd heard, but she knew she really didn't want to talk about it tonight.

Starcrasher walked in a few minutes later, head held low. He sat next to Dash and ran his hoof over her body. "What am I going to do?" He asked himself. "You don't care..." He sighed, looking down at Dash

She wanted to say something, comfort him at least, but she didn't know how to. She slowly rolled over and opened her eyes "what time is it?" She asked

He looked down at her "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you..." He stopped stroking her and got up to leave

"No!" She shouted, then composed herself. "Don't go"

He turned and raised an eyebrow "what's wrong?" He asked

She panicked, she hadn't expected him to ask her why, she had thought he'd join her without question. "You haven't cleaned the bed" she hated herself for that, she wanted to tell him that she wanted them to spend the night...

He hung his head in shame, and disappointment. "Oh... Sorry" he muttered. He collected a pile of cushions and laid them across the floor, wrapped Rainbow in a blanket, then placed her gently on the pile. He then started changing the sheets

Rainbow blushed, his touch was soft and delicate. She could see pain in his eyes, mixed with embarrassment. She knew she was torturing him. "Star, stop..." She said

He turned half-heatedly and looked down at her, putting no effort into his movements "yes...?" He whispered

"Come here" she smiled, patting the cushions next to her. "I need to talk to you"

He did as she commanded, but with no happiness. He was expecting her to tell him to leave, or that she was leaving, or... He found himself gently sobbing into the pillows, expecting the worst

She was shocked, but wrapped a hoof around him and pulled him in, so they were only inches from each other. "I heard everything"

He buried his face into the pillows, wishing a hole would open up beneath him and take him anywhere but here. "I'm sorry" he cried, "I shouldn't have said anything"

"Ah, come on" she joked "good pets don't cry". She instantly knew that was the worst thing she could of said.

Starcrashers face dropped, he couldn't be here anymore. Anywhere would be better. "I knew you didn't care about me! My life is just a joke to you, isn't it! You've been playing me a fool all this time!" He screamed at her

"Star, I..."

"Save it for fucking Applejack" he shouted in her face, then stormed out. He'd stopped crying, the sorrow replaced with fury

Rainbow looked at the door as he stormed out. It was her turn to cry.

Rainbow woke, and pushed her hoof out next to her, expecting to feel Stars warm body, but only grasped at air. She looked over, remembering what she'd done last night. She repeatedly head butted the pillow, screaming "stupid idiot" at herself over and over again. Finally, she got up and looked around Starcrashers house. He was nowhere to be seen, so she went down into the basement and looked around. Twilight was where she'd been left, looking expectantly at her, but she didn't have time for that bitch, there was only one pony on her mind. Seeing the dungeon was empty, she took flight and flew straight to Sweet Apple Acres, landed, the ran up to Applejack. "Have you seen Star?" She gasped, out of breath

"Sorry sugarcube, I haven't. What's wrong?"

"He... He left last night... I think he's annoyed with me"

"Why do you care? I thought he was just your pet?"

"He's not my pet!" She shouted in AJs face. "Why does everyone think that?"

AJ shook her head. "You seriously don't know?"

"What?"

"You treat him like a pet... You give him demands, he follows them. He does everything for you and you don't even thank him for it"

"I don't treat him like a pet! I haven't put a collar on him or anything!"

Applejack scoffed, turned around and walked off

"FINE!" She shouted "you walk off like the coward you are!"

AJ shook her head, not going to take the bait

Rainbow groaned to herself, then took flight. She flew back to the dungeon "Have you seen him?" Rainbow asked Twilight

"Who?" She sighed

"Who do you think!" She shouted

Twilight smirked "I know exactly where he is"

"Where!?"

"Prove to me you deserve him" Twilight said

Rainbow sighed "how?"

Twilights smile grew wider and wider "submit yourself to me" she whispered

"Wha...?"

"You heard... You will become my pet, so you know how it feels"

"No! You creep! Tell me or I'll beat it out of you!"

Twilight a smile grew further "That's not how you address your owner"

"Your not my owner!" She screamed "Just tell me! I need him back!"

"Why do you need him back? Can you not be bothered to find a new pet?"

"HE'S NOT MY FUCKING PET" she screamed

Twilight stopped smiling "then what is he? What does he mean to you?"

"I... I... I don't know..." She sighed

"He loves you!" She shouted "when will you accept that? Either tell him you love him back or that you don't, don't leave him clinging onto you like this!"

"Where is he? I need to talk to him!"

"Do you love him?"

"Tell me where he is!"

"Not until you give me an answer. Do you love Starcrasher"

"I don't know!"

"That's not an answer. Do you love him?"

"I... YES!" She shouted "are you happy now?"

"Do you mean it?"

"Yes"

"Then say it"

"I just did!"

"Say that you love him!"

"FINE! I LOVE STARCRASHER" she shouted

Twilights smile returned

"Now where is he?"

Twilight just stared up at her, smiling

"Tell me! Where is he?"

"Right behind you" she laughed

Rainbow slowly turned, to see him standing behind her

Starcrasher stared at her smiling "Rainbow dash loves me... Rainbow Dash loves ME!" He shouted with glee

She rolled her eyes, then pulled him into an intimate kiss

Twilight laughed "Great catch, Dashie"

Without breaking the kiss, Rainbow bucked as hard as she could into Twilights face, knocking her out.

Starcrasher broke the kiss, then stood back. "Did you mean it?"

She smiled "I never gave you your reward... But I'm sure you don't mind waiting" she said, brushing her tail over his face

"You didn't answer my question..."

She shrugged. "What is love?" She asked

"Dashie... Don't play with me..."

She hugged him, brushing his mane "You were naughty to run away"

"What?"

"I have feelings for you, that one day I wish to pursue. However, I dint want you running away from me"

"I wouldn't dream of running away" he stuttered.

"No, you won't" Dash said. " I love you, but you need to learn"

"What do you mean?" He asked

"I know you're going to enjoy this"

"Enjoy what? Dashie, you're kind of scaring me..."

"Be good and you'll be rewarded with free use of my body, but if you're naughty again..."

"I... What?"

"Please don't hate me..." She said

Starcrasher gasped as Rainbow attached a collar around his neck

4795775 ok

[Vertigo One]

Twilight may be maladjusted and sadistic in this story, but I'm not sur did she is heartless. She MAY well have done what she did because she belived manipulating them to focus on each other would be the least messy way to get out of her predicament. Or she may have actually been trying t do the right thing in the end.
