Chapter 5: Learning new things

Chapter 5: Learning new things
I awake to hear a knocking on my door. So I get out of bed and head downstairs to see who is making the racket. I open the door to a brown pony wearing a Cow boy hat and a yellow Pegasus.
“Hi yawl… the names Applejack… and this is my yellow Pegasus friend Fluttershy”
“Hi” quietly said Fluttershy
“Hi nice to meet both of you”
Applejack then turns around and whispers to Fluttershy
“Pinkie Pie was right he is Cute”
“Shh I think he might hear us AJ” whispers back Fluttershy
“So what’s your name” asked Applejack
“Oh yeah” I said a little embarrassed that I forgot to tell them my name, “My name is Shadow”
“So Shadow” Asked Applejack, “what brings you to PonyVille”
“I don’t know I guess it’s the sights” I lied.
“Well there’s no place like PonyVille that has the greenest and healthiest Gardens” said Fluttershy, “and the animals here are very nice”
“Well…” Applejack buts in, “We gotta get going and finish gathering the apples at my Ranch... So we will see you later”
“Yeah thanks for stopping by… but how did you know I lived here”
“Pinkie Pie told us” Said Fluttershy
“Well catch ya later” said Applejack
“Yeah Cya” I said as Applejack and Fluttershy leave
“Well I guess that gives me more time to see Rainbow Dash”
I head across the road to see if Rarity is still awake and I notice that she is still sleeping.
‘I won’t wake her up I think I will be able to find Rainbow Dash by myself’
I begin my search around PonyVille and it takes me a couple of hours to find Rainbow Dash
“Hey Rainbow Dash” I yell as loud as I can
“Yo Shadow” said Rainbow Dash as she turns around
“I was wondering if it was possible for you to teach me how to fly”
“Hmmm… what’s in this for me?”
“I could teach you how to do this awesome move I call the Shadow Vortex”
“Okay we’ve got a deal”
“Cool… when do we start” I said enthusiastically
“Right now”
“Okay let’s do this”
It took six hours for Rainbow Dash to successfully teach me to fly.
“Hahahaha I Can Fly” I screamed at the top of my lungs, “I can’t believe I can fly… Woohoo!”
“Ha-ha good for you Shadow” said Rainbow Dash cheerfully
“Now how about I teach you that move now”
“Na don’t worry about it I’ve already got enough moves to impress the Wonder Boltz with”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah I’m sure but how about you show me it instead”
“Okay”
I begin to charge in a straight line just like I did when I was fighting the beast, and when I hit the speed I was going when the Red and black speed lines occurred
“You ready to see this Dash”
“Sure am”
“Here it comes”
I begin to run around in circles until the Vortex becomes small enough to perform the final move. I use my new flying ability to travel up the vortex launching me further into the air.
“Wow this is amazing” yelled Rainbow Dash
Then I tuck my wings in and begin to spiral down creating another small vortex around my body until I hit the dirt. Dirt and smoke begins to fly everywhere like it did that night when I saved Rarity
“Hey Shadow where did you learn how to do that?”
“I learnt that move a couple of nights ago when I saved Rarity from that beast”
“Wait…. What you saved Rarity”
“Yeah its true”
“How come she hasn’t told us yet “
“Maybe she hasn’t had the time yet… It’s not one of thoughs things you want to go brag about”
“Maybe” said Rainbow Dash “you do know she likes you right as more than a friend”
“How you know?” I ask
“I was talking to her yesterday afternoon when she came back from your place”
“Wait a sec she told you that”
“Yeah… any why don’t you ask her to the ball that’s happening next Saturday”
“I don’t know”
“She would be looking forward to it as she does make the best outfits in all of PonyVille”
“Yeah but how do I get invited to a thing like that”
“I dunno I will ask Twilight for you but for the mean time go and hang out with Rarity… She loves hanging out with you”
“Yeah I will go do that… Thanks Rainbow Dash for everything today”
“No problem… Just remember to show her your new flying skills” Rainbow Dash said
“Yeah I will”
“Oh and Shadow call me Dash for now on”
“Ok Dash… see you later” I said as I zoom of to Rarity’s house
I reach Rarity house in a matter of minutes
‘Wow flying really does get you places faster than running’ I think to myself
I knock on Rarity’s door to see if she’s home
“Oh hi Shadow” said Rarity while opening the front door
“Hey Rarity how’s it going”
“Good” said Rarity while yawning
“Um… Rarity I was wondering….. If… you would like to go out for dinner somewhere tomorrow night” I said shyly
“Ummm…….. Sure I love to,” She replied while going red
“Sweet… I’ll pick you up at Six tomorrow”
“Yeah sure… I’ll see you then”
“Sure will… Bye”
“Bye”
I begin to walk back home to plan were we are going to go for dinner and I realize that Rarity will be wanting to go somewhere expensive
‘I should go ask Dash if she knows anywhere Rarity would like to be taken’
I leave my house in a matter of seconds and fly around town to see if I can spot Rainbow Dash around town
‘Agh were is she’
Just when I was about to give up on my search I see Rainbow Dash zoom past
‘Agh there she is’
I begin to chase Rainbow Dash across town trying to get her to stop but after thirty mins of chasing Rainbow Dash she finally stopped at Applejacks Ranch
“Hey Dash I’ve got to ask you something” I said trying to catch my breath
“Yeah what is it”
“I was wondering if you knew where Rarity would like to be taken out to”
“Well if I remember correctly… Last time she went to Pony La Graze she said” Rainbow Dash said before clearing her throat “The food at Pony La Graze was exquisite and ill like to go there again sometime soon”
“Well that was easy” I said “Well I better get going and make a reservation before they close… bye”
“Bye” Rainbow Dash said before I zoom of
