More In Common Than We Thought

... The Two End Up Closer Than Ever

Alrighty! Welcome to Chapter 4 of this fic! This is going to start out with Dr. Whooves, Dark Flames, and Chromatic Reverb arriving to Ghastly Gorge at night. I'm quite surprised that there's no negative feedback yet in the comments. I thought you all would hate the fact that I'm writing a RainbowXOC fic. If not, I guess I'm writing the fic well. Anyways, let's get this started.

---

"Be careful and stay quiet," Dr. Whooves whispered extremely quietly. "The quarray eels are heavy sleepers, but if one wakes up, all the others will. Plus, we have to worry about rockfalls."

Dark and Chrome nodded. All three of them knew that the risk for rockfalls were brought down a little, since Swift and Rainbow zipped through earlier, but they weren't taking any chances. The three ponies started their trek through the gorge, moving quickly but carefully. The only thing they could hear was their own hoofsteps. The quarray eels were surprisingly silent, as no snoring was heard from their caves.

"If anything, Swift would've saved or been save by Rainbow Dash and would probably be stuck in a cave," Dr. Whooves infered, still whispering.

"Why do you say that, Doc?" Dark asked, also whispering.

"Well, I know Rainbow Dash won't let anypony die, no matter if she hates the pony or not," Dr. Whooves answered. "I know Swift wouldn't let anypony die because of his instincts that he inherited from his mother. If he sees somepony in danger, they almost instantly kick in and he pushes himself to save them."

"Speaking of which, where is Swift's parents?" Chrome asked.

"... Dead," Dr. Whooves answered with some obvious hesitation.

The two unicorn only stopped in shock.

"I know nothing about his mother's death besides that she was murdered," Dr. Whooves whispered. "His father died of a diesease within the same month as when his mother died. I substituted as Swift's father. I was just 27 that faithful day, when Swift's custody was given over to me by his father. Swift was barely even 4 when both the incidents happened. But, Swift know more about this than I do, since he witnessed both deaths of his morher and father. Maybe, you can ask him about it."

Both unicorns were still in shock, but they had to put that out of their mind until they found Swift and Rainbow.

Meanwhile back in the cave, Swift had pulled away from Rainbow, who's mouth was agape and her face was blushed a deep red. Rainbow couldn't believe he just kissed her. Rainbow did her initial reaction if something like that would happen to her. Swift was knocked on his back by the force of Rainbow slamming her hoof in his stomach. The impact knocked all the air out of him.

"Ow, what the hay was that for?!" Swift asked when he finally could breath.

"Sorry, I hit you a little harder than I meant to, but that was for kissing me without asking!" Rainbow responded angrily.

Swift looked at Rainbow face. She was still blushing, but she looked furious. Then, that same look was replaced with a soft smile. Her brows weren't furrowed in anger anymore and her eyes were now half-lidded.

'Huh?' Swift thought in confusion as he got back up.

He was easily pushed right back back down, since he was still a little dazed from Rainbow hitting him.

"And this is me taking it right back," Rainbow said, as she kissed him.

Swift's pain seemed to disappear once their lips made contact again. Both of them closed their eyes as the kiss went on. The world seem to disappear the longer they stayed like this. Unfortunately for them, they had to pull away for air.

"What was I gonna' say before you kissed me was that I love you too, Swift," Rainbow Dash confessed, nuzzling Swift.

Swift let a deep chuckle as he smiled and stroked her mane with his hoof. They were in this embrace for a very long time. Then, something odd happened to the cave. Crystals hidden in the cave started glowing brightly, like it was to show their location.

"Whoa," both pegasi said in awe.

What they both didn't realize was this was activated by their own confessions.

"How do you suppose that happened?" Swift asked.

"I don't kn-know," Rainbow answered, feeling a chill hit her coat.

Swift let Rainbow wrap her forehooves around his neck again, smiling at her. They then noticed the crystals glow brighter. They blushed as they realized why crystals were glowing so brightly.

"The reason why those are glowing is because-," Rainbow began before letting out a quiet gasp.

"Because we're in love," Swift said, finishing Rainbow's sentence.

Meanwhile with Dr. Whooves and the others, they were just about to pass the cave where Swift and Rainbow were trapped in, until a small beam of light hit Chrome's eyes.

"Ow, what the hay?" Chrome said quietly, looking to where the light came from.

He went over and saw the two pegasi in an embrace. He would've smiled at the sight if they didn't need help.

"Hey guys, I found them!" Chrome yelled in a hushed whisper.

When he saw them come running he looked back at the two pegasi.

"Hey, lovebirds!" Chrome whispered loudly into the cave.

Both pegasi looked at the blocked entrance to see that Chrome was there looking at them with a smirk.

"Chrome!" Swift yelled happily.

"Swift, ya there?" Dark asked, peering into one of the open gaps.

"Thank Celestia you two are alright!" Dr. Whooves exclaimed, relieved.

"Well it looks like the rescue team is here, finally," Swift said in mock disapointment.

Chrome then casted a anti-sound barrier around the cave entance, so Dark could levitate the rocks out of the way. Swift and Rainbow walked out of the cave. Swift had took the cloth on his wing off, while the entrance was being unblocked. Not very much was said between the five ponies. They were tired and decided it was time to leave. Dark teleported all five of them of the gorge.

Later on that night, Swift was lost in his thoughts. He was just blankly looking into the starry skies.

"What are you still doing up?" a voice yawned.

He turned around to see Rainbow Dash standing behind him. He had offered to escort Rainbow home and she decided to accept the offer.

"Nothing much," Swift answered. "Just thinking."

"About what?" Rainbow asked, walking next to him.

"Just thinking about today," Swift replied. "How we probably wouldn't be together if we didn't get trapped in that cave."

Rainbow kissed his cheek.

"Well you can do more thinking about that some other time," Rainbow said tiredly. "It's pretty late and you need to get some rest."

Swift nodded. Rainbow had let him sleep at her house, since he had no place of his own. The two pegasi went back in the house to rest up for tommorrow...

I just now realized how freaking cheezy and cliched this chapter sounds. I'm not going to go back and change it though. This might be one of my shortest chapters, I don't know. Anyways, peace out everypony! See you in the next chapter!

You need to, it's a good story

Great story. I think you sped them into the relationship a bit to fast though. I think that if you extended the chapters a little, set up a more discriptive scene for while they are in the cave, and slowing down the story in total would have made it better. If you do decide to try this post it, and save it as a seperate copy that you work on from your computer, print it up, and have someone look over it. If you do this every few chapters you will be able to see what you have written, how you can improve, and what your writting style is compared to what you are trying to write. You will also have a complete copy printed once the story is done, ask hasbro, get a copywrite, and send it to be edited and published, and get printed.see how it works out and hope for the best.
best of luck!

806326 Thanks! I'm not really in any rush to try to publish or get a copywrite. Actually, I do this for the fun of it! I did have the first cave scene longer to the point where it told my character's backstory for story that aren't part of Humans to Bronies to Ponies, which are called 'What if' stories. I decided to take all of that out and add it in a later chapter. Most chapters I write turn out to be 1,000 - 2,500 words long, usually around 1,500 words. I will write longer chapters soon. In fact, next chapter might be around 2,000 words long, so look forward to that. Thanks for your opinion!
