Short & RRBB’s Gambit PMs

Hey, how’s Canterlot?

Short&Hoofy

Is everything okay? I can get back home in a few hours. Faster if I have to.

What happened? How serious is it? I know I’ve been working a lot, but I thought you wanted some space to study and I didn’t want to disturb you too much.

RRBB

I’m fine. It’s not that.

Short&Hoofy

Did my mother give you any *yay*? If she’s done anything to get you upset, I swear I’ll buck her up so bad that she’ll regret having me!

RRBB

It’s okay! I’m fine! Honeydew, everything’s perfectly okay. No one has attacked Ponyville, your parents haven’t humbled at me, the site hasn’t exploded. Im just sitting here in the garden with Pixel, he’s sleeping on my head as usual.

I just wanted to talk to you. Because I miss you.

Short&Hoofy

Oh, Squishy :) *hugs and nibbles ear*

I miss you too. Sorry for going in panic mode. You usually never write to me when I go to therapy, so I thought something was wrong. My session finished ten minutes ago, but I was thinking of going to see Luna and number1 to discuss some business stuff. If you want I can skip that and go home on the express. Want me to do that?

RRBB

No, it’s fine. I know how much that means to you, and to be honest it means a lot to me too. In a way that’s what I’m calling about.

Short&Hoofy

Oh? Now I’m intrigued :)

RRBB

I feel so uncomfortable asking this, but...what do you think about...having some fun in the dreamscape? I’ve sort of been practicing dreamscaping a bit. O:)

Short&Hoofy

Hmmm. Go on? ;)

RRBB

Must you always do that? You know completely what I, getting at!

So do you want to try it? I’m not as good as Simile, but I think I could do thing dim the dreamscape... at least enter your dreams so we can have a bit of fun. And I learned the basics from Princess Luna, so it’s perfectly safe.

Short&Hoofy

I don’t know... do I want to if it’s perfectly safe? ;P

RRBB

You’re terrible!

Short&Hoofy

Only when I’m not with you *tickles hoof*

And I would most definitely want to try it :) You know I like when you spend a lot of effort doing things for me. Remembering what you went through to woo me still sends shivers through my mane.

RRBB

Shivers through your mane? :/ Weren’t you supposed to be an editor or something?

Short&Hoofy

You think I’m joking?

RRBB

-.-

Short&Hoofy

I’ll prove it to you! Just when I get back! You’re glow is so strong when we’re together that it electrifies my mane. Literally! I blame your fluffiness and the extreme snuggling you subject me to.

RRBB

Dew, I’m trying to be serious. :/

Short&Hoofy

So am I! How about this. I’ll finish here fast, then get some caramelled petals, pickled oranges, and that chocolate hay you like, then we’ll have a very, very romantic evening...and I’ll show you just how staticky you make me. :)

And then after we’re so tired we can’t stay awake, we’ll go to the dreamscape and you’ll show me what you had in mind ;)

RRBB

Dew... I don’t have your stamina... you know I’d like that, but I don’t want disappoint you. You’re so special to me and...

Okay, you extorted. :) You win. Just promise you’ll focus on things in the dreamscape? I want to do something that will make things extra special O:)

Short&Hoofy

*nibbles ear*

And I want to make things extra special as well. I’ll get some chocolate mint ice cream (the really good stuff). ;)

There’s only one problem I see with all that, though...

RRBB

What? :(

Short&Hoofy

There’s so much time till tonight... I, not sue I’ll manage to survive until then. Maybe you could send me a few hints what exactly you have planned? And don’t be shy on the details. :P

RRBB

I can’t take you serious when you’re like this! But okay... I thought it would be interesting to try something neither of us will be able to do in the earl world. Being in a cloud. And I do mean in, not on. No cloud walking spells, no levitating, I’m talking about actual cloud swimming. (DaBoss took one once when I was a filly. I remember how fascinating it was.

Now we’ll get to experience it, but we won’t be just swimming... And please don’t tickle me in the dreamscape. It will be difficult enough for me to maintain the dream.

Short&Hoofy

Anything for my princess. And you really are my princess. Each time I finish therapy I think I could have lost you. Just because I was so infatuated with YouKnowWho. She might be hit as Tartarus, but she isn’t you and could never be. You’re the sweetest thing that’s happened to me since ever! If there’s one thing that really keeps me going that’s you.

RRBB

I know. *huggles*

Even if you’re being unfair. LyraHands, PaintDrop, Brush... they have always been here for both of us. Especially PaintDrop. The things she went through to help us get together... I so glad she’s okay now, even if she never should have gone through what she did.

Short&Hoofy

Tell me about it :/ I spent half a day yelling at her for the idiotic mess she made. Of all the possible things. It’s a miracle it worked out! Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad at the result... well, not entirely. It’s ridiculous the way her parents are treating her. Next thing they’ll hire somepony to cast changeling barriers round her house. :/

RRBB

They aren’t completely wrong... Vertex isn’t terrible, but he has this affect on her, and how can we be sure she’s completely cured? She hid the whole thing for weeks. I just...

Let’s talk about happier things, okay?

Short&Hoofy

Oh, we’ll do more than talk ;) Want me to get something strong so we slip in the mood faster?

RRBB

No alcohol, please. I must maintain the dream afterwards, remember? And I want to be sure you’re in form.

Short&Hoofy

You are aware that you’re the only pony that gets to boss me around, right? ;P Well, you and Pixel, but he’s no pony.

RRBB

Just finish your work and get here quickly.

I miss you, you idiot.

Short&Hoofy

I know. I’ll be there soon and we’ll have the most magical night ever.

RRBB

[QuartzScale]

Here's where it goes bad. Here's where it goes so bad that it might turn out good but this moment right here. This moment where I'm sure Tiara had a chance to use that spark of chaos while Dinky uses the dream child through Luna. The combination of those two magical spells will instantly create something like the Tantabus.

[Magician-Horse]

Theses two are a ticking time bomb.

[AyanamiRei]

Whelp...this can only end in disaster

[redmar]

They should be more honest to each other about their plans since this is clearly connected to Short's ideas about a dreamchild. RRBB still hasn't told Short about the deal with Discord.
