CHAPTER 29
"WHAT." Are you serious?
"Yeah..." Dash said sheepishly.
"All this time, you've felt this way, and I never picked up on it... Why do you all keep falling for me anyways?"
"You're nice, considerate, understanding, a celebrity, a hero... And you were nice to me and got me those plushies and took me to a Wonderbolts performance, even after how mean I was." Crud.
"Oh. Yeah. Now it makes much more sense. But I didn't suspect you of liking me, Dashie... And I don't know how to react... Because I... I don't know..."
"She's really pretty, and nice too. She is a lot like me. Rational, but sorta like a loose cannon, and loves to party. She has quick wits, too. I was real nice to her when I first got here."
Oh my Goddesses...
"I think I like you too..." I turned a very deep shade of red. The first girl I like, and she's a pony. I feel like such a weirdo... But I really don't have any other options in this world, do I?
She apparently was having similar thoughts, because she was red too. We looked away from each other. The awkwardness in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"So..." I had no idea of what to say next.
"So..." Dashie wasn't her usual cocky self, but that was to be expected.
"Wanna... Go... Practice?" I knew she loved it when people cheered her on whilst she practiced her tricks.
She smiled, the red starting to drain from her face. "Sure. Sounds good. Let's go!" She jumped up and flew out of an open window.
This was going to be SO awkward...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat in the field, watching Dashie practice and cheering her on. I was glad that my first real date was going great, but then I remembered something...
"Oh no..."
Zephyr joined The Wonderbolts to impress Dashie.
"I completely forgot..."
He is going to KILL ME.
The color drained from my face, and I just sat there, staring into space. I couldn't do this. I was betraying my friend... But she likes me, and I like her...
"CONFOUND THESE CONFLICTING EMOTIONS, THEY DRIVE ME TO INSANITY!"
I tried to think of something to do, but all of the options led to Zeph wanting to rip my head off. I'm so dead...
Dash landed in front of me, and noticed I was troubled. She sat down next to me, and nuzzled my shoulder.
"Hey, you OK?"
"No... Dashie, this isn't right. I can't be with you."
"Wha-"
"Zephyr likes you, and I'm a human. I can't be with a pony. I'm sorry..."
She looked down to the ground, then up to me. She was holding back tears.
"I... I u-understand. You n-need to b-be l-loyal to y-your friend..." Her dam broke, and she was bawling. I looked away, the guilt starting to eat at me.
"Dang it, Kyle. You can't do anything right. You always try to help everyone, but you always mess things up." My mother had yelled that at me when I tried to help my neighbor with her groceries, but I dropped the milk jug. I gave the neighbor money to buy new milk, and he never got mad at me... But my Mom always expected me to be the perfect child.
I was in tears now. Dash had already flown away, and I was just sitting there, crying.
It's true. I really can't do anything right.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat in my home, contemplating what to do.
"I could just go back to her and apologize... But she is probably way too mad at me for what I did... Maybe I could tell Zeph? He might not get too mad... I imagined Zeph's face when I told him. Oh Goddesses. "OK, that's out of the question..."
I heard a knock on my door. I went over and opened it, half-heartedly hoping it would be Dashie. But it was just AJ, , Twilight, , and Pinkie Pie.
"Hey... What's up girls?"
"You meany-weenie! What did you do to Dashie!" Pinkie was shouting at me. Scary...
"What th' hay did ya' do boy?"
"Ugh... You see..."
I told them everything.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everypony wasn't surprised after my story.
"She had been talking about you a lot, and she told us all that she was going to confess." Twilight said in her matter-of-fact tone.
"Yes, but we never expected things to turn out like THIS darling!" Rarity, please stop calling me that.
"So what do you propose I do? I don't want Zeph to get mad, but I wanna be with Dashie..." I put my head in my hands, the stress was killing me.
"Ah' reckon y'all should jus' come clean." Everypony agreed.
"Alright... But... Do you think I could wait until tomorrow?"
"Why would you want to do that?" Fluttershy asked.
"Because I really need some sleep. It's eleven at night."
"Oh! Okie-Dokie-Lokie! Lets go everypony!" Pinkie herded everypony outside and closed the door. Thank you...
I fell over on the couch and was asleep as soon as my head hit the decorative pillow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I awoke the next morning, and thought of what I needed to do...
"Alright... My only option is to fess up." I thought aloud.
I walked over to my door, when somepony knocked. I opened the door, and I saw a familiar rainbow colored mane.
"Oh... Dashie... I was just about to go looking for you..." I rubbed the back of my head nervously.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you, Kyle..." She sounded relieved, like she expected me to be upset.
There was a long pause, and then we both spoke at the same time.
"I'm sorry."
We looked at each other, and laughed.
"Oh man, am I glad that's over." Dashie was getting up after rolling on the floor laughing.
"Yeah. Well I'm glad you're not mad at me Dashie."
"So does this mean we can still go out?"
After she asked that, I looked at her quizzically. I thought about Zeph, and made a decision.
"Sure, but I need to ask Zeph first... Just to make sure he won't hurt me if he were to find out."
Dash grinned. "Sounds like a plan."
Getcha some Kyle!!!
He's dead. You know that, right?
Oh this just keeps getting better and better.
No matter how times it's done, Rainbow shipping is always win/
60740
Yes it is. But really, I wanted Dash to fall for me for the romantic drama (Zeph wanting to kill and eat me) and the fact that me and Dashie have similar personalities. Like laziness!
AWWWWW!!!
But, in all honesty, this is the fifth Human X Rainbow Dash Fic I've read in a ROW. Still, I'd have to say this is one of the better ones.
I'm feeling bad for Zephyr, though, he's losing Dash the same way I lost my first love.
Meh, little uncomfortable there. Human x pony is disgusting and wrong, good thing Kyle isn't like that.
i can't wait till he kills kyle lol
*cough*TURNKYLEINTOAPONY*cough*
I cannot WAIT to see Zeph's reaction. There are three possibilities:
1. He's perfectly fine with it because he's realized he doesn't have a shot with Dashie.
2. He gets mad at Kyle, but gets over it.
3. He gets really pissed at Kyle and tries to kill him.
Or he could somehow banish him to the moon. How would he do that? Ponies. That is all.
well this is gonna end badly...
60753
Well, I don't exactly have many freaking OPTIONS now do I? I'm in a world filled with nothing but ponies, zebras, and griffons. So I will have to do with what I've got...
60761
We all know that for a fact.
60780 well... good luck to you sir you are doomed.... DDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMED
"Zephyr likes you, and I'm a human. I can't be with a pony. I'm sorry..."
REJECTED
60897
Well... I didn't want to hurt my friend... But that hurt Dashies feelings... GAH CURSE MY NEED TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY!
so sweet!
GOTCHA BITCH
xD
Great chapter, keep it up!
60898 You are terrible at this whole 'relationship' thing. First its Fluttershy () with Big Mac being a big problem and then its RD which leads to HUGE problems with Zephyr.
Maybe try someone which DOESN'T have a second crush. *hint hint*
1. That confession from dash... Wow... Didn't see it coming
2. What about my Shy-Shy's love? That kinda thing just doesn't go away, does it?
3. I can only expect that the cmc just went on some hell-bent rampage, what with no supervision and all.
61693
1. Yep. You weren't supposed to.
2. Well... I did talk about it with Shy, and even though she does still like me, we have agreed that we can be JUST FRIENDS.
3. Oh DAMMIT! Ummm... It wasn't me.
You said that wasn't going to happen! I TRUSTED YOU!images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/2/28/129118495211729425.jpg

Why won't any of you consider the fact that I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS. It was either date a pony, or live a lonely life. I would choose the former instead of the latter.
67168 I love u to dash... plus I'm out of options and you're my last resort
You could ask the docter to bring you a human ponified friend from your home universe

DJ 1NS4N1TY
those emotions made you a famous DJ in a magical world so don't complain about it
Please don't tell me that there will be any little centaurs running (or flying) around in the near future.
Funny. Zeph ususally in the comments section. VEERRY Peculier.
Zaph is nowhere to be found in this comment roll...
67168
Damn it i tought it was a flutter ship
67168 I ain't complaining.
To any haters, you should love someone for their personality, not their looks, I mean, I like pinks cause shes random and funny, not to mention almost impossible to make sad
"Dang it, Kyle. You can't do anything right. You always try to help everyone, but you always mess things up." My mother had yelled that at me when I tried to help my neighbor with her groceries, but I dropped the milk jug. I gave the neighbor money to buy new milk, and he never got mad at me... But my Mom always expected me to be the perfect child.
I'm sorry, I just... I need a moment.
I died here. DIED! For 6 straight minutes I laughed so hard I think I peed a little.
So far this guy has been nothing but absolute, mind-blowing, world-defining perfection. Everyone loves him. no one hates him, and those who do quickly see the error of their ways. He pulls new skills out of a hat seemingly every day, and is so good-hearted that everypony in 3 different cities thinks he's a hero. This guy is a Sue. No one's contesting that. (Don't get me wrong, I'm still having fun reading this Fic... somehow).
So when this came up, my brain stopped functioning for a moment. I get that it's just an example in his head, but come on! That's... Just think about that for a moment. The Perfect Guy (TM) thinks he's an irredeemable fuck up. And he justifies it... WITH MILK!
I... That's so underwhelming it belongs in M. Night Shyamalan's Big Book of Plot Twists. And again, I get that it's supposed to be a hint that his mother was an overbearing person who expected perfection from her children to the point that it became an inferiority complex. However until that very SENTENCE, we saw none of that. That was so far in Left Field it was in the soccer stadium next door.
Again, don't get me wrong. I'm having fun reading this. I don't know if it's because it's so cheesy that I read it as parody or something, but I can't help but smile when I read this. Which makes you successful, to a degree, in my book.
I just... wanted to point out the profound hilarity in this paragraph. It... it's distilled gold.
Well this was an awesome chapter.
