Overprotective Sist... Friend

by Jhoira

Welcome To The Cloudominium (May 9th, Thursday evening.)

By the time that Rainbowdash returned to her home Flitter had obviously finished unpacking and was sitting in a cloud chair, obviously of her own design in the main room. Rainbow Dash took a peak at the title "Early Foal Educational Development" and she couldn't help but snicker at how she would have reacted had this happened before she talked to Fluttershy. The snicker caused Flitter to look up with a raised eyebrow and Rainbow Dash gave her a normal smile. "Hey Flitter, I gotta apologize for the weirdness earlier, but it's a funny story."

Flitter smiled and set her book aside, a normal Rainbow Dash was someone she wanted to get to know since they'd be in the same house for a few months. And she was one of Cloudy's good friends. "Oh good, I thought you were crazy. Do tell."

Rainbow Dash started her story while fashioning herself her own cloud chair for sitting in. "Well, you know how your sister calls you her special little sister?" Flitter nodded, completely baffled to where this was leading. "Well I didn't realize she was just being affectionate I thought she meant you were her "special" little sister."

Flitter paused for a moment before bursting out laughing, shaking her head as she looked at Rainbow Dash, true amusement reflecting in her eyes. "I feel like I should feel insulted but like I told Cloudy we've only talked twice before today. We're up to five times I guess."

Rainbow Dash grinned back at the Flitter, glad she wasn't offended. That was a good sign, she wasn't gonna get stuck up on little misunderstandings. Then Dash grinned a far more devious grin at her new house guest, turning over and laying back over the arms of her chair in an exaggeratedly luxurious way. "I didn't realize you were such a huuuuuuge fan of mine that you count how many times we've talked. Must be pretty amazing for you that you get to stay in my house for months!"

Flitter continued to snicker, shaking her head. "Oh, I most definitely am! I didn't want you to see my Rainbow Dash collection! Why else would I be so mortified by you setting up my room!"

Rainbow Dash had started snickering too, she was happy to get in on and continue the joke. "Oh! So that's why Chaser kept asking me to sign those pictures! I got a wing cramp! You better make that up to me!"

Flitter smiled a little wider, giving Rainbow Dash her best half-lidded gaze, causing the blue pony to turn a little red. "Oh, I can think of a few ways to repay you, how about a nice loooooooooong wing massage. Then after that I'll..." She trailed off, leaving the rest of the sentence to Rainbow Dash's imagination.

Her friends weren't so open to joking about such things which caused it to still embarrass Rainbow Dash slightly, but she'd had to get used to it at the Wonderbolts' academy, it was like every other joke over there. "You know Flitter, you shouldn't brag about being so easy." She said with a wicked grin and Flitter's eyes flashed, sitting up a little straighter, that concerned Rainbow Dash slightly...

"Oh but Dashie!" Flitter whined in a sickly sweet voice. "Y-You said that if I did it for you you'd introduce me to Spitfire!"

Dash couldn't help but let out a loud bark of laughter, hitting the arm of her chair with a hoof, producing nothing but a smooshed cloud though. "Oh! Nice one!" She grinned, to her the competition had ended there in Flitter's favor with that comeback. "I mean I come back with the "you're easy" one then you stab me right in the ego!" She leaned back, still giggling slightly. "You know you're pretty good at that."

Flitter smiled as she picked her book back up but didn't open it yet. "Well you have to be quick on your hooves to keep up with foals, and I don't just mean literally. They never stop asking questions." At Rainbow Dash's raised eyebrow Flitter smiled and lifted her book again, emphasizing the title. "I run the daycare in Ponyville Rainbow Dash."

"Oh, never knew that." Rainbow Dash shrugged then frowned slightly. What... What did most of her friends do anyway? Besides the other elements of harmony, and Starlight, her only friends were her old friends from the weather squad and from the Wonderbolts. She remained silent for a few moments, an indication that Flitter obviously took to the end of their conversation she went back to her reading, but now with an amused grin as she read.

Rainbow Dash frowned a bit, she wasn't so used to her friends ending their conversations abruptly like that, but she got up and kicked her chair a few times to get it out of the way and trotted over to the kitchen, riffling through her cupboards looking for something to make for dinner. "Ugh, why did I ask Fluttershy to do my shopping while we were training? There's nothing easy to eat in here."

"Easy to eat?"

Rainbow Dash jumped a little at the voice, though she knew it was Flitter it would definitely take some getting used to having another pony around, she couldn't talk to herself so freely now. "Oh, yeah, like stick some frozen hay fries in the lightning oven, or those pre-made dinners."

Flitter looked over her book at Rainbow Dash. "You have got to be kidding me."

"What? I like the easy stuff!"

Flitter snickered a little. "Yeah, so I heard, that's why you talk to Star Hunter so much." She put her book aside and hopped off her chair, bucking her chair in one smooth motion and walking over to the kitchen, looking around at the different options.

"I do not!... Wait really?" Flitter just shook her head, giggling and started to shoo Rainbow Dash out of the kitchen. "Hey! what are you doing?"

"I'm making us dinner since you don't seem to know how to cook."

Rainbow Dash looked quite bemused as she was pushed to the edge of the kitchen before Flitter returned to it, starting to pull things out of different cupboards. "Well fiiiiine, I guess I'll just go do something else rather than cook in my own house!"

Flitter called in a completely unapologetic voice. "Good, come back in about forty minutes then. I still need to get used to your kitchen."

Rainbow Dash could only stare for a good ten seconds then huffed, storming up the stairs to -her- room! It wasn't like she had anything better to do then! She could read a Daring Do book now, all the better for her!
