Crap. Crap. Crap.
Okay, okay, I know that it's only been three days since my last recording, but I think that this warrants another video. Okay? Okay. Um, here goes.
The Doctor asked me out to dinner.
I know, right? It's crazy. It's like he knew that I was interested in him somehow. Wait...you didn't know that, did you? Oh, no. If anypony ever gets ahold of this, and they see me, Rainbow Dash, the most awesome pony in all of Equestria...oh, Celestia...I hope not...Aaaaaagh...
Okay, okay...deep breaths...in...
...>heep<...
...and out...
...>hoo<...
...just like that...
...>heep<...
...>hoo<...
...>heep<...
...>hoo<...
...Okay...I think I'm better now.
So...I guess I just needed something to talk to, you know? To bounce my words back off of. I mean, the whole thing kinda put me under a lot of stress. You see, I've never actually been asked out on a date before, so I don't really know how it all goes down. Like, do I need to wear something? Do I need to use some kind of special etiquette? I mean, it's my first date, and it's with him, too. So what do I do? I mean, I'm getting kind of desperate over here. I don't want to screw myself over on the first try.
But maybe it won't be that serious. I mean, it's not like the food here at Aperture has a five star rating. For that matter, I don't even know where we would eat. Cave was too cheap to pay for a cafeteria, so I usually just grab my dinner from the kitchen and take it back to my dorm to eat it there. The Doctor told me not to worry about it and to just meet me at eight outside of my room, but I'm still worried...
I actually got so stressed a few hours ago when I got back that I sent a letter to Twilight asking for advice. I even paid for the deluxe shipping. But I know that there's no way that her letter will get back in time, even if she writes one out. So I'm on my own.
Cave won't be any help either. He'll either make fun of me or tell me to act like those sluts that live in the bad part of Canterlot. I'm too good for that. For that matter, the Doctor's too good for that...
Anyways, I think that I'll just act like myself. That's what they always say to do in the movies. I'm still not entirely sure that it'll work, though. It's not like I have any perfume or anything that I could smack on. Not that I'd use that stuff...ugh. Oh, well. I've still got some time to think about how I'm going to play this out. It's only...
Sweet Celestia, it's 7:57. The vultures are officially circling. Um, um...how should I greet him..."Hey, how's it going?" Nope, too casual. Um. "Good evening, Doctor." Too formal. Err...aaaaagh...
BOO!
AAAAAAAHHH!
Ha! I got you, didn't I?
Ah...heheh...>ahem<...y-yeah, you did. Heh...um, how did you even...
Oh, you left your door unlocked. I didn't think you'd mind me coming in to greet you. Right?
Oh, it's fine! It's totally cool! Heheh...
Are...are you okay?
What? Oh, yeah! I'm fine! Everything's fine!
You're sweating.
Um, I, I, I just went out for a quick jog before you got here!
A jog.
Yeah! Totally! Gotta build up those muscles, right?
It's eight 'o' clock at night.
B-Better late than never. Right?
Rainbow?
Yeah?
Close your eyes.
What? Why? W-What are you-
Quiet, quiet. Just do it.
O-Okay...
Good. Now take a deep breath with me. In...
...>heep<...
...and out...
...>hoo<...
Better?
Uh...yeah. Thanks.
Good. Now then, shall we get going?
Okay. Where are we-
>poof<
...
Whoa. What was that? It looked like a dragon's fire. And what's this?
W-We should really get going now...
"Always be honest. Tell him exactly how you feel and hope that he returns those same feelings."
D-Doctor...
"Also, even though it's your first date, don't be afraid to show a little spunk. Make him want more-"
DOCTOR!
Ah!
Let's - get - going.
Y-Yeah. Sorry. I'll just leave this here...
Okay...okay, good. You'll lead the way, I presume.
Uh...aren't you going to shut off that computer first?
Oh, right. Heh. Almost forgot.
This is actually very entertaining. I never thought such a random pairing would have so much appeal and still be amusing.
Onwards, my fair writer! TALLY-HO!
For some reason, I can't stop giggling.
Just sitting here waiting for GlaDOS.
2533533I am glad you approve! I was getting far too stressed over the Dash/Doctor relationship and how I would handle it than I should have, but I'm glad that you think that I did it well!
2533591At the ghosties?
2534130Don't worry. She'll get here eventually. It may be some time, but I basically know where she'll join the story. And it won't be happy. Stay tuned!
2534172 Heh. I see what you did there.
Seriously though, I am far too amused by this story.
2534172 Glad to know she'll arrive sooner or later, also I keep imagining Rainbow Dash running throughout aperture trying to get the morality core to GlaDOS while in snark to snark combat (tvtropes.org).
this chapter was funny
2534219Well, great amusement is better than none. I personally couldn't tell you how happy I am that so many people read it and enjoy it......t-thank you...
2534257I can see that too.And yeah, GLaDOS will get here eventually. The thing about introducing her that will be hard is the simple fact that it will turn the story in a very dark direction and I won't be able to work in comedy anymore. So I've got to get my funnies in now.
2535810Glad you liked it!
2542924 You still could have comedy it would just be darker comedy.
2542938...I guess...
2542955 Both portal 1 and 2 have plenty. Remember that.
2542975Ohh...now I think I see what you mean. Yeah, I'll definitely try to do that! Thanks, I forgot about those jokes.
2542988 Do not let it reach dwarf fortress levels of dark because while funny isn't meant for this. What you're aiming for is a middle area where most darkness is from implications not openly stated.
2543011I'll keep it in mind.
