Twilight was playing with a new grey gryphan, Braeburn was cleaning up his home, the gala was about to begin, and some how, Rainbow made it all turn into a big thing.
On a quiet night in Appleloosa, a comet shattered through Braeburn Apple's window out in the middle of no where. Upon closer inspections, it turns out to be our favorite multi-colored mare herself. Now the cow-pony has to bring her back to ponyville, keep her hidden, and make her stay as far away from the hard cider.
Ai'nt no one gonna stop it when I sonic rainbomb it, Got Brae as my ride, I'm feelin preety high and fly!... hehehe, *ahem* like a thunderbolt hittin a wonderbolt I'm in whole lotta trouble get to twi's on the double I'm, im gonna puke, really soon yo brae where's that spit toon~!?!
"OUUF!" A yellow pony was thrown from his seat as a small projectile shot straight at his stomach. The glass still showered out as the loud thud shook the room. Lettuce leaves, apple slices and a shattered bowl partially covered/ littered the settler pony and his floor. Said pony was balled up, clutching his abdomen in pain, gritting his teeth as he rolled onto a few pieces of shrapnel and over his hat.
"sonafadamn'ed...." The stallion started to feel a new a new sensation around his hooves, and his stomach.
"YEOW!" He sat up quickly to feel the sharp pain increased. He immediately spotted the source of his pain, and did a double take. And took another again, and again. One more time as the little embodiment of a rain bowed sky released her death grip and slid near his thighs.
"Hey, you're that apple guy!" The Pegasus started her seemingly cruising pace up to his chest, past his neck and settled down daintily onto his snout an inch from his eyes.
"Hey! You can hear me right?!" The squeaky thing began waving it's hooves and flapping her wings into a big blur. "Are ya blind too!? Say something! Don't you remember me!? I tried to help the buffalo and you guys a year ago!?!?"
Braeburn gave a jerky nod, nearly sending the three inch pony tumbling into his eye. "Oi! Careful!" She stomped on the base of his snout causing a nice stinging sensation.
"Y-you're ma cousin, AJ's friend, r-right?"
"YES! You remember! I'm Rainbow Dash!"
"Okay, m-Miss Da-Dash?" He flashed a nervous smile at her, even though she couldn't see it given the fact that she was more absorbed in how his eyes got so small. "A-a-ah think am bout ta faint."
The tiny Pegasus flew up a little in shock and put up her hooves as he started to slowly tilt. "NONONONO!!!, please just, just calm down! It's okay!!" She shot over to the settler pony's ear and started to scratch, hug, sing, whatever to calm down her only life line.
"~Hush lil pony, it's alright, Rainbow Dash's gonna need you help tonight.~"
"That ain't helpin'!" He could defiantly feel the rubs and all, but the breath of a tiny mare going down his ear made it much worse and he began to slip into darkness.
'BUCK' Rainbow cursed in her head. She flew off his ear, wincing at the occasional pain in her wings, to see his hooves starting to scrap the floor and his body starting to tilt at a dangerous rate. Then she saw his muzzle. Oh, daddy please forgive your little foal!
Braeburn's eyes nearly bulged out their sockets as a slight pressure came upon the fully aware colt's chops. (AN; is that what they call it?) A small blue blur came up to perch on his snout again, this time the front of her mane stuck into a single lock over wide magenta eyes. "You okay!?"
"uh..y-yah?"
"Your face is burning hot dude!" He glared at miniscule pony and her mischievous smirk.
"Ah don't like you..."
.....
"Now, wha in tarnaion happn to ya sugarcube?" Braeburn paused in his sweeping of the glass and food while RD sat on top of his hat, eating a chunk of apple pie form the shelf in his kitchen. "and wha are ya doin' in Appleloosa? Ain't ya suppos'd ta be in Ponyville?"
The little mare stared at the Appleloosian with an incredulous look on her face.
"Wha? Ther somethan on ma face?" He was responded with the mare rising up on her hind hooves while the front ones rapped at the air. The colt gave a half-eyed glare at her. "This ain't 'xactly the time ta be foolin round suga." She only shrugged and finished the last of the morsel sized piece of pie. Braeburn threw away the rest of the shards and food and trotted over to Dash, seeing as she didn't want to use her wings by the way she open them. Almost like it was stuck.
She jumped as a large hoof, the size of a carriage, gently stroked her main and tail. "Now then, wha happen'd?" The yellow pony gave her a smile that instantly clamed her nerves, even if it loomed a little too close for comfort.
"I heard that Twilight, the purple unicorn with the striped mane," He nodded his head for her to continue. " was working on creating new spells with a gryphon enchantress. So, I got curious and well, I kinda got hit by a spell that, I think teleported me here and did, 'this'". She gestured to herself.
"An the window?"
"I was chased by a bee..." The colt whistled at the damage the tinny little filly made; the hole in the window was a perfect circle with burnt edges and a small flickering of the colors of the rainbow. If he wanted to, he could've stuck his whole head through it.
"Am prutty sure it's long gone hun." He suppressed a shout as he felt the tiny mare jump onto his hoof, galloped up his entire leg and rested a little too close to his cutie mark and began to rub it. "What the hay!?"
" You know, I heard that you can make many dishes with apples in them like AJ does, right?" Braeburn had to focus his ears onto her to hear, and even strained his eyes to see the look of pure cuteness that was her begging face. He simply had to lower his ears at the sight and slowly turned his head a bit, no matter how enticing she was.
"Ya know, I did tire myself out before coming here, and pies make me really thirsty~"
"Flattery ain't get'in ya nowhere. We take the train, git ta Ponyville, and no side stops. Aj sent enough letters about ya'll and yer cider problems." Then the mare replaced her façade with a pout. "Now git from back there so ya won't fall, Rainbow Smash." He laughed as the Pegasus stomped on his flank and galloped up his spine into his mane and up, and popped on top of his head. She began pulling a couple of strands and trying them together as some form of make-shift harness/steering rope.
"Hi ho Braser, off into the unknown!"
The coal rolled his eyes before rearing back for a second and trotted out the door into the night. "Ya already wet ya whistle befo this 'hole thing, didn' ya?"
"Oh, you should've seen the way I flew with that rabid bee! It was like 'ZOOM' and 'FWASH!'" Rainbow proclaimed to no one in particular, she was just content with crawling and hopping around the rim of Braeburn's hat.
"That's mighty impressive, now try and keep it down Rainbow." The city streets in Appleloosa weren't as empty as the cowpony had hoped. All around him, there were clusters of ponies, most not even from here! But that wasn't what concerned him, it was the fact a few gave him a look over, and spotted the moving bundle in his golden locks. Even a few pones had took to stalking him, only to end up lost as Braeburn turned around each and every corner he could.
"I didn't even know I could do a rain boom like THAT! I rock!" She giggled to herself at the memory of how the broken window's crystallization was her doing. That was immediately ripped from her mind as she felt her entire seat whip around. Luckily, she held tight onto her mane-made harness and found herself dangeling close to the corner of the colt's eye. She watched the humongus organ scan the area, until a wave of wicked glee crossed her features.
"You have pretty eyes!" Spread wings out...
"Wh-YOW!" Braeburn quickly tucked her under is hat and held the eye with a hoof at the mischievous prank. After rubbing the sore area under his lids, he looked around to find all eyes on him. "Eheh, sorry folks..." He muttered before trotting away, easily picking up on their gossip.
The small Pegasus kept moving around in the yellow pony's hat before peeking her head out again to stare at the night sky.
"Why can't ya jus sit still?" Braeburn hissed as Rainbow nearly tilted the hat off his head. As he moved farther away from the onlookers, the familiar sounds of a double door slamming open made him stop quuicky before an elder stallion fell in front of him, Dash sliding onto his snout, wings splayed. "Do that again!!!'
"AH SAID NO MORE SALT FO YOU!!!!" The grey stallion angrily trotted back inside the Salt lick while the unconscious stallion fell into slumber there on the path. After looking at the elderly pony for a few seconds tiny blue hoof began slapping at the space between the cow pony's eyes.
"Can we at LEAST have a little drink?!" Rainbow popped her head into his vision, giving the best foal eyes she could. Even messing with her hair to give it a few youthful curls. And the voice, so high and cute, made it worse. Braeburn was so shocked at the face that he took a step back and screwed his eyes shut. "Prwetty pwease with apple sweds on twop!?'
'Luna give me strength! He cracked open one eye towards the moon, and then past the mare on his nose to a group of other pegasi staring right at him. More like the flying blue bug that hover/hung dangerously off his snout with a strand of mane around her wrist.
"Maybe we should, for a lil' while!' He added as the cyan flier did a summersault and laid sprawled out on the same spot. Dash perched her head in her hooves and gave a large smile at the colt. "...ya, you were drinkin before..."
The two passed through the double doors with two squeaks; one that sounded like hinges and the other, It was just two mugs!
~~10 minute lapse~~ "She's so tiny1"
"Like a parasprite!"
"Daaawwww~"
"Ya'll startin' ta drool." Braeburn took a sip of his cider from a hay straw. The bartender, plus a few other sober patrons, huddle together to see Rainbow dipping her head into the nearly full jar of cider and holding onto the straw, face up, with her hind legs.
She got a good swig and sat back up most of her mane drenched in the drink. Feeling a little adventurous, the little Pegasus jumped up into the air leaving a rainbow double eight in her wake, and nose-dived into a small chocolate cupcake that sat between Braeburn's hooves. After a few seconds, she popped back out, covered completely in blue frosting, resembling a bear with a crumb as a nose.
"Nailed it!!"
"Aww! She's so cute"
"She's so drunk!"
"Can I keep her?"
"Heck no!" The bartender startled all the ponies there, excluding Rainbow as she began licking the icing off her wings, full of appley-bubbley bliss, and the only two ponies left in the bar, too wasted to care. How the heck Braeburn stayed this long with his neighbors was beyond him. "It's finder's keepers here boys. And it's not like she was born this way, so she's not a pet!"
"Well, golly we know that, but what if Brae has some kinda weird kink?" The little rainbow giggled wildly to herself as she watched the three stallions get caught in a shower of warm cider. The yellow pony right above her started to babble on with a reddish orange face. The bartender slowly disappeared behind the counter while he was gripped with the same confliction that held Rainbow a few seconds ago.
The other stallions were roaring with laughter, well, a deep red and grey one was, a younger blue one was trying to get the liquid off his face with the red one's long puffy tail. If she was her normal size, they'd look like regular ponies, well, aside from the fact they're the equivalence to Southern Ponies. It might be the buzzing bees and hummingbirds in her head doing this, but they all looked much different.
Her body started tilting around as she took notes on all of them; the grey one had started growing a nearly faint trail of black stubble across his mouth, the red one had multiple amounts of thin patches of fur around his hooves, and the blue one's mane actually had a strand of grey in those black tresses, even if he was just a little older then Braeburn.
They started to get boring, plus their deep voices became too get to zoon in on, and Rainbow decided to look around her to touch her hooves on something solid. The yellow hooves on each side of her were in more detail then she imagined; they were mostly covered in fur, but she could see the rock-hard ends of them shine through, covered in shallow scratches that seemed like it was too thin for her to notice.
"Ah said 'it an't like tah!"
Loud..... The poor little mare looked up at the giant yellow pillar of fur as his voice sent waves into her form. His vest was off and in his lap, so she could easily find all the indentions of muscles on the earth pony. Every time he moved, she could see the mass underneath the fur move, and it made her a little scared. I never knew they were so big... She also didn't notice that when she backed away to the edge of the treat the side had started to crumble. So, without a yelp, the Pegasus slipped down, the icing making the descent into a gradual stop, and slip onto her stomach, making a nice blue streak. Then her eyes fell onto a tiny white cube in front of her snout, then turned to the much larger one behind it. It was almost as big as she was.
..salt?... The top half was already deformed at a slope with a clear liquid coating it. It almost looked like it was shaped into a couch...
"And you'd think that alicorn would cast a spell ta find you guys by now. Or at least told one of the princesses!" The blue pony grumbled as he sat between his friends and Braeburn, it was the only thing he could think of to stop the younger pony from strangling the two buzzed ponies beside him. "But ah still don't particularly believe that a bee would really chase her that far much."
"Ain't nona ma business what a bee does, but all ah kno is that I don't wanna risk a tiny drunk Pegasus flying around my house." The small beat in his head was only a warning of what was to come from the alcohol. The yellow pony bent down to take a few licks of his salt block, and froze at the fourth lick, tongue seemingly stuck on the spot.
The bartender and the blue pony gave curious stares at the younger pony; his ears fell down, eyes were wide, and his mouth hung open with his tongue still on the block. '...bad cider?' They simultaneously thought.
Then they saw what caused him to freeze like that. The blue pony's face turned from it's royal color to a darker purple, and the bartender crashed to the floor, laughing as though he was possessed by a hyena! "...uhhh..."
The other two got up to see what was happening, then both followed the dapper owner's lead.
"Ar-are ya sure ya aint got no kink Brae, ca-cause SHE sure as honey does!!"
"Brae~ I'm getting cold!"
~~3 minutes later~
A large white pegusus with red eyes and budging muscles and the tinest wings you could see was standing near the door to the train. In his hoof was a small opal he got from wrestling a buffalo as a reward. It was a good night if does say so himself. He tucked it into his pocket and looked up at Luna's night sky, absorbing his first day in the pristine little town.
"OUTTA MA WAY!" Snowflake's breath was knocked out of him as the golden blur slammed into his chest and threw him into the box cart, into a seat, and sped down the isle.
"YOU OKAY?!"
Even though he didn't see the owner of the squeaky voice, he still answered. "YEEEAAAAHHH!"
Candy apples~, sugar pops~, Pinkie Pie will never stop!
Pegasi~, unicorns~, they both love that earth pony ~~rn!
Talk about me~, I’m obscean~, but I’m a wonderbolt’s dream!
Rainbows coming from my tail~, you wanna race me? I don't care!
The little blue ball of energy sang as her tail repetatlly smacked the cow pony's flank. The settler pony had busied himself by mapping out the passing midnight terrain of the darken desert. His hat rested just above his eyes as his face gradually returned to it's golden hue. The rest of the cart was preoccupied with a mare and her colt, who both had long since fallen asleep.
Appleossa~,Soarin's dream~, Brae's so sweet cause he licked me clean! A yellow hoof gently taped the Pegasus's nose, causing her to release a fit of giggles. It repeated the action on her stomach, that making her giggles turn to full blown guffaws that nearly woke the young colt.
Braeburn ceased in his prodding of her being, causing Rainbow to sequel out in protest. "No. Now you need ta rest that cider off lil gal." 'And ta stop singin that consarnet song!'
The blue ball of energy crossed her for-legs over her chest in a mock pout. He scooped her up as gently as possible, laid on his side, and placed her on top of his cutie mark. She shakily got up onto her hooves, and stared at the larger in confusion to see a smile. "Tell ya what then sweetheart, if you can fly from there," His hoof pointed to the spot she sat on, then came towards the empty area under his neck. " Ta here, I'll even sing with ya. If not, it's nap time, capece?"
His response was met by a fitful of giggles and hiccoughs. "Didn AJ tell you? I'm the *Hic* best flier in the WROLD!"
"Then prove it Miss smash." Rainbow gave a huff of air, and shot two feet up into the air, leavening her signature trail. She started to tilt for a few secnds, before soaring away and doing a tight loop that hovered a few inches from the earth pony's head.
She stopped as soon as she had began, leaving the trail to pass through her in a smoke-like blanket. Her wings closed and she began to fall at a terrify rate. Then at the last minute, she had propelled herself upwards, and circled back and dropped to her hooves right in the spot where the cow pony had said, the space under Braeburn's neck.
"Told ya so!" Her legs were wobbling at a good pace, her head bobbing up and down,eyes fluttering open and close, wing tips tilting and flapping, and a blushing smile. She stared up at the earth pony, trying to see some kind of type indication that would boost her ego again. However, she was confused to see the pony, the one who always wore his emotions on his sleeves, wearing a blank half eyed face.
She was suddenly encompassed in two fluffy walls of yellow fur, her wings being effectively pinned to her body by the plush, and a furred, warm cheek that kept her from struggling.
"Ah guess ya did."
"What ar-" She was interrupted by a low humming that vibrated through out her form, almost like a purring cat. "Let ME- le-let meh-" The warmth of the colt's fur, the vibrating lullaby, the soft fur, and the tiring exercise she had done before, was making her eyelids heavy as an Ursa Major. She tried struggling, but the Appleloosian continued his wordless lullaby and cuddled more into the small Pegasus.
Braeburn smiled as he felt the Pegasus shove he way deeper into his fur and stop her little struggles. Even that small, he could hear the light snores.
'Now that's when she's under the barrel.' A grimace graced his feature, not noticing that the Pegasus had rolled over in his forelegs, ' and if she's like this, what bout when she's hungover?'
