"Thank you oh so much for doing this Rainbow Dash, I know it's a big responsibility and it means so much to me," Fluttershy said as she and her friend, Rainbow Dash, walked up to her cottage.
"I may not have your cutie mark anymore but don't worry Shy, I got this!" Rainbow says confidently. Fluttershy fiddled with the lock on the door for a moment before unlocking it and letting it swing open.
"Are you sure Rainbow? I don't want to over work you...," Fluttershy says, walking in Rainbow behind her. As all of the pink maned ponies's animals rushed to her, Rainbow gulped.
"Y-Yeah! I got it all under control. Just grab your stuff and get on your way!" Rainbow said as she began to push her friend back out the door. Fluttershy rushed her words as she tried to explain what to do to take care of the animals and to warn Rainbow of a few things. Only to have the door slammed in her face, suitcase at her side thanks to Dash's speed abilities. Fluttershy sighs and heads away. She'd put Rainbow in charge of her cottage and animals while she was going away on a trip to see the Breezies. Before being slammed out of her home, she'd tried to warn her friend that Shy's brother, Zephyr was in town and would being staying with her. But it was Rainbow's fault for not listening.
Back in the cottage, Rainbow settles down onto the couch. She flips open her newest Daring Do book and starts to read. Not even ten minutes into her reading session, she is interrupted by a loud knock at the door. Perking her ears up, Rainbow gets up and walks to the door. Opening the door, she frowns.
"Well hia there Dashie, is my sis off on her trip already~?!" Zephyr asks as he invites himself into his big sister's cottage. Rainbow huffs.
"What are you doing here Zephyr??" she asks in an already annoyed tone. He chuckles and sets his bag on the couch, squashing the neatly placed book. Rainbow frowns and snatches the book away and sets it aside.
"Now now Dashie, don't act like that~! Surely my big sis told you I was coming?" Zephyr purrs. Rainbow shakes her head.
"No no she didn't. I wouldn't have agreed to this if I would have known you'd be here..," Rainbow snaps. Zephyr grins and rolls his eyes.
"You and I both know that's a lie Dashie~ You love me and you know it. Your just in denial~," he says in a flirty tone. "I bet you'd go on a date with me if I asked~." It only pissed the rainbow maned mare off more.
"Stop calling me that you asshole! And no, I don't love you! Your the one in denial. An asshole in denial," Rainbow huffs and narrows her eyes. He laughs and messes up her mane.
"Psht. Yeah right. Your just covering it up~," he says. She takes a deep breath, trying to keep her cool so that she didn't split Zephyr's head from his shoulders.
"Zephyr I've told you over and over. I don't love you. Suck it up and deal with it," she says calmly. "Now, if I have to be stuck here with you for just tonight while Fluttershy is away on her trip, then I'm going to need my personal space." Zephyr rolls his eyes and wraps a hoof around her shoulders. Rainbow growls harshly under her breath.
"This is going to be a long fucking night...."
Rainbow sat across from Zephyr reading her book. Zephyr hadn't spoken much, which surprised her but she wasn't going to complain. The snipping of his scissors and the brush of a comb against the mannequin was all that could be heard apart from the every so often page turn of Rainbow's book. Then she noticed something, Zephyr had moved closer and closer from his original place across from her without her noticing. She was about to say something about it until the cry of animals fighting broke out. What a great way to get a rid of-- she stopped her train of thought as Zephyr jumped to it.
"I got this Dashie!," he says as he charges into the other room. Rainbow winced as she heard him tumble to the floor from tripping on his tail. She rolls her eyes and gracefully flies into the other room, remembering that Fluttershy told her not to fly to fast around the animals, for it could make it worst.
"Alright Alright, break it up," she says as she separates the pair of creatures that had caused the racket. "Now, what seems to be the problem??" she asks in an officer-like tone. The one squirrel squeaks a reply that Rainbow didn't understand, but the way the creature pointed to the nut on the floor then angrily to the other squirrel across from it. Rainbow nods. "I see. Here let me help." she flies to Fluttershy's feeding room and grabs food for the angry squirrel and the rest of the pets. But to her dismay, she couldn't carry it all. She thought about just waiting and coming back for it, she then thought the rest of the animals might not like the fact they have to wait. Rainbow understood that, for she hated waiting for what she wanted. Down to last resorts, Rainbow does the only thing of, call for the man bun.
"Zephyr, get your ass in here, I need your help!," Rainbow calls out to him. In a matter of a few more thumps and the sound of hoof steps. Zephyr stood in the door wearing his sideways grin.
"Yes Dashie~?" he asks in a flirty tone. The tone Rainbow hated.
"I just need your help getting the animals fed. You think you can do that without fucking up?" she asks harshly. He chuckles.
"Of course I can do that~! But only....if I get a little kiss afterward~" he says with a growing grin on his face. Rainbow was about to come back with the harshest thing she could think of, until she got an idea. Rainbow Dash had a wonderfully awful idea. She grins.
"Of course Breezie~," she says with a bat of her eye lashes. Zephyr claps happily, thinking she'd finally given in to him. But Rainbow had other plans. They both picked up the food for the animals, Rainbow had been left with more than half of the load, but she'd get him back for it. After feeding the animals, Zephyr turns to her, expecting his reward as leans into her. Rainbow waited for a few moments to let him get closer. As he closed the last of the space between them, Rainbow reared up her fore-hoof and punched him straight in the nose as hard as she could. He fell to the floor and screeched in agony as he cupped his now bleeding nose with a hoof.
"I think you broke my nose!!!," he cried. Rainbow rolls her eyes.
"I hope so, it's what you get for even trying to kiss a mare with a coltfriend," Rainbow says with a huff. Zephyr snorts, getting more blood on Fluttershy's cottage floor.
"Soarin is more of a mare than you are Das--." Rainbow had him pinned to the ground before he could finish his sentence.
"I dare you to say it. I. fucking. dare. you" She growls in his ear, her hoof locked around his throat. He whimpered and Rainbow Dash let him go. "That's what I thought. You even so as to make fun of my Soar again and you'll be digging your own grave you hear!?" she shouts. He nods in fear, blood staining his muzzle. "Now go clean yourself up man bun" she says calmer now. He gulps and races up the stairs.
"Damn that felt good~!" Rainbow says as she stretches out her hooves. "Mental note, bring Soarin next time I have to babysit."
