>Day Dash
-
>Nobody kicks clouds quite like you do
-
>Not as fast
-
>Not as accurately
-
>Certainly not as hard
-
>It isn't easy being the premier pegasus in Equestria but someone has to do it, might as well be you
-
>"She is just sitting there again" spoke one mare
-
>"As per usual" another replied
-
>Flitter and Cloud Chaser... ever jealous of your physical prowess
-
"I could sit on this cloud all day and would still get more done than the both of you combined" you call back to them
-
>Flitter was biting her lip about to say something but her other half spoke first
-
>"You have been a pain in the flank ever since you got that raise"
-
>You don't mean to hold it over their heads but somethings cant be helped
-
"Things happen for a reason fillies, the mares up top know when they got something special" you respond, unable to stop grinning
-
>Their practically green with envy
-
>Without missing a beat Flitter flips her mane from her eyes and locks to yours
-
>"This is exactly why you don't get invited to hang out with the rest of the weather ponies Dash, you are insufferable!"
-
>This comment has irked you
-
>The great Rainbow Dash hangs out with whoever she wants, when she wants
-
>Rising to your full height you level your gaze back down to hers
-
"Take it back"
-
>Flitter took a step back, but her companion rose to meet you
-
>"What are you gonna do if we don't" she taunted
-
>Extending your wings to their full length you leap from your cloud and land down onto theirs
-
>For all her posturing when you two stand muzzle to muzzle, she comes up short
-
>Your wings extending more than a bit past her own, your point is proven without words
-
>As all things should be
-
>"You just got lucky when you got that raise.... Rainbow Crash"
-
>Eye twitch
-
>Did she just say what you think she said
-
>Flitter seems to be mumbling to herself, unsure of what to do
-
>Cloud Chaser however seems pretty proud of herself
-
"You and me are gonna sort this out right now"
-
"First one to Ponyville wins"
-
>Cloud Chaser doesn't seem fazed by this
-
>"Why would I do that?"
-
>"We are on the clock"
-
>Horseapples she's right
-
>You have to defend your status though, cant let this go unpunished
-
"Winner gets to make the loser do anything they want"
-
>This may seem risky but their is no chance she could fly faster than you
-
>Her ears perk up upon hearing your terms
-
>"Deal, no takebacks either Crash"
-
>A vein could be seen practically popping from your neck
-
>Taking up position next to her you eye your destination
-
>You were probably a few minutes from Ponyville by your estimations
-
>Flitter stands across from the two of you on the clouds edge
-
>"Are you sure about this Cloud Chaser?"
-
>"What if someone catches us" she asks warily
-
>She didn't even spare her a glance
-
>"Count us down Flitter"
-
>Closing her eyes she begins
-
>"3, 2, 1... Go!"
-
>With a swift beat of your wings, the cloud beneath your feet quickly becomes nothing more than scattered ozone
-
>Picking up speed was not a problem with your lithe and athletic frame
-
>Another beat of your wings would carry you further up into the sky, your peripherals beginning to blur
-
>While you couldn't see Cloud Chaser, you doubt she is anywhere close to you or Ponyville
-
>Soaring across the sky you begin to worry
-
>What if she was tricking you, she was probably back there telling everyone you just up and left with no warning
-
>You gotta turn back before they suspect something
-
>you gotta ~fwoosh~
-
>While you were stuck in your head Cloud Chaser flew straight past you
-
>Her wake sending you careening down while your wings flap helplessly
-
>Narrowing your dive, you regain control as you lose more altitude to pick up speed
-
>No way you can lose to her
-
>You mentally shudder to think what she would do to hurt your pride
-
>No
-
>It doesn't matter, she isn't going to beat you
-
>Pulling up from your dive proves to be no effort at all
-
>Ahead of you, her silhouette is seen drawing dangerously close to town
-
>She has the height advantage but you are already gaining on her again
-
>Wings straining against the drag you press on
-
>The towns outskirts were but a few seconds away
-
>Not enough time, yet you are so close now
-
>So very close
-
>In you peripheral you could see Cloud Chasers underside as you both began to narrow, neck to neck
-
>This is it
-
>Your last chance
-
>You see a familiar red barn waiting to meet the both of you
-
>Flapping your wings as hard as they will flex you straighten your body to its utmost point
-
>Practically an arrow flying through the sky
-
>Your eyes barely able to open from the wind lashing at them
-
>And yet, to your absolute horror
-
>That two toned mane is all you see
-
>As both of you fly by the barn your passing kicks up all manner of debris into the air behind you
-
>An orange blur on the ground can be seen shaking its hoof at the two of you
-
>Extending your wings you rapidly come to a stop
-
>Ahead of you, Cloud Chaser is already waiting for you
-
>Dread
-
>"Well Dash, a bet is a bet"
-
>Struggling to even look at her you nod
-
"Yeah, I know"
-
>Her smile turns to a neutral expression upon hearing you words
-
>"Oh c'mon Dash, its not like I'm gonna make you do something crazy"
-
>Sympathy?
-
"No, do your worst"
-
>You raise your head and look her in the eyes
-
"You won so do what you will"
-
>Nobody looks down on you, you simply wont allow it
-
>"Okay Dash, calm down"
-
>"Ill come up with something later, for now we need to head back before someone notices were gone"
-
>Breaking your trance you look at the sun
-
>Horse apples, she's right
-
>In the distance you see the orange blur from before galloping towards the two of you
-
>With a gust of air under both of your wings you return to the air
-
>You both look back at the pony giving chase as you both climb back to the sky
-
>Definitely gonna get an earful from Applejack later about messing up the farm by flying to close
-
>A problem for future Rainbow
-
.......
-
-
"Uhhhhhhhh"
-
>Plopping down on your couch you let out all of todays stresses
-
>Stretching your legs and wings, you lie you down on your couch exhausted
-
>You haven't lost a race in like, forever
-
>To top it off you lost it to Cloud Chaser
-
>Now you cant get Flitters face out of your head
-
>Her big dumb smile as Cloud Chaser recounted the race
-
>Another battle for another day
-
>You wonder what she will make you do
-
>Hopefully its nothing too bad
-
>Maybe you can talk you way out of it...
-
>Ruffling your hair with your hooves your mind comes to a stop
-
>No
-
>A problem for future dash you reassure
-
>Turning your neck a slight soreness pangs up your spine
-
>You need to relief some stress
-
>Creakk...
-
>As if on time your door opens, your ears swiveling towards it
-
>Not getting up from your position you instead flip over onto your back, splaying your hooves aside
-
>Anypony walking by would see everything you have to offer
-
>"You here Dash?" calls a voice
-
>Saying nothing you instead try putting on the most seductive smile you can
-
>Hoofsteps begin getting closer as you strike your pose
-
>"What are you doing over he.."
-
>Standing over you, a pegasus with a green dull green coat is looking at you trying to hold back a grin
-
>"Whats this?" he says holding back a laugh
-
"I just wanted to welcome ~my~ stallion home"
-
>He puts on a more stern face
-
>"Okay Dash what did you do?"
-
>"Should I be worried?"
-
>Grrrrrr....
-
"I'm just trying to be sexy for you, not everything has an ulterior motive..." you trail off
-
>Setting a small brown parcel down onto the table he rolls over onto the couch up against your back
-
>His frame eclipsing yours, he pulls you against him with his hooves
-
>"I wont argue then" he says as you nuzzle your head back into his neck
-
>The stress from today drains from your body while another pressure begins building in you
-
>He nips your ear as you feel his breath against your neck sending shivers down your spine
-
>You cant help but rub your thighs together as a familiar heat rises onto your cheeks
-
>Being the little spoon always made you blush
-
-
>Next day dash
-
>Best and worst part of the day
-
>Waking up in a warm bed, followed by having to get out of it
-
>Memories of the night before floating to the front of your mind, you pull the covers of your bed tighter
-
>From the couch to the bed it probably looked like a whirlwind tore through the house
-
>Flipping over you are met with.... nothing
-
>Anon always left before the sun came up
-
>It didn't bother you much
-
>He was always busy and he never said anything when you were tied up so it worked out you guess
-
>Pulling the covers away you hop out of bed, feathers disheveled and fur matted
-
>Scrunching your nose, your fist stop would be the bath
-
>Shuffling out of bed and into the living room you spot a small brown box still on the little table by the door
-
>Anon must have forgotten it when he left
-
>You could give it to him later if you see him, though neither of you had plans to meet so it was a slim chance
-
>Trotting past it you continue to your destination
-
>Water pouring onto your coat, you go through a mental checklist for today
-
>Gotta pay some debts, visit Scoots, and meet your friends at Sugarcube Corner
-
>Its been a while since everyone has had a chance to get together and you were looking forward to it
-
>All of you either had jobs or responsibilities you had to keep up with but luckily the stars aligned and everyone was off today
-
>By the time you were done the sun had begun shining through the windows
-
>You needed to get moving if you wanted to get everything done on time
-
>Trotting back to the main room you gather up a small bag of bits, giving a side glance to Anons parcel, still on the table
-
>Maybe you should take it with you just incase you see him
-
>Sweeping the package into a bag with your wing, you fasten it and your bag of bits to your side and make for the door
-
>Soaring through the sky never got old
-
>The wisps of clouds sticking to your wings as you pierce through them
-
>It was more than second nature to you
-
>You think you could close your eyes and fly forever sometimes
-
>Maybe one day when you are rich and lead the wonderbolts it might happen
-
>Approaching Ponyville, you land on the edge of town
-
>Ponies complained when you did fly-bys to close to the buildings and you didn't need anything messing today up so you opted to walk
-
>Even on the edge of town you could see ponies going about their day
-
>Making you way through the street you don't see any ponies you actually knew
-
>If Twilight could read your thoughts she would probably give you some kind of lesson in "Friendship" or whatever, but honestly it never bothered you that much
-
>Having a small group of friends like yours was more your speed
-
>Besides, you would have all the time in the world to make more friends when you become famous
-
>Trotting into the town hall you are greeted by a short grey mare, her eyes never bothering to look up from her ledger
-
>"Name?"
-
"Rainbow Da-"
-
>"The mayor is waiting for you upstairs" she says cutting you off
-
"Oookay, thank you?"
-
>It was all you could do to not say something but you were on your best behavior, nothing was going to go wrong today
-
>Following her instructions you take the stairs to the mayors office, stopping to knock before you enter
-
>"Come in" a voice spoke from inside
-
>The mayors office
-
>"Rainbow, how are you?" asked the tan mare from behind her desk
-
>Returning the smile you approach her unfastening the bag of bits
-
"Good, Ms. Mayor, thank you again for letting me pay you back as slow as I have"
-
"Money hasn't been the best lately but I just got a raise so we will be square soon" you reassure her with a smile of your own
-
>Waving a hoof she gives you a polite laugh as you toss the small bag onto her desk
-
>"Don't worry so much about it Rainbow, I know you wouldn't cheat us"
-
>"I'm just glad no one was hurt"
-
>You lower your head in embarrassment
-
>A few weeks ago you may have had too much cider and you may have crashed onto the podium of the monthly town meeting sending it crumbling down
-
>It was hardly your fault and Trixie's fat flank being up there, lecturing people about magic didn't help either
-
"Yeah well gotta do what's right and all that" you say sheepishly
-
>Looking at the clock on the desk you realize its already 10
-
>You still have to check in with Scoots and meet the girls at Sugarcube Corner at noon
-
"Sorry Mayor but I have to cut this short, I still have some things to take care of"
-
>"Of course, come by anytime as long as you haven't drank any cider"
-
>Deadpanning you turn to the door and make your way back outside
-
>Passing the front desk you see the grey mare at the front still buried in her ledger
-
>Without ever looking to you she just gives you a snort
-
>Whatever you mentally chide as you took back to the streets
-
>Maybe Twilight needs to give her some friendship lessons you laughed to yourself,
-
>Passing through the market square your eye catches at a familiar apple shaped sign
-
>A small yellow filly running the stand waving her hoof, beckoning you over
-
>"Hey Rainbow, watcha doin up this earlier?"
-
>Do you really sleep in so much that other ponies notice?
-
>Not losing your composure you respond
-
"What's up Applebloom, where's Aj?"
-
"You aren't running the stand alone are you?" giving her a questing glance
-
>"Nooo of course not, she had to run back to the farm to get more apples, we sold out!" she exclaimed pulling out a big bag of bits
-
"Wow you all are killing it today" you say, eyeing the bag of bits practically bursting from the top
-
>"Yeah its been great!"
-
>"So what're you up to Dash?" she questions again
-
"Im heading to go check in with Scootaloo, her aunts are out of town so I visit her most days"
-
>She turns her head in thought before reaching under the stand and pulling out a few apples
-
>"I didn't know she was by herself, we haven't had a chance to meet up at the clubhouse in a few days" she says almost guiltily
-
"She knows ponies are busy and the Cakes take care of her so don't think she's helpless" you assure her
-
>Placing the apples onto the wooden counter she looks to you expectantly
-
>"Can you give her these, tell her they are from us and we'll hangout soon"
-
>Great idea, but before you grab them you realize you didn't bring any extra bits
-
>Mentally calculating how long it would take to fly back home and grab enough for the apples she puts them in a small bag and rolls it to you
-
>"Its a gift from us to her, you ain't gotta pay nothin" she smiles
-
>A very kind gesture no doubt learned from her sister
-
"Thanks Bloom but ill make sure to pay Aj back" you say, securing the bag of apples to your side
-
>"No problem, the cutie mark crusaders look out for each other" pumping her little hoof into the air
-
"Tell your sister I said she better not be late today"
-
>"Yes ma'am" she affirms giving you a small salute
-
>It was so cute you could die, but alas you had to get moving
-
>Giving her a final wave you continue your way to Scootaloos house
-
>Her home was as spacious as it was empty
-
>You hated that her parents left her alone so often but there wasn't much you could do
-
>At least she had her aunts, the Cakes, and you but it still wouldn't compare to a normal family
-
>It isn't long before you are standing in front of her home
-
>Approaching the door you prepare to knock but as your hoof connects the door is yanked open causing you to tumble forward
-
>"HEY RAINBOW!" yelled the small orange filly looking down on your now prone form
-
"Did you have to do that Scoots?"
-
>"Gotta keep you on your hooves!"
-
>"How else are you gonna lead the Wonderbolts?" she replied excitedly
-
"Okay let me up so I can get inside"
-
>Scootaloo practically flew to the ceiling excited just to be near you
-
>Rising up you turn to unfasten the small pouch of apples you brough only to find the pouch had loosened, lying on the ground behind you along with a certain brown parcel underneath it
-
"Shoot I hope it didn't get crushed" you say moving the apples aside
-
>Picking up the parcel, you fears are confirmed and the box is almost flattened, a faint crunching could be heard within as you scooped the remnants up
-
>"Was that a present for me?" asked Scoots
-
>What are going to tell Anon?
-
>You didn't even know what was inside of it and you certainly weren't going to see now!
-
"No it was Anon's, he accidentally left it at my place earlier..." trailing off, thinking what you were going to do
-
>A scowl immediately formed on her face as she grumbled something under her breath
-
>"Why did you get him a present?"
-
>"He didn't even remember to get it from you after you gave it to him!"
-
>Ehhh this again
-
>Scootaloo didn't like that you and Anon were together or whatever you would call it
-
"It wasn't a present for him, he just left it at my house on accident" you say, trying to defuse the situation
-
>"Yeah well its a lousy thing to do anyway"
-
>"I dont know why you give him the time of day"
-
>You didn't really know how to respond so you stick with what your parents always told you when you asked questions you weren't ready to hear the answers to
-
"You will understand when your older squirt" you reply, ruffling her mane
-
>"Whatever forget it"
-
>Placing the now flattened box on a nearby table you place the bag of apples at her hoofs
-
"Applebloom wanted me to give these to you and said she wanted to hangout soon"
-
>"Thanks but im not hungry right now
