>Fuck, she wasn't supposed to react like this!
-
6.
>It's been five minutes after the movie ended, and Dash still looks like she's about to keel over.
-
7.
>Things started like any other Friday
-
8.
>Dash came to hang out immediately after getting off weather duty
-
9.
>You both had already decided on a movie night beforehand, so you prepared snack before dash arrived...
-
10.
>Which now sits uneaten on the table
-
11.
>Not much of an appetite left after... THAT
-
12.
>The movie proved to be too much for her
-
13.
>On the first half she tried to make a couple jokes here and there, trying to fight off the uneasiness she felt with a bit of humor
-
14.
>After the second half however...
-
15.
>After the movie ended, you'd stood up after noticing how much the movie had gotten to her, saying you needed to take a piss
-
16.
>You braced yourself, expecting her to make a retort about the movie having an effect on you
-
17.
>But she said nothing when you made your way to your bathroom
-
18.
>She said nothing when you exited your bathroom
-
19.
>So, you went to your kitchen for a glass of water, giving her some more space
-
20.
>... And because you weren't sure what to do
-
21.
>Glancing back from the kitchen to your living room you can see dash still wrapped herself in the blanket you let her borrow
-
22.
>Trembling
-
23.
>Your heart aches with every shiver that runs through her
-
24.
>It wasn't supposed to go like this
-
25.
>Maybe
-
26.
>You're not sure exactly what you were expecting to happen
-
27.
>Something funny maybe?
-
28.
>You just wanted to spook her a little while watching the movie
-
29.
>Not terrify her!
-
30.
>...
-
31.
>Well, you can't just stand in your kitchen staring at Dash, like a creep
-
32.
>So, you make your way back to the living room, trying to look as casual as possible
-
33.
>You even grab a pizza slice and take a bite as you sit and lay back onto your couch, next to her
-
34.
>The pizza is cold, no surprise there, all you can taste is grease at this point
-
35.
"Not feeling up for cold, greasy pizza Dashie?"
-
36.
>She hates when you call her that
-
37.
>Only Pinkie can call her that
-
38.
>Her words, not yours
-
39.
>But she doesn't react at the nickname, she just shakes her head and retracts further into her body
-
40.
>You can't stand this
-
41.
"Uh, Dash, you okay?"
-
42.
>"I-I"
-
43.
>She tries to speak, her words stopping suddenly, as if something had gotten lodged in her throat
-
44.
>She clears her throat and tries again
-
45.
>"Y-yeah dude, h-ha ha"
-
46.
>That's all she manages to say before falling silent again
-
47.
>For a moment she tries turns to try and give you a reassuring smile
-
48.
>What you see are her puffy red eyes
-
49.
>Was she crying? Fuck, you didn't even notice
-
50.
>You feel like shit
-
51.
>Why did she even sit through that if it was affecting her this much?
-
52.
>Pride?
-
53.
>Fuck it, you're not dancing around the issue anymore
-
54.
>Throwing the half-eaten slice on the table and cleaning the grease off your hands with a nearby napkin, you reach around Dash and give her a side hug, pulling her close to you
-
55.
>She jumps from the contact, but otherwise doesn't fight it
-
56.
"Dash I'm sorry, I shouldn't have chosen such an intense horror movie without warning you first."
-
57.
>You hold her close, burying her face into your chest
-
58.
>Again, she doesn't fight it
-
59.
>She sniffles a little, but doesn't cry
-
60.
"You're very brave you know? Not many humans could've sat through that whole movie, and we made the thing!"
-
61.
>You say, trying to lighten the mood
-
62.
>You don't think it works
-
63.
>Huggin Dash a little tighter, you start gently petting her head
-
64.
>Under normal circumstances she'd bat your hand away, mumbling about being uncool
-
65.
>But not tonight
-
66.
>"Is the turtle okay?"
-
67.
>She says abruptly, her voice coming a little muffled from being buried in your chest
-
68.
>She sounds like she's about to cry
-
69.
>No, the turtle wasn't okay
-
70.
>The poor creature got butchered
-
71.
>But you can't tell her that
-
72.
"Yeah, it was just a prop" you say, giving her a soft smile. Trying to convince her of the white lie "Humans love being scared, there are... entire fields dedicated to this crap! Just ways to make stuff look more realistic"
-
73.
>"It's all fake?"
-
74.
>Did she think it was all real?
-
75.
>Did she think was watching real people dying on screen?
-
76.
>No wonder she was so scared
-
77.
"Yeah, it's all fake, all movies are!"
-
78.
>That's technically a lie, but you don't own any snuff films
-
79.
>That shit has no place in this world
-
80.
>"You humans are bucked up" she says as she looks at you with the first genuine smile of the night, wiping away tears with a hoof
-
81.
"Yeah, believe me, we know"
-
82.
>You stay hugging for a while longer
-
83.
>You need to get it into your head that these ponies are delicate, no matter how brave some of them want to be
-
84.
>You can't just come into their world and traumatize them for fun
-
85.
>You have no right
-
86.
>And they don't deserve that
-
87.
"Hey Dash, if you want, we can watch another movie"
-
88.
>At that she tenses up
-
89.
>You rest your chin on the top of her head
-
90.
"It's one I used to watch when I was younger, it's about talking dogs"
-
91.
>Lifting your chin from her head you allow her to turn to you with a confused look and a raised eyebrow
-
92.
>You return her stare with a smile
-
93.
"Come on dash, let me show you that humans aren't all doom and gloom"
-
94.
>You both look into each other's eyes, you with a smile and rainbow with a confused frown
-
95.
>Dash ends up losing the impromptu staring contest by scoffing and looking away
-
96.
>"Fine, but it better not be kiddie stuff. I'm way too cool for that"
-
97.
>She says as she pushes herself off you, launching herself to the other side of the couch and fully lying down onto it
-
98.
>You get up to insert the DVD into the video player
-
99.
>Looking back at her, you see her finally reach out and take a cold slice of pizza, devouring it in seconds
-
100.
>She seems to slowly be getting back to her old self
-
101.
>Inserting the movie into the DVD player, you return to the couch with the controller in hand, sitting near Dash's rear hooves
-
102.
>In the blink of an eye, she pushes herself off her side of the couch, using the momentum to turn herself around so her head is resting on your lap
-
103.
>Smiling, you lean back and press play
