Just Say So / Low Self Esteem RD

The OP that inspired me:
    >It took a drunk old mare to tell you the truth about Dash
    >She isn't pretty
    >Not to a pony at least
    >Her mane, her snout, her hooves, the shape of her wings
    >A dozen little irks and quirks that made her too homely to get past the friendzone with any colt
    >They always figured that's why she was trying so hard to be your 'bro'
    >She could never do better than another ugly monster

Here is what I made of it.

>It's been almost 2 whole years.
>The life you left behind is almost completely forgotten.
>You wonder about all the-
>Bump
>"Oh hey Anon, what's going on?"
"Hey Dash, up early today?"
>Well.
>Early for HER at least. It's like only fucking 10.
>"Yeah, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me to the new Daring Do release!"
"That's happening today  I'm guessing."
>Shouldn't that shit come out in two days?
>It's fucking SunButtday. Shit comes out on Tuesdays for some fucking reason.
>"It's at midnight, on Tuesday."
>Called it.
"Isn't it going to be in Canterlot?"
>That big-ass bookstore always does the releases.
>At least you could get some new books when you arrive.
>You've been meaning to get around to doing so, you just don't get to Canterlot often enough.
>"Is that a problem? I thought you had Tuesday off this week..."
>Wow, she looks like her parents were just murdered and she just recalled the day she was told.
"I do, but-"
>Fuck, if you say no.
>She might not be able to take that shit.
>"If it's a place to stay it's alright. I have a room booked for 2."
>Is she serious with you right now?
>This is almost weird.
>"Twilight was going to come along, but she had some 'princess' stuff to do."
>Why would Princess Books not go get some new... Books.
>Fucking princess shit.
>Only if you had some surefire way to dodge ponies sometimes.

"I'm gonna see how I feel, I might be catching something. Come back over around 6."
>"Oh? I hope you feel better, I'll let you be. I'll see you later tonight."
>You don't like lying to her, but you did cough once maybe.
>Only if life was that easy.
>You shrug it off while walking to the Treebary.
>Wait. That's gone now.
>Fucking magic and shit man.
>Castle.
>That thing is really out of place.
>At least it's now a fancier library.
>Books not going to get a book?
>This you had to fucking see.
>Knocking sounds
>"Oh hey Anon. what brings you over here?"
"Just coming by to talk, what's new?"
>"Come on in, have a seat. You would not believe what I have to do."
>Here comes those duties.
>You should get her a copy, presents are always a nice gesture.
>"You know the new DD book that's coming out?"
>Seems like she is serious about this.
>Why are you even here, it's not like Rainbro lies to you anyway.
>Shit you've lied to her quite a bit actually.
>She only called you on your shit twice.
>Fuck yeah.
>Top level ruses you've pulled on all the ponyfolk here.
>Apparently lying isn't too big a thing here.
"Yeah, Rains told me about it on my way here."
>"I'm glad sheee gets to go, but it's not fair."
>"She asked me to watch Tank because he's a bit sick and Fluttershy is is out of town."

>OH FUCK
>DEFCON 1
>MISSILES
>MORE MISSILES
>ALL THE MISSILES
>Is Dash trying to ask you on a date?
>Without being obvious as fuck about it?
>Wow.
>This is pretty fucking out there.
>It's not like anything with a dick wouldn't like to rail that.
>At least you might be able to get some pone-booty
>It's not like you haven't been porking some tail from time to time.
>"Yeah, but I just had to let her go. If I went I'd feel too bad about it, you know?"
>Mainly because you're a tad strange.
>A social status is all it really is.
>Wait.
>Purples said something.
>Respond.sh
"Yeah, being the princess of books and all. You have an image to upkeep."
>She has a giggle.
>It was rather cute.
>Almost all the things that happen around here are adorable as shit.
>"Well, don't put me on a pedestal or anything."
>Implying
"You can magics and stuff. PLUS FLYING. That's impressive."
>Shit, magic wasn't even a thing back home.
>Other than movies, games and books.
>Never forget books.
>"Oh ha ha ha Anon."
>"So why'd you come on over again?"
>Only if Butterstick was here.
>Rains could be behind that one too.
>Wait.
>She's out because reasons.
>Important ones at that, you were there.
"Just to say I'm going up with Rainbow, and I was getting you a signed copy."

>Aren't you suave.
>Gathering gifts for the mighty royalty.
>Sure as hell beats retail work.
>"Thanks Anon, here let me give you some bits to-"
"This is a gift, accept it as one 'Sparks."
>You have a hundred nicknames for all the small equines.
>Not 100% sure if they hate it.
>Wait.
>Books is approaching.
>Hug.bat
>"Thanks Anon, it's been a bit rough. It's good to have you as a friend, when there are so many who aren't."
>This bitch is now ROYALTY.
>The fuck she complaining about?
>Someone didn't like a hat she tried on as a child?
"No problem, y-you too."
>That was one long hug.
>Not that you minded anyway.
>"Well hey, I'll be sure to get you something nice on Saturday."
>The hell?
>Saturday?
>You don the most :| face you can.
>Clearly Twilight can see you're confused.
>"The two year anniversary of you coming to Ponyville!"
>Oh yeah.
>Shit, forgot that was so soon.
>At least it's a weekend.
>So you can count on Ponk to have some random extravaganza planned for you.
>Joy
"Wow, you actually remember that? I forgot all about it."
>It is Twilight, she would remember what color the pen was you wrote on the back of a stickynote underneath a fridge.
>A year later.
>She has a good noggin.
>"What are friends for after all?"
>That's deep.
"I'll let you get back to doing book things. I'll see ya Tuesday."

>With that you are off.
>Time for some face stuffing.
>Sugarcube Corner might have Pink Party there.
>You can ask her about plans for the party.
>Also those cinnamon buns are to die for.
>How the fuck does everything taste so good.
>Ponies and all their weird mysteries.
>You should learn how to bake.
>Might come in handy one day when you don't want to leave the house to have a biscuit.
>Alas, you have arrived at your destination.
>At least the town is small enough to get everywhere with just you feet devices.
>Open the door
>Get on the floor
>Seriously, you can't float, you have to touch the floor.
>"That will be 17 bits!"
>Look who it is, your favorite drinking buddy.
>If you had a drinking buddy.
>You just had some with her about two or three times.
"Hey Oil Spill, what's up?"
>Nothing
"Oils, what are you doing here?"
>Now that you are much closer, it's not so absurd.
>Just speak up faggot.
>"Oh hey Nonny! You have a secret cool nickname for her too!"
>Fucking Pinks.
>This cotton candy horse has 3many friends.
"Hey Anon, Pinkie just told me about the party on Saturday."
>Ah hell.
>Oil Tanker has a soft spot for parties.
>"Also why do you call me Oils from time to time?"
"No reason, just something from home."

>Time for some delicious buns.
>A bun to kill for.
"Hey Pinkie, I'll have a-"
>"Here you go!"
>areyouawizard.png
>How the hell did she know you'd come here.
>It's just how you like it too.
>With icing on time, and between the spirals.
>Top yum.
"How did you know I'd swing by?"
>Seriously, how the hell.
>"I knew you'd want to talk about the parrtttyyyy silly!"
>Her tramp-stamp was balloons.
>She knows everything there is to know about the art of party.
>Might as well make party plans.
"I take it you have the itinerary in order?"
>"You could just say fun plans!"
>Dat pony squeak noise.
>Do ponies have a squeaky-toy organ?
>You can ask T-Bone about that when you give her the book.
>"Hey Pinkie, I'm gonna get going."
>"Also, Anon. You should have a drink with me tonight."
>Oh dang.
>Such a selection.
>You have to meet Rains at 6.
"What time?"
>After some exchange of numbers and chit-chat.
>Plans have been made.
"Okay, I'll be there at 7-7:30.
>After you tell Dashcakes that you are going on a trip.
>A trip that is rather strange.
>Now she walks out of the shop, but before she does so.
>She turns back and says.
>"I have something to tell you tonight."

>Wonder what the fuck she needs to talk about all of a sudden.
>It's not like she knows where you live.
>Also not too much a mystery.
>You're like twice the fucking height of these creatures.
>Sure has it's perks.
>Except hide and seek.
>You and now horrible at that shit.
"Alright, I'll see you tonight! Take care!"
>She is now gone.
>Just you and sweet sweet diabetes.
>Pinkie is staring at you.
>It's one of those 'through your soul' kind of stare.
>panic.exe
"H-h... Hello?"
>"I'm so excited for your party!"
>You have like no idea what kind of shenanigans this pone has planed.
>"I'm not going to say too much, but you'll never forrrrgeeetttt eeet."
>Will there be a dead body.
>Last time that happened you never looked back.
>When a retarded burglar breaks into your house then guts himself on the insulated glass.
>That was not fun explaining that to the police.
>Who just kills someone and tries that as a cover up.
"I hope I don't forget it. You only get ONE two-year arrival anniversary."
>"I KNOW RIGHT! Twilight didn't want me going too over the top like last year."
>You never thought that a jello waterfall would be possible.
>She is one crafty pone.
"If you can top last year, then you are truly a goddess."
>You finish you tasty bun of the universe.
>Time to get moving.
>"Bye Anon! I'll see you later!"
>It's totally nap time.
"Later Pinkie, I'll see you around."
>Check time.
>It's about 2:30.
>It's not too far from home.
>You can get there in about 30 minutes if you walk fast enough.

>It's nice out today.
>Only a few clouds out.
>It's amazing that the natives control the weather.
>None of this forecast bullshit.
>The way home is almost surreal.
>The bushes keep moving and shit.
>All these rabbits and generic wildlife.
>Traps would be nice.
>Or a fence.
>A fence you can do.
>You need to remember to talk to that mayor chick.
>You practically own all this land anyway.
>Okay.
>A squirrel does not make those kind of noises.
>Are you being followed?
"Hello? Anyone there?"
>Silence.
>Maybe it's good no one is here.
>You look like a moron shouting at trees.
>The covering here is amazing.
>It almost feels like night time with these trees.
>Wait.
>That's a yelp.
>Some mare is not having a good time out here.
>You have caught those CMC pones out here playing tag.
"Hey, you guys get out of here. You shouldn't play this far out of town."
>Okay. You need to speak the fuck up.
>So you don't have to keep repeating yourself.
>That sounds a lot more like struggling than tag or some other harmless game.
>Either that's some straight up murder.
>Or someone is being assaulted.
>You can't allow that to happen.
>You fucking live here.
>It's hard enough to get people to come over.
>Err. Ponies.

>You don't need this on top of that.
>Sneak time.
>How often does someone get raped? Or generally assaulted?
>Doesn't fit the place too well.
>Everyone is usually so friendly.
>You also live kinda out on your own.
>Whoever is doing this might not know you live back here.
>Should you get help?
>What if you're too late?
>What if they overpower you?
>Okay, you're a giant to these ponies.
>What about if there is more than one?
>Shit. That could be trouble.
>It doesn't sound like there is.
>It only sounds like one.
>You can hope that there is only one.
>There can be only one.gif
>It's only about 3.
>The fucking sun is still shining.
>Crimes aren't expected to happen during the day.
>No one expects that shit.
>That's what makes it the time to do it.
>What if they kill them?
>Plant the body in or near your house?
>That would suck.
>There are plenty of ponies that don't really like you and would think that you would have done this in a heartbeat.
>SunHorse might not even be able to help you against a bunch of anger townsfolk.
>You have to stop this.
>Right here.
>Right now.
>How long have they been doing this?
>You think you'd pick up on this.
>You've seen trails through the woods that don't really go anywhere.
>This is bad, but since no one comes out here.
>It could be pretty easy to get away with it.
>They might not expect you.
>It's much quieter now.
>The victim might have given up hope.
>Time to step around the flora.
>It's now or never.

>You never could have been prepared for this.
>If you die here.
>It would have not been in vain.
>You see blue.
>Also a dash of a few other colors.
>Oh fuck.
>OH FUCK.
>OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK.
>Rainbow is getting assaulted on the path to your home.
>She's the closest thing you have to a best friend here.
>You could of stopped this.
>If you didn't want to be so fucking nosey.
>You could have prevented this if you just told her yes.
>She would have been happy, and the rest of the day could have been hanging out.
>Was she just waiting here all day?
>Until you came home?
>To see if you had an answer earlier?
>You had the power to not let this happen.
>What would her friends think?
>"Oh you just wanted to make sure she wasn't planning on fucking you?"
>"You couldn't just hang out with a friend?"
>"Now she's gone and it's ALL YOUR FAULT."
>Tears are starting to flow.
>She couldn't take seeing you like this.
>What if you can't help her?
>What if you're the last thing she sees before she is killed?
>What if you are killed right after?
>This isn't good.
>Something isn't right.
>You can almost feel it in every inch of your body.
>You have to act.
>You begin lunging towards her.
>You have to try.
>You make eye contact.

"Get the fuck out of here!"
>You jump into the scene.
>Like a badly coordinated Batman.
>You grab a hold of Rainbow.
>Mission accomplished.
"I got you, you're okay now."
>Hold the phone.
>It's JUST her.
>"You should of seen the look on your face!"
>She starts laughing rather hard.
"You know what? Fuck you Rainbow."
>You put too much effort into that line.
>Getting off the floor you dust yourself off.
>"You think me of all people would allow themselves to get in this situation?"
>Come to think of it.
>No, not at all.
"No, but that's still not funny."
>"Yes it was, come on."
>The more you think about it.
>Has she ever been in a relationship?
>Or are they just one night stands like what you do.
>That stamina don't quit.
"Yeah, you have just a huge line of stallions just waiting for the word, don't you?"
>That struck a nerve, a small one.
>But sometime too sensitive nonetheless.
>"Of-of course I do! I'm too awesome to have anything less!"
>You shouldn't prod, it's none of your damn business who is sticking what into her.
>It's not like it hasn't come to mind.
>You should ask one day after some drinks.
>Walking up to your house. More like a cottage. A shitty cottage.
"Well, I'm not coming with you to Canterlot anymore."

>"What?! Why the hell not?!"
>Got'cha.
>You smile a nice shit-eating grin.
>As mocking as you can possibly sound "Ha ha, you should have seen the look on your face."
>This is gold.
>"That's mean Anon, you're my best friend. There is no one I'd rather take up there than you."
>Her voice dies down as she says the last bit.
>A small blush too.
"That's why you shouldn't prank your buddies."
>Entering the not bad, but not good home you plop your ass on the couch.
"What time are we leaving?"
>"Tomorrow at 2 is when the train leaves."
>"Be there at 1:30 with your stuff?"
>That's doable.
"So how's Tank?"
>She has to know you talked to Twilight now.
>"Umm... Why, why do you ask?"
>Your secret is out sister.
>You wanted some hot monkey dick.
>Or least the company of one.
"I was talking to Sparks about her missing the new book."
>Her face is getting uneasy.
>"I just, I wanted a day out of town with someone nice. You know?"
>I guess Twilight isn't nice enough.
>Apparently.
>Where the hell is this coming from?
>Whatever, everyone has problems everywhere you go.
>You give her a hug.
>She looks like she needs one right now.
>Prolly had a bad week and wanted to get out of a bit.
>You shouldn't deny that.
"Relax, you're going to get your new book and feel great about everything. That's the point of reading anyway."
>She intensifies her hug.
>"Thanks Anon, it means a lot."
>She gets up and heads to the kitchen.
>Returning with a water bottle.
>"I'm going to head home. I'll see you tomorrow right?"
>You nod and say your goodbyes.
>Finally.
>You can get in a good nap before seeing BP.
>Speaking of which.
>What could she possibly want to talk about?

>Snoozingsounds.wav
>mediaplayer.exe has crashed.
>Getting up off the couch you take a gander at your watch.
>7:39
>Damn it's late.
>Oh dammit you're late for things.
>Standing up and letting out a roar while you stretch makes everything feel better.
>No roommate means nobody to bitch and complain when you do that.
>feelsgoodman.png
>Time to get your ass to the bar.
>At least she'll still be there.
>Finally getting to the bar, you look around a bit and-
>Bingo.
>You start making your way over to BP.
>She notices you just as you sit.
>Dammit, she looks like she already had more than a few.
>"Hey Anon, you are."
>No need to pause.
>...
"I am what?"
>"Late."
>It's like she forgot how to speak.
"Well, I took a nap. Long day. What did you need to talk about?"
>"What do you mean?"
>Does she think that she's being funny right now?
>Protip: No naps before meeting people.
>Before meeting drunk people.
"You said over at Sugarcube Corner that you wanted to speak to me."
>It sounded important.
>Maybe it's not.
>While you are waiting for her brain to finish loading you get a beer.
>"Why are you two always hanging out?"
>wat
>Do you have to be drunk to understand?
>Drinking more than half of your drink should move things along.
>At least if you get laggy, you won't notice her being laggy as well.
"What are you talking about?"
>This is a waste of time.
>"You and Rainbow are like."
>"Always together."

>What the fuck does that even mean.
>This pone needs to back the fuck up.
"Yeah? Your point?"
>We ain't bangin'.
>Yet.
>"You should hang out with someone a bit... How should I say it?"
"More boring? No thanks, I'll pass on that offer."
>This is a waste of time. You should be doing-
>Well.
>Nothing.
>But that's not the point.
>"You're someone who just out classes her."
>"She's just not good enough for you."
>After finishing that sentence, she plops herself into your lap while still sitting in her chair.
>Like a pone-bridge.
"What the fuck?"
>Is she coming onto you?
>This is new.
"Get up. What is she? A weirdo?"
>She can be a bit odd, but so is anyone given enough time.
>If you get to know them well.
>She finally gets stable in her seat.
>She's like one of those wobbly doll things from your nightmares.
>"There are always much prettier mares than her you can be with."
>Wow.
>She called you over her.
>To insult your friend.
"Hey, no need to be a bitch."
>"I'm speaking the truth, don't get mad at me."
>You pay for your drinks.
"Yeah? She's just ugly? You didn't even want to talk about anything else?"
>"I just don't want you to end up with somepony who isn't what you deserve."
>She totally giving you the bedroom eyes.
>She wants the hot monkey dick.
>Not Rains.
>But Berries here.
>She could just ask.
>Anon always delivers.
>"Well, I see you're leaving now. Go and ask one of her friends."
>They won't just rag on their friend now would they?
>"They'll tell you what I just did."
"Yeah, I'm sure of it."
>She goes and orders another drink.
>"Don't say I didn't warn you."

>Well there's just enough time to see Rarity.
>Aside from Flutters she's the only one you haven't seen today.
>At least she'll tell you what's up.
>There is at least.
>If you had to guess, about an hour of sunlight left.
>That should be plenty.
>Arriving at the round-but-square-inside boutique.
>You wonder how you should even word this question.
>'Hey Rarity, is Rainbow ugly? Or is it just this one mare at the bar.'
>That doesn't seem to go so smoothly.
>Walking inside you spot Rarity hanging something up.
"Hey Rarity! Need any help?"
>She can magic.
>Why doesn't she?
>"Not at all Anon, I can... Get... This..."
>It's almost pathetic.
>You reach over to get the banner over the last hook.
>Being tall is great sometimes.
>"I said I could handle it Anon. You didn't need to-"
"I know, but watching you struggle wasn't something fun to watch."
>She gives you a hug.
>Awwyis.tif
>"So what brings you by? Do you need anoooother tie?"
>Why does she extend her words so often?
>There is also an absurd about of sass in that sentence.
>It's a bit cute, but somewhat unnecessary.
"I've just heard a few things and I'd like your input on the subject."
>A small jump backwards, she is almost in shock that'd you ask such a question.
>"You need a laaady's opinion on what darling?"
"I don't really know how I can ask you this, but I need you to tell me the truth."
"It's really important."
>"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you of all people."
>People?
>There is only one.
"I'm the only person you know. So I'm glad you aren't talking to any others."
"That could cause problems."
>She stifles a small laugh, but smiles nonetheless.
>"Whatever you need to tell me Anon, you can go right ahead and say it. We are great friends after all."
>Alright, fire away.
"Do you think Rainbow Dash is... Unattractive?"

>Her eyes go wide.
>She knows more than she'd like to admit.
>"What-whatever do you mean?"
>Sigh.
"You said you'd give me an honest answer. I need to know."
>You don't want to push too hard, but damn this is grinding your gears.
"I've recently been... Informed of such things. I don't want to confront her directly about this without knowing more than I do now."
>She looks down at the floor.
>Like she's trying to find a certain atom, a certain speck on the floor that's not there.
>"She's one of my best friends Anon."
>If she was talking with any less voice it would be as quiet as an abandoned hospital.
>"She... Doesn't have the best luck with anypony..."
>You take a knee to get closer to her eye-level.
>Placing a hand under her head you force her to look into your eyes.
>Not too hard, but with a purpose behind it.
"Is that why she always likes being near me?"
>You drop the hand, it's mostly pointless now.
>She opens, and closes her mouth a few times to try and find the right words.
>"Well, I've thought that you're just too nice to say anything mean to her."
>"Mostly anypony that doesn't have any reason to be nice to her... Just isn't..."
>You're practically a celebrity.
>Being near you all the time must make being in public a lot easier on her.
>How have you never seen this?
>You have noticed plenty of staring and rude looks towards the two of you.
>It's just never clicked.
>You're staring right into her face.
>It feels like time has come to a complete stop.
>"Anon?"
>"Are you okay?"
>She touches your face.
>"Darling?"
>You have been sitting on the floor staring straight into space for about 15 minutes now.
>You need to get up.
>You need to get out of here.
>You need to talk to Rainbow.
>You need to tell her it's fine.
>You need to.
>You have to.

>All this time you thought she was being the nice one.
>Giving you company because everyone else was too stuck up to do so.
>Maybe they didn't want to be near her.
>Almost two whole years and you never knew this about your best friend?
>This is all wrong.
>You were being the nice one.
>Giving her an escape.
>This trip to Canterlot must mean a lot to her.
>A day to where it's just the two of you, away from everyone you know.
"Thanks Rarity, I just needed to know. You know?"
>She nods, and puts on a gentile smile.
>A smile you've seen before.
>The same smile that Rainbow gives you everyday.
>You glance at your watch, fuck.
>The window confirms it is indeed the time for Luna to do her thing.
"In fact, I do need another tie Rarity."
>She comes over to you again after you stand up.
>"What do you want it to go with?"
"I'm not sure yet. It just needs to be fancy."
>Her face lights up.
>What could you possibly need another tie for?
"Make that a whole outfit. I'm going to need it by Thursday. Could that be done?"
>"Of course! You need to look your best for this weekend!"
>You sure do.
>You sure do need to look your best.
"I'm going to be heading home, I'll see you when I get back in town."
>You share your goodbyes, and make your way home.
>Well.
>Not your home.
>Rainbow's home.
>You need to talk to her about some things.
>Will she even be up?
>It is pretty late now.
>No matter, if you're showing up she would try her best to seem awake.
>You need to make sure that she enjoys herself these next few days.
>She deserves it.
>The moonlight is amazing right now.
>You finally arrived at her cloud-home-thing.
>Fuck, you should just wait until tomorrow.
>This crap can wait, you need a good rest.
>"Hey Anon! What are you doing over here?"

PREPARE FOR A SPAGHETTI ZONE

>Fuck.
>You really shouldn't monologue, it's what kills villains.
>It's going to kill you.
>Not today.
>But eventually.
"Hey Dash, just coming by to see if you're ready for tomorrow."
>She swoops down to make communication a bit easier.
>You can see that smile.
>The same smile you've grown so accustomed to.
>"Of course I am! I was just thinking about how much fun we're gonna have!"
>Yeah, same ol' Dash.
>All the fun in the world.
"What time again tomorrow? I forgot after my nap."
>If you are her escape.
>Is she just using you?
>Just to feel pretty?
>So she doesn't feel bad about how she looks?
>All this time you've been thinking about how it's not fair she's... Almost an outcast...
>What if it just seems to be that way.
>You clench your fists.
>What if these feelings you've been having.
>Are all just a bunch of lies.
>What if Rainbow doesn't care about you.
>The talk with Rarity sure made you see a different perspective on things.
>You started to think that you could fall for her.
>That might not be the only way to look at this.
>She was always close.
>Not just in distance, but she was always there to listen to you.
>But if she can hide how insecure she is.
>She can sure mask any kind of 'friendship' you two shared.
>"The train leaves at 2, but do you think that you can come over around 11 packed and ready to go?"
>Oh.
>She wants to have lunch to make sure you believe she's still your best friend.
>Her #1 pal.
>Why else would she make you come over earlier?
>Your jaw starts to tighten.
>How could you allow 2 fucking years go by.
>To just be used like this.
>Tears are beginning to well up in your eyes.
>Right when she gets past this part of her life.
>When she no longer needs to stand by you to feel beautiful.
>When she no longer needs to keep up this charade.
>When she no longer needs to stay by you.
>When she no longer needs... You.
"Yeah I could, but what's the fucking point?!"

>"Anon? You're scaring me..."
>You can't imagine her saying anything other than that.
>All this time, this is all you can say?
>She comes closer.
>hug.exe
>After feeling her just hold you.
>Maybe it's not as bad as you think.
>You would just hold her.
>You'd be empty inside.
"I'm glad that you look better when you're near me."
"But no need to be manipulative."
>You start to walk away.
>To just leave her.
"Don't ever talk to me. Ever again."
>You can't see her face.
>You don't want to see it.
>Betrayal.
>Maybe this isn't the right thing to do.
>You might be able to walk back up to her.
>Try to take back what you said.
>But you couldn't.
>Not after that.
>Would she just stand there?
>Or fly back on home?
>This isn't right.

"I can't see her."
>Just loud enough where you can barely hear.
>You shake your head and finally start walking away.
>You've been standing in front of Rarity's for about 20 minutes.

>You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow.
>You should just go home.
>A good night's rest is all you need.
>Lunch tomorrow doesn't seem like a bad idea after all.

If you are confused, read the last bit again.
I will fix/correct this soon.

All of that crap was just in Anon's head.
In his mind he got the idea to surprise her with lunch.

>Today's the day.
>You feel like shit.
>But, you can't really do anything about a bad night's rest.
>No matter.
>Time to pack 2 days worth of shit.
>Do you really need any more than that?
>Nah, prolly not.
>With a glance at the clock.
>10:18
>Just enough time to go have lunch with your best friend.
>Grabbing your suitcase.
>You begin to make your way to Rainbow's.
>Spotting her cloudy place up ahead, you check your watch.
>10:37
>Not bad timing.
>Also no side quests stopped you on the way here.
>Today was a good day.mp3
>It's a little too early for lunch, but maybe you can at least hang out a bit.
"Hey Rainbow!"
>When does she wake up anyway?
>Nothing.
>Just a light breeze.
>How quiet is your fucking hollering?
"HEY RAINBOOOWWWWW!!!"
>That might have done the trick.
>You see movement.
>Did she just fly in the other direction?
>whattheshitman
>If she didn't match the fucking sky so damn well you could spot her.
>Wings would be useful.
>So you don't have to be a faggot and have her carry your bitch-ass up there.
>For a little pony.
>She is MUCH stronger than she looks.
>It makes you wonder if she is-
>THWARP
>Your face is in the dirt.
>You can feel all the spaghetti you packed leaking on the floor.
>Ever so gently, oh so gently indeed.
>Does life even have meaning?
>Getting up feels like it's not worth it.
>You continue to lay here.
>Playing dead.
>"Hey Anon! Why are you hear so early?"
>Why can't she just say hello like everyone else?

>"Hey, get up you."
>She's standing on your back.
>Don't do it.
>Don't get up.
>She'll roll you over.
>"Anon?"
>She gets off you and lays right next to you.
>"Get up, you play dead every time I knock you over.
>Drats.
>Foiled again.
>Slowly you roll over.
>Just enough to gaze at her face.
>You see it again.
>That smile.
>You're not even sure when the first time was, that she starting giving you that smile.
>All it does is make you smile.
>So you can try and match hers.
>To make her feel as warm, as she makes you feel.
>You can almost feel your face beaming.
>Staring into those beautiful eyes.
>The same eyes that you have looked into time and time again.
>Why wouldn't anyone not feel enlightened staring into her magenta irises.
>It makes time come to a complete stop.
>You feel every heartbeat pound in your chest.
>Her face is changing.
>She's still smiling, that didn't change.
>However it's a different smile.
>Accompanied by a small blush.
>She starts getting up.
>She can feel herself blushing, hell so can you.
>"Come on, get up you-"
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Are you ready to carry my ass up there?"
>Both of you laugh a bit.
>You can barely believe you were thinking about breaking her away.
>The very thought makes you want to hurl.
>"Always, I just hope you don't get any fatter. Last time was a full workout."
>That smirk on her face.
>You bop her in the nose.
>That smirk is now gone.
>Mission accomplished.
>"Hey, don't do that."
>Naturally you are required to do it again.
>So she tries to block.
>She wasn't expecting you to be a rusemaster.
>You have TWO hands.
>Fighter 2-1 is down.
>Fighter 2-2 has hit the target. I repeat. Fighter 2-2 has reached the target. Over.
>You smile as you watch her rub her nose.
>Everyone in the world must be completely blind.

>You should ask to room with Dash.
>This place is fucking huge.
>Is she really the only one who lives here?
>You'd have a reason to never go shopping, or leave for that matter.
>tfw no wings
>On second thought, that would put you on a very short leash.
>Fuck that.
>"You never answered my question, Anon."
>Oh yeah.
>Lunch.
"I wanted to see if you'd like to have lunch with me today."
>Feet have landed.
>She continues to hover though, it's easier when you don't have to look down all the time.
"You know, before we have a few hours of train food."
>In all honesty. The food almost everywhere is top-tier.
>"Yeah, that sounds nice what to you want to eat?"
"What do you have? I don't want you to carry me back down again, especially after you plopped me up here."
>You lied.
>Being carried makes you feel like a schoolgirl, and senpai just noticed you.
>"I don't mind Anon, you aren't very heavy."
"I thought I was putting on some pounds?"
>"I was kidding, you look great."
>She gives a warm smile, not too big.
>Sorta like a warm smirk.
"So do you, better than great if I do say so myself."
>wings.exe has crashed.
>restart required.
>It seems like her whole world has frozen before her.
>Maybe this whole thing about how she looks is rooted deeper than you thought.
>"Th-thanks Anon."
>She's blushing incredibly hard.
>Has she ever gotten a complement?
>You should hand out a few more from time to time.
>She could use the ego boost.
>"Would you like to... Come inside?"
>She finally mutters after getting up.
>If you were blind, she would of sounded like Fluttershy.
"After you, dear."
>Bowing down in the direction of the door, you starting thinking this could be a fun vacation...

>Following the hostess inside you start wondering how much weight could a cloud hold?
>It looks like everything is made of concrete, or chiselled stone.
>Neither are lightweight.
>"I don't have anything too extravagant for lunch."
"I can have you for lunch, you seem extravagant enough."
>You go give her a hug.
>"Ha... Ha ha, Anon. Want a sandwich or something?"
>You should tone down the flirting.
>This might get out of hand if you keep firing.
"Sure, whatever you think is best. Are you all packed up for the trip?"
>You sit your keister on her couch.
>"You know it! It's going to be the best 2 days of the year! I promise you that!"
>She doesn't need to shout, the kitchen isn't that far away.
"You promise?"
>"Duh! What could be better than spending a few days in Canterlot with your best friend?"
>A sandwich has appeared.
>Time to begin the face stuffing.
>Or not.
>"So, why should I give you this?"
"Because it's a nice thing to do?"
>Why she do dis.
>"Why did you want to have lunch with me today?"
>To eat with a friend perhaps.
"Is it a crime to want to enjoy your company?"
>"No, but you've never come over this early... I didn't even get to brush my mane..."
>She says while combing her hooves through her hair.
"Your hair looks fine, really."
>"I'm sure it does, but I always do this in the mornings."
>Rainbow excuses herself to her room.
>Sure she does.
>If she did, it would be done by now.
>When you've seen her with her friends it looks more-or-less as it does now.
>What changed?
>You.
>You did.
>She just wasn't expecting to see you this early.
>She was going to look pretty for you.
>Wow... This mare might have some genuine feelings for you.
>The only question is...
>Do you feel the same way?

>Maybe.
>Maybe you do.
>"Hey Anon, I think I'm going to be a bit! You can watch TV or something if you want!"
"Or I can go through your shit."
>"What was that?"
>The shower comes on.
"Nothing! Just hurry up!"
>Turing the TV on just proved that there is nothing to watch.
>That you'd be interested in anyway.
>You already gave yourself an alternative.
>To rummage through her room.
>genericdoorsound.ogg
>Damn.
>That fucking bed.
>It looks big for you!
>And you're at least twice her size.
>The fuck man.
>Touch.
>That confirms that.
>3soft5you
>It's like a Tempurpedic bed made out of air.
>You're jelly.
>Hell, you're jelly AND peanut butter.
>"Hmmmhmmm da dum hmmmmmhmmm"
>Is she singing?
>Pressing your ear against the door confirms that.
>She is definitely singing.
>Or at least humming something.
>No words.
>Hell, maybe EVERYONE makes 'music' in there.
>Whatever.
>Stepping away from the bathroom door.
>What does she keep under the bed?
>Time to find the fuck out.
>Some boxes.
>Some other random shit.
>Nothing of value.
>Drawers, these normally contain something entertaining.
>Or underwear.
>Usually that.
>Open.
>Close.
>Open.
>Close.
>Open.
>Clo--
>Nope.
>This one does NOT contain undergarments.
>Well it does.
>But there is something more.
>When you hide something under socks, you should make sure the drawer is full of socks.
>Not just a few tossed in there.
>Reaching your hand in there, you pull out the object you barely spotted.
>Seems to look like a notebook.
>More accurately.
>A diary.
>The latch is also not shut.

>Time to find out what she writes about.
>By how worn this cover is, she might be almost done with it.
>A page a day, this could last at least a year.
>You never really took her for someone to keep a diary.
>Flipping open the cover to gaze upon the first page you get surprised.
"There is no point to this, entire thing."
>Nothing on the first page.
>You put your thumb on the side to filp through them.
>The first.
>Second.
>Third.
>Tenth.
>All blank.
>About halfway through you hit something solid.
>The pages are... Glued together...
>Opening right to that page shows that the book is hollowed out.
"Why would she even..."
>Barely under your breath as your eyes are fixed upon the only thing in the book.
>A single piece of paper.
>However something is printed on it.
>It's a picture.
>A picture of you.
>A picture of you, and Rainbow at the Grand Galloping Gala.
>Almost a year and a half ago.
>You went because Rainbow asked you to be her plus one.
>It wasn't too bad.
>You had fun.
>Albeit you two just sat on a balcony away from everyone else.
>Just you and a friend.
>Making some happy memories.
>You saw Celestia for the first time that night, Luna seemed to be a bit more down-to-earth though.
>How often does she look at this?
>You just simply smile.
>The past was pretty great.
>Neither of you went to the next GGG.
>The shower has stopped.
>You should jump on the bed, like you were waiting for her.
>HALT THE TRAIN.
>As quick as you can, you put the picture back in the book.
>Shove it back into the drawer.
>Close.
>"Hey Anon, what are you-"

>She stops herself in mid-sentence to try to find an answer herself.
>Laying on her bed doing a beach pose isn't the most luxurious thing to walk in on.
>At least you went full sanic so you weren't caught going through her shit.
>You know that book exists.
>You have the same picture framed in your hallway.
>It's not looked at that often, however that doesn't lower it's value.
>But you and Rainbow haven't had a day together like that since...
>That night.
>Until today that is.
>You should make sure you get a photo of you two.
>Or at least when she gets her book.
>She needs a newer photo.
>Come to think of it.
>You haven't seen many photos of her at all.
"I want you to draw me like one of your French mares."
>Your face doesn't have the slightest crack in it.
>It's fool proof.
>"Oh yeah?"
>Does she think she's sly?
>This is not a joking matter.
"Of course, have you never wanted to print perfection on paper?
>With a flip of your hand, and rocking your head all the way back.
>Rarity has taught you how to be as sassy as her.
>Or you've been near her too much.
>"I might have the supplies if you want me to attempt to immortalize you."
>She does a head flip with her mane swooshing all over the place.
>She just out-sassed you.
>This is unacceptable.
"Go for it, what else could we do to burn a few hours?"
>You could think of a few different ways.
>Only if there was something worth watching on TV.
>Hell, does she have any games here?
>You haven't been over enough to know what she has here.
>She could be hiding a theme park in here, it's fucking big enough.
>"Okay, only one condition."
>She starts having a faint blush.
>It's pretty cute.
>"If you want me to draw you properly, you should be naked."

>You take off your shirt and toss it in Rainbow's face.
>The club can't even handle you right now.
>She freezes.
>Spooked solid.
>You start moving as slowly as humanly possible.
>Moving your hand to the zipper of your pants.
>She tossed the shirt on the floor.
>Click
>Click
>Click
>Pulling down the zipper one notch at a time.
>Her face flares up so much it looks like she might pass out.
>She is fighting the urge to drop.
>So determined.
>Click.
>A small twitch rushes down her back.
>Click.
>Her pupils are becoming dilated.
>Click.
>She swallows slowly.
>Click.
>Her mouth becomes slightly ajar.
>Click.
>Another twitch.
>Click.
>She finally blinks.
>Click
>You can see sweat forming on her brow.
>Click.
>That's the last one.
>She might not have ever realized.
>Moving your hands to the side of your pants she finally cracks.
>"I-I-I was j-just-t kidd... Kidding around Anon."
>She looks away.
>What could possibly be going on in that head of hers.
>Full upward zip.
"I know, I just wanted to have a little fun. Toss me my shirt?"
>It hits you in the face.
>Just like you nailed her.
>Sliding it over your face you join her in walking out of the room.
>"Hey! I have an idea!"
>You are like right in front of her.
>That yelling is not needed one bit.
"Yeah? Like what?"
>She grabs the remote and points to the couch.
>Oh boy.
>TV time.
>"There is this movie I recorded, that you just HAVE TO SEE."
"What's it about?"
>"THE WONDERBOLTS!"
>Why can't she be drawing your sculpted masterpiece that you call a body?
>You sit down on the far right so you can plop your feets onto the couch.
>Rainbow sits... On the exact other side.
>Is she distancing herself from you?
>That joke might have been a bit cruel.
>Maybe after this movie you can finally get to the train station.

>Wow.
>You just watched Top Gun.
>More or less.
>Without a synch you make it to the train station.
>Being the element of human, you make it to the front of the line with ease.
>There is no line.
>That doesn't stop you from walking up there like you own the damn place.
>Dash already paid for the tickets.
>Time to wait for train.
>There are so few ponies here.
>Oh shit.
>It's that Diamond Tiara cunt.
>I bet you could punt her over the tracks.
>That would cause more problems than it would fix.
>Finally.
>Choo choo motherfucker.
>Here comes the train.
>SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Can they not make those damn noises when they stop.
>Whatever.
>Walk up to door.
>Give ticket.
>Find your own small room.
"Hey Rains. You've been quiet. Are you okay?"
>She looks up at you to give you that oh so sweet smile.
>"Yeah, I just haven't been to Canterlot in quite some time."
>You pat her on the head, then proceed to run your fingers though her mane.
>Is this one of her problems?
>This shit feels like rainbows.
>Fused with silken threads.
>She begins to take notice of the petting.
"Neither have I, I think the last time I was here. Was the last time I was here with you."
>She jumps a bit at the mention.
>"Not any other time?"
"Not that I can recall. You'd think I'd remember a 6 hour train-ride."
>She chuckles gently at the comment.
>"That was one of the best nights I've ever had Anon, really."
>Don't you know that.
>You cheeki-breeki you.
"We should take another picture together while we're up here. I only have the one from the GGG."
>She looks slightly away, but you can still see her blushing.
>"Of course!"
>She turns her head to look you in the eyes.
>"Every time we come to Canterlot together we should get a new picture."
>Who are you to deny her that?
>You can't even deny that smile of hers.
>You lean forward to pull her into your chest.
>A light gasp is heard as you just hold her here.
>The train finally starts to move along.
>You only have 6 hours here.
>Only if they could last a lifetime.

>You pull her onto your lap.
>This is the first time you've ever heard her squeak.
>It was quiet, but it was obvious she was trying to hide it.
>You lift Rainbow into the air so you can get comfortable.
>Stretching your legs out you lay down on the bench-like seat you two are on.
>She's now just laying on top of you.
>"Hey, what are you- Don't take up the whole seat!"
>Another boop on the nose to shush her.
"There is no way I'm staying awake this whole trip, and staying up for the release."
>You can't hide that blush, Dash.
>Don't even try.
>"Then where am I supposed to sit?"
>She arises off your chest a bit.
>You pull her back down.
"Right here."
>She starts resisting.
"I don't mind, in fact I insist. It's a bit cold, and you're keeping me warm."
>She finally comes back down.
>Adjusting herself to become as comfy as possible.
>She doesn't need to hoof you in the ribs.
>Fucking ouch.
>After much shifting and grunts.
>You two are happily sharing each others warmth.
>You get a free blanket.
>She gets a place to nap.
>It's a win-win.
>"Are you going to sleep?"
"If I do, will you?"
>"More than likely, you're rather comfy."
>Sliding your hand down her mane, you rest your hand on her back.
"Get some rest before we get to Canterlot, you are going to need it."
>It's going to be a long night.
>Both of you need a good nap before you spend hours in line.
"Hey Rainb-"
>She's already asleep.
>World's fastest napper right here.
>This is the first time you've ever seen her resting.
>She looks so peaceful, like there isn't a problem in the world.
>Fucking athletes.
>It takes them no time at all to get to sleep.
>You're now just laying here with a pony on you.
>At least she is warm.
>And beaming off her warm smile.
>What could she be dreaming about?
>Reaching up to knock the light-switch off.
>At least she'll get a good rest.
>It's time for you to get some shut-eye too.

>Bump
>You must have gotten the shitty train-car.
>At lest Rainbow is getting a good rest.
>Or she's a good faker.
>Poke.
>Nothing.
>Poke.
>Grunt.
>Okay, she's asleep.
>Check watch.
>No use in getting back to sleep now.
>You'll be arriving in Canterlot in about 15 minutes.
>You catch yourself staring at her.
>Maybe it's a good thing you're not a pone.
>You might see what everyone else does.
>Which you can't even imagine what they see.
>She is just... Amazing.
>Keep telling yourself you don't like her.
>It only makes you a liar.
>You've been alone ever since you've arrived here.
>Maybe.
>Just maybe you don't have to be anymore.
>You start running your hand through her mane.
>Again.
>And again.
>She really is beautiful.
>Twitch.
>Oh fuck you awoke the sleeper.
>Stretching noises.
>"Oh. Hey, Anon."
"Sleep well?"
>She rubs her eyes a bit.
>"Yeah, better than at home."
>That's always good.
"I didn't know I was such a lovely bed."
>You sassy shit.
>Making her blush and all.
"I also had a great blanket."
>She grins blindingly bright.
>"I'm the best ever!"
>She sure is.
>The train intercom says that Canterlot station is 10 minutes away, and everyone needs to get their shit.
>Making sure you have your-
>One bag.
>Never travel with too much shit.
>Rains also has only one bag.
>Thank god you aren't bringing Rarity along.
>You'd need a whole train-car.
"Are we going to the hotel first?"
>She doesn't have to.
>But there is no way in hell you are carrying your shit all night.
>"Yeah sure, tonight's going to be SO AWESOME!"
>You smile at her.
"It sure as hell is going to be, but you aren't allowed to read it when we go to sleep."
>"Why not?
>She looks bothered.
"I don't want my blanket moving around while I sleep."

>"Wha-what's that supposed to mean?"
>You shrug.
"Whatever you want it to."
>Grabbing your shit.
>And her shit you suave motherfucker.
>You depart the train.
>It might be meat parking night.
>"We are finally here!"
>Damn, she is almost illuminating the evening with her positivity.
>It's just a book.septimus
"Is this the last one in a series?"
>She looks at you.
>With one of those: 'you fucked up, but I'm a nice mom' looks.
>"What do you mean? She's not done writing."
>Wow, relax girl.
>No need to sound condescending.
"I'm just asking, because you've never been THIS excited about one of her releases before."
>She always goes with Twilight.
>Maybe she is and you have no fucking idea.
>Don't back down now.
>"It's not just the book, you know..."
>Her voice trailed off that last bit.
"What was that?"
>EEP
>"Nothing, Anon! Just book stuff. Yeah."
>You heard what she said.
"If it's not just the book, what is it?"
>Almost at the damn hotel.
>Fuck walking man.
>"Well..."
>She stops walking.
>"It's that you are here with me."
>Hug.cmd
>She is going to give you diabetes.
>After the hug you pick her up and put her on your shoulders.
>She fucking loves this.
>You know she does.
>"Hey! Anon, put me down!"
>She loves it so much.
>She'd resist, not just protest.
>Also she can keep herself balanced with her wings.
>No other pony does that.
"How's the view up there?"
>"Same as always."
>Finally.
>The hotel.
>She flies on off your shoulders, and into the hotel.
>You follow.
>Not all the way up, but she comes back with the 2 room keys.
>"Shall we?"
"We shall."
>11th floor.
>Not bad.
>Putting your key in, you walk the first steps into the room.
>Oh god.
>You were joking when you said it on the train.
>Mostly.
>Rainbow gets a concerned look on her face when there is only one bed in the room.
"Looks like you get to be my blanket after all."

>She starts blushing.
>Was this her plan?
"If you want, I can get us a new room?"
>She runs up to you, to give you a big-ass hug.
>So many hugs.
>"No, it's okay!"
>This was her plan all along.
>It's hot monkey dick time.
"Do you want to be my blanket?"
>Hug intensifies.
>"Maybe... Maybe I do..."
>"While I was getting our room, I changed it..."
"What do you mean?"
>She lets go and walks a bit away.
>"I liked sleeping with you on the train, it felt really nice."
>This is it.
>"So, I... I wanted to do it again."
>Looking back up at you, she puts on a smile.
>However, it's a different one.
>A comforting one.
>She is just happy to be here.
>With you.
>Can you blame her?
>She doesn't have anyone that treats her the way you do.
>You pick her up to carry her to the bed.
>Placing her down, you pet her gently.
"It's okay Rainbow, I want to do it again too."
>You can see tears welling up in her eyes.
>"I-I... L..."
"What?"
>Her heads drops.
>"It's nothing, Anon."
>You keep petting her.
"It's okay Rainbow, you can tell me anything."
>Locking her eyes with yours, she opens her mouth.
>However she stops like she doesn't know the words to say.
>You join her on the bed after putting the luggage on the floor.
>Giving her a deep hug for once, she starts to cry.
>"Anon...?"
>Pulling away from the hug she looks at your chest.
>"Do, do you think I'm pretty?"

>Fuck.
>You were not ready for this.
>Not now.
>There is no way around this now.
"What are you talking about?"
>She is trying her best to make it look like she's perfectly fine.
>You know she's not.
>"I'm... I'm not like other mares..."
"No, you aren't. That's one of your best qualities."
>"That's not what I mean!"
>"I'm, I'm not... Pretty... But... When I'm near you... I feel like I am..."
>Picking her back up you try to comfort her.
>Stop squirming.
>"If you don't think I am, I'll understand."
"You want to know what I think?"
>She nods, slowly.
>But she is still nodding.
"No."
>She recoils at the words.
>Like you just shot her.
"Not in the slightest, what makes you think I would think that you are just pretty?"
>"You, don't have to rub it-"
"I think you are beautiful."
>"all in my face like---"
>Rainbow.dash is not responding.
>Restart?
>Right before she started to cry, you spill that on her.
>"You don't have to be an asshole Anon..."
>She finally stops toying around, and jumps out of your arms heading for the door.
"What?"
>Now the tears are flowing.
>You've seen her cry before.
>It was never anything like this.
>"If-if you just- didn't th-think I was pr-pretty... Y-you c-c-could of just sa-said so..."
>Her sobs are messing up her speech.
>If she runs away, you can't catch her.
>Not even worth trying.
>No one can, and you know she won't talk to you for a long time.
>Crouching down to get to her height, you put your hand on her cheek.
"Rainbow, I mean it."
>Those beautiful eyes are the only thing you see.
>Staring right back at you, as you stare into them.
>"Just, just leave me alone Anon..."
>You don't let go.
>"No one ever thought I was, I shouldn't have asked so we could have enjoyed the night together. So I could of had my dream of us being tog-"
>Before she can move.
>Or run away.
>You kiss her.

>After what feels like an eternity.
>You finally part.
>Rainbow is still crying.
>However she doesn't seem sad.
>"Anon...?"
>She finally opens her eyes to look at you.
>It's like she doesn't know what to say."
>"You... You weren't lying to me... Were you?"
>Leaning forward you give her a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm not lying. I... Well... I didn't know how else to get you to stay."
>She just sits.
>In your lap.
>On the floor.
>Picking her up, she gasps a little when you drop her on the bed.
>"Anon..."
"Yes, dear?"
>Why did you say that?
>You did just kiss her.
>Should you ask her out?
>Make this little thing official?
>"We should start going soon..."
"In just a bit, we can get moving."
>You start petting her gently.
"Rains, why do you think you... Aren't... You know...?"
>She sighs a heavy sigh.
>"It's almost everything about me..."
>She is fighting back tears talking about this.
>With you there.
>Holding her.
>Petting her.
>She won't let herself.
>"My mane, my wings, my face... Take your pick..."
"Oh. Wow."
>You push her off your lap.
"I see exactly what you were talking about."
>You grabby grabby her wings.
>Something you discovered accidentally, that nearly cost you your life.
>Is how ticklish the base of her wings are.
>"Anon, what are you-"
>"ANON! OH! STOP! STOP! HAHAHA PLEASE!"
"I've already touched your hair enough to know that it's fine."
>Tickling her even more now, causes her to start kicking and flailing about.
"But, now that you mention your face..."
>You lean down and stop tickling her.
"I just have to talk another look."
>She is about to say something when you cut her off with another kiss.
>With much more passion.
>She is still a bit giggly, so she goes a bit spaghetti on you.
>However she knows what happening now.
>Pushing herself into the kiss to deepen it further.
>You find yourself on your back.
>With Rainbow on top of you.
>You two finally part.
>"Anon... I love you."

"I love you too, Rainbow Dash."
>The only things you can see.
>Are those beautiful eyes.
>Gazing into them makes everything feel better.
>Everything.
>Everything feels lighter now.
>This was weighing you down ever since you found out.
>You know how you feel.
>"Really Anon?"
>She feels the same way.
>For much longer than you have.
"Yes, I do. In every sense of the word."
>Stop crying Rainbow.
>Happy tears or not, it's just too much.
>"I finally... Have... I finally have a special... A  special... Somepony..."
>Pulling her down onto you.
>Holding her closer than you ever have.
"Yes you do Rainbow, and I'll never leave your side."
>She has broken down into complete sobbing.
>Pouring all of her feelings.
>Straight onto you.
>You thought you had a good friend.
>A great friend.
>She knew she had one.
>You never would have imagined.
>That you would find someone.
>Who truly loves you.
>"This is the only thing, that I have ever wanted."
>She adjusts herself to give you a kiss.
>The first one that she initiated.
>Sitting up with her on your lap.
>Kissing the one you love more than anything.
>A friend.
>A good friend.
>A great friend.
>Your great friend.
>Your best friend.
>Your lover.
>Rainbow has become all of those things.
>What does the future hold?
>It could never compare to what it is now.
>How could it?
>You are in love.
"I only wish you told me sooner."
>"I never did, because I didn't think you would like me back..."
"Only when you do something, could you learn what its outcome would be. If you never try, you'll never succeed."
>Life lessons man.
>You've learned this the hard way.
>"You're right Anon."
>She comes back down to you.
>Another kiss.
>However it's her turn to kiss your forehead.
"If you ever need to tell me anything. Don't wait up."
>A smile.
>Her smile.
>Her beautiful smile.
>Is the only thing you need from her.
"Just say so."

>After a nice bit of time cuddling.
>The new couple heads to the book release.
>This trip is going exactly how she wanted it to.
>You made it there to get a decent place in line.
>Holy shit there are so many nerds.
>At least spot #47 isn't too bad.
>You can see there are at least...
>120 ponies behind you.
>"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!"
>"In about 5 minutes they will start to be handed out!"
"At least we aren't all the way back there."
>Pointing behind you with your fist closed and your thumb pointed out.
>She just looks mortified at the thought she'd have to wait even more until the next book.
>Ding ding.
>Midnight.
>Line has erupted into many: 'Woo!,' 'Yeah!,' 'ABOUT TIME!,' and what also sounds like orgasms.
>Halo 3 wasn't even this bad.
>As the line moves along, you can see the desk with the stack o' books there.
>"Books 46, and 47 right here. Sign here, pay for book with her over there."
"I'm picking one up for Princess Twilight. I need one more."
>Holy shit she looks frozen right now.
>"Of-of course sir. I didn't know you were associated with her majesty."
>Sweet free book.
>"Just sign this form for the release, and this one for Princess Twilight."
>Signing things.
>Wait a minute.
>How many fucking mouths has this pen been in?
>That's fucking gross.
>Shiver.
>You need to wash your hands.
>"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
>Fucking shit Rainbow.
>Even the spinning around.
>It's just a book.septimus
>After you get all the stuff you came here for.
>It is time to leave.
"Come on Rainbow, you can read later."
>"BUT. BUT. I ALWAYS READ THE FIRST CHAPTER BEFORE I SLEEP!"
"I'm right here, no need to yell."
>You start walking towards the door.
>Rains is not behind you.
>Dammit.
>You walk over to her.
"Come on."
>You now pick her up.
"Now you can read, and we can go to the hotel at the same time."

>Finally getting to the hotel.
>She hasn't said much of anything.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
>You give her a gentle shake.
>"Of course, I can't die reading!"
>Maybe you could.
>Other than the page flipping, you'd think she'd be kill.
"Well, it's time to stop. We are here."
>"Okay, when we get to our-"
>You are standing in front of the bed.
>Setting her down on it you grab your bag.
>Ruffling through it you get pyjamas, and shower soaps.
>"Why did you bring soap? They have some here."
"I like the way this smells."
>She blushes.
>She likes the smell too.
>Heading into the bathroom.
>Close the door, start getting the naked.
"You can keep reading if you want!"
>She was going to anyway.
>You can't stop that.
>Fuck you are tired.
>Turning on the shower, you wait until it's warm before stepping in.
>Ahhhh.
>Feelsgoodman.png
>Scrubbing noises.
>Knocking sounds.
>"Hey Anon!"
>She can wait her turn.
>The back is getting cleaned.
>"I need to use the bathroom!"
>Ah.
"I'm almost done in-"
>"LIKE RIGHT NOW."
>Oh boy.
>Shower curtain.
>Doesn't cover much.
>Fucking ponies.
"Fine, come on in."
>Doorknob sounds.
>"It's loooccckkkkkeeedddd!!!!"
>Oh boy.
>OH BOY.
>Getting out you unlock the door.
>Hearing this.
>She slams open the door before you can even turn around.
>EEEEEEP!
>Oh yeah.
>You're just standing there naked.
>Weirdo.
"You should have waited a second, Jesus."
>Stepping back into the shower, and moving the curtain.
"Come on in, you can bathroom now."
>She is frozen.
>Did she see?
>The HMD?
"Rainbow, I know I'm amazing. However, you can bask in my awesome. No need to stand there."
>The gears in her head are moving again.
>She gets on the potty.
>You look away because you are a gentleman.
>Well, you should own land at least.
>Turning off the shower, you are clean.
>"I'm going to shower too, okay?"

>You nod.
>What is this?
>She doesn't need permission to clean herself.
>Laying down on the bed you look at her side.
>She is already halfway done with that book.
>Fucking nerd.
>You start hearing what sounds like singing.
>Yup, she always sings in the shower.
>It's kind of cute.
>Speaking of which...
>You two are now a couple, aren't you?
>You can't think of anyone you'd rather be with.
>She was the only one who didn't think that you were a freak when you arrived.
>That's always something nice.
>After everyone just got used to you being here.
>Friends were a bit easier to make, however no one was going out of there ways to meet the new ape.
>Well.
>One did.
>Now you two are an item.
>The shower has come to a stop.
>Finally.
>Time to sleep.
>The door opens.
>"Hey Anon, are you ready?"
>She don't even know.
>You were BORN ready.
"Of course I am, now get over here so we can start."
>She starts blushing, as she inches towards the bed.
>When she finally gets next to it.
>She stops.
"Okay, are you ready?"
>She slowly starts nodding.
"Come on up here then."
>She hops up next to you.
>Finally.
>It's time to sleep.
>When is the train ride home tomorrow?
>You might be able to enjoy Canterlot a bit.
>You look at your new... Girlfriend?
>Marefriend?
>Whatever.
>She is just beaming with color.
>Her smile knows no bounds.
>You put your hand underneath her chin.
>Pulling her into a kiss.
>She then stands up on the bed.
>Please don't jump.
>Be energetic tomorrow.
"I thought you said you were ready?"
>She climbs on top of you.
>Leaning down to give you another kiss.
>"I am ready."

>Oh.
>She is going to be a blanket.
>Aight, she was comfy.
>You're down for that.
>You pull her down onto your chest.
"I love you Rainbow."
>You pull the blanket over the both of you.
>Double the warm.
>Tonight's going to be nice.
>Comfy bed.
>And two blankets.
>Not one.
>But two.
>She sits back up on you.
>Still blushing like mad.
>It is the first time you are sleeping together as a couple.
>It's perfectly normal to be nervous.
>"I love you too, Anon. That's why I want to do this."
>Then lay the fuck down.
>It's not a difficult concept.
>She starts grinding herself on your lower half.
>What the fuck is she-
>Oh.
>OH.
>OH.
>OH GOD.
>YOU WERE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS.
>Breath man.
>Breath.
>You notice her starting to cry a bit.
>You put your arms around her.
>Pulling her to you.
"Rainbow-"
>"P-please... Anon..."
"Shhhhhh."
>You start petting her as her crying gets a bit more intense.
"It's okay, we aren't do that here."
>"But, we are dating now-"
>Putting your hand over her mouth.
"Shush you. We are dating now, that is true."
>You give her a deep hug.
"But I don't want to do... That. Not here. Not yet."
>"I have to... If I don't then how will you-"
>Cutting her off with a kiss, it helps the crying slow down a bit.
"Lets just go to bed. Okay?"
>She nods.
>"I love you, Anon..."
>Life sure has its weird moments, doesn't it?
"I love you too. Get some rest for me now."
>She gives you that heart-melting smile.
>Closing her eyes she snuggles into your chest.
>For most of the time you were here.
>Going home was something you wished for almost every day.
>Now...
>That just sounds like a nightmare.

>You can now feel that she has fallen asleep.
>Maybe you should join her.
>When you get back home, you two are certainly going to be the talk of the town.
>You need to drink more water.
>Starting to get a headache.
>Sleep finally wins, and off to dreamland you go.
>Seeing a nice tree in front of a pretty sunset, you become very relaxed.
>Dreams are pretty dope.
>"Anon."
>What?
>Who is up in here?
>Luna plops herself into the dream.
"Princess, hello."
>Bowing down you gracious fucker you.
>"You do not need to be formal with me here. This is your dream after all."
>Alright.
>You almost forgot how chill Luna is.
"May I ask what brings you here?"
>"Of course you can."
>Okay.
>Continue princess.
>You move your hand to make it seem like she should keep talking.
>"I need you to bring Rainbow Dash, and yourself for that matter to the castle in the morning."
>Aight.
"I can do that Princess."
>She is now walking towards you.
>Is it necessary to have a golden throne?
>No.
>However it's your dream after all.
>No one can tell you what to do in here.
"Is something on your mind?"
>She nods.
>"I've noticed you and Rainbow have gotten rather close. Should I be concerned at all?"
>What.
>Oh yeah.
>Rainbow could be dreaming about you.
>Luna would be the one to know these things.
"Not at all. Actually, we are dating now."
>Shrugging makes it look like you aren't all that confident, but who cares.
>"I'm glad. For both of you. However, when you come to the castle. Do not see my sister, come see me."
>It's your turn to nod this time.
>"I'll be going then, so you can continue to lounge."
>Luna enjoys herself a nice laugh to go with that comment.
"Farewell, Princess. You shall have my company tomorrow."

>Alight.
>Time to go back to dreaming I guess.
>Why would you need to go to Canterlot?
>I guess you'll find out tomorrow.
>Sitting back in your chair.
>You close your eyes.
>Opening them again, you see some light.
>Plus a bunch of multi-colored hair.
>Morning it is.
"Hey Rainbow, time to wake up."
>Poke poke.
>"I wanna sleep some more..."
>Poke.
"It's time to wake up, we need to go to Canterlot this morning."
>She rolls off you and stands on the bed.
>"What for?"
"I'm not too sure, Princess Luna just did that... Dream thing."
>She just gives you a blank stare.
>Surely she knows about this.
"Well? Let's get ready."
>Standing up to get off the bed, you begin making it.
"You can help too."
>After some nice teamwork, this place looks just like it did when you arrived.
>"I'm going to take a quick shower, then turn in the keys."
>That works.
"I'll take one while you are running downstairs."
>She goes and hops into the bathroom to do her thing.
>Time for you to hop into the shower.
>Change clothes.
>Grab bags.
>Time to head on downstairs to meet up with Rainbow.
>"Hey Anon, you ready?"
>You give a nod, then head out the door.
>It's a nice place, you should stay there more often.
>You should just come to Canterlot more often.
>Well, you should come on by with Rainbow every time there's a new book.
>That sounds like it would be okay.
"So when does the next book come out?"
>"She hasn't announced it yet."
>Okay.
>That could have gone better.
"Well, you should let me know when the next one comes out. I had a lot of fun down here with you."
>"Can do!"
>Here we are.
>Canterlot's mighty castle.
>Why would you possibly need to come here for?

>Walking in you spot some guards who let you walk the fuck in.
>You could take them.
>Maybe.
>1v1.
>Without weapons.
>Yeah.
>Piece of cake.
>Walking into the main hall, you see the throne.
>Celestia's anyway.
>I guess she's off doing other things since it's unoccupied.
>That's not who you are here to see anyway.
>Now...
>How do you even get to Luna's quarters?
>It might be pretty difficult.
"Rainbow, do you know where Luna resides?"
>Landing, and looking up at you confused.
>"Like, where she sleeps?"
>Duh.
"Yes, she said not to speak with Celestia about it."
>Quickly she flies over to a guard.
>She could just bring you along.
>Or tell you her plans.
>She comes back and tells you she knows where it is.
"Lead the way."
>There are some many halls here.
>It's like a city.
>Inside one big ass building.
>At least they are decorated.
>Soulless walls of concrete are a huge eyesore.
>It must not have been cheap to decorate everything here.
>All the art is different too, nothing is repeated.
>It has also been here for...
>At least a thousand years.
>That you know for certain.
>So, it's not like everything was hung up at once.
>Even if it was, a millennium is enough time to pay any debt.
>"Okay, though these doors. Then we should be getting close to Princess Luna's chambers."
>Just now getting close?
>How fucking big is this damn place.
>Well, the lights are dimmer.
>This is definitely where the moon princess resides.
>As you finish that thought, you make your way to a rather large door.
>Decorated with moons and stars and shit.
"I think we found it."
>"What could have given you that idea?"
>You roll your eyes.
>Giving a friendly but hard knock on the door, you here Luna call you inside.

"Hello Princess."
>You and Rainbow enter the not-so-lit chamber.
>"Hello Anonymous, it has been some time since we have spoken to one-another."
>Or even been remotely near each other.
>"I bring you both here, to tell you a few things."
>Go on princess.
"Such as what?"
>"One of my duties as Princess of the Night, I can peer into dreams. I use this ability to make sure all my subjects are mentally well."
>What.
>You knew she was a dream-hopper...
>But holy shit how many heads does she jump into each night?
>That can be pretty taxing.
>Rainbow has herself a nervous laugh.
>Oh god what has Luna seen.
>That must be what this is all about.
>"Now that you two are now united. Which, congratulations on both of you."
"Thank you Princess."
>You and Rainbow said that simultaneously.
>When she notices that, she looks at you and blushes a little.
>Simplyadorable.tga
"May I ask what is wrong then?"
>"Nothing at all is wrong, I just used this opportunity to talk to you both. There is going to be a gathering for my sister. I would like it if you two told the others."
>What's the point of being all dramatic?
>Moons doesn't have to be all showy in front of you.
>Damn.
>"Why don't you just tell the others in their dreams?"
>That is a very good point.
>Good job Rainbow.
>"We normally don't take such actions when it is not necessary. However it was our time to check on you, so everything worked out."
>What.
>Oh god.
>What has she seen in your mind.
>Well.
>What's done is done.

>"Since our sister can view all mail sent and received, we must do these actions in private like this."
>Luna watches the dream world...
>And...
>Celestia watches the..
>Mail world?
>Someone got shafted big time.
>Makes sense why she throws herself into the open like that all the time.
>Here you thought Celestia was the more powerful one.
>Luna's just that modest.
>Really speaks about both of them.
"Okay, we'll go speak to them."
>With a slight wave you make your way back out.
>"That's a little strange, don't you think?"
"What do you mean?"
>"How Princess Celestia can read all the mail."
>It might not be all mail.
>Just mail that goes in and out of Canterlot.
"Nah, it might only be local mail. Like, only stuff in the castle."
>She simply nods in agreement.
"That would be pretty overwhelming if it was everything ever."
>You share a small laugh as you head on back to the entrance.
>Would anyone notice if you take a painting or two?
>They look hella nice.
>You don't got the room for that shit.
>Quest denied.
"How old do you think this art is?"
>"What do you mean?"
>Stopping in the hallway you point up.
"That shit."
>She looks up at the paintings and banners.
>"I'd say... At least a few hundred. I remember Rarity going on for hours about it about a year ago. It was pretty crazy."
"Yeah, it looks like it's taken care of. Magic or something."
>After staring at each of the pieces of art, you finally start making your way out into the main hall.
>Damn this place is huge.
>Looks like the sun is up for the day.
>That means...
>Shit, there's Celestia.
>Annnnnnd she's walking towards us.
>Fuck.

>"Anonymous! I've been looking for you, I was told that you were stopping by to see my sister."
"Well, I..."
>Trying to not make eye-contact, you make eye-contact.
>Smooth.
"Actually, it's been some time. Just wanted to catch up a bit. How are you?"
>That seems to have worked.
>She begins talking about all kinds of shit.
>Jesus horse.
>You can stop talking for 2 seconds.
>Are you the first person/pony to ask about her day for 7 years?
>Shit.
>"So that's why I'm glad you are here today."
>Wait.
>You have been called.
"Hmm?"
>Oh god.
>You don't just 'hmm' the leader of a country.
>You take a glance at Rainbow and you are on your own for this one.
>"Well, what do you think?"
>Instead of thinking about not talking to her, you should have listened.
"I don't know.... What to think about it really."
>You end that with a laugh.
>Maybe your silver tongue can help you out here.
>Which, judging by her small laugh.
>She either has pity for you.
>Or-
>"Next time you are here. It would be nice if you bring Twilight's research notes."
>That's it?
>Wow.
>Getting worked up for nothing again.
>Way to go sport.
"No problem, Princess."
>As you turn away and start heading back out.
>"Why doesn't she just ask Twilight to bring her shit here?"
>Dash has a loud whisper.
"I don't know. Maybe she just doesn't want to bring them up herself?"
>"What?"
"Maybe Twilight doesn't want to show off her crap. Being humble and all."
>"That really sounds like her."
"Yeah, it kind of does."
>Finally outside this fucking absurd castle.
>It's too damn big
>It's big by people standards.
>Which is just crazy since you are taller than the almighty Sun-Butt.
>Not by much.
>But enough to notice.
>Most ponies are half her size.
>Shit you'd be lost for a while here.
>At least Rainbow knows how to get to the train.
>"Anon?"
"Yes?"
>"How do you think everyone back home is going to feel?"

"I don't... I don't really know."
>Both of you stop for a bit.
>"Do, you think it will be bad?"
>That won't happen.
"Pffff, seriously Rainbow. You know your friends pretty well, don't you?"
>She just nods.
"If anything, they'll be happy for you."
"For us."
>You lean over and give her a hug.
>Well, at least you are going to be with a Pegasus.
>And one that likes to fly so you are almost always at eye level.
>Fucking dating an earth horse.
>'Oh, we're just closer to the ground blah blah blah.'
>You can't get any closer you non-magical, non-winged thing.
>Than they get all upset.
>"Thanks, Anon. You always know what to say."
"It comes with being a biped."
>"What?"
"Nevermind. Let's get on the train before it leaves."
>She starts floating off in a direction.
>All you can do is follow.
>You need to learn your way around here.
>Having someone nearby to guide you won't always be an option.
>"Hey look, it's that green monkey from Ponyville!"
>God fucking dammit.
>No people-- Ponies are staring.
>At least you can see the train station from here.
>Rainbow has noticed you picking up the pace, so she does such as well.
"It's a tad annoying getting called out like that. Even if they are kids."
>Flashing the ticket, and boarding the train as usual.
>"Yeah, I know what that's like..."
"Oh really now-"
>You done fucked up now.
>Sitting down in your little room on the train you pull her in a bit closer.
"I have no idea how you could."
>"Oh shut up, you know everything there is to know..."
>Cutting her off with a light kiss, and a hug.
"I was only kidding around, I know. Just relax. We'll be home soon."

>Emptiness.
>Just floating in a void.
>You can see yourself.
>However everything else is non-existent.
"Hellooooo!"
>Silence.
"Am I dead? I don't feel dead... But... How would I know?"
>At least there seems to be a floor.
"If this is what it's like to be dead, than being dead sucks!"
>"You are not dead. Not yet anyway."
>That sounds familiar.
"Jesus? You sound more feminine than I thought."
>Luna comes floating down from the... Sky void.
>"You are just dreaming. Now tell me, who's this 'Jesus'?"
>Well.
>This is a boring-ass dream.
"It's nothing. Is there something you'd like to tell me?"
>"We know that you are heading back to Ponyville. Does our sister know anything?"
"She knows many things."
>One of these days, being a smart-ass is the last thing you should do.
"She doesn't suspect anything."
>"You are aware that the Summer Sun Celebration is drawing near."
"I'm assuming that's the thing for your sister?"
>She nods while taking control of the dreamworld.
>"This is the first time, in over a few decades that the Celebration is going to be in Canterlot."
