- >”Man anon, it’s getting late…”
- >Dash peered out the window at the setting sun as you sip your tea.
- “Yeah...”
- >After a few nervous glances in your direction and awkward silence, Dash spoke up.
- >”Hey anon… Can I maybe sleep over…?” She mumbled, blushing.
- >Dash wants to sleep over?
- >It’s not really that big of a shocker, the two of you had been together for a few months after all.
- >And you know how much she hates being alone.
- >You turn to her, smiling.
- “Sure.”
- >Dash smiles and pulls you into a hug.
- “Don’t you think it’s a bit too soon though?”
- >”What do you mean…” She gasps and playfully punches your shoulder, blushing harder. “Anon!”
- >Chuckling, you ruffle her mane a little.
- “Relax Dashie, we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”
- >The sun outside was now completely gone and Luna’s moon had started to ascend into the dark sky.
- >Looks like it’s time for bed.
- “I’m gonna go ahead and go to bed I guess, you coming?”
- >”Yeah!”
- >Immediately after you open the bedroom door, Dash flies past you and into the bed, diving under the covers.
- >Kinda cute in a way.
- >You stretch and yawn, then climb into the bed next to her.
- >Then you reach for the light…
- >”Anon you’re turning off the l- lights?” Her voice was shakey.
- >You cast her a questioning glance.
- “Yeah? Why?”
- >Her glance shifted from you and to the lamp, then back to you. “Nothing… Nevermind…”
- >Huh.
- >If you didn’t know any better, you’d assume Dash was afraid of the dark or something…
- >You lean over and turn the lamp off, casting the room in darkness.
- >Then you cover up and snuggle up next to Dash.
- >Dash does the same, covering her head with the sheet and burying her head in your chest, holding you tight.
- “Dash?”
- >She’s quiet for a second.
- >”Y- yes?”
- “Something wrong?”
- >...”No..”
- “Dash come on, I know when you are troubled, just tell me.”
- >”It’s silly…”
- “I bet it’s not.”
- >”Fine…” She grumbled. “I’m scared of…” she trails off, the sheet muffling her voice not making it easier to hear her.
- “What?”
- >Suddenly she throws the sheets off of her head. “I SAID I’M SCARED OF THE DARK!”
- >Rainbow Dash? Scared of the dark?
- “You are?”
- >You could make out her nodding.
- >This must be very hard for her.
- “Aw, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
- >You cover her up with the sheet and pull her back down to the bed, closer to you.
- >Holding her there gently.
- “I know how you feel, believe it or not.”
- >”What do you mean?”
- “When I was a kid, I was scared of the dark to where I would just leave the lights on all night… Burned through so much light bulbs.” You chuckled at the memory.
- >”But I’m an adult and I’m still afraid…”
- “Dash, there’s nothing wrong with being afraid of something. Everypony has a fear.”
- >You rub her mane a little, making her calm down a bit.
- >”But I’m Rainbow Dash… I’m not afraid of anything…”
- “So? You still are Rainbow Dash, and you are the bravest pony I know… Bravery or not, we all have fears;no one is fearless.”
- >Dash goes silent for a moment, thinking about what you said, before turning and kissing your cheek lightly.
- >”I guess...”
- “No problem. and besides, nothing in the dark will get you while I’m here.”
- >She giggles. “Hey anon?”
- “Yeah Dashie?”
- >“What’s your fear?”
- >This caught you a bit off guard, but after Dash was so honest with her telling you her fear, it would only be fair to return the honesty.
- “I’m afraid of spiders.”
- >”Really? They’re so small, though.”
- >You chuckle.
- “Back on Earth we had huge spiders, as big as my hand, and if they bit you there was a chance you could die.”
- >”Sounds scary.”
- “Yeah…”
- >Now you were really tired, and you could tell she was too judging from her yawn. It was time for sleep.
- >”Hey anon? Thanks for listening and not laughing at me about my fear… it makes me feel alot better actually… specially’ since you’re here.”
- >This brings a smile to your face.
- “Anytime, Dash…”
- >Kinda think of it, talking to her about your fear made you feel a bit better too.
- “Thanks for listening to mine, too. I feel better as well.”
- >Sighing lovingly, she moves her head back onto your chest, this time much more gentle than she was before.
- >No longer trembling.
- “Night Dashie.”
- >”Night anon…”
