A confession, some spaghetti and an irate pegasus part 2

>Twilight looks at you with one of her eyebrows raised, like she’s judging your very right to exist in the first place.
>Or she’s just confused. Fuck if you know. You can’t read pony expressions for shit
>No seriously. You can’t. The massive eyes, the ears and tail. It’s all just a mass overload of information, and sometimes it seems contradictory.
>Trying to keep a track of every little tell, and then paint a picture with all the information you may or may not have gathered has resulted in more than one unpleasant misunderstanding.
>Not really too surprising. You couldn’t read people back home for shit either.
>This has resulted in you almost giving up trying to read ponies mood.
>Looking from Twilight over to the pegasus deathbringer you notice something odd.
>She’s holding one hoof in front of her face. Shaking uncontrollably.
>Shaking intensifies.
>Twilight seems to notice as well and has stopped giving you the judgmental eyebrow
>She needed that eyebrow so she could give the shaking Pegasus the quizzical eyebrow instead.
>”Rainbow? What’s wrong with you?”
>That apparently, opened the floodgates.
>It started with a snort, then a gasping giggle.
>And then it devolved into a full on guffaw with spit, tears and snot.
>You woulda been put out hadn’t it been for the fact that her voice cracking laughter was entirely too infectious and you started slowly giggling too.
>And of course, that leaves purple princess looking at you two as if you’ve grown three heads and pinkie was cleaning out the leftmost heads ear.
>”What is wrong with you two!?”
>Oopsie, Twilight seems to be at the end of her patience.
>After several seconds of dry heaving from Rainbow, you managed to get yourself together enough to talk
“Well… It was an honest question”
>You say defensively
>Twilight just groans and face hoof's

>Rainbow get’s her head up on the table in front of you and manages to talk through several halting giggles.
>”Aah. That was great. You saying that with a straight face, tied to a chair like that. Perfect!”
>You snicker and give her a wink
>You bold green bastard you
>Twilight, now having finished with giving herself a face massage turns back to you two with a serious expression.
>”Now, I’ve called you two guys here so-”
“I got dragged against my will and tied to a chair, so I resent that”
>”Ugh! Fine. I’ve called Rainbow here and tied you up so that you don’t go disappearing again like the last seven times.”
“Thank you. Just wanting it clear”
>”So! That you two can talk out whatever differences you have and I don’t have to go around feeling a disturbance in the friendship magic anymore”
“Twilight. I am your father”
>”What? No. No I don’t even want to know. You are to talk this out and neither of you are coming out until you do.”
>Twilight promptly leaves the room, closes the exit and puts up some sort of shimmering magic field over the interior.
>You look over at Rainbow, who is just looking after Twilight with a raised eyebrow.
>”What’s her deal?” She asks, looking at you inquisitively.
>You look back at her and give one of those universal “Fuck’d if I know” look.
“Would you mind untying me? The ropes chafing”
>Rainbow gets up and clops over to you, trying to undo the knot keeping you tied up.
>It’s at her close proximity you promptly remember that you were scared for your life.
>And now, she’s behind you.
>Where you can’t see what she’s doing.
>And she’s got a rope to strangle you with.
>Sweat starting to accumulate on your brow as you hurriedly start stuttering out the first thing that comes to mind.
“I AM SO SORRY I MESSED UP YOUR TRAINING! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!”
>Spaghetti level overflowing, reaching critical mass. Incoming noodle payload. Immediate evasive maneuvers recommended.

“I’LL EVEN PREEN YOUR WINGS!”
>Evasive maneuvers failed. Abandon ship! I repeat! Abandon ship!
… She’s going down sir. Any last statements?
-Never did have a chance with that vessel anyway. Hopefully the next one will be inclined to listen to my advice-
Not a chance in hell brain.
-Ah well. One can dream-
>Rainbow stopped fidgeting with the knot behind the chair and clopped around to look at you.
>She’s got this “Wat” expression combined with “This guy needs medical attention”
>”Are you okay? You know I wasn’t really that angry with you right? I mean, c’mon I got over that weeks ago! Is that why you’ve been running away full spring every time I flew by?”
>Rainbow looks into the vacant expression on your face, confused by your stillness.
>Eyes are glassed over.
>Mouth hanging open in slack jawed expression.
>”Hello~ Equestria to green dude! You okay in there?”
-Is she talking to me?-
Nope, pretty sure she’s talking to the conscious
-Didn’t we give up on that guy?-
Don’t ask me, I’m the one responsible for the feelings. Driving this thing is your job.
-Fucking hell… Never appreciated-
… Booting Consciousness ....
!WARNING! Dangerous levels of shame and self disgust has contaminated the executable “Consciousness” Do you wish to proceed? Y/N
-God dammit heart. Why are you making my job worse?-
Dude. I’m just doing my job. He fucked up. He’s gotta feel the consequences.
-I swear to God, one of these days I’m just shutting myself off and you can be a vegetable for all I care-
... Y …
… Boot complete …
“HOLY FLAMINGO WITH BALLERINA SKIRT!”
>You are acutely aware of your surroundings.
>You also want to dig a ditch and die in it.
>Pretty sure your face has changed colors from green to red sometime in the past 10 seconds.
>”Oookay. I’ll just get you out of that chair and you can be on your way. Sounds good? Great!”
>Rainbow has abandoned the untying tactic and is not just straight out gnawing on the ropes

>You have the distinct impression she wants to get away from you as fast as humanly possible. Which, in retrospect isn’t all that fast, when she’s a pegasus.
>As fast as pegasly possible?
>Sounds off…
”I’m sorry, I think I just freaked out for a second there.”
>There’s a snort from behind your chair
>”You think? Don’t worry about it. I’ll get you loose, and I’ll be out of your mane or whatever.”
>By the tone of her voice she sounds sorta upset.
>That’s not what you want.
>For one, she’s saved your life.
>She might also end said life in a fit of rage
>Better work this out. Somehow.
”I am really sorry about messing up your training back then”
>You are talking with your voice so dripping in added guilt it’s liable to drown somebody.
>”Seriously, don’t worry about it. I’ve talked to Twilight and heard how you weren’t in control of what was going on”
>Rainbow had gotten you loose at this point and was standing in front of your chair again.
>”In fact, I should be the one to apologize for yelling so much at you. From what I heard, you thought you were going to die”
>Looking at her slightly guilty expression with her eyes averted and head slightly downcast sent a flutter through your chest.
>You don’t know why, but it almost physically hurt to see her like this.
>Damn ponies and their diabetes inducing cuteness
“No Rainbow. It’s okay! You saved my life. I can’t ever thank you enough for that”
>Snapping out of her funk so fast you almost got a whiplash she stands in a proud pose
>”Ehehe, just being awesome as usual. You’re very welcome”
>The cocky grin and with her wings splayed upwards makes her so adorable you can’t contain a snicker
>”W-what? It’s true!”
>Rainbow’s glaring at you with an indignant expression on her face
“Yes, yes it is. I’m sorry Rainbow, you were just acting so adorable for a second there I couldn’t help myself”
>Her wings flapping Rainbow stomps a hoof into the ground
>”I’m not adorable!”
>She promptly turns around and leaves the room.
>That is, she tried to leave the room but slams headfirst into the unopenable door.
>”Horseapples! Twilight! Open this door! We’re done!”
