- "What a bitch."
- >Dash nods in agreement with your statement.
- >Across the street, Lightning Dust is going for a jog in the park.
- >She isn't doing anything particularly malicious, but with Dust you never could tell.
- >Both you and Dash have had run ins with her that have bordered on the violent, Dash especially.
- >The two of you continue to glare in Dust's direction as she finishes another lap and slows to a walk.
- >Her exposed abs glisten with the sweat of nearly an hour's worth of running.
- >Rivulets of salty perspiration run down her muscular neck to her top, there to disappear in the absorbent fabric.
- >Despite her incredibly off putting personality, you've never denied that she was and is an incredibly attractive girl.
- >She would definitely give Dash a run for her money, something the rainbow haired girl didn't fail to notice.
- >"Come on Anon, let's get out of here. I've had more than enough of her for today.
- >She gets up from her seat and walks over to yours, grabbing your hand to pull you up as well.
- >Dash has already turned the corner, eager to put some distance between herself and her rival.
- >As you walk away from the outdoor café where you and Dash were, you steal one last glance at Dust.
- >She's looking straight at you.
- >But there's none of the familiar hostility.
- >Just a look of curiosity that, on her face, looks out of place.
- >It's a look that stops you in your tracks.
- >You look at her.
- >She looks at you.
- >...
- >You continue to look at her.
- >And... she continues to look at you, that curious look still on her face.
- >You have to admit, she's pretty when her face isn't contorted into her usual sneer or scowl.
- >"ANON!"
- >Dash's voice startles you.
- >Quickly turning towards her, you see that she's got an annoyed expression.
- >"Are you just going to stand there like some idiot? I said LET"S GO."
- >She starts to yank on your arm (Damn she's strong).
- >You glance back towards where Dust was.
- >Seems she's gone back to her run.
- >As Dash is dragging you along, you wonder what it was that makes you and Dust enemies.
- >Or is it rivals?
- >Whatever.
- >Thinking over it now, you always seem to be around Dash whenever Lightning Dust is around.
- >And Dash tends to become extremely short tempered whenever Dust shows her face, which makes for rather heated exchanges.
- >Maybe Dust isn't as bad you thought, and you just always get caught up in her and Dash's confrontations.
- >...
- >Who knows, you aren't about to waste your precious time trying to get to know the girl, you have more important things to do.
- >Like going to the theaters with Dash and watching that awesome new movie out.
- >Well, awesome is the word that Dash used to describe it.
- >She's into explosions and over the top action.
- >Perhaps a little TOO into them.
- >A week passes.
- >Dash is sick so she can't leave her house.
- >You've been there to see her, but you can't hang around there forever.
- >The way she talks about it you'd think she'd die without you there with her.
- >But you know her better than that.
- >"Come on Anon! Don't leave me here alone!"
- "Sorry Dash, but I can't stay here all day. I have things to do other than sit around shooting the shit with you, as tempting as that may sound."
- >Despite the Rainbow's protests, you leave with the promise that you'll stop by later on.
- >Walking back to your house, you realize that this is the first time that you've had this much free time without having Dash breathing down your neck.
- >Yes, that's right.
- >You lied to Dash, you actually had jack shit to do right now.
- >As good of a friend she may be, the girl didn't seem to know the definitions of "me time" or "personal space."
- >You usually wouldn't mind that, Dash being a hot girl and all, but she tested your patience in ways you had never thought of before.
- >She seemed almost possessive of you, always at your side, always wanting to hang out, and texting and calling you when she wasn't.
- >She didn't seem to like it when you hung out with other people, though she's never said anything about it directly.
- >She was like your creepy, obsessive girlfriend, if you had a girlfriend.
- >And Dash definitely wasn't your girlfriend (well, she's a girl and she's your friend, but that's beside the point).
- >And you're fairly sure neither of you is into the other like that.
- >Anyway, now would be a great time to do something on your own.
- >Like running! Yeah, that's a great idea!
- >The feel of the wind on your face, your feet pounding the ground, the light drizzle prickling you skin.
- >You quickly enter your house and change into your running clothes before running back out.
- >You begin to jog in the direction of the park, savoring the sensations of everything going on around you.
- >You feel the shock of your feet pounding the pavement.
- >Feel the light, cool touch of the still humid air.
- >Hear the dripping of the leftover rain droplets falling from leaf to leaf before finally meeting their end on the ground
- >Smell the earthy odor permeating the air.
- >See the park ahead, greener than usual.
- >Also less populated than usual, which is good for you.
- >You begin your first lap around when you see HER again.
- >There she is, her powerful legs pumping, propelling her forward at high speed.
- >She’s wet, either from sweat, rain, or a mixture of the two.
- >Her golden hair flowed behind her, braided up in that style she always wore.
- >She’s heading this way, though she hasn’t seen you yet.
- >Oh wait, she’s seen you.
- >With those beautiful, beautiful eyes of hers.
- >How have you never seen those before?
- >They’re that same color as the hair that flows from her head.
- >Are you staring?
- >Don’t stare
- >Don’t stare
- >You’re still staring.
- >“Hey.”
- >Oh shit, she snuck up on you.
- >What do you do?
- >Play it cool.
- “Hey.”
- >Yeah, that’s cool.
- >“Where’s Rainbow Dash? She’s usually with you, isn’t she?”
- “Eh, she’s home, sick.”
- >“What a shame.”
- >There’s that sarcasm you’re so used to.
- >“Going for a good run I see. I bet you could use a running partner.”
- “Whelp, I better get- wait, what?”
- >”Well, it’s usually better to run with a partner than by yourself, so why not?”
- “Uh, sure, let’s go.”
- >The two of you start to jog.
- >That’s weird.
- >Where’s the usual bitchiness?
- >Why isn’t she insulting you?
- >Moreover, why did you accept?
- >The two of you continue on, the only noises being that of the patter of your shoes on concrete and rhythmic breathing.
- >It’s nice, just going out to run with someone.
- >If it was Dash, she’d be pushing you into doing HIIT, and you ain’t with that, especially not on a day like this.
- >You are on your fourth lap around when Dust signals you to stop.
- >”Let’s take a little break. You look a little winded.”
- “What are you *huff* talking about? I can go *puff* for longer than thi-“
- >You start hacking and coughing.
- >Maybe she’s right.
- >A short break won’t hurt.
- >Probably.
- >The two of you find a bench to sit on.
- >”So… Anon. How have you been doing?
- “Fine. You?”
- >”Oh, um, could be doing better, but certainly not bad. Do you usually go out for runs like this?”
- “Not usually. Today seemed like a good day for it, and running with Dash usually doesn’t turn out good.”
- >”Oh? I never would have guessed.”
- >The two of you sit silently for a while longer before Dust gets up and dusts(lol) herself off.
- >"Well, I guess we've rested for long enough, why don't we get going?"
- >You get up and follow, passing the rest of your run in silence.
- >You guess she's not too bad.
