Hey there every pony! Welcome back to A Brony Life! Where the name is so simple, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another story with the same name!

Anyway, I know that I left you all on a bit of a cliffhanger-

Trixie: A bit?! *she came into view, as did Dino and Theo* How in Equestria or Earth is that cliffhanger you left us on small?! Trixie literally fell off the edge of her stage in anger because it ended out of nowhere!

Okay so maybe it wasn't that small of a... Wait, I thought you said that you never read my story.

Trixie: *blushes lightly* O-oh did I?

Yeah! You said you would never read anything that was as amateur a writing as mine!

Trixie: Well um... You see Trixie was bored after every pony left her performance... And there was nothing else to read at the time... So I went ahead and did it out of...Boredom! Yes, that's the only reason Trixie would only read it! She was bored!

Uh-huh, sure I'll buy that. *I said sarcastically* Well anyway! I have a few surprises every pony! And what better way to start than with the dares!

Trixie: Yes, finally! So which character are we bringing in to punish and/or humiliate with the dares?! *smiles at the thought of the entertainment*

Well, that's one of the surprises! Because the answer to that is... No pony!

Trixie: Got it! *turns to Theo* Okay Theodore, go and get-no pony?!

That's right! No pony is coming into the intros to do a dare!

Trixie: Does that mean that it involves us? Wait! Please don't tell me it was that dare sent in where the two of us have to-

No, the dare doesn't involve us either! And there's a simple and obvious answer for that! We aren't doing any dares this intro!

Trixie: What?! But, we always do the dares! It wouldn't be the same if we left those out! It'd be like taking out the top comments for the chapter!

Oh that's right! Thanks for reminding me Trixie! We won't be doing the top comments either!

Trixie: W-we won't be... How come you never told me?!

Because I didn't want to. Don't worry though, I have a good reason for both! For the top comments, instead will just show the votes about who thought RD would win compared to BZ. You know, since the whys and how are either the same or self-explanatory.

Trixie: Okay, and the dares?

As for the dares, well... If we did any in the intro, that'd be too many dares in one chapter.

Trixie: Too many dares in one chapter?! How does that even make sense-

Getting right to the polls though, let's see what every pony thought about the race outcome!

For Rainbow Dash winning, we have: 1 1/2

For Electric Blitz winning, we have: 5 1/2

Wow, I hope Rainbow Dash doesn't see those results. She would be so angry right now.

Speaking of, can we at least bring her in?! Honestly, I we not doing any dares or bringing in any guests this intro?!

Not at all. I told you, it'd make five dares if we did even one in the intro. And what I mean by that, well you'll all have to figure that out later! So until then, see you later every pony!

Trixie: Not one dare?! I'd even settle for the one about us dati-

DON'T SAY IT! BYE EVERY PONY!

Intro Area Decorations to Date: A very realistic sky with a sun in the middle, A baby pony-sized T-Rex with a top hat named Dino, the TARDIS, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano) who is wearing a Trixie shirt, a silver Lucario statue standing right next to Stepony, a baby ninja bear with a ninja mask and wooden katana named 'The Intelligent and Creative Theodore' (Theo), and a TV with a HayStation hooked up to it.

Disclaimer (As told by Trixie): Zeke doesn't own MLP. All he owns is this idea, Blitz, Dino, RJ, Theo, and anything else that he's personally created throughout the story. That not including the three background characters that belong to three of the readers that read this story!

Twilight's POV

"No no no! They're around here somewhere! They have to be!" I yelled out in my moment of panic, running towards the small little forest that we had seen them crash-land into. "Spike, do you see them anywhere?!"

"No, not at all!" He told me from on top of my back. He and I had run off to try to find them, hoping that they were alright. I knew that those two were going to go a little too far with their race, but I didn't expect this! They got hurt, and I couldn't help but blame myself. After all, I was the one that had started all of this.

That didn't help as we stopped in place to look around. Spike standing up on my back to get a good look around. "Well keep looking! They have to be around here somewhere! Maybe in a tree, or a crater in the ground given the speed they were crashing in! Who knows just what's happened to them! They might be hurt, or unconscious, or maybe even-"

"Maybe even sitting under a tree looking into each other's eyes!" He said in both relief and glee. This making me go wide-eyed in shock.

"Wait, they're doing wha-" Before I could finish, Spike covered my mouth and pointed me towards the big bush that was next to me. Not questioning it, I walked into the bush and moved a branch that was in front of me to try to look around. And what I saw was both shocking, and wonderful!

There was a clearing, along with an imprint in the ground that led from the middle to the big tree at the edge of the clearing. That's where Rainbow Dash and Blitz were. Saying something that we couldn't hear from where we were. Not to mention the sound of sparking electricity from Blitz's tail that was nearby wasn't making it easier for us to hear.

Still, we were able to watch as they were just kept looking into their eyes. Both of them having the same expression. Lovestruck. And that was something that both me and Spike smiled about. Even though it didn't go as planned, our plan worked. We wanted to try to trick the two of them into racing one another. And with racing, Blitz would see that they had a lot in common with one another. Maybe even a moment coming from it.

Which it did! While we were perfectly fine without something like this happening, it helped us even more than we could have thought! Now all that was left was to go and see if they were okay! Well, that was obvious since that was the only reason we ran out to get them in the first place.

"Wait, what's happening now?" Spike asked, trying to get a better look. Not having as good a view as me since I was looking out the hole in the bush. This made me focus my attention back on the two of them. And what I saw made me gasp.

"Oh no, their leaning in to kiss!" I yelled in a whisper, careful not to give us away. This wasn't good at all! I needed to stop them!

"Holy Guacamole!" Spike said quietly, trying to see for himself. "Really, that's gr-EAT!" He yelled as he fell off my back. Me running into the clearing.

"There you two are!" I suddenly yelled out, making them jump in surprise. And after scrambling to get away from each other, not wanting me to see them together, they both tried to look casual. Both of their faces redder than an apple while they stood there. Refusing to look at one another. "What's wrong?! Are you two okay?!" I asked, trying to sound completely clueless about what I just saw. "Did...Did something just happen?"

Blitz cleared his throat first, trying to stop being so red. "Oh, uh...You see, what had happened was..."

"My wing cramped up!" Rainbow Dash suddenly yelled out, trying to make an excuse for the both of them.

I mentally sighed in relief, glad that I was able to stop them before they kissed. If I hadn't, then it would've been hard to go on from there. But still, I couldn't just ignore that moment they had if our plan was to work. So I rose an eyebrow to her and spoke up. "Your wing? But, it looks fine to me."

"R-really?" Rainbow Dash asked, now starting to break into a sweat. Getting desperate. "W-well it is! Yeah, it hurts so much! Owww!..." She said, now pretending that it had cramped up as she rubbed it to help stop the pain that wasn't there. Using this excuse to not make eye contact with me and Spike. Who was just now coming out as he was holding his tail. Annoyed that it was sore from landing on it when he fell off me. Oops, sorry Spike.

"What about you Blitz? Is your wing cramped up too?" I asked, expecting him to play along. Especially since he was the one that looked like he was dragged through the ground. That's when I heard it. "Wait a second. Is your ear playing music?"

At that moment, both he and Rainbow Dash went wide-eyed. Realizing that the music was still playing. Quickly before we heard anymore, Blitz reached for his ear. Hurrying to shut it off as if it would've given away everything that happened.

Turning back towards me, seeing my confused look. Not to mention a slight smirk that I couldn't conceal well enough. And upon seeing that, I could see him wince silently as he put it all together.

"No...No, I'm fine." He said slowly, frowning at me a little. But even though I knew he would tell me something like that, he didn't even sound a little injured. He looked so scratched up and dirty that I expected him to at least wince in pain a little or be holding any part of him that was sore. To my surprise though, he acted like he wasn't hurt at all.

"Really? Sure you're not just a little hurt? It looks like you had a great fall." I said, concerned for real about his health.

"No I'm...Perfectly fine...Surprisingly..." He said, confused about it himself. As if he didn't understand just what happened to him. It was like he didn't know how to believe it was his own lie. At that point, Rainbow Dash stopped looking at her fake injury and looked to Blitz. Concerned that he wasn't as okay as he said.

Still, I didn't question it as I just continued on. "Well good thing you two are okay. Every pony else is waiting at the finish line for you two to finish the race. No doubt they wanna know what happened."

"They...All want to know what happened?" Blitz asked, both he and Rainbow Dash went wide-eyed about that as they imagined just how bad that would turn out.

"Aw, that's too bad!" Rainbow Dash said, sounding like she was faking her sadness. "Because I just remembered that I...Have to go to Rarity's to help her with something!" She said, coming up with an excuse to get out of this awkward problem.

I knew that she was telling the truth though since Rarity told me so after I went over to her Boutique. She said that she asked Rainbow if she could help model for some outfits strictly for pegasi. I guess she would rather be there right now than here anyway.

"Well in that case, you might want to hurry before it's too late." I told her.

"Yeah, good idea...See you later Blitz." She told him, flying away as fast as she could before she could be stopped. Not wanting to have to explain anything. Not to mention, forgetting that she was supposed to have a cramped wing.

As soon as she left though, Blitz immediately frowned right at us. "Okay, how long were you two behind that-"

"The whole time." I answered with a knowing smile. "So... Anything you want to say?" I asked, knowing that it wouldn't be easy for him to just deny all of this.

"You guys are stalkers." He said, turning away. "And I'm outta here." He said, taking a step forward. But the second he did, he collapsed to the ground. "Ugh!...Ow!..."

"So you aren't okay!" I yelled out in shock, seeing just how hurt he was. I wasn't able to see his back until now, and now I wish I hadn't. It was dirty and scratched up so much that his back and wings were not only black from his coat color. But also purple, blue, and very red. And not just from being sore either. "You're bleeding!"

"H-how...How come it hurts!..." He said, trying to stand back up. Spike quickly ran over to his side, helping him up to his hooves. "It did...It didn't hurt a minute ago..." He continued.

"What do you mean it didn't hurt before?!" I asked, not seeing how that made any sense. He clearly had some bad injuries. Maybe not broken bones, but definitely bleeding and sore. It wasn't something that any pony could just ignore though, that's for sure!

"I don't know. It just didn't a few seconds after me and Rainbow Dash landed. And right when she left, it feels like a tank just shot me." He said, holding one of his wings in pain as he got one of the bigger rocks out that had been jammed in between his feathers.

"Rainbow Dash huh?" Spike asked, focusing on that subject. And seeing how it appeared to relate to Rainbow, I just smiled along with Spike towards Blitz. Seeing the obvious.

"Yeah, right when she left it all came right back to me. It was weird though because..." He stopped talking as he saw us smile knowingly, able to figure it all out. And once he did, he just frowned at us. "You cannot be serious, right?" He asked us with a deadpanned, but still painful, expression. Hoping that we weren't smiling for the reason he thought.

"Blitz, isn't it obvious? What happened earlier just proved it all even more." I told him, telling him directly to try to avoid him trying to talk his way out of this.

"Seriously? I mean...Seriously? It was all in the moment!" He tried to excuse. "We were barely conscious from the crash, I had saved her life which wouldn't have even needed saving if she didn't go too far, and it was just talking! That was it!"

"What about you two trying to kiss?" Spike asked, reminding him of that.

"Well..." He started, thinking back to it. But after a few seconds, he just shook the thought from his head literally and glared at the both of us. "It was nothing okay? I don't have a crush on Rainbow Dash. End of story!" He said with anger, shaking his head again to try to keep that memory from resurfacing again. He then launched his metal hoof over to his tail that had finally dispelled the electricity and put it back in place. He then started walking away.

"Where are you going?!" I asked, trying to keep up with him since he was still very hurt. But before I could get over to him, he positioned his tail so it was in my way. Much like a Canterlot Guard with their wings as they guarded a doorway.

"Away from here. I'm tired, sore, and just want to take a stupid nap! So just leave me alone alright?!" He asked, sounding exhausted. And I couldn't blame him. Any pony that went through so much today with very little sleep had to be cranky and tired. He needed some time to sleep.

"What do we do Twilight?" Spike asked, unsure about what our next plan was. All this time, he was following my lead. Going along with me since I wanted to help him convince Blitz to help him with Rarity. I didn't get why Blitz was the best tutor on dating in Spike's eyes, but I did understand how important it was to Spike. So I wanted to help him out best I could. Owing him at least that much as a good friend.

"Blitz just needs to sleep on everything. He has had a long day. After a while, we'll talk to him again. Hopefully when he's not as cranky." I told Spike, turning towards Ponyville to get back to the library. Spike followed suit by jumping on my back, riding all the way back. We'll let him rest and then talk to him. It wouldn't be a good idea to keep talking to Blitz about the subject over and over again.

Rainbow Dash's POV

"Finally, I'm here!" I said, shaking away what had just happened for the tenth time now. I don't even know what happened! Yeah I went to far with the race, and I was glad Blitz saved me from face-planting into the ground but... Why did it matter that much?! I mean, I've taken worst hits from trying out stunts before! The time when I ended up in the hospital for my wing was a worse crash than this! So why was I so grateful about him saving me?

"Ugh! Forget it!" I yelled out, shaking the memory out of my head again! Seriously, why is it so hard for me to ignore?!

Whatever, it was all over now. Rarity said she needed me and Fluttershy be models and try on all these dresses that were specially meant for pegasi. It sounded really boring, I know, but at least it would keep me busy instead of having to tell every pony at the finish line just what happened.

So not wanting to waste one more second, I walked inside and saw Fluttershy and Rarity in there immediately. Fluttershy already wearing one of the dresses Rarity was fixing so it would be ready for a pegasus to wear in the sky.

"Oh, there you are Rainbow Dash! Glad you could make it! Please, stand on this podium whilst I finish up this dress." She told me, turning back towards Fluttershy.

Not complaining, I stepped right onto it. And looking around, I saw that she had about twenty more dresses left to fix. I sighed at how much more boring this would be than I thought, but didn't say anything about it. No matter how boring it was still better than thinking about Blitz and-GAH! Stop thinking about it! It was an accident! He just saved me because he was there at the time! If any pony else had the chance, they would've done the exact same thing! Why is it so hard to forget that ever hap-

"So Rainbow Dash, what happened anyway?" Rarity said, coming over to me with a really girly dress in tow. She then used her magic to make the dress appear on me, not wanting me to take forever putting it on.

"Oh, right. Sorry I'm late, it took longer than I thought to-"

"It's alright darling. I know about the race." Rarity assured me, making me confused. It she went from the cider line straight here, than how did she- "Twilight came by earlier and told me about it." Oh, well that explains it. "What I meant was, how did the race go?"

"How did it go?" I asked, making sure I heard her right as she worked on the wing hole of the dress.

"Yes. How did the race go? Which one of you won? Was it an easy victory or a surprisingly difficult one?" Rarity asked, making it clearer for me.

"Which one of us won, well uh, let's see..." I said, tripping over my own words. Whether I wanted to or not, all I could keep going back to was the crash landing. And I knew that it was obvious because I saw my reflection in the mirror that I had been forced to look at. Seeing my face start to turn red like a loser.

Good thing Rarity didn't notice since she was too busy working on the dress to see me. "Of course! Why am I even asking such a silly question?" She asked herself. "It's obvious that you won, or else you would be sad or furious about the race right now. So, just tell me this much, did you get a chance to see Blitz's face when you beat him?! Was he astonished, or did he expect it?" She asked, not realizing just how awkward these questions were for me.

Since I was still stuck on the crash landing though, her questions only made me think about Blitz more. Not to mention, make my face turn even more red. "W-well I don't if, um...I wouldn't say that I..." I kept stuttering, sounding just like Fluttershy right now. I didn't even know what to say since her questions had a double meaning to me.

"Almost...Done!" Rarity yelled out, finishing the work on the dress I had on. She then took it off with her magic and hung it on a different clothing rack. Getting another one and putting it on me. This one not as frilly, but still wasn't even close to being cool. "Anyway, I understand if you didn't see the look on his face when you bested him. You were probably too busy celebrating over your victory yes?" She asked as she went over to Fluttershy. Now working on the dress she was working on.

I sighed in relief, glad I didn't have to answer that. Too bad Rarity had another comment. "Of course if I were perhaps in your position, I'd celebrate too if I could taste victory that easily."

"Taste?! What do you mean taste?! I didn't taste anything!" I exclaimed, getting even more red in the face. Redder than the red in my mane. Yet somehow, Rarity wasn't paying attention as she worked on Fluttershy's dress.

"But still, I need to ask. Were you glad you won the head to head race?" Rarity continued, still not paying that much attention.

"H-he-head to head?!" I stuttered, now turning more red than I thought I could. So much so, I could feel my face burning up with embarrassment.

Rarity didn't notice any of it, thank Celestia, but it didn't stop her from asking her questions either.

"Yes? And how close was the race exactly?" Rarity asked. "Did you beat Blitz by a landslide? Or was it as if you to were right on top of each other?"

"Close?...Landslide...Top of each other?..." I repeated the words, those three things describing exactly what had happened. Rarity was completely left out about how I was reacting to all of this. And thank Celestia she was, because I did NOT want to explain any of this to her.

"Um, Rainbow Dash? Are you okay? You look a little red." Fluttershy noted, worried if I was okay or not. This making me go wide-eyed because until now I forgot all about her. And how she was able to see my face from where she was standing.

"O-of course I'm okay! Why wouldn't I be okay?!" I asked, not wanting them to figure anything out. Sadly, this of all things finally made Rarity look up and at me.

"Wait one moment, you most certainly are not okay!" Rarity yelled out in realization, seeing my face and figuring it all out in an instant.

"Yes I am!" I yelled out in desperation, not wanting her of all ponies to know what happened. She'd just love to talk about this kind of junk.

"No, you are not Rainbow Dash." Rarity said, taking the finished dress off of Fluttershy before putting her in another one. She then came over to me and started working on the dress she had put me in. Looking at me all the while. "I have seen that look on many a pony before, and I will not just leave it alone while one of my friends are going through it." She told me.

"No I swear, there's nothing wrong!" I said desperately, ready to deny everything she was about to say. "Whatever you think it is, it's nothing!"

"But it is." She said, looking at me with a concerned tone. "You lost the race didn't you?!" She asked. Saying it quickly so it would be as painless as a bandage.

"No, I didn't almost kiss... Wait. What did you say?!" I asked, making sure I heard her right. What she said was different from what I thought she was going to say.

And after looking at me for a few more seconds with a raised eyebrow, trying to figure out what I said before stopping myself, she went ahead and moved on. So I guess that, somehow, she didn't hear what I said. "You lost the race, didn't you?" She asked calmly, wanting to make sure she heard me right.

"Lose the race? Uh..." I said, taking this moment to calm down. So she didn't find out what really happened?... This is perfect! "Well, I wouldn't say lose exactly..." I started, trying to figure out what to come up with.

"So...You two tied?" Fluttershy asked from her stand, wondering if that was what I was trying to say.

"Tie... Yeah! Yeah, it was a tie!" I answered, thinking about it for a few seconds before going on. "It was a really close race! The start of the race, to Sweet Apple Acres, I thought Blitz had crashed for good and thought it was in the bag!" I told them, telling the truth about what happened before we 'tied'.

"Oh my! Blitz crashed into the ground?" Rarity asked, surprised by that.

"Yeah, but somehow he launched himself out of Applejack's barn and right back into the air. So by the time we got past Fluttershy's house, I used my Sonic Rainboom to fly right past him!" I told them, smirking about how great it was to show him up. "But after passing Ponyville and reaching my house, I started to get tired from using it. But Blitz was still flying with his Adrenaline Rush and started to pass me."

"So that's what that odd jagged yellow streak in the air was. I was wondering what created that pattern." Rarity said, figuring out what that was. I guess they saw him passing by. At this point, she finished fixing the dress and got it off. Getting a new one ready to put on me. But waited until I was done with my story.

"Yeah. But I wasn't about to let him pass me by!" I told them, trying to get back to the story. "So I kept using my Rainboom, not stopping it yet even though it hurt after using it for so long. That's when we got to Old Mare Crankle's house and passed by that huge amount of gathered up storm clouds." I told them, trying to make the story sound as awesome as I could.

"You-you went by that creepy place?" Fluttershy asked, shaking at the mere mention of that place.

"Yep." I said boastfully. "But that wasn't even the best part! Right as I was passing by it, I got hit by a small bit of lightning! And then started to fall down to the ground below." I told them, still making the best of it.

"You got hit by lightning?!" Rarity asked next, surprised.

"Uh-huh!" I confirmed with a nod, closing my eyes and letting that much sink in. Wanting to get as much as I could out of the amazing story I was telling.

"So! What happened next?!" Rarity asked, wanting me to hurry and tell the next part. Not wanting me to leave them off on a big cliffhanger like some kind of stupid, amateur writer. Because wow did I hate it when they do that!

"What happened next?..." I said, pausing for dramatic effect. "Well what happened was, Blitz flew by and-" I put a hoof over my mouth, realizing just what I was about to say. "He...He tried to take that opportunity to pass right by me! Yeah! He flew right by, thinking he would be able to win the race no problem!" I made up, able to figure something out before they could ask.

"But I wouldn't let him! I recovered and flew right after him! Catching up to him before he could win the race! Good thing it was too close to call too. Because if I won, I might have had to tell Blitz that I beat him." I told them, looking confident as I finished my story. And it all ended perfectly. They didn't suspect anything!

Rarity's POV

Now just what is Rainbow Dash hiding?

As I went over her story in my mind, having heard everything she said since coming here, I knew something else had happened. Something else that she didn't want us to know about. She had been stuttering over almost everything, blushing about something she remembered from all those words she repeated, not to mention that slip of the tongue.

So what was it? The words she focused on; 'Close', 'Landslide', and 'top of each other'... It was about her and some pony wasn't it?! Yes, that's the only logical explanation! So there was some pony else, hm?...

"So...Anything happen afterwards?" I asked, trying to find out.

"Not really. I came right back here after the race was over." She told me with a shrug. Not hearing any answers, I went ahead and pressed on. Quickly placing the dress back on the rack and replacing it with a different one. One that looked like it was made specially for Rainbow Dash. It had multiple colors, yet was simple and had focused on red primarily. And of course being that these dresses were for the dance in Cloudsdale for Advanced Flight School, it had a sky design on it. All of this being perfect for Rainbow Dash.

So, using my magic to have Rainbow wear the dress, I spoke up once again. "Nothing? You didn't bump into any pony on the way over?" I asked, pretending to work on the dress even though it was one I had already worked on.

"No, not on the way over here. Why?" She asked, wondering why I had questioned her. She had no reason to lie about not seeing any pony. And if she did she would've stuttered like she did everything else.

"What about during the race?" I asked. "Did you happen to see any pony during the race?" I continued, trying to see if that was it.

"Uh, no. No pony at all." She answered hesitantly. Which I silently thought about for a few seconds. "Why does that matter?" She asked, trying to stop me from asking.

"Oh, I'm trying to see if you saw any pony that wasn't originally from Ponyville." I answered, coming up with an excuse. "Are you sure? Not even while you were recovering from the blast?" I asked her, trying to see if that's when it happened. That is when she stopped to think for a few moments.

"Recovering?... Oh, right!" She said, remembering that part of her story. Wait, why would she- "I didn't see any pony then either. Sorry." She answered.

"So. The only pony you saw was Blitz?" I asked, checking one last time before I moved on.

"Yeah! Only pony I had a chance to see face to face was Blitz after the race ended." She told me, getting a little cautious about my questioning.

"Well alright, if you say... Wait, I thought you said you didn't have time to speak with Blitz because you had to hurry and come here." I tried to clear up. Catching that error in her story.

"Uh-well... Y-you're right! I-I didn't say anything to Blitz after I recovered from the crash!" She defended, confusing me. I looked over to Fluttershy to see that she was just as confused about that. She didn't say crash before... What if she and he...No! That couldn't possibly be the answer!...But could it?...

"What crash?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her. That made her start to freak out as she realized just what she said. She even started to blush again.

"Did I say crash?! Ha! I didn't mean crash I meant...Uh...Is-how hot is it in here anyway?" She asked, trying to change the subject. "It feels like I'm gonna die right now!" She added, breaking into a nervous sweat.

There was no doubt. Something else happened instead. She couldn't have won the race if she crashed. She couldn't even have crashed if Blitz flew right by. But if she didn't lose, then Blitz didn't cross the finish line either...

"Didn't you say that you recovered from the lightning and tied in the race? Where does the crash come into play? And did Blitz even finish the race?" I asked, trying to get a clear answer from this.

"Well-um-you see-that's easy to...Um..." She stammered, not having any clue how to answer me. She didn't have anything to say that would get her out of this so... Where does that leave her but the truth?

"Oh, would you look at that! There's a few clouds I forgot to bust this morning!" She tried excusing in a desperate attempt to now get away.

"But, we were in line for apple cider this morning..." Fluttershy said, slightly confused about Rainbow's excuse.

"I guess that explains just why I didn't bust that cloud this morning! Well, as much as I'd love to stay and talk about the race, I gotta dash! See you tomorrow!" She said, flying as fast as she could towards the window to escape. Not realizing that she was wearing the dress I put her in.

On purpose, knowing that she'd fly away of course.

"Oh my, is she going to be okay?" Fluttershy asked, looking towards the window.

"Oh something tells me that she's going to be just fine. Especially now that she has that outfit on." I said with glee. There was a good chance that she was going to meet whoever this pony that she might have a crush on and speak to him. And while wearing that gorgeous dress, it might make the moment so much more enchanting!

And even if she wasn't going to meet him, the dress still looked great on her.

(Some Time Later?)

Blitz's POV

"Oh man, that was a great nap!" I exclaimed out loud, waking up after a well needed nap. And boy did I need it! I thought that Twilight and Spike would've found me by now, but I guess they couldn't find me. Good thing I came to the lakeside to rest. No pony would ever think to look for me here. At least, not for a while anyway.

So as I sat up, I looked around to make sure I was alone. And after being sure, I had realized something else.

"Jeez, how long was I out?" I asked myself as I looked at the sky. It was dark out and the moon is in that perfect spot. The perfect spot for a sappy romance movie anyway. I mean, since when does the moon ever look like that? Not to mention, there's Luna's symbol plastered right on front of the thing...

Wait a second! I'm dreaming right now aren't I?! Okay, I'll admit that it was a good enough try. "We'll played Luna...Well played..." I said out loud, knowing that she'd hear me. I almost fell for it too.

She tried to trick me like this all the time by making it look like real life. Whenever I went to bed for the night, she would make my dream start off as if it's morning. Sun and all. And it looked so realistic too. Only, the sun or moon always had her little symbol on it, and my 'friends' could never remember what happened yesterday.

So knowing that it was a dream, I stood up on all fours and closed my eyes to help me imagine the world around me turning completely into flat, empty grassland. It's what I do to start out every dream to help start from scratch. And after about ten seconds of this, I opened my eyes to see that-nothing changed at all.

I slid back to the ground in confusion, wondering just why Luna was keeping me from changing around my dream. "Why won't you let me do anything?" I asked the moon, knowing that Luna was listening. That symbol meant that she was watching over my dream, so what was her reason for it?

And the only way she answered my question, was by leaving. Yep. Right after asking her what she was doing, she just stopped watching over my dream and left me alone. This making her symbol in the moon go away too. "Okay, what's going on?" I asked out loud, trying to figure this out for myself.

"What was that Blitz?" I heard a very familiar voice ask from right beside me. A voice that I did not want to hear at all for the rest of the day. It sounded peaceful and calm, which was what caught me off-guard the most. She almost never sounded like this. Except for that one time...

Still, I just had to remember that this was all just a dream Luna was putting me through. So I took a breath and turned towards her. Ready to just power through this dream by making it clear itself up. All I had to do was question it then say it wasn't real. "Rainbow Dash, what are you-woah..." I said, completely taken back at the sight of her.

She had on a red dress with a design that matched her. The dress looking like something Rarity had made for her. That, along with her mane looking all fixed up, had made me stop me mid-sentence. She looked so amazing that I couldn't even keep myself from just staring at her.

She just giggled a little and spoke up. "What am I doing here? Seriously? You asked me out remember?" She asked, acting as if that was obvious enough. But instead of making me remember that little detail, I just got even more freaked out. More caught off-guard by what she was saying. Luna was definitely behind all of this, and if she was trying to embarrass me or something...It was working. And I thought Celestia was the one that trolled ponies...

"I-I-I A-a-asked you o-out?!" I asked, stuttering like an idiot at how weird that was. At this point, I was just thinking 'screw logic' since I could barely piece together what was going on in dreamland to begin with! What is Luna doing right now?!

HAHA! HEY EVERY PONY! It's me from the intro! Yep! Bet you didn't expect me to break into the middle of the story huh?! Oh, and while I'm at it...

Sent in from dazza the lucario (dazza): I dare Zeke to break the fourth wall at some point during the episode.

What's up?! See?! Told you I hang onto these dares! This was one of the first ones I ever got! And man is it great! Anyway, while were here, I have a few dares to reveal! As you just read above, they're having a romantic picnic date and Blitz asked out RD. So... How many dares did I just take care of?

Sent in from Justus80: I dare blitz and rainbow dash to go on a date, they can do what they want but It must include a picnic by the lake when the moon is out...unless there afraid that is.

Sent in from Swift Lightning: I dare Blitz to ask Rainbow Dash out!

Sent in from bathroomstahl: I have a dare for Blitz and Rainbow Dash. I dare them to go on a date XD.

If there's any pony I missed that sent in a dare about these two dating, I'm sorry. I tried my best to find all of these, but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed one. I need to re-organize these dares after this chapter.

Trixie: Zeke, what are you doing?! Stop interrupting the chapter!

What?! Oh no, you found me! *Trixie starts dragging me out* Hold on! If were interrupting them like a dumb commercial break, we at least need advertisements! Something that isn't GTA V since every pony's advertising that! Uh... THEO! PLAY US OUT! *Trixie finally pulls me away, and starts zipping up the fourth wall*

Theo: *Appears with a Pokémon X case and a Pokémon hat overtop his ninja mask* BUY POKEMONS!

*4th wall has zipped up! Continue with your regularly scheduled story*

---

"Uh, duh!" She answered with an 'obvious' tone. She then rose an eyebrow at me. "Why do you think were having this picnic right now at the lake? Or why I'm wearing this dress or you're wearing that suit?" She asked, confused about how I had forgotten about all of this.

"Suit?" I asked with a clueless look. Looking at myself, I noticed that I was indeed wearing a simple black suit. Barely noticeable because of my coat, but still there. I also saw that we were now both lying on top of a picnic blanket. A basket with apple themed food in it. And I swear that none of this was here until now! I 'woke up' on the grass without this suit, and Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere!

"Yeah! Don't you remember Rarity going on and on about how we had to wear this 'formal attire'?" She asked, making fun of Rarity's accent with that last part.

"Um..." I said, not sure what to say. It all made sense, but...It was all just so weird to me! I still didn't want to just play into whatever Princess Luna was trying to pull, so I went along with it to throw her off. "Oh yeah, I do remember. Sorry, guess I'm a little out of it." I told 'Rainbow Dash'. Hah! Your move Luna! What are you gonna do now?!

"Oh, that's a relief." She started, scooting over next to me. Putting her head on my shoulder. Okay, what's going on now?! "You were starting to freak me out. Glad you came to your senses Blitzy." She said, surprising me WAY too much! If Luna was directing this embarrassing play, than how did she come up with this so fast?!

"B-Blitzy?!" I asked, wondering just why Luna came up with that name. How was she even coming up with any of this?! She barely knew any current culture, how was she making up all of this so fast?!

"Yeah. What, I can't call you that now that we're dating?" She asked, now looking at me. All of this getting harder and harder to try to just shake away. It was so awkward, and it wouldn't end!

I had to get out of here. Even though this was a dream and no pony but Luna could be watching, I just had to get out of here and away from Rainbow Dash before this got even worse! "Oh wow, would you look at the moon?! Looks like I forgot that I have to... do something right now!" I said, moving away from Rainbow Dash, getting up. "I'm sorry Rainbow, but I gotta go uh... Feed RJ! Yep, that's what I gotta do! Feed him! Sorry RD, but I gotta go! Bye!" I said, trying to take off sprinting to somewhere that wasn't here!

Sadly, she was too fast and tackled me to the ground before I could get away. Suddenly, everything around us changed back to that clearing in the forest that we landed in. Us now looking exactly like we did after the crash landing. And now, she was right on top of me. Right back where we were before. And it all was the same. The music from my ear playing. The light from before shining overtop Rainbow Dash. Everything. Except this time... This time there was no pony here to come and see if we were okay.

"You...You saved me..." Rainbow Dash told me, looking at me just like she did before.

"Of course..." I said, just acting on pure instinct when I said that. "I couldn't just let you get hurt..." I said, generally freaked out by this. But at the same time, I didn't freak out at all. I acted just like I did at that crash.

"Well...Thank you...For saving my life..." She said, skipping some of what happened before. But it didn't matter. All I kept thinking of was what was going to come next.

"Don't mention it...Glad to help..." I told her, remembering those last few words before it came. The one thing that I was dreading for this whole part. Only... At the same time I was also...Waiting for this. Hoping that it would finally come to this before something else interrupted me.

I don't know how Princess Luna found out about what happened today, but I honestly didn't care. Everything that had happened before this moment; the cider, the race, Twilight finding out about what I thought of Rainbow Dash, it all became a distant memory as Rainbow Dash started leaning in closer for the second time today.

And just as she and I were about to come together, she looked into my eyes one last time...

Before getting shot in the back by a magical blast that came from out of nowhere. Making her burst into light. Followed by evaporating into smoke since she was just part of this whole made up dream. And seeing her get blasted right before my very eyes made me realize just how much this wasn't real. That it was all fake. Honestly, it all reminded me of the whole love poison problem from back then. Back when I just came to Ponyville and wasn't even sure if I wanted to stay here or not.

Still, Rainbow getting turned into smoke made me angry because of just what was about to happen. So sitting up, I glared towards the direction of just where the blast came from. "Hey what gives?! Don't you see that I was just about to-" I quickly slapped my hoof over my mouth. Regretting saying even one word of that. "P-Princess Luna?!" I asked in shock, surprised to see her walking over.

She didn't exactly look furious, but she looked ticked off to say the least. As I saw her approaching me, I quickly scrambled to my hooves. Trying to act like that never happened. "W-what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to act as natural as possible.

Have you ever tried sneaking into your house after some late night party, or at least imagined doing that? And one of your parents or siblings caught you trying to sneak into the house and gave you that disapproving frown? Yeah, that's pretty much the exact same look Princess Luna was giving me right about now.

"Zeke Electric Blitz," She started, saying my entire name. Both human and pony name to try to enforce even more authority. And it worked as I looked down in sadness. "How dare you dishonorably throw me out of your dream." She told me, angry that I had-thrown her out?

I looked up to see if this was some kind of trick or something, but seeing her angry face told me that she wasn't messing around. "Uh...What are you talking about?" I dared to ask. Now confused. "Is that what you're mad about?" I asked her.

"Correct." She told me, not faltering. "It was I who entrusted you with the ability to control your dreams, and I can just as easily take that away." She told me, being completely stern about that fact. Only making me more confused.

"Hold on a second, what do you mean I kicked you out?" I asked, not getting it. "I thought that you were here the whole time controlling my dreams." I told her, being completely honest. I never kicked her out. And I definitely didn't try to.

"You didn't?" She asked, unconvinced. "Be warned, I will not accept lies." She warned me. Still not believing me.

"No, I really didn't!" I told her, walking over. "I thought you were playing some trick on me with the entire Rainbow Dash thing!" I said, defending myself as I looked back at the tree me and RD were just under.

"Blitz, I may play some harmless pranks now and then within thy dreams, but I would never tamper with any personal relationships of yours. I would not even know of such relations unless you are to inform me about them." She told me. But seeing that I was confused about that little scenario back there, she thought it was a good idea to ask. "So if you didn't 'kick me out' as you say, than what was that dream right there? Do you happen to have a relationship with her?" She asked me.

"What?! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOO!" I told her, waving my hooves in front of me in defense. "I swear, I do not like Rainbow Dash like that?!" I told her, not wanting her to get the wrong idea. "I don't even know where that dream came from!"

She just looked at me for a few moments, piecing it together before making a sad smile. "Blitz. If your mind had kept me from entering, that means that only you could have formed your own dream. Meaning..." She started, wanting me to finish.

"If you had nothing to do with it then...Then..." I said, putting it all together immediately. I just didn't want to believe it though. I didn't want to believe it, but there was really no other reason. I was in control of my own dreams, Luna was kicked out by my mind doing whatever the heck it wanted. "Wait. But when did I make those dreams?! I didn't exactly want any of that to happen!" I told her. But seeing her unconvinced look, I cleared my throat. "Well uh...Maybe I...Wanted some of it to happen..." I admitted, knowing that she had all the power here.

Seeing her content smile, she continued. "Sometimes a dream leads itself for a purpose. Perhaps your mind is trying to help you make another decision? Similar to that coma you had? What did you call it then? An epiphany?" She asked me.

"That..." I sighed. "That makes perfect sense..." I admitted, having no other answers or ways to get myself out of this. "I don't want to admit it, but it's that obvious isn't it?" I asked, looking at her sadly. Realizing just how low I was on the food chain compared to her.

"I am not sure. Is it?" She asked, looking at me with one of those 'knowing' smiles. To be honest, I hated those whenever they were used against me. I showed me just how much of a moron I was. "Do not be depressed Blitz. The feelings you have for her might not be that farfetched. Who knows? She might be dreaming of you as we speak." She told me with a reassuring smile.

"Wait, she's dreaming of me?" I asked, looking towards her. But after just hearing myself ask that, I face-hoofed. "Oh great, I am almost as love-sick as Spike."

"Well, I would not go that far. As far as I can tell, you don't have dreams of taking Rainbow Dash to a candy house in a candy cane forest." She told me, making me snicker in response. Trying really hard not to burst out laughing.

"Wait, hold on a second there!" I told her, trying to calm down. "You cannot be serious right now. Does Spike seriously dream about that?!" I asked her.

"Oh my, it appears that I have revealed too much." She said with her own amused look. "Oh well, I think it best I take my leave. You're about to wake up soon. Good luck with her Blitz." She said as everything started to go misty. "Please try to contain your dreams though. I don't want to intrude on any more dreams like that." She said, gesturing to that stupid tree.

I could feel my face getting red, so I just nodded, preparing to wake up. Ready to just move on already.

---

"Oh, oh! I think he's finally waking up!"

"Huh...What's going..." I mumbled as I started to open my eyes. Seeing two figures right in front of me. And clearing my eyes to see better, I saw just who they were.

"Oh, hey Pinkie Pie." I said, seeing her in front of my face. And turning towards the right I saw- "Al Cow Howl?!"

"Sup bra?!" He asked, sounding like a total 'dude'. You know, with that laid back party guy voice. He fit my description I gave Pinkie to a T! A brown cow with colorful spots, party window shades over his eyes, a really cool black fedora with a pin wheel on top of it, the cowbell, everything! Not to mention, he had some saddlebags and was hooked up to a big cart of stuff. This telling me that he was moving. And it was really freaky how I had been able to get nearly everything about him right! It was even freakier how Pinkie managed to find this dude!

"Woah, you know who I am too?!" He asked, really surprised about that. "You're the second pony that knew who I was beside Pinkie here! But hold on, why did you say that I hate fun stuff?! I love fun stuff dude! Especially parties! I throw parties all the time! Well, I did anyway! Last party I threw, I had totally trashed my pad! And my roomy got really mad and kicked me out! Talk about a stick in the mud, know what I'm sayin'?!" He asked.

"I found him in the next town over, looking for a new home!" Pinkie told me with a smile. "So I told him I was best friends with The Best Builder in Equestria and that you could build him his own party pad to hang out in! So I brought him here and went around looking for you! So we found you, and here we are!" She told me, explaining the whole summarized story to me.

"Thanks again for building me a new home bro! Means a lot to me!" Al Cow Howl thanked before offering me a bro-hoof. And seeing that it was in a way my fault that he got dragged here, I guess it was only right that I help build him a new house. And looking at the sun and seeing that Celestia was about to lower it, I agreed.

"Yeah, no problem." I said, accepting the bro-hoof. "Just uh...Go to the Mayor's to tell her you're moving in, and I'll meet you in the plaza with enough tools to build your uh... 'New Pad'." I said, using his term for it.

"Wicked! Meet ya there bro!" He said, walking away to go meet the mayor. Pinkie Pie right behind him as they went on and on about parties and their own stories.

"'Best Builder in Equestria' huh?" I asked out-loud, trying out the title for myself. "You know... I might just get used to that." I said to myself, kind of appreciating the title to be honest.

But still, now I had a job to do and had to hurry if I would have enough time. That meant going to my house and getting my tool belt, and getting some wood to build his house with.

So I turned and started running for my house as I could. Not wanting to fly since there was that much space with all these trees around. It was just a quick sprint to my house anyway, so I would be fin-"WOAH!"

Suddenly, I tripped over something and fell right to the ground. "Ow! What did I just trip over?...Oh, hey Spike." I said, seeing that I had run over Spike.

"There you are Blitz." Twilight called from ahead of us. She then used her magic to levitate me and Spike off the ground and on our hooves. Or in Spike's case, feet. "Look. I know that you're probably still tired and all, but I think that you've had plenty of time to get straightened out. So I think it's about time you tell us that-"

"I have a crush on Rainbow Dash." I finished, coming clean here. There was no way that I could hide it from them at this point Besides, if I tried then they'd just keep on going.

"Blitz, I'm afraid that lying isn't going to cut it." She said, already having that reaction prepared. She thought that I was going to deny it at first no matter what I said. "And we're not afraid to sit here with you all night until you finally admit to yourself that you...Wait, what did you say?" She asked, what I said finally catching on to her.

"I admit it. I have a crush on Rainbow Dash. Now, can I go now? I'm in a bit of a hurry here." I told them, trying to hurry along so I wouldn't be late. I was kind of on a deadline and this was getting repetitive.

"Wait, just like that? You-You're just going to admit that you have a crush on her?" Twilight asked, making sure she understood me right. "Are you sure? Because I even prepared this fully bulleted list of reasons about how you do have feelings for her."

"Won't need it. I mean, isn't it obvious by this point Twilight? Seriously, is it taking this long for you to get a grasp on the whole thing?" I asked, deciding to mess with her. "Wow, you are really slow you know that? I thought with all of those romance novels you had in your library you would be a little faster on stuff like this."

"Uh-well yeah but...I mean...Why are you just..." She started, not even sure how to register this random confession. Jeez, and people call me the robot! Can she not compute or something?

"Are you lying?" Spike asked, looking at me. "Because if you are than don't think we'll believe you."

"What, that's not enough for you guys? I already admit it, what more do you want? Poetry? A quote from Albert Einstall maybe?" I asked them, kind of annoyed. Here I was, admitting that I liked Rainbow Dash, and they wouldn't take it?! Seriously?!

"That won't be necessary." Twilight said, sliding Spike away from me. And with the look on her face, I think she knew the exact quote I was talking about. "But just like that? What made you change your mind anyway?"

"Let's just say that I dream a little too well." I told her. And to keep her from questioning that, I turned to Spike. "Oh and dude? Stop having candy dreams about Rarity. I mean really? I'm sorry, but that's just sad." I told him with a shake of my head.

"Y-you know about that?!" He asked, now scared that I knew his secret.

"Yep." I answered simply. "Now I gotta hurry and build a new home for a partying, multi-colored, dude cow... Dear Celestia, I cannot believe I just said that." I said to myself, wondering just how that became my life. "So how's about we wrap this up? We all Pinkie Promise to keep this whole thing a secret? Spike liking Rarity, me liking Rainbow Dash, and the fact that I'm helping Spike when over Rarity. Every pony agree?" I asked, needing to go right now. I didn't want to waste any time when there was actually something for me to do now.

"Agreed." Twilight and Spike said in unison.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." We all said in unison. Me not having to worry about poking my eye out since I used my real hoof over my glass eye. Of course for Spike-

"OWOWOWOW!" He yelled out in pain, holding his eye carefully since he had poked it with his claw. That being because he had never done it as often as the rest of us. He tried to shake it off, but just kept his eye closed as he looked towards me. "So what am I going to learn about first?!"

"And no more humiliation." Twilight told me, aware of my tricks from before.

"Hm..." I started, trying to think of something. Even though I had to be-wait, there's something. "Okay Spike, you gotta learn to be tough. So hop on, we need to build a home for a new cow resident." I told him, explaining it to him.

"Alright, let's do this!" He said jumping on top of me to ride. And to be honest, he weighed a little more than my metal leg. Which weighed a lot within itself. Maybe Twilight isn't as weak as I thought if she carries around Spike like this on a regular basis.

"You two go. I have some studying I need to do." She said, excusing herself from this whole 'dude mission'. Probably because she felt so out-of-place. So, Spike said his goodbyes as we started running towards my house. Not being a problem to lug Spike around since I was used to carrying support beams and bags of cement most days.

"Thanks again for helping me Blitz. Twilight doesn't usually want to help me with Rarity." He thanked, relaxing on my tail. Sheesh, what am I a luxury cruise? Riding me is one thing, acting like it's a cart ride? Not really something I appreciated. I swear, if he asks to listen to some music...

"Yeah, don't mention it dude. Just remember, everything from this point on is important. So don't think it'll be easy." I told him, giving a fair warning. I might not know all that much about helping him win over Rarity, but I at least knew the basic stuff. Which he didn't know. He was a drooling, no self-controlled, boasting, weird little dragon. That much right there I could probably help solve.

"Don't worry, I won't." He assured me, not even sitting up to say so. "Hey Blitz?" He asked, my house coming in view so I could get my tools.

"Yeah..." I answered, stopping in front of my house so he could get off.

"Do you ever have dreams about Rainbow Dash like I do with Rarity?!" He asked jumping off and landing in front of me.

"Uh-um-I don't know what-" I stammered, not really sure how to answer his question.

"You do?! What kind?! Is it candy related?! What about gem related?! Maybe damsel in distress dream?!" As he kept shooting out different scenarios, I groaned in annoyance. Him not even noticing as he was in his own little world. If this is what I had to fix, I think I might be doomed. Some pony help me...
