Another Chance at Life
Chapter 85: 85. Winter Wrap Up
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: I am going to skip ahead a few days to the day of Winter Wrap Up for a chapter 85 special. I wanted to get it here quickly so I can make the wedding come sooner. I hope you will find this chapter fun; it will be interesting to say the least.
I woke up in the morning and felt good. I got up out of bed and RD wasn’t in the room with me so I figured she went downstairs and was getting breakfast ready. I walked over to the table near the window, something I almost never do mind you because of the dreaded thing that sits on it, and looked at the horrible thing. It was a calendar.
I looked at today’s date and sure enough, Dash made a note of what was happening today, and I could read it clearly even though she has horrible mouth writing. Oh sweet Jesus no, not today! I don’t want to have to sing and do all of that crap; well the work is ok, but not the singing! “Noooooooooooo!” I yelled as I looked at the little square, today was Winter Wrap Up.
I let my head hit the table in irritation. “This is going to be one weird day for my ol noggin today!” I said with extreme levels of sarcasm, levels that would break the time/space continuum back on Earth. Shut up, I’m funny, you know you laughed! I stood up again and walked over to the door and I left the bedroom.
I walked down the stairs and I stopped in the doorway to the kitchen. RD wasn’t here either and neither was Stratus, so I was all alone. Forever alone! Why do I have to be all alone in my house on Winter Wrap Up? Am I late for it or something? Then it all clicked in from watching the episode, the Twilight being too early, everything. Ffffffff- gotta move sort of fast! I walked out of the house without eating and started to look around, the snow was already starting to melt in some areas and I looked up and saw Pegasi flying all over the place bucking clouds in the air. I hope I don’t make a fool of myself, maybe if I find RD it will be better.
I took off into the air and started to fly around and soon I found her bucking a group of clouds by herself off over the town square. I flew over to her and tapped her on the shoulder with my fore hoof as I floated behind her. She jumped and turned around. She looked irritated at first, but then it softened into a playful stare as she looked at me. Mmmk, so if I poke Rainbow when she’s working, I might have a bad time….got it. “Hey, how much did I miss?” I asked as she smiled at me.
“Well, I figured that you didn’t want to participate in cleaning up winter, but seeing as you do, you are going to help me clear out the clouds over the Everfree forest. I just finished the town when you shown up and poked me, so we can go now” Rainbow Dash said as she started to fly off in the direction of the forest.
“Ok, are we going to be the only ones clearing over the forest?” I asked as I flew next to her. Please say yes, I don’t want other pegasi to show up and make me feel awkward, I hate being out of the loop, and I sure am with this type of thing!
“Yep, we are going to be clearing out the whole cloud space by ourselves, the other pegasi have other areas to clear still, and we will be done with wrapping up winter after we’re done. I hate doing this to be honest, I would rather just take a nap, but I have to, everypony does” she said with a smile at the end that was directed towards me.
“What, I’m gonna help! I’m helpful when I’m not being an idiot and funny, just you wait!” I said as I flew next to her. Just for her doing that, I’m gonna throw her through a cloud!
“I know you will, because if you don’t you are gonna miss out on something I got for fun before we get serious for a while again. And it’s a surprise, so I’m not going to tell you what it is until we’re done with wrapping up winter” RD said before she flew faster and let out a victorious laugh.
“Aww, that’s not fair!” I said in reply with a grin. Now I need to do work if I want to know about this mystery, fine I’ll do it, FOR NARNIA!!!!
We flew for a few minutes longer and we were soon over the Everfree. We immediately went to work clearing the clouds. I had a little trouble bucking them at first, but after a few tries I got used to the feel of it. I also accidentally bucked one too hard and it started to snow, so I bucked it again softer and it dissipated. This is grunt work, and I hate being the grunt, I want to be one of those ponies who sit behind a desk with nothing to do but play solitaire on the computer, yes I don’t know what I’m thinking shut up a your face!
Rainbow Dash was busy over a little ways away from me so I got a little bored and I needed my fix of stupid. I flew up into the air as I as I could go and I stopped flapping my wings and flatted them to my sides. I did a swan dive and then I pointed myself in the direction of the groups of clouds she was working on, and I sped up a lot. I was starting to get a small cone over my fore hooves and I kept myself straight, I was only about a hundred feet away now. I’ll get a reaction out of her this time, I’m sure of it!
“Hey RD, don’t look up, or you’ll miss it!” I said as I got even closer.
“What are you blabbing about?” she said as she turned to look up at me, but right before she did I flew right past her and through the clouds. I even managed to get out a ‘hi’ as I passed by. The clouds dissipated and I flapped my wings a few times to slow myself down. I stopped right before the tree tops and I flew right back up to her. She had a face only a mother could love.
“That was pretty impressive, I see you’ve gotten faster, but you’re still not fast enough!” she said with a grin before she grabbed me and threw me across the air into a batch of clouds. They dissipated around me and I floated there looking at her with a smile. I never knew she was that strong, she is like, scary strong for a mare, I don’t think anypony else could throw me across airspace like a football like she did! I feel scared now better keep her angry before she throws me into a volcano or something.
We got back to working serious and we were going at a really steady rate, I was pretty good with cloud clearing, and I figured that in about a few minutes we would be done with clearing the clouds, and then we would be done with this infernal holiday…I think. I was right about the few minutes thing and soon there was only one batch of clouds left and RD was floating next to it.
I flew over to it and tackled her onto the cloud lightly and was lying on top of her. I looked down at her and she looked up at me with shocked eyes at first, but then they did the playful glint again. “You need to stop with the playful stare, it throws me off really bad” I said to her.
She flipped me over and I was lying on the cloud and she sat down on my chest. “Well, you need to stop opening yourself up for it. We only have this batch left and then we’re done, then we have the rest of the day to relax” She said as she sat on me. I’m ok with this.
“Umm, should I come back another time….if that’s ok I mean” I heard in a soft shy voice that was all too recognizable.
Abort, abort the shenanigans, got to act civilized, wait, I got an idea! Brilliant! “Fluttershy, before you get any ideas…..I was giving her the sex!” I said before I shot up and threw RD off me and bucked the cloud.
“Fluttershy and RD’s faces both turned red and RD turned to Fluttershy “We weren’t he’s just being an idiot. I tackled him into the cloud and he got me back by saying that” she said to the yellow pegasus.
“Hey, that isn’t what happened at all, and I was just joking about that last statement. Sorry if I made you embarrassed” I said to Fluttershy with a soft smile. I feel sort of bad now, I made her blush and I possibly scarred her little innocent brain forever! What have I done!!!
“It’s umm ok I guess, everything is done back in Ponyville and I see the clouds above the Everfree are cleared, so I guess we are umm done” Fluttershy said with a shy smile before she flew off back towards the town.
RD sighed and turned to me and hit me in the shoulder again. “That…even though it was funny, was mean also. You should have done that to somepony other than her. She believed us this time, but I think it won’t be so easy to do to her next time” Rainbow Dash said to me her smile returning.
Let’s go, I want to relax for a while” I said to her before I flew off in the direction of home. She followed me and she got close. Hmm, what is she going to say this time?
“Hey, about that surprise, I guess you were a good cloud clearer so I think you deserve to know about it now. Zecora is pretty good with making potions and junk. This morning I went and talked to her and she made us a little something so we can have fun before we have to be serious for the wedding. It’s called The Eyes of Loki. I guess he was a prankster pony god or something and he always wanted to have fun, so he made a potion that would allow you to do just that. The recipe was lost for thousands of years, but Zecora stumbled upon it when she was young” she said to me with a grin.
*takes in big breath of air* AWWWWW YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH mystery thing that makes you goofy I think! Me Gusta and Muy Bueno! I smiled widely “And?”
“Well, the potion will heighten your senses, and I mean all of them, I think it also allows you to see what you think about, but it’s just a hallucination, and it also makes you feel really good and easy to laugh. I got them so we can have one last time of stupidity before we have to take a break for a little while” She said to me before she sped up a little.
“This is going to be fun” I said before we continued home.
A/N: Can you tell what’s going to happen next? I feel like you do. Well, I will be working on another chapter soon, but I am also going to start on my project. I will keep you posted with everything, well see you all soon!
