My Time in Equestria
Chapter 10: 10. A Day With Spark and a Night With Rainbow Dash
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI walked down the streets of Ponyville, wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my day.
Well I could go hang out with Rainbow Dash. I thought to myself. It didn't seem like she had anything going on today. Maybe she could teach me more flying tricks or something. That was kind of weird earlier when I almost crashed into her. We just kind of stood there. I wonder if- My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I walked straight into a street post.
I rubbed my head and quickly looked around to see if anyone saw my fail. Luckily, there was no pony to be found.
Except Spark.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Spark wailed with laughter. "What the hell were you thinking about, dude? I hope it was worth getting owned by a fucking street post!" He lost it with laughter once again.
"Shut up." I said, still rubbing my head.
"I'm just joking man." He said between laughs. He walked over to me. I noticed that he didn't have his cutie mark either. "So what brings you here? Blaze bore you to death like he usually does to me?"
"Well not exactly. I was just going to find something to do for the rest of the day." I said.
"Well then, looks like we're in the same situation, my winged friend!" Spark said.
"What about Pinkie Pie?" I asked.
"She wasn't there." He said, sounding a little let down. "So I figured, 'Hey, why not go find that new fag I just met' and look! Here you are getting abused by street signs!"
We started walking. "Okay, then. What were you planning to do exactly?" I asked.
"Do the tests on you that I tried to do to that son of a bitch rabbit." Spark said with a slightly creepy smile.
"Uh..."
"I'm just kidding man. You really can't take jokes can you? I'll take a note of that for later fun. Nah, I just figured I can hang out with the only other human here who isn't a little pushover like Blaze."
"Should we be talking about us being human out in public?" I said a little quietly.
"Why the fuck not? It's not like they're gonna do anything." Spark stopped walking and lifted his head. "HEY EVERYONE! WE'RE HUMAN!" He yelled. Some of the ponies gave him a strange look but otherwise, no reaction. "See? No one gives a fuck." He said, and we continued to walk.
"You know, you just yelled that to the heavens and on top of all that, you said 'everyone' instead of 'everypony' I hope that-"
"Oh don't start that 'everypony' shit. Just don't." Spark said.
"They'll all think you're weird if you don't." I said.
"I don't give a fuck. It's not like I want friends here. I've lived my entire life without them, I can live in pony land without them."
"You never had any friends?" I asked.
"Nah. People always said I was obnoxious and annoying. I never even had any other obnoxious annoying friends to hang around with. So I stayed the fuck away from those stuck up pricks and they stayed away from me. Who needs them though. I'm fine by myself." His head slowly went down and his face turned into a sad expression as he said the last sentence. We walked in silence for a few moments until he spoke up and wiped the sadness from his face.
"What about you? I'm sure someone like you is just bursting with people who like you."
"Yeah, not so much." I said.
"Kinda figured that." Spark said.
We walked in silence for a little longer than last time.
"But you know what?" I said, causing us to stop walking and Spark to perk up his head. "We're living a new life now. We're in a place where everyone accepts you and it doesn't matter how you act or what you do, there will always be friends for you. This is Equestria for God's sake. It's no time to think about our human lives. This is time to think about our better lives."
Spark smirked. "You know what? You're right. I'm living in the universe of the show that saved my goddamn life. I shouldn't be sulking about my shitty life. I'm a motherfuckin' pony! I'm going to live like I never did when I was human. I'm gonna enjoy every minute of this."
I smiled. "That's the spirit!"
"But I'm still not saying 'everypony'. That's where I draw the fucking line." Spark said.
"Fine by me." I said.
"You know, I already like you much better than Blaze. That's not much, but it's something." We continued to walk through Ponyville.
"Where are we even going?" I asked. By this time, we were getting near the end of town, and I could see Rainbow Dash's house in the distance.
"I have no idea." He looked over to Dash's cloud house. "So how is it? Being able to fly and sleep on clouds and shit?"
"Um, well, I can't really describe it. It's pretty amazing." I said.
"Yeah? Well good for you. I got stuck with a fucking dildo on my head." Spark said. "Do you know how much I hate unicorns? They're the stupidest fucking race in the entire goddamn show. I mean just look at this fucking thing. It's a motherfucking disgrace. At least now I can perform simple tasks without using hooves! That's just about what I could do as a human! Hoo-fucking-ray." Judging from Spark's language, it sounded like he was back to his normal self.
"Yeah, well at least you don't have to deal with wing boners." I said.
"Oh my God, that's an actual thing?" He asked.
"Yep." It was true, the past few days I've woken up with my wings fully extended and frankly, it was annoying.
"Dude, that's gotta suck especially since you're living with Rainbow Dash. Does she say anything?"
"Well I don't think she's noticed me with one."
"What does it feel like?"
"Like two giant mega boners are sprouting out of your spine."
"Damn dude. That sucks. Double whammy right fuckin' there." We sat and looked out into the open fields near Ponyville for a few moments.
"So is Rainbow Dash your favorite?" Spark asked.
"Yep. Since day one." I said. "What about you? Do you have a favorite?"
"Of course I have a favorite, don't be a dumbass." He said. "I just won't tell."
"Why don't either Blaze or you want to tell me your favorite ponies?" I asked.
"Well Blaze is just a fuckin' pussy and I don't tell because I don't fucking feel like it."
"Fair enough. I guess." I said, not fully satisfied. I looked into the sky and noticed it was starting to become dusk.
"What's wrong? Have a date or something?" Spark asked when he noticed me looking up.
"Um, no. I was just checking the time of day. Wow, today went stupidly fast." I said.
"You got that right. I don't even think I took a shit today."
"...Um..."
"What? Can't two guys talk about takin' a shit? Did that change when we came to Equestria? I fucking hope not. Shit is a serious matter that requires a lot of thought and care to become a good conversation subject."
"Alright, then. How do you even go to the bathroom as a pony?" I asked.
"I don't fucking know dude. It's fucking complicated." After a few minutes of us talking back and forth about various bathroom problems, Spark went on his way back to his house.
"Better get back to Blaze." He said. "No telling what that little shit has done to my stuff. He's always fucking moving it around for no goddamn reason and then I can never find it. But anyways, see you around, shit head." And he left down the road toward his house.
Well that was...nice I guess. Spark isn't as bad once you get to know him. But how him and Blaze can live together, I'll never know. I better get back to Dash's house. I'll have to get plenty of rest for my weather pony training tomorrow.
I extended my wings and took flight, goofing off a bit before I actually got to Rainbow Dash's house. I opened the door to the living room with the lights on, but Rainbow Dash was nowhere to be found. I walked into the kitchen and fixed myself another slice of apple pie. As I ate I realized it was incredibly quiet and dull in the house without anypony to talk to. I looked at the clock to see that it was only eight o'clock. I ate the last bite of my slice of pie and stood in the kitchen, more bored than I had ever been. Of course there was no internet so I was literally lost on what to do for fun until I got tired.
Wait a second, there's that room that Dash said was good to hang around in when I'm bored. I could check that out. I thought, and walked down the hall and opened the door. It was the coolest room ever.
Directly to my right was a hot tub. To my left was some kind of basketball goal modified for ponies. In the middle of the room was a pool table. Past that was a small set of stairs leading up to a slightly elevated part of the room with a bar counter with chairs and coolers with cold drinks behind it. To the left of the bar were an assortment of chairs and couches looking out a window into the sky, and to the right of the bar was a foosball table with a cabinet next to it. And at the bar sitting on a stool and drinking something was Rainbow Dash. I quietly walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. She nearly jumped out of her skin and she turned on the stool to face me.
"Oh, it's you. You scared me." She said.
"Dash, this room is..." I said.
"Awesome?" She suggested.
"Awesome." I confirmed. I looked at her drink. "Is that..?"
"It sure is! Good old apple cider! You want some?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure." I forgot that there probably isn't alcohol in Equestria. I was a little surprised for a minute to see Rainbow Dash drinking at a bar. She poured me a cup of apple cider and I sat down on a stool next to her.
I looked around the room some more. "It is just ridiculous how awesome this is."
"I know right. I always go in here when I'm bored and just lay around and be lazy." She said.
"Were you here all day?" I asked.
"Pretty much. I didn't have anything to do today so I thought 'Why not be lazy in the greatest room known to ponykind?' so I did!" Rainbow Dash said with a cute smile.
"Weren't you bored?" I asked.
"A little, but there was really nothing else to do." She said.
"Well you could have told me. I would've hung out with you." I said.
"Well yeah but you were busy and I didn't want to bother you." Dash said.
"I wouldn't have been bothered. I was looking for something to do myself after a while." I said.
"Oh. Well then do you want to make up for lost time? There's tons of stuff to do here." She said.
I smiled. "Sure,"
"Yeah! I win again!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"No way! Best five out of nine?" I asked.
She smirked. "You're on!"
We were playing foosball and I was getting my flank kicked. I hadn't even made a single goal by the time Rainbow Dash had won. It didn't help that I had no idea how to play with hooves, but I sure tried. After Dash made a few goals I finally made one.
"Ha! Take that!" I exclaimed.
"Lucky shot! It won't happen again!" Dash defended.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"You're on!"
Ironically, it never did happen again, but I wasn't too upset that I lost. Not too many people can say they played foosball with Rainbow Dash.
"Look at that! I'm actually winning!" I said as I sunk another ball. I never knew I was good at pool until I actually tried it.
"Yeah yeah, don't get too confident. I just haven't practiced at this is all." Rainbow Dash said.
"Sure, Dash."
She smiled. "You may be good at this, but I still won foosball."
"So you're bringing that back on, I see how it is."
"I sure am." Rainbow Dash said as she sunk a ball of her own. She looked up and smiled. "Your turn!"
"And she scores!" Rainbow Dash said as she dunked the basketball on the goal. She was beating me once more in the small game of basketball we had going. Of course we used our wings so there was a lot of bumping and stealing before either of us scored. Every time I tried to dunk the ball, Rainbow Dash would always tackle me before I could, causing us to tumble around the room before we finally crash landed somewhere, and we went back to the game.
I was down 6-0 and I had the ball. I tried one last time to make a dunk. I flew around, dodging Rainbow Dash's attempts to steal the ball. I flew up as fast as I could with the ball and I was literally inches away from making the point, but Dash tackled me again. We both flew wildly out of control and I caught the faintest glimpse of the hot tub before I realized I was heading straight into it.
I quickly twisted myself upright and flapped my wings backwards with all my might. I ended up hovering inches above the surface of the water. That was close.
"LOOK OUT!"
I felt Rainbow Dash land on my back and we both fell into the hot tub. We were both underwater. Luckily the water hadn't been heated yet so it was room temperature. I opened my eyes to see Dash's face inches from mine. We both quickly surfaced, still inches away from each other. I was the one to back up this time and I sat against the hot tub wall.
Rainbow Dash giggled. "Sorry about that." She sat against the other hot tub wall. "At least this saves us both a bath."
I laughed. "Yeah I guess so." We sat there awkwardly for a few moments.
"Well, we might as well relax since we're already in here." Dash said, and she turned around to press a button to start the water heater. A few minutes later, the water was at a very soothing temperature. We both sunk down until our hind hooves touched.
"Sorry." We both said, and I scooted over so we could both have leg room. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sensation of the hot water.
"This has been nice." I said. "We should do this again sometime. It was fun."
"Yeah. Maybe next time you'll beat me. Or maybe not." She said. I peeked open an eye to see her neck deep in the water with her eyes closed as well, with a smile on her face. Her wet mane glistened in the light and it looked beautiful. I closed my eye again and we sat in silence, enjoying the moment.
"Hey Flash?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah?" I said opening my eyes to see Dash still neck deep in water but with her eyes open as well.
"Thanks for spending this time with me. It really means a lot." Dash said.
"You don't have to thank me." I said. "I enjoy spending time with you."
"Really?"
"Well yeah. We have a lot of fun together and you're really the only pony I can always count on."
She looked down and gave a small blush. "No pony's ever said that before."
"Well they should because it's true."
"Well. I had a lot of fun too." Rainbow Dash said. "Really the only pony I could play games with like that was Applejack, and she can't fly."
I couldn't help but smile at that.
Rainbow Dash smiled too and scooted closer to me toward the middle of the tub.
"So you have your weather pony training tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yeah. I hope I qualify. It's the only job I have going for me." I said.
"I'm sure you'll do fine. It's just a simple obstacle course to make sure you can quickly control the clouds."
I leaned forward. "I sure hope so."
Rainbow Dash scooted a little closer. "So are you doing anything after your training tomorrow?" She asked.
"Not that I know of." I said.
"Well then, would you want to maybe hang out together then?" She asked.
I smiled. "I'd love to."
Rainbow Dash scooted even closer until our noses were touching. "Great." She said, and then kissed my cheek. "See you then." She climbed out of the tub and used her wings to shake all of the water off in an unbelievably short time, and she left the room.
I was left there, speechless, my face burning red hot, and my mouth wide open. I also noticed that my wings were completely extended.
Did...did that just happen?
Next Chapter: 11. I Get a Job Estimated time remaining: 5 Hours, 51 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Well I felt like writing so here's a kind of long chapter that took me roughly 4 hours to do because I get side tracked very easily. I also did the last half of it at around 1 a.m. so sorry if there's a drop in quality or anything like that. But on a different note, I appreciate you guys who are actually still reading this. It's my first story on here and I have a lot more different and fun adventures planned, so I hope I can get to some of them before my school year starts because I'll probably update a chapter once every other week or maybe every week, who knows. But I'm glad some people actually enjoy my writing and I can't wait to get to the really fun parts.
