My Time in Equestria
Chapter 29: 29. Good Feelings
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor's Notes:
Hey guys sorry for the wait, but I have had absolutely no time to work on this. I also apologize for the crappy quality. I know it's not the best, but I really wanted to get this chapter out. I hope I'll have more time in the future but meh, who knows. Anyways, hope you all enjoy!
I flew through town at a fast pace, though not as fast as I could manage. The wind rushing through my mane and across the span of my wings sent such a calming sensation through my body that I actually slowed up a bit just to take the time to enjoy it. After all this time, flying still had the same glorious effect on me that it had when I first learned. Alas, the thoughts at the back of my mind got the best of me, and I sped up once again toward the house where Rainbow Dash was no doubt waiting for me.
I sped along, a smile slowly growing across my face as I thought about what was waiting for me at the house. The more I lost myself in thought, the more I quickened my pace.
So, it's the end of the day. Dash is at home, waiting for me. Me. It's still hard to comprehend. I really can't wait to see the look on her face when I get her something nice with-
I suddenly stopped in midair, my heart plummeting into my stomach like a cold stone. I gave all the money I had to Spark. I can't buy anything for Dash if I have no money.
I put my face in my hooves. How could I completely space that? I'm awful.
I suddenly perked up, trying to look on the bright side of things.
Well, she doesn't know I'm getting her anything in the first place. I guess I'll just have to wait until I have the money again.
I began to fly again, though not nearly as fast as before.
And it's not like I wasted all that money. Blaze and Spark really needed it for a house. It was for a good cause. I started to fly faster now with a happier attitude about the situation.
Yeah, I did a good thing. And what's that one saying? Do good and good will be done unto you? Hell, maybe I'll get something really good for me out of this.
I suddenly remembered the whole reason I was rushing home in the first place, and I instantly went back to the same rushed pace.
Oh, yeah. I am getting something really good out of this.
"Dash! I'm back!" I proclaimed as I burst through the door, a smile adorning my face. The smile quickly faded when I realized that the entire house was completely silent, aside from the monotonous ticking of the clock on the wall. I looked around, a little disappointed. Dash was nowhere to be found. I sighed.
"She must not be back yet." I said to myself. I looked at the clock. It was only seven o'clock. "Guess I jumped the gun on that one."
I idly kicked my front hoof against the floor and looked around.
Well, what should I do until she gets back?
I looked around once more, looking for any inspiration at all for something to entertain me. One thing about me is that I get bored very easily, and waiting for long periods of time just doesn't cut it. I walked down the hall and into Dash's room--or was it my room too? I should probably ask her these things. I walked into the bedroom, and immediately, my eyes caught sight of the messy bed sheets that were still strewn about the bed from two nights before when we slept in the bed and not on the ground.
Guess I could fix the bed sheets. Make the place look a little more tidy. I walked over to the mess and looked it over. Screw this, I won't be able to do this with hooves.
Since I gave up on that idea, I decided to walk over to the window that overlooked the wonderful little town of Ponyville. I looked out into the bright, golden hue that cascaded across the sky of the beautiful Equestrian summer evening, creating one of the most pristine sights I had ever had the pleasure to witness.
"Meh." I said in response of the sight, and I walked out of the bedroom and down the hall toward the bathroom.
As I opened the door into the bathroom, I looked into the mirror to admire my wrapped up snout again. It didn't hurt very bad anymore, it had dulled down over the past few days to a slight throb that was more annoying than painful.
I wonder if I can take this stupid bandage off tomorrow. It hasn't been a couple weeks like the doctor said it should, but it feels healed. I'll try it in the morning and see how it goes.
I continued to turn my head around in the mirror to study it from all angles. My snout seemed to be sort of crooked--not by much, but just enough for me to notice. I frowned at the new found feature.
Man, I hope this doesn't look bad when it's healed.
I stopped looking at my snout and looked up to my face. Since arriving in Equestria, I hadn't really gotten to see myself very much, but now I had ample time to do so. My bright red eyes seemed a tad out of place on my snow-white face. My mane was also very messy and almost completely out of shape from when I first saw it. I guess not combing or brushing it for that long will do that. I looked back at my face and gave a slight smirk to myself. Besides my snout and my hair, I actually looked pretty decent as a pony, I suppose. Apparently, it was good enough for Dash, so it was good enough for me.
I looked down at the bathroom counter and saw a mane brush sitting paired with a toothbrush and a blow dryer.
How do ponies use a blow dryer? I asked myself, though obviously not expecting an answer.
I looked to the mane brush and picked it up. Random strands of rainbow colored hair barely clung onto the needles of the brush, giving it a colorful radiance. I looked to my messy mane in the mirror and back to the brush.
Well, I wanna look good when Dash gets home... Maybe she won't notice if I use her brush.
I took the brush in my hooves and gently pulled it back through my mane, slicking my mane back into a James Bond-type hairstyle.
"Nice." I said. "But not me."
I brought the brush across a different way. This time, my hair puffed up into a giant crimson and black afro.
My face immediately dropped to a look of disapproval. "No." I said in disdain, and brought the brush back through my mane again.
This time, my mane molded back into its natural mohawk shape.
"There we go." I smiled at my reflection. "All ready to go."
...
...
I should get a mustache.
I was suddenly surprised by the slamming of a door in the other room.
She's here!
I quickly dropped the brush from excitement and rushed out of the bathroom, not even bothering to shut the door.
I happily trotted down the hall and into the living room with the brightest smile on my face. I saw Dash at the end of the hall standing at the door, looking a little flustered.
"Hey, Dash!" I greeted happily as I walked in. She suddenly looked to me and put on a slight smile.
"Hey, Flash." She replied, blowing her rainbow bangs out of her face with a huff. She looked stressed out, and her mane looked unkempt and strands of it were sticking out everywhere.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, moving closer to look her in the eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said, looking back to her hurt wing and moving it a little. "But this stupid thing was hurting all day and it kept-" She attempted to push the ruffled feathers down to no avail and a shot of pain. "-getting in the way." She sighed. "How'd your day go?"
"Pretty good actually." I said. "Twilight and I helped Blaze and Spark find a house to move into."
"Sounds fun." Rainbow Dash said unenthusiastically, walking over into the kitchen.
I frowned at her behavior. "Are you sure you're all right?" I asked again.
"Yes!" She suddenly snapped back at me, sending me into a small state of shock. She must have seen my startled expression because she sighed. "I'm sorry. The pain is just really irritating. It's been really sore all day." She looked once again to her disabled wing.
"How'd you fly up here?" I asked.
"Very painfully." She said.
Aw, come on! Now you're making me feel bad!
I walked over to her gave her a small peck on the nose. "Well, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me." Her sparkling eyes suddenly brightened.
"Okay, Flash." She smirked with a small blush. She continued into the kitchen and opened up one of the cabinets. "Just let me get something to eat first and I'll have you do something for me. Meet me in the bedroom."
Before she could even wait for a response, I was already bolting down the hall.
I charged through the doorway of the bedroom, not even checking if the door was closed. Luckily, it wasn't, and I dashed right into the bed, sitting down and thinking of my approach for when Dash got here.
Should I lay a certain way? Or should I just wait? Maybe she likes a sexy pose. Or maybe she won't care. But there's always the possibility that she does. What should I say when she gets in here? 'Hey, cutie?' No, that's too corny. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. But I really should. But what? Maybe I should comment on her mane? God, I'm bad at this stuff.
At that moment, I was overjoyed to see the rainbow colored mare enter the room and turn to me with a smile.
"Uh, hey, uh, cutie." I said awkwardly, immediately regretting it.
Smooth, dude.
She smiled at me. "Hey, hot stuff." She walked over to me and I scooted over to make a spot for her on the bed.
I cleared my throat as I looked into her eyes. "So, Dash. What was it you wanted me to do for you?" I asked in a hopeful tone.
"Well," She started, staring at me intently and scooting ever so closer every second, "I was thinking you could..." Her eyes fell half open, and her lips were inches from my own. I braced myself for the sweet kiss, when suddenly, she turned herself around, flipped her mane, and fell back into me all in one swift motion. "...lay here with me and relax for a bit." She looked up to me with large magenta eyes, her head resting on my chest.
"Oh, alright." I said. I wasn't really expecting that. I fell back onto the pillows of the bed, and Dash moved with me, her body laying peacefully on mine. She let out a large sigh and snuggled closer into me, sending a wave of liveliness through my body. There was something about Dash that always made me feel so great. Though, that had always been the case, even before I got to Equestria. I wrapped my arms around her, making her smile in pure happiness.
"I'm so glad you're here. It's been a really long day." She said.
"I'm sure it has." I said. "Your wing must feel awful."
"It really does." Dash sat up and sat on my stomach with her back facing me, looking back to her wing with a pained expression. "Do you mind doing something else for me, Flash?" She asked.
"Sure." I said. "What do you need?"
"Could you...uh..." She started.
"What? Just tell me." I said with a reassuring smile.
"Could you...massage my wing?" She asked with an irresistibly timid face, as if she were afraid to ask.
"Uh, sure, Dash." I said. She smiled at me and scooted down off of me so I could sit up. I sat up on the fluffy cloud bed, with Rainbow Dash in front of me expecting a wing massage. Whatever I did to get in this position, I did it right!
"Just saying, I don't really know how to do massages." I said. She looked back to me.
"Don't worry, I don't want something too extravagant, just enough to make my wing stop hurting."
"Well, alright then." I said, and Dash turned her gaze toward the giant window to look out over Ponyville to watch the sunset in the distance.
Not really sure of where to start, I gingerly took her injured wing in my hooves, being careful not to hurt her. I started stroking up and down the length of it, sending visible shivers down the mare's spine.
"That feels amazing." She purred. "Keep it up."
Not wanting to disappoint Dash, I continued with the method, stroking a little slower and longer this time, straightening the ruffled feathers as I went along.
"It's a really beautiful sunset this evening." Dash commented, still arching her back from the massage.
"It sure is." I replied. "It's a good thing I get to watch it with you." I started to move to the base of her wing and put pressure on her back, causing her to moan loudly.
"You are awesome at this. I don't know what you were talking about when you said you didn't know how to do this." She arched her back even more. Her wings started to extend gradually until they extended to their full span.
"Uh, Dash?" I asked as she continued to moan and purr at my every stroke. "Are you okay up there?"
"Better than I've been all day!" She sounded back to me.
"Well, your wings are kind of going insane back here." I said. I had stopped the massage, but her wings were still at full length.
She looked back at her wings with a small blush. "Sorry. You're just...really good with your hooves I guess." She said with a nervous laugh.
I smiled back to her. "Well, you know, I try."
She smiled and turned around to face me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Thanks, by the way. You really made me feel better."
I leaned in and kissed her back, the gesture of love lasting for at least a good thirty seconds, or somewhere close to that. Time loses all meaning when you're locked in a passionate kiss with someone--or in this case, somepony--you really care for, and I was so glad I could finally experience that feeling.
Dash pulled back and looked me in the eyes. "So...since you did that for me, I guess I owe you something, too." She said with an adorable smirk.
My heart started beating rapidly. I had been waiting for this moment all day, but it didn't make the experience any less nerve-racking. At least last night Rainbow Dash was the one that did everything. It looked like I was going to have to make the first move this time.
"Well, uh, why, whatever could I want from you?" I asked her, though obviously knowing the answer to my own question.
"Oh, I don't know..." She moved closer and put her arms around my neck, looking even deeper into my eyes. "It's just you, alone with a beautiful young mare that finds you extremely attractive, and a bed made out of clouds. You tell me."
I could feel my eyes widen at the irresistible offer.
"Well, in that case," I pushed Dash back onto the bed, and I stood over her, in complete control. "There is one thing that I would like. That is, if you don't mind it."
Dash giggled like a giddy school girl "Go for it, Flashy Boy."
"Gladly." I smiled, and leaned in for one final kiss of the evening.
