Chapter 36: 36. Our Little Secret

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The next morning arrived in what seemed to be no time. I awoke groggily, slowly blinking away my sleepiness. I groaned as I rolled over to see Rainbow Dash sleeping soundly beside me peacefully, her chest rising and falling calmly with each breath.

I smiled and rolled back over to face the opposite direction. For some reason, I was already in a good mood today. Maybe the happiness from my dream carried over into real life? Anyway, I felt well rested and didn't really want to wake Dash up, so I decided to climb out of bed and make my way into the front room. As I walked out into the living room, I stretched wide and looked around for the time. It was already noon. Somehow I had slept half of the day already. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal. It's not like I had any set plans for today or anything. I could spend the day doing absolutely nothing and I'd be perfectly fine with it; it just seemed like one of those kinds of days.

I walked into the kitchen and over to the cabinet to grab a quick snack to pass off as breakfast, and began idly chowing down as I got lost in my own thoughts.

I wonder why today seems...special for some reason. I mean, I usually wake up in a good mood anyway, but today seems even brighter than usual. It had to be that dream, right? I guess the happiness from the dreamed up summer day had a lasting effect. There was also that deal with Luna asking me about humans out of no where. I really hope I did the right thing by telling her...

Oh, who am I kidding? She's a princess, after all. It's not like I gave information vital to my survival to a malicious superpower.

Trolling is Celestia's job anyway.

As I finished up the last of my "breakfast", I heard the soft clip-clop of hooves coming down the hall and into the living room. I turned around to face the familiar sound and sure enough, there was Rainbow Dash walking groggily down the hallway, her mane sticking out in several places and her eyes struggling to blink away the sleepiness.

"Morning, Sunshine." I greeted with a smile.

"Morning." She greeted with a large yawn and a rub of her eyes. She looked at me strangely for a moment or two as if she had no idea who I was, then continued on her way into the kitchen.

"Uh, is something wrong, Dash?" I asked, a little worried.

She looked at me. "What? Oh no, no. Sorry, I just had a...weird dream last night is all." She said a bit nervously.

"Really? You had a weird dream last night?" I asked, becoming a bit intrigued at the situation. "So did I."

"Oh, uh, really?" She asked. "What was it about?"

"Well," I began. "it started out with me walking through town on a summer day and it was really happy. Then, I realized I was in a dream because no pony was walking around. Well, and there was a random sky scraper in the middle of town."

"Wait, a sky scraper?" Rainbow Dash asked with a bit of alarm.

"Um, yeah." I said, a little surprised at her sudden worry. "Why?"

"There was a sky scraper in my dream too." She said. "What happened next?"

"Well, uh, then Princess Luna suddenly appeared." I said, leaving out the part where I spawned a dream Dash.

Rainbow Dash stepped closer to me. "That happened in my dream too." She said, looking to the ground then back at me. "What next?"

"Um, well, she asked me some really weird questions." I said, trying not too give too much information about the subject.

"What kind of questions?" Dash pried. "What were they about?"

"Uh, just about me, I guess. She wanted to get to know me." I said, which wasn't a complete lie. Her sudden interrogation was beginning to worry me.

Dash looked to me. "Are you sure that's all?"

"Yeah, why?" I asked, looking back at her. "Is something wrong?"

"Well..." Rainbow Dash looked around the room as if she were looking to see if anypony else was there to eavesdrop. "Last night when Luna visited my dream, she told me some things. About you."

My heart immediately fell into my stomach, bounced around, then shot up into my throat. A million things were going through my mind at once. Luna asked me about being a human, and then she goes and tells Rainbow Dash about it, all in our dreams?!?! I thought I could trust her! She's a princess for God's sake! Why would she tell Rainbow Dash about my secret?

"Oh, really?" I tried to play it off, but I ended up sounding like I was about to cry.

"Yeah," She said. "She said something about you...not being a pony?"

"What?" I laughed nervously. I didn't want to say too much for fear that I would accidentally give away the truth.

"Yeah, weird right?" Dash said. "She said that you were something called a human. And you used to live a whole different life on your...earth, until one day Celestia teleported you here to be happier, make friends, and live a better life."

...

...

Well, at least she left out that this entire world is actually just a TV show.

That's the only thing I got going for me.

I had absolutely no words. I was left there looking blankly into Dash's adorable, yet concerned eyes as I stood silently, searching my mind for any kind of feasible response. All I could manage was a fit of unbelievably tense laughter.

I began to laugh louder and wilder, beginning to get a few chuckles from Dash as well. I continued laughing until she was giggling just as if I had told her a stupid joke.

"Yeah, that seems kinda stupid." Dash reasoned through her laughter.

"Definitely." I chuckled. "A whole different world? Where did she get that from?"

"Yeah, I thought it was a little silly." Dash said. "Especially when she said that most humans resolve their conflicts by...killing each other." She shuddered. "I can't even imagine that. It's a good thing it's not true." She walked over to the cabinet and got something to eat. I paid no attention to what it was because I was too busy staring off into space.

Holy mother of God that was close. She almost figured me out. I just dodged a nuclear warhead right there.

I looked back at her and she was fixing herself a plate of oats, seemingly oblivious to the fact that I was nearly losing my mind on the inside.

Why the hell would Luna tell her? Why??

I tried to calm myself with a few deep breaths.

It's okay, it's okay. It's over, and she doesn't know. I'm good. I'll just need to ask Luna about it later. That is, if I ever see her again.

Rainbow Dash turned to me, still chowing down. "So, what's on the agenda today?"

"Well, uh, I don't know." I said, trying to shake off the past few minutes. "I didn't have any plans at all, really. I figured I would just kinda do whatever until the end of the day."

"So, you're saying you have nothing to do all day, huh?" Dash asked, finishing up the last of her oats. "So does that mean you have the whole day free?"

I shrugged. "Pretty much. Why?" I asked.

"Oh, no reason." She said, putting her plate away and stepping closer to me. "It's just, we haven't been out together in a while, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to spend the day together." She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around me. "Just the two of us."

I blinked away my past nervousness and looked into her eyes. "Of course. I'd love to, Dash."

She smiled and kissed me. "Well then, how would you like to start this day together?"

"Any way you want." I said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" She asked. "Any way at all?"

I kissed her and smiled. "Any way at all."

Dash looked deep into my eyes and smiled once more, her cuteness giving me chills. "Well, this is going to be a fun morning." She pulled me in for yet another kiss and held it for a good thirty seconds before pulling away. "A very fun morning."

I smiled and let out a small chuckle. Any inkling of doubt in the back of my mind about Rainbow Dash believing Luna was completely lost as I stared into her eyes.

I knew today was going to be great.

Author's Notes:

Welp, it's that time of year again. The time when I fail miserably at making decent chapters on a regular basis. (Not to say that's not all the time) But please bear with me here. I've been incredibly busy lately and it's starting to show on my latest chapters and I apologize. I'm trying to do as much as I can but as you can see that isn't much. I'll be able to get back in the groove but it won't be for a while. I'll still release chapters, just not as often as I might like. Again, I appreciate your patience, and I hope you continue to enjoy.

Next Chapter: 37. Blaze's Lazy Day Estimated time remaining: 18 Minutes
