From the Skies above
Chapter 9
Previous Chapter Next ChapterShe pulls her head away from me and beams a smile. I was lost for words and only made out the sentence in a serious tone.'What was that about?' Her voice lowered and she had said. ' Im sorry Dax its just that i really like you. I knew it the first time i laid eyes on you.'
I told Fluttershy i really liked her too. And that i considered her a close friend. She shuffles her feet and mutters a broken sentence before she cut herself off. 'Did you ever maybe think? Oh never mind its just a silly thought. I ask her to say what was on her mind and that she didnt have to be embarrassed.
She takes a deep breath and almost whispering finishes her sentence. Did you ever think that we could maybe be more than just friends?' I could feel my eyes almost shoot out of my skull with her question. My mind switched gears rapidly thinking of what to say.
Of course i had thought about it before Humans are a strange breed. I mean she was really cute and she thought and looked like a human to some degree. My silence upset her and she was backing away from me. I pull her back to me and hug her holding her tightly against me.
I explained to her that it was perfectly natural to feel that way and we shouldnt be ashamed of our feelings. Her eyes looked up at mine and she said. ' You feel the same way too?'. I nod my head and she gives me another kiss. ' Thank You for understanding Dax.'
I then ask her why she didnt have a boyfriend or coltfriend, whatever they called themselves to keep her company. Her face changes to a look of pain. She starts bawling covering her eyes and dripping her tears on my leg. Inbetween sobs she tells me the story of why she left the city and moved to such a remote location She starts from the beginning . ' I was born with a disorder that wouldnt allow my wings to grow properly. They would remain like that for the rest of my life. My tiny wings couldnt keep up with the other fillies in my class and they picked on me for it even the teachers joined in. A Pegasus that couldnt fly was useless to them . So one day i was walking home from school when a few of the older colts cornered me and offered to give me a free flying lesson. They took me to the edge of the tallest cloud and pushed me off. I remember plummeting to the ground to certain death when i prayed for a miracle. And just before i hit the ground. The most dangerous place imaginable for a Pegasus. A swarm of butterflies stopped me from hitting just inches away from death. I fell in love with the animals and dedicated my life to them. And decided to live with them And the reason i dont have any male friends is because they are hard to find and dont stay with one mare for long before they find another. And besides that Earth and Unicorn ponies dont want anything to do with me.
Her story almost brought me to tears. I thought to myself. How could anyone hate such a kind and loving soul such as hers. They hated her enough to kill her. Its no wonder at all now why she preferred to live alone. ' Im so sorry Fluttershy i didnt know that happened to you.
I get her to slow her crying down to a whimper. I felt so bad for her all she wanted was love. I touch her side and feel her tiny wings. They shoot open startling me and causing me to pull my hands away. She says sweetly ' Sorry they are really sensitive to touch.' I dont think i heard a word she said.
I was lost in just how beautiful she looked in that moment. Her wings and smile made her look angelic almost divine. She puts her face up to mine ' Dax are you okay?' I snap to attention and recover.'Uh yes everything is fine.' I try to reassure her. But in reality my heartbeat skyrocketed the more i stared at her. She jumps off my lap and begins to turn the lights off before bed. She walks back up to me in a now darkened living room and whispers softly in my ear. 'If you want to that is. You can maybe sleep with me.'
My legs hung over the small couch making it impossible to get comfortable. It was a better option than freezing downstairs. I thank her and follow her up the staircase and into her room. I lay down on the super soft mattress and stretch my arms and legs. It was a tiring day of trying to get answers from somepony who might know more about the crash. But i hope i have half of their bravery. If an alien came up to me and asked how he got there and why.
