Day 4, October 19

Okay, that’s it, I can’t take it anymore. I am not bothered by Rainbow Dash, I am bothered by the SHOW itself. Look, I know that it would make me look “bad” in front of my friends…*No offence to any of you bronies, I don’t have a problem with you*. The general joy I am getting from my experiences with Rainbow are making my open curiosity for Friendship is Magic even MORE intense than it originally was.

I am about to watch a movie with Dashie, then suddenly she says “Hold on, I’m gonna go to the bathroom.” I’m glad she did, because as she was gone, I was scrolling through the popular shows on Netflix, when it appears…”My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” I am doing this on my laptop, so if she walks back in, I’ll be able to see her, and scroll away quickly.

I panic, and I want to know what the hell her origin is...she returns, and I ask what movie she wants to see. She is confused, and told me, “Weren’t we JUST scrolling through so we can see what is good? I started to panic again. If I scroll randomly again, it could pop back up again, and she would get really sad.
So as a lie (for her own good), I said I saw a couple good movies, and said we should agree on the choices. I guess she saw me sweat, because she looked at me, narrowed her eyes, gave me a stern look, and raised a brow. I began to get a bit MORE nervous, and she gave me a regular look again. So i gave her some options. Horror, action, comedy, and romance.

What she chose confused me, because, when she fell asleep the first night she was here, I did a wiki on her character, and it stated that, in the show, she was more of a pony who like Action, Gore, or anything along the lines of something that got your blood rising…basically, she is pretty much a tomboy.

Instead of choosing Friday the 13th, which she CLEARLY she saw was a serial killer movie, with blood and guts. Instead of choosing something like Red, Die Hard, or something along those lines, (which AGAIN has blood and guts), .INSTEAD of wanting to watch something like Family Guy, Ted, or anything like that...she chose romance… I felt weird.
This was not the same pony i was reading about on Wiki, this was more along the lines of someone like a mix of Fluttershy, and someone who is SUPER CALM...except only she didn’t interact with animals, or was shy, and she wasn’t always calm, she would have her moments, but she was mostly calm.

The article came with a ten minute video, which contained multiple clips, and sound bites of Rainbow Dash, she was a very self-confident, sporty, competitive, happy-go-lucky pony. Instead of being the pony from the show, she was mellow, caring, obedient to almost everyone it seems, and right now...she was staring at me, almost like a dreamy look. She was looking at me with a smile, and I could see a slight redness in her cheeks.

I told her hold on, and I’ll be right back. As I walked out the door, I could hear a slight sigh. I walked to the bathroom, I had my iPod, and I looked up A LOT about her. She apparently according to the internet, was in a relationship with another pegasus, and his name was Soarin’. I was really confused, because if she was with him, then why was she giving me that look.

I knew that there was NO mistake...she liked me. Jesus, I don’t know what to do...do I tell her I’m not into her, do I just accept it. I’m single, but if I wasn’t, I would say as soon as she gave me that look! I’m in the bathroom, wondering what I should do-”Riley, you okay in there?” I can hear her voice. It isn’t like usual, instead it was a really gentle voice. I say yes, and say I’ll be out in a minute, but that I was just thinking about something.

As soon as she left, I began to have certain thoughts...I don’t know, I think I might...like her back. No, I can’t, there is no way that I like a pony. Because if I did, how would I tell a girl if I was told I was liked by a HUMAN. Yeah, just tell her,”Oh, I’m sorry, but I already have a girlfriend, and her name is Rainbow Dash, she is a made up character from a TV show called My Little Pony.”

My mind had made a decision, and my conscience made another. My mind was telling me that I like her, but my conscience told me that it wasn’t a good idea, because it could fuck Equestria and earth up. My mind was winning the battle, and I had to make a decision fast, Dashie was waiting in my room, and if she gets bored enough, she will start to look on Netflix, and might find MLP.

When I finished that thought, the battle between my mind and conscience finished with it...my mind won. I like her… How the HELL would I do this. I knew she liked me, but I have no idea HOW ponies dated back in Equestria. Then, I remembered, that she chose a romance movie, and I’ve seen A LOT of movies where, in the middle of the movie, the couple there would make a move on eachother. I know it’s not the smartest option, but it was my last resort.

Then, I also remembered the My Little Dashie series I listened to, and when Soarin’ made a move on Dash, she was hesitant at first, but soarin’ jumped on her and kissed her. It’s ALSO dangerous, because she may not like it. Although, that seemed about as similar as the way certain couples would start. So I made a final decision, although my conscience was exploding, telling me that it was too risky. I walked out of the bathroom, sure that I was going to do this. I would first have to break the ice a little, so when I walked in, I said, “Let’s watch this movie then, ok?.” with a smile on my face. “Yay!” she said as she smiled, and jumped on my bed.

Just before I let her do anything, I did something a little risky...I asked if there was anyone she was with, she blushed, and said no, that they broke up a month ago. I said I broke up with my girlfriend a year ago. She said oh, kind of blushed a bit, then smiled. Yep, she definitely likes me. But this is a bit scary, because I’m sure that if she WAS the Rainbow Dash from the show, I know she wouldn’t settle for less. I know that she won’t settle for less. Her boyfriend had to be someone who could keep up with her, and she even knows that I am just someone who will stay inside for HOURS-on-end playing video games, or watching videos on YouTube.

I shut my thoughts off, and picked up my laptop, and sat on the carpet. “So, it was romance you wanted to see?” I said. “Yes.” she said with a smile, and the look she gave me before I went into the bathroom. I looked at every movie. Most of them were one of three things, Gay, Lesbian, or Porno. I...don’t want to have sex with a pony. So we were starting to get hopeless, but we chose one out of random. It wasn’t R, it was PG-13, but it still was AGAIN, a last resort.
Just before the movie began, I went out in the living to tell everyone that Dashie and I wanted to have some alone time. Yes, everyone in the family knows about her now, my step dad, and my two brothers. They found out when Dashie and I were sitting at the kitchen table, playing minecraft on my computer. They were confused, but I explained to them what happened, and they accepted it.

So, after I said that, mom said no doing anything with her (you know what she means) I looked at her, and said…”Mom, she’s a pony, how is that even possible?” She nodded, and said, “Have fun.” After that, I went back to my room, and we started the movie.

I closed the door quietly, sat down, and sat by Dashie. We watched, or at least she was. I was looking at the screen, but I have no idea what has happened. I’m just waiting for the climax to happen. I whispered in my mom’s ear before the movie started this,”Can I please bring some pop-corn in the room, I won’t make a mess.” They are SUPER protective about food in my room. She said okay. So right now Dash and I are sitting eating pop-corn. I’m waiting for it to happen.
(Sorry, but I’m gonna explain this, I will sometimes switch narration between Rainbow Dash, and me, so you have both perspectives of the story. it will be easy to notice it, I will put a - right before the sentence to symbolize a change.)
-I sat there by Riley, and I know I haven’t known him for long, but I know I like him. If only he could make a move. I’m not even sure if he likes me, or not. I hope he does. Because if it weren’t for Soarin’ breaking up with me, I wouldn’t have isolated myself from ponyville. Most importantly, I never would have found the portal that led me here.

Life was hard for me here at first, I was trying to earn bits (or money as they call it), but all of the jobs here weren’t going to hire a pony. I almost got caught by some people, but I flew away quickly. At last, I reached Riley’s house. I’m glad I did. I don’t know if Twilight will come to take me home, but I love this place too much to leave.

I’m next to my crush, and everyone in his family knows me. They’ve all gotten to know me. I’m glad, I don’t care if something gets messed up, I love this place too much to leave.

-It came, Dash was sitting by me, she was getting antsy, and I could tell I wanted to make a move.

-Okay, this is ridiculous. I’m sitting by Riley, and he won’t even make a move. I want to do it myself but I’m too nervous.

-Okay, that’s it! I’m gonna tell her. But I got to pay attention to something first. I know this the absolute OLDEST trick in the book, but when she goes to reach into the pop-corn, I will go in after her hoove. This is my ABSOLUTE last resort. If this fails, I’m done.

-Maybe I could try something with him, when I go to reach for some pop-corn, maybe he can reach in after me. I know it’s not the best idea, but you gotta start somewhere.

-I saw it, she reached in, now was my chance. So I reached in after her. It worked. Our hand and hoof met, and she looked at me, and I looked at her. We couldn’t look away. Our hand and hoof were still holding. Now was the time.

-After I reached in, I felt his hand. I knew it, he does like me. I was nervous, and I didn’t know what to do. So I knew what to do. So I started to lean.

-It happened before I could notice. We kissed, and we stayed silent for the rest of the movie. Our hoof and hand no longer held.

When it was over we just stood there, not saying anything. Finally I broke the silence,”So...I hope that...um…” That was all I could say before I got on my bed, it was now or never!

-So we kissed. and I just sat by him, we didn’t say a word to each other. Then Riley was clearly trying to break the silence, but he felt just as awkward as I did. He told me that he was going back to school on Monday (before we started the movie, of course).
How would he tell his friends about this. After this, he crawled on his bed. I was just about to get in bed too, when-

-“Dash.” I said to her. She stopped, then looked at me. I got out of bed, she was standing in front of me. We just stared for about 3 seconds when I asked…”I really like you...do you want to go out?”

-He stopped me before I could get up, he looked at me for about three seconds, when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I know I have been in a relationship before, but I felt nervous. I had no idea what to say...I told him hold on a second. I made my way to the bathroom again...

I walked in, then I thought (okay, I want to say yes, but it’s so nerve-racking). I know it’s just one word, but it’s hard. I know he did the hardest part just now, but I’m still nervous.
I made my mind, and exited with all of my confidence. I just walked in…,”Riley, I will.”

-She left a while after I asked her, and she looked nervous as HELL. I followed her a bit, and peeked out my room, she went in the bathroom again. She was probably in there for 10 minutes, when she got out. She walked in, and said yes.

I instantly smiled, and she smiled. Now, we had to decide where we were going to go. I know some ordinary restaurant wouldn’t easily let some guy with a pegasus in so easily. We were trying to find out a solution. Just then, my friend called me on Skype. I told Dashie to please go behind my laptop, I kissed her, then she hid behind my laptop, lying down on my legs. I answered the call.

-Riley was sitting there with me asking where we should go, but we both agreed that there was no place we could normally go. I love him too much to just say nevermind. Just as we decided to stay home, and just do something alone, his laptop started making noises.

“Shit!” he said. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was getting a call on skype, he kissed me told me to please go behind his laptop, because his friend might see me. So I said okay, and rested on his legs.
-So, after I answered the call, my friend and I talked, I was getting ready to tell him about my relationship with Rainbow Dash. The call went on for about 5 minutes more, and I said, ”Look, I’ve known you for so many years now.” (I was trying to make it sound friendly, because I didn’t want Dashie to think I was asking another person out.)
I continued to talk to him, “and you’ve known ME for a long time. You know that I know we can keep secrets with each other.” Dash probably knew what I was going to do, and she looked at me, she slid her hoof across her neck, she was trying to tell me, “This isn’t a good idea.”

-In the middle of Riley’s talk with his friend, he said, “You know we could trust each other.” I knew what he was going to do, he was going to tell him about me. I just looked at him, trying to get him to keep it secret. He then said, “Hold on, I’ll be right back.”

-After I told him that, he said okay, I took off my headset, muted the mic, and turned off the camera. The first thing Dash did was ask me what I was DOING.
I said that I was going to tell him, but before she could move, I said, “Look, I’ve known him for years, and we STILL have secrets we have kept, that we didn’t tell ANYONE about. If I told him, he would be confused, but he WOULD keep it a secret. So Dashie said ok hesitantly, then lied back down.

-I wanted to say no as I layed back down on his legs. I hope that Riley was saying is true, because I trust him already, and I’ve only known him for 4 days. I just let it happen.

-I put my headset back on, unmuted the mic, and turned the video feed back on. “Look, I know you think I’m someone who is really open about himself, but I need you to keep a HUGE secret. It would hurt me so bad if you told anyone!” He said okay, I looked at Dashie, who was nervous as HELL, and I told her to please come. She came slowly, and sat beside me.

“Riley?” He said as he was in his bed, as usual, I just gave him a serious look as he continued to try and tell me that what was happening was FAKE, and that the Rainbow Dash next to me was photoshopped. He finally asked Rainbow Dash to do certain actions. He finally asked her to do something REALLY vulgar, but I quickly returned in the line of sight of the camera, and centered on myself, “LOOK! She is real, okay. We are dating, and we need somewhere to go. The point is, will you let me come over, and let us have our first date there?”

He looked surprised, then smirked a bit, then said, “How will you get her in?” I said she is a pegasus, She could hover off the ground, and I could distract his mom at the front door. While he could let Dashie in through the back door, I could stall.

-He chuckled a bit, then went to see if I could.
He said yes! Me and Dashie cheered together. I thanked him, Dashie thanked him. He said come at anytime tomorrow. My mom asked how we would get Dashie in there. I said I’ll distract his mom at the front door while he lets Dashie in through the back door.

We agreed, and I was going back to my room, when she told what I hoped she wouldn’t. “Have fun with your new girlfriend.” Everyone was asleep at this time, Dashie, mom, and I were the only ones awake, so I’m glad for that. My step brother was not with us at the time, so she didn’t hear me ask Dash out. I turned around, she was smiling at me. She wasn't mad at me.

“How did you know?” I asked. She said she heard me ask her out in my room. I smiled and said I will. I went in my room to tell Dashie the news, and there she sat, sitting down on the ground. I told her. She was really happy. We didn’t sleep separate, and we didn’t um…(you know). But, we did sleep in the same bed *PERVE* , but we just stayed up until 12:00, then we dozed off.

-I had sat by Riley when he told his friend that he needed somewhere to be for his first date with me. His friend, (I’ll call him 1, just because) 1 said we could. He told me the plan, I said okay, then he went to go check his schedule. He was gone for 3 minutes. He finally came in and said we were going. I felt so happy that I was going on my first date with Riley. I said yay. We didn’t sleep in the same place we usually do, we slept together tonight, because the excitement got us so tired, that we just lied down on the bed, and fell right asleep (LUL).

We fell asleep after about 3 minutes, we just talked about what we were going to do tomorrow, he wasn’t sure, but he said we would find out. We were tired, so we were just smiling at each other, then we finally had fallen asleep in each other’s arms.

-I was just going on Team Fortress 2 today, when I decided to call Riley. I was just bored, so I called him. He took a while, but finally answered my call. He looked tired, and he looked a bit worried.
We talked a bit before he started to tell me that he has known me for years and that we could keep secrets with each other. I know this, and I’ve always known this. He also knows this. I saw him look up for 5 seconds. I started to feel weird, and he told me “Hold on” he took off his headphones, muted himself, and turned off his camera.

He didn’t come back until about 5 minutes later. He was in the camera again, and he was showing me something I wanted to laugh at. But, thank god I didn’t. He said come here, please, and sure enough, a rainbow colored cyan pony stepped in beside my best-friend. This character (from what I think) is called “Rainbow Dash” from My Little Pony stepped into view. I wanted to laugh, but I just gave him a look that showed that I wasn’t buying it. He gave me a look he only gives when he’s serious. I still didn’t buy it.

There was no way that Rainbow Dash was there. So I asked him to step out of view, and I asked her to do certain things. She did everything, and I was considering this to be real. I thought for a minute, then I asked her to get naked.
She raised an eyebrow, and her mouth dropped. I heard Riley say that he asked her out just now, and he needed a place for them to go, so he asked if he could come to my house. I smirked, and told him that there was no way that he was going to be able to bring a Rainbow Dash in the house.

He told me his plan, and it was legit. I would be able to see the Rainbow Dash that isn’t there. But the only reason I did say that he could (after my schedule had NOTHING on it), was because I wanted him over to hang out. He hung up. I was thinking for once, I need to tell my mom that 1. we needed to be alone (she is SUPER nosey), and 2. that I needed to ask her if we could eat in my room alone as well.

I asked her right now to save time, she said yes to both, and I THANKED her. She asked why, and I said, “Because we don’t ever get to do this, and it would mean the WORLD to me if you could let me.” So she said okay. I went back on my laptop, and played Team Fortress 2, I fell asleep playing.

Author's Notes:

This is Chapter 2 of my fan-fic (note that I was briefly searching on the internet when I saw Dash X Soarin', so that's why I included the realtionship
