Chapter Six.
Hearth's Warming Eve.
Rainbow and Blood Cream sat by a carriage window as the passenger train twisted its way though the forests on the way to Canterlot she sighed as the castle came into view. AJ sat next to her and looked at her expression.
Blood Cream watched the tree fly by, she was to busy to hear AJ.
''Whats wrong sugar cube?'' She asked as she put her arm over Rainbow's shoulder, Rainbow sighed.
''I miss 'him' AJ. I miss David so much.'' Rainbow said before tearing up, ''I wish he would come back'' She added as she wiped her tears away.
''We all miss him too Dash.'' AJ said, comforting the crying mare, ''I sure he'll come back.'' AJ added as the train approached the station.
AJ saw Applebloom and smiled.
''Hey! Theres Applebloom.'' AJ added
As the girls stepped out of the carriage AJ and Applebloom ran towards each other and gave each other a big hug.
''I've missed you so much AJ.'' Applebloom said as she embraced the hug, ''How's Spike.'' She added, making AJ blush.
''He's fine, me and him just started to sleep in the same bed.'' AJ said, blushing a bright red.
''I just saw David.'' Applebloom said to Rainbow making her perk up.
''What! When!'' Dash said getting into Applebloom's face, ''Tell me!'' She added, shaking Applebloom before letting her go.
''He's just about to leave for PonyVille.'' Applebloom said, adjusting her neckerchief, ''You could still catch him, he hasn't left...'' She added before being cut off by a loud blast of a horn and the hum of an engine.
David started up the engines as the passenger train rolled passed, once the line was clear, the diesels rolled forward over the points with a click clank. The horn blew as it went passed the signal box, the engine's heart beat sounding like the buzz of a phone on vibrate. The fresh paint shining in the morning sun as storm clouds began to gathered overhead.
As the train went through Canterlot station, its horn blew as it's began in journey down to PonyVille, Rainbow tried to give chase but was stopped by one of Twilight's levitation spells.
''Just forget him!'' Twilight said with a angry look across her face as she watched Rainbow try to chase David.
''No!'' Rainbow replied trying to escape Twilight's spell, ''I want to see him, let me go!'' She added, grunting angrily.
''Rainbow, David left this for you.'' Applebloom said, giving Rainbow the note.
Rainbow read the note which said.
''Dear Rainbow, I'm coming back to Equestria, meet me at Sugarcube corner later but if you have moved on, don't show up, i'll get the message. Yours, D.''
Rainbow dropped the note as the rain began to fall. Twilight's horn glowed as she stopped the note from landing on the wet ground and brought to towards her to read it.
Rainbow's eyes filled up with tears as Twilight read it out loud. She looked up as Rainbow began to cry, she wrapped her wing around the mare bring her into a hug.
''It's ok mum.'' Blood Cream said as she hugged her mother. Rainbow wiped the tears from her eyes and looked over at a clock, her eyes widened as she looked at the time.
''Oh no! We're going to be late!'' She said as she shot up, picking up Blood Cream and flew towards the theater followed by the others. David's note was placed into Rainbow's saddle bag as the words replayed in her mind.
As David's train arrived in PonyVille, the rain pelted the ground as thunder rumbled in the distance, lightning flashed as the train stopped on an old rusty siding that was close to town.
David looked out the window as the rain trickled down it, he then looked over at the box that had all his things inside, he stepped over to it and pulled out a part of Springtrap's ear which he found tangled in the brake hose.
He then pulled out an old photo of him and Rainbow after that event with the diesel, he smiled slightly as the memories rolled in. He looked up when lightning flashed out the corner of his eye.
Once the engines were shut down, David put on his jacket and walked out into the rain with his hood up as he walked towards the local flower shop which luckily was still open.
He walked up to the shop and opened the door making a bell ring, he looked around the shop. There were flowers everywhere, on the floor, on shelves and hanging from the ceiling. He stopped when he got to the counter.
''Hello? Is anyone here?'' He said, confused until a pale yellow mare with two-tone raspberry mane appeared from the backroom.
''Hi, im Roseluck, welcome to my store, what can i do for you today?'' She said cheerfully with a smile.
''Yes, im looking for blue orchids? do you have any?'' David asked her.
''What shade of blue, we have Cyan, Azure, Teal and so on,'' She said looking at her collection of orchids.
''Any shade, im not picky,'' He replied with a smile.
''Ok, sir.'' Roseluck said, picking up ten shades of blue colored orchid and tying them into a bunch, ''Would you like something else?'' She asked, putting the flowers on the counter.
''No that's all, how much is it?'' David said, putting his hands in his pockets to get some bits.
''Oh 5 bits.'' She smiled as David gave her the bits, ''Thank you come again.'' She added at he walked out the shop.
David walked along one of the back streets of PonyVille towards Twilight's library but stopped when he saw its burned out remains. He asked a pony who was walking by.
''What happened? Where is Twilight Sparkle?'' He said asking a orange Pegasus with a purple mane.
''She live over there now.'' The mare said, pointing towards Twilight's castle.
''Ok thank you.'' He said before walking towards the castle, ''Its Scootaloo, isn't it.'' He added.
''Yes it is, how did you...'' She said turning around only to see that David had gone, she shrugged it off and walked off.
David walked up to the castle and knocked on the door hoping to get out of the rain, the door opened, revealing a green and purple dragon.
''Oh hi David, long time no see, would you like to come in?'' The dragon said jesting him to come in.
''Thanks spike.'' David replied as he placed his jacket on a warm radiator.
David followed Spike into the main room and sat by the fireplace.
As the hours ticked away the play finished and the girls made they way back to PonyVille, Rainbow sat by a window as the train roared thought forests, David's note replaying in her mind, she shook it off when Rarity sat next to her.
''So, what are you gonna do?'' Rarity asked her, ''Are you gonna meet David or not?'' She added as the train entered a tunnel.
''Of course im gonna see him, i still love him, and i need to tell him about Blood Cream.'' Rainbow replied, jestering towards Blood Cream who was asleep.
''Oh i understand, but you should get your self cleaned when we get back to Twilight's.'' Rarity replied as the train approached PonyVille.
Once the train pulled into PonyVille the girls stepped off and walked back to the castle. Rainbow carried Blood Cream who was still asleep on her back.
''Hey, Twi, once we're back at your's is it ok if i put Blood Cream in your bed?'' Rainbow asked the lavender princess.
''Sure, we are having a sleep over after all.'' Twilight smiled as the rain lightened up, ''Also if you want, you can use my shower.'' She added as opened the door but stopped when she heard spike talking to someone. Rainbow put Blood Cream in bed before going to find that voice.
David and Spike were talking unknown that the girls were back and coming towards them.
''So, your here to see Rainbow Dash, why?'' Spike asked David, while they sat in the throne room.
''It's because i missed her, she is just so special in everything she does, i guess you could say, i still love her'' David said, not knowing Rainbow was standing behind him.
''I love you too.'' She said, making David jump. He turned around to see her standing behind him, crying.
