Chapter 7: Alone With Your Thoughts

You managed to find a fairly large cloud to sit on while you began to think about your feelings. You quickly checked to make sure none of them were following you, and when you saw no signs of any Pegasus in the sky, you went to the middle of the cloud.

Now, who do I like more...

                              ______________________________________________________

I know Spitfire likes me...

You remember the first time you met Spitfire. It was a cold winter night, and there was a large blizzard outside, almost at white out conditions, when you heard a knock on your door. When you opened it you didn't see anyone, but then you looked down and saw a golden Pegasus shivering from the cold. Without thinking you dragged the Pegasus inside, set it by the fire, and grabbed as many blankets as you could. It was only when you were wrapping the Pegasus up did you realize that the mysterious Pegasus you had brought in was a girl, a good looking one at that. You quickly thought of what to do, do you try and wake her up, or do you leave her be?

After you thought for a long time about it, you decided to let the mare sleep, and wake up on her own accord. You lifted her up and carried her to your bed, making sure she was comfortable, and you grabbed a few of the blankets you had used to wrap her up, as you still needed something to sleep on. You took the blankets you had grabbed and walked off to the living room, opting to sleep on the couch in there rather than on the floor somewhere else.

The next morning you woke up to a golden mare staring you in the face.

"AH!" you both scream simultaneously.

"What were you doing, staring at me like that" you ask after standing up.

"Well, uh, I was trying to figure out who you were, and, uh..."

"You know you could have just woken me up right?"

"Well, yeah, but, uh..."

You noticed her face turn a little red, and she turned a bit away from you, probably because she was embarrassed that she had been caught staring at you in your sleep. It took a few moments of awkward silence before you realized that you were fairly hungry, and it was safe to assume she was as well. You quickly ran off into the kitchen, planning to cook up some pancakes and hay fries.

"How do you like your hay fries, normal or extra crispy?" you ask, only now realizing that you always make yours extra crispy.

"What? Oh, uh, I like mine extra crispy, why?"

"Well, I'm going to make some pancakes and hay fries, and didn't know how you liked yours done"

"Oh, uh, thanks but you don't have to, I can cook them myself"

"No, right now you're a guest in my house, so it's my job to make you breakfast"

You never gave her a chance to turn you down, as you quickly jumped into the kitchen and headed towards the cabinet that had what you need in it. Within moments you had everything set up and cooking, leaving you with nothing to do, but watch to make sure they wouldn't burn. As you sat down in one of the chairs that were in the room you noticed that you had been watched by the golden mare again.

"How did you manage to do all that in just over a minute?" you asked while looking at you in amazement.

"I'm fairly fast, so doing stuff like this is easy for me"

"Ya, but I'm the captain of the Wonderbolts, and even I can't do anything that fast!"

"Ya, well..." you start, "Wait? You're the captain of the Wonderbolts? You're Spitfire?"

"Uh, ya, couldn't you tell?" you asked while blushing due to your reaction.

"No, I've never seen you out of your suit before," you say now feeling embarrassed at your outburst, "By the way, you looks better without wearing your suit"

"Oh, uh, thanks," you says bashfully while looking away, "no one's ever said that to me before"

"I don't see why not, I mean, with your suit you look amazing, and without it..."

After seeing how red her face was getting, you finally realized how embarrassing what you were saying really was. You turned away, trying to hide how red your once face had become. You noticed that the hay fries had been cooking for a bit too long, but before you could go over and take them off the burner you were suddenly grabbed from behind. Before you could figure out what was going on you felt a body lay across your back, somepony's hooves had then been wrapped around your body.

"Spitfire, what are you..."

"What's your name?"

"Huh?"

"You know my name, what's your's?"

"Uh, well, my name's Chocolate Wings, but all my friends call me Choco"

"Well, then Choco, even though I just met you, I think I love you"

"WHAT?!"

You couldn't even bring yourself to think about what was happening. The Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts, just met you, has fallen in love with you? What the hell is going on? There's no way she could be telling the truth, this must be a joke of some kind, or a dream, maybe I've gone crazy and right now I'm in some weird dream world that I've created in my head, or maybe...

"Are you okay, you look like you've seen a ghost or something?"

"Huh, wha? Where am I?"

"You're in your kitchen, are you really okay, you seem like you've gone crazy"

You quickly stomped on hoof onto the other to make sure this was real, which only made Spitfire worry about your mental state even more. "Ok, now I really think something went wrong with your head, do you want me to take you to the hospital or something?"

"No I'm fine, just it seems like I'm dreaming," you say while rubbing your hoof, "Wait, what did you say to me just before I zoned out?"

"Well, I, uh..."

"What? I just want to make sure I didn't imagine it"

"Well, uh, I kinda said that I..."

"Yes?" you say while leaning towards Spitfire.

"I, uh, said that I loved you" she admitted while turning her head away from you.

"Ok I really must be dreaming, there's no way the real Spitfire would say that to a small town bum like me"

"Don't sell yourself short like that!" she said while forcing you to look at her, "You're a really nice guy, I don't think any mare I know would turn up a guy like you if they had a chance"

                              ______________________________________________________

Oh yeah, you can remember that day as if it was yesterday. Everyday after that you were pestered by Spitfire to join the Wonderbolts and tour the world along side her. Now you could laugh at how cliche it was, but back then it was a hell, every time you talked it would always start off with talks about how the two of you could have a life together, but it would always change at some point to you joining her in the Wonderbolts, being the greatest flying couple ever. Man was that ever annoying, you then realized that she was wrong about one thing, if you dated her you wouldn't be the two best flying couple ever...

You starting thinking about the short time you had spent, thinking of the fun times you had with each of them. You could remember all the odd things you had done with them that made the ten days you had spent with them enjoyable. You knew it had only been ten days, but you were sure some of the mares had the same feelings Spitfire had for you, you seemed to have that effect on mares. As you continued to think you didn't notice that the cloud you were riding on had managed to find it's way into a storm. You never heard the first thunder clap, as the first jolt of lightening had hit you and knocked you out...

                              ______________________________________________________

"What the hell happened to me?"

You were hit by lightening

"What?"

The cloud you were on had drifted into a storm

"Ok, so then, who are are you, and where am I?"

Well, we're in your subconscious

"Ok, but who the hell are you?"

I am your subconscious

"Son of a bitch" you mumble to yourself.

I heard that!
