Chapter 10: Play Ball - Part 2

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"Yeah!" The crowd screams as the ball soars up and over the left field fence. It's the fourth inning and it seems that Rainbow now understands at least the basics of the game, allowing her to participate in cheering at appropriate moments.

"What a hit!" Alex yells as he sits back down.

"Hey, we're at the top of the line-up." I say while pointing at the next batter. "Hey! How about one over here!?" I yell.

The pitcher winds up and lets the ball fly. The batter makes contact, but the ball doesn't hit at the right angle, and it heads straight for the stands. It's coming at us, but it's way too high to reach. But we have something that nobody else does.

"Rainbow! Up!" I yell as I point at the ball above us.

"On it!" Rainbow takes off at lightning speed and appears in front of the ball. The crowd gasps, then cheers when Rainbow catches the ball against her chest. "Got it!" She yells while holding the ball between her hooves.

I look over at the big screen while Rainbow descends back into her seat. When she lands I jump slightly and point at the big screen.

"Dude, that's us!" Alex yells as he waves in the direction of the camera. Rainbow and I wave with him as people try to push their way into the camera shot. The camera doesn't move off of us when I think it will. Even the players are staring at us on the screen.

"It's like they've never seen a rainbow colored pony before." Alex mutters while still waving with an awkward smile. Eventually the big screen fades back to the stats of the batter, and the game continues.

"This is fun guys." Rainbow says while putting a leg around each of our shoulders.

"Are you kidding? This is more than fun. This is the best game I've ever been to!" Alex says while watching the batter.

"Yeah, you make it so much more fun." I say while ruffling Rainbow's hair. Rainbow smiles and leans on my arm, placing a leg around my chest in a hugging position. I think it might look weird, but I don't push her away since I know I'll have to get used to it eventually. I put an arm around her shoulders and pull her into my side.

"Hey, Alex." I say while pulling out my phone.

"Yeah?"

"Take a selfie with us in it."

"Gotcha." Alex catches my phone after I toss it to him. He opens Instagram and goes to my profile. "Holy shit, you got a ton of followers."

"Yeah, you can thank the news for that. Now take the picture man!"

Alex opens the front camera and points it at us. Rainbow and I smile, still holding each other. Alex leans towards us and extends his arm so that we all fit into it. He snaps the picture and hands the phone back to me.

"Nice, this looks really good." I say as I post the picture. For the description I put, "Baseball with Rainbow and Alex. #suns"

I pocket the phone and go back to holding Rainbow to my side. We watch the game until the sixth inning when something I wasn't expecting to happen, happened. Between innings they always do some game or something to entertain the crowd. Well this time, they're doing one of those kiss cam things, and guess who they ended up putting the camera on.

"Uh..." Alex says as he stares at himself on the big screen. On the screen is the outline of a heart with Rainbow and myself in it. Alex can be seen on the side of the screen. Rainbow and I look at each other, then smile awkwardly at the screen. In private, I wouldn't mind this at all, but they want me to kiss her in front of thousands of people. The camera doesn't move, and everyone around us is cheering for us to do it. Eventually we both give in to the crowd.

Rainbow leans up and plants one right on my lips. She holds it there for a second or two before pulling back and listening to the crowd. Thankfully they aren't laughing like I thought they would. Instead, they're actually cheering and screaming for us. The camera pans to a different couple and the three of us breathe sighs of relief.

"That was awkward..." Rainbow mumbles as she leans back into me.

"I don't know, I kinda liked it." I say while twirling a strand of her hair.

"You don't mind the fur?" Alex chuckles.

"What's wrong with my fur?" Rainbow says in defense.

"I don't really mind. Kinda tickles though."

"Does it also tickle your..." Alex points down at his crotch and loses his shit laughing at his own joke.

"Alex, come on dude." I deadpan. "We didn't do that, did we Rainbow?"

"Uh no. We didn't."

"Yeah yeah, you will though, I'm calling it." Alex pulls down his hat and looks back at the game.

"Whatever man." I go back to watching the game.

"Who all knows? Y'know, about you two being a thing." Alex asks a few minutes later.

"Just you and Skyler actually. I haven't told my parents or Emily yet."

"Just make sure they're ready for it when you do. No telling how they'll take the news."

"I just hope they don't disapprove of it..." I look down at Rainbow who fell asleep a couple of minutes ago. She lets out a little sound that makes both of us laugh.

"Did she just fucking neigh in her sleep?" Alex tries to cover his laugh with a hand.

"I think so, I wish I had recorded it to hold it against her later." I laugh. I wake Rainbow back up so she won't miss the game.

The game ends about half an hour later with the Suns taking home the win.

"That was so fun!" Rainbow expresses as I open the car door for her. I enter in after her and sigh as I lean back.

"I usually don't have that much fun at games, but you two made it worth the while." I say as I pull her into my side. I've found that I subconsciously hold her like this. It's so addictive and she loves when I do it.

"You guys up for lunch? It's only like noon." Alex says as he pulls out onto the road. "We could try that barbecue place down the road."

"Yeah, I don't think so. Rainbow would puke so hard if we just walked in there." I say as I try to think of an alternative. "We could go to Uncle Luigi's! It's been a while since we've been there."

"Sounds like a plan." Alex heads in the direction of the pizza place. "So Matt, isn't your birthday next Saturday?"

"Hey, yeah, it is! I almost forgot about that myself."

"It's your birthday next week?" Rainbow takes her head off my shoulder to look up at me.

"Yep, October 16." I say as the restaurant comes into view.

"Good to know..."

We get out of the car once we park, and head into the restaurant where we're greeted by Uncle Luigi again.

"The usual?" He says before we can even say hi.

"You know it!" I reply as we sit in a booth. I sit with Rainbow and Alex sits on the other side from us.

"You guys make me jealous y'know." Alex says as he spins his phone around on the table. "You meet just two and a half weeks ago, and now you're like the perfect match up. I've never found anyone like that."

"You totally will dude. I'm calling it now that you'll find someone by the end of the year."

"I don't know man, I've never really been one to date. Speaking of which, did you guys go anywhere yesterday? A first date perhaps?"

"Unless you count sleeping, then no." Rainbow says as she looks up at me with an annoyed look. "All he wanted to do was sleep."

"You're parents are really trusting Matt. Letting you sleep with a girl in your own bed every night. My parents would NEVER let that happen."

"Well they probably wouldn't expect us to... do anything. We aren't exactly compatible if you haven't noticed."

"I doubt you'd be able to make her happy anyway." Alex chuckles with an evil smirk. Rainbow tries to cover her own snicker with a hoof.

"What are you getting at?" I say in defense.

"I'm saying that I bet you're not packin a punch if you know what I mean." Alex and Rainbow just laugh even harder.

"You don't know that! I am not small!" I can practically feel my face turning red.

"You better make her happy soon Matt. Wouldn't wanna walk in on her doing it for herself." Now Rainbow's face turns red as well.

"Can we cut it with the sex jokes now?"

"Well we need SOMETHING funny to talk about." Alex replies.

"How about how Rainbow neighed in her sleep?" I chuckle.

"I did what?" She looks up at me with a confused expression.

"You fucking neighed in your sleep like a horse. It was kinda cute, but funny at the same time."

"I'm not cute." She mumbles as she crosses her front legs and her ears droop.

"Oh yes you are." I say while messing with the feathers on her wing. "You're like a big teddy bear."

Rainbow goes to say something, but is cut off when our pizza is slid onto the table along with our drinks. We eat and drink for a good hour before Alex stands up.

"Looks like I gotta go. You guys need a ride home?" Alex says as he takes out his cut of the bill and places it on the table.

"I think we'll walk. It's nice weather today."

"Alright, well I'll catch you guys later." Alex waves to us as he walks out of the parlor. We wave back before turning out attention back to each other.

"Want a milkshake?" I ask Rainbow. "I've got some cash left."

"Sure!"

I order a chocolate milkshake which is brought to us not long after.

"So are we sharing this or what?" Rainbow asks as I put in two straws.

"Yep. It's so cliche though. But it's the little things that matter the most."

We both slowly drain the glass of its contents while talking and just enjoying each others company.

"I wonder what we'd be doing right now if you hadn't spilled the beans last night." I say while we're just looking into each others' eyes.

"I'd probably be depressed and you would have no idea." She responds.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch on sooner. You know you can tell me anything and I won't judge you for it. You should have just told me how you felt."

"What matters is that we're here now, together." She smiles as we finish the drink.

"C'mere." I mumble as I pull her up to me. I can taste the milkshake again as our lips meet together.
