Chapter 17: Interview

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

*2 Weeks Later*

"Do we have to do this?" Rainbow whines at me.

"I know it'll be hard for you, but just chill out and go with it."

"What if I don't know what to say?"

"Then I'll answer for you. I can cover for you if you're at a loss for words."

We're currently waiting in the back of the news studio, waiting for our interview to start. About a week ago, I got a letter in the mail asking Rainbow and I to come onto the local news channel. We get a good fifteen minute segment where the interviewer will ask us questions about Rainbow and who she is. I'm kinda psyched about it, as I think it'll be good for Rainbow to get the world to know her better.

"You're on in two minutes." One of the guys working the cameras says over to us. We watch as the three reporters sit on a couch in the main studio. They're talking about something that I hadn't really been paying attention to. I look down at my watch to see it's only about a minute before we have to get out there.

"Ready for this Rainbow?"

"I... Yeah, I got this."

"-and today, we have two VERY special guests with us." A man on the couch waves for us to come onto the set. I nod down to Rainbow and we walk out onto the set. We wave at the cameras quickly and sit down on the second couch across from the reporters.

"Today we have Matthew Green, as well as a very special guest, Mrs. Rainbow Dash. Guys, welcome to the show."

"Happy to be here." I say professionally as I shake the man's hand. He's sitting between a woman and another man who are giving us both warm, friendly smiles.

"Well, since our time is limited today, what do you say we get to the part everybody's dying to see?"

"Sounds good to me." I say as I wrap an arm around Rainbow.

"We have some questions submitted to us via Twitter, but first I must ask. Are you two together Mr. Green?"

"I..." I look over at the camera. Should I really reveal this on national television? Ah, fuck it, people will find out eventually anyway right? "Yeah, we are I suppose." The woman reporter responds differently than I expected her to.

"You're very lucky Matthew. She's beautiful isn't she?" The woman nudges the man next to her.

"You bet. Very cute." Rainbow blushes at their compliments and snuggles up into my side to kind of hide herself.

"Okay, first question. Where are you from, and how did you get here?" The male reporter asks.

"From what I understand, she was defending a friend or something. I was never able to get a full explanation out of her, but she said something about a guy named Discord."

"Actually." Rainbow sits up and looks at the reporters. "My friend, Twilight got in a fight with this guy named Discord. He cast some spell on her, but I jumped in front of her. Next thing I know, I'm in Matt's bedroom."

"A spell you say? That sounds a little far fetched." The woman reporter says.

"You're talking to a pegasus. I don't think anything is far fetched about this." I say with a chuckle.

"You make a good point Mr. Green." She laughs back.

"Okay, second question, this one's for you Matthew. What is life like with Rainbow, and if you could, would you have prevented her from coming to you."

"Wow, wasn't expecting that. But to answer your question, life has been absolutely amazing since Rainbow came here. It's been a little over a month since her arrival, and every day has been a new journey with her. I wouldn't trade her for anything."

"Aw..." The woman reporter coos.

"You seem very happy together." The man on the right says with a smile. "Have you gotten any negative reactions to being with each other?"

"We haven't told anyone except for my friends and family. So, really, you guys are the first to get the inside scoop." I say with a wink. "But, I suppose we will get some hateful comments coming our way. I see Rainbow as just another person, not some kind of animal. I can understand if other people don't understand that though."

"Well, I certainly support you two, and I wish you a very happy life together."

"Thank you." Rainbow says with a happy smile, her head still pressed into my side.

"Okay, final question. Rainbow, are you happy being here on earth?"

"..." Rainbow just stares at the reporter. She looks up at me and gulps. She turns back to the reporter. "I love it... at first, I missed my friends. I thought I'd never be happy again... Do you know what it's like to be ripped away from your home, and then to be told that you can't go back? It's horrible. But I found a new source of happiness, a light in the darkness if you will. About a week after arriving here, I started to develop feelings for someone. I think it's pretty obvious who that was... To be honest, I've never been happier than I am now. Without Matt, who knows what would have happened to me? I-I love him. I need him." Rainbow starts to tear up at the end. I knew I meant a lot to her, but I didn't know her entire life revolved around me.

"That's... Oh come here." The woman stands up and walks over to Rainbow. They hug each other and both tear up, both being moved by Rainbow's speech. I might have been tearing up myself a little...

"Well, sadly we're out of time for today. Hopefully we can get you two back on sometime. Would that be possible?" The reporter on the right says.

"We'd love to sir. Thank you." I stand up and shake the reporters hands. Rainbow follows behind me and does the same. We wave to the camera one more time before walking off the set.


"That was an amazing speech at the end there Rainbow." I say as we enter my truck.

"And I meant every word I said. Do you know how much you've changed me Matt? You've made me all sappy and soft." She laughs as she playfully punches my arm.

"I know what you mean. I've seen you on the show, and you never acted like you do now."

"Well, I've never been in love as much as I am now."

"I can say the exact same thing." I say as I ruffle her mane around. "Shall we head home?"

"You bet."

Author's Notes:

Just a short, fun chapter I decided to put out while I had a little free time. My new story is being approved right now, and it should be out really soon, so keep an eye out for it!

*P.S.* I'm getting a little bit of writers block for this story as the ideas I do have can't be implemented due to the time of the year the story is currently in. (Ex. I want to do Christmas chapters or summer vacation chapters, but I can't because its only October in the story.)

So, If you have any chapter ideas, contact me on kik @bombshelter1

Next Chapter: Run Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 30 Minutes
