Chapter 42: Vacation All I Ever Wanted

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"It actually kicked Matt!" Rainbow says in excitement as she squirms around on the sheets. I have my hand on her stomach, mouth agape, and tears slowly forming in my eyes. This has to be one of the most breathtaking things I have witnessed. I knew my son or daughter was in there, but to actually feel it moving... it's just so surreal. Rainbow laughs while crying at the same time, and feels around her stomach with me.

"T-This is incredible." I choke out. "T-This is actually my kid." And there's the tears. I'm not one to cry much, hell I didn't even cry when I took a shard of glass to the shoulder, but this... this is just an incredible moment for both of us. I never want it to end.

"I can't believe it Matt. I can't believe it." Rainbow whispers as I slowly pull away. While this is amazing and all, my own stomach is letting me know that it needs some nutrients.

"I'm gonna get dinner started, what do you two want?" I say as I lean on the frame of the door.

"Don't make fun of me for this, but I kinda want a peanut butter sandwich..."

"Doesn't sound that weird. I-"

"With pickles and mustard on it." I snap my head back towards her and give her my best "Dafuq?" look.

"EW! What the fuck Rainbow, that sounds horrible! Is this some pregnancy craving, or are you just really weird and I didn't know it."

"It sounds really good to me! Can you please make it for me Matty?" Damn, she called me Matty and gave me those sad eyes, the two things on this green earth that I can't resist.

"Fine, but if you vomit because of it, don't expect me to clean it up." I gag just at the thought of the awful sandwich, but make my way down to the kitchen anyway. I find myself in the lobby of the house, and take a second to admire the interior. The layout goes like this. You come in the front door, and it looks like a hotel lobby. There are two sets of stairs that lead to a balcony that overlooks the lobby. The bedrooms and my office can be reached from the balcony. If you walk under the balcony on the first floor, you will enter the living room which leads to the kitchen. Out back is a nice sized pool and some lawn chairs. That's the simple version of the house's layout, and I gotta say, I love it.

Back on topic, I walk into the kitchen and start pulling out the ingredients for Rainbow's disgusting sandwich. I spread the peanut butter on a slide of white bread, which is fine by me, but one I add the pickles and mustard, I almost run over to the sink to vomit. Just the smell alone... ugh, disgusting. No way in hell am I kissing her for a good day or so after this. I cut the sandwich in half, and start making my own dinner. I make a simple turkey sandwich, as well as a salad for the both of us to share. I place everything on a tray before pouring two glasses of milk. I carry the tray carefully up the stairs, and push the bedroom door open with my shoulder.

"Room service." I say with a smile as I walk in. I see Rainbow has a comedy movie ready on Netflix. I taught her how to manipulate my controller to do simple tasks like putting on a show. She can't place game obviously, but she manages to traverse the Xbox home screen fairly well.

"That looks really good!" She sits up against a pillow, and hold out her front legs to receive her plate. I hand it to her with a disgusted look, still not too thrilled to be anywhere near her stank ass sandwich. I place the tray down between us as I sit down on my bed. We spend the rest of the night eating, laughing, and enjoying each other's company.


"Got everything?" I ask the group as I shuffle through my bag.

"Yep, everything is here for the third time Matt!" Alex says impatiently. He taps his foot and looks at his nonexistent watch for dramatic effect. We're all standing in the front lobby of my house, checking over our supplies before heading out to the island.

"I want to make sure I don't have to come back for anything... Okay, phone fully charged, lunch, clothes... Looks like we're good."

"Finally!" Trevor says as he throws his hands in the air. "We've been ready for like fifteen minutes."

"Yeah, lets go already!" Rainbow says as she pushes up against my face. Bro, I can still smell your stank breath from that nasty ass sandwich. I pull a mint out of my bag and force it into Rainbow's mouth. "Hey!"

"No kisses until you eat that." I whisper to her before standing up. I unlock my phone and aim it at a wall ahead of us. "Alright, ready to see paradise?" I say with a smirk. Everyone gives a cheer and I open up the portal. Nobody has seen the completed cabin except for me. Of course, it hasn't been furnished at all. Right now it's just a glorified wooden box.

We all walk through the portal, and cheer once we feel the sand under our feet. It's a warm afternoon out in the Atlantic ocean, what could be better?

"It's beautiful out here!" Skyler says excitedly as she runs out to the water with her arms spread wide. While she does that, the three of us guys change into our swim suits. Skyler already has her's on, so she just has to take off her t-shirt and she's good to go. Rainbow doesn't need a swim suit obviously.

"Alex, get the nails, I'll get the net." He nods as he pulls out two large metal spikes from his bag. I grab some netting from my bag, and we head over to two trees on the beach. We nail the netting to the tree, and stand back to admire our work.

"Who's up for beach volleyball?" I say as I pull a ball out of Skyler's bag. Everyone rushes over, but I stick a foot out and stop Rainbow in her tracks. "Nope, not today mommy."

"Mommy? I- Oh, you're still worried about that? I can play Matt, I'm fine!"

"Even if you could, the teams would be uneven and-"

"I can keep score." Skyler says from behind us. "I think Rainbow deserves a break, let her play Matt, she can take care of herself. I think you forget that she is fully capable of doing so." I give a glance down at Rainbow and sigh.

"Fine, but if you start hurting at all, you stop. Got it?"

"Yeah! Okay, lets play!" She says excitedly as she starts to hover in the air. I don't want her flying at all, but I probably should lighten up. I might be a little too protective sometimes. Besides, she isn't the first pegasus mother right? They probably fly all the time, and I'm probably just being paranoid.

"Okay, here are the teams." I say as we all gather in a huddle. "I'll take Trevor, and then we'll beat the shit out of Rainbow and Alex." I say with a cocky smile as I high five Trevor. Why did I pick these teams you ask? Because what could be more fun than destroying your girlfriend and your best friend at volleyball?

"Oh, it is on. We get ball first." Alex says as they take their side of the net. Skyler stands to the side and gets in position to keep score.

"Alright, serve already!" I say as I stand in position to return the ball. Alex hits it up and over the net flawlessly. Trevor runs up and sets it up right in front of the net. I run up and spike the ball back over. Out of nowhere, a blue flash intercepts the ball, and it returns over the net.

"Hey, unfair! Why does she get to fly!?" Trevor says in a jokingly annoyed manner.

"Because I'm pregnant." She retorts as she sticks her tongue out. Oh, so NOW she'll admit she needs help. Well played rainbow horse, well played.

We spend the next hour or two playing volleyball with different team arrangements. Ever round, we switch out the scorekeeper so everybody has a chance to play. At about noon, we sit down in front of the cabin and being to dig into our lunches.

"So, do you guys know the gender of the baby yet?" Skyler asks as she takes a bite from her apple.

"Nope, and we don't want to either." I reply as I lay back and stare at the sky.

"Is it a pony or some weird human hybrid creature." Alex says. I sit up and give him a weird stare.

"Did you really just ask that? It's a pony dumbass." I say with a chuckle as I lay back down. Rainbow lays down next to me and watches the clouds float over us.

"How did you manage to get a pony pregnant Matt? I took biology, and science would call bullshit on that." Guess I gotta explain this again for like the fourth time.

"Long story short, genetics are similar, apparently compatible, got raped in the bathroom, shit happens man."

"Hey, I thought we agreed we wouldn't call that rape." Rainbow whispers harshly into my ear. I laugh and ruffle her hair which seems to calm her down. The five of us lay back on our blanket and watch the sky, pointing out different shapes in the clouds. I even spot one that looks oddly like Twilight, but no one else seems to be able to see it, not even Rainbow. They said it looked like a blob, but I know what I saw!

"This is exactly what we all needed, what with the stress of finals and all." Alex says as we being to clean up lunch. We call nod and mumble in agreement before heading back out towards the beach. We all wade into the water, even Rainbow, and start messing around like the bunch of carefree teenagers we are. Oddly enough, Rainbow is the oldest of us at nineteen, which seems to slip my mind, as well as hers, pretty much all the time. I really feel like I'm the older one in the relationship, and I act like it too. Guess it just goes to show that Rainbow's personality doesn't exactly match her age, and neither does mine.

"Alright, who wants to get buried?" I say as I pull out some plastic shovels. Everyone votes on burying Alex, and we get to work. We all dig a hole big enough for Alex to lay in, which takes half an hour even with all five of us digging. Alex lays down on his back in the hole, and we start to bury him alive. We all laugh and have a good time as we slowly watch him disappear under the white grains of sand. Thankfully, Rainbow has yet to complain about any cramps or kicks so far. Seems like we're in the clear for now. I guess this means I don't have to be so protective and strict about what she does or doesn't do.

Eventually night time comes, and it's time to set up camp. We plan to stay on the island until tomorrow morning, just to enjoy the nature around us to the fullest. We set up our four sleeping bags, and only four since Rainbow is small enough to sleep in mine with me. We set up some logs we found on the edge of the jungles, and sit on them as we create a large bonfire in the center. It takes a while since we forgot matches, but I'm able to start a fire using some flint I found. We pile in leaves and wood, and begin to warm ourselves around the fire. We all tell funny stories about stuff that has happened to us, and we have a blast!

"And then, get this, she tries to jump up on the bed, but instead she flew over it and, SMACK! Straight into the wall!" We all laugh as I recall a time when Rainbow made a complete fool of herself. She blushes and rubs the back of her head as we all laugh.

"What about the time I caught you dancing shirtless in the bathroom?" She says with a smirk. Everyone starts to laugh at me now. Alright, well played, well played. I probably deserved that.

We start singing campfire songs, and we almost get past midnight before we start to slowly drift off. We all start to yawn as we walk back to the sleeping bags. I leave the fire going for warmth since it is nowhere near anything flammable. It should go out on its own soon enough anyway. I snuggle up next to Rainbow in my sleeping bag, and we both hold each other as we slowly drift off to sleep.


I check my phone to see it is only five in the morning. Meh, I'm already awake, might at as well get myself going. I carefully slip out of my sleeping bag to find that my four friends are still sleeping. Good, I just hope they don't think I stranded them here. I take my headphones out of my pocket and check to see if my phone battery is still high enough. I kept it off all day yesterday to preserve the batter since it is the only way off the island. Still at ninety percent, that means I can spare the battery to run with some music. I plug in my headphones and play my favorite rock song as I begin taking a jog around the island. It isn't all that big, maybe a little under a mile to make it all the way around. I should be back in no time.

The sun is just starting to peak over the horizon, and it gives to most amazing setting to run in. Ten months ago, I never would have thought I would be able to do this. Honestly, if Rainbow never came into my life, I'd probably be alone at home right now playing video games in my parent's house. Man, she really has changed my life for the better. I practically owe her my life now.

Once I make it to the other side of the island, I stop to take a breather. I take a sip from my water bottle, and lean back against a tree. The wind blows through my hair, and the sweat on my skin feels cool as it evaporates. I check my phone to see it is about ten past five. Better get back to the camp. Can't afford for anyone to wake up without me there. I half jog, half sprint back to the camp, the music in my ears helping to pump adrenaline through my bloodstream. I finally feel truly alive for the first time in forever. My life was so boring before Rainbow's arrival, that I had forgotten there was still fun to be had in this world. She really has been an eye opener for me. I could never thank her enough.

"There you are." Trevor says with a smile as I make my way up to the camp. He's the only one awake, which is good since it means nobody else saw I was gone and panicked.

"Just went for a jog. What are you doing up so early?" I whisper, trying not to wake up the others.

"I wanted to see the sunrise. Good thing I woke up, this is not something you'd wanna miss dude." We both look out at the sun over the water. It truly is a sight to behold. We sit on by the dying embers of the fire for another hour or so before everyone else starts to wake up. Rainbow groggily stumbles over to me before falling on my lap and falling asleep again. Skyler makes an "Awwww" sound at the sight of it, and I just roll my eyes and smile at her. She knows Rainbow hates when people do that.

"Yesterday was amazing." Skyler says as we reignite the fire since it is still a little chilly in the morning air.

"Right? It was exactly what we all needed. The perfect remedy for stress." I say as I pet Rainbow's head and back. She sighs in contentment in her sleep, and it makes me quietly chuckle to myself. It really was a fun day.

Once the sun has risen, we pack up all of our stuff except for the volleyball net. We decided to leave it here in case we come back later. I open different portals for everyone that lead to their houses. Once the final person leaves with their belongings, I open a portal back to my house. Rainbow and I take one last look at the ocean before stepping back into the real world.

We drop our belongings off in the living room before heading back upstairs. While we have been awake for a while now, we're still both worn out from yesterday, so we decided we should get some shuteye. It's so nice knowing I don't have to go to school for another two and a half months. Yesterday was only the beginning of fun times to come. Rainbow and I crawl under the covers, and fall asleep wrapped around each other.

This is going to be one hell of a summer.
