Alex froze in place as he heard his mum's car stop. Rainbow Dash could only give Alex a questioning look.

"What's wrong Alex?" She asked.

"I...I forgot the time, I didnt expect my mum to come home already." He replied. Alex began running towards the stairs. "Come on, She cant see you!"

Rainbow Dash was about to ask why, but she stopped herself from doing so and decided to do what he wanted her to do and ran upstairs.

As they ran up the stairs they could hear a car door being closed. Alex and Rainbow quickly sprinted towards his room.

"Alright,um...hide under the bed until I tell you to come out, and dont make a sound." Rainbow Dash then crawled under the bed. Alex closed the door to the room and ran back downstairs to greet his mum. She always became upset if there was nobody to greet her when she came back from work.

As Alex leaped towards the door he could hear his mother trying to find the key in her bag. Alex opened the door before she could find it.

"Hey mum!" Alex said with an exhausted voice.

"Oh, hello there sweetheart. Thanks for opening the door, I can't seem to find my key." His mum said, once again trying to find her key.

"As so often..." Alex grinned at her mother but she was too busy searching her bag for the key. After what seemed like 10 minutes she finally found it.

"Ah, here it is, finally. I knew it was in there!"

"Wanna come inside now or wait until next week?" Alex interrupted his mother who now realised that she was still standing outside.

"Oh, uh yes of course." She then walked past Alex who then closed the door behind her.

She took off her shoes and jacket and then walked into the kitchen.

"Have you eaten yet?" She asked as she arrived in the kitchen, Alex following right behind her.

"Yeah, I have. A few minutes ago actually." Alex replied.

His Mum opened the fridge as she asked "And what did you eat?"

"Oh, I just ate some apples." Alex simply replied to his mum.

His mum turned her head and looked at him with a surprised look. "Apples? You rather eat apples than all the chocolate,peanut butter and..."

Alex interrupted her. "Yes mum, I ate some apples, no big deal alright? I thought you'd like it when I eat something healthy for once..." Alex gave her mum a smirk.

"Of course I do! I just...didnt expect it, thats all."

Alex giggled as he turned around to go upstairs into his room. He could hear his mum huming back in the kitchen as he ran back upstairs into his room.

As he opened the door, he could hear Rainbow Dash trying to hold her breath as to not make any noise. He walked over to his bed and looked under it to see Rainbow Dash who was trying to hold her breath as much as she could.

Alex giggled and calmed her down. "Its ok Rainbow, its me." The next thing he could hear was Rainbow Dash gasping for air.

"I said you should be quiet, not to die by doing so." He said as Rainbow Dash slowly crawled out from under the bed. He could swear that he heard a little grumbling as she got up.

"I didnt know it was you, alright?" Rainbow Dash said to him, followed by yet another grumble.

"Hey, its alright. I know you just tried to be as silent as possible." He put his arm around Rainbow who then put on a smile.

"So...you promised me we'd watch some TV after eating..." Rainbow Dash said as she was looking at Alex with little puppy eyes.

"Yeah yeah, you're right." With that Alex stood up, grabbed the remote and turned on the TV once more.

Alex took his desk chair and sat down on it to watch. A few seconds later he found Rainbow Dash sitting down on his legs.

"Hey Alex..." Rainbow Dash looked up to Alex.

"Yeah?" Alex looked down at her.

"Thanks...for everything..." Rainbow Dash smiled at him which made Alex put on a smile as well.

"Hey, it's alright. I can't just leave you outside all by yourself, right?" Alex asked rethorically.

Rainbow Dash once again smiled and then turned back around to face the TV.
