Where to today Miss Jefferson? Mr. Walls asks as he opens the door for you and Rainbow.

What have I told you about calling me that? Rainbow muttered, she tipped his hat up as she entered the limo.

At least three dozen times Miss Jefferson. Good morning sir. He smiles at you and motions for you to enter the limo. You smile back whilst climbing in.

I assume we are going to the mall Miss Jefferson?

Actually... She crawls over you and whispers something into his ear. He raises an eyebrow at her before shutting the door. She moves and sits across from you, and she folds her hands in her lap as a smile slowly creeps onto her face.

Sorry dumbo, we arent actually going to an amusement park Uh Alrighty.

Okay.

You dont care? she says, frowning at you.

Well I trust you Dashie, so Im sure wherever were going will be great. You smile at her, and it seems you caught her off guard. 321 And blush. This is getting way to easy.

I-what-you- Huh? What do you mean you trust me? Oops Makeshift response

I trust you because youre my little sister Remember?

Oh shut up. I know you have stronger feelings for me than just that

The rolls switch; Rainbow takes on the smile, and you put on the frown.

What would make you think that?

Well for starters you kissed me last night. Never gonna let that go are ya

It was in the heat of the moment. You just looked so you take a moment to search for the right word to make her feel uncomfortable,

Angelic, plus you were too close for comfort at the time, plus Im a teenager You know, my hormones are all out of whack you rub the back of your neck and avert your gaze to look out the window.

Whatever helps you sleep at night So you really dont want to know where were going?

What was that? you turn and look at her, and she slams the palm of her hand to her forehead.

Oh my god Do you want to know where were going? You yawn and nonchalantly wave your hand in her direction.

Well it sure sounds like you want to tell me, but a few moments ago it seemed like you wanted it to be a surprise she frowns and her face scrunches inwards in concentration. Eventually she sighs and looks out the window opposite to the one you were looking out of, and an awkward silence ensues. A few minutes later, just as youre dozing off due to the tranquility of the limo, she finally breaks the silence.

Maybe I could just-

Just tell me Rainbow you throw a smile her way and notice that she has the same goofy smile that you had seen just about a million times. You look out the window again, expecting to hear her tell you where you were going. Instead, you feel the seat sink a little, and a pair of warm appendages wrap around your right arm.

Rainbow What did I say about touching?

Are you gay or something? You have to be the only guy in history that doesnt want a girl to touch him Let alone Rainbow Dash Jefferson! You look into her eyes and notice that they have a playful glint.

Why yes I am Rainbow Dash. I tried to tell you earlier, but you just wouldnt have it.

Oh is that so? Well if thats the case I guess Im going to have to set you on the STRAIGHT path! she nudges you with her head, and you take your free hand and mess up her hair, which causes her to grunt and let go of you to fix it.

You are hopeless Dashie

Well Im 99.99% positive that you have a little crush on me, so why dont you just admit it already? This way I can tell Mr. Walls to just turn around and we can just walk around campus?

Sorry Dashie, but I suppose Im the .01%, because I do not have a crush on you. I hope my lying skills have improved

Suit yourself. Im only trying to help you out here dumbo You resist the urge to look into her eyes again by looking out the window again.

You were sitting at what appeared to be a stoplight, and the car next to you was filled with girls who looked to be a few years older than you. You look over at Dashie who was still preoccupied with fixing her hair, which required her to mess it up in the perfect way so it looks like I just got out of bed, and you smile at her as you nod your head in the direction of the vehicle next to you.

Dont you dare.

New rule! You cant interfere when I talk to other girls. She opens her mouth to protest, but you roll down the window and wave at the only girl looking out her window. Her facial expression goes from a confused smile, to a wide grin as she gives you a small wave, and then she turns around and says something to the other girls who all turn and look at you at the same time. You give them all a small little wave, and one of them rolls down their window, and you are nearly knocked back by the sudden wave of music that hits you. The cute brunette you had first waved to turns the music down and rests her head on her arm, which was laid flat where the window would be.

Hi!

Hi. You know youre really cute- your sentence gets cut off by Rainbow putting you into a headlock and pulling you back. She lets go of you and you cough, she taps on the glass divider separating you from Mr. Walls, and your window rolls up. You feel the limo go back into motion and you let your anger get the better of you.

What the fuck Rainbow!

Stop being such a fucking jerk! You smile at her and rub the upper part of your arm, all previous anger dissipating into the air around you.

Im sorry Dashie, its just I dont know how to convey my feelings for such a beautiful girl like you, so I resort to flirting with other girls to make you jealous. You say in a teasing voice, even though what you had just said was completely true.

I do not get jealous! Wow, I changed that from me looking like the bad guy to... whatever this is in like... ten seconds flat.

Your crimson face says otherwise you grin at her and she crosses her arms and sits down next to you on the floor.

Why do you have to be such a jerk?

Why do you have to have a crush on a jerk?

I do no-

Trust me, youd be better off not liking me you bring your legs up and wrap your arms around them, placing your head on them and facing Rainbow.

Why?

Theres a lot you dont know about me Rainbow

Like?

Things that you wont ever get to know about me

Oh, so not only is the new kid a nice loving good doer, but he also has a mysterious past? You make a silly face at her and cross your arms, trying your hardest to match her body language. She leans forward and whispers into your ear;

Thats extremely sexy. She leans back with a grin on her face, and you sigh at her feeble attempt to try and embarrass you.

That was pathetic Dashie. You say as you sit up, flattening your legs on the ground.

Aw it didnt work?

Of course it didnt, that was stupid.

Well what about this? she crawls onto your legs, sits down, and wraps her arms around your neck.

What are you- she kisses you on the cheek, and then slowly backs up with a huge devious smile on her lips.

That sure made you blush Gah! You shake your head and wrap your arms around her, and she blushes.

Oh, so youre getting a little bolder with your crush, eh?

No.

Sure seems like it. Go on, continue what you were doing. I hate you Dashie.

You slowly lean forward, and Rainbow closes her eyes and starts to lean forward too. The second she loosens her grip around your neck you gently push her back and stand up.

Aw, youre no fun dumbo she says, looking up at you with puppy dog eyes.

You know Dashie, you are probably one of the most adorable girls Ive ever met. Something flashes in her eyes and she tilts her head to the side.

Really?

Nope.

God youre a jerk

You didnt let me finish! You are THE most adorable girl Ive ever met. Come on Blush You know you are going to

I-You-why-how- GAH! she lets her shoulders drop and she looks at the floor of the limo.

You make me so angry sometimes, and then other times you make me feel I dont even know how I feel right now! her face looks like one of pure confusion mixed with a slanted smile, and you smile at how ridiculous she looked.

Alright fine, forget about the no touching me rule Her expression finally makes up its mind with pure confusion as you say that, and she looks at you quizzically.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Want me to take it back?

No no, never mind! she sits down next to you again, leaning on you and closing her eyes.

Wake me up when we get there

Sure thing Dashie. She yawns and you wrap an arm around her, and you feel a slight warmth grace your cheeks. You curse yourself for letting your old personality shine through at times like this.

Rainbow?

Hmm?

Were here you smile and use your free hand to pat her head.

Oh shut up she yawns again as leans into you more, and you scoot away a bit.

Stop moving away! She looked visibly annoyed, and she leans on you again.

Why dont you just lay down and NOT put all of your weight on me?

Is that a fat joke? Heh

Take it however you want Dashie. you say in a teasing sing song voice, which causes her to pinch your arm.

Jerk.

Seriously though, go lay down over there. You point at the seat opposite to you, and she yawns obnoxiously loud. She does in fact lie down, but instead of across from you, she lays down next to you with her head in your lap.

Deal with it. You sigh and poke her stomach, making her squirm.

Hey! Stop that. You squish her face together with your hands and she squirms some more.

Whats that Dashie? You want to get up and sleep over there? you grin at her as you release your grip on her, and she sticks her tongue out at you and closes her eyes.

Just shut up and wake me up when we get there

You brush the few strands of hair still left on her face off, and she smiles.

Dont say anything youll regret saying Dashie

I guess having you treat me like a little sister isnt so bad it has its advantages she yawns and gets off of you, making her way to the other side of the limo and laying down.

There, happy now? Wake me when we get there she yawns and retracts her arms into her shirt, and from what you can see she seems to wrap her arms around her abdomen. Does she try and be adorable?!

You silently make your way over to her on all fours, and sit down with your back propped up against the seat in front of her, feeling the familiar brotherly instinct to protect her take over.

You clear your throat and start to pull out your phone, but instead two arms wrap around your neck and Dash scoots up to you. She doesnt say anything, so you dont either. You assume the back of your head is against her chest, mainly because you can hear her heartbeat, and secondly because whatever was against the back of your head was extremely squishy. Her breathing starts to slow down, and about a minute later you feel the grip around your neck loosen.

You consider getting up and moving back to the opposite seat, but something holds you back and you end up relaxing and closing your eyes.

Plan of action Get Dash to hate me So far so bad

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christ its cold

You slowly sit up from your slouching position, and the first thing you notice is that you werent wearing your sweatshirt. You yawn as you rub your hands against your arms trying to get warm. When you open your eyes Rainbow is casually looking out the window listening to music, wearing your sweatshirt. How the hell did she get it off of me?

The next thing you notice is that the air conditioning is on, accompanied by the soft pitter patter of rain on the roof of the vehicle. Your brain slowly starts to recall memories from earlier in the day, and you remember that it was already cold outside, plus Rainbow had been wearing her own hoodie earlier.

Rainbow, how did you get my sweatshirt?

She doesnt move, so you assume that she cant hear you because of her music. You move over to the divider and tap on it, and it opens just a bit and you hear some soft classical music.

May I be of service?

Hi. Could you turn off the cooling and maybe turn up the heating?

Why of course. Anything else?

No that is- you stop yourself midsentence as a thought pops into your head.

Actually there are a couple of things

Dont be afraid. What else do you want?

Uh How long have you been Rainbows driver? you sit down on the seat and get comfortable, because you had quite a few questions for the driver.

Well first things first young sir, you see Im not her driver per say, Im technically her fathers driver, but he lets her use me whenever she wants.

So you hear him sigh and suddenly a small vent above your head starts letting out warm air instead of cool.

So how long Ive been driving HER around? I guess she started fully using me when she was about Eleven or so years old?

Um H-how God, I feel like Fluttershy right now. Come on just say it

Get it out boy, its not like Miss Jefferson can hear you.

R-right. How many guys has Dash made you drive around with her?

Mr. Walls erupts into laughter, and you start to panic as you think that the car is going to crash, or even worse, that Rainbow will ask the driver why he was laughing. You then realize that the car is at a standstill, and you glance out the window Rainbow was preoccupied with to see that you were stuck in what appeared to be bumper to bumper traffic. It takes a few moments for the driver to recollect himself, but when he does his voice seems to have lost its gentlemen like tone.

And why would you want to know that? Got a thing for Mr. Jeffersons little girl?

Im just asking from an academical point of vi- you say, feeling your cheeks heat up.

Just stop young sir. That was a rhetorical question that I already knew the answer to. But I must say, you do hide your feelings quite superbly. His voice regains its tone you had grown accustomed to, and you look over at Rainbow, who was now tapping her leg and slightly bobbing her head.

I want to say five other guys, but then again thats just when I stopped counting.

You look over at him to see him grinning at you, and you shake your head and look away.

Really? Thats great.

Oh relax young sir, Im only joking with you. Im pretty sure only one other guy, but Miss Jefferson didnt really seem to like him. That was the beginning of last year.

You feel some weight lift off your shoulders and you smile.

Oh, okay. I I think thats all, thanks for the help.

No probl- but you cut him off as something springs into your head at the last second.

Wait! Where are we going, and why are we stuck in traffic? he smiles and adjusts his drivers hat.

Well wheres the fun in telling you where youre going? It wouldnt be a surprise. Were stuck in traffic because Well were on the highway and theres been an accident up ahead.

How far up ahead?

Oh I dont know Twenty miles?

TWENTY MILES?!?! you cover your mouth as you realize the tone of voice you had taken up.

Yes, twenty miles. He closes the divider before you can respond.

You slide down the seat over to Rainbow, and are literally inches away from her; she still doesnt notice you. You poke her in the face and she slowly turns to face you, her eyes making her look half awake. She pops her left earphone out and looks back out the window.

Hey.

Hi.

She yawns and sits back against the seat, still looking out the window. You realize that ever since you had gotten here it had rained at least once a week.

Hey Rainbow, does it always rain this frequently? she closes her eyes and slouches down the seat.

No it doesnt usually rain a lot, but you know, I like it. Ive always loved rain Actually, Ive always loved all precipitation.

Even blizzards?

She smiles and scoots toward you, resting her head on your shoulder.

Even blizzards.

Even though one almost killed you?

Yea, it surprised me that I still liked the snow after what had happened, but she seems to cut herself off mid sentence, and you poke her in her side, which makes her squirm.

Go on Dashie, you just kind of stopped talking.

I know she mumbles, and then she shakes her head and continues.

But every time it snows it reminds me of you. How clich

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Its a very good thing. She presses against your side a little more, and you scoot away just a tad.

You know the last guy who was in this limo with me couldnt keep his hands off of me, and you are the exact opposite. Was she really faking obliviousness

You were listening?

Of course I was listening, how could I not? she moves back away from you, and props herself up against the window and grins at you.

So why were you asking Mr. Walls about my love life?

Could I have my sweatshirt back?

Dont avoid my question!

More importantly, how did you get it off me in the first place?

She grunts in frustration and pulls your sweatshirt off.

Thanks Dashie.

You can have it back once you answer my question.

What was your question again?

YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE! she throws your sweatshirt at you and you grin in return.

How about you tell me who it was first, and then Ill tell you why.

How about no.

Well then it seems were at a stalemate then, arent we Jeffie?

Dont call me that.

Arent we Dashie?

Yes we are.

An awkward silence slowly creeps into the limo, and you find yourself fiddling with your phone as Rainbow looks out the window. Might as well ask her

Rainbow?

Huh? she looks over at you and scratches her head.

Be straightforward with me here, do you like me?

She grins, but you keep your serious expression on and she adopts one of her own.

Yes I do.

Why?

Well for one you saved my li-

Have you ever thought that you only like me because I saved your life?

No, that is only one of the reasons! she looks visibly ticked off as she replies to you.

Think long and hard Rainbow; if I had never saved your life and I was just a childhood friend, would you still feel the same way about me? Do you think your father would be giving me special treatment right now?

She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out, and you avert your gaze to the car that was at a standstill next to you.

Like I thought

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe I broke her

You smile as you watch Rainbows facial expressions. Ever since you had asked her if everything would be different if you hadnt saved her life she had been sitting there thinking, or what you assumed to be thinking, with a multitude of pathetic expressions gracing her face. At first her face looked like one of pure thought, then one of curiosity, then a mixture of confusion and anger, followed by plenty of others after, all equally unique, well at least for Rainbow. Right now she just looked plain goofy, her head looked like it was about to fall off her left shoulder, her tongue popped over the right side of her top lip, with her face all scrunched in, which gave her the appearance of a sad dog trying to figure out how to get a treat out from underneath the sofa.

Yea, Im pretty sure I broke her.

Hey Rainbow, you okay? I didnt break you did I? you wave your hand in the general area she was staring at, and she shakes her head and looks at you.

No no, Im just thinking about what you said

Oh really? I thought you were pondering about how some people can see the stars come out when the sun is still setting you say in the most sarcastic tone you could muster.

Yea sure she says, sounding as if she hadnt heard a single word you had said.

You pull out your phone to let her continue thinking. You look at your messages to find two from Rarity, and one from Twilight, and you decide on ignoring Raritys messages, but to look at Twilights.

Hey, thanks for getting me that date with Phillip Sorry about flipping out on you. Phillip is really sweet, and he showed up at my dorm today just to give me a rose and tell me he is excited for tomorrow I accidently told him that tomorrow it would be only him and I because you had something else to do Sorry about that!

Cool. Looks like I have a lazy day tomorrow.

You look out the window again, because there is only so much you can do in a car when youre bored, and you roll down the window and stick your head out. You shake your head around to get it wet, then retract it and start messing with it.

Never thought I would get so bored that I would play with my hair

You know I almost completely forgot about you. Huh?

You look over to Rainbow who was sitting politely with her hands in her lap, smiling sadly at you.

Actually Im lying. I dont think I would have ever truly forgotten you, but I forgot your name and face a long time ago All I remembered before my father showed me your file was that you were my childhood friend and saved my life during a blizzard.

A few strands of her hair fall into her face, and she tries to blow it away, but it only causes more hair to fall. She frowns in frustration and she quickly fixes it by pulling out a hair clip. You smile at how cute her new haircut was; it was still long in length, but it looked a lot neater, and she had let her part of her bangs grow out. She had been taking a black hairclip and clipping her bangs in place a few inches above her forehead for the past week or so, and every time you would see her readjust her hair you would make a comment and say it was beautiful the way it was.

About a year after the blizzard incident my father had tried to how would you say it shape me into a proper lady? I had to learn how to balance a book on my head and walk, to know which fork was the salad fork, when I was allowed to speak, you know, stuff that you would expect Rarity to know all about.

You unexpectedly start into a chuckling fit as you try and imagine the Rainbow Dash you knew in a dress wearing makeup and curtseying, and she shoots you a glare. You recollect yourself and bring a hand up to your mouth, literally wiping the grin off of your face and put on a more collected smile.

Anyway Once I got into middle school I didnt want to be like that anymore, and when I tried to tell father he would just tell me that I was speaking nonsense and I would continue to be his perfect little girl. She puts on a sideways frown as she starts to twiddle her thumbs.

So I got angry with him and I slowly started doing less and less of my work Eventually he took notice and started scolding me for it, and I told him I would stop if he would stop making me wear dresses and being anything but myself. He agreed of course, but its hard to just pick up everything and start up just like you were before, and I just never really put effort into school after that

I see

Freshman year I wanted to change all of that again, become a B honor roll student-

Only B honor roll?

Shut up, Im not an over achiever! she throws one of her shoes at you, completely breaking the serious atmosphere she had built up.

Oh fine, continue Dashie

As I was saying Uh I wanted to change become a B honor roll student Oh yea! I wanted to make friends! I had Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, but Fluttershy got sent away somewhere in the middle of middle school, so that left me with a total of one friend. I tried making friends, but it was a lot harder than it looked...

Been there, done that

About a month into freshman year I started noticing guys looking at me funny, and when I finally asked one of them why they were looking at me like that he said something that sounded remarkably stupid about my body, and I beat the snot out of him. After that I stopped getting those stares, and I actually made some friends with all kinds of guys from the sports teams. She smiles and taps her fingers on her knee.

Probably remembering beating that kid up Haha, I could definitely see her doing that.

Anyways, thats just a little about me, since well you dont really know anything about its up to you if youre willing to hear me babble a little longer

She looks over at you, and you quickly lean your head against the back of the seat and close your eyes, taking on the appearance that you were sleeping. Something hits you in the chest and you look down to see another shoe lying in your lap.

Oh, thats cool, thanks Dashie.

Were you even paying attention to me!? she asks, her hair seeming to raise a little bit off of her shoulders as she sits up a little.

Of course I was, you should know that I take pride in messing with you by now you toss her shoes over to her on the ground.

Go on. You give her a little thumbs up and she grunts at you.

You are such a dork

Aw, thanks for the compliment honey!

Where was I Oh, how it comes to you. Every day I would try and remember what you looked like, or how you acted, but every single time I did I would always lose a small detail about you It was like you were slowly slipping away and it was killing me inside In all honesty when I started to forget you I started to slack in school she gives you an awkward smile and you notice that her cheeks are glowing a faint red.

The week dad told me you were coming to Red Thrush was the week I almost completely forgot about you When I would try and think of you, I would get a dark silhouette against an already dark background, so you were just a black blob. He didnt show me a picture of you, but he showed me your file and when I saw your grades I wasnt all that surprised. He told me you would be coming the Monday after the day you actually came, so you caught me completely off guard when you bumped into me and told me where you were rooming She smiles at you as she started to put her shoes back on, and you look out the window.

I was going to get Rarity to help me gussy up so I could surprise you, but I guess it all worked out in the end because you didnt even recognize me after I told you my name. I was going to start getting better at school and all that stuff on my own to well to impress you, but when I met you again I realized pretty fast that you didnt care about any of that stuff, so I just let that idea drop completely.

So you were going to change yourself for someone you hadnt seen in what six or seven years?

Yea I kind of had a crush on you ever since I met you, even before you saved my life Why did you think I was so annoying, up to the point where you couldnt stand me anymore so you ditched me?

She looks anywhere but you, and you cant help but smile at how cute she looked after finally confessing. You imagined something along the lines of her finally saying she had a thing for you, and then punching you in the face; you were wrong.

Rainbow, you know absolutely nothing about me. For all you know I could have been that a lonely geek who hated social interaction, especially with girls. And what do you know, That was exactly who I was.

Rainbow springs up and plops down on the seat next to you, her feet almost touching the roof of the car.

Well if you were like that, that doesnt mean you couldnt have changed, or even that I wouldn't accept your old you. I dont care WHO you were, I care about you, and you period. She punches you lightly in the shoulder, and you cant help but throw an arm around her and hug her.

Oh, did I say something right?

I suppose you could say that.

So how about we forget all about our childhoods and we pretend that we only met each other because were roommates? Would that work for you?

Huh? What do you mean would that work for you? you say, retracting your arm from her shoulder.

Would you be willing to get over your whole mindset that I only like you because you saved my life? She pokes you in the chest, where your heart would be, and you poke her in the face.

Alright then Dashie, how about this We head straight home now, and then we forget all about our childhood memories of each other, and we start fresh after the weekend?

She pouts and uncrosses her arms.

Why after the weekend?

You get up and tap on the divider.

May I help you with something?

Hey Mr. Walls, looks like were turning around. Sorry about making you drive all the way here

Its no problem, Id rather get going back now instead of going back in more traffic later

You sit down next to Rainbow and put one of your earphones back in.

Because on Monday I have that stupid auction thing I have to go to, and I want to see how far youre willing to go to get to know me. Oh, plus the double date tomorrow isnt happening, because Twilight decided she wanted to just go with Phillip. You wink at her and put your other headphone back in. You feel her make her way up against your side and rest her head on your shoulder, and you hear her faintly say;

Youre on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW. This chapter took FOREEEEVVVEEEER, mainly due to the fact that I thought that an amusement park in Vermont wouldn't be very... believable.

Oh, the majority of this writing was done in about two days, out of the... 4 weeks I could have been doing it? I hope that angers you.

OH, and if you don't really like this chapter, sorry. I kind of rushed through it because I felt bad for not updating in forever, plus I didn't know where to take 'you' and Dashie, and... I didn't feel like writing the Double Date.

SO THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE AUCTION. (Not contract binding)

Next Chapter: Waking in someone else's arms. (Auction 1/2) Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 36 Minutes
