As soon as you entered the familiar location that was Rainbow's house, you let out an audible yawn. After the long flight to Canterlot and back, you were about ready to pass out.

The cloud house was cloaked in the darkness of night, yet the multicoloured carpets and portraits still managed to brighten it up.
Back on Earth, a house that had entirely white walls, ceilings and floors would usually be considered pretty bland and boring, but in this world, it just gave off positive vibes.

Tank was already fast asleep in the corner, further strengthening your desire to go to sleep yourself. Speaking of which, where do you sleep?

"Um... Rainbow?" you asked, trying not to be too loud in order to not wake up Tank from his slumber.

"Yeah?" she replied, already heading towards the staircase. She must've been feeling a natural impulse to head to bed too, which was understandable.

"Where do I sleep?" you asked, thinking it to be a genuine question. Rainbow stared at you, before a slight smirk formed on her face. It almost looked like she was fighting off laughter.

"You know the only reason I'm not laughing at you right now is because Tank is asleep, right?" she mocked, still smirking at you.

Honestly, you weren't sure what was so funny.

"Did I do something?" you asked, feeling a little self conscious. It would've been really bad if you had messed up already. The two of you had only been dating for, what? 15 minutes?

"You sleep with me, duh!" Rainbow exclaimed, gesturing up the stairs with a nod. Immediately, you felt your heart beginning to race, "C'mon!"

No questions asked, you followed her up the stairs and into her room. You hadn't really seen her room in person before, and it looked just as awesome as it did in the show.

"Ok, I like this room." you said, looking around at all the vibrant colours.

"Pretty awesome, right?" Rainbow replied, grabbing the multicoloured bed sheet with her mouth and pulling it back in order to get into bed.
You had never thought of using your mouth to move the bed sheet. Normally, you just used your hoofs, and that came with difficulty despite its strange 'magnetic' ability.

Rainbow flew above her bed before dropping into it, and honestly it looked like she had practiced her landing many times before.

"I'm actually able to sleep next to you?" you asked, still in a state of disbelief. Living in what was once merely a fictional world was one thing, but this was on another level.

"Yeah! Did you not do this on Earth or something?" Rainbow asked, starting to get a little worried that she was approaching this the wrong way, "Sorry, I'm kinda new to this. Relationships and alternate universes."

"No, no, we did do this. It's just that once... You weren't even real, but now..." you said, feeling yourself about to begin zoning out again.
Thankfully, Rainbow stepped in before you could get too lost in thought.

"I guess it must be weird. But I promise you, Storm... This is real," Rainbow reassured you. Hearing it come from her was enough to convince you, "Now come and get into bed! It's really late!"

Not wasting anymore time, you leapt into bed and pulled the covers over you. Rainbow did the same, and reached over to turn off the light.
The room was now almost pitch black, with only the moonlight shining in through the cloud house's open windows.

While the two of you were in the same bed, you weren't exactly lying close to each other. You both lay on opposite ends of the bed, facing outwards.
It didn't bother you all that much. Simply being this close to her made you happier than ever.

"Goodnight, Rainbow." you whispered, closing your eyes.

"Night, Storm." Rainbow replied, causing a smile to grow onto your face.

Ten minutes passed, but sleep never came. You weren't sure why, as a few moments ago sleep had seemed like that most welcoming thing in existence.

Suddenly, the silence of the room was broken by Rainbow shuffling around slowly. Whether she was asleep or not, she was almost moving in a way that made it seem like it was intentional. Almost as if she didn't want you to hear it.

You didn't move, and instead lay still, staring at the wall in front of you. Rainbow still continued moving, and at this point it felt as if she was moving towards you.

Without warning, a hoof wrapped around you and pulled you tightly, followed by something warm nuzzling up against you. Her multicoloured mane brushed up against you, and it was very comforting.
Almost comforting enough to keep you awake.

Things stayed like this for a while, and you were almost hoping that she was simply doing this in her sleep. Remaining as still as you could, you tried feigning sleep.

After 30 or so seconds passed, she began to move again, now pushing he nuzzle up against your own. You had to admit, it felt nice. She was so close to you now that you could almost smell her, as strange as that seemed.
She had this strangely familiar scent of... colours and spices. How colours had a smell, you weren't sure, but it seemed so familiar to you.

You moved your head a little more so that you were looking directly into her eyes. Or, you would have been if her eyes were open. You were beginning to think that she was genuinely asleep, but something was off.
She was smiling.

Before you could even process the fact that she was awake, she shuffled forward even more, pushing her lips against yours. Your eyes widened in shock.
You weren't expecting this to happen so quickly.

You almost wanted to say something, but you could feel yourself melting into the kiss. Your own eyes closed as you began to reciprocate.

Instinctively, Rainbow continued to shuffle in your direction, despite already being as close as she possibly could. It was now at the point where she was moving on top of you

"Are you... ok with this?" Rainbow asked, breaking the kiss, and now practically sat on top of you.

"Why wouldn't I be?" you asked.

"Just checking..." she replied, rubbing the back of her head nervously. Naturally, that nervousness faded as she moved down to kiss you again.

Your own hoofs wrapped around her, stroking her multicoloured mane as the two of you kissed.

This continued for another few minutes, and you could honestly say that it was the best few minutes you had ever experienced.
But then something else happened.

You felt your... thing touch her, and quite honestly you didn't even know that it still existed. The question had never occurred to you about how ponies repoduce. Even now, you were still wondering why it was invisible. You weren't exactly complaining though, as it would've been incredibly uncomfortable If it was visible.

Upon contact, Rainbow broke the kiss once again, and gave you the most suggestive smirk you had ever seen. Despite her obvious eagerness, you felt yourself questioning the morality of the situation.

"Rainbow... Are you sure about this?" you asked, worriedly. If this was anything like Earth, then this could go wrong in many, many ways.

"Oh, I'm sure..." she replied, smirking. She seemed incredibly into this, and despite your worries, you kinda liked that.

"Ok..." you said, repeating the situation one more time in your head, "Let's do it."

Rainbow squinted her eyes mischievously before slowly lowering herself downwards. Instantly, she let out a pained moan, that almost seemed uncomfortable.

You felt yourself want to stop, but she was quick to change your mind.

"N-no! Don't stop..." she whispered, closing her eyes as if she was in a lot of pain. But then again, she wouldn't be telling you to carry on if it hurt that much, right?

Following her instructions, you began moving back and forth into her. Her head lowered down, pushing her jaw into you as if trying to suppress herself.

"Mmm... f-fuck..." she moaned quietly, keeping her eyes shut as her head lay on your chest. Already, you could feel yourself reaching your limit. This strangely felt a lot different than on Earth, and clearly you weren't used to it.

Just as you were about to finish, a wave of thoughts overcame you in an instant, making you reconsider.

This wasn't right. It hadn't even been a day, and you were already doing this. You had agreed to it, and sure you both seemed to enjoy it, but in the end...
Was it too soon?

At the last minute, you stopped.

"Huh?" Rainbow said, her eyes shooting open, "Why'd you stop?"

She seemed a little irritated by your sudden change of heart, but then again, wouldn't anypony?

"Don't you think it's too soon?" you asked, seeming to spark some thought within her. At first, you didn't get a response from her. She simply stared at the floor out of the corner of her eye, thinking.

"Sorry." she said quietly, in an almost defeated manner.

"Hey, it's ok. You enjoyed it, right?" you asked, attempting to cheer her up.

"Well yeah, but... Did you?" Rainbow asked, a look of worry on her face. Did she even need to ask? That was something that was, once upon a time, simply impossible. Yet here you were experiencing it.

"Yeah, it was amazing! But I just don't understand how-" you were about to ask a question, but Rainbow seemingly knew what you were going to say.

"Yeah, yeah! I'll get Twilight to give you a lesson in that." she joked, seeming to be a little happier after you admitted to your own enjoyment. She moved off of you, and rolled back into bed, this time facing you.

"Please don't." you replied, dreading the thought of it. You rolled over so that you were facing her, still close enough that you could feel her body giving off heat.

"I'm only messing with you." she said with a smirk, before letting out a loud yawn, "Wanna go to sleep now? For real this time?"

At this point, you were even more tired than you had been previously, thanks to your... actions.

"Sure, I'm really tired." you replied, letting out your own yawn, "Night, Rainbow."

"Night, Storm." she replied, giving you the most sincere smile you had ever seen from her. Before you could fall sleep, you could feel her snuggle up to you, followed by a wave of happiness washing over you.

As you felt your self on the brink of sleep, held in the embrace of Rainbow Dash, you couldn't help but feel excited for the future.

After all, nopony knows what it has in store.

Author's Notes:

I've never really wrote anything like this before, but I feel like it turned out ok. I know I said there would only be one of these, but since this one was so short I think I might include another one at some point.

We're nearing the point where the 'slice of life' stops taking priority over the story, if that makes any sense. There will still be a lot of slice of life, but after the next few chapters I intend to reveal the villain. Of course, 'slice of life' is a lot of what this story is about, so the majority of chapters will still be about that, but expect a lot more regarding the dream entity from previous chapters and determination magic.
