I could not believe what in the name of hell just happened. I looked down and touched my new wings. They seemed to be  crackling with electricity and when I touched the tip of the wing, I drew back my finger from cutting it.

"How did this happen?", I asked Twilight.

"I-I don't know..."

I then remembered that the beam of light had bounced off my dogtags, and struck my laptop...when it was paused in the video. That really explains a lot, but should I be concerned over this? I mean, I just got some nice wings and all, but these can be really dangerous to anyponies' safety.

"So...uh...do you like them?"

I looked back at Twilight, who looked afraid of what I was going to say.

"I-I don't know what to say...no one has ever gotten me a gift like this..."

As I said this, I felt a tear roll down my eye. Even if these wings were an accident, I never felt better in my life knowing that someone cared for me.

"Thank you Rainbow Dash.", I said with a smile. She looked like she could burst into tears from my comment, but found this to be a sign of weakness from the rather overly cool mare. She quickly wiped the emotion off her face and trotted over to me.

"So, now that you have your wings, do you wanna go see Cloudsdale?"

I looked down at her warmly.

"I thought you would never ask."

Then, Rainbow Dash seemed to get an idea. She then spread her wings apart and took a racing stance.

"Hey, you wanna race to my house? Even with you're new wings, I bet you couldn't beat the fastest flier in Equestria!"

"I'm afraid I might just take that title."

She smiled at me evilly as she took her stance, as did I. I felt some heat coming from my back, as I realized the wings' propulsion comes from the same jetpack that MG Wing Zero Gundam uses. I felt more and more heat as the dust from the ground started to rise up. The deep whining noise was heard from the exhaust of the jetpack. I concentrated on the direction that Rainbow Dash had pointed to in the distance. The whining noise began to attract the attention of the ponies in Ponyville. Many of them looked over to see what the commotion was. After seeing my massive wings, and the dust rising up, many of them bolted for their doors, while others took cover and decided to watch.

"Alright, slowpoke, I'm counting down."

"Start it up Rainbow Dash."

"5, 4, 3..."

Right when the cyan mare hit "3", she immediately bolted into the air, leaving me behind in a trail of rainbow colors.

"DAMNIT, YOU CHEATED!"

Then, I put full thrust onto the jetpack. I was launched forward with unbelievable speed. My wings spread, and I found myself going so fast, everything seemed to be a blur. I pulled off a few barrel rolls to avoid flying into a few masses of clouds and a crossed-eyed mare who wasn't looking where she was going. I then saw a small blue silhouette in the distance. I trained my eyes on it, but then, a small device came out of a panel in my wings, and hovered over my eye. I then looked into the small device, and all sorts of symbols appeared. I then saw a cross-hair move over Rainbow Dash, who was in the distance. It then hovered over her silhouette and zoomed in. I could now see a better picture of Rainbow Dash. Then, another smaller cross-hair moved over the previous cross-hair that was already placed on her shape. Then, as the smaller croos-hair moved over the bigger cross-hair. the previous one turned red, and a beeping noise was heard. I didn't understand what it meant, until I looked down and found some text that said: LOCK ON ACQUIRED. I immediately opened my eyes wide to what it meant and began to speak frantically to stop it.

"Oh god, cancel lock! CANCEL LOCK!"

Immediately, the cross-hair disappeared, and I sighed with relief. So, I had a personal dogfighting system in these wings. Damnit, I don't want to end anymore lives then the ones I've ended in Afghanistan, and now I got a sure-fire method to do just that. I then concentrated at the matter at hand and I pushed forward. More and more power was put onto the jetpack. Suddenly, I found Rainbow Dash about to land on what appeared to be a large house in the sky. Right when I saw here touch down, I knew that I had lost the race. Then, I realized that I was coming in too fast. I tried to turn, but my wings were still stuck in the same position.

"OH SHIT!"

My wings then wrapped around me, forming a sort of shell. I could see nothing on the inside of it, but I felt myself crash into something. Right as I was sure I had stopped, my wings unfolded, and I found myself in a house that seemed to be completely made out of cotton. No, clouds. I stood up, and my MG Wing Zero Gundam wings quickly folded up and retracted into my back. I then took note of the huge whole that I had caused in the wall. Rainbow Dash then poked her head trough it, and she stared wide-eyed at me. I stood there for a while before realizing what I had done.

"Oh, god, I'm incredibly sorry for what I did. It must cost a fortune to repair a hole like that."

Rainbow Dash just smiled at me and took to the air.

"Wow, you really are not familiar to Cloudsdale, are you?"

No shit.

Rainbow Dash exited out of the hole and came back tugging a large cloud behind her. She placed the large cloud over the hole and, I heard some tapping outside, then Rainbow Dash appeared inside the house and began bucking the cloud into place. I stared in amazement as the cloud perfectly mended over the hole I had busted in the wall. I then took a look around me, and found the ENTIRE house was formed out of clouds, and I was standing on them. I looked down and nearly fainted.

"I cannot tell you how many laws of science we are breaking at the minute. I'm kind of expecting the space-time continuum to tear itself apart at all of these broke laws."

Rainbow Dash turned around and looked at me with a little concern.

"Is that bad?"

"No, it's just a joke Rainbow Dash."

She smiled at me before telling me something.

"I think you left your stuff back on the ground."

Face palm.

"Ugh, I'll be right back"

My wings grew out again, and I found myself hurtling down towards Ponyville once again. Only this time, I heard a banging noise. I turned my head, and found the sonic cone forming around me. I then turned my head once more, and found myself about to crash into the streets of Ponyville. I quickly pulled up, and I zoomed across the streets, sending quite a few Equestrians flying from the speed I was preforming. I pulled up, and I found myself at Twilight's house again. I quickly bolted in, grabbed my stuff, and apologized to the wide-eyed Twilight about the sudden burst-in. I quickly exited as I stored my belongings into different compartments built into my wings. I took off once more, and arrived back at Rainbow Dash's house. Only that time, as I didn't go so fast, I caught a glimpse of Cloudsdale. It was magnificent. A whole city that looked like heaven was resting in the sky. Trails of rainbows that seemed to be taking on the form of water were trailing down the city everywhere. I then concentrated. I don't want to be seen with these wings that are capable of destroying this entire city within seconds. I quickly and stealthily headed back to Rainbow Dash's house and set my stuff down. I began to take everything out and examine them. I unpacked my backpack, took off my Kevlar and set down my M4A1. Rainbow Dash looked with interest and began to watch me unpack my stuff. I looked over to her, and she asked what all of this stuff was. I told her we would get to that later as I began to make a mental list of the things I had.

Combat Equipment: M4A1 with 5 spare ammo clips (two are in the backpack), M9 Handgun, KA-BAR knife, three M67 frag grenade, two flashbangs, one HE grenade, kevlar body armor, helmet, combat fatigues, and, of course, my wings.

Other stuff after looking around in duffle bag: Laptop, ipod touch, sketch journal, a wooden Bokken sword (For kendo), some changes of cloths, and a picture of me and my fellow comrades having a blast throwing mud clumps at each other, pencel, pen, eraser, a few board games, and all sorts of other things.

I took out my laptop and check the internet connectivity. Sure enough, all of the bars were filled. Rainbow Dash trotted over to me.

"Hey, you gonna put on another song? That last one was great!"

"Uh, no, I'm gonna put on a movie."

Rainbow Dash lit up with excitement.

"What are you gonna watch?", she asked with excitement.

"Actually, I thought that I could also show you what movies on Earth are like.", I said with a smile.

I began to go through a mental list of what I should show Rainbow Dash.

Horror? Naw, she probably wouldn't survive the horror I'm into.

Adventure? Meh, I've seen quite enough.

Sci-fi? She probably wouldn't get the concept.

Romance? OH FUCK NO. She would probably get the wrong idea about me. And looking at her tapping her hoof impatiently on the floor, she probably wouldn't enjoy that too.

Historical? I'm mostly into war history, and that sometimes gets a little graphic.

Action? Eh...best hope I have.

"So, what are we watching?", she asked with interest.

I cycled down o the Netflix list until I came down onto a movie that some marines told me were okay in ratings.

"We're gonna watch a movie called 'Battle Ship"

Rainbow Dash perked up with excitement.

"Wow! That sounds cool!"

"Yeah, and it also gives you a good look at another branch of the military, The Navy."

"Wait, you said your were a Mariner...or something like that."

"Marine, Rainbow Dash. There is a large difference. As a Marine, I fight on the ground, the Navy fights in the ocean."

"That's what they do?"

"In a nutshell."

I smiled with hope as the download had completed after a few minutes. I noticed rainbow Dash sitting on a couch with a table pulled in front. I walked over to the table, and set the laptop down. I hit play, and the movie started. She was a little confused at the first part, as she asked why would a person go through all of that trouble to get a girl a chicken burrito, what was a chicken burrito even, and what was happening with the transmission to anther planet. After a few more minutes of the movie, I saw Rainbow Dash getting a little afraid of the Aliens that had entrapped the fleet inside a forcefield. We kept watching through until the aliens had boarded one of the destroyers, and the crew was going around armed with M4A1 assault rifles.

"Hey! That's the same thing you have!", Rainbow Dash pointed in amazement at the familiar guns that the crew was putting to use.

"Sure is Dashie."

Rainbow Dash looked at me a little funny at the new name I had just said to her. She smiled and scooted up towards me a little bit and smiled at me warmly. We continued to watch the movie for some time. I absolutely loved the part when the cannon blew off one of the alien's heads.

"Boom, headshot."

Rainbow Dash looked at me a little funny.

"Did it die?"

"Yeah."

She looked a little afraid now, but she kept watching with interest. We finally got to the end when the fleet commander rejected a marriage proposal towards his daughter. I never laughed so hard in my life, and Rainbow Dash got the humor and chuckled her head off, once in a while letting out a snort in between the giggles. We laughed even harder when the fleet commander said he was in the mood for a chicken burrito. After the credits began to roll, I shut down the movie and looked at Rainbow Dash with a smile.

"Did you like it?"

"Liked it? I LOVED IT! That was so awesome! I hope we could watch some other movies sometime..."

We found ourselves staring into each others eyes. We continued to stare for a little while before Rainbow Dash broke the stare and kissed me on the cheek. I was completely caught off guard by this. Did she really like me this way? I continued to stare at her with a smile before looking at the time on the computer.

"What was that for?", I asked regarding the kiss on the cheek.

"Rainbow Dash was beginning to blush madly on her cheeks.

"Well, if you didn't like it...", she whispered looking concerned she had done something wrong.

"It's okay. To be honest, I think you're pretty cute too."

Rainbow Dash blushed at the compliment once again.

"Oh come on.", she said while tapping me on my chest with her hoof,"You don't mean that."

"Of course I do."

She smiled at me again as I looked at the time again. Damn it was late.

"I think I should turn in."

Rainbow Dash looked a little disappointed.

"Well, if you're tired."

"I can take the couch."

Rainbow Dash smiled at me.

"Okay, that sounds good. Good night Ben."

"Good night Rainbow Dash."

I walked over to a sofa, and found it completely white, as if it were a cloud.

"Jesus, I wonder what Rainbow Dash would do if she spilled something on this.", I smiled.

I took some blankets that Rainbow Dash loaned to me and pulled myself over the couch. Dragging the increadibly plush blanket over myself, I adjusted myself to a comfortable position.

"Night Ben.", I heard the familiar voice call out.

"Night."
