My New Terrarian Adventure
Chapter 6
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow’s shorter self jumped off the cloud they were standing on and flew toward town with Rainbow in tow. The flight there wasn’t as enjoyable since they weren’t going as fast as their original flight, but the pace allowed Rainbow to observe the newer Ponyville bellow. Her previous memory of the town conflicted with the current town she was in now. Most places seemed the same but there were different names on certain shops and most of the shops seemed to stock different types of merchandise that Rainbow was unfamiliar with. Rainbow’s double went into a shallow dive and spread her wings to glide down and her larger counterpart did the same.
They landed outside a well-maintained two story house with a small flower garden under the front two symmetrical windows that appeared on both sides of the door. The whole house was painted a casual pink that Rainbow didn’t mind but would hate to live in after getting used to white clouds. The top floor had a wide window that looked over the street. Rainbow could see that the ceilings were white and thanked Celestia her other self wasn’t as fru-fru as Rarity and her princess bed.
Rainbow held open the door for her larger self. “After you.” she said.
“Don’t mind if I do.” replied Rainbow, smiling back at her.
Rainbow paused on the inside of the home, over the simplicity of it. The living room was on their direct left and filled with couches for company that may come over. To their direct right, was the small dining room with the kitchen attached that was separated by a wide arc that complimented the décor. And between the dining room and the living room, was the door that faces the stairs to the upstairs. The stairs themselves seemed a little too forward and she assumed there was another room under the stairs and upon a quick inspection she found was right. She could only assume the door at the top of the stairs was the bedroom.
Overall, the place was pretty nice and she would have no trouble living in it for a longer period of time. The coat hanger by the door was unoccupied by any attire until her double walked into the door and placed her blue hat on the top of the coat hanger and closed the door behind her.
“So, what do you want to do?” asked the larger Rainbow Dash.
“Uh, how about we spend the time getting to know each other, and tomorrow I’ll have you meet my friends after we check up on Twilight.” answered the better kept Dash.
“Sounds like a plan!” Rainbow trotted over to the living room and sat down on one of the closest couches.
Her pretty double also followed her over, but before she sat down she froze in place.
“What?”
“I forgot about Storm Chaser!” loudly exclaimed the pretty Rainbow.
“Who?” her larger double asked.
“He’s our coltfriend.” Rainbow replied simply.
“I DON’T HAVE A COLTFRIEND!”
“WHAT?!” yelled the smaller Rainbow in shock. “W-well you know.” she stuttered, but shortly after she regained control of herself. “You can share mine!” she suggested happily.
“NO! I fly solo!” Rainbow protested.
Rainbow put on a quizzical expression before grinning mischievously. “Oh, don’t be like that.”
“I’ll be like that.” Rainbow narrowed her eyes at her double.
“Oh come on, at least come meet him. You two might hit it off. He’s the captain of the Red Stars!”
“The who?”
“Oh come on! Does your universe seriously not have the Red Stars?” she asked skeptically.
“Nope.” responded Rainbow.
“Oh, well they’re the best fliers in all of Equestria! Storm Chaser is the captain. I’m sure you’ll like his dare devil attitude.” she teased.
“What about the Wonderbolts?” asked big Dash.
“The who?”
“New world… new source of entertainment. But same super fan Dash.”
“Shut up.”
“Fine, let’s go meet your coltfriend.” Rainbow gagged.
“Oh, stallions aren’t that bad.” she replied as she walked toward the door. She turned around with a concerned look on her face. “You’re not a fillyfooler are you?”
“NO!”
“Oh good. Let’s go!” she trotted over to the door and opened it while putting her blue hat back on.
Rainbow reluctantly followed her outside where she jogged giddily in place while watching her front door.
“Hey Rainbow, I think we found a universe where you’re a girl.”
“Yeah, I guess so-HEY I’M A GIRL!”
“Tell that to your mane.”
“Come on come on! He’s at the Prancing Pony, waiting for us!” she exclaimed.
Rainbow flew into the air to follow her now airborne double as she tried to go quickly to the get together spot. They flew painfully slow for the larger Rainbow’s tastes and they arrived late according to shorter Rainbow’s approximation. By the time they got there, they saw a blue coated stallion with yellow mane and wearing a red jumpsuit while he looked at his watch in confusion.
“I’M HERE!” Rainbow shouted.
He looked up and was about to call out before seeing the bigger Rainbow Dash. He raised an eyebrow in confusion while tilting his head when they landed in front of him.
“Hey honey.” started the short Rainbow and she trotted up to her coltfriend and kissed him on the lips pulling his view away from her double for a moment.
“Hey sweetie. Who’s this? Oh wait, is she your mom?!” He replied, panicking slightly.
“Uh no, we’re not that serious. This is a parallel me! She was given housing here in Ponyville by the Princess herself.” she stated like it wasn’t a weird concept.
“Uh, I don’t believe you?” He asked simply.
“Actually, what she said was true.” answered the larger Rainbow Dash, slowly deceasing in height.
“Whoa, trippy.” he said when Rainbow was at the same height of her double.
“Believe me? See same hair, voice, size, you name it.” deadpanned Terrarian Dash.
“I hope you love me as much as Rainbow does, because we are going to have some seriously awesome nights together.” he replied lightheartedly and laughed. Rainbow chuckled, but her transforming double scowled at Storm Chaser with a weaponized glare that made him flinch.
“I don’t like you.” she growled.
“Whoa, sorry about that. I guess I got carried away and said that without thinking.” he responded looking regretful.
“Don’t do it again.” Rainbow ordered sternly.
Storm Chaser lowered is head in sorrow and was side-hugged by his marefriend. They gave each other a loving look before pecking each other on the lips. Rainbow Dash gagged at the display and decided not to be associated with them, so she transformed back to her larger self.
“So, what do I call you? You’re Rainbow Dash, but you’re also not my Rainbow Dash, so what should we call you?” Storm Chaser asked.
“Big” stated Isis.
“What?”
“Big! You’re a bigger Rainbow Dash, so go by Big.”
“Uh, how about Big?”
“Big?” asked Storm Chaser and Rainbow Dash together.
“I like that. Easier.” said Rainbow Dash. “Ok Big. You want to join us for dinner?”
“Only if Storm’s paying.” answered Big with a mischievous smile.
“You bet!” he responded with enthusiasm.
Without saying another word, the group of three walked into the Prancing Pony and waited in line. Five groups were there in front of them. Some of the colts and fillies tried to get their parents attention when they saw Storm. Most of the ponies in the restaurant eventually caught sight of Storm and by that time, they were in the front of the line. The pony they were in front of was shaking with nerves when she saw Storm.
“Hey, I have a reservation for two, but I’d like to make that three. A friend will be joining us.” he asked politely.
“U-uh I’ll what I can do.” she trotted off, presumably looking for her boss.
Big took this moment to look around the restaurant and noticed most of the building was under mood lighting for couples. There was also a lot of chatter from family groups as they talked among themselves and some families that noticed Storm also talked about him and his marefriend. Though Big caught some conversation about who the other mare was, that didn’t comb her mane well.
“Um, miss.” started a stallion to Big’s right. She looked over to see a very well dressed stallion. “This is a formal restaurant and I'll have to ask you to leave and get better attire for this establishment.”
Storm Chaser decided to intervene. “Hey, she’s with us.” he intervened.
The stallion didn’t even flinch when he saw Storm. “Sorry, but those are the rules. We aren’t a simple pub for regular ponies.”
Rainbow looked around and noticed even the colts and fillies wore something on their heads or jackets on their bodies. She only now just felt how out of place she was. Rainbow nodded her head.
“Glad you can understa-”
“I got this.” Big replied and held out a hoof in front of her as her company and the manager watched.
Some ponies eyes wandered to the disturbance when the manager came out and watched intently as Big lifted her hoof. Then to their surprise Big’s hoof became encased in a green crystalline slipper and then repeated the process with the other hoof. Then a larger chunk of crystals formed on her chest and shaped itself around her body that made a chest-plate that then made grooves in itself to look like a blacksmith chiseled feathers into the design. Rainbow looked on in awe, as Big began looking less like a Pegasus and more like a soldier.
“This do?” asked Big when she was finished.
“Y-yes t-that w-will do… H-how?”
“I’m the goddess of the weather. I was sent here after a disturbance in the skies by my lord, to fix it. I’m only staying a few days and I’d prefer to spend that time with my daughter Rainbow Dash and her coltfriend.” Big replied, as if it wasn’t new or a weird thing to say.
“I-I don’t know what to believe, but I doubt you’re a weather goddess.” he stated unsure of himself.
Big responded by extending her right wing and forming a small thunder cloud next to her, that started sparking toward her wing. The manager looked in shock and bowed respectfully.
“F-forgive me my ignorance, your majesty. I-I wasn’t-”
Big put a hoof on his shoulder and he looked up to see her forgiving gaze. His nerves disappeared as Big used Puppet’s abilities to send the sensation of safety and forgiveness to his body.
“M-may I show you to a table.” he asked with a genuine smile.
“Is ours ready? I’d rather not intrude on anypony else's planned dinner.” replied Big with the approving gaze of Rainbow Dash and the loose jawed and awed expression of Storm.
“M-mom?” stuttered Storm.
Big snickered at his expression as the manager motioned them to follow him. The group of four followed the manager to a round table small enough to fit four ponies and sat them down, while placing menu’s in front of them. Rainbow didn’t open her menu because she already knew what she wanted. Storm looked through the menu really quick and picked out what he wanted, before he directed his attention at Big. Big was looking through her menu while ignoring the stares and occasional whispers of the other patrons in the restaurant.
“So umm...” Storm started awkwardly and drew Big’s attention. “You’re Rainbow’s mother?”
Big smiled at him. “No, that was an excuse to be with you two, without complicating things too much.”
“So, where exactly are you from? I know you’re Rainbow, but how much do you have to do with my Rainbow?” Storm asked.
“I was born in Cloudsdale and I went to flight school, where I broke a few school speed records. I was a really big Wonderbolt fan. Oh and I know there aren’t any Wonderbolts here but they were something similar to the Red Stars and they did stunts and stuff. I’ve been trying to be a part of them since then.”
“Really?” asked Storm Chaser. “You know, I could have you meet the team if you wanted.” he offered, trying to be friendly.
“Uh no.” responded Big. “I don’t really care for the Red Stars enough to waste my time meeting them. I’m here to make sure you’re safe.”
“Safe?” asked Rainbow.
“Well yeah! I’d rather that I approve of the stallion you’re dating too. You have my body, so if he uses you and I could have stopped it, it would be like letting myself down.”
“Hey I’m a grown mare like you, you know? I can take care of myself.” retorted Rainbow.
“Yeah, but I know celebrity types. Usually they just think they can do whatever they want and don’t have to deal with the consequences. Some actually think they can sleep with every mare in Equestria if they wanted. And I don’t want my body to become a plaything for one of those ponies.” Big narrowed her eyes at Storm.
“Hey! I love Rainbow Dash and I would NEVER use her like that.” Storm defended with honesty in his words.
“Good.” Big nodded. “But I’m watching you while I’m here.” Big looked back at her menu. “If you slip up even once, I’ll end you.” she threatened nonchalantly, while still looking at the menu.
“Oh… ok.” Storm responded uncomfortably.
“Hey Big?” started Rainbow and Big lowered the menu to look at her double. “Do you have a special somepony in your world? Oh, wait no you don’t. Um. Do you have anypony that was special to you? Or like somepony you were attached to?”
Big thought about it. “Um yeah, there was.” she looked a little down. “His name was Puppet Master and he was the king of the Red Rose Empire.”
“Is that a griffon nation?” asked Storm.
“No, a Terrarian one. He stood on two legs and had two arms. He looked like a hairless ape but he convinced me he had the heart of gold and we became great friends. He built a portal between Equestria and Terraria where he would come by every day, to get to know ponies. When he first came here, he caused a big panic.”
“Wow, what happened to him?” asked Rainbow. Storm was interested as well.
“Well, one day he asked me to work for him and give him information on anything strange in Ponyville. Basically, betray Celestia.” Rainbow looked uncomfortable and Storm seemed really interested.
“You sided with Celestia, didn’t you?” knowingly suggested Storm.
“No…” his jaw hit the floor and Rainbow went wide eyed. “He offered me friendship and power. But I did it because I knew that Celestia was also watching him, and he had no way to watch her so I was his go-to mare. Since we were friends, no one would question why we were meeting so often.”
“What happened after that?” Storm asked.
“One day, someone framed him for kidnapping Luna, while Luna was at his castle getting a tour, so he can prove he had nothing to hide from Luna and Celestia. An army hid in the clouds and I spotted it and went to make sure if I saw correctly. Fluttershy’s mother, Barricade, was there and she remembered me.” Big wiped a tear from her eye. “She said that it’s ok not to arrest me because I was loyal to Celestia and asked me to go home.”
“Whoa, what happened next?” Storm inquired eagerly. Rainbow looked interested, but downtrodden.
“I flew as hard as I could to his castle, to tell him about the army hiding in the clouds.”
“Wait wait wait, hold up. Barricade? Clouds? He must have been a serious threat if Celestia thought it a good idea to use the Pegasus Corps battalions.”
“Yea… Although Luna tried to have me arrested for treason, Puppet Master risked his diplomatic relationship with both princesses just to keep me safe.”
“Whoa. I guess he really was a good friend. You know what I think?” offered Storm.
“What?”
His eyes softened. “You chose the right side.”
Big smiled. “Yeah, I did didn’t I? Although after that, he did ask me to become a Terrarian. It’s why I have the ability to get bigger and smaller. He gave me that among other things.” Big stared off into space for a moment.
Storm raised an eyebrow but seemed to put something together in his mind. “Did you like him?”
“Yeah, I did.” Big answered without thinking too hard on it.
“No no, like, LIKE like him.”
“Oh no, I thought he’d be a great coltfriend, but the problem was I wasn’t attracted to different races. Although I was thinking about it because I’ve been hanging around Gilda a lot so dating different races wasn’t that much of a farfetched idea. I did ask Rarity to make me a dress based on his world that matched me, so he might think I was pretty. I planned on asking him out at the Gala even though I didn’t actually love him. I was hoping Cadence would be able to use a love spell on us.” Big whipped her hoof to her mouth after she realized what she admitted, with a look of fear and embarrassment.
“What’s wrong?” asked Rainbow.
“He heard me.” Rainbow deadpanned.
“You know, I was going to do the same thing at the Gala too.” Puppet Master stated.
“WHAT?!”
“Yeah. I thought you’d be the closest thing to the best girlfriend I’d ever have, so I thought I’d try to plan that.”
“I-I had no idea. Umm, I don’t really want to try going out with you anymore, though.”
“Understandable. I may find human Rainbow Dash’s that are more my speed later on.”
Rainbow looked at Big before speaking up. “Um, did you ever get that chance to tell him at the Gala or?”
“We never made it to the Gala. Equestria was attacked by the griffons, and I died in a battle.”
“Now I call foul play.” snorted Storm. “If you died, how are you here now?”
“Terrarians are able to… umm how do I put it?” Big put a hoof to her chin in thought. “Come back to life in the place they were born. I was born in Cloudsdale, but the problem was I’m Terrarian now, and I appeared in Terraria. If you killed me now, I think I’d end up in the same place.” Big looked back at Storm's unimpressed stare.
“I still don’t believe you.”
“Whatever.” Big rolled her eyes.
The waiter walked over to them. “Will you be ordering now?”
“Yes please.” replied Storm.
“Would you be interested in any of our specials?”
“No thank you.” responded Big.
“No.” stated Storm.
Rainbow opted to just shake her head.
“What’ll you have?” he asked Big while using his magic to hold up a quill and paper to write down the order.
“Get something with meat. I’d like to see if you can eat it, now that you’re Terrarian. If it doesn’t turn out well then I’ll hand you a health potion.
“I’d like a cooked fish on a lettuce bed from the griffon menu.” the whole restaurant went silent and suddenly everypony was staring at Big. “SERIOUSLY!? ARE YOU ALL LISTENING TO US?” Big shouted in anger. Everypony went back to whatever they were doing, but kept their ears swiveled to listen in, the restaurant was still noisy but not as noisy as it once was..
“Ma’am that’s for meat eaters only. You wouldn’t be able to eat it.” stated the waiter.
“What makes you think I’m not a meat eater?” Big asked the waiter.
“Um, you’re a pony aren’t you?” he replied, seeming unsure of himself.
“No, now write that down.” sternly ordered Big.
“Y-yes ma’am.” he scribbled something down. “And for you, miss?” he asked Rainbow.
She snapped out of her trance. “Oh, what? Oh yeah umm, tomato salad with a toping of cheese, please.”
“All right. Now what’ll you have sir?” he inquired as to Storm's order.
“I’ll have a salad wrap with tomato and onion, but hold the sauces, please.”
“Any drinks?” the waiter asked.
“I’ll take a salad smoothie.” replied Rainbow.
“I’ll have a Budweiser.” answered Storm Chaser.
“What?”
“I’ll have some water.” came Big's response.
“GET VODKA!”
“All right your drinks will be right-”
“Hold a sec.” interrupted Big. “I changed my mind, I’ll have Vodka.” Storm looked at her strangely.
“We have only one type, so the options are limited.” the waiter said nervously.
“I’ll take it.” stated Rainbow.
“Very well.” he scribbled something down on the slip of paper, rolled it up and put it in his uniform pocket. “I’ll take your menus.”
The waiter grabbed everyone’s menu with his magic and walked away into the kitchen to deliver the orders to the chef.
“Soooo... Vodka, huh? You looking to get wasted?” suggested Storm slyly.
“What?” asked an oblivious Big.
“Well, usually people buy Vodka to get wasted when they’re depressed or looking for a good time.” Rainbow clarified for her.
“Some stallions get mares to drink, so they’d make bad decisions and have sex with them.” Storm added.
“PUPPET MASTER!”
“Whoa whoa, I can explain!”
“YOU’D BETTER RIGHT NOW!”
“Ok you’re Terrarian now. I gave you ale before when I first arrived, and brought my own drinks to my party. That was alcohol and Vodka is just more concentrated alcohol. But Terrarians are strong enough to have its effects and not be visibly or mentally affected by them. That’s why when I drank some I didn’t get tipsy.”
“You just saved yourself from a beating.”
“Well I just wanted some. That a crime?” retorted Big.
“Oh, no it’s not it’s just strange.” stated Rainbow.
Storm looked at Big funny. “Did that Master guy tell you to get that?”
Big was momentarily without words. “Y-yeah, he did.”
“You think he might be trying to take advantage of you?” he asked.
“No he’s getting me to experiment with my body to see what I can and can’t do on every level he can think of. If ever I have to do something I’m not sure I can do like eat meat during a feast with the griffons, I need to know if it can do anything to keep me from making the right decisions or if it makes me sick.” responded Big.
“Wait, if he’s watching too, then does that mean he’s also judging me?” Storm asked.
“Yes, and so far… I really don’t know what he thinks of you. But I get the sense that he doesn’t care all that much. I think he believes that Rainbow isn’t me as long as I’m not her.” Rainbow explained weakly. “If that makes any sense.” she said sheepishly.
“Uh… Oh I get it.” replied Storm.
“I think I know what you mean.” chimed in Rainbow. “He thinks that since we aren’t similar, we can’t be the same person?” she says waiting for approval of her theory.
Storm explained. “Well no. I don’t think he believes you and Big are the same pony because of how different you are.”
“WRONG! You have no relation to Rainbow Dash and you only share the same body and have two different souls. Since your souls aren’t the same, or connected you aren’t the same pony.”
“Actually.” Big began. “He doesn’t believe we are the same pony because we have different souls. We can share the same body and personality, but I guess the soul is unique or something so you can never actually have another of one of those.”
“So basically...” Storm began. “No matter how similar you guys are you can’t be the same mare?”
“That sounds right.” confirmed big.
The waiter came out with three trays in his magic and walked over to Rainbow, Storm, and Big. He placed them down in front of them and Rainbow’s plate had a salad with cheese and tomato. Storm had the salad rolls he asked for and immediately began to dig in. However, Big’s plate was missing the cooked fish that she asked for.
“Hey, where’s my fish?” Big asked.
“Ma’am, you are a pony and ponies don’t eat meat.” the waiter reasoned. Another waiter came out with the drinks and Big was happy to know she at least got her Vodka.
“Rainbow drink the Vodka and confront him when you’re wasted.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to see what you’d do while impaired.”
Rainbow picked up the bottle before the waiter could pour it into a glass and started downing the whole thing.
“Ma’am!” The waiters shout drew the attention of the whole restaurant and everyone who knew what the bottle was became wide eyed and awed at her speed. Big finished the whole bottle and placed it on the table with an audible thud. Her grin was filled with malice and she looked into the waiter's eyes waiting for him to make the first move. “D-did you just… we need to get you to a hospital. NOW!” he tried to lift his hooves from the ground and noticed he they wouldn’t respond. When he looked down he saw his hooves were covered in a crystalline structure he couldn’t identify, before noticing the similarities between the green armor Big wore and the crystal at his feet. “D-did you do that?”
“Eeyup!” Big responded loudly in the quiet restaurant.
“I demand you to undo this!” the waiter protested.
“Say the magic word.” Big teased.
“UGH! Please undo this.” the waiter responded.
Big raised an eyebrow and put on a quizzical expression. “That has nothing to do with magic.” she started giggling at her own joke.
“Rainbow are you... intoxicated?” asked Rainbow to her larger double.
“Nope… uh I mean yes.” Big replied sheepishly. “Oh hey, that means I can go complain to the chef or something.”
Storm looked at her with worry on his face. “NO! No no no no! You’re intoxicated and you’d do things you wouldn’t do when you’re sober! Big don’t cause a scene.”
Big ignored him and pushed herself out of her seat and walked over to the kitchen, as heads turned to watch her go. The whole restaurant was quiet and you could hear worried whispering coming from other tables. Rainbow Dash remained seated with her coltfriend and they looked into each other’s eyes with worry. Then Rainbow felt something inside of her tell her to move and she got up.
“Where are you going?” asked Storm.
“To talk to Big.” responded Rainbow.
Rainbow walked over to the kitchen and now was the center of attention that replaced Big. She walked into the kitchen and nearly fumbled on her own hooves, when she saw Big arguing with a griffon cook.
“I ordered a cooked fish on a salad bed, and I didn’t get one!” shouted Big at the aggravated looking griffon.
“No! You’re a pony, and I’d be wasting my time to cook you a fish! Now get out of my kitchen before I force you out myself!” he retorted angrily.
“I want a fish on my plate and I’m not leaving until I have one!”
“Big!” shouted Rainbow and ran forward and wrapped her right forehoof around Big’s left one. “Come on, let’s get out of here. You’re making a scene.” Rainbow ordered, pulling at the unmovable giant Pegasus.
“No, not until I get my order.” Big retorted. “You call denying your customer an order fine dining?”
“No, I call it smart since you probably only ordered it for the salad given you’re a pony!” the griffon replied.
“No, I want that fish! And don’t ever compare me to a pony again!”
“Why not? You are one. Now get out of my kitchen!” he shouted angrily.
“Come on Big, let’s go.” suggested Rainbow with a sense of urgency and a hint of fear.
“No, I want my fish!” Big repeated.
“That’s it! I’m throwing you out!” exclaimed the griffon as he approached Big.
“I’d like to see you try!” Big retorted.
The griffon reached out a talon to grab Big and Big pushed Rainbow Dash away for her safety as she swatted the talon away. The griffon narrowed his eyes and pounced toward Big, but was instantly tackled himself and flung to the opposite wall behind him. He recovered quickly and had a look of surprise before he got serious. He approached Big menacingly while spreading out his talons so they were ready to cut flesh and Rainbow Dash backed up even farther, along with the staff currently in the kitchen.
In the blink of an eye they lounged at each other and started swinging their limbs around. The griffon was untrained and every swipe was meant to be a direct hit, and every time and Big easily dodged, blocked, and parried the swipe of his talons. Big then caught his right arm and twisted it around, so he’d be forced to lean forward and uppercut him with her right hoof, effectively ending the battle without a single scratch and flooring the griffon. Everypony in the kitchen was wide-eyed in shock from a pony making quick work of a griffon.
“Where are the fish?” Big ordered sternly to a cook who was closest.
He pointed to a refrigeration room and Big walked over to it and opened the door. She walked over to the iron door and opened it without trouble. Walking inside, while all the staff and Rainbow Dash watched her carefully as she chose an uncut tuna from a rack next to different assortments of cheeses and salads. She walked out of the cold storage with the large uncut tuna on her back that was two feet long and threw it on the nearest stove.
Big closed her eyes and set the fish up in a green flame that instantly cooked it on the inside and the out. She smiled happily as she picked it up under her wing and carried it out of the kitchen with a bewildered Rainbow Dash in tow. They walked over to their table while attracting the eyes of everyone there. Rainbow began to feel a little self-conscious when she sat down. Big however plopped the fish down on top of her salad bed and picked up the fork.
She was unaware of the bewildered faces of the ponies around her, but none more expressive than Storm Chaser's. She ignored the ‘Well, she got her fish.’ And the ‘Did she really need to make a scene?’ whispers from the tables around her. Big wouldn’t have any part of that and she crunched down on the head of the tuna effectively decapitating it with prejudice. She quickly started ripping chunks out of it like it was the only thing she had ever eaten in her life… but in all actuality...
“CELESTIA’S TITS! THIS STUFF IS GOOD!”
“Whoa, calm down you drunk mare.”
“SHUT UP PUPPET MASTER! I’M GOING TO EAT MY FOOD AND THEN KICK YOU OUT OF MY BODY TO DO THINGS TO YOU THAT ONLY A MARE CAN DO TO A STALLION!”
“All caps drunk much?”
“Ok, lied about that last part.”
“OK WHAT THE FUCK RAINBOW?!”
Big ignored the bewildered and disgusted looks the ponies were giving her, and ate the whole fish head eyes and all. When she was done she moved onto the salad bed on her plate.
“Seriously?” asked Storm Chaser as he barely made a dent in his food.
Rainbow Dash was taking it surprisingly well and ate her food without feeling uncomfortable. The rest of dinner was spent in relative silence, and a few questions about culture were passed around. Big found out that mares outnumbered stallions and it was normal for one stallion to have multiple wives. Storm Chaser should have had more than one mare by now, but he chose to only be with Rainbow Dash instead of allowing himself to be shared with a herd. They were soon done and parted ways.
No tip was left.
