I woke up. My eyes stung from the sunlight. I looked to my side and saw Rainbow Dash, fast asleep in a chair. She seemed to be... sleep talking? I leaned in closer and heard her practically describe her dreams out to me. To say they were bad would be an understatement. They were downright naughty.

When she was done I tried to hold in the laughter that consumed me as well as the wingboner I had. Jeez, Dashie was a horny pony. I shook her awake and soon her eyelids flew open, revealing those signature magenta eyes that I came to love and adore so much.

      “Humawhat?”

      “Morning Rainbow.”

      “Oh. I’m still here. You know you just woke me up from the best dream ever.”

      “Oh I don’t think I missed one bit of it.”

I then proceeded to follow every single one of Rainbow’s words and replay the audial gold that I had just heard from the sleeping beauty herself. I noticed Dash’s face getting redder and redder with every word.

Rainbow flew up on top of my bed and poised a hoof up high, ready to strike.

      “I swear if you dare tell anypony else-”

      “Don’t worry Dashie. Your dirty little secret’s safe with me.”

Dash flew down from my bed and landed on the floor. She checked the clock and gave me one last kiss.

      “The doctor’s gonna come in any second so I’m gonna have to-”

      “Dash?”

      “You know I hate puns!”

Rainbow Dash opened the windows and flew out. I watched her as she left a rainbow trail behind her. I had gotten over it quite quickly, how I was in a new universe and all. As long as I was with her, I was okay with everything.

I waited as the doctor entered the room. He held something in his hooves. It was small black and shiny. It looked distinctly familiar, the doctor placed his clipboard on the table and walked over to my bed.

      “Well, you’re fine for now. We managed to heal your burns and a couple of cuts and bruises. We’re checking you out by this afternoon.”

      “Thanks.”

      “By the way, I believe this belongs to you.”

He held out his hoof, showing me the small black object. It was a Samsung Galaxy. My phone. I grabbed it and stared at it, surprisingly, it was in mint condition. It was touch screen so, no hoof problems.

      “It was found near the wreckage. We assumed it was your’s.”

I scrolled through my music playlist and managed to create a playlist that I was content with I placed the device beside my bed. The music was soft enough so that only I could hear it. Soon I was bobbing my head while music played.

The doctor grabbed what he needed and left the room. Minutes later I heard screams of agony come from a room nearby. And in seconds, and I mean SECONDS the doctor is back, his white coat soaked in blood. I stared at him, my mouth agape. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

      “What?”

I shook my head and just ignored him. I focused on the music as the thought of freedom circled my mind.

      An hour later...

I was walking through the receptionist counter with the doctor by my side. He was giving me a lecture about my wings. He said that they were a little banged up but it was okay to fly. Just not very fast.

I thanked him and exited the hospital. I breathed in the fresh air that flowed around me. I immediately scanned the clouds in search of Rainbow. I spotted her rainbow tail hanging from the edge of a cloud. I fluttered my wings which seemed pretty weird at first, then I got the hang of it. I hovered in mid-air, trying to learn how to fly. I learned eventually and targeted the cloud like I was a heat-seeking missile.

I crashed into cloud, well, not my whole body. Only my head poked through the white shape. Rainbow was taking a nap just inches away from me. I managed to wiggle myself free and hover up to the cloud with her. She looked peaceful, sleeping on the cloud.

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. How do clouds feel like? I laid back and rested myself on the cloud. It was like resting on a big pile of cotton. In other words, very, very comfy. I didn’t fall asleep though. I sat up and watched the citizens below, going about their daily lives.

I was tempted to wake Rainbow up so that we could spend some more time catching up. I was about to turn when suddenly I felt somebody push me off the cloud. I managed to grab the edge of the fluffy mass and hung there, my heartbeat was as rapid as a machine gun.

I looked up to see Rainbow Dash laughing, clutching her sides. I stared at her with horror. What kind of a girlfriend pushes you off a cloud?

      “Mind giving me a hoof?”

      “Naw.”

I grumbled and flew up the cloud. Rainbow Dash was just wiping a tear from her eye.

     “The hell was that for?!”

     “Remember Nitrocide?”

     “That was almost two years ago!”

     “Love you too Slips.”

I rolled my eyes. My mind still not getting over the fact that Rainbow Dash had tried to MURDER me. She noticed my bad mood and gave me a light punch on the shoulder.

     “Cheer up! It was just a joke.”

     “Except I almost died.”

     “Fine. Look hows about you and I go get ourselves some grub?”

     “Sounds good.”

Rainbow Dash flew off the cloud and I followed. She kept pointing at various shops and telling me why she liked them so much. Eventually she stopped at a cafe. I didn’t pay the sign or the name any attention. I found a table for two and the both of us sat down. I browsed around and decided to order some hay fries. Not sure how they were gonna taste but whatever.

Rainbow Dash scanned the menu and I saw her eyes light up. The waiter came soon enough and took our orders. I had no idea what Rainbow ordered since she just pointed at something on the menu. The waiter took a look and scribbled something down on a piece of paper with his magic.

Moments later, a basket of fried hay arrived. I took a sniff and eyed the dish.

      “Go on Slips. Don’t be picky.”

I bit a mouthful and chewed. It was crispy like fries and even had the same taste. I was surprised by this I decided not to think of it too much and just eat.

Shortly afterwards Dash’s order came. Guess what? She had ordered a bowl of rainbow ice cream. Yup, you heard me, rainbow ice cream.

Dash took a spoonful and shoved it in her mouth. Judging from her expression it must’ve been really, really good. I picked up a spoon and was about to have some myself until Dash placed a hoof on mine and pushed it away.

      “Aww C’mon.”

      “Well, if you wanted it you should’ve ordered it yourself.”

I watched as Dash continued devouring her chilled dessert. What a pampered pony, having ice cream for lunch.

Dash was too absorbed in her ice cream so I took a spoon and managed to sneak a spoonful of the desert into my mouth. As soon as it did I closed my eyes and felt an explosion of flavors go off in my mouth. It was extraordinary. Human ice cream was nothing compared to this.

I opened my eyes and saw Dash giving me an annoyed look.

      “What?”

      “You have ice cream on your face. My ice cream to be exact.”

      “About that...”

Dash leaned forward and licked the delicious chilled dairy of me. I felt her smooth tongue maneuver it’s way around my face and lick up the rainbow liquid. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Soon we were finished with our foods. We chatted for a bit and basically caught up. As we talked I spotted AJ in the distance. She seemed to have a distant look in her eyes. As if she wished she had somepony to call her own.

      “What’s up with AJ?”

Rainbow turned around just in time as AJ turned to leave.

      “Well, according to everypony else, AJ disappeared about a week after I did. Where she went nopony knows. And she doesn’t seem like she’s gonna tell us anytime soon.”

      “About that, how did you end up on earth anyways?”

      “Well, while I was flying in the sky, Twilight misfired one of her spells and it hit me. She wanted to try a new teleportation spell.”

      “Hmm, makes sense.”

      “Kinda. How she missed, beats me.”

      “Hey, since I just came here like yesterday, I’m gonna need a place to stay.”

      “Well my place duh.”

      “Um... thanks, but where exactly is your place?”

She pointed behind me. I looked behind and saw a huge flying cloud mansion. Streams of rainbows poured out of it.

      “You live there?”

      “Yup.”

I felt awestruck by the home. It was huge! Much larger than most homes I’ve seen on earth.

       “How did you manage to live in that huge mansion all by yourself?”

       “I dunno. But that’s about to change.”
