Forgotten
Chapter 7
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNow this should be the part where I tell you that I either went home to Twilight’s or got another hotel room, the thing is that I am currently standing in that dream world of darkness. I guess I must have fallen asleep at the lake at some point during my mental debating. I mean wow, I kissed Rainbow Dash and I didn't even feel bad. I mean kissing Pinkie was alright but it oddly didn't feel right.
I guess I can spent this subconscious conscious state to think over what I am going to do now that Rainbow and I are pretty much together. I mean we are together right? Kissing means she likes me and she even went as far as to suggest I live with her again, so yeah, I’m over thinking this again. Rainbow is, well she’s great. I let out a happy sigh as I think of her for a little.
She really is great. I passively lick my lips as I can still catch her sweet taste even in my dreams. I mean she seems to care about me a whole lot, enough to beat her own friends up. Which I don't like and we may need to talk about that later.
“Well you look happy Anon.” I turn to see Luna was walking up to me.
I could feel a large grin on my face, even more so when I remembered what Celestia asked me to do. “I’m feeling alot better now, Lulu.”
Her eyes go wide. “No.” I start chuckling. “You didn't.” I gave a nod as Luna burst into laughter. While rolling on the floor she tries to talk through her fits of laughter. “You actually called her Tia!” I gave her a simple nod as she rose to her hooves. “No one has called her that name in centuries!”
“I wonder why? It’s a very nice name, she seemed to not like it though.” I say really unsure as to why she didn't want me to call her by that name.
“Something before your time Anon, don't worry about it.” Luna smile at me. “So what has you in a good mood this night?”
My face shifts a little too sad as I think of the other girls but as soon as I think of Rainbow I feel myself grinning.
“Remember that talk you suggest I have with the others?” She gives a nod. “Well, it kinda didn't end well.”
“Why would that make you feel happy?” Luna asks confused.
“It's not what happened then, but what happened after.” I clear my throat. “I guess long story short. Rainbow and I are dating.”
Luna’s face shifts to sadness. “Th-that is good to hear anon.”
“Is everything alright Luna?” I ask with concern.
“Y-yes, everything is fine Anon. I must go to other dreams now.” She quickly adds.
She outstretched her wings. “Wait!” I yell out, she stops in her tracks. “Celestia wants me to visit Canterlot in a few days. I will see you then, right?”
“We’ll see.” Is all she says as she takes to the sky.
I was left in my darkness. I wonder if she’s alright, I didn't say anything to upset her did I? I just decide to brush it off, she was probably just going to help someone's bad dream. Then again her tone was rather odd. I let out a sigh, I need to stop thinking about all this. I finally just let my mind wander to the one thing that has currently made me happy, Rainbow Dash.
“What are y’all doin’ sleeping out here?” I groan a bit as the sunlight hits my eyes.
“Five more minutes.” I say as I roll over.
“Anon did you sleep out here all night?”
‘That accent, it can only be.’ I open my eyes to see Applejack standing next to me.
“I guess I did.” I say as I look around. I sit up and stretch a bit with a yawn. I look over to Applejack as she just shifts uncomfortably. “Can I help you with something?”
She jumps out of her stupor. “W-wha? N-no.” She clears her throat. “Actually Anon. I just wanted to say I’m sorry.”
“I think you already said that before.” I say in a serious tone.
“No, I mean.. I am truly sorry Anon.” She sounded serious.
“Well, that’s good then.” I stand up and start to walk away.
“Wait!” I feel my pant leg get snagged. I turn around to see she has them in her teeth. “Aren't you going to accept my apology?!” She slurs past my pants.
“No.” I say in a flat tone.
She spit out my pants. “Why?!”
“I just can't forgive you yet.” I try to walk away but find I am being held back again.
“I ain't letting you leave till yuh accept my apology!” She sounded angry, but the way she was acting was not making me feel any different.
“I can accept that you apologized but I am -not- forgiving you. If you keep this up you are only giving me a reason to hate you.” I say with finality to each of my words.
She dropped my pants with a look of shock. “H-hate?” I give a nod. “W-why? I-I‘m just trying to do the right thing?!”
“The right thing to do is hold me against my will until I forgive you?” I deadpan.
She turns her face away from me. “I-I’m sorry.”
“That’s fine.” I try to walk away but find her blocking my path.
“Why do you have to be such a idiot!” She screams with anger.
“Who’re you calling a idiot!” I look up to the sky and see a cyan blur shooting towards us. This cannot end well. It slams with enough force to throw up dust as Rainbow now stood between Applejack and I.
“What’s it any of -your- business!” Applejack yells.
“It’s -my- business what anymore says to my coltfriend!” Rainbow retorts.
Applejack’s emotions rapidly shift from anger, to sadness then back to anger again.
“W-well fine then!” Applejack walks away with a huff.
Rainbow stood in a defensive position between Applejack and I as she slowly walked off towards her farm. Once Applejack had left her sights she immediately took me into an embrace.
“Are you alright big guy?” She asks worried. I give a simple nod. “What did she want? Why are you still here?”
I take a couple deep breaths to calm my nerves a bit. “I fell asleep here, Applejack woke me up, she wanted to apologize for the cutie mark thing, and I acknowledged that she apologized but I didn't feel like forgiving her just yet.” I let out a sigh. “She wouldn’t let me leave till I forgave her, no matter how many times I told her I wouldn't.”
Rainbow tightened her grip on me while I returned the gesture.
“It’s alright big guy.” She says in a reassuring tone.
I look up to the sky. “Is this going to be normal with all of them?” I ask to no one in particular.
“Applejack is just hard headed. The others should be easier to talk to.” She pulls away from me and punches my arm lightly. “If they try anything funny I’ll put them in their place.”
“I really hope that doesn't happen. I mean they’re your friends Rainbow.”
“Don’t worry big guy, it’s just how mares act. We need to defend our stallions.” She says in a serious tone.
I let out a sigh as I look to the sky. “I have some time till I have to work.”
“How about we go to breakfast!” Rainbow offer excitedly.
I look down to myself and see I was kinda dirty. “As much as I would love to do that. I think we need to stop at Twilight’s first, I need to get my clothes.” I shake my head. “I don't think I can live there anymore.”
Rainbow patted me on the back. “It’s alright big guy. Let's go.”
I gave her a nod as we walk off towards town.
There I stood frozen before Twilight’s home. Why can't these things be easy? I was broken from my thoughts when a cyan hoof rested on my shoulder.
“I’m right here with you big guy.”
I take a deep breath and place a few knocks on the door.
“Coming!”
Rainbow and I wait as the sounds of hooves hitting the floor come slowly towards us. Once the door opens Twilight just looks to me then to Rainbow.
“H-hi.” She says.
I scratch the back of my neck, how am I going to do this? “Hi Twilight, I just came over to pick up my clothes.”
She took a few steps back. “W-w-why would you want to take your clothes?”
I look away from her, that look she was giving me was making my heart ache. “I-I think it would be for the best.” I let slip past my lips.
Before I could even react there was a pop of magic, my clothes were thrown into my face and the door slammed shut. The sounds of Twilight crying and running away could clearly be heard. I bang my head onto the door. ‘Shit’ I think to myself.
“Come on. Let’s go.” Rainbow urges me while I just look blankly off into the door.
I gather my clothes as I walk off towards the hotel.
I pay for a weeks service and walk into my new room. I place my clothes down as Rainbow just relaxes on the bed. I gather some of my clothing and walk over to the shower, quickly washing and dressing up. I look at a clock sitting on a table, It was around 6am or so. I just roll onto the bed next to Rainbow Dash.
“This is going to be a long day.” I say with a sigh.
“I know it looks bad now big guy, but just give it time.” She says in her sweet voice.
I look over to her as she moves forward towards me. Our lips meet for a quick, but loving, kiss. I let out a sigh of relief, Rainbow made me feel better. Yet I still have a feeling that things were only going to go downhill from here.
“Let’s go get something to eat.” Rainbow offers. I gave a nod as we both got up and walk out the door,
Rainbow and I took our seats at a nice little restaurant. What I found interesting is that there were no chairs but large pillows for ponies to sit on, now that made a lot more sense then the chairs I have been using and them standing. I really can't explain why, so what's the point of thinking about it. Anyways the point is that Rainbow and I sat at a table that was located outside. It was a nice and cool morning so it was fine.
Rainbow was nice enough to order for me, seeing as I can't read the menu. She says I got a fruit salad and she ordered some hay fries. I find it odd that ponies found a way to fry hay but not potatoes? I mean I know they had potatoes, but not a single pony thought to try that? I start to let my mind wander a bit. Maybe I can become a famous human chef or something? ya right, I can barely cook anyways. Then again maybe I can just tell Rainbow and she could cook?
I’m brought back to reality when Rainbow lays her hoof on top of my hand.
“Whatcha thinking about big guy?” she asks.
“Just food from my world. I mean some of the stuff you have is similar yet so different.” I say as I look around to the other ponies enjoying their meals.
“Like what kind of food?” Rainbow was interested.
I leaned in close to her. “Well, you know how you guys fry hay?” She gives a nod. “We fry potatoes.”
She pulled back a little. “Really?” I give a nod. “That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea.”
I give a simple nod as I notice our waiter walking to our table with a large tray on his back. In one swift motion he somehow took it into his mouth and placed the tray on the table. “Enjoy” Is all he said as he walked off.
Rainbow and I ate our meals. The fruit salad was amazing. All the fruits were definitely fresh. Soon Rainbow and I just sit back and relax as our stomachs digest their rewards. While Rainbow and I rested a bit I could hear a sound off in the distance. It sounded familiar, almost lik-. A smile spread on my face, I knew their was only one filly that made that sound.
I quickly get up and look to the source of the sound, almost on queue Scootaloo was rocketing down the road on her scooter..
“Hey Scoots!” I yell to her.
Her head snaps towards my direction. She turns on a dime and comes straight toward our direction. Stopping with a loud screech right before impact.
“Hey Anon, hey Rainbow Dash!” She says excitedly.
“Going to school Scoots?” I ask her.
I see some sadness cross her face but it's replaced by a giant grin. “Yeh! I know it’s a little early but it's fine.”
I look over to where Rainbow sat and spot three pillows. “Well, did you eat this morning?” I ask. She shakes her head. I wave her over as I take my seat. I pat the empty one that was between Rainbow and I. “How about you have some breakfast with us?”
Her face seems to beam even more as she quickly takes a seat. The waiter was good, before I could even call him over he was before us handing Scootaloo a menu. She also picked some hay fries, which I thought was a little amusing. The waiter was blisteringly fast as he was already placing the fries before Scootaloo. She dug in with as much vigor as Rainbow and I did.
“So are you going to hang with us after school again Anon?” Scootaloo asks briefly before getting back to her meal.
I shake my head. ”Sorry not today Scoots. I gotta go talk to some friends after work.” She looked a little sad but I quickly chip in. “But don't worry, we’ll all hang again soon.”
“You promise?” She looks to me with puppy yes.
“Yeah, I promise.” I say with a smile. Scootaloo finished eating. I look over to a clock to see she still had lots of time to get to school. “You want to walk Scoots to school with me, Rainbow?”
Rainbow gave a quick nod. “Of course.”
If I wasn't too sure but I think Scootaloo may have had a semi-heart attack. She literally jumped for joy out of her chair as she urged us to hurry up. Rainbow threw some bits down to pay for the check. I quickly snuck out one of my 20 bitcoins and toss it to the Waiter.
His eyes widen as I say. “Thanks for the excellent service.” I quickly walk off before he could say anything.
On our walk with Scootaloo, Rainbow regaled us in tales of her awesomeness and heroism. Ranging from getting a dragon to leave a cave, to stopping some shape shifting bug ponies from ruining a wedding. They were all rather grand and probably played up a little for Scootaloo’s interest. Soon we stood before the schoolhouse.
Rainbow ruffled Scootaloo’s mane. “See you later squirt.”
Scootaloo had a ear to ear grin on her face.
“Yeah, have a great day.” I say as she gives me a wave and runs off to meet with the other crusaders. “She’s a really nice kid.” I say aloud.
“Yeah, she is.” Rainbow lets out a depressed sigh.
“Something the matter?” I ask a little worried.
Another sigh comes. “This is probably the most time I’ve spent with her. I always try but, I just..” She shakes her head. “I’m terrible.”
I was shocked by this. I quickly speak up. “You aren't terrible Rainbow!”
“Yes I am. I know she has it hard, I know she likes me, yet I don't even spent time with her. How does that -not- make me terrible?” Rainbow retorts.
I take a knee so we are eye to eye. “Hey. You’re great. You were just busy is all. Saving Equestria must be a pretty hard job.” I say with a smile.
“Maybe” Is all she says.
I pull her into a hug. “No maybe’s”
I could see a smile spread over her face. “Alright, alright, not in front of the kids.”
“Not what?” I say innocently. “This?”
I give Rainbow a quick peck on the lips as a chorus of ‘ewws’ ring out through the school yard. I just chuckle at Rainbow as she is blushing like crazy now. I decide to let her go as she quickly turns away from all the tiny eyes. I wave the Cutie Mark Crusaders goodbye as Rainbow and I walk back towards town square. I look up to the sun and see I still have about a hour or so till work.
“Well, what do you want to do big guy.” Rainbow asks while look off into the sky.
I let out a sigh. “I guess we have some mares to visit. Let’s hope this really does work out alright.”
“Remember, I’m right here with you.” Rainbow says with determination.
I give a nod. First stop, Twilight’s.
Here we are once again. Rainbow and I stood before the door to the library. This isn’t going to be very fun. I raise my hand and place some swift knocks. This time the door was answered by none other than Spike.
“What do -you- want?” He says with irritation.
‘Well so far so great’ I think sarcastically. “I’m here to speak to Twilight.”
“Well she doesn't want to speak with you right now.” Spike says with some venom.
“Spike, it’s important that I talk to her.” I plead.
He scratches the scales on his stomach for a while. “Alright, but only because you gave me those bits yesterday.” He waved me in as he pointed to Twilight's room. “She locked herself in there awhile ago.”
I take a deep breath as I ascend the stairs, Rainbow was trailing close behind me. Once I stood before the door, I could hear the sound of quiet sobs coming from within. I steel myself over as I place some knocks.
“Leave me alone Spike!” Came from a emotional Twilight.
“It’s me.” I say almost in a whisper.
“What do -you- want now.” She says with hurt in her voice.
“Please Twilight, let’s talk about this.”
“I don't want to talk about it, just leave me alone!”
I try a different approach. “I’m not leaving until you talk to me.”
“Leave Anon or I’ll make you leave.” She sounded very angry, but I had to try.
“No.”
....
....
The silence was almost unbearable. That was until I found my body was floating off the ground now. Then I felt pain, a lot of pain. It took me a second to understand what just happened. Twilight tossed me into a wall at break neck speeds. How I wasn't dead, I will never know. My back slumps against the wall all the way down to the ground. I shakily run my hand over my forehead as blood was spilling over my eyes. Yeah I definitely took a headshot.
“Anon!” Rainbow screamed as she rushed to my side. “Oh my gosh are you alright!”
I rub the back of my head to find it too was wet. “I so think.” My head was spinning a bit.
“Twilight what did you do to him?!” Came from Spike.
It was hard to focus but I shakily look up towards where Twilight’s room was. She was standing there, her pupils like pinpricks as she was trembling slightly. I look over to see Rainbow’s face turn from worry to rage. I quickly snatch her forehoof as she tries to fly at Twilight.
“Let me go! I’m going to make her pay!” Rainbow screams at me while trying her hardest to pull away.
“No, it’s alright.” I say in a weak tone. While holding onto Rainbow’s hoof I unsteadily get to my feet. “It’s alright.” Is all I say as I stumble towards the door. I give one last look to Twilight as I walk out the door. Rainbow was now trying to support me while I stumble away from Twilight's home. “I guess that went alright.” I say with a weak chuckle.
“Alright! She almost killed you! I should tell the guards, I should tell Celestia!” Rainbow Rants.
I shake my head. “No Rainbow, it’s.. fine. She, warning. I didn't.. leave.” I still had blood dripping from my head. “I think, I need a doctor.”
“I’ll get one right now!” Rainbow says as she speeds off into the distance.
I hobble over to a local bench and take a seat. I think I might have a concussion, because I feel very sleepy right now.
“OH MY! Are you alright Anon?!” I look over to see Lyra trotting towards me, she had a friend following her too. “Oh, you’re bleeding!” The other mare that was following her looked pretty queasy. My vision was a little too blur right now to accurately describe her. Lyra notice my gaze. “This is Bonbon. Don't worry, I’ll get a doctor.”
“L-lyra.” She stops. “Rainbow...Already.” Oh man this isn't good, I feel like I am about to pass out.
“Oh no. I think he has a concussion. Just hold on Anon.” Lyra turns to Bonbon. “If Rainbow Dash comes back tell her I took Anon to the hospital.” Before I could even protest my entire world turned white and then settled to a new location. “I need a doctor!” Lyra screams as a bunch of ponies rushed me.
I was really tired now. Maybe it will be alright if I close my eyes for just a second.
The slow steady beats of a heart monitor could be heard ringing throughout the room. It was like a eerie lullaby to those that wait for the news of a loved one. The slow beats grace my ears. I move around a little and feel the pain shoot through my spine as I winch a little.
“Somepony get the doctor!” A pony calls out.
My head felt like crap and my body wasn't feeling much better.
“Hello, can you hear me?” Comes a faded voice. I nod my head slightly. “That’s good. I am doctor Stitch, you’re in the hospital right now. Do you feel well enough to speak?” I try but nothing comes out. “Don’t worry about that right now. I’ll just tell you what happened.”
I sit by as the doctor informs me that I have taken a pretty good hit to the head. I needed at least 50 stitches to close the wound on the back of my head. He told me that a Ms.Lyra had teleported me to the hospital and how I had passed out shortly after. I honestly don't remember much after Twilight threw me against the wall.
“So I’m here to let you know that you are just fine. We want you to rest here overnight just in case any complications should arise.” I just nod my head to what he was saying. “You have some visitors, would you like to see them?” I nod once again. “I’ll be back shortly.”
Again the silence filled the room. My head was bandaged again so I couldn't see anything, feels like deja vu. I could then hear the sound of hooves storming into the room.
“Anon please-” Before anything else was said I could hear a struggle going on.
“Get out of here! You’re lucky he doesn't press charges!” That sounded like Rainbow. “All of you, just leave!” There was a pause of silence. Then I could hear someone whispering. “Yeah, you can come in Lyra.”
The sound of fewer hooves entered the room. I tried to ask if everything was alright but all I could manage was a grunt of pain.
“How are you feeling?” That sounds like Lyra, she sounds scared.
“F-fine.” I manage to croak out.
I could hear whimpering of some sort. “T-that’s good to hear.”
“W-who was..That, before?” I ask.
I heard a snort. “Twilight.” That was Definitely Rainbow’s voice.
“S-she alright?”
“Is -she- alright?!” Rainbow sounded angry. “What about you! You could have died!”
“I-I didn't.” I state with a dry voice.
“If it wasn't for Lyra I don't think I would have got to you in time!” I could hear she was crying. I wave her over the best I could, soon I felt her gently rest her head onto my chest while she silently sobbed. “I thought I lost you.”
The way she said that made my heart break. “Y-you didn't.”
“I’ll give you two some alone time.” Lyra says aloud.
“W-wait.” I hear Lyra’s hooves stop. “Thanks.”
I could hear her sniffle a little. “No problem.”
With that Lyra walk out the room and gently closed the door. I was now left alone while Rainbow lay her head on me. I felt better having her so close to me.
“You need to press charges Anon.” Rainbow says bitterly.
“No.” I say flatout.
“Yes! She can't get away with this!”
“Please.. Just let it go.”
“I-I won't!”
“It was just, the moment. I shouldn't have pressed.” I felt my throat clear up a little more.
“This isn't right Anon!” Rainbow sounds determined but I was more determined than her on this.
“Please Rainbow..” I say with sadness, I wanted this to just be put behind us.
She lets out an exasperated sigh. “Fine! But if she ever does this again, I’m going to clobber her myself!”
I chuckle a little at her, but it turns to a sore cough. My head was still killing me.
“M-my job?” I ask.
Rainbow pat my shoulder. “I told them Anon. They hope you recover real soon.”
“Thanks.” Is all I can add.
“Anon!” I hear someone yell as the door to the room slams open. I felt something heavy land on my chest. “I was so worried!” That was definitely Scootaloo. “What happened?!”
“Just a small accident. Don't worry.” I say as I passively stroke her mane.
“Who told you about Anon anyways squirt?” Rainbow asked.
“Everypony in town knows! They said they heard some loud noise from Twilight’s and Anon walked out while he was bleeding!” She buried her face into my chest. “I was worried! So are the girls!”
I just kept petting Scootaloo’s mane. It felt therapeutic.
“Well don't worry Scoots. I’m just fine. I’ll be out of here by tomorrow.” I say trying to keep myself from coughing.
“Yeah, it’ll take more to get rid of this big guy.” Rainbow says trying to calm the little filly on my chest.
Soon she relents and jumps off the bed on Rainbow’s side. We all kinda just sit in silence for awhile.
“Why don't you take Scootaloo out to eat Rainbow. It’s probably late.” I say, I know I can't see but it feels like it's getting late.
“Alright, I’ll be right back.” Rainbow says.
I give another nod as she walks out, Not before Scootaloo gives me one hug before following after. I let out a sigh. ‘Well, that's one mare down. 4 more to go.’ I shake my head. If they all react like this, I might be dead soon.
I wasn't sure when I fell asleep but all I know is that I’m once again in my dream world. It was dark as always but now a low level of red mist surrounded the area. Maybe this mist has something to do with my mental or physical state. It seems to make sense.
“Anon? Anon?!” I quickly snap back awake. My heart was racing a bit. “Oh thank goodness.”
“Something the matter Rainbow?” I ask.
I felt something crawl into bed with me. “I-I just thought you weren't ok.”
I pull Rainbow tightly to my body. “I’m fine.”
She just nods a little as we both try to fall asleep.
So here I am back into the world of my dreams.
“Anon!” I look up to see Luna rapidly descending to me.
“Hey Luna.” I say feeling pretty good.
“Why are you hurt?!” Luna asks.
I look around. “How would you know?”
She points to the mist around my ankles. “That is how.” She looked at me seriously. “What happened?”
“Nothing Luna, just an accident.” I say with confidence.
“Really?” She walks up till we were almost nose to nose. “Then tell me why Twilight is having nightmares of killing you?”
I gulp a little. “Well, she maybe the reason I am in the hospital, now that you mention it.” I nervously rub the back of my neck.
“We will inform my sister of this!” She screams.
“Please Luna don't!” I say quickly.
“Why should we not?!” Luna says, why is she talking like that?
“You said it yourself, she’s having nightmares about what she did. Just, let it be.” I try to convince.
She let out a huff. “Very well Anon.”
With that said my entire dream world turned to darkness.
I slowly open my eyes to find that I was still in the hospital, seems they took off my bandages at some point in the night. I look down to see Rainbow Dash tucked snugly against my body. I let out a sigh of content as I just stroke her mane as I watch her sleep. She looks so peaceful with a small grin on her lips. Soon those large magenta eyes open and look upon me.
“Good morning big guy.” Rainbow says in a loving tone.
I look out the window to see the sun was indeed rising. “I guess it is.” I say with a smile as I look upon Rainbow again.
“How are you feeling?” She asks with concern.
“I could feel better.” I say with a sly grin. She grins as well as she leans forward and plants a kiss on me. We break apart soon after. “Now I feel fantastic.”
She chuckles a little. “I bet you do.” Her face then turns a little bitter. “Twilight.” Rainbow whispers under her breath.
“Everything alright?”
“Yeah, we should get you checked out now. I know nurse Redheart will be happy to see you’re better.” Rainbow says with a smile.
I give a nod as I slowly make my way out of bed. As soon as I try to stand I arch my back slightly from the pain.
“That’s still tender.” I say past my pain.
“D-do you need any help?”
I shake my head. “No, thank you.”
I stabilize myself better as Rainbow walks close by in case she has to catch me. For the most part my back felt like jelly but the more I moved the better I felt. We found our way through the hospital and to the front counter. Behind the counter was a white mare wearing a white cap over her mane. Her cutie mark looked like a red cross.
“Oh Mr.Anon, it's good to see you up and walking.” The mare says.
“I’m sorry?”
She gives a simple nod. “My apologies, I’m Nurse Redheart.”
I smile at her. “Well thank you for looking after me Ms.Redheart.” I give a pathetic half bow to her.
“No worries Mr.anon. All I need you to do now is sign this form and you can be on your way.” She says with some pep.
I decide not to even attempt to read the paper, seeing as I couldn't. So I just sign where the nurse pointed. Once we were all done she gave me a final goodbye as Rainbow and I walked out the hospital.
“So where do you want to go big guy?” Rainbow asks.
I let out a sigh. “I just want to go back to the hotel and relax a little.”
Rainbow says nothing else as we both walk to the hotel.
I fall onto the bed with a slight wince. Just that short walk was enough to make my back feel like it was made of glass. I bury my face into the pillow as I try to keep the pain under control.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Rainbow asks, she sounds worried,
“I’m fine Rainbow” I say through light pants of pain. “I just need to relax a bit is all.”
It was getting hard to just talk as the pain radiated throughout my back. Then I felt something odd. It was soft and flat. It slowly pressed into my back and worked little motions as it went. Honestly it was painful at first, but soon it was feeling a lot better.
“I may not be as good as you big guy, but I hope I am doing alright.” Rainbow says nervously.
I let out a sigh of content. “Is there anything you can't do Rainbow?” I say feeling better by the second.
She didn't say anything back, she just continued to massage me gently. After some time has passed I was feeling almost as if I had no injury. I roll onto my back so I could look at Rainbow.
“Thanks Dashie.”
Her face turned completely red as those words left my lips. “N-no sweat big guy.” She says with a small smile on her lips.
She looked so cute right now. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to my chest. She looked surprised but soon found it the perfect opportunity to lay a kiss on me. I push into her as we let our tongues meet in their own embrace. I can get use to this. Sadly we were interrupted by a knock on the door. I try to get up but Rainbow pushes me down on the bed.
“I got this big guy.” She says with a smile. Rainbow walks over to the door and opens it slightly. “What are -you- doing here?!” I try to look to see who it is but Rainbow was standing in the way, the fur on her entire body was standing on edge.
“Please Rainbow, I need to talk to Anon.” That sounded like Twilight.
“You think I’m going to let you anywhere near him after what you did?!” This situation isn't going to end well, I have to say something.
“Rainbow, let her in.” I say with calmness in my voice, truth is I was a little afraid of Twilight now.
She whipped around to face me. “No!”
“If we don't do this now Rainbow she might not leave us alone.” I let out a grunt. “She knows where I live now.”
Rainbows face turned to anger as she spun around towards the door. “You have five minutes. I see that horn light up, you better hope I don't break it off.”
I could hear a gulp from where I lay pass through the door. “Ok Rainbow.” Came from a defeated Twilight.
I wonder why Rainbow is being so hostile. I mean yeah I was hurt but I wonder if this is normal. I’ll have to ask someone about it. I was broken from my thoughts as Twilight stood at the foot of my bed with completely red eyes, she must have been crying since the incident.
Rainbow stood next to Twilight ready to attack if she tried to use her magic.
“So, what is it?” I ask with more venom than I intended.
She winced at that slightly. “I just wanted to say how sorry I am. What I did wasn't right but it also was an accident.”
I hear Rainbow snort. “Fat chance.”
“It’s true Rainbow!” Twilight says looking at Rainbow. “I-I just wanted him to leave! So I was just going to throw him out the door, I didn't mean to throw him into a wall, let alone at that much speed!” Twilight tried to walk towards me but Rainbow stood between her and I now. “I-I’m sorry Anon.”
I take in everything she just told me. It sounded all possible but what she intended didn't end how she wanted. She obviously feels bad about it but how do I know if this is the truth? I let out a sigh, I guess now is a good time as any.
“Twilight, the reason why I came to the library the second time yesterday was to talk to you.” I try to gather my thoughts the best I could. “I know you like me, the thing is Twilight, I don't like you in that way or at least I’m still unsure.” I look over to Rainbow. “Though, there is one pony I am pretty sure I do like.”
Rainbow turns away with a blush. Twilight looked to her then to me and looked like she was about to burst into tears. She just looked to the floor as a few lone tears fall.
“I-I understand.” Is all she says.
“Twilight, come here.” I say as I wave her over. Rainbow looks like she is going to attack but I hold up my hand telling her to stop. Twilight was at my bedside now, eyes still glued to the floor. I wrap my arms around her and pull her to me. She yelps slightly but I whisper into her ear. “I’m not sure how this will all turn out, but I hope at the very least we can still be friends.”
She was now sniffling a little into my chest. “Y-yeah.” She pulls away from me and lands onto the ground. She looks up to me and gives a forced smile. “I need to head back to the library.” Her eyes fall to the floor once again as she walks out the door.
Rainbow closes the door and returns to the other side of the bed.
“She looks like she took it hard.” Rainbow says.
I let out a sigh. “One mare down, four to go.” I look over to a clock. “After I get to work.” I try to get up but Rainbow is holding me down.
“Oh no you don't! Aloe and Lotus told me you get a sick day.” Rainbow says with a smile.
“What am I supposed to do all day then?” I really didn't want to sit here all day.
“You just relax and let me do all the work.” Rainbow says with a sly smile. She climbs on top of me and once more we let our mouths meet. Her sweet taste graces my lips for only a second as she pulls away. “After breakfast.” She adds with a chuckle. I let out a grunt of frustration. I was really enjoying that too. I try to get up but once again am being forced down “Like I said big guy, let me do all the work.”
Again I grunt as I fall onto the bed. “Fine!” I say pouting a little.
“Don't worry you big foal. We’ll do something outside later. Just wait here till I get our breakfast ready.” Rainbow says with a smile.
Rainbow walks out the door and leaves me lying on the bed. I look around the room. ‘Ugh this is so boring!’ My only choices here are sleep or go outside. I look over to a shelf full of books. ‘Well that's a little disheartening.’ I just let out a sigh. I guess a power nap can't hurt.
Something felt rather odd about this dream. First thing is that I don't remember being in the darkness. The second thing is that Rarity is currently trying to work my belt off my pants. So either I am dreaming about having sex with Rarity or this is real. My eyes snap full open as I sit up and push Rarity off me.
“What are you doing?!” I scream unsure if this was all real or not. I quickly look around to see it was still morning, I was still in my room and this was definitely -not- a dream.
Rarity was lying on her back on the bed as she lifted her head, looking at me with half lidded eyes.
“Oh darling I didn't know you liked it rough.” she says in a sultry tone. She spreads her legs wide and gave me a full view of her privates. I already took a face full of it but still turn away with a completely red face. “Perhaps you should punish me.” she adds with a giggle.
So let's try to process this situation a bit. Rarity is in my bed and I am definitely sure she is asking for.. Well I don't want to think about -that-. How long have I been asleep, where is Rainbow? All of these things ran through my mind in seconds. What am I going to do?!
“R-Rarity I-I already hav-ve a girlfriend.” I stutter trying to push my back against the bed's headboard. I try to look anywhere but her privates but.. Holy shit is it winking?! I snap my head to look else where.
“I won't tell if you don't.” She says with a sly grin.
I wanted to stay away but I felt my body being pulled towards her. She forced my lips to meet hers, no matter how hard I tried to pull away the magic held me there.
“Anon I’m ba-” The door swung open to reveal Rainbow. I have never been so happy in my life, then it turned to fear. Rainbow looked livid. Her entire face was red. Rarity didn't seem to care as she pressed me into her mouth. I looked to Rainbow with pleading eyes.
It all happened so fast I couldn't believe it. Rainbow flew towards the bed and decked Rarity’s horn. The magic field around me dropped as Rarity let out a cry of pain. Rainbow grabbed her mane with her teeth and dragged her out of the room kicking and screaming. I was left there trying to catch my breath, shaking slightly from fear. What the hell just happened!
Sounds of a small scuffle went on outside for awhile but soon Rainbow returned to the room with some minor cuts and bruises.
“Are you alright Rainbow?!” I ask with concern.
She waved me off. “I’m fine big guy. Just a little fight.”
She spoke like it was something normal. “A fight?! How can you be acting like this is normal!”
She grinned at me. “Yeah, you don't know, do you?” I shake my head. “Mares always fight for their stallions.”
“What?!”
“Yeah. Sometimes mares will try to take another mares stallion, so we have to fight to keep them. It’s no biggie.” She says in a normal tone. She then shift to concern. “Are you ok big guy?”
“No! I-I was almost raped! She just used her magic to make me do that! If you didn't show up, I don't know how far she would have taken it!” I say feeling violated.
Rainbow seemed visibly shocked by this. “Mares aren't suppose to do that!” she then stopped dead in her tracks. “No no no no no no!” Rainbow ran to a calendar on the wall. She let out a sigh of relief. “Ok, so that wasn't it.”
“That wasn't what?” I ask confused.
“Nothing, don't worry about it.” Oh I heard that before. I just let it slide for now. “I’ll talk to Rarity after she cools down. I think I might know what her problem is.”
“Can’t I go?”
“No, it might be you that’s the problem.” She states.
“Why would it be me?” I have no idea what I did.
“Well. I hear that if a mare goes a long time without sex, they can get a little crazy.” Rainbow says while rubbing the back of her neck.
“Oh well that doesn't sound good at all.” I say as I slam my back into the bed, I just look to the ceiling. I can't get the image of Rarity’s.. I mean, I swear it winked. Is that normal? “So, no talking to Rarity till we figure this out?” Rainbow gives a nod. “Fine by me.”
“Oh!” Rainbow speeds out the room. Soons she zooms back with a basket in her mouth. “Here’s breakfast.”
I could clearly smell the meat. I was definitely hungry but the images that will plague my mind were still fresh. I still put on a fake smile and eat the food Rainbow handed to me. It was seasoned and tasted fantastic. Still, this whole thing is getting out of control. First Twilight throws me into a wall, then Rarity tries to rape me. I really hope the others aren't as bad. All I can do right now is enjoy my meal with Rainbow.
I was full and was feeling a lot better. I was still having some trouble walking but for the most part I was fine. I look over to a clock, it was about the time when the girls get out of school. Funny how time flies when you are almost raped.
“I need to get out of this room Rainbow. Let’s go see the kids, they always make me feel better.” I say as I slowly get out of bed.
“Wait!” Rainbow zooms out the room and back in again with a stick in her mouth. “I told the doctor you were having some trouble walking, he said this would help.” She says passed the object in her mouth.
I take it from her and examine it. This was a cane.
“Really?” Rainbow give a nod and a smile. “Alright then. So let’s go see the kids.” Rainbow give another nod as we walk out the room.
I really hate to admit it, but this cane did make it easier to walk. Even if I did look like a old grandpa. Then again why do they even have canes? Ah, who cares. So here we are, standing outside of the schoolhouse waiting for the kids to be let out. It was only a couple of minutes for that to happen, so not much of a wait.
“D-Do you like foals Anon?” Rainbow asks nervously.
“Foals, not so much. I mean I like them and all but I just get nervous around them.”
“Would you ever want one?”
Well that took me by surprise. “I-I don't think I can.” I think for a little. “I mean, I don't think I can.. Here.” She gives a nod of understanding. “What about you? Have you ever thought about, you know, having one?”
“W-Well yeah. Every mare thinks about it at least once.” She says with a sad smile.
“You know, if we do stay together. I might no-” Rainbow cuts me off.
“I know.” She then leans against my leg. “I am fine with that.”
I just stroke her mane as we wait for the bell. Just on time the bell rings and the kids burst out with a mass of screams. Scootaloo spots us and comes rocketing over.
“Hey! What are you two doing here?” She asks with excitement.
“Just here to hang out with the coolest filly out there.” Rainbow says in a loving tone.
Scootaloo seems taken aback by this. “Y-you think I’m cool?”
Rainbow lightly punches her. “Not just cool, the coolest!” She plays it up a bit but the filly really shines when she hears that.
“How are you doing Anon?” I look down to see Sweetie Belle standing next to me. She looked really worried.
I wince a little when I kneel down and stroke her mane. “I’m doing just fine Sweetie.”
She presses her face into my leg. “I was so worried when I heard you were attacked by Twilight.”
I felt my heart freeze over. “W-What did you say Sweetie?” I ask shocked by what she said.
Scootaloo came in. “We heard it was Twilight! It’s around town that she attacked you!”
Oh shit, this can't be good. I picked up a sound off in the distance, the sound of wings beating against the wind. I look up to see a golden chariot was making a Beeline to Twilight’s direction, I have seen that chariot only once before.. I shakingly stand to my feet. “Oh that -really- can't be good.”
