private An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (Closed!)

[Dawn Stripes 301]

@,

 

Rainbow Dash smiled ear-to-ear as she tried to remember which car in the drive belonged to Dennis. She didn't honestly hear a word after 'film'--she got to be on TV again, and that was what mattered.

"Sounds like a great idea, Dennis! Let's do it."

With a couple ineffectual sniffs, she stood on tiptoes, jogging in light, energetic circles around the driveway, staring at the sky. It had rained maybe sometime in the night, but a rolling mass of clouds was sweeping around from the east, towards a currently sky filled with only whispy streamers.
"Got good headlights, right?" she mentioned as she fell in beside Dennis again. "We're gonna' get some fog this afternoon."

"I don't have a car... don't worry! It's not far! Oh and fog doesn't get that low in cities." There he was patching it up or at least trying to... once again one of his bad habits. 

"I... look Rainbow... i am sorry i am not what you expected. I don't own a car... i don't have a butt-ton of money and stuff... but hey! If you want you can hop on my back and i can put on turbo-mode and we'll be there in no time!" 

He tried to brush off his stress, and maybe shame by humor... which to him wasn't funny at all... but at least Rainbow Dash might find it funny right? He was laughing a bit forcibly and rubbing his neck with his hand.

"Might as well." Shawn said as he went over to the two other men. "Whaddya got??" Shawn, then Stephen, went over to the DJ's car and assisted with pulling out all of the turntable equipment, as well as anything else they may have had, carried into them into the warehouse, and assisted with setting things up.

 

Once they were finished, the twins wasted no time in goofing off, running around the warehouse,taking pictures. Shawn even pulled off a few cartwheels and a roundoff before failing an attempt at a backflip, landing on his back.

 

Stephen, who was thankfully far enough away not to feel his brother's pain, laughed hysterically and took a picture whilst Shawn was still down. “HA HA HA HA HA HA~! Dumb fucker!”

 

Stephen then took another picture of the inside of the warehouse, then sent it with an attached text to Colette and Charles:

 

>>This place is friggin' HUGE! Even Pinkie's gonna have a time decorating the place!<<

Colette just stood there a moment, blinking dumbly. “A... What??” Rarity made a WHAT for her?! The last time she wore a dress was Prom, and that was a few months back! She's met her yearly quota for dress wearing! “You sure that's not for Twilight??” she asked like an idiot. Of course it wasn't! It was red and black, and looked to about knee length. "I-- I uh… thanks! We're gonna head over to the warehouse and get it ready, but I'll put it on when we get back!"

 

She couldn't believe she just said that! Colette took the dress upstairs and hung it up on a closet door. Anywhere else, and it might get crushed!

 

But SHE was gonna wear a DRESS?! What the fu--No! Colette should be greatful! Who knows, maybe it'll impress Flutters??

@, 

 

Rainbow wasted no hesitation hopping onto Dennis' back, wrapping one arm loosely around his shoulders in a monkey grip, letting him breathe while her other arm pointed towards the long dirt road to Racine. "Hi ho! On Dennis!" She giggled at the irony even she could pick up on.

 

Still..with another stiff... "I don't know, Den. You got kind of a freak cell, big coldfront swinging down soon if nopony deals with it, and, y'know, nopony will...if your town had a weather manager I'd be telling you she was awful right now. I know there's a lake and all, but this one might get kind of soupy. Maybe we'll pick you up a headlamp instead." She smiled, absurdly satisfied by the idea of outfitting Dennis like a car, still riding him piggyback.

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

@@Dawn Stripes, What in the bleeping hell? Rainbow Dash took it seriously? He was surprised... pleasantly. He laughed a bit... Rainbow's gesture had ignited a new spark in him and his smile shone true now upon his face. He loved her for this... this was just what he needed at this time. He got into the role of the "carriage" pretty quick... he wans't of the guys that were afraid to kneel or offer themselves. He didn't know much about weather but decided Rainbow Dash would be right... oh well he was used to rain. He placed his hand on hers wanting to get a tighter grip on her... but also he seeked touch with her it meant a lot to him.

"Well then... welcome to "The Pony Express" fasten your seatbelts princess! I am about to shift this "Car" into overdrive!"

He started running always watching for Rainbow not to fall down from him. He didn't care much about the people looking at them, some were even smilling at them. He was having fun at this... and he wasn't going to allow anyone to ruin this for him. He started making a subtle car noise and as they crossed the turn he made a screeching noise like if a car drifting. He speed and endurance were fueled by his newfound joy.

"Yeeeeeeeehooooooooooow!!!!!" They soon arrived at the gym and he stopped kneeling so Rainbow Dash could get off.

"That was... unexpectedly fun... i didn't expect you to take it seriously but... i am glad you didn't."

@, 

 

Rainbow Dash hopped down, rubbing her chin to find that she hadn't worked up a sweat yet, while Dennis looked copiously worked out from carrying a human female halfway across town....no matter. Gyms were about posturing and showing off anyway. Rainbow Dash had been intimately acquainted with the dilapidated government facility of Cloudsdale Flight Camp gym; this one looked a little nicer to boot.

 

"What?" she blinked. "You weren't serious?"

She threw him one of Colette's towels.

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

@@Dawn Stripes, He laughed a bit... he should really stop speaking. "No no no no no... i was... i just you know... didn't expect it. Hell if you asked me to do this on the way back i'd hapilly do it! It felt un-naturally good for me... i am serious!" He said giving her a wide smile. He imagined he'd be willing to go on a prankster spree with her, it would be fun...

"So... did you enjoy the ride? What do you think of the gym?"

[Dawn Stripes 301]

@, 

 

She shrugged, grinning and wringing her towel between her arms. "Let's go in, why don't we? Show me where you usually do your hangin' out---they got a running track, maybe? They got a mat? I can do whatever." She scrunched up her nose. "Hmm...guessing there's no flapping bags...well, I couldn't use one right now anywho."

@@Pripyat Pony,

 

Diliges, who had just rested on the couch, and eventually against the wall while waiting for Clare, gave the now prismatic haired woman a grin in return to her smile, "Well now, don't you just look simply dashing?" He kept up the grin briefly before clarifying, "Pun is... partially, intended."

 

The Changeling gave himself a dry chuckle before nodding and actually answering her question by opening the door and saying, "That we are Clare! Let us be off!"

Diliges, in going with his nature, was once more adorned by almost the same clothing that he'd had upon first arriving in this world, only having traded out the original jeans for a less worn down pair. Despite the looks he usually received upon going anywhere, Diliges had kept a hold on his tattered black jacket. He felt it was representative of his curse and identity as a Changeling, and was apprehensive to part with it. Though it was also because it still served as some sort of clock for when he should feed, as the tatters and holes on it grew larger when left to long.

 

(I specified what a character was wearing, does that make one of the cool kids now??? : P)

 After having assisted the menfolk in their moving, and setting up of the sound equipment - more than easily pulling her own weight, so to speak - Angie had joined the twins in their further exploration of the warehouse, though she remained only a little more reserved in her antics than the two Scotsman.

She cringed upon witnessing Shawn land flat on his back after the failed flip, knowing full well what such a thing feels like, from personal experience. Whereas Stephen gave an uproarious laugh at his brother's plight, Angie - though herself chuckling - made her way over to him and held out a hand, "Miscalculated your jump there, did you?" She said, with a slight smirk.

@@Dawn Stripes, "Alright then! Here we go!" 

He stepped in through the door. The gym had been established in the area and had decent machinery, Dennis however prefered it because it wasn't so crowded as the others he had seen. Plus he and his friend Themis used to go here often. It was him that had proposed this to him and he slowly realised that the times he had spent there had a positive effect on his self-esteem and self-confidence. 

He talked a bit to the clerk and since Dash was new to this place brought by another member she was entitled to a one-day tour of the place. He took the keys and proceeded to the lockers where he opened the number corresponding to his locker. He got a bottle of water out of his backpack and placed keys and the rest of the stuff he didn't need. He only kept the phone in case he wanted to film her.

"Anything you don't need you can put it inside this locker and we'll take it later alright? I was thinking of trying something both light and interesting. Tell me... do you know anything about boxing? Do you ponies have any similar sports?"

He didn't want to introduce Dash straight to the hard weight-lifting stuff... he wanted to warm her up first. That and... lots of other things. He liked boxing... putting effort to defeat another opponent was something he liked too. 

After they were done he showed her the boxing sack, he got two sets of boxing gloves and wore them.

"These are here so we don't break our hands by hitting each other. Here take this pair." He handed her the set.

[Dawn Stripes 301]

@, 

 

Rainbow Dash tried moving her fingers when the poofy red balls were cinched tight over her hands. "Hnh..." Inquisitively, she moved her arms in circles, testing the weight and feel of her balled fists. Not quite like having hooves again, but...."huh."

 

She knew what boxing gloves were, of course. A pair of fighters in Maredison Square Garden couldn't go at it with bare hooves without leaving each other bloody in moments. These days, they were expensive gloves made of compressed cloud composites. This red thing looked like a bunch of rubber and foam...same effect, if a little primitive.

 

She'd never worn boxing gloves before. To test them out, Rainbow threw an experiemental jab at the locker door, slamming. "Whup-pa!" The metal slam echoed through the hall, making her jump. "Yai!" Rainbow rubbed the spot where she'd hit the locker, hoping it wasn't dented--and that no one would notice.

 

Lot of folks working out here. Most of them were acting just like Rainbow expected the colts back home to. Some of them sent looks her way--Rainbow Dash expected that a filly coming into the gym was about the same event here as anywhere. Despite the worlds revolving around her, some things didn't really change...

 

With a grin to herself, Rainbow Dash danced pretend circles around Dennis. "You box, huh?"

@@Dawn Stripes, "You could say that... i really like it. I train usually with my friend Themis... he is twice my size, in my eyes at least, and i like it because i can get my anger out without being judged about it. You know what i'm saying? You can't really hit someone outside without suffering the consequences... hitting a stuffed sack calms me... i can think better when i do it." 

He aproached the sack, put the towel on his shoulders around his head and started "dancing" around it hitting twice with the right hand and once with the left, then he made a slight jump getting 90 degrees on the right of the sack and doing the same. He made some circles around it continuing in the same pattern.

Then he stopped with a sense of satisfaction breathing the air with vigor.

"Now you try... if you want we can try some with me later. One on One."

((My turn to be late! Finally tackling the texts!))

 

Colette broke out her constant electronic companion, unlocking it to reveal a bevy of unanswered messages. How'd she miss these??

 

The first message was from Angie, inquiring about the fate of the delicious treat. The next few messages were from Jack. The first came with an attached picture of a bacon stand. The jerk! The next indicated he was done with practice, and asked if he should head on over to the warehouse, to which she quickly responded:

 

>>The entry fee for you is bacon, you jerk!<<

 

Colette then send a response to Angie, Nick, and the twins:

 

>>Angie - Fluttershy fed my bacon to Logan's dog.

 

Everyone else - Damn, that is huge! We'll be heading over to the warehouse in a bit. I just need to round everyone up! Can't wait to are Pinkie work her magic!<<

 

Colette went back downstairs after sending the last message, calling out to everyone present. "Okay, everybody! Let's go check the warehouse out!"

 

She then went out to the back yard and called out to the two mares. "Fluttershy! Applejack! We're gonna head on over to the warehouse now. Come inside and get ready."

[Dawn Stripes 301]

@, 

 

(OOC: Fluttershy going to wait for AJ to respond)

 

Rainbow Dash grimaced mid-punch. "Hit a guy?" she said, voice crackling. "Eh...I don't know, man. I mean...if you want to..." 

 

She joined him beside the sack, ignoring the issue for now to follow his circles--she didn't know anything about boxing, but it looked like he did, and her passive curiosity picked some up. "I can understand needing to get some stress out. I went to a groundpounder gym one time when my wing was broken and I needed to move around. Looked like fun." She smirked, hammering her gangley arms into the sack and watching it give with satisfying sandy noises. "That was an experience. Track was well-kept, but if I'd known so many mares in Ponyville were gay..." she shook her head. "I prob'ly woulda' taken that workout suit Rarity kept offering to make for me."
Another punch--one-two, left-right, jab then hammer. "She coulda' come out and told me why she wanted to make it, but no, she had to be all subtle and discreet. Pfff." Her rainbow hair shook. "That's the one thing I really can't stand about her. It's not the clothes, really. But po-people oughta' just come out and tell you what they're trying to say. Such a waste of time otherwise."

A pause; she stood, spawning one cracked chuckle and a sheepish grin. "You're pretty good at that."

"He's special?" Fluttershy's face muscles relaxed, as she produced a salt cube from one pocket to hold to the mouth of the approaching buck. She exhaled in airy, feminine wonder. "Wowwww..." If even Applejack was being changed by the air here, there must be something about humans, Fluttershy decided. "What do you think is going on?" she said, comfortable in the stalwart atmosphere of her friend; she swung around the naked waist of a baby birch. "All of us, almost all our friend, just one day--pop! Here we are. And now...so many of us are falling in love!" She smiled rosily. "Maybe we just needed to get out of town to find the right somepony,but it's so strange...what do you think it means?"

"Ah...Ah dunno. Ah'm a simple pony. Ah ain't very good at that kinda philosophical thing. But maybe...maybe this was meant to happen, Fluttershy. Maybe there's somethin'...somethin' drivin' everything, and it knew this would happen. Maybe this is somethin' like fate. Or maybe we just happened to meet the right humans. Ah dunno. But ah wouldn't change it at all."

"I personally prefer..." He gave the sack a strong kick in reverse with each leg and continued doing that "...the direct aproach. Plus i am not really good in lying... i tend not to judge people by their appearance. That's why i didn't think you were gay even if you had rainbow hair... i mean why would i? That would be really sexist of me... it would be like judging goth and punk girls for their appearance. Plus i really like a girl that seeks to be different... unique."

Fluttershy hummed softly in response, perking up when Colette called them from the back porch. Being yelled to across a field made Fluttershy smile, and she grabbed Applejack by the hand to bring her back in. "It looks like it's time to celebrate," she said. "Thank you for the walk, Applejack."

Rainbow Dash jumped around Dennis and jabbed the bag a couple of times. "Well, I s'pose you can't get much different than a pony, can you? Well, I guess....ugh, never mind."

 

"Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow spun to see a face in a mullet, belonging to a man in an undershirt and tape-wrapped hands. "Fancy seeing you here!" He was beaming from ear to ear, and so were the other five, or six....or...or twelve...who lined up behind him.

 

"Do I?...Aha!" Rainbow grinned. "Racing! Hey, guys!" She put her hands on her hips. "You're gonna' have to get in a line if you want more autographs. I only have two hands." She chuckled a little at her private joke, doubting any of them would get it.

Things had dropped relatively silent once more, and in going with there being little conversation, and his rarely being the one to strike it up unless with certain persons, Logan resolved himself to kneeling down and running a hand down the length of Ulysses' back from between his ears to the base of his tail. The dog had remained still, half asleep, until Colette came down the stairs, stating that they should be heading out to the warehouse soon.

 

Logan stood, and a short second later, so did his canine. He stretched slightly, having stayed in the relatively the same position for the past few minutes. The sounds of Applejack and Fluttershy reentering the home were heard , and a few short seconds later, they were visible. The officer gave them a nod and cracked a smile. Applejack seemed to be doing better now. It seemed Logan's theory of speaking to someone when in times of turmoil did help. Or, at least he assumed that it did. Saw no evidence proving otherwise.

@@Dawn Stripes, This was... somewhat unexpected. Sure there were bronies everywhere now and there should be a really big explosive growth of the fandom these days but... this much? He was kinda offended that he was interrupted so rudely from his attempts to get a little closer to Rainbow Dash but he knew that if he made a move to make them all go away this would end up bad. Probably he would end up being hit in the face... and he wouldn't like a broken nose especially after that fall on school. He was a tad bit jealous of the guys... in comparison to him they were giants of power though he wasn't weak to begin with.

On the other hand Rainbow Dash was fine with attention and if he stopped that... she sure wouldn't like it. Maybe if he gave those guys something they would relax later and leave them alone, or it would just make things worse forcing them to run away like idiots. *sigh* The sure thing was that there was no way out of this... so he put on his fake smile and decided to "Deal with it"... He went close to Dash and whispered to her ear

"Hey Dash... instead of an autograph we could do something better. Maybe we could make a video with some of those guys you know... giving some advice, maybe exercising and stuff... then later upload it on Tumblr?"
