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

@@Dawn Stripes, ((OOC:Give him a bit time... we'll see again in a week)) Slowly and steadily the group dispersed, a few stayed for some goodbyes and he couldn't help but smile at their reactions. They were still talking about those two and there were whispers about what he had given her, he didn't mind... he was the King of the World, none could erase his smile. They were alone... near the lake. He had not forgotten her challenge before... he'd respond to it in time but for now he understood she was conflicted about his gift.

"Do you like it? I though it would be fitting for you... i wanted to give you something from me, you deserve it after-all. You..." he paused for a moment as he took her hand in his and stared at her eyes from a bit closer. He didn't know what to say... were there any words for this

"You are crazy... the good kind of crazy, i love that. You know... i never thought you'd ask of a car battery to test your electricity resistance... but you're not the only one who is crazy around here. I'll show you a crazy Dennis like you've never seen before!" He winked back at her as he made some backwards steps. He turned to see the lake in front of him...  running progressively faster throwing most of the clothes away... he wasn't as muscular as the rest but he had started taking the "shape" of an athlete. He made a huge jump and... 

"LA BOMBA!!!" He shouted as he splashed in the water and shook his hair back when he emerged from the surface and raising his hand he challenged her.

​"TOP THAT!!!" He then proceeded to start swimming around in the lake... he might not have been the best at running, but he was the best at swimming fast as a dolphin they used to tell him. He relished in the fact that he was in his element again after so much time... it was cold... but it didn't scare him in the least.

Colette smiled and blushed a little as Fluttershy squeezed her hip. In return, Colette pulled her a little closer, and gave her hip a squeeze as well. If only humans truly lived ofg of kindness like that… Flutters, nor any of the Ponies for that matter-- they didn't need to know just how some humans lived off of hatred and cruelty. No. Leave that kinda melodrama to Dennis! Besides, that would only ruin the mood.

 

"There's gotta be more to the story than that!" She chirped as they reached a fork in the path. Choosing the shorter path, Colette led Fluttershy to the path on the right-- as much as she enjoyed the walk, she knew they better get back on the road again soon, should she want to watch the raw power of the party cannon again!

 

"There's gotta be a reason why you guys were chosen to be the Bearers of the Elements…" Colette continued. "I mean, there's no way any of you could just be ordinary Ponies in Equestria. Well, definitely not Twilight, since she's a princess and all, and--" stop prattling and let your date talk, doofus! Colette shook her head at herself and let the question hang in the air, waiting for the silence to be broken by the Pegasus' answer.

Fluttershy gave a soft giggle. "Mmm...I don't know about that," she murmured, tracing her steps alongside Colette's as they passed the brook. "If you want to hear about how wonderful we are, you can always talk to Rainbow Dash. She'll tell you plenty. I just think we were in the right place at the right time. You could have done it, too. After all, the most important thing we've ever done..."

She snuck a sly look at Colette's eyes; forgetting to breathe for a moment, she walked even slower, coming nearly to a halt as they arrived at the footbridge where the path wound around back over the creek. "The most wonderful...thing, we've..."

Rainbow Dash gasped, then guffawed, as Dennis nearly splashed her by crashing down the boulder-strewn shore and splashing deep into the salty lake. She couldn't help laughing, falling flat on her back on the stretch of sand as he swum laps, with half his shoes and articles dumped on the beach. He must be freezing his ass off!

"Oh, no way man," she shouted gaily as he challenged her. "I'm not gettin' in any lake! Besides, that stuff's cold!"

 

"Gnr..." slipping off one sneaker, she dipped a few toes in the water and pulled back. "Celeeee--Mary Joseph Luna Cadence, nuh uh." The human was good at this, though--he looked like some kinda' fish running around there.

@@Dawn Stripes, He was... dissapointed to say the least... he had high hopes for this move, but it seemed as if Rainbow perceived this as a joke of his. He sighed...

"Well... i thought when we talked about the sea and swimming that you'd be interested trying out such a thing... seems like i was wrong. Oh i don't mind..." he says as he aproaches the shore. As he gets out and grits his teeth while dripping water facing the cold wind that's now drying him he continues...

"You know... it's not cold when you enter the water... but rather when you exit it. The water is always colder than the outside temperature." Feeling the cold intensify he graps the towel and sits down next to her trying to dry himself. He was happy that his course of action made her

"So... you didn't tell me... did you like it? My present..." He was anxious about it... did he make the right move? What did she think of it? Did she... did she feel love about him? He was an idealistic moron when it came to love and that hindered most of his relationships from evolving. He imagined that he'd have to start being a bit more courageous... but he didn't want Rainbow Dash to think of him like a womanizer.

@@Hypn0ticD, He suddenly felt a different type of cold that made him shake his body. Someone was thinking... badly of him? He had some sort of inner instinct that he could never explain. He dismissed it and focused back on Rainbow Dash.

@, 

 

Rainbow Dash blinked at the lake, trying to pick out a specific spot, and shivered. "Pegasi and bodies of water don't mix too much man. If you think getting you mane wet is a hassle..." she stuck out her. "Which is kinda' weird considering we eat fish..." She screwed up her face a minute, then shrugged. "Pinkie Pie keeps trying to get me to go swimming in the pond with her, but I can usually bring a book and weasel out of it. And uh..." she gave a wry smile, "Don't have the best history with this particular lake already. Er...."

She held up the statue. "This is really nice. I mean, it--pretty, I guess. You musta' laid down some cash for it, and that's really--nice of you. No idea where I'm gonna' put it, but Colette'll probably let me put it on the table or something until I get back home..."

As to what it might mean, Dash didn't mention that from any angle. If she was lucky, Dennis wouldn't get too deep about it--oh, who was trying to kid? Oh well, as AJ would say, you couldn't blame a girl for trying...

She looked over, and Dennis was shivering from the cold beside. She almost had to roll her eyes--well, dad hadn't raised an unchivalrous mare. Un-chilval-ish? Er...whatever it was, this was her chance to be whatever Dennis had been, and now she'd feel bad if she didn't so she draped both her towels around Dennis' shoulders and, after a little thought, stripped her blazer too, to keep the wind off him. She still had her band T-shirt she stole from Colette, and figured that would take care of any US social mores as regarded keeping herself clad.

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

@@Dawn Stripes, Rainbow Dash still had qualms about going a bit romantic with him... he imagined Colette must have had a much easier time with Fluttershy. Now that he thought of it as personalities he had a bit of Fluttershy in him... which is probably why he was a bit "in conflict" as a match for Rainbow Dash... but then again it was what made him even more interested in her.

 

She put a towel over him and he smiled, she appreciated the gesture. Still she had to find a way to make her open up a bit to him... he caught himself secretly craving for another kiss from her... and blushed at the thought. They were closer now...

 

"So... did you have fun today? I... really liked it how you stood up to those other guys for me... i...." he caught himself swallowing his words, breathing a bit faster and a ringing upon his ears. What the hell was he even saying? Come on Dennis be brave... get the girl! And she didn't do anything to help him understand what would be the right move... he didn't want to shock her again with another kiss that would make her conflicted. If only she got closer maybe he would understand if she wanted something. Subconsiously he got a little closer her...

There was no doubt in Colette's mind that Rainbow Dash would embellish the tale of how the six friends became the Bearers. Especially when it came to Dash herself! Colette giggled at the the thought of asking Rainbow! All the same, it would be interesting to hear her version of the story.

 

Human Element Bearers? Colette resisted the urge to snort and laugh ay that. Which Element would she be? The Element of Gaming and Rock Music? Like that'll happen!

 

"After all, the most important thing we've ever done... The most wonderful...thing, we've..."

 

Colette turned to face Fluttershy, who had since nearly stopped on the bridge above the brook. Why did she stop speaking? "Flutters?" She asked as she leaned in close to her. "What'd you guys do?"

@@Hypn0ticD, 

 

Fluttershy's eyes were half-lidded. Her heart seemed ready to go to a stop. She was really gong to do it. This was it. Just like she'd dreamed about.

A tiny, sharp gasp, inches from Colette's nose. What was she thinking? Could this be selfish? She shouldn't be making this about herself! Quickly, she dived into Colette's eyes. Would this--would this be what she wanted?

She had been the one who climbed into bed with her. And this place was almost perfectly magical. It could only have been better with marigolds. Maybe they were here somewhere...

 

Her left hand tightened on Colette's shoulder. What she thinking. She couldn't dare so much. If she reached for so much she'd probably get in trouble....she didn't eve know her that well. Their relationship was based on...well, on being together. Like walking on a cloud, through which Fluttershy had forever been terrified of falling. A diagnosed disorder for a pegasus filly. Was this just as disordered? What if she ended up asking a mare--not even a mare, a female she barely even knew, to be hers? That was asking for trouble!

 

Almost in tears, she moved back an inch, breathing heavily, too undecided to pull away entirely.

Rainbow Dash settled in comfortably as Dennis sat side-by-side with her. "Yeah," she smirked, "I was pretty awesome. 'Course they weren't really scary or anything..." she shrugged. "I can't make it look like it was a bigger deal than it was. 'Cause than it might look like couldn't deal with something a thousand times scarier than that. Like Nightmare Moon." She smiled--good times, right? "Don't listen to that cartoon. I totally wasn't even sweating."

"Flutter...Shy?" Colette asked slowly, unsure of what to do... One second Fluttershy was just fine, but now she looked as if she were about to cry... Colette pulled her into a tight hug, stroking her hair, and kissing her on the cheek. "Fluttershy, what's the matter??" She rocked the former Pegasus back and forth a little. "Flutters?? What is it?"

 

What could she do?? What was wrong?? Colette only knew Fluttershy for a few days at best, but knew she didn't want this opportunity to pass her by... Wait. Was it that?? "Flutteshy... We barely know each other, but let's give this relationship a shot, at least.." Colette pulled away a little to look Fluttershy in the eye, their noses a mere inch away from each other. "I mean, we may a short time to spend time with each other, but let's enjoy the time we have and at least try to get to know each other a little better." Colette then pulled Fluttershy into another hug, wrapping her arms around her waist. "We haven't even gone on our first date." She whispered before nuzzling her neck.

 

Truth be told, Colette was dreading the day they'd have to say goodbye more and more. It would've been so much easier if she didn't develop any feelings for Flutters- She was going to be so torn when the Ponies left.. Was there any chance that the humans can go with them? Colette pulled away to wipe away some tears, turning around as if Fluttershy wouldn't notice. "Fluttershy, I- it's gonna suck to see you all go, but... Just--for now, let's--" Fuck! There she went again! Just, just--  say it! "Look, I'm scared about this, too. I'm not even sure of what to say, so I'm just gonna say it again. Let's just give each other a chance. Okay??"

"Gyaaah! No no no awwww!" Rainbow Dash collapsed in a fit of helpless, top-volume laughter. Being ticklish was not one of those things she wanted others to learn about her--but it ran in the family, and it looked like it had carried over to her new body, too.

 

She tried flipped onto her fours and bucking, but that was more awkward than helpful--it did less than nothing, because Dennis simply grabbed her weak kick and pulled her in for more torture. She didn't know how to wrestle with these arms and legs. "Shiiiiiiit..." she squeaked out between gales of laughter.

 

That was it--no one, and no one, tickle-tortured The Real Rainbow Dash for more than five seconds! She had to do something. Rainbow scraped through her tickle-scrambled memory, chancing upon a martial arts video that she'd watched at the recommendation of one of her fans a while back. She hadn't tried it before, but at this point, might be worth a try...

 

Rainbow Dash allowed Dennis to drag her around, letting one leg slip over his shoulders as she spun around to keep her head away from him, though it exposed her armpits. She sucked up the immense tickling sensation until she could use her arms to twist her hips, bringing Dennis down and her on top, with leg folded behind his neck.

 

With the step-by-step care of a girl folding a paper crane, Rainbow locked the ankle of her bent leg under the other. She was sitting just below Dennis' neck, looking down at him. "Hah! Reverse triangle choke!"

 

For a couple moments..."You know, I don't think I'm doing this right," she deadpanned. "You look like you can breathe."
She screwed up her face for a couple moments. "Oh, wait. I think your arms is supposed to be like...on the other side of here. Dammnit."

@@Dawn Stripes, Rainbow Dash ticklish? He discovered something new about her each moment, and this made him even happer. While dragging her around however she surprised him with a martial arts move. Before he knew it she was on top of him... she had done a mistake however... she had left his hands un-guarded, which meant it was time for him to counter-attack.

"Dammit indeed!" he said smirking with satisfaction. During her attempt he was on high alert... mostly because of the extremely fun moments he was having with her. He was full of adrenaline and didn't feel much from Rainbow Dash... his sister was heavier than her and she could carry her on his shoulders. He had already beared her weight on his back...

He dug up a trick he had learned from his teenage years. Back then when all kids his age were passionate about hip-hop and the famous breakdancing that accompanied such music many times. Pressing his hands firmly against the ground he raised his legs almost vertically up and swinged both of them on his right. ((OOC:Sorry if this sounds like godmodding))  Shifting the point of balance the rest of his body followed as he made half a spin backwards. Normally this would make Dash fall backwards and release him from her grip, but he didn't account for her hands. He was also dragged towards her direction and ended up with on top of Rainbow Dash with her back on the ground, him on top... shirtless... ((OOC:Oh... i probably should have made this clearer but i think you already know... since he threw most of the clothes on the shore... he is now shirtless)) 

They were in an akward position and he knew it... but for some moments he couldn't move. God she was gorgeous as a thousand suns... his face became progressively more reddish as he stared into her eyes, his hand moved towards her cheeck aproach it, he wanted to touch her, caress her, kiss her... but it wasn't right... he shouldn't rush this. He didn't want to do something wrong... maybe it was too late to hide his wishes, his desires, or keep his intentions pure. Nevertheless he clenched his hand into a fist and moved it towards his body and backed up from her, but didn't dare to move away much. He was a bit embarrassed and he was blushing a lot...

"I... uhm... *cough*" he coughed "clearing his throat" as he tried to concentrate a bit.

"I... didn't mean to... tickle you that hard." Yes... tickle... that was the right word... oh who was he kidding? What it so bad that he was attracted to her a LOT? Doesn't that come togother with love? He wasn't the one to fall in love simply because of beauty or... arousal... god he felt so dirty right now.

Whipfph! Thump. Rainbow found herself conking her head on the sand, at the wrong end of a clever reversal--maybe not so clever considering all Dennis had to do was buck out, but she found herself once more stuck. She was just about to try shimmying out, and even try to kick him again if the tickle torture got too bad--these were her plans when Dennis suddenly turned red and scooted.

 

"Huh?" Rainbow Dash sat up, the pins and needles draining from her skin. Dennis looked...stressed? She thought back over what had just happened, trying to figure out what was bothering him. He didn't hurt his foot on a shell or something, did he? She remembered the spin--it had mostly been a blur of salty wind for her; what could it have happened?

Dennis had been a little like this once before though--it came to her that he was without his shirt, and maybe for him...she scanned her memories of the internet, and chanced upon the fuzzy recollections of a few pink-bordered movies she of course had never watched because they were all mushy....but of course she had seem some of the covers, and the positions the actors were in. It matched where Dennis had landed her a few seconds before.

Ah. "Well, fuck," she droned, "you had to go make this awkward. I was having fun, too." Nothing for it now. 

 

She stood, staring out at the lake for a few minutes, and letting her hair get pulled back in the wind. Maybe she ought to say something more. Dennis was liable to talk himself into a real slump if she didn't forestall his apology, she suspected, and for whatever reason she didn't want to have to listen to him apologizing for this. "So, water!" she coughed, a little too quickly. "You like swimming? What's that like?"

Rainbow Dash looked up towards the clouds, or at least what she could see of them. Some grey fluff clung to the harbor yet. "Nah, it's okay for now...you're actually makin' me kinda' hungry. Dunno' if I wanna' look at pictures of fish."

 

She blew a puff of air out of her face. "You got a good chapter book about 'em, I might jump for that, though."

 

In a whim, Rainbow Dash wondered if the fog was thick enough to stand on. Probably not, but all the same, she tried taking a few steps out on top of it, as though lifting herself on top of quicksand as Daring Do. Her feet held, hovering over the ground, just barely, sinking almost as fast as she could pump her legs to climb. Running through the geists of clouds in this haphazard manner, she sprinted until she hung several feet over the water of the lake.

 

"So....huff, hufff....you just got...all these stories memorized?" Rainbow looked down. " 'Cause there's like another one every time I hang out with you. You're like Twilight, almost."

But he had to take into account Dash and her own needs... she was a vegetarian, or was she okay to eat meat as a human?

"Well... if you want to eat i'd be more than glad to guide you to the place. Depends however on what you want to eat..."

@, 

 

"Well that's just weird." Rainbow Dash continued pedaling, and, in what she considered a great show of dexterity, spun around on her heel so that she was backpedaling. If she used her arms to tread as well, she could get a little higher, but then it was hard not to have to deal with the cloudstuff pushing down on her from above, too. Only the fog got imperceptibly thinner as it rose--facts drilled into Dash in foalhood--so she still should be getting some lift this way, and indeed she rose above the distant lifeguard tower, sitting empty on the broader stretch of beach.

 

"I mean, how come you guys have stories about stuff in my world? Think about that for a second--that's crazy. Like, how did you know? Did they visit Earth or something, or did the same kinda' animals just exist on Earth at one time? We should ask Fluttershy and stuff, maybe there used to be manticores here. But I wonder..."

Rainbow Dash's musing interrupted the motion of her arms and legs just long enough to stall her focus and take her traction. As though gravity remembered a forgotten item on a checklist, Rainbow Dash plummeted into the lake with a yelp.

 

No more than wordless yells escaped her as an icy shock drove a pick through her bones--"ThiGHF IF COLD!" Then her head when under the brine, came up a second later spitting out a stream of water. "Yagh! I dunno' how to swim!"

@, @@Fireblaze,

 

Pinkie just shook her head in response to Twilight's question. "Well, " she said, "I don't really know how it is. Maybe there's something in the water over here! I mean, I really like Nick a lot. He has the exact same sense of humour as me, and he really likes me for who I am. Dunno what we're gonna do when it's time to go back home."

 

Rarity smiled at Twilight. "I never really believed in it before," she replied. "But it truly was love at first sight! All my life I have waited for my prince to come and sweep me off my hooves, and in Charles, I finally got my wish."

 

Rarity didn't even want to think about what would happen when they went home. She was still hoping that Charles could come with her. Rarity wondered idly what Charles would look like as a stallion, what colour his coat and mane would be and what his cutie mark would be.
