The stage was set and ready to go. Colette gave Harry and Jack a thumbs up before leading them over to the rest of the Pony Finding group -- calling out to them as it looked like the woman from earlier as about to to take a picture. Colette led Jack into the shot, taking her place beside Fluttershy and posing. "Hope I didn't miss the photo!"

Seeing as Jack and Colette have finally joined in, the twins made their move and joined in as well, Shawn taking Angie by the hand, and Stephen leading Cicada in by wrapping and arm around her shoulders. He took his place next to Diliges, assuming a pose.

"Alright, everyone, say 'cheese!'" The woman said, readying her camera and snapping a photo. "Okay, got it! Now one of just the Ponies. For my granddaughter." The humans left the shot, leaving behind every Equestrian, Rainbow Dash taking front and center as Abernathy expected. She took the photo, giving a thumbs up to the Equestrians and smiling broadly. "Perfect! Thank yoou all! My granddaughter'll love it!"

 

Finally. Abernathy thanked the girls again, inspecting the second photo and deleting the first as she made her way out of the warehouse. Phase One was done. Now on to Phase Two.

 

Abernathy sent a quick text to Agent Burton after getting into her car, then drove off.

Rainbow Dash yawned as the picture dispersed, grabbing a bag of chips as she scratched herself behind the neck and picked her fingernails. Some of the dancers were still running full tilt, but Rainbow Dash was more of a sprinting kind of pony.

"Hey, Dennis," she said, giving him a fist bump. "Lemme' know when you're heading out, okay? I'll help you take your cloud statue home--since, you know...you can't move it an' all...' She shrugged. "Yeah. Not the most convenient thing, now that I think about it. That's okay. Thing won't last forevor anyway. Maybe a few months if you take care of it."

Rarity yawned delicately behind her hand before sneaking a look at her watch. It was nearly three am, definitely time to wrap this party up. Indeed, a lot of people were now collecting coats and bags, prior to leaving the warehouse and some were outside calling taxi companies.

 

Pinkie was grinning as she walked away from the group after the photo. This was most definitely a successful Pinkie Party!

 

Louise sent a message back to Abernathy as she left the warehouse.

 

>See you there. By the way, I took a photo, too. Did you notice the tattered wings and crooked horns that showed up on two of the others? It seems that there are more aliens in the group than previously thought.<

 

Louise was of course referring to the two Changelings. Cicada was still worried about the bad vibes she'd picked up earlier; tho she could sense that two of the sources had left the building. She was determined to keep her guard up.

Looking around, Colette noticed the party begin to wind down. She wrapped her arm around Fluttershy and sighed; she really wanted to get the chance to wow the crowd with some hard rock, but it was getting late. "I really wanted to let loose…" she lamented to her girlfriend as she led her to the doors, stopping and looking to her friends. "Sorry, guys. I really, REALLY wanted to jam with ya, but it looks like it'll have to wait." The boys' faces fell. "We almost never see you anymore." Connor pouted. "Yeah, ever since these Ponies showed up, we haven't heard so much as a note from you!" Maddie added.

 

Colette looked at them sadly. What they size as all true... "Guys, I'm really sorry. But the Ponies have to come first." It broke her heart a little just saying it, but it was true in her mind. "I… I'll Skype you guys! Tell Dennis and Harry I said sorry!" She turned and headed for the door before the conversation went any further. She led Fluttershy to the door, head lowered and silent as she made her way back to the car.

 

"…Did you have fun??" Colette asked as she unlocked the car, stepping over to the driver's side. She Looked up to Fluttershy with a smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. "And are you looking forward to the race tomorrow??"

Jack said his goodbyes to everyone at the party, and instead of staying over at the hotel, he wanted to be at the track as early as possible. Therefore, he decided to stay in a motorhome parked at the campgrounds near the track for the night.

"Catherine," Jack said to his girlfriend, "I'm ditchin' the hotel tonight in favor of a motor home parked at the track. Wanna come with me, or stick with everpony else?"

 

Twilight was relieved in a way that the party was over. Yawning, she was glad that she would be taken away from the temptation of hot dogs, hamburgers, and other vile foods. Letting out a yawn, she made her way behind Colette.

"You know what..." she said in a moaning voice, "I'm just gonna... ride with... you... *yawn*"

Fluttershy nodded quietly, putting her hand on Colette's stomach as they walked side by side to the car. She bit her lip. "Um, I'm...sorry you didn't get to play just yet." Colette seemed so disappointed; Fluttershy couldn't shake the guilty suspicion that it had been canceled because of her.

 

She hated to be a burden to anyone, but...since coming home from Scotland, there hadn't been time to even think about taking care of herself. Everything had been a whirlwind of parties, and fans, and romance, and, and racecars...surely Colette had to be almost out of money by this point. It made Fluttershy feel terrible. Not to mention that everyone kept talking as though they would go home any day...there was that dream...

 

Before Fluttershy realized it her hand had tightened up a swirl of Colette's shirt. She yanked it back with a small gasp. "OhmigoshI'msosorry," she murmured in a blur. "Uh..."
She looked away. "I'll come and listen to you tomorrow--er--whenever you want to play. For as long as you like. And, uh--as loud as you'd like. I'd..." she sucked a breath through her teeth. "I'd like to hear what it's like when you're really loud."

A couple steps punched only by the crunch of old asphalt. "I'll be okay at the race," she said. "It wasn't...mmm...exactly my area of interest, but..." A shrug.

 

There was something in this...something she wanted to do to try and anchor herself to this world. And she wanted to do it right this time. "Colette?" she said, nearly mumbling as she tried to force herself to say it, half-hoping Colette wouldn't notice as she opened the passenger-side front door. "Are there any....schools here in Wisconson. Erm....nursing schools?"

Were the twins fighting over her? Angie doubted it, judging by what Stephen had said. But Shawn did not seem to fully catch that. Or that might have been just how they interacted. She wasn't sure. Until the point where Stephen pretty much confirmed that suspicion. Before she could speak up on it, however, things kicked off, and no sooner had as felt her hand sieges by Shawn, was she dragged onto position. Fortunately for the surprised woman, she had a tendency to be ridiculously photogenic.

 

With all said and done, the photographer taking her leave and the group dispersing, Angie glanced at her hand in Shawn's, before making the silent comment to herself, "Well, this is slightly awkward."

 

Clearing her throat, she subconsciously swung her hands, "Sooo, do we just head home now, oooor..?"

 

That was when she caught sight of Diliges making a very determined walk to Twilight, "Wonder what all that's about?" She asked, "Stephen mentioned that he had something to say to them, and said it might be wise if Logan and I have a listen in. Shall we?"

 

---

 

When the picture was taken, Diliges had not smiled, he kept his arms crossed and didn't look directly at it, his expression remaining dour. Something about this woman still didn't sit well with him. But she was finally leaving, and now was his chance to chase down the Princess. She seemed tired, but that wasn't really one of his concerns right now. So long as was still operational enough to understand what he said and remember it, he was content, "Come on. Now's our chance." He said quickly to Cicada and Stephen.(I've forgotten we're Claire is D: )

 

Without waiting for a response, he took off. Not quite running, but taking long strides that allowed him to close the gap easily enough. Upon reaching the Princess, he caught her by the shoulder, "Miss Sparkle. I hope you'll forgive my abruptness, but there is a matter that I must discuss with you. Now."

 

From his peripheral, he noticed the officer, his dog and Applejack. Snapping his fingers to get their attention, he calls out, "And if you would kindly come over here as well, that would be ideal!"

 

---

 

With everything else out of the way, Logan had begun to lead Applejack out of the structure with the words, "Alright. I suppose we can head out now."

 

They had not made it terribly far before Logan caught someone callin for their attention. The tone of the caller was somewhat urgent. The officer sighed slightly, "Mind if we check this out?"

 

---

 

Catherine, worn out and already half asleep, simply gave Jack a nod before she had fully processed the question. When she realized that a simple nod might be a bit vague, she amended her answer, "I think I may just stay with you. Make things a little easier on everyone involved."

 

---

 

"Should we make a move now?"

 

"No. Still to many witnesses. It'd be to messy and attention grabbing to do it now. We'll stick with the original plan. Wait until Orchestrator and his team have secured the Queen before we strike."

 

"Suppose we ought to leave then?"

 

"Yep. Give Warlord a call, let him know we're heading out."

 

"Will do."

Fluttershy hummed a moment, blushing into the ground and forcing herself to think and breathe. She wanted to move her hand up Colette's chest and snuggle under her chin, but she'd watched other couples carefully--she felt thankful she'd dodged a thunderhead in figuring out that touching a woman's breasts just wasn't done.

She contented herself with holding hands as she waited for Colette to start the car. Colette had ignored her important question, she noticed. She couldn't bring herself to press it. Checking her hair in the overhead mirror, she decided that she'd bring it up again when they got home, and if Colette ignored her...she'd forget about it for now

@@Dawn Stripes, @Hypn0ticD,   Dennis was a tad bit surprised to say the least but he had to follow her. It wasn't just because of this that he wanted to speak to Colette in private... but since Rainbow Dash spoke to her he might as say it. 

"Rainbow! Come on! I mean... oh fine! Look Colette this wasn't the only reason i wanted to speak to you in private. Look i see how you and the rest of the ponies are staying at your house... and i figured i could ease you from some of the work if Rainbow Dash stayed at my place for the night. I mean... i promise i'll bring her first thing in the morning if that is what you wish, and i'm gonna keep in contact with you at all times!" 

He just hoped now that his bravery wouldn't cost him... he knew this was a bold move and the least he could do is claim he did it without any naughty intentions which he would assume Colette would suspect he had. No he did not have any things like "that" in mind he wanted to make sure by being at least serious in his experession.

"Uh.." She spent a quick glance between the four of them. Fluttershy appeared to be pretending not to notice her predicament. Figured. "Look, Dennis. I know..."

It seemed the Princess had an audience. "Do you want me to stay??" Colette asked, poking her head out. "Dun' worry!" Shawn said. "We'll get Twilight home. Ya have our word." Colette smiled at this and started the car. "Good luck, Princess! See ya in a few!"

 

No sooner had she pulled her head back into the car had Rainbow stuck hers in, asking if Dennis could head to the race. "He was at the last one, wasn't he? Why not be at the next one?" She then saw Dennis, and he asked her I'd Rainbow could stay the night. Colette's eyes widened a little at this, but she quickly regained her composure. "If Rainbow wants to stay over at your place, then she can stay over. No need ta ask me!" She then turned her attention back to the rainbow haired Pegasus. "Call me if you want me to pick you up! I know you can work a phone!"

 

With everything said and done, Colette was off and headed back home. "There are quite a few nursing schools in Racine." She said after a breif moment of silence. "Are you… planning on staying here, Fluttershy?" Colette asked, squeezing her hand a little. She spotted the park the were at earlier and pulled into the parking lot. They are only a few minutes away from home, so why not chat for a moment?

 

"I would love for you to stay here and be with me, but what about Equestria? Won't you miss it? What about your friends and family? I'm sure they must miss you terribly!" Colette shook her head and pulled Fluttershy close. "I… I want you to stay, but at the same time, I don't want you to lose hope of going home… it's really confusing to explain, really."

 

Colette fell silent once more, holding Fluttershy close. Was she the only one who thought of the Ponies' return? Was it selfish to want her girlfriend to stay here and live life as a human? She wasn't sure. There WAS an answer, wasn't there?? There had to be!

(OOC: Hooray for misunderstandings)

Rainbow Dash had to pull her head back out of Colette's window in the the time it took the girl to start her car. Rainbow Dash found her only advice to be the back of Colette's tailwind as her replacement vehicle flat-tailed it out of the parking lot in a cloud of exhaust.

She scratched her head as she watched the taillights disappear into the late evening. "Well," Dash squeaked. "She got out of there fast."

 

"So....you can play drums, huh? That's pretty rad. I like bands with drums. We don't have so many back home, but man! Some of the stuff here is awesome. You should teach me sometime--aw, how radical would it be to all play a song together! We could get Colette's junkies and throw down, some, like, Limozeen...ah... " With a cough, she sputtered out.

 

She looked at Dennis, suddenly looking and feeling a lot younger. She kicked some gravel across the parking lot, and spoke in a tone about as hatched as dragging a carton of eggshells across them. "So, I, uh...guess I don't have anywhere else to stay...heh heh. Uh, look, I mean, I don't really wanna'..."

Rainbow Dash took a step back, smiled in a most calamitous grimace at Dennis. Flipped her head this way and that with small wooshes. Twilight and Applejack were just outside having a pow-wow with a couple of the guests. Fluttershy was gone, Rarity was still inside...

 

"Oh---oh what the hell. Why not? But you owe me a car. Which defaults to Colette, 'cause I still owe her a car. Gimme' a sec." Rainbow Dash jogged back to the party warehouse, not a small bit relieved to get the chance to turn her face away for a second so her blood vessels could get anything they wanted out of their system. By the time she was at the door, and the music throbbed back over her, she had regained her composure.

"Hey," she yelled as nonchalantly as she could. "Does anypony have a condom?"

The music scribbled to a stop. A few dozens partygoers turned to look at the entrance and found Rainbow Dash standing halfway inside. Someone dropped a hot dog.

 

Rainbow Dash remained in place, maintaining the most outrageously neutral expression. That ought to show Rarity, she was thinking. And she'd thought Rainbow Dash never listened to her.

 

(OOC: I'm so sorry, Dennis....you're probably mortified. But this was far too good to pass up. You can...you can go correct Rainbow Dash now. And tell her to respect herself. And, uh...to not make assumptions. And maybe a few other things. She's got some issues.

 

BTW guys, I think I just won the RP. Well I guess it was actually a team victory, since nonios was an assist.    )

 

----------------------------------------

 

Fluttershy shrugged. "I'm just..." she squirmed a little, trying not to articulate too much. "I'm not so sure we are going home, Colette. N-no one knows how!" 

A hand drifted onto the parking brake. "I just don't want to be a burden. I really, really, really don't want to be a burden on you." Fluttershy winced under the weight of memory. "I don't know how long I'm going to be here, but I think it might be a while. And I don't want you to have to support me all on your own if I am."

(Well, so much for PDA...next time.)

Twilight blinked tiredly at her assorted audience as they assembled, beseeching her, though they kept a respectable distance. Her focus shifted slightly as she caught sight of Applejack running toward the group-- racing her coltfriend apparently! The Changelings and humans did not share the same happy look the farmer mare, and that made the princess uneasy.

@@Dawn Stripes, @Hypn0ticD, @Pripyat Pony, Dennis was indeed a bit stressed by the proposal and Rainbow Dash seemed to share his stresh. What he did not expect however is for her to just go in the remainder of the party... and yell if someone had a condom. She was not known to be discreet... but this was... He opened his eyes wide like hell and his body seemed to channel all it's heat into his head, which would result as he was sure of it... in a big red blush that continued to be there even when she arrived.

When she came back and while she was questioning him... things went really fast in his head. He seemed to be processing things a billion times faster now that all the blood was going into his brain. Mixed feelings came in mind... he felt a bit... flattered, but mostly shame. On the one hand he liked her, and maybe some time in the future he would want to do something like that... but what he did not want was to take advantage of her. He did afterall remember her definition of love:"It's just friendship with benefits right?". Slowly but steadily his face got a bit more serious remembering the sadness, and perhaps a bit of dissapointment, that he felt when Rainbow Dash said that. He also remembered the moments that followed later when he tried to show her what true love meant, the feelings that went with it... and how he perceived it.

He had to give her an answer "Give me a moment..." he took a deep breath and looked around finding for them a spot where they could stay out of sight from the rest of the crowd and talk a bit in private "Come here... nothing's gonna happen to you. I just want to talk without someone eavesdropping.". When he turned again to face her his face wasn't the one of an angry dissapointed guy, nor the one of a devious rapist. He smiled at her gently while leaning on the wall with his back.

"Look... first things first. I like you... i really do... but i don't think we should rush this. I mean... when i asked Colette if you could stay at my place for the night i did it so you guys weren't so crowded there. But i'll admit... i want to spend time with you... but not in that way, not unless the time is right." as he said that he raised his palm a bit facing her as if motioning her to stop thinking of that.

"You need to respect yourself and your body... and i can't force you to something you are not sure about, if i did that... i would be violating you... and i don't want that." as he said that he moved a bit closer to her offering a gentle smile. Slowly and gently he took her hands and raised them a bit carressing them in his.

"When you understand what love is... when you know how your parents felt when they were together..." he looked at her right in the eyes wanting oh so much to give her another kiss that would last for eternity. "... then you will know the time is right. You won't even be thinking about it at that time... you won't have doubts, misgivings, or misunderstandings. But until then... i'll keep being there with you, i'll be here." as he said that he placed her hands on his chest... should he kiss her? She probably would not... but then again he wasn't gonna force her into something she did not want.

Ever since convincing her father that the Ponies were indeed who they said they were, he had banked in as much overtime as he could to offset the costs of all the various expenses. Colette tried to do the same, but her boss said no. Something about still being a minor and child labor laws? Bull! She was gonna be 18 soon enough! That still left the Ponies…

 

"You've all been a big help around the house -- even Dash! She just doesn't need to cook anymore!" Colette said with a laugh upon remembering the time she let her scramble eggs. "The LAST thing we need is everpone getting sick again!" Colette laughed a little again, then got back on topic. "Yeah, we can definitely look at some nursing schools for ya! And we can look for jobs for the others as well, though I'm pretty sure Dash's found hers!"

 

Colette realized she blithered the entire way home. She pulled into her driveway and got out of the car, getting out and opening the door for her girlfriend. "It's expensive taking you guys in, I admit, but it's worth it. Don't beat yourself up about it, okay??" Colette then offered her hand for the Pegasus. "Now let's go in and make out before bed!" She said with a mischievous wink.
