You would think the day bright, and clear as it is, would have Rainbow Dash performing aero stunts, or speeding about the clouds as fast as possible, and you’d be right, normally she would be…but today Rainbow_Dash is standing in her living room, looking at the clouds beneath her hooves curiously- almost fixated, really.."Ok Rainbow...you got up here. This flying thing is a piece of cake. You've done this before. No sweat." She squeaks.
A streak of red and white zips about. It circles the cloud house a few times before coming in for a landing with a few little hops and she trots over to the door. *Knockknock*
There's a SCREAM of shock at the knock from inside the cloudhouse that echos for a few moments before all goes silent again. After alooooong few tentitive seconds, the door creaks open ever so slightly, and Rainbow pokes her head out. "Y, yes? Hello? Oh! Oh, I know you...uh....uuuhm....Baaaarny...Hey, uh, Barny...uh...dude. Whats the haps?" She stammers.
At the Scream, Stormy nearly hops through a window to see what's going on, but soon the door opens up. Seeing Rainbow being all timid-ish, her head tilts, "Ah, hey, I was just coming by for a visit. Checking up on you..." She squints, "Are you ok...?"
Rainbow_Dash nods her head immediately. "Yes! I, I'm fine, da- err...dude. I'm...I'm fine! How are you? Well, thanks for dropping bye! Need to be going now! I've got a lot of...uh, training, I gotta catch up on. Always training to be part of the Wonderbolts! "The mare quips and tries to shut the door.
Barnstormer puts a hoof in the door and tries to nudge in. "No, somethings the matter with you," she says, trying to push her way forward. "So tell me what's up," she frowns, ears flicking back. "Is this about Blue?"
Rainbow_Dash's ears perk instantly and she stumbles back onto her rump at the name Bluestreak. OH, dear this is getting more entangled by the minute."What?! No! No! I'm, I'm fine! Everything is fine! Up here. Way up in the clouds. In my house. Where I live. Yes. We're fine! It's fine. Everything is fine, really it is! "She explains and points to the living room. "See? Nothing out of place. Nothings wrong. Everything is uh...super coolsville. I'm just, mac daddy chillin out. Homefry. "She stutters and walks nervously towards her couch, where she tentatively eases herself down onto it. As if she were worried it would explode underneath her.
Barnstormer trots on in, looking around a moment before looking at Dash. She starts to worry as her friends starts to speak. "Are you ok? Maaaybe we should get a doctor for you," she says. "You're talking really, really weirdly." Her tail flicks once and she looks around. "And acting really, really weirdly."
Rainbow_Dash sighs a moment, opens her mouth, then shuts it. Pauses, and lifts up her arms. "Ok. I've had a LOT on my mind lately. Wasn't paying attention, crashed hardcore into a building. Super embarrassing. Head first, and since then, been feelin kinda woozy. "She sighs. "But YOU don't say anything to anypony! I am NOT going to the doctors, and I am NOT missing my dance! But I've never EVER crashed like that before. "She explains and collapses back onto the couch. "Ever." And the Oscar goes too…
As if almost on cue the front door pops open to reveal the beformentioned blue stallion, saddlebag strapped over his broad back. Upon seeing his roommate and friend here he freezes just a little, but eventually gives both of them a quick nod before quietly stepping through the living room in the direction towards his bedroom.
Headtilting, Stormer listens a moment. "Well if you're feeling woozy you should probably go see a doc to make sure nothing's knocked loose," she says, worriedly. She trots over, pushing Dash's nose down a bit and starts examining her head some, pushing the rainbow mane one way, then the other as if she knows what she's doing, which would be odd, right? "Missing your dance?" she asks, "And yeah, everyone crashes sometimes," she says with a low sound. "It happens, we get back up in the air."
Rainbow_Dash winces and squirms at the touch of her hoove against her head and shies back. "Ow, OW! Do be carfu- I mean, watch it! Ugh. I don't know what's come over me lately. I mean, It's just, like, I'm ..."She looks around quietly. " I dunno. "She mutters. Scared to fly? Rainbow Dash? Hardly! When she takes note of Bluestreak she sinks into the couch and covers her face with a pillow. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.
Barnstormer pokes around for bruises, knots and signs of crashiness. She frowns a bit, then just gives the mane a light tug and says, "All the more reason to go to the doctor," she says with a firm nod. "Could take you to the one we use in Cloudsdale, or my dad's in Canterlot." Maybe that'll help her out. She looks over to the entering BlueStreak, "Hey Blue. Oh, you know, maybe you two should talk.".
The sound of pain from his roommate makes him throw his saddlebag down infront of his door and then come running, flitting over and landing beside the couch and looking on in a panic. "What's wrong!? Dash, you ok!?" He slips onto the couch to sit beside the rainbow-maned mare and wrapping a comforting foreleg around her and looking to Barn in a panic.
Rainbow_Dash sits up and crosses her arms with a snort. "I SAID I'm fine. Just, you know, everybody cool out. "She snaps, reached up to hold her head and grumbles. "Chill out. I mean, just, chill. "She mumbles and takes a deep breath. "Uh, Blue, we should talk. I'm not feelin so well, so this'll be quick. Barny, give us a minute, if you please, dear, dude! I meant, dude. I mean...ugh, my head. Just gimmie a minute!" She snaps.
Barnstormer squints a bit. "Are you ...sure? Maybe I should go get the doctor anyway. You're acting really weird." She's really now just worried her friend's had a stroke or something. Would explain the crash. Ponderponder. Also, when did she start getting called "Barny?" Very strange. Still, she shrugs, "Yeah ok," she says, "I'll just...trot off to the kitchen." And she does.
( Once Barnstormer leaves the stallion slips his arm away and scoots further down the couch to give her some space, ears perking as she now has his full attention with a hoof reaching over to pat the mare's hoof. "You're stumbling over your words, Dash.. What did you do?" )
Rainbow_Dash sits at the edge of the couch and takes a deeeeeep breath. "OK. You n' me. Us. This uh, this thing we've got. I don't know what it is, but I'm not ready for it. Ok? The love thing? That freaked me out. Don't SAY that sorta stuff to me. I mean, I can clear the clouds in ten seconds flat, but this- this is too fast, even for me. OK?" She sighs. "You've been driving me CRAZY...I've been thinkin about you all day and it's why I slammed into that ...thing that I hit and, now everything is just messed up. "She sniffs and buries her head in her hooves. "Just lemme figure this out, ok?" And the Oscar goes to….
"I know, trust me I know. Believe me, I regretted it.. I'm so sorry." He lets out a sigh, scooting close to the mare again and pulling her in close against him and stroking lightly down her side.. As soon as she mentions her crash he goes into doctor mode, brows furrowing a little in worry. "Dash, I need you to be completely honest with me.. Throw your stubborn pride aside for a moment and answer me truthfully, ok?"
Rainbow_Dash's eyes widen when she's tugged close like that. What did she JUST say? Those big, powerful arms, squeezing her, crushing her... is it getting hot in here? "Wh, wha...uh, what? Honest. Yeah. Sure. I'm Honest. Actually, that's Apple Jacks thing, d, do you want me to fetch her?" She grins.
"No, no jokes." He pulls away and holds his hooves to her chin, turning her head so his eyes can meet her own and looking from one eye to the other. "This is serious.. I've been through a few nasty crashes myself and was in the hospital for a day for one of them because I had a concussion.. I was dizzy, confused, stumbled over words.."
Rainbow_Dash's mouth opens, and then shuts. "I...I'm fine. I'm just fine. It's hot in here. Isn't it hot to you? I'm...I'm really hot. I should go get some fresh air. "She says quickly, and tries to pull herself out of the stallions strong embrace. "Really! I'm fine! I've got some stuff to do! Gonna head to the library, and you've got to go get ready for the dance. Err, party. It's a...dance party? You're taking me, right? I mean, we're still gonna do that, right? I think you'd look simply smashing in scarlet! ...Hey, I gotta go, look at the time! "And with that, she slips his hold, and trots towards the door- staggers, really.
Barnstormer slips in from the Kitchen, "I think I need to go for a bit," she says. She looks around at what's going on. "Sorry, I thought I just remembered I needed to run an errand." She looks at the pair, "I'll come back by later. Or tomorrow. Don't forget, Dash, that thing with my Dad's in a few days," she says, "Uh and it's really formal dress. I don't know if you can get something quality in Ponyville, so let me know if you need me to find you someone to make a dress if you don't have one already."
Rainbow_Dash pauses midstep towards the door. "Oh, no way! I've got it covered! Rarity is awesome at making dresses! I'll totally go and pick one up from her! Everything she does is quality! She's probably the most intelligent, and sohpi-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" And out the door she goes, having forgot to flap her wings. Maybe she hit her head harder than she thought.
The door is completely obliterated as Bluestreak plows through it after hearing the mare's yell, wings flapping as fast as they can take him as he rockets down towards his plummeting roommate.

"She snaps, and wriggles out of his grasp the moment they're close enough to the ground for her to leap from his arms. "I TOLD you guys, I'm fine! I didn't hit my head THAT hard.

Impressive and mind-boggling on the outside, chaotic and overflowing on the inside, this is the Ponyville Library. It's not hard to see why townfolks occasionally call it "Books and Branches"--the structure is built entirely out of a broad-trunked, hardwood tree! Though most of its innards have been hollowed out, this tree is clearly somehow still alive, as thick green foliage covers the roof and rims the upper windows.
The lower level has a central room with a circulation desk, an equine bust on a pedestal, and books on every wall--it's not uncommon to see them heaped haphazardly in a pile. There's a kitchen and a pantry used by residents of the library--currently Twilight Sparkle, the princess's star pupil, and her dragon assistant, Spike.
The upper levels are dizzyingly irregular, built as they are along branches of the tree. Two overhangs are furnished with moss canopies. The upper levels are also packed with books that appear constantly about to pop out of place. They seem to be organized somehow, but it may be a good idea to ask the librarian if you need something in particular.
Finally, the top levels of the tree feature a bathroom and bedroom for permanent residents, along with an observation balcony on which sits a trusty telescope. The overall mood of the library is intellectually inspiring, venerable, and just a little insane.
Rainbow_Dash opens the door to the library and pokes her head in. Looks like Twilight's out for the day. Good. Now to get down to work. She has GOT to find that book she used in this…mishap. She slips in quietly, hoping to pull herself away long enough to get some reading in before she has to make an appearance back in Cloudsdale. "
<OOC> You say, "?"
<OOC> Bluestreak says, "Dash wouldn't say "smashing".
"
<OOC> You say, "I totally say Smashing all the time. After SMASHING into something!"
Before the door has a chance to close a blue hoof taps it and pushes it back open, stepping through and closing it behind him with a bump of his hip. "Dash..", he starts, taking a couple steps forward. "You need to see a doctor."
Rainbow_Dash covers her face with a hoof and GROANS. "Bluestreak. Dude. I told you before. I, am, FINE! OK? I just came over here to do some reading. That's IT. Do you know how hard it is to get some Daring Do reading in when everybody thinks your anti-egg head? I've been craving chapter seven since yesterday. But I haven't gotten any time to read. But uh, that thing about us, still stands...bro. "She says and pushes Streak with a hoof. "But you're cute, don't worry, you'll find some filly soon enough...
With a look of anger, and a side of distrust, Bluestreak turns towards the door with a snort. “I’m sure you will too.” He says, coldly.
Rainbow_Dash's ears droop immediately and she suddenly looks like she's about to panic. She zips forward- stumbles, collapses, and zips forward again, bracing herself against the exit with a wiiiiii-i-i-i-ide grin. "Ha,ha,ha, Bluestreak! We're, erm, still friends right Dar-d, dude?! We're still friends? I wouldn't dream of losing any friends of Rai...Iiiii, My, My, friends! That would be absolutely .................bogus. Yes. How, about, I, um, head off to the doctor, like you asked? I think I have a concussion. You're right darling. Dear. Dude! You're right. ...dude. It's totally uncool!" She grins. Widely.
Bluestreak's lip pulls tight as he looks down at the cyan mare, icy blue eyes searching her own as the gears begin to turn and his suspicions continue to build. He slooowly leans forward, nose hovering mere centimers away from her own. "How did we first meet?"
Rainbow_Dash blinks momentarily and flashes a sheepish, immediate grin, and reaches a hoof up to her head. "Ugh...startin to get woozy again. Y, you were right Bluestreak, I am in dire need of a doctor! There really IS something wrong with me. Oh, Bluestreak...I'm getting a dreadful headache! So dizzy! I'm feelin sick! Think I'm gonna..."She gasps, and turns to exit the library as fast as she entered!
*YOINK*, that flash of rainbow-tail is quickly snagged by the male's powerful jaws and pulling her back away from the exit, and now it's HIS turn to zip around the mare and stand infront the exit with his wings flared outward and looking.. well, none too pleased. "The TRUTH.." A forehoof lifts and stomps down against the floor to add an exclamation point to the next word, eyes almost a flame. "NOW!"
Rainbow_Dash shies back nervously. "T, the truth? Um...yes...well you see, the truth is...I..uh..."She pauses, panics, and suddenly, leans in for a very passionate, very impromtu kiss! "MMmmmm, I said you make me crazy, didn't I?" She asks in a husky whisper. "You've been making my head spin round...don't know what I'm doin anymore. I've been begging Rarity for help, and she was supposed to enchant me to say the right things, but the right words didn't come out and I just don't know what to do. I'm...I'm sorry. "She says quickly, turning away, hooves coving her eyes. And the award for best performance goes too…
Bluestreak blinks in shock after the heavy kiss, coughing just a little and
flopping onto his rump as he stares. "Enchant you, wha..?" He frowns, biting into his lower lip with a heavy sigh and dropping his eyes to the floor. "..I did this. I'm responsible for this.. Dash, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. If.. if you want me to move out I will, I don't want you to be hurt by me anymore."
Rainbow_Dash dashes out the door as SOON as he lets his guard down! "I forgive you, it's cool!" She shouts, racing off like a bolt of blue! "I gotta get my head examined!(Boy, does she ever!) I'll see you back at home!!" She calls!
A streak of red and white zips about. It circles the cloud house a few times before coming in for a landing with a few little hops and she trots over to the door. *Knockknock*
There's a SCREAM of shock at the knock from inside the cloudhouse that echos for a few moments before all goes silent again.

Oh, I know you...uh....uuuhm....Baaaarny...Hey, uh, Barny...uh...dude. Whats the haps?" She stammers.
At the Scream, Stormy nearly hops through a window to see what's going on, but soon the door opens up. Seeing Rainbow being all timid-ish, her head tilts, "Ah, hey, I was just coming by for a visit. Checking up on you..." She squints, "Are you ok...?"

Nothings wrong. Everything is uh...super coolsville. I'm just, mac daddy chillin out. Homefry. "She stutters and walks nervously towards her couch, where she tentatively eases herself down onto it. As if she were worried it would explode underneath her.
Barnstormer trots on in, looking around a moment before looking at Dash. She starts to worry as her friends starts to speak. "Are you ok? Maaaybe we should get a doctor for you," she says.

Rainbow_Dash's ears droop immediately and she suddenly looks like she's about to panic. She zips forward- stumbles, collapses, and zips forward again, bracing herself against the exit with a wiiiiii-i-i-i-ide grin. "Ha,ha,ha, Bluestreak! We're, erm, still friends right Dar-d, dude?! We're still friends? I wouldn't dream of losing any friends of Rai...Iiiii, My, My, friends! That would be absolutely .................bogus. Yes. How, about, I, um, head off to the doctor, like you asked? I think I have a concussion. You're right darling. Dear. Dude! You're right. ...dude. It's totally uncool!" She grins. Widely.
Bluestreak's lip pulls tight as he looks down at the cyan mare, icy blue eyes searching her own as the gears begin to turn and his suspicions continue to build. He slooowly leans forward, nose hovering mere centimers away from her own. "How did we first meet?"
Rainbow_Dash blinks momentarily and flashes a sheepish, immediate grin, and reaches a hoof up to her head. "Ugh...startin to get woozy again. Y, you were right Bluestreak, I am in dire need of a doctor! There really IS something wrong with me. Oh, Bluestreak...I'm getting a dreadful headache! So dizzy! I'm feelin sick! Think I'm gonna..."She gasps, and turns to exit the library as fast as she entered!
*YOINK*, that flash of rainbow-tail is quickly snagged by the male's powerful jaws and pulling her back away from the exit, and now it's HIS turn to zip around the mare and stand infront the exit with his wings flared outward and looking.. well, none too pleased. "The TRUTH.." A forehoof lifts and stomps down against the floor to add an exclamation point to the next word, eyes almost a flame. "NOW!"
Rainbow_Dash shies back nervously. "T, the truth? Um...yes...well you see, the truth is...I..uh..."She pauses, panics, and suddenly, leans in for a very passionate, very impromtu kiss! "MMmmmm, I said you make me crazy, didn't I?" She asks in a husky whisper. "You've been making my head spin round...don't know what I'm doin anymore. I've been begging Rarity for help, and she was supposed to enchant me to say the right things, but the right words didn't come out and I just don't know what to do. I'm...I'm sorry. "She says quickly, turning away, hooves coving her eyes. And the award for best performance goes too…
Bluestreak blinks in shock after the heavy kiss, coughing just a little and
flopping onto his rump as he stares. "Enchant you, wha..?" He frowns, biting into his lower lip with a heavy sigh and dropping his eyes to the floor. "..I did this. I'm responsible for this.. Dash, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. If.. if you want me to move out I will, I don't want you to be hurt by me anymore."
Rainbow_Dash dashes out the door as SOON as he lets his guard down! "I forgive you, it's cool!" She shouts, racing off like a bolt of blue! "I gotta get my head examined!(Boy, does she ever!) I'll see you back at home!!" She calls!
