All That Glitters with Rainbows

-Three Month's after Dark Wisp Incident-

Hey, my Name is Blazing Heartbeat, but you can call me Blaze..that's what everyone calls me. Unless you know me really well, then you would call me Nathan. I once was a human, living a regular life on Earth...Wake Up, School, Home to play games, eat, and repeat. Same crap, different day. But that all changed about four months ago.

So, I was teleported here to Equestria, thanks to this thing they call, Elements of Harmony. Apparently, I had the 7th Element somewhere inside of me, which brought me here. It also seemed to bring my house, and my belongings...which was weird. The first pony I met was Pinkie Pie, then I met everypony else later that day.

While I was there, part of me wanted to go back, another part of me stayed. Then...i got to know a certain mare. But that will come later, first off...I was turned into a pony, thanks to the Elements. Now, back to meeting a certain mare. Well, I didn't just meet her, I fell for her too.

Okay okay...her name is Rainbow Dash. Yes, that Rainbow Dash. Don't ask me why I did, I just found...something special in her. SO anyways...I met Rainbow Dash and it all went from there, you know...Colt meets Mare story.

Then finally, there was Dark Wisp...actually you know what, I wont say anything on that subject. You have to learn about that yourself. Besides, most of you should know what happened. Well, that's the story so far, so on we go...

I clicked the button on my laptop. I was looking through the music I had on there, and came on to one I haven't done in a while. '21 Guns eh? I'm going to see if I still remember this song...' I said, as I selected it. I had taken out the drums and the singing from the music. Everything else was playing from a speaker sitting close by me.

I was in this makeshift practice room, full of technology, and my prize possession, a drum set. There was also a small mic set up for when I felt like singing. I don't have much of a singing voice, but it helps me at times when I am practicing a song.

So I sat down at the drum set, sticks in my hands. I right as I sat down, and the song began. The guitar began to play in the background, and before it stopped I took in a deep breath, remembering the song.

Do you know what's worth fighting for?

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away and you feel yourself suffocating?

I opened the drum part with the crash symbol, my hoof beginning its rhythm on the bass drum, and my arms moving, one tapping the hi-hat and my opposite tapping the snare.

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside, you're in ruins

I broke out into the chorus, getting into the rhythm of the song on my drums.. I began to sing the chorus.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the skyyyyyy

You and I...

I closed my eyes as I began to sing the next part of the song, not noticing Dash when she walked in.

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul...
Your faith walks on broken glass and the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last, you're in ruins

I opened my eyes and saw Rainbow Dash sitting there. I stammered at the beginning of the chorus, but I finished it. I then stopped playing and paused the song.

Dash looked at me funny. "Why did you stop? You sounded amazing...I never knew you could sing." She said, walking over to me. I took a drink of water.

"Impossible, I couldn't sound good to save my life. That's why when I sing, I do it when I'm alone..." I began. "Besides, I didn't think I sounded that good...sure I may have thought I sounded better than back on Earth, but not that good." I said to her. I shut my laptop down, finishing my practice.

"Well, it sounded pretty good to me, and I normally don't say that unless someone does have a good singing voice...like Fluttershy." Dash said, turning around and walking out. I followed suit.

Rainbow went into the living room, and sat on the couch. I walked into the kitchen, and flapped my wings to grab a cup. I then flew over and poured a drink, then went to Rainbow, giving it to her. "So, what brings you here Dash? I thought you had duty today?" I asked her.

"Yeah, but it's break time..." She said, pointing to the clock. "I thought you knew it was time..." She said, frowning at me.

I did an awkward laugh. "Yeah..about that. You see...I was drumming and practicing, and I must have lost..." Dash cut me off.

"Yeah yeah..I've heard this story already." She said, pretending to be mad. Then she smiled. "It is so hard to hate you, ya know that?" She asked me.

I laughed. "Yeah, I know. You have said that pretty often as well." I said, smiling. "Well, lets go then, I'm hungry myself." I said, flying towards the door.

Rainbow Dash smiled, and got up to follow me. She walked out and I shut the door, locking it. We then flew into town.

After a wonderful lunch with Rainbow, she took off and went back to work. I stood up, wondering what I was going to do today. Vinyl gave me the day off today, because yesterday was a pretty big party. Everypony was there, and I played a few songs with Vinyl doing her mixing magic.

I walked around aimlessly until I found myself in-front of Twilight's house. I heard her and two other ponies talking. I knocked on the door and it immediately opened. I saw Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie standing, looking at the door. I walked in, Twilight sighing as she shut the door behind me. "I thought you was Rarity..." She said

"What do you need Rarity for?" I asked her. She looked around. "Well, as you know...Rainbow Dash's birthday is in about 2 weeks, and we were planning something. This was the only day we could talk till next weekend, because Rainbow Dash is working today." She explained, I nodded.

"So we are throwing the most awesome-tastic party in the WHOLE WORLD for Dashie!" Pinkie said, jumping up and down in-front of me. Applejack pulled Pinkie down.

"Hush now sugarcube, we aren't sure if Dash is around, she might hear you." She said to Pinkie. Pinkie nodded and pretended to zip her mouth, put a lock on it, locked it with a key, and buried it in the ground.

I smiled, and then Rarity walked in. "Sorry I took so long,I had to take care of Sweetie Bell, and then made sure Rainbow Dash didn't see me...oh hello Blaze." She said, as she walked past me. She set a bag down with some things.

"Whats that Rarity?" Twilight asked her. Rarity beamed at us. "Oh, it's nothing. Just some ideas for what we could do for decorations at her party." She said, dumping the bag.

"Of course..." I said, looking at the items. Glitter, blue cloth, Rainbow Streamers, my she wasn't exaggerating when she said we had things for decoration.

"Okay, so we basically have everything all planned out, except for one thing..." Twilight said. She looked at me, then the other ponies joined her.

"Uhhh, what?" I asked, feeling a bit awkward.

"Distraction..." Was what Twilight simply said. I looked at her.

"Me? Distraction? Rainbow Dash would see right through me!" I said to her.

Applejack laughed. "No Sugarcube, I think you alone are a distraction to Dash..." She said, smiling. "Have you ever seen how she watches you when shes around you? You basically have her eyes no matter where you are. Unless she is doing work, like right now." She added.

"Yeah...okay." I said, turning around. "I'll make a distraction for her...when is the party?" I asked.

"Saturday, two weeks from now..." Twilight said. "Remember that date!" She added, I nodded and walked out.

I walked down to my house, thinking about what I was going to do for Dash's Birthday. I had two weeks to find something to give for Rainbow Dash...and that wasn't long. I walked into my house as the sun was setting. Dash came in about 15 minutes later, so me and her spent time with each other, as usual.

We followed our usual night routine. Both went to sleep...but I stayed up. Something was on my mind, but I couldn't put my hoof on it. I would think about it, but I could never say what it was. Then my mind switched to Dash.

Her Birthday, was in two weeks. She was going to be one year older. I had no idea how old I was on pony years, but I was close to Dash's age, maybe older. Then I shifted to the future...What would be in store for us? What problems...what about... I shook my head, getting that thought out of my head. I shut my eyes and tried to get some sleep.

And thats the beginning of my second story, continuing from the last one. If you haven't read that story...you should read it. You will understand the story better if you do. Well, im running out of things to say...soooo

*crashing noises* Grahhhh, Dashie! Dont break that! Anyways, I may have some conversations at the end of my stories...sine dash and blaze have kinda...moved in.

Anyways, till the next chapter, Peace, Love, and Tolerance
