Just then, a bright flash blinded the both of us. "You two are so adorable!" Pinkie's voice screamed from somewhere in front of us. My eyes cleared after a minute and I saw Pinkie standing there smiling at me with a camera that had a giant flasher on it. "Holy Celestia, Pinkie. Were you trying to blind us?" Dash asked. "No, I just needed the lighting to be right." She said. "Well, maybe go with a less blinding flash next time." I said. "Okie dokie loki." Pinkie replied. "Oh, you guys want to come to Twilight's birthday party?" She asked. "Shit, was that today?" Dash asked. "It starting right now." Pinkie said. "Let's go then. I need to talk to her anyway." I said. "Come on then." Pinkie said as she hopped away. We followed her to a big bakery with pink painted walls. We entered and saw that everyone was already there. They all gasped when they saw Dash and me. Twilight came over. "It's so good to see you smile, Dash." She said as she gave her friend a hug. "Jet. What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be reassigned. Not that I'm not happy to see you." She said. "I'll explain later. Let's just enjoy the party. Happy Birthday, by the way." I said. "Thanks. You guys want some cake?" She asked. "Sure." Dash replied. Pinkie appeared beside us holding two plates with cake on them. The cake was the same purple as Twilight's hair with pink frosting. It tasted like velvet cake. "How y'all doin' now that yer back wit' Dash?" AJ asked. "A lot better AJ, thanks for asking. "Ya' know, she was so broken hearted wit' out y'all around. She couldn't even bring herself to practice any of her stunts for the Wonderbolts." She said. "Well, that won't be a problem now. Because I'm here to stay." I said. "Well, that's good to hear. I'll talk ta' y'all later." AJ said as she disappeared into the crowd. Rarity came over and hugged both of us. "You know, you two do make a very cute couple, darling." She said. "Thanks, Rarity." I replied. "If you two ever tie the knot, you simply must let me design the wardrobe." She said. "Yea, and let me plan the party!" Pinkie screamed at my left side. "I wouldn't have it any other way. Also, ow! I think I may be deaf in my left ear now." I said. "Sorry." Pinkie said. "That's okay. Just watch the volume next time." I said. "I have the perfect designs already in mind for your wedding day." Rarity said. "Well, don't go getting ahead of yourself Rarity, we may not end up getting married." I said. "Puh-lease. A love as true as what the two of you have. It would be a crime to not get married." Rarity said. "Well, even if we do. I have one rule." Dash said. "What's that, darling?" Rarity asked. "No dresses." Dash said. "But, it's your wedding day. You must wear a dress. Surely you could stand to wear a dress for one evening." Rarity said. Dash looked at me and I just shrugged.
"Okay, fine. But, it better not be super fucking girly." Dash said. "Fine. I will rethink a dress for you." Rarity said as someone called her name in the crowd. "Sorry, darling. I must be going. Remember, if you decide to tie the knot, let me know." She said as she disappeared into the crowd. "So, how do you like the party?" Pinkie asked. "It's really good. I like the music, is that Dubstep?" I asked. "I don't know. You'd have to ask the DJ, Vinyl Scratch." She said as she pointed to a DJ booth that had a unicorn behind it. She had spiky blue hair that was striped with light and dark blue. She wore jeans and a loose fitting T-shirt that read, 'DJ Pon-3' and had a musical note on it. "I might do that later. I just want to spend some time with my Dashie right now." I said. "Okie dokie loki." Pinkie said as she joined the crowd. "Hello Rainbow Dash." Someone said quietly from beside us. I turned to see Fluttershy standing there looking at the floor. "Hey, Fluttershy. How have you been." I asked. She looked up at me and smiled. "I've been good, but better now that Dash is happy." She said a little louder this time. "Yea. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." I said. "That's good. I don't like it when Dash is sad. It's not the same in Ponyville." She said. "Yea, I'm not letting him go again." Dash said. "You two do seem happy together." Fluttershy said as she too joined the crowd. "Well, everybody seems to like the fact that we're together." I said. "Yea. I think they're mostly surprised to see that I'm actually with someone." Dash said as we headed to the dance floor. "What do you mean?" I asked as we started to dance. "Well, I've really been the romantic type. Everyone thought I would just be alone forever." She replied. "That's kind of harsh." I said. "Well, to be honest, until I met you I never thought I'd find love. Every guy I went out with was just so lame and never supported my dream of being a Wonderbolt." She said. "Well, you don't have to worry about me not supporting you. I think you'd make a great Wonderbolt." I said. "And, that's why I love you. Now, shut up and let's dance." She said. We danced until everyone started leaving the party. We headed out too. "Bye Dash! Bye Jet!" Pinkie yelled after us. "Bye Pinkie. Great party tonight." We said together. We started to fly off. "So, where are you staying at, now that you live in Ponyville?" Dash asked. "Well, the princess offered me a room at the castle. So, I guess there." I said. "Like hell, you'll stay with me and you'll like it." She said. "Well, well. Look who turned into a bossy pegasus all of the sudden." I said with a smile. "Well, I already thought I lost to once. I won't let you leave me again. So, come on." She said as she pulled me toward her house. "Here we are. Home sweet home." She said as we approached a two-story cloud house floating above the town. "Very nice." I said as we landed in front of the door. We walked in and something hit me in the head. I fell to the ground, dazed.
