"And then you bend your wings like this and..." Dash cut herself off as she plunged into a nose dive, leaving a hovering Veronica sighing. Fluttershy and Twilight were on the ground watching, Twilight raising her hoof to her face in exasperation occasionally. Veronica had managed to get a grasp on the basics, which was basically hovering and slow movements. She sighed and finally lowered herself down to the ground, folding her wings closed on her back and walking over to the two on-lookers. "Is she always so...flashy?" She asked.
"Dash means well..." Fluttershy began in her typical calm and quiet tone; "But sometimes she can be quite a bit boastful." Veronica only nodded, looking up at the still flying cyan pegasus, a short rainbow trail following behind her as she zipped through the sky. "She is talented, I'll give her that, her ego could use some work though..." Veronica commented to herself, swishing her newly braided mane to the other side of her neck. Fluttershy had done this earlier on their way to see Rainbow Dash and she quite liked it, it looked better than the unkempt mess it was earlier.
"Wooahhh..." Dash cried suddenly as she crashed into a tree after flying to low. "Ehehe...sorry" She commented, climbing out of the tree and flying down to the trio. "So yeah...thats how to fly." Veronica sighed again and nodded "Thank you, Dash...your teaching was helpful." she lied, she may not have liked Dash's overall demeanor, but she wasn't going to insult her. "Thanks, you need any more help, I'll be around." and with that, Dash took off. Veronica sighed again and looked at the two remaining ponies. "So where to now?"
Jack and Vinyl walked along the main road in Pony-ville, Jack occasionally getting odd glances from ponies, probably due to his not having a cutie mark. They made a couple of stops at various merchant's to pick up various supplies. For what Jack didn't know. After walking for what seemed like an eternity, they returned to Vinyl's place. Setting the large amount of bags in the kitchen, he looked at Vinyl "So what's all this for again?" he asked. "Stuff...you know...the necessities." was the response he got. "Thank you Ms. Vague." he rolled his eyes and grabbed a drink out of the fridge that he was pretty sure was beer. Collapsing on the couch, he sighed, managing to pop the top off with a small amount of magic, which he had managed to figure out a little bit during there trip.
Vinyl watched, hitting the controls on her sound system to put on a low volume trance beat. She plunked down on the couch next to him and took off her sun glasses, rubbing her eyes with a sigh. "I don't know why your tired, I did most of the lifting." Jack commented, taking another swig from what was definitely beer. She rolled her eyes "Who said I was tired, my day has event started yet." Jack looked at the clock on the wall, it read seven o'clock pm. "Its almost night time, what do you mean 'your day hasn't started yet." She smiled; "Silly Jack, I live at night." Jack sighed Great...a night owl he thought, then again so was he, so it wasn't going to be that bad, was it?
Veronica sipped at the tea Fluttershy prepared, they had all agreed it worked best if she stayed with Fluttershy for the time being, and Veronica had started to develop a secret fondness for the shy yellow pegasus, so it was okay with her. Their dinner had been simple but enjoyable, and they were simply enjoying the others company at this point. "So Veronica, what do you think of our little town? If you don't mind my asking..." She was still a little shy, but Fluttershy had gotten used to Veronica by now and was a little more bold than before. "Its a fine town, the ponies here are friendly, but I still miss home..." she sighed.
"I know...but it'll be okay here, your welcome to stay with me as long as you like...if its not a problem with you that is..." Fluttershy said softly, she too had started to develop a small fondness for the purple pegasus and but didn't want to admit it, she was just to shy when it came to things like that. "Um...Veronica...what do you like as far as music?...if you don't...um...mind my asking." Veronica thought to herself for a moment. "Well...I have always been a fan of the more electronic genres, why?" Fluttershy looked at her a little sheepishly, "Well...theres a party tonight at my friend Vinyl's place, she's a DJ and often plays that kind of music...I was wondering...if you want to go...I mean if you want to...if its not to much trouble..." Veronica smiled, "Of course, it sounds like fun."
