Author's Note: So sorry for the wait every pony. I had computer problems my laptop got a virus and all this other bad stuff. But lucky for me I got a new laptop for Christmas so everything worked out! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 4: Late Greeting

Slash flew as fast as he could do the center of Ponyville where he would meet Princess Celestia. Rainbow Dash was right behind him.

"Dash, what are you doing here?" asked Slash.

"I came with you cause' I wanted to."

"Well…okay then."

"Where is the Princess?"

"I'm not sure. She should have been here by now."

Just then Celestia showed up with her sister Luna at the center of Ponyville in her chariot.

"Oh there she is." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, at least she's here now." Slash said.

"Ahh, Slash. Is great to see you again," said Princess Celestia.

"It's great to see you too, Princess Celestia." Slash smiled and bowed his head.

"How has you time in Ponyville been so far?"

"It's been very good. I made some new friends and all that."

"And I can see Rainbow Dash is one of them."

"Yep. She's awesome."

Rainbow Dash blushed and turned her head. But was trying to snap out of her fan-girl feelings over Slash. Luckily no pony noticed she was blushing.

"Its always nice to visit my loyal subjects. Even more now that my sister is with me."

"Hello loyal subjects." said Luna.

"Princess Luna?" Rainbow Dash said with a surprised look."

"Hello the one they call, Rainbow Dash."

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to some with my sister to visit the town of Ponyville yet again."

"Wow, who is your sister? Slash asked.

"My name is Princess Luna. Who are you?

"I'm Slash. A new pony in Ponyville."

"Its nice to meet you Slash."

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say Celestia is your sister."

"Well of course, Clestia even said we are sisters not just a few minutes ago."

"Oh yeah. I forgot. But it's nice I get to meet Celestia's sister."

"And it is nice to meet you."

"Rainbow Dash, you been really quiet. Is there something you want to talk about?" Slash asked.

Rainbow Dash was looking at Slash with dreamy eyes and didn't hear what Slash had said.

"Rainbow?"

No answer.

"Rainbow?"

Still no answer.

"Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow Dash then fell out of her trance.

"Um, sure! Yeah! I totally agree with whatever you just said!" Rainbow Dash said nervously.

"I just asked you if there is something up. You been very quiet."

Rainbow Dash blushed and didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Slash, Celestia, or Luna. She had to think of something.

"Um...I'm sick?" Rainbow Dash blushed.

"You don't look sick." Slash blinked.

"Well I just feel kind of sick."

"Well, maybe you should head home. Want me to fly you there?" Slash asked.

"No! I mean I'll fly back myself." Rainbow Dash said nervously.

"You sure?" Slash asked.

"I'm sure."

Rainbow Dash flew her way home and tried not to look back so she could hide her blushing face.

She wanted to find out a way to make sure she doesn't screw up with Slash again. She also wanted to find a way to tell Slash that she had a crush on him. But she was too nervous. This was hard, she never been that nervous ever since she was in the flying competition. She had to find a way to talk to, Slash. But how?

Meanwhile back where Slash, and the Princesses were.

"Well Slash, just to make your say in Poneville even more great. I have a surprise for you," said Princess Clestia.

"Really? What is it?" asked Slash.

"Well just fallow me and I will show you."

Slash fallowed Clestia and Luna to see his surprise they had for him. Then, Clestia showed him a small cottage.

"Welcome to your new home, Slash!" said Clestia.

"Whoa! This is actually my new home?" asked Slash.

"It is. My sister and I decided to get you a place to live for you and your little sister, Sweets."

"Well at lease that will mean Sweets won't be on my case bugging me to get us a home to live in now."

"And I think you will like it," Luna said. "It's a music studio as well, so you can play your box with stings in there!"

"You mean my guitar?"

"Yes, that thing."

"Wow! Thank you so much. It means a lot to me."

"Your very welcome. So now that you have a new home here, what will you do now?"

"Well, maybe I could start a band. Would be nice to play some music with some ponies around here and make some new friends as well."

"Hmm, well if you ask me to who you should ask first to join your band…you should ask Rainbow Dash."

"Oh yeah! I was teaching her how to play guitar! I should go over to her place and keep teaching her!"

"But didn't she say she was sick?" asked Luna.

"Oh, I'm sure she's better by now, Luna." Said Clestia.

"What makes you say that?"

"Just a feeling. Now you fly over to see Rainbow Dash, Slash."

"Will do. Bye, thank you again for the house!"

Slash then flew on to Rainbow Dash's house to continue her guitar lessons.

"Clestia, why do you think Rainbow Dash is already better?" asked Luna.

"Oh, I have a feeling Slash will make her feel better. And I'm sure she will tell Slash about her feelings soon."

"What feelings?"

"I'll tell you later. Come on, we must go back to the castle now."

Clestia and Luna left Ponyville and went back to their castle in Canterlot. Princess Clestia knew exactly what was going on with Rainbow Dash…Luna on the other hoof, did not.
