Chapter 7: Hmm, Pizza!
"Well regardless of why, are you planning on leaving?" "Well yeah, duh, of course I was" The blue pony replied, her smug attitude had already returned. "I can't be bothered to pet you. I'm going to bed" Mike said, he wasn't in the mood for this at 11:00 at night, as he walked up the stairs, he took off his shirt and tossed it into the kitchen. "But wait! I just wanted to talk! You know, about stuff..." Rainbow blurted. Mike knew what she was doing, and decided to test her. "okay then, you come into the lounge and sit down" he walked into the lounge and sat down on a blue non-leather sofa. "so what do you want to talk about?" Mike said, a sly grin on his face, the kind of grin you get from someone who's just about to call checkmate, or prove you wrong. After Mike turned around, Rainbow noticed his chest, she wasn't a virgin, and had seen every part of a stallion's body, Mike's chest and muscles were much more prominent than any stallion. Regardless, she lied down on a chair next to the sofa; it was very comfy, kind of like clouds. "Well, I like you, and I think you're really cool and stuff, so I wanted to talk about us"
Correction, Mike definitely didn't know what she was doing. "Us?" he replied inquisitively, "I barely know you, the first time we met was yesterday and you stole my food and tried to beat me. "yeah but that's before I knew you were cool" "That isn't the point- "Yes it is, I had no idea you weren't going to eat ME. Anyway, I was just thinking if you'd like to come round to mine for dinner tomorrow" "you're kidding right? He said with a puzzled look on his face. Mike weighed his options. 1: say no until this confounded pony drives him to drink, or 2: say yes and live with just another night of her. "Hmm, are you going to leave me alone if I say no?"
"Probably not" she replied in a fairly dull tone
"Fine I'll go, but afterwards you stop stalking me- "DEAL! I'll come here at 8:00 and take you there, bye!" she practically screamed, she flew outside excitedly, leaving Mike alone with his thoughts. "Goddamnit, crazy bitch is gonna drive me loco, anyway off to bed" he flicked his speaker to play 'be with you' by Enrique Iglesias quietly, and laid there for a while, falling asleep shortly after.
Mike awoke the next day and looked at his alarm clock "11 o'clock! Man I slept in today" He said. He didn't mind it; it was the first peaceful night's sleep since god fucked him over. First he scares everyone by eating a chicken, and then he gets asked out by a crazy Pegasus, I mean what was she thinking? She's a horse! As if it's ever gonna turn into anything worth pursuing. Pushing the thoughts out of his mind, he ran his morning errands, collecting eggs, watering plants and such, and was surprisingly quick; he finished by midday! He sat down and made the staunch realization that he had nothing else to do today, which meant one thing: television. He picked up a copy of Ricky Gervais live IV: Science and started to watch it.
Meanwhile, Twilight was busy learning about every language on earth, not learning the languages themselves, just stuff about them, she was nearing the end of the book, and was actually getting bored, so she decided to see mike, but as she got to the door, a green flame appeared in front of her, revealing a scroll:
Dear Twilight,
I was intrigued about the creature you described in your letter, and checked our historical records for any mention of humans, they are described in some religious prophecies as the destroyers of worlds, however they are written using a strange alphabet we haven't fully, or possibly not even correctly translated, still, this being the case, I request you keep an eye on the matter. I leave it in your hooves, he may not be dangerous, and this is just in case, I have sent records which mention them to you, they should arrive after this letter has been read.
Sincerely yours, Princess Celestia.
As if on cue, another green flame appeared, materializing into files and documents. Twilight sighed and started reading.
Applejack and Macintosh were both on the family farm, it wasn't time for the harvest yet, and tension filled the air, while both were far away, they were thinking about the other's view on mike. Applejacks was uncertain, Mike put it down to Texan Racism, Mac knew mike knew, and put AJ's attitude to her stubbornness, and decided to let her continue until she changed her view, like when she tried to buck the whole farm by herself. Of course that isn't to say Applejack is wrong, Mac could see why she sees him as distrustful, he is a monkey, and he eats meat, but Mac was similar to mike, they were both quite laid back, and they both knew a thing or two about economics. And farming. But still, Applejack was acting hideously around mike. He decided to talk to her. Tomorrow.
Mike continued chewing through films, he'd gone through Battle: Los Angeles, which he loved, and skyline; not so much. Next up was. Wait. Now he'd seen every film in the house, he checked the clock; 7:50 "Shit!" he shouted, he rushed upstairs to shower and put on some clothes, which he did in 7 minutes, the result was a normal-smelling Mike with a new soviet shirt and some beige non-leather jeans. Knock! Mike sucked in his gut, and opened the door: there stood Dash, in all her annoying glory, with better-looking hair that retained its shape, and a much cleaner coat. Mike was surprised; she'd paid attention to herself, but only to the obvious parts. He liked that. "so are you ready" she asked merrily, opening her wings to get there quicker. "Wait, you're flying me there? Where are we going?" he asked, somewhat confused. "My house, silly, I live in the sky! Duh!" "Okay, I'll ride you there" Mike mounted rainbow the way one would a horse to ride (you filthy-minded readers, you). Rainbow was surprised, but she welcomed it, spreading her wings she started flying to her house.
When they got there, they hit a snag "what! How am I supposed to stand on a cloud!" He asked. "Oh, I may have forgotten that part, hehe" Mike's face just sank. "Twilight does it with her magic, maybe we could ask her" She asked nervously. "No! Wait, magic? One second" Mike pointed his left hand towards the clouds, both became engulfed in a Tan aura, the light dissipated and mike hopped onto the cloud. "WOW! You can do magic! That's so awesome!" "Yeah it is, isn't it?" Mike replied. Dashes recovered and lead Mike inside, to which he marvelled at the Entirely Cloud-composed house. "Did you build this?" "Of course I did, I'm the master of the Clouds!" Rainbow said back, once again with the irritating smugness. Regardless, she showed Mike the house, the kitchen, toilets, bedroom, dining room etc... "this is where I eat, so you can sit down and I'll go get dinner ready" Rainbow bolted into the kitchen, mike sat down on the cloud chair, wondering how this is scientifically possible, if it is. Dash returned in about 20 minutes with a plate of Pizza. "Pizza? How'd you make that?" "well I did take a cookbook from your house" Mike gave her a 'naughty pony' look and she sat down. "so mike, what was your favourite part of the day?" "Well, if I'm honest, the sunset. The sun is much more useful, but the night is so much more beautiful, and one is useless without the other" "Well mine was when you did that magic thing. IT WAS AWESOME! I mean how'd you learn to do that?" "it's quite easy, just a shitload of patience and Lots of concentration" Mike smiled slightly, Dash was annoying, but her company Was mildly amusing.
Twilight laid down the last file, she couldn't understand any of it, she got destroyer of worlds, but that's about it. She didn't view Mike as any less kind, or any more threatening, or... Attractive? What? No! She didn't think of mike like that, did she? She decided to go and talk to Rarity, she would know about such things. Rarity opened the door, and there stood "Twilight, darling! Come in, you'll catch your death of cold!" "thanks Rarity, I wanted to ask you something" Twilight said, Rarity seemed unphased as she quickly cleaned up twilight's mane, leaving it just as it was before she left. "What did you want to ask me, dear?" "well, I think I like mike" she said nervously. "That's all? I like him too, dear" "what? You do?" "of course Twilight, darling, he does seem a bit exotic doesn't he? Certainly the type you have a perfect romantic evening with" Twilight needed to process this. "Okay, well thanks rarity, I've got to go check on spike though" she lied. She left anyway, leaving the white mare to stitch, or something.
Meanwhile in Rainbow's cloud home, she and mike were just finishing the meal. "Well that wasn't bad" mike chuckled, he wasn't lying, but he wasn't keen on the idea of staying the night. "Thanks! Do you want to stay here a while before you go home? I have this killer Massage technique" Mike didn't know if that was normal for a tomboy horse or not. "Well I am feeling drowsy; I suppose I could- "awesome! I'll show you where to lie down" mike reluctantly got up; he was feeling quite tired actually. Dash lead him to a cloud chair he promptly lied in. He felt Dash's hooves glide across his shoulders, softly at first, but then she pressed down strongly, pinning him to the chair. "Whoa what are you doing?" he asked, startled. "You silly-filly, you didn't think I'd Just have dinner, did you?" Mike suddenly realized what she wanted, she got closer to him, and he pushed her away as best he could, but he wasn't as strong as he thought. "What did you put in that food?" he asked. "Just a mild sleeping aid, I wouldn't worry, you do need some energy after all"
I wish I could tell you that Mike fought the good fight, and that Rainbow let him be. I Wish I could tell you that, but I can't, even though Equestria is a fairy tale world.
That night Twilight lay awake most of the night, thinking about how she would approach mike tomorrow, and what rarity was planning on doing, other than that, everyone slept soundly, oblivious to what was going on... upstairs.
OOOH PLOT TWIST! Anyway I'm gonna cut it here and leave you with a choice, I could write a short chapter describing rainbow and mike's remaining evening, or I could leave it as is. I leave it in your capable hands, Review or PM me, and the majority vote will win. Have a good'un chaps, and goodbye till next chapter.
