Ch. 4 Honeymoon Crash

It had been over a month when things were where they seemed to relax a bit with each other. Rainbowdash was reading a book when Pinkie Pie came home and slammed the door. "Not a good day today Pinkie?" Rainbowdash asked. "It's hard to smiling and happy when some ponies seem to act differently around you." Pinkie Pie told Rainbow. "Come to the couch please." Rainbowdash requested. Pinkie went over onto the couch and leaned her head on Rainbow's shoulder. "You shouldn't let the other ponies get to you. I know I had a pony called me a freak. I didn't care though because it's none of their business." She told Pinkie and moved some of her mane aside to see her face.

At dinner time Pinkie Pie was cooking something delicious. Rainbowdash walked in and said, "We're having that again?" "What's that suppose to mean Rainbowdash?" Pinkie a little annoyed. "It'd be good like once a month or something you know." Pinkie tapped her hoove and said as calmly as possible, "So you don't want to eat what I've cooked for dinner?" "Well you cooked it and we should eat it." Rainbow told her. "You've said it's your favorite and now you're tired of it for some reason. It's not like every day. Like once a week Rainbowdash and you decide to tell me this after my rough day at work." Rainbowdash had an exasperated sigh and said, "Pinkie Pie, don't worry about it. Lets just have a peaceful dinner and we can go to the rooftop to look at the stars."

They were eating dinner and it was very quiet and the tension couldn't cut with a butter knife. Rainbow didn't want to offend Pinkie Pie anymore. "It's great Pinkie. Very delicious." She told her. "Rainbowdash, I didn't want you to lie to me. It's just that you're tired of it. You'll eat it anyways just to make me feel better." Pinkie Pie getting agitated. "Pinkie, why are you taking it out on me?" Rainbow questioned. "You want me to see me take it out on you?" Pinkie Pie questioned her. She pushed her plate and glass off the table and said, "I'm done. Good night." Rainbowdash was worried about her and it seemed like their honeymoon period was coming to a crashing halt.

After Rainbowdash finished and cleaned up the mess. She went to the bedroom and saw Pinkie with her back turned away from Rainbowdash's side. Rainbow let out a sad sigh but it was just out of concern for her love. She climbed into bed and put her arm around Pinkie. Whispering quietly so she wouldn't wake her up. "I'm really sorry Pinkie, things will get better. Just know that I will always love you. No one could ever take that away from you. I love you Pinkie." Rainbow started to fall asleep and Pinkie was quietly listening. A tear ran down her cheek and she turned around to hold Rainbowdash. She lightly nuzzled her and whispered quietly, "I love you Dashie."

A week later, Rainbowdash came home to find Pinkie Pie lying face down on the couch. "Pinkie? Why are you home so early?" She lifted her face to Rainbowdash to show she had been crying for a while. She rushed over to Pinkie and said, "Pinkie Pie, tell me what happened." She turned her face to the side and tears welled up. "People are so mean. I served this one pony and when she was going to tell how good I served her till…till…" Rainbowdash then said, "Till what Pinkie?" She broke out to tears saying, "Till she knew who I was and threw her baked good at me." "What's her name? What did she look like? I'll deal with this." Rainbowdash said angrily. "Dashie, my boss gave me the rest of the day off so I didn't break down there. Don't do anything you'll regret."

Their friends came over to help Pinkie Pie with what happened. "Ponies can be so stupid sometimes. Something that isn't the norm is considered bad or disgusting." Twilight a little fired up. "Oh darling, people don't understand what you two have. A relationship with love and adoration." Rarity said understandable. Pinkie cuddled up to Rainbowdash, "You guys don't have to face this stigma." "Pinkie, we should teach people that there's nothing wrong when it comes to love between two ponies. Even if they're both girls." Twilight suggested strongly. "You think we could just have time to think about things." Rainbowdash told the others. "Do you want me to watch Gummy and Tank for you guys?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes please." Pinkie answered.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbowdash were lying in bed. Rainbowdash went off for a moment and brought back the scarf Pinkie made her. "I want you to wear this. It'll give you some of my courage." She told her. "Dashie, I know I could smell your scent on this. It always comforting to me to smell you you know." Rainbowdash nodded and kissed her gently. Pinkie smiled and said, "Thank you." They were staring into each-others eyes and both of them fell asleep.

Rainbowdash had prepared breakfast for the both of them. "Dashie, you made my favorite breakfast. I'm so glad you're here for me." Pinkie brightened up. As they ate when Rainbowdash started to talk. "Pinkie Pie, why don't you take a week off from work. Maybe I could work more for both of us." "Rainbowdash, we were suppose to work together. Besides you gave me the courage to go to work today." She said and smiled. "I'm going to be honest to you Pinkie. I couldn't bear to see you like that and I felt so miserable. If I can protect you, I'll protect you no matter what." Rainbow told her. "You know I lean onto you for support but I can stand on all fours on my own too. I can do this whether you believe in me or not." Pinkie Pie getting miffed. "Pinkie Pie, I do believe in you but I don't want to see you hurt that badly again." Rainbowdash said concerned.

The two left to their jobs and Pinkie Pie thought about how it seemed like she was too nice to ponies. Ponies were walking over her like a doormat. As she got to work that she would try to do her best despite how things are for her. Pinkie Pie smiled and worked on despite the awkwardness things were. As she got home from work that Rainbowdash was there waiting for her. Pinkie remembered how they left the way they did. "Pinkie, I didn't mean to…" Rainbow started but Pinkie Pie stopped her. "I want to be by your side and not a burden to you. I can do it one day at a time and I couldn't stop thinking about you as I wore this scarf." She told Rainbowdash and nuzzled to it. She took it off and wrapped it around her. "You'll need this now and it'll be ok. I can promise you it'll be ok." Pinkie Pie told Rainbowdash and gave her a kiss.
