[Daisy's Diner, 1:54 p.m.]

As we finished our meal, I got up and walked over to the washroom. I washed my hoofs off, and walked back to the table. Big Mac finished paying the bill, and we walked outside. It took me a moment to adjust my eyesight to the light. It's not even 2 yet. Me and Big Mac can go back over to his place and hang out for a few hours.

"So, what are we doing when we get back to the house?" I asked.

"Well we got the present that AJ is going to give you." He said with a smile. Omigosh! I had completely forgotten that Applejack had gotten me something. It was awfully nice of her, but she's already done enough for me. What could she have gotten me?

"Do you know, what she's gotten me?"

"Nope, not a clue." I thought I could hear him hesitate. Is he lying?

"Oh come on, you know something." I accuised.

"And what if I do?" He said playfully.

"Then I'd have to get the information out of you one way or another." I said and began to giggle. He was obviously amused by this.

"Oh no! Please don't hurt me!" He yelled playfully. We started to laugh. We were about 5 minutes from the house, and we saw AJ just laying around on the front porch. She looked up at as, and smilied.

"Howdy ya'll. How was the lunch?" She called out. I waited till I got closer to answer.

"It was great. Next time, we gotta have you come along though." I said when I was close enough to not yell.

"Well I'm glad the two of you got to have fun. I guess you're expecting your present now ain't ya?" She said.

"You don't got to get me anything AJ. You've done enough." I replied.

"Oh, but it's your birthday youngin'. Now close your eyes." She said. I complied. "Alright Big Mac put the blindfold on her, so she doesn't peek." I felt a cloth get draped over my eyes. I opened them, and it was like I still had them closed.

"Alright now follow me." Big Mac said as he rested his hoof on my back. I followed him into the house. We walked for a moment or two, Is it really big? What could it be? I started to get excited.

"Careful on that first step." Big Mac said to me. If I wasn't listening I would have fell flat on my face. I made it up the first step, then the second and third ones. About that time I had muscle memorized how to step if I wanted to successfully go up the stairs. Where would the gift be at?

When we got to the top of the stairs, or at least what I thought were the top of the stairs, I had begun to smell something. It smelt fairly concentrated, and wet. I was smelling paint. Why do I smell paint? Was AJ painting me something? I heard a door open. "Alright get ready to take the blindfold off of her in a moment." AJ said to her brother.

I felt the differing pressure of the air that was inside the room I was entering. I smelt the paint even more. "Okay, take it off of her." Applejack said after a moment. As the blindfold came off, my eyes were blinded with the newly shone light.

It took me a moment to adjust. The white slowly faded into a Cyan blue color. I began to look around, the room I was in had been painted a Cyan blue. Upon looking around the second time I saw some Wonderbolts posters hung up. It took me a moment to realize this was the guest room, and a little bit longer to realize this was my gift. Did, Applejack just give me the guest room? "I-is this what I think it is?" I asked.

"Eeyup." Big Mac replied. Oh my god, they want me to move in with them! But I've only been dating Big Mac for about 4 days. Oh I don't care, it's still the best gift I've gotten.

"Are you guys wanting me to move in with you?" I asked.

"Sure am, sugarcube." AJ answered.

"We decided this yesterday, on 2 things. Well you know how to help us around here, and two you're my girlfriend." Big Mac said.

"I'd be delighted to move in with you guys." I answered them.

"Great, we'll go with you after the party to get some stuff from your house to move down here." AJ said.

"I can't move in until about Friday, though." I said.

"Why not, sugarcube?"

"My parents are going to be staying at my place until Thursday night."

"Well it's settled then, we'll have you moved in by Friday." AJ finally announced. I looked over at the clock that was on the wall, it had just turned 2:25.

"Well seeing as though I have about another half-hour till I should start making my way towards Cloudsdale, what do you guys want to do?" I asked the two of them.

"We could always sit around and talk..." Big Mac suggested.

"Sounds to boring, I've got an idea!" I announced to the group. They gathered around to listen to what I had to say...

[Rainbow's House, 4:58 p.m.]

"What a lovely house, Dash." My dad said as we entered my house.

"It is lovely, honey." My mom also commented.

"Well being the Pegasus that clears the skies over Ponyville has its perks sometimes." I answered "Follow me and I'll show you two where you'll be staying for the week.". They followed me through the house, and up the stair case. I opened the door to my guest room and turned on the light. My guest room looked fairly plain. It was a darker shade of blue, it had a decently sized television set. Along with the bed that was big enough to accommodate both of my parents.

"Its nice." My mom said as she walked in, setting her bag down.

"I guess, well I'll you two to get situated. I'll be down stairs if you two need me." I said walked out of the door, and turning back to see if they needed me before I actually left to go down stairs.

"We'll get everything set up honey, don't worry about it." My dad reassured me.

"Alright." I finally said, and took my leave down stairs.

[Rainbow's House, 5:35 p.m.]

My parent's are the slowest Pegasuses in the world. They've been up there for about half an hour. I thought to myself as I sat down watching TV, with the volume set low. Some dumb cartoon was one, it was about 6 human friends. 1 of them was a human that was obsessed with studying, another was obsessed with partying. And the last three had personalities, such as: 1 of them was very bashful, the next one was a southerner that worked on a farm, and the last one was a race car driver. Now me and that race car driver had something in common. Twilight recommended this show to me but I never got why it was so cool.

I was actually paying enough attention to not notice that my parents were finally coming down the stairs. "Well if it isn't Mr. and Mrs. Slow Poke." I laughed at them.

"Oh very funny dear. We weren't that slow were we?" My mother asked.

"You two were up there for half an hour." I replied. "Well if we're ready to go, we should start on our way to my birthday party."

"I think she's right honey, we should get going." My dad agreed.

"Alright lets get going." My mom said. With that I turned off my TV and walked over to the front door. We walked outside, and took off. We didn't exchange any words during the flight over to the Cake shop. We landed in front of the cake shop, and walked in.

"Evening, Dash." Mr. Cake greeted me "Say who are these two fine ponies?" He asked after taking a second glance towards the door.

"I'm Rainbow Dash's father, you can call me Meteor Shower. And this is my wife, White Bone, but you can call her Vanessa." My dad told Mr. Cake.

"Well nice to make your acquaintance Meteor Shower, Vanessa." Mr. Cake replied a moment later "Pinkie's up in the inventory room, she's probably done with the set up by now Dash." He said looking back towards me.

"Thanks Mr. Cake." I replied and nudged at my parents to follow me up the stairs. We went up stairs to the inventory room. I began to knock on it. A moment later, Mrs. Cake opened the door to the room.

"Evening, Dash. I take it these are you parents?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am, My dad Meteor Shower, and my mom Bone White. She'd prefer if you'd call her Vanessa though." I asnwered.

"Well good evening to the both of you, come on in. Pinkie finished about 10 minutes ago." She said inviting all of us in. We walked into the room only to be greeted by the always bouncy Pinkie.

"Hey Dash!" She said bounding around.

"Hey Pinkie, thanks for throwing this party again." I said.

"Oh, its no problem. I always have to throw parties for my best friends."

"Well this are my parents, Meteor Shower and Bone White." I told her.

"Bone White, that's a silly name." She answered. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a cross look come over my mother's face. Shit, she should be so easily angered.

"Just call her Vanessa." I added quickly before my mom got too mad.

"Okie Dokie Lokie." She said bounding around.

I turned towards my parents and said "Alright well you two stay put here, and I'm going to get my boyfriend and his sister." For some odd reason, my parents looked relieved. What are they so happy about. It looks like I took a ton off their shoulders. "You two look relieved." I stated.

"Well...um, to be honest Dash we uhh..." My mom started to stammer out.

"We thought you were gay, Dash." My dad finally say. Ooff. It was like getting it with a ton of bricks. I understood where they were coming from though. I mean, me and Gilda were really good friends. I was Bi for most of my teen years, but I never admitted that to my parents.

"Well I'm glad I set you two straight." I said to them. I then walked out the door, and down the stairs. "I'll be back in a minute or two Mr. Cake" I yelled back to Mr. Cake.

"Alright see ya in a few Dash." He yelled back. I walked out the door, and down to Twilight's library.

It took me a few moments, but I finally reached the door. I walked in, hearing AJ finish saying "...I didn't know that it felt that good to, be with..." She stopped and looked at me "Oh...uh, hey Dash!" She began to blush.

"Catching Twilight up on our little pow-wow?" I asked her. She started blushing a deeper red "Where's Big Mac at?"

"Over here." He yelled to me from the other room.

"Alright, my parents are waiting at the Cake's shop. So we should head over there soon, I don't want Pinkie driving them crazy." I said chuckling a little.

"Oh, we should get over there then." Twilight said, she looked over to AJ who nodded slightly. I took it as she'd tell Twilight what had happen earlier later.

"If you want to know so badly, I'll show you later Twi." I directed it towards her, and she began to blush.

"Alright you girls ready to go?" Big Mac said entering from the other room.

"Come on, I want to get to the party!" I heard Spike say anxiously.

"Why so you can see Rarity?" I told him, and he began to blush.

"M-maybe." He replied.

"Well we should get on our way." AJ said. With that, we began to walk over to the Cake's shop. Upon arriving, Mr. Cake greeted all of us and we walked up the stairs into the party room. Fluttershy and Rarity were already there.

"Oh Rainbow, dear, how are you?" Rarity said the minute I was away from the group.

"Fine, how about you?" I asked her.

"Just fine. We haven't talked in a while."

"I've been busy with all this planning stuff. I also thought that you had a lot of work to get caught up on."

"Oh I had finished all that work yesterday. We really need to make a date when we can get together."

"I don't know when I'm free. I still have my routine to get done."

"I thought that was what you were doing all this time. For the Wonderbolts tryout right, darling?"

"Yeah."

"I've heard that they changed it into a 3 tier competition."

I was intrigued "Really? What are the tiers about?"

"Well the first tier is just the general, how well you can fly my dear. Then the next one is about how well you perform under pressure. And the last one is a complete freestyle, a routine of your choice." She answered.

"Wow, well, that makes my life a little bit easier." I said.

"Well, I'm glad. So we should get together some day. How about the 3rd Thursday of the month?"

"Sounds wonderful, I'll keep you posted if anything goes wrong."

"Sounds wonderful, dear." With that, we concluded our conversation and went on to talk to the others in the party. Moments later, my father confronted me.

"So, where's your boyfriend at?" He asked.

"Right over here." I walked over to Big Mac who was getting a drink, and kissed him on the cheek.

"So, your her boyfriend." My dad inquired.

"Yes, sir." Big Mac answered.

"What do you do for a living, uh..." My dad started.

"Big Mac."

"So what do you do for a living, Big Mac."

"I work over at the farm that my family owns. We buck the apples, and sell them."

"Wait, you guys are the ones who own Sweet Apple Acres?"

"Yes, sir."

"We get your apples up in Cloudsdale. And if I do say so myself, they are the most tasty apples I've ever had."

"Well thank you, sir. It means a lot for me to hear that." Big Mac said, I finally decided that this conversation would probably go on for the rest of the party. I left and went to chat with everyone else who was there. The party was rather nice, we played games, and had cake and all of that great stuff. It got late, and we all started to head home. Big Mac walked me back to my house, well as far as he could go. I kissed him goodnight, and my parents and I flew back up to my house. They went up stairs and went to bed, I did the same. I was too tired. Well Dash, you've got to a routine to finish, and flight skill to go over. You're going to be busy. I started to dose off. I could barely see the blur of the poster I had on my ceiling. My vision was completely gone, and sleep took me over.

[Author's Notes]
