Chapter 2: A Dash of Rainbow
As Rox flew to Rarity's place, he relished the feeling of the wind flowing through his wings. Hmm... Maybe I should get some creme colored love seats this time, Rox thought to himself, knowing he could buy the whole boutique if he was so inclined. Suddenly he heard a voice snapping him from his trance.
"Just where are you going old-timer?" The cyan tom-colt pegasus beside him jeered.
"Getting a bunch of new furniture cause ours got trashed..." Rox said nonchalantly smirking.
"You guys had a party without me!" Dash gasped, stopping mid-flap, looking offended.
"Ya cause you said that I was old and lame." He laughed, sticking out his tongue.
She started blush a little and blurted "C-cause you are!"
"Mhmm and that's why I can beat you in any race..." Rox whispered in her ear, making her pride suddenly rocket.
"No way old man I can go around equestria in 10 minutes flat-" she began,"Wait I mean seconds!"
"Uh hu sure you do..." The alicorn grinned slyly.
"Why don't you put your bits where your muzzle is and race me!" Dash growled, now anxious to show the prince up.
"Your on!" Rox said, scraping a hoof on a nearby cloud, "Where are we racing to?"
"How bout Sweet Apple Acres so I can tell Applejack how badly I beat your butt when we're done!" Dash grinned.
"Ok see you at your marefriend's house!" Rox chuckled before taking off, leaving a rainbow maned confused filly on her cloud for a second, blushing hard.
"S-she's not my marefriend!" she called after him speeding off to catch him. 'Not that I wouldn't mind her being mine' she thought to herself, then quickly shaking her head to clear away the foggy image of the blonde maned friend and her ropes...
The alicorn just snickered, knowing he caused her to be slower than normal, lost in her bondage fantasies. "What can the fastest in Equestria not keep up with a hundred year old stallion?" Rox called back to her, causing her to double speed, catching up quickly and causing her to be a white outlined comet.
'Now I can see how good this Sonic Rainboom of her's is...' Rox smirked, mimicking her movement.
A ring of rainbow colors and dust shot out in front of him, blurring his fellow competitor from view, as if his eyes could've traced the stream of colors in front of him accurately anyway.
Suddenly Rox caught up to the same speed, sending a puff of chocolate smelling dust behind him in the shape of a heart. The two streams of light began to dance and twirl in the sky, leaving every earth pony below in a fit of amazement. Everypony below them began to wonder why there was such a beautiful light show in the sky.
Rox's horn lit up and a spell wraped around Dash's tail behind him, pulling her to slow to a normal prance. "Let... Me... Go!" The filly yelled.
"Hey did you want to crash through AJ's barn?" Rox inquired, stopping just short of the mentioned building and letting go of the spell.
"What do you m-oof" Dash said, hitting it just enough to be bucked back.
"Oww..." Dash whinnied, coming out of the hay stack she fell in.
"Well I guess you won't be impressing that crush of yours after all!" Rox chuckled, winking at her.
"I do not like Applejack!" RD yelled at the alicorn hovering above her, unable to hear the hoofsteps behind her.
"Why don't ya sugarcube?" the mentioned orange pony drawled behind her.
Dash jumped alil and blushed feverishly. "No I do like-I mean not- ugh," The cyan peasus shook her head angrily at Rox, "I hate you Prissy Pants... I really do..."
"Uh is there something you wanna tell me?" the farmer-pony asked dryly, almost seeming to know the words on her lips and hating how it was seeming to end up being answered.
"I'll leave you two to it..." the stallion just smiled cantering off, not seeming to be in to much of a hurry until he heard the phrase he knew was going to be said. 'My barn door just don't swing that way...' Rox mouthed as Applejack said it.
