Rainbow Dash's House

After 2 hours of bucking trees

Dale was flying towards Rainbow Dash after some with a cigarette in his mouth. Hank had made a deal with Dale: 10 cigarettes for 5 bits.

Dale smiled as he walked inside.

"Hey Rainbow Dash"

Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Hey Dale. Umm...can I ask you something?"

Dale nodded.

"Maybe"

Rainbow Dash frowned.

"Who's Rusty Shackleford?"

Dale's eyes widen.

""Umm..."

Dale reminded himself to thank Bill for telling him some My Little Pony info.

"LOOK! THE WONDERBOLTS!"

Rainbow Dash turned around.

"WHERE? !"

She turned around and saw Dale flying away.

She quickly flew to block the door, smirking.

Dale gulped and said.

"PREPARE TO BE DESTROYED BY THE DEADLIEST OF ALL MARTIAL ARTS...MONKEY STYLE!"

He started acting like an angry monkey, which made Rainbow Dash laugh.

When she was on the floor laughing, she noticed Dale successfully make his escape

She got angry but started to giggle.

"I'll talk to him later. And I'll make sure he doesn't try to escape..."


Twilight's Library

Dale flew to the library and smirked when he saw something he had thought was left behind on Earth.

Hank using his propane grill.

He walked towards Hank and saw that he was grilling carrots.

Hank offered one to Twilight.

She blew on it softly and slowly chewed it and smiled.

"This is actually pretty good"

Hank smiled. His grill was a success.

Twilight asked Dale.

"How's Rainbow Dash?"

Dale looked nervous.

"Um...she's OK...um...hey Twi? You got an extra jacket I can borrow...and some sand?"


Rainbow Dash's House

Nighttime

Rainbow Dash was waiting for Dale.

She made sure that he wouldn't get away this time.

Dale flew towards Rainbow Dash, now wearing a purple jacket.

When he went inside, he saw a smirking Rainbow Dash.

"I knew you'd come back. Now answer my question. WHO'S RUSTY SHACKLEFORD?"

Dale looked nervous.

"That's classified information!"

Rainbow Dash looked angry.

"ANSWER ME!"

Dale gulped and reached for the pocket on his jacket...

"POCKET SAND! ! ! ! ! !"

He threw some sand at Rainbow Dash's face, blinding her.

She screamed and had a pissed look on her face.

Dale realized this was probably a bad idea.

She jumped on him and started to punch Dale on the face repeatedly.

When she got her sight back, she realized what she did.

She jumped off of Dale and said":

"Oh my Celestia...I'm...sorry..."

She then flew at her room with tears in her face.

Dale just sat there.

"Jesus Christ..."

He sighed and knew what to do. Something he would thought he would never do.

He walked into Rainbow Dash's room. He saw Rainbow Dash was crying on her bed.

Dale smiled weakly.

"Um...Hey Rainbow Dash"

She looked at Dale and jumped up at Dale, hugging him tightly and sobbing on his shoulders.

"Dale...I'm sorry..."

Dale sighed and looked sad.

"No Rainbow Dash. I'M sorry. I shouldn't have threw that sand on you. It was my fault."

Dale sighed again and told his secret.

"Rusty Shackleford...is my alias, you know, a false name used to conceal one's identity. Back in Earth, I didn't want anyone, well, maybe except my friends, to know my name, so I took a name from a classmate whom I thought was dead. Ever since then, I used that name..."

Rainbow Dash looked at Dale with her sad eyes.

"I'm still sorry for beating you..."

Dale waved her off with his hoof.

"I already told you. It's my fault. I should have just told you in the first place. You don't have to apologize"

Rainbow Dash stopped crying and smiled.

"Thanks Dale"

Dale was confused.

Is she doing what I think she's doing, he thought.

She suddenly kissed Dale, who just stood there with a shocked look on his face.

When she broke the kiss, she noticed Dale's look on his face.

"Oh...I'm sorry Dale..."

Dale smiled weakly.

"It's alright. It's just...that I'm already married."

Rainbow Dash's eyes widen.

"Oh my Celestia. I'm REALLY sorry."

Dale smiled.

"Don't worry about it. I didn't tell you in the first place anyway"

Rainbow Dash was confused.

"Where is your wife?"

Dale frowned.

"I don't know. When I got into this world, I didn't see my wife. But I know that she's safe."

Dale yawned.

"Well, I should get some sleep. Sorry about all this"

Rainbow Dash smiled.

"It's OK. None taken"

Dale then had a stern look on his face.

"DO NOT tell ANYONE about who Rusty Shackleford is, OK?"

Rainbow Dash nodded.

"OK, I promise"

Dale smiled at her and went to his room.
