Welp... that sure was a long wait wasnt it? Sooo Sorry ya'll!

But look! i'm not dead!

In fact I feel a lot more alive. You see, I recently (2 months ago) got a girlfriend. Not gonna give much detail, but let's just say that she's amazing.

Anyways, on top of dealing with her I'm also struggling with my Senior Project... which was due a few days ago... and which needs to be turned in otherwise I won't graduate... That, and I started working at a haunted house so I'm rarely at home to do the things I need to.

The struggle is real.

Now then, this will hopefully satisfy some people, others will be completely pissed at the way i ended the chapter. Lulz.

So I apologize in advance of the delivery of crap.

Mintmaddog: Well I didn't mean to confuse ya. And your OC and my buddy zach's are both in canterlot doing you know what. Not you two together but with others.

ZeroKnight115: I am currently imagining ponies being blinded by Blaze's mane with the text: Fab-U-Lous below him.

goldenponyboy: Ye think I be funny? Rejoice! For I have been known as funny!

Anywho, thanks for putting up with me! (I say that a lot.) And I will tell you now that I have no idea when I'll next update.

Oh yes, and as always, make sure to R&R and enjoy!

The weather didn't seem like it would give out anytime soon. I had the crazy idea of flying above the storm, but I've never really done it before since Dash said that it's not safe. And although I usually tell her that she doesn't have to worry, this was the one thing that I knew she would never forgive me for.

"Why didn't I just ask one of them to use a locator spell?! This didn't have to be so difficult!" I continued to scan the area, rather than fly back to the library and be embarrassed. I then stopped in the air, ignoring the lightning strikes all around me.

In front of me was the Everfree, and unlike Ponyville, it was completely untouched by the storm. Well, besides some black clouds that hovered over it. "I wonder if Zecora or Emerald has anything to help find Dashie… or maybe they already know where she is."

I started to fly towards the area, but stopped and sighed, "Nah, I've bugged them enough for one day. Possibly even the whole week."

A strong wind then hit me on the back, blowing my mane forward and making it stick to my face. "Ugh, stupid wind." I moved a hoof to move my mane out of my face, but was stopped by a familiar smell that the wind carried. "Is that?..." It was faint, but it was there.

Turning around I fly as fast as I can in the direction of the smell, and check the air a few times to make sure I'm going the right way.

By now the storm had let up a little, and the lightning had stopped striking nearby me, which told me I was going the right way.

I kept flying, and continued following the smell as it grew stronger.

When I saw something in the distance on top of a cloud, I was so relieved and so happy. I wanted to fly right into her and give her the biggest hug and kiss I've ever given; but something told me to calm down and approach her slowly.

So I complied and slowed my speed. By now I was slowly and steadily hovering forward, trying not to scare her or alert her since she hasn't noticed me.

I got right beside her and sat down on the cloud then put a wing around her, causing her to flinch. "Hey there. You know your mane and coat are wet right?"

She got closer and put her head on me, "Yeah I know…"

We were both silent for a little before I spoke up, "So what's wrong Dashie? Why're you out here in the storm?"

"No reason." She replied plainly.

"You don't sit in the rain for no reason." I shook some of the water out of my mane, causing it to fall back over my face. "How about we get somewhere less rainy and more… not rainy."

"But I like the rain… it helps me cool off."

"Well now I know that there's something wrong; but we still need to get out of this storm. I don't want you to get a cold afterall." I got and carried her in my hooves while flying home. It was the only place that we could go to without being bothered.

When we got home I opened the door, went in and shut it. Although it was kinda cold outside because of the rain, it was actually warm inside. Just another thing I love about cloud homes.

I slowly set her down on the couch took one look at her beautiful face that was partially covered by her mane, then went into the kitchen to get something to warm us up.

After 30 seconds I head back to her and place a cup of hot chocolate on the table. I then flop down next to her and stare at the ceiling and sigh.

We sat in silence for a good minute before I finally spoke up, "Hey Dash? How long have we been together?"

There was a slight pause before she mumbled, "Almost 7 months."

"Wow… been a long time." I chuckled, "I still remember when you crashed into me my first time in Ponyville." She didn't speak, so I just kept going, "You landed directly on me, and I ended up waking you with my hoof and saying"

"Hey sunshine. Do me a favor and take me out to dinner before you crash into me…" she mumbled.

I smiled, "That's right. And you never did take me out to dinner. After we started dating it was me taking you out all the time or flying around looking for places to be alone." By now the hot chocolate had little to no steam coming from it. "There was even the time that you wanted me to race Tank and see if I could beat him."

She giggled, "And you lost."

"Tripped over a cloud." I corrected her. "Look, the main point is: we've been through a lot together; too much for me to constantly call you my marefriend." I got up and flew into the kitchen and grabbed the large square butterscotch canister, then went and got in front of her.

Her nose cringed, "You know I hate butterscotch. Why is that even in here?"

"Dash. Do you want to know what I haven't said in a long time?"

"What?" She covered her nose with her hoof.

I opened the canister, revealing a beautiful golden hoof band with rubies and crystals that circled around in an intricate manner.

I heard her gasp as I got down before her and kneeled, presenting the hoof band to her. "Rainbow Dash. I wouldn't be half the pony I am today if it weren't for you. You who brought me happiness just by being by my side, or by allowing me to hear your voice." I looked up for a moment at her face, and the tears that were streaming down her face were all I needed to tell. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And with Celestia as my witness I will never betray nor hurt you." I then stared in her eyes, "Rainbow Dash, Fastest Pegasus alive: will you marry me?"

Whooo he finally said it! Took him long enough.

Wonder what she'll say. And what happened to the whole plan that he created?! Or maybe this was the plan all along...

Who Knows.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you! good Night!
