Hey everybody, it's just like I said. The next chapter is up today. If you have been a reader from the first chapter (which was up a few days ago) then I'm happy that you're still reading. Anyway lets get on with chapter 5.
Chapter 5Rainbow Dash's house, 6:08 AMWhen I woke up I was looking at a different ceiling than what I had been used to seeing. I bolted upright and looked around me, I was looking for some kind of sign that showed that I came here of my own free will. I stood up and looked around. I looked behind the sofa, nothing, I looked on the sofa where I had been sleeping, nothing. I stepped backwards and tripped over something that was on the floor. I wasn't hurt as I landed on cloud flooring. I sat up from my prone position to see my pair of trainers that I had tripped over. I scratched the back of my head.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that I was staying at Rainbow's for a while to look after her." I thought to myself whilst getting up off of the floor. I sat back down on the sofa and sighed.
"What time is it?" I asked myself, I got up from the comfy sofa and went over to the window. I saw the sun was only just rising.
"Damn it, it's way too early for me. But I don't feel tired at all." I thought as I looked at the sunrise coming from behind the mountains far from Ponyville. I leaned on the windowsill and looked out over Ponyville below, I stood upright and turned one-eighty and looked around the living room. Overall it looked exactly like you would imagine, a cloud house that is. It had white walls and the floor was white too, there were a few pictures hung around and a few bookshelves filled with nothing but 'Daring Doo' books. I turned back to the windowsill once more but something had changed. I now had to reach up to grab the windowsill.
"What the hell is going on here?" I asked myself. I looked down and saw that I had sunk through the cloud floor. It was now up to my waist height and moving quite fast up the rest of my body.
'Oh shit, the cloud walking potions.' I had totally forgot about them, I looked around the room in panic and saw my bag not two metres away from me.
'How fucking convenient, what is this a fucking comedy show?' I reached for the bag but it was too far away. I felt the cloud making it's way up my neck.
'Ethan, what are you doing?' I heard Rainbow Dash's voice and looked in the direction I heard it come from.
'What does it look like I doing? Im falling through this fucking house' I kept my voice low so that I didn't o all out rage at her. She looked at me like I was an idiot.
'Yeah I can see that, but why exactly?' now it was my turn to look at her with the 'you fucking serious' look.
'Look Rainbow I don't have the time just get me a goddamn po-' I didn't get to finish as the last of the cloud house slipped over my face.
'Oh for fuck sake!' I yelled into empty air as I was freefalling straight to the middle of Sweet Apple Acres. Lucky for me, Equestria's gravity is lighter than earth so it took longer to get to the ground. I looked down and saw the ground and apple trees coming closer with every second. Closed my eyes and waited for the impact which would probably kill me. When I hit the ground there was no pain, but I was launched back into the air with what sounded like springs. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was alive and unharmed luckily. I looked around for my saviour.
'Hi Ethan that was the best jump ever. How did you know I was having a trampoline party?' I turned to see Pinkie jumping up and down by the side of the large trampoline that I had the luck to land on.
'Uh, Pinkie why are you throwing a trampoline party in the middle of Sweet Apple Acres?' I asked her. She stopped jumping and put a hoof to her chin.
'Hmmm, I don't know why. All I know is.' She gasps loudly like she normally does when she gets an idea.
'I have to give out the invitations!' she shouted before running some random way into the trees. I sighed before getting of the trampoline. There was a way to get back to Rainbow's house quickly, but I was going to have to put up with the most painful torture to do it.
Half way to Rainbow's house, half an hour later
'Thanks for allowing to take me back to Rainbow's house Fluttershy.' I said to her as I sat upright on her back.
'Oh it's no problem, you're not even heavy. By the way is riding a pony your fetish?' I groaned at the question at the end. I closed my eyes and let the wind blow on my face. I should ask Twilight if she had a spell that could give me wings. I saw Rainbow's house coming up as I opened my eyes. Fluttershy landed gracefully on the cloud porch and knocked on Dash's door. The door was opened pretty quickly and Rainbow Dash came out side with a cloud walking potion in her mouth, she quickly trotted over and put the bottle in my hand. I instantly downed the contents.
'I'm sorry Ethan I forgot about you needing the cloud walking potions. At least nothing bad happened.' Rainbow said to me once I had finished the drink. I got off of Fluttershy and felt the solid floor beneath me.
'Thanks Fluttershy, I don't know where I would be without your help.' I stroked the back of her neck eliciting a moan from her. I backed away and Fluttershy took off into the air. I watched her soar through the air until she was no longer visible. I walked into the house with Dash and sat on the sofa. I looked down at my clothes.
'Do you think we could go back to Ponyville today Dash?' I asked her, she nodded. I put my blue trainers back on, picked up my bag and followed Dash out the door.
Ponyville, Carousel Boutique, 7:48 AM
I knocked on the door of the Carousel Boutique, I heard the sound of Rarity's sowing machine running.
'Come in!' I heard her voice from the other side of the door. I opened the door and stepped inside, I let the door close behind me. I saw Rarity sowing what looked like a bright pink dress, she looked up and saw me then she stopped what she was doing and walked over to me.
'Oh my, whatever happened to you darling?' she asked as she studied my shredded clothes.
'Long story short, cloud walking potion ran out, fell, pinkie saved me with trampoline and Fluttershy carried me back up.' I told her as simply as possible. She looked at me and shook her head.
'Well you can't go around wearing these, I will have to make a new set of clothes for you. This is my second time making clothes for you. Hopefully I can make this new set better than your last. I will use the last set of measurements.' She said whilst going around and collecting many different fabrics from the shelves.
'Rarity is it possible that I can take a look at that book that Twilight copied?' I asked her before she walked upstairs. She pointed a hoof towards a bookshelf.
'Of course you can darling, it's over there.' She said before walking upstairs. I walked over to the bookshelf and pulled out the book. I leaned against the walland opened it to the page with all the words that I had said beginning with S. I found the word description I was looking for and laughed. Twilight had not found out the real meaning, just what I was thinking about at the time. So when I said shit, she thought it meant work. So when Rarity said she had shit to do, she meant work. I kept laughing until tears came to my eyes.
"Fucking Twilight Sparkle making me worry over nothing." I thought as I wiped away the tears. I read through the whole book from the first page to the last, the only word description she had gotten right was fuck. I watched as Rarity came down from upstairs with a new set of clothes for me.
'Thanks Rarity I don't know anyone more capable to make clothes for me.' I said to her. She waved the compliment aside with a hoof. I pulled out a little bag that I always kept in my pocket and pulled out a handful of bits and put them on the counter for her. She handed the clothes to me.
'You don't have to pay darling, it is a pleasure to make clothes for another species.' She said to me. I shook my head.
'No Rarity, I didn't pay for the first set. You have to be paid to be able to afford the fabrics and other items you need to stay in business.' I told her politely. She nodded.
'I guess you're right, well thank you Ethan and come back if you need anything else okay.' I nodded and put the clothes in my bag. I walked back outside and looked up at the sky, it was a nice day and the sun was high in the sky. I walked over to where I left the air balloon and put my bag inside. I looked at Dash who was curled up on the floor inside, she looked so peaceful. I turned around and headed to Sugarcube Corner to get something to eat for me and Dash. I pushed open the familiar door and was hit by a blast of confetti.
'Hi Ethan! How are you doing? Oh silly me why would I ask such a silly question you're always happy!' I smiled at Pinkie's rambling. She always did that when she was excited about something.
'Hey Pinkie how are you doing?' I asked her after she had stopped bouncing from wall to wall. She looked at me with big blue eyes.
'Oh me, I'm perfectly okie dokey! I have the bestest most funnaristic party planned ever!' she shouted while once again bouncing around.
'Do you have any cupcakes left Pinkie or have you ate them again?' I teased her. She looked at me smiling before shaking her head.
'No I didn't eat them all, there's still some left. I'll go get some for you and Dashie.' She said before bouncing off into the kitchen and leaving me stood there dumbfounded.
"How did she know that I was with Rainbow? Oh well I shouldn't ask those questions. It's just Pinkie" I thought as I waited for Pinkie to return. She came back in with a bag with four cupcakes in. I took the bag off of Pinkie and thanked her for the cupcakes before heading off back to the air balloon. I placed the bag of cupcakes in before I climbed in and set the balloon off towards Rainbow's house. I looked over at her and saw that she was sat up and looking over at me. I handed her the bag of cupcakes.
'Thanks Ethan, being bored and having nothing to do sure does make you hungry.' She said before eating a cupcake. The wind picked up as we got higher into the air. I changed into the new clothes while Dash was too busy eating and looked out over Ponyville. A sudden gust of wind shook the balloon.
'Dash are you ok?' I asked her. I turned around when I didn't get a response. She wasn't there. I ran to the side and looked over and her cyan body falling towards the ground a long ways from Ponyville.
'Shit!' I shouted before jumping out of the balloon after her. I was falling head first to catch up with her. When I did catch up I saw Rainbow looking at me.
'Ethan are you crazy! You can't fly!' she shouted at me. I ignored her and grabbed her right hoof before pulling her close and turning over so that the ground was coming towards my back. The wind changed so that we weren't falling down, but at an angle. I looked at Rainbow who was staring at me in shock. I pulled her tighter to my chest before we hit the ground. I slid across the ground, making a trail in the dirt where I landed. When I stopped moving I looked at Dash who was still staring at me. My vision faded to nothing.
