#1 of A Dash Of Recklessness

I have several stories / Sequels to this on FIMFiction and I assure you the quality of writing gets better as the stories progress. This one is after all the first story I ever wrote. Thank you all for reading (hopefully) and I hope you enjoy.


Dear Princess Celestia. It's Rainbow Dash.

I know I don't write you very much and I probably should. So to make up

for it I have a story for you. You may want to sit down for this one. And maybe uh..

In private. Something strange happened awhile ago with

a... A colt, a colt that I just couldn't stay away from. He makes me feel

weird, and before you say anything, not that you could.. Since this is

a letter and all, I... I think i am in love with him. Well after you hear

this story I think you will figure that out yourself. He's SO cute!

I don't usually write so sorry if this doesn't have the best grammar

or punctuation. Oh and yeah... If you know me I would never use

the word "Cute" unless I uh... Well you know. Anyway! Stop getting

me off track! Shut up, sit down and listen. I mean

read... You know what I mean! Um...Your majesty.

_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _

I flew harder than I ever have, zooming past the horizon. As soon as I hit the mark I did an immediate U-Turn, flying in a hurry back to Ponyville. I pushed harder and harder, seeing the town in the distance. I was almost there, I needed to be faster, If I didn't break the sound barrier soon it would never work! Then it happened. Everything went silent, I could barely keep my eyes open, I knew this was it! I pulled my goggles down and exploded past the edge of town. There's the fountain! I'm going to do It, It's going to work! BOOM!

Sonic Rainboom accomplished! The second I heard It I immediately shifted my weight and flew straight down towards the ground, spiraling down in a funnel of colors. Landing elegantly on top of the stone statue that rests on the fountain in town square. As soon as I landed I struck a pose, looking around at the cheering crowd. Panting hard, I tried to gain focus, then I heard his voice. I looked down to see him at the edge of the fountain clapping. I jumped off, landing next to him.

"Rainbow Dash! I'm so proud of you, My marefriend is the sexiest, fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria!" he said.

He put his hand on my cheek and I blushed. I closed my eyes as we leaned in for a kiss. This was the best moment of my life! I am the most popular Pegasus in Ponyville, Cloudsdale... Hell all of Equestria! Our lips touched and we were locked in a passionate kiss. Then after what seemed like an eternity, we unlocked from the connection and I heard him say,

"Wowie Zowie! You sure are a great kisser Rainbow Dash!".

I froze, then snapped my eyes open. I was in my bed, with my hands around Pinkie Pie's head, who was sitting next to my bed, only inches away from my face. I let go of her and yelled,

"PINKIE PIE?!".

I immediately tried to fly backwards, only getting my wings tangled in the covers and fell straight down onto the hard floor. It was then I realized that it was all a dream...

After a minute of struggling to untangle myself, I was finally free and jumped to my feet. Pinkie Pie was sitting on my now coverless bed, bouncing up and down on the mattress. In an irritated voice I asked,

"What the hell are you doing! How did you get inside my house the doors are locked!".

She responded with "You gave me and the others a key silly! Remember?".

"Oh... Yeah" I said. After hesitating I responded, "Well, that still doesn't answer what you are doing watching me sleep..".

"Sorry, I came to wake you up because it's morning and its a bright sunny day! It looked like you were having a really good dream and I didn't want to wake you up. So I let you sleep in. Did you know you talk in your sleep? Oh and who were you kissing in your dream? Was it romantic? Or exciting... Or both! Was it Exantic?".

I blushed, remembering my dream, I looked at Pinkie Pie and said "Did I... Did we uh..."

"Kiss? Yep! You reached out and pulled me In for one. You are a great kisser by the way!" she announced in a cheery voice.

I was so embarrassed. "Why were you sitting so close to my bed, Why didn't you wake me up? And wh- STOP BOUNCING!"

. She immediately stopped, sat down, and said "Sorry, I'm just so excited! Tell me about your dream, what were you doing? Who were you trying to impress? Was the kiss good? Am I a good kisser? No no this isn't about me It's about you, although I am always open to criticis-"

"PINKIE!" I yelled.

"Right sorry, very private I won't tell a soul!" She said in a quiet tone, making a zipping motion with her hand across her mouth. She then bolted for the door and before I could stop her, she opened the door, and slammed it. 10 seconds later the door opened slightly, enough for her to peak her head back in and said "Just don't forget to remember the fifth of November!". And slammed it again. Then opened it immediately after and said "Have a good day!" in a high pitched voice, then shut it again.

Both confused and tired, I groaned, climbing back into bed and falling head first into the pillow burying it into the soft feathers. With some peace an quiet after the most awkward and strange experience in my entire life, I could finally think straight. Oh yeah! The guy in my dream. Truthfully I have never even talked to him. I don't even know his name! I haven't had the courage to talk to him, but after what happened with Pinkie Pie, I don't think it could be any more embarrassing. I got up and flew out the door, I saw a lot of clouds, some looked dark and about to rain.

"How long was I asleep? Oh crap!". I thought out loud.

I looked at the time at the clocktower, it was 1:00 in the afternoon, I'm late! I zoomed up and started to clear the clouds. There were so many built up, more and more becoming black, I could hear the thunder starting. "Crap crap crap! I am in so much trouble!". Then I heard something, it wasn't thunder... It was a voice! I looked around for the source, then I peered down and saw him. The colt I had been dreaming about yelling up at me. I put my hand up to my ear and yelled

"What?".

The thunder was getting louder, drowning out what he was saying, all I heard was

"Out!".

Out? What does that mean? Out of what...? The thunder cleared just long enough for me to hear

"LOOK OUT!"

I looked up and saw a massive storm cloud above me. Then... Everything went black.
