Fuck if you know. You can’t read pony expressions for shit >No seriously. You can’t. The massive eyes, the ears and tail. It’s all just a mass overload of information, and sometimes it seems contradictory. >Trying to keep a track of every little tell, and then paint a picture with all the information you may or may not have gathered has resulted in more than one unpleasant misunderstanding. >Not really too surprising. You couldn’t read people back home for shit either. >This has resulted in you almost giving up trying to read ponies mood. >Looking from Twilight over to the pegasus deathbringer you notice something odd. >She’s holding one hoof in front of her face. Shaking uncontrollably. >Shaking intensifies. >Twilight seems to notice as well and has stopped giving you the judgmental eyebrow >She needed that eyebrow so she could give the shaking Pegasus the quizzical eyebrow instead. >”Rainbow? What’s wrong with you?” >That apparently, opened the floodgates. >It started with a snort, then a gasping giggle. >And then it devolved into a full on guffaw with spit, tears and snot. >You woulda been put out hadn’t it been for the fact that her voice cracking laughter was entirely too infectious and you started slowly giggling too. >And of course, that leaves purple princess looking at you two as if you’ve grown three heads and pinkie was cleaning out the leftmost heads ear. >”What is wrong with you two!?” >Oopsie, Twilight seems to be at the end of her patience. >After several seconds of dry heaving from Rainbow, you managed to get yourself together enough to talk “Well… It was an honest question” >You say defensively >Twilight just groans and face hoof's   >Rainbow get’s her head up on the table in front of you and manages to talk through several halting giggles. >”Aah. That was great. You saying that with a straight face, tied to a chair like that. Perfect!” >You snicker and give her a wink >You bold green bastard you >Twilight, now having finished with giving herself a face massage turns back to you two with a serious expression. >”Now, I’ve called you two guys here so-” “I got dragged against my will and tied to a chair, so I resent that” >”Ugh! Fine. I’ve called Rainbow here and tied you up so that you don’t go disappearing again like the last seven times.” “Thank you. Just wanting it clear” >”So! That you two can talk out whatever differences you have and I don’t have to go around feeling a disturbance in the friendship magic anymore” “Twilight. I am your father” >”What? No. No I don’t even want to know. You are to talk this out and neither of you are coming out until you do.” >Twilight promptly leaves the room, closes the exit and puts up some sort of shimmering magic field over the interior. >You look over at Rainbow, who is just looking after Twilight with a raised eyebrow. >”What’s her deal?” She asks, looking at you inquisitively. >You look back at her and give one of those universal “Fuck’d if I know” look. “Would you mind untying me? The ropes chafing” >Rainbow gets up and clops over to you, trying to undo the knot keeping you tied up. >It’s at her close proximity you promptly remember that you were scared for your life. >And now, she’s behind you. >Where you can’t see what she’s doing. >And she’s got a rope to strangle you with. >Sweat starting to accumulate on your brow as you hurriedly start stuttering out the first thing that comes to mind. “I AM SO SORRY I MESSED UP YOUR TRAINING! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!” >Spaghetti level overflowing, reaching critical mass. Incoming noodle payload. Immediate evasive maneuvers recommended.   “I’LL EVEN PREEN YOUR WINGS!” >Evasive maneuvers failed. Abandon ship! I repeat! Abandon ship! … She’s going down sir. Any last statements? -Never did have a chance with that vessel anyway. Hopefully the next one will be inclined to listen to my advice- Not a chance in hell brain. -Ah well. One can dream- >Rainbow stopped fidgeting with the knot behind the chair and clopped around to look at you. >She’s got this “Wat” expression combined with “This guy needs medical attention” >”Are you okay? You know I wasn’t really that angry with you right? I mean, c’mon I got over that weeks ago! Is that why you’ve been running away full spring every time I flew by?” >Rainbow looks into the vacant expression on your face, confused by your stillness. >Eyes are glassed over. >Mouth hanging open in slack jawed expression. >”Hello~ Equestria to green dude! You okay in there?” -Is she talking to me?- Nope, pretty sure she’s talking to the conscious -Didn’t we give up on that guy?- Don’t ask me, I’m the one responsible for the feelings. Driving this thing is your job. -Fucking hell… Never appreciated- … Booting Consciousness .... !WARNING! Dangerous levels of shame and self disgust has contaminated the executable “Consciousness” Do you wish to proceed? Y/N -God dammit heart. Why are you making my job worse?- Dude. I’m just doing my job. He fucked up. He’s gotta feel the consequences. -I swear to God, one of these days I’m just shutting myself off and you can be a vegetable for all I care- ... Y … … Boot complete … “HOLY FLAMINGO WITH BALLERINA SKIRT!” >You are acutely aware of your surroundings. >You also want to dig a ditch and die in it. >Pretty sure your face has changed colors from green to red sometime in the past 10 seconds. >”Oookay. I’ll just get you out of that chair and you can be on your way. Sounds good? Great!” >Rainbow has abandoned the untying tactic and is not just straight out gnawing on the ropes   >You have the distinct impression she wants to get away from you as fast as humanly possible. Which, in retrospect isn’t all that fast, when she’s a pegasus. >As fast as pegasly possible? >Sounds off… ”I’m sorry, I think I just freaked out for a second there.” >There’s a snort from behind your chair >”You think? Don’t worry about it. I’ll get you loose, and I’ll be out of your mane or whatever.” >By the tone of her voice she sounds sorta upset. >That’s not what you want. >For one, she’s saved your life. >She might also end said life in a fit of rage >Better work this out. Somehow. ”I am really sorry about messing up your training back then” >You are talking with your voice so dripping in added guilt it’s liable to drown somebody. >”Seriously, don’t worry about it. I’ve talked to Twilight and heard how you weren’t in control of what was going on” >Rainbow had gotten you loose at this point and was standing in front of your chair again. >”In fact, I should be the one to apologize for yelling so much at you. From what I heard, you thought you were going to die” >Looking at her slightly guilty expression with her eyes averted and head slightly downcast sent a flutter through your chest. >You don’t know why, but it almost physically hurt to see her like this. >Damn ponies and their diabetes inducing cuteness “No Rainbow. It’s okay! You saved my life. I can’t ever thank you enough for that” >Snapping out of her funk so fast you almost got a whiplash she stands in a proud pose >”Ehehe, just being awesome as usual. You’re very welcome” >The cocky grin and with her wings splayed upwards makes her so adorable you can’t contain a snicker >”W-what? It’s true!” >Rainbow’s glaring at you with an indignant expression on her face “Yes, yes it is. I’m sorry Rainbow, you were just acting so adorable for a second there I couldn’t help myself” >Her wings flapping Rainbow stomps a hoof into the ground >”I’m not adorable!” >She promptly turns around and leaves the room. >That is, she tried to leave the room but slams headfirst into the unopenable door. >”Horseapples! Twilight! Open this door! We’re done!”
