When Trouble Comes: A sequel to "Through the other Dimension"

Chapter 3: Rainbow Dash's POV

I trotted to Lance's house to thank him for the Dandelions and Cupcake as I tried to figure out why in the world he didn't give them to me personally, but instead gave them to the Cutie Mark Crusaders to give to me. Lance was a mystery to me right now. All he ever does now is work, he works at the bakery with Pinkie Pie (God Bless Him!), and comes back to his little abode in the forest, where he rents from Fluttershy, ever since his sister, Destiny, left to make a difference in the world in that other dimension. I felt pretty bad for my coltfriend, about Destiny leaving in all. I promised Des that I would keep an eye on him, and so far I was failing miserably. I sighed, because... because... i'd hate to admit this, but I actually sort of missed Destiny Hope. She was pretty cool, but I was 20% cooler than her.

The sun was setting in the west as I finally made it to Lance's house. I approached his door and knocked. No answer. I knocked again, but a little harder this time. Still no answer.

"ALRIGHT, LANCE, YOU HAVE THE COUNT OF THREE TO OPEN THIS DOOR OR ELSE I'M KNOCKING THIS DOOR DOWN," I continued as I backed up and stood in my stance, "ONE....... TWO........ DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.......... THREE!!!!!!" I charged at the speed of lightning, but instead of knocking the door down, the door opened and I crashed into a now confused Lance. I toppled on top of him and we collided our heads together, which hurt.

"OW!" We both owed at the same time. I stayed laying on top of Lance, who looked at me in my eyes.

"You had to open the door as I was about to knock down your door in style," I stated as I got off of Lance.

"Sorry, I was in my bedroom reading Destiny's letter, you know how my room is all the way back there," he pointed to the backroom which was in the back, "and the front door is all the way over there." He pointed to the front door, which was still wide open.

"That's true, but it's rude to keep your Marefriend waiting," I back talked as I went to the freezer and got out two packs of ice and tossed one to Lance. He placed it gently on his now bruised head and went in front of me.

"And now I'm here," he replied as he gave me a quick kiss on the lips and went to his bedroom. I followed him and jumped on top of his bed and cuddled with his ancient stuffed dragon. Lance went to his desk and opened his Communication Journal.

"Lance, could you please read Destiny's letter out loud to me, please?" I asked as I sat up, still holding the stuffed dragon on my lap. He looked back at me.

"Do you really want to hear it, because I didn't even read it myself yet. I only read the first line when I was rudely interrupted," he glared at me, but than relaxed alittle when he saw I didn't change my facial expression.

"Please?" I begged. He sighed.

"Fine, but don't interrupt me until I'm done reading the letter."

"Yes, sir." I saluted and he laughed lightheartedly as he began.

"Dear Sunshine," I laughed but than stopped because I knew he was sensitive about that stuff, "Thank Twilight for answering my question for me, because it did help in a way. Right now I'm going insane, because Nathin asked me out!!!! Then today Sonic Thunder ran into me as I was reading your letter, and we sorta hanged out alone at the football stadium, talking about random stuff. Now I don't know who I like!!!! Okay, technically I don't exactly like Nathin, but I'm supposed to answer him in three days time, but I don't want to say no because... because... ARGH!!!! It's complicated! Anyhow, tell the girls that I say hi, miss them, all that mushy gushy stuff. Yours truly, Destiny Hope." I was confused.

"That's it?" I asked disappointed. Lance was looking at something at the bottom of the page.

"Well, there is this P.S. part, but I'd rather not read it out loud," he replied as he closed the Journal and turned around to face me.
