You Did Something to Make Her Love You
Chapter Five
By MixA4
Friday morning. Just four classes to knock out until you can veg out for a weekend and totally forget about school. Well, mostly forget about school. There's one particular girl who will likely be occupying your thoughts for a weekend.
As you trudge down the hallway, your attention is split between an article pulled up on your phone, and making sure you don't smack into a student.
....Authorities have been able to fully verify the existence of a force known as 'magic' within our universe; small traces of it can be found everywhere, from....
A noise catches your attention. The high speed clip-clap of shoes against a hard floor makes you spin around just in time to have Rainbow Dash tackle you with a big hug.
"Hi, Blu!" Rainbow Dash coos, her arms wrapped firmly around you with her face buried into your chest.
"Good morning to you too, Dash!" you say, steadying yourself. Rainbow Dash giggles, her grip is unfaltering.
"Are you ready for the weekend?" she asks, her face beaming. You notice that you're catching a few stares from other students.
"Oh yeah," You say. "Are you?"
"Totally!" her sheer enthusiasm alone is enough to drag a large smile out of you. Add in the fact that she's inches away from your face with her arms locked around your neck, and you can already feel yourself sharing in her excitement. "Do you have any plans for this weekend?"
"Well, I was going to try beating my television at a staring contest, so no." you chuckle at your own (very) dumb joke.
"That's good!" Dash says.
Wait, what? Doing nothing all weekend is a good thing? You cock an eyebrow.
"Er... I mean, that's not good," Dash recoils slightly. "B-but at least you're free to do stuff, right?"
"I'd guess so, though I'm not exactly great at planning out my weekends." you mentally start counting the weekends you've wasted this year alone just playing video games. Right then, the bell for first period rings.
"Aw, I gotta head to class." Dash mopes. "But I'll see you at lunch, right?"
"Of course." You reply. Dash smiles.
"Great! I'll see you later, Blu!" Dash gives you a squeeze and zips off to her first class, leaving you with the stares of several students. You merely crack a smile and head off to Geometry, a feeling a lightheartedness making you almost look forward to the class.
Almost.
Geometry seems even more monotonous than normal today, but thankfully passes swiftly. It might have been because you kept almost falling asleep halfway through the lecture. Either way, History comes next, which ranks slightly above Geometry in your personal 'Most Hated Classes' list. However, after hearing another drawl on the French Revolution, it too comes to a close. Time for lunch!
You take a spot in the remarkably small lunch line and survey the menu choices. Salads, pizza, and lasagna speckle lunch tables as you slowly get closer to picking out a lunch for yourself. You're almost to the front when someone places a hand on your shoulder.
"Hey, Blu?" You spin around and come face-to-face with Rainbow Dash. Figuratively, anyways. She outright refuses to look at you.
"Hey Dash, what's up?" You ask.
"Erm, nothing." She says, still avoiding any eye contact. "Could you, uh, follow me? I need to ask you something."
"Uh, yeah, sure." You say, reluctantly following Dash out of the line. She leads you out to the now deserted hallways. You can hear the clamour of a Canterlot High lunchtime echo through the halls, but otherwise everything is silent. With the much more effective lighting from the hallways, you can now clearly see Rainbow Dash, and it's much different than what you've seen before. She won't look at you even slightly, her face is completely red and flushed, she's fidgeting with her hands, and she's noticeably trembling. You immediately feel a sense of worry.
"Dash? Is everything alright?" You ask.
"Uh, yeah, yeah, everything's fine." She says, still avoiding your gaze. "But, I... Need to ask you something." You still can't get over her tremors. Is she sick? Did she injure herself again? Questions are running through your head faster than you can answer them.
"Yeah?" You reply, still deeply concerned.
"You, uh, you know what tomorrow is.. Right?" She asks.
"Yeah, it's Saturday, what's that got to do with anything?" You ask. Rainbow Dash takes a deep, quivering breath and forces herself to look right into your eyes. Her pupils are pinpoint, and you realize her face isn't flushed, instead she's blushing madly. She reaches into her pocket with twitching fingers and pulls out a shiny, glossy slip.
"Would you, um.. Would you like to go to the dance tomorrow? With... Me?" She asks. Suddenly, everything makes sense. The shaking, the blushing, she's in fight-or-flight mode.
And she's asking you out on a date.
"You're.... Asking me out?" You stutter, slightly in shock. You mentally slap yourself for asking such a stupid question. Rainbow Dash says nothing, she merely stands there; You can tell she's resisting the urge to turn away or run.
"Dash, I-I don't know what to say." Say recoils a bit, her eye twitches. "I'd love to go!"
It's like you flipped a switch in her head. Rainbow Dash instantly brightens up.
"You will?! Aw, yeah!" She squeals with delight. She throws her arms around you and pulls you into a big hug. "We're going to have the best time together, Blu! I just know it!" Once again, her sheer amount of excitability and energy goes right through. You begin laughing as you wrap your arms around Dash.
You and Rainbow Dash return to the cafeteria for lunch. To your dismay, the lunch line has grown about five times as large since you left, and you're stuck at the far end of it. Thankfully, Dash is right there beside you, still wearing the her big, adorable grin like she won the lottery. You finally get your lunch and head over to your new spot. You and Dash take your seats at her friends' table, although Dash is sitting considerably closer to you than normal.
"Where have you two been?" Applejack asks. Dash glances at you, still smiling widely.
"Waiting to get lunch." Rainbow Dash replies nonchalantly. Applejack raises an eyebrow, then smiles.
"Uh huh." She says. "Right."
"You spent that whole time just waiting for lunch? Lunch is almost over now, you hardly have any time to eat your food! If you really hurry, you can finish it before then end of lunch, but it might make your stomach hurt, like that one time I three batches of cupcakes in an hour. My stomach was achy for days!" Although you're learning to understand Pinkie a little better, her high-speed ramblings are still a lot for you to process.
"Don't worry, Pinkie." Dash says. "Lunch was well spent."
Well spent. Indeed it was.
You lost about seventy-five percent of your lunch break, but a date with Dash made it all worthwhile. Before you can leave the cafeteria for your next class, Dash stops you, ropes you into a hug, and kisses you on the cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow night, Blu. I can't wait."
Dashabetes!

Somehow I get the feeling afer the Sunday chapter the fanfiction is finished already..............
While I prefer that in some of the other storys, the main Char has less problem with the relationship stuff, and is more or less normal for a change, this main char is the next best I had to read about so far, and it´s a cute story.
I mean it´s nice to have a different Rainbow Dash, even if the main Char still hase a few little conniptions if he is thinking about a relatonship. (sorry I forgot which word I actually wanted to use.)
Well he is not that bad, just like it if it isn´t the main char that has the most problems with it for a change, but the other side, and in this story it is Ranibow Dash, but I guess she is so happy she doesn´t even notice everything that would normally be a embrassing situation to her.
I never really saw the point in teasing others about that sort of stuff, but I get used to read it, and it start´s to get funny.
Do they have parent´s in your story? I really want to see her really embrassed about something, maybe even desperate, thinking her parent´s ruined her chance to have a boyfriend, or something like that. Or maybe this is one of those storys, where Rainbow thinks most of the guys are affraid to date a girl like her if you know what I mean, and that she doesn´t really want to ask him, being affraid that she could ruined what she already has.
meehhh I just tried to explain it a little bit, since I really like to see storys that are a bit different, than what you usually would get.
However your story s definitly one of my top favourite Equestria girls storys so far, and the main char is quite alright so far.
I think I can give you a thumb up now, but I hope you have an idea how to extend the story after they got together, I would like to see how the story around them continues after they got together, how they treat each other, and stuff like that I guess.
Why doesn't this story have a 2nd person tag?
6913605 ......Oops
I love it :D
Fantastic!, Absolutely Fantastic!. will you be making a sequel when this fic is done? :)
6919508 I hadn't thought of it but I'll certainly consider it
This is one of my favorite stories. This is really good so far keep it up
And if I may, a suggestion. Have Blu beat up a kid for messing with Rainbow.
This is really good so far keep up The good work
Pleeeeeaseeeee write the next chapter you nerd!!
Are you gonna post the next chapter any time soon
6953075 Yes. That's a great idea
This is really adorable to read, keep up the good work with more chapters!
Love it......love everything about it!
Hey dude don't worry about update speed do it at your pace *tell him to do it faster!*like I said.your own pace...great story btw
I don't really go for stories about Rainbow Dash much less ones where "I" am with her, but dangit ya got me hooked!!!
Update soon!
I mentally replaced Blu with one of mine own OC's named Travis Tracer. A nerdy, US marine medic wannabe. (He later becomes a super soldier but that's not important.) This is some great stuff, brosnake. Keep it up! This chapter is the best one yet!
Awww... They make such a great couple.... awwww.
What the hell did I just say?!
WOOOHOOOOO!!!!
saturday!!!!!!!!!!
I would have said that Dashie is OOC, but I actually think not. She's annoyingly charming in her own way. Maybe a little bit of Tsundash later on?

More like G.O.A.T.
Blu is a nice guy, because I would’ve teased the hell out of her.
