Chapter 20 - Side Chapter - Rainbow Dash Interview...!
00xx00
With Rarity done it was time for them to move on to the next pony to interview. Having had to work out everyone's schedule because of their career there were only certain points in the day that each of them could be interviewed.
As such that meant Rainbow Dash would be the next to be interviewed considering that maintaining the weather patterns for a small town like Ponyville could be handled with a well-trained team in a matter of a few hours if they get started early enough.
With her usual energy and enthusiasm Rainbow Dashed strolled into the library and took her seat. "So Rainbow Dash you ready for the interview?"
"Course I am. Now all my adoring fans can finally have some of the answers to their questions answered." Rainbow Dash answered as she began to go into her own fantasy.
"The ponies in our head aren't real Rain. They are figments of your ima…" Naruto found himself cut off as a quick slap from Rainbow's wings cut off the verbal jab before it could be finished. Twilight looked rather alarmed at what happened, but Naruto merely turned to face her, clutching the back of his head as he grinned. "Rain hitting me is just another one of our little jokes. Rain here likes to beat up on poor defenseless stallions like myself who can't defend themselves." He playfully teased as Rainbow Dash folded her arms and snorted.
"Defenseless my right flank." She shot back at the stallion as Twilight was alarmed again, this time by the use of the Pegasus language. Considering that Twilight was rather educated and thought of herself as an amateur scholar she never found herself using such terms or forms of slang.
Loudly Twilight cleared her throat to gain their attention.
"Right the interview. You ready rain?"
"Whenever you're ready," Rainbow Dash shrugged coolly.
"Now the first question we have is do you have any nicknames or aliases that you use? Maybe for your career or for any other professional or personal reasons?"
"Besides Dash and Rain not really? I don't have much need for false names or nothing like that. "
Twilight made a note of the nicknames.
"What about your date of birth?"
"August 17th, 2001 AD. Keep them coming."
"Now your height?" As soon as the question left Twilight's lips Rainbow Dash's face tightened into a scowl.
"Part of the questioning Rain." He stated to the Pegasus hoping that Rainbow Dash wouldn't let the review fall into a somber experience because of the sore spot.
"Five foot-seven inches." She murmured as she suddenly found the table interesting. Twilight looked up from her pad and met with Naruto.
"Sensitive about her height." He whispered to her to which Twilight nodded in understanding.
"Okay Rainbow we're moving on to the next question. How much do you weight?"
"One-hundred and twenty-one pounds," This time Rainbow Dash answered a bit more lively.
This time Naruto spoke up. "Okay, would you be willing to identify your cute mark for us?" he asked, hoping that Rainbow Dash wouldn't take this opportunity for one of her lewd jokes. Unfortunately Naruto knew her all too well.
"Well it's a tri colored thunderbolt with the colors of red, blue, and yellow inside said thunderbolt." Rainbow Dash took the opportunity to stand up and pull down her pants enough to flash the blond. "Been dying to see this for a while right?" she finished with a wink as Naruto blushed furiously and looked away.
A faint blush dusted Twilight's cheeks as she felt like she was intruding on something rather personal.
"I'm pretty sure Twilight doesn't want to see your plot Rain. Will you quit messing around?" he said as Rainbow Dash retorted with a raspberry. "Meh you're no fun."
Naruto was inwardly cursing the Sun Goddess known as Celestia and considering creating a faction in the name of Luna to praise her name. Surely Luna was not a pony who was an infamous prank puller right?
"We need…well we need…" A moan escaped Naruto's lips as he clasped his face with his right hand.
"What Naruto is trying to say is your measurements are needed to answer the next question." Twilight explained as her focus now seemed glued to her note pad.
"I don't know Twilight," a smirk adorned Naruto's lips. "Seems less like questions for the princess and more like wan…"
"Don't you finish that statement miss little sunshine!" Naruto interrupted her with a verbal jab whose meaning went over Twilight's head. Whatever that meant it was enough to make Rainbow Dash blush and Naruto to grin triumphantly. Twilight was sure of one thing.
Her friends were weird.
"Alright, as for my measurements Thirty-two C for my bust, Twenty –six inches for my waist, and thirty-six for my hips. Really odd question if you ask me."
"With those out of the way," Twilight cut in. "Now to ask you some questions about your Education."
Rainbow Dash's postures physically changed upon hearing that going as far as going stiff. "I don't want to talk about that, go on to the next question."
Twilight was about to bring up the question as to why Rainbow Dash didn't want to mention that when Naruto cut her off.
"Your occupation then? Head of the Ponyville Weather Patrol right?"
Rainbow Dash nodded as she flashed the blond a grateful smile.
Despite being a bit miffed at something like education being glossed over Twilight decided to respect the mare's wishes.
"Economic status?"
"I do pretty well. I mean the pay is your average Weather Captain's salary so its decent enough to live off of, but I don't expect to be taking any lavish vacations or nothing like that any time soon. Not to mention I live in a cloud home so that's pretty convenient in terms of not having to worry about most of the taxes and such that comes with a house.
"Are there any illnesses, allergies, or injuries in your medical history?"
Rainbow Dash leaned back in her chair and began tapping her chin. "Well there was that wing injury I had a week ago. Busted a few ribs a few months ago. Oh there was the time I smashed my hand and let me tell you something that really sucked." Rainbow Dash spent the next few minutes listing off her rather accident prone injuries. As for any series illnesses or allergies nothing came to mind for the mare.
"Now is there any event in your history that deals with any possible criminal activity or crimes committed?"
"No, definitely not." Rainbow Dash answered seriously and decisively. She then shot a glance at Naruto. "Hey Twi, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you think I can talk to Naruto alone for this next part. You're my friend and all, but its really kind of personal you know." Rainbow Dash softly pleaded.
A bit concerned Twilight had to stop herself from asking what it was. If it was personal enough that Rainbow Dash didn't feel like sharing with her at the moment she didn't have much choice, but to respect her wishes.
"O-Ok. Call me back when you finish the discussion of that particular topic then."
"Thanks, only take about ten minutes top." Rainbow Dash promised as Twilight merely nodded, got up, and decided to head into the kitchen to make something. By the time Twilight returned she couldn't help but notice Naruto made some notes on his past and she got a glimpse of the first few letters, FLIG, to which Twilight wondered if the incident she didn't feel like talk about had to deal with flying?
Either way it didn't matter as Naruto asked her what question they were going with next bringing their focus back to the interview which was still on going.
Finally it was going on near Two P.M. when they finally finished. "Is there anything else you wish to know?"
Twilight finished writing down what she needed to before smiling. "Well, then. That's all. Thank you for the time. "
"Hopefully the next time we have this little get together it won't take as long." Rainbow Dash stood up and yawned, stretching both her arms and wings. "That entire interview sucked the energy out of me."
"Yeah, yeah, go find a cloud to laze on," Naruto said as Rainbow Dashed nearly stuck her tongue out at the blond before saying goodbye and taking flight outside of the library. With the Prism Mare done that left three more to go...
