DAY 6
ON DECK

how does she keep escaping —You thought you would at least find Dash participating in a sound check with her friends, but M.I.A once again. Present were Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight, and Sunset, the first three appearing borderline depressed.

"Look at us!" Twilight started in an attempt to alleviate the gloomy atmosphere. "We've made major milestones in our music career and are now getting ready to play at one of the most luxurious yachts!"

"I mean... who knows what hijinks will ensue, right? Maybe I'll fall in the pool, fully clothed! and everyone will laugh!" She rigidly chuckled.

"What are you, a masochist?" you joked with a sneering smile, making both her and Sunset turn around. The others already knew you were here since they were facing you.

The latter gasped, "[First name], just in time!"

Your eyebrows raised as she jogged to you. "I... desperately need you to talk to Rainbow. She'll take criticism better if it's from you."

"Because... I'm sure you can see it. She's... ruining the vacation," Sunset's hand gestured behind her and to her three, gloomier friends.

she has such good intentions, it just doesn't come out that way all the time —You sighed. "Yeah, will do."

"Thank you so much." And speak of the devil, Dash called your name as she was running up.

"ダーリン," you smiled as you turned around, taking her hand and immediately walking away.
- Da—rin → Darling

Her eyebrows raised but before she could stop and question you, you turned around and gently held Dash's face and kissed her. You two were now hidden behind one of the larger props.

"A!- Wait, I have to..." Except when you pulled away, she could only stammer, her cheeks flushing.

"Where have you been?" You would try to ease the criticism into conversation. Dash was sensitive.

"Just... looking... for stuff. ...Trixie gave me a good idea."

"Magic?"

"S-Stop looking at me like that!" You laughed as she covered your eyes. Perhaps you were making them a little softer to get her off her guard.

"I think... you're still too worried, and you're affecting your friends now," you still smiled as you took her hand off of your eyes.

"I'm not saying I don't believe you, but you're being a little overbearing considering you have no leads. I was okay with it, but not everyone wants to fight magic this time, and it's okay you do, but you can't force that excitement on other people because it's not excitement for them."

Her eyes softened. "I love you, okay? But they've had to go five days of something equivalent to rumors. I'll let you humor me after your concert, but just us, okay? Every time we have time to hang out, you leave and go worry about the magic. You even stay up later."

"Okay?" You held her face.

"...Yeah."

"Really? You still have 30 minutes, we can talk about it."
