The mane-six want to have fun at the beach along with Spike. During the water filled weekend, Dash has been acting rather... odd around Spike. Overly teasing; physically getting close to him; acting like it's nothing. Just what is Rainbow trying to tell him?

It's been a few years, but it finally happened. Rarity finally told him it just wasn't gong to work out. Now all Spike wants to do is sit in his room and wallow in his misery. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash has other ideas. After all, she needs a partner for the Equestrian Unity Challenge and he could use some time away from home. Of course, making a partnership work is hard enough without the introduction of unexpected rivals or unexpected feelings.

(Written for the fourth SpikeDash competition. As this is under some constraints as a contest entry, this may see later expansion.)

(Thanks to Rocinante for pre-reading/editing.)

Confused, Spike wakes up to find himself in a predicament that he wouldn't be in by choice.

He doesn't mind all that much though.

Absolutely zero editing nor proof-reading was put into this. Consider that.

Spike chose the wrong day to get lost in high school territory. Him and his friends just wanted to take a shortcut to get to the bus quicker so that they wouldn't be late. As they pass the windows of the Canterlot High gym, they hear someone fighting, then peek inside. He and his friends spot a boxer training, so with their interest at its highest summit they watch the mystery person train. Then as, they saw him go to the locker room, they decided to follow him to the next window.

However he is actually a she. A fearsome one at that.

Events from those stories have influenced this one. Some things might not make sense if you have not read these stories.

Nothing's wrong with me, I know it. I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria. There isn't anything out there that I can't do, except apparently find a pony of my own.

Even the Gala let me down.

But I have a feeling that everything is going to change soon. I don't know what it is, but I just know that somepony is going to sweep me off my feet...
