*tick* *tok* *tik* *tok*

Rainbow watched the clock intently as it passed the 5 o’clock mark.

“Hehe, you sure are nervous Dashie”

Pinkie giggled as she stuck a tray of sweet batter in the Sugar cube corners kitchen oven

“Haven’t you been on a date before?”

She questioned

“Of course I have! It’s just been so long since I’ve had a good date...”

She lowered her voice

“Come to think of it... it’s been so long since I’ve even had a date at all...”

Pinkie stopped her baking process and looked at Dash

“Why do you think that is Dashie?”

Genuinely looking concerned for her friends feelings

“I don’t know... I guess I scare guys away with my huge ego... who would love a blowhard anyway...”

Rainbow sunk her head and looked at the floor

“Come on Dashie, we all have character traits, some more likable than the others but they are all the things that make you, you, and we love you. I’m sure your new date will too!”

Pinkie had a way with words that could make anyone feel good about themselves, but not this time.

“Thanks pinkie but... am I worth it? Am I actually worth being loved? I’ve never been in a relationship that lasted, who is to say that this one will... if it even gets to that stage that is!”

Rainbow seemed desolate, a sight that was foreign to Pinkie Pie and a sight that she wanted to change.

“Rainbow, there can’t even be an end if there isn’t a start, Say you didn’t get up today and stayed in bed like you wanted, you wouldn’t even be getting ready for a date in an hour! If you don’t get out there you’ll never know what lies ahead!”

This sentiment made Dash look up at Pinkie, who was standing in front of her holding a mirror. She had walked over to Dash while she was talking and took her hair out of her eyes and tied it into a ponytail and then picked up a mirror and held it in front of her.

“Who is this?”

Pinkie asked with all seriousness

Rainbow wasn’t in the mood for games

“Pinkie thanks and all but I don’t need-“

“I said... who is this?”

Pinkie held her determined facial expression

“It’s me...”

Rainbow replied as if she couldn’t care less

“Whos me?”

The Pink mare demanded

“Rainbow Dash...”

Rainbow humored her

Pinkie started speaking quite assertively, like a sports coach would to their team before a big game

“Yes you are, and the last time I checked Rainbow Dash was a beautiful mare that wore a smile on her face and took each day as it came; now I don’t know what you’ve done with her but can she come back?”

Rainbow smiled and held back a tear

“Because she has a date in 30 minutes and I know she'd want to look her best!”

Rainbow found her confidence once more and stood up looking as determined as ever

“Come on Pinkie, we’ve got some styling to do!”

Pinkie looked a bit embarrassed

“Umm... you go ahead Dash, i've got an oven to turn off...”

She hurried over to the oven which had a large ploom of smoke hanging over it. She opened the oven and lifted the Smokey tray out with some pink oven gloves.

“Guess these cupcakes are a bit overdone...”

She said quite sadly as she looked at the charred remains of her once tasty batter

___________________________________________________________________________

The next thirty minutes were a blur. A pink blur actually.

Pinkie was running around her room trying to find various items to make Rainbow as presentable as possible.

“Pinkie come on, there’s not a lot of time left! Can I please open my eyes now...”

Rainbow was becoming impatient as time was beginning to run out

“Yeah yeah yeah, I’m almost done... Alright... Look!”

Pinkie yelled excitedly, her grin was from ear to ear

Although Pinkie was a pastry chef who only dressed baked goods for a living she also could dress hair amazingly as well (how do you think she kept her mane the way she did!).

Rainbows expression said it all. It was beautiful. A style even Rarity would envy.

Her normally unkempt wavy mane was smooth and neat. The back of her mane was tied in a ponytail that displayed all of the colours her hair had to offer. Casual, yet elegant

“Don’t mind me saying this Rainbow but you look absolutely.... DASHING!”

Pinkie burst into hysterics, she certainly knew how to make herself laugh.

Rainbows look of amazement turned to one of horror as she heard Sugar cube corners walk in door bell ring.

“Hes here...”

another longer update plzzzz?

[CutieMarkChallenged]

My only problem is that I've read about 12 Soarin/Rainbowdash stories in the past 24 hours. And that means that I have to re-read some of the story to know which one it is. But then again, that just means more ponies, so what could be wrong with that? (there needs to be wonderbolt emoticons.)

*after rading chapter* but.... But...... But...... Huh?

You alright?

[CutieMarkChallenged]

Honest answer? Absolutely not, but most of that is of no relivance to ponies. But ponies makes me feel better. A Dash Of Faith's cover icon is now my background and screensaver. that's my fave emoticon.

Wishing the updates were a bit longer but overall very well written!

“Because she has a date in 30 minutes and I know shed want to look her best!”

Didn't know the shed would want to look good, but whatevs...In all seriousness it be she'd.

Again with the short chapter man, but at least you update yours. I haven't updated anything about more stories in almost two months. Speaking of which, I should probably get back on.

Keep on writing, and keep up the good work.
