Soarin and Rainbow Dash have been a known thing for quite some time now. Every interview, every meet-and-greet, every show, and every day, they are faced with the same love and hate from fans all over Equestria. Only the ones who bother to really observe see that the couple is just as innocent, sensitive, loyal, and sweet as they are raunchy, sexy, bold, and confident. Nothing can be a better representation of that than what went on at HQ.
He hates it more than words can express, but Soarin has always had a tendency to be overprotective of his mare, sometimes even jealous. And seeing that Dash happens to be one of the most attractive mares on the face of the planet, he has a good reason to be; stallions always seem to know the right buttons to press to make him feel jealous and threatened. Sometimes it doesn't even matter who the stallion is - if they overstep Rainbow's boundaries, it'll be enough to set him off. So when his cool finally slips around a fellow Wonderbolt, he doesn't expect his day to end very well.
What he doesn't realize is that Rainbow Dash is very aware of how he's like when he sees her with someone else. And she wouldn't change that for the world. She loves him inside-out and will be damned if doesn't know that.
For PimpArtst101's story contest for the given cover piece, and also inspired by Camila Cabello's song "Inside Out" off of her debut self-titled album. First time I've ever done something like this, but Imma tell you, this was SO much fun to do, and I hope you enjoy!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and I wish you the best of luck!
Liking it so far. Gonna finish it later :)
It's not bad!
It is really cute!!!
Never heard of this artist, but she has brought upon us a wave of Soarindash.
A goddess amongst men.
Oh Soarin. To be honest, I always pictured him as being the lead playcolt of the Bolts, but to be fair, I don't think there's a lot of material to base that idea off of. Still, that's just my headcannon. I do like the idea of another playcolt in there, though. No rule saying there can only be one, now, is there?
Quick question, what's the AU tag for? Maybe I'm just a bit dense, but I don't get it...

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you did fantastically. This is my first contest, too, so I'm in the same boat as you are

Ahhhhh, thank you so muuuuuch!!!
And yes, PimpArtist101 is an outstanding artist. I normally don't do things like this, but I thought it would be a fun little exercise for me, as well as give me a way to supply my readers with something since I've been kinda dead for the past year
And honestly, this version of Soarin is a bit different than the Soarin I usually envision. My Soarin is a little bit like this one, but a bit more charismatic than he is playcolt-ish; still has that charm and suave confidence, but is polite and flattering. Here I decided to go with the side that's more flirtatious, yet sensitive. But I can definitely see him as a playcolt, should someone portray that envisionment right
.
And the AU tag... I honestly have no clue
. I think I just put it there to be safe or something. I was in a low-key rush to finish this and put it out there, so the entirety of it needs a little bit of polishing, so I'll go back and fix it 
.
This was the cutest story I've ever read. You did such an amazing job and I really think you're going to win the competition. I love the artist and this story fits the picture perfectly. This is also how I picture Soarin to be. Love the ending and please please please please please make a sequel to it, I beg you. If you don't that's fine but It'd be really cool. Very well written and you honestly don't have to change anything.
Finished. This was a great fic. Don't bother with edits, it's perfect the way it is.
SoarinDash isn't my personal favorite ship, but this was adorable. Makes me need some cuddles too.

Oh, my gosh, thank you so much!!! It really does mean a lot to me that people seem to enjoy this, I'm like, so overwhelmed with all the positive feedback, thank you!!!
As for that sequel, I may or may not do one; probably an epilogue or something. Ya know... when I'm done fixing some small grammatical errors in this one

Haha! I remember when I first wrote that scene, I was giggling as I wrote it. I'm glad I was able to make you smile!

Aw, thank you! And by all means, go ahead! It is a very amusing interaction, and there are many ways to tweak it around and make it your own, should you decide to do that.
