…until she came along…

Life as a living legend isn't all it’s cracked up to be. Living in the wake of one isn't any easier. As they finally go their separate ways, Dash and Applejack begin to remember the way life was…and how it's all changed.

For the largest legends always cast the longest shadows.

A story chronicling the events after Twilight's coronation. Takes place after Season 3, assuming Season 4 never happened.

There are many dangerous and challenging things in life. Many things that test a pony's character, stamina, and endurance. There are races, there are obstacles, and contests of skill, then there is a little-thought-of test that nopony thinks about; healing.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been through many Iron Pony Competitions, but when one lands them in the hospital with six weeks of bedrest they find themselves facing what is probably the hardest thing any of them have ever done.

Allowing themselves to lean on others for the support they need to get better. Come join our heros as they dare to heal.

Being Daring isn't the absence of fear, but doing the right thing despite the fear.

After a long stretch of time, Soarin is finally able to get to talk to Rainbow Dash (with the persuasion of some friends). They spend time together, and he finally realizes that he might have a chance to be with the pony of his dreams. But when the threat of war begins to hang over Equestria, will they be able to maintain their new feelings, or be swept away in the fighting?

So this is my first fanfic. Ever. I appreciate all constructive criticsm, sugggestions, questions, etc. This story will take time to develop into the war story, so just be patient. Also, if you give a thumbs down, please say why. I am not a writing expert, so I am always looking for ways to improve!

Some language, violence later on. Don't worry, I got this whole thing planned out :)

EDIT: Credits to my Creative Consultant and Co-Author Wingstream, both for his character and for the fantastic cover art.

Rainbow Dash bumps into Soarin' during a flight session, but the Wonderbolt asks for her help. The two pegasi end up on an adventure to retrieve an object for Spitfire at the edge of Equestria, and on the way find out more about themselves and each other.

Thanks to StormbadgerXIII for helping me expand the description. Also, I drew the cover image.

Sequel to Trapped
Rainbow Dash and Soarin' are both out of the hospital and have one month to spare before Soarin' has to return to his duties as a Wonderbolt. Will the traumatic events which occurred not even a week ago come between both ponies and their dreams?

Again, image from an episode until I have time to create my own!

Rainbow Dash adores the Wonderbolts, and when they have a show in Ponyville, how can she not buy tickets?
However, something goes wrong, causing Rainbow and a Wonderbolt to be trapped in a terrible situation.

The next story in the series is Free to Fly!

Yes, I used coverart from an episode, simply because it fits the story! :3

Soarin bit his lip in annoyance. "That's blackmail."
Surprise smiled innocently. "Oh is it? I didn't realise!"

An opening of an art exhibition featuring the Wonderbolts premieres in Canterlot, drawing crowds of enthusiastic upper-crust ponies along with two much less enthusiastic Wonderbolts; Soarin and Surprise. Readying themselves in for a long and boring night of photos, autographs and hanger-oners, the unexpected arrival of a guest opens a door to Soarin's past; a door Surprise is all too happy to pry open a little further...

In his quest to become a Wonderbolt, Soarin' finds himself saddled with the responsibility of being the Element of Loyalty and trying to keep up with the newest Wonderbolt, Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash has always thought highly of having friends, and never leaving them behind. However, when someone comes forward and confesses a deeper set of feelings for the athletic pegasus, she has no idea of how to react.
