This story is a sequel to Head in the Clouds

Written for a small group contest. (Placed 1st! Thank you all for the support!)

Rainbow Dash and Soarin are extremely unsatisfied with how they left their relationship upon parting ways. Friends with benefits sounds nice, but once apart they both realize just how much the other means to them. Unfortunately now neither are in a position to confront the other and reveal what pulls at both their hearts: Love.

Soarin may be duty bound and unable to act, but Dash jumps at an opportunity that could turn their relationship into the direction they both truly want. A story of not accepting barriers. True love exists on all levels and distances.

(Note: this story was admittedly rushed for a contest. Looking back on it now, there are some inconsistencies, such as some of Dash's abilities. The end may seem a bit squished as well. I apologize in advance)

Rainbow Dash is visited by Soarin not too long after the Royal Wedding. The two decide to spend some time together... But Dash gets confused about her feelings, so she goes around trying to figure out what the hay is going on. As much as she hates to admit it, she's pretty clueless when it comes to romance. Unfortunately, so are most of her friends, but Rarity knows what to tell her- And Rainbow Dash isn't quite so willing to accept the truth.

Umm... Very first pony fanfic, I guess. Please, feel free to give constructive criticism. I won't take offense. And if you should choose to thumbs down it please say why, it might help me be a better writer. :)

...unless you just don't like the SoarinDash ship, in which case, why are you reading this?

Rated Teen for some language. Some. Maybe. Also for some hinted sexual themes and sex jokes. It's not going to be too bad though.
