After being cured by Twilight's spell and creating the bat sanctuary in the apple orchard, Fluttershy learns that she still has some bat blood inside her. And that the bat side of her is thirsty. So thirsty...

[A/N: Rated teen for mild language, blood, mild violence and sexual references. (If this ends up rated mature, there will be no clop in it. Sorry, but this isn't one of those stories. Go read Triage for that). I guess this could be considered AU since it takes place shortly after "Bats!" But at the same time it isn't since Fluttershy did still have the fang at the end of the episode, and I'm just expanding on that in my own special way. Hope you enjoy!]

(Spoilers in the comments so be warned.)

This story is a sequel to Free Falling

After bumping into each other during a rainstorm, the adventure between Rainbow Dash and Soarin continues when Soarin decides where they should go to hangout over the weekend together.

Rainbow Dash doesn't act so much like her normal, brash self when she's around Soarin, and this doesn't go unnoticed by a certain, pink Earth pony...

Oh boy.

Rainbow Dash loves flying more than anything else in the world. Anyone can see the passion that burns in her eyes while she's soaring high above the clouds riding the tailwinds. She lives for adventure no matter what the cost may be.

Does anything out there have the ability to outrival her love of flight?
