”Soarin please explain.” Rainbow Dash said and pointed at Scootaloo.

“Well… um… you see I kinda have decided to take her under my wing.” Soarin struggled to answer. Scootaloo was just standing between his legs and looking at the mare who was clearly a bit annoyed that her coltfriend had taken her in without asking her opinion.

“Soarin…” Rainbow Dash sighed. “I can’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t do… but I really would like you to talk to me about these things… even though our relationship is…”

“Cold.” Soarin finished her sentence for her.

“Yeah… you know I really miss the early days of our relationship… but I guess we have grown apart.” Rainbow Dash said while remembering all the dates and nights they had shared with each other. She didn’t regret them. She still loved him… but sometimes these things happen. Soarin also realized what she meant and decided to walk up to her and hug her tightly. She returned the embrace and he felt her tears drop down to his shoulders.

“Rainbow Dash… I love you but…”

“We both know this isn’t gonna work.” She said and kissed him. “Maybe once we have more time for each other we can do this but…”

“Not now.” Soarin said and kissed her. Scootaloo was looking at them. She knew they were breaking up but it wasn’t like they hated each other… even thou she was young she knew what two ponies who were in love looked like.

“Soarin… I love you.”

“I love you too Dashie… can you promise me one thing?”

“What is it Soarin?” 

“Once our schedule calms down we will get back together and do all the things we talked about during the last six months.” Soarin said and smiled.

“Our house…” Rainbow Dash started and smiled. “our wedding…” She said and kissed him lightly. “And our family… I'll promise you i will come back once i've got more time... but I think that you have somepony to look after and I’ve got my job.” And with that she backed off a bit leaving him with one last kiss and a smile.

Scootaloo walked up to Soarin as the Rainbow maned Pegasus walked away happily. “Did you just to just break up?”

“Yep… it’s for the best right now. it’s not like I don’t love her anymore but I haven’t got the time that she deserves… and talking about time…” Soarin said and picked up Scootaloo and smiled widely. “I need to give you most of my time.” He said and hugged her.

“But you are a wonderbolt… you’ve got shows and training sessions…” Scootaloo said but Soarin cut her off.

“Yeah but you can surely travel with me sometimes and I’ll talk to Spitfire about more relaxed training.” Soarin said and smiled. He knew he was doing the right thing. Scootaloo was his new priority number one and nopony was going to come between him and her. He also knew that Dash would stay loyal to him and sooner or later when both of them had time they could get back together. But for now Scootaloo was the thing he needed to focus.

“So Scoots, I think that we need to go and pay a visit to the social services and get you in to a foster home.” Soarin picked her up to his back and started to walk back to the lobby of the compound.

“But I thought I was going to be living with you Soarin.” Scootaloo said in disappointment.

“Of course you will be living with me. We just gotta get me to be your new foster parent and maybe someday I could adopt you.” Soarin said happily.

“Really? You would do that for me?” Scootaloo said in excitement. She saw how much Soarin was ready to do for her… Nopony had ever given so much for her or cared about her… maybe she had found somepony to call her dad…
