//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 Who was she? // Story: Family of two // by Flat spin //------------------------------// MLP: FiM Family of two By: flat spin Rainbow Dash and Soarin were flying towards Canterlot mall. They saw ponies below them all going to do their hearts warming shopping. After all hearts warming was in four days and the shops would close tomorrow. Two of them landed near the mall and walked in. The mall was full of ponies doing their shopping. Soarin already had food and other stuff for hearts warming but he didn’t have a gift for Scootaloo… Well he had one… but he needed something else to give to her after all this was going to be her first hearts warming with a family. Soarin also knew he would have to buy Dash something… What would she like? Tickets to the next wonderbolt show?... No wait a second she is a wonderbolt dammit. Or maybe she would like some pie… No wait that’s him. He would like some pie. He looked at Rainbow Dash who was walking next to him and looking at the different stores. What was she thinking? “I need to get something to Soarin and to Scootaloo… Something awesome…” Rainbow Dash pondered as they were walking through the mall. “Soarin?” Rainbow Dash asked. “What does Scootaloo like?” “Well…” Soarin started but soon realised he didn’t really know what Scootaloo liked. She only told him the she adored the wonderbolts and him but she didn’t tell him anything else. “I dunno… What do you think we should get her?” Rainbow Dash looked at him and smiled. “Oh it’s “we” all the sudden again.” She said and gave him a light kiss. “Well… I just thought that it would be easier for us… and… you know…” Soarin awkwardly said and smiled. “It’s okay.” Rainbow Dash said and they turned around the corner. *THUMP* Soarin accidently walked right into another pony. “Oh god I’m so sorry miss.” Soarin quickly said and looked at the turquoise Pegasus mare who had a messy blonde mane. “Piss off dirt bag.” She angrily said and walked past him. “Some ponies have no manners.” Rainbow Dash said and looked at the mare who was walking away. She didn’t know why but for some reason she looked familiar… “What are you looking at?” Soarin asked Rainbow Dash as she was looking at the mare they had bumped into. “I dunno… She seemed familiar. I know I have seen her somewhere…” Rainbow Dash said as she spotted something else. “And I just found the perfect gift for Scootaloo!” She said and smiled. “Which is?” “That!” She said and pointed at a red skateboard. “She is gonna love it trust me.” “I think you might be right.” Soarin said and two of them walked into the store. “Hello.” Soarin said to the young stallion who was wearing a beanie and sitting on the counter. “wazzup dude.” He greeted. “What do you need.” “We would like to buy that skateboard.” Soarin said and pointed at the red skateboard on the store window. “Okay dude. Anything else? maybe a helmet?” The store employee said as he picked up the skateboard. “Yeah…” Soarin said and saw a black skateboard on the store wall… That reminded him that he had to get a gift for Rumble as well if he was going to spend the holiday with them. “And that black skateboard as well.” “And a helmet to go with it too dude?” The stallion asked. “Absolutely.” Soarin said and paid for the stuff. After that Rainbow Dash and Soarin were back out of the store. “What was he calling me?” “I dunno?” “Dude… that’s a weird thing to call another pony.” Soarin said as they walked out of the mall and were about to fly away. “We need to pay a visit to the orphanage.” “Oh okay take the lead then.” Rainbow Dash said as they started to fly towards the everfree forest. As they got near the outskirts of the everfree sorest they saw all the snow that had piled on top of the forest’s trees. It looked like thousands of small hills. Soarin had always loved winter. The cool air and the peaceful scenery… It was perfect. Two of them landed near the orphanage and saw several young colts and fillies playing in the snow. As they walked closer one of them yelled out. “SCOOTALOO’S DAD IS HERE!” All of the little ones looked at him and started running up to him. It seemed that all of them now knew that he was a wonderbolt. “Rainbow Dash was taken back by the reaction of the little ones but she laughed a bit as the little ones ran up to them. “Mister Soarin why are you here?” One of them asked. “I’m here to speak to Rumble…” As he said that many of the little ones looked at each other and smiled. He didn’t know what exactly was going on but he decided to ignore it. “If you could get him for me…” Soarin asked but then a snow ball hit him to the face. “No need I’m here.” Rumble said from a tree branch where he was sitting with some snow balls. Soarin quickly cleaned up the snow as the little ones and Rainbow Dash were laughing at Soarin who still had some snow on him. “Rumble I have a something to ask of you.” Soarin said and Rumble glided next to him. “What is it?” “I was wondering if you would like to spent the hearts warming eve with me, Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash?” Soarin said that and a huge smile came up to Rumble’s face. “Hearts warming eve with Scootaloo and with two wonderbolts! Of course I will be there!” HE said in excitement. This was every colt’s dream. “Great I’ll pick you up in a few days… Also don’t tell Scootaloo. It would ruin the surprise.” Soarin said and smiled. “Okay…” Rumble said and smiled. “Also could you give this to Scoots.” Rumble handed Soarin a letter. “Of course. Well I will see you later Rumble.” Soarin said and saw that Rainbow Dash was walking up to him. “Okay bye.” Rumble said as the two wonderbolts flew up to the blue sky.
