Months had passed, since the day Soarin and Rainbow Dash had confessed. Rainbow didn't know how, but she and Soarin had made their relationship remain secret. But, it was agitating when the fanfillies were all over Soarin. Once, one had the nerve to kiss Soarin on the mouth. It was an almost fatal mistake, if Rainbow hadn't been watched carefully by Spitfire.
"Crash, something wrong?" asked Fleetfoot. Rainbow snapped out of her trance. They were supposed to be practicing, but Rainbow had been zoning out. Soarin was bringing her out to dinner, and she was excited. He had booked the whole restaurant so nopony would see them.
"Oh, uh, yeah," said Rainbow. She did a flip in midair, before landing gracefully. Fleetfoot rolled her eyes.
"Alright, no need to show off," Fleetfoot grumbled.
"You're just jelly because I was so awesome," said Rainbow proudly.
"Pssh, you were alright," said Fleetfoot dismissively.
"I bet you couldn't land so gracefully," Surprise challenged. Fleetfoot narrowed her eyes playfully.
"It. Is. On."
Fleetfoot tried to attempt what Rainbow had done, but failed miserable. She landed on her face, and her eyes rolling in her sockets as she lifted her head.
"Oh, for Celestia's sake," she grumbled. Rainbow and Surprise burst out laughing.
"Nice job," said Rainbow, helping Fleetfoot up.
"So, that aside, is something going on between you and Soarin?" asked Fleetfoot, a devilish smile on her face. Payback. Rainbow gulped.
"Uh, we're just best friends," said Rainbow, waving her hoof dismissively. Fleetfoot edged her face closer to Rainbow, looking her in the eye.
"Are you sure?" Rainbow tried not to sweat. She nodded. "If you say so." She walked over to Surprise. "Come on, we have to report to Spitfire that we're done practicing for awhile." Surprise nodded, and they started to talk as they left.
"I bet you ten bits Rainbow and Soarin like each other," giggled Surprise.
"I bet you twenty they're dating," Fleetfoot shot back. In all truth, she was suspicious. Soarin and Dash had been pretty close ever since the incident at the Ponyville Wonderbolts Show.
"Ooh, that would be a real surprise," said Surprise, winking. Fleetfoot groaned. Oh no, not again. Fleetfoot thought.
"Stop with the puns!" cried out Fleetfoot.
"What, am I too punny for you?" asked Surprise, smiling. Fleetfoot groaned.
"Okay, so, I have a plan to find out what's happening between Soarin and Rainbow," said Fleetfoot. Surprise nodded, obviously interested.
"I'm listening," she said, smearing her hooves together.
"So, we're going to follow them around," said Fleetfoot. "We will take down notes, and we will attack Soarin when they are done. Bring a feather near that stallion's hooves, and he no longer is a stallion." Surprise nodded.
"Let's do this," said Surprise.
"You take down the notes, and I will do most of the questioning," said Fleetfoot. This had to work. After all, she done this to Spitfire when she and Soarin were dating...
Fleetfoot caught sight of Rainbow and Soarin were talking. She could barely make out what they were saying.
"Dinner... To ourselves...." Fleetfoot leaned her head forward in interest. Suddenly, Rainbow turned to look around, seeming to sense somepony watching her. Fleetfoot was quick enough to hide behind the door. Then, Rainbow and Soarin split apart.
Fleetfoot followed Rainbow. Rainbow let out an uncharacteristically girly giggle. Fleetfoot stifled her laughter. She followed Rainbow all the way home. Nothing happened there, until Rainbow brushed her mane to the side, making herself look very nice. Then, Soarin knocked on the door. Surprise came next to Fleetfoot.
"Here's a camera," Surprise whispered quietly, handing her the black camera. "Thought you might need it."
"Thanks," Fleetfoot whispered back. "Now, ready for the plan to begin." She pulled out the camera. Rainbow opened the door, and Soarin offered his hoof, which Rainbow took. Snap! One picture down. One SoarinDash moment.
"My lady," said Soarin to Rainbow. Fleetfoot stealthily came closer. He leaned forward to kiss Rainbow. Fleetfoot snapped another photo, but didn't go unnoticed.
"AH!" screamed Rainbow, spotting Fleetfoot. Fleetfoot recoiled.
"Mission failed, we'll get them next time," said Fleetfoot, starting to fly away.
"HAH! WE CAUGHT YOU LOVEBIRDS!" screamed Surprise as they flew away.
"Really?!" snapped Fleetfoot, but she couldn't contain her smile.
"We can show it to the rest of the team," said Surprise excitedly. "Then we can tease them! What should we call them?"
"SoarinDash," Fleetfoot replied immediately.
"Wow, nice name," Surprise smiled at Fleetfoot.
Rainbow couldn't believe it. They had been caught by Fleetfoot and Surprise. Soarin was laughing, still.
"I-I knew we should have told them," said Soarin, struggling to catch his breath. "Well, now we're screwed."
"How is this so funny, might I ask?" asked Rainbow, pouncing on Soarin. Soarin laughed, easily switching it around, Soarin on top. They blushed as they realized what position they were in. Soarin got off, still slightly flushed.
The next day, everypony at the Wonderbolt Headquarters wouldn't stop laughing and saying 'SoarinDash', but frankly, Rainbow didn't care. It sounded sweet to her.
"Crash, have a moment?" asked Spitfire, her expression stern. Rainbow gulped. She wondered about this, if Spitfire would be angry of her and Soarin keeping their relationship secret. To her astonishment, Spitfire burst out laughing. "I knew you guys were together."
"H-How?! W-What!" exclaimed Rainbow.
"I saw you two, months ago," said Spitfire. "After the Ponyville Show!" Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Well, why didn't you tell us?"
"I wanted to see what would happen, and I'm glad I waited!"
"...Jerk..." Spitfire laughed again.
"You can go," Spitfire put a hoof to her forehead, smiling. Rainbow walked away, and Soarin landed in front of her.
"My lady," said Soarin, dipping his head. He leaned forward, an inch between them. Rainbow closed the gap, and they kissed. The other Wonderbolts cheered.
