//------------------------------// // 3: The Marriage Proposal // Story: Love and Pies // by RDDash //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash thought that she stood in the kitchen for at least an hour or so minutes or so. She thought about what she is going to say to Soarin. Would it be better if she went and then spend time with him? Then when they arrive back home she could start off a little playfully and then... Um, Soarin, there is something I need to say to you, I am pregnant, and I think you might be the father. Thinking about saying that, froze her up somewhere between the fear of rejection and slight realization of how stupid it all sounded in her head. Or maybe she could just say it straight up right at the beginning. That would leave her right where the last scenario did, the same exact fear. "Is everything alright!" Rainbow Dash heard him saying those words when he arrived at the kitchen. "I... I was just started to think about something, and then I guess I lost track of time. I am sorry!" Rainbow Dash felt Soarin trying to embrace her under his wing, it simply felt nice. "It's quite alright actually, I don't really mind either way!" "You don't?" Rainbow Dash was surprised by his somewhat casual dismissal. "Nope, whatever it is on your mind right now, must be important to you. " Soarin did anyone ever told that you are the nicest thing that happened in my life." Actually yes! Many times over." Rainbow Dash tried to focus her thoughts, the next thing that's she is going to say to him might as well completely ruin their relationship. The keyword was might. "Soarin, I don't know how to actually say this to you. I... right now I feel like I am scared little filly, but I still need to say this because it's the right thing to do...." She started saying, but then stopped in mid-sentence. Soarin didn't say anything yet, but instead, he put his hoof on her shoulder, in an attempt to make her feel more comfortable. "Soarin, I am...I am pregnant!" She blurted it out and then shut her eyes closed. Any second now, he is going to dump me! After a long pause Soarin started speaking, "I had to say this, Rainbow you beat me to the finish line." "What do you mean?" "Here I thought about what I am going to say to you to propose a marriage proposal, but then you just...I guess you kind of like said your own thing first, it's a bit confusing for me." Rainbow Dash thought about it, and then she mentally relaxed, somehow her own fears felt somewhat silly. "A marriage proposal, huh? Hold that thought for a second, I think I've got an idea. Pinkie Pie just came and she gave me this little present. At first, I didn't know what I am going to do with it but now I think it's perfect for this situation," She opened a refrigerator door and the pie that's been hidden there became visible for anyone to see, "Tada! It's a Will You Marry Me Pie." Soarin had his jaw dropped after witnessing and hearing this, somehow he didn't actually think about doing exactly this. He took the pie from the refrigerator and then carefully placed it on the table. He then turned to face her and started speaking. "Rainbow, we've been dating for about a whole year now, and then I thought that you might want to advance to the next level of our relationship. So here it is, I will just ask you like it is. Will you marry me?" At this moment Rainbow Dash had been the happiest mare in her entire life. "I will," she simply dropped a short reply. After a short while, they both kissed each other, and then simply embraced each other. "I suppose this is the moment when you realize that you are about to start eating that pie," She whispered it in his ear. "Well I suppose if I had to, but only if you join me for a bite!" He whispered back to her. "Okay, I will." Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie had been sitting on the hill, she had giant binoculars in her hoofs, "I just love happy marriage proposals and I helped them!" Spitfire had been sitting in the bar drinking. At first, she started to come here at least every single month, just for the sake of it. Then her visits became more often she started going there every single week, and then when Soarin dumped her in order to start chasing Rainbow Dash's tail, she decided to go there for three days straight. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I was so bucking stupid! Why couldn't she just take a joke! Spitfire felt several confusing emotions. She completely understood what she did wrong that day. Did Rainbow Dash do this just to make a statement against her authority? She was pretty one hundred percent positive that if she didn't force her to do this, then Soarin would probably still be hers. "Why such a gloomy face Spitter, are you still glooming over the fact that your coltfriend decided to dump you? Oh, oops! I am really sorry to hear that, I guess by now he is not yours anymore! I guess the new filly outdid even you." Spitfire groaned, she clearly recognized the voice of this scumbag, "What do you want Wind Rider?" "Me? I am just striking a conversation with you! You started visiting this bar, then you became a constant visitor, and then I just thought that you wouldn't mind if the two seniors of this bar would have a little chat." "Well, you thought wrong! We don't have anything in common with each other!" "Oh do we, now? Well, I beg to differ. If you actually expect me to apologize for what I did, then I am not going too. You had to remove the competition before they outgun you in your own game, but now I guess its too late for both of us!" Windrider softly chuckled. Spitfire felt disgusted at him, she even felt disgusted at herself at the thought for what Wind Rider have been suggesting. "If you actually think, I would get myself to stand to your level, well I have a good old saying for you! Go buck yourself!" "Oh, I am not suggesting anything, I am just an old warhorse that forced to retire!" He made an emphasis on the horse like it was a secret joke between all of the Wonderbolts. "I do tend to remember that you loved sucking lollipops when you first came to the unit." His wide green was even wider. Spitfire was so angry at this point that she simply decided to leave. She dropped the bits for her payment, and then put down her unfinished glass, then she simply left. She would never come back to this bar, or to any other bar ever again. "Don't let the door hit you on your way out, but knowing you, you would probably enjoy it!" He said to her coldly. Spitfire flipped the hoof in his direction, then went outside of the bar.
