//------------------------------// // Part 9 - Start Your Day Off With Rainbows: 2/3 // Story: Love at First Charm // by Creative Charmer //------------------------------// After a short time of walking, Rainbow Dash and Creo arrived in Whitetail Wood. Rainbow stopped walking, and Creo stopped with her. "Wait here," she said to him, and then she flew straight up into the air. Rainbow looked all around in every direction, and then she flew back down to Creo. "Okay, I don't see anypony else close by." "Umm...pardon my asking, but why do you not want anypony around?" Creo asked, curious. "'Cause what I'm going to show you is a brand new flying routine I created, and I want it to be a special one-pony showing for you, since you were so awesomely cool to me back at the park," Rainbow said gladly. Creo looked speechless. "Wow...I don't believe it..." Rainbow looked at him in perplexity. "I mean, first you show me how to do a hoof-bump, then you're really nice to me, and now this?? You just get even more awesome the more I know you!" he said with glee. Rainbow blushed a bit. "Thanks, Creo," she said in a slightly flattered way. She then stopped blushing and stood upright. "So...are you ready to see this?" she said in a bold way. "Absolutely!" Creo replied excitedly. "Then you'd better stand back, 'cause this pegasus is about to blow you away!" Creo walked backwards 10 feet from Rainbow Dash. He then waited anxiously to see what her flying routine would be. Rainbow Dash, still having her bold expression, spread her legs and wings out. She then started to slowly flap her wings, but then she started flapping them faster and faster, until they were moving so fast that they looked like hummingbird wings. Then, Rainbow Dash bent down towards the ground, and zoomed straight up in the air in the blink of an eye. The force of her flying up so fast caused a large gust of wind to blow towards Creo. He lifted up his left front leg and closed his eyes to block the wind, although the force of the wind caused him to slide backwards a few inches. After the wind stopped, Creo out his hoof back down on the ground and looked up at where Rainbow Dash flew off. "When she said she was going to blow me away, she wasn't kidding!" he said with both surprise and awe. After Rainbow had flown straight up into the air, she started spinning her body around clockwise like a drill. She then made a turn towards a nearby group of clouds, and she drilled through each one, making the clouds dissipate into thin air. The clouds were scattered around, so Rainbow used her great agility to quickly weave around through each cloud. "Incredible!" Creo shouted with amazement as he watched from below. After she had finished drilling through the clouds, Rainbow stopped spinning, and then she very quickly turned backwards and upside down, and zipped upwards at a 35 degree angle, her rainbow trailing behind her the whole time. Daring then started to fly around in a corkscrew pattern as she kept going in a 35 degree angle upwards. While still doing the corkscrew, Rainbow Dash went into a large cloud formation. After taking a few moments to go through, Rainbow popped out the other side, still flying in a corkscrew, but now she was going downwards, and she had a stream of clouds following her in a corkscrew pattern as well. "Absolutely amazing!!" Creo shouted still very amazed. Rainbow flew downwards more and more, and then she stopped flying in a corkscrew and made a straight dive towards the ground. She kept going faster and faster, with the trail of clouds still following behind her. As she got closer to the ground, Creo felt a ping of fear; he was afraid that Rainbow Dash wasn't going to be able to stop in time, and that she was going to crash into the ground! Creo covered his eyes and turned his head away in fear. But then, just when Rainbow Dash was about to hit the ground, she made a 90 degree turn, now flying about a foot off the ground, and she was heading right towards Creo! When Creo did not hear the sound of a crash, he took his hoof off his eyes and moved his head forward again, only to be shocked at the sight of Rainbow Dash flying towards him at an incredible speed! Now he was more afraid then before, because he thought that she was now going to crash into him! Creo shuts his eyes and braced himself for impact. But then, Rainbow rammed all four of her hooves into the ground, and she started slowing down. Creo opened one of his eyes to look, and then he opened both of his eyes in surprise at seeing what Rainbow Dash was doing. Rainbow kept slowing down more and more until she came to a stop right in front of Creo. As Creo stood there, mouth gaping, the clouds that had been following Rainbow Dash blew right past him and Rainbow Dash, with the large gust of wind pushing Creo's body back a bit, although he stayed in place. After the wind stopped, Creo looked at Rainbow, mouth gaping and totally awestruck at Rainbow's entire routine. Rainbow Dash looked quite proud of herself and her incredible flying.
