Pinkie drove them to a local dance studio and parked behind the building. "I still don't understand why we have to sneak in through the back." Rarity said as they climbed out of the van with their school bags. "Because two of Dash's family witches are in there right now." Applejack reminded her. "Who knows what they might do to her if they find out that she's been dancing. They treat her badly enough." "Quiet, guys!" Rainbow hissed as she threw her bag through an open window. She then climbed through, with her friends following her lead. They then entered into a spare room with several mirrors in front of them. They could see the class on the other side of the room, but they can't see them. Luckily for them. The girls then got into a V formation: with Dash in front, AJ, Rarity and Pinkie flanking her right, while Twilight, Sunset, and Fluttershy were on her left. They all can dance, but the other six always gave Rainbow the spotlight, since this was her dream. They just support her to the end. They followed the daily warm-ups with sun salutations and tree poses the class was instructed to do. But, just as they finished, Spitfire and Fleetfoot entered into the classroom. Everyone started cheering. "All right, settle down!" Spitfire barked, and everyone immediately became silent. When Spitfire means business, she means it. "We came because of your teacher's permission. We're here to teach you how to really dance." "It's one thing to dance with your feet. It's another to dance with your heart." Fleetfoot added. One girl in the back raised her hand. "Where's Soarin'?" She asked excitedly while blushing bright red. All the other girls began squealing at the thought of the male Wonderbolt. Sonata was squealing along with them, while Aria had a lustful grin on her face. Spitfire and Fleetfoot rolled their eyes with annoyance. "He decided to pass on this, since we have another thing to attend to later." Spitfire explained. The fangirls gave cries of disappointment, including Aria and Sonata. In the spare room, Applejack snickered quietly. "I wouldn't count on any of 'em gettin' him. Earlier at school, I thought I saw him checking out our favorite dancing captain over here." She gestured to Dash, making her cheeks turn bright pink. "He wasn't." She denied. Rarity started giggling. "You can't hide the first signs of love, Rainbow Dash." She whispered giddily. "He looked like he was entranced by you." "No, he wasn't, guys." Rainbow hissed. "Besides, if it were true, which it isn't, people like me don't belong with people like him." "Now, let's begin." Spitfire said. Fleetfoot began playing some pop music on the radio, and everyone began following the two Wonderbolts, as did the Rainbooms in the spare room. Unbeknownst to everyone, Soarin' was hiding from all of those fans, especially from females who just can't control themselves around celebrities. He had enough of them at school already, and it was his first day back. So, he wanted at least 1 hour of just being alone. He was wandering around the dance studio with a black hoodie over his face and sunglasses when he heard music and sensed movement nearby. It was probably the dance class Spitfire and Fleetfoot were teaching. As much as he wanted to sneak past, his curiosity got the best of him, and he peered in. It wasn't the class, though he could see the students practicing with Spitfire and Fleetfoot through the mirrors as if they were windows. The room was dark, though he could see seven girls dancing in a V formation. What caught his attention was the one at the head of the formation, in the center. It was her: the girl he had bumped into earlier at school, and who had been haunting him ever since that moment. So much, he barely remembered what his first two classes were. He was mesmerized by the sway of her hips, not too much to be on purpose, her frame being graceful yet strong, fitting her tough attitude displayed before, and her multi-colored hair was flying with vigor, as if the colors wanted to become a real rainbow. He watched the movement of her hands and feet; everything was in sync. She was dancing like a superstar. No, like an angel with such a fiery spirit. As he listened to the music and observed her moves, lyrics began spinning in his head that would definitely fit the song. He better write all of them down before he would forget them. Something happens when you groove. Earth beneath ya starts to move. It's so rad, I'm looking at you. It's crazy how you work that frame. You and me, we can change the game. What's your secret? What's your name? To me, you're a star. When you move, you're off the charts. You've already won my heart. To me, you're a star. You don't have to play the part. You can be just who you are. 'Cause you're just that girl. Finally, the dancing session came to an end. Soarin' quickly hurried away from the doorway to wait for his teammates outside. But then, he realized something. His thoughts were already plagued of this mysterious girl who dances spectacularly, yet he doesn't even know who she is. The class ended with the class cheering themselves. Fleetfoot was clapping for them as well, while Spitfire had a small smile on her face. "Not bad!" She complimented. "For a couple of rookies." "Yeah!" Fleetfoot agreed. "Now, if you guys can dance like that in the competition, we're gonna have a lot of fun." Suddenly, a ringtone sounded through the air. "What did I say about cell phones in class?" The teacher reminded. "Rainbow!" Pinkie whispered as she pointed to Dash's school bag. Rainbow flinched, then slid over to her bag to quickly answer her phone. It was Adagio. "Where are you?!" She demanded. "The most important luncheon of the Dazzlings' career, and you forget?!" "I'm sorry." Dash apologized, whispering. "I'll be there, soon." "I won't ask why you're whispering, but I don't want excuses." Adagio snapped. "I want crab puffs on a silver tray, got it?" "Yes, Adagio." Rainbow mumbled before disconnecting the call. She and the other Rainbooms then quietly packed up and climbed out of the spare room. "Looks like I have some shopping to do." Dash grumbled. "We'll help you out." Sunset assured her, coming up beside her. Rainbow smiled, then everyone climbed back into their van.
