//------------------------------// // Finding out the truth // Story: Earth to Soarin // by Galaxy Swril //------------------------------// Earth to Soarin By GalaxySwirl Chapter 1: I'm just lucky I guess? Soarin P.O.V My mind Ugh! Right now I'm not understanding or comprehending anything on what Spitfire is saying to me right now. All I'm looking at and hearing is Spitfire and her loud brash annoying voice! I'm not saying it like I hate her I mean I love her, like a sister if y'know what I mean. ANYWAY not important. I'm just going to talk about where the hell I'm living in right now, Tartarus! This is a living Tartarus. I'm only saying that because every time she pulls me in the office it's something bad. I keep up with my job, I am fucking responsible. This happens very rarely and for some reason I have a feeling my annoying younger cousin Fleetfoot is behind all of this shit that is happening right now. Please can somepony, anypony I don't care if it's one of my crazy stalkers come stab me with a knife or cut me in half with a chainsaw because right now, I wanna die. Wait don't think like that, you might miss a great chance with the mare you are crazily in love with right now and will always be crazily in love with. I'll give you a hint incase you have no idea what I am talking about and thinking I need to see a doctor. Anyway she has an adorable high pitched voice, rosy eyes, talented in flying and practically everything she does, soft fur, loyal to the end of time, awesome personality, sexy looking body and beautiful rainbow hair. I think you are starting to get an idea now, well guess who? It's Rainbow Dash. I started liking her since the royal wedding when we danced together. She was kinda shy and nervous when I had asked her but then she felt really comfortable with me. I have to admit it was cute to see her soft side for the first time, I haven't seen that side of her in a while. When I went to my room that night I felt a bit of a connection with each other. I thought I was crazy at first but then at Rainbow Falls when she saved my life again I knew I liked her. But when Wind Rider came I was awful to her, I don't know why in the end she forgave me just like that after everything I said and did. I threatened her for Celestias sake that she couldn't come back to the Wonderbolt's. Fortunately she understood where I was coming from. I'm pretty sure I was crying in my sleep that night because I felt like garbage. ANYWAY, now I get to see her everyday which is incredible! I just don't know how I'm supposed to tell her I like her or even ask her out on a date. "In conclusion Soarin you need to be more responsible. This is a tough job and I know you are usually good at it but you need to be aware of the situation. Do you understand!" Spitfire finally stopped raising her brash captain voice at me and finished of her big lecture on something I wasn't paying attention too. Holy shit I have to say something. Y'know what do it later, you don't need too... Spitfire blinked twice when I didn't even bothered to respond. "Soarin, hello? This is me Spitfire here I'm talking to you. Earth to Soarin do you understand or comprehend what I am saying?" I am to lost in my thoughts I don't respond to Spitfire. "For Celestia's sake do you need to learn english again? Earth to Soarin, earth to Soarin." Spitfire keeps saying my name thousands of times but I still don't respond. I just sigh with a smile on my face. Hey is it just me or is it pretty hot in here. "You ok Spitfire?" Fleetfoot asked her. "Nah, I was telling Soarin about something important and he didn't pay ANY attention on what I was telling him." Spitfire replied. Fleetfoot walked into Spitfires office. "Soarin get outta la-la land, honestly I don't know why Celestia made you like this." Fleetfoot responded "Isn't that a little mean?" Spitfire questions Fleetfoot. "Nah, besides he teases me about most things and so do I. This is our usual cousinly shit or whatever it's called, 'love'?" Fleetfoot replies. Spitfire process the information, it took her a couple of minutes to understand what Fleetfoot and I had. I was still thinking about Rainbow Dash about how amazing she is. I can't get her out of my head these days but I like it like this. I probably mentioned this before but ever since she joined the Wonderbolt's we've been hanging out more and talking more then we used too. I'm being real here, I still feel pretty guilty about what happened when it was her first show as a reservie. I wanted to tell the others Rainbow wouldn't do anything like that but my best friend was gone and I was forced to pick a side and do what was best for the team but I've learnt now that I have to say whats right. But if I never had a crush on Rainbow Dash I still would've gone with her, either way it's a win win for her. "Soarin, Soarin, SOARIN! *HORN SOUND*" I finally come back to reality. NO!!!!!!! TAKE ME BACK PLEASE!!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING TO ESCAPE FROM THIS LIVING TARTARUS JUST PLEASE TAKE ME BACK!!! "Ah! Why would you do that Spitfire?! After everything I've done for you," I screamed at Spitfire. "Fleetfoot what the heck are you doing here anyway?" "None of your business Clip's thats my business, not yours." Fleetfoot shrugged. "Anyway Soarin we need to talk and I don't want you wondering of to your fantasy world got it?" Too late Spitty, I already took the plane which goes to fantasy world. I don't say anything for at least a minute. Spitfire get's annoyed so she uses her horn again. *Spitfire uses horn again*. "Follow me Soarin, and don't think about ditching this time." Spitfire ordered me to come. "Ahh, ok ok coming." I casually say. Spitfire gives me the evil eye. "...is that an request or an order?" Spitfire questions me. "I-I mean yes ma'am!" Spitfire takes me on a flight. I feel like this is going to be bad, well no turning back now. "Soarin, whats going on? I demand answers now." Spitfire orders. My heartbeat stop for a second. I feel like Spitfires going to find out why I've been so distracted lately. I do and I don't want her to find out at the same time. I know there's going to be no way to escape this situation because Spitfire is capable of getting information out of anyone especially me. I have to tell her the truth wether I like it or not. "Spitfire please please please don't tell anypony this, I've been pretty distracted about something-- I mean somepony," I correct myself. "Go on," Spitfire replied. The tone of Spitfires voice seemed rather kind and quiet. I was surprised at first but I knew this was pretty normal if she was ever talking to a friend in a situation like this. "Well you see I um, um, um, um" I struggled to say what I was trying to tell Spitfire. "You 'I um, um um um what?" Spitfire quoted of me. "IhaveacrushonRainbowDashandit'samassivecrushandsinceshesjoinedthewonderboltsit'sgrownbiggerandbiggerandI'mjustcrazyabouther, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HERE!" I shouted at Spitfire. I covered my muzzle and then flew underneath the nearest cloud. Spitfire looked at me then chuckled. "Really thats it? Why didn't you tell me, I could've helped you out. Your my best friend Soarin but at the same time I'm also your captain, you need to tell me these things wether you like it or not" Spitfire chuckled again then smiled. I think I had some tears in my eyes because I shouted at my best friend. I probably should've told Spitfire how I was feeling about Rainbow. "Hey come over here, look me in the eye and talk to me. I wanna know whats going on and I know theres more to what you just told me and also try to talk slower." Spitfire seemed very curious on what was going on. I'm going to be brave and tell her the truth, I'll cry about this later if I have the time. I came out of hiding and Spitfire and I were flying together again. "Well you see I've liked Rainbow Dash since the royal wedding. I think there was like a spark or something I don't know, anyway it was a little crush at first but then when she joined the Wonderbolt's we've been talking more, hanging out more and doing more things together. Now I probably can't even talk to her because I feel like I'm going to mess up or something or I don't know do 'a Soarin'." I took a deep breath. "Wait I've never seen you shy around Dash." Spitfire questioned me. She probably knows thats not true but it is true. "Yea but have you seen me after I talk to her?" I turn the question back on Spitfire. "...n-no," Spitfire answered. "Exactly. ANYWAY not important. She's in my head and I can't stop thinking about her. But the point is, I like her like 'like-like' and I can't get her outta my head because she's so different from the other mares I've dated and is so miraculous." I replied "Not that I don't want her outta my head." I added onto my sentence. "Look Soarin, you know I've had crushes on guys and remember that one when I was 11? And then lesbian at one point and had some girlfriends? They all had one thing in common and do you know what that is? They broke my heart. I don't think that Rainbow Dash is the type of mare that will break guys hearts but I'm just saying." Spitfire said. She was giving me a bit of an example on dating and I know what it's like. "I know your just saying your experience Spitfire I was there, also I know how you feel. Many mares have broken by heart and by the royal wedding I was thinking about becoming gay but I didn't." "I know," Spitfire cooed. "Y'know something, I'm really glad I talked to you. Thanks Spitfire!" I hugged my best friend. Spitfire hugged me back. We stayed like this for a while until we heard another voice. "Soarin. Spears. Skies. You. Like. Rainbow Dash?" I broke the hug that Spitfire and I had shared. For a second I thought it was Misty Fly but it was Fleetfoot. I nodded my head slowly. "Wait as in our Rainbow Dash? As in Crash, Rainbow Crash? As in Rainbow Dash element of harmony, The Rainbow Dash who has there very own throne?!" Fleetfoot questions me again. I just nodded my again but quicker then before. "O-M-C. SOARIN I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" Fleetfoot screamed out. I'm pretty sure anypony who was flying near us heard it too. I'm going to kill her, well later really. "Fleetfoot please don't tell anypony," I begged her. Fleetfoot smirked. "Only if you do my part of cleaning in the compound for the rest of the year and next year." "DEAL!" I exclaimed. Wait, what did I just agree too. This is going to be a long day. Mother of Luna help me!
