Soarin and Rainbow we’re flying in the sky. The sun was setting in the east and the sky was now a beautiful purple and orange.
Rainbow looked at her fellow comrade “So where’s your house?”
Soarin pointed at a small cloud house, near the city of Cloudsdale. The home of many of Equestrias many pegasi.
As the duo reached the cloud home, they landed softly on the clouds and approached the door. Soarin quickly approached and opened up the door for his fellow Wonderbolt "You first madam" he bowed his head.
Rainbow Dash played along "Why thank you good sir". Rainbow entered the house and Soarin followed behind, making sure to shut the door behind him.
Rainbow saw the house, there wasn't really much in it. Just a couch, with a TV, and a kitchen, and quite a few Wonderbolts posters and photographs. Soarin walked up to Rainbow "Well, here it is Crash, the house. It's not much but it's a nice place to stay in"
Rainbow looked around her and flew towards pictures of Soarin and the rest of the Wonderbolts "Wow! You got a lot of nice memories here!"
Rainbow paused and saw one picture with The Wonderbolts, and Wind Rider. Spitfire was right next to Wind Rider in the photo Wow, this has got to be awkward after that party.
Soarin flew around the room "Yeah, I like to keep this clean, for guests"
The pegasus picked up a picture of him with his friends "Of course...no one really comes to see me" he sighed as he placed the picture down on a table.
Rainbow was awfully confused, no one comes to see Soarin? "Wait! Ponies don't come to visit you? You're a Wonderbolt! You gotta have some visitors once in a while"
Soarin flew to his couch with a Wonderbolts blanket on it "Yeah, sometimes I do get visited by Spitfire or Surprise. But other than that, no one else"
Rainbow made a confused face at her comrade "Wait! Surprise?"
She suddenly heard a tap on the window, the window was covered in curtains and suddenly the cyan pegasus pulled the curtains opened and was surprised at who she saw "What the heck?"
It was Surprise, one of the memebers of the Wonderbolts. She was a white pegasus, with purple eyes, and a yellow mane, oddly looking like a certain pink party pony. The pegasus was also holding a lemon meringue pie "Oh! Um, Crash? What are you doing here?"
Rainbow paused in disbelief and simply stared right at the white pegasus. Soarin softly pushed Rainbow aside and gave a nervous smile to Surprise "She's just here for the night, just until the fire dies down. Waiting until the Washouts go away"
Surprise made a frown at the mention of the name "Yeah, those guys are the absolute worst. To think a rogue recruit would come up with such a dangerous team!"
Soarin took the lemon meringue pie from the white pegasus "Lightning Dust was really reckless with her skills at the academy. Crash remembers that all too well. Almost killed her friends!" his serious mood went away when he smelled the pie "Is the pie from you?"
Surprise nodded and grinned "Baked it myself! Have a nice day!" she looked at Rainbow Dash "Be safe Crash!"
Rainbow then noticed something about Surprise that she should've noticed earlier "Um? Surprise? Why is your mane like Pinkies? And why does your cutie mark look similar but purple?...and how are you good at baking?"
Surprise gave a shocked look and slowly looked at her mane and at her cutie mark and slowly looked back at the rainbow-maned pegasus. Surprise kept blankly staring at Rainbow, she flapped her wings and flew right through the clouds.
Rainbow closed the window and looked at Soarin, she opened her mouth but Soarin spoke first "I'm weirded out by Surprise a lot as well, she's certainly the oddest of the Bolts"
Soarin offered the pie to her guest "Want a slice? It's lemon meringue!"
Rainbow chuckled nervously and blushed a bit "No thanks, I'm not really a fan of pies"
Soarin looked at his pie and set it on the table "Well, suit yourself then"
Rainbow flew back to the couch and layed on her back and rested it "So no one but those two visit you?"
Soarin was chewing on his pie when his house guest spoke, he wiped his face and silently spoke "Yeah, aside from those two, no one. Not my parents, my siblings, or anyone. I'm usually just here by myself"
Rainbow sat up, she was in total disbelief at what she heard, Soarin doesn't get visited by his own relatives!? "This is totally not cool. You're a Wonderbolt! Your parents should be proud of you!"
Soarin flew towards her and sat next to her again "Yeah, I know right?" the Wonderbolt sighed and bowed his head towards the ground "I really wish I had your parents, they sure do love you"
Rainbow nodded in agreement "It took me a while to realize it, but they really did love me"
Soarin still bowed his head towards the ground and Rainbow layed her head on her arm, the mood became awfully depressing. The sun of Princess Celestia was starting to finish setting, and Princess Luna's beautiful night would be in the sky. Rainbow noticed this and realized she had to do something to lighten up the mood. She looked around her, but then she saw her savior, there were a pile of video games near the TV with two controllers "Hey Soarin, ummmm....how about a game?"
Soarins head moved up he looked towards his collection "Sure! I got plenty of great games!"
Rainbow looked through the pile and saw one that stood out to her "OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TWISTER GLIDER 7!?"
Soarin flew towards Rainbow "Yeah!!!! I play online!!!! I'm currently at Level 25!!!"
Rainbow hopped up and down and jumped as if she were her friend Pinkie Pie "I love this game!!! It's one of the best franchises in gaming!!! My mom and dad got the third one for me on my 6th birthday!!"
And with no hesitation at all, they rushed for the gaming console, the HareSkull 5, and immediately turned on the game. The two pegasi sat down in the same couch again, this time with the two controllers in their hooves. They chose their pegasi and their speed, and started a multiplayer round.
Soarin gave a look of determination at his comrade "You ready? I practiced on any weekend I can!"
Rainbow laughed "I practiced while playing against Scootaloo and Button Mash and Flash Sentry! I'm also 6 levels higher than you! Bring it on!"
They both stared at the tv screen smirking as the announcer voice in the game started the game with its words Ready?...Set...GOOOOOO!
