Hey guys. My name's Rainbow Dash. I know, pretty sweet name, huh. Anyway. I'm the band leaders of The Rainbooms. I used to be selfish and say that the band was mine, but then Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer helped me realize that it was a very shitty thing to do. After that, I decided to call it "our" band instead. Surprisingly, it took a lot of weight off my shoulders and chest. Something else you should know about me, I'm the captain of every single sport at Canterlot High School. My favorite one is most likely soccer though. According to Princess Twilight, I represent the Element of Loyalty. Ever since Camp Everfree, my super power is super speed and I absolutely love it!! My best friend's name's are Sci-Twi, Sunset Shimmer, the bitch yet overly generous Rarity, the overly excited Pinkie Pie, the super shy Fluttershy, and last but not least, honest apple Applejack. Okay, enough introduction. Time for the story.

I yawned after my last class of the day. I was so tired in all of my classes today due to me not getting enough sleep last night and almost fell asleep in a few of them. Somehow, I managed to stay awake which surprised me. Normally that never happens and I always fall asleep in any of my classes. So what's up with today? It was the end of the day and I had finished packing up my things from my locker. Since I had so much on my mind, I headed over to the gym to write some new songs and do some other awesome things. I walked over with my backpack on my back and guitar case in hand. And before you ask, my guitar is inside the case.
When I stepped into the gym, I saw that it was empty. I sighed and smiled.
"Good. Now I don't have to be bothered by anyone." I climbed up to the stage, set down my backpack and guitar, opened my bag, and grabbed my pen and notebook. "Quiet time to write new songs. Perfect." I scribbled in my notebook for a few minutes before finally enjoying the finished piece. "Now all I'm gonna need is someone to sing it with. Not the girls obviously. Now that I think about it, it has to be a male singer and... who do I choose?" I shook my head, but then I heard someone call my name.
"Dash?" I look towards the door to see a very familiar face.
"Hey, Flash. What's up?" I give him a smile. He returns it.
"Oh nothing much. Just came here to get some quiet time myself when I heard you talk to yourself. Mind if I join you?" I shook my head and he sat down next to me. "So." I looked over at him as he spoke. "What had you come over here?" I shook my head.
"Well, my day was a bit rough. Especially due to the lack of sleep last night." I sigh and shake my head. "I don't know what caused me to not get any sleep, but, I guess I probably had a lot on my mind. But writing, singing, or listening to music always makes me feel better." I heard him snort. I turned to face him.
"You know, that always makes me feel better too. I see you got a notebook full of writing in it. What is it exactly?" I smile 'Maybe he's the one I can sing it with.'
"It's full of songs I've been working on. A few minutes ago I finished writing this duet but I don't know who to sing it with." He nods his head and purses his lips.
"May I see it?" I nod my head and hand over the book with the page still open to the song I just wrote. He takes it. I see his eyes scan over the page and I bite my lower lip. He looked up at me and smiled. My cheeks turn pink and I look away. "I can tell that you need a male singer for this song?" I nod my head. What he says next surprises me. "I'd be glad to help." My eyes widen and I smiled, my cheeks still pink.
"Really? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to." He puts a hand on my shoulder.
"I don't have to, but I want to." He smiles, and mine grows, along with my blush.
"Heh. Thanks, Flash. It means a lot." He nods his head.
"When are you free to practice?" 'He already wants to know when we want to practice? Oh God. What the hell is going on with me?! Get a grip, Dash. Woman up, girl! Woman up!' I shake my head.
"Well... I don't have practice until next week, so... I'm free whenever really. After school though." He chuckled and I giggled in response. 'Hold on, Dash! You just giggled. You just giggled!!' I just pushed that away.
"So. Does tomorrow, same place, same time, work for you? Or we could talk it over at a cafè? Your choice." I think for a moment. 'C'mon, Dash. If you take the cafè, it's like he's asking you out on a date! Chose that one!' I snap out of it one I hear him talk again. "Or you don't have to. It's fine by me." I can his tone is sad and upset. I see him cast his eyes downward.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm sorry! I was thinking of an answer and that probably made you think that as a no, but," I takes a deep breath, "I think the cafè would be nice. To be honest." I feel my face heat up again. He breaths out a sigh of relief and I let out a small laugh.
"So would you like it as a date?" By now my heart is beating wildly in my ribcage.
"Umm... I... Uhhh... Well I... S-sure. I guess." I look away while twirling a bit of my hair around my finger. Oh God, my face was definitely red by now. His next action surprises me. I feel him place his lips upon my cheek and I freeze. He pulls away and I look at him. "I'll see you in front of the statue after school tomorrow, Dash." I watch him walk out of the gym with dazed eyes. My heart felt like it was about to burst with love. I blink. 'Wait. This can't be serious. Am I seriously falling in love with Sunset's ex boyfriend? Stop it, Dash. Don't call him that. It'll just make you think back to the Fall Formal Incident. Oh God. I really am in love with him. But how? I'm too awesome for this sappiness. What the fuck is wrong with me? Shut the hell up, Dash. Just admit it! You're in love with him. There. End of story. Now deal with it.' I squeeze my eyes shut, feeling tears rise. My throat becomes dry and I find my chest start to ache. I feel the first hiccup come into my throat and then the dam breaks. Tears pour out of my eyes and my lungs squeeze tight. I lean against the wall on my side and slide down to the floor, letting my tears fall. I hear footsteps behind me but I don't turn around to look at who it is. I feel two are wrap around me and a chin rest upon my shoulder. A cheek nuzzles against mine and I turn my head to see who it is. When I look, my heart melts.
