Spitfire flew towards Ponyville, as excitement fill her. Falcon can finally go with her to the HQ. Twilight had told her that the golden and white pegasus had an accident while caving and had a gash on her side.
Spitfire was wondering why she was caving in the first place. Falcon finally healed up with a scar.
She glide over the first houses as she made her way to the castle. She smiled as she spotted her friend sitting on a cloud, waiting patiently.
With a burst of speed, she landed on the cloud, knocking Falcon over on her back in the process.
Heated up with embarrassment she apologized. "I'm sorry!" She yelped as she hopped off her friend and helped her stand up. Falcon was equally red but she shook it off.
"It's okay, Spitfire." She said as she gave her an understanding smile. "I'm sure you mean no harm from it."
She gave her a comforting hug. Spitfire freeze up for a moment. How can her friend be so apologetic?
She finally gave in and hugged her back, burying her face in her shoulder. "You're a good pony, you know that right?" She asked. Falcon giggled. "I don't know about that."
Spitfire enjoyed that laugh, finding it adorable. She parted from the hug to gaze into her friend's gorgeous blue eyes. It's like staring in an ocean full of water. From that moment she knew she was falling for her friend.
She loved everything about her and wanted to be with her. But she doesn't know if Falcon feel that way about her.
"So, are you ready to go?" Asked Spitfire. Falcon smiled and nodded with enthusiasm. They both take off and flew towards the HQ.
Spitfire took a moment to secretly admire Falcon in flight. She watched in awe as her friend fly gracefully beside her. Falcon rolled onto her back in mid flight for a few moments and rolled back around. Spitfire smiled. "You seem to enjoy flying. " she commented.
She shivered with joy as Falcon smiled back at her. Such a pretty smile! "It's one of my favorite things." Falcon said. Spitfire leaned over and nuzzled her check. "Mine too. And you're so amazing at it." She praised.
Falcon giggled and return the nuzzle, making Spitfire all warm inside.
They arrived at the plateau and landed to were a group of Spitfire's teammates, all in there uniforms, waiting for them. A blue stallion smiled at them.
"Is this your friend?" He asked as he trotted up to greet them. He held out a hoof. "I'm Lieutenant Soarin." Falcon smiled and took it. "Nice to meet you."
A paler blue mare with a short white mane walked up beside him. "And I'm Fleetfoot." The others start to introduce themselves as well. Falcon smiled back at Spitfire.
"They seem like a great bunch." She said. Spitfire nodded and put her wing over her back.
"Alright team. We need to practice for the Summer Tour and what's the best way by showing our new friend?" She gave Falcon an affectionate gaze.
"And I'll watch from that cloud." Falcon said as she pointed to a large cloud way above them. "Also my scar is starting to hurt." She whispered to Spitfire. The fiery pegasus nodded with a slightly worried expression.
"Alright." She leaned forward and touched her ear with her nose.
Spitfire watched as she took off and landed on the cloud. Falcon laid down on her side and gazed back down to give her friend an encouraging smile.
The Wonderbolts lifted themselves off the ground in coordination with Spitfire in lead. They headed towards the sky and start to loop the loop with trails of smoke behind them.
They did a lot of tricks, amazing Falcon in the process. Spitfire felt a burst of pride as she heard her cheer.
Spitfire then made a mistake as she look towards her friend and crashed against a teammate. She lost her balance and started to plummet towards the ground. "Captain!" Shouted her teammate.
Then all of the sudden, something rushed towards her in high speed and catches her before she hit the ground. She look to see who caught her and discovered Falcon looking down at her with a comforting expression. "Don't worry, I got you."
"You saved me." Spitfire breathed as they flew towards the ground where Falcon let go of her. They both landed on the ground and faced each other.
Spitfire smiled and hugged her friend gratefully. Falcon hugged her back harder. "You should have been more careful you idiot." She scolded. "I don't know what I do if I lost you."
Spitfire felt Falcon's body shuttered and heard her crying. She really cares about me. she thought in shame. "I'm sorry for scaring you like that." She whispered.
She parted from her and gazed into her eyes. "I didn't know that I hurt you like that. Don't ever let me hurt you like that again." She pleaded as put her forehead against hers.
Then she said the infamous three words. "Because I love you." She whispered. Falcon went stiff with shock, eyes widened. Spitfire took the moment to lean forward , grab her friend and connect her lips with her's.
She was nervous that Falcon wouldn't return it. Then she felt her kiss back. She couldn't believe it. This beautiful mare and the love of her life was kissing her back.
Even though Falcon never kiss before and found her kiss sloppy. But that didn't make this moment less sweeter.
They parted from the kiss to stare into each other's eyes. Falcon touched Spitfire's face with a hoof and smiled at her with adoration. "I know you won't hurt me. And I love you too."
Spitfire lifted her hoof and placed it on her newfound lover's. "You don't know how much that means to me." She leaned foreword and kissed her again.
"Uh, I guess she's okay." Said a voice behind them. They both turn around and find her teamates smiling at them. "Come on. Let's leave them." Said Fleetfoot. She nudge them away and followed behind them.
"Why don't you guys go to the mess hall. We'll meet you there." Spitfire hollered after them. "Yes Captain!" Shouted Soarin. She suddenly heard Falcon coughing.
She turn her gaze back to her lover with concern. "You alright, Fal?" She asked. "Yes, I'm fine." Falcon breathed uncomfortably. "Must have swallowed a feather or something."
Spitfire got up and nudged Falcon. "Come on. Let's go to the mess hall to get you something to drink." She said. "That cough sounded bad."
Falcon nodded gratefully and and began walk with her to the mess hall. Falcon have kept pausing the way there to cough, with Spitfire rubbing her back.
They soon made to the mess hall, Spitfire's teammates were chowing down some salad and a pomegranate. Spitfire asked for two trays and a glass of water.
She made back to the table with Soarin and Fleetfoot while Falcon had another coughing fit. They sat down and Spitfire nudged the glass towards Falcon.
The mare licked her lips and gulped it down greedily. Spitfire smiled as she finished. "Feeling better?" She asked. Falcon nodded as she cleared her throat. "Yes. Thank you."
Soarin smiled at the mare. "That was some fast flying earlier." He commented. Fleetfoot nodded in agreement. "I never seen such flying, other than Rainbow Dash of course."
"Thanks. I did what I have to save my friend." Falcon said. She smiled at the mare beside her and leaned against her shoulder. Spitfire wrapped her wing around her and kissed her head. "Don't you mean marefriend now?" She corrected.
Falcon stared at her with a confused look. "Is that what I call you now?" Spitfire nodded as the others laughed in amusement. "Man, were did you found her?" Chuckled Soarin.
They both shared glances and take turns telling them. Soarin and Fleetfoot had a look of astonishment as they finished. "Did you actually lived with falcons?" Asked Soarin. "And is it true that you can see things far away?" Added Fleetfoot.
Falcon Heart nodded. Fleetfoot grinned. "That is so awesome! Spitfire you are so lucky to find such a mare." She leaned over and gave her a playful punch.
Spitfire smiled and punched her back. "Indeed I did." She nuzzled the golden and white pegasus beside her. "And I owe my life to her now."
She leaned in and kissed her. "Awe! That is so cute!" Explained Fleetfoot as she pressed her hooves against her face.
