Spifire lied on the cloud near her house, and seemed to be out cold. Her eyes were shut, and her lips felt cold. She lied there and didn't hear the two stallions above her. Luckily, she didn't hear a peep. She was out cold. Above, Thunderlane was shocked to stared at the magazine, the sign up sheet, and the blue "Wonderbolt."
"Who are you?" Thunderlane grunted.
"I'm Soarin', I'm from the Wonderbolts-"
"Stay away from her!" Thunderlane yelled interrupting the "Wonderbolt". Soarin' stood back in shock. No pony talked to him like that in so long. He didn't like this coming out of a pegasus that he had just met.
"Pardon me?" Soarin' asked trying to stay calm. He didn't need some pony coming from no where and taking snaps of this for a magazine. He was just becoming popular, and he didn't want to become one of those "shooting-stars".
"I know your looking at her like that! Stay away from her, I don't want her to be used like most of you stars!" Thunderlane stomped on the magazine. He was furious that this pony saw Spitfire, and tried to help her. Or maybe he was being over protective of her.
"Listen, I was just helping her, it's not like you haven't seen a pony get hurt and you went to help him or her." Soarin' remained calm looking around for cameras. He was in luck, not a single camera. He helped Spitfire up and Thunderlane lost his temper.
"Hands off!" He ordered, Thunderlane pushed Soarin's hooves away and picked up the sign-up sheet, ripping it apart.
"Keep calm!" Soarin' said narrowing his eyes. He noticed where Spitfire had fell, and lifted her from the cloud. Thunderlane almost snapped, but he didn't. Soarin' carried Spitfire to her roof and placed her down. Angered, Thunderlane picked up the magazine and the shreds of the sign-up sheet. He looked down in shame. He hoped Spitfire wouldn't be mad at him when she would wake up from her passed out slumber.
Soarin' fixed Spitfire's mane, and tried to look into her eyes, but they were closed shut. She did have a lively pulse though. Soarin' had one choice. He decided to grab her shoulders, and shake her. Still, she wouldn't awake. Soarin' looked towards Spitfire's entrance to her home. Maybe there was some medicine inside. He flew in and looked once more to make sure that Spitfire wouldn't fall off the roof. He quickly flew inside to search for some medicine or something to help her.
Thunderlane smirked. He flew above to Spitfire, and looked at her. He knew how to wake Spitfire up from anything, from personal experience, which was trying to wake Spitfire up from nap time when they were foals. He rubbed the back of her ear and she awoke. She started panting, and her eyes were wide with fear.
"I-I fell! I remember two ponies. You, and-"
"You were seeing things. I was only there." Thunderlane interrupted her with a lie. Spitfire rubbed her head. Had she been out cold, and seen weird things? She looked at Thunderlane. He wouldn't lie, he was her first foal mate. Spitfire sat up and hugged Thunderlane.
"Thank you, I can't believe you saved me like that," she grinned hugging Thunderlane tightly. Thunderlane smirked. As the two hugged each other in the blue sky, Thunderlane saw Soarin' come out of the house with a medicine kit. He smirked even more. Soarin', in shock, dropped the medicine kit and went to open his mouth. Spitfire was turned away from the scene, and only Thunderlane could see Soarin'. Thunderlane made a signal with his eyes and mouth to leave, and Soarin' became heartbroken. He had just met a mare in danger, and some sort of stallion had truly pointed to him to back off. Spitfire realized the hug was getting quite long, and she went to let go of Thunderlane.
Soarin' had already begun to fly away from the two pegasi, but Spitfire saw him. She noticed his navy mane from the magazine. Not even noticing that her magazine, and sign-up sheet was missing, she flew to him. She had to know who this stallion was in order to truly know if he was worth developing a crush on. Thunderlane's eyes narrowed. This isn't what he had planned for. He flew down to the magazine and opened it. Scanning for a picture he needed, he ripped out a picture of Soarin' and kept it in his mane. Thunderlane yelled to Spitfire.
"See ya in two days, for the BIG SHOW!" He hollered. He turned away grimly and flew home, plotting to stop Spitfire from getting to know anything about Soarin'. Meanwhile, Spitfire yelled for Soarin' to turn around. Finally, Soarin' turned.
"Oh, you caught up to me," he said a bit glumly.
"Sorry? I guess I didn't see you," she said a bit confused. Soarin' took the word "see" as if she was joking, he decided this was the time to introduce himself.
"Hi, I'm Soarin'," He raised out his arm to shake her hoof. Spitfire shook his hoof and said.
"I'm Spitfire, I live over there, you were quite close to my house," she said pointing to her home.
"I know you live there- I mean that's a lovely house you have," Soarin' tried his best to not sound like a stalker. He blushed nervously.
"Don't worry, I don't think your creepy in anyway. We're all weird you know?" She blushed. Soarin' nodded. Quickly, Spitfire grabbed his hoof and flew to her home. Soarin' thought to himself that she was quite a fast pegasus. One of the fastest he had ever encountered. As the two flew in, Spitfire landed in her living room.
"Lucky for you, my parents aren't home. Yeah.. I live with them, but one day, I dream of being famous in my own penthouse!" She grinned. Soarin' realized that Spitfire had been quite open about her personal life. Did she know that he was a Wonderbolt, and not some type of big fan poser, who dressed up in a costume? He then let go of her, and said.
"I don't know if you have picked up a magazine lately, but I'm a Wonderbolt, you see?" Soarin' put on his goggles and posed as if he was in a photo shoot. Spitfire nodded.
"I know your a Wonderbolt. That's why I invited you in!" Spitfire laughed. Spitfire wondered if Soarin' had a secret crush on her too, even though they had literally just met in person. Then Spitfire realized Soarin' had said the word magazine, where did she put it? Spitfire looked around, and Soarin' asked.
"Are you looking for something?" He asked beginning to look around too.
"I just had a magazine and a paper for, uh, something special," she said not wanting to tell Soarin' that she wanted to be a Wonderbolt. She didn't want to revealthat much. She turned to the clock and looked at the time, her parents would be home anytime soon.
"Soarin', it was nice to meet you, but my parents are coming home soon. I hope we can meet again," she said opening the front door.
"Anytime, the Wonderbolts are having a special show soon. You should come see. I'd be glad to see you," Soarin' said and waved. Spitfire closed the door, as Soarin' left. She felt hearts bloom in her eyes. Spitfire was being silly to herself. She couldn't seriously be liking two different guys in one day, but... she was. Spitfire stood up and picked up the remaining shreds from before. Her parents would be home soon. She cleaned the house and found her tickets inside the couch. She thought to herself about Thunderlane. She picked up the ticket and put it in her room. She was so thankful that Thunderlane had saved her. Too bad it was a lie.
The door opened and her parents were home. Spitfire jumped onto her bed and locked her door. She wasn't in the mood to greet her parents. She was conflicted about two stallions who could possibly be the keepers to her future, filled with love. Spitfire glared at the ticket once more, and put it under her bed. She turned to her side and yawned. Today had been a busy day. As Spitfire turned towards her window, the sunset glowed in the distance. Spitfire closed her eyes, and fell into a deep slumber, once again. She began to have a dream, but it wasn't going to be a good dream. More of a nightmare.
