It's Not What It Looks Like!

Just A Thought

Rainbow Dash finished “cleaning” the house by throwing another few boxes into the closet and shutting the door.

“Finally, some more space…that closet’s a problem for another day.” Dash thought to herself, smirking.

She paused briefly, turning around to look at the space she’d opened up. It wasn’t much, but it didn’t matter; now she could put more stuff in its place. But something caught her attention and she couldn’t stray away from thinking about it.

She fixed her gaze on a navy blue bag, and upon further inspection, she turned it to reveal the Wonderbolts seal on its side.

Soarin’s bag! Omi-gosh omi-gosh omi-gosh omi-gosh! I needa see what’s inside! Wait….no…I can’t, he’s gonna see me and…but he’s not home…but…it wouldn’t be right. She thought, lost in her swirling mind.

She put the bag back where she found it, walking quickly out of the room to avoid thinking about it. But, of course, she couldn’t stop. She had to know what was in that bag, and since Soarin wasn’t home, she had some time to figure it out. She tried her best to fight the urge to rip the zipper open, but she lost the battle in the matter of minutes.

She ran back to the room, found the bag, and opened the zipper. She pulled out his flight goggles, Wonderbolts jacket, formals, and, best of all, his Wonderbolts flight suit. She stared at the display, wondering how awesome it must be in possession of such amazing pieces of gear.

“I know I said don’t open it, but I couldn’t help it…I need to know what it looks like…no no no….feels like to be a real Wonderbolt…Soarin will NOT find out about this…I’ll just put everything back and it’ll be fine…” she thought, the image of her in a uniform making her grin ear to ear.

Well, so much for not finding out. Soarin landed on the front porch and opened the door, closing it behind him. He didn’t see Dash around, so he made his way up the stairs quietly incase she was sleeping. He noticed the door to their room half open, and made his way to look through the gap.

Rainbow Dash eagerly grabbed the flight suit and stretched it out onto her bed. It seemed a bit tiny, but as soon as she stepped into it, she felt it expand. She was standing in Soarin’s flight suit; she felt like a true Wonderbolt. Dash grabbed the flight goggles and fastened them above her head. She grinned excitedly as she posed in the suit infront of the mirror in their room, taking in her appearance.

Meanwhile, Soarin smirked as he chuckled softly, watching Dash flex in his flight suit.

Dash was really enjoying the suit, showing herself off in the mirror and flying around the room.

“I can’t believe I’m actually doing this! I’m in a Wonderbolt uniform! A WONDERBOLT UNIFORM! I wonder how it feels to soar through the skies in one of these…” she thought, a large smile creeping onto her face.

As she made her decision, she quickly turned around and shot out towards the door.

CRASH

“Ugh…ehm……wh-oh…S..SOARIN..?!” She exclaimed, the collision causing her to sprawl out onto the floor.

Soarin sighed as the mare got up and ran up to him, a mixture of worry-embarrassment on her face.

“I…I’m so-so sorry! I didn’t mean to…Uh…I mean I wanted to but…I promise it wasn’t…” She stuttered.

“I’m okay, don’t worry. Are you okay? Are your wings okay?” He asked with a concerning tone.

“I’m fine…I…well…you se-“ She started, stopping when she spotted Soarin’s grin.

“Wh…what’s wrong?”

“Nothing! What’re you wearing?”

Dash paused, looked down at herself and slowly looked up at Soarin.

“Ehm…I know this looks weird…but I promise it was only for a few minutes! Please don’t be m-“

“You look adorable, Dashie.” He said, smirking.

Her jaw dropped, closing quickly, with a noticeable blush appearing on her face.

Soarin got up and walked straight, stopping right infront of her. He slowly reached over with his hoof and fixed her goggles atop her head.

“Y…you’re not mad at me…? I’m sorry for taking your suit…I was just-“

“…trying it on? I know, I know. I saw everything…”

“Everything…?”

“He SAW me trotting around in HIS UNIFORM?! NO. How did he even get inside without making a sound…?” She thought, face hoofing in embarrassed shock.

“How did you get inside…? I didn’t hear you!”

“We live on clouds, this house is made of clouds, silly.” He said, scrunching his face to hold in his laughter.

“…You saw me…”

“Dancing, flexing, flying, everything.”

“Ugh…”

“You looked awesome, though, like a true Wonderbolt.” Soarin finished, smiling at Dash.”

She lowered her hoof and couldn’t help herself, grabbing Soarin into a warm hug.

“Thank you Soarin…I’m sorry if I intruded on your stuff…”

“I do it all the time.” Soarin remarked.

“I-wait…you do WHAT? SOARIN!” She backed up, wincing at the comment.

“Kidding, of course!” He said, falling over on his haunches, laughing.

She giggled, a bit of her tension lost from the joke.

“So…how about that flying you wanted to do?” He asked, smiling up at Dash.

“YES!” She yelled, picking Soarin up off the floor and hugging him tightly.

They both walked to the door, opened it, and walked into the cool outside air.

The night sky was perfect for practice-flying. Soarin pushed down on her goggles, fixing them over her magenta eyes. Rainbow was quick to jump into the air, flying up and down in an excited frenzy. She flipped over, flying through loops left and right. Slowing briefly as she positioned herself, Dash shot upwards. Soarin watched as Rainbow flipped the other way, shooting back down towards him.

On her way down, she focused her vision on Soarin. As she made her final descent, she quickly opened her wings to slow herself down, then tackled him onto the cloud.

Soarin and Dash were both outstretched on the cloud, laughing and hugging each other. They both sighed, Rainbow tilting her goggles up so her eyes could see clearer. The two pegasi laid in a relaxed manner, gazing upon the stars.

Rainbow not only got to wear the uniform, but was also able to fly in it. On the other hand, Soarin made her happy, and that’s all that mattered to him.

The two spent their night outside watching the sky, only moving inside once Celestial rose the sun.
