"Not you're smoothest first time aproach to a mare Soarin, but still a slightly more interesting one. I hope that this relationship (if it even is one) will last a while." 

"So Dash, were shall I take you on this wonderfull morning?"

"Well, it's still pretty earlie, so not much of my favorite food stores are open... Hey!!!! I know one place that sell great muffins, and I think they even sell pie."

"You had me at pie."

"So, where exactly is this place?"

"Right in front of your snout" as she said this, Soarin looked up and noticed a familiar building with cake decor "Sugarcube Corner."

"Oh no, isn't this were that pink pony lives... umm, Pinkie Pie... I hope I dont have an accident again."

"Then what are we waiting for" *gulp* "let's go in."

As soarin pushes the door so Rainbow can enter first, he smells the aroma of a fresh baked apple pie, he's favorite. He then hurries in and tries to locate were that sweet smell is coming from.

"Shoot, it's still in the kitchen."

"What was that, Soarin?"

"Oh, nothing, hehe nothing at all"

"I should start thinking in my mind what i'm gonna say before I actually say it..."

"Hey soarin!!!" said Dash as she interrupted Soarin's thoughts "Let's sit over here by the window, but before that, order something for breakfast."

"Sure, what do you want?"

"Surprise me."

As she said this, that slight blush appeared across Soarin's face again. When he could controled his blush, he went over to the front desk and saw Mrs. Cake counting the dollars, wich he thought was quite difficult for a normal earth pony or pegasus since they had no magic to hold the bills with.

"Oh my," said Mrs. Cake as she noticed Soarin coming over to her "what is one of The Wonderbolts doing in my simple little bakery?"

"Oh nothing muchm you know, just" he looks at Rainbow Dash wich is at a table for two ponies, staring at the moring sun "hanging."

As he says this last word he stills remains looking to rainbow Das. Mrs. Cake notices this and lets a slight giggle escape from her mouth. "Oh, young love."

"Huh?" says Soarin as he returns his attention to Mrs. Cake "What was that?"

"Oh, I did'nt say anything dearie. So, what do you want?"

"Umm, let's see. I'll have that apple pie with a chocolate milkshake please."

"Here, on the house, fore you and you're... friend."

A slight blush ran through his face "He, umm, OK."

"Enjoy" said Mrs. Cake as she turned around, picked up the money and left the room, leaving Rainbow Dash and Soarin alone.

"Jei Tash, flook what I'f bout" said Soarin as he carried the apple pie in his mouth, gently putting it on the table.

"I thought you might buy that.. no worrys, I like it too"

"That's nice to know."

...
A couple of hours past by and they just sat there, looking into each others eyes. With the apple pie gone cold, and them ignoring everypony that past by them, not even Princess Cadance with her love powers could she create a more stronger bond than the one these two had.

"Isn't it beutiful?" said Rainbow Dash as she put her hoof at the window, staring endlesly at the horizon "The afternoon sun is one of the most beautifull ones of the whole day. Don't you think so?" As she said this, and looked straight into Soarin's eyes with a shine, he could tell that this would be a good one.

"Yeaaah- wait... what time is it?" said Soarin urgently

Dash then withdrew her hoof from the window and looked down at the table, "Oh, it's umm, around 1:30 p.m. Why?" she then asked confused

"Holly horse apples, I gotta go!!!!!!" said Soarin as he stood up from the table in a very quick way, knocking down the apple pie to the floor and making a mess, and then started to trot over to the door. When he opened it, he looked back to the blue pegasus that was cleaning up the mess he had made and turned around, he took the pegasus by the hoof, causing her to drop the pie again, creating an even bigger mess. "I'm sorry that I have to leave you without notice, it's just that," *sigh* "I have forgotten the practice that I had for this afternoon. I will make it up to you, how about tonight? I'll pick you up at your place around... 10?"

"I'm sorry. I have something to do tonight and I can't re-schedule." she then forced herself a grin, but you could tell by her puffy red eyes that she wanted to cry "How about tomorrow?"

"All right then" he kisses her cheek "I'm sorry though" and he left without another word.

Dash started to clean up again, when Pinkie Pie tripped over her, letting go of the fresh baked cupcackes she had, wich fell directly on Dash, creating an even bigger mess.

"I'm sososososososooooooooooooo sorry Rainbow"

"You know what?" she said as she stood up and licking her hoof just to taste some of the cupckes "I don't work here, so... YOU CLEAN THIS UP" and just like that she flew straight out off there, heading for her home to get cleaned up.
