Fluttershy dodged the black storm clouds as she made her way to her cottage, her eyes full of worry. "I don't remember a storm being scheduled for today..." Fluttershy mumbled, but her words were lost in the storm.
Soarin', on the other hand, was horribly lost. He had flown through some rough storms in his day, but he had always known where he was going. He pushed ahead, and saw a pale pink tail fluttering in the winds ahead. He sighed with relief. Sudden;y, the taildived down. Soarin' did the same. When they pushed out of the cloud barrier, Soarin' saw the yellow pegasus land on the ground in front of a tree like cottage.
Quaint He thought When I settle down, I'd like to live somewhere like that.
He landed behind her, quiet as a mouse, and yet she still heard him. Fluttershy let out a scream and all the animals hid.. "Who, Who's there?" She said whirling around. "Oh... You shouldn't be here.. If Rainbow Dash comes back..."
"It's fine, I can deal with her." Soarin' said, softening his gaze. He looked at the animals, hidden in their dens and caves. "It's alright guys, you can come out.." He said, in a tone so soft, it might have even been a whisper. The animals cautiously looked at Soarin's hoof, which he had extended to them.
Fluttershy sucked in her breath.
The animals slowly crawled out from their hiding spots and walked up to Soarin'. The squirrels crawled onto his back and laid in-between his wings, and the birds landed on his head. Soon all the animals had gathered around Soarin', nuzzling him. Even Angel had joined them.
Fluttershy gasped. No one had ever successfully calmed ALL the animals. Except for her.
"Mister Soarin'...?
"Yes, Madame Fluttershy?"
"Would you care to join me inside for tea?"
~~~~~~~~
Rainbow walked through the streets of Ponyville, with a grin on her face.
I can't believe Spitfire gave me a seasons pass to ALL their shows! Man, now I can see Soain' every weekend! Rainbow thought. While walking down the path to Sugarcube Corner, She saw ponies talking with wide eyes, laughing at something in the paper. Curious, she trotted over to SIlver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, the class bullies.
"Heya girls! What's everypony so excited about?" Dash asked, expecting an insult from Diamond Tiara.
"Oh look, it's the blunderbolt!" DIamond Tiara snapped.
Dash shuddered. That girl was scary.
Silver Spoon looked at the ground, pawing it with her hoof. "The Wonderbolts are in town!"
"AND ONE OF THEM LIKES FLUTTERSHY!" Diamond Tiara finished.
Silver Spoon sighed. Not again, she thought. "Diamond Tiara, could you please STOP interrupting me?!"
You get em' girl Dash thought.
Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. "Oh shut it, Silver Spoon. You know that you wouldn't last a second without me."
Silver Spoon sighed. Diamond Tiara was right. Maybe I'll talk to Scootaloo about trying to befriend Silver Spoon....Dash thought.
"Uhhh... nice talking to you girls..?" Dash spat and took off into the sky before the two fillies could say anything else.
Dash flew straight to Fluttershy's cottage, not stopping for anypony. A Wonderbolt in love with Fluttershy? She snorted. I wonder which one! Probably Fleetfoot or someone... How nice for her! Maybe we can go on a double WOnder date when I'm with Soarin'!.
Rainbow landed outside Fluttershy's cottage with a bang. She walked up to the door, and knocked. No answer. Dash pushed the door opened and walked inside. Empty. How peculiar. Rainbow left and flew up to Cloudsdale, figuring she'd see the shy pegasus up there.
Meanwhile at Fluttershy's cottage, two pegasi were emerging from their hiding spots. They looked at each other and smiled. The blue and yellow duo had managed to hide from Rainbow this time.

"Sorry about that interruption.." Fluttershy mumbled.
"That's fine, I didn't really mind it."
"So Soarin', tell me, wherever did you learn to communicate with animals like that?"
"I don't really know, I've always had an ability to communicate with animals, I guess."
"That's so fascinating...But your cutie mark, it is a.. uh.. pie."
"With a lightning bolt through it!"
A tea-kettle whistled.
"I'll get it..." Fluttershy stood up and padded over to the kitchen.
Soarin' rubbed his tired eyes and rested his head on the table. It's getting late, I should probably head back to the hotel. Spitfire must be worried.
"Alrighty Mister Soarin', here's your tea..."
"Oh thank you, but I have to go... Spitfire's probably waiting for me and all." He said looking at the floor.
"Oh.. that's quite alright. I'll see you tomorrow then?"
Soarin' gave her a confused look, stopping in the door frame. "We hadn't planned anything for tomorrow..."
Fluttershy inched over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, blushing madly.
"I....*squeak* just.. d-did."
The door shut.
***************
Soarin' raced through the clouds, doing barrel rolls and other tricks, then flying high and dropping low right before he hit the ground.
He fought back tears, as his eyes stung from the wind. But he didn't care. Nothing could bring him down.
Best. Night. Ever.
He spotted Cloudsdale in the distance, and slowed his speed. His stomach grumbled, and he decided to hit up a bakery for some pie. He landed outside of La Hoofa Bakery. Mmmmm....Pie. He walked in and immediatly regretted it. Oh God, she's here....
"Soarin'? Oh my gosh, is that you? OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHMOHMYGO- I mean, hey.. sup?" A certain cyan-pegasus asked.
Soarin' sighed. "Hi Dash..."
"Uh.. ya wanna grab a bite to eat with me?"
"I don't see why not Dash..." The ice blue stallion coldly replied. He sat down, and was immedialty served a slice of hot apple pie and a glass of hot carrot juice.
Soarin' took a big swig of the juice, savoring the flavor.
"Hey you know what I didn't know until today? That Fleetfoot likes mares!"
Soarin' spit his mouthful of Carrot Juice out. "BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!" He looked up after recovering from his laughing, to see an unamused Dash, covered in Carrot Juice.
"Sorry about that..."
"No, It's fine. Everypony has bumps in their relationships right?"
"Yeah, me and Spit go through troubles all the time! But we work 'em out and we're friends again in no time." He said with a warm smile.
"Hehh.. friends? I always thought," Rainbow said inching closer," That we could be," She whispered running a hoof down his belly," More than friends..." She finished leaning in and pressing her lips on Soarin's.
"Mmmpth!" He mumbled, trying to push the mare on top of him away. He shoved her off and she landed back in her seat.
"Wowwww!" Dash sighed happily.
Soarin' stood up and glared at the satisfied rainbow maned pegasus who sat before her. "What the hell?! You can't just do that! I'm dating somepony else!" He spat.
"Who?" The cyan mare shot back, onviosuly angry.
"Fluttershy!" He snapped. "Oh shit."
He looked back to where the pegasus was sitting, but she was gone. The table had a pile of bits on it, and the chair still rattled from when she bolted away.
"Shit Shit Shit Shit!" Soarin' cursed.
His phone rang.
"Hello?" He spat into the receiver.
"SOARIN YOU BETTER GET YOUR BLUE BUTT DOWN TO THE HOTEL BEFORE I COUNT TO TEN OR I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BREED!" screamed a familiar voice. One belonging to the Wonderbolt's team captain, Spitfire.
Soarin' sighed and rose from his seat. He left the bakery and jumped off the side of the cloud, coasting down to the hotel resting on a cloud below.
Please be safe Fluttershy....Please be safe.
