The city of Cloudsdale was beautiful in the morning, because that was when the water shone especially bright, creating a masterpiece of colorful rays that shone everywhere for all to see. The cloud buildings looked nice too, as the morning sunlight brought out the brilliant white glow that hung over them. The city seemed to be busy this morning as the Pegasi were flying everywhere, each having somewhere to go. However, there were two Pegasi who were simply sitting in the middle of the city, calmly having a conversation.
"Are you sure about this, Rainbow Dash?" Asked Cloudchaser.
"Pretty sure," Rainbow repeated for the fifth time, when would this conversation end?
"Because this seems kinda risky."
"It'll be fine Cloudchaser."
"You don't know that! What if it's a bad idea? What if it's a reaally bad idea? What if it's sooo bad that-"
"CLOUDCHASER!" Rainbow interrupted.
Cloudchaser's pale blue face turned crimson red. "Sorry."
"Please just help me out and I promise that everything will be fine," Rainbow assured her.
"Uhhh, if you say so, I'll go get it," said Cloudchaser as she rose into the air and flew deep into Cloudsdale.
Rainbow swished her tail around while she waited for Cloudchaser. This was a good idea, and it was the right thing to do. Rainbow knew this from the bottom of her heart, and she knew by now to trust her heart no matter what. The only thing was, how would she take the news? No, Rainbow was doing this for her, surely she would be fine with it... hopefully.
"I'm back," Cloudchaser said nervously as she flew back over to Rainbow Dash.
"Took you long enough, where is it?" Rainbow asked anxiously.
"Hold on, I got it right here," Cloudchaser took a box out of the saddlebags she had on and handed it over to Rainbow.
Rainbow took the box with a confused expression. "What's this?"
"I put it in a box to make sure it was safe."
"What? I'm not that reckless! Okay, maybe I am, but I know this is important."
"It's just a precaution Rainbow Dash, this is too important to risk!"
"I guess, well, thanks anyway Cloudchaser, I'll see you around." Said Rainbow as she flew into the air without another word.
"Bye!" Cloudchaser shouted "They make such a cute couple."
Soaring through the sky again was amazing. It felt like forever since Rainbow had last been zipping carefree through the air, but now she felt as though she could do anything. Time to practice some tricks.
Immediately after thinking it, Rainbow dive bombed towards the ground in a hurry to see if she could still perform her favorite trick. The clouds seemed to form around her as she tore through them, by now she could feel the sound barrier being pulled along with her. She finally burst through all the clouds, nothing but clear skies now as she soared straight to the ground. The shield of sound around her was being stretched as her speed increased. Her face was being pulled by the hands of wind. Almost there... BOOM!!
In one colorful explosion, Rainbow Dash was propelled back into the air. Looking behind her, she saw that she still left behind a rainbow trail as she flew straight into the air. This truly was the best feeling in the world, after dealing with all the stress and confusion over the past few days, performing a sonic rainboom felt like becoming a princess. At that moment of ultimate speed, Rainbow felt like she could ascend forever... on second thought, she should just fly horizontally now, she didn't want a repeat of the other day. Still, it felt like she was forgetting something, something important.
Oh no.
She had forgotten all about stopping by Sugarcube Corner! If she could stop in midair right now she would, but it's kinda hard to stop when you're breaking the sound barrier. She had to slow down as she descended towards Sugarcube Corner. If it was one thing Rainbow hated, it was slowing down, but it seemed to be working as she could feel the sound barrier begin to realign with her. She could see Ponyville, and more importantly, her favorite bakery.
The rainbow trail was beginning to fade, it looked like she was going to enter without busting through the door this time, however, she didn't factor in landing safely. Hayfeathers.
She crashed headfirst into the ground, but somehow maintained consciousness this time. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing though as the pain was pretty bad. Looking up from her crash site, she could see that she landed directly in front Sugarcube Corner. Now if she could just shake off the pain, she would be good to go. Trotting forward slowly, she could tell that the pain wasn't nearly as bad as the butterflies in her stomach from what she was about to do.
She opened the door gently, determined to enter politely for once. She had a feeling that at least the Cakes heard her landing, but when she opened the door, there was nopony in sight.
"Um, hello?" Rainbow asked out loud.
"Coming!" Responded a cheerful voice from upstairs.
Rainbow's heart dropped from happiness as she took in the familiar voice she so loved. Once again, she heard a large collection of noises before her favorite pink pony finally trotted downstairs with her eyes closed, humming a little tune with a smile on her face.
"Welcome to Sugarcu- Dashie!" Pinkie Pie shouted happily as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Hey Pinkie," Rainbow said quickly as she launched herself forward and kissed Pinkie who was slightly taken aback but returned it with passion.
Rainbow decided it was her turn to throw herself at Pinkie for a change, but it didn't hurt that she just really had an urge to kiss her. For the second time that day, Rainbow felt like she could stay there forever, but her need for air was interfering.
"Happy one week anniversary Pinkie!" Rainbow said happily as she came up for air.
"Oh! That's why I put cupcakes in the oven! Let me go see if they're done real quick," Said Pinkie as she trotted for the oven.
Rainbow could tell from the burnt scent that immediately filled the air as soon as Pinkie opened the oven that the cupcakes were definitely done, a little too done.
"They're a little burnt but they look better than the ones I baked this morning!" Pinkie shouted enthusiastically as she showed Rainbow two extremely burnt cupcakes in a pan.
Upon further inspection, Rainbow could see that one cupcake was blue, and the other was pink.
"I love them, thanks Pinkie," Rainbow assured her marefriend with a smile on her face.
"You do? But you can't even eat them."
"But you made them for me, us, so I love them."
Pinkie considered this for a second. "Okie dokie lokie!"
Rainbow's smile grew. "I actually have something for you too, but mine is... special."
"Oooo, I love special things!" Pinkie exclaimed excitedly.
Rainbow opened up her saddlebags and took out the box. At the sight of the box, Pinkie's eyes and smile grew to impossible sizes.
"YES, YES, YES, a thousand times yes!" Pinkie screamed as loud as she could as soon as she saw the box.
"Huh?" Rainbow questioned as she looked down, but soon realized her error. "What?! NO,nononono, I'm not proposing! I'M NOT PROPOSING PINKIE!"
Pinkie stopped hopping in midair. "Oh, you're not?"
"No, not yet at least." Rainbow whispered the last part to herself.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!" Rainbow denied immediately "Anyway, I wanted to give you something that would impact our future together, are you ready?"
"Yups!"
Rainbow opened the box and took out the small clear vial that resting safely under a lot of packing peanuts, she made a mental note to thank Cloudchaser later, the vial would never have survived the crash landing without the peanuts.
Pinkie eyed the vial from every angle, even the air until she finally asked. "What is it?"
"It's a potion that enables anypony to walk on clouds for as long they live, you drink it and then your system soaks it up and some other science stuff happens. If you drink this, we'll be able to go anywhere together, we could even live on Cloudsdale together!" Rainbow explained while giving Pinkie the vial.
Pinkie took one look at the vial and immediately drank all of it's contents. Rainbow's mouth fell open, she didn't expect Pinkie to drink it so suddenly. Pinkie handed the empty vial back to her and released a loud burp. "Thanks Dashie! It kinda tasted funny though and not the good funny either."
"Uh, that's cool Pinkie, but do you realize that you can walk on clouds now?"
"Oh yeah! I heard that part! Now we can buy a house in Cloudsdale and live there forever and ever and ever and ever and-"
"Whoa Pinkie!" Rainbow interrupted. "We're going to take things slow remember?"
"Oh we are? Because I was going to invite you to spend the night tonight," Pinkie said cheerfully.
Rainbow's wings flared open with a pomf. "Well, we don't have to go that slow you know."
"Ooo goodie! I'll get the popcorn!"
"I'll get the drinks," Rainbow replied with a warm smile.
In that moment, Rainbow didn't care what happened next. It didn't matter if she still had a headache, it didn't matter that there was still a crater in front of the bakery and it didn't matter if her relationship meant that she may never be a Wonderbolt. Tonight, she was going to have a sleepover with the mare of her dreams and that was all that truly mattered.
Fin.
