Chapter 5: Saturday With Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash was bright and early at the treehouse. Since I was up bright and early, I saw here standing there. I think she was watching me sleep. I have seen her often, watching me, like a guardian angel. I dont know if she knows or not about me being abandoned or not, but I will tell her tonight. I was joyed to see her there.
But, why was she at the treehouse? That question was quickly answered, "Hey Scoots. Want to come flying with me today?"
"Sure, but, I am going to wait a bit till my friends wake up," I whispered.
Applebloom than woke up, quickly. She yawned, "Morning Scoots."
"Morning. Hey, I am going to be out flying with Rainbow Dash. So, when Sweetie Belle wakes up, can you tell her where I am?" I asked.
Tiredly, Applebloom responded, "Sure, go have fun. When do you think I will see you again."
"I don't know, maybe on Monday. I am feeling a bit sick. So, I don't know," I said unsure.
"Ok. Bye Scoots. Tell us all about it on Monday," Applebloom said cheerfully
"See ya later," I responded. I than took off with Rainbow Dash. The first thing we did was fly to a mountain. I felt happy being with her. I got to see Rainbow Dash flying quickly, while I kept up. A month ago, I would have not been able to see this. I could even keep up with her a bit.
"So, what do we have planned for today?" I asked Rainbow Dash when we landed on top of it.
"Well, I was thinking of practicing your flying technique. That will probably be for an hour. Than we could work on getting your speed up. I say it would take an hour. I have a few fun flying activities that could take a few hours. We could race too. And if you want, I could teach you some cool flying tricks like the Double Barrel Downward Mountain Dive, The Super Wind Rush, and The Sonic Cloudboom. By the way, The Sonic Cloudboom is like a Sonic Rainboom, but way easier to do. So, you ready to have some flying fun today?" Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yes,” I piped quickly. Than for the next few hours, Rainbow Dash and I flew. We practiced flying and took little breaks. My wings got a bit tired since I have never been flying up this high for a long time. After learning the Double Barrel Downward Mountain Dive and The Super Wind Rush, we got to The Sonic Cloudboom.
“Alright Scoots, this trick is going to be difficult. It is not easy to learn, but, not too hard when you perform it a few times. So, I want to show you what it looks like, feels like, for you need to be able to know how fast you need to go. Understand?” She asked me. “I want you to get close, hold on tightly.” I did what she told me. I grasped on, and she went high into the clouds. I could see everything so beautifully. The clouds had a orange brown look to them. The sky was orange, pink, lavender, along with many colors that I didn’t even know existed. I wish I could see this everyday, the beauty and everything captivates me, makes me feel like I belong in this sky. I feel a bit jealous of her because she can go this high. Rainbow Dash sees me viewing all of this, and stays for awhile, “Beautiful. Isn’t it?”
I nod. She stays still in mid air, not needing to flap her wings as much to keep her up.
She then goes to say, “When you are up this high, 10,000 feet in the air, you forget about the world. You can feel like you’re somewhere magical and you want to spend every second here and make this your home. At this height, you don’t need to flap your wings that much, the air seems to flow better. Everything isn’t noisy and you have nothing to worry about. You feel like at piece.” I was about to say something, but I was too astounded by the view. Everything was peaceful, everything was so silent I could hear only the wings of Rainbow Dash flapping and her heart beat. I wish I could live up this high, but, it would be too quiet I would go insane. I was going to miss that view. I wish I could stay up here longer.
Then, I felt a rush of wind as Rainbow Dash started to dive. She was going fast and I was unsure if I could go that fast. Everything felt tighter. I held on and soon felt a relief of pressure and felt me plummeting down to earth. It was a scary feeling, but I knew Rainbow Dash was right there with me. I looked back at Rainbow Dash’s tail. Colorful rainbow clouds emerged from her tail. It was like a Rainbow, except there wasn’t a rainbow pattern to the clouds coming out. They were all random colors. I looked up at Rainbow Dash’s mane and it was flowing beautifully. The sound from us speeding to earth was loud to my eardrums, but, everything seemed to be quiet. Everything was beautiful in this move. I could never imagine me doing this. I got lost in how beautiful this move was I started to let go.
Rainbow Dash held me close and I felt a calm stop. The trick was done, and we were heading back to her place as the sun was setting down. Wait a second, we were heading back to her place! My mind is racing with thoughts of what her house is like. I started to get a little tired though, Rainbow Dash noticed that and continued to hold me in her arms and close to her. I mean, why shouldn’t I be tired? I have been flying for more than a few hours. A filly normally doesn’t fly that much.
I watched the scenery as we passed through it, which didn’t take too long. Rainbow Dash is a really fast flyer, I mean, she could be the fastest in Equestria. Actually, she is the fastest flyer in Equestria. Soon enough, we were at her house. A house in the sky. I was set down easily on a cloud by Rainbow Dash and I was surprised how soft it was. No wonder she loves to sleep on these clouds everyday. I looked up and a house the size of a mansion, which was amazing because I have never seen a mansion before, so, I was shocked/ Rainbow Dash’s house was mainly made of clouds. The rest seemed to be very thick wall.
While I was mesmerized by her house, she walked up to the door and asked, “You coming.” I nodded, still amazed by the size. I looked down, saw the door, and walked in. Each step was so soft, but not as soft as the red velvet carpet inside. Rainbow Dash walked in, closed the door, and gave me a tour of her house. She showed me the kitchen, her 3 bedrooms, pool table room, hot tub room, and many other rooms that I had no idea existed. Seriously, there seemed to be a room for everything. There was 1 room that I saw that she didn’t show me, so I got curious.
I walked up the door and put my hoof on the door but was interrupted, “Don’t go in there.”
Confused, I asked, “Why not.”
She flew to the front of the door, “That door is for me and Soarin. We, kind of, do things you fillies shouldn’t know about. But could you please not go into that room, you will think of me differently if you do open it.” I apologized to her and we decided to watch the sun go down. We hopped onto a very comfy cloud. Rainbow Dash made the cloud like a reclining chair. She layed down, and I layed on her belly. I felt tired, but wanted to stay up until the sun went down. We just enjoyed our presence and watched it for a bit.
She went to ask me, “So, how was your day.”
Of course, I responded, “It was the best day I have had in awhile. I haven’t had this much fun since yesterday. I mean, yesterday was fun and all, but, I got to spend a day with The Rainbow Dash.”
She pulled me closer, “Well, I got to spend a day with my little sister. I would say this day probably was more amazing than me spending a day with The Wonderbolts.”
“Really,” I asked. That was the best compliment I have ever received.
“Yeah. Anyways, I need to talk to you about something. Listen, I have been watching you for some time. I know I should have came to you earlier. I will just put this out there now, Scootaloo, I know you have no home and you are abandoned,” Rainbow Dash spoke.
