	 Rainbow Dash had but one chance to be noticed among Equestria's flier elite. There was only a week left for her to train until the day of the First Annual Pegasi Competition, and one week left until she final got a chance to prove herself. If she won the competition, she would get an all expenses paid trip to Los Pegasus.





Poof! The speedy pegasus burst through the other side of a fluffy cloud. She slammed on her brakes and landed in front of the Ponyville library.

Acting as Rainbow's coach, Twilight shouted out, "That's a new record! Thirty clouds in one minute!"

After catching her breath, Rainbow said, "Seriously? Wow, I never thought I'd make it to thirty!"

"Well, you have been training six hours a day for the past two weeks."

Rainbow puffed out her chest. "I am the best flyer in all of Equestria, after all."

Twilight rolled her eyes at Rainbow's bragging. "You won't know that until you win the competition next week."

"Oh, really? What do you wanna bet I'll win first prize?" Rainbow said raising an eyebrow.

Twilight sighed. "Look, I'm not here to bet money, I'm here to be your coach." She added, "And if you keep wasting your breath bragging, you won't even win tenth place."

Rainbow blushed. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Twi."

The First Annual Pegasi Competition wasn't the only thing only Rainbow's mind, however. She had her eyes on a special somepony, and that pony also happened to be her coach.

Rainbow collected herself again. She waited for Twilight to signal her to fly off again. She zoomed through the clouds, with her attention only diverted by thoughts of her love interest. Oh, Twilight, I act like a tough guy, but I still don't have the courage to tell you how I feel. During that thought, Rainbow went off course and nearly crashed into the ground.

Twilight ran up to her and said, "Oh my goodness, what just happened? You had that cloud in the metaphorical 'bag' but you still managed to miss somehow. Are you okay?"

Rainbow avoided her eyes and said, "Yeah, uh, I'll be fine. Just go back and I'll start again."

All Rainbow wanted was to tell Twilight her feelings, but her pride made her wait at least until after the competition so she wouldn't worry about Twilight accepting her feelings.

"Ready, set, fly!" Twilight shouted. Rainbow was gone in a split second high up into the air to where there were the most clouds. She was eager to impress her friend once again with her skills. 

"Good job, Dash! This time you got 33! Amazing!" Twilight clapped her hooves. 

"Thanks, Twilight. Do you think I'm good enough to get first place in the competition?"

Twilight smiled. "Of course. You're the best flyer in Equestria after all."

Rainbow Dash felt her face getting warm again, and looked away. "I think it's about time I headed home, so see ya."

"Already? Well, I guess you have been working extra hard today. Get some rest, and I'll be here tomorrow." Twilight said her goodbyes and headed back to the library.

Rainbow whispered in her direction when she was far enough away, "I love you, and I'll miss you tonight." Her chest was aching not from exhaustion, but from being in love. Either way, it was enough to justify some extra sleep that night.





It was the day of the competition, and over a hundred pegasi were going to be participating in the event. There were hundreds more in the crowd ready to watch the competition. Rainbow was going to be participating in the sky clearing event and obstacle course today.

Twilight said to Rainbow, "Now remember, do this just like we practiced, and you'll be fine."

If you only knew Twilight, that I won't be fine until I confess my love for you.

A loud speaker came on. "Welcome, mares and gentlecolts, to the First Annual Pegasi Competition! The first event is sky clearing, so will the participants please walk up to the starting line."

"That's you, Rainbow. I'll be cheering for you!"

"Thanks."

When all the pegasi were lined up at the designated point, the race official called out, "On your marks. Ready, set, go!" The horn was blown, and Rainbow was the first pony off the ground.

Rainbow blasted through so many clouds at once that she could barely see. As far as she could tell, she was in the lead. After the two minutes of cloud busting was up, the pegasi floated back down to the ground to wait for results.

Twilight ran up to talk to Rainbow. "You did great out there!"

Rainbow blushed. "Aw, thanks." I've got to tell her, I can't take it anymore.

Twilight noticed the uneasy look on Rainbow's face. "Is something wrong?" Rainbow didn't respond. "If it's about the competition, don't worry. You did better than everypony else out there."

Rainbow took a deep breath, then said, "Twilight, can I talk to you in private?"

Twilight tilted her head, unsure what her friend could possibly have to say. "Well, okay." She followed Rainbow into a somewhat secluded area.

"So, what is it?"

Rainbow shuffled around nervously. "Uh, I, don't know how to say this but, I," Rainbow gathered all her courage, then said, "Twilight, I'm in love with you."

Twilight just stood there for a moment before responding. What is a pony to say in that situation? All she could say was, "I had no idea."

Rainbow sighed with relief. "I'm glad I got that off my chest. I guess I'll head back to–" She was interrupted by Twilight.

"Wait Rainbow Dash!" she exclaimed, holding her by the shoulder. "I have to tell you something, too."

Rainbow Dash looked at her her with an expression of astonishment and confusion. "What?"

"I l-love you, too," she managed to choke out. "So please don't leave."

Rainbow had nothing to say, but what the expression on her face said. Her flush cheeks and open mouth said it all. She walked closer to Twilight slowly and embraced her. "I won't leave, if you don't want me to."

Twilight pulled away a little bit, then planted a peck on Rainbow's lips. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Anything for you, Twilight," she stated simply.

"This is a weird question to ask, but can you, y'know, pleasure me?"

What?! Rainbow screamed in her mind, taken aback by the suggestion. "Aren't you moving a little too fast, here?"

Twilight's ears flattened. "I'm sorry, I just really need you right now." She was ashamed.

"Don't take it the wrong way, I really do want to do that with you, but, so soon? I don't know, Twi. I feel a little awkward about this." Then she added, "This competition is really important to me."

Twilight frowned at that last sentence. "More important that I am to you? If that's the way it is, then, then..." Twilight couldn't finish her sentence.

"If you're worried about me leaving to Los Pegasus, then I won't."

Twilight's eyebrows wrinkled. "What's the point of winning the competition then, huh? Tell me that."

Rainbow didn't have a good comeback for that. "C'mon Twi, try to see it from my point of view. This is a once in a lifetime chance."

"And this is your once in a lifetime chance to be in a relationship with me!"

"You'll be here when I get back, won't you?" Rainbow inquired.

Twilight slight changed the subject by saying, "It's me or Los Pegasus, take your pick."

Rainbow couldn't just chose on the spot. "I want both, Twi. I can't just pick one."

Twilight huffed. "Then Los Pegasus it is. Just remember that this is the day you broke a mare's heart." Twilight galloped off into the crowd.

"Wait!" yelled Rainbow, but it was too late. She was gone. The mare who could have been the one just ran off because of Rainbow's stupidity. Los Pegasus wasn't worth losing a dear friend.
