Out of the Blue
Chapter 5
Rainbow Dash flew through some clouds, enjoying the cool and refreshing mist brush across her face and cover her mane. The water mingled with the leftover tears on her face. She was still confused and sad, but spending some time out in the open air alone was helping her clear her head and organize her thoughts.
She didn't know what to do. It didn't go right. She should have hung out with him, and he should have been instantly attracted to her sexy awesomeness, and then they'd kiss and start going out, because that's what an awesome pony as herself deserved.
But no, she wasn't even sure he liked her. But he'd romantically hugged her and said she looked nice and took her out on a date. The resteraunt wasn't too shabby, either; not everypony could've afforded that meal. He wouldn't waste time and money on that stuff for just a friend. But on the other hoof, he was a Wonderbolt. And besides, he hadn't asked her to be his fillyfriend yet, and so... And she could ask, but now she had lost her chance for that. She didn't even know where he was.
Bored, she sat on a cloud, curled up, and propelled it with her wings, using her tail to steer it around the sky. Not sure where she was going, she aimlessly floated around, and quickly became bored again. Rainbow wished she was home; she missed her friends and her awesome cloud home. She also missed Soarin, but there wasn't much she could do about that. She wasn't sure she could talk to him if he suddenly appeared, although she wished he would.
She brought her cloud to a halt, and curled up into a ball. Her eyelids drooped, and, tired from exerting herself in speeding around on the cloud, she fell asleep.
However, the prismatic maned pegasus was awoken by a floating pink ball of pure energy and adrenaline.
"DASHIE!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!!! I was looking everywhere and it was so hard to get around on these balloons and so I was going really really really really really really really slow because I couldn't find my balloon and then I realized that Twilight had it and then I asked her but she said Zecora borrowed it for something or other but when I went to ask Zecora if she had it she wasn't home and so I just blew up a bunch of balloons so I could get up to your house and then you weren't answering your door and then I peeked in your window but you weren't home and so I talked to Rarity and she said you were extra super duper sad because your date with that Wonderbolt guy was not extra super duper awesome and fun like you wanted, and then I floated around trying to find you, and then I found you trying to sleep but I didn't know you were actually sleeping and so I tried to surprise hug you but you were asleep and so it didn't quite work and once I figured that out I tried to just fall on top of you because you're such a heavy sleeper and that didn't work either so I just floated in front of you and said your name really really really really really really really loudly!!!"
Rainbow was pretty annoyed at the vibrant pink pony, but not the least bit surprised.
"Hi to you too, Pinks, but can I please breathe now?" She asked her friend, who was squeezing her very tightly.
"Sure!" Letting go, the pink party mare grinned at her friend. "So can we pleeeeeeease go back to Ponyville now?"
Rainbow yawned, and too tired to do anything else, agreed, letting Pinkie attach the balloons to her cloud and pull her away.

Rainbow Dash woke up in a bed that was not her own. The walls were colorful and bright, much like the floor and furniture. There was another bed across the room from her, occupied by a lightly snoring Pinkie Pie. Rainbow looked around again, and decided she was definitely in Sugarcube Corner. Before she could even wonder how she got there, Pinkie woke up.
"Hey there, Dashie!!!"
Rainbow rubbed her eyes blearily.
"Hey, Pinks."
For a pony that just woke up, this one had too much energy.
"So, Dashie, ready to go back home yet?"
Rainbow blinked once.
"Actually, I kind of wanted to talk to Rarity. I guess I owe her an apology."
Rainbow awaited any response from her energetic pink friend, but was met with silence.
"Pinks?"
She looked around. Pinkie had vanished without a trace.
"Typical."
The still-tired pegasus mare trotted downstairs and out the door, headed for Carousel Boutique. She knocked once on the door before poking her head through. Rarity was sitting down on her plush couch, pouring tea and rolling her eyes at Pinkie Pie, who was bouncing up and down.
"It was SOOOO crazy and then she woke up and I woke up and I talked to her and then she... Wait for it.. Said she OWED YOU AN APOLOGY!!!! Isn't that nuts?"
Rarity's jaw fell open slightly.
Rainbow snorted. "It's not THAT surprising, guys. I have a heart too. Just don't tell anypony I said that."
Rarity smirked slightly.
Pinkie did her ritual promise.
Rainbow rolled her eyes at her friends.
"Anywaaaays, sorry about Monday, Rares, I guess I was just emotional, even though that's pretty silly. I never even was dating him in the first place."
Rarity shook her head solemnly, tossing her purple curls over her shoulder.
"Darling, that may be true, but it doesn't have to be over with. It never started, but you still have a chance."
Rainbow nodded, getting what her friend was saying. "Yeah, I should go talk to him, but I don't know where he lives or anything."
Rarity took a ladylike sip of her tea and sighed. "That may pose a problem. However, he's famous. It won't take much looking to find him."
Rainbow nodded. "Thanks, I'll ask around a bit after I have a nap." With that, the blue pegasus was out the door and far away.
Rarity sighed. "He'll come around. She will too. They always do, the ones like that."
Pinkie, still bouncing and observing, nodded. "Uh-huh."
