			Soarin flew high in the sky, eyes sharper than usual, looking for Rainbow as he flew.  He was flying by a mountain, when he heard a sound. He turned to see  that it was a bird. Or so he thought. 
"Wow. That is a big cyan bird. Weird how it has a rainbow  tip of it's-WAIT! Rainbow Dash!" He saw her trying to fly as far away from him as possible.
"Dang it!" Rainbow yelled. She turned around an flew back to Soarin.
"Why are you hiding?!" Soarin asked.	
"Why aren't I hiding? But the real reason I'm hiding is because I don't want to face my biggest fear..." Rainbow trailed off. Soarin looked at her, visibly unimpressed.
"But you are not the one who Colgate is going to examine! She is going to look at Derpy, not you! But if necessary, she can look at yours too. I told her to be ready to look at yours too." Soarin said. Dash was taken back by the firmness that was in her boyfriends tone. She decided to react, surprise and worry in her tone.
"You WHAT?! How could you do something like that?! Are you crazy?! I can't let her!" Dash retorted back. Soarin wasn't letting her not go that easy. He knew that she was hiding something, but what he didn't know what is was. He decided to question her until she told the truth.
"I did this to help you! I know that you are hiding something! I want you to tell me everything honestly. I won't think any different  of you and you know that! But please, tell me whats wrong." Soarin spoke back calmly. Rainbow tried to back away, but Soarin flew and caught her before she had the chance. Rainbow wouldn't admit defeat quite as easily as Derpy would. She tried to say something, but everything lead up to her discovering that Soarin was right. She should really go and face her fears, but would it be worth it if her coltfriend found out what she was hiding.? She contemplated it for a minute, then decided what he was saying was true. She finally hung her head down in defeat.
"Fine, I'll tell you why I'm hiding. I know you know I'm afraid. But the thing is, I have had this sore tooth and I worry on what it might be. I don't want anyone to know because they will tell me to just go to the dentist. I worry that my friends will find out that I am actually afraid of something. But Twilight would drag me there and afterwards, she would ask me why I didn't go. They would all receive the same answer. I haven't told you about this yet, because I was worried that you would take me. But now, I have to go and face my fears because of this. I wanted to take Derpy, and not have to get into the torture chair. Is this all getting through to your head?!"
"Dash, it's alright. Calm down. If you want, I can hold your hoof while you are in the chair. I am pretty sure that your friends will think no differently of you. I know I will not for sure. But you need to get it fixed. Getting that tooth fixed will help you be healthy. Even though it may seem bad, it's really good for you. I promise." Soarin said, not joking through any of it.Rainbow seemed to calm down the slightest. Rainbow seemed to believe every word that he said. She sighed and spoke.
"Do you promise to be right there next to me?"
"Yes. I will be there from the moment you walk in, to the moment when you leave. I won't let you be afraid alone anymore." Soarin promised. Rainbow nodded her head. She then embraced Soarin in a hug. He returned the favor. "We should probably get going," He said. They then took off to Colgate's office, where they saw Twilight and Derpy just approaching the clinic.
"Hey guys... sorry I ran off earlier..." Rainbow started.
"It's alright Rainbow Dash! You were only gone for about ten minutes or so." Derpy said, with a smile on her face. Rainbow sighed in relief just as her door opened. They all turned their heads to see that Doctor Colgate was standing there with her receptionist, which was none other then Fluttershy. They both had a welcoming smile which almost calmed Derpy and Rainbow. Colgate spoke.
"Hello you four. Welcome. Please, do come in." She welcomed. Fluttershy just smiled.Rainbow started to shake, and became tempted to leave.Rainbow almost turned to fly away, when Soarin put his hoof around her to prevent it.Rainbow only let out a sigh,as she was escorted to the back room along with the others. Colgates back room was a fairly large room that was a sky blue, while the patients chair was in the middle. To the left were some cabinets that were made out of a nice pine wood. underneath the cabinets was a sink. Along the other walls were several chairs. there was two rolling chairs on either side of the chair in the middle. Rainbow froze in fear as did Derpy. Colgate noticed this and calmly trotted over to them. "It's alright. I do my best not to cause any of my patients pain or discomfort. I want you to know that alright? Also, Do either one of you want to go first?" She asked calmly and professionally.Neither one of them moved a muscle. Instead, they tried to run for it, but they were both stopped by the two unicorns. They were floated back into the room where once they were in, Fluttershy stood behind the door to make sure they didn't leave. Soarin simply came up next to Rainbow and put his hoof around her and she tried to escape, but didn't have any luck.
"Why doesn't Rainbow Dash go first?" Soarin asked. Rainbow started to back up.She couldn't do this now. She wanted to be second, so she could see if Colgate was really gentle or not. But the question is, what will happen now?
