//------------------------------// // An Unexpected Visit // Story: Dashie's Dates // by Miinow //------------------------------// Soarin was sitting around in his home, being lazy as usual. His phone rang, and he sighed and flew over to retrieve it. The cloud he had been sitting on bounced up as he got off it. "Hello?" Soarin yawned into the phone. His ears perked up as the pony on the other end babbled away. "I'll be there immediately" Soarin jumped up to grab his saddle bag. Derpy Hooves had gotten her whole muffin package stuck in a tree, and if someone didn't get to her and help quickly, things could get ugly. Soarin shuddered as he thought of the last time Derpy didn't get her muffins. He stepped onto his porch and stretched his wings, smiling at the sound they made when they swished through the air. Crouching, he jumped off his floating cloudhome and zoomed off as fast as his wings would allow to find Derpy. *** Rainbow Dash was sitting outside on her fluffy porch enjoying the sunlight. "Ah.." ,she sighed "This is the LIFE!" She hummed a happy tune as she listened to the birds chirping around her, and realized that there was another sound too... Looking up quickly, she was alarmed to see a blue blur speeding towards her. "WATCH OUT!" she screamed, covering her eyes with her hooves on instinct. Soarin slammed full speed into her floating house with a and fell with a thud. Dash peeked between her arms. "Hey, are you ok? The speed you were going at was amazing I can believe you didn't create a sonic rainboom!" She looked over the edge of her porch's cloudy railing at the figure below her. Her eyes widened as she recognized the pony under her hooves. She swooped down quickly to accompany him. Poking Soarin with a tentative hoof, his head tilted a bit to the side. He was unconscious. Rainbow Dash panicked, realizing a world famous wonderbolt had just crashed into her house. Not really knowing what to do, she picked him up gently and slowly flew to her bedroom window. Placing him on her multicolored bed, she tip-toed to the door and slipped through, running out her door and flying quickly out of her house towards the Ponyville library. *** Twilight was reading her books as usual. Pinkie Pie had stopped by earlier that morning asking her to find a recipe for Apple Fritters. The library being so quiet, she jumped at the sound of someone pounding on her door. "Twi, it's me let me in!" shouted a muffled voice behind her. Recognizing Rainbow's voice, Twilight dropped her book to the floor and ran to get the door. "Rainbow Dash, what is it?" Twilight asked urgently. "Twilight, You gotta help me. Soarin the WONDERBOLT just crashed into my house! He's unconcious and in bad shape. Please, you have to come!" Dash said in a panicked voice, "Come on, I left him on my bed." "Dash," Twilight sighed, exasperated, "How exactly am i going to get up there? You KNOW that it's still hard for me to fly." "Please just try?" Dash replied, annoyed. Twilight glared at her. "Fine." Rainbow said, aggrivated. "Wait here, I'll be back in ten seconds flat." Dashie ran to the door, sprang into the air and dissappeared. Twilight sat at her desk, waiting. "Ten seconds flat huh?" she thought to herself. Her eyes turned to face the clock. "We'll see about that."
