“RAINBOW DASH!”
Rainbow awoke with a start. She was breathing quite heavily, her cerulean coat soaked with perspiration. She was having the most fantastic dream about Soarin. They had been flying together, and then afterward watched a sunset, and then-
“RAINBOW DASH, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!”
To Rainbow’s utter shock the dream was quickly fading from her conscious mind. The cause of this deprivation of dream material was quite obvious. The pegasus mare quickly pushed two clouds into her ear canals, thereby relishing in the complete and utter silence that engulfed her. She could just barely grasp onto the dream. Her eyes were heavy. She slipped back into her dream.
*~~*~~*
Soarin was right in front of her, his majestic emerald green eyes lustfully gazing back into hers. His lips, just minutes before releasing words of promises, now were closed to enact them. To her surprise, he began to lean close to her, and she felt butterflies within her stomach. All thoughts pertaining to the bewilderment concerning her luck now gone, her instincts took over and she began to lean forward and her eyes closing as she released herself to the progression of events. Their lips met, and sparks began to fly as passion erupted. It was then she began to taste something quite familiar. Her eyes swiftly opened.
Her snout was pressed against Twilight Sparkles. Their eyes were locked. Surprised filled both faces. Then Twilight screamed something despite the snouts interlocking.
“RAFMPBOW ASH AKE UP!”
*~~*~~*
Rainbow Dash yelled, “I’m awake!”, before instantly zipping out the cloudhouse. She quickly saw Princess Twilight Sparkle down on the field below. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks as she recalled the dream. She felt confused feelings, almost to the point of flying back into her cloudhouse, when Twilight stomped her forehooves on the ground.
“Rainbow Dash, where have you been?!”
“I uh-” Rainbow found it hard to concentrate as she descended, avoiding the Alicorns gaze with every possible technique known to ponykind - namely that of avoiding eye contact. “I’m, um, uh..”
“Are you okay Rainbow?” Twilight inquired, genuinely concerned for her friend. She reached out a hoof and to her surprise watched as Dash took a few steps back.
“Yeah, fine! Just, um, don’t touch me! WhatisitIhavetogocomeonhurryup!”
Twilight blinked, confusion still apparent. “Fluttershy is missing,” she said nonchalantly, completely bewildered by her friends refusal of social interaction.
“FLUTTERSHY?! OH CELESTIA I FORGOT!”
Quick as lightning, Rainbow was off. Then, a few seconds later, she was back. Twilights expression was not of amusement. She rolled her eyes, pointing in the direction of the Everfree. “That way,” Twilight said in monotone. She then chanced a gaze upward towards her hovering friend, noticing how stiff her wings appeared to be and how she struggled to maintain her height. “Wait, Rainbow, do you have a w-”
“CANTTALKOKAYBYENOW!”
Rainbow quickly extracted herself from the completely embarrassing situation, leaving a dumbfounded Twilight to gaze onward in complete bewilderment of what had transpired. Then, she began to think, piecing things together that a pony shouldn’t be able to. She placed a hoof to her chin. Her eyes then widened in realization. A tinge of pink appeared on her cheeks.
“Oh.”
