"Rainbow Dash! Now where in the Goddess' name is she?" He looked in every single room of his abode, with its intricate columns reminiscent of Ancient Preek architecture. He looked in the kitchen; no dice. He tried the foyer; still nothing. He tried looking in Cloud Puff's room. Sure enough, the two year old foal was playing with some toys given to her by his wife's friend's little sister. "Hey Cloud Puff, you seen your mother around here?" he asked the dark filly. "No, daddy!" answered Cloud Puff and she resumed playing without a care in the world. Soarin' was at a loss at the whereabouts of the energetic cyan Pegasus. He had searched every inch of the fluffy home; well, almost every inch. "I haven't checked the bedroom," he said to himself, "worth a shot." He trotted down the hallway that led to the master bedroom door. He opened it slowly and was greeted with a sight that brought a large smile on his face. His wife, the mare who could fly three hundred miles between Maredrid and Trottingham without breaking a single bead of sweat, was lying sprawled on the cloud bed they both shared. She was snoring lightly, sleeping peacefully. Soarin' chuckled and shook his head softly. Rainbow Dash had a habit of napping wherever and whenever she could. He walked to her side and placed a kiss on her lips; softly, so as to not wake her up. Her mouth curled up in a satisfied smile, which made Soarin' feel even more content. He pulled the bed covers over her and placed another kiss on her forehead. "I love you," he whispered softly, before tip-hoofing out of the room and closing the door. He would have loved to join her, but somepony had to look after Cloud Puff. Speaking of Cloud Puff; as soon as he exited the bedroom, the foal trotted out of her room, her doll riding on her back. "Did you find mommy?" she asked. Soarin' smiled, "Yeah, I sure did."
