//------------------------------// // The Surprise Visitor // Story: The Race for the Missing Powers // by Rainbow Dash 55 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash felt her bed softly shake. "Huh?", she mumbled. Then, a pair of forelegs wrapped around her upper body. "AAAAAAHHH!", she screamed. She grabbed a foreleg, and with all of her strength, she hurled the pony across the room. She then heard a faint "Oh geez, that hurt". She flipped a light on. "Soarin?!" He rolled over and looked up at her. "Hey, Dash." She began to help him get up, but he pulled her on the ground next to him, and hugged her. "What are you doing here?", she demanded. "It's the middle of the night!" "Actually, it's 3:00 in the morning." "Soarin!" "Okay, okay. I wanted to see you." Rainbow Dash's cheeks colored, and she hoped he couldn't see it. "I also wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened yesterday," Soarin added. "It was totally my fault." She apprectiated his apolgy. "It's fine. I had fun." He grinned sweetly at her. "Me too. Do you think we can go again?" "Sure. When?" He smiled mischieviously at her. "How 'bout now?" "Soarin! It's 3:00 a.m.!" "And we still haven't seen the mountains at night. What do you say?" "I say you're crazy." Rainbow got up, and started walking over to her bed. "What, are you jealous?" She stopped and turned her head, but not all the way to him. "Excuse me?" He gave another gorgeous grin. "You obviously don't think you can fly as fast as me. That might be true, that might not. But I guess now we'll never know." She turned to face him again. "Is that a challenge?" He shrugged. She smiled. "I accept." Once again, a gorgeous grin. "I'll give you a head start. Ten seconds." "Five seconds." "Deal." They raced into the night.
