The pegasus that broke the window attacked Rainbow Dash, and she struggled to break free from his grasp. She picked up a vase with her telekinesis, and was moving it toward the victim. But the dust started to clear, and Twilight could make out who it was.
"Rainbow! Don't!", she shouted.
Rainbow opened her eyes, and could also see who it was. She set the vase down. "Soarin?"
"Dash!", he said. "You're okay!" He pressed his mouth to hers, and she let him. But Soarin wanted more. He put his tongue in her mouth, never breaking the kiss. 
I was so worried, he telepathically told her.
Why? She tried to make him stop kissing her so she could look at him, but he wouldn't budge, except to take a breath or two of air.
I could sense you feeling worried, so I thought you were in trouble. I couldn't bear to see you hurt again.
She loved to hear him say that. It made her feel so protected, so sure. So she pushed harder into him, and he hugged her tighter. Before she knew it, they were making out.
But, unfortunately, they were interrupted by Luna clearing her throat. "Sorry to bother you, but I believe we have some work to do."
Rainbow broke the kiss, and blushed hard. "Oh, sorry! Guess I got caught up in the moment."
"I'm sorry too. Totally my fault. I thought Dash was in danger."
"She IS in danger." Twilight looked annoyed.
"What? Why?" Soarin instinctively stood up, in front of Rainbow, protecting her.
"There is trouble at the Crystal Empire," Luna informed him. "We need a plan to stop it."
Soarin gave his signature gorgeous grin to Rainbow, which made her blush even more. "Lucky for you, I'm excellent with plans."
