A couple of days later Soarin was allowed to leave hospital but he still wanted to stay by Rainbow Dash so he checked out and went straight back to Rainbow's room. He passed several nurses along the way but he didn't take any notice of them blushing and almost falling over. They just felt like fans to him, the only mare he really cared for was Rainbow Dash! She was such a unique mare and the only mare to pull off a SONIC RAINBOOM in over a century.
He rounded the corner and saw a little flower shop, he went over to it and asked "Could I get a buque specially made into a Rainbow please?"
"Sure sir any particular colours for the Rainbow?" the flower mare asked.
"Um... yeah, could I get the rainbow in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple please" He said trying to think of the colours of Rainbows mane. The flower mare was very quick i guess it helped that she was a unicorn, once she was done getting the flowers she asked again
"Any particular colour for the paper?"
This was a hard choice should he go with white or should he go with cyan. Once he made his mind up he said "Is it possible for the flowers to be wrapped in white and cyan?" The unicorn modded her head and got to work. Within minutes the buque was ready. Soarin got out his bit bag and gave the unicorn 6 bits, he thanked the flower unicorn and he was on his way.
He went up the elevator to the the second floor and came to room 42, Soarin knocked on the door and entered. There in the bed was none other than the Rainbow Maned mare herself. He walked over to the bed and said in the kindest tone he could do "Hi Dashie- SORRY i mean Rainbow Dash... I brought you some flowers!"
She was starting to wake up when she heard Soarin's voice, she blushed and threw her front hooves over the pale blue stallion, she burrowed her head deep into Soarin's mane and started to cry. Soarin was taken back by Rainbow because she never cried, NEVER! He hugged her back and started to stroke her mane. They stayed like this for a while until Soarin asked "Dashie- SORRY, Rainbow are you ok?" His voice was deep with concern
"Sorry.... Soarin why do you care for me? I herd what you said when I was unconscious, Why don't you go and be with someone who actually means something!" She replied still crying. Soarin was heart wrenched at those words 'why don't you go and be with someone who actually means something!'.
He said mustering up as much courage a he could "NO!, you do don't mean nothing! T..TO ME YOU M...MEAN... EVERYTHING!" She stopped crying into His mane and looked at Soarin.
He continued "Rainbow you are like the
light to my darkness
the happiness to my sorrow
the sun to my moon
the heaven to my hell
the optimism to my pessimism
I NEVER want to let you go! I-I LOVE YOU!" Rainbow never thought that Soarin would say that to her!
Rainbow said "Soarin I-" Before Rainbow could say anything else Soarin leaned down and their muzzles connected. Rainbow's eyes were as big as plates, she realised that soarin was kissing her. She closed her eyes and kissed back.
After about a minute or two Soarin pulled back, he realised what he did, his face and ears were bright red and he said "Sorry Rainbow I don't kn-" Rainbow stopped soarin.
She said "I LOVE you too!" then Rainbow kissed him back. This time Rainbow knew how she felt, she knew that she loved Soarin and that she would never let him go.

A couple of hours later, Soarin and Rainbow Dash were laying on the balcony that was connected to her room, Rainbow Dash was laying peacefully on Soarins shoulder and Soarin had a wing over her protectively. Soarin was looking at Canterlot and thought to himself 'Wow, Canterlot really does look beautiful in the evening! but not as beautiful as Dashie!' he looked down at the Rainbow maned mare, he didn't want to disturb her but he wanted her to see the sunset. He carefully nudged her and whispered "Dashie wake up, the sun is setting".
She woke up from her doze and smiled at Soarin and said "ok".
They both looked at the sun, Rainbow looked to the castle and she saw both Princesses lowering the sun and raising the moon. The Rainbow maned mare looked back at the sunset and it was a sight she would never forget. As the sun was setting behind the mountains she looked at Soarin and he looked back at her their muzzles were only inches away, then soarin leaned in and their muzzles connected.
They kissed for a bit before Soarin said "I never got the chance to say thank you for saving my life and my pie, also Thank You for coming into my life! This is got to be the best evening of my life so far!" He nuzzled her on the cheek.
"No, Thank you Soarin, you have been there for me and you helped me get through the first week of training, no thanks to a certain captain. Anyway you are one of the best things that has happened to my life and i don't want to loose you like i lost my sister and my mother." She remembered that she lost her sister and her mother to her dad who abused her for years until he was put in the dungeons for homicide. The Rainbow maned mare started crying again.
Soarin tried to comfort her but that did little effect. Soarin asked "What happened to you mother and sister?" Rainbow Dash looked at Soarin half in shock and half in confusion.
"Don't you know what happened to them?" She replied
Soarin shook his head and said "If I remember correctly the news paper reported that they died in an accident and nothing else."
"Its too painful to tell you right now, i'll tell you another time. Anyway you are one of the best things that has happened in my life and I Love You!" She said giving soarin a strong kiss.
Soarin pulled rainbow into a hug and whispered into her ear so no one could hear "I know Dashie I know" He pulled back and looked up at the stars "I think I can see your element Dashie" He said looking up. He looked down at the mare and noticed that she had fallen asleep, he nuzzled her cheek and carefully put her onto his back and walked inside.
He placed the sleeping mare down onto the cloud hospital bed and he placed the covers over her. He was debating whether to climb into bed with her, the thought 'Should i climb in with her or not? the bed is big enough for both of us... you know what i will'. He lifted the cover and slid under, he wrapped his wing around her protectively and the mare smiled. He nuzzled her lightly and their hooves connected. As Soarin was falling asleep he was thinking that he was next to the most beautiful sight in the entire world, he fell asleep moments later thinking of the Rainbow maned mare.
