It was close to midnight and everything was silent, all of the Wonderbolts and staff were asleep, the night was cool and perfect for flying conditions. The waterfall was a beautiful light blue, everything was right. The moon shone down on to Equestria, the night sky was lit up like a million fire fly's, the stars twinkled and you could see most of the constellations. The moon was a glistening waxing crescent in the centre of the night sky.
Rainbow Dash and Soarin were peacefully sleeping, Soarin's wings were wrapped around the Rainbow maned mare. Rainbow snuggled up close to Soarin's chest. Everything was peaceful until Rainbow's stomach gave a loud 'rrrrrrr'. The mare shot straight up, pushed Soarin's wings off and quickly looked around.
Rainbow threw back the cover's just far enough to get them off her but not enough to throw them off Soarin. She jumped off and walked over to the balcony and pushed the door open. Rainbow looked around and under the balcony. The only thing she saw was Surprise and Fleetfoot having a sleep over two balcony's to the left. The mare sighed and took off into the midnight blue sky, a few feathers falling off in the process.
Soarin stretched his wings back open to put around Rainbow Dash but when his wing reached over, he only found cloud. He sat straight up and fell of the bed. Soarin slowly got up and rubbed his head moaning. He remembered why he fell off the bed and quickly flew into the centre of the room. He shouted as loud as he dared, "Rainbow?! Where are you?"
He got no response so he looked around and saw the doors to the balcony were wide open. Soarin rushed over to the balcony and found some cyan feathers laying on the cloud. He knew from only a glance at the feathers that they were Rainbow's. Thankfully on the bottom of the feathers there was no blood. He rushed around the balcony looking for any sign of Rainbow, after a moment the was no sign of her. Soarin sat down and whispered, "Rainbow where are you?"
As if to answer Soarin's question Rainbow Dash happened to preform a sonic Rainboom at that exact moment. At night a Sonic Rainboom is completely different; instead of fire it was sparkles and much brighter. Soarin looked up in awe, he had seen a Sonic Rainboom before but never at night. Rainbow flew at break neck speeds around and around and around. Soarin saw Rainbow heading towards a dark cloud, she tried to turn but it was to late. She slammed into the cloud and started falling, Soarin shot of to Rainbow and caught her before she hit the ground.
Soarin carried Rainbow to a near by cloud and sat down. Rainbow shouted, "Ow! Who puts an anvil in a cloud!?"
Surprise jumped up and laughed, "Haha! Sorry Rainbow!" The next second she was fast asleep next to Fleetfoot.
Rainbow pawed at the cloud for a second then she fell onto her back, wings open. Soarin laid down next to her, "Are you ok Rainbow? I thought Surprise was banned from putting surprises in clouds." He tapped his chin with his hoof.
"Im fine, thanks for catching me." She stood up and started walking to the edge of the cloud.
Soarin got up and started walking over, he didn't notice a stray tuft of cloud sticking out. His hoof connected with the tuft of cloud and he fell over on top of Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash was laying on her back with her wings spread wide open, her Rainbow mane draped over her shoulders, the moon light illuminating her perfectly and her cheeks and ears were crimson red. Soarin was standing over her, his mane also draped over his shoulders, his wings hanging limply by his sides and his ears and cheeks deep crimson red.
Soarin was lost in her sparkling magenta eyes and Rainbow Dash was also lost in his glowing Emerald eyes. He eventually blinked and realised what happened. He said sheepishly, "Sorry for tripping Rainbow."
"Its ok Soarin, sorry for crashing into an anvil." Soarin brushed a stray strand of Rainbow mane out of her face with his left hoof.
"Its cool Rainbow. Why were you flying out here at this time?"
"I heard a noise and went to check outside. There was nothing there so I decided to go flying to clear my mind of some issues." Rainbow tried to hide behind her mane like Fluttershy, tears in the corners of her eyes as she was remembering her past and Spitfire.
Soarin was broken as he saw Rainbow Dash, the love of his life, hide behind her mane on the verge of crying. "Rainbow, I'm here for you now and I will always be here for you. Come here." Soarin leaned down and their muzzles connected. He wrapped his wings around her and lifted her closer to him.
They kissed for a minute until they had to break for air. Rainbow remembered why she was woken up and said, "Soarin this might not be the best time to say this but I'm really hungry." Soarin chuckled and helped rainbow Dash on to her hooves.
"Come on then, lets go and get some pie!" He stretched his wings and took to the sky waiting for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash flapped and stetted her wings individually to check for any damage. Luckily there was no damage and just a bruise on her head. She took to the skies as well. They headed down to the HQ.
-------------------------------------------------------In the Wonderbolts Kitchen----------------------------------------------
Soarin and Rainbow Dash flapped their wings as quietly as they could though into the kitchen. They opened the first fridge and found some vegetables. The next fridge had all sorts of energy drinks and some milk. The third fridge had some set meals for some of the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash saw one of the set meals had Spitfire's name on it. She thought for a second and finally looked over to Soarin who was in the firth fridge, "Hey Soarin, I found Spitfire's set meal do you think we could give her a little surprise?"
Soarin looked up from the pies and said, "Yeah why not?" He trotted over with a pie in his hoof. "How about we mix some pie into her porridge, she completely hates pies for some reason and we can replace her juice carton with an energy carton."
"Sounds perfect!" They cut a small piece of Apple pie up and mixed it in with the porridge. Next they carefully pealed off the milk carton label, the put it on the energy carton and placed it back on the tray. Rainbow Dash carefully lifted the tray back on to the shelf. They turned around and went back to looking in the fridges. Rainbow Dash said after a minute of looking, "How about we go and prank some of the other Wonderbolts and eat some pie?"
Soarin's eyes lit up as he smiled wickedly. He trotted over to Rainbow Dash and they planned who they were going to prank and what with. They collected; A sack of flour, a bottle of purple food colouring, three big cartons of custard and a permanent marker. They quickly ate the pie and headed out of the kitchen.
"First stop Surprise's room."
-----------------------------------------------------------Surprise's Room--------------------------------------------
Rainbow Dash and Soarin flew to Surprise's balcony and landed softly on the edge farthest away from the two sleeping mares. They carefully put their bags down trying not to make a noise. They pulled out the permanent markers. Soarin drew clown make up on fleetfoots face and Rainbow drew a Shadowbolt mask on Surprise's face. After they both finished they stepped back, nodded, put on their bags and flew to the Streak's room.
The Streak twins were notorious for their perfectly synchronised performances. Right now Lightning was staying with his brother because he thought it would be a good idea to give his fiancé some space after what happened today. Soarin and Rainbow slowly crept in and drew on their faces, set up a bag of flour over the door and with some of the purple food colouring they drew purple dots on Fire Streak.
They snuck out and hit the rest of the rooms with flour bombs, custard above the door and in slippers and everyone got a drawing on their faces. Rainbow suggested to Soarin, "Hey Soar, I was thinking if we don't want to get dugout then why don't we give each other a funny face with the marker so they won't suspect anything."
"Good idea Rain." Soarin pulled out his marker and drew a Freddy Kruger impression.on her. "Much better." Again he got a hoof to the gut.
Rainbow got out her marker and drew a Jaws bitten impression on his face, "Perfect!" She smiled happily and yawned.
Soarin picked her up in his wings and carried her back to their room, "Let's go to sleep Dashie you need it."
Rainbow said nothing and simply nodded. She curled up into his chest and closed her eyes.
Soarin smiled and walked over to their bed. He flapped his wings and tested around in the air so Soarin was flying on his back and Rainbow was curled up on his chest. He slowly lowered them to the bed and pulled the blankets over them.
Soarin kissed the Rainbow mare in his chest for second and whispered in her ear 'good night Dashie I'm here for you no matter what!' He closed his eyes ad drifted into sleep thinking of Rainbow.
