The two figures zoomed to towards the Everfree forest, their wings beating against the wind like eagles flying through a soft breeze. Rainbowdash laughed as she quickly flew past Soarin. Soarin frowned competitively, arched his back, and with a one flap of his blue wings- he came soaring past her and flew towards the sky, diagonally, he ascended towards their destination as he inclined closer, and closer into the clouds... But Rainbowdash was an agile flyer and was just about to catch up with him until she stopped. Soarin flew towards the sun but began to recognize- that he could only hear himself against the wind currents. He turned around, Rainbowdash looked at him in a confused fashion, eyes arched. She paused and hovered where she was. Soarin looked at the blurry rainbow speck, eyes curious.
"Hey Soarin!" cried Rainbowdash, she sighed dramatically, and grumbled underneath her breath: piepudge ears... Raising eyebrows she lifted her hooves to her mouth "Hey show-off! think we can stop racing! We are almost near to Fluttershy's" Soarin looked at where the rainbow maned pony was pointed at. He looked forward and saw the small roof top of a house embedded with soft petaled flowers. His squinted his eyes from afar, and turning flew towards Rainbowdash wings allowing him to glide gracefully towards her.
He smiled mischievously "so, I'm the show off now, huh?" A cloud passed his left as he twirled in the air, Rainbowdash snickered.
"More like trying to show-off for an in-flight ballerina show!" Soarin nudged her with his right wing.
"Oh yeah? A ballerina now?" He beat his chest with a hoof, "woah, Rainbowslug- your shooting bullets!" Rainbowdash laughed out loud.
"Ha! Of course I am! Took you long enough to figure... Piepudge! I am always the fastest in anything!" She paused in mid flight and did a 'rarity model' pose. One hoof on her chin she looked up, "I am 20 percent cooler after all!" Soaring nodded his head sarcastically as they flew slowly to the growing image of the homely evergreen place Fluttershy resided in. But he wondered, Who was Fluttershy? He knew that Pinkie Pie was a the bright one, and Rarity was the fashionista but his memory was blurry. He felt rocks in his stomach for not knowing his friends of his Rainbow racer. He glanced at Rainbowdash.
"So, who is Fluttershy?" Rainbowdash looked at him incredulously.
Turning away she asked Soarin questioningly as she flew above a cloud, "I thought you knew who she was?" Soarin scratched his head sheepishly.
He replied in an uneasy voice, "well, I do know how your friends look like- I guarantee it 150 percent!" He then smiled shyly, "but I don't remember their names to well..." Rainbowdash again looked at him- this time glumly. They landed softly onto the earthly soil, dust fleeing from their landing. She finally shook her head after a couple of silent minutes.
"Ahh, Soarin, you've had too much pie," she waved him away as she turned her head right, "I'm sure you'll know who she is..." she paused as she looked up at the blue aquamarine sky in deep cogitation. Tapping her chin she continued, "she's that shy pony with the really long cotton candy pink hair. You can't miss her-" Rainbowdash blinked as she heard the entrance of her dear pet. She exclaimed happily, "Oh, hey tank!" Soarin thought about the pink cotton candy-haired pony as his zoned from his Rainbow friend who was trotting towards her pet, Tank. He walked the opposite direction of Rainbowdash still looking at the blank spot where she stood minutes ago.
Her? His eyes grew thoughtful as he cocked his head while he was slowly walking backwards. She was the really pretty one..he remembered a dream sequence of when he saw the little pastel cotton-candy haired pony clap for him at the Royal Canterlot Wedding after a show of racing skills. He blushed bashfully as he remembered her quiet 'yay.' Suddenly, he quickly shook his head. Oh no, no, no! You are single! Just like Rainbowdash!.. and Twilight! and- His eyes wandered up the brilliant shining Rainbow mane. Wha-w- what if she finds out I have a small... pie-likey-love for her friend... He traced his hands over his well fashioned dark navy blue hair in stress. She will think I might be intruding on her friend! or-or-o-o-or
Deep in his now troubled mind Soarin, his hoof felt cold mossy water.
Of all things... Oh Celestia- you had to purposely put a puddle on the day I meet the pony I kind of like. And before he knew it he was flung in the air. Beating his wings, he flipped upside down backwards and his heart froze and felt his body turn to ice. He remembered the soft skin and long flaky eyelashes of this mysterious pony with cotton-pink luscious hair, he paused turning pink as his cheeks were slumped against the pony's face, silky pink strands of hair enveloped half his face, tickling him softly like dandelions in the wind. He heard a small squeak and lowered his eyes to the fragile creature he fell on top of.
Soarin craned his neck slowly.
Glancing into the gentle yet scared dreamy cyan eyes while blushing, he thought quietly to himself as his mouth was agape from shock.
So her name... was Fluttershy..
