"Why did he call you Dashie!?" Blitz asked still angry at Soarin. Well both at him and at his sister...but mostly him.
"Oh relax, Blitz. He was just being cute," Rainbow replied. As soon as they came out, she froze.
"Did you just call Soarin Skies cute?"
"Yeah I don't know what came over me.."
"YOU CALLED SOARIN CUTE!?" he yelled at her. Rainbow ran over to cover his mouth.
"Shhhhhh, mom and dad might hear-"
"Does it look like I care right now?!"
"Look Blitz," Rainbow started ,"the words just came out of my mouth," she said, trying to calm down her brother.
"Okay, okay. I'm calm." He froze and looked back at Dash, confusion obviously in his eyes. " R-Rainbow...do you...do you like him?"
Her brother's question shocked her. There was no way she, Rainbow Danger Dash, had a crush on anyone. That could never happen! She was too cool for that!
"Are you high? You're not twenty one yet, ya can't drink yet", she said teasingly. "Look, I know mom and dad gave you that talk so don't act like you didn't know you weren't allowed too drink yet till' now.."
"Dash, I'm being serious. Do you like Soarin?" Blitz asked once more, making Dash nervous.
"No Blitz, I'm not into girly, sappy stuff like that," she said. A voice in her head started saying things. Scary things for her. It told her she did. She liked Soarin. No wait, she didn't, did she?
"Well anyways I'm going to hit the hay if you need me, make an appointment for tomorrow."
"-wait, Dash."
"I said make an appointment tomorrow," Rainbow said pushing him out the door way.
"-but Da-" Blitz attempted to say but was cut off by a door in the face. Rainbow sighed, she was relieved her brother was out of the room but she was also scared of what he said. Wait no ...she wasn't scared, she was, um, slightly concerned. Yeah...
Rainbow took out her phone and went to her gallery. She smiled as she scrolled over some pictures of Soarin, some pictures of her, and some of both. Together.
All of the memories rushed through her mind, making her feel...strange to say the least. All different emotions ran through her body. Mostly when seeing a picture of Soarin. It made her happy, she didn't know why. She felt like giggling, and she wasn't the one to giggle.
She didn't like him. Maybe. She was confused, scare- I mean concerned, and lost. She was lost in her thoughts.
"Thanks a lot, Soar," Rainbow said smiling sleeply as she curled up under the covers into a slumber, hugging her pillow while doing so.
"Hey, Dashie," Soarin said as Rainbow walked along his locker. Her eyes widened as blood rushed through her cheeks. She was blushing, why was she blushing...again?! She mentally face palmed.
"H-hey Soar," Rainbow said nervously. "My brother was pretty pissed after you called me that last night, ya know?"
"I assumed it, it was a huge risk but c'mon, I've known you long enough to give you a nickname, right?" Soarin answered. Rainbow smiled at him.
"Yeah, just not in front of my brother moments after you were pinned by me in a inappropriate position, you dufus," she replied, a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
"Oh right, that," he said with a goofy grin." Well, not entirely my fault seeing as you were the one to pin me."
"Oh right, my act of revenge after you tickled me to death on my bed," Rainbow teased.
"So what if I provoked it? You were the one to make the move."
"-because I always win," Rainbow said smirking "Wait. What do you mean make the move?"
"I..um. Oh look it's Fleetfoot! Big star of the show, congratu-flippin-lations!" Soarin said awkwardly. He looked Fleetfoot, who was giving him a 'nice save idiot' kind of look.
"Hey Rainbow," Fleetfoot said walking up to Rainbow. Rainbow high-fived her.
"Fleet! What's up?"
"The sky."
"Ok then," Rainbow said chuckling as Fleetfoot laughed at her own joke.
"Well this has been interesting. I'll go sit in a corner now," Soarin said, speed-walking away.
"Okay, well I know he's an idiotic dork, but hell that was weird," Fleetfoot commented. She knew Soarin liked Rainbow, but that was surprising. 'Sit in a corner' dafuq?
"Yeah, he's been acting strange lately," Rainbow agreed. "You think he's hiding something?"
"Oh, he's definitely hiding something." Fleetfoot answered.
"Care to find out?" Rainbow asked with a mischievous grin. Fleetfoot rolled her eyes.
"I'm 99% sure I already know what it is," Fleetfoot started, as Rainbow opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Fleet continuing, "but there's no way i'm ever telling you."
"Whaaaat?!" Rainbow whined.
"No. But I'll help you figure it out," Fleetfoot turned to an upset Rainbow Dash. "Deal?"
Rainbow eyed Fleetfoot. Why was she covering for him? Was it really something so secret that not even she, who had been Soarin's friend waaaaay longer than Fleetfoot, could know about it. Whatever, she was going to find out, that was the important thing. She needed all the help she could get and since Fleetfoot already knew, this would be a piece of cake.
"Deal!"
