	Only one thing is on my mind right now, and I think that Soarin and Spitfire are thinking the exact same thing that I am.
Since my back right leg finally healed a few days ago, all three of us have been digging furiously. I can't believe that we've almost made it out of here alive!
I was asleep when we made it to the surface.
"Fireflash! Get up!" Soarin was yelling. "We made it!"
I rolled over, sat up, and groggily rubbed my eyes with my hooves, dark patches under them from being so tired.
"Mmmf.....zzzzz.....Soarin...whatsamatter..." I mumbled, still half asleep.
I slowly rose to my hooves, eyes barely open, and wobbled back and forth, still half asleep. I was vaguely aware of somepony tapping my shoulder repeatedly.
"Fireflash, get up." Spitfire siad, her voice soft with affection. "We made it."
If I wasn't awake before, I was now. I remember my earlier revelations that Spifire had subtly been giving me looks full of love, and now was no different. I realized that she would not likely act with subtlety for much longer.
"All right Soarin and Spitfire. I'll be ready to leave in a minute, just let me stretch my wings."
I turned around, and was caught completely off guard as Spitfire kissed me. I immediately broke off and jumped back.
"Spitfire! Wha...what was that!"
My mouth was hanging open in astonishment. I was about to continue, but Spitfire took advantage of my open mouth and kissed me again, putting her hooves around my neck, not letting me get away. My wings shot straight out sideways. I struggled, but Spitfire refused to let go.
I decided that the best thing to do would be to just let her do what she wanted so that we could leave. I closed my eyes and kissed her back. Instead of letting me go, she just put more passion into her kiss.
She broke off as Soarin called out. "Spitfire? Fireflash? Where are you?"
Spitfire flew up to the cave entrance and called out to Soarin while I tried desperately to make my wingboner go away before Soarin came back from exploring the area. As Soarin and Spitfire entered the cave, Soarin saw me hoofing at my wings, trying desperately to make them lay flat. I noticed him watching me and my face turned bright red, Spitfire giggling madly.
"Ummm...Fireflash? What are you doing?"
"I...I..." Unable to come up with an excuse, my face became redder, my wings still sticking out at my sides.
"Never mind, I don't want to know..." Soarin sighed. "Whenever...that...whatever it is goes away and you can fly again, let's get out of here."
After a couple of minutes, I was able to fly again, my wings no longer stiff. I took off out the exit and flew into the sky, before diving down and performing a sonic boom, flames shooting out around me, and I used my flame-colored tail to write smoking words in the sky, like Rainbow did after a sonic rainboom.
My skywriting read "RAINBOW DASH, WE'RE ALL RIGHT!"
I touched down next to Spitfire and Soarin. "She knows my style of skywriting, so just wait. She'll be here in ten seconds flat."
We didn't have to wait long. I heard her as I saw her, a rainbow streak blazing through the sky. "I'M COMING, FIREFLASH!" She tackled me to the grond in an enormous hug. "I missed you so much, Fireflash! Tell me everything!"
"Hehe. Don't forget that we still need to get home!"
"It looks like somepony's missed you, Fireflash!" Soarin chuckled. "Yeah! I can't express how happy I am to see all three of you! Everypony thinks that you're gone, but I never gave up looking! I knew that you'ld never leave me, Fireflash!"
"Of course not, Rainbow Dash. Let's go home."
With that, the four of us took off into the sunset, heading back home.
