Rarity couldn't believe what just happened. She couldn't believe Rainbow Dash did what she had done. Everything she had experienced couldn't compare to this, and all she could do is ask...why? Surely Rainbow had a reason...right? "Rainbow Dash...how could you do such a thing? Don't you care about his feelings?"
She simply frowned at Rarity in response. "Of course Rares, but I also care about mine. That was my decision and to be honest...I never really felt that way about him." She looked down at her feet and sighed. "It was hard to believe he would feel that way about me."
"And you don't feel the same way?" Rainbow shook her head no. Rarity fiddled with her empty hands and looked at Rainbow in slight sympathy. She had done the right thing then.... "It was still nice of you to let him down gently..." Rainbow looked up, a half smile creeping on her face as the guilt she had started to fade. Even if Speedy pulled out all the stunts he could in his limited time, he had to respect that she wasn't interested. He couldn't just expect her to fall head over heals for him just because he gave her the attention. "You did good Rainbow..."
"Thanks..." Suddenly, a small realization crossed her mind upon remembering Speedy's little stunt. From what she remembered, she saw a blue figure watching...could that have been him? "Oh no..." Rarity looked at the brash girl with concern. She felt the need to ask what was wrong, but it seemed like Rainbow read her mind at that. "You don't think Soarin saw anything...do you?" Both their eyes widened. If he had seen, Rainbow would be done for. "What would he think?"
Rarity put an assuring hand on her friend's shoulder. "Rainbow, I doubt he saw what happened. Besides if he DID see I'm sure he wouldn't mind since you didn't agree to go out with Speedy."
"What if he didn't hear that?" Rainbow started in an angry voice. "What if he only saw me with Speedy and assumed I said yes? What if he-"
Rarity put a finger over Dash's mouth. "Rainbow, darling, calm down. If Soarin saw anything, I would think he'd confront you about it." Rainbow looked up Rarity as if to ask if she was sure, which Rarity caught on to. "I promise Rainbow, everything will sort itself out. Don't worry."
She had every reason to worry. Soarin was Soarin, he had his way of finding things out. Especially since every kid in school knew he had a crush on her. There would be people lining up to tell him! And soon, if not already, he would know.
Rainbow smiled, trying to hide her fear. Even then, Rarity knew how she felt and gave her a friendly hug.
"Thank you, Rarity."
"No problem, darling."
"WHAT!!"
"Calm down dude..."
"WHAT!!"
"It's stuff that happens sometimes..."
"WHAT!!"
"Relax..." Thunderlane put his hand over Soarin's mouth. "Are you gonna scream again?"
"Mhaypbe," Soarin mumbled from under Thunderlane's hand, blogging it with saliva. Purposely.
"Ughhh," Thunderlane grumbled, cleaning his hand on his pants. Soarin smirked, but only for a second. Then he returned to his devastated expression.
"I just can't believe she would go out with him...what's so great about him? What's wrong with me? What does HE have, that I-" Soarin started before getting a smack from his stronger than he thought friend.
"NO. Don't even start with that, man. This is pure bullcrap!" Soarin looked terrified. Thunderlane gave his friend a stern look. "Pull yourself together! You are Soarin Skies! Dash would be throwing her self at you!"
Soarin looked down, smiling slightly at the idea. Then his tone turned a bit more serious as he took in everything Thunderlane said. "But she's not...she's throwing herself at Speedy..."
"That little traitor...you give him advice on girl and then he asks out your girl. Ungrateful I tell ya," Thunderlane said, in a slight joking manner. Soarin smiled at him a bit, still hung up on the fact that his first and only crush was swept away by a guy she didn't even know....
"I always thought she'd be the girl to wait..." Soarin whimpered softly. Thunderlane raised an eyebrow.
"Who knows anything these days? I thought I knew what I wanted..." Thunder's eyes widened. "Oh uh, back to your stuff!"
"Right...." Soarin gave his friend a knowing look. "I guess we're both a little clueless, huh?
"Yeah, apparently," Thunderlane agreed. "Just like Speedy. You help him out with a girl then this is your reward. Ungrateful bastard..."
"Uhh...genius, Dash was the girl," Soarin said sarcastically. Thunderlane playfully punched him in the arm.
"I know dude, I was trying to cheer you up."
"Well it's not working..." Soarin said looking over to the wall across him.
"Wow...you are just in asshole mode right now aren't you..." Thunderlane commented. Soarin gave him an annoyed look. "What?"
"Nevermind," Soarin grumbled. He wasn't in the mood to argue anymore, all he wanted was to go home and lay down...and cry. But he knew he couldn't do that. He looked down to his shoes quietly. "What am I gonna do?"
Thunderlane cringed. "What?"
"What do I do?"
"What do you do? Is this a question? You are Soarin Skies! You must show Speedy he doesn't touch your girl! Go! Kick him in the balls! Fight! Win!" Thunderlane screamed, climbing on the chair.
"Calm the fuck down..."
"NO! You are bumming yourself out about this! You can't do this, you have to fight for your girl. Don't settle for anything. Tell her how you feel!" Thunderlane grabbed Soarin by his shirt and shook him for a second. "NOW TELL ME, WHAT WILL YOU DO?"
"I...think I'm just gonna talk to Rainbow about this..."
"YES DO THAT! SHOW HER YOUR WORDS!"
"Jesus Christ..."
"DO IT!"
"What the heck is wrong with you...?"
"JUST DO IT!"
"Nike?"
"NO! THAT OTHER DUDE!"
"Oh..." Soarin sighed and slowly back away from Thunderlane. He held his hands out in defense in case the king of stupid...tried something stupid...
"YES!"
"And you were telling me to calm down..." he mumbled.
"DO IT!"
"You're like...infested in rabies..."
"YEAH!"
All of a sudden, a familiar girl was standing infront of them. She was far beyond bewildered.
"Uhh...what is going on here?" Rarity shifted her eyes at Thunderlane, who was know staring at her with a horrified expression.
"Shhhhhhhhh-"
