Soarin and Dash both followed her and three of them stated eating their food. “I think it’s time for you to hit the sheets Scoots.” Dash said “no… I wanna hang out with you guys…” Scootaloo said and looked at the two grownups. “You are gonna be hanging out with us tomorrow after the show. so it best you go to bed now. so you don’t sleep during the air show.” Soarin said and stood up. “Fine… Good night to two of you.” Scootaloo said and hugged first Dash and then Soarin which caught him by surprise. Soon scootaloo left the kitchen and went up to her room. “I see you are good with kids.” Dash said and gave Soarin a small hug. “Yeah… I guess but you know what... now that we’re alone.” Soarin said and pulled Dash in for a passionate kiss but Dash soon broke it and said. “We can’t rut tonight… Scootaloo could catch us and you need to rest for the show.” Dash said and started walking towards the stairs. “I guess you right… but that doesn’t stop me from cuddling you for the rest of the night.” Soarin said and followed her to her bed room. Both of the jumped on to the bed and started kissing and cuddling. Dash rolled on top of Soarin and looked at his emerald eyes. Soarin looked Dash and said. “I love you.” “I love you too.” and they continued hugging each other until they could hear a yell. “Could you two stop rutting each other I’m trying to sleep!” Scootaloo yelled from the room next to Dash’s bed room. “Sorry.” Soarin and Dash both said and blushed knowing that Scootaloo had figured out what they did last night and what was their relationship. Two of them started sleeping. Dash on top of Soarin’s chest. “Dash opened her eyes and saw sun hitting Soarins face. “Good morning beautiful” Soarin said while looking at Dash. “How long have you been awake?” “Couple of minutes… you know that your eyes are the most beautiful things in the world.” Soarin said and wrapped his arms around Dash. “Yours aren’t bad looking either.” Dash said while smiling and gave Soarin a kiss. “I need to get going… I have to set up the clouds that you guys will use in the show. Could you look after scootaloo until the show starts?” dash asked and got up from the bed. “Sure thing. we don’t have practice today but we do have a team meeting… I hope she doesn’t get bored.” “Are you serious I’m gonna be part of an official wonderbolt team meeting… This is gonna be awesome!” Scootaloo said as she stood in the door way. “How long have you been there and what have I told you about evesdropping.” Dash said and looked at the filly. “Sorry… I just got up.” “it’s ok Scoots. I have to go now so you two have a fun day I’ll be picking you up from Soarin after I’m done with the clouds.” Dash said and hugged Scootaloo and gave Soarin another kiss and left for work. “So… the meeting is in a couple of hours so I think we should grab something to eat from that bakery in downtown and then go and meet the others… does that sound good?” Soarin asked as he got up from the bed. “Yeah of course.” Scootaloo said and two of the left for Sugar cube corner. “Ok guys put the regular clouds around the field near the ground so that the ‘bolts can get the easily when they need them for their stunts.” Dash said at her team. “What about that nasty thunder cloud.” Cloud kicker said and pointed at a large dark cloud that was giving out a few sparks here and there. “Put it low to the ground in the middle of the field… That’s their grand finale.” Dash said and the weather team got to work moving the clouds to in to an circular shape around the field near the ground. “Hi guys” Soarin said cheerfully as he walked it to a tent a conference room in the stadium. “Good day Soarin I see that you brought a visitor. you know I always thought that it took at least nine months to give birth to a foal not nine hours.” Spitfire said as Soarin and Scootaloo walked in. “Ha ha very funny Spits… this is Scootaloo Dash’s kinda-little-sister.” Soarin said while rolling his eyes. “And what’s that supposed to mean.” Fleetfoot said as she walked into the room. “Long story.” Scootaloo said. “So kid… are you gonna be a wonderbolt when you grow up?” Spitfire asked. “I would like to be... but I’m not a strong flyer… my wings are weak. I can’t really fly too well.” Scootaloo said and looked at the ground. “That’s ok your wings will grow up at some point.” Surprise said as she walked up to Scoots. “Have you guys seen the twins they are late again?” Spifire asked fron the others. “I saw fire with his marefriend last evening sleeping under a tree but after that no.” Soarin said “aww that’s so sweet.” Fleetfoot said whit pushing her cheeks together. “Shut up Fleet.” Fire said as he walked in. “So the date went well I assume.” Spitfire said. “Yeah…” Fire said and blushed and just at that moment Lighting walked in. “And where were you?” Spitfire sifted her focus to the other twin “Where do you think?” Lightning said cheerfully as he smiled. “I see that you also had a good night.” Spitfire said and continued. “anyway all of you know the routine. the show starts in an hour and people have already stated to come in. so get ready suit up and focus. the weather team is almost done setting up the clouds and you know how the rest goes we have done this so many time before so I expect this to go just like always PERFECTLY.” Spitfire as Dash opened the door and peaked in. “We’re done. the clouds are ready.” Dash said as the wonderbolts looked at her. “good get ready guys we’re up in soon.” Spitfire said and the wonderbolts started going towards the locker rooms so they could change to their flight suits. but Soarin stayed in the room with Scootaloo and Dash. “You two should get to your private box.” Soarin said to them. “Yeah… you take care of yourself out there. Dash said as Scootaloo left the room. “I love you.” She said to Soarin and gave him a kiss. “I love you too.” Soarin said and walked in to the locker room. The show was sold out there were ponies filling all seats of the stadium. The routine was awesome the wonderbolts did all different kinda of spins and rolls and busted and kicked the clouds. Spitfire was turning clouds in to mist with fire and the twins did their synchronized flight routine. Fleetfoot was busting clouds faster than anypony else with her amazing speed and Surprise was doing her routine near the ground. but when it came to for the finale Soarin flew really high. so high in fact that the stadium that was full of people looked like a small house. in the meantime the rest of the wondebolts where lifting the dark thundercloud up. the idea was that Soarin would pierce the cloud and sent out an explosion of lightings. Soarin had done this hundreds of times and his expertise at lightning bending were a huge help when pulling this move out. He started the nose dive toward the ground and thundercloud. he could see the other wonderbolts were ready to do their synchronized routine at the moment he would hit the cloud and pull up. Dash was looking at Soarin as he dove towards the cloud she knew the he knew what to do but she was still worried. As the cloud came closer Soarin spotted that it was darker that usually… it wouldn’t be the first time the weather factory messed up with the colouring process but this… this... this was different. When he got to his max speed the cloud was close enough to see the sparks and pops that the cloud was emitting. He quickly realised that this wasn’t a regular thundercloud… this was a super charged thundercloud. he knew that super charged thunderclouds were extremely dangerous and if he would try to pull of his move he would get fried so he quickly tried to pull up from his dive but it was too late he hit the cloud and the cloud went up in a huge explosion of lightings and flames. the strength of the explosion threw Soarin to the ground and the ponies on the grand stands felt the shock wave. Dash and the other wonderbolts quickly flew out to Soarin to see if he was ok. Soarin was on the ground grunting and crying. his flight suit was torn apart and his body had few nasty burns on it. Dash got next to him in cried out in panic. “Soarin are you ok!” “I’m fine… just hurts like hell… and I think my left wing might be broken.” Soarin said while lying on the ground crying in pain. The medical personnel started treating Soarin on the field. Soarin was holding Dash’s hooves tight while he was in pain. “Is he gonna be ok?” Spitfire asked the medic that was looking over Soarin’s body. “He is in serious pain and is gonna be in pain for a couple of days. the burns aren’t that bad but they are gonna leave a small mark to his belly and his left wing is broken. he is gonna be fine in a week or so but the wing is gonna take a couple of months to heal properly.” The medic said. “So I guess you aren’t flying for a while.” Spitfire said to Soarin. “What went wrong Soarin… this had never happened before?” “The cloud… it wasn’t a thundercloud… it was a super charged thundercloud…” Soarin said while he stood up with the help of Dash. “But the weather factories don’t even make those things any more… they were too dangerous to use.” Spitfire said while rubbing her chin. “Someone had to take the regular thundercloud and super charged it overnight… but it needs a lot of skill to do that…” When Spitfire said that Dash realised everything. She knew only one pony who knew all about making thunderclouds. “Thunderlane!” Dash screamed in panic and looked at Soarin… and then she realised that she had left Scootaloo at their seats in the private box near the field but when she looked at the box she didn’t see her but she saw a black Pegasus flying away with a bag over his back and when dash saw that she yelled on top of her lungs in panic “Scootaloo!”
