BONUS Chapter 5
Rainbow Dash and Soarin walked into school that day with their hands interlocked. They didn't know how everyone was going to take the news of their relationship, and they were in no rush to find out.
"See you after class?" Soarin asked, letting go of his hold on Rainbow Dash. She nodded.
"Yeah... see ya'. Text me," she said simply, shooting him a wink before making her way down the corridor. Soarin smiled after her, before he turned the opposite direction.
Rainbow Dash sauntered silently into her Math class, immediately noticing her friends sitting in the corner shooting her curious looks. She cautiously made her way over to them, giving them a confused smile as she sat down in her usual seat.
"Uh... hey guys," she started, "what's up?"
"We should be asking you the same question," Twilight said with a raised eyebrow. Rainbow Dash gulped, instantly figuring out that the five of them knew something.
"Erm... yeah?" Rainbow Dash tried, playing it up cool. Twilight nodded.
"Right. So..." she said, searching for the correct words. Rarity rolled her eyes before butting in herself.
"We couldn't help but notice, darling," she said, "how... close you were with Soarin this morning."
Applejack nodded. "Yeah... I reckon I saw you two holding each other's hands," she said. Rainbow Dash shrugged.
"Well, uh... he is my friend, so..." she drawled.
"Rainbow Dash, just remember that we won't be angry... or mad... or anything if you want to tell us something," Fluttershy said quietly, "unless of course, you want us to?"
Pinkie Pie pushed the shy girl out of the way and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! What she said!"
Rainbow Dash quirked an eyebrow at her friends. "Right... well, there's nothing I want to tell you guys," she said, "at least... not yet."
There was an outbreak of nervous giggling from all different directions surrounding the rainbow-haired teen, but she ignored it and moved on to listen to an equally irritating lesson on ratios.
Lunch time only came to soon. Rainbow Dash was starving by the time she sat herself down at her normal table with the rest of her friends. She caught Soarin's eye, shooting him another wink from the morning, and quickly turning back to her food, not failing to notice the desperate eyes of her friends on her.
"Did you just wink at him?" Twilight inquired. Rainbow Dash shook her head thoroughly.
"No, of course not," she said. Rarity laughed.
"Ohhhh she's blushing! She's blushing!" she exclaimed. Pinkie Pie grinned.
"ABORT! ABORT! ABO-" she started screaming, before being cut off.
"I'm just gonna stop ya' right there," Applejack said, placing a hand over her cheery friend's mouth. Pinkie Pie shrugged, going back to her food.
Rainbow Dash groaned, looking away but regretting it instantly. Soarin was looking at her. She tilted her head in confusion as he pulled out his phone and gestured to it, giving her a sly smile.
Dash knew what he was referring to; she took her own mobile from her pocket and sure enough, there was a message on the screen.
[You have one new notification from Sky High]
Sighing, she opened the text and begun to read it.
[Sky High: Welp. ready to tip every one's scales?]
Rainbow Dash grinned, typing out a message back and quickly stowing away her phone. She looked at Soarin and nodded.
[Daring Dash: i think they've waiting enough yes]
Within the minute of sending the text, Soarin was up and out of his seat, walking towards her in a stride. Rainbow Dash grinned, aware of the so fifty eyes on them. She quickly got up to, the whole hall falling silent in anticipation.
Soarin grinned, reaching into his pockets and pulling out a small, red rose. He held it out to her.
"For the lovely lady," he said as Rainbow Dash took it with a large smile. She looked at him with a smirk, leaning in and placing her lips on his cheek in a quick peck.
"For the handsome boy," she said, winking and sitting back in her seat. Soarin looked at her once, before grinning and making his own way back to his table.
The entire cafeteria was deadly silent, the only sounds coming from Rainbow Dash and Soarin as they chewed their food with amused expressions.
Suddenly, a very familiar screech filled their ears.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Rarity squealed as everyone started wolf-whistling and cheering.
"ABOUT DAMN TIME!"
"FINALLY!"
Rainbow Dash and Soarin only smiled.
