//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 House for the future // Story: Rainbows and love letters // by Flat spin //------------------------------// MLP: FiM Rainbows and love letters By: flat spin Dash and Soarin were flying towards Cloudsdale. the warm summer wind made their mane flicker in the wind as they held each-others hooves and smiled. They could see that every pony was enjoying the warm summer weather even thou everyone knew that there would be a storm brewing in the future if the trade deal fell out flat. Dash and Soarin had picked Cloudsdale for their home for a couple of reason. number one being that the wonderbolt HQ was located there and Soarin had to get to work fast. but also both of them grew up in Cloudsdale and Dash’s parents lived there. Also Cloudsdale is the dream town for every Pegasus in Equestria. Cloudsdale had everything that a Pegasus could wish from a city. It was the perfect place to settle down. in wasn’t too far from Ponyville and it would be the perfect place for raising foals. They had already been to a couple of cloud houses but they hadn’t yet found the perfect one for them. but it changed when they arrived at the last house. “Sunshine avenue 13.” Soarin said as they arrived at the house. it was huge even bigger than Dash’s old house. The house was surrounded by a fence which gave it a royal feeling. there was a fountain in the middle of the front yard and the pillars in front of the house looked like they were in Chanterlot. The front yard of the house was large and the house was on top of a small hill. The house itself was two stories high and it had huge windows and it looked like it was meant for royalty. “I think this is it…” Dash said as she looked at the house. “Maybe we should look at it from the inside too.” Soarin said and they walked to the door and knocked on it. “Hello how my name is shining keys and I’m the real estate agent for this house.” The brownish mare said and smiled at the two of them. “Umm… hello my name is Soarin and this is Rainbow Dash. And we are looking for a house to buy.” Soarin said as two of them walked in to the house and looked at the grandness of it. The room height was huge and the rooms were large as well they could see the kitchen and the living room both of them were huge rooms. sure the fact that the house had no furniture in it made it look even larger than it already was and the white walls and huge windows didn’t help it either. “Well as you can see this is a huge house… master bedroom is upstairs there are also five other bedrooms up there. living room is here downstairs with the kitchen and the dining room and two other rooms. also down here are one bathroom, shower and a sauna. upstairs there are two bathrooms one of them is connected to the master bedroom. also there is a basement which has a custom made sports bar.” The mare told the as they were looking around the house. “Who was the previous owner?” Soarin asked as he looked the white rooms and thought about what he and Dash could do to each one of them. “Well… the house was originally built to the duke of Vanhoover as a holiday home but he sold it quickly to a mister Fancy pants who is selling it now. he made the bar to the basement and build the garden up. the house went through full renovations last year and is in pristine condition.” The mare told them. “Well Dash. what do you think?” Soarin said and walked next to Dash. “I think it’s perfect.” She said and kissed Soarin. “How much is he asking for this?” Soarin asked the mare. “Only one point five million.” “Oh jeez… Soarin there is now way we can afford this.” Dash said and looked Soarin. “Dashie you sold your old house for two five hundred thousand bits and my wonderbolt paycheck will cover the rest easily.” Soarin said and hugged her. “Really? I dunno it’s still super expensive… and it has way too much room anyways.” Dash said and looked a bit said. “Well we have five extra bed rooms upstairs… I say one will be the visitors bed room and one could be a bed room for my brother since he is gonna be around a lot and one would be for Scootaloo when she come back from the summer camp. the room downstairs could be made to be a tea room and a library. the basements bar could be turned in to some sort of man cave for me and my brother… and the two bedrooms next to the master bedroom would be for a little colt and the other one for a little filly.” Soarin said and kissed Dash to the forehead. “I guess you have it all planned… fine this will be our home.” Dash said and kissed Soarin. “My lawyer will be in contact and will do the transaction.” Soarin said and looked at the real estate agent. “Great well let’s get your names on the paper and I’ll wait for your lawyers call.” The mare said and smiled. They signed the papers and soon it was all done they would get the keys tomorrow when Soarin's lawyer had made the payment. but before that they still had a night to enjoy so they setup a meeting in the wonderful wing restaurant with Spin so they could talk about what would happen now than they had their own house. Soarin and Dash arrived to the wonderful wing and walked in. “Hello we I have a table reserved for three.” Soarin said to the waiter. “Name please.” the waiter asked him but before he could answer it a male voice came from behind him. “Mister Soarin Dash.” Spin said and walked next to Dash. “You know that were not married.” Dash said to Spin. “Yet.” Spin smiled to Dash and walked off behind the waiter who lead them to their booth. “Well… I suppose there is a reason you wanted to meet?” Spin said as they were eating. “Yes… we just got done with buying a house.” Soarin said and smiled. “Oh that’s great… now I don’t have to listen to you two all night.” Spin said and smiled. “It’s quite a big one… and we made sure that there were enough room for you and Scootaloo.” Dash said and smiled at Soarin. “Also there is some room for an small expansion to our little family.” “Also I’m gonna need your help redesigning the basement bar. I was thinking that we would make it into a clubhouse for us and our friends at the air force. you know a privet bar with an aviation theme.” “That all sounds wonderful… but I have some news about the new trade deal that Celestia has suggested to the Saddle Arabians… it doesn’t look good. they would never accept it.” Spin said and looked at Soarin. I’m getting deployed tomorrow to the EQS Dawnbreaker. And the rumour that goes around the captains is that the wonderbolts will be also deployed sooner or later.” Spin said and looked at Dash who had grasped Soarin’s hoof. “But the war can be still avoided… right?” Dash asked him. “I dunno if that is gonna happen. there is a storm gathering in the horizon and it’s not gonna go away… Soarin you know what you have to do before the rainy days start…” Spin told them in a super serious tone. “You are getting back to the wonderbolts in what three days?” Spin asked Soarin. “Yeah.” Soarin said to him “Well make sure those three days are gonna be good onces… because you never know when you last flight is gonna happen when you are flying in a combat zone.” Spin said and stood up. “I’ll meet you guys tomorrow at the house. have a good night.” And then he walked off leaving Dash and Soarin in silence.
