The wedding was great everypony their was happy and enjoying themselves and the wedding, I however just wanted it to end. Not because I didn't enjoy the wedding, it was quite the opposite, really. I was really happy, I would see my Dashie again! That's all that mattered to me. That however also made me feel really nervous. What if she hates me, what if she never forgives me? What if she hates me and I'm the last thing in Equestria she wants to see? "Shut up," thoughts I mentally screamed at myself.
I follow the crowd of ponies through the hall and out side the castle. Where the after party was taking place. The only thing I was thinking about however was what I would say to Rainbow Dash once I found her. I stopped and scanned the scene looking for a familiar rainbow maned cyan Pegasus. She couldn't be that hard to spot, could she? I looked around, no rainbow manes for as far as I could see. "Where could she be," I thought to myself. I continued to scan all of the ponies but saw none that looked familiar or even close to the rainbow maned mare witch I was looking for.
I started making my way through the crowd, after about an half hour of looking I was about to give up. I pushed past ponies towards the closest exit. I pushed through all the ponies only for somepony else to bump straight into me and both of us stumbled to the ground. I grinned as big as I could when I saw Rainbow Dash in front of me. She looked up at me, and I finally snapped back to my senses. I silently offered my hoof unsure of what to say, other than to offer an Awkward smile.
"Here let me help you up," I said.
"S- Soarin," Rainbow Dash asked me, seemingly in disbelief.
"Yeah," I confirmed nervously.
"Look Rainbow Dash I just wanted to say I'm sorry-"
"Save it, she interrupted.
I felt my heart shatter, I'm pretty sure I wilted a little inside.
"That's in the past I guess," Rainbow Dash said sounding unsure. "I don't want to think about it any more than I have to," she explained.
I smiled now getting a small feeling of hope. Maybe every thing wasn't completely lost after all?
"Are you okay," I ask tenderly.
"Yeah I guess," Rainbow Dash said starting to look a little upset.
I picked up on it quickly and decided to change the subject.
"So do you wanna dance," I blurted out suddenly.
Rainbow dash sincerely looked up in surprise. It took her a second to process what I had said before she looked up at me.... A long awkward few seconds. Those beautiful magenta eyes though, I could stare into them for hours. they're prettier than the prettiest diamond in all of Equestria. I would love nothing more that to be able to spend the rest of my life with Rainbow Dash but I know that that's probably not going to happen, at least not any time soon.
"Um, ok," Rainbow Dash asked more than said.
I just smirked knowingly and grabbed her hoof as I lead the way to the dance floor.
It wasn't long before we both started having fun. Both of us were grinning and laughing like the good old times. We had a blast and told each other stories about funny or interesting things that have Been going on in our lives. We were having an amazing time when suddenly their was a bright flash.
"What was that," Rainbow Dash asked curiously.
We both looked around for the possible source of the light but soon shrugged it off as nothing. Sadly nothing lasts forever, time simply flew by. Heh, That seem's to be happening a lot to me lately. Every pony was starting to pack up and leave slowly but surly.
"Aaawwww," I groaned in disappointment, as Rainbow Dash explained that she had to meet up with her friend's and go home.
"Dash," I said quickly, grabbing her hoof before she had the chance to leave.
"Huh? What is something wrong," Rainbow Dash asked me, while giving me one of those
'what the heck are you doing' looks.
"Huh, oh, no, I um, I just," I stammered before finally pulling myself together. "I, um just wanted to know if your not to busy we can meet up this Thursday only if you want to," I added quickly. "I um, have the day off from the bolts."
Rainbow Dash tilted her head, seemingly thinking. Then she smiled,
"okay Soar meet me at my place, say around noon?"
"Yup that's perfect, I exclaimed, much louder then I meant to" "I-I mean, um, sounds good! See you then, I said nervously. I was trying hard to fight back the blush forming on my face, from both embarrassment and Dashie using my nickname.
"Just like back in height school," I thought, thinking back to all the fun times we shared.
