"I'm sorry..."
Rainbow Dash rinsed her face throughly hoping to cleanse every drop of sweat that rested on her cheeks and forehead. Only a few minutes had passed since her first show WITH her biggest idols, the Wonderbolts and she was still extremely happy. Despite the actual show being over.
As she dried herself with a towel, previous events of the day flowed back into her mind. How one of her biggest heros had framed her to keep a lousy record. How no one except her true friend Rarity believed her. The look of disappointment on his face.
Dash shook the thoughts out of her mind and walked out of her room on the east wing of the castle. She didn't really feel like flying at the moment. Exiting the east wing, she saw her friend Rarity walking towards her with a smile.
"Rainbow, darling, I was just on my way over to your room. The Wonderbolts wanted to invite you to a little get together in the castle gardens", Rarity smiled proudly, as usual.
"Oh...", Dash barely managed to say. All of their interrogations scooted their way into her head again. All their accusations. Yes, she was very pleased that she did end up flying with them, now the more she thought about it, the more it bothered her. Why had she forgiven them so easily? Why had she forgiven him so easily?
"I don't know Rares, I'm actually not feeling too good right now", Rainbow lied nervously and looked aroud a bit. "I think I'm gonna pass on this one".
Rarity looked suspiciously at Rainbow. She had never been one to pass on spending whatever time with her idols. Nonetheless, she simply nodded at her response and bid Dash goodnight.
She kept staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Rainbow couldn't believe she was really still upset about earlier. She was driving herself crazy about something she would usually overlook! Why couldn't she just let it go?! It wasn't like any of them still cared about it!
A sharp knock interrupted her thoughts as she was forced to look up. She wondered who could possibly be knocking at her door at that late of an hour.
"Dash, it's me, Soarin", she heard a rasp voice say. She nearly gasped and froze. She hoped he would think she's asleep or something and go away.
"I know you're not really feeling well but I need to talk to you", the voice said through the door. She, again, remained silent.
"Dash...?".
Rainbow bit her lip. She knew that even if she avoided it today, he would bring it up tomorrow. With slight hesitation she sat up.
"Come in, Soarin". Taking his cue, he turned the knob and opened the the door slowly. The ice blue pegasus popped his head through the door giving Rainbow a reassuring smile.
Rainbow smiled back as she felt her face slightly glow. Soarin walked over to her bed where she was resting and sat down next to her. Once he did, she opened her mouth to say something, but shut it almost immediately after and looked aroud, Soarin joining her soon after.
Silence surrounded the room as neither of the spoke. Soon enough the found themselves staring at each other and looked away awkwardly.
Tempted to disturb the silence, Dash once again had the idea of speaking up. However this time, Soarin beat her to it.
"So how are you feeling?", he asked quietly without looking up. How was she feeling? She was feeling like she wanted to break all the windows into a million pieces after smashing him into the floor. She wanted to beat him and the rest of the jerk team up. She wanted to yell at him until her voice failed. She wanted to hurt him as much as possible without actually hurting him. She just want him to know how much she felt like destroying him, but at the same time, just wanted to get into his shoulders.
"I've been better...", Rainbow said in a flat tone. Not exactly the answer he was looking for. Then again, it wasn't exactly the answer she wanted to give him.
"You missed some great pie back at the garden", Soarin joked, mentally facehoofing. His attempts at lighting up the mood seemed to work though as he earned a soft chuckle from Rainbow, who regretted it. He looked up and smiled at her, which she gladly returned before both their faces turned serious again. He then stared into her deep magenta eyes as she did the same with his enchanting emerald green ones.
"I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash", he whispered only loud enough for her to hear. Dash's eyes widened as she leaned back a bit.
"W-what?", she asked, stuttering.
"I'm sorry, Rainbow", Soarin said more clearly, keeping his eyes directly on hers."You're one of the ponies I should trust the most. After everything you've done for me, I really shouldn't have accused you like that. You probably hate me now, don't you?"
Yes. No.
"Soarin, I...", Dash started and looked away, "I don't know what to think anymore.... You were one of the Wonderbolts I admired the most because you hadn't tricked me or used me or...you get the point. I thought out all of them you would've stuck up for me and believed me but...but you...". A tear escaped her eye as Soarin had never felt worse about himself as he did just then.
Rainbow couldn't control herself anymore and threw herself at him, wrapping her hooves around him. She sobbed as she continued and lay her head on his chest. With no hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"You yelled at me, you threatened me, you...", Dash cried into his chest. She didn't bother to continue as she realized he was tearing up while holding into her as hard as he could without hurting her. She cleansed on him tighter in attempt to call him, as well as herself, down.
Soarin closed his eyes shut and let his tears flow down his cheeks. Soon, both just lay there holding each other close.
How could he have done this to her? How could he have let down all her expectations of him? The last thing he would've wanted was to hurt her, and that's just what he did. He could have at least helped her, yet he didn't. It was as if he didn't even care. Now all he wanted was to comfort her and hug her as long as he could.
Rainbow's soft snoring forced him to look down to see a sound asleep mare resting on his chest. He smiled to himself seeing how innocent she looked. And how innocent she was.
He lay her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Even though he wanted to stay with her, Soarin knew he couldn't sleep next to her. Not willing to leave her, he looked around to try to find a place to sleep on.
He decided to settle down on a plush chair near a corner. He moved it so that he was only a couple of feet away from her and lay down, using an extra blanket to cover himself with.
He looked at her peaceful, innocent face one last time before closing his own eyes and going to sleep.

Well, I'll start with the obvious remark. Closing the italics went, er, poorly.
The bolts are just assholes. Rainbow falls ep pissed me off way more than this one though.
6441978 Yeah, sorry I wrote this on the spot without supervising the whole story. Any suggestions?
6441978 Nevermind, fixed it. Was that the only thing that bothered you about it?
6442025 True but atleast Soarin wasn't a COMPLETE d bag...
6442086
Alright, besides that, just some minor remarks: when one is speaking, the punctuation comes before the closing quotation mark.
Should be...
There are multiple instances of similar mistakes. And...
Should be...
6442090 i was so happy that he had way more lines. I was literally fangirling. His entrance line made me think he was about you start flirting.
6442101 Oh thank you, no one's ever commented on it so I thought it was correct.
Very lovely story! you must continue!
I like it so far! If you ever get writer's block, come talk to me for help.
I LUVV IT!!!
YOU ARE SOOOOO TALENTED!!!! I LOVE THIS NEW FANFIC AS MUCH AS THE HUMAN ONE!!!!!!
Keep going!
(Remember to update the old fanfic too!)
Wanted to write something like this but, two people beat me to it XD
Good Job though!
UPDATE!
UPDATE!
UPDATE!
IF YOU UPDATE I BET YOU 10 VIRTUAL HEARTS
"HEY THATS NOT ALOT"
- QUOTED MLPdior
Lol just submitted a fic but not quite like this, but this is BETTER and longer, which is good news
I really shouldn't have accused you like that.
It was Wind Rider who accused.
6442025 To be fair, Spitfire was willing to go flying off to the Crystal mountains all on her own to make sure that her mom got what she needed to be healthy. They are not great ponies, but they are not terrible either. I think they are learning from Dash at this point.
6444998 I noticed. But I feel like that was only a plot divive and not much other. We'll no doubt have more bolt episodes and with every episode there's a conflict. We'll see more of asshole bolts.
Soarin should apologize. In my view that was the weakest part of the episode the Wonderbolts especially Soarin should believed Dash and stuck up for her. Even if the evidence was against her.
Nice story.
6444623 Yet he believed it... True though. Windrider was a crappy villan
6445279 Yeah, chapter two will have some more explaining on this ^^
6444606 Aww, don't say that beb, would you mind me reading your story? I would love to see your point of view.
....But Soarin gave Rainbow the benefit of the doubt despite her being the only realistic suspect?
6445420 It's called "Nothing We Can Say"
6445406
I felt he was better than villains who existed purely to be something for the protagonists to overcome (like Suri).
6445428 ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED IN LE NEXT CHAPTER O3O
That was so cute!
Aside from that, nice story
Rainbow... (sigh) It isn't that simple, filly. There is something that service requires of you that I'm not sure you understand just yet. He couldn't be your friend, Soarin' at that point. He had to be Lieutenant Soarin. He had a responsibility to the team: to maintain discipline and order.
Yeah, that probably sucked for him as much as it sucked for you. Notice that he didn't just accept Wind Rider's accusations and bounce you out of the team. He gave you time and a fair chance. Not anypony would have done that for you, you know!
I highly agree. I really love SoarinxDash. That episode really ticked me off. I just...I just... I JUST... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Dang that hurt now that you mention it it was surprising that Wonder bolts especially soarin should have known and backed her up but instead he let his Judgment at the best of him and I really don't blame Rainbow dash for being mad at them I'm just kind of glad that Soarin was the one who apologized at least even though it's still kind of hurts
I’m glad someone decided to address this. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Wonderbolts just seem like jerks. Nearly every episode with them in it has them treating Rainbow unfairly or manipulating her somehow. The fact that not one of them stood up for her here pissed me off, especially since I ship SoarinDash. Now that I think about it though, it’s really only the basic Soarin character concept I find appealing: the Wonderbolt teammate Dash saved and got a bit close to. The actual Soarin in the show is kind of a jerk, and has a very irritating voice. The other ‘bolts are pretty shitty, as Rainbow Falls proved. I suppose everyone’s an ass, Rainbow included, in Newbie Dash, but the less said about that abomination the better.
