Blinded Faults

"Rainbow Dash!" Spitfire called out across the runway. Her new teammate perked up excitedly.

"Yes Ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting and looking both ways before crossing. She didn't want another disaster like before to happen again.

"At ease," Spitfire said, before continuing. "The Bolts' always head out after a performance, you wanna come?" she asked. Dash grinned, before striking a pose.

"Oh yes," she said in a deep voice. Spitfire held in a chuckle, before shaking her head and flying away.

"Meet us at the front of the compound in a half hour, 'kay?" she asked, her figure getting smaller each passing second.

"Copy that!" Dash yelled as loud as she could so the firey captain could hear her. She looked around at the empty field, before doing a little double-take once she knew the coast was clear.

She was so thankful that the Wonderbolts had accepted her back, even if it did mean having to get a horrible nickname. Rainbow Crash, she shuddered every time she thought about it.

But hey, it wasn't as bad as Spitfire's name...

Dash grinned heavily, before fluttering inside the locker room to get changed into more comfortable attire.

Not saying that the Wonderbolt suit didn't look totally awesome.

She entered the room, which seemed empty to her, and slauntered over to her locker. She pulled off her uniform, and stretched out.

"Lookin' good, Dash." She continued to strike ridiculous poses in front of the mirror. "Lookin' real good."

Rainbow Dash suddenly heard quiet snickers coming from the entrance to the room. She quickly zipped around to lay her eyes on the last pony she expected to see; Soarin.

The baby-blue stallion noticed she was staring at him, and burst into a fit of laughter.

"Oh... oh Rainbow Dash," he said in-between his giggles. "P-P-P-Priceless! HA!"

Rainbow Dash's eyes widened as she surveyed the scene.

"S-Soarin!" she stammered out. "Oh dear... You weren't supposed to see that..." she said as quietly as possible. Soarin snorted.

"I got that," he said, trying hard to contain his laughter. Dash rolled her eyes.

"Don't tell me you've never done anything like that before," she said with a devilish smirk. Soarin suddenly stopped his act and straightened up like a stick.

"Uh..." he said, averting his eyes away from her. Dash furrowed her eyebrows and smiled with a demon-like spur.

"Gotcha," she said in a soft, cunning voice, bending down slowly. Soarin's eyes widened as he realized what she was about to do.

"Wait, Dash, n-" he started, before being interrupted by her body pouncing on his.

The two looked at each other, before smiling wide and beginning to laugh. Dash got up, and helped the blue Wonderbolt up. They grinned, before Dash turned away to look back at her locker.

"So, why are you here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be getting ready to leave or something?" she asked. Soarin shrugged, before walking up beside her.

"Actually, I was looking for you," he said. Dash turned to face him, and raised her eyebrows.

"Why?" she asked.

"I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, but you never seem to be alone around here, always around the other's or something." he said. Dash nodded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," she said with a smile. "But why do you wanna talk to me in the first place?" she asked. Soarin sighed softly.

"Well... uh... you see..." he stumbled out. Dash coughed impatiently.

"Yes?" she asked. Soarin gave her a weird look.

"Uh... the thing is..." he said, trying again. Dash rolled her eyes.

"Oh spit it out," she said with a smile. Soarin shook his head rapidly.

"I... came to say I'm sorry," he said quietly. Dash's ears perked up, as she looked over to the stallion with wide eyes.

"What? For what?" she asked. Soarin slumped his head down.

"For treating you like I did..." he said. Dash took a step back.

"What do you mean?" she asked him.

"I don't know... what I did to you was wrong," Soarin said. Dash bit her lip and looked away. "I can't believe I said those things to you..." he continued.

"Nah, it's fine Soarin, real-"

"No, Dashie. It was wrong," Soarin cut in. Dash looked up to him.

Did he just call me 'Dashie'? "Uh..."

"I... I don't even know what to say anymore. Rainbow Crash? What was I thinking?" Soarin went on. Dash scrunched her eyebrows at him, and shook her head.

"Soarin, seriously. It's okay. I got over it, really," she said. Soarin took a step up to her.

"Are... are you sure?" he asked. Dash nodded.

"Don't worry about it. Besides, with me on your team, it's me who should be apologizing," she said glumly.

"What?"

"I was such a fool all those times. I can't believe I actually thought I could pull off a stunt like that in the show," Dash said. Soarin gave her a small smile, and draped a hoof over her.

"Hey, it's better than what I did in my first performance," he said. Dash tilted her head.

"What did you do?" she asked. Soarin chuckled with an embarrassing blush.

"Oh... well... I might have tried grabbing my teammates, throwing them in the air, and catching them," he said shyly. Dash widened her eyes in shock.

"You did WHAT?!" she yelled. "I can't even begin to imagine what Spitfire did to you after that," she said with a grin. Soarin shuddered and shook his head.

"Oh you don't even want to know," he said. "Let's just say... she isn't the biggest fan of ponies flinging her into the air."

Dash snorted.

"Ha..." she let out a suppressed giggle. Soarin smiled.

"Anyway, enough about me. How are you feeling?" he asked her. Dash shrugged.

"Gotta say, that massive blow to the head was no laughing matter, but I feel a lot better now, thanks," she said, before kicking up into the air. "Now if we don't hurry up, we're gonna be late for the celebratory party."

Soarin flew up after her.

"Heh... you got that right! And knowing Spitfire, she'll be quite... upset if we don't show up on time," he said, laughing silently to himself. Dash giggled.

"Well, let's not learn how that's like, and go for it," she exclaimed, before flying out of the compound.

Soarin stared after her figure, and shook his head, chuckling.

"Oh Rainbow Dash... you'll be a great addition to this team," he said, before flying after her.

Author's Note:

I gotta say, I completely freaked over the new episode. God, I loved it so much.
I legit cried when Spitfire told Dash, "What she said." OH MY GOD.

I was SQUEALING when Dash did her Rarity impression and flirted with Soarin. EEEEEE!

Ah well, just had to write this little thing before continuing with my other projects. XD Ahh SoarinDash is just too cute man! ^.^

Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed! ;3
