The wonderbolts had just finished their training session and were heading to the locker rooms. “ Hey Soarin!” The light blue stallion with a navy blue mane heard a yell behind him and turned around to see two wonderbolts. “What is it now lightning” Soarin said with an annoyed tone. “Well…” The light blue stallion with a yellow mane stumbled “I just wanted to ask if you want to join me and fire for a boys night out?” Lightning streak asked. “Just like the good old days before you became the second in command. Hit the club, get some drinks, have a good time, get some mares.” The white stallion with orange mane added to his brothers question. “Do you two realise that we have a show in two days and we need to focus on practising” Soarin said to the to the two of them. “Yes I do realise that but I think that you don’t realise that we have practised this routine for TRHEE WEEKS!” Lightning said while rising an eyebrow. “You have been so focused on your job that you hadn’t had time to relax and cool off.” Fire said while pointing at Soarins chest. “I guess you guys are right. I have been really focused on this upcoming show in ponyville.” Soarin agreed “But it doesn’t mean we can go party right before it.” He continued. “come on Soarin it’s time to take that stick out of your ass and relax.” Thrushrated Fire Streak said. “Fine. I’m only doing this for you two since you guys are my best friends.” Soarin said in annoyed tune while grunting. “YES let’s hit the club and get shitfaced!” Lightning yelled in excitement. “But no drinking” Soarin said with a strait face. “Why” the two brothers ask in unison. “because we have a show coming. I don’t want to see any headlines of drunken wonderbolts wondering around mares in tomorrows news. Do you understand me?” he said while looking at the to stalions. “YES SIR WE UNDERSTAND SIR” the Streak brothers yelled in unison while saluting. Soarin let out a few chuckles and said “come on you two let’s hit the showers and get going after all the night isn’t that long” Soarin said while smiling at the two of them. Three of them started walking to the locker room while laughing. “So what place are we gonna go to?” Soarin asked. “Well the train to Ponyville leaves in an hour so I was thinking that we could go to that club in Ponyville. you know the one we went last time we had a show in Ponyville couple of years a go.” Fire Streak said to Soarin. “That’s fine by me but we have a lot of packing to do so how about we get to it so we’ll make it to the train station in time.” Lightning said while the three of them enter the locker room. “Oh I don’t know Rarity… I have a lot of work tomorrow because the wonderbolt show is coming so my weather team needs to be on top of things” The rainbow maned light blue Pegasus said. “I know but I’m sure that a little girl’s night out isn’t going to ruin the show. Right Applejack?” the white unicorn asked her earth pony friend. “Yeah it’s been a while since three of us spent so time together” the orange farmer said while looking at rainbow dash. “You know that the first wonderbolts are going to arrive on the evening train from Cloudsdale today. a few of the might even go for a couple of drinks at the Vinyl's club” Rarity teased Rainbow dash. “Really?” rainbows ears peaked up “You think that they might be at Vinyl’s club?” Rainbow Dash ask with excitement. “Of course I think that. It’s the best (and only) club in ponyville.” Rarity said to Rainbow while smiling. “So sugar cube you coming or what?” Applejack asked. “Well since the wonderbolts might be there… sure I’ll come with you guys.” Rainbow Dash answered to Applejack. “Ok let’s get you girls ready with some make up and get going so we can get drunk and have some fun.” Rarity yelled in excitement. “But I’m not drinking today” Rainbow cut her off. “why.” Her friends asked in unison. “I have work tomorrow. I’m setting up the cloud track that the wonderbolts are going to use. I can’t be buzzed and try to build complex cloud formations.” Rainbow told her friends. “Fine… But we’re still going to have a good time and maybe even find some company” Rarity said with a few chuckles while blushing a bit as she picked up her makeup bag from the the table and and turnd to face Applejack. “Ya ent puttin that stuff on me Rarity” Applejack said but it was too late Rarity had already started her attack. Rainbow Dash could only watch as Applejack try to struggle as Rarity started applying the makeup. Couple minutes later Rarity said. “Ok applejack you are ready” Applejack didn’t answer but gave Rarity a long death stare. Rarity quickly turned around and looked at Rainbow dash. “help.” Rainbow Dash said quietly as Rarity started walking torwards her with her makeup bag. Applejack just watched as Rarity pick her weapon of choice or in this case mascara and started her assault. The battle was ruthless even thou it was pretty one sided. after a few minutes past Rarity said “You look fabulous my darling” letting out few chuckles as she look Rainbow. “I have told you millions of times that I don’t do this… this… girly makeup stuff Rarity.” Rainbow told to Rarity while giving her an angry glare. “Oh come on you two I only put some mascara and little lipstick on you girls. if you want to look as fabulous as me you need so much more that what you girls are wearing.” Rarity explained to the to mares who where looking at her with angry glares. “Well you to look like you are ready for some fun.” Rarity said while laughing. “Well come on the clock is ticking and I was hoping to get something to eat from sugar cube corner before we hit the club”. That said the three mares state to walk away from carousel boutique and torwards sugar cube corner. > Chapter 2 Friendly advice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin “Alright everypony get moving!” Spitfire yelled as Soarin and the Streak twins entered the train cart. “Fleetfoot and Surprise get in already” She yelled again at the two mares who were chatting on the platform. “We’re coming Spitty relax.” Fleetfoot said while walking torwards the train cart. Canterlot central station was huge complex with six platforms all full of ponies trying to get to their trains on time. Good thing the six wonderbolts came early so they would get to their private train cart in time. All of the passengers got in and the train left leaving Chanterlot behind and heading towards ponyville. “Well it’s a 20 minute train ride so you got some time to relax.” Spitfire told her teammates. “once we get to Ponyville you got the rest of the day off. The show is in two days so get some sleep we got an early morning tomorrow. Final practice starts at sun rise at the stadium.” She said while looking at Soarin and the Streak twins who were siting at the front of the cart. “So umm… you guys wanna talk about something.” Soarin said and ended the awkward silence and looked at the twins who were siting in front of him. The twins just looked at each other and gave and evil grin to Soarin. “Of course we wanna talk about something.” Fire quickly said. “But that something is quite pacific.” Lighting added while smiling. “Ok… so what is this something” Soarin said while rising an eyebrow. “Who was she?” “What did you two talk about?” “Do you like her?” “You have a crush on her right?” “Did you kiss after the dance?” “or did you get down to the business right away.” “WHAT?” Soarin yelled and the twins stopped the bombardment “What the hey are you talking about?” “We’re talking about her. you know the pretty pony that you danced with at the wedding.” Fire answered while smileing. “Don’t deny it we saw… actually every on saw” Lighting continued. “You mean Rainbow Dash?” Soarin asked “Oh a pretty name for a pretty pony. Right Brother.” “Oh yes. And to think that Soarin stole her from under our noses” “Well I guess we don’t always get mares that we want” “It’s the unfortunate truth but Soarin still what a chatch. did you get her number… or something more special from her.” Fire said while giving soarin a devilish smile. “oh come on you two it was just a dance. Nothing happened we just went on our ways after it” Soarin said but he couldn’t hide his red cheeks from the twins. “Are you sure you look like you are burning inside” “I’m sure about it Fire. Nothing happened” “Ok ok nothing happened between you to… but it doesn’t change the fact that you have a crush on her” “No I don’t” “Yes you do” “No I don’t” “Have I ever told you that you are a terrible liar.” “FINE YOU WIN I LIKE HER.” Soarin yelled on top of his lungs. and the three mares at the other side of the train cart looked at him and chuckled. “What was that about” Surprise ask. “Soarin has a crush on that Rainbow coloured pony he danced with at the wedding.” Lighting said while smiling. “Ha you of allponies have a crush on her. really…?” Fleetfoot asked while laughing. “So what if like her… Do you have a problem with that.” Soarin shot backed at Fleetfoot. “No I don’t have a problem with that… but still I never took you for a guy why was in to mares like her.” Fleetfoot said while trying to get serious. “It’s not that why I like her. She just makes me fell so… relaxed and warm inside... I have never felt like that around other ponies."Soarin said in a serious tone while his thoughts wondered away slowly. “Well if that is the case maybe you should go out with her.” Surprise said. “you know take her flying in the moon light… land on a cloud…tell her that you love her… and then kiss her…and snuggle her…and then turn her over and mount her from behi.” “Ok that enough of you fantasies Surprise.” Lighting cut surprise in the middle of her fantasy. “But if you like her you should totally take her out.” “Yeah if you like her take her out Soarin” Spitfire told him “Yeah maybe I should... but I don’t know where she lives or what if she has a coltfriend or what if she dosent like me.” Soarin said and started to panic. “Relax Soarin. Next time you meet her ask her out... and by the way I think she might like you too.” Fleetfoot said while giggling. “How would you know that?” Soarin ask her “Oh you weren’t the only ones on the dance floor you know.” The train stopped and an voice came out of the PA system. “LAST STOP. PONYVILLE.” “Ok get your bags and lets get to the hotel” Spitfire said as the six wonderbolts started walking out of the train cart and towards Ponyville’s hotel. “And that’s how I met Fancy pants at the royal wedding” “that’s a nice story Rarity. What about you Dash met anyone at the wedding” Applejack ask Rainbow dash while eating a cupcake. “What umm… I you know… eh...” Rainbow Dash tried to stay cool but just the mention of the royal wedding brought her memories about Soarin and the dance they sheared witch made her blush like hell. “Well Dash… we’re waiting for an answer.” Rarity pressured Rainbow dash “I don’t think I should talk about it in public... at least not here in the sugar cube corner.” “Oh come on Dash Who was he.” “What do you mean Rarity” “The handsome Pegasus wearing an air force uniform.” “Um… I don't know what your talking about.” “Yeah right sugar cube. She talking about the pony you danced with.” “what... you saw... how?” “you know you weren’t the only pair dancing Dash” “Fine... He’s name is Soarin you know the wonderbolt” As Rainbow said his name she turned even more red. “I think someone has a crush” Applejack teased Rainbow Dash. “So what if I do. you have a crush on Fire streak .” Dash shot back at AJ “WHAT NO IT’S NOT LIKE THAT! I JUST REALLY LIKE HIS STUNTS!” AJ yelled while she turner red “And besides who wouldn’t have a crush on Soarin.” Rainbow Dash said. “That’s true he is quite handsome and a perfect model Pegasus.” Rarity Said. “So you two got IT going after the dance. right.” “No it was just a dance.” Rainbow said to Rarity “Really not even a kiss?” Rarity asked. “No we just went on our ways after the dance.” Rainbow Dash said and looked bit depressed. “Well I think you should ask him out. You clearly like him.” Rarity said while smiling at Dash. “yeah but he probably has a marefriend.” Dash said in disappointment. “Then why was he alone at the wedding?” Rarity asked. “I dunno and maybe he has gotten one after the wedding.” Dash told her “The wedding was a week ago how the hell would he had gotten a marefriend in that time and secondly you weren’t the only one blushing during that dance.” Rarity explained to Dash. “WHAT! He was blushing too? How do you know that?" Rainbow ask with excitement. “I was dancing with Fancy pants right next to you guy. Didn’t you notice me?” Rarity asked. “I guess I was too focused on something else.” Dash blushed again “You Know if you like him that much ask him out. He will probably be at the show that they are having in a few days. So go up to him and ask him out.” Rarity told her. “Ok will try after the show” “Well in the meantime I think we should start our night.” “Ok let’s get going” AJ said and Dash nodded her head. as the three mares left sugar cube and started walking towards Vinyl’s club. > Chapter 3 Bad memories can hurt > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin The sun was about to set as the wonderbolts arrived at the hotel. It wasn’t a huge or grand like the hotels back in Chanterlot or Manehattan but it was cosy and it had a warm fell to it. The hotel was decorated like an old inn. The six wonderbolts came in and looked around right in front of them was a desk and behind it was a purple mare with a green mane. Left of the desk was a room that housed the hotel bar… but the bar looked like an old timey pub there was a fire place in the corner of the room and tables were here and there. “Hello my name is Hazel Dreams how can I help?” the purple earth pony mare said cheerfully. “I have a reservation here” Spitfire said while approaching the desk. “What is your name” Hazel Dreams asked “Spitfire” Hazel Dreams looked at the list of reservations and said “Yes two rooms both have three beds. Here are your keys and the breakfast is served at sunrise the hotel pub is open until midnight and if there are any problems please tell I’m here to help” “Thank you” Spitfire said and turned towards the other wonderbolts and said. “you herd her breakfast at sunrise and then report immediately to me at the stadion for morning practise. Understood?” “YES MA’AM!” “You got the rest of the evening for yourself… Just don’t cause trouble. I don’t want to repeat the Fillydelphia episode again…” Spitfire said while looking angrily at the streak twins who were clearly uncomfortable when Spitfire brought up Fillydelphia. “Well I’m off to have some dinner you girls wanna join me?” Fleetfoot asked surprise and Spitfire. “of course we’ll join you” Surprise said and the three mares went out of the door leaving Soarin with the key to one of the rooms. “Well let’s leave our stuff at the room and go out the club.” Lighting said while he grabbed the key from Soarin’s hooves and started walking towards the rooms. “Come on Soarin let’s get moving” Fire said while following his brother. They entered the room there was three beds and a window it wasn’t a big room but it was decorated just like the rest of the hotel which made it feel cosy and warm. There was a painting of Ponyville on the wall above the beds and the bathroom was located near the door which they came in. “Well this is a nice room we got” Fire said While he jumped on the bed that was next to the window and claimed it to himself “Yeah a lot better than last time we were here” Lightning said and jumped on the bed closest to the door and the bathroom leaving the middle bed to Soarin. “Yeah now you two just got to make sure that you don’t destroy this room like the one in Filly.” Soarin said while he started to take his wonderbolt flight suit off. “Hey that was an accident.” fire Tried to explain “Yeah sure it was. I still can’t understand how you two managed to tear down the whole room in one night.” Soarin said while laughing “Shut up and let’s get going. I don’t want to waste the whole night here.” Fire said and threw he’s flight suit to the bed. After that the three wonderbolts left the room and started walking towards the centre of Ponyville passing Sugar cube corner where Rainbow dash, Rarity and Applejack were ten minutes ago and walking towards a large modern looking white and blue building Music was blasting in the club the dance floor was full and the bartender was busy trying to serve everyone. Vinyl was on stage playing her latest tracks and everypony was enjoying their time there. Rainbow dash, Applejack and Rarity ware siting in a booth near the dance floor but it gave them some privacy so they could talk about their own things without any pony eavesdropping on them. Rarity was talking while sipping some martini between sentences. Applejack was listening to her talk while drinking on her cider. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was focused on something else her thoughts wondered away from her friends and to a certain light blue stallion and a dance they shared. Slowly she started to daydream about what life could have been if she would have said something to him after that dance. “Hey… Rainbow are you listening?” Rarity asked with a confused look on her face “What of course… I’m just a bit tired I guess.” Dash said to her friends. “I’m gonna go and get some more Orange juice. Be right back.” She left the table and started walking towards the bar until she heard a familiar voice. “Dashie how you been” “Go away Thunderlane” She said to the black Pegasus stallion. “Are you still mad at me?” “Am I mad at you? no I’m furious.” “Come on Dashie you can’t be mad at me forever.” “Don’t call me that” “Why are you still mad at me? Please tell me?” “Well… Firstly you played with my feelings. Secondly you never thought about me and how I felt. you only cared about yourself. And thirdly you cheated on me so please leave me alone and stop bothering me!” She said and slapped him across the face. “Oh that’s it. You’ll regret doing that you bitch.” Thunderlane said while looking at Dash like a mad man. Dash turned away and started Walking towards the bar. Thunderlane just watched as she started walking away. When she reached the bar she said to the bartender. “Orange juice please.” She hadn’t yet realised what Thunderlane said and what she did. But when she walked back to the table where AJ and Rarity ware she realised it and it hit her like a ton of bricks. She broke down sheading some tears quietly. Her friends noticed and turned their attention to her. “Oh darling what’s wrong?” Rarity asked Dash. But dash didn’t answer. “You know you can tell us.” Rarity asked again “Thunderlane.” Dash quietly answered while holding back tears. “What did he hurt you again Dash please tell us we are here for you.” “no… but he came up to me and ask am I still mad at him.” “You have all the right to be mad at him. He Cheated on you. He hurt you. It wasn’t your fault Dash.” Rarity tried to calm Dash down but then Rainbow Dash said. “But I slapped him and then he told me that I’m gonna regret that. I’m scared Rarity.” Dash gave in and started to cry a little louder. “Oh Dash he’s never gonna do anything to you ever again. Trust me he wouldn’t dare.” Rarity said while hugging Dash. Slowly Rainbow Dash relaxed and said. “Thanks Rarity I really needed that.” and smiled at her friend “Now that you feel better I think ya should look over there” AJ said while smiling and pointing towards the bar. Dash peaked around Rarity and saw three off duty woderbolts having a couple of drinks... > Chapter 4 Lesson on confidence > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin Soarin and the Streak twins were outside of Vinyl’s club and Soarin opened the door. As he did that a black Pegasus stallion ran into him. “Watch it jackass!” the dark stallion said to Soarin while angrily glaring at him. “I’m sorry… no need to get angry at me dude.” “whatever” He said and walked off. “Some ponies have no respect.” Fire said while looking at the dark pony who was walking away from them “Yeah I guess he got some problems of he’s own.” Lighting added to he’s brother “Well come on let’s get in before the clock hits midnight.” Soarin said while walking in. Three of the headed towards the bar and sat down at the end of it so the twins could see the dance floor and the tables around it. “See anything interesting brother.” “that would be negative brother.” “You two looking for mares already? You aren’t even drunk yet.” Soarin said while smiling at the two of them. “Yes that’s a good point dear Soarin… THREE TROTKA SHOTS!” Fire yelled at the bartender. “Here you go” He said while pouring them their shots. “Fire didn’t you listen when I said that no drinking tonight?” Soarin said. “I did hear you but we’re doing this. Come on Soarin relax it’s only a small shot.” “Fine… but don’t get too drunk we have practice in the moarning.” “Yes father” Fire mockingly said as he and Lighting downed their drinks. “Bottoms up Commander Soarin” Lightning said as Soarin joined them and downed he’s drink. “ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh” Rainbow went into her fan girl mode. “Well looks like they came here for some drinks before hitting the sheets” Rarity said while looking over at them. “Ohmygosh it’s the Streak twins and… and Soarin!” Rainbow all the sudden turned red and started panicing. “This is your chance Dash.” “I Can’t ask him here Rarity” “Why not go up to him” “What should I say?” Soarin put the small glass down and looked at the Streaks. “Seven a clock three bogeys.” Lightning said while smiling. “Target spotted” Fire answered. “What are you talking about?” Soarin asked confused. “See that booth over there” Fire said while pointing at the booth were AJ, Rarity and most importantly Dash were sitting and talking. “Oh god that's Dash.” Soarin said and blushed. “This is your chance Soarin… Strike when the iron is hot.” Fire said trying give Soarin so confidence. “I don’t know what to do. Should I go and talk to her or do something else?” “Just watch Lighting.” Fire said and turned to Lightning. “I want the cute farmer.” “So your leaving me with the most beautiful unicorn in here… oh what a tragedy.” Lightning said mockingly and started walking towards the three mares with a look of confidence in his face. “Oh look Dash it’s gonna be fine just go and talk to him” Rarity tried assuring Dash. “Um… girls you might wanna look” AJ said while looking at the approaching wonderbolt. “Well I must say that you three really make it hard to focus on my wingmates over there.” Lightning said while smiling. “Oh I hope that’s not an issue Mister…” “Lightning Streak and your name is miss…” “Rarity” “I must say that your name is almost as beautiful as you are” With that line Lightning went from being a little flirty to being outrageously flirty but Rarity didn’t look to care. “Oh Lightning you make me blush.” Rarity said to him while blinking her eyes. “Well I don’t know about you but I really fell like dancing… Do you?” “Oh well when a handsome stallion like you are asking of course.” Rarity said to him and grabbed his hooves. but before they left for the dance floor she turned to dash and whispered to her “That’s how you do it” and off they went smiling to each other and blushing more or less. “Well looks like she got what se wanted.” Applejack Said while looking at the two dancing at the dance floor. “Yeah…” Rainbow Dash answer to her friend who was siting on the other side of the table. “How did he do it?” Soarin asked Fire. “Confidence. Soarin it’s now your turn. Go get her.” Fire said while trying to push Soarin towards the table. “No please Fire I don’t know what to say or do. Don’t make me do this please.” “Sorry Soarin but you getting the mare of your dreams today” “Fire please” Soarin started to panic and tried to push back his way back to the bar but resitance was futile. “Oh no your not getting away I need you and you need me.” Fire said to Soarin as he continued to push him towards the booth. “What do you mean Fire?” “You are getting your Rainbow Girl and I’m getting my Cowgirl” “So your gonna help me?” “Yeah of course just leave the talking to me and when I leave with her you need to score the rainbow.” “And how am I supposed to do that?” “Just be confident and say what you fell. Remember confidence is key.” “Ok if you say so.” Soarin agreed to Fires plan and two of the walked the rest of the way. “So... why don’t we just leave AJ?” “Because you haven’t yet talked to him” “But I said I’m gonna talk to him after the show.” “Sorry Dash but you ain’t running now… especially when the the stallion of your dreams is walking towards you” “WHAT!” Dash turned around and saw Soarin and Fire streak approach them. “Hello ladies my name is fire streak and I think that you have already met my brother Lightning Streak.” Fire sadi with confidence and turned to Applejack. “Yeah your bro is there with Rarity.” Applejack answered blushing a bit. “Anyways this here is First commander Soarin” Fire said and kicked Soarin’s back leg “Hi” Soarin said while blushing and smiling. “So… mind telling us why are you here?” Applejack asked and faced Fire. “Well the idea was originally to go over some flight patterns and weather maps but I guess I got lost in your eyes while doing that.” Fire flirted to AJ with a confident smile and he’s face. Applejack turned red and said. “Oh don’t be like that partner. I ain’t anything special just a small town farmer.” “Yeah... you aren't special to most ponies but to me you are the most beautiful thing in the world” After saying that Fire lost some of his cool and his cheeks turned red. At the same time Soarin and Rainbow dash were looking at them. “So you wanna go dance fly boy?” Applejack asked. “With you of course.” And two of them left leaving Soarin and Dash into an awkward silence. “Ok Soarin just remember what fire said confidence is key.” “Ok Dash just remember what Rarity told you Tell him what you feel” They both thought in their minds until Soarin ended the silence by saying. “So… How have you been Dash” “I’m good… how about you?” “I’m fine... you know... been practicing for the show.” “Yeah... I have heard you got some new tricks planned” “Yeah Spitfire have been this show for months now.” After that brief conversation the silence fell upon two of them again. Both of the could see the other blushing but neither of them knew what to say or do until Dash said “So it’s kinda late I should get going” “Oh… ok” “Dammit why can’t I just say it.” Dash thought to herself while walking away from the booth and Soarin “God dammit Soarin you did it again. the mare of your dreams is walking away and what are you doing… NOTHING.” Soarin thought to himself. “No... not to again” He said quietly “I’m not gonna let her walk away without knowing how I feel.” He said a little louder and started walking towards the door Dash just left. once he opened the door he could see her flying high away from him. He opened his wings and zoomed towards her yelling “RAINBOW DASH WAIT!” > Chapter 5 Love on both sides > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin ”RAINBOW DASH! WAIT!” She heard a yell behind her. “What is it Soarin?” Turned around to see Soarin fly up to her. “Dash before you leave there is something that I need to tell you.” Soarin said while he grabbed her hooves which made her blush. Two of the stared each other for a moment. “She looks so good in the moon light” Soarin thought to himself and opened his mouth to say. “I really like you Dash… I like you more than anything else in equestrian.” “Soarin… I… I don’t know what to say.” “It’s ok if you don’t like me but I just wanted you to know that I like you.” Soarin said and prepared to fly away “Soarin!” Dash said and grabbed Soarin’s arm and turned him around to see his emerald eyes. “Ever since we shared that dance I have thought about you.” She said while looking at his eyes. “Dash… You’ve made me feel so good when we danced at the wedding… you make me feel so good you wouldn’t belive” “Oh I know... you make me feel that way to.”Two of the hugged each other as they hovered in the moon light. Neither of them said anything so that the moment would last but Dash after several minutes broke the silence and said. “Soarin?” “Yes?” “Would you like to… you know come over my house for some late night dinner?” “Of course.” “Great. follow me.” Two of them started to fly out of ponyville and towards sweet apple acres. after a short flight they stopped near a huge mansion like house. “Is this were you live?” “Yeah… Know it’s an awesome house... but I bet yours is like at least 20% cooler.” “You wish… wonderbolts get paid well but not good enoght to get houses like this… how on luna’s moon did you get the bits for this mansion?” “You know land is kinda cheap here in ponyville and cloud hoses aren’t that expensive.” She said while waving her hoof. “Well you wanna get in or hover outside the rest of the night?” She asked and landed near the door. “I guess i should get in” Soarin said and followed her in. When they walked in Soarin could see a Stairway to the second floor right in front of him and on the left of him was a hall way and on right of him was the living room and the kitchen beyond that. The he walls were full of paintings of old wonderbolts and royal equestrian air force aces. In the living room there was two couches and a small coffee table between them. also in the living room there were three book shelfs. Soarin walked towards one of the book shelfs and looked at the books in it. It was full of daring do books and other kinds of adventure books. Dash was just standing behind Soarin as he looked at the books. “I know… it’s an impressive collection of daring doo books.” “I have never seen so many daring doo books in my life… have you even read all of them.” “Multiple times.” Dash answered cheerfully and walked next to Soarin. “Are you fan of Daring do?” “I have read couple of doo books… but I’m more in to Ion Flame’s PON-7 spy book series.” “I’ve heard of them... but never actually red them… maybe I should look in to those books too” “Trust me Dash you will love them.” Soarin said and walked to the next book shelf. “You know I have heard a lot of things about you but an avid reader was never one of them.” “Yeah not too many people know about my reading habits.” She said while blushing a bit Soarin looked at the second book shelf it was mostly full of photo albums and some random map books. after that he walked toward the last book shelf but Dash grabbed his tail and quickly said. “Hey you wanna grab some drinks.” “Yeah sure… you don’t have to yank my tail off when you ask questions.” “sorry… anyway follow me.” Dash said and turned Soarin around. “What do you want?” “I’ll take just something non-alcoholic… Fire alredy forced me to drink a little for this eveing.” Soarin said while smiling. “Ok sit here and wait.” And Dash flew to the kitchen thinking to herself. “That was close… I can’t believe that I forgot that the picture of us dancing at the wedding was there… I can’t let him see it it would be so embarrassing.” She poured some apple juice to two glasses and walked back to the living room but she didn’t see Soarin on the couch She left him at. She quickly looked at the book shelf which housed the photo of them... but to her horror it was in Soarin's arms “You know this was one of the best days of my life.” Soarin said and gave the photo of the to Dash. “Yeah… it was great.” Dash said and put down the glasses and blushed. “You know that I too have this picture... on my nightstand.” Soarin said and blushed. “Yeah I got one extra there too.” Dash said and hugged Soarin. Neither of them didn’t say a word during that hug but when Soarin pulled away a little so he could see her magenta coloured eyes he broke the silence by saying “I love you.” And pulled her into a tight hug once again. “I love you too” Dash said and hugged him just as tight. Sometime past and Dash pulled away from the hug and looked at his emerald eyes and said. “You know Soarin I’m really not into this romantic stuff but I’m gonna make an exception on you” Before Soarin could say anything back Dash gave him a kiss. He didn’t fight it and let Dash take the lead on it. It felt like time had stopped and only thing Soarin could focus was the mare of his dreams who he was kissing with passion. Dash kept pushing her lips onto Soarin until Soarin fell backwards to the floor but two of them didn’t break the kiss. Dash felt like someone was watching them make out but didn't care because the only thing they were thinking was each other and the kiss which just went on as the rolled on the floor. Unknown to them some on was watching them thought the living room window but the two lovers didn't see him. Soon Dash broke off the kiss catching her breath from underneath Soarin. “Something wrong Dashie?” Soarin asked her. “No… but I don’t like the cold floor so… why don’t we continue this in my room?” She said and gave Soarin a seductive smile. “If you feel like it.” Soarin said and rose up to let Dash get away from beneath him. “Follow me.” Dash said and brushed Soarin with her tail and walked towards the stairs. Two of them quickly walked up to the second floor and went to a huge bedroom. Dash jumped on to the bed and lied down and gave Soarin a good view of her behind and said seductively. “Well… are you gonna just admire the view or actually do something… I mean I know that I’m awesome but still we came here for a reason you know.” “YES MA’AM!” Soarin saluted and gave Dash an seductive smile and closed the door behind him. > Chapter 6 A lovely morning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin Soarin opened his eyes and saw Celestia’s sun hit the wall in front of the bed. He looked down and saw a cyan coloured pony snuggled up against his chest. He just looked at the beautiful mare as the sun hit her mane. Soarin didn’t want to wake her up so he just laid there and hugged her slightly. “Good morning handsome” Dash said and hugged the stallion who she was snuggled against and continued. “How was your night.” “It’s was awesome” Soarin answered to her hugging her harder and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “I heard that you guys have a practice session at the stadium at sunrise… you should probably go... your already late. Spifire is gonna tear you a new one.” She finished and started to get out of bed. But Soarin quickly grabbed her and pelled her back to his chest. “Screw and the practice. I can do the routine blind and beside… I’ve got everything I could ever need right here.” He said while looking at Dash and hugged her tight. “Five minutes… then I have to go to work.” She said to him “That’s good enough for me.” and the two locked their lips and started kissing each other with passion. They rolled in the bed kissing and hugging each other until they went over the edge and fell on to the floor. Soarin landed on top of Dash and looked into her eyes and said. “I guess I should let you go to work now.” “When your practice session end?” She asked as Soarin let her stand up. “It would end at four in the afternoon but I guess Spitfire I going to give me some extra work because i'm late so I would say five.” Soarin said and gave Dash another kiss. “Well… if it’s ok with you five a clock at here and then we can do something.” Dash suggested to him “Ok here at five.” Soarin smiled back and two of them left the room and walked downstairs and left the house. Dash went to the weather team’s HQ and Soarin to the Stadium. Soarin approached the stadium and saw Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Surprise flexing on the field. “First commander Soarin Reporting to duty.” He saluted Spitfire and landed next to her. “First commander Soarin Reporting to duty 90 minutes late” She said and looked angrily at Soarin. “Sorry Ma’am.” Soarin said and looked at the ground. “It’s ok Soarin… so I guess there is a reason why you are late for practice… you know since your usually here before me.” Spitfire asked while smiling. “Yeah… I spent the night over at Dash’s house.” Soarin said and blushed “Oh looked at that our little soldier boy grew some balls and asked her out.” Fleetfoot said mockingly. “Well did you get some PIE for your troubles.” Surprise Asked while giggling. “I guess you could say that” Soarin said bit embarrassed. “Well that’s nice… but do you know where the twins are.” Spitfire asked Soarin. “I dunno they left before me and Dash left the club. both of them took one of Dash’s friends with them.” “So they are somewhere sleeping with a hangover and a mare in their arms.” “Not any more Ma'am” Lighting said while he landed near them with Fire following shortly. “So… Soarin did you do what I told yah and made the final move and scored.” Fire asked Soarin while smiling. “Yeah” “Oh that’s great… so you got laid right?” He asked again to make sure that Soarin had actually done what he told him. “Yes Fire… I did.” Soarin answered. “Fantastic... maybe you don’t have such a huge stick up your ass after all… but I bet that Rainbow mare did have one up her ass at one point in the night... if you know what i mean.” Fire said while bouncing his eyebrows. “Ok that’s enough about Soarin's sex life... where were you two.” Spitfire asked from the twins “Well... we were just having some fun” Lighting answered quickly. “Another one nightstand for you guys… nice” Spitfire said while rolling her eyes. “Not exactly” The twins said in unison. “What… did I hear correctly… the notorious Streak twins found some mare who they didn’t just dump after one night.” Spitfire wondered. “I’m not sure but… I really like her... she is simple, honest and most importantly cute… I really like her and... I might have a date with her tonight.” Fire said while blushing. “Yeah… the mare I got is so fancy, generous and most importantly beautiful… I really like her and... I too have a date tonight with her” Lighting said and blushed too. Soarin, Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Surprise couldn’t believe what they just heard. The Streak twins… two of the biggest "players" in the wonderbolts found both mares that they didn’t want to dump… mares that they wanted to date… “So let me get this right… you both have a marefriend now?” Fleetfoot said while trying to get things straight. “Yes.” Both brothers said in unison again. “Girls… we gotta step up our game…” Fleet said while she let her jaw drop. “Well... let me guess only reason you three diceded to show up here is so you could get some VIP tickets to the show?” Spitfire asked while rising an eyebrow. “Yes” All three of the stallions said in unison. “Fine… I’ll get you guys some tickets but now we got a practice session to do. and we are already almost two hours behind schedule so let’s get to it so we can leave somewhat on time.” Spitfire said and the six wonderbolts started their practice session. “Ok team today’s schedule is this... we’re going to clean the sky of clouds in the sectors five trough nine and start the rain in sectors one though three. As you know Applejack has requested that we get some rain clouds over the apple orchard that’s why we’re having this unscheduled rain in sectors one though three.” Dash said to the twenty weather ponies that were in the HQ. “I want teams two, three and four to clean the sky in the designated sectors I’m taking the team one with me to move those rain clouds to sweet apple acres. Understood?” Dash finished and looked at the ponies who all started to go on about their work. “Ok team one... come here.” Dash said and three ponies walked over to her. “Cloudchaser and Warm front I want you to get the clouds while me and Cloud kicker clean the skies over sweet apple acres so you can just drop the clouds off there.” Three of the nodded to Dash and Cloud Kicker asked. “what about the shipment of clouds that the wonderbolts are gonna use in their show it came here this morning?” “We’ll set it up tomorrow... so I want three of you to get the shipment from here and meet me at the stadion so we can get the track ready in time for the show.” Dash answered to her question. “Anything else? Good let’s get moving I’ve got two important things after work to do so let’s get to it.” She said and lead her team off. > Chapter 7 Not every one is born with luck > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin “Ok guys good job. we’re done here” Dash said to her team and they flew off. She had set up the date with Soarin for five in the afternoon but before that there was a certain little filly she had to meet. Dash flew toward the Ponyville’s school and looked at the clock that was on the wall of the school. “3.30 pm I’ve got plenty of time to spend with her before the date” She said to herself before she landed on the school yard and saw a orange little filly run toward her. “Dash you remembered.” The little filly said as she hugged Dash. “I wouldn’t be a much of a legal guardian if I would forget you here.” Dash said and hugged the little filly back. “so scootaloo did you have fun with Apple bloom and sweetie belle at the sleepover?” “Yeah Granny smith and Big mack are awesome we backed pies and took care of the animals... Do you know why Applejack didn’t come back to the farm until morning?” Scootaloo asked Dash. “Well… maybe you should ask her.” Dash tried to dodge the question about what happened last evening when the three big sisters went to have their night you and left the cutie mark crusaders to the Sweet apple acres for a sleepover so they could have their girls night too. “We asked but she just turned red and said that she had to do some work and left to buck some apples.” Scootaloo said. “Oh… um… well anyway we should get home and grab something to eat” Dash said and picked up Scootaloo to her back and flew back to her house. Dash opened the door and two of them walked in and walked through the living room but Scootaloo stopped near the third book shelf and looked at the ground. “Dash why is there two glasses of apple juice on the floor?” Scootaloo asked and picked up the two glasses that Dash left there during last night. Dash turned red and said. “For no reason at all… now let’s get you something to eat. She took the glasses and flew into the kitchen and looked at the clock just as it hit 4.00 pm. She opened the fridge and picked a half-eaten pie and put it on the kitchen table and said. “eat up Scoots.” “Aren’t you gonna eat at all Dash.” “No I’ll eat later.” She said referring to her date with Soarin but before Scootaloo started eating the doorbell rang. “Don’t worry sis I got it.” Scootaloo said and ran through the living room and stopped near the door. Dash looked at the clock again and saw that it was still 4.00 so she thought that it was probably Fluttershy at the door or maybe someone from the weather team since Soarin said that the practice would take an extra hour since he was late. Dash just went back to the kitchen and started doing some salad for herself so that she would have something to eat at work tomorrow. Scootaloo opened the and looked at a blue stallion and said. “Who are you and what are you doing here.” “Well my name is Soarin and I’m here to meet miss Rainbow Dash.” Soarin said politely while looking at the little filly. “Soarin from the wonderbolts?” Scootaloo asked as her eyes became huge. “Yes and your name is…” “Scootaloo… but my big sister is a huge fan of yours she got all the posters and other merchandise and… why are you here again?” She stopped her fan mode and asked again. “like already said I’m here to meet miss Rainbow Dash” Soarin said while smiling at the little filly. “Dash... Soarin is here and he wants to meet you! I think you finally made it into the wonderbolts!” Scootaloo yelled from the top of her lungs which made Dash drop her salad which she just made. “What already?” She said and quickly flew to the door. “Hi I thought you said you would be here at five.” Dash said and gave Soarin a small hug not even realising that Scootaloo was right next to them. “Yeah Spitfire let me off easy this time.” “Well that’s awfully nice of her even thou you were late because of me.” “I guess she was in extra good mood because she also gave me these.” Soarin said and gave Dash two VIP tickets to the show that was going to be tomorrow. “Oh my Celestia... Soarin you got these for me?” Dash asked and looked at the tickets “Yeah I even got you one extra thinking that you would have some friend to take with you… but I think that this ticket is gonna go to her.” Soarin said while smiling and looking at Scootaloo who was trying to understand what just happened. “So you two know each other somehow” Scootaloo said. “Yeah…” Dash said and blushed. “And he is also the reason your gonna eat later?” Scoot asked her again. “Yeah… I think that you should finish your pie Scoots.” Dash said to Scootaloo and Scootaloo nodded realising that Dash wanted to talk alone with Soarin. “So… Scootaloo is her name” Soarin started. “Yeah… she is my kinda little sister.” “A kinda litle sister?” “I kinda adopted her… but she treats me as her big sister.” “That really nice of you to take her in. was she into orphanage or in the street” “When she was a foal her mother left her at the orphanage but I adopted her couple of months ago. Why are you so interested?” Dash asked and watched as Soarin’s face turned serious. “I was dumped by my parents in manehattan when I was about her aged. I lived in the street for couple of years before the social service took me in and sent me to the manehattan orphanage where I met the Streak twins. And in the orphanage three of us became best friend and we made a promise to each other to become the greatest stunt flyers in all of equestria and when three of us joined the wonderbolts we knew that we made it.” Soarin told Rainbow Dash. “I never knew that you were left to the street by you own parents... that’s… heart breaking… did you ever met your parents again?” “No… they weren’t good parents… they fought all the time and… most of the time I got caught in the crossfire.” Soarin said and Showed Dash his left arm. “These are pretty much all I have left of them.” he said while showing long scars in his arm. nopony usually saw them because the were hard to see from the front and the side and when he was flying the flight suit covered them always. “Soarin… why didn’t you tell me this earlier.” “I usually don’t talk about this stuff to anyone. only the twins know fully what happened to me before I was sent to the orphanage. Their parents left them there right after they were born. three of us weren’t born with luck like the rest of the wonderbolts we had to make our own luck from the beginning.” Soarin said and looked into the eyes of The mere he loved. “Both of us know why you aren’t a wonderbolt yet and why me and the twins had to work so hard to get there.” “Connections” Dash said and looked at the ground. “It sure is easy to succeed it the ‘bolts when your dad is the ex-capitain or your brother works in the administrative wing of the wonderbolts.” “How did the three of you get in then?” Dash asked Soarin. “Never give up. If your good enough and cause enough waves with your flying they can’t keep ignoring you forever. Twins go the job because they are the best synchronized flyers in the history of equestria and I got in because of skills with lightings.” Soarin said and said with confidence. “We worked harder that anyone else and got there in the end. now we fly in squad one and I’m the second in command… it wasn’t easy but after years of flying harder than anypony elese we made.” Soarin finished “So… your parents do they know what happened to you?” Dash asked. “I dunno only relative who has contacted me after all these years was my brother who is flying in the royal equestrian air force but he dosn’t know about our parent either he was a also abandoned when he was a foal. I didn’t even know about him before I joined the ‘bolts. Luckily i found out about him when they did the background check when i applied for the 'bolts” Soarin finished his story dropping down a small tear. “Oh Soarin...” Dash said and hugged him. Two of the kept hugging each other until Dash said. “So do you wanna come in. I’m gonna have to make sure Scoots is ok before we leave.” “Yeah sure.” Soarin answered and walked behind her into the house. > Chapter 8 Sisters and brothers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin “Hey could you look after Scoots for a minute… I got to do something before we leave.” Dash asked Soarin. “Sure thing Dashie.” Soarin said with a smile. “Thanks… she is eating in the kitchen.” Dash said and went upstairs. Soarin walked to the kitchen and saw Scootaloo eating a slice of pie on the kitchen table. She looked up to Soarin as he sat down to the table opposite of her.“So Dash is you sister?” Soarin started. “Yeah she is my big sister… do you have a sister?” Scootaloo asked Soarin and finished her pie. “No… but I have a big brother” He answered to Scootaloo. “Is he a wondebolt too?” “No he is flying for the Royal equestrian air force.” Soarin explained “Cool I guess… where does he live?” “He actually lives here in ponyville… but he actually got deployed to the EQS Dawnbreaker yesterday.” “Did you met him before he got deployed?” “No I was too busy having se… I mean… no… i was too busy with work…” Soarin said as he dodged the bullet... or actually it wasn’t a bullet it was more like a nuclear warhead he just avoided. “So I guess that work was pretty important since you couldn’t meet him.” Scootaloo said. “He understands… after all both of us are working for the air force and we know that somethimes work goes before family.” Soarin lied about the work but he knew that his brother wasn’t gonna be upset about him not seeing him before the deployment… after all he got a very VERY good reason for not being able to see him. “So you two are really close… or not.” Scootaloo asked again. “Yeah we’re close… we are the only family we got… when I was born our parents left him in an orphanage and when I was about your age they dumped me too.” Soarin said to Scootaloo. “I know how you feel… my mom dumped me to the orphanage when I was three.” Scootaloo symphatized with Soarin. “Hey Soar I’m ready to go.” Dash said and walked into the room. “What did I interrupt something?” “Yeah you just ruined our bonding moment.” Scootaloo said and walked next to Dash. “Where are you two going.” “I dunno?” Dash said and looked up to Soarin. “I got something planned.” Soarin said while smiling. “Well we better get going… Scoots we are gonna be away for a couple of hours so... Don’t do anything stupid ok.” Dash said and hugged Scootaloo. “Don’t worry I’m gonna be fine. you two have fun.” Scootaloo said and left for her own room. “So shall we?” Soarin asked and started walking to the door. “Yes... we shall.” Dash said and gave a small kiss to him. > Chapter 9 Medals and trophies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin Two of them left the house and Dash asked Soarin. “What are we gonna do now?” “Just follow me.” Soarin said and they started flying away from Dash’s house. They flew over Sweet apple acres and they could see Fire streak and Applejack lying under an apple tree hugging each other and sleeping. Soarin and Dash just looked at them as they flew over the tree and continued away from the farm. “So… where are you taking me?” “I’m taking you to my favourite place in the world.” Soarin said and pointed at a huge mountain range that was in front of them. Mountains were huge they pierced the clouds and Dash could see several rainbow coloured waterfalls and a small town. “Rainbow falls?” “Yeah… this is where I live.” “I always taught that you lived in Cloudsdale with the other wonderbolts.” “I do but this is where I come when I’m not working.” Soarin as they landed near the small village. “This is a quiet village… The are no paparazzis or fanfillys here to annoy me. All the villagers know why I come here and they understand to respect my privacy. this is a perfect place to just run away from the high-life of Cloudsdale.” Soarin told Dash while looking at a house near a cliff. “Follow me Dashie.” Soarin said and walked towards the house. It wasn’t huge or grand but it looked cosy. it was next to one of the rainbowfalls and from the porch of the house you could see not only Ponyville but also to Cloudsdale and Chanterlot of course Chanterlot was located on a side of a mountain and Cloudsdale being a floating city they weren’t hard to spot in the horizon far away. Soarin and Dash got to the door of the house and Soarin opened the door. Dash took a look inside and saw that the house was decorated like an old hunting cabin. There were all kinda prices from flight competitions on the shelves and on the wall there were military medals and honour certificates from different conflicts and from different generals and captains. There were even two certificates that had the stamp of the royal sisters on them. Dash always thought that she had a lot of prices… but Soarin had like three or four times more and most of them were given to him by high ranking military leaders. Dash’s best price was the number one place in the young flyers competition but it was nothing when compared to some of these honours that Soarin had accomplished. Soarin walked to the couch and laid down and put his arms behind his head. “Well Dashie… are you gonna come in? or just stay in the door way for the rest of the night?” “I have never seen anything like this…” Dash was amazed by the trophies and other medals and honour certificates. as she walked in Soarin said. “Not all of these are mine. all those trophies and medals on that wall are mine.” Soarin said and pointed at the wall next to Dash. There were still like two time as many trophies and medals from flight competitions than Dash had. “All of those military medals and honour certificates are my big brothers. He flies because it is his duty and that’s why he has all those military honours… I fly because flying is the second best thing in the world and I enjoy it… that’s why I’ve got all those prices from competitions.” Soarin said as he walked next to Dash. “So you brother is as different kinda flyer?” Dash asked. “He doesn’t like to show his skills… But he is just as good of a flyer as me but I joined the wonderbolts and he joined the REAF (royal equestrian air force). Both of us practice flying as our job but we do it in different sections of the military and for different reasons and get our “trophies” from different people” Soarin said and opened a door next to the wall that housed all his brother’s medals and honours. Soarin walked into the room and Dash walked behind him. The room had one bed, writing table, book shelf and a closet that was full of military uniforms. There were two flags and a shield on the walls. The first flag was the Equestrian flag and the second was a flag that had a picture of a Pegasus that had a military flight gear on and there were text around this pony that red “1st naval aviation squad. carrier EQS Dawnbreaker.” and then the shield that was above the bed. it had a picture of a lightning bolt on it and on the both sides of the lightning there were swords. “This is his room… he is the capitan of the 1st naval aviation squad called wardog… he is proud of his job.” Soarin said and walked out of the room and opened the door next to the wall that housed his trophies. Dash followed him in again and saw a room that was decorated almost identically but the closet was full of wonderbolt uniforms and on the wall next to the Equestrian flag was the flag of the wondebolts and on it was the text “1st Areal demonstration squad. Cloudsdale’s best.” and above the bed was a shield that had Soarin’s cutie mark on it. “And as you know I’m second in command of the 1st Areal demonstration squad called the wonderbolts... both of us love flying he does it because he wants to protect the one thing he love and that is Equestria. I fly because I want to inspire others. We are similar in many ways but one thing that separates us is the reason why we fly for the air force.” “So why didn’t you join his squad or why didn’t he join the wonderbolts.” Dash asked. “I see that the biggest honour in life is to inspire others. He sees that the biggest honour is to protect what you love with your life… both of us know that we can’t serve in the same squad because of that reason… But since we are the only family that we got we have to respect each other choices.” Soarin said and looked Dash straight into her eyes. “Why did you want to show this to me?” Dash asked and hugged Soarin. “I want you to meet him… since I don’t have a dad… ever since that day when we discovered that we were brothers he has taken care of me in so many ways… even thou our work takes the most of the time we always find a way to spend time together. And if you are gonna be with me I want him to approve you. So that you could be a part of our little family.” “Why wouldn’t he approve me?” Dash asked and gave Soarin a kiss. “I was supposed to meet him yesterday… but I was in your bed the whole night… not the best first impression. but I think he would understand… he is really nice but sometimes he can be a bit overprotective of his little brother.” Soarin said to Dash and returned the kiss. “I’m sure it will work out.” Dash said and hugged Soarin even tighter. “So when I’m gonna meet him?” “He just got deployed to the Dawnbreaker which is stationed it he north-sea at the moment… I already pulled some string so he could have a short holiday in a couple of days... so I would say some day next week.” “Ok that’s good to know.” Dash said and walked out of the house to the porch of the house. Soarin followed her and the sat next to each other looking at the horizon as the sun begun to set. “It’s a pretty decent view… right?” Soarin asked “Yeah… it’s beautiful… Soarin you said that “Flying is the second best thing in the world” what is the best thing it the world?” Dash asked as two of them stopped looking at the sun set and turned to face each other. “You are.” Soarin said and gave Dash a long kiss. the kiss that they shared wasn’t filled with lust and passion like last night but it was tender and loving. Soarin pulled away looking at Dash’s magenta eyes that sparkled in the sunset and said. “We should probably get back to Scoots before she thinks that I kidnapped you.” Soarin said while smiling. “Yeah… let’s grab some pizza’s on the way to take home.” Dash said and gave Soarin a small kiss on the cheek. Two of them flew back towards ponyville while the sun was setting and the moon was rising colouring the horizon in different shades of purple and orange. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets either of them had ever seen and they were flying in to it while holding each others hooves. > Chapter 10 Happy endings aren't real > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLP: FiM Rainbows and music By: flat spin “Scoots! we’re home” Dash yelled and the little filly ran to hug her. “Where were you.” Scootaloo asked and let go of Dash “We’re visiting Soarin’s and his brother’s holiday home… and also we got some pizzas.” “Cool!” Scootaloo said and walked to the kitchen. Soarin and Dash both followed her and three of them stated eating their food. “I think it’s time for you to hit the sheets Scoots.” Dash said “no… I wanna hang out with you guys…” Scootaloo said and looked at the two grownups. “You are gonna be hanging out with us tomorrow after the show. so it best you go to bed now. so you don’t sleep during the air show.” Soarin said and stood up. “Fine… Good night to two of you.” Scootaloo said and hugged first Dash and then Soarin which caught him by surprise. Soon scootaloo left the kitchen and went up to her room. “I see you are good with kids.” Dash said and gave Soarin a small hug. “Yeah… I guess but you know what... now that we’re alone.” Soarin said and pulled Dash in for a passionate kiss but Dash soon broke it and said. “We can’t rut tonight… Scootaloo could catch us and you need to rest for the show.” Dash said and started walking towards the stairs. “I guess you right… but that doesn’t stop me from cuddling you for the rest of the night.” Soarin said and followed her to her bed room. Both of the jumped on to the bed and started kissing and cuddling. Dash rolled on top of Soarin and looked at his emerald eyes. Soarin looked Dash and said. “I love you.” “I love you too.” and they continued hugging each other until they could hear a yell. “Could you two stop rutting each other I’m trying to sleep!” Scootaloo yelled from the room next to Dash’s bed room. “Sorry.” Soarin and Dash both said and blushed knowing that Scootaloo had figured out what they did last night and what was their relationship. Two of them started sleeping. Dash on top of Soarin’s chest. “Dash opened her eyes and saw sun hitting Soarins face. “Good morning beautiful” Soarin said while looking at Dash. “How long have you been awake?” “Couple of minutes… you know that your eyes are the most beautiful things in the world.” Soarin said and wrapped his arms around Dash. “Yours aren’t bad looking either.” Dash said while smiling and gave Soarin a kiss. “I need to get going… I have to set up the clouds that you guys will use in the show. Could you look after scootaloo until the show starts?” dash asked and got up from the bed. “Sure thing. we don’t have practice today but we do have a team meeting… I hope she doesn’t get bored.” “Are you serious I’m gonna be part of an official wonderbolt team meeting… This is gonna be awesome!” Scootaloo said as she stood in the door way. “How long have you been there and what have I told you about evesdropping.” Dash said and looked at the filly. “Sorry… I just got up.” “it’s ok Scoots. I have to go now so you two have a fun day I’ll be picking you up from Soarin after I’m done with the clouds.” Dash said and hugged Scootaloo and gave Soarin another kiss and left for work. “So… the meeting is in a couple of hours so I think we should grab something to eat from that bakery in downtown and then go and meet the others… does that sound good?” Soarin asked as he got up from the bed. “Yeah of course.” Scootaloo said and two of the left for Sugar cube corner. “Ok guys put the regular clouds around the field near the ground so that the ‘bolts can get the easily when they need them for their stunts.” Dash said at her team. “What about that nasty thunder cloud.” Cloud kicker said and pointed at a large dark cloud that was giving out a few sparks here and there. “Put it low to the ground in the middle of the field… That’s their grand finale.” Dash said and the weather team got to work moving the clouds to in to an circular shape around the field near the ground. “Hi guys” Soarin said cheerfully as he walked it to a tent a conference room in the stadium. “Good day Soarin I see that you brought a visitor. you know I always thought that it took at least nine months to give birth to a foal not nine hours.” Spitfire said as Soarin and Scootaloo walked in. “Ha ha very funny Spits… this is Scootaloo Dash’s kinda-little-sister.” Soarin said while rolling his eyes. “And what’s that supposed to mean.” Fleetfoot said as she walked into the room. “Long story.” Scootaloo said. “So kid… are you gonna be a wonderbolt when you grow up?” Spitfire asked. “I would like to be... but I’m not a strong flyer… my wings are weak. I can’t really fly too well.” Scootaloo said and looked at the ground. “That’s ok your wings will grow up at some point.” Surprise said as she walked up to Scoots. “Have you guys seen the twins they are late again?” Spifire asked fron the others. “I saw fire with his marefriend last evening sleeping under a tree but after that no.” Soarin said “aww that’s so sweet.” Fleetfoot said whit pushing her cheeks together. “Shut up Fleet.” Fire said as he walked in. “So the date went well I assume.” Spitfire said. “Yeah…” Fire said and blushed and just at that moment Lighting walked in. “And where were you?” Spitfire sifted her focus to the other twin “Where do you think?” Lightning said cheerfully as he smiled. “I see that you also had a good night.” Spitfire said and continued. “anyway all of you know the routine. the show starts in an hour and people have already stated to come in. so get ready suit up and focus. the weather team is almost done setting up the clouds and you know how the rest goes we have done this so many time before so I expect this to go just like always PERFECTLY.” Spitfire as Dash opened the door and peaked in. “We’re done. the clouds are ready.” Dash said as the wonderbolts looked at her. “good get ready guys we’re up in soon.” Spitfire said and the wonderbolts started going towards the locker rooms so they could change to their flight suits. but Soarin stayed in the room with Scootaloo and Dash. “You two should get to your private box.” Soarin said to them. “Yeah… you take care of yourself out there. Dash said as Scootaloo left the room. “I love you.” She said to Soarin and gave him a kiss. “I love you too.” Soarin said and walked in to the locker room. The show was sold out there were ponies filling all seats of the stadium. The routine was awesome the wonderbolts did all different kinda of spins and rolls and busted and kicked the clouds. Spitfire was turning clouds in to mist with fire and the twins did their synchronized flight routine. Fleetfoot was busting clouds faster than anypony else with her amazing speed and Surprise was doing her routine near the ground. but when it came to for the finale Soarin flew really high. so high in fact that the stadium that was full of people looked like a small house. in the meantime the rest of the wondebolts where lifting the dark thundercloud up. the idea was that Soarin would pierce the cloud and sent out an explosion of lightings. Soarin had done this hundreds of times and his expertise at lightning bending were a huge help when pulling this move out. He started the nose dive toward the ground and thundercloud. he could see the other wonderbolts were ready to do their synchronized routine at the moment he would hit the cloud and pull up. Dash was looking at Soarin as he dove towards the cloud she knew the he knew what to do but she was still worried. As the cloud came closer Soarin spotted that it was darker that usually… it wouldn’t be the first time the weather factory messed up with the colouring process but this… this... this was different. When he got to his max speed the cloud was close enough to see the sparks and pops that the cloud was emitting. He quickly realised that this wasn’t a regular thundercloud… this was a super charged thundercloud. he knew that super charged thunderclouds were extremely dangerous and if he would try to pull of his move he would get fried so he quickly tried to pull up from his dive but it was too late he hit the cloud and the cloud went up in a huge explosion of lightings and flames. the strength of the explosion threw Soarin to the ground and the ponies on the grand stands felt the shock wave. Dash and the other wonderbolts quickly flew out to Soarin to see if he was ok. Soarin was on the ground grunting and crying. his flight suit was torn apart and his body had few nasty burns on it. Dash got next to him in cried out in panic. “Soarin are you ok!” “I’m fine… just hurts like hell… and I think my left wing might be broken.” Soarin said while lying on the ground crying in pain. The medical personnel started treating Soarin on the field. Soarin was holding Dash’s hooves tight while he was in pain. “Is he gonna be ok?” Spitfire asked the medic that was looking over Soarin’s body. “He is in serious pain and is gonna be in pain for a couple of days. the burns aren’t that bad but they are gonna leave a small mark to his belly and his left wing is broken. he is gonna be fine in a week or so but the wing is gonna take a couple of months to heal properly.” The medic said. “So I guess you aren’t flying for a while.” Spitfire said to Soarin. “What went wrong Soarin… this had never happened before?” “The cloud… it wasn’t a thundercloud… it was a super charged thundercloud…” Soarin said while he stood up with the help of Dash. “But the weather factories don’t even make those things any more… they were too dangerous to use.” Spitfire said while rubbing her chin. “Someone had to take the regular thundercloud and super charged it overnight… but it needs a lot of skill to do that…” When Spitfire said that Dash realised everything. She knew only one pony who knew all about making thunderclouds. “Thunderlane!” Dash screamed in panic and looked at Soarin… and then she realised that she had left Scootaloo at their seats in the private box near the field but when she looked at the box she didn’t see her but she saw a black Pegasus flying away with a bag over his back and when dash saw that she yelled on top of her lungs in panic “Scootaloo!”
