Rebuilding a Rainbow

"Now y-you've got me crying like a foal," Rainbow complained as she pushed away from Soarin to ruffly . She rub her tears away again.

"Your not a foal, but that colt is dead when i get my hooves on him. Doesn't he know i am a trained member of Equestria's military?!" Soarin said, puffing his chest out an angry expression on his face.

"Shh! Would you just calm down, it's done and over with n-nothing you can do about it now o-or could have down t-then," Dash mumbled as she let her hooves slid off her face.

"Dash don't say that, that just isn't something that you get over that easily! I hope he rots in prison for his crime if i can't get my hooves on him!" Soarin replied, his voice still raised despite Rainbow's efforts to shush him.

"W-well, the court doesn't k-know about it," Rainbow explained with a shrug as she glanced back over at him.

"Wait! What?" Soarin asked, confused as to what she meant.

"How was i supposed to tell them that?!" Rainbow hissed, throwing her hooves back into the air madly. She was sick of telling him to be quiet by now and tired of the whole conversation, which didn't end with a very happy Rainbow.

"Dashy, he is only in for foalnapping and will be out before we know it if you don't add these charges on him." Soarin replied, his voice calmer and softer now, so that she wouldn't get any madder at him.

"Yeah, well who's g-gonna tell them, cause i'm not!" Rainbow responded, obviously still angry about the whole situation. She looked at him for another moment and then stood to her hooves and stormed off to the end of the cloud where she took flight and sped off towards Ponyville, where the solitude of her house waited for her.

"Come on Rainbow!" Soarin groaned as he got to his hooves and then flew after her.

Soarin was fast, is an under statement of just how fast this colt could fly through the air, but Rainbow Dash was even faster when she was angry. By now he knew they were in Ponyville and was still just a few hooves away from the mare, he remained quiet and chased her. Soon they were at her front door and she was struggling to open the door with her keys with her sharp angry movements, which only made her more frustrated and angry.  "Rainbow, let me do it," he offered, flashing a small smile at her.

"No! L-leave me alone!"

"I'm not going to leave you alone until you calm down."

"I'm fine!" She yelled turning to face him.

"Oh come on Rainbow, this is the worst argument ever," he said with a sigh. At this point she was tired of it all and just wanted it to all stop. So, she sat, dropped her keys and looked towards him as she sighed.

Soarin took this as her asking for help and retrieved her keys before they fell through the clouds, then opened her door to let her inside.

"Thanks," she mumbled as she walked in and up to her room, starting to calm down a bit.

Soarin sighed and threw her keys down on the couch then went to close the door when a big, pink, puffy maned pony appeared out of what seemed to be no where.

"We are busy Pinkie," Soarin said to her, not even surprised at her sudden appearance since he was around Surprise so often.

"I came to cheer Dashie up, Rarity said she wasn't in a good mood," Pinkie said with a frown and Soarin sighed, tapping his hoof, anxious to get up to Dash and see what she was doing.

"Really Pinkie, she is busy and i have to get up to her. So please leave," Soarin said, his voice still calm and collective as the pink pony sighed and took off out the door to a big pink hot air balloon. "She'll be back soon, she is just like Surprise and I know Surprise too well," He mumbled to himself as he shut the door, locking it behind him and then walked up to Rainbow's room.

"Rainbow," he began but was interrupted by the mentioned Mare as she complained about his presence in her house. "I'm not leaving Da-i mean Rainbow," he continued anyway and walked over to sit on her bed by her. Rainbow merely sighed and looked away from him, stubbornly. "I just have one question and then i'll leave you alone, but only if you answer it. Deal?" he added and she looked towards him, interested in his offer. She nodded. "So, if you wouldn't even tell the judge what he did to you, why did you tell me?" He asked and her face softened and went blank with thought.

"I-I don't know," she mumbled, looking up to his face.

He shrugged and said, "That isn't an answer, so i get another question," with a smirk and she shook her head.

"I will answer," she said, her facial expression softening as she gave it some more thought. "Get me a towel from the bathroom first though, okay?" She asked, pulling herself from her thought, because she had come up with an answer now. He nodded then took off down the hallway, already knowing where the bathroom and towels were from when he stayed over last time.

She watched him leave and exhaled then fell backwards on her bed, exhustedly. Getting all worked up could do that to a mare.

Soarin returned moments later with a black towel in his mouth and dropped it on the bed beside Rainbow who was now sound asleep. "Great, there goes my answer," he said with a sigh and picked the towel up again. "I guess i could whip her face off anyway," he said muffedly to himself as he started to pat her face with the towel. She fidgeted slightly in her sleep as he did this, but she didn't wake, so he continued.

"You look cute when you sleep," he said, chuckling to himself to himself as he threw the towel down and sat on the end of the bed. "I sure am tired," he mumbled and looked back at the empty space behind him. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind if i just, took a nap, right?" He asked himself then shrugged and laid down, letting his wings get a rest from the fast, straining flight here. "I forgot how soft cloud beds were," he mumbled, a smile creeping on to his face as his wings rested on the cloud bed and his eye lids closed. "She is going to kill me when she wakes up, but it will all be worth it," He whispered as he fell asleep.

Moments later a silly pink pony jumped from a balloon into the bedroom, "I'm in now to find them," it whispered as it crept on and then noticed the two ponies laying in bed. Her eyes widened as she looked over the scene and a cartoon light bulb shone above her puffy mane as she said, "So, this is what Rarity was talking about a loooong time ago!" Happy she had figured it out. "Now I've got to get that picture for evidence like i Pinkie promised Rarity," She continued to say as she pulled a camera out of no where and snapped a picture.

"Okie dokie Rarity i'm coming, Dashie looks fine," She said to herself as she backed up, ran towards the window and leaped into her balloon, happy to know Dash was okay and that she had something for Rarity.

"Ugh," Rainbow mumbled as she rolled herself over onto her belly, beginning to wake up. She rolled over right onto Soarin's stomach and smiled as she nuzzled her head into his fur. "So comfy..." She mumbled on as she let her eyes close before they could even see stright and she fell asleep again. As she slept she shifted on and ended up laying on top of Soarin, clinging onto his body like a teddy bear, which she thought was a pillow. Again she awoke and this time was blinded by the sun shining in her window, "Ugh!" She complained again and slammed her face into Soarin's belly which caused him to wake and almost loose his last meal.

"Ah! Celestia dammit that hurt!" He groaned as he sat up and attempted to grab his stomach, but got rainbow's face instead.

"AH!!!!" She screamed and ripped her head from his hooves in a panic. "Don't rape me again! Just let me go!" She cried as she fell off the bed and Soarin forced his eyes open.

"Whoa calm down Rainbow!" He yelled to her and her head popped up to look at him from the cloud floor.

She glared back at him angrily and yelled, "What the buck are you doing here?!?" She suddenly stopped yelling though as she took in his image and then let her face fall to the bed miserably.

"Why'd you stop yelling? What are you lookin, oh..." He said as his cheeks lit up embarrassed and he tried to calm his over excited wings who seemed to be enjoying Rainbow's cuddling very much.

"Celestia dammit!" Rainbow groaned through the clouds and Soarin began to stutter.

"I-i s-swear n-no i-i-i...i Pinkie swear, no! I Pinkie p-promise t-that we did NOTHING."

"I know i remember i was just pulling your tail for scaring me," Rainbow said with a chuckle as she lifted her head to reveal a smile.

"You know you have a sick sense of humor," He grumbled as his wings finally fell and he tucked them in on his sides.

"Yeah, but you should have seen the look on your face!" She said as she laughed on and got up to sit by him on the bed.

"Y-yeah well...you should have seen the look on your face when you thought i was that colt," He added with a chuckle himself, but Rainbow's laughing stopped and he realized how horrible his try at a comeback was. "Rainbow i didn't..."

"Goodbye," she mumbled as she turned her body away from him and let her head hang.

"Look Rainbow...aw don't cry! Your messing up that pretty face...Come on show me those shinning white teeth! No? Fine then at least show me that beautiful face. No? Oh, just don't cry...It makes me feel as bad as that colt is," he said as Rainbow sat, looking away from him crying.

"I'm not crying and no, y-your not that bad," she mumbled and his ears perked up as he got up to walk across the bed and sit in front of her. "A-and stop calling me pretty. We all know i look like crap, no need to rub it in," she sighed as she lifted her head and glanced into the mirror across the room.

"No..don't say that Rainbow your don't look bad," He said and forced a smile at her but she sighed and his smile fell.

"Don't lie Soarin. Take a good long look at me and say it again if it's true," she added and he nodded as her magenta eyes fell sadly from the mirror to him.

"Well your mane is dull, and your eyes are swollen and sore. You look well hurt, run down, drained you know?" She nodded and looked away from him, she had always been concerned about her appearance it came with being cocky so she hated looking like she did, but she was just too afraid to fix her appearance because of him. "But, your still the beautiful mare i love," he continued and she glanced back to him, confused.

"y-you l-love me?" She asked as she stared blankly at him.

"Yes Rainbow, i love everything about you and i don't know why. Your always so pushy and mean with me, but i guess i like that," he said with a shrug and she smiled a bit.

"I love you to Soarin," she said with a smile and threw her arms around him. "Your a good friend, you know just how to put up with my crap. That's why i love you like one of the girls!" She said as she squeezed him, her smile big and bright on her face as his smile faded and his face fell as well.

"But, i didn't want you to love me like one of the girls," he thought, disappointed, but only said, "You better stock up with pies then, because i will sleep over like one of them," with a faked smile as she let go of him.

"Deal," She said, her smile, shining brightly and her run down face filled with joy.

"Yeah, better be a deal if i'm just a friend," he groaned softly.

"What was that?" She asked, not quite hearing him and he shook his head.

"Nah, it was nothing," he said and faked another smile for her, which she returned with an even bigger one on her face.
