My return

Kindo is looking at a window depicting the Elements of Harmony defeating Nightmare Moon in the Hall of Heroes in Canterlot. While he is standing there Princess Celestia approached him to ask about something but sees him staring at the window.

“Her mother would be proud.” Celestia said waiting for his reaction.

“Yes, she would be and so am I.” Kindo said looking deeply hurt.

“Why don’t you go see her?” Celestia asked completely confused.

“I already have just not yet.” Kindo answered still looking hurt but regains his composure after a minute.

“Why are you here Celestia?” Kindo asked bewildered.

“I needed to ask you-” Celestia started.

“No not that way Luna.” Kindo’s voice echoed from behind the doors.

“Younger version.” The Kindo that walked in with Luna explained to Celestia and Luna who had their jaws dropped.

“We solved this problem before it ever happened. Why are you here?” Kindo asked his older self.

“As for our solution, I…uh…lost it. I’m here to tell you that it’s time to begin our journey.” His older self explained.

“And you decided to do that in pony? Well we’re an idiot then” Younger Kindo asked carefully.

“Basically but I think it’s about time we leave.” Older Kindo said trying not to reveal anything to his younger self.

“Well in that case. To days to come.” Younger Kindo said with a bow.

“All my love to long ago.” Older Kindo said smiling with a bow before disappearing in a bright flash of purple light.

“Now then Princess Celestia what were you going to ask me?” Kindo was getting curious.

“There were two of you!” Luna stated in complete shock while Celestia was too shocked to speak.

“Basically.” Kindo said nonchalantly. “Oh…right time to make a difference in this world. Goodbye Princess Celestia. Goodbye Princess Luna.” Kindo finished with a quick bow to each Princess. He flew out a window quickly and accelerated to unnaturally high speeds before he disappeared in a flash of purple light not as bright as his older self but visible for miles even in the middle of the day.

~~~~~~~~~~Soarin’s POV~~~~~~~~~~

Soarin had hung out with Dash almost all week but now that he was back at the Wonderbolts HQ he couldn’t help but think of the last week with her. Over the last week nothing really happened they just talked, hung out with her friends, and raced every now and then. The only interesting thing was on his second day in Ponyville when Dash solidified her place as the most beautiful mare he had ever met.

Soarin knew that he couldn’t see her for quite a while due to shows and practice but that didn’t stop him thinking about her. The next few months went by like usual for Soarin, he ate then trained then ate then exercised then ate, it was getting boring. Next week is the royal wedding and Soarin was invited to go, he didn’t know why but it was something different so he agreed.

The wedding was boring but before the wedding there was an invasion of black bug-like alicorn ponies and they were defeated by the bride and groom. He is currently waiting outside where the after-party would take place, since he wasn’t invited to the wedding only the after-party, he was starting to question his reasons for coming to this. Just as he started questioning himself there was a loud boom above him and when he looked up he knew he had made the right decision.

Above him was a beautiful rainbow being made by the only pony that can make them, Rainbow Dash. Soarin was instantly grateful that he came to this wedding and couldn’t wait until he could see her again, he literally couldn’t wait, and with a powerful flap of his wings he was airborne. He angled himself to intercept her and when he did catch up to her they, ignoring the party for a little while, landed on a cloud and talked.

They talked as Cadence and Shining Armor exchanged pieces of cake, obviously I mean they hit each other with a piece of cake, cleaned off and got changed. When Soarin and Dash rejoined the party Dash left to be with her friends again but Soarin stayed behind and mingled with his fans. Soarin didn’t know what was going on but everything went quiet for a second and Pinkie Pie appeared on stage and said something before grabbing the DJ from under the table and throwing a microphone to Twilight.

The song she was singing was perfect, too perfect for him to resist, and he found Rainbow by the punch table.

“Hey Dash!” Soarin said excitedly nervous.

“Oh…Hey Soarin.” Dash replied nonchalantly but also a bit sadly.

“What’s wrong?” Soarin asked immediately getting worried by her tone.

“It’s nothing.” Dash said perking up either falsely or actually feeling better being around him, he couldn’t tell.

“Well if it’s nothing then…” Soarin started and waited to hear her reply.

“Then?” Dash asked after a few seconds of awkward silence.

“Will you, Rainbow Dash, care to dance with me?” He asked happily with hope shining in his eyes.

“I would love to, Soarin.” She replied almost instantly perking up some more and as she gave a quick curtsey there was a flash from a camera.

“I can’t get rid of them even for one night.” Soarin quietly complained but Dash heard it and giggled.

“Sorry if this hurts your reputation.” Dash said as they started to dance.

“How would it hurt my reputation?” Soarin asked trying to slide into a subject he was uneasy to bring up.

“If other ponies think that we’re dating couldn’t it hurt your reputation?” Dash asked knowing where this could go but ultimately leaving it up to him.

“There is no rule against it so I wouldn’t get in trouble with the other Wonderbolts besides…I know I would like to.” Soarin replied after a second with the most serious yet loving face he could muster.

“Are you asking me out?” Dash asked slightly confused but hope was still shining in her eyes.

“Um…Well…Basically yes I am.” Soarin said worried about her reply but just like Dash he had hope in his eyes. After a few moments Dash giggled again but stopped when she saw Soarin’s face drop in disappointment.

“You have the stupidest ways to ask a girl out.” Dash said still amused but Soarin perked up.

“Are you saying that…” Soarin was silenced by a pair of sky blue lips being pressed against his own.

“I couldn’t help myself.” Dash admitted sheepishly after they broke the kiss for air.

“I’m surprised I could.” He admitted before they once again locked lips.
