Chapter 9: Wake Up Call

Rainbow’s eyes slowly started to open to reveal the hazy world around her. She groaned when the brightness from the sun hit her eyes, blinding her current view. She quickly brought up a forehoof and rubbed her eyes before she blinked a few times and let her blurry vision settle.

Dash quickly noticed the familiar surroundings of her hotel room in Cloudsdale, which had been assigned to her weeks ago by the Wonderbolts themselves. She sat herself up on her cloud bed and looked around the room.

She quickly spotted two chairs and a small table in the corner of the room. On the table a bottle of half drunken champagne lay in container of melted ice, and on one of the chairs a small golden-yellow feather sat motionless, glinting from the small rays of sun from the room's curtians.

Dash instantly began to remember the visions from last night, her face started to fill with excitement and glee, could last night have really happened she thought?

Dash leaped out of bed and quickly trotted over to the chairs and table, she started to think more about the night before and remembered her and Spitfire coming back for a celebratory drink for Dash’s first performance at the Gala.

Dash only managed to remember so much, she couldn’t seem to remember going back to the Gala after she and Spitfire had chatted together on the mountain top. She still wondered whether if what she remembered happened, really did happen.

Dash’s joy started to fade whilst her nerves started to rise… if this was real, then she’d have to tell ponies about her and Spitfire at some point… but that wasn’t the part she feared most, the part which did was how they would all react to it.

Dash stopped her actions as she came face to face with the chair, with her mind still buzzing around with thoughts. She picked the feather from the chair with a hoof and smiled as she felt the softness of the item on her grasp.

More thoughts started to fill the mares mind as she sat down on the chair. Even though she was happy, she was still worried about her reputation in Equestria. Not just as a harmony bearer, but as one of Equestria’s top flyers.

Just then, Dash heard a knock on the door. She snapped her head to face the hotel room’s entrance. She slowly got herself up off of the chair and made her way over to the door.

Dash opened the door and her eyes widened when she saw the yellow Wonderbolt captain standing behind the threshold of the room.

Dash’s mouth opened slightly, electing giggles from the golden mare. “Hehe, you know what? You’re really cute when you're surprised, Dash.”

Rainbow blinked a few times before responding with a slightly nervous tone, “Oh.. hey Spitfire… w-was um you know, last night...are we now-”

Spitfire smiled at the sky blue mare’s attempts to communicate. She silenced the mare with a hoof to her mouth, before gently kissing her on the cheek. When she stepped back Dash wore an equally big smile on her face, accompanied by a pair of bright red cheeks.

Spitfire sighed, disrupting the current atmosphere. “So… are you still sure about you know… all this?” she asked hesitantly, fumbling with her hooves slightly.

Dash didn’t waste any time and nodded confidently with a smile. “Of course...why wouldn’t I?” she asked slightly nervous about the pegasus's next question.

Spitfire looked up at the mare, her face showed some caution, which caused Dash to worry slightly.

Spitfire sighed. “Could I come in?” she asked.

Realizing she hadn't done this already Dash quickly motioned for her mare to come into the room, she closed the door behind her before turning round to face the golden mare of her dreams.

Spitfire rubbed the back of her neck hesitantly. “Well,” she started, “It’s about my parents,” she said as Dash came over to her now holding a concerned expression for her marefriend.

Spitfire continued, “My mother and father aren't going to be happy when they find out… you know… about us…because we're both mares... but I want you to know that I still want to be your marefriend, Dash, but I don’t want you to be tormented and ridiculed... because of me,” she said looking towards her marefriend with slightly glazed eyes.

Dash was slightly shocked that Spitfire was telling her this, she never thought that the golden pegasus would have gone out of her way like this to ask her out. With this thought in mind, Dash leaned forward and took Spitfire’s hoof as she spoke, “Look, Spits… I don’t care about what other ponies say about us, I’m just as scared about how much our lives are going to change… but that doesn’t matter to me, Spitfire… I like you a whole lot and I’m not going to leave you just because somepony says two mares can't be in a relationship, because I know they can... I know we can,” she said truthfully.

Spitfire’s smile widened as she leaned forward and plant a kiss on Dash’s muzzle. “Thanks, Dash, I’m happy you're so strong about this… if anything though, I’m a little curious as to why,” she said raising an eyebrow playfully.

Dash giggled slightly. “Well, not to mention the fact you are the captain Spitfire plus you’re really um… kinda… hot,” she said blushing.

Spitfire flicked her tail slightly as her playfulness increased. “Really? You think I’m... hot?” she asked quizzically.

“You're gorgeous!” Dash blurted out, before quickly putting her hooves to her mouth… but it was too late.

Spitfire’s smirk widened as she came muzzle to muzzle with the sky blue mare. “So then, why don’t I ask that question from that dinner we had a few weeks back… who is your favorite Wonderbolt?”

Dash smiled and darted forward catching the yellow mare of guard in a kiss. Spitfire stumbled slightly but kept her balance as she leaned into the kiss savouring every moment.

Soon though Dash parted leaving Spitfire with an answer, ”well... Fleetfoot is probably my favorite.

“What?!” Spitfire said in astonishment, playfully jabbing the mare. This elected giggles from both ponies.

Dash’s eyes widened as she realised the severity of her joke. “Hehe, no I meant to say, hehe stop that, “ she said as Spitfire tickled her marefriend, sending the pair tumbling onto the cloud bed in the center of the room.

Spitfire looked down at the mare below her with a grin, she raised her ear as she spoke, “What was that Dash?” she asked playfully.

Dash muffled a giggle. She shook her head playfully before leaning up and kissing her marefriend’s neck. “It’s you Spitfire… it’s always been you,” she said truthfully.

Spitfire grinned happily. “Now that’s what I wanted to hear,” she said, diving in for another kiss with her mare. After a few more moments Spitfire jumped off the bed and headed back over towards the exit of the room.

Dash too got off the bed as she followed the yellow mare. “So what is it we’re doing today, Spits?” she asked curiously.

Spitfire smiled. “We’re going to Manehatten,” she said gleefully.

Dash was slightly shocked by this sudden revelation. “W-what you mean now...w-what about my friends?” she asked in a frantic tone.

Spitfire giggled. “They already know, Dash. Besides, it’s our next stop for the winter tour,” she said knowingly.

Dash smiled at the mare. “Cool! How are we getting there, it’s a long flight from here,” she pointed out.

Spitfire’s face filled with excitement. “I know, that’s why we’re taking the Wonderbolt’s blimp,” she answered.

Dash was astonished. “A blimp?! That’s soo awesome!”

Spitfire smiled happily. “Well that's great! There’s a reserved seat with your name on it,” she said winking as Dash made her way over to the yellow mare.

Dash was now as eager as ever. “Cool where do I sit?” she asked curiously.

Spitfire grinned and softly kissed Dash on the cheek as she said. "It’s right next to me,” before trotting off down the hallway of the hotel.

Dash smiled as she trotted after her new marefriend, she loved the way she was feeling right now. But she knew there was going to be many hurdles to overcome when the team returned to Cloudsdale…
