The Proposal, Heartbreak, And The War
Rainbow Dash sat gazing at the stars with Soarin sitting next to her."Can I ask you something, Dash?"
Soarin's eyes met Rainbow Dash."Soarin, you know we can ask me anything." Rainbow Dash
awnsred. He turned his head to look at a constellation that looked like a heart. ''We've been dating for
around a year now. and well... I realy like you. Will you...m-mary me." Soarin turned back, to face Rainbow Dash
" Soarin, you know how long I've been wanting you to ask me that. Of course I'll mary you." Dash turned
and kissed Soarin on the lips. Soarin closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss.
After a while they flew down to the white cloud mansion. Rainbow opened the door and was surprised to see
that it was unlocked. She peeked through the door, "What the hey, what are you guys doing here!"Sitting
on the couch was Thunderlane, a dark blue stallion, and a young filly that Had the same mane color and style
as her. "I'm not sure you remember us, but both of us are your family Rainbow dash. I'm your dad and this is
your little sis, Skyla.'' The dark colored stallion spoke softly, she could tell he was nervous. she didn't awnser,
but instead collapsed and broke into tears. Soarin fell down beside her and wrapped his wing around her.
"who are you?"The dark colored pony pointed his hoof at soarin
Soarin awnsered,"I'm Soarin, Rainbow"s boyfriend.''
"Actually thats what I'm here to talk to her about, You see, she's supposed to be engaged to Thunderlane.''
"What?" Soarin tightened his wing around Rainbow.
Rainbow tried to stop crying and lifted her head. "You left me, and know your forcing me to get married to
Thunderlane."
"I'm sorry, Dash. I guess when I left I didn't really think you'd care. I guess I wasn't really thinking about you at all.
I guess I was just trying to run from my problems. The truth is I didn't know how to raise a filly by my self."
She had always known why he'd abandoned her.he wanted to run away instead of face his fears. After her mom had
died in the weather factory accident, he was to scared to face his problem.
"Ok, but how did you end up raising her?'' She pointed her hoof at Skyla.
He tried to explain that she had a knew step mom, and how she couldn't make the long trip to Cloudsdale.
They had travled from a distant country. She didn't mention about the proposal, Instead she just let Soarin keep his
wing around her. She did tear up a few times, thinking about how she had just gotten engaged to the pony she
really loved, and know she was engaged to a pony she had always yelled at and never took the time
to know.
"Listen Thunderlane, I'm sorry for all the times I yelled at you. I never had any really good
reason.'' She sat up and turned to Thunderlane.
Soarin started to tear up.
Thunderlane glanced at he and turned to face Soarin. "Ohh, I guess I never noticed. I actually
kind of admired your assertiveness.''
She smiled. She was relived that he didn't think of her as a jerk.
Soarin thought to him self, and started to cry.
Rainbow laid back down, she knew in her mind that it was time to tell them about the proposal. "Dad, I guess
I need to confess something....Soarin proposed to me ....just an hour ago."
Skyla and her dad sat there and stared at the young couple, while Thunderlane smiled and also stared at
them almost like he didn't wan't to get maried.
"I't was your moms wish that if something happened to her that you would get married to the stallion
of her choice. And Thunderlane was her choice."
"Look, Thunderlane is a nice guy, but I love Soarin."
"Rainbow dash, your getting married to Thunderlane and thats final!" With that him and Skyla flew off.
Thunderlane walked over to Dash and lifted her head with his wing."I just have to tell you that
I've always loved you, and I wan't whats best for you."He smiled and kissed her on the head and then
flew off.
Soarin still kept his wing around her."Just to let you know I also love you, and also want you to
be happy. I'll always be here for you.
The next day, Soarin was out working with the young cadets. Spitfire approached, Soarin, with a
rather sad face."Soarin, I would like to see you in my office.''
soarin entered the office with a worried look on his face.''permission to enter mam.''
Every pony was supposed to enter with the same address, no matter if cadet or wonder bolt.
''Hey Soar, how was your date? Did you ask her yet?''
''Yeah, but her dad wants her to marry a different stallion.''
''her dad but, I thought her dad left her when she was a filly.''
''Thats what I thought so too.''
There was silence for a couple of minutes. Until Spitfire burst into tears. "I'm sorry Soarin."She handed
him the letter that she had gotten from Twilight that morning. Soarin let the letter slip to the ground, and
took off flying.
Twilight sat on her bed in the Canterlot castle. She was listening to Spike go over the prep list for the
Grand Galaping Gala for the tenth time. "I think we've done everything on the list except for....recheck the
list....again." Spike sighed. Twilight giggled and awnsered," How about we break for lunch?" Spike
imediently smiled and ran to the door. Twilight walked out the door and was knocked off her hooves by
a gray pony. "Derpy?" Spike helped Twilight up. "What are you doing here?" Twilight turned and smiled at
Derpy. "I have a note from the Everfree Forest." Derpy pulled out an envelope and read it, She then handed
it to Twilight. Twilight opened the envelope and read it. It read;
dear Princess Twilight,
I am sending you this letter to warn you, If you don't follow
these instructions we will attack you and every pony else.We wan't
every strong stallion to fight in a war agianst us.
sicerly,
Shadow Bolts
Twilight ran to the thrown room were princess Celestia and Luna were discussing some changes in
Manehaten's Government. "Princess Celestia, I was just sent a note from the Shadow Bolts, they are
threatning us. And the only way to stop it is to declare war." Twilight was out of breath when she had
reached the thrown. Princess Celestia hesitated to awnser, "Evacuate every pony to the underground
shelters and have every stallion fight. have Spitfire write letters to every stallion telling them they need
to fight in this war. And have your pony friends evacuate to, we wan't them to be safe."
Twilight ran back to her room to have Spike write a letter to Spitfire.
