If You're The Rainbow, I'm The Gold
The Eleventh One
Previous ChapterRainbow twisted and turned on the cloud she was resting on, the sun was going down in Ponyville, so she decided to just have a rest in the "Cloud Wonderland" as she called it. The reason was because there was just clouds, stretching out for miles and miles with no end in sight. She had stopped searching for Soarin a few hours ago, it wasn't very friendly of her, but she was bored...
There was a gentle breeze flowing through her rainbow mane as she laid down on the fluffy, white object below her. Although she stopped searching for Soarin a few hours ago, she still felt something bothering her, but she just couldn't determine what it was. She poked her head through the layer of cloud below her to look at the small town below her, various lights were flickering in the streets. She gently slid her slender body through the gap she had made and rocketed down towards the ground, gaining an incredible amount of speed before pulling her body up slightly and opening her strong wings.
She turned slightly and straightened her body into a more aerodynamic position and began blasting through the streets of ponyville, curving and rolling to avoid ponies in her way. She felt a sharp pain in her left wing as it got caught on a dark blue pegasus, knocking her out of her flight and to the ground with a loud thud. "Ow, that's gonna leave a mark..." she murmured as she failed to rise to her hooves.
"Oh Celestia, I'm so sorry!" the dark pegasus she had clipped her wing on said nervously, she noticed he looked a lot like Soarin, but with the dark blue coat. She noticed a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead and he spoke in a strangely flustered manner. The stallion then stuck out his hoof and helped her to her hooves
She winced slightly before speaking again. "Don't worry, it's my fault for flying in the streets." she said, brushing herself off. "I do it all the time."
"Rather daring, isn't it?" he asked, looking worried. "Wouldn't you rather fly higher in the sky than barely skimming the ground?"
"Nope!" she replied simply. "I love the adrenaline rush of being close to the ground! Don't get me wrong though, I love height too!"
"If you say so..." the stallion replied. "Who are you by the way?" he asked, a smug look on his face as if he knew who she was.
"Name's Rainbow Dash!" she responded, reaching out her hoof for a hoof shake. "Pleasure meeting you, uh..."
"Wave Chill." he responded, accepting the hoof shake happily, looking back at Dash as the epiphany hit her.
"Wait a moment!" she said, quickly realizing who this pony was. "WAVE CHILL!? As in Wonderbolt Wave Chill!?"
"Yes, precisely." he responded. "Is there a problem?" he asked, surprising casually, even raising an eyebrow.
"No! You're just a wonderbolt that's all!" she said, feeling giddy and ecstatic.
"I get it a lot, trust me" he assured her. "Sometimes I just want to be normal though..." he trailed off, Dash raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, confused.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked smoothly, lowering his eyes and smiling. Dash blushed suddenly, Wave's smile turning extremely smug.
"Sorry, uhh." Dash fought for a way to get rid of the topic he was about to bring up. "I'm taken!" she said quickly, blushing and flatly laughing.
"Oh? By whom?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Dash was stumped now, how was she going to explain this? So she just decided to just to do the stupid answer.
"None of your business!" she suddenly yelled. Getting ready to leave, she started pumping her wings as subtly as she could. "I have to go now! Nice meeting you!" she finished, jetting off into the sky. The final thing she heard from wave was a barely audible "Seeya later!" Nice one Dash, you completely blew it with a wonderbolt around. In her defense though, he was being very creepy. Maybe taking advantage of his wonderbolt status to try and get another mare? She tried as hard as she could to forget the events that had just transpired and left for her house.
She noticed a slight orange glow in the distance, it couldn't be the sun, as she was sure she was flying away from the sun, but she was still worried about what it was.As she grew closer she became more curious and more fearful as to what it was, she was finally only about a hundred meters, when she came to a startling realization. The giant orange fire ball... WAS HER HOUSE!? after she had recognized the incredibly scary truth, she flew swiftly over to her house to survey the damage.
It truly was a cowering inferno, flames licked at the fluffy clouds, tearing apart mostly everything in her house. She managed to catch a glimpse at a few of her possessions caught in the blaze, a wonderbolt poster, her gala dress from last year's gala, her small, wooden desk a chair in her room and her most prized possession of all... Her photo with Spitfire from the academy, with that very pegasus' signature. Upon seeing these things, her anger began to boil, she felt a lonesome tear drop from her eye as the photo burned and was transformed into a small pile of ash. Suddenly her anger stopped, she just felt incredibly sad. She felt like she was trapped in a vortex of sadness, unable to escape.
It was then that she noticed a stallion pegasus, sitting there, gently flapping his wings to stay in the same place, as if he was just floating. Rainbow flew up to him to get a better look at him, she was amazed at what she saw... It was Soarin... She took a quick glance at his face, it was an expression of terror dominating his face. He briskly turned after hearing Dash's wings beating over the noise of the fire. He looked at her with that terror-filled expression and only managed to muster a few words.
"I am so, so sorry..."
Author's Note
BEST. TITLE. EVER! XD
My creative mind is lacking today, can't even think of decent title!
Dun Dun Duuuuun! The plot twist was so obvious, I'll make a mental note to not give away the twist before it happens. XD
Finally getting back into this, and since i have holidays now, I can put out a lot of chapters! Although I have added 2 things to my weekend schedules. One, I have started a CS:GO E-sports team and we will start having games on Sundays which means I won't be able to write as much, adding to that is 2. I am starting writing on Wattpad. For people who don't know what Wattpad is, it's a fanfiction writing platform that allows you to write whatever you want, not just MLP like I usually do.
Because of this, I'm starting a new fic that centers around the Pokemon anime, particularly Amourshipping. So if anyone reading this story is by any chance a Pokemon fan, follow this link to go check out my account and follow me there! First chapter will be out next Saturday!
