Night Watch

As Rainbow and Soarin were flying side by side...

"Hey, err, Dash, you wanna do some tricks or something?"

"Oh, YEA! I'm gonna knock your flank off!", Dash said as she flew higher into the sky.

'Hahaha, yea.......', he thought, as he started blushing madly.

'Ok, Rainbow, just do a trick like a Sonic Rainboom. I'm sure everypony would love to see it as well. And I would DEFINITELY LOVE to see Soar's gobsmacked face when I do it!', Dash thought as she flew even higher. Soarin couldn't see her at all, but when he did, she was coming down at top speed.

'What in Tartarus is she doing?!'

BOOM!!!!

The notice was so loud, Soarin had to cover his ears. As he opened his eyes, he saw a huge ring of color exploding outwards. "Oh. My. Celestia....."

"Haha, you should see the look on your face, Soarin! I could take pictures and send it to the media!!!"

After he was done being 'very impressed', he rushed to Rainbow and hugged her. "That. Was. The. Most. AWESOMEST THING EVER!!!"

"Hey, hey, you've seen it before!"

"Yea.....but WHO CARES! I am the ONLY Wonderbolt, who EVER saw a rainboom THAT close!"

"Hehe, Soar, thanks, anyways, still a shame that I couldn't join the Wonderbolts yet...", she said as she hugged him back.

"It's alright, one day, you WILL get into the team. And THAT'S a promise!"

"I-Thanks. I hate to admit, but I didn't know what I'd do without you Soar....And if you tell ANYONE about this mushy stuff, you'll be flying in the Wonderbolts with a neck brace!"

"Okay, okay, deal then...."

The next few minutes was them hugging. On. A. Cloud. To Soarin, it was like a miracle come true. To Dash, she didn't notice, because of how many things were in her mind: Equestria Games, Flight Lessons for Scootaloo, the Wonderbolt Academy, Twilight's book club that she told-ok, FORCED-Dash to join.....

'Maybe, I should just tell her, now. I mean everything is so perfect, right here, and everything. Eeeep, oh Luna PLEASE help me.......'

"Ummmm.......Soar, you can get off me, now"; Rainbow realized what they were doing.

"Oh.......I-Okay......"

"Oh no."

"What?"

"I promised Fluttershy I would come back after my fly. O man, she would be WORRIED SICK, if I don't get home! Sorry Soar, but I got to go. I'll see you at the academy, so bye!!!!" And with that, she flew of in a hurry.

A few minutes passed and Soarin yelled,"WHAT IS WRONG ME WITH ME! AM I CAUSING BAD LUCK TO HAPPEN?!.........Don't worry Rainbow, I'll tell you soon enough.......Why did you have to ruin it Fluttershy......" Soarin whimpered, as he flew back to Wonderbolt H.Q.

Rainbow bursted into her home, as she saw Fluttershy 'eeeeping' and hanging from the wall frame. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, I was so worried! Why did you take, so long? You had me worried......." Fluttershy looked like she was crying.

"Oh man, I'm so-so-so sorry. My, um, 'little fly' took longer than expected. Everything will be alright now,"

Fluttershy got off the wall and hugged Rainbow. "Never. Do that to me. You-you pinkie p-promise?"

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye! I will never leave you hanging Flutters..." Rainbow was never good at being sappy, but she tried her best.

"T-thank you...", Fluttershy said, as she silently cried on Rainbow's chest.

Soarin reached the entrance of the H.Q and entered. Surprise, simply being Surprise, just happened to hop out of nowhere, right in front of him. "Soarin! We were SO-SO-SO worried. Where have you been? Everypony was thinking of making a search party for you. You know who else is good at making parties, my cousin Pinkie Pie! She can throw the BEST parties ever! And since she's good at making parties, I was thinking to bring her along, so, we could have a search party, so we could find you, and-...... Soarin, where did you go? *gasp* He vanished into thin air!I knew it! He really is a unicorn!!! Oh my cheeseburgers, I HAVE to tell the others!"

~ ~ ~

Soarin passed the gymnasium and decided to go to his room. Unfortunately, the whole team saw him, and they rushed to him.

"You ACTUALLY finished the patrol?!"

"This guy has guts."

"Nice job there, big guy", Fleetfoot complimented.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm going to bed now", Soarin said, as he exited the gym, with his head hanging low.

"I don't need to be physic to know that something's wrong with him", Wave Chill commented.

"Well duh!"

"SURPRISE!! STOP DOING THAT! YOUR'RE GONNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!"

"Well, sor-RY Blazy......anyways, guess what? Soarin's a unicorn!"

"EXCUSE ME???"

"Well obviously, he just disappeared into thin air, and I saw him in his room!"

"Oh well, I guess Surprise never heard of FLYING AWAY in her life!"

"Hmmmmm, this calls for some detective work!" Surprise pulled out a detective coat and hat. Spitfire resisted the urge to slap her on the face.

'Maybe I should ask Dashie on a date.....no way. And besides, I don't want her breaking my neck......', Soarin thought, as he shuddered.

He grabbed his plushie of Dashie, and started stroking her mane. "Do YOU know what I can do?" The plushie just simply stared. "I thought so....."

After a few minutes of hardcore thinking(and hugging his plush), Soarin found his answer.

"Maybe, tomorrow, when classes start. I'll tell her at the academy....I'm PRETTY sure this is gonna go just fine....", and thus smiling like an idiot.

A crazy, awkward idea came to Soarin's head. He grabbed a comb and some scrunchies; and with that, he was braiding the plush's mane and tail. 'If only I could this in reality, on the REAL Dashie', Soarin said, as he sighed happily.
