Fire and Ice Don't Mix
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow was officially having the best time of her life. Almost. Her friends were finally able to attend a Wonderbolt performance with her, she didn't have to travel to another town for a show for once. All in all it was the best thing that she could hope for. Rainbow glanced at her friends who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Good. She wouldn't have wasted five tickets then, she had wanted to surprise them by buying them tickets and making them promise that they would come. And her friends are doing just great, Pinkie was chatting away like the world was about to end tomorrow and she had to get as many words as possible before then(no surprise there) Rarity was marveling at how plush and regal the chairs looked(typical) Applejack and Fluttershy were making small talk(yup) and Twilight was reading a book about stunt flying and aerodynamics' and angles, gravity, momentum blah,blah,blah,blah(I still cant figure out how she doesn't fall asleep reading all that egghead stuff).Dash chuckled, knowing all too well that if she said that aloud she would a lecture that'll bore her to death... and ,maybe a couple thousand more people heh. Black shadowy figures lurking near the top row of chairs caught her attention, Dash could only make out their eyes which were startling bright gold. Rainbow knew some ponies who had the same eye color but for some reason they unnerved her, in fact Rainbow felt like she was being watched, that sent a shudder running through her. Dash's head like it was about to explode all of a sudden. The pain behind her eyes was rapidly intensifying. It was all too much to bear, her eyes squeezed shut. Aargh! What the hay is going on? Okay this was officially uncool. Rainbow felt a hoof on her shoulder and opened her eyes to find a concerned Rarity speaking to her but Dash couldn't hear her. She read Rarity's lips and was able to make out, ''Are you alright?''. Rainbow was about to answer when she felt the pain ebb away slowly. She took a deep breath and flashed Rarity a small smile that she hoped says; Sure, I'm cool Rares! which would have been easy to pull she off in regular circumstances, but she guessed that this sudden weird headache that came out of nowhere except when she spotted those two.....uh whoever they are, so her 'smile' probably said something like: No I'm not fine I have a really big headache that seemingly came out of nowhere.
''Rainbow Dash, darling do please tell me what's wrong, you seem to have gone a bit pale dear. Trust me, it doesn't do your complexion any good sweetie.'' Rarity looked over to Rainbow with concern for her friend carved into her elegant features. Rainbow managed to gulp and flash her a smile.
''Yeah,yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine? I'm Rainbow Dash the awesomest Pegasus in Equestria remember?'' Rainbow said a proud blue hoof held out and a confident smile plastered on her cyan face. Rarity managed to not roll her eyes...well barely. By now the rest of the gang had leaned in closer to see what was going on. Rarity opened her mouth to argue but to Dash's immense relief Applejack came to her rescue, kind of.
'' Aw shucks Rarity, she's dandy an' all, 'sides she's gonna be making those love-sick faces you be makin' at every single stallion in Canterlot at Soarin. Right Rainbow?'' Applejack said with a matter-of-factly smirk playing on her lips. This earned her two glares coming from Rarity and Dash. Applejack burst out laughing that brought over Pinkie who naturally starting moving her pink mouth as fast as ever. Rainbow groaned,'This is gonna be a long night'.

Spitfire shrugged the two strangers off 'Meh, probably just a couple of friends meeting up and chatting' she snorted 'what was I even worried about'. A couple feet over Soarin had noticed the two strangers as well. His head started to pound for no apparent reason, seeing as he felt perfectly fine a couple moments before. His eyesight went a little fuzzy and Soarin shook his head trying to rid himself of the pain that continued to grow until it reached an unbearable point. He felt as if fire had suddenly cut through his brain, after a few moments the pain eased.Soarin sighed in relief and rubbed his temples. 'That was.....really weird'. Fortunately, or not Spitfire didn't notice his little...scenario. A horn sounded, signaling the beginning of the show. Soarin and the rest of his teammates launched into the air and that's when things went very,very wrong.
