Lost now Found

Dash held the letter for a moment, stunned. She hadn't expected this at all. When Soarin had brought her to his house, she had thought that he was just looking to catch some tail but, it would appear he had the same feelings for her that she had for him. She reread the letter carefully, making sure she was understanding it correctly.

The letter rippled in the air as Dash flew at amazing speeds performing all of the stunts she could think of. She rolled and dove and banked around clouds as she flew with an enormous grin on her face. Her heart fluttered with giddiness while she flew, making her put extra gusto into her moves. She couldn't remember ever feeling this happy, and she didn't think that anything could've made her more ecstatic than this.

She banked into a helix dive pushing the letter to her chest and closing her eyes. She was finally going to get a relationship, and it was with her biggest crush of all time.

She approached the ground and landed in the middle of a field. She ran flailing her arms crazily and screaming with joy. After running a couple yards, she finally stopped and plopped down on the grass, breathing heavily from her ordeal. She laid back and admired the clouds as they went by. She thought of how this would change everything, how amazingly fantastic this would be, how she would finally have a pair of arms to crawl into. She let out a deep, happy sigh and kept her silly smile on her face.

She had never considered Soarin one for poetry, but his note was beautiful. It was free verse, much like her own works, and reminded her somewhat of things she might write. She read it once more and then folded it carefully and put it in her pocket. She checked her watch, got up, and ran into lift off eagerly in the direction of town.

Dash approached the boughs of the Library and landed on one, intent on spotting Soarin as he approached. She checked her watch and affirmed that it wasn't quite twelve yet. She started scanning the direction that Soarin would be headed from. Sure enough, she spotted him flying in, his windswept hair even more so now than it was normally.

This was it, she was finally going to fill the gap in her soul. She was going to attain the connection that she sought after every waking moment of her life. She stared at him from above as he landed and headed towards a bench right underneath her.

She dove downward towards her target, hell-bent on making an impression. When she was almost on top of him, she opened her wings to slow herself. Unfortunately for Dash, there was a stray limb near her left wing, which knocked into her and set her falling  faster. She didn't have time to stop so she just screamed a short warning at Soarin, who looked up in time to get a facefull of Dash.

She knocked him down and they both lay there for a moment while the dust settled. Dash winced and pushed herself onto her hands. She found herself situated on top of a bewildered and amazed Soarin.

"....Yes?" asked Soarin hopefully.

Dash planted a kiss on him in response.
