Revealing feelings to the captain

The newly joined wonderbolt members just wrapped up the aerial air show. Rainbow Dash cantered out of the Wonderbolts V.I.P area. When Spitfire noticed this, she trotted over to Rainbow.

"Hey Rainbow Dash, can I talk to you for a minute?" Spitfire said in a hushed voice so she and Rainbow could hear but nobody else could.

"Huh, what!?" Rainbow said quietly.

Spitfire traced Rainbow's eyes to a certain point to see a stallion. The stallion who was her ex-boyfriend. Though she wasn't jealous that Rainbow was fonding over him. She had been the one to break up with him, and he didn't really have feelings.

"Looking at Soarin, huh Rainbow?"

Rainbow looked shocked as much as she was embarrassed.

"What! N-no!" Rainbow yelled, and stuttering.

"Please Rainbow, I know that look. I had it first time I laid eyes on Soarin, until of course I broke up with him, but he's gotten over it,

I've seen him date other girls on tour, but he broke up with them, trust me, he doesn't like me." Spitfire said.

"You, and Soarin had a history?!" Rainbow yelled quiet enough so only her and Spit could hear.

Spitfire nodded.

"Yea, but maybe we should go out into the garden, it's empty, and," She coughed "Quieter." Spitfire said

Rainbow dash muted herself to hear the background noise and galloped to the garden. On her way she eye balled Soarin one last time.

"So..." Rainbow said.

"Rainbow dash, do you, or do you not have a crush on Soarin?" Spit yelled.

"U hum, Spitfire, I like him, but not THAT much." Rainbow said. "Besides, isn't there some sort of policy that wonderbolts can't be seeing each other because it distracts them from flying?" Rainbow continued.

"Well uh, no, that law was lifted." Spitfire said. "being the captain and all, I diminished this rule because A) I could see Soarin and B) too many amazing fliers were quitting because they weren't allowed to date the ones they love who were also wonderbolts, so, I lifted the rule and banished it longer than Celestia banished Sombra."

"Oh" Rainbow said. "So... it's ok if I admire Soarin?"

Spitfire returned a nod as a answer.

"Ok then." Rainbow said. "Well, this is awkward..."

Spitfire spoke up "Wanna get a meal after, I know this amazing place that gives wonerbolts half off, wanna join me?"

"Sure." Rainbow shrugged, flying next to the orange pegasus pony.

Soarin saw the two pegasi leave and thought to himself. I didn't even get to TALK to Rainbow..

The two wonderbolts landed in front of the local Hayburgers. Rainbow put on a confused look to the pegasus pony next to her. Spitfire got the message and walked inside, Rainbow following confused and unsure. The two ponies were shocked at how empty Hayburgers was, especially at this time. Spitfire walked up to the pony running the orders and cash register and spoke.

"Hmm, I'll get the garden salad, ranch dressing, and Rainbow what do you want?"

Rainbow replied with a simple "Same thing as you,"

"Ok then." said Spitfire "2 garden salads with ranch dressing."

"Is that all?" said the stand pony.

"That's all I want, Rainbow?"

"Hmm, maybe I'll have some soda."

The cash pony added that to the list.

"So, 2 garden salads with ranch dressing, and 1 bottle of soda, correct?" said the cash pony.

Spitfire gave a nod, and so did Rainbow. Before they knew it, there food was in front of them. Spitfire flashed their wonderbolt ID's in front of the cash pony's face, and, with a nod, the cash pony got the message.

"That'll be 6 bits." said the cash pony. Spitfire tossed the bits to her and walked out of the restaurant with Rainbow.

Both ponies ate their food while walking on the streets made out of cloud in cloudsdale. After a while, Rainbow spoke.

"I thought you said it was half off in that place!" Rainbow yelled out to Spitfire."

"It is, I showed her the ID's, it's originally 12 bits for that stuff." Spitfire replied. "Well Rainbow, I'm gonna hit the hay, good night, see you in the morning."

Spitfire called out before darting away towards her home. Rainbow dash let out a yawn.

"Guess it's time for me to hit the hay as well."

Celestia's morning sun rose over the land, causing Rainbow Dash to wake up quickly. Rainbow got out of bed, ate an apple, and darted towards the academy. She was the 10th out of 14 ponies to arrive, not bad, but not exactly good. She was REALLY excited for today because it was the day the colts and fillies from Junior Speedsters flight camp were coming. Rainbow was ecstatic about their visit because she was once in this camp, and she remembered as a young filly meeting a lovely wonderbolt here. That's what first clicked her to start going to their performances. and now, she wanted to share the feeling. Huh, maybe I'M the element on generosity she thought. She looked up towards the sky and saw a crowd of about 14 foals flying their way. Rainbow noticed one filly who was extremely fast, she wanted to mentor that one, but then she saw a filly who could barely keep her hooves off the ground, now, this reminded her of her friend Fluttershy when SHE was a filly, so now she wanted to mentor that one. Before she knew it, all her team members and all the Junior Speedsters were there. The instructor spoke up

"Now foals, find a mentor." Mrs.Speedsters said.

6 buddies flew over to Spitfire and 4 to Rainbow. So that left 4 foals and 12 team members. All the foals then let go of Rainbow and Spitfire to go find other members. The only 3 ponies who didn't have a foal were Rainbow, Soarin, and Misty Fly. Soarin found a colt who he mentored so now all that was left was Misty and Rainbow. Rainbow noticed the weak pegasus hiding behind Mrs.Speedsters. She approached her and introduced herself.

"Hi, my names.."

"Rainbow dash.." said the cyan blue eyed filly.

Rainbow looked shocked "You're a fan?"

The light green filly with yellow and violet hair looked up. "Mhm." "Possibly the biggest." "My name's Lightning Orchid."

"Well Lightning Orchid, how would YOU like me to be your mentor?"

Lightning Orchid burst into a smile "Really!?"

Rainbow nodded. The filly burst up excidedly.

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" Lightning burst out.

Rainbow chuckled. Like mentor like flyer. "So Lightning, let's get started on flapping your wings fast enough to fly higher and more stable."

Lightning smiled toward the rainbow maned wonderbolt and fluttered her wings. This would be the best day of the filly's life. Her saddlebag dropped showing off her cutie mark. 3 orchids with 1 lightning bolt on each orchid flower representing her name and her lightning quick ability to tend to gardens.

Author's Note

I really wanted to get a chance to write this. There will be more chapters, and this will be the first story towards a AU I am creating. Oh and BTW Lightning Orchid is one of my OC's, actually, it's my OC's (Harmonic Brush)'s younger sister.

Lightning gives advice

Lightning Orchid was getting better at flying. With Rainbow Dash as a mentor, she will sure to have improved.

"Wow Lightning, you are definitely improving at flying." Rainbow said.

"Thanks, with you as a mentor, I can't be happier." Lightning burst out.

Rainbow heard laughing and traced the noise to see 2 colts laughing amongst themselves. A dark red colt with white hair and a cutie mark of a wheel and a wing attached to it and a light blue colt with a navy mane who she recognized as Soarin. Lightning followed Rainbow's eyes toward the older colt and could obviously see that she liked him. Lightning tapped on rainbows head that snapped her out of her trance.

"Huh what?!" Rainbow yelled.

Lightning just chuckled "Can we continue now?"

"Sure kid" Rainbow said.

Rainbow dash taught Lightning how to glide properly, how to fly in a straight line, and how to do a few flips. It was time for lunch so the two pegasi headed inside the building. rainbow got a bowl of grape jelly and so did Lightning. The two finished their food very quickly, but silence still wasn't broken. That wasn't until Rainbow was staring at Soarin again.

Lightning caught onto this and spoke up.

"Staring at Soarin, huh?"

"W-What n-no I'm not!" rainbow stammered in reply.

"Please Rainbow, I know that look, why don't you just ask him out?" Orchid said in reply.

"What if he doesn't like me like that?" rainbow asked.

"Think of it this way Rainbow, your a bird, and Soarin is a seed that you want, if you don't fly in and take that seed, another bird is gonna get it eventually, then you'll be a hungry bird without a seed, does that help?" Lightning said.

"Yes but I already ate."

Lightning Orchid rolled her eyes. "If you don't take Soarin for yourself, you'll never have him, it's just how things work."

Rainbow Dash chuckled at her mistake "Oh, right."

The two pegasi burst out laughing. When they were supposed to go back to flying they were still laughing. Rainbow didn't look where she was going and bumped into something. That very something saw her bump into him and grabbed her before she could hit the ground.

"Rainbow Dash?" Soarin asked.

Rainbow Dash was so busy laughing she didn't realize that Soarin was holding her.

"Huh? What Happened?" Rainbow asked.

"You were so busy laughing you didn't realize you bumped into me." Soarin explained.

"Oh, well, um.." Rainbow began.

This is it Rainbow! Lightning though. Ask him out! Ask him out!

"Gotta go practice, right Lightning?"

Lightning just nodded in defeat and the 2 pegasi were off into the sky.

Why Rainbow, just, why? Lightning said to herself while she started taking off.

"Rainbow Dash! What was that! You had the perfect opportunity to ask Soarin out!" Lightning yelled once they were high enough so only her and Rainbow could hear.

"I know, Lightning, I know. I'm brave when I walk up to him, but once I look into those handsome green eyes, I feel like a filly over him." Rainbow realized what she said and then said "No offence about the filly thing."

"It's ok Rainbow, I know it's an expression." Lightning returned.

What Rainbow Dash and Lightning Orchid didn't know is that Soarin's colt had gone home early so he was listening to Rainbow and Lightning. He had heard that Rainbow Dash was brave when she walked up to him, but once she looked into his eyes, she felt like a filly over him.

Rainbow dash...likes...me? Soarin thought. A cute mare...likes...ME...of all people...ME! I would be the last person to expect a cute mare to fall for me, after all, Spitfire isn't that cute, I'm glad she dumped me. Soarin thought as he continued to listen to Rainbow and Lightning.

"Rainbow Dash, you have to tell him eventually! After all, your shades can't hide feelings." Lightning exclaimed.

"You're right Lightning, I will tell him, I just don't know when! He's the cutest stallion I've ever met, and, I'm actually surprised I'm saying this, but, I love him. I love Soarin." Rainbow said.

When Soarin heard this, his jaw was hanging open, and that thought rang in his head. I love him, I love Soarin..I love him, I love Soarin.. All he could think about is Rainbow dash, her cute mane, her awesome cutie mark, not that he had been staring at her flank, her beautiful moderate cerise eyes, and her awesome tom-boyish like ways. Before anyone knew it, rainbow dash sneezed.

"Huh, that was weird." Rainbow said.

"Why is that weird?" Lightning asked.

"When a pony or thing thinks of you, you sneeze." Rainbow said.

"Oh, that's weird." Lightning said

"I know right."

The two burst out laughing while Soarin's cheeks turned a crimson behind them without him knowing.

Just a little longer, then I'll confess my feelings for Rainbow Dash, just a little longer... Soarin thought.

Author's Note

Shades can't hide feelings was the name of one of my Fics, until i deleted it and made this, so, I incorporated the name into this chapter!
I wanted to write about Lightning giving Rainbow some advice because I wanted to give her an important role in this fic, so TADA! And yes, I have a theory in equestria that when something thinks of you, you sneeze, just came to me.

Soarin over the Rainbow

Rainbow Dash waved goodbye to her Junior Speedsters student Lightning Orchid. Rainbow turned around and touched her nose against Soarin's nose. When she noticed this, her cheeks blushed rose.

"Oops, sorry Soarin." Rainbow said.

"It's ok, I'm fine with it." Soarin said. "Uh, that's not what I meant." he said blushing.

Rainbow Dash wanted to confess her feelings there and now, she pulled her nose away and looked at Soarin. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She cleared her throat and began speaking.

"Soarin I....I.." she began.

"I really like you too Rainbow." Soarin said finishing the sentence.

Rainbow stood there, trying to process what the stallion had just said. Had he really just said that he liked her. What Rainbow felt, is something she had never felt before. It was love. Rainbow Dash just stood there for a minute. She threw her hooves around Soarin. Soarin was shocked at first, but he put his hooves around Rainbow Dash. Spitfire was watching from afar. She didn't feel a shred of jealously. She felt happy for the 2.

"So..." Soarin began. "Wanna go, on a date sometime?"

Rainbow was shocked at this question. She had never really be interested in colts or stallions. This was different, she liked Soarin, a lot, but she also felt a little bad. She knew Soarin once had a thing for Spitfire, but he had once dated Twilight when they were younger. Rainbow dash remembered being jealous that day. Rainbow Dash remembered her thoughts on the present.

"Of course I would." Rainbow said.

The day was over and all the wonderbolts were all going home. Rainbow Dash ran up to Soarin and asked where they were going.

"It's a surprise, just don't dress very fancy, be yourself." Soarin said. "I'll pick you up by sundown."

"Ok Soarin, see you then." Rainbow said.

Rainbow dash then took to the skies. She flew down from Cloudsdale to visit her friend Rarity. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door of the carousel boutique. Rainbow Dash was greeted by a white unicorn with a fancy purple mane perfectly curled on her back. The same went for her tail.

"Oh hello Rainbow dash! Why, it's been a long time since I've seen you, how are the wonderbolts going for you?" Rarity asked.

"They're going fine, can I come in?" Rainbow said in reply.

"Oh please do." Rarity said using the magic to open the door for R.D. "Would you like some tea?"

"Sure, hey Rarity, do you know anything about dates?" Rainbow asked.

Rarity dropped her teapot from the magic. "Dates? ooh I love dates, do you need attire? Maybe an ensemble?" Rarity kept ranting on.

"No, I just need advice, since your dating Fancy Pants maybe you know something about relationships."

"Well duh I know stuff about ships, who is the stallion or is it a mare?"

"No it's not a mare, it's Soarin."

"That guy in the wonderbolts?"

"Yes the guy in the wonderbolts! He asked me out today!"

"When are you going on your date?"

"Tonight at sundown."

"Tonight at SUNDOWN?! Sundown is in 10 minutes! You've been here too long Rainbow, we need to get you ready."

"But he said to be myself and not dress up."

"So don't, but run a comb through your mane and tail, you'll still be yourself, just with a softer mane."

"Ok, I guess it can't hurt."

Rarity started combing but hit a huge knot within 1 second. She combed furiously to get it out.

"OWWW! I guess it can hurt!" Rainbow Dash yelled out.

4 minutes later

"Ok your done darling." Rarity said.

"Thank you, now I only got 6 minutes, gotta speed."

Rainbow Dash took to the skies and got to her home. She freshened up her face with some water. She heard a knock at her door and opened it. Standing there was the light blue stallion. The stallion couldn't believe he was looking at Rainbow Dash, the moonlight really captured her beauty.

"Where are we off to tonight?" Rainbow asked.

"You'll see. Follow me now Rainbow." Soarin said flying into the sky.

Rainbow followed Soarin into a park. Soarin sat on the grass and Rainbow did the same.

"So what's so special about this place?" Rainbow asked.

"You'll see." Soarin said with the push of a giant green button.

Before Rainbow Dash's eyes could blink, there was a rainbow coloured waterfall, with a little bit of mist and flowers.

"I made it just for you Rainbow."

"Its.. it's beautiful Soarin, but, why, why all for me?"

"Because your awesome, cool, your adventurous, and..pretty." Soarin said. "I wanted just as special as you." He finished.

Realizing what he had just said, in his heart, which he wanted to say for a while, his cheeks grew crimson. Rainbow saw his blushed cheeks and admitted he was pretty cute. Soarin folded his wing around Rainbow Dash. Before he knew it, Rainbow pulled his face to hers, so their lips could meet. Soarin was shocked, for this was the pegasus that didn't like all this romance and valentine stuff. Soarin then closed his eyes and slipped blissfully into the kiss. He wrapped his hooves around Rainbow Dash's waist. When Rainbow pulled away he could see Soarin smiling like an idiot.

"That was..." Rainbow began.

"Magical.." Soarin finished.

The two looked up at each other. They both looked at each other for about a minute before talking. Silence was broken by Rainbow Dash.

"So are we a couple now?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I can only hope." Soarin replied.

The stars shone brightly and were accompanied by Luna's shining moon.

"The stars are beautiful tonight, aren't they Soarin?"

"Their beautiful, but not as beautiful as you Rainbow Dash."

"Oh you, stop it."

The two lovepegasi looked at each other. Rainbow Dash nuzzled Soarin in the chest. Soarin wrapped his wing around Rainbow Dash. The two stayed there underneath Luna's beautiful night. Soarin still lay awake. Rainbow dash was out like a candle on a windy day. He could hear Rainbow snoring.

"Even her snoring is beautiful."

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

"Like I said...beautiful.."

"ZZZZZZZZZ"

"Ok, maybe not THAT beautiful."

"ZZZZ"

"Goodnight Rainbow."

"ZZZZZ"

And the 2 pegasi lay there as night blissfully ended and the sun shone over. Soarin lay there with Rainbow, they had time off today, the team didn't meet at the academy until lunch ended, which was at 12:30 pm. Sunrise was lovely, as was Rainbow Dash, in some ponies eyes, she was a pony who sucked, in Soarin's eyes, she was prettier than day or night, and she was like a queen.

Author's Note

Before the haters come on NO I DON'T LIKE SOARLIGHT! I personally think Soarlight is the worst ship ever, and this is the longest chapter I wrote. And no, RD isn't my favourite pony, that belongs to Applejack.

Breaking it to everypony

"Hey, Rainbow Daaaaaaash! Wake up already!" Soarin yelled at Rainbow Dash to get up. "Were gonna be late!"

"I'M UP! AND I'M READY!"

"Now that's the girl I know and...love..."

"Oh you." Rainbow said as she blushed.

"Now let's get going, don't wanna be late."

The two took off to the skies. Rainbow Dash had a question nagging her mind.

"Um, Soarin.."

"Yes?"

"Are we gonna tell people about....you know...us?"

Soarin's nod was enough to get Rainbow Dash nervous.

"But what about Twilight? She's my friend. How will she take the fact that I'm dating the stallion she STILL loves." Rainbow yelled out.

Rainbow just realized what she said and covered her mouth. Rainbow knew for a fact that covering her mouth didn't change the fact that Soarin still heard it. For she knew that Twilight still loved Soarin, so how would she tell her friend she was dating the stallion that her friend loved.

"That's not what I meant and I'm........Soarin?"

Rainbow scanned the sky for Soarin to see if he was anywhere in sight. She looked up and she looked down, desperately trying to find her coltfriend.

"Soarin? Soarin?! If this is a joke it certaintly isn't funny! Rainbow yelled scanning the skies for him.

"What if!- Oh NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Rainbow yelled out dive bombing towards the ground looking for Soarin and creating a sonic rainboom.

Meanwhile...

Soarin was looking all over for Rainbow Dash. He looked around around and suddenly...BOOM! There was a sonic boom and a rainbow at once. A sonic rainboom! Soarin only knew one mare in Equestria who could do that, and she was his marefriend. Soarin bolted toward boom and the giant rainbow trail it was leaving, for that was Rainbow Dash's trail. He broke into a very fast fly as he called out for her.

"Rainbow! Rainbow! RAINBOW DASH! I'M HERE!" Soarin repeatability yelled out. Rainbow jolted her head into the direction of the colt flying towards to her. It was Soarin.

"Soarin!"

"We gotta go tell the ponies at the academy about that, and us!" Soarin yelled.

"Agreed! Let's go!" Rainbow yelled as the lovepegasi flew off.

When Rainbow Dash and Soarin arrived at the academy crowds of pegasi surrounded her.

"Woo! Cool sonic rainboom Rainbow Dash!" Lightning Streak told her "How about we celebrate with a cool dinner, it's on me." This time, Lightning leaned out for a kiss only to have Rainbow shove him away.

"No thanks dude, I'm taken."

Rainbow Dash looked over to see Soarin mentally strangling Lightning. Rainbow Dash put her arm around Soarin's neck to hug him and calm him down. Lightning though very full of anger, as he usually got the coolest girl, than dumped her a week later, still wanted Rainbow Dash. So he yelled out in anger.

"Your dating THAT loser!"

Everyone at the academy gasped, Soarin and Rainbow Dash being the most shocked, and the others being shocked that they were dating, except for Spitfire.

"Maybe I am, ok, I am, so what, you got a problem with that?!"

"And what if I do?!"

"Then you can take that problem and get rid of it!"

"Or you can leave the academy Lightning Streak!" said a very angry Spitfire.

All the academy members looked shocked, but not as shocked at Lightning Streak was. For Lightning was one of the best pegasi on the team.

"But Spitfire he's one of the best-" Fire streak began but couldn't finish due to Spitfire shooting him an angry glare.

"Do I need an opinion out of you Fire?"

"No ma'am."

"That's what I thought." Spitfire said turning to Lightning. "Being a wonderbolt isn't only being about the best or fastest fliers, it's about getting along with a team, and teamwork, you Lightning Streak, have proved that your EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT!" Spitfire snatched his wonderbolt ID away from him and pointed him away from the academy. She turned to Rainbow Dash.

"You have something you wanna tell us Rainbow?"

"Um, I, um, Soarin, you tell em!" She said shoving Soarin in front of her.

Soarin sighed. "Ok fine. Me and Rainbow Dash are a couple now."

First the team members just stood there with stone faces on. Then they all started clapping their hooves as loud as possible and started cheering for the new couple.

"Their taking it better than I thought." Rainbow dash whispered to Soarin.

The day at the academy was over. Rainbow Dash flew to Soarin.

"Hey Soarin."

"Hey Rainbow."

"I'm gonna go break the news to my friends, except for Twilight, she's in Canterlot, and actually, it's kinda good cause she's the one who will take it the hardest, considering she still likes you and I'm her best friend."

"I get it, ok Rainbow, just meet me at your house at 6:00 pm."

"Gotcha, catch you later Soarin!"

"Bye!"

Rainbow Dash was about to land at her friends picnic when she checked how much time she had.

"Ok it's almost 3:00, that gives me about 3 hours."

Rainbow Dash swooped down towards hey friends.

"Hey guys!"

The rest of the girls shot their heads up excitement, for they knew only one mare that had that voice.

"RAINBOW DASH!" They all shouted in unison.

"DASHIE! YOU CAME!" Pinkie Pie yelled out.

"Mhm, and I've got news."

Rainbow Dash sat down with her friends. She picked up a sandwich and ate it.

"So Rainbow Dash, what is this...news?"

"Ok, me, and Soarin are-"

Pinkie Pie couldn't hold it in and hushed Rainbow Dash. "Your dating a guy in the wonderbolts which is light blue and has a navy mane I think his name is Soarin but you wanted to tell us here because you know Twilight has a history with him and if you tell Twiight she'll like TOTALLY FLIP OUT! So you decided to tell US and you didn't want us telling Twilight. Am I right?"

Rainbow Dash stood there with her jaw open in shock.

"How did you know all that?" Rainbow asked out of shock and curiosity.

"Just a hunch!" :pinkiehappy:

"Oh I should have remembered." Rainbow muttered under her breath. "It's Pinkie Pie."

"Did you say something darling?" Rarity asked

"What, no nothing Rarity."

"Ok, if you say so Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash looked around Ponyville eating her sandwiches. She found a florist stand where Junebug was behind the counter.

"Rainbow Dash are y'all ok?"

"Oh, I'm fine Applejack."

"Ok."

Rainbow kept staring at her favourite daffodils mixed with the prettiest lavenders she's ever seen. In the bouquet there were rainbow coloured petals like the ones Discord gave Celestia a while ago. Behind Rainbow Dash were 4 of her friends.

"Whaddya suppose is wrong with RD?" Applejack asked.

"No clue, pinkie pie?" Rarity asked.

"Nope :pinkiehappy:"

"Well whatever it is we gotta get to the bottom of it." Applejack said and then bit into one of granny smiths famous Apple-spice muffins.

The 3 bickered back and forth but Rainbow didn't notice. Fluttershy, on the other hand, knew exactly what was going on with Rainbow.

"Guys...guys....GUYS!" Fluttershy yelled.

She yelled loud enough so she could get the attention of the 3 but not so loud that she got Rainbow Dash out of her trance.

"Rainbow Dash is simply in love, she's either fantasizing about her special somepony or she's looking at something that reminds her of her coltfriend." Fluttershy calmly said.

"Wow Fluttershy darling, I knew so much about love with Fancy Pants, but how did you know about that?" Rarity asked.

"Simple, I know about it cause it happens when I think about Discor..."

"DISCORD?!" Rarity and Applejack yelled in unison.

"I'm howling at the moon!" Pinkie sang. "And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon!"

"Pinkie, stop singin, that, actually rather catchy song." Applejack said. "But still, your dating Discord?!"

Fluttershy nodded her head shyly.

"Why didn't ya tell us?"

"I was scared:fluttershysad:."

"Applejack stop, your scaring the pony." rarity cut in. "Love is love."

Applejack just spat on the ground.

"Well it's 4:30, I better get going. I have some new designs to work on."

Rainbow Dash kept staring at the flowers. She saw Soarin. Wait SOARIN?! He was approaching the florists. He obviously didn't notice her. He grabbed the bouquet Rainbow was looking at. He went to the cash pony and paid. She snapped back to reality and kept talking to her friends.

Rainbow Dash caught a glimpse of the time at Ponyville tower. 5:30...

"Hey guys, I gotta speed."

"Bye Rainbow." Applejack said.

"Ooh BYE DASHIE :pinkiehappy:!" Pinkie yelled out before tackling her with a hug.

Rainbow Dash chuckled before flying off to her home. 12 minutes after she got home Soarin knocked on the door.

"Hey Soarin."

"Hey Rainbow."

"I brought you these." Soarin said. He presented the bouquet that R.D was previously looking at.

"It's..it's...."

"I know your really not one for flowers, but I know daffodils and lavenders, are your favourite flowers, and these Rainbow coloured petals reminded me of you and when I saw them-"

He was cut off when Rainbow's lips met his. Rainbow chuckled.

"Now I know the nice way to shut you up."

"Oh Rainbow, do you want the flowers or not."

"Oh I'm taking the gift!"

The two lovepegasi walked inside Rainbow's house. Rainbow Dash hoped the night could last forever.

Author's Note

Multi coloured words are EXTREMELY HARD!
I actually researched a list of wonderbolts to find some of the names in here.

4 years later

Rainbow Dash sproing up with excitement. It was her and Soarin's 4 year anniversary. Ooh, I know Soarin, and he's got something planned. Lucky today is the wonderbolts month off. Surely if on cue, Rainbow Dash heard violin music. She ran outside and saw Soarin with a bouquet of the daffodils lavender rainbow petal flowers. Rainbow Dash gasped.

"You got my favourite flowers?! Soarin you are the best coltfriend in the HISTORY of coltfriends!"

"Well I don't know if I'm that good..."

"Are you kidding, you got my favourite flowers, AND you remembered our anniversary! I am so lucky to have you as my coltfriend!"

"Well maybe..."

Soarin's train of thought left the station was he was kissed by the mare of his dreams.

"Rain."

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Soarin, and I also love that nickname."

Soarin grinned at her saying that.

"Hey Rainbow Dash,"

"Yes?"

"Let's go to Cloudsdale."

"Ok." Rainbow said as she grinned.

"There's a new restaurant opening and I wanna take you."

"In the morning?"

"No silly filly, we'll go to Cloudsdale, spend the day all around, and then around 6:00 pm, we'll go to dinner."

"Ok!"

The two flew off. They went to the hat shop, caught up with Spitfire at the academy for a minute, they went to the weather factory, to the snow centre, cloud centre, rainbow centre, and rain centre.

"Well Soarin, this has been fun, are we going to that restaurant now, its 5:51, we should be going."

"Of course, Rain."

Rainbow chuckled. "I love that nickname, but not as much as I love you."

"Ok Rain, let's go."

Rainbow Dash gasped at the sight of the restaurant.

"It's..it's...it's..AMAZING!"

"Isn't it, I got it made for you."

In front of her eyes was a restaurant called The Rainboom.

"I hope you like it."

"Oh Soarin."

"Well." He said holding out his hoof. "Milady, shall we?"

Rainbow took his hoof. "We shall."

They chuckled as they returned back to their regular personalities.

"It's actually just a picnic, but I wanted to make it extra special."

"Soarin, you do so much around here. I feel bad that I barely do anything."

"Rain, your kidding me, you are perfect just the way you are. I don't need you to do anything special to tell me that you love me, I know it already. Zap apple sandwich?"

"Sure!"

The two lovepegasi spent an hour there at the picnic.

"Oh one more thing Rain.

"Yes?"

"Meet me at the waterfall, the one I made for you, in 30 minutes."

"Okay."

Rainbow Dash plopped down on her bed.

What is he planning...?

Soarin sped toward the jewellery store. He had placed an order for a rainbow- coloured diamond 2 months ago. He got a call yesterday saying it was ready.

"Hello?"

"Yes Soarin? Here is the diamond, and, I put it in a rainbow case, no charge."

"Perfect, oh here are your bits." Soarin said tossing a bag of 200 bits, a little expensive, but she deserved the best."

Now to get my tux..

He zoomed over to the tailor.

"Is my tux ready."

"Here you go Soarin, 45 bits price."

Without hesitation Soarin tossed the bits.

"Thank you Mr.Stitch."

"Anytime Soarin!"

Now to the wonderbolts academy.

"No problem, I'll get Fire Streak, Misty Fly, Silver lining, and wave chill to help."

"Thanks Spits!"

"No prob, just signal me with a wave of a hoof when you want us to do it."

"Ok, well gotta speed, see you there."

"Bye!"

He checked the clock, 4 minutes left. He strapped the tux on as quick as possible and zoomed toward the park. He pressed the button and the waterfall perked up, and he decorated with special hearts, rainbow coloured with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark in them.

I hope she likes it.

Soarin saw Rainbow Dash flying from ahead. He gestured her to stand next to him.

"Soarin, what did you do this time?"

"Something special."

"Ooh."

"Where do I begin."

"By talking."

"Right."

Soarin breathed in and took a deep breath.

"Rainbow Dash, ever since I fell in love with you, my feelings only grew stronger, and every time I kiss you or you kiss me, I fall in love with you all over again. If it weren't for you, I would not be where I am today, you make me a better flier, you are the reason I wake up in the morning, I guess what I'm saying is.." He waved his hoof at Spitfire and she signalled the rest of the team. Rainbow Dash looked up at the clouds to see them. They spelt the words Will you marry me Rainbow Dash?

Rainbow Dash looked down to see Soarin get out a Rainbow-coloured box that he opened to show a rainbow-coloured diamond ring.

"Well Rainbow Dash, Will you marry me?"

"Oh Soarin, Of course I will...YES YES YES!!!"

"I'm happy to hear you say that..HEY SPITS! I GOT A YES HERE!"

"Congrats Soarin!" Spitfire yelled back while Misty wooed and the others stomped in happiness.

"Rainbow Dash jumped into Soarin's arms and kissed him smack on the lips.

Now what would their wedding be like..?

"Bye Soarin, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye Rainbow Dash!"

The cyan pegasus turned around to face a purple alicorn.

"Something you wanna tell me, Rainbow, or should I say, Soarin's girlfriend?"

"Well you figured it out gotta speed!"

The alicorn used her magic to stop the pegasus from flying away.

"Not so fast dash."

"Uh oh." Rainbow said under her breath.

"You, ARE DATING SOARIN?!" Twilight yelled. "I thought you were my friend!"

Drama queen... Rainbow thought. "Listen Twilight, Soarin is the only stallion I've ever fallen in love with, you have that crystal pegasus guard, you know, the one with blue hair?"

"Oh my gosh! I forgot about Flash!" Twilight thought aloud. "Flash?!"

"Yes, your highness."

"Can you get me a strawberry shake from Hayburgers, here's the bits for it." Twilight said tossing him the gold coins.

"Oh, of course." Flash said sadly as he flew off.

"Wasn't there also silver bits or something?"

"Yea, but those are the bit currency for Cloudsdale only."

"Oh."

"Now BACK TO SOARIN!"

"Why don't you just, go out with FLASH!"

"I suppose that could work, if he could just HURRY UP WITH MY SHAKE!"
As if on cue, Flash showed up with the shake in his hoof.

"Sorry your majesty, there were 2 foals in front of me deciding between the Hayburger or the Oatburger."

"We shall bring them here and SCOWL THEM!" Twilight yelled.

"Oh I know something worse!" Rainbow said attracting the attention of both ponies "LECTURE THEM!"

"PERFECT!"

"Or maybe we could leave them alone?" Flash suggested.

"Eh, why not?" Twilight said. "So Flash, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to, go on a date, maybe."

"Sure your highn- I mean, sure Twilight!"

Well she's taking the whole me and Soarin thing really well Rainbow thought.

Twilight chuckled. "Let's go!"

Rainbow Dash flapped her wings toward Soarin.

"So how did it go?" He nervously asked.

"Better than I expected." She replied. "She's going out with Flash Sentry now."

"Phew, now she won't hate you."

The two laughed amongst each other.

"But seriously Soarin, why did you start going out with Twilight in the first place?"

"So I," He blushed "Could get closer to you."

Rainbow Dash was surprised with this.

"R-really?"

"Yea, I've been in love with you since the gala."

"Y-you h-h-ha-have?"

"Why are you stuttering?"

"I-I'm not stu-stuttering."

"Of course you are."

"So what if I am?"

"It's cute."

"It is?"

"Yes. Now come on Rain, why don't WE go somewhere, ALONE?"

Rainbow chuckled. "That sounds good to me."
And so the two lovepegasi started off into the sunset.
