Honey!

"Rainbow, are you sure about this?"

"Of course Soarin! Don't be such a baby. We're ten now! We can do this!"

"What if we get our faces messed up?"

"Well, you can get a new one."

"Fine."

The two foals were standing hiding in a nearby bush, feet away from from a dark and deep bear cave. They were in Ponyville because there were not many animals in Cloudsdale, except for ducks. (Yes, ducks) It was Rainbow's idea to mess with the animal, and finding a way to keep it. She wanted an unusual pet to keep her awesomeness level on point.When Rainbow brought the idea up to Soarin, he thought it was the stupidest idea ever. Like who would be able to catch a bear?

Just as he was afraid of squierrls, he was terrified of bears too. In the end, Rainbow was able to convince him by her "convincing methods".
(Which were only making the biggest puppy eyes actually)

And then he peed on himself, again.

"Do you have the honey?"

"Yes."

"The 'Awesomeness Catching Device 500'?"

Soarin took out a sorry little yellow butterfly net out of Rainbow's backpack, and gave her a confused look.

"Why are we using this net? You know this is not getting you a bear. It's head might not even fit! That's why it's called a butterfly net" He explained.

Dash smiled dangerously. "I want to do this the extreme way..." Soarin looked at her, clearly not amused.

"That's dumb. And one more thing." He took out the honey and showed it to her.

"My mom told me that bears like strawberry jam, not honey. We should've brought that instead."

Dash looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "In what planet do you live in Soarin? My dad told me that bears love honey, not silly strawberry jam. Plus, it's beeeetteeeerrr", she taunted.

"It's not!"

"It's too!"

"NOT!"

"TOO!"

"Ugh, you know what Soarin?" she said, breaking up the silly argument, "just keep on dreamin'. But for now, let's go catch us a bear!" Soarin just glared at her and huffed.

"Whatever."

Rainbow took the honey and came out of the bushes. She quietly went to the entrance of the cave and gently place the honey on the ground. She ran to their hiding place, grabbed the "Awesomeness Catching Device 500', and started waiting for the bear to come out.

Then Soarin started talking.

"Rainbow, I don't think the bear is awake right now. I think he's hibernating."

Rainbow rolled her eyes and decided to ignore Soarin rant about bears hibernating. It was clearly summer, and she knew that bears hibernate in the winter and wake up in the spring. But again, it was Soarin. She heard a grunting noise....

"And there's the life cycle. Bears live throught that you know? Did you know t-" He was interrupted by Rainbow's stuffing her hoof in his mouth.

"Did you hear that?" she whispered.

He shook his head, his face now terrified. They both stared with wide eyes at the brown bear emerging from the cave , it's eyes on the honey. Dash took her hoof out of Soarin's mouth, and silently squeeled. She had a bear! She can now feed it fish, play fetch, and be best friends forever along with Soarin! Dash gripped the net tightly with a look of determination on her face, ready to claim her prize.

But Soarin did not share the same happy feeling.

"MMMOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYY!!!!!!!!" He screamed out, and took off running to the woods. Dash groaned and complained out loud. "SOARIN YOU BIG DUMMY!!! WERE SUPPOUSED TO DO THIS TOGETHER!!!"

"RRRRRRAAAAWWWWRRRRRRR!!!!"

Dash knew this was not a good sign. She looked back at the bear and saw that it's attention was not on the honey anymore, but on her. It started walking slowly towards her, as if warning her to leave it alone. Dash's eyes widened and she dropped the net. She wanted to run, but her legs wouldnt obey. Her eyes on it's glowing yellow pupils and sharp teeth. But now the bear wanst palying now, for it was running.

Now she had to run.

She broke her daze and took off to the woods, like Soarin did. She could feel that the bear was right behind her, it's footsteps loud beneath the dirt.

"SOARIN!!!!!!"

She screamed his name, hoping that he could her. She didnt hear a response. He was gone now, not caring that she was being chased by a bear. What kind of best friend was he? A few tears escaped her eyes. Her legs were giving out on her, but she kept on running. She heard it grunting and panting, like running was it's thing.

"RAINBOW!!??"

Her ears twitched. That was Soarin! He didnt forget her! She smiled a bit, keeping up her speed. She could outrun this thing now!

Wait..

What?!

What was she doing? For Celestia's sake, she could fly! She was too scared and she forgot! Dash opened her little wings and took off in the air, dodging a few branches. She stopped when she was high up in the air, above the forest. The bear was now confused to where she went, but it started walking home anyway. She sighed in relief, and started flying north.

Dash saw a blue blur in the distance, thinking that it was a bird. She squinted her eyes, trying to make out what it really was. Her eyes widened. Rainbow realized who it was, and started flying full speed towards it.

"SOARIN!"

"RAINBOW!"

They collided in one big hug, grateful that they found each other. They released the embrance and smiled.

"Soarin! Why did you leave me? You know that that bear could've been our new best friend! And you just ditched me!" she smelled something weird in his coat "Ewww!!! Soarin, did you pee on yourself again? You know that's gross!" She said while covering her nose.
Soarin blushed and smiled nervously."Ummmm... stuff happens! And I really sorry that I left you. I called your name and thought that you would fly but you didnt. Anyways, why did you run? You know you had wings!"

"And about the bear Dash," he added, " you know it could'nt be our friend! It's a wild animal Rainbow! You know that!"

Her ears flopped down and spoke in a dejected tone. "I'm really sorry Soar. It was a dumb idea from the start. As much as i wanted that bear, I couldnt have it. I almost got myself eaten!"

"Why didnt you fly?" Soarin asked again.

Dash groaned. " I was too scared and forgot. That was relly dumb of me..."

Soarin put a hoof on her shoulder, still mantaining his altitude. "It's okay Rainbow Dash! You're not dumb! Everyone needs a little excitement in their lives. You were just scared that's all. C'mon, let's go to the park, it's still early!"

Dash smiled. She was lucky to have him as a best friend.

They started flying at a slow pace to Cloudsdale, where their favorite park was.

Soarin asked, breaking the silence. " Did the bear even eat the honey?"

"Hmmmm... I think so. After he stopped chasing me, I saw him go back to his cave, after all."

Soarin smiled. " C'mon! Race you to the park!"

He flew off, leaving Rainbow behind.

"Hey! No fair! Come back here, you cheater!"

She giggled and chased after him, leaving dust behind her.
