A Change Of Pace

Rainbow Dash lay on her cloud, casually gazing at the the cloudy sky. She'd done a good job today, cleared the sky, and been able to finish with enough time to get ready and go to Twilight's Wedding.

The wedding was stunning, the unicorn had managed to get all three princesses to come, along with her brother, Shining Armour. Rainbow Dash was also asked to peform a Sonic Rainboom at the end oth the wedding, this was her favourite part of the day. Twilight had been dating the stallion for two years now, and had been engaged for one. The colt's name was Myth, he had a dark red coat with a white and blue tinted mane. Dash remembered when he had proposed. Myth had given Twilight a bangle which looked like it had pure magic flowing through, AND it was diamond encrusted.

Show Off.

What really made Dash think though, was the fact all of her friends had a coltfriend to go with. She was the only one who was still a single mare out of the group. She grabbed part of the fluffy, white cloud she was lying on and pulled it off. The pegasus held it between her hooves, and began just fiddling with it, like a foal with plastercine. Dash let out a long sigh, after being taken into The Wonderbolts not but a year ago, things have really been stressful. She could not go anywhere without tons of fans crowding her, and as well as peforming, she was specially asked by the weather control of Ponyville to stay on board for increased pay. Why diddn't I say no? Dash turned over in her box-like cloud. As she just was beginning to drift off, Dash heard the voice of a particular pink earth pony.

"Dashie? Dashie? Where are you?" Pinkie Pie called, bouncing with excitement.

"What do you want Pinkie?" Dash did not move from her relaxed spot, but simply called from the cloud she was upon.

"There's a congratulations party going on at the town hall! Everypony is there!" Pinkie Pie continued to bounce in the park, directly under the cloud  where the cyan mare lay.

Great. Another chance for me to feel alone. Dash closed her eyes and wished the party pony away, but of course Pinkie was persistant, and wouldn't leave without an answer.

"Uh, I think I'll pass, I'm not feeling to great right now!" Damn, She'll never believe that! I suck at lying...

"Hmmmm..." Pinkie frowned, determining whether her friend was lying. "Okey Dokey! I'll give them your congratz! Bye Dashie!" Pinkie Pie bounced off, once again smiling. Dash let out a sigh of relief. After the events of today, she just wanted to sleep and escape from the world around her.

Dash got up, she had not slept, just simply looked up at the stars as they all gradually appeared and shone their magnificent light. Luna had really done a good job tonight. She peered over the edges of the cloud box, nopony was around... maybe now she could go fly for a bit, without the disturbance of fans. Rainbow Dash jumped out her box and began to fly outwards, trying to avoid the town sqaure, where lights and songs were still engulfing the area. Wow, This must be the biggest party Pinkie has done. I feel kinda guilty now... Rainbow Dash continued to fly forwards, while still looking the other way and diddn't notice the figure flying full speed in her direction.

"LOOK OUT!!"

"Wha-"

The two pegasi crashed into eachother, sending both of them into a spiral and hitting the grass with a thud. Rainbow Dash scuttled to her hooves, and glared at the pony that had just collided with her.

"Hey, You, Watch where you're going! You could've seriou..." Dash trailed off, staring at the stallion, who started rubbing his face with his hoof.

"Sorry, Should've really shouted earlier, being so dark and what not." The colt stumbled to his hooves, and stared at Rainbow Dash, who was stunned by the look of the pegasus. He was also lost for words, but shook his head and snapped back to reality.

"Hey, You're Rainbow Dash aren't you? Wonderbolts right? My name is Frost, Frost Storm. Nice to meet you!" Frost chimed, happy to meet a Equestrian famous pony. However, Rainbow Dash's face dropped and stepped back.

"You're not one of THEM are you?"

"What, an avid fan who only wants to bother and pester you? Of course not! I simply find it intresting to find somepony else who knows the irritation of fans." Frost flicked his long, blue mane, and then looked back at Rainbow Dash. Frost Storm... Frost... Frost Storm! I Know who he is! He's a famous solo stunt flier!

"Y-Yeah... Fans, eh? Ahaha..." Dash could feel herself blushing, and to add to the embarassment, she was stuttering. Could I be any more obvious

"Yeah, Always seem to be where you are!" Frost smiled, and looked at the stars. "Hey, do you know where the nearest hotel is? I've only just arrived a Ponyville." Frost looked back at Rainbow Dash, who now looked like she was in deep thought.

"A hotel? You sure? I-I mean... you can stay with me for a few days?" Rainbow Dash was now blushing more than ever, showing her obvious crush on the new stallion. She loved the way his white coat shone in the moonlight, and his his mane was like hers, but with just the blue spectrum.

"Are you sure? You'd have twice the fans crowding your house!"

"I'm Sure. Now, C'mon! I'll show you the way" With that, Dash flew into the night sky, and urged the stallion to follow her. Frost smiled, picked up his saddle bag and caught up with Rainbow Dash.

After a few minutes of flying side-by-side, the two finally landed on the porch of Rainbow Dash's cloud palace. Dash looked at Frost, who was now staring at the magnificently crafted abode, his mouth wide open in awe. The mare opened the door, and called him in, he did so, and his mouth grew wider as he gazed at the main hall. Beautifully crafted wooden oak structures, like a table, chairs, and a few stools.

"This is one amazing house you've got here, Dash. You really have great taste in furniture." Frost had now averted his gaze from the wonderful surroundings, and was now looking at the blushing mare. He called me Dash! He must like me! The truth is, he did, actually, But hadn't shown it yet.

"Aheh. Thanks, Right, Let's take you to your room!" Dash trotted up the stairs, a spring in her step as she did. Frost followed closely, and entered the room he would be sleeping in for a few days.

"Make yourself at home! This room is yours for as long as you need it, get some rest, and in the morning, maybe we can do some stunts together!" Rainbow Dash was now smiling more than ever, and at that moment, it happened. Frost had finally let his emotion show as he blushed ever so slightly.

"Sure! I look forward to it! Well, G'night!" Frost smiled and took of his bag. Dash walked out of the staallions room, and into her own, where she jumped into her pillow and began squealing like a young filly.

"I've got a crush!" She squealed again, and then, fell asleep dreaming of the exciting day that was to come.
