The Beginning

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.

Stunts and Falls

Frost awoke to the beams of light seeping through the curtains. How did I...? Oh Yeah... Frost chuckled to himself, how could he forget yesterday? Frost stepped out of his bed, after stretching of course. He stepped out the bedroom, keeping his hoofsteps a quiet as possible, just in case Rainbow Dash was still asleep. Frost made his way downstairs, feeling rather hungry, he then made his way into the kitchen. Dash wasn't awake, so Frost decides to make some pancakes. How I LOVE pancakes. He whistled happily as he prepared what he thought, was the best food ever.

"Raaaaaaaaah!" Rainbow Dash woke up, with a great yawn. What is... Pancakes? Why can I smell Pancakes? Rainbow Dash remembered that she had met Frost last night, and finally realised the smell must be his doing, or it could be her friend Sky, whom had stayed with her a few years now, but the last time Sky tried to cook... Well, lets say she needed a new kitchen.

Dash galloped downstairs and placed herself straight into her breakfast chair.

Frost turned around away from the cooker, and to his suprise there sat Rainbow Dash, awaiting the pancakes she was about to enjoy.

"Woah, when did you get here?" Frost still rather suprised, smiled at the cyan pegasus who was just sat there waiting.

"Well, Seeing as pancakes are my favourite food, and you were making some that smelt oh-so good, you think I'd just stay in bed? Besides! I've got to be ready for the AWESOME stunts we're gonna pull today!"

"Aha, Okay, calm down there Dash. Anyway, here's your pancakes! Eat up!" Frost placed one of the plates of pancakes infront of Dash, she was drooling, and REALLY wanted these pancakes. As soon as the plate hit the table, she started devouring the food and was finished in ten seconds flat. Meanwhile, Frost was still only just on his third pancake.

"Wow, for a stallion who flies so fast, you really eat slow." Dash chuckled and so did Frost, who was just about to start his fourth. At that moment, a particularly tired looking orange mare walked in the kitchen, and sat down next to Dash. She let out a small groan and slumped her head on the table.

"Hey there Sky... How as the party...?"

"Ugh... Remember when we had those two drinking contests a few years back? Well, times the headache we both had by ten."

"Woah! How much did you drink!?"

"...Two big ass bottles of vodka, and Three pints of cider..."

"You are crazy, Sky." The orange mare let out another groan and stuck her hoof to a nearby cupboard, opened it and pulled out some tablets. Frost looked at Rainbow Dash, who had a irritated look on her face. She leant into Sky's ear and whispered.

"Look, Sky, I've got a 'friend' round. A stallion for that matter. So don't screw this up for me." Frost could not hear a word the two were saying, but was also to busy happily eating his breakfast. The two mares had finished whispering, and Sky had taken a tablet and departed.

"Dash! I'm going to see Crystal! See ya later!" With that, the front door closed, and the orange pegasus took off into the distance. Rainbow Dash looked to where Frost had been sitting. He wasn't there. She then felt a small tapping on her back, making her jump.

"Well, You're the one who wanted to do some stunts Dash. So what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Frost was grinning, he loved the stunts he did and thought it would be plain phenomenal. Dash was now grinning too, she'd been waiting ALL morning for this.

"HELL YEAH! I thought you'd never ask!" Both of them galloped out the door and burst into flight. Instantly showing eachother their best moves in the sky.

"DASH! Watch this!" Frost dived down, full speed, until sparks of lightning left a trail behind him. He was still diving, and looked as if he were going to crash into the ground, but inches away from the floor, he opens his wings and soars back up, a huge bolt of lightning as he did.

"WOAH!!! DUDE THAT WAS SO COOL!!" Rainbow Dash's mouth was wide open in awe, still shocked by what she'd just seen.

"Frost, Watch this." Dash laqunched herself towards the floor, until a cone began to form around her, and her mane was completely behind her.

"Oh My Gosh! A Sonic Rainboom!" Dash was barely off the ground when she pulled up and the Sonic Rainboom exploded.

She flew up back to the stallion who was clapping his hooves in applause.

"That was amazing. We would be great stunt partners Dash!" Rainbow Dash squealed. DID HE JUST SAY THAT!? YESYESYESYES "Well, C'mon! We got loads more stunts to do, and only a few hours to do it!" With that, Frost began flying around randomly, doing summersaults and spins as he went. The day went on and amazing tricks were done by both of them. In fact, they were both exhausted towards the end, but they kept going.

"Yo! Frost! Should we head inside? It's getting stormy out!" Rainbow Dash called, but the sheer force of the wind masked her voice. She tried shouting again but Frost still diddn't hear. It began to rain, and both pegasi were getting drenched.

"DASH! GET DOWN!"

"What?!"

"GET DO-" Frost was interrupted by a flash of lightning, that struck Rainbow Dash. Knocked out, she began to plummet towards the vast woods,

"OH, NO. OH NO NO NO NO!" Frost sped towards the falling mare, catching her in mid-flight.

"I got you... I got you..." While catching his breath he remained in flight, clutching on to the unconscious mare. Before he could begin to move another bolt of lightning came, and the two ponies being the highest objects around, they were struck. Frost was completely and utterly knocked out by the blast of pure lightning, he began to fall too, but Rainbow Dash still remained in his forelegs...

Long Path of Truth

"Agh... Shit." Frost awoke, searching around for some idea of where he is. Ah, Fuck. Middle of the woods. Perfect. He had now realised that he was laid on the branch of a large tree. The tree was in the middle of a large circle of grass, sunlight coming through a circular hole in the lush green canopy. Looking down he saw a soaked cyan mare, not moving.

"Dash? Rainbow Dash? You oka- CRAP!." Frost was interrupted by the snapping of the branch he was sat on, he fell to the floor with a 'thud' and landed next Rainbow Dash.

"Owwwwww... My wing..." Frost tried moving his wing, but as he did he immediatley recoiled as a surge of pain flowed through his body. He got up back to his hooves and turned to Dash. Shit. Her back looks in really bad shape, if she was awake, she wouldn't be able to move at all. The stallion stood for a minute, panicing on whether she was asleep, or she was knocked out, or worse. After a few moments of simply standing, and dripping rainwater after the incident hours ago. Right. Okay, She's just going to have to ride on my back. Won't put to much tension on my wing... right? Frost moved closer to Rainbow Dash, thinking how he was going to get her on his back in the first place. He sighed, turned around and fell on his hind legs haunches.

"Okay, Now what?" He looked behind his shoulders, he sighed again, and blushed a bright red, he was going to have to reverse and slide her on from the back. He began moving backwards and shivered, as he felt contact between her nose, and his hind quarters. It felt wrong to do this, but somehow, in some strange way... it felt so good. Frost continued moving backwards, and eventually, Dash reached a point on his back where he could pull her on with his hoof. The left foreleg of the mare fell upon Frost's broken wing, making him wince in pain.

"Right. Where would Ponyville be..." He looked around, thinking of where exactly they came from before the storm. Thinking he might know, he heads off into the woods. It could be hours until Dash wakes up. She may not wake up until we reach town. His concern wasn't for himself right now, but Dash. As Frost walked through the mass of trees, he had time to reflect on his history, what exactly lead up to meeting Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Frost! Get over here! You're going to be late for the show!" Jet called from the entrance of the stadium, obviously impatient and tired of waiting for the white pegasus. The Equestria Flight show, all of Equestria's greatest stunt fliers combine for the greatest show around. Frost Storm was one of them. The Wonderbolts, Blazing Pegasi, Lone Wolf. Frost walked into the stadium, taking in the awe-inspiring decor. 'SPEED IS TALENT' These were the words imprinted on the wall. He could hear the almighty roar of the crowds and crowds of ponies sat in the stands. Frost walked down the corridors, each one belonging to a stunt team/pony. He kept walking and finally stopped at the door bearing his name. He walked in and saw the standard decor. Red and gold paint, Frost diddn't need or want this, he sighed and simply put on his goggles.

"Well, I'm next! Wish me luck Jet!" Jet, who was sitting in the corner of his room simply grunted and went back to checking his mane." Frost exits his room and walks towards the pit entrance, his heart was pounding, and began to sweat. Thoughts like 'What if I screw up? 'Do I just leave?' Such thoughts became irrelevant, he was in the middle of the pit. This, This is where his troubles began. For his opening routine, he flew into the air, and pulled death defying tricks that struck the audience with fear, shock, and cheers. This continued until he came to his finishing act, Ice Storm. He flew into the clouds, gathered a bunch together and flew them into coldest parts of the sky. He then circled the clouds, until their fluffy, harmless white became a terrifying black. It was time. Frost flew above the clouds, took a deep breath, and shot through them. The clouds exploded in a frenzy of rain and ice, the pegasus reached the speed of lightning bolts as he continued plummeting. As he continued diving a large bolt of lightning now marked his trail, and grew as he moved. He was reaching the point where he HAD to open his wings. But, due to the sheer speed, he couldn't even move.

"T-T-This is it! GET OUT OF HERE!! IT'S NOT SAFE!!" He screamed as he continued gaining speed. The crowds diddn't move. Was it because they diddn't hear him, or they thought it was part of the act? Frost was about to die, he knew that, but if he diddn't do something quick a load more people will die too. His only option was to pull out, burst through the walls, and die. That's it. Unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen. Jet, from the comfort of his room, had seen the whole thing, and seeing as he'd known Frost all his life, he knew something was wrong. Jet's plan was to match his speed, and slow Frost down that way. Jet prepared himself on a spring in the centre of the pit, and at the right time, launched. He was flying at the same speed as Frost, Collision was certain. For them both, the rest was a blur. The two pegasi connected and, it was like an explosion. A large white light covered the area and the next thing Frost remembered, was limping away from a burning stadium, his body covered in blood. He'd been on the run eversince.

Frost was snapped out of his thoughts, he'd felt a twitch on his back. He'd been walking for hours, and it was late at night. By now he would've of thought Dash would be awake, but having sustained such powerful injuries on her back, he would've done the same.

"Nngh... F-Frost...?" Dash was awake, shivering, but awake. He breathed a huge sigh of relief. Frost felt the mare grip him tighter, he could feel her damp coat press against him, and her shivers shook his body slightly.

"Dash... You're awake... You got me so worried. You got struck by lightning while we were flying, I swooped over to pick you up. When I did I tried my hardest to get away, but ended up getting struck myself. We landed in the woods and you were unconscious, I've been walking for the whole day now." Rainbow Dash gave a smile and burried her head in Frost's damp mane. This had caught the stallion off gaurd, and caused him to trip into a large pool of water.

Frost moved helplessly as he felt himself sink, what worried him more was that Rainbow Dash was no longer on his back. SHIT. He rose back to the top of the shining water, it was so deep, which made him panic even more for the safety of the mare. The colt instantly dived back under water and searched for the cyan pegasus. As Frost searched the bottom of the pool, he caught sight of a particularly bright object under water. Diving down even further he manages to make out the shape of a curled up pony. Frost finally made it to the mare and dug her up under his hooves and swam back up to the surface of the water. As he eventually reached the surface, he began to gasp heavily for air, while dragging himself towards the dry land. The stallion reached the point he could feel his hooves on the ground and waded through the remaining water. It could be too late.

Frost lays the mare on the marshy dirt and on her back. He begins peforming CPR, hoping that maybe he could bring her back.

"One...Two...Three..." He repeated this, inbetween giving resue breaths. After what seemed to Frost like hours, Rainbow Dash finally came around and awoke coughing and spluttering, getting rid of the excess water. She fell on the stallions shoulders and began to sob. The whole experience nearly killed her. Again. Dash falls off Frost and curls up into a ball, shivering rapidly. As if by instinct, Frost curled his body over her's, sharing as much body heat as they could. Dash's shivering died down a little, and eventually, the two fell asleep, exhausted, soaked, and cold.

First Date

Rainbow Dash woke up with a start. She felt the familliar feeling of a mattress under her, and the felling of blankets on her. The mare's vision was heavily blurred, but somehow made out the figures of seven other ponies crowded around her bed.

"She's Awake!" The familliar voice of Pinkie Pie echoed around the room, and a very irritated 'Shhh!' Came from a nearby nurse. As Rainbow Dash's vision finally focused, she was able to distinctly make out the faces of her close friends, each of them bearing a very distraught face.

"Dear Celestia, You're finally awake then, Dash." Twilight managed to smile, as a sigh of relief escaped all their mouths. Though, Dash's housemate Sky kept a serious look on her face. She was staring at a two stallions next to Dash. One was in another bed, and the other was sittting next to said bed.

"Hey Sky the colt is mine! Eyes off!" Sky took her gaze off of the stallion and looked at the injured mare. She'd been crying. "Sky what's wrong?"

"Dash. It's him. The stallion who crashed into me the day of the stadium fire, remember?" Almost instantly, Dash's brain started whirring. It was the day after Sky and her friend, Crystal Rose, had arrived in Ponyville. That day was memorable for two reasons, one being the fire at The Royal Fliers Stadium, and the other being that Crystal got knocked up. She began to remember the conversation Sky and Dash had.

"Sky! Did you hear?! There's been a big fire at The Royal Fliers Stadium!"

"What!? Then..." Sky thought about the colt she'd seen earlier, his coat was white, and his mane had all different shades of blue.

"Did anyone die? Hang on! The Wonderbolts were supposed to be there today!" Sky was worried, that pegasus had stayed in her mind.

"Don't worry Sky. The Wonderbolts left after their act, their safe. As for how it happened... The news say it was because of two pegasi colliding at high speeds! Only a few survived..." Sky couldn't believe it. She was struck by the almighty force that is reality. That poor stallion, if only he knew about his fate. Sky had zoned out. Lost in her thoughts.

"D-Dash... I saw somepony today... He was going to that show..." The orange mare broke down into tears. Dash didn't know how to react, she knew that if Sky was anything like her, it took something really heavy to make her cry.

That was the last time Dash had seen Sky cry. But here she was, her eyes red from tears, some still trailing down her face.

Rainbow's gaze was now on the two stallions, more precisely, the stallion who was awake. His coat was much like Frost's though it was more of a gray, his mane was like Frost's too, but with the red spectrum. He had scars and bruises all over his body.

"You're just as lost as we are about him Dash." Twilight had broken her concentration and Dash was now looking at the recently married unicorn. "Sky broke down into tears as soon as she saw him, and the other stallion hasn't said a word."

"Who is he, exactly?" The stallions ears perked up.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jet Wing, I am the last living Blazing Pegasi member. The rest of my team perished in the fire, you know what fire I'm talking about, Rainbow Dash." Jet turned to face the mare, his eyes a burning red."

"But... Everypony there died in that fire."

"Incorrect. Me and Frost were the only survivors."

"Frost was there?"

"Frost was partly the reason for the fire." Jet closed his eyes and turned away. He was hiding something, and Dash wanted to know what. There was an awkward silence. The atmosphere, however, was broken as a shuffling sound came from Frost's bed.

The now awake stallion opened his eyes.

"Ahhhhhhhhh... Shit." He closed his eyes again, wishing that the stallion standing next to him wasn't there.

"Well well well, Frost Storm. It's been awhile. How's your sanity?" Jet's tone got darker, finally, the past had caught up with Frost.

"I thought you were dead."

"Not quite, remember, it was the both of us who caused the fire, but really you should've been more careful."

"I HAD THINGS UNDER CONTROL!! I WOULD'VE KILLED MYSELF IN ORDER TO SAVE THE REST OF THEM!" Frost erupted in a frenzy or rage and regret. "YOU HAD TO INTERVENE!" The mares, who were watching the two stallions were taken back by the sudden outburst.

"Well I'm sorry for saving your life!"

"Yeah? For what!? To spend the rest of my life alone, never forgetting the screams and cries of those fillies and their famlies!? TO WHAT EXTENT IS THAT A LIFE!?" Frost's voice became quiet and controlled. "Though, Thank You. If you didn't save my life, I wouldn't of met Dash. I also want to know how you found me."

"Ah can answer that!" Applejack called in, stepping up to the front of the ponies. "Ah found you two just lyin' in deep in the Everfree Forest!"

"As for me Frost, they searched your file and found me as the only 'In Case of Emergency' contact. As if I was going to pass this oppurtunity up. Alot of ponies want you dead Frost. You're lucky I'm not one of them." The injured stallion simply grunted, he knew ponies wanted him dead, that's why he'd been running his whole life.

"Ugh. Can we get off this topic? It's not been easy forgetting that day, I do not need you reminding me Jet." There was another awkward silence, but this time was broken by Twilight.

"So... Are you two dating or something?" Rainbow Dash blushed a furious red, she had no idea what to say. Frost however, seeing how affectionate she'd acted in the woods, and how she was acting now, everything pointed to the same thing; Rainbow Dash wanted to date Frost. Dash tried to speak out, but her words just became a stuttering mess.

"Yeah, Yeah we are." Everypony in the room turned to stare at the stallion, who had his hooves behing his head, and was quite relaxed. Rainbow Dash let out a very quiet squeal.

"Well that's wonderful, also, the doctor said you two can leave when you want, as long as you take it easy, of course."

"WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!?" Frost lept out of bed and let out an almighty roar of a yawn.

"Well, we'll leave you two to it then, we'll see you later?" Twilight smiled, happy to see the stallion on his hooves.

"Yeah, Probably." Frost walked over to Dash's bed and lent out a hoof to help her up. "Well. Are you just going to lie there or are you going to get up?" He was smiling, and that felt good. Dash grinned, put her hoof in his, and pulled herself up.

"So, Uh, Now what?" Dash was blushing again.

"Well, we could go for dinner later? A first date." Frost blushed ever so slightly.

"Alright! Shall we go home then?"

"Yeah. I could really do with a bath, but not one in a murky pond."

Six o'clock came around Frost was outside the restraunt the two had agreed on "Galloways." It was indeed the fanciest in town, and he just hoped he doesn't get kicked out of this one, like the many times he had before. Eventually, Frost spotted Rainbow Dash coming over the horizon. Much like himself, she had not dressed in anything fancy. Such things to them both were stupid, really.

"Look out below!" Rainbow Dash was coming at quite the speed, but somehow Frost was able to catch her, though it send him back a bit.

"I know how you love speed and all, but do you really have to do that everytime?"

"Oh yes, you're the one to talk." The two both chuckled and entered the restraunt. They sat down at a nearby table and a waitress pony came to take their order. They answered and the pony walked off, calling into the kitchen as she did.

"So, What's that bottle? I'm dying to know." Frost had noticed the bottle Dash had been carrying since they arrived.

"Oh this? This? Only the most awesome wine ever. I'm usually the cider kind of pony, but this wine has cherries in it, and I thought it'd be cool if I brought it here!" Dash passed the bottle to the intrigued stallion. He scanned the labels on the bottle and looked back up to her.

"You realise, if we drink just one glass of this, we won't be able to fly home. We'll have to rent a hotel room."

"Yeah, So? You scared...?" Frost grinned.

"Ah, what the hay. I'll pour us a glass each."

An hour later and Rainbow Dash was absoloutely hammered. In fact, they haddn't even got their food, and they still got kicked out for making to much noise!

"W-We-Well We're gonna have to pass on the food." Dash's words were slurred, often hiccups interrupted her words. Frost let out a long sigh.

"Well, I can't fly up to the house with you on my back, so we're going to have to do the hotel thing." Frost had also had a couple of drinks, but he was still capable of thought.

"C'mon Dash. Let's go." The stallion lifted the drunken mare on to his back,De Ja Vu, and went towards the hotel, which was convieniently next to Galloways. After ordering renting the room, he carries Dash up to the room and lays her on the bed...
