Maybe I'm Dreaming

Shattering sound of my glass of soda that hit the ground made the

whole room quiet.

And there I was standing…

With eyes that couldn’t believe what they see. I was sure about

something. Soarin wasn’t drunk for sure cause when we were at

restaurant he told me that he hated drinks so that only meant one

thing:

He did that on purpose…

But… but…

“Rainbow! I’ll explain…” said Soarin. Tears filled my eyes as I heard his

voice and I certainly didn’t stayed there for him to ‘explain’. I’d see

enough.

I opened my wings and flew…

Flew out of that damn building with the fastest speed I could muster.

All I wanted was to go away from there as soon as I can. Why

staying there while my Soarin didn’t want me anymore.

* * * * *

“Soarin… Soarin… oh my Soarin… why? Why did you do that to

me?... Didn’t you love me? Didn’t you know that I just realized that

you’re the one that I can rely on? The one that can show me what

truly love is… you ruined it… you ruined everything…” I said as I

talked to the space in front of me. “YOU RUINED EVERYTHING

SOARIN! EVERYTHING!” I shouted as tears ran down my cheeks.

“You… ruined… it,” I muttered before broking into tears.

In front of me, the first and last bay I’ve ever seen, was quieter than

any time before. There wasn’t even a single wave crashing to cliffs. It

was as if Soarin himself was there.

That was why I went there. From the first minute I saw the bay, I saw it

as a pony. A pony that I can tell everything to and that pony was

Soarin. Even he wasn’t loyal to me, the bay was. I could tell all of my

problems to bay. It was exactly like a second Soarin to me.

Too bad that I couldn’t tell these to the real Soarin…

“Soarin, please… please come and tell me that they were all

nothing but a lie… Please tell me that I was only dreaming…”

* * * * *

Next day, I woke up where I exactly was.

Well…not EXACTLY where I was.

There was a blanket over me and my head was on something soft

and somepony was caressing my mane slowly.

Wait… somepony was caressing my mane?

It couldn’t be…

I slowly opened my eyes and looked up to see the pony that was

caressing me. OH MY GOSH! IT WAS SOARIN!

I couldn’t believe he actually came after me. And there I was, lying

on his lap, and he was caressing me. Slowly, memories of last night

came to my head.

The surprise birthday party, gifts, dances, Soarin’s gift, bay, and

Soarin…

Soarin…

SOARIN!

HE CHEATED ON ME.

Then what did I do on his lap? Wait…

How dare he hugged me? How dare he even caressed me? He

loved another mare. Not me… another mare…

It was my damn tears that let Soarin know that I’m awake. He looked

down at me and smiled. “Rainbow… you’re awake.” Soon, he

realized that I was crying. He picked me up and hugged me tightly.

“Rainbow, don’t cry. Let me explain.”

My eyes went wide at what he said. I quickly pulled away from him

and stood up. I didn’t want to stay with him even for a second.

“Explain what? I don’t need explanation. I have my damn EYES! At

least they don’t lie to me like you did.” I shouted.

“But Rainbow, I didn’t lie. Just let me…” said Soarin calmly before I

interrupted again.

“NO! I DON’T NEED ANY EXPLANTION! JUST LET ME GO!” I shouted

again.

“But…”

“You know what? I hate you…” I said with a look of hatred on my

face. There wasn’t a place for me to stay. Not any more…

* * * * *

THAT EVEVNING

‘Concentrate Rainbow. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate,

CONCENTRATE!’ I thought as I tried to review what Rarity told me

again.

I was in front of my brother’s home, waiting for him to open the door.

Speedy had gone to doctor for an unknown sickness and Hurricane

was resting after his ‘hard’ day at Wonderbolts.

It was the right time for me to talk to him about it. I was a huge idiot

to still do it after all of things that happened at my birthday night and

the morning after but there was something telling me that I have to

do it anyway. Although I didn’t have a good feeling about Soarin

and was too angry to see him again but I had to do this.

Previous night’s experience made me realize that it’s really hard for

me to let Soarin go so it was better for me to stay away from him. I

had to find that mare as soon as I could and there was only one way

to find out…

“Oh, hey Rainbow. Speedy said that you’ll come here today,” said

Hurricane with a smile. “So why did you come here anyway.”

I frowned. “Hey, there’s no reason for it. Can’t your sister just visit?” I

grinned in my thoughts as I said. ‘Awesome Rainbow. First step of

Rarity’s lessons is done!’ I thought.

“OK, OK, come in,” said Hurricane. I quickly entered the house and

placed the plate of food on counter. “What’s this?” he asked as he

spotted the plate.

“Oh, nothing. I just thought that you might don’t have dinner tonight

so I baked you something to eat.”

Hurricane who seemed surprised said, “OK.” Then he continued,

“Thank you too much. Speedy said that she won’t be home tonight

and will go to visit her sister and I was just wondering what to eat

tonight. Thanks for helping me in such a hard decision!”

I rolled my eyes. His hard decision was to choose between hothay

and hayburger. “Yeah, such a hard decision…”

“Wait a second!” said Hurricane with narrowed eyes. “Something’s

not right. You just don’t visit me without wanting something let alone

caring about my dinner. So, tell me… what do you want?”

Oh great… perfect! He caught me but I wasn’t going to let it go just

like that. Not yet. So I gasped and said, “How dare you? I just missed

you and wanted to see you.”

“Missed me? You just saw me last night,” said Hurricane with a raised

eyebrow.

“So what? Like I said, I just wanted to come and see you. Can’t a

sister come and visit her brother?” I said as I tried to muster the cutest

pout I’d done.

Hurricane who was still looking at me with a raised eyebrow, smiled.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. So what do we do first?”

I tapped my chin and pretended like I was thinking. “How about

telling me about some of your memories with Soarin?” I said with a

big grin.

“Hmmm… seems like a good plan. Although I still don’t know what

you’re up to but that’s a good idea. Why don’t you seat while I go to

grab my photo album?”

“OK.” I smiled mischievously as Hurricane to his room. ‘Nice work

Rainbow. Nice work.’

“I have good plans for you my dear brother…”
