Any stallion can tell you that asking out the mare you like is an almost impossible task. Not even Big Mac can escape the struggles of asking out that dream mare. Especially when that dream mare is no other than the one and only Rainbow Dash. How is Mac supposed to ask out the former Wonderbolt, Element of Harmony, and best friend of his sister? He has missed his chance once, will he miss it again?

This is a very late birthday gift to Jake the Army Guy. Since we are both MacDash fans, and I think he has some of the best writing out there, this is a short little prequel story to Under A Luminous Sky which is still one of my favorite stories here, and if you have not read it... you fail at life.

So happy late birthday Jake!
