Prologue

Rainbow Dash, the girl who claims to be twenty percent cooler than others. She is the team captain of every single sport in Canterlot University, she is also best friends with Soarin.

Soarin Skies, known for being the most famous boy in Canterlot University. He is best friends with Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Lightning Streak, Fire Streak, and of course, Rainbow Dash.

While these two have been childhood friends, they still get in their fair share of arguments. Dash would blame Soarin, and vice versa. The both of them would just forgive and forget. However, both of them have kept something hidden from each other.

They have feelings for one another.

How will things turn out for these two? Will they confess? Or stay as friends?

Chapter 2 (EDITED)

"Dash? Dash? You alright?" Soarin called.

Dash just stared into space. She didn't know how to confront Soarin to ask him if its true or not.

"RAINBOW DASH!!!" Soarin shouted.

"Huh wait what now?" Dash stuttered.

"You have been staring into space for 5 minutes. What's the problem?"

"I'm fine, really. I just have a few problems right now."

"Do you mind telling me about it?"

"I'm sorry but I can't say it."

"Its fine. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

She put on a face that said, 'say it one more time...'

"Never mind."

Dash placed a small smile in her face, but deep down she is still sad in the inside.

Dash and Soarin are walking on the sidewalk on the way home. Soarin is talking about the stories and jokes of his other friends while Dash just laughs a little bit then goes back to a sad face. Soarin asked, "Dash, are you really sure you're fine? Because I don't think you are with that sad face."

Dash immediately put a small smile on her face and said, "What sad face? There's no sad face, is there?"

Soarin sighed. "Dash, be honest with me. Is. There. Something. Wrong?"

Dash had never seen Soarin this serious before. She quickly put on the tough girl act and said, "I already told you-"

"And don't you dare say that there's nothing wrong," Soarin interrupted.

She sighed and said in a quiet voice, "It's Fleetfoot and Spitfire."

"What did they do to you?"

"They didn't do anything but...."

"But what?"

She hesitated for a moment and Soarin asked again, "But what, Dash?"

Dash had tears flowing from her eyes. "TheysaidthatyouwerefakingtobemybestfriendandIbelievedthem," she said quickly.

Soarin couldn't believe what he just heard.

Chapter 5 (EDITED)

Dash continued to cry on her bed and let the time pass by. A few hours later, she checked the time which says '8:45', she realized she spent 3 hours crying in her room. She quickly changed her clothes, made dinner downstairs, did her homework, and went to sleep.

The next day she didn't even bother to wait for Soarin to walk with her so she walked alone, going to Canterlot University.

As Soarin was walking to the University, he noticed that Dash didn't wait for him. He sighed and just continued walking. He suddenly saw Spitfire and Fleetfoot, trembling in fear when they saw him. He rolled his eyes.

Then he saw Dash, walking alone and looking down. He wanted to go to her, but he hesitated.

"What if...she wouldn't answer?" he asked himself. He reached out his hand to her, as if like he would want to say something, but then he pulled it back and sighed.

Dash just walked to her first class which is Science.  As she was walking, she noticed Soarin running to her. She walked faster so that Soarin couldn't catch up. She entered the class, catching her breath.

Soarin kept on running towards Dash, hoping he could catch up. Then he stopped when he saw her going in a room.

"Science?" he asked himself. He went inside, following her. Dash sat down, and he sat behind her trying to say something.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"Um...Dash?" he slowly started. Dash raised her palm, making Soarin go silent.

"Don't say a word. I will not and never listen anyway. So please," she softly said and put down her hand.

Soarin looked down and just listened to the teacher. He really had his hopes up when he was going to tell her. But then he failed.

"How could I admit my feelings towards her?" he thought.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

This went on for the rest of the subjects until it was dismissal. The students of Dash's last class and her greeted their teacher and Dash began to run at the rooftop of Canterlot University. She climbed up the stairs, opened and closed the door to the rooftop. She went to the back of the entrance of the rooftop, sat down and took out her geometry homework.

"Ugh.. I wish Twilight 'Egghead' Sparkle was my classmate and could help me. Too bad she's back in Equestria doing her royal duties," Dash complained in her thoughts.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Meanwhile, Soarin walked back to his home regretting his life.

"Ugh, why am I such an idiot?! I could've just told her straightly!" he shouted outloud. Then little raindrops start to fall causing it to rain. "Great." Then he ran to his home sighing.

He walked in his house, placing down his things near the door of his room, removed his shoes and laid down on bed thinking of his life.

Soarin thought and thought of what to do. Then he thought about an idea. He got a pen and a paper, and wrote it down.

"Dear Dash, I know that you must hate me right now, but please read. I'm very sorry, of what I did to you. I have proof that I never faked! Please believe me.

Sincerely,

Soarin"

He went to her house, placed the note on the ground, and knocked. Then he ran away.

Chapter 6 (EDITED)

Knock, knock, knock

Dash heard these knocks and said, "Huh, who could that be at this hour?"

She opened the door and said, "Weird, no one's here." She looked down and saw a letter. She was curious whether the letter's hers or not.

"I'm taking my chances," she said to herself and opened the letter. She read the letter and got a little irritated.

She took out her phone and texted Soarin, "When?"

Soarin was hoping that Dash didn't throw the letter when his phone rang. He checked it and got a message from Dash saying, "When?"

Then he texted back. "Oh, thank Celestia you read it."

"Well, the letter was so lonely outside. So I read it."

"I'm..sorry. I didn't fake, promise! Spitfire and Fleetfoot set you up!"

"Oh yeah, PROVE IT."

"Meet me at the gates of the university at dismissal, okay?"

"...Okay."

The next day, Dash did not wait again for Soarin and just walked directly to the university.

At dismissal, Soarin was preparing to confess to Rainbow Dash. Hey Dash. Um, I like you.. No, no, no. That sounds stupid. Ah, this one. Hey there, Dashie. You lookin' good today, huh, sugar? WAIT. THAT'S STUPID! he said to himself. Then she came.

She crossed her arms. "Well, the proof?" she asked.

"Um..there's something I want to tell you," he said.

"And what is that?"

"I...like you," he said nervously.

By the time she heard those words, her jaw dropped to the ground and she stared at Soarin. Soarin, meanwhile, was regretting his whole life from the day he was born.

"Idiot, I knew this would happen!" he shouted in his thoughts. "So, um...about the proof," he started.

"I, uh, um..I have...to go," Dash nervously said and ran away shaking.

Dash ran away to her house, went inside and lied down her bed, her head buried in a pillow. She couldn't stop from hearing the words 'I like you'. She sighed. "What if....it was true...?"

Meanwhile, Soarin on the other hand was frustrated. "WHAT AM I THINKING?? WHY DID I SAY THAT?!" he cried.

He sighed and thought, "I hope she believes it.."

The next day, Dash went to the university earlier than usual. It was because she didn't want to see 'him' or just even his shadow.

Soarin walked to the university alone and still frustrated. He wants to kill himself because of his major failure. He wants to talk to Dash again, but apparently, he can't because Dash will kill him anyways. And as much as he wants to say sorry, he can't because he's too scared. He had an idea but he was really sure that he will fail this.

Chapter 7

Soarin grabbed his phone and texted Dash saying, "Dash, can we talk? Meet me rooftop at lunch." He was really hoping Dash would come so he could show the evidence and apologize for 'accidentally' blurting out his confession yesterday.

His phone rang and Dash replied to him, ".....Okay...."

"Thanks," he texted back to her.

He now has to be confident because lunch is in less than 4 hours. He wrote down his ideas on how he will do it.

Dash was really nervous right now. The last subject before lunch was almost over. The teacher was handing out their homework when the bell rang for lunch.

"Alright, students. Please answer your homework. Those may appear in the exams 2 weeks from now," the teacher told them.

"Like I'll answer that. I still need help from Ms. Egghead," Dash said to herself.

Dash grabbed her lunch bag and phone and walked to the rooftop. When she reached the rooftop, she saw that Soarin was not yet there.

"Huh, maybe he's not here yet," she said to herself and sat on a bench and ate her lunch.

Soarin was running at the hallway. It's only 20 minutes before lunch ends.

"Oh Celestia, I still have to meet up with Dash," he said to himself.

When he reached the rooftop, he saw a lunch bag on a bench. He realized that was Dash's lunch bag and he thought, "Did Dash leave this?"

His phone rang and saw that Dash texted him, "Gonna go get something in my classroom. Don't worry, I'll be quick."

He sat down on the bench waiting for her when the door opened and Dash panted for air. She sat down down at the other side of the bench and saw Soarin there on the left side of the bench.

"When did you get here?" Dash asked him.

"About five minutes ago," he replied.

There was an awkward silence between them. Then Dash spoke, "What did you want to about?"

"Two things actually. The first is the evidence." Soarin grabbed his phone and played the recorded voice from a few days ago. He let Dash listen to it and she had a shocked face after.

Dash hugged her knees and began crying. She just felt guilty for accusing him for faking to be her best friend.

"I'm sorry," she said quietly.

"Did you say something, Dash?" he asked.

She stood up and hugged him with her face buried in his chest and continued crying. "I'm sorry," she said a little louder. "I'm sorry for accusing you like that. You were right. I am dumb. I don't even deserve to be your best friend," she continued.

Chapter 8

Soarin had a smile on his face when Dash apologized. He put his hand on Dash's right cheek and kissed her. Dash's eyes widened and she said to herself, "Maybe his confession was true after all."

Soarin broke the kiss and hugged her. "I forgive you. I promise," he told her. "The second thing is this: I'm sorry for accidentally blurting out my confession yesterday. I was really, really nervous and thought you might kill me for saying it," he continued.

"It's...alright. I won't kill you... And to tell the truth I actually...um," Dash said in a quiet but audible tone.

"You actually what?"

"Iactuallyhaveacrushonyoueversincewebecamefriends," she said quickly.

Soarin's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He asked her, "Is it true?"

She nodded slowly in response. She sat down and began crying again. Soarin sat down beside her, grabbed his handkerchief and wiped her tears. He kissed her cheek, which made her blush, and hugged her like he was her teddy bear.

"So, is it official?" he asked.

Dash looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"

"You know, us."

"Oh. As friends or romantically?"

"Both."

"As friends, yeah. As romantically..." Dash stopped for a while and thought. "I-I-I'm not so s-s-sure yet."

"How come?" Soarin asked. Dash remained silent. "Let me guess: it's your first time, isn't it?

Dash's jaw dropped. She asked him, "H-how did you know?"

Soarin shrugged. "It was quite obvious. You remained silent when I asked you." He rested his hand at the back of her right hand. "It's alright. It's actually my first time also. Let's go through it together, okay?"

Dash remained silent for a moment. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Okay."

"What are we gonna do to Spitfire and Fleetfoot? Are they still your best friends? And should we tell Principal Cadence?"

"First answer: report them. Second answer: let them face the consequence. Third answer: yes."

The bell rang ending lunch and Dash hung her lunch bag at her shoulder and said to him, "Maybe at dismissal?"

"Yeah. Let's go. We might be late at our next classes," Soarin said and they left the rooftop going to their next class which is geometry for Dash and physics for Soarin.

"Dash! Wait up!" Soarin called her.

Dash looked at Soarin when he called her. "I am, you idiot," she told him.

"My bad." Soarin gave her a smile. "And I thought we were gonna report them to Principal Cadence."

"We are."

They reached Principal Cadence's office and they told her about the incident from a few days ago.

"May I see or hear the evidence, please?" Principal Cadence asked. Soarin let Principal Cadence listen to the voice recorder of his phone. "So Rainbow, which between the two do you think had this plan?"

"I don't know, ma'am. But I think Spitfire is the one who came up with this plan," Dash replied.

"Hmm.... I will try to talk to the both of them seperately tomorrow. Dismissed," the principal told them.

Chapter 9

"What a long day, and I still have to answer the homework Sir Discord gave us," Dash complained.

"Maybe I can help," he suggested.

"Are you even a nerd to say that?"

"Go check my scores."

Dash grabbed his folder in science and her jaw dropped. "Yeah, you are a nerd. And you can help. Thanks in advance."

"You're welcome..." He smirked. "Dashie."

Dash blushed when he called her using her pet name. "Don't call me that! Only Pinkie can do so." She playfully punched his shoulder.

"I think its cute," he told her teasingly.

"Stop it!"

"Never."

"Don't call me that in public." Dash sighed.

"Fine. If you say so."

Soarin's jaw dropped when he saw the inside of Dash's house. "I have a question: how come you never told me you were SO rich?!?!?!"

"Clarification: I am not, I repeat, NOT rich. My parents were the ones who bought the house for me so they're the rich ones. That was..." She stopped, looking at the ground.

Soarin noticed and asked, "Uh, Dash? Did something happen?"

She nodded slowly. "They...were...murdered," she said slowly and began crying.

He hugged her. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

She hugged him back. "Don't worry. It's not your fault." She wiped her tears and said, "I'm going to visit them at the cemetery tomorrow. Wanna join me?"

"Sure. I'll go bring my car."

"Look who's richer. I always knew you were richer than me."

"Alright, alright. You got me. What time do we meet?"

"Around 4:00 pm. Copy?"

"Paste." He chuckled and Dash gave that says 'Seriously'.

When they went into Dash's room, they put their bags near the door and Dash jumped on her bed.

"It feels good to be back on your own bed," she said and sighed.

Soarin laughed a little as Dash turned on the air conditioner, took out her homework and showed it to Soarin.

He analyzed it for a while and said, "This is so easy."

"How so?" Dash asked.

"You'll see..."

"Hey Soarin, you hungry?" Dash asked.

"Now that you mentioned it, I guess I'm pretty hungry. What time is it?"

"6:00. I can go make dinner if you like."

"The awesome Rainbow Dash cooks? Well, that's new."

"Shut up. You want me to cook dinner or not?"

"Sure."

Dash went downstairs and put an apron on. She got some ingredients from the refrigerator to make paella, Soarin's favorite dish,

Soarin went down and smelled the scent of something familiar. "This smell is familiar," he thought. He walked down and saw Dash placing a generous amount of paella on Soarin's plate.

Dash turned around and saw Soarin at the door. "I was about to call you," she told him.

"My instincts told me that the food being cooked is my favorite."

"I'm gonna go change for a while. You go on ahead."

"Don't worry, I'll wait."

She removed her apron, hung it on the wall and went upstairs.

She went in her walk-in closet, removed her clothes and wore a white shirt with her cutie mark and blue shorts. She tied her hair to a bun and headed downstairs. She sat down on the chair and said to Soarin, "Go ahead and be the judge of your favorite food."

He got a scoop, and swallowed it. Dash frowned. "It's bad, isn't it?"

"It's....it's....it's awesome!"

"You like it?"

"Like it? I LOVE IT!!" He hugged Dash and said, "Thanks Dashie, you're the best!"

Dash blushed a little and smiled. He was not only her best friend, but a boyfriend too. A kind one.

Chapter 1 (EDITED)

Rainbow inhaled and exhaled deeply and looked at the beautiful view of the rooftop of Canterlot University.

"I bet it's gonna be a good day. After all, it is the first day of college, right Soarin?" Dash asked.

"Uh-huh," he replied. He looked at his watch and it read '7:10'. "Dash, we gotta get going. The orientation starts in ten minutes," he told her.

"Alright then."

Somewhere at the corridors......

"Hey Fleet," Spitfire called.

"Yeah?" she responded.

"I plan to do something... mischievious. Wanna join?" Spitfire asked.

"I don't know. If it involves bullying, then I'm so not in."

"Oh, come on. It will be fun, I promise."

Fleetfoot sighed. "Details please."

"It goes like this..." Spitfire started.

The two best friends were walking to the cafeteria during their break when they saw Spitfire and Fleetfoot approaching them.

"Hey," Fleetfoot greeted.

"Hey," Dash and Soarin greeted back in unison.

"Uh, Soarin? You don't mind if we borrow Dash for a few minutes, right?" Spitfire asked.

"Uh, sure. I don't mind," he said with a smile.

"Great," Fleetfoot said and grabbed Dash's arm. "Thanks Soar, we appreciate it!" she shouted on the way out of the building.

"Uh, Dash? Did you know..." Spitfire started.

"That Soarin....." Fleetfoot continued.

"Isn't your...."

"Best friend..."

"At all," they ended in unison.

Dash laughed a little loud and said, "You're joking, right?"

Fleetfoot and Spitfire shook their heads 'no'.

"Impossible!" Dash said in a shocked tone.

"We heard it loud and clear."

Dash felt sad in the inside. She thanked the two girls and went back to the cafeteria.

Chapter 3 (EDITED)

Just nearby...

Spitfire and Fleetfoot were giggling like crazy.

"Wow. That really was fun," Fleetfoot said.

"Wait, there's more..." Spitfire told her.

"So is it true? Huh? That you're faking to be MY best friend?! I mean, how could you?! I thought you were my friend, I trusted you! How could you do this to me?!" Dash yelled at Soarin.

"That's a lie! Do you seriously believe those two?! I can't believe your dumb enough to be fooled!" Soarin yelled back.

"Who are you calling dumb, liar! Just spit it out, Soarin! Stop lying! I've had enough already!"

"DON'T BELIEVE THEM! THEY'RE A BUNCH OF LIARS, PLEASE!"

"OH YEAH, PROVE IT! PROVE IT TO ME THAT THEY'RE LYING!"

Soarin remained silent because he couldn't think of anything that either Spitfire, nor Fleetfoot had done to him.

Dash shouted, "So you can't think anything, huh? That's good, because you know that they are YOUR best friends. You know what? Fine! You know who's the real liar here? YOURSELF!!" She slapped Soarin's face and ran as fast as she could going home.

Soarin just stood their speechless. As he watched Dash run away, he stood there sighing. "Oh, Dash. If only I could explain it to you...." he said to himself as he walked away, sighing.

Spitfire and Fleetfoot were laughing like a mad scientists.

"See? I told you it was fun," Spitfire said in between laughs.

"Gimme five, Spitz," Fleetfoot told her and gave her a high five.

"Hey Fleet, let's get outta here before he finds us."

"I agree."

Chapter 4 (EDITED)

As Soarin was walking away, he noticed Spitz and Fleet laughing like maniacs while running away. Ever so curious, he followed the two and spied. Soarin turned on his phone and turned on the voice recorder.

"Can you imagine it, Fleet? Dash seriously believed us! This proves that she's so dumb & we're so smart and awesome!" Spitfire said as they were walking back.

Soarin changed from curious, to angry, then to fury. He clenched his teeth with fury as he walked near the two.

Dash closed the door of her house gently and went to her room. She placed her bag on her desk and laid down her bed. She began crying and said to herself, "And to think I like him.."

"Ugh, could this day ever get worse?" she said as she hugged her knees and continued crying.

As the two girls jumped in fright, Soarin was very angry. "ANSWER ME!" he shouted.

Spitz trembled in fright and nervously answered. "W-what do y-you mean, S-soarin..?"

Fleetfoot did the same, "Y-yeah, Soarin. W-what do y-you mean?" she asked nervously.

Soarin changed to rage mode. "DON'T EVEN TRY LYING RIGHT IN MY FACE, IDIOTS! SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!"

Fleetfoot and Spitfire kneeled down sobbing. "OKAY, WE ADMIT IT! WE LIED TO DASH ABOUT YOU FAKING TO BE HER BEST FRIEND!" they cried.

"BUT DON'T KILL ME! IT WAS SPITFIRE'S IDEA!" Fleetfoot screamed.

Spitfire glared at Fleetfoot. "IDIOT, IT WAS YOUR IDEA!" Spitfire retorted.

"NO IT WASN'T!"

"YES IT WAS!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"SHUT UP, MORON!" Soarin shouted and rolled his eyes. "Look, before I kill you both, you idiots better get outta here." Soarin said as the two ran.

Soarin sighed. He saved the voice record and asked himself as he walks back home, "Now how am I gonna explain this to Dash?"
