This was it!!!!

This was all the stallion could think about as he strolled through Ponyville at dusk. He had planned this night for ages and things could not have gone better.

He had first asked the mare out when she was called in by Spitfire to attend a party, where the leader of the Wonderbolts planned to show off that the only one to pull off a sonic rainboom wanted in. 'It's just advertising,' she always said to Soarin 'and it's effective too!'.

Shaking his head playfully at the memory, Soarin chuckled a little.

The pegasus was dressed in a black tux and tie accompanied by a white shirt. The tux had a red rose woven through the button hole to add some colour to the otherwise monochrome outfit. He had to look awesome, no... 20% cooler at least!

He smiled as the expression entered his head looking back at the first time she had used it in front of him. At first he thought that it was one of the weirdest things to comment, but after a while, it stuck. He had to bite his tongue around the rainbow maned mare in an attempt not to steal her catchphrase.

He was quickly approaching her house now.

It wasn't that difficult to spot to be honest.

After he asked the question that had been on the tip of his tongue for ages, she said to look for the floating house in the sky at Ponyville. When questioned how he would identify it, she simply smiled. Trust me, you can't miss it she whispered into his ear.

Just thinking of that moment sent a shiver down Soarin's back. He loved every part of that mare from the cocky, egotistical shell to the sweet caring centre.

That's all he had to think about when he tried to ask her out. That turned out to be a nightmare.

She was standing alone at the party. Where as many had gone formal, Rainbow had just come as normal, but her hair had been thoroughly brushed, unlike its usual windowing state. Even though she wasn't wearing much, to Soarin, she still looked gorgeous.

swallowing the lump he had in his throughout, he made his way over to the mare, shaking and shivering with each step. As soon as he had her attention, he thought to himself play it cool Soarin, play it nice and cool.

"Hey Soarin, what's up?"

"H-h-hey Rainbow Dash... um... I-I... er... have you tried the pie yet? It's great." Real cool Soarin, real cool(!).

"No, I haven't yet. Why is it that good?"

She didn't seem to notice the stallion let out a sigh of relief. He hadn't blown it... yet...

"Yeah, um... it's pretty good!"

"Coming from Mr. Pie addict himself." She giggled smiling up at the Wonderbolt. That simple action made Soarin's heart flutter in his chest. She was so cute and she didn't even know it.

The casual tone that Dash had set seemed to calm his nerves a little though.

"Ha ha, very funny. Can see you've already been talking with Spitfire too much..." putting on a face of fake hurt and sticking his bottom lip out.

Rainbow laughed aloud and punched him playfully on the arm. "Hey, the second time I saw you, I had to save your pie from falling to its ultimate death. I don't need to talk to Spitfire to know that you are just a tad obsessed with them."

"Yeah, thanks for that by the way."

"Oh it's no prob, seriously."

"Uh... Hey rainbow, do you want to meet up for dinner sometime? Just like... Uh you and me maybe?"

That question stopped her dead in her tracks. Her magenta eyes scanned his for the answer to her inevitable question. "You mean like a... date?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

Soarin folded his ears back and looked away from her. "Is that a no?"

"No... No ,no, no it's not a no. I'm just surprised that you... you know with all the looks and the moves like a mare like me that's all."

His eyes snapped back to hers wide with shock. "So your saying..."

"Yes Soarin, I would love to go out with you!"

That had made the party one of the best nights of his life. Not long after that, he had booked a reserve on a train that served dinner. He knew how much Dash love speed and to combine these two elements would hopefully make it the best way to start a first date. It was also said to be by candlelight in their private carriage so it was also rather romantic too.

With a spring in his step, he continued to make his way down the dirt path unknown to him that two eyes were watching him from the bushes, assessing him in each way or form. It was time for action.

"Mister!"

Soarin turned back to see a young filly on a scooter catch up to him.

"Hey there kid! You ok?"

"Heh yeah, I'm fine! What are you doing round these parts anyways? I though you were a Wonderbolt!"

"Yeah,... I am but tonight is my night off and... well I am seeing somepony special."

"Oh yeah? Who's that?"

"Uh... it's um... Rainbow Dash."

The filly smiled at the stallion. "I though so."

The stallion turned to face the filly. "Do you know her?"

Scootaloo looked at Soarin with an evil grin and explained simply that Rainbow had took her under her wing as her little sister.

"Oh right! so that makes you uh... Scootaloo, yes?"

"Yup, that's me alright." He seemed nice enough but she had to make sure that he was good enough for Rainbow. "So, do you like flying?"

"Yep, you bet!"

"And you like romance?"

"I guess it depends upon who it's with..."

"Is Rainbow one of the ones you would feel comfortable with?"

The stallion nodded quickly.

"If you had to give up the Wonderbolts or your relationship with Dash, which would you choose?"

"What?"

That wasn't the correct answer. "Which would you choose?" She insisted.

Soarin sighed. "It depends where we are in our relationship. I would talk to her before making any decision. But if it were going well, I would probably have to chose Rainbow Dash of course!"

Well done Soarin she thought.

"Ok, well this is Dash's house so I'll see you round!"

"Ok. Bye!"

Soarin looked up at the house above. It was more like a mansion than a simple house. Even the Wonderbolts just had simple little apartments to live in; nothing like this.

Clearing his throat, he flew up to her front door, knocking three times. As the sound of the door being opened from the other side, Soarin straightened his tie and ran a hoof through his mane.

"Hey Dash, are you ready to-"

She looked stunning. she was wearing a dark purple dress with small lightening bolts, the colour of lavender, embroidered into the edge of the translucent trail. Silver swirls come from the chest area of the dress into a halter neck like fashion blending in with a silver ribbon she had running throughout her rainbow mane (that had actually been styled into a single long curl much like rarity s). The ribbon trailed up to her head where it was worn as a hair band that rested just above her long fringe that covered her right eye with a small flick out at the end. All of this combined with the cute smile that she wore was just too overwhelming for Soarin.

"Uh... Soarin? You might wanna pick your jaw up buddy." She chuckled slightly.

Realising that he must of looked like a complete idiot, he shook his head quickly to release himself from the stupor.

"Y-yeah... it's just... wow!" He said looking into her large, magenta eyes.

"Sorry, I would have worn makeup but I didn't really have time." Looking deeply into his eyes as she spoke.

"No you look amazing! To be honest, I wouldn't have been able to tell if you had makeup or not."

Blushing slightly, Rainbow coughed into her hoof. "So, shall we get going then?"

"Oh... yeah... right."

Rainbow then locked her door and turned back to Soarin. This was going to be the best night ever, as long as things went according to plan.

Oh, and trust me when I say that, unfortunately, they don't.
