A Day Off

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was a particularly sunny day in Ponyville the birds were chirping the sun was out. It was the start of a spring break in Ponyville and all the filly's and colts were let out of school early; however, a certain rainbow pony was not enjoying it as one would expect.

"Pufft! My day off. What am I gonna do? Ugh, I'm already so booooooooerd! All of my friends are busy and they left me to rot!" Rainbow Dash said to herself as she flew Ponyville town hall and resting on a cloud.

"Huh, I can already tell this days gonna suck!" she rolled over on her back and stared at the deep blue sky.

"Day off.....what am I supposed to do! This is lame." Rainbow Dash thought to herself as she began rolling around on the cloud over looking Ponyville. The town was buzzing with busy ponies around town getting ready for a break from there jobs to kick back and relax for spring break.

"Hmm. I guess I could go see Scootaloo." Rainbow said to herself. "She might need help with flying. The pipsqueak is always up to something," Rainbow Dash said with a chuckle, as she takes off into a sunny blue sky. Her bright vivid rainbow mane whipping around as she rockets through the sky leaving a short rainbow streak behind her.

She fly's down to the cutie mark crusaders club house and lands out on the wooden balcony and brushes off her wing. "Time to make an appearance after all I am a princess to these young pegasi," Dash thinks to herself as she proceeds in. "Alright alright Rainbow Dash is here!" she bragged to a completely empty club house. She hovered there blushing a light pink from the embarrassment of boasting into a empty club house.

"Ah, jeez I'm glad nopony saw that," Dash says as she turns around and walks out "Jeez even the pipsqueak is out doing something." she complained.

She took to the skies again and did a set loop-de-loops as she gained altitude at high speeds. While she flew through the air she contemplated on what to do next. Running through her list of friends.

"Why is every one busy today?" Rainbow asked herself, as she tore through the sky like a bullet. Once again Rainbow Dash was shooting over Ponyville trying to fine something for her to do. A strong pain in her tummy followed by a loud growling told her exactly what she had to do next.

"Great I'm bored lonely and now hungry!" She says as she flies around to find someplace to eat she comes across a burger joint. "Well its better than nothing." she said landing at the entry way. She flexed her wings folding them to her sides snug and trots inside with her head up high. Personally Rainbow Dash didn't like fast food places, she liked to say fit and lean by eating healthy foods like vegetables and maybe even the occasional shake but she could make do with a cream soda from time to time.

"RAINBOW DASH!" A loud familiar voice screamed from a pink colored pony sitting a booth "DASHIE, COME HERE!" Pinkie Pie called over from a booth. Rainbow saw her friend and quickly made her way over to the pink pony with an embarrassed look.

"I told you never to call me that!!!" Rainbow Dash yells flustered with pink blush across her muzzle as Pinkie Pie giggles.

"Sorry, Dashie I forget!" she said with a snort of laughter. "Come come sit with us!" Pinkie squealed as Rainbow looks to the other side of the booth were a yellow pony with a brown curly mane was sitting.

"Cheese sandwich?" Rainbow Dash said with a look of confusion on her face.

"Hay there Dashie!" Cheese Sandwich exclaims with a happy grin on his face.

"Hey! Don't you start that to I can barely stand Pinkie saying it. Also, when did you get back?"

*MEANWHILE*

"SPRING BREAK MOTHERBUCKERS!!" A bright white pony with yellow curly mane yells in excitment while running into the local Ponyville Hotel.

"Surprise stand down!" a dull coated yellow pony yells at her as followed by 3 others.

"We really need to strap her down," a bright milky pony with turquoise hair adds with a smirk while trotting up to the front desk.

"Oh come on Blaze. Let Surprise have some fun an speaking of which you need to let your hair down I haven't seen you relax in.......Uhhh come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen you relax." a dark blue pony with a navy blue mane added while watching Blaze pull Surprise into a headlock.

"Blaze, Surprise lock it up now!" A command coming from the last pony in the five a name every pony knows well the colonel of the Equestrian air force and co-captain of the Wonderbolts Soarin Winds.

The two fighting ponies stop immediately and salute to him."SIR YES SIR!" they both say without question.

"You guys really suck at being incognito you know that?" Misty Fly adds as she takes out her a bag of bits to pay for there hotel rooms.

No way," Soarin says walking to up her. "You paying for us? I don't believe it," he says with a smirk putting his bit bag on the desk. "I got this and you know I get the bigger pay check anyway!" Misty rolls her eyes and hugs him.

"Oh, Soarin your so big and strong. Since your so strong you can carry me to my room," she says as she climbs on his back and wraps her hooves around his neck. He blushed from the mare getting on him as she giggled.

"YAY PIGGY BACK RIDE!" Surprise adds as she jumps on Soarins back.

"Wait no I didn't say you could ride me!" He states as Surprise busts out laughing making him flush. "N-not like that you perv!" He grunts and walks to the stairs.

The team of five were have way up the stairs when Blaze adds her opinion. "I can't believe the Colonel of the Air force gives piggy back rides now. How in embarrassing!" She says walking next to Soarin.

"Alright, Blaze you can get on too but next time get on in the beginning," Soarin says smirking down to her,Blaze looks at him and squint. They reach the top of the stairs Soarin with two pony's on his back and Blaze with a satisfying grin on her muzzle as she jumps down from his back

"Thanks for the ride," she says looking at Soarin's face expecting to see a sweating pony but instead a cheesy smile.

"Anytime!" He reply's with his signature goofy smile.

"Uh guys wheres Wave and Surprise?" Misty says staying on Soarin's back as Wave chills hoof struggles to reach the top stair and barely manages to pull himself up.

''H-help! s-she w-wont g-get off!" He says panting and sweating and Surprise on top of him with a big grin.

"Surprise, Wave stop fooling around and come get your room key." Soarin stated ready to start his vacation.

"Alright everypony has their room key?" Soarin says at the four as they all nod in unison. "Alright then lets start our vacation! Uh, what you guys wanna do?"  he asked, looking at the rest.

"Uhhh hmm. Well lets walk around and see what we can do," Wave suggested to the others. "I mean we can do what ever we want since this is our first day of vacation after all."

"Good point lets set off!" Soarin said as the five pony's set out of there hotel and onto the dirt streets of Ponyville.

As they traveled along the roads Blaze couldn't help but notice how small the town was. "Wow this is a really quaint town nothing like Manehatten," Blaze says looking at all the ponies pass by peacefully.

"Its really nothing like the wilds of a busy city is it?" Surprise said while she did a cartwheel around her team. "Jeez it may peaceful but its boring we need something to do."

"Well I guess we could go get something to eat. I am pretty hungry." Misty says to the group the rest of the five agree and they walk around until they find a burger joint.

"Ehhhh I'm not a fan of hay burgers maybe they have salad." Blaze mumbles to herself while the other four walk into the burger joint, Soarin walks up to the counter and begins to order.

*MEANWHILE*

Rainbow Dash is board out of her mind listening to Pinky Pie and cheese sandwich drone on and on "OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! They just keep talking and talking its like watching Twilight talk about a book but like times ten!" She thinks to her self as she hits her head on the table. Just then the five pony's walk in and she looks over her ears perks up she notices something familiar about the one in front. His eyes and that smile it had to be.

"Soarin!?" Rainbow yells across the burger joint from her booth. The call reaches the stallions ear making him stop in his tracks and look over at her as she gets up from Pinkie's table and runs over to him.

"No way, Little Rainboom!?" Soarin said as his face lit up as Rainbow Dash came over and saluted."Hehe calm down ,Rainboom, no need to formalities. I'm here on vacation!" He says smiling and scratching the back of his head with his hoof.

"No way! Your vacationing in Ponyville are you alone where are the others?" Rainbow dash asked as she put her hoof down Blaze and Misty look at each other with eye brows raised while the two continue to talk.

"There right behind me!" Soarin explained to her. "Well five of us. My sister, High Winds and the other six are in Phillydelphia right now," the two ponies continued to chatter on until they were interrupted.

"Say Rainbow Dash........How did you recognize Soarin and not the rest of us?" Surprise asks confused as Rainbow Dash's pupils shrunk as she remember too many late nights with her hoof and wonderbolt tabloids after a while of that she begin to find similarities.

"Uhhh you know he got me through basic," shes says scratching the back of her head with her hoof and blushing a light red. "So you guys are on vacation? What are the famous Wonderbolts doing today flight training?" She asks trying to hold in excitement for her idols.

"Uh, actually we are bored out of our minds. So we came in here because we were looking for something eat!" Wave Chill says from behind Soarin.

"Say, Rainboom, you wanna chill with us? After all I still need to properly thank you for saving my life?" Soarin asks her with his signature goofy smile.

"Omgomgomg they want to hang out with me!? No way in hell and I thought this day was gonna suck!" Rainbow dash thinks to herself but trys to say cool in front of her idols. "Uhhh yea sure whatever if you want me to im just chillin' you guys want to get a table?" The six find a extra large booth to sit in while surprise went to go order. The ponys all talk expect soarin who was staring out the window Rainbow dash begins to stare at him.

"Jeez i never relisted how Soarin looked with out his suit," she thinks as her eyes inspect his body his light blue coat was clean and slick. His mane was so blue it was perfectly slicked back to his neck. He looked over at her and his apple green eyes pierced her magenta ones and he smiles lightly. "His......eyes," her thought was broken by a feint voice.

"Rainbow Dash!" Misty may yelled and dash shook her head and looked at Misty. "Damn Dash your staring at Soarin like Soarin stares at pie," she says with a chuckle just as Surprise comes back with there food after a while of eating the pony's just finished there meal and were talking nothing other then what pegasi love most flying then Wave Chill chimes in.

"Hay you guys wanna hit a bar i'm super thirsty." he says looking over a Soarin. "Come on soarin you know you want a drink!

"Uh sure say rainboom you wanna join us?" Soarin asks to Rainbow Dash with his goofy signature smile.

She wanted to seem cool in front of the Wonderbolts even through all her bravado the fear of being looked down upon weighed heavily on her. The six got up and headed for the door but Rainbow Dash stopped and looked back."Oh yeah I forgot about Pinkie Pie," she thought looking back at the couple drinking a root beer float with two straws. "Jeez those two are met for each other," she says as she walks out of the fast food place.

The six ponies walk into the local watering hole and talk a seat at booth. "Alright first rounds on me what you guys want?" Blaze asks the group as they confide on beverages. "Alright Misty wants a vodka cranberry Wave wants bloody mary Surprise wants a pina colada Soarin wants a jack and coke and what do you want Dash?"

"Um.... I'll just have a water" Rainbow Dash says nervously she really didn't want to reject there company.

"You sure? its cool I'm sure you'll be fine your 20 not 16" surprise says bumping her shoulder "im sure the bartender would let one of the elements of harmony kick one back!"

"Uh no i'm fine i'm not really a drinker," she states with a nervous giggle and a cold sweat praying that they wouldn't reject her.

"Its cool, Dash you know Fleet foot doesn't drink eater no need to be all nervous your fine!" Blaze says to a sweating dash "alright ill be back with your orders," Rainbow dash sighs in relief as Blaze walks up two the bar to get there orders.

"Sooooo Soarin I didn't know you drank," Rainbow Dash said casually looking over at the stallion trying to get some sort of conversion going on.

"Uhhh not really i'm more of a soda stallion myself but Blaze she can drink anyone under a table its freaking awesome ive never seen anything like it!" He says watching blaze come back with their drinks.

"Alright there we are" Blaze states triumphantly raising a glass. "Now lets toast to a great spring break!" She and everyone else raises their glasses and take a sip and all the ponies starting chatting up.

"So Rainbow Dash where did you grow up?" Wave asked openly.  "Anything exciting?".

"Well I grew up in Cloudsdalle just had a normal child hood I guess you know mom and dad brother all that I really wanted to be a wonderbolt for most of my life but I met my friends and i could never leave now," she said staring at her glass of water and smiling.

"Well never mind that lets get this party stared," Surprise yells.

A few hours later they were lit. Misty was passed out in the booth next to Surprise. Blaze was at the bar taking shots of tequila and Soarin and Wave Chill were standing on the bar singing my own worst enemy by lit in unison.

"Jeez the Wonderbolts can really party wish i could chill with them every day," Rainbow Dash thinks to herself in the booth with passed out party poopers.

"A dance ma lady?" He says with a snarky smile she blushes a warm pink across her muzzle as she takes his hoof and they get up on the bar and do the world famous chicken dance.

After a few more drinks the six were kicked out off the bar it was one in the morning and they were super drunk. "That was so awesome you've got some real moves rainboom!" Soarin complemented the drunk mare with a hiccup as they wobbled back to the hotel with both Surprise and Misty on his back and Wave who wasn't paying much attention to anything and Blaze running around yelling from the vodka and redbull.

"Why didn't we hangout sooner? Your like the coolest mare I know!" He says wobbling with her down the street.

"G-gee thanks I do my best ya know." she says her face red with blush as they continue to chat as they walk.

They soon reach the Ponyville hotel the streets were bare and dark and Wave was puking into the bushes. "Hay thanks rainbow dash for coming out with us it was really fun." Soarin says barely able to stand.

"No problem. Honestly I should thank you made my a hell of a lot better! I really would love to hang out with you again"! She says with a hick up.

"Definitely! You are the shit!" He said falling over drunkenly and Dash laughs so hard she had stomach pains.

"Alright alright I got to get home ya big lug," she said still laughing

"Uhhh you, OK to fly Dash?" Soarin says barely able to keep his eyes open.

"Immm f-fine!" She says as she takes off.

"A-almost h-home," Rainbow dash says as she starts the lose altitude and starts spinning....she crashes into the window of Sugarcube Corner....
