My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

    Soar and Dash into the Rainbow!

Chapter 1- New Beginnings!

Soarin's P.O.V

Today is the day we have our first non-destroyable routine with my team, The Wonderbolts! I hope Rainbow Dash doesn't try to show off like the last time. She was going okay until she started to- Ugh! Why am I talking about her? Anyway, Spitfire, the captain came banging on my door.

“Soarin! Open this door right now!”

I sighed as I opened the door. She looked like she was about to choke me, because you should have seen her eyes. They looked like daggers. Piercing through me.

“Why are you looking at me like that?! You are supposed to be outside with us, and what are you doing?”

Oh snap! She saw me in my bed with the blankets over me. I was about to scream! But, she looked at me with a more deadly stare. I got up quickly so she won't be screaming at me while I get dressed.

“Sorry, Spits. I think I over slept. I am a very busy stallion as you know.”

“I also know that you are kind of lazy. Every pony was looking all over for you. Even Rainbow Dash.”

I just love it when somepony says Rainbow Dash. It just fills my heart. Okay, to be honest, I have a small crush on her. But, it's not like I will be a bumbling idiot around her. That's nerd ponies, and I am not a nerd pony. I am cool.

“Soarin! Pay attention. Get dressed. Meet me outside with the others in less than 3 minutes,” Spitfire yelled while slamming the door.

I walked to my dressing room and sighed. I hope I can make a great impression for being late. As I slipped in my uniform, I realized that my 3 minutes were up. I ran down the stairs and saw everypony looking at me. Including Rainbow Dash.

“Uh, Hehe. Hey everypony, what's up?” I stammered while walking to my spot as I saw Rainbow Dash in the corner of my eye.

“Hey Soar!” She yelled.

“Oh, Uh, hehe, hi.” I said bumbling like an idiot. She looked at me like I was stupid which I was at the time. Fleetfoot, which was my partner, was shaking her head at me while Spitfire blew the whistle.

“Mr. Skies, you finally showed up. I just wanted you ponies to know that we are doing another routine together, and I hope that we won't make a dramatic entrance.” Spitfire replied while looking at Rainbow.

Everypony looked at her including me. She was slightly blushing from the embarrassment that everypony was looking at her. She then said: “I won't make another dramatic entrance, ma'am.”

“Huh, you better. Anyway, we will be doing some crazy tricks this time around.”

Spitfire said.

“Yeah! Like the Triple Spin Deluxe. Which, ya know, I can pull it off,” I said while trying to impress Rainbow Dash that I am awesome.

“Uh, Soarin? What are you doing?” She said as she was totally confused. I don't think she knows how to flirt with somepony. Maybe that's not her thing.

“Okay, wiseguy. Let's see it.” Spitfire  declared.

“See what?” I questioned as Fleetfoot rolled her eyes.

“The Triple Spin Deluxe! Show every Wonderbolt what you're made of.”

I froze in shock as I saw the tension running down on my shoulders. I was just trying to impress Rainbow. Now, I am going to embarrass myself in front of my secret crush. My life is completely over!

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

I watched how Soarin was sweating and just looking in the sky in a daze. I wanted to poke him or something until-

“Come on Soarin! You can do it! Or are you chicken?” Fleetfoot screamed making a couple of Wonderbolts laugh. I stood there feeling sorry for my friend but I always wanted to see the Triple Spin Deluxe. Soarin, had a determined look on his face and started flying in the air. I looked at him with wonder until he was spinning all over the sky and fell back onto the Earth.

“Welcome back!” Spitfire replied sarcastically. When she said that, she took my hoof and was showing me some pointers about our new routine. I snickered while I was walking past Soarin in the ground. He groaned in pain as he was getting up from the ground.

“Crash, that is NOT how you do the Triple Spin Deluxe. It takes lots of practice and learning expertise.” Spitfire reassured me.

As we walked down the runway, Rapidfire was walking along with us. And he gets crazy when he sees a mare he likes. Trust me, Soarin told me to stay far away from him as possible.

“What up, Crash? How you doing today? Soarin was terrible, wasn't he?” Rapidfire said.

“Well, he was bad, but at least he tried.” I smiled sheepishly trying to backup my friend.

“Rapidfire, can you please excuse us? I am trying to explain to Crash that our routine will be epic.” Spitfire said getting angry. I sighed extra loud so Rapidfire can leave us.

“Oh, I see. You guys want to be alone. Okay, see you later, Crash.” Rapidfire replied while winking at me. I rolled my eyes as he left. I hate it when he does that! He's so annoying, so arrogant, so-

“Now, you can learn about our formation. This formation is very hard for newbies to do,” Spitfire said.

‘Then why do I have to do it? Can I have a solo performance for myself?” I questioned.

“Hmm, I guess you're right. Okay, Crash. You are going to have your own performance. Unless…..”

I stopped, looking at her with a stern face.

“Unless you can control yourself and don't make a dramatic entrance.” Spitfire smiled. I shook my head and saluted her making sure that I won't make that horrid mistake. She left me as I started to walk to the Wonderbolt campus, where they practice their routines. I peeked through the door as I saw them training. I could here Spitfire’s remarks very loudly.

“Come on guys! Move faster!”

I laughed as I heard what she was telling them. I opened the door quickly so nopony could find me. I hid under the table close enough to hear what the others were saying.

“Uh, Capitan? Where is Rainbow Dash?” Soarin asked. He was doing wing-ups and he stopped just to ask that question.

“She's trying to see what tricks she can do for her solo.” Spitfire declared with a shrug.

“What?!” Fleetfoot screamed. “How come you give her a solo but not me? I am so much better than her!”

That's when it ticked me! Nopony, and I mean NOPONY is better than me! I flew to the sky and screamed: “Hey! Nopony is better than me! And you need to stop! Are you jealous because I got a solo and not you?!”

Some Wonderbolts were coughing and it was awkward silence. Fleetfoot was shocked and Spitfire was looking at me with an icy face.

“And I thought that you were practicing for your solo performance.” Spitfire said shaking her head.

“I am. I made my first pattern already,” I lied. I didn't even touch on my first pattern. I was so distracted by the group routine. I could see Soarin feeling so embarrassed because, you know, we're friends.

“Okay, what did you do first?” Spitfire replied giving me concerning look. I hate it when she does this. I think she does this on purpose because she knows that I am lying. She's probably used to it.

“Oh, um, I, um, I had this, um,” I stammered. I looked like a complete fool. I bet if I was in Spitfire’s shoes, I probably looked like an idiot.

“Ugh, since Soarin is the only Wonderbolt that knows the routine by heart, he can help Rainbow Dash with her solo routine.” Spitfire said.

“What?!” I shouted. I can't pair up with Soarin! This is a total nightmare.

Soarin's P.O.V

As Spitfire called my name to help Rainbow Dash, my heart melted. Okay, I am being overdramatic. I like her and everything but, it was a once in a lifetime dream. I tried to shake off my true feelings.

“What? Why do I have to do it?” I lied trying to sound like I don't like her and stuff. Spitfire gave me a “I'm about to kill you” look. I didn't want her to rattle out on me, so I said: “Yes ma'am!” And I took Rainbow Dash's hoof so we can walk outside quickly.

“Hey! What's the big idea?” She said with a huff.

“I didn't want Spitfire to be mad at me.” I replied.

“Uh, I think everypony doesn't want her to yell at them. I really don't have anything planned. I'm lost.” Rainbow Dash said truthfully.

“Well, that's why I'm here. So,what do you want to do?” I asked giving her a smile. Inside my stomach had too much butterflies. I was so happy to be helping her. Okay, I need to stop. We are just friends. But, how can you resist such an athletic, strong, beautiful mare? Her flowing mane, her strong hooves, and those eyes. Those beautiful, magenta eyes. I could stare at them all day.

“Uh, Soarin? Why are you staring at me like that?” She asked with a confused look.

I turned my head away. Blushing from the fact that I was daydreaming into her eyes. What really made me shocked was that she seemed to be blushing, too. Did she like me, too?  That question was in my head the whole time.

“So, um, this is awkward. Let's start. Well, what do you want me to do? I can do it.” She smiled pulling me to the field. As we got to the field she wanted a request.

“Can we race first? I want to stretch my wings!” She said. “1,2,3..GO!!” She screamed as she flew high into the air.

“Hey!” I yelled back. “Your cheating!” I said as I flew right after her. We flew for a good minute until I caught her and we both fell in the ground. We laughed and we stared into each other eyes. My eyes were locked onto her’s. I couldn't turn my head. It was to beautiful.

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

As we fell on the grass, I found myself underneath Soarin. I looked into his handsome, emerald eyes. Ugh, what am I saying! His eyes are nice but he was just staring at me. Something told me to move away, but I couldn't. I was just in awe looking at his gorgeous emerald- Ugh! Stupid mind. I just can't move. It was unbearable.

“Soarin? Can you get off of me, please?” I finally said as I tried to get up.

“Oh, Uh, sorry,” He replied getting off me. I turned my head to hide my blush. Wait, why am I blushing? I don't like him. Do I? Ugh! I hate my mind. Function right!

“It's okay. It was accident. We were just playing around.” I said embarrassed.

“Hey Rainbow!” a familiar voice replied happily.

“Aahh! Twilight! What are you doing here?!” I shouted being scared.

“I am here to see the preparations for the upcoming performance your group is doing. I am the only princess that was available on short notice.” Twilight sadly remarked. “But, I am happy I saw you. What are you doing by the way?”

“Oh uh, practicing for my solo performance. Soarin's just here to help me”. I stammered. Twilight gave a shrug and went to the Wonderbolts’ headquarters to see Spitfire. I took a deep breath and started to fly. Soarin told me to do some back flips and do the Double Spin Deluxe.

“Uh, if I saw you do the Triple Spin Deluxe and it was an epic fail, what makes you think I can do the double?” I yelled.

“Easy Dashie, I'll show you.” Soarin  reassured me.

Hold on a sec, did he just call me Dashie. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! I can't believe this. The only thing is, I had a blank expression on my face, and so was he.

Soarin’s P.O.V

Oh snap! I called her Dashie! Okay, calm down. She looks shocked. I should leave her alone unless she-

“What did you call me?!” She yelled.

Oh snap! Try to calm her down. “I just called you Dashie. Is that a problem?” I snapped.

“No, it's not a problem. It's just that Pinkie Pie only calls me that. And I don't really like other ponies calling me Dashie. My mom calls me Dashie. But, I'll cut you slack. But, that doesn't mean you can call me that whenever you fell like it.” She snapped. I felt more excited as I showed her how to do the Double Spin Deluxe.

Rainbow Dash's friend, came back and was talking to Spitfire. Spitfire somehow was pointing her hoof at me. I was a little shocked not recognizing the pony.

“Soarin, this is Princess Twilight. The Princess of Friendship. She's here to see what we do as Wonderbolts. Can you give her a tour, please?” Spitfire pleaded.

“It will be my-” I remarked as I was interrupted by a voice.

“Wait! Can I give the tour?!” Rainbow Dash screamed.

“Why?” Spitfire said stomping her hoof rapidly.

“Princess Twilight is my friend. And in her castle, I have my own throne. And we need to talk about some important friendship duties. Right Twilight?” Rainbow Dash smirked nudging Twilight.

“Uh, right?” Twilight said as she was pulled over by Rainbow Dash.

I shook my head as I went back to my practice.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

As I was walking with Twilight, she stopped me.

“Okay, I have one question for you. Who is that stallion? Is he your friend?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, and? He's a good friend. He was giving me pointers on my routine. Because Spitfire gave me a solo.” I said.

“Oh, I hope you don't crash into a tree like last time.” Twilight smiled sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and told Twilight how I promised Spitfire that I won’t be doing any mistakes this time around.

“So, is he a good friend?” Twilight asked.

“Of course! He's a great friend. He is kind, caring, and-”

Oh no! I don't know what to say. He is a good friend but what should I say. Should I talk about his handsome, emerald eyes that I would love to- Oh my gosh! Stop talking. Ugh, what to say, what to say.

“Rainbow, are you okay? You look kind of stiff. You want to relax?” Twilight said kindly.

“Yeah! Relaxing would be great you know why? Relaxing is so- oof!

I bumped into someone, but who? I realized it was Soarin. He kind of smiled at me. Which made me blush. Okay, why did I blush, again? Do I like him? Do I?

“Hey Dash, we need to stop bumping into each other.” He said with the same nice smile and sort of blushed.

“Oh, uh, hehe, thanks.” I replied as my cheeks flushed and it was pink. He walked away as Twilight came up to me and said: “So he's the friend you were talking about?”

“Uh Yeah! He's a great friend.” I smiled.

“You sure you guys are friends? You were blushing like crazy when you bumped into him.” Twilight remarked.

Oh snap! She saw me, blushing?! Oh no! I am doomed! Doomed I tell you! Okay, calm down. She won't say this to my friends right? Oh no! We have a sleepover party tonight. Okay, I just need to pray and hope that she doesn't say anything about me tonight.

“We still have our party tonight, right?” I asked trying to change the subject. Twilight nodded her head and told me that she will see me later. She flew away and I started to pack away my things so I can get ready for this slumber party.

“Crash, why you going home early?” Rapidfire replied giving me a smirk.

“I have an important meeting with my friends tonight. Don't want to be late.” I said trying to get away from him. Like I said before, he's love crazy with a mare he likes. And to be honest, he kind of likes every mare here.

“Okay, I should, you know let you get to your meeting. You want company?” He smiled as his wing covered my back. I squealed in surprise and I pushed him saying: “Back off!”

“Okay. I'll leave you be. Tomorrow, then?” He smiled. I put on a fake smile as he left. I gave a disgusted face as I flew home. This stallion needs some serious help. He was covering my back like he was going to do something to me. I flew a little faster as I headed to Twilight’s castle. “This slumber party is going to be one heck of a ride.” I muttered to myself.
