Soar and Dash into the Rainbow!

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

  Soar and Dash into the Rainbow!

Chapter 11- Honesty is Key!

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

As my friends, family, and Zephyr was all in the living room getting ready to play Truth or Dare, my dad raised his hoof.

“Before we begin, I will set some rules in this game.”

Cirrus and I both gave a loud groan and Soarin covered his face, remembering the bad memory that my dad said to him when he was setting some rules.

“I only have one rule: Nopony give anypony any inappropriate dares or truths. Example, if you ask Rainbow to kiss Soarin.”

My cheeks got red. My dad did not just use me in an example in which my friends will think it's true.

“Dad! Can you please use a different example without using me and Soarin in it?” I pleaded.

“Yes, Rainbow Blaze. We must get on with the game. And like my husband said, don't ask some kissing dares and personal truths. Now, let's play! Who'll go first?” My mom said looking around. “Hmm, Cirrus. Truth or dare?”

“Truth. I'm not so sure about your dares.”

“Okay, is it true that you are pregnant?”

I looked at my sister. If she was getting her own foal, I would celebrate for her.

“Is it true? Are you pregnant?” I asked in a soft voice.

“Yeah, I am.”

My head exploded. I was so happy and excited. I jumped on my sister and gave her a hug.

“I'm so proud of you! I'm going to be an aunt. That is like so AWESOME!!!!!” I said as I was hugging her tightly.

“Rainbow, sweetie! Watch the baby!” My mom screamed as she pushed me off.

“Mom, it's okay. I'm only 3 months.”

“Wow! Now, I can make a baby shower. Wait, did you get married? Who cares! I need to make a party! And that is my job! You need to tell me you need a party! I need energy! Party gives me energy!!” Pinkie Pie replied. Everypony shook their head.

“Let's continue with the game. Anyway, uh, Twilight. Truth or dare?” Applejack said with a sly grin.

“Hmm, dare! No, wait, truth? Dare? Ugh! Just dare.”

“Okay, I dares ya to gargle a gallon of milk for 20 seconds.”

Twilight went into the kitchen and actually took a gallon of milk and started to gargle it. At 15 seconds, she couldn't hold it any longer. She spat some milk out and was able to breathe.

“Um, Zephyr. Truth or dare?” Fluttershy asked her brother.

“Hmmm, truth.”

“Is it true that you can't go a day with perfecting your mane?” Fluttershy said deeply. Rarity jumped up.

“I know that is true for me. I must make my mane beautiful for any occasion especially if it is for formal ponies.” Rarity said with a huff.

“Yes, it is true. My mane needs absolute care every 10 seconds.” Zephyr said to Rarity. Rarity gave Zephyr a hoof bump for agreeing to his statement. Soarin looked at me and smiled.

“Dash, truth or dare?” He told me. I had to think choosing dare all the time gets a little boring. But, he asks me a truthful question and my friends know about it, it would end my life.

“Um, dare.” I said proudly.

“I dare you to wear a ballerina outfit and wear it for the rest of the night.”

My jaw was hanging off the ground. My sister was laughing at me and so were a couple of my friends. My face got red. My mom was giggling.

“There's one in your old closet.” My mom said while she was encouraging this.

I went upstairs and put on the pink ballerina outfit. I also put my hair in a ponytail. All of my friends told me that I looked cute. Soarin and Cirrus was laughing away. Zephyr nodded his head in disgrace and my mom and dad were speechless.

“You look like a little filly, again. I remember when you played dress up in one of my dresses. You were so cute.” My mom said making Applejack and Pinkie Pie laugh so hard, their faces were red.

“Mom, can we continue with the game, please?” I pleaded. My mom shrugged her shoulders and asked somepony else to continue.

“I hate you.” I whispered to Soarin as I sat next to him.

“Ha, I hate you, too. Besides, you look cuter like that.” He whispered in my ear. After hearing that I gave him a nudge on his hoof.

“Okay, Dad! Truth or dare.” I asked my dad. He looked at me and then at my mom. “Hmm, truth.”

“Hmm, is it true that you love me with all your heart?” I said with puppy dog eyes.

“What type of question is that? Of course he does. He's your dad.” Soarin said smacking me upside my head. I gave a little “Ow” as he hit me.

“Soarin's right. I do love you, and you too, Cirrus. You guys are my precious daughters.” My dad said. Cirrus put a hoof over a stomach.

“Yes, I know. And my little bundle of joy thinks so, too.” Cirrus replied while rubbing her stomach.

“Okay, you there, truth or dare?” My dad said as he pointed to Rarity. She seemed offended.

“Excuse me, Mr. Blaze, sir. My name is Rarity. And, I'll choose dare.”

“I dare you to lick the wall.”

“Seriously dad? You could have told her to lick the dirty sink.” I replied while laughing. My mom gave me a evil glare. Rarity gave a tiny lick to the wall and sat right back in her chair.

“This is so boring! Can we play a different game? Or we can watch a movie?! Please?!” Pinkie Pie begged in front of my mom.

My mom nodded her head and Pinkie Pie shoved in a DVD in the player and sat on the ground. My dad turned off the lights and asked Soarin to make pop some popcorn. Soarin gave a sigh and went into the kitchen. He started to look for where the popcorn boxes were.

Soarin's P.O.V

I looked everywhere for the popcorn boxes. Cabinet, shelf, table. Ugh, where could it be.

“Third cabinet to your left.” I heard a voice say. I turned around and saw Rainbow Dash having a little smirk while  leaning in the entrance. And boy, did she look good. I stood there in awe looking at her. Her body. It's so perfectly shaped. Okay, why am I thinking about these things. Come on Soarin. We're just friends. Nothing else.

“Um, Soarin? Everypony’s ready for the popcorn. Third cabinet to your left.”

“Oh, uh, yeah. Thanks.”

“No problem. Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, are you okay? You look weird. Anywho, pop the popcorn and let's watch the movie.”

“Okay. You need to wait. Be patient.”

After a few minutes it was done. I poured out the popcorn in a large bowl and carried it to the living room. Pinkie Pie passed the popcorn bowl around to everypony. Rainbow Dash sat next to me and we both shared some popcorn. I have no idea what movie we were watching. It was so quiet all you heard was chewing. Then….

“Ahhh!!!!!”

Everypony turned around and got scared. Rainbow's father turned on the lights and he was scared.

“Cirrus, what happened? Did something happen to the baby?!” Rainbow Dash said as she jumped over everypony to get to her sister.

“No, I just felt a kick. It was a hard one. But, I'm fine. Thank you everypony.” She said as she hugged Rainbow.

Zephyr turned off the lights and continued the movie. Everypony gave a sigh. Thank goodness nothing happened to her or the baby.

“Seriously?! We had all our hearts jumping for fright and then it was a kick? Really? That is just so-Ow!” Pinkie Pie shouted. Twilight smacked her across her head. “I didn't even hear when Optimus Prime said we are some organisms from the planet Cybertron!”

“Shush!” I heard some ponies say.

It was clear to me that we were watching Transformers. I never saw this movie before, but I heard that it was good. It was the part where the Autobots are having their war with the Decepticons. Everytime, they would fight and have those creepy jump scares, Rainbow Dash would clutch onto me. I smiled at her. She smiled at me. Soon, the movie was over.

“Wowee! That movie was so cool! Let's watch it again!” Pinkie Pie shouted and also did a cartwheel.

“No!!!!” Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Applejack yelled in unison.

“I think I need some private time for myself, actually.” I said as I went outside in the veranda.

I looked at the sky. Quiet, peaceful, and Luna's moon looked pretty tonight. Like Rainbow Dash. I can stop thinking about her. I love her. I love her so much. But, it's hard to tell her. Sometimes, I act dumb in front of her. And when we are close to each other, I just want to take her cheeks and kiss her. But it's just. It's just.

“Hey there, partner.” Applejack said as she sat next to me. “What happened?”

“It's nothing.”

“Soarin.”

“Applejack, I just want to be left alone.”

“Soarin.”

“If you want to know, you can't know, it's personal.”

“Soarin! Listen to me. I know you are not feelin’ well. You can tell me anythin’.”

“But. But. Okay, I'll tell you but you need to promise me that you won't tell anypony else.”

“Okay, I Pinkie Promise.”

“Okay, as you can see. I like Rainbow Dash.”

“Ha. It's pretty obvious.”

“But, I don't just like her. I love her. She's beautiful, she's awesome, and she's everything I dreamed of. Everytime I look into her eyes, it feels magical. Her eyes are just like beautiful magenta flowers that are blooming. And her mane flows like a waterfall. And her body, it's just so shaped. And her voice, is so mature. When she sings, birds hush themselves. When she laughs, a baby makes a smile. When she smiles, your whole day can't be terrible. That is how much I love her.”

“Wow. If ya love her some much, then why don't ya just tell her.”

“What?! Tell her in pony? Oh no! I can't do that. I see her as a friend, nothing else.”

“Well, the way ya made your description, it doesn't sound to friendly ta me. Just tell her how ya feel.”

“Like how I love her?”

“Yup.”

“Applejack, you don't know what it feels like to fall in love with somepony.”

“Are ya sure about that?”

“Wait, what?! You feel in love before?”

“Yup. But, I expressed my true feelin’s towards him. But, he didn't like me.”

“So, was it hard?”

“Nope. 'Cause I knew that tellin’ him that I like him, was my destiny. And you tellin' Dash that you like her, is destiny.”

“How do you know that she won't reject me?”

“Trust me, she won't. She never told me about who she liked but, she did tell me she liked somepony. And, you need to tell her that ya love her. It's pretty simple. Just tell it like it is.”

“So, just follow my heart?”

“Yup. But, you should do it quickly. That Rapidfire, dude, looks like he's comin’ back with a swing.”

“Hmm, you buck apples, right?”

“Um yeah? Why?”

“I might need some back up.”

“No problem. It was nice talkin’ to ya.”

“You too, Applejack. You're a great pony to talk to.”

“Thanks. Later.”

Applejack left me. I looked into the night sky. Applejack was right. I needed to face my fears and tell Dashie that I love her! But, where? Aha!

“I know the perfect place!” I said out loud.

“A perfect place for what?” Rainbow Dash said as she sat next to me.

“Waah!! Oh, you scared me. Sorry.”

“Na. It's okay. My friends were just leaving so I was about to ask you if you are ready to leave.”

“Oh, yeah. I was just leaving. But, I wanted to tell you something.”

“Oh yeah? What's that?”

I stared into her eyes again. Her beautiful eyes. Her big, magenta flowers. I wanted to sit there and stare into them.

“Come on, Soarin. Don't be a chicken. Tell her!” I thought as I looked at her.

“Um, I, um, I.”

“Yes?”

“I, um, I would like to hangout with you. Are you free tomorrow?”

“Um, yeah? I have nothing to do tomorrow.”

“Great! I'll pick you up around 5. This is just a hangout session, okay?”

“Ha ha. Okay. Tell me when you're ready to leave.”

“Okay, Dashie.”

Dashie, err, I mean Rainbow Dash went inside the house.

“Ugh, what was I thinking? Hangout session? I sounded so dumb. She'll never like me. Hmm, maybe I can tell her tomorrow. If I don't slip up. I got this. I can do this.”

I went inside to tell Dashie that I was leaving. She gave me a nice, toasty hug. I didn't want to let go. Her mane smelled like vanilla, again!

“Ahem. Rainbow, it's time for your bed time.” Her father said. She seemed to blush at fact that her dad said bed time in front of me.

“Dad. Seriously? I'm coming.”

Her dad went upstairs to his room. She made her sure her dad was gone.

“Good night, Soarin.”

“Good night, Dashie.”

I went outside while she closed the door. I flew home with a joy in my heart. I'm going to tell Dashie I love her tomorrow. And nothing's going to bring me down.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

As I closed the door, my heart felt so happy. I gave a lovely sigh as I skipped upstairs to my room. My sister had to share my room with me, so she saw my enthusiasm.

“What happened to you?”

“Nothing. How's the baby?”

“It's okay. Never had a kick so powerful in my life.”

“Where's Lighting Bolt?”

“He's on a trip. He'll be back in the next 5 days.”

“Okay.”

“You look so happy.”

“Because I am.”

“Oohh! I'm all ears.”

“Ha ha. Okay, Soarin asked me out.”

“Oohh! Somepony's going on a date.”

“No, he said it wasn't a date. We're just hanging out.”

“Okay. Enjoy.”

“Thanks. I will.”

“Of course. You got your bae beside you.”

“Cirrus! He's not my bae.”

“Hmm, he will be. Good night.”

“Don't try to change the subject! Ugh, fine good night.”

As I slept, I thought about Soarin and tomorrow. Oohh. I can't wait till tomorrow. I wonder what stuff he has planned. Well, one can only hope. And dream. I fell asleep. I dosed off dreaming about me and Soarin.

“One can only hope.” I said before snoring away. As I was dreaming about me and Soarin, together, I heard somepony say: “Eww, cover your mouth.” It was Cirrus. She hates it when I snore. I ignored her and kept on dreaming away.
