   Soar and Dash into the Rainbow!

Chapter 5- Confrontations and Complications!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

I am sitting here thinking about what Fluttershy to me. How can Soarin fall in love with me? I mean, I know I’m good looking but, wow! To impress a Wonderbolt with charm takes hard work.

“Are you sure Soarin has a crush on me?” I said as my voice cracked. “Let's not jump to conclusions. I know I'm irresistible but not that irresistible for a Wonderbolt to like me.”

“Aww come on Dashie.” Pinkie Pie chirped. “It's pretty obvious that he likes you. What stallion is jealous for another stallion to kiss a mare? The answer is, HE LIKES YOU!!!!!!”

“Thanks for screaming in my ear, Pinkie.” I replied. “How do you guys know he likes me?”

“Well, we are just making a statement.” Fluttershy said with a small cough. “Who knows, what if it's true?”

Okay. To be honest, I don't think that's true. Maybe he does. Maybe I like him. Okay. I need to tell my friends. It's about time I tell them I like him. Okay Dash, take a deep breath.

“Guys. I have a confession to make.” I said sheepishly.

“Really! What is it? Spill the beans!” Pinkie Pie said eagerly.

“Okay. To be honest. I don't want any pony else to know. Pinkie Promise?”

“Cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye!” My friends said in unison.

“Okay. I have a crush on Soarin.” I said as my cheeks were red.

All of my friends’ mouths were opened, wide. Twilight and Rarity were speechless. Pinkie Pie was in shock. Applejack and Fluttershy were looking at each other with a confused look.

“OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!! MY BESTEST FRIEND HAS A CRUSH ON SOARIN!!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST!!!! NOW, I HAVE TO MAKE A “IT'S YOUR FIRST CRUSH” PARTY!!!!! OOHH!!! TIME TO GET THE PARTY CANNONS!!!” Pinkie Pie screamed out in the restaurant.

“Pinkie!! I told you not to tell any pony!” I said getting angry.

“Sorry. But, I am so happy for you!! It's about time you got your own coltfriend.” Pinkie Pie said with a wink.

“He's not my coltfriend!!!!” I exclaimed. Everypony was looking in my direction.

“I think it's time for us to leave the restaurant. We are causing a lot of attention.” Twilight said getting out of her seat. Everypony else agreed with Twilight and left their seat. I put the money on the table and left with my friends.

“Twilight, how do I know he likes me?” I questioned.

“Ask him. I'm sure you have Wonderbolt duty. Well, see you tomorrow.” She said as she flew off.

I didn't tell my friends that Soarin didn't want to talk to me, anymore. Just thinking about that moment made me shed a few tears. I flew home and plopped myself onto my bed. I stared at the wall for a long time. I thought about Soarin, I thought about the party, and I thought about the kiss. I slept a few minutes after my hard thoughts. The next day, I saw Soarin, in the campus. I looked at him and went passed him.

“Hey. How're you holding?” Spitfire said as she put her hoof around my neck. She saw my face expression when we walked pass Soarin.

“Wow. Okay, so you really don't like him, now.” She said. I gave myself a nod. I bumped into somepony. It was Rapidfire!

“Hey, good looking.” He said as he used his wing to tap me. I gave him an icy glare and flew away.

“Yo, what happened to her?” Rapidfire said.

“Just leave her alone. She's going through some things.” Spitfire said as she left. Rapidfire gave one look at her and flew away.

Soarin's P.O.V

I am making some breakfast at the campus. And I happen to see Rainbow Dash in the corner of my eye. I rolled my eyes as I bumped into something soft.

“Ow! Hey, watch where you're-” I stopped. I saw Rainbow Dash in front of me with a sad face. Does that pony understand what “Get lost!” means? It's not like I hate her or anything. It's just that I got her mad and I told her I won't see her again.

“Hi.” She said softly. I could tell she didn't want to see me.

“Hi.” I replied back. We looked away from each other.

“Listen, it's not a good time to talk. I'm busy right now, okay?” I said walking past her.

“What are you doing?” She asked. Okay, she needs to leave. Soarin, why are you acting like a selfish jerk to her? Okay. I need to apologize.

“Listen, I'm sorry about the other day. I was just mad at Rapidfire for kissing you.” I said as I took a good deep breath. She looked so shocked.

“You were mad because he kissed me? That was it? I was pretty mad, too.” She said as we were walking together. “I really didn't want him to kiss me.”

“Then, why didn't you do anything?” I asked. I wanted details. Nopony kisses my Dashie and gets away with it! Okay, I'm going a little to far.

“Soarin, when you're in shock, you can't move. I was in shock. I didn't want him to kiss me. Then, out if the blue, he kissed me. To be honest, I didn't want him to kiss me. I hate him, Soarin.” She said truthfully. I gave her a smile.

“Yeah, me too.” I replied. “All he wants is mares to like.”

“Exactly!” She exclaimed. A lot of ponies turned their heads around.

“So, we're good?” She asked, giving me the cutest puppy dog eyes. How could I say no?

“We were always good. Friends have arguements.” I said giving her a hug. She hugged me back. Her hair smells like vanilla. I kept sniffing her hair.

“Um, what are you doing?” I heard her say. I stopped sniffing her hair.

“Your hair smells like vanilla!” I said loudly. She gave me a confused look.

“You were smelling my hair?” She said as she looked even more confused. I bite my lip and stared at the wall.

“Yeah. When I was hugging you, the smell attracted my nose.” I said as I tried to cover up my tracks.

“It attracted your nose?” She remarked. “I'm not buying it. If you sniffed my hair it's fine. Just don't do it again, got it?!” She said as she gave me a stern look. I nodded my head as we flew away. We seemed to get along after that conversation. I smiled at her and she smiled at me.

“You know, we shouldn't fight ever again.” I said. She gave me a “seriously” look.

“What do ya mean? We will have fights but we will overcome them.” She said as she touched my hoof.

I slightly blushed as she smiled at me. This day wasn't bad. I thought it was going to be bad. But, turns out, it was better than I expected. I'm glad we’re friends, again. I hope our friendship remains. I hope we can become more than friends.
