Chapter 23 Time for a vacation

''So where are we going?'' Twilight asked as they boarded the train.

''You'll just have to see'' Rainbow Dash said as she winked to her marefriend with a teasing smile.

They were heading towards one of the most tropical and hidden places in Equestria. The journey took them multiple days.

''And we are almost there!'' Rainbow Dash said as they exited the train and Dash quickly spread her wings to get some air. She hadn't flow for most of the train trip. She started flying towards a small docking area with some ships in the distance.

''Dash can you please tell me where we are going?'' Twilight asked with curiosity as she caught up with Dash.

''That island right there!'' Dash said with a smile as she pointed to a small island in the distance. Twilight could almost not see it because it was almost as small as a dot.

''I don't think I have ever even heard of this place! Dash must have really searched hard to find something that I haven't even heard from'' Twilight thought to herself as a small smile started appearing on her face.

The small trip towards the docks was had in silence as Twilight just watched Dash and the joy her marefriend had finally being able to fly again.

Though she was able to go outside of other trains in the one they were on it was strictly forbidden.

They landed on the docking bay and walked towards one decent sized ship. Rainbow Dash would love to just fly towards the island but she knew it would be too far for Twilight. Though Twilight had advanced a lot in her flying skills since she started teaching her she still had her limits.

1 hour after boarding the ship.

Twilight saw Rainbow Dash looking over the railing of the boat with a concerned look as she walked over to her.

''You okay Dash?'' Twilight asked with a smile though a small concerned expression slept through as she sat down next to her marefriend.

''I'm fine Twi... It's just what if it isn't like what they said it would be. I spend quite a lot of time searching for something you would like''

''Oh Dash this is not just about the destination. I'm happy as long as I'm with you!'' Twilight said with a smile before closing the gap between their mouths.

After a couple of moments, Dash broke they kiss and looked into Twilights deep violet eyes before speaking up.

''Thanks, Twi that means a lot. Next time don't get so sappy, though!'' Rainbow Dash said as her usual cocky grin appeared once more on her face.

Twilight let out a little giggle as she made herself more comfortable next to her marefriend. The two looked out into the horizon when Rainbow Dash suddenly felt something soft brush against her back. As she looked over her shoulder she saw Twilight's wing spread over her back and then a wave of warmth was sent across her back. Rainbow Dash lowered her head in Twilight neck nuzzling slightly before she found the perfect spot to lay her head on.

After a while, the boat reached the docks on the other island. As the boat slowed down and the water around it calmed down Twilight looked beside her only to find Dash asleep.

She kissed her on her forehead and spoke up,

''We're here Dash''

''Only 2 more minutes'' Dash mumbled with closed eyes.

Twilight refolded her wing to her side and Rainbow Dash noticed almost instantly and her eyes started to open slowly because of the change of temperature.

Rainbow Dash stood up and started stretching while she yawned with her eyes closed.

When she opened them again she saw Twilight already started levitating their luggage.

She quickly galloped towards her and lifted some on her back.

The couple chatted and went to the reception to get checked in and then walked until they reached their small house on the beach.

Rainbow Dash opened the front door and spoke up with a cocky grin,

''Princesses first'' She said while bowing down and keeping the door open with one hoof.

Twilight rolled her eyes and proceeded inside.

After the two ponies settled inside and they decided to look around the vacation resort.

After the huge walk around most of the resort, Rainbow Dash felt like relaxing for a bit.

Rainbow Dash shot up into the air and flew over the ocean as she folded her wings and fell down into the water.

Twilight looked as her marefriend dove into the water she waited a couple of seconds but she didn't come up.

As her worrying started to grow she decided to go after her.

Twilight dove into the water and searched. As she almost ran out of air she started heading for the surface.

As her head reached above the water she took a huge gasp of air only to have a stream of water blocking her view.

When it stopped she opened her eyes and saw Rainbow Dash hanging upside down.

''Dash! Why did you do that?!'' Twilight yelled with an angry expression.

''What? It was the only way to get you into the water!'' Rainbow Dash replied as she rolled hey eyes.

When her eyes locked on to Twilight again she saw that Twilight was still mad at her.

''Ugh fine I'm sorry I won't do it again'' Dash said as she looked at her with a sad expression.

''Can we swim now?'' Dash asked with huge puppy eyes as a slight glance of hope appeared on her face.

''Sure'' Twilight replied with a slight smile as any trace of her frustration left.

''I still cannot believe that you got scared by a fish!'' Rainbow Dash said as she rolled on the ground laughing.

''And you got scared because of a ghost' back at the sister's old castle''

''Hey... I...'' Rainbow Dash tried to counter Twilights argument but couldn't find any words.

Twilight teased Dash as she put out her tongue and walked past her and into their vacation house.

''Hey!'' Dash yelled embarrassed as she flew into the house and closed the door behind her.

A while later,

The two laid in each other comfort with a cozy blanket over them as they were fast asleep.

When suddenly Dash's ears started twitching as a slight breeze went into her ear.

''Come to me'' Rainbow Dash heard a voice say.

She stood up out of the bed and started to walk. When she opened the door Twilight woke up.

''Dash where are you going?'' Twilight asked with a confused look as she rubbed her eyes.

Rainbow Dash walked trough the door opening and started walking on the beach.

Twilight removed the blankets and followed her outside.

Once she reached Dash she laid a hoof on her shoulder and asked ''Dash?''

Suddenly a breeze came by again and Rainbow Dash almost fell when she got her balance back she looked at Twilight.

''Huh? How did I get outside?'' Dash asked as she looked at Twilight while giving her a confused look.

''You mean you don't know?'' Twilight replied as they both look confused at each other.

Author's Note

And that's it for this chapter!
I know I said it would be longer but I seem to find it very hard to write longer chapters.
So I will not promise it again! I'll simply write and see how long they become.

Sorry for being away for a while but I kinda lost the motivation to write for a while.
(Also I might have said that they would go on vacation with their friends somewhere before but I didn't find that part as of yet. This is incorrect for at the moment and I'm not sure if they will be joining them later)
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter! And please don't feel afraid to leave feedback it always helps!
