A Tale of Two Wings

   Rainbow Dash gave him an extremely worried look. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." he said. He started hovering over the floor, like nothing was even wrong with him. He felt the pain, but he was trained to resist it. So it wasn't as intense as it would have been to a pegasis who WASN'T in the Wonderbolts. "I dunno... Your back is scratched up real bad. Lemme go get a cool, wet, wash-cloth." she said. She soon came back with the cloth and gently dabbed his wounds. It was a white wash-cloth, so the blood would stain, but that didn't matter to Rainbow. She could alwIays buy more.

   "Thanks, Dashie..." he said, blushing. "Why should you be thanking me? Your the one who saved me." she said, still gently tenting to the scratches on him. "But you saved me twice. It was the only way I felt I could repay you. And besides. You don't see many rainbows anymore. So I figured I'd keep this one around for a while longer." he said, smiling in a way that made Dash's heart melt.

   When the wounds stopped bleeding, she carefully wrapped them in gaws. "Be careful not to let those open. You don't want scars all over your back, do you??" Dash asked, half sarcastic. A moment passed without speaking or action, or even movement.

   Tank slowly walked in the living room with a piece of paper in his mouth. He walked up to Soarin and nudged his leg. "Hey little buddy! Whatcha got there?" he asked, taking the paper from his mouth. Soarin unfolded the paper, revealing an obviously drawn picture by and about Rainbow Dash and Soarin kissing. Dash's face turned bright red, as red as the streaks in her hair, as Soarin looked at it. She glared at her turtle, who closed himself up in his shell. "I d-don't... I mean, it's just-" she was cut off by Soarin, who pulled her in for a kiss. Her eyes flew open and her pupils shrunk. Then, she slowly closed them. Tank peeked out of his shell. He saw what was going on and shot right back into his shell.

   When the kiss ended, the two were silent. There was nothing to say. They just looked into eachother's eyes. Tank noticed they weren't paying attention to him, and bolted out of the room. Well, bolted as fast as he could for a turtle....

   Later that night, after Soarin left, Rainbow Dash swooped up Tank and hugged him tight. "I LOVE YOU! ILOVEYOUILOVEYOUILOVEYOU!!" she shouted to him, still holding him firmly in her grasp. "Thank you so much for that! I don't know if I would have kissed him or if he would make the first move but come on I mean really thank you thank you thank you thank you-" Tank shoved a foot in her mouth, telling her to shut up. "Oh, whoops... Sorry..."

   "Rainbow Dash! Hey! Hey Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie called to her friend, who was doing the weather. The rainbow mane'd pony fluttered down to the earth level. "Yeah, what's up Pinkie Pie?"  Rainbow asked. "I need a favor!" the now bouncing pony offered. "Sure? Whatcha need?" Dash asked. "Just come with me." Pinkie said, motioning the pegasis to follow. "And close your eyes until I tell you to open them!"

   Rainbow Dash was puzzled when she opened her eyes. She was in a room. A room with walls of white, a big table with a cake and two plates and forks, a couch, a tv, and an enormous big-enough-to-fit-an-entire-pony-and-still-have-room-left-over ballon that was connected to an air surculator. But the ballon was black, so she couldn't see inside of it. "Well, see ya in a couple hours!!" Pinkie shouted, and closed the door. Dash ran to the door, but she heard a click, meaning Pinkie locked it.

   "Hello?!" she called. "Hellooo?" no answer. Dash was starting to worry. Was she gonna be in this room by herself for however many hours Pinkie was talking about? The whole room was white and had no windows. The only colorful things were the items that the room contained. But out of all of the objects, she was most deffinately the most colorful one.

   Suddenly, without warning, the big black balloon burst and out flew Soarin. It shocked Rainbow Dash and she felt as if she might faint because of her sudden extreme heart rate. Yes, it was most deffinately him, even though the scratches and gaws were completely gone. He saw Dash getting light headed, and zipped in to hold her steady. He slowly walked her to the couch and sat her down.

   "Sorry... Pinkie Pie told me to do it. Something about... I don't even know. Man, that girl can talk FAST!!" Soarin apologized. When Dash regained balance, she spoke: "It's fine... And she said I'm gonna be in here for a couple hours... So why not make the best of it?" "Yeah! Good thinking." he said, and flopped down onto to couch next to Dash.

   Dash got the remote and turned on the TV. She surfed through channels, but realized the only shows were romance shows. She turned off the TV. "Okay, maybe there's a comedy movie in here somewhere..." Soarin said, looking through the drawers of the entertainment center that held the TV. Sure enough, they found a couple comedies. Dash popped one in the DVD player and fast-forwarding through the Adds. She had watched plenty of movies before and was pretty much an expert at the fast-forwarding.

   When the movie was over, the two of them were getting kinda hungry. Dash had before seen a delicious looking cake sitting on the table. Soarin went over to cut each pegasis a slice. It was vanilla-lemon with butter-cream frosting in and on the cake. The pegasi licked their lips and dove in. It was the best cake each had ever had. When they had finished, they gave eachother a look that said, "More..." So they each cut another slice of cake.

   When the pegasi finished eating, they were tired. It was a rich cake and sat comfortably in their bellies. They walked over to the couch and each sat down next to eachother and turned on the TV again. The romance movies made it relaxing in the room and the two eventually fell asleep, their heads leaning on eachother.

   When they awoke a half hour later, they flew around the room to stretch out and wake up fully. The room was surprisingly larger than it seemed. It wasnt easy to tell the width and length of the room just by looking at it; especially since the whole room was completely white but the furniture. "This room is huge! It looked so small!" Dash exclaimed, as if it were the biggest surprise of her life. "I know!" Soarin said, and started flying in circles, going faster and faster. "What are you doing?" Rainbow asked giggling. "I don't know... There isn't a whole lot to do in here..." Soarin replied. And to Rainbow Dash's surprise, there wasn't a whole lot to do in there.

   "I wonder when Pink's gonna let us out?" Dash wondered out loud. Soarin nodded in a agreement. Soaring did a flip and tried to entertain himself, but failed. So he just flopped back down on the couch. Rainbow Dash followed and sat next to him. Suddenly, the whole room got cloudy with a green gas. The two coughed and soon blacked out.
