Chapters Soarin flew through the clouds, blasting them as he zipped past. He was hitting an extremely high speed and had no intention of slowing, until...
"Hey, Soarin! If your gonna fly, you gotta do it right!" said a voice of a mare. He looked behind him, and realized he was excited to see her. The mare who saved his and two other Wonderbolt's lives. Rainbow hair, cyan, glossy coat... It was:
"Rainbow Dash! What are you-" he was cut off and was zipped passed by her. Meanwhile, doing her Super-Speed Strut, Rainbow Dash blushed. Something about him made her want to squeal. They'd never met properly, except for at the Royal Gala for about a minute. And for the fact he knew her name made her shoot up off the ground like a rocket and into the air.
Soarin watched as she blasted upward, flying with loops and spins and wicked close dives to the ground. Next, he watched as she flew around, leaving a rainbow trail behind her in the shape of a heart. Finally, she pulled up all too suddenly and shot way into the sky, going hundreds up feet in the air every second. He watched in amazement as she dove straight down, beginning the un-mistakable force of a Sonic Rainboom. She only flew a few more seconds before the Sonic Rainbow took place, leaving Soarin speachless.
Rainbow Dash saw the Wonderbolt flying in place from where she'd passed him up. And he'd seen every bit of it. "So awesome!" she said to herself, and flew away, wanting to just fly forever in happiness. The un-mistakable effects of a huge crush.
• • •
Soarin flew back to his cloud-home and laid in bed, thinking about that... That georgious mare. How she looped and cork-screwed and, oh, that Sonic Rainboom... He was in such a daze. He wished he could see her again. He wanted to. No-he NEEDED to. "Ugh... I wonder when I'll see her again?" he sighed. "Wait a second.... Why wait? I can find her; get a chance to talk to her some more!" she realized, and burst out of his own cloud-wall to his home, only for it to form back in place.
• • •
Rainbow Dash was reading the third book to the Daring Doo series when she she heard a knock at her door. She bookmarked her page, slid the hardback under her pillow, and answered the door. To her surprise, it was Soarin. He was holding bag of caramel-filled Hershey kisses. They they looked delicious, but she didn't want to be rude and stare at them, so she said, "Come on in!". Soarin blushed and walked in. "I brought you some of your favorite candies!" he said. "But, how did you know that was my favorite candy?" she asked, completely astonished. "You just look like that kind of pegasis," he said, actually truthful. He was great at reading pegasi and they're likes.
"So, Soarin. What brings you here?" she asked with a half smile. "Well, I saw your tricks earlier, and absolutely fell in love..." he said, looking into her eyes. Dash looked at him and blinked. "....with your moves, of course!" his face turned red and he cleared his throat. "Oh, um, of course!" Rainbow Dash blushed. "So, uhm, what's with the candy?" she asked, holding the surprisingly heavy bag. "Oh, well, when I saw you, I saw a kiss." he said. "A Hershey kiss, that is...!" he said awkwardly. "Right! A Hershey kiss. Those are my favorites...!" Dash said.
"Where are my manners?!" Dash suddenly asked, a hint of anger at herself in her voice. "Go ahead, sit down if you like. Want anything to eat? Or drink?" Rainbow asked. "Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that..." He reassured. "But it's no problem at all!" Rainbow Dash said, willingly. "No thank you." he said politely. Rainbow sighed, not of boredom, but because he liked him a lot and he was being just as stubborn as she was sometimes...
To break the awkward silence, Soarin suddenly flew up and exclaimed, "What are we doing sitting around here in silence? We're two of the most active and agile pegasi around! We could be exploding through clouds!"
"Or trying new tricks?" Rainbow asked.
"Racing eachother at extreme speeds?"
"Pulling pranks?"
"Getting a treat from SugarCube Corner?" Soarin asked. It was his way of asking Dash to go on a date. He wasn't shy to her when he was being himself. And he prayed she'd say
"Sure! Sounds like fun." Dash answered cheerfully.
• • •
It'd been a loooong time since Dash had been on a date, which is surprising. And now, she was being waited on by her best friend and was on the date with her dream-stallion. "What can I get for the lovely lady?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Can I get a Sonic Rainboom cupcake-extra rainbow juice-and a glass of milk, please?" Dash asked. "Sure thing! And what would the gent himself like to eat?" Pinkie asked, smiling. "May I have a chocolate-cherry-chunk cookie and some milk?" Soarin asked. "Absolutely!" Pinkie said, and dashed off.
Dash was about to get four bits out of her wallet, when Soarin held up his hoove. "Treats are on me." she said, winking. "You sure? I've got plenty of bits to pay for it..." Rainbow reasoned. "Nope. I've got this." he reassured. "Nope! I've got this! Treats are on me, tonight!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Pinkie,-" "Oh just accept it!" Pinkie winked, and bounced away.
Dash sighed, smiling. "Oh Pinkie Pie..." she giggled. Soarin smiled at the sight of Rainbow's beautiful smile. "So, Rainbow Dash. I've been wanting to ask you... How do you do it?" he asked, looking into her maroon eyes. "Do what?" she asked, confused. "All those tricks. Like the Super-Speed Strut and the Buckaneer Blaze, and the Sonic Rainboom? How do you do them?!" he asked in sheer amazement.
"Oh, those? Well... I-" she was cut off by Pinkie Pie, who bounced in with their treats. "Here you go! Extra rainbow juice Sonic Rainboom cupcake and the chocolate-cherry-chunk cookie. I'll be back with your drinks in a second." she said cheerfully, then bounced to the back. "Like I was saying... I start the Super Speed Strut by flying as fast as I can and pull to ground. Then I act like I'm walking but I'm flying and push off the ground into the air. It's easier than it sounds and doesn't take much practice. But, man, is it a show-stopper!" she exclaimed. Pinkie Pie shortly came back with a large glass of milk with two straws. "Pinkie Pie, we each ordered a small glass of milk. Not a big one." Dash said, puzzled. "Oh, I know. There arent any small glasses left, so i got you one big one. I hope you don't mind..." Pinkie said, tilting her head. "Oh, then its fine. Thanks, Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie bounced away. Soarin sighed. "You wouldn't mind me trying the Super-Speed Strut myself, would you?" he asked. "Sure! In I know just where we can practice..."
• • •
Soarin flapped his wings madly. When he couldn't flap them any fast, he burst into the air, flying into the deep-blue. He picked up speed from there and pulled toward the ground. He started trotting in the manner Dash did while still flying fast. Finally, he pushed his back hooves against the ground and soared back into the deep-blue.
"Great job, Soarin!" Dash winked, and flew up past him and shot a Buckaneer Blaze in a thunder cloud, leaving a huge boom. Soarin nearly jumped out of his wings. "Nice work, Rainbow!" Soarin said, smiling. Soarin blasted upward and moved some storm clouds close to eachother. "Watch a real show, here."
Soarin hit the clouds with his back hooves to see how high or low the boom was. When he concluded each pitch, he started to play Rainbow Dash's solo for At The Gala. When he hit the part where she sang "having kicks", he kicked the cloud too hard and it struck him with lightning. He bagan to fall at a high speed. But Rainbow Dash was faster. She zipped down and caught him just before he would have hit the ground and zoomed back up into the sky. She laid him gently on a puffy, soft white cloud and sat next him.
"Soarin? Are you okay? Soarin?" Dash asked nervously. He coughed and opened his eyes. "Dashie...? Wh-what happened..?" he asked. She blushed at the thought of him already giving her a pet name. "You got hit by lightning. But don't worry... I got you before you could hit the ground." she said, brushing back his mane. "Thanks." was all he could say to the pony who had now saved him twice. She had to have cared a lot about him to do that more than once. He felt warm inside. 'Maybe she really does like me, too...' Soarin thought.
He got up and stretched out. He started to flap his wings "A Wonderbolt never gives up." he said fiercely. He slowly rose from the cloud, and dove down toward the ground. He didn't say that he'd be back. So Dash thought he was leaving. She sighed. He came back with a beautiful white flower, and was about to come out from under the cloud when he heard Dash's voice. "*sigh* I guess he's leaving. Well, it was nice to hang out with my dream stallion for a day. Maybe he'll come back tomorrow..." she said in a low voice. And with saying that, she took off full speed. Soarin gasped after she left. "Dream stallion?" he said, smiling uncontrolably. "Maybe she's right. Maybe I will come back tomorrow. No-I will come back tomorrow!" he exclaimed, the white flower still in his hoof.
• • •
The next morning, Dash heard a knock at her door. She answered it, but no pony was there. Instead, she saw a white flower on her door step. It was beautiful. She picked it up and fixed a vase of water for it. "Lovely." she smiled.
Soarin decided to drop by Rainbow Dash's house later that day. He first wanted to plan something special for the two of them. But he had no experience with that kind of stuff! He'd never fallen for another pony before. So he decided to go to Sugarcube Corner to plan something for Dash.
"Well of course we can plan something special for Dashie! What were you thinking? A party? A day at the park? A movie? A show? A concert?" Pinkie threw out ideas. "Uh, a show. Infact, a special show. For us." he said. "I'll need to plan a meeting with some-pony, first."
• • •
After the meeting, Soarin had it scedueled with Pinkie. A show that would be especially great for the two of them, he and Rainbow, and he couldn't wait to do it.
• • •
He stopped by Dash's house every day and they talked. They became closer and closer each day. Finally, it was the day of the show Soarin had been planning. And he stopped by early that day to Rainbow's house. "Hey Dashie! I have a surprise for you!" Soarin shouted at Dash's door, as well as knocking. "Coming!" he heard her muffled voice call from inside she opened the door. "Come on in!" she said. "Actually, I have something for you!" he said, smiling in excitement.
In his hoove, he held up a ticket to the Wonderbolt's Airshow that was happening that very day. Rainbow gasped. "No way! Is that for me?!" she asked. He nodded happily. "Yup!" he said, and held it out for her to take. She grabbed it excitedly and hugged him tightly. This was her best day ever. She finally released him, not meaning to hug him for that long. But he obviously didn't mind it. "Its happening in about an hour, so let's get a move on!" he exclaimed, grabbing her hoove and the two flew away.
• • •
She got front row seats and got to see the Wonderbolts shoot out of an enormous, floating box in the center of the arena. She had her eyes specifically on Soarin, who was infact soaring through the air. "Yeah! GO SOARIN!" she shouted in the loud crowd. Soarin looked down to her and saluted. She sighed dreamily. "You wish!" a pink pegasis smirked. "He would never date a loser like you, Rainbow-mane!" she laughed. Rainbow growled and rolled her eyes.
The anouncer suddenly said, "Uh huh? What's that? Oh, I see. Yes. GREAT IDEA! The Wonderbolts would like to choose a pegasis from the crowd who thinks they've got the stuff! Who will it be? Spitfire shall choose!"
Rainbow Dash jumped up and down, waving her arms. She ignored the pink pegasis trying to bring her down. "Me me! Pick me!!" Rainbow Dash called. Spitfire looked directly at her, and pointed. The pink pegasis next to her gasped in anger. Rainbow Dash jumped up out of her seat in excitement. "WOO HOO!!" she exclaimed, and flew up next to the orange pegasis. The two flew towards the box, and the anouncer exclaimed, "And the winner of this contest is RAINBOW DASH!! Also known to have saved the Wonderbolts and perform the rarest trick, the SONIC RAINBOOM!" and the crowd went wild. Rainbow blushed, and Soarin came up next to her.
"Hey, Dashie! You get to fly and show your tricks! Go ahead! Show em what your made of!" Soarin exclaimed. Dash smiled uncontrolably. She shouted, "Aaww, yeah!!" and took off, doing loops and spins and cork-screws. She raced upward to grab a few storm clouds to make an enormous Buckaneer Blaze. The crowd went crazy once more; all but that cranky pink pegasis.
Although she was unable to do her Super-Speed Strut, considering they were 250 feet off the ground, she was, however, still able to do a Sonic Rainboom... She shot straight up into the clear blue and when she could just barely see the Cloudasium, she dove down. Hitting remarkablely insane speeds of 2 to 3 thousand miles per hour, the force came early. Lightning buzzed all around her. She might have been able to make the Sonic Rainboom just above or below the Cloudasium. She soon found it was just above, leaving every-pony to jump out of their feathers at the sonic-sound. Wild cheering rose from the audience. Soarin smiled wildly at his mare-friend's astonishing feat. "YEAH RAINBOW DASH!! WOOOO!" Soarin said. The pink pegasis rolled her eyes in discust. Why she hated Dash is still a mystery today.
Rainbow Dash flew upward and into the Cloudasium, where she met her stallion-friend, who had his arms out for a hug. Dash blushed and flew in for the sweet embrace. The whole Cloudasium "dawww'd", but the pink pegasis had had enough of what she was seeing and left. The two didn't care. It would be all over pony news papers, but they still didn't care.
• • •
After the long day at the Cloudasium, Soarin invited Dash to dinner. She smiled and accepted his invitation. "Meet me at Berrybottom Diner at, say, 6:30?" he asked. "That'll work!" Rainbow said. Soon, they departed at Rainbow's doorstep. Rainbow Dash sat on her soft cloud-couch and turned on her TV. She watched an action movie on Hoofflix. Slowly but steadily, Tank, her pet Turtle, walked over and took the remote from her. "Hey!" Dash said. She watched him flip through channels and stop on the news. "What? The news is always so depressing! I can't watch this!" she protested. She was about to change the channel when a headline was said and caused her to stop dead in her horse-shoes.
"Sonic-Bolt or a Wonder-boom? It's hard to tell the endless combinations of the currently two most popular pegasi in Equestria. An anonymous pegasis who was at the scene and witnessed it herself tells all of what she saw." The picture was now a drawn picture of an outline of a female pegasis with a question mark over it.
In the same voice of the pegasis that had been sitting by her, it spoke, "Well, I just had won tickets to the Wonderbolts and went there expecting a show. Oh I saw a show alright. But not the kind I'd wanted to see! Before the mushy incident, she was sitting next to me, acting all mushy and lovey about him. I tried my best to ignore it, but she was going on and on! So when they anounced that they needed a volunteer, she was basically flying out of her chair! Cheating much?!" The pegasis probably was still lying about the incident, but Dash didn't want to hear it and turned off the TV. "C'mon, Tank. Let's help me find out what I should wear on my date." she said. "They want a show, we'll give em a show!"
• • •
At Berrybottom Diner, Rainbow Dash walked in. She was eye-catching for sure. Wearing her Gala dress and accessories, she trotted over to the table that Soarin was sitting at. She took a seat and noticed he was wearing a tuxedo and tie and looked unquestionably handsome.
"Hey Dashie! You look great!" he said. Dash blushed. "Likewise!" she said. "You want to order now?" he asked. And as he asked, a dark hooded figure slowly walked up to them. "...Can I take your order...?" it asked, in a growling voice that was obviously covering up a different voice.
"Uh, sure. Can I have a salad with creamy Italian dressing and a veggie-burger?" Rainbow Dash asked. "And can I have a-" Soarin was cut off when the dark figure flipped out and shouted, "Oh no! The lantern isn't on!" and pulled out a lighter from in it's sleeve to light the lantern. "There we go... Now the, you know, romance, can proceed. So, what did you order, Soarin?" it's growling voice asked from inside the dark cloak. Soarin gave him... or her... a strange look, and said, "Uhh, may I have the tofu salad and a side of hay-fries?" "Sure thing. Now what can I get you to drink?" the dark figure asked.
Before either of the two pegasi could answer, the back of the cloak, where the tail was, started shaking madly. The figure seemed to start panicking. "Uhh," it growled. "you wouldn't mind moving your table and chairs over this way, would you?" it asked. "Uh, sure...?" they said, and moved it toward the hooded figure. Seconds later, a huge piece of hail broke through the ceiling; in the ecxact spot they were sitting before. They looked at the figure in shock, only to realize it wasn't there anymore.
Some-pony burst through the door, and shouted, "HAIL STOOORM!!!" Everypony began to panic and run in circles. Ponies and pegasi and unicorns all burst through the door and ran for their homes. Soarin and Rainbow Dash were the last ones to get out of there. More and more pieces of hail were bursting through the ceiling and were beginning to block the exit. Rainbow Dash tried to find a way out, and was about to be smashed by an enormous piece of hail. Soarin saw this and screamed, "A WONDERBOLT NEVER GIVES UP!!" and grabbed Dash just before she could be crushed, bursting through the only exit left. He flew the two of them back up to Dash's cloud-home and layed her on her couch.
"You okay?" Soarin panted. "Yeah," she said. He took a good look at her and noticed there was not a scratch or a bruise on her. "You saved me...." was all Dash could say. "Thank you." "Hey, it was nothing." he reassured. Dash leaned over and hugged him. When she released, she noticed that she was covered in blood. She gasped and took a good look at Soarin. He had a gash in his side and several cuts around his wings and stomach. "I'm okay.... but your not..."
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.
"Rainbow Dash? You okay?" asked a very familiar voice. Dash slowly got up groggily and rubbed her head. When her blurred vision subsided, she saw it was Soarin. "Wha... What happened? Last thing I remember is the green in... In that white room..." Rainbow said, strangely to her out of breath. "Yeah, me too." the pale Wonderbolt said. "I guess she had to come up with something to get us outta there... wherever we were..."
"Yeah, I guess. I wonder if shortness of breath is a side-effect on the sleeping gas...?" Rainbow Dash gasped. "Or it's just that you are a sleep-flyer and you were trying to a Sonic Rainboom in your own living room and wore yourself out." Soarin laughed. Dash's face was red with embarrassment. "Did I really...?" Soarin nodded. "Jeez." she said finally. "Yeah, you broke through the floor a couple of times, too." Soarin said, trying to contain his laughter. "ANYWAY!" Dash said, trying to change the subject. "Sorry."
"So, where is Pinkie Pie anyway?" Dash asked. "Well, I bet she's at Sugarcube, but I'm not sure. First thing I did when I woke up was wake you. So I wouldn't know," Soarin explained. "That would only make sense." Dash agreed. "The only way to find out is to check." Soarin concluded. So they did.
• • •
"Pinkie Pie? Pinks?" Dash called in Sugarcube Corner. The pink pony zipped down the stairs from the break-room. "Ye-es?" she said cheerfully. "What was that all about in the white room?" Dash damanded. "What white room?" Pinkie asked, clearly confused. "The only white room I remember was in my dream last night. Oh! Funny thing-you guys were in it, too! I locked you guys in a room together with romance movies, and cake and-" she was cut off by Rainbow. "That wasn't a dream." Dash said. "Oh..." Pinkie said, tilting her head. Then she burst into an uncontrollable fit of giggles.. "IHIHIHIH THOUGHT IT WAS A DREHEHEHEHEAM!! HAHAHAHAHA!!" she laughed.
Soarin and Dash exchanged funny looks. Then they started laughing too. It was contagious, but everypony around them was just staring at them. Bon-Bon, Lyra, and Vinyl Scratch were the only ones laughing with them.
The couple shrugged. They didn't need to know why she locked 'em up I that room. They had eachother, wasn't that knowledge enough...? Soarin looked down toward Dash with glittering eyes. He leaned in close, and kissed her gently on the nose. "So... Awesome...! <3" Dash giggled softly.
