Vacation and Love

Chapter 1: Soarin's Vacation

It has been about two months since the big wedding of Princess Cadence and Shinning Armor, and Soarin is just flying around the outskirts of Cloudsdale letting the wind go through his blue mane and tail.  He is also trying to clear his head after an unfortunate incident at training that happened in the morning.

Earlier that morning:

He got to the training area a little late and he met at the entrance by Fleetfoot.

"You are so in trouble now Soar.  Spitfire is going to chew your tail and not in a good way."

"I know I know, I over slept."

"Well you better hurry then."

So he then ran as fast as he could passing by every other Wonderbolt until he sees Spitfire talking to two other fewllow bolts.  He then walks up behind her and says "Sorry I'm late Spitfire, I over slept an-"

"Enough." She says with a stern voice and at this the other two Wondrbolts flew off and left Soarin and Spitfire in silence and after a few minutes she turns and says

"Soar, this is the fourth time this week, what is going on with you recently?"

"Its sort of complicated."

"Why, you never were late and at one point when you me and a few others went off to celebrate a job well done, you barely ate."

He then looks around to make sure that no one is watching and says "Well cap, I don't know what is going on an-"

"Is this about somemare that is on your mind."

Soarin's face then went red and he was surprised and says "Well Maybe but why would that matter?"

"Well it is obvious that you have a crush on this mare if she can do this to you even if you have an army of fan mares behind you so this mare must mean something to you.  So if you want to, I'll give you a two week vacation and you can go see this mare of yours that you have a crush on."

"But Cap, the Wonderbolts and the shows."

"Don't worry, our next show is not in until three weeks so you will have plenty of time to meet her and you could still get some practice in.  And don't make me order you by pulling rank."

"Thanks Spit." he then shakes hooves and as soon he left Spitfire then says "That doesn't go for the rest of you, now lets get ready for our next show."

And now that he has two weeks of vacation he then went off he then all of a sudden thinks about that one mare that he so wants to see again since the wedding two months ago.  So he flies off towards the one place that the mare told him where she lives: Ponyville.

Along the way, he thinks back on that wedding day he met her

Two months ago:

It is the later on the evening some time after the reception starts, Soarin could not get his mind off of the Sonic Rainboom that was done by the young mare that won the Best Young Flyer Compitition.  As soon as he arrived he tries to find her to tell her a job well done until he sees her with the happy couple and five other ponies whom he regonizes as her friends and then he sees the lavender pony nods her head to what appears to be an energetic pink pony whom then smiles and ran off towards a DJ table and she then pulls up DJ-PON3 and yells something and then music starts playing.  She then toss a mike to the same lavender pony whom starts to sing.

He then looks back at the rainbow maned mare he was looking for and sees her dancing and then he got the nerve to walk up to her and says

"Excuse me, miss."

The mare then turns around and she then had a surprise look on her face and says "Oh my gosh!  Soarin!  What brings you here?"

"Well I saw the Rainboom that you done and I want to say that was pretty awesome."

"Thank you, and I hope that impressed you enough and Spitfire."

"Actually, it did."  He then sees her with a big grin and he then says "So I was wondering if you want to dance with me an-" before he could finish she says "Yes I would love to."  and that was when he started to have feelings for her.

As he was flying, he then heads toards home and he lands at his front door and went inside and takes off his uniform and decides to keep the goggles.  He then flew off heading towards the outskirts of Cloudsdale when he almost ran into Fleetfoot and she says

"Hey Soarin, heard what happened, so you have a marefriend."

"She is not my marefriend."

"Not yet anyway.  Hope you have fun."

after he gets annoyed he then says "Don't you have a colt-friend that you should meet?"

"Yes I do, thanks Soar.  See you in two weeks"

"Yea see you later Fleet."

After that encounter, he continues to fly off towards Ponyville and to the mare he so wants to meet again.

About an hour later

After a while, Soarin could see the small town and he decides to land outside and he then walks right into town and he then sees that every pony in town is friendly and happy all the time.  Just when he was about to head towards the market, a pink blur comes up but then what appears to be a pink pony with balloons as her cutie mark stops right in front of him and says while bouncing around him "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie.  Are you new here?  How long are you staying?  Do you like parties?  We should throw a party for you.  So what do you say?"

At first he did not know what to say and then after a while he says "Yea, I like a good party."

"Great, so come on down to Sugar Cube Corner at around eight this afternoon."

She then ran off and Soarin thinks how could she get a party ready in a matter of hours?  He then decides to not think about it and continues to walk along until a letter lands on top of him and when he picks it off a grey pegasus mare with a blonde mane lands in front of him and says "Sorry about that, I'm trying to keep track of all of these letters so that I could deliver them on time."

"That is alright."

"You must be new here, I'm Ditzy, but some ponies call me Derpy which I got use to by the way."

"Well then can you point me to a place called Surger Cube Corner?"

"Why yes, its right over there and the only gingerbread house like building." she points with her hoof towards a building that does look like a gingerbread house.

"Well I goota go, it was nice meeting you."

She then flew off and Soarin then realize that her eyes seem to be off center but did not mind so he now knows where to go for the party.  So he dicides to explore Ponyville until the party starts.
