Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 13- The Secret Admirer!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

“Sploosh!!”

Another time that sound appeared. I opened my eyes to reveal Monoko with his tongue out which was drenched in spit. I wiped off my mouth in disgust and was groaning on top of that.

“Monoko, why did you do this? This is not tolerated.” I replied as I wiped off the spit with a piece of paper and sat in front of the mirror and was combing my hair out. I placed a barrette in there and brushed my teeth nicely and was changing into a nice iris dress with a iris flower on the side. I placed some slippers in my feet and heard the horns blew.

“What's going on out there? I'm gonna check it out!”

I ran out the room and Monoko followed me and gave me my phone and also my fan in case it was hot outside. I tried to fix my hair more but it wasn't working. I ran to the main door and everyone was outside. I saw all my friends in the front.

“What's going on here?” I asked while fixing my dress.

“Nothing yet.” Applejack replied looking up the road and fixing her hat.

There was a carriage strolling down the city and people were rejoicing and shouting all over the place.

“What's all this noise?” I asked while trying to find a place to see what's going on.

“There's this prince who says he's from Spain. His name is-” Sunset rolled her eyes.

“Ramõn~~” Rarity said with an accent and then fainted.

“Ramõn? And what's up with her?” I asked while looking at her on the ground.

“I dunno. Probably she's just havin’ a thing for him.” Applejack rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, he's a real snob.” Pinkie stook out her tongue.

“Yet, he's so handsome~” Rarity gasped as she fainted again but in Applejack's arms.

“He doesn't care for animals and he's very rude to the villagers.” Fluttershy spoke up. I scrunched my nose in anger.

“Oh, we'll see about that.” I huffed. When the carriage came, we saw a boy with black silky hair, brown eyes and a mocha skin complexion. He was very handsome like Rarity said. Flowers were landing on his carriage as he reached the palace door. I stopped him before anything happened.

“Excuse me sir, who are you?” I asked. He gave me a smirk and climbed down his carriage. He had a red silky cape that matched his shoes.

“Senõrita, my name is Ramõn. I am a prince from my home country Spain. Your father, the king, he's expecting a visit from me. Is he busy?”

“No, I'm sure he's just-”

“It's fine really. I'm glad he sent me his beautiful ray of sunshine.” He winked at me. I rolled my eyes and gave him a glare.

“So, chica, I heard there's an ancestral festival. I came here to witness it myself.”

“You came all the way from Spain for an Indian ancestral festival?” I asked while putting my hands on my hips.

“Yes, mí amore. Please take me inside this desert palace and together we'll embark on a new journey called love.” He said as he spun me around and caught me in his arms and placed a rose in his mouth. He wiggled his eyebrows and winked at me.

“I'll be back for you senõrita! But I must meet your father.” He blew me a kiss and went inside the palace. I stood by the gate and all my friends walked towards me.

“Pinkie's right. He is a total snob!” I said as I still gave him a glare as he hugged my father and went into the palace. Some people started leaving and some people stayed. These 3 girls were just being total cheerleaders for him.

“Ooohh did you see Ramõn’s eyes? They are brown like the sweetest chocolate in the world!” One girl sighed.

“I heard he's staying at the castle until the ancestral festival! The princess is so lucky!” Another girl sighed.

“Ramõn is so handsome! The way he flexes his muscles is a dream!”

I rolled my eyes and walked to the coves on the other side of the field.

“Ugh, what drama queens!”

Transition to next scene.....

“And then he just swooped me in his arms and obviously tried to flirt with me.” I told the story to Blaze, Radiance, and Soarin all on the same table drinking some lemonade.

“Well, to me, I think he has a little thing for the princess.” Radiance smiled.

“And by little I'm assuming you mean totally flirting with me in front of the city.” I huffed.

“Well, I think he's trying to persuade your dad into staying longer. Besides, it's weird how he came in here just coming in like it's nobody's business and claiming to stay for the ancestral festival. I dunno Dash, something fishy is up with him and I'm saying you should stay away from him. He seems fishy.” Blaze replied while almost finished drinking his cup.

“Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him. Soarin, you okay over there?”

“Huh? Oh um yeah, I guess.” He softly replied while taking his straw and stirring it a few times in the cup.

“You barely even touched your lemonade.” I sighed. He shrugged his shoulders and turned the other way.

“Ramõn seems like a bad influence for India. I'm with Blaze, stay away from him. I hate to see anything happen to you.” Soarin caressed my cheek and smiled. I blushed and took another sip.

“Awww thanks Soarin. And I'm going to keep a look out for him. Even though he seems fishy, he is sort of cute.” I blushed and looked away. Radiance started cooing and Blaze laughed. Soarin sat there and looked away in his seat.

“Hehe wow, well on a scale of 1 through 10 how cute is he to you?” Radiance asked.

“About an 8.5.” I blushed slightly.

“I mean he's cute and all but Soarin's a total hottie!! Woah! Did I just think of that??!!?”

Radiance started making goo-goo sounds along with Blaze. I laughed at both of them and we were all doubling with laughter. Soarin placed his cup on the table and got up from the seat in anger.

“What? Soarin? Where you going?” I called out to him. He turned around and was very angry.

“Why don't you talk about Ramõn? Since you think he's cute!” He stormed away and walked back to his cove. We all sat there speechless.

“Was it something I said?” I asked.

“Ooohhhhh!!!!!! I get it! I'll go fix this while you two go and hang out with one another. I'll see what I can fix.” Blaze walked away and tried to find Soarin.

Soarin's P.O.V

“Oh Ramõn this! And Ramõn that! Ugh please! Why don't you just marry him already?!” I yelled under my breath and walked away hard. I heard panting and Blaze came.

“Hey bro. What's the matter? You kind of left the table in anger. What's bugging you?” He asked as he tried to put a smile on his face. I sighed and we both sat on the ground.

“Did Rainbow sent you to find me?”

“Dude, if she did, she would've came herself.”

“True…”

“Now, tell me what's the problem?”

“It's her okay?!”

“What do you mean?”

“She's always talking about that Ramõn dude! And when she said he flirted with her that pissed me off and then she said he was handsome and she'll give him a 8.5 out of 10. Ugh that just-”

“Woah woah dude! Do you have a crush on her?!?!”

“W-W-What?!?! No no, I'm just expressing my-”

“Cause for a minute there you sound like you're jealous which you are.”

“I'm not jealous!!! I'm just helping her okay? What if he hurts her?!”

“I'm sure that's not gonna happen. Besides, Dash can fight her own battles. She's one tough cookie.”

“Yeah yeah, I know. Maybe I am a bit jealous on top of that…”

“I knew it!”

“But don't tell her any of this!!”

“Promise dude. So you do like her?”

My cheeks flared up as the same time when I first saw her.

“Maybe a l-little b-bit..” I blushed deeper.

“Awwww dude!!!” He cried as he hugged me.

“Bro get off! We can't be doing this in public.” I yelled while people were staring at us.

“Yeah you're right. Anyway, I better go back into working at the protectors cove! I'll catch ya later bro!” Blaze walked away to his cove while I was walking around trying to see if I can get mind off of the Ramõn situation. I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into someone.

“Oh so sorry! I didn't mean to- Dashie?!”

“Uh, bumped into, haha always doing.” She blushed as she cleared her throat. “W-What I meant to say was, hi again.”

“I thought you went back to the palace.”

“I was going too. But, I couldn't help but talk to you again.” She smiled at me and made my cheeks turn a light shade of pink. “Well, are you okay now?”

“Huh?”

“You got angry when you left the table. Is there something wrong?”

“No of course not. Why would there be?”

“Soarin?”

“Yes?”

“If you hate Ramõn that's totally fine cause I despise him!” She laughed.

“Y-You do?”

“Well duh! He's so annoying, so rude, and so flirtatious.”

“But before you were saying how cute he is…”

“Well, I'm not going to lie, he is cute. But I know someone WAY cuter.” She smiled and blushed.

“Oh, who is it?”

“Hahaha, that's none of your business!” She laughed as she nudged me.

“Well, I better go finish the chores at the mango cove. It's my day to do them. I'll see ya later Dashie.”

“Yup, see ya!”

Transition to next scene....

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

“I still feel that Soarin's not telling me something. He got so angry when I was talking about how cute Ramõn is. I'm not going to lie but he is cute.”

“Hmmmm, anything else to tell me? I'll see if I can help.”

“No it's okay Sunset. It's fine. I just hope that nothing bad happens. Also, Blaze is right. Something fishy is going on with Ramõn and I'm going to get to the bottom of it.”

“Yeah he seems too close to you for some reason. And also with your father. Watch out for that too.”

“I know I know! I'm being more cautious than anyone else. But why me though? I know I'm good looking but not that good. Besides, what's more strange is that I never heard of a prince in Spain. Also, where's the king? He can't just come here uninvited.”

“Well, all we can do is keep an eye out on him. Even the simplest clue can give us the biggest hints. I just have one thought though.”

“Yes?”

“Do you think it's some sort of Equestrian magic?”

“No, I'm not sure. I hope we get answers sooner than we think.”

“Yeah, also, let's not jump to conclusions, okay Dash? What if being a snob is what he's born into?”

“Yeah, perhaps you're right.”

“Don't let little things get to you so fast. You just met him. Give him a chance.”

“A chance for what?”

“I dunno. But give him a chance. I gotta run and see what Twilight wants. She just sent me a text. Bye!” Sunset ran out the door and I slumped back into my bed and stared at the ceiling. For the next few minutes, I did nothing. Not until a knock came on my door.

“Come in!” I hollered. The door slightly opened and my aunt's face was there.

“Hey honey. How ya feeling?”

“Terrible..ugh, why is he here?”

“Who?”

“Ramõn!!!” I grumbled and stuffed a pillow to my face.

“Well, he's here because he was invited to the ancestral festival by your father also your father really likes him. Maybe he can be your future king.”

“Absolutely not!!!! He's too rude and snobby for me. I want a prince who's caring, sweet, kind, and adores me as much as I adore him or maybe even more.”

“Okay okay. I get it. But he is the guest of honor. And as an Indian tradition, the princess must do a dance ritual for him.”

“W-W-Wait, what?! Huh?!?!”

“That's right. You have to belly dance for Ramõn.”

My mind went completely blank as I was about to fall but instead of falling, I gave a big loud yelp across the palace as loud as I can.

“No no no no no!!!! This is impossible!!!! There's got to be some kind of mistake!!!!” I wailed as I clutched onto my aunt's leg. She grunted while looking through my closet full of belly dancing attire.

“Hmm, since he's from Spain I think it's only fitting for you to wear red.” She said as she was searching for an outfit while I continued to cry helplessly.

“But I don't wanna dance for him!!!” I balled and grew a tantrum.

“Rainbow Miriam Dash! Get yourself off from my leg this instant or so help me that dance is not the only thing you'll do for him.” She commanded at once. I got up quickly while saluting to her. She handed me a red shimmery belly dancing outfit with an attachable of a red skirt.

“Now go and please him.” She walked out the room. I gave a huge sigh and I changed into the clothes quickly. I tried hard not to let anyone see me walk to the performance room (where I would be showing the dance to Ramõn) but of course, there's always one person.

“Howdy RD! Uhhh, whatcha wearin’?”

“Please don't ask Applejack. Do I look terrible?”

“No. Ya just tremblin’ too much. Stop shakin’ so much!” She shouted as she held me tightly in her arms. “Now, yer good to go. Also, who ya dancin’ for?”

“Guess?”

“I'm guessin’ it's Ramõn.” She smirked. I rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth.

“Stupid traditions.” I mumbled under my breath as I was walking to the room.

“Good luck!!” Applejack hollered.

“Thanks, I'll need it.”

Once I reached the room door, I hesitated to open it as I took a deep breath and ran to the stage behind the curtain.

“Okay okay Dashie. No panicking! It's just a symbolization for your ancestors. You got this!!”

“Good afternoon Prince Ramõn. Are you ready to witness a dance by the princess herself?” My aunt told him.

“Yes, I am ready for whatever that blooming flower has in store for me.”

I took a deep breath and when I music started, I walked out the curtains and started shaking my hips. I didn't know what the song was or what to do but I just did anything random thing that seemed to do with belly dancing. The music was Spanish music which of course had to be because Ramõn is from Spain. Twirling and shaking my hips rapidly too the beat as the little jingling bells from the sides of the red skirt. Once the song ended, I bowed in respect and Ramõn gave me a standing ovation. He clapped his hands and smiled. My aunt clapped too and was saying “Bravo!” like 5 million times!!!

“Now that was true talent. Princess Dash, you are truly a shining star.” Ramõn bowed before me and kissed my hand. I gave a sheepish smile and coughed a bit.

“Haha thanks Ramõn. It was my, um, pleasure to accompany you this evening.”

“And the outfit really spoke to me~” He growled as he held onto one of the straps on the outfit and pulled me inches away from him making me blush deeply.

“Ramõn!!” I pulled away. He gave a laugh.

“Oh please Princess. This is just the beginning of our love cycle.” He purred on my neck making me blush and shiver a bit.

“Oh? Did I scare you~?”

“Ugh, bye Ramõn.” I walked away from him as fast as possible and went into my room and changed quickly as possible too. I changed back into the same clothes as this morning and ran to the dancing cove and their I meet Radiance packing up her supplies.

“Oh hey Dash. What brings you here?”

“I have a problem! You know that prince that just came here a few hours ago?”

“Yes, Prince Ramõn from Spain. He's very-”

“Annoying, arrogant, and a total flirt.”

“Um, no. I was going to say charming, funny, and a bit of a chatter box. Why? What's wrong?”

“I had to do a belly dance ritual for him. And now he's been more flirtatious ever since.”

“Oh gosh, I'm sorry. Who told you too?”

“My aunt but I'm assuming my dad with the idea. Why?”

“Cause if a princess belly dances for a prince, she means that she's showing her love and affection towards him. And they start falling in love and-”

“Wait wait wait!! Love and affection?!?!?!”

“Yes, maybe it was a tradition. But if your dad told you to dance, he's probably ready to get you two together for a ceremony.” She winked.

“Hell no! I do not want to get married too him. Besides, I'm not ready for marriage anyway!”

“Yes but-”

“I know, the king gets to decided if the prince can marry the princess. I just hope he says no.”

“Well, I'm not sure that's gonna happen. It's a theory that he might've told you to do it for him for that reason or maybe because he's the guest of honor.”

“Yeah, I'm really nervous now.”

“Hahaha, don't be. I better get home. G'night.”

“Night.”

At the palace…

“Daddy?”

“Yes Rainbow Dash?”

“Can I talk to you for a second?”

“The ancestral festival is coming in a few more weeks. And things aren't looking so good with each cove. I was thinking if me and my friends can help each cove.”

“Go on.”

“Each one of us chooses a cove that has our greatest strengths in it! I'm sure we'll pull it off by the end of the 3rd week.”

“Are you sure you want to risk taking this offer?”

“Yes father. Anything to make India great again!”

“That's great! Well, you better begin first thing Monday morning cause tomorrow is the day of the new law. We'll have to push your celebrational party further on. You're okay with that aren't you?”

“Mhm! I better get some sleep. And we won't let you down!!”

“I know you guys won't. Yes, go and sleep.”

“Oh and dad?”

“Yes, do you Ramõn as future king of India?”

“I'm not sure. I'm still getting used to him. He seems okay. Why'd you ask?”

“No reason. Just wondering why you wanted me to dance for him.”

“Oh because I wanted you to make sure he feels welcome.”

“Okay, thanks dad! Whew!”

“Things are looking great!!! No Ramõn, and no more Ramõn handiwork!!”

The next morning....

“Wheeeeee, tehehehahaha!!!” Pinkie yelled throughout the hall. She was following Monoko all over the palace. I had to follow her because I had to give him a bath and he started running like crazy.

“Fluttershy!!!! Go left and we'll capture him there!!!” I pointed to the bathroom. She gave me a thumbs up and finally was about to grab him but he swerved the other way.

“Oh boy. Dash, we lost him.”

“Great! Just great!”

“Look he's right there!!!” Pinkie exclaimed as she ran after him. I went around the other side and Pinkie was on the other end. I finally caught him and held him extremely tight.

“That's it! You're getting your bath now!!!” I grunted. He was squirming a lot and he was barking. I finally dropped him in the tub and me and Fluttershy finally started scrubbing him with soap.

“Don't worry Monoko. This is going to help you.” Fluttershy smiled as she poured some more soap over him and then I got the shower hose.

“Don't move!” I told him. At least he listened. I sprayed him with water and he was soaking wet. Once we were done, he plied out the tub and started shaking out the water and sprayed a little on me and Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled and walked to the door.

“I better go and change before your father gives out his new law!” She smiled as she walked out the door. I grabbed a towel and dried off Monoko quickly.

“Let's go Monoko. I better hurry up before my dad gives the law and I miss it!” I replied as I scooped him up in the towel and ran to my room and changed into a blue shirt and a skirt and was grooming up Monoko. The horns blew loudly and I knew that I was late.

“Presenting Maharajah Rohan!” One of the announcers said. I ran out my room and went back to my room and combed my hair quickly and gave Monoko a kiss and then officially ran out my room and walked to the balcony were my seat was waiting for me. I gave a nervous chuckle as my aunt, my dad, and my friends all looked at me. I say next to Sunset and took a deep breath.

“Dash, where are your shoes?” She pointed out making me blush from embarrassment.

“Look, I gave Monoko a bath and I was late anyway.”

“Um okay then.”

“Did he say anything yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? Today we are here to witness the coming of a new law and rearranging an old one. Recently, there has been some issues and complaints about the work load on the mango cove. And me and the Royal Court came to an agreement. By hearing my daughter's persuasion about the work load we have none other decision to end the law and reinforce a new one. And that law will be “Overload workings and overtime hours will not be extended on every member unless it's an act of discipline!”’

Everyone cheered happily and of course Pinkie fired up her party cannon and we were all hugging one another. I hugged my father tightly and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

“Thank you Daddy.” I cried on his shoulder. He patted my back and laughed.

“If it wasn't for you, none of this would've happened ya know?”

“Yeah, hehe I guess.” I smiled. I looked down over the balcony and saw Soarin smiling at me and gave me a thumbs up. I ran down the stairs and ran towards him. As we met, I jumped on top of him and gave him the biggest hug.

“Dashie I'm so happy!!”

“I know you are! I'm going to cry! I told you he was going to end it! Now you're free at night!”

“You know that's an amazing thing you know why?”

“No, why?”

“I get to see you.” He blushed and brushed his hair to the side. I blushed deeply and took a strand of my hair and covered my cheeks.

“I'm glad we get to spend some more time together.” I giggled.

“Yeah, that'll be tons of fun.”

The new good news was that for the rest of the time we had, me and Soarin hung out and we got closer than ever before. I hope he didn't notice how much times I blushed over and over again like a goofy dork. That night, everyone was cleaning up the balcony and bringing back chairs and me and Soarin were still talking and laughing. My father looked at us and was about to call out but my grandmother stopped him.

“Leave them be. Let's go. She'll come out when she's ready.” She smiled at him and walked with her cane. “I'll watch them.”

My father nodded his head and went his way. I didn't even notice my grandmother was there watching us. When it was getting dark, Soarin took my hand and held it.

“So, I'll see you Monday?”

“Of course! I can't wait.” I blushed. We both stared into each other's eyes and and blushed deeply.

“I-I better go.” I finally spoke up after the awkward silence.

“Y-Yeah, I'll talk with you. G'night Princess Dash.” He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and giggled.

“Night Soarin.” I smiled and walked away. I walked up the stairs still blushing like crazy until I heard my grandmother's voice.

“You keep blushing in front of him every time. He's bound to notice when your cheeks get red!!” She said as I walked down the hall. I jumped up and blushed deeper than before.

“Oh, uh, grandma, you saw that huh?” I asked fiddling with my fingers. She nodded her head and was walking down the hall with me and was using her cane.

“Daadee, do you want me to help you? I can help you.” I replied helping her walk.

“Dash sweetheart, I'm fine okay? Why don't you go to sleep?”

“I will not after you go into your room safe and sound.”

“Okay, I'll only let you do this once and only once.”

She stopped by her room door and I opened it for her. She held my face and smiled.

“You are becoming like your mother everyday. She must be so proud. Well good night my love. We'll talk about that boy you were talking to later.” She smirked.

“Y-Yeah, um, hehe okay.” I blushed and closed her door. I sighed and walked into my room and had a great night sleep.
