Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 16- An Unpromising Proposal!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

“Oh thank goodness you're alright!!!” My aunt ran towards me and hugged me tightly.

“Yeah auntie. I'm fine. Soarin saved me.” I smiled at him and he blushed. My aunt took my right hand and gave a gasp.

“Ah! Were you fighting?! Mija, you know you can't be fighting! What will your father say about this? Soarin can you get me some bandages quickly? Gosh, you're bleeding a lot. Come here and rest.”

She rested me on the ground and placed a mat on the floor to make me sit on it. I gave a sigh of relief as my butt hit the mat. I stretched my feet out and gave a flinch as the pain in my arm grew. Soarin came quickly with a first aid kit in his hands. He rolled up his sleeves and started opening the kit. I just looked at him, not saying a word, but was staring down on him. He grabbed a towel and dipped it in a bowl of alcohol to clean the blood.

“This may hurt so you can grab onto my shirt okay?”

I nodded my head and when the pain hit my arm. I clutched onto his shirt as strong as I could. I was grunting a bit so I wouldn't scream. After that painful fiasco happened, Soarin bandaged up my arm. I stared at him and was blushing the whole time.

He then kissed it to make it better. I giggled and smiled brightly. He brushed his hair out of his eyes and blushed.

“There you go. All better. You should be better by tomorrow!”

“Thanks Soarin. I owe you a lot.”

“You don't have too. I'm sure everything will be okay. Just relax it! Don't do anything big. I gotta go! See you tomorrow.”

“Hehehe bye.”

Soarin grabbed the kit and placed it on the table and smiled at me. He gave my aunt a goodbye and head on his way. I bit my lip in a sight of love and was trying to get up from the floor to go to my room. After I got the courage to do so, I opened the door and Monoko came and jumped on me. I hugged him with my left arm and snuggled him deeply.

“Hi Monokokins!!! Who's a good boy?! Who is he?!” I replied while scrunching up my nose while he kept barking. He ran away and placed a red rubber ball in my hand. “Oh, you want to get the ball, huh sweetie?! Well, go get it!”

I threw the ball across the room and he ran after it. I climbed onto my bed and watched him get super happy once I threw the ball. His adorable little tail wagged in sync as he pounced onto the bed and wagged his tail again. He dropped the ball and giggled a bit.

“You're full of energy you know that? A cute, adorable, golden ball of energy. Hehehe, my golden ball of energy.” I giggled and hugged him. He licked my neck and snuggled against my pillow. I kissed him goodnight and then snuggled a bit.

Soarin's P.O.V

Sun arose and I was drooling all over my pillow. I had a dream when Dashie had to leave India. I always dream that every night for some reason. Maybe I don't want her to really leave for good.

“Bye Dashie….Bye Dashie….bye..huh? Ahaha, I've got to stop talking in my sleep.”

I yawned loudly and my hair was a bit messy and I happen to open my eyes and see Halo right in my face.

“So who's Dashie?”

“WAAAAAHHHH!!!”

I fell off my bed and she laughed loudly. I gave her a glare and fixed my clothes.

“Halo, what are you doing here?”

“You left your door open, duhhh!! Also, do you know you talk in your sleep?”

“Yes Halo. I know.” I grumbled as I took off my shirt and put on a new one.

“You were like “Dashie! Dashie!” So, who's Dashie?”

“Oh, uh, she's a friend of mine.”

“Huh, that's very weird calling your child Dashie. Or, is that a nickname you called her?”

“A nickname. And Halo, come on! A little respect here?! I'm trying to get dressed.”

“Oops! Sorry! But seriously, who's Dashie? Is she- ooohhhhh!!! Is that the princess~”

“Ugh Halo-”

“Why are you dreaming about her? Oohhh, hehehe, you like her!”

“No, stop it! Now, I gotta go. See ya soon. Love you!” I replied while kissing her cheek. She giggled and hugged me as I walked out the door. I walked to the palace and on the way there, I took a pen and wrote some words down on my left hand. When I reached the door of the palace, I threw the pen away and rang the doorbell.

“I hope Dashie is awake.”

The door opened to reveal her father. He was very tall from the last time we met and he gave me a deep glare. I gave a huge gulp and began to speak.

“Uh, good morning your highness. Um, is Dashie, urr, I mean Rainbow Dash home?” I smiled sheepishly because her father looked very creepy. Once I spoke, he growled and gave a deeper glare.

“Uh, I think you remember me but haven't got my name. My name is-”

That's when he slammed the door in my face leaving me speechless. I gave a sigh and turned around to walk away and then I heard a beautiful voice behind the door.

“Daddy!” The voice said as the door opened to reveal a cheerful, adorable Rainbow Dash. Her hair was curly and a bit wild but I assumed she woke up a few minutes ago. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. I turned around and smiled and blushed too. Her father behind her giving me another glare and Rainbow Dash turned to face him.

“Don't worry daddy! Soarin is my best friend. He won't bite. I'll be back inside in a few!” She replied as her father cleared his throat and nodded his head. She turned around and smiled sheepishly and giggled.

“Hehehe, hi Soarin.”

“Hey Dashie.”

“So, uh, w-would you like to have a seat?!” She asked while she was twirling her hair and blushing a bit while I gave a little chuckle.

“Yeah sure why not?” I replied while she leaned on the railing and I lifted her up on the rail and she smiled while she shook her head and laughed.

“Daddy!”

I jumped back and shuffled my hands as I was smiling. He was looking through the window and gave another glare. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and motioned her hands to make her dad move away. He did as he told her to do and left.

“Sorry about my dad. He lost his voice this morning and so he can't speak and he's also very overprotective of me when I'm with boys. Hehe.”

“It's fine. It's just that your dad gives me the creeps.”

“Hahahaha, awww I'm sure he'll like you once he gets to know you. He's very sweet once you get to know him. He has his flaws but that's what makes him special.”

“Yeah, well, does he love you?”

“Soarin, why wouldn't he?”

“I mean, he yelled at you and dropped you on the ground the other day, isn't that I dunno rude?”

“It maybe a bit rude but those are his flaws. He gets angry too quickly.”

It got silent and we both sighed. I flicked my bang a bit and realized my hair looked like a lion's mane. All poofy and soft and flouncy.

“Wait a minute, my hair was like this the whole time and you didn't say anything?!” She laughed and punched my shoulder. I gave a chuckle and brushed her bang out her eyes and saw her adorable magenta eyes. She blushed and looked away and I touched her face cheek.

“Dashie?”

“Yes Soarin?” She replied softly.

“I was going to ask you m-maybe if I uhhhh-”

I looked at my left hand and tried to read off my hand but Rainbow Dash was cautious.

“If I can be your um-”

“Soarin?”

“S-Sorry, the ancestral festival is next week Friday, so I was wondering if you have anyone you're going with.”

“No, I'm not going with anyone. Why?”

“I was asking if I can be your plus one..”

She froze in place and blushed deeply and giggled hard.

“Y-You wanna be my plus one?”

“Yeah, I was thinking we can go together, i-if you want too…”

“Oh Soarin, I-I would love too!” She blushed deeply.

“Really?! I'm so happy! I can't wait! For next week Friday that is!”

“Me too.”

We held hands and I took her cheek and we were face to face and we were blushing hard and then the door opened and revealed Twilight.

“Hey Rainbow! We have to go and hike in the Iris Caverns! And-oh sorry! Was I interrupting anything?”

“N-N-No! I was just leaving actually.” I blushed and placed my hands in my pocket.

“Oops sorry! So sorry! Oh good morning Soarin!” Twilight waved. I waved back and Rainbow Dash was still staring at me, making me blush even more. Her cheeks were a deep shade of red as she giggled a bit.

“Come on Rainbow Dash! Those Irises aren't going to pick themselves.” Twilight laughed as she tugged onto Rainbow Dash's arm. Rainbow snapped back into reality and gave me a wave goodbye.

“I'll see you, haha, next week!” I replied to her while winking at her and giving her a sly smirk.

“O-O-Oh okay!” She giggled nervously a bit and accidentally bumped into her door and her bang covered her face as she brushed it aside. She giggled even more and waved goodbye again. The door closed and I gave a huge scream.

“YES!!!! SHE SAID YES!!!! WOO HOO!!!!” I shouted as I walked out the palace area and I took one of the guard’s hand and began to dance the mambo.

“HAHAHA EVERYBODY MAMBO!!!!! MAMBO MAMBO MAMBO!!!”

Somehow, I was in the middle of the field and I was dancing around a bunch of people. Some people were laughing and some were just in awe at how I was dancing. I cleared my throat and blushed.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

“Ugh, are we there yet?!”

“No.”

“Are we now?”

“No!”

“Ugh, can we at least take a break from walking?”

“Rainbow Dash! Stop complaining!!”

“I never wanted to go on this stupid adventure anyway. Right Monoko?”

He barked in sequence and then started sniffing the air. We were high on a mountain looking for irises which Twilight always wanted to see for herself. I rolled my eyes while taking a banana from my bag and began to snack on it.

“Dash, a little help here?”

“What seems to be the problem Twilight?”

“Well, I can't understand anything that's on the map!”

“Is it upside down?”

“No. But look, everything's in Hindi! Ugh, so much for growing up in a place where you only know English.”

“Oh, lemme translate. Ahem! We are near the ‘Ice Cave!’ It's pretty dark and cold there.”

“Perfect! We have to go into the cave and then we'll be in the Iris Caverns in no time!”

We passed through a dark alley and then Twilight turned on her flashlight. It was dark and very spooky. I carried Monoko in my arms just to make sure he's okay. He kept sniffing the air and when we got into the cavern, he started barking like crazy. One of the signs says ‘Avalanche Zone!’ and I assumed we were right near one.

“Monoko, keep it down! We're in an avalanche zone. Whatever it is, it can wait till later.” I whispered softly as some of the icicles that were hanging above me started shaking. I ducked for cover before anything else happened.

“Oooh yes! A iris!! I can't believe I found one!!! And the only one too!!” Twilight shouted in happiness and caused more icicles to drop.

“Twilight, hush. Your voice is gonna cause an avalanche!”

“So, you're saying I can't be happy?!?”

More icicles had fallen and the ground began to shake. Monoko was barking non stop now and Twilight’s nagging was constantly annoying me. That's when I grew angry and yelled to the top of my lungs.

“WILL BOTH OF YOU BE QUIET?!?!?!”

“Quiet....quiet....quiet....”

My voice echoed and I knew for sure, the avalanche would start soon. Twilight took a quick snap on her phone of the iris and then gave me a glare.

“Now, look who started the avalanche?” She replied sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and most of the ice and rocks were falling down. I grabbed Monoko and Twilight and I made a run for it. I forgot all about Monoko for a second and then when I turned around, he was calling out to me while his leg was stuck in one of the rocks. I gave a shriek and grabbed Monoko and Twilight almost got herself caught in the avalanche as she tripped and almost fell over the edge of the cliff. I found an exit and we both made it out alive before we could've died. We got shelter by a rock on the side and watched the avalanche of little pieces of ice but mostly rocks hit the floor. We both were breathing heavily and we both got up. I gave her a smirk and she gave me a smile.

“Thanks for saving my life back there.”

“Eh, don't sweat it!”

I heard a yelping sound and I turned around and saw Monoko limping while trying to walk. I carried him in my arms as tears came into my eyes.

“We have to save him immediately!!”

Transition to next scene....

“Oh Fluttershy!! Is he going to be okay?!” I cried while having tears in my eyes.

“Yes, I wrapped up his leg. He shouldn't be walking at all until the 3rd week.”

I gave a sigh and looked back at Monoko snuggled softly on my bed. I hugged Fluttershy and smiled.

“Thanks Flutters. I owe ya.”

“No need.”

She closed the door and once she did I plopped on my bed and clutched onto Monoko. I gave him a quick peck on his fur.

“Don't worry Monoko. Mommy's got you. I'm right here for you.” I said softly.

15 minutes later....

“Awww poor little guy.”

“I know. If I hadn't open my big mouth!”

“Dash, it's not your fault-”

“Yes it is!!” I cried and clutched onto a pillow. Soarin patted my back and petted Monoko.

“Look, I know what'll make you happy.” He smiled as he went in his bag and took out a small teddy bear. It was brown and was a bit torn up and has scratches and the bear had a bow tie. I took it slowly and screamed to the top of the room.

“BINKI!!!!!!! AAAAA WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM?!?!?!”

“I found it by the airport the day you left. You probably dropped him.

“Awww thank you! I might give it to your sister. He was full of luck when I was smaller.”

“Huh interesting. So, ready for your party tomorrow?”

“Yeah I guess so.”

“You guess?”

“Yeah, I'm not really ready. Besides Ramõn is being a real jerk about it.”

“Ugh, he is a jerk.”

“I know but hey guess what?”

“What? I'm still going to be your plus one at the ancestral festival next week anyway.”

“Yup, that's right! Well, I better get home. Enjoy your party.”

“I hope I do....”

The next day....

“Dress check! Accessories check! Nails check! Hair check! Ugh! What am I missing from you!?” Rarity hollered throughout the room while the clock almost rang 7pm. Rarity was already dressed in a cobalt blue Indian styled dressed and wore earrings to match. On the other hand, she had trouble with me.

“Rainbow Dash! Don't fiddle with your hair! It took hours to fix.”

“It's still the same style Rarity.”

“Well yes, it make look like it but I deep conditioned it. Put some texturizer to make your hair soft and gorgeous so it's not the same style.”

A knock came on the door and Sunset pecked in.

“How's Rainbow Dash coming along Rares?”

“Horrible! Absolutely horrible!!!”

“Hey! SO not true!!” I huffed sitting in the seat and fixing a bit of my hair before Rarity saw me.

“Well what's wrong? She seems perfectly fine to me.” Sunset shrugged.

“Ah! To you she does!! But too me, I still feel like she's missing something.”

“Ugh, what are you missing!? You did my hair, makeup, clothes, nails, everything and there's something missing?! What could that be?!” I yelled in anger. Fluttershy, who was in the midst of the conversation, spoke up clearly.

“I'm sorry for interrupting but um Rarity you're forgetting her flower crown. Her father wants her to wear it.”

“Oh but of course! The flower crown! Oh, how could I forget? Thank you deary!” Rarity smiled while placing the crown on my head and clapped her hands.

“Alrighty! Now we have a finished princess! Now let's go!”

I walked downstairs and saw everyone in the ballroom. While I was walking down, Ramõn took a glass and tapped it lightly with a spoon. Soon everyone was quiet.

“Hello everyone please put your hands together for the woman who made this all possible! Princess Rainbow Dash!”

People clapped for me and bowed aswell and Ramõn took my hand.

“Ah senorita! You look lovely this evening!”

“Thanks Ramõn but I-”

“Ah ah! Not another word. I'm sure you're famished. Here have a cheese bun.”

“But I don't want- oof!”

He shoved a bun in my mouth as I tried to devour the sugary, delectable snack. I licked my lips and gave a satisfying “Mmmm.”

“You like it, yes?”

“Very much so. What was in it?”

“Well, of course cheese. Some frosting layered at the top and cinnamon.”

“Mmm, sounds delectable as much as it tastes.”

“Hahaha why yes. Come along now! I'm sure you want a refreshment. Then after we can dance and maybe have a little talk about what I have-”

“Ramõn? Tonight I just want to hangout with my friends if that's so much to ask..”

“Oh not at all chica! I'll be around. See you later!”

He walked off and went to the dance floor. I stood by the punch table and gave a sigh. I grabbed a cup of fruit punch and took a sip when I heard a chirpy voice.

“Enjoying the party?”

“Oh, uh hey Pinkie. Yeah, totally, uh loving it.”

“Yeahhhhh you're not. You're not yourself. What's wrong!?” She asked as she took a cup and poured some juice in there and started drinking.

“Nothing it's just that, ugh, Ramõn! I just want him-”

“Dead?”

“Hahaha no not dead Pinkie, but gone from my misery. I don't know why he's here in the first place. Honestly, I looked up princes in Spain and there were no results. Something tells me Ramõn isn't a so called prince as he says he is.”

“Welp, all we can do now is wait and see.”

“Yeah....”

“Hehehe, I'm sure if Soarin was here you wouldn't be so sad now would you?” She smirked as she was drinking her cup. I was drinking a bit and blushed a bit too.

“W-Well, maybe you're right.”

The party lasted 2 hours and it was coming to an end. I was a bit pooped out from all the dancing I had with my friends. We even played Spin the Bottle and that didn't go so well( It wasn't a kissing thing. This time if the bottle stopped on you, you had to say a super embarrassing secret you never told anyone)! Well, we thought the party was over, welp I wasn't expecting this surprise at all....

“Can I have your attention please? Attention!?!?”

We all turned around and saw Ramõn holding a small box in his hand. I thought he wasn't serious. He called me up to the middle of the ball room and then he kneeled down before me holding my right hand. I stood in complete shock.

“Rainbow Dash, even if we known each other for only a week and 3 days I still believe we've known each other for a very long time. And I wanted to bestow this before you.”

He opened the box and it revealed a beautiful diamond ring and it was just gorgeous! Everyone gasped including my aunt and grandmother. All my friends’ mouths were wide opened. I was in pure shock.

“Rainbow Miriam Dash? Would you marry me?”

To be continued....
