The Dashelorette

"Discord here and welcome back to the Dashelorette where Rainbow Dash will find her true love. The last time we pick off is where Rainbow Dash spoken her last words. Well that is all folks. Seems we meet the end of the story."

Pinkie Pie pop out, out of nowhere.

"Hey Rainbow Dash is not even close near the end of the story. There is more to see. I .. I mean read. Hello dear readers. Sorry Discord is not reading his own lines."

In the background another pony yells Pinkie's name.

"PINKIE WHERE ARE YOU?! COME BACK HERE WE STILL NEED TO MEET THE COMPETITORS!!"

Pinkie jumps. "Whoops I better be back. COMING TWILIGHT!! Oh and Discord ... Don't Flutter it up."

With a Glare Pinkie left the scene. Discord went back to talking.

"Anyway Pinkie Pie is right about one thing. Let's go meet the competitors my dear readers. Hold your tail and let the drama begin!

Poof

***

Rainbow Dash heartbeat beats louder and louder than ever. Twilight has to keep keep Dash in control.

"Rainbow Dash it's alright. I know your nervous about this deal we made, but you don't have to go crazy nervous too much."

It's not about who are the competitors and who might steal her very own heart. It's the pressure she is decided. Whether this mare is going to stay or get a broken heart with no reason of falling in love with her. Even though Rainbow Dash never had falling in love but that is no excuse for her.

Rainbow Dash sigh one more time. "Okay, let's go meet my ex-competitors."

The first door opens. The first hoof has been step out from the shadows. Then steps off from the carriage. Rainbow Dash had a look on her face. She know this mare. A mare with with a yellow fur coat, fury orange hair, a wonderbolt's formal suit with shiny medals and a dark shady shades. Twilight was also shock.

"Rainbow Crash! How dare you didn't sent an invitation to your commander of the wonderbolt's!"

Rainbow Dash hardly spoke. "S ... Spi ... Spitfir ... rre?"

Spitfire walks over and laugh. "What? Didn't you want to see your old friend?"

Rainbow Dash could not help but smile. "Oh Spitfire."

Both Spitfire and Rainbow Dash hug for a long time. Tears came through Dash eyes. Twilight and the rest had some small tears.

"It's been so long. Like I could not even remember what was the last time I hangout with you guys." Rainbow replied.

"Nor even when you retire." Spitfire added.

Both then broke the hug.

"But I'm not here to discuss that. It can wait for later. Right now I brought a friend who is actually here for the game."

Spitfire pointed back at the carriage where another mare came step out. Rainbow Dash heart drop. She couldn't believe her eyes. A dark blue mane with a light blue color fur. Also wearing a wonderbolt suit with some medals as well.

Spitfire yells. "Come on soldier! Is that how you act as second in command! Sergeant Soarin!"

Rainbow Dash stops breathing. There was a moment where Dashes had a fix on her eyes on the blue mare that was once her friend. Ending up in the hospital after the "Battle of Equestria" and then becomes a hero for his courage. But then after that Rainbow Dash left the Wonderbolt Corps, she had no feelings for him before. Or did she ...

Back in Twilight's Castle where we left off Starlight Glimmer and Spike, both are actually having fun.

"NO SPIKE I THINK SHE FROZE!"

Well sort off.

"She did not froze, she just stare at him like he was nothing Starlight. You need to keep a close eye to Rainbow Dash's reactions."

Spike took a sip of his drink. Starlight came back from the kitchen to get more popcorn.

"I don't think so Spike. You just saw Rainbow Dash face expression. You cannot see it but you can tell from inside her."

Spike spits his drink from his mouth. "Ewwwww Starlight that's disgusting."

Starlight Glimmer face slaps. "Ughhh ... Spike one day I'm going to cast a spell on you to shut up."

***

"Soarin" is what makes Rainbow Dash keeps thinking about. Has she been thinking about Soarin this while time and she's not even knowing about it? As soon Spitfire says his name, Soarin started to walk over. It took him for while. Until he finally stoop in front of Rainbow Dash. Both of them had an awkward moment. There was a long silence between the two. It did not last long when Twilight cleared her throat.

"Ummmm ... can anypony starts introducing? There isn't much time to stay quiet."

Soarin and Rainbow Dash snaps out of it.

"Oh what- Oh! Right. Umm Hi I'm Rainbow Dash and welcome to the competition-"

Again silence and again Spitfire breaks the silence.

"And this here Soarin. He is just a bit uptight from the day Sun Celebration came and he has to represent the whole town for his courage."

Soarin blushed. "Oh that was nothing. Just a small speech and nothing else."

Twilight smiled. "Wow that's great. I think I was there and I did saw you. You did great. Welcome again and step right this path so you can enter the main entrance of the hotel. Have fun."

Twilight wave as Soarin started to walk into the hotel, looking back at Rainbow Dash.

"Okay then. Thanks. See you later I guess."

Spitfire rolled her eyes.

"I knew it. He's nervous. Thought I had talk to him out of it."

Rainbow Dash who is still in the gaze, makes Twilight to distract her.

"Okay next competitor."

Another door open and out came Caramel. Surprisingly Rainbow had no chills or any whatsoever. Greeted Twilight and Rainbow. Spitfire who is actually joined the rest of the mane six behind. As soon Caramel entered the hotel, Rainbow Dash snickers.

"I bet he won't survive a few minutes with me."

Pinkie giggled along side with Spitfire's laughs. Twilight elbowed Dash for her rude comments.

"Rainbow Dash don't say that. You might never know what happens."

Dash tries to hold in. "Okay. But he's alright though. Let's see who's next."

"Wow. None off them are good for Rainbow Dash." Spike, chewing his popcorn.

"Says the dragon who is talking with his mouth full." Starlight Glimmer smiled.

Spike glared back. Then went back on eating the popcorn. Starlight shrugged. Picking up her drink using her magic.

"Besides why none off them are good?" Starlight took a sip. "Hmmm, needs more ice."

While Starlight took off into the kitchen, Spike answer loudly so Starlight can hear. "Well look at them. They are not even Rainbow type."

chew chew

"I mean look at Count Caesar. He is like a fancy pancy pony with no attention in action. And he's going to get his ass kick."

Starlight Glimmer return with more snacks to offer.

"Well that is true. But what about some apples. I mean they are a few Applejack's relatives and you see how tough they are? How hard can it be?"

Spike keeps chewing his popcorn.

"Well you got a point but not tough as Rainbow Dash. Besides what's the worse thing can happen."

With that somepony familiar scream in the TV screen. "Guess who here!" Starlight and Spike jaw dropped, dropping their snacks onto the floor.

"I don't believe it. He's here?" Spike still gazing at the TV screen.

Starlight started to know the mess. Picking up the snacks from the floor. "Is he really doing it? Or he is just sponsering somepony else. Because Spitfire introduce Soarin. Maybe he is just supporting."

***

Rainbow Dash feel bored already. Rainbow Dash is so half asleep that Twilight has to wake Dash up in order to meet the competitors and know their names.

Dash stretched and her spine crack. "Ugh .... my wings are already dying. How many more left?"

Twilight ignore Dash's complaints but answered anyway. "Well we have met 14, so there are 16 left. Close to meet halfway."

Dash groan.

"Cheer up Crash," Spitfire added, "and besides you may never know what's coming. All those pips won't stand the chance to get you. Nopony can reach your limit." Spitfire whisper, Nopony besides Soarin. I'm actually rooting for him.

Twilight looked back at Spitfire, surprisingly was heard, but Twilight smiled. Nodding at Spitfire of understatement, Spitfire smiled back. Twilight went back to Dash.

"You see Dash all those pony look competitive and also had some confident in them. Who else and what's the worse could happen?"

Just then as soon Twilight finished the sentence, one of the carriages door pop open without letting the servant open for them. A tall green mare reach his hoof out and yelled.

"Guess who here!"

Rainbow Dash instantly look up. Twilight and the others did the same. Rainbow Dash looked in shock.

"Wait please don't tell me-"

The green tall mare walk up proudly. Wearing a shiny blue tuxedo with a small rainbow pin on his jacket. Resemblance of Rainbow Dash. Finally he stop in front of Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

"Hello Rainbows how you doing? What a great invitation you sent me. I couldn't thank you enough."

Twilight, Rainbow, Spitfire and the rest of the six except Fluttershy who just blushed and smile ran up to the tall green mare and jump on top of him for a hug.

"Oh my little brother. Your all grown up. I can't believe your here Zephyr Breeze."

Rainbow hardly spoke. "Zzzzz- Zephyr- Breeze?"

Zephyr couldn't help but hug his older sister Fluttershy.

"Yes Fluttershy. I'm here. How's mom and dad doing?"

Fluttershy spread in tears. "Oh they miss you so much. We thought you couldn't make any family time events after the ..... "Battle of Equestria.""

She stop and bring more tears from her eyes. Zephyr wipe them off.

"Big sis I'm always here with you no matter what. Same with mom and dad. I will never forget you. Because you are my family."

At that point both hug for a long time. The rest of the mares also drop a tear from their eyes. Spitfire tried so hard not to cry.

"In the meantime where is Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash snap out after Zephyr said her name.

"Oh I uh- hey Zephyr it's nice to see you too."

Rainbow Dash gave a cheesy smile. Zephyr went closer to Rainbow Dash.

"You know I can already see are future. You and me flying through the red clouds. Making the love between us."

Twilight and Rainbow Dash had the same mind saying, Oh no not again. Zephyr laugh.

"Hahaha I'm just kidding Dashie. I'm just messing with you. I can tell your smiles. They are so cheesy."

With that Zephyr took Dash's hoof and french kiss. Dash blushed. Her whole body shook. She did not expected that to happen. Nor did the others. Spitfire on the other hand had a bit of jealousy in her mind.

Oh no you don't. Wait until you meet Soarin. And he better do something about it. If not, I will.

***

Starlight Glimmer and Spike stood motionless in the living room. Neither of them spoke. There is silence in the room. Not a single sound but the sound of the TV rolling on air. (The Dashelorette Show. Not the TV actually rolling in air.)  Anyway, Starlight Glimmer broke the silence.

"Well his not that bad. At least he change a bit. What can happen?"

Spike suddenly burst into panic. "OH NO! NO NO NO NO NOOO! THIS IS NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD AT ALL!"

Starlight immediately froze Spike. This had been through this before when Spike is about to freak out.

"Spike. Just relax a bit. Tell me what's wrong. Tell me the bad side of it." And with that she unfroze Spike. He took a deep breathe.

"Okay. You see ... Zephyr breeze is a not so bad pony but a I had a feeling that he is going to be one of those that can easily attract Rainbow Dash to like him. She doesn't like him at all at first, but the way he kiss her hoof ... you see the way how Rainbow Dash react? She was like ... like ... like ... like I don't know but it's definitely bad!"

Starlight picked up Spike and placed him on the couch. Finishing the mess they both did and brought new snacks.

"Well you may be right or may be wrong. There are still 15 competitors left to see. Just relax and let's keep watching"

And with that Starlight gave Spike a cinnamon pretzel and a new drink, Spike thanked Starlight and starts eating and drinking. Same with Starlight. Both calmly continue watching. Not knowing what's going to happen next.
