"Can you believe we're married?" said Rainbow Dash, taking in the breathtaking view of the snowy hillside.

"I can, I just hope Caramel isn't right" muttered Soarin.

"Right about what?"

"About all wives bossing there husbands around in under 12 months, knowing you it'll be earlier" Soarin explained, reading his book.

Rainbow Dash turned around to face him. "What are you trying to say, that I'm hot-tempered?"

"Well, yeah, duh"

Rainbow Dash felt herself scorch with anger. "We just got married and you're pointing out my faults? Which stallion does that?"

"Well Caramel-" started Soarin.

"I don't care what Caramel did!" yelled Rainbow, storming off into the bedroom.

She lay angrily as Soarin came to comfort her. "Okay, sorry, I shouldn't have been that honest with you"

"Really?"

"Well here I am, trying to be a good sport, and you're just acting like a stuck up princess, probably because you're friends with one!"

"Don't you dare insult my friend, who is way better then any of your stupid friends!" screamed the Element Of Loyalty.

"I don't know why I married someone as agumentive as you!" shouted Soarin.

"That's it, I'm leaving" said Rainbow Dash, packing her bag and heading out the door.

The next day, Scootaloo saw Rainbow Dash sitting on a storm cloud.

"Rainbow?" she called from below.

"Leave me alone" growled Rainbow Dash.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon with Soarin?"

"We had a fight" Rainbow sighed.

"Come on Dash! You two used to always say how in love you are, you can't let a silly fight get in the way of that!" Scootaloo said.

"You know what- you're right! Thanks Scoots!" said Rainbow, leaving a trail of cloud behind.

"No problem" said Scootaloo, happily humming to herself.

Knock knock knock "Oh, it's you!" growled Soarin, when he opened the door.

"Listen, I'm sorry, I think we can agree, that a silly fight shouldn't ruin our relationship" Rainbow said.

"I'm sorry too, how about we, start over?" said Soarin, giving his awkward-yet-adorable cute smile Rainbow had been dying to see. She leapt in and kissed him happily, catching him off guard.

"Shall we take a seat?" smirked Soarin, bringing her to the fireplace.

"We shall!"

All of a sudden, Rainbow Dash saw a letter addressed to Soarin from the corner of her eye. It was opened.

"I'll just go make us some coffee, okay Dash?" called Soarin from the kitchen.

"Yeah yeah" muttered Rainbow, opening the letter.

Dear Soarin,

It's been too long. I miss you, and I need to see you. I read in the Canterlot Courier that you got married to 'Rainbow Dash' I knew you were going to date some cheap mare, but Dash? You can do so much better! Like me, for example! Meet me today at 9, the usual

Love, Sky Swirl

Rainbow Dash lit up with anger. "Looks like Soarin is seeing another mare! I'll catch him in the act today at 6" she thought.

"Here's your coffee honey" said Soarin, handing her the mug. Rainbow Dash glared daggers at him.

"Something I said?" he muttered weakly underneath her glare.

"Nope. Great coffee!" said Rainbow Dash, suddenly beaming. Soarin sighed with relief. The last thing they needed was another fight.

At six of clock that afternoon, Rainbow pretended to make dinner, while Soarin said he had to pick up his Womderbolt training equipment. After he left, Rainbow slowly followed after him, and she noticed he was flying towards the Hoof Cafe. Everypony knew at that time, Berry Punch was around, and it was best to steer clear of her.

Rainbow saw Soarin talking to Berry Punch. Berry hit a few bricks, and a passage opened below. Soarin walked down into the cellar, as Rainbow snuck past Berry and followed him. She hid behind a pillar and saw Soarin walking up to a light blue Pegasus, with a poofy snow white mane, with streaks of dark blue.

"Soarin, it's been so long" said the mare, edging closer to Soarin, "It's like you've forgotten me"

"I left Dash making dinner to do this, she has no clue" Soarin said. Rainbow's eyes welled up with tears. She pounced out of the shadows.

"Still getting your training equipment?" sneered Rainbow Dash.

"Dash!" cried Soarin, pulling the mare off his arm, "This isn't what it looks like!"

Rainbow laughed, "Every stallion who gets caught says that, but they all have a valid reason. But you can't have a reason. You're clearly cheating on me!"

"Dash listen-" started Soarin.

"Don't you say my name!" yelled Rainbow, hot tears streaming from her face, "You're cheating on me"

"FOR GOODNESS SAKES, I'M NOT CHEATING ON YOU!" roared Soarin. The room became so quiet you could here a pin drop.

"Wow" said Rainbow, walking out.

"Rainbow, I'm sorry-" said Soarin, calming down.

"Save it" whispered Rainbow Dash, flying out the cellar, silent tears streaming down.

"Great. She didn't even let me explain, she could be mad, but seriously? This was too far" said Soarin, his anger bubbling up again.

"Can we continue?" asked the mare flirtatiously. Soarin groaned and shoved her off, flying out of the cellar.

That night, Rainbow sobbed quietly in her room. Her friends suddenly burst in.

"Rainbow?" Pinkie said. She had never seen her friend so upset before, "Let's turn that frown upside down!"

"Rainbow Dash, are you okay?" asked Twillight. Rainbow got up, her face tear streaked.

"That Soarin's going to pay!" said Rarity.

"No, forget it, he's not worth it" sighed Rainbow.

"You know what Dash, if Soarin can't love you for who you are, you need to get rid of him" said Fluttershy.

"What are you saying?" Rainbow was confused.

"Divorce" Everyone went silent.

"I'm with Fluttershy, Soarin just ain't worth so much pain, so just get rid of 'im" Applejack said.

"I'll talk to Princess Celestia, but according to Equestrian law, you have to go to court against him, in trial" explained Twilight, "You have to be trained, Princess Celestia will train you and I'll do Soarin"

"What! I'm so confused" Rainbow said.
