Three Dates

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Zephyr Breeze was very excited. In just fifteen minutes, he would go pick Rainbow Dash for dinner toghter. After several failed attempts, he had finally convinced her to go on one date. And now if was finally happening! He fixed the bow on his tuxedo, fixed his bun, and sped out the door, quickly spraying cologne. He usuallly acted 'cool' around Rainbow, but now he couldn't control it!

"Hey Dash. Ready to go?" called Zephyr outside Rainbow’s large home, made entirely of clouds.

"Coming!" called Rainbow. She was wearing a lovely dark blue dress with yellow swirls, and he hair was tied up. They flew to the Local Cloudsdale Restaurant, and asked for a table for two.

“So, Dash, what’s up?” asked Zephyr, trying to start the conversation.

Rainbow shrugged, “Nothing much, some flying and we’re goin’ on a tour in like, three days time. How’s Mane Therapy?”

“Oh wonderful! I just got a job at ‘15 Minutes of Therapy’, and it’s amazing! But I couldn’t have done it without you” said Zephyr, as he tipped salt into a pile, “Oops”

“That’s awesome! So, all those times I turned you down for a flight...” said Rainbow, as she ate.

“Well, how ‘bout a flight now” asked Zephyr.

“Thought you’d never ask” smirked Rainbow Dash, flying out the door, “You know, you’re not as bad as I thought Zeph”

Zephyr blushed, following her, “You’re not as cocky as I thought”

“Are you kidding? I know I’m cocky, and I like it. But it’s good to see someone who believes otherwise” said Rainbow Dash, smiling in gratitude. The pair flew around Cloudsdale, and at one point they had a cloud fight. Kind of like a snow fight, except with clouds, the name is self explanatory.

“Hey Dash, wanna hang out another time?” asked Zephyr, zipping around the gardens.

“Sure, as a date or friends?” She asked, slowing down and landing near a patch of roses.

“What do you want?” said Zephyr, plucking on and handing it to Rainbow Dash

Rainbow thought, “Date”

“I didn’t expect this to be so fun” said Rainbow Dash, after they finished.

“Guess I’ll see you later Dash” said Zephyr, flying towards Fluttershy’s cottage.

Knock Knock Knock “Hi Zephyr, what a pleasant surprise, come in” said Fluttershy, opening the door. Discord was sitting inside chewing on paper, smirking at Zephyr, as if it were his own home.

“Zephyr, how good to see you” he said, “What brings you here?”

“Uh, shouldn’t I be asking you that?” asked Zephyr.

“Um, we were just having um, a chat” said Fluttershy, blushing.

“In the middle of the night?” said Zephyr incredulously.

“Come on Fluttershy, we’re having a date. We’re an almost couple” said Discord, pulling Fluttershy in, throwing Angel off the couch.

“Um, don't do that in front of me. And funny enough, I’m coming from a date as well” smirked Zephyr.

“Really, with who?” asked Fluttershy.

“Rainbow Dash” As soon as Zephyr said that, Discord burst out laughing, wiping tears. He gradually stopped.

“You’re serious?” He laughed, “She hates you! And she’s going out with Quibble Pants tomorrow”

Fluttershy glared at Discord, “I’m sure none of that is true, and I hope you had a wonderful time Zephyr”

As Zephyr walked out the door, Discord floated near him, “The date with Quibble is at the Hoof Cafe nine pm” he whispered.


The next night, Zephyr unwillingly went to Hoof Cafe at nine, just to be sure. He knew Dash was loyal, she was the element of loyal, for ponies sake! Discord was just trying to manipulate him, that’s all. “Can’t believe Fluttershy is dating a creep like him” muttered Zephyr.

He peeked inside the window to see Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants sitting together, exactly like he was the last night!

“So, this is your ‘Daring Do Critique Meeting’?” smirked Rainbow Dash, as their food arrived.

“Yes, and it’s also a d-d-d-d-d-“ stuttered Quibble, fiddling with his watch.

“Date?” volunteered Rainbow Dash. Quibble nodded, “I’ve been on a bunch of those”

“Well, so good to hang out, away from Daring Do” sighed Quibble.

“Wasn’t this a Daring Do Critique Session” reminded Rainbow Dash. Quibble blushed.

“Hey, there’s a Daring Do book club meeting, wanna come?” asked Quibble.

“Sure” said Rainbow, as they walked out the door. Zephyr hid inside some nearby bushes. He picked up bush, and followed them. Quibble turned around, and Zephyr stood still, panting. They entered a large orange tent.

“You two together?” asked a white Pegasus mare, with dark green mane. Rainbow nodded, “Adorable, hey, her mane style and your colour together would look exactly like Daring Do’s! Destiny” gushed the mare. Zephyr rolled his eyes from inside the bush. He peeked inside the window, and spied on them.

“That Quibble is getting too close” growled Zephyr. After the date finished, Zepyhr pulled Quibble to a corner. He opened his mouth to scream, but Zephyr put his hoof in Quibble’s mouth.

“Let me tell you something, but you can’t scream” said Zephyr slowly, as Rainbow was still inside. Quibble nodded.

“Rainbow Dash went on a date with me yesterday” said Zephyr, as Quibble stared.

“But what does that mean?” Quibble asked.

“It means this” said Zephyr, pointing inside. Rainbow Dash was reading a note, and she read it out loud, “Want to come to Mane Park tomorrow night? Soarin” read Rainbow Dash, smiling. She walked out the door as Zephyr and Quibble hid in the bushes.

“See! She’s going out with three stallions at the same time!” said Zephyr.

“We aren’t dating, it was just one date” protested Quibble.

“Whatever, stay away from my mare Quibble” growled Zephyr.

Your mare? She just went out with me, so you’re long forgotten” sneered Quibble.

“Well we’ll see who’s dating Rainbow tomorrow after her date with Soarin. But I’m pretty sure she isn’t into creeps like you” said Zephyr flying off.


The following night, Zephyr and Quibble met up, and hid in some bushes.

“Let’s see her reject you” said Quibble.

“Get a mirror dude. Look, here they come” said Zephyr. Rainbow Dash and Soarin took a seat at the bench, eating take away food.

“So good to take a break from Wonderbolt practice” sighed Rainbow Dash, digging into her food.

“Even better with you” said Soarin, grinning as he ate it with a knife and fork and Rainbow stuffing her face.

“Oh my gosh Soarin. You know I’ve always looked up to you” said Rainbow, poking him playfully. Quibble and Zephyr gagged from inside the bushes.

“Seriously? I should look up to you. You saved my pie, and me twice!” reminded Soarin, pulling out his phone with images of Raimbow saving him in various places.

“Yeah, still, you were a Wonderbolt before me” said Rainbow blushing.

“But I was older. If we were in the same age, you would’ve been in the ‘Bolts before me” said Soarin.

“Oh, you’re just saying that” said Rainbow, inching forward.

“I mean every word” whispered Soarin, leaning into a kiss. Before they could kiss, Zephyr and Quibble jumped out of the bushes.

“Stop right there” they yelled. Rainbow slammed her hoof in her face.

“Um, so good to see you two” muttered Rainbow.

“I never knew you could be so scandalous” said Quibble glaring at her.

“What are they talking about Dash?” asked Soarin. All three of them glared at Rainbow Dash, as she smiled awkwardly. She needed to give them an answer, pronto!


Author's Note

I really wanted to do this. I’m on a Rainbow Dash spree these days, but she is my favourite. I can relate to her most. And I’m intrigued to see how this will go myself!
