"Wow, I can't believe you did a stunt like that" said Rumble, dreamily gazing at Scootaloo. Scootaloo took a sip of her drink.

"Well, Rainbow Dash helped me learn it, so I can't take all the credit" added Scootaloo, as Rumble winced at the mention of Rainbow Dash. Inside, he was no doubt surprised Rainbow Dash taught a stunt like that, but right now, Rainbow Dash wasn't too fond of him, so best to keep her out of the conversation.

"Oh, look here comes desert" pointed Rumble, happy of the timing. Scootaloo smiled and thanks the waitress, and began to eat. Her face lit up with joy as she took the first bite.

"Woah, its really sweet, just the way I like it!" she grinned, shoving another bite in.

"Compared to how sweet you are, its nothing" said Rumble, happy with his line.

"Aw, thanks. You mean it?" asked Scootaloo, leaning closer.

"Yes" breathed Rumble, also leaning for a kiss. As the came closer, a loud bang caused them to open their eyes, as they saw a livid cyan mare flying above their table. Before they could do anything, Rainbow Dash charged towards Rumble.

"I thought I told you to stay away from her!" yelled Rainbow, causing the other couples to stare. Rumble broke into nervous sweat, eyes darting around.

"I-I-" Rumble was lost for words.

"Rainbow, listen-" started Scootaloo, racing forward to defend Rumble.

"You stay out of this" shouted Rainbow, "What were you thinking?"

"I really like him, okay?" screamed Scootaloo, blushing furiously. Rumble and Rainbow Dash froze to stare at her. Rainbow's face hardened to steel.

"Fine. You can go choose him over me, see if I care" snarled Rainbow Dash.

"No, that's not-"

"You know what Scootaloo? Forget it. I want you to be happy, and if being with him makes you happier, even if it means I have to loose you, I won't stop you from that happiness" said Rainbow Dash, flying towards the door, hot tears streaking her face. Scootaloo ran out after her, but by the time she went out, Rainbow Dash was long gone.

Scootaloo whimpered softly into a cloud above Ponyville, sobbing quietly. How did she get up there? She attached a ladder to the cloud, and quickly threw away the ladder. Since she was a pegasus after all, she might as well use some of her ability. Still deep in her cloud, she felt a soft thud next to her. She expected to see Fluttershy or Twilight, but instead, it was a light blue pegasus colt with striking nave blue mane.

"Mister Soarin?" asked Scootaloo, wiping her tears.

"Scootaloo, how many times have I told you, just Soarin" said Soarin, ruffling her mane, "Why aren't you at home?"

"Well, you see-" Scootaloo didn't know how to put it, and started crying hysterically, "I like this colt and Rainbow Dash doesn't want me to, and she got mad at me when she found out we went on a date, and I said I really liked him, and she got furious and said 'I want you to be happy, so go ahead, choose him over me' But that wasn't what I meant and-"

Scootaloo took a deep breath, "Long story short- I messed up"

Soarin wrapped his wing around the filly, "Scootaloo, let me tell you a very interesting story today"

He coughed, and began, "Once, when I was just your age as well, I started liking a filly; beautiful, fearless, brave, loyal"

"Rainbow Dash!" cheered Scootaloo. Soarin laughed, "Yeah, her. So I used to get tongue-tied near her, blush constantly, and was very shy. One day, I drove up the courage to ask her out. But she refused"

Scootaloo's faced turned to confusion, "What?"

"Yes, she said that it would get in the way of her flying, and she was to embarrassed to be seen in public with a colt. Of course, I was devestated by it, and funny enough, Rainbow came to me a week later, and wanted to go out with me. Guess my charm really worked" smirked Soarin, as Scootaloo giggled.

"So we went out, had a great night. And then all of a sudden, Fluttershy came out of nowhere, and started chewing me out, sort of like Rainbow did today"

"Fluttershy?"

Soarin nodded, "She may seem shy, but she is super protective over her friends. And then Rainbow stood up for me, and the two had a big falling out. In fact, they became friends again, but Rainbow pretended she wasn't dating me. When she became a Wonderbolt, the media ponies caught us, and Fluttershy found out. She forgave Dash, and we're friends now, so it ended well"

"Woah, that is amazing" said Scootaloo. Soarin chuckled.

"I learnt a life long lesson, and so did Rainbow: stand up for what you believe, and believe in your heart, mind and soul. What are they telling you now?"

Scootaloo thought for a bit, "Well, I want to be with Rumble, but I don't want to loose Rainbow Dash in the process"

"No problem, I can convince Rainbow, easy as pie" smiled Soarin.

"Soarin, you love pies, and say they are 'complicated at us ponies'" laughed Scootaloo.

"We'll make an exception just this once. Plus I'm hungry for a delicious apple pie" said Soarin, licking his lips, and helping Scootaloo down from the cloud.

"Thanks Soarin, you're the best!" exclaimed Scootaloo, hugging Soarin and catching him off guard, as the two headed off to grab some pie.

Rainbow Dash lay uncomfortably on her sofa, still shocked by the recent events. Did she go too hard on Scootaloo? She was still young after all. Getting up, her mind started racing, as she paniced. Scootaloo could be anywhere, because of her stupidness! Punching the pillow, she curled back into a ball. The door opened as Soarin trotted in. Rainbow lifted her head, expecting Scootaloo.

"Oh, its only you"

Soarin frowned, "Hey, how about some love?

He snuggled up next to Rainbow, "Don't worry, I know where Scoots it"

Rainbow Dash's face lit up as she bounced across the room, "Really? Where is she?"

"Let's talk about what you did" said Soarin, pulling his marefriend's tail, bringing her back onto the ground.

Rainbow Dash gulped nervously. How badly could she have overreacted after all?
