Someday, or Maybe Tomorrow?

"Zappy?!" Rainbow Dash temporarily forgot about her stallion troubles. She threw her arms around him as a tear escaped her eye. "You're here!"

"Baby Blue, I told you I would come find you." Lightning Bolt wiped her tears away and kissed her. "But one question, what's with the 3 ponies down there screaming for you to come down?"

"Long story. First we need to catch up." Rainbow Dash couldn't bring herself to let him go. She felt a little flutter in her heart, causing the stab wounds to heal just a bit. Dash reminded herself that she shouldn't be feeling this way.

Remember what happened with Caramel. How do you know he won't do that to you?

"Yes, but before we do that, I need a place to stay and I saw a room for rent sign outside..." Lightning replied, hoping he'd let her stay.

"Sure, you are always welcome in my house. Follow me, I'll show you the room. You can stay for free, but with one rule. NO parties after 4 in the morning." Dash joked.

Lightning laughed as he followed. He had missed her so much. He had searched every town, gone everywhere the Wonderbolts went, expecting Dash to be with them. She wasn't, but two of the members, Spitfire and Soarin', were friends with her. They directed him to the right town and to talk to the right people. Dash led him to a room with a king sized bed.

"I missed you so much! What have you been doing all this time?" Lightning asked.

"I landed the best job ever, managing the weather. I do it by myself, but I love seeing everyone's happy faces on a sunny day." Rainbow noticed that her personality was different around Lightning. She felt utterly exposed... and it terrified her. There was a few other times she felt this way.

It was 3 months before Rainbow Dash broke up with Caramel. By this time Rainbow Dash had fallen in love with Caramel. It was their 7 month anniversary. Rainbow was sleeping over at Caramel's house almost every weekend. They had a semi-platonic relationship. They had sex rarely, only because Caramel never asked and never seemed to want to do it, unless it was a blowjob from Dash. She had to ask him to pleasure her, and he did it well, but in a grudge. So they spent most of their time watching movies, playing board games and eating ice cream, afterwards they snuggled on the couch. Every time, sometime during the night, Caramel would go to the kitchen and say he ran out of ice cream. The first few times Dash went and got ice cream from her house, but one night she noticed something strange. Caramel was gone when she came back. She gave him the benefit of the doubt and flew around until he got back.

The next time she decided to follow him. She brought ice cream early and hid it in the snow. When he asked her to bring some back she hid behind a bush and waited for him to leave the house. She was surprised to find him walking to Sweet Apple Acres. A bad feeling rose in her throat. Was... was Caramel having an affair with Applejack? Was that why he never wanted sex? What she discovered was far worse. She saw him through a window in Big Mac's bed.

Big Mac kissed him. "How much time do we have?"

"About 30 minutes." Caramel whispered. "She likes to stop and talk to friends on the way back."

"Okay. I don't really want to do anything too dirty today, Candy Apple" Big Mac replied, quietly so Applejack didn't hear in the other room. Candy Apple? Dirty? What was going on?

"Is this okay?" Caramel leaned over and put his hoof around Big Mac's body. Rainbow Dash felt her heart drop to her stomach.

"Yes. But maybe a little more." Big Mac suggested. Suddenly Dash felt sick.

"Like this?" Caramel said, and kissed him. Big Mac pulled his head and kissed passionately.

Rainbow spread her wings as she heard a muffled "yes." Then she took off.

Dash shook off that memory. She needed to focus. She needed to pay attention and enjoy Lightning now that he was here. Now they could start a family like he promised.

She pulled him in a kiss. How she missed his kisses. All of his kisses made her feel like she was doing a thousand Sonic Rainbooms. She tackled him to the bed, still kissing him.

"Whoa, Dash, You missed me that much?" Lightning smiled. She loved his sense of humor.

"So how about we-- Oh, no. I-I can't do this." Rainbow Dash stood up as another memory of Caramel's sex scene with Big Mac flashed through her mind. "I just... can't. You know what? Here's the number to call for pizza. I'm not hungry so just pay the guy with this. I'll see you in the morning." She handed him some coins and fled the room. When she reached her own she curled up in a ball in her room and cried herself to sleep.
