The newly wedded couple was leaving to go on their honeymoon, and is tradition before they left, Twilight would toss the bouquet of flowers and someone would catch it. Of course, many single mares were scrambling for the bouquet of flowers.

"...Remind me again, why do ponies care about catching a cluster of flowers?" Pharynx asked Rainbow Dash; one of the only mares there not scrambling for the flowers.

"Some old mare's tale; whoever catches the bouquet is said to be next to get married." Rainbow Dash said.

"And ponies actually believe that?" Pharynx asked.

"Well...I don't know. Twilight just so happened to catch the bouquet by random chance. I highly doubt it's true." Rainbow Dash said. The mares were currently fighting over the Bouquet. "...I say we move on now. They'll be at this for a while." Rainbow Dash said.

"Where'd the flowers go anyways?" Pharynx asked. "Just curious." He said.

"I'd...rather not say..." Rainbow Dash said with a blush.

"...You caught them by chance didn't you?" Pharynx asked.

"SHHHH! SPOILERS!" Rainbow Dash said and then everyone left after realizing the flowers were missing.

"So, I guess we'll see if that whole wedding thing with the flowers is true for you in your future." Pharynx said.

"I don't really believe that kind of stuff." Rainbow Dash said. "I personally think it's a bunch of random chance." She added.

"Heh...not much of a superstitious person huh?" Pharynx asked.

"I say this whole thing is just for kicks. Besides, I'm not that kind of mare." Rainbow Dash said.

"So I can tell, what with the way your choosing to go about romance." Pharynx said.

"Well, I'm going to go train now." Rainbow Dash said.

"Train? Aren't you already a wonderbolt?" Pharynx asked.

"So? I'm always striving to get better and better." Rainbow Dash said. "No sense in holding back." She said and flew off.

"...Huh...reminds me of me..." Pharynx said.

Not much seemed to happen that weekend, though Pharynx had been secretly keeping an eye on Rainbow Dash. It seems that Soarin was just being too...much for the cyan pegasus. As in the fellow wonderbolt was being too...romantic for the athletic pegasus. Thankfully, that was just the weekend. Pharynx approached Rainbow Dash the first chance he got after.

"You okay?" Pharynx asked.

"I'll be fine. I may end up being gay. I'm not sure yet." Rainbow Dash said. "Seems the only pony who understands me and what I'm about is Applejack, even then that's just because we bounded real good over being competitive." She added.

"You like to be competitive huh? I may not be able to pull off one of those Sonic Rainbooms, but I am the fastest changeling flier in the hive. I'd like to see how I hold up against you in a flight race." Pharynx said.

"Your on; I've been meaning to see how good you changelings fly." Rainbow Dash said.

Despite the race being clear for Rainbow Dash to win, Pharynx wasn't that far behind her and Rainbow didn't want to use the sonic rainboom to beat a changeling as she wanted Pharynx to have a fighting chance. She did not expect him to be just as fast as any wonderbolt though.

"Dang...no wonder you got into the wonderbolts. I expected to lose but wow..." Pharynx said. "Guess I need more training." He added.

"You train too?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah. I train almost every day. Not just with flying, but everything else to. Even if we changelings no longer have to worry too much about invaders, that's no excuse to get lax. I didn't become former Queen Chrysalis's most trusted drone for nothing. In fact, I was and still am the highest ranking guard. Speed alone isn't all I'm good at." Pharynx said.

"Interesting. Mind some competitions to see what's what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You bet." Pharynx said, smiling.

Throughout the rest of the day, the two of them were practically neck and neck with competitions. Pharynx used his magic as little as possible though.

"Got to admit Pharynx, your pretty awesome for a changeling." Rainbow Dash said to Pharynx after everything was done.

"But we tied so we don't even know which one of us is better then the other." Pharynx said.

"Maybe so, but I actually feel accomplished none the less. Even though I may not have beat you, this has been the best time I've had since Applejack." Rainbow Dash said.

"Heh...you know what, I don't think I've had this much of a great time doing the sort of things I train myself to do on a daily basis either." Pharynx said. "So, we agree to truce this and say that we both won?" He asked.

"Yeah. I can agree with that. I can't wait to hang more with you. I feel like hanging with you, will really help me continue to improve even better then by myself." Rainbow Dash said.

"I can agree with that statement. Let's help each other improve by hanging out like this often." Pharynx said and the two hoof bumped. "You may be a mare, but your so athletic. I don't think I've had this much fun ever." The changeling added.

"And your not afraid to keep things fair just like me. I'm glad for that." Rainbow Dash said.

"I like keeping things fair." Pharynx said. "At least with competition like this. Of course I'd hate to be on the wrong side of the line with you." He added.

"Same. I one hundred percent agree. Your like 20% cooler then all other changelings. See ya around." Rainbow Dash said and sped off.

"Heh...I like her spunk. I could get used to this." Pharynx said.

Author's Note

So after doing some thinking, as you may have noticed, I decided to ship Rainbow Dash with Pharynx instead of Soarin for this fan-fic. This is a ship I don't see used that often and I figured I could set things up for that as you can see. I figured that even though I include Soarindash as a "ship I will write about", with quite a few stories of mine including SoarinDash as a romantic ship, I figured it was time to mix things up around here. I hope you all appreciate this direction I'm taking.
