“Your really going to be taking Rainbow Dash on a date?” Rarity asked Soarin who nodded.

“The trick is making it a date that’s not your traditional type. Dash is a mare of action over words. So a flight through the skies followed by a picnic out in an open field is more along the lines of how you should date Dash.” Soarin said.

“Yeah that is different then how most like to date.” Applejack said.

“Just look at Twilight and Flash Sentry; the two have dated like you’d expect them to have them. And right now she’s just playing the field to see if a certain thing she had is more then just a crush.” Rarity said.

“You know Dash though; she’s not the kind of mare that likes that sort of thing. You have to go about dating her differently. She’s a tomboy, yes; but still a mare.” Soarin said.

“Ain’t that the truth.” Applejack said.

A bit later, Soarin and Rainbow Dash were having a great time flying and enjoying each other’s company. Which did eventually end in a picnic shared between the two of them.

“Seriously Soarin, how did you figure out I like a different kind of dating?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“You always struck me as a mare who believes actions speak louder then words. I just filled things in from there. Well and…Applejack may have told me that you don’t like the kind of romance your friend Rarity is into.” Soarin said.

“I do like romance I just don’t like it being so over the top and mushy feeling.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Hey me too. Romance is fine and all, but I am not a big fan for the kind of mushy you’d see in a fairy tail.” Soarin said.

“Guess that’s why your such a good stallion for me then.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Did any others try to date you?” Soarin asked.

“Not really. I was once really thinking about this one other Wonderbolt, Thunderlane, but I found out later already he already was dating somepony.” Rainbow Dash said. “And that would be my friend Derpy Hooves or as she prefers to be called, Muffins. No way was I going to take a stallion away from a friend. So I dropped my attraction to him. The two are married now. It’s unfortunate that I had a rush job at the factory to do at the same time as their wedding. Muffins said it was fine and told me that she and Thunderlane talked and decided that if they have a kid and something happens to them, they want me to look after him or her.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Guess that’s where your whole wanting loyalty from your partner comes from.” Soarin said.

“Yeah. I should probably see if the two are doing okay at some point.” Rainbow Dash. Suddenly a Pegasus messenger showed up.

“Miss Rainbow Dash? I need you to come to Cloudsdale hospital right away; Derpy Hooves is having a child right now.” He said.

“Let’s get over there.” Soarin said.

“Yeah let’s jet!” Rainbow Dash said and both her and Soarin sped off.

A bit short, but I did my best to make this as packed as I could.
