Spirit of Dying

Soarin' remembers the first time he saw her. It was just after they had been rescued by a young mare called Rainbow Dash at the Best Young Flyer Competition. A group of Rainbow Dash's friends pranced over to her, none of them were pegasi except for the light yellow mare in the back.

"That was super-duper awesome, Dashie!"

A pink earth pony hopped forward, practically vibrating in excitement. Soarin' looked the mare over, eyes wide. He wasn't sure why, but this little pink bubbly mare made his heart skip.

"Thanks Pinkie Pie!"

Pinkie Pie. Dear Celestia, if there ever was a thing as love at first sight.

Soarin' decided right then and there, that Pinkie Pie would be his.

It's a little while later until he sees her again. He's at the Grand Galloping Gala, when he sees one of her friends. A country earth pony selling some food. Soarin' quickly scans the crowd around him, looking for Pinkie Pie, but she's nowhere in sight. Sighing, he buys some food and trots off, hoping to run into the pink mare at some point. He runs into Spitfire instead.

Then another one of the mares from the group of girls shows up. Dashing Rainbow, or something like that.

Soarin' spends almost the entire night looking for Pinkie Pie. It was around 10 o'clock, when he's hanging out on the stairs outside, that he sees her. Pinkie Pie and her friends are rushing down the stairs, Pinkie herself is being dragged by a white unicorn. Soarin' stands as they come closer.

"Uh, hi! You must be Pinkie Pie-"

Soarin' is cut off as the group of mares rush past him, not even glancing at him. The Wounderbolt sighed as he sat back down.

"I'm, uh. I'm Soarin'. It's nice to meet you."

There's nopony around to hear him.

He catches a glimpse of her in Canterlot, just after the defeat of Discord. The Wounderbolts and himself are headed to talk to the Princess, when he sees her with the demi-goddess of the sun. Pinkie looks a little dirty and tired, but still happy. Her smile is wide as she nods her head in agreement with the Princess. Around her neck is a collar of gold, a large diamond shaped like her cutie mark in the center.

An element.

An Element of Harmony.

Pinkie Pie is an Element of Harmony

Soarin' feels like he might die if he can't have her. He needs her.

And he will have her.
