After a wonderful night with Rainbow, Twilight opened her eyes and turned her head, that she could see Rainbow, but was surprised when she saw two hooves sticking from under the blanket. Then Twilight lowered her head and looked at the other end of the bed. There was Rainbows head. She was still asleep, but smiled happily. Twilight got up from the bed and walked where Rainbows head was located.

"I guess you had a rough night" Twilight smiled and nuzzled her muzzle in Rainbows head. Rainbows eyes opened and saw Twilight beside her. Then Twilight gave her a kiss on the forehead and Rainbow smiled for return.

"I wouldn't call it rough" Rainbow said and got up. She planted a small kiss on Twilights lips. They walked downstairs, got the mail in front of the door and went to the kitchen table. They scanned through the mail. Nothing special, just normal news and stuff, but there was one letter that was different than any else.

"What's this" Rainbow said as she picked up the letter and started opening it. Twilight watched as Rainbow opened the letter and something dropped from the letter. A paper with gold edges.

"Interesting. How is the letter meant to?" Twilight said and grabbed the letter from Rainbow Dash. "This is for you" Twilight stated and Rainbow picked the paper from the floor and scanned it quickly. Then suddenly her eyes brightened and she started yelling like a little filly.

"Yes yes yes yes! I won! I won!" Rainbow jumped around and held the paper in her hooves.

"What does that paper say?" Twilight said and tilted her head. Rainbow jumped to Twilight and kissed her.

"I. WON!" Rainbow said as she hugged Twilight tightly.

"You won what?" Twilight said even more confused.

"Do you remember the contest that the Wonderbolt Magazine held last month?" Twilight nods. "I won the grand prize! VIP ticket to the wonderbolt derby and then the rest of the day with Wonderbolts!" Rainbow said and started to laugh and fell on the sofa.

"That's great Dash! When is the event happening?" Twilight said and sat on the sofa, next to Rainbow.

"Tomorrow!" Rainbow said exited.

"Tomorrow? As in tomorrow tomorrow?"

"Yes! Oh gosh! I have to get packing. I don't want to miss this." Rainbow flew upstairs and started packing her stuff. Twilight followed her and helped Rainbow pack. When they finished, Rainbow went to hug Twilight.

"Will you survive here without me?" Rainbow said joking. Twilight smiled and nodded. "And you promise to not to cheat on me?" Rainbow asked and looked Twilight seriously.

"What?! I would neve..." Twilight got interrupted when Rainbow put her hoof in front of Twilights mouth.

"I was just joking. Try to relax when I'm out there, ok?" Twilight hugs Rainbow and then gives her a kiss.

"Remember to come back, will you?"

"Always." Rainbow kissed Twilight back and then walks to bed. "Let's get some sleep." They both go to sleep and start sleeping almost in that instant. Next day they both have walked to the train station and Rainbow is getting in the train.

"See you tonight!" Twilight says as she waves to Rainbow.

"See ya!" Rainbow waved back and the train left. Twilight walks back to the library and starts reading a new book she got yesterday.

{Rainbow}

'I am so exited! The wonderbolts derby! And like that would not be enough, I get to spend the whole day with them. This is going to be so awesome!' Rainbow as the train moved towards Canterlot, where the derby is supposed to happen. When the train arrives at the Canterlot station, there is a pony waiting for Rainbow.

"Are you Rainbow Dash?" The pony asks and is already picking up Rainbows luggage.

"Umm... Yeah." Rainbow says as she starts to walk forwards.

"Follow me. I know, where you have to stay." Rainbow starts following the pony, who takes her to a hotel near the station. When they get to Rainbows room, the pony lowers Rainbows luggage on the rooms floor.

"Here we are. Have a good day!" The pony said and walked out before Rainbow had a change to say bye. Rainbow went to rest on the bed. 'So, what should I do first? The derby is at 4:00 PM. I could go see if I could find something to eat.' Rainbow said and patted her stomach. Rainbow walked out of the door, closed it and walked outside to find some place to eat.

{Twilight}

Twilight has finished her book already and has to find something to do. 'I could do something nice to surprise Rainbow with when she comes back. What could I do to her?' Twilight starts to rub her head. 'Now I know! I will give her a gift! A wonderful gift! Yes. She'll love it.' Twilight thought determinetly and walked out of the library, straight to the jewelery shop.

"Hello! Can I help you?" Twilight turns her head and sees the shop keeper behind the cash register.

"Hey. Do you make custom necklaces?" Twilight said as she walked to the shop keeper.

"Yes. What kind would you like to have?" The shop keeper asks from Twilight, who doesn't really know the answer.

"Umm... Can you make this?" Twilight shows a picture of Rainbows cutie mark. "And can you do it today?" The shop keeper looks at the picture and then at Twilight and then the picture.

"Hmm... I guess I can get it done. It will cost 70 bits. You can pay when the job is done. You can come to get it around 7 o'clock."

"Thank you so much!" Twilight says and runs out of the shop. Twilight looks at the clock. 'Okay. I have three hours before the necklace is ready. now, to Mr. and Mrs. Cake.'

{Rainbow}

It's 4:00 PM and the derby is about to start. The whole event is sold out and everypony is trying to find their places. Rainbow is sitting in the VIP section and having a fun time there, watching other ponies trying to navigate in the crowd. Then suddenly the announce starts. When the announcer has stopped, the countdown starts. 'Here starts the best day ever.' Rainbow thinks as the countdown goes to zero.

{Twilight}

Twilight has reached the cake shop. She sees Pinkie behind the desk.. The pink mare is as full of smile as always.

"Hey Twilight!" Pinkie yells from behind the desk and starts jumping towards Twilight.

"Hello Pinkie. I have something special that I would like you to bake." Twilight says and raises her eyebrow.

"Is this something for Rainbow?" Pinkie asked exited and Twilight nodded for response. Pinkie started to smile more than ever before.

"Can you make this cake?" Twilight said as she showed a picture of two tails spiraled together.

"Of course Twilight!" Pinkie took the photo and ran off to bake the cake. She said that it would be ready around 7 PM.

"Perfect! I'll see you then!" Twilight waved to her friend and ran back home.

{Rainbow}

The derby had just ended and Rainbow was about to walk out of the stadium, when suddenly someone touched her shoulder. Rainbow turned around and saw the fiery maned mare smiling at her.

"Hey! Rainbow Dash was it?" Spitfire said as she guided Rainbow to the limousine.

"Yeah! The one and only!" Rainbow said proudly.

"Okay Rainbow. Would you first come to our camp and we could plan there what you'd like to do?" Spitfire said as they stepped inside the limousine. Rainbow nodded and stepped inside and saw her heroes. 'Oh my gosh oh my gosh! This is sooo the best day EVER!' She thought when Soarin shaked her hoof. The limousine arrived at the camp and they all walked into the building which was so stylish and cool that it made Rainbow speechless. They walked to the room, that looked like some sort of living room, and sat down.

"Well Rainbow, what would you like to do?" Soarin asked as she got some apple pie out of the kitchen. Rainbow didn't actually know, what she should do with them. So she decided to be clever.

"Well, what would you suggest?" Rainbow asked but then realized that it must have sounded stupid.

"It's your special day, so you get to decide." Spitfire stated but then continued. "I guess we could go fly outside and see, where to go." Spitfire suggested and flapped her wings a little. Rainbow got up and started to float.

"Let's go" Rainbow said and then they flied outside.

{Twilight}

Twilight is staring at the clock. 'I can't go yet, i must wait just a little more. If i go now, they'll think that I am hurrying them, but if I go too late, They'l think I don't care. Okay, now I go' Twilight ran out of the door towards the jewelery shop, where the shop keeper was already waiting, when she got in.

"Hello, you came for the necklace?" The shop keeper asked and started searching the desk.

"Yes, is it ready?" Twilight said worried as she saw the shop keeper opening and closing the drawers.

"Yes. Here it is." He said and showed Twilight the necklace. The necklace looked even better than Twilight had expected. She gave the shop keeper 70 bits and ran off to Pinkie. When she arrived there, the shop was empty.

"Pinkie! Are you in there?" Twilight asked worried. But then suddenly she saw a pink mare coming through the door.

"Hey Twilight! The cake is ready. Tadaa!" Pinkie yelled as she showed the cake to Twilight. The cake was perfect.

"Nice work Pinkie! Here is some money for you." Twilight said as she started looking for her bits.

"You don't have to pay. This is a gift from me, okay?" Pinkie said and handed out the box with the cake in it.

"Thank you so much Pinkie!"

"No problem!" Twilight ran out to the library and started preparing for the big surprise.

{Rainbow}

It was getting late and Rainbow was packing her stuff and starting to leave. Spitfire was still up and helped Rainbow to pack. Then suddenly she stops.

"Rainbow, I have something to show you. Come" Spitfire said and started walking down the stairs to the alleyway. Rainbow followed. When they got outside, Spitfire flew up in the sky. Rainbow was still following her. When Rainbow got up there, she saw Spitfire standing and looking at the stars.

"Beautiful scenery. Isn't it?" Spitfire said as she turned to look Rainbow. Rainbow simply nodded and walked to Spitfire.

"Will we see again after this?" Rainbow asked and Spitfire tilted her head a little. "I mean like, like personally." Rainbow said and Spitfire lifted her hoof to Rainbows shoulder.

"I really hope so. I really do" Spitfire started staring at the ground. Rainbow noticed this and got a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow said and lifted Spitfires head.

"Can you stay a little longer? I can't get sleep and I could use some company." Spitfire asked with a hopeful voice.

"Maybe i could stay a little longer" Rainbow said and sat down.

{Twilight}

'Where is she, she should have been here an hour ago. I hope she is not hurt.' Twilight walked around the library and was really worried about Rainbow. 'I can't take this anymore. I will go check' She thought and teleported to Canterlot station and started making her way to the Wonderbolts camp.

{Rainbow}

Spitfire and Rainbow had been talking a while now. Rainbow saw the clock tower and jumped up.

"I've should have been home an hour ago!" She flew down to the earth and Spitfire followed.

"Wait!" Spitfire yelled to Rainbow. "I have to do something first. Can you do it for me?" Spitfire said and Rainbow stopped.

"What?" Rainbow asked confused.

"Umm.. Could you? Or maybe I just should... Oh buck it! Here it goes." Spitfire grabbed Rainbow and kissed her on the lips. Rainbow wanted to stop it, but she couldn't. Then suddenly they heard something drop. Rainbow turned her head and saw, what dropped. A tear. Twilight's tear, when she ran away. Crying. Rainbow tried to fly after her, but Twilight had already teleported away. Spitfire looked at Rainbow and then realized what she had done.

"I'm so sorry..." Spitfire said as Rainbow walked past her. Rainbow didn't react. She picked up her stuff and flew away. Towards Ponyville.
