The Wonderbolt and the Music Mares

Chapter 6: The Day

About two weeks later, Soarin woke up in a bed with the sun in his eyes.  He then quickly closes his eyes and rolls to one side and sees Octaiva sleeping next to him.  He smiles and pushes some of her mane out of her face gently and he can see her eyes clearly and says "How was your sleep beutiful?"

Octavia then puts one of hooves to Soarin's cheeck and says "I slept fine handsome."

Both of them then lean in close and kissed each other on the lips.  Octavia then says "Tomorrow is the big day."

Soarin then sighs and says "Yeah, and I have an entire day of trainning today."

Octavia giggles and Soarin says "Whats so funny?"

"I just realized, we been sleeping together and no other pony knows about it."

"I think we should keep it that way."

They then kiss again and Octavia then gets out of bed and says "I agree, and it will all be worth it when you win."

So then after Octavia left, Soarin went outside and continue on with his training.

After a few hours, Spitfire flew up to Soarin and says "Hey there Soarin, how is training coming along?"

"Fine Spitfire, just fine."

"Well if you must know, this match is in the Ponyville park and it is already ready."

Another grunt is heard from Soarin when he said "That sounds fine."

"And if you must know, seems like Blueblood has all of Canterlot supporting him."

"What!  How is that possible?"

"Don't know.  But don't worry about it, you have Ponyville AND Cloudsdale on your side."

Soarin can't believe what he is hearing, all the match is going to be a small one but seems like Blueblood turned it into something bigger.  He then all of a suddenly went a bit more faster on the plow and continue on with his training.

(**)

It is now near evening and Soarin can't believe that today was the last day of training.  So he laid down into bed but before he could go to sleep, the door opens and walked in Vinyl and she says "Hey Soarin, glad I caught you before you hit the hay."

"Do you need something Vinyl?"

"Well yes, you see I know you are sleeping with my sister."

Soarin then shoots up in bed and says "How do you know?"

"Soarin, she is pregnant."

Soarin couldn't believe his ears.  Octavia, the love of his life pregnant.  He sat there in shock until Vinyl says "Hey Soarin, I have nothing against you about it, unless you lose then there might be a problem."

Soarin got out of his shock and says "How did you find out?"

"Hey if you must know, me and Blue had a romantic night one day and well, we made out at the end and, I'm pregnant also."

"For how long?" said Soarin

"About a week and well I also saw Octavia come into the hospital when I was in there for a checkup, in some shades and a hat and a gown of some kind.  Even I can tell she is in disguise so I put two and two together."

"Please Vinyl, don't tell any other pony please."

"Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." she said while doing some motions

Soarin was confused when Vinyl says "That is a Pinkie Promise.  Whenever a pony makes a promise like that, they are expected to keep it or something bed would happen like losing a friend."

"FOREVER!" yelled Pinkie Pie right outside the door but then vanishes without a trace.

Soarin was surprised by it and says "Well, I guess that settles that."

"I guess it does so goodnight Soarin."

"Goodnight Vinyl."

So after Vinyl left, Soarin then layed back down in bed and fell asleep on the spot.

(**)

The next day, Soarin woke up and the sun was just over the horizon.  He then gets up and head on downstairs when he sees the Apple family at the tale.  "Good morning everypony."

Caramel looks up and says "Hey there Soarin, slept well?"

"Yeah."

He then sat down at the table and Applejack hoofs him a plate full of pancakes.  He then eats them and after he was done Applebloom comes in and says "Granny, there seems to be a crowd of ponies outside."

Everypony that is there then went to the window and true to her word there is a crowd of ponies outside.  Even Rainbow Dash and Big Mac is out there with some bags and look like they just got back.  When Soarin went outside one of the ponies cried out "Look! There he is!"

All of a sudden cheers could be heard like "Go Soarin, show that prince whose boss!"

"Go Soarin go!"

"Soarin, you can beat him!"

There is even a banner that Soarin notices that has his name on it being held by two pegasi one on each end.  He then smiles and waves and when he did that, all the ponies then cheered louder then before.  He then went towards the gate and the ponies made a pathway towards Ponyville.

After some time, and many ponies followed him he finally arrived at the park and what he sees surprised him.  There seem to be a stadium just appeared out of nowhere and ponies from all over are entering.  When he is walking towards an enterence, somepony shouted "Hey Soarin."

He then turns towards the voice and sees that it is Caramel and with him is Thunderlane, Blue Noteworthy and Big Mac.  He goes up to them and says "Hi there, what are you four doing here?"

"Follow us, we are to go prep you up for the fight." said Blue

"Eeyup." said Mac

So he then followed all of them and they lead him to a locker room.  He tehn sat on a table and Thunderlane pulled up a chair and sat down in it and said "So then Soarin, here are some pointers that may be helpful: First Blueblood may be bigger and stronger but you need to use your speed and brains to take him down, secondly he may have a longer reach then you so you need to get in close and pull off some counters and combos to take him down, and thirdly seems like his chest area is like steel so aim for the head that is your best bet."

Soarin is taking all of this in while Big Mac is rubbing his shoulders to get him to be less tense.  Caramel then comes in and says "And another thing, watch out for his straight on punches from what I heard those are his strongest."

Before he could say anything else, Soarin felt this tug and when he looked down he sees a belt tying down his wings and he sees Blue putting it on.  He the said "There we go, you're ready as you can be."

Soarin then says "How many rounds are we going?"

"Well," said Thunderlane "we will be going ten five minute rounds."

After he is all ready, they then went out into the ring and a pony whom Soarin regonizes as that one pegasus announcer pony whom he remembers as Madden.

The pegasus the brout a microphone near him and he says "Welcome everypony of all types!  We bring you here for the first ever duel that had not happened for over a thousand years."

There was more cheering and the pony continued saying "Now, at the red corner, he is the niece of both pricess Celestia and Luna, he traveled many miles to be here to fight for the mare he loves.  Give a hoof for, Prince Blueblood."

Blueblood then stepped into the ring even though there are many booings and very few cheers.

Then the pony said "Now at the blue corner, He is fast as lighting, as graceful as a cloud.  You know him and love him and he is here fighting for the same mare.  Give it up for Soarin the Wonderbolt!"

Soarin then steps onto the ring amonst many cheering and clopping of hooves and many ponies shouting his name.  Soarin could only smile and wave to many of his fans.

Both Blueblood and Soarin then comes into the ring and the ref there says "Alright ponies, you know the rules no magic, no wings and no low blows.  Let's have a clean fight."

Soarin and Blueblood then looks into each other eyes with hatred and Soarin hears Blueblood say "I will break you."

Soarin then says "You can try."

Both of them then went to there corners and are waiting for the bell to ring.  There was silence for a minute until the sound that everypony is waiting for is heard

"BING!"
