A Dash of Faithby joshibirdy37ChaptersHumble BeginningsWhat Lies AheadHigh ExpectationsHumble BeginningsA Dash of Faith Hey readers. This is my first fanfic so don't be TOO critical... I aim to entertain! Leave a comment to say what you think or what you think i need to work on. :D Thank you for your time! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dash had always wanted to join the Wonder bolts; but not always for the most professional of reasons. I don’t need to see you to love you I only need to know you’re there; I don’t need to feel you To have you touch my heart I only need to know you care Rainbow Dash woke up to the sunshine blinding her, the weather still being warm since her previous cloud clear up yesterday. “wha...? Morning already?” Dash said grudgingly as she sat up on her large bed made from the finest cloud in Equestria. She slowly got to her hooves and plodded along to her window, still half asleep she stuck her head out the window to take a good look at the sky to see how heavy her workload would be today. There was a white swirl in the distance hovering over Ponyville. “Aww man, what does it take to get an easy day’s work around here?!” Her attitude damped by the very bright awaking earlier. “I know I’m the toughest Pegasus around but come on not even a day’s rest every now and again... well at least I might see him...” Dash launched out the window towards Ponyville not looking forward to her more than heavy workload. *Knock* *knock* “Soarin, Soarin! Get your lazy flank up! You’ve slept in again! A slightly annoyed, familiar voice called out beyond Soarin’s door. Soarin awoke abruptly; a bit annoyed due to the rude awakening. “I’m up! I’m up Spitfire! I’ll meet you there in 10 minutes go ahead!” He said loudly as he pulled his bed cover above his head. “You better be!” She replied hesitant if he was telling the truth. Soarin had been training with Spitfire for the past two weeks on a field close to Sweet apple acres in preparation for one of the Wonder Bolts performances, and has been regretting agreeing on the time of practice lately... Being a Wonder Bolt, Soarin is quite busy with not a lot of time to himself but to keep this time to himself he has had to squeeze in practice in the early hours of the day. “Oh for goodness sake... I can’t keep this up! I’m a wreck! He said sad that he wasn’t as durable as he thought. “Stop it Soarin! Don’t be such a foal! Anypony could do this!” He spoke in a reassuring manner giving him the strength to burst out his apartment’s window to meet Spitfire. He was aiming to get there before her as a bit of pride boost for the day. He whizzed of into the sky with a smirk on his face as he saw Spitfire flutter beneath him as he made his way to Sweet apple acres. As Dash blasted past Sweet apple acres on route to Ponyville she noticed a blue fuzz in the corner of her vision, she slowed down and the blur began to clarify. “Is that... It is!” Rainbow swerved in to a nearby bush as not be noticed by the blue Pegasus, he seemed to be waiting for someone. Suddenly a yellow figure landed near him. “Well some ones had a change of heart!” Spitfire said in a cheery voice. “If something has to be done might as well do it with a smile” Rainbow smiled at this, she never noticed how optimistic Soarin was. "Now Soarin, i know your having trouble with this routine but we have to keep it up if we want to ace this upcoming performance, how else do you think we got this reputation! not to mention princess Celestia will be there, we can't afford any mess ups, especially after that best young fliers competition..." Soarin almost forgot how the wonderbolts were almost the underbolts after trying to save an audacious white unicorn from falling to her death, only to be saved by a particular rainbow coloured Pegasus. If it wasn't for the daze of the event of his crippling embarrassment he would have asked for the pretty mares name and maybe even number, who knows. "Oh yeah, we were saved by that nice girl..." Spitfire thought nothing of this common adjective, however, Dash was almost liquidated by that time spitfire began speaking again. "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh, he said I was nice!" Rainbow squealed a little bit too loudly. Spifire heard a excited rustling noise in a bush near behind Soarin “Hold on... Is that.... a rainbow tail coming out of that bush?” She said quizzing yet nervous as to who would want to eaves drop on them. Soarin’s happy smirk was wiped off and as he came straight out of his daze. The words “rainbow tail” brought back memories of the competition and the mare he was just then so infatuated by. He turned around to see the face of colourful haired mare that was almost as red as his own. So that ends my story for this chapter! This is the product of a long cold night that left me awake and bored, suddenly the idea to write a story came to mind! and what other story to write than one that involved ponies! This is just a little romance story i started up so whatever way this story will progress is up to you guys now, whatever you want to read ill write, I’m doing this for your entertainment! Thanks again for reading! The poem at the beginning belongs to this website http://www.thepoetrypad.com/ I thought it fitted nice with the plot that Rainbow has liked Soarin from afar, since the night at the Grand Galloping Gala to be exact. What Lies AheadHey guys! Tried to get this up as soon as possible, Sorry if it is a bit short i did not have a a lot of time, being Christmas and all... But i hope you like this chapter! i have a good idea on how i am going to continue this... Feel free to give any suggestions on how you think i should continue, i might just do it! ~~~~~~~~~~ “Oh...umm...hey Soarin..howa..how are ya” Rainbow said trying to act like they had not just spotted her eaves dropping “Well hello there...miss...aaa?” Soarin searched his mind for the name of this odd mare but to no avail “Rainbow, Rainbow Dash! The fastest! Most!...” Dash stopped herself once she realized who she was talking to again. “haha sorry...” “Oh I don’t blame you for boasting, I’ve seen you in action, and you can certainly handle yourself in the air!” Rainbows cheeks were now as red as the apples on the trees in the distance. “Yeah... if you two are done, we have practice to get started on” Spitfire spat, less than happy about the mares sudden appearance “oh yeah, sorry Spitfire, If you will excuse us Miss Dash we do have a lot of work to do today, as much as I’d love to stay and chat-” Soarin spoke with some remorse “Oh no! I understand! I was just on my way...” Dash said cutting Soarin off, remembering how she was just then discovered. “Stupid! How weird must he think you are... hiding in bushes like a psycho...” She thought As she turned around and outstretched her wings as to take off she heard something that nearly floored her. “I was going to ask if we could continue this chat later, at Sugar cube corner. Around 6pm?” Rainbow near burst with excitement “I’d love too! *cough* I mean, sure, why not, I’ve nothing better to do...” “Awesome! I’ll be looking forward to this evening Miss Dash” “As will I!” Dash shouted as she flapped her wings and took off. “That could not have gone better!” Rainbow screamed when she got out of earshot. Realizing that it was almost noon and her job was still to be done she hurried off to ponyville to get it done as soon as, that’s if she didn’t want to miss her date with Soarin... wait, was it a date? Dash thought for a moment... of course it was! He asked her to meet her somewhere, alone! All there was to do now was clear up the cloud around ponyville and wait for what she hopes will be the best day of her life. High ExpectationsAlright! no more mister nice pony... time to get down to business In this chapter Dash has a heart to heart with Pinkie over her own self worth Hope you like it, And as always! have fun! Leave a like if you like! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *tick* *tok* *tik* *tok* Rainbow watched the clock intently as it passed the 5 o’clock mark. “Hehe, you sure are nervous Dashie” Pinkie giggled as she stuck a tray of sweet batter in the Sugar cube corners kitchen oven “Haven’t you been on a date before?” She questioned “Of course I have! It’s just been so long since I’ve had a good date...” She lowered her voice “Come to think of it... it’s been so long since I’ve even had a date at all...” Pinkie stopped her baking process and looked at Dash “Why do you think that is Dashie?” Genuinely looking concerned for her friends feelings “I don’t know... I guess I scare guys away with my huge ego... who would love a blowhard anyway...” Rainbow sunk her head and looked at the floor “Come on Dashie, we all have character traits, some more likable than the others but they are all the things that make you, you, and we love you. I’m sure your new date will too!” Pinkie had a way with words that could make anyone feel good about themselves, but not this time. “Thanks pinkie but... am I worth it? Am I actually worth being loved? I’ve never been in a relationship that lasted, who is to say that this one will... if it even gets to that stage that is!” Rainbow seemed desolate, a sight that was foreign to Pinkie Pie and a sight that she wanted to change. “Rainbow, there can’t even be an end if there isn’t a start, Say you didn’t get up today and stayed in bed like you wanted, you wouldn’t even be getting ready for a date in an hour! If you don’t get out there you’ll never know what lies ahead!” This sentiment made Dash look up at Pinkie, who was standing in front of her holding a mirror. She had walked over to Dash while she was talking and took her hair out of her eyes and tied it into a ponytail and then picked up a mirror and held it in front of her. “Who is this?” Pinkie asked with all seriousness Rainbow wasn’t in the mood for games “Pinkie thanks and all but I don’t need-“ “I said... who is this?” Pinkie held her determined facial expression “It’s me...” Rainbow replied as if she couldn’t care less “Whos me?” The Pink mare demanded “Rainbow Dash...” Rainbow humored her Pinkie started speaking quite assertively, like a sports coach would to their team before a big game “Yes you are, and the last time I checked Rainbow Dash was a beautiful mare that wore a smile on her face and took each day as it came; now I don’t know what you’ve done with her but can she come back?” Rainbow smiled and held back a tear “Because she has a date in 30 minutes and I know she'd want to look her best!” Rainbow found her confidence once more and stood up looking as determined as ever “Come on Pinkie, we’ve got some styling to do!” Pinkie looked a bit embarrassed “Umm... you go ahead Dash, i've got an oven to turn off...” She hurried over to the oven which had a large ploom of smoke hanging over it. She opened the oven and lifted the Smokey tray out with some pink oven gloves. “Guess these cupcakes are a bit overdone...” She said quite sadly as she looked at the charred remains of her once tasty batter ___________________________________________________________________________ The next thirty minutes were a blur. A pink blur actually. Pinkie was running around her room trying to find various items to make Rainbow as presentable as possible. “Pinkie come on, there’s not a lot of time left! Can I please open my eyes now...” Rainbow was becoming impatient as time was beginning to run out “Yeah yeah yeah, I’m almost done... Alright... Look!” Pinkie yelled excitedly, her grin was from ear to ear Although Pinkie was a pastry chef who only dressed baked goods for a living she also could dress hair amazingly as well (how do you think she kept her mane the way she did!). Rainbows expression said it all. It was beautiful. A style even Rarity would envy. Her normally unkempt wavy mane was smooth and neat. The back of her mane was tied in a ponytail that displayed all of the colours her hair had to offer. Casual, yet elegant “Don’t mind me saying this Rainbow but you look absolutely.... DASHING!” Pinkie burst into hysterics, she certainly knew how to make herself laugh. Rainbows look of amazement turned to one of horror as she heard Sugar cube corners walk in door bell ring. “Hes here...”
