Chapter 4: Soarin's POV

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Walking out of the jewelry store with a newly bought necklace. After 5 weeks with Rainbow and Dashie, I'm going to marry Rainbow Dash. It's the thing to do. I love her, she loves me, we even have a child together, so, this is what I'm going to do, and I know how I'm going to do it.

It'll be after the next Wonderbolt Derby. After the winner had been declared, I would ask the announcer if I could say some words to the winner, or audience, depending on if I win or loose. And then I'll ask Rainbow Dash to fly up, and I'll ask her right there.

Perfect. It's all perfect. I smile as I fly to my house, and prepare for the Derby, humming to myself as I get ready. I fly up to Rainbow's house, making sure the necklace was still secure. She opens the door, hugs me, and I hug her back. "Hey, beautiful!" I say as I let go of her.

"Hello, handsome!" She says back. She steps aside, allowing me to enter. So, I got you two tickets to the derby! Front row seats!" I say, and hand her the tickets. "Thanks, honey!" She says. "You're welcome, Rainbow." I say. "Well, I'll see you there!" I say, and run out, and fly off towards the derby.

At the Derby,we open up with some fancy flying tricks, and as we finish off, fireworks erupt from behind us, and the crowd cheers with such energy, they know this Derby's good. "Hello, and welcome to the 6th annual Wonderbolt Derby!" The announcer says, causing the crowd to cheer and stomp again.

"Today, your favorite Wonderbolts will race over 100 laps to see who's the fastest!" The crowd cheers yet again. "So, with that said, let's get the derby GOING!" The crowd cheers, again, as the other Wonderbolts and I line up at the starting line.

"Ready?"

We all get in our starting positions.

"Get set!"

Its all quite as the anticipation builds up.

"GO!"

We bolt from the starting line, Spitfire takes first place, me following close behind! Fleetfoot is in last, but starts gaining up on me, so I pick up the pace a little! I rocket past Spitfire, surprising her, causing her to stop in mid air, letting Fleetfoot take second.

As I go around the track, I look for Rainbow and Dashie, but I don't see them right away. After two or so more laps, I eventually spot them in the front row, and wave to them as I pass. Eventually, we pass the 50 lap mark, and Spitfire starts to slow down a little. come to think of it, so does Fleetfoot, and myself. "Wow... I'm getting... tired..."

I don't know why I'm so tired. I got plenty of sleep, ate a good breakfast, I don't know why this is happening, nut I push my wings as fast as they can go. "Come... on..." I say. the G-force is getting pretty heavy, so I can tell I'm about to cause a Sonic Boom.

The sound blasts as I rocket through the track, finishing a whole 20 laps before Fleetfoot, who was in second place. "Ladies and Gentle-colts, we have a WINNER!" The colt on the intercom says, and the crowd cheers again. I land on the nearest patch of cloud in the stadium to catch my breath.

I fly up to the commentary box to ask if I could say a few words. "Ladies and Gentle-Colts, Soarin' the winner wants to say something!" He hands to mic to me. "Well, truth is, I didn't think that I would say this to this mare..." I pause for a second.

"Rainbow Dash? Will you come up here, please?" Rainbow hands Dashie to Fluttershy, who is sitting nearby, and flies up. "Rainbow, the time that I have spent with you has been amazing, so I can think of no other way to make my life even better with you in it."

I pull out the necklace, and say the words. "Rainbow Dash, will you Marry me?"
