A Certain Romance

Alone, Together

Life always had its curveballs, but one thing was for certain: the weather in Ponyville was always fantastic. When it was sunny, it was sublime and not a degree too hot or too cold. When it rained, the storm was never violent. Ponyville must’ve been under some sort of spell to provide such perfect weather. Well, at least that’s what Soarin thought. He had only been in Ponvyille a little over 48 hours, so he didn’t really experience the climate of the town, but he didn’t believe he ever would if the weather was consistently superb. However, if there was one thing Soarin could mention about the weather, it would be how perfect it is for flying. Luckily for him, he would be racing Rainbow Dash in a few minutes.

Earlier that morning, Dash had challenged him to a race, mostly to prove herself against one of the Wonderbolts’ best. Like most pegasi, Soarin knew about Dash’s speed, mostly because he experienced it firsthand. After all, she hadn’t only rescued him from falling to his death, but rescued his pie at the Grand Galloping Gala from suffering the same fate. If Dash hadn’t reminded him about all the times they’ve ran into each other, Soarin would’ve never remembered them. He remembered her saving his pie, but he didn’t quite understand how he could forget about how her saving his life. Frankly, Soarin didn’t really care, so he just shrugged it off. A race with Rainbow Dash was what was on the professional flyer’s mind. Both he and Dash returned to the room to get freshened up and ready for what would become an eventful day. Soain insisted on Dash using the shower first, since she was his guest. The act of chivalry warmed Dash’s heart. Some might say that chivalry was dead, but Soarin proved those critics wrong. Dash wasn’t complaining about it at all; she wanted it to occur more often! After the two had finished straightening themselves up, Soarin asked Dash about the challenge she had made.

“So Miss Dash, are you still up for that race?” Soarin said with a smirk on his face.

“Ha! You should be asking yourself if YOU’RE up for that race!” Rainbow chaffed at Soarin, “I am the fattest flyer in Equestria!”

Soarin chuckled lightly to himself.

“What are you giggling at?” Dash investigated.

“Oh, nothing at all,” Soarin said as he had to smile at Dash’s obliviousness to her word choice, “Just thinking about the FASTEST flyer in Equestria becoming the slowest!”

“As if! Come on, let’s get going! I’ll take you to my favorite flying spot in Ponyville,” Dash said as she grasped Soarin’s wrist and guided him out of the hotel room.

Dash led, or flew, Soarin through the streets of Ponyville, gripping his hoof the whole way. Most of the faces that Soarin saw, he barely recognized from the party. Nonetheless, they all had smiles on their faces while they waved to him and Rainbow Dash. Soarin loved the friendliness of Ponyville. The pegasi of Cloudsdale were nice, but incomparable to these ponies; Dash’s voice would save himself from even thinking about Canterlot’s sociability.

“It isn’t that much farther; probably five more minutes. Trust me, it’s a really awesome pla-WOAH!”

Dash had made contact with something else in the air and she fell to the ground, but broke her fall with Soarin’s head. As Soarin groaned while lying prone on the ground, Dash’s butt landed right on his face and her chin hit his back; the butt probably hurt him more though. Quickly, Dash lifted herself off of Soarin and rubbed her behind. Soarin was relieved, until a heavy bag took the place of Dash’s rear. When Soarin removed the bag off his snout, he noticed that it was filled with letters.

“Hey, why don’t you look where you’re going?” Dash protested.

A gray pegasus mare floated down to the ground to meet Dash and Soarin. She had a blonde mane and, as Soarin and many other ponies noticed, a pair of crossed eyes.

“I’m so sorry, Dash!” the pegasus apologized, “I was too busy looking at the address of this letter that I didn’t see where I was going!” She showed Dash the letter as proof.

“It’s okay, Derpy,” Dash said pushing away the letter, “just try to be a little bit more careful next time, okay?”

“You betcha, Rainbow Dash! I’ll be extra careful next time!” The googly eyed pegasus said, “I’ll see you around, Dash!”

“Alright! See ya, Derpy!” Dash waved as the mailpony departed.
Soarin lifted himself off the ground quick enough to grab Derpy’s bag.

“Miss! You left your bag!” Soarin alerted Derpy.

The ditzy pegasus turned around and rushed to retrieve her bag. Her hand was soft as it met Soarin’s.

“Whoops! Thanks, mister! I have to deliver all these letters by noon!”

“Well, you better get going then! Every mail service should be speedy and efficient,” Soarin said.

“You bet! I gotta get going! Bye, Mr. Dash’s boyfriend!”

Soarin’s eyes shot wide at Derpy’s comment. He wasn’t Dash’s boyfriend, was he? He did say that he loved her this morning, but was that truly legitimate? He spun around to ask Dash what she had meant about that, but Dash was already ahead of him.

“Don’t mind her, that’s just Derpy. She’s a little silly, but she means well.”

“She seems like a nice mare; friendly like every other pony around here.”

“Yeah, but sometimes ponies get aggravated at her. Occasionally, she’ll deliver a letter to the wrong pony. Other times she may even damage town property!”

“Every mailpony makes a mistake once in a while; it’s nothing to get all bent up about. Not sure I can say the same for the latter though, but every town needs something to keep it on its toes.”

“I suppose you’re right,” Dash said, “Anyways, we better get moving. I can’t wait to see the look on your face once I bet you at what you do best!”

Soarin followed after Dash with a smile on his face. An intense race may do Soarin some good and he knew Dash wouldn’t fail in that department. In about five minutes, Soarin and Dash were in the middle of a wide open field with a few trees scattered throughout. Off to the distance on one side of the field was an entrance to a forest that looked a bit foreboding. The whole scene looked like something out of a painting. Soarin thought it was actually very beautiful.

“This is my favorite place to practice my stunts. Nopony really comes around here, so I can get some good Dash time. It’s a great place to relax when I’m done too,” Dash said.

“It is pretty serene. Most pegasi don’t know this but a peaceful location can actually make you a better flyer! Along with-”

“YES! This place just got even more awesome! I have to be the best flyer in Equestria now!” Rainbow Dash while shooting into the air and effectively cutting off Soarin’s sentence.

“ALONG WITH staying levelheaded,” Soarin said pulling Dash back down to earth, both physically and mentally.

A hint of red appeared on Dash’s face as she chuckled and rubbed her head. “Yeah, heh, I guess I do have a bit of an ego.”

“There’s nothing wrong with having an ego,” Soarin assured her. “Just don’t mistake it for excessive pride. I’ve been part of the Wonderbolts for a while and I’ve lost count of how many ponies couldn’t get through the academy because of how high they viewed themselves. If you want to be a Wonderbolt, remain humble. Let your flying do the talking.”

All Dash could do was agree. Soarin knew firsthand of what it takes to make it through the academy and become a Wonderbolt. She hoped he would give her a few more tips that prepare her mentally, after their race of course.

“Well, should I let my flying to the talking right now? This race is still happening!” Dash pointed out.

“It would be a perfect time, wouldn’t it?” Soarin laughed. “I just hope you’re ready for it!”

Dash gave Soarin a look that said it all. Confidence, determination, and intensity. Soarin, for the first time in years, actually felt intimidated. A competitive smile spread across Dash’s face.

“We’ll race to that cloud waaaaay over there,” Dash said pointing to a barely noticeable cloud. Soarin had to squint to even get close to noticing the makeshift finish line.

“Okay, seems pretty simple,” Soarin said as he did a few quick stretches and positioned himself for the start of the race.

Dash did the same and looked over at Soarin. Soarin looked back and gave a mischievous smile. Dash gave him a parallel look as she stretched back, ready to burst into the sky at any moment.

“Ready,” said Dash while unfurling her wings.

“Set,” Soarin added as he stretched his legs back to give him an extra push.

For a good five seconds, neither pony said a word. They looked straight into each other’s eyes, attempting to gain an edge in the pre-race mind games.

“GO!” The two pegasi said together as they burst from the ground with unbelievable speed, blowing the leaves and loose grass around them off in every direction. Soarin’s take off was much better than Dash’s, but her technique wasn’t far off. Thanks to his skills, he had an early lead, but his opponent wasn’t far behind. One of the most basic rules of racing was to never look behind you, but Soarin must’ve forgotten it because he did exactly that. He took a quick glance over his shoulder to see Dash approach him at a tremendous speed. Within seconds, she had flown past him.

“I’ll save you a spot on the cloud!” Dash jeered.

Soarin growled to himself and pushed himself further. There was no doubt about it, Rainbow Dash was extremely fast; one of the fastest flyers Soarin had ever seen to be precise. However, ponies would say the same thing about Soarin and he needed to prove that he deserved the praise. He beat his wings faster in an effort to catch up on Rainbow Dash, who was gradually gaining a substantial lead. Unfortunately for Dash, Soarin caught up to her quickly and was now neck and neck with her, successfully taking away her lead. She looked towards the cloud that was still quite a distance away and tried even harder to increase her speed. With every inch she gained, Soarin stole back. Dash had never flown against a pegasus as fast as Soarin. The fastest creature she had ever raced against Gilda, and even then that wasn’t much a comparison. Soarin’s abilities were on a whole new level and it pushed Dash even further. Soarin saw that Dash was pulling away and he too flew with more intensity. Both pegasi sped past several clouds, trying desperately to reach one in particular. With each beat of their wings, Soarin and Rainbow Dash enclosed in on the destination with undefinable speeds. It had to have been one of the most intense races both parties had ever been involved in; both were having the time of their lives. For Rainbow Dash, it wasn’t every day that she got to race an actual Wonderbolt and, for Soarin, it was one of the first times in he didn’t know how long that he got to race for the pure fun of it. He didn’t have to worry about making sure his timing when attempting a stunt, being consistent, or taking several other ponies around him into account. The race reminded him of why he loved flying: the freedom. Nothing could come close to the feeling of soaring through the open skies and riding the wind. Dash was making Soarin feel like he was flying through the skies for the first time in his life. When Soarin’s mind came back the race, he and Dash were inches away from the cloud, neither one of them giving a centimeter away. A camera would’ve been needed to see how touched the cloud first.

“HA! How’s it feel to lose?” Dash teased, wiping sweat from her brow.

“I think we both touched the cloud at the same time, Dash,” Soarin said as he let out a deep sigh.

“Are you kidding me!? I totally got here before you!”

“We were neck and neck the whole race!”

“You’re probably right. That was one hell of race! I’ve never faced that kind of competition before!”

“I know! I haven’t felt that alive in I don’t know how many years. It just felt, so…amazing! You have no idea how thankful I am, Dash!”

“Heh, it’s no big deal, really.”

“No, it is a big deal! I’ve been so busy in the past few months that I started to forget why I wanted to join the Wonderbolts in the first place! I started to forget about my love of flying; the freedom of it all. You reminded me, Dash,” Soarin grabbed both of Dash’s wrists. “You’ve done more for me than any other pony I’ve ever met.”

Dash started to blush. Soarin’s gratitude towards her was flattering but also incredibly sweet. She wasn’t a Rarity, but there was something about a stallion pouring his heart and soul out to her that really touched her. Not to mention that Soarin’s body looked even better when covered in sweat. If you asked Soarin, Dash didn’t look half bad sweaty either. Both ponies, exhausted after an intense race, looked in each other’s attractive eyes. The two leaned each other’s heads in until their lips touched. The kiss wasn’t the first they had shared, but it felt like it was. Romantic wouldn’t necessarily be the word to describe the night before, but it would fit the context of the day’s events. Something lived in that kiss that gave it meaning. Like the kiss they had shared that morning, all they could taste was romace. For a good solid minute, their lips stayed fixed in their current position like soldiers standing at attention. It wasn’t until they received their next order that they managed to move again. Soarin pulled away first and placed his hands on the sides of Rainbow Dash’s face. Her cheeks were soft and smooth. Soarin’s hands were glued to them.

“Dash, you’re the greatest pony I’ve ever met. I said it this morning, but I really do love you. That, I promise you, is not a lie.”

Dash gazed back at Soarin, noticing the look he had in his eyes. It was a look that filled with truth, affection, and regret.

“Soarin, I-gosh, is this even real?”

Soarin leaned in for another kiss that Dash couldn’t turn down. Again, they shared a powerful kiss. This time, however, Dash showed a bit of her dominance and pushed her tongue past the lips of Soarin. He didn’t object and moved his tongue a bit further as well. When they performed the same act several hours ago, the two only enjoyed it for the sexual thrill. Now, it was the thrill of love that took over. Dash was also the first to pull away from the kiss.

“You know, I’ve always had a crush on you. I’m sure you hear that a lot, but mine was sincere. You don’t know how many times I’ve fantasized about this…and now it’s actually happening! Hell, I didn’t have a crush; I was completely in love with you!” Dash exclaimed.

Soarin couldn’t take his eyes off her body. In his mind, she had the perfect body. He couldn’t find one fault with her. He was truly stunned by her beauty. Soarin caressed her body as he dove in for yet another kiss. Dash let out soft moans from the feeling of Soarin touching her. She couldn’t help but fall onto the cloud as Soarin’s touches didn’t let up. One hand would run along legs as he pecked at Dash. It was paradise. Nopony had ever touched Dash the Soarin was. Soon enough, one of Soarin’s hands had found its way to her breasts and lightly grabbed it. Slowly, Soarin moved his hand around while joining Dash in another kiss. His lips against hers muffled her marvelous moans. Soarin’s only free hand then traveled to Dash’s lower body. He ran it up and down her leg wanting to feel every muscle in her muscular body. Eventually, Soarin’s hand rubbed Dash’s inner thigh. Yet another moan escaped Dash, which caused Soarin to smile as his hand continued its journey on Rainbow Dash’s body. Once he had reached the space between her legs, he began to delicately rub the outside of her black athletic shorts. Dash looked up at Soarin with a very pleased look on her face.

“It’s a good thing nopony comes out here, isn’t it?” Soarin teased.

“You have no idea,” Dash said lightly.

Tired of rubbing her shorts, Soarin slipped his hand inside and past Dash’s underwear. His fingers were greeted by a moist feeling. A wide grin immediately spread across Soarin’s face.

“A little excited, huh?”

Dash closed her eyes and grinned. Soarin started to rub her slit gently as Dash groaned. Soarin’s fingers slowly teased Rainbow Dash, which rewarded him with several adorable moans from the light blue pegasus. Tired of teasing, Soarin slipped a finger inside of Dash’s lips that were becoming wetter by the second. The feeling caused Dash to shut her eyes even harder and moan even louder. Delighted by this sight, Soarin started to slip inside Dash a bit faster. Once he was inside, Soarin would feel Dash’s soaking walls. Next to flying, it was one of the greatest feelings Soarin had experienced. Dash’s body reacted with overwhelming beauty. Every so often, her breathing would quicken and she’d raise her hips off the ground while emitting the sexiest of sounds. Soarin’s body also reacted to the situation as his member became harder with every movement and sound that was made by the captivating pony beneath him. After a few more minutes of fingering Rainbow Dash, Soarin dragged his fingers out of pussy and looked down at his erection that was desperately trying to free itself from his pants.

“A little excited, huh?” Dash joked.

“I don’t know who would be after seeing you like that. It was just beautiful,” Soarin replied.

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Dash said seductively.

With a luscious grin, Soarin slipped off his pants that held back his growing erection. Once they were off, Dash got a full view of his 18 inch long cock. Dash barely remembered how big he was from last night, but was certainly impressed.

“Wow…how do you fly with that thing?”

“It’s never erect when I fly, mostly because there isn’t an incredible, sexy pony to please it,” Soarin said while he ran his hand underneath his cock, also slightly impressed at his length.

“Luckily for you, there is now,” Dash giggled.

Soarin spread Dash’s legs to get a perfect view at her soaking pussy. He almost dove in with his tongue, but decided doing the same job with his stallionhood would be much more enjoyable. He pushed his member up against her marehood and glanced back up to Dash’s face. Half-lidded with a smile, she met his eyes as well. It was a look you only see once in a lifetime. Soarin turned his eyes back to what really needed the attention: Dash’s soaking cunt. The horny stallion began to slip his throbbing member inside Dash’s wanting entrance. Immediately, Dash reacted. She arched her back and moaned into the air.

“Ah, you’re so big,” Dash barely got out.

Without a word, Soarin continued to push himself in. Dash’s marehood invited more and more of his cock has he continued to enter her. Once Soarin believed he had enough of his length inside of Rainbow Dash, he began to thrust in and out. The feeling of his thick cock rubbing up against her tight walls drove Rainbow Dash mad. It wasn’t her first time, but it sure did feel like it was. As Soarin pumped in and out of her, Dash’s breathing began to quicken and her walls enclosed around his large pony cock. On the other end, Soarin couldn’t object to the feeling of fucking a tight snatch. However, it couldn’t top the feeling of fucking Rainbow Dash. Whilst pumping in and out of her at a moderate pace, Soarin couldn’t take his eyes off the undoubtedly beautiful mare beneath him. As her sped up, Dash’s eyes would shut and she would let out moans that got louder with every thrust. If he was a weaker stallion, Soarin would’ve came just at the sight before him. Beautiful was the only word he could think of to describe to. Mesmerizing. Enthralling. He would need a whole damn thesaurus to fully describe Rainbow Dash. Before he knew it, Soarin began to drive himself inside of Dash at a quick pace. Dash couldn’t handle it. All the emitted from her was a combination of moans, cries, and gasps. An idea popped into Soarin’s head and he dragged a hand down to Dash’s clit. Soarin cursed himself for not having a camera to capture the look on Dash’s face when she saw his roaming hand. She wouldn’t even dare to think of stopping Soarin. His hand made contact with her slit and started to rub it. Dash shrieked in immense pleasure. She raised herself off the cloud a bit to receive more of Soarin’s length. The combination of Soarin fucking her and rubbing her clit caused Dash to drool and take in the incredible amounts of pleasure she was receiving. Dash couldn’t hold back any longer and gave in, reaching an intense orgasm. It was so powerful that Dash actually squirted juices up onto Soarin’s face, which caused his eyes to shoot open. The incident was the final straw and Soarin, like Dash, couldn’t hold back. With one final, deep push, he released a gush of cum inside of Rainbow Dash, both ponies yelling each other’s names. Quickly, he leaned his head down to meet hers and share a full kiss with his perfect mare. The two moaned inside of each other’s mouths as their orgasms died down. Dash shivered at the feeling of Soarin’s cum filling her up; it was enough to make her collapse in pleasure. Soarin pulled his cock out, which was followed by his seed leaking out of Dash’s marehood. With a heavy sigh, Soarin collapsed on the cloud next to Rainbow Dash.

“That was probably the greatest orgasm I’ve ever had in my life. You're just beyond words, Dashie,” Soarin said as he looked up at the sky that matched Dash’s coat.

Dash scooted in closer next to Soarin and placed a hand on his chest and ran her fingers over his muscles. “I couldn’t agree more. It was so awesome.”

She pecked Soarin on the cheek who then turned her head so they would meet in a full kiss. However, Dash tried desperately to pull away from Soarin’s mouth. Using her strength, she ultimately broke free and looked behind the cloud in awe. Soarin was confused as he didn’t understand what brought about this sudden change in behavior, until he looked behind him. A familiar looking pegasus with a yellow coat and pink mane was hovering behind them with the most surprised of looks.

“Oh my…” the pegasus muttered with a face that was red with blush.

“Uh…hey Fluttershy…what brings you around these parts…” Dash asked embarrassingly.

Well, some explaining would be in order.
