Chapter Two: The Feelings We Have

I followed closely behind Spitfire, taking a look around Equestria as we flew. Oh Celestia the view was great; it was a cloudless sky, the birds singing, and sweet scent of summer. I then looked ahead, seeing the Wonderbolt stadium coming into vision.

“Is this my surprise?” I asked curiously, looking at her, seeing her mane dance in the gentle breeze.

“Part of it.” She smiled warmly and flew a bit faster. Me being me, I kept close to her.

“I’m always like this around mares.” I thought to myself, “very clingy.” I then placed my hoof on my chin as we flew together. “Well, I’m only clingy to Spitfire that is.”

“Tornado, are you okay?” I saw her come up to my face, asking with a sweet, soft tone.

I managed to come to my senses. “Oh yeah, I’m fine thanks.” I nodded, I then smiled at Spitfire.

“Well come on, you’re falling behind.” She giggled and then began flying again. I then followed, still day dreaming about that beautiful mare in front of me. Not only did she look beautiful, but her personality was beautiful too she isn’t always how she is in the academy, she only wants the best for the trainees.

“So how’s the academy coming along?” I asked randomly, looking at her.

“It’s going great, it’s such a shame that I have to be strict there.” She admitted. “But I only want what’s best for them.”

“I understand Spitfire, completely.” I had a feeling she would say that, so I was prepared to say what I just said.

“Thank you Tornado, I mean what’s the point of going easy on them if they don’t get their work done?” Spitfire asked, landing down onto a cloud near the stadium.

“There’s no point at all, if you have to be harsh do it.” I chuckled softly, walking with her on the cloud.

“Well, I need to get changed.” Spitfire spoke, as we reached the Wonderbolt changing rooms. “Wait in the stadium.” She trotted into the mare changing room.

I began to fly over and into the stadium; I sat down in the best possible seat and waited Spitfire to come out.

“I can already tell what she’s doing.” I thought to myself, looking around. “But I’m still excited, since it’s just me and her. Whatever she’s about to show me is only going to be shown to me.”

Spitfire came out in her Wonderbolt outfit and flew up to me. “Hey there!” She smiled and giggled. “How do I look?”

“Beautiful.” I said staring at her and then shaking my head with a blush. “Uh-I mean awesome!” I quickly nodded, trying to relax.

Spitfire’s cheeks fired up with a red blush. “W-well thank you.” She then went down onto the course below. She got herself ready at the start line and prepared herself. “Count me down!” She yelled.

“Will do!” I responded, “okay, three, two, one…GO!”

She darted off around the track, going faster than usual but at some points, she wasn’t even on the track and she even looped sometimes. She began to trail fire and then came up and did a helix around the stadium, trailing a beautiful dancing fire.

I began to cheer for her, jumping up and down. She went under the track and then back up, now with the fire trail as long as a long train. Once she finished she extinguished the fire, with an epic tail flick.

“That was awesome!” I yelled, clapping my hooves. Spitfire took a bow as she hovered above me.

“Thank you.” She giggled and flew back down to sit next to me. “I need a rest that was very tiring.” She sat down next to me, brushing her beautiful fire orange mane with her hoof.

“You’re one of the most amazing ponies I have ever met Spitfire.” I looked at her, she gently leaned her head on my shoulder, looking up at the sky. It began to change to a sunset orange slowly.

“Thank you Tornado, I have to admit you are too.” She hugged me gently.

“The sun’s already setting; we must have had so much fun that the day has just flown by.” I looked up, happily at the setting sun.

“Come on, I know a place we can fly.” Spitfire got onto her hooves.

“I thought you needed to rest.” I smirked and got onto mine, preparing to take flight.

“I did.” She giggled, swaying her tail and then taking off to fly out of the stadium. I followed closely behind, looking at the mare in her Wonderbolt costume. As the sun was setting, we reached a place not far from Cloudsdale; in fact it was just next to Canterlot.

“Watch this.” I said, flying far away and then coming back. I did a barrel roll, spreading my wings out and allowing me to glide while doing it. “Woo!” I cheered.

“Nice.” She giggled. “But check this out.” She spread her wings and then flew up high, doing a loop and coming back down, just missing a cloud. The sun was now just going under the horizon, filling the sky with a beautiful orange tint.

“Oh you think you’re so clever don’t you?” I chuckled and then began to make a complex roll at high speeds. It constantly looped, left and then right before coming to a halt. The world around me was spinning and I was trying to get my head back together.

“Are you okay there?” Spitfire smirked, coming to help me.

“Yeah, I’m just dizzy that’s all.” I responded. Spitfire placed her hooves on my shoulders and shook me. Surprisingly it got rid of the dizziness and made me feel much better.

“Well, how do you feel now?” Spitfire asked softly, looking into my eyes with a smile.

“Much better thanks.” I nodded and looked at the sun that was slowly burying itself, under the horizon. “Come on, let’s watch the sunset.” I suggested, “I know a place.”

“Sounds good to me, lead the way.” Spitfire requested. “As long as it’s good.” She grinned.

“I hope you find it nice.” I smirked and flew over to a peaceful hill. No pony there, just me and Spitfire. There was a lovely tree at the top too, where we could sit. Perfect. When we sat down, I leaned my head against the stalk of the tree and she rested her head on my belly for comfort. I felt a small blush grow on my face as she did.

“You’re right, this is nice.” She happily exhaled, looking at the sun. The sun reflected off of the yellow stripes of the Wonderbolt outfit she was wearing.

“I think I love her, she’s so beautiful, so kind and caring. So…so.” I said in my thoughts, running out of words to say. “Oh but she wouldn't want a pony like me, I’m just normal, I’m nothing special, nothing lovable!”

She just laid there, relaxed. She snuggled deeper into my belly. My blush began to go wild, like a fire spreading through a forest, burning everything in its path.

“Hey Spitfire, have you ever considered…a special pony?” I asked nervously, blushing deeply.

“It’s crossed my mind; I’m not going to lie.” She blushed lightly and looked up at me. “T-Tornado?”

“Yes Spitfire?” I asked curiously, looking into her sparkling orange eyes. Her eyes made me smile.

“W-Would you maybe…uh.” Spitfire couldn't seem to process her words, like if all her words were getting caught up and collided before they made it out of her mouth.

“W-would I what?” I found myself shaking, I was getting nervous. My heart was pounding like if it wanted to burst through my chest.

“M-Maybe…uh.” She gazed into my eyes. “Be my special pony?” She blushed hotly and looked away.

I was stunned at what she asked me, it was like a dream come true. “Spitfire?” I asked softly.

“Y-yes?” She looked at me, now with her cheeks as bright as a flashlight.

“I’d happily be yours.” I slowly moved in to kiss her, closing my eyes as I did. As our lips touched, we both blushed darkly and embracing the feel of each other’s kiss. I held her close to me as we kissed each other lovingly, not wanting to let go of the mare.

As began to massage her wings and stroke her mane. The silkiness of her mane felt comfortable against my hoof. I deepened the kiss and slowly went opened mouth. Once we broke the kiss, we looked into each other’s eyes, not regretting anything.

“Tornado, I love you.” She said softly with a blush on her cheeks.

“I love you too Spitfire, I always will.” I just smiled and continued blushing. The blush only grew bigger each second. We kissed again, this time more passionately than before. We held each other close and I allowed Spitfire to climb on top of me to cuddle.

“Don’t let go.” She tried speaking while we kissed. The flavors of summer were in my mouth from her kisses, nice and warm how I expected.

“I’ll never let go of you, you’ll always be in my heart.” I broke the kiss slowly and then looked at the sun just go under the horizon. “Come on, you can stay at mine tonight Spitfire.”

She nodded to my words. “Will you watch me at the show tomorrow, Tornado?” She stroked my cheek lightly and looked at me hopefully.

“Of course I will Spitfire; I promise I’ll be there.” I stroked her mane and nuzzled her gently. “Now come on, you can ride on my back if you want.”

Spitfire got off me and chuckled. “I have wings silly, I’ll be fine.” She yawned softly and looked at me with tired eyes.

“No you need rest Spitty, come on get on my back.” I bent down, offering to fly her back to my house. She climbed on my back and wrapped her arms around my chest.

“Thank you Tornado.” She nuzzled my ears and then I took flight. She let out another yawn, now beginning to doze off. As we arrived, she was already asleep on my back. I pushed open the door and slowly trotted in, closing the door behind me. I slowly walked upstairs, making sure I didn't drop Spitfire.

“She’s so cute when she sleeps.” I softly spoke, as I entered my room and placing her down onto my double bed. I gently kissed her head and tucked her in. “Sleep well Spitfire, you've got a big day tomorrow.” I got into the bed with her and cuddled her warmly, placing my wing over her. Then I fell fast asleep.
