- >”For fuck’s sake.”
- >You blushed, sighing.
- “I just can’t get her off my mind after the Equestrian Games, I have to go see her again!”
- >Spitfire huffed.
- >”God damn it, Soarin. Our tour starts tomorrow! I can’t have you doing this now!”
- “Come one, I won’t be that long!”
- >Your pleading and arguing didn’t do much good.
- >Usually when you argued with Spitfire about something like this, it would be damn near impossible for her to change her mind.
- >”Business comes first” as she always said.
- “Damn it…”
- >There’s obviously no changing her mind.
- >It’s best not to make her even more pissed off.
- >Before you could exit the room however, she stopped you.
- >”Soarin wait.”
- >You turn to her.
- “Yes?”
- >”Alright look. I can see you feel… strongly for her…”
- >She made an over-exaggerated gag after the word ‘strongly’
- >”...But if it means so much to you, you can go see her. BUT YOU BETTER BE BACK BEFORE WE LEAVE.”
- >Holy shit.
- >Did Spitfire just give you permission to go do something like this?
- >”I mean it, Soarin. I can’t have you making us stall the tour because you want to go chase some mare.”
- >You nod, smiling.
- “Relax, Spitty. I won’t be long.”
- >She twitches.
- >”And DON’T call me that…”
- >You chuckle, then turn and run off.
- >After running off, Spitfire sighs sadly.
- >”Stallions…”
- -
- >It only takes a few hours of flying to reach Ponyville.
- >You land in the middle of town, catching a few looks from the citizens.
- >”Is that Soarin?”
- >”What’s he doing here?”
- >May as well start the search, you don’t have much time.
- >You notice a yellow mare with a pink mane, the same one you saw on Dash’s team in the games.
- >She’s at a stand buying some apples.
- >Maybe she will know something about her location.
- >Worth a shot.
- “Excuse me, miss?”
- >The mare gasps and drops her basket of apples.
- >”Oh…”
- >Did you startle her?
- “Uh… Are you okay?”
- >”Oh y- yes I’m sorry, you just scared me a little.”
- >She picks up her apples and stands up, looking at you nervously.
- >The mare behind the stand chuckles.
- >”Sorry bout’ her, she’s just shy is all.”
- >You turn and face her.
- “Ah, I understand.”
- >You chuckle.
- >”Say, aren’t you Soarin from the Wonderbolts?”
- >Oh come on, you aren’t even wearing your uniform.
- “Yep.”
- >”Ah, well what are ya’ doin’ in Ponyville?”
- >While you were talking with the mare behind the cart, the shy mare from earlier sneaks off before you can ask her anything.
- >Just your luck.
- “Well actually, I’m looking for someone.”
- >”And who might that be, if ya don’t mind me asking?”
- “I heard Rainbow Dash lives around here.”
- >”You’re lookin’ for Rainbow?”
- >You nod and she smiles.
- >”Well I saw her go into Sugarcube Corner about 30 minutes ago, it’s down the road!”
- “Alright, thanks!”
- >Okay, let’s see where this goes!
- >You can hardly wait to see her again.
- >You turn and run off down the road.
- >At the end of the road, you stop infront of what looks like a bakery.
- >This must be the place.
- >Before you can get any closer, the door opens and out she steps!
- >A bead of sweat drops from your brow as you smile nervously, trying to get the nerve up to go say hi to her.
- >”Alright alright, I forgive you already!”
- >It sounds like she’s talking to someone.
- >”I didn’t mean to miss out on the games, I was just sick is all.”
- >Out behind her steps something you’ve never seen before.
- >It looks like a giant monkey without any hair except on the head.
- >Maybe some friend.
- >It’d be kind of rude to interrupt, so you stay off to the side.
- >”I know, I just said I forgave you!”
- >Rainbow Dash chuckled.
- >”Man, the things you do sometimes, anon.”
- >What happens next makes your mouth go wide.
- >”But that’s why I like you.”
- >She pulls him down and leans in…
- >W- what’s she doing?
- >...and kisses him.
- >You can hear your heart shatter.
