Chapter 2: A familliar face
-----------------------------------------
Morning sunlight spread across Soarin's face and the distant buzz of hummingbirds filled the air, "What a great way to wake up", Soarin thought to himself as he stared up into the blue sky above him. For a moment Soarin laid there, just thinking to himself, until he heard a silent "poomf" sound from beneath him as the cloud below him disappeared. As he suddenly realised he was falling Soarin began to flap his wings rapidly to try to keep him from hitting the ground or at least absorb some of the impact. Soarin landed in a pile of hay bales with a loud thud. The stallion groaned as he slowly got up and dusted himself of. Relieved that he wasn't injured he looked up in confusion to where his makeshift bed used to be until he was greeted by a voice from behind him.
"Woah! sorry about that mister!" Soarin spun to face the voice but found himself blinded by the morning sun causing him to close his eyes tight,
"Wh... What happened?" Soarin asked the voice,
"It was a complete accident, I swear I didn't even see you on that cloud" the voice replied,
"You...you kicked me off the cloud?" Soarin asked still dazed by the sunlight,
"We'll not exactly" the voice replied, "I'm part of the Ponyville weather team and I was just clearing the sky when you fell right out of that cloud I kicked, you're not hurt or anything are you?" The voice asked,
"I'm fine" Soarin replied waving a hoof dismissively, "Names Soarin" the stallion said finally opening his eyes to meet the source of the voice.
A cyan Pegasus mare with a familiar rainbow mane stood there before him with a sudden look of recognition frozen on her face, "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! You're a Wonderbo..." The mare stopped halfway through her sentence, a look of horror spread across her face as she realised that she had almost killed one of her idols, she stood there for a moment, blankly staring into Soarin's emerald green eyes,
"Uh miss? Are you okay?" Soarin eventually asked, the mare slowly began trying to talk but unexpectedly collapsed forwards into Soarin's arms,
"Oh... Uh... Okay?" Soarin said to himself as he stood there awkwardly supporting the mare.
The cyan Pegasus opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room, she sat up to analyse her surroundings, "Was... Was that all a dream?" she asked herself aloud,
"Nope" came the response from the doorway, the rainbow maned Pegasus turned to meet Soarin's familiar emerald green eyes, as the mare sat up Soarin entered the room, "Don't try to get up too fast" he insisted putting a hoof on her shoulder, "you feelin' okay?",
she let out a silent fan-mare squeal at the sudden physical interaction between them, "uh, yeah, I'm fine, just kinda tired" the mare spoke trying to sound as unexcited as possible by the presence of her idol.
"Well, we should probably get you home" Soarin said finally, "you okay to get up?" he asked, the mare nodded as Soarin helped her up,
"Name's rainbo..." she began
"Rainbow dash" Soarin interrupted "You're the one who saved my pie at the gala" He said with a sudden grin spread across his face, Rainbow dash blushed at the fact that one of her her idol's remembered her name, "So where do you live?" Soarin asked, Dash looked at him for a moment slightly confused, "Well you said you were tired didn't you?" he continued "Don't want you flying home all on your own incase, y'know... Anything happens", Rainbow dash blushed as she once again stared deep into Soarin's emerald green eyes.
After a few minutes Soarin and Rainbow Dash were speeding through the air towards her house, when they arrived at the front porch of Dash's cloud house she turned to face her companion, "Thanks for flying me home Soarin" She blushed,
"Oh.. Uh no problem" Soarin said quickly, softly kicking the cloud floor underneath him, "Uh... Dash?" he looked up to meet her magenta eyes,
"Yeah?" Dash responded still clearly excited by Soarin's presence,
"I don't really know anypony around here so uh... would you maybe wanna hang out tonight?" Soarin asked timidly,
"YES!" Rainbow replied hastily, "uh I mean... Sure, sounds cool",
"Great so I'll pick you up here at like seven?" Soarin asked.
"Great!" said Dash now failing miserably to hide her excitement.
Soarin went to fly of the balcony when he was stopped by a cyan hoof on his shoulder, "Oh and uh Soarin?" Dash said, "Thanks for y'know... looking after me" she said slowly, Soarin nodded before flying of back to his hotel room where he had taken Dash leaving the mare alone on her balcony to watch him fly of into the distance, "Im gonna hang out with a Wonderbolt!" She said aloud to herself before letting out another fan-mare squeal and trotting inside.
----------------------------------------------
"I can do this" Soarin thought to himself as he flew towards Rainbow Dash's house later that night, "Wait... What if... What if she already has plans?" Soarin stopped in his tracks, "I'll look like a complete idiot!" The stallion said aloud to himself. Soarin thought before a moment to himself, "I need to ask her" he finally thought to himself, "I already missed the chance once at the Gala", he flew off again towards Rainbow Dash's house.
Meanwhile the Cyan Pegasus was pacing back and forth in her living room with the same look of excitement spread across her face as she had earlier that day, She couldn't get the image of Soarin's eyes out of her mind. A sudden knock at the door caused Rainbow Dash to jump in surprise before running over to answer it.
Soarin and Rainbow Dash sat on a cloud later that night in complete silence, countless stars pierced the vast expanse of sky and the small town below them was shrouded in darkness except for the eerie glow of the moonlight. Eventually Soarin decided to speak up, "Uh... Dash?" The Stallion said timidly, "There's uh... Something I wanted to ask you...". The familiar look of excitement appeared across Dash's face but she managed to hide it,
"What is it?" she asked quickly,
"Well uh..." Soarin paused and looked over to his companion, The moonlight illuminated her cyan coat and her Magenta eyes shone through the darkness, "I was just wondering... I mean unless you had any other plans..."Soarin paused again, he found himself leaning slightly closer to Dash with every word,
"Just spit it out would ya?" Dash said seriously also leaning closer.
The Stallions face was only inches away from Dash's at this point and getting closer, "Well I uh..." Soarin froze again as they both stopped leaning,
"Oh for the love of Celestia! this is taking to long" Dash exclaimed as she threw her arms around Soarin and their lips met, Soarin's eyes immediately widened in surprise but he quickly shut the to savour every moment of her embrace. They sat there together, Silhouetted by the moon and locked in each other's embrace, eventually Dash buried her muzzle in Soarin's mane and they sat there in perfect silence.
"Dash..." Soarin eventually spoke,
"Yeah?" she replied,
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier, I mean... I should've said something when I met you at the Gala, I mean... I knew how I felt about you but..."
"Don't worry about it Soarin..." Dash said slowly still embracing him tightly,
"Will you be my Super Special Somepony?" Soarin asked grinning widely, Without speaking Dash leaned in and kissed Soarin again. Time seemed to stand still while the Peggasi were locked in each other's embrace.
"Well... I had a great night..." Dash said slowly as they arrived back at the front porch of her cloud house,
"Yeah me too..." Soarin replied smiling, "So i'll see you tomorrow right?" He asked looking Dash in the eyes,
"You mean Hearts and Hooves day?, yeah I'll see you tomorrow" Dash replied laughing slightly, Soarin nodded and hugged Dash again before turning around and flying of into the night with a confident smile frozen on his face.
When he arrived back at his hotel room Soarin sat on his bed and began replaying the events of the night over in his mind,"She said yes!" he thought to himself, "She actually said yes!",The Stallion laid back on his bed and closed his eyes, the same confident smile was still frozen on his face as he thought about her, "Spitfire was right", he thought, "I did find somepony"
