It was a very hot summer day in Ponyville, so Flare decided to head down to the town swimming pool. There were lots of ponies swimming in the pool, playing, diving, some were relaxing in the sun, and some were in the hot tub. Flare walks over to the entrance gate, opens it, and heads inside.

"Ah, what a beautiful hottastic, watertastic, diving boardastic, hot tubastic, beach ballastic, no coleslawastic, because I don't like cole slaw DAY!" said Flare. Then Flare puts his beach bag on the floor next to a lounge chair. Flare puts on his sunglasses, takes off his shoes and vest, puts sun block on his skin then lays down on the lounge chair eating salt and viniger potato chips. After he finishes eating, he walks over to the pool and feels the pool with his hoof. Then Flare shivers.

"Oooo! The water's cold!" said Flare. Then Flare takes off his sunglasses and puts on goggles. "But that ain't stoppin me from jumping in. Lion face. Watch my cannonball!" Then Flare takes out a beach ball. "I know this isn't a cannonball, but it's all I got." Then Flare smacks the beach ball and hits a pony named Shy Blaze's head.

"Hey watch it!" cried Shy Blaze.

"LOL it's just a beach ball, brah." said Flare.

"A beach ball what?" asked Shy Blaze.

"I take it that you're a concerned about something, my friend?" asked Flare in a squeaky voice.

"Are you gonna jump in, or just tell me stuff that doesn't make any sense what so ever?" asked Shy.

"Brahs and sistas, I give yooooooou... NOTHING! You lose! Good day sir! ROFL!" teased Flare.

"Uh... what are you..." asked Shy Blaze.

"I said good day, sir!" said Flare. Then he walks back to the lounge chair and eats more potato chips. When he finishes eating, he starts jogging back to the pool, but then the life guard blows their whistle. "No running on pool deck!" the life guard says, pointing to the sign.

"I wasn't running, I was jogging. There's a different you know." said Flare.

The life guard sighs. "Carry on." he says. Then Flare was just about to jump into the pool, however Twilight teleports in front of him.

"Surprise face!" cried Flare. "Why do you do that?"

"You know Flare, you shouldn't be swimming right after you eat, you need to wait a half hour or so." she said.

"Hi I'm Twilight, RULES RULES RULES along with WORDS WORDS WORDS!" said Flare.

"If you go into the pool right after you eat, you'll get sick." said Twilight.

Flare gave himself a facehoof. "Sigh. What can I do then? May I go into the hot tub?" he asked.

"Certainly!" said Twilight.

"Kay thanks, bye." said Flare. Then he ran from the grass area of the pool to the hot tub.

The lifeguard blew his whistle. "Okay, that was running. No running on the pool deck!" he yelled.

"I'm not running on the pool deck, I'm running in the grass area. LOL you're so silly." teased Flare. The lifeguard got grumpy and mumbled to himself.

Flare jumps into the hot tub, puts his hooves on the back of his head and relaxes. "Ah this is nice. Lion face." said Flare. "But the seat seems softer than I thought." Flare wiggles his behind in the hot tub. "And it seems hairy too. Hairy Potter. ROFL!"

Then bubbles popped out from behind Flare. A green pony named Keith noticed the bubbles. "Nice, dude." he said, then he hopped out of the hot tub.

"Forty-Five degree angle mouth face. That was not me." said Flare. Then Flare put his hoof under him and noticed what he was sitting on. He took out what he was sitting on and it was Rainbow Dash. "Oh hi Rainbow Dash. Smiley face."

Rainbow Dash was angry. "Next time, look before you leap." she yelled then whacked him in the face with her tail.

"Ouch. Sorry." said Flare.

"What's up Flare?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Gas prices, always." said Flare.

"Ooookay." said Rainbow Dash. "I mean what's going on?"

"All the light switches around the world." said Flare.

"I mean..." said Rainbow Dash.

"No you're not mean, Dashie. You're pretty nice." said Flare.

"Thank you Flare, but that's not what I mean." said Rainbow Dash.

"I told you, you're not mean... as I know of." said Flare.

"Hey Flare, can I ask you something?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"You just did." said Flare. Rainbow Dash giggled.

"You know, you are pretty funny aren't you?" she asked.

"I'm not pretty funny, I'm handsome funny. Because I'm a colt, remember?" said Flare.

"I know what you're gonna say next." said Rainbow Dash in an annoyed tone.

"Oh yeah? What am I gonna say next?" said Flare mischieviously.

"LOL remember Dash?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"HA HA HA HA! Ex dee! Ex dee! I got you to say it! LOLOLOLOL! Got you!" teased Flare. Then Flare starts dancing. "Oh yeah, I got Rainbow to say it, I got Rainbow to say it!" he sang.

Rainbow Dash giggles. "Yeah, you got me Flare. You sure got me." she said.

"Hm... this hot tub lacks bubbles. Is the tub even working?" asked Flare. Then the hot tub bubbles appeared. "Oh there we go. So what did you want to ask me Dash?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask you if you ever found your special somepony?" she asked.

"Why you askin? Want me to be yours? ROFL!" teased Flare.

Rainbow Dash blushed. "No. Nothing personal Flare. Just... no." she said with a squee.

"I never found my special somepony yet. There's a couple I like, but it's best I remain single when I can. Winkey face. If you're in a relationship, you have to give them special attention." said Flare. "Me? I'm not ready for that kind of attention yet. I have mares that are friends, but no marefriends yet if ya catch my drift."

"I hear you loud and clear Flare, and I totally understand." said Dash.

"What about you Dash? Have you found your special somepony yet?" asked Flare.

Rainbow Dash became silent, then bursted to tears.

"Whoa, Dash! Why the tears?" asked Flare.

Rainbow Dash sniffled and said, "Nothing. Nopony."

"C'mon Dash tell your ol buddy. You can trust me, right?" said Flare with a squee.

"It's not you Flare." said Dash holding Flare's shoulder. "I just... I just don't want to talk about it."

"I ain't forcing ya." said Flare.

"Well I suppose... I could tell ya." said Dash.

"No, no, it's cool. I know you don't want to talk about it." said Flare.

"Yeah you're right I won't talk about it." said Dash.

"Good girl." said Flare patting her on the head. Then Dash takes out a video camera.

"Instead I'm gonna show you a video about it." said Dash.

"Oh... okay." said Flare.

Then Rainbow Dash turned on the video camera and showed Flare the video of her and Gilda in flight school.

"Who's the bird?" asked Flare.

"She's not a bird, she's a griffin. My old friend from flight school. Her name is Gilda." said Dash.

"LOLOLOLOLOL! If her name is Gilda, then shouldn't she be a fish? If she's a griffin, then it should be Featherda. ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.

Rainbow Dash laughed. "Here is us at school. You know the Wonderbolts right?"

"Yeah. They preform at every Nashorse race. I met Spitfire personally when they played at Mareami!" said Flare.

"Well Soarin, one of the Wonderbolts, before he was a Wonderbolt, he was a coach in high flight school." explained Dash.

"Alright students!" said Soarin in the video. "Today I'm timing each of you to see how fast you can go. You must start here, and fly all the way to the Cloud Factory, and back. No cheating, because my partner is over there at the checkpoint. Up first, we have..." then Rainbow Dash fast forwards the video.

"Hey I was enjoying it." complained Flare.

"Sorry, I just want to skip to my point." said Dash. Then Rainbow Dash plays the video after two ponies had their turn.

"Well done Cloud Chaser! Well done Flitter! Well done everypony!" said Soarin. "We have two more ponies, up first... Blaze Goldheart."

The video showed a gray pegaus pony with a red and blond mane and tail, walking towards the starting line.

"And there he was." said Dash. The video showed Dash with big eye pupils and a big smile as she saw Blaze go towards the starting line. "I've been childhood friends with him, but I never got the chance to tell him how I felt."

"LOL! And I thought Fluttershy was the shy one!" teased Flare.

"Shut up!" said Dash playfully. "So there he was. He was the most handsome colt I ever met!"

"Was?" asked Flare.

"I mean still is." said Dash.

"Alright Blaze, show me what you got!" said Soarin. Blaze went into his position pose and mischieviously looked straight ahead.

"I'm ready, Mr. Soarin!" said Blaze.

"Ready, set, GO!" cried Soarin starting his stopwatch. Blaze went in full speed to the Cloud Factory, spun around it, then flew back to the school. While he was on his way there, he cried a big roar and a ring of fire spreaded out of his body, then a fire pheonix appeared crying a big screech then disappeared. Blaze finally arrived at the school. Everypony, including Rainbow Dash was cheering.

"Hmph. Big deal." said Gilda.

"Wow! 15 seconds!" said Soarin in surprise. "A new record! Well done, Mr. Goldheart! Up next, Rainbow Dash!"

"Go get 'em tiger!" said Gilda, giving Dash a bro hoof (or sister hoof).

"No problemo, sister!" said Dash mischieviously walking to the starting line.

"Good luck." Blaze said to Dash. "You're gonna need it."

Rainbow Dash blushed and got in position. "On your mark! Get set! NOT GO! NOT GO! GO!" cried Soarin starting his stopwatch. Rainbow Dash flew in full speed to the cloud factory, and dashed right back to the school, leaving a Sonic Rainboom behind her.

"WOW! This is amazing!" cried Soarin. "10 seconds flat! You certainly made this 20% cooler, Rainbow Dash!"

"Thanks Mr. Soarin!" said Dash. Then Rainbow Dash walked back to Gilda.

"Smooth move, dudet!" said Gilda. "You seem parshed. Let's go grab a bite."

"Right behind ya, Gilda!" said Rainbow Dash. So they both walked to the lunch room.

"Where did you get all this recording from anyway?" asked Flare. "Who recorded it?"

"Derpy." said Rainbow Dash. Gilda and Rainbow Dash in the video were carrying their lunches to the table. Gilda then tripped over Cloud Kicker without anypony noticing.

"What you lookin at, stupid?" Gilda asked Derpy in a mean tone.

"Rainbow Dash told me to record her today." said Derpy.

"There's nothing even to record!" yelled Gilda.

"You'll never know." said Derpy.

"Hey Dasher, and Flitter!" Rainbow Dash on the video said to them. Then Gilda came up to them and roared in their faces. Then then Cloud Chaser and Flitter cried and ran away.

"LOL what?" said Flare.

"Gilda, why did you do that?" asked Rainbow Dash in the video.

"Sorry, I was actually seeing how effective my roar is, I was only playing. I'll go apologize to them." said Gilda as she walked out of the lunch room.

"Oh that Gilda." said Rainbow Dash with a laugh.

Blaze Goldheart appears and laughs along with her. "Yeah, I agree. Somethings just never change around here." he said to her.

Rainbow Dash blushed, "Oh... hi." she said.

"Hi, Rainbow Dash!" said Blaze. "Sweet moves out there! You certainly are the best flyer in the school!"

Rainbow giggled. "Thanks, Blaze." she said.

"Hey listen, if you want, you wanna go for a race to Ponyville with Gilda?" asked Blaze.

"Sounds awesome!" said Dash. "When would you want to that?"

"Right after school!" said Blaze. "Meet ya out front!" Blaze winked at Dash and walked out of the lunch room. Rainbow Dash sighed and just stared at him as he left.

"LOL! Rainbow Dash and Blaze sittin in a tree. K-I-C-K-I-N-G! ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.

"We're 'kicking' in the tree?" asked Rainbow Dash concerned.

"Yeah, kicking kisses in eachother's faces. LOLOLOLOLOL!" teased Flare.

"I... I don't get it." said Rainbow Dash.

"Nevermind, just continue." said Flare.

"Okay, so we decided to have a flight course. We raced all the way to Canterlot and back." said Rainbow Dash showing the video of Rainbow Dash, Gilda, and Blaze going from Canterlot and back.

"Good luck you two. You'll need it!" said Blaze.

"We don't need luck, right Dash?" said Gilda.

"You got it!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Ready... set... GO!" cried Blaze, then they started the race. Blaze and Dash were flying side by side. Of course Gilda tried to cheat, but they didn't let her. There was a little pushing from her, but Blaze and Dash supported eachother, then they back fired on her. Eventually, the three of them tied to the finish line.

"I won, I'm the best!" said Gilda.

"No way, that was me!" said Rainbow Dash in the video.

"I'm perfectly certain it was me." said Blaze.

"No it was me!" said Derpy holding the camera.

"You weren't even part of the race Derpy." said Blaze.

"Why you still recording?" asked Gilda.

"Remind you of anypony, Flare? Anypony that used the camera too much... like during the wedding?" Rainbow Dash asked Flare.

"Negetive." said Flare.

"We should totally do this again! That was so awesome!" said Rainbow Dash in the video.

"Yeah totally! Well I'm gonna head home to get some grub. I'll catch you two on the flip side!" said Gilda. Then she flies away.

"Oh that Gilda, huh Rainbow?" asked Blaze.

"You got it Blaze!" said Rainbow Dash. "Just look at that sunset!"

"Yeah, it sure is beautiful, isn't it?" said Blaze. The two of them sat down with eachother on the cliffside and watched the sun go down.

"You're amazing, Blaze! You're a great friend! We're gonna be graduating soon, you know?" said Rainbow Dash leaning her head on Blaze.

"I know. You're amazing too. You're my most bestest friend in the whole world!" said Blaze. "But... I can't stay."

"Why not?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Because... you see... I keep getting picked on, and put down by everypony, because of my... secret. You and Gilda are pretty much the only ones who understand me." said Blaze. "Well Gilda just isn't afraid of me, but I don't think she likes me much. You're pretty much my only friend." Blaze started getting tears in his eyes. Rainbow Dash did the same, then he hugged him.

"Please don't go." said Rainbow Dash.

"I have to. I won't forget you though." said Blaze. Rainbow Dash started to cry and hugged Blaze tight. "Goodbye, Rainbow." He kissed her on the head and flew off.

"Alright I'm stopping the video there!" said Rainbow Dash turning off the recording. Then she covered her eyes.

"Oh what? Oh you lost me. What happened?" asked Flare.

Rainbow Dash glared at Flare with tears on her eyes. "J-K, J-K! I heard the whole thing, no need to be a baby about it." said Flare.

Rainbow Dash calmed down. "It's okay, Flare." she said. "I just... I just wish he was back. Blaze Goldheart. I miss him so." Rainbow Dash started to cry. Then Flare hugged her.

"There there, sister. There there." said Flare. "Smiley face. No need to get all upset about it. Why don't we go visit him?"

"But I don't know where he went." said Rainbow Dash.

"Hmm... what about-" Flare said but got interupted.

"I'm sorry I started this subject." said Rainbow Dash, then she jumps out of the hot tub. "He left me alone, he moved on, he doesn't care about me!"

"Of course he does!" said Flare.

"Oh yeah? How do you know?" asked Rainbow Dash in an angry tone.

"Look. Blaze might have alot of junk on his plate. He'll be back, and he'll see you again!" said Flare.

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say." said Rainbow Dash. "I'm going home. See ya later, Flare." Rainbow Dash flies away. Flare just watched her fly away, then looked down feeling bad. Twilight teleports behind Flare.

"You know Flare-" said Twilight.

"AAH!" Flare cried. "Quit doing that! Why can't you walk like everypony else?"

"Flare, if you want to do something to help Rainbow Dash, you should try to get in contact with Blaze Goldheart." she said.

"Why ask me? You're the one with the ideas, dum dum!" asked Flare.

"I know, but I help ponies out all the time!" said Twilight with a smile. "Maybe you should have a turn."

"But I'm not even part of the Harmony of Elements, or whatever it's called." said Flare.

Twilight put her hoof on Flare's shoulder. "You don't have to be a part of the Elements of Harmony to be a good friend." she said.

"Alright, Light. Alright." said Flare. "But how am I gonna get in contact with him?"

"Meet me in the library." said Twilight, then she teleports away.

"WAIT! Take me with you!" cried Flare. "I gotta learn that spell."

Some time later, Flare went to Twilight's library. He knocked on her door, and Spike opened it.

"AAAH! DRAGON!" cried Flare.

"AAAH! SOME WEIRD PONY I PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH!" cried Spike.

"Twilight? There's a baby dragon in your house!" cried Flare.

"Twilight? There's some hielierious unicorn talking smack about me!" cried Spike.

Flare playfully smacks Spike in the face. "I don't talk smack! I do smack, brah!" said Flare.

"Twilight's in the other room." said Spike.

"You don't say?" Flare said sarcasticly. Flare starts walking over to the other room where Twilight is, but he sees a blue oval on the ground that looks like a portal from the game Portal. "Looks like Twilight is developing the use of portals!"

"Yeah. She says she likes that game so much once you showed her it, she decided to make one of her own using her magic." said Spike.

"Really? Wow looks amazing!" said Flare. He puts his hoof inside the portal, and he looks up and sees the orange portal where his hoof is sticking out. "Wow! It really works! Leet!"

"Try jumping in!" said Spike mischieviously while elbowing Flare.

"No, then I'm gonna be falling from that portal up there right into this portal infinite times." said Flare. "I played the game, I'm not stupid brah."

So Flare jumps over the portal and is just about to open the door, when Twilight teleports in front of him. "Hello, Flare!" she said.

"SURPRISE FACE!" cried Flare. Then he lost his balance and fell through the portal behind him, but because the exit portal was right over the entrance portal, he just kept falling infinite times. Twilight and Spike just stand there, watching Flare travel through space time.

"I guess I should stop doing that, huh?" asked Twilight.

"You think?" said Spike sarcasticly. "Why do you have to be so lazy?"

"Well, sorry. I thought it would let me travel to places faster." said Twilight.

"That's called lazyness. Maybe you should stick with walking, Twilight." said Spike.

"Agreed." said Twilight. Then she uses her magic to close the entrance portal. Flare falls through the exit portal for the last time and falls splat on the ground. Flare puts his head up spinning his head, while his eyes move in a circles, with stars spinning around his head. "Sorry about that, Flare."

"No worries, sister. How about we go to Didney Worl?" asked Flare acting dopey. Then his head falls back on the floor.

Flare was hurt too much so Twilight got him to sit down on a chair, and she put an ice pack on his head.

"I am so sorry, Flare!" said Twilight. "I didn't know what game over me."

"Don't worry about it. Just tell me how to contact or find Blaze Goldheart." said Flare.

"Alright." said Twilight. Twilight goes through her books trying to find a way.

"I thought when you called me here you already knew." said Flare.

"Look I actually wanted your help, but since you're hurt, I'll do it myself." said Twilight.

"No it's kay. I'll do it." said Flare getting up from his chair.

"Are you sure?" asked Twilight.

"I'm all healed! Lion face." said Flare.

"Alright if that's what you want." said Twilight.

"I done alot for this town! I introduced video games!" said Flare.

"Arcade games were already here though." said Twilight.

"Not the XBOX or the Playstation!" said Flare. "If it weren't for me, there would be no interwebs either!"

"Your trailer actually is the only building in town that has that." said Twilight.

"The interwebs are like phones! You have phones right?" asked Flare.

"Yeah we have phones. Not those high-tech cell phones you use though." said Twilight.

"You see, that's why Mareami is so cool! It has everything, sister!" said Flare.

"I'll take your world for it. Now are you gonna help or not?" asked Twilight.

"What do you think I'm doing?" asked Flare, taking and looking through the books.

"Why don't you use your horn, like me?" asked Twilight with a smile, and using her magic to look through the books.

Flare throws a book at Twilight's face, causing her magic to stop and the books fall. "YOU... use your horn! ME... I'm using my hooves! Your horn won't always be there for you, you know." said Flare, still looking through the books.

"Was throwing a book at me really necessary?" asked Twilight.

"Yes." said Flare. "Mischievious lion face." So Flare and Twilight kept looking through her books until a few hours later. Spike goes up to them to check on things while he's eating a burger.

"Find what you guys were looking for?" asked Spike.

"Not yet. We've been looking for... how long have we been looking, Flare?" asked Twilight.

Flare checks his phone for the time. "Four hours." he said.

"Four hours." said Twilight.

"I just said four hours, you don't need to repeat it!" complained Flare.

"Spike? What are you eating?" asked Twilight.

"A burger." said Spike.
"I thought you were a vegetarian like us ponies?" asked Twilight.

"I am. It's a veggie burger." said Spike.

"Where did you get that anyway?" asked Twilight.

"From the new barbecue joint across from Flare's Shop." said Spike.

"A B-B-Q joint trying to steal my business?" cried Flare in anger.

"I don't think they're trying to steal your business, dude." said Spike.

"Oh sure, take their side!" complained Flare.

"I'm not taking their side, I just..." said Spike, but got interupted by Flare.

"Not another word! I'm gonna have a chat with them!" said Flare in an angry tone, marching out of Twilight's library. Twilight and Spike just watched Flare leave.

"I guess I'm researching by myself after all." complained Twilight.

"Yeah good luck with that." said Spike walking away. Twilight gives out a sigh and shakes her head.

Flare marches over to the BBQ joint across from his pizza shop.

"Porker's Veggie Grill?" asked Flare. "Oh now he's asking for it! Angry face!" Flare marches inside and up to the cashier.

"Welcome to Porker's Veggie Grill! How many I help you?" asked the cashier.

"SON I have something to say!" cried Flare.

"What?" asked the cashier in a scared tone as Flare was breathing heavily on his face. Then Flare smiled. "I would like to try one of your tree ribs, with some hay fries on the side, dunked in ranch dressing, some garlic bread, and a sweet iced tea."

"That'll be 12 bits." said the cashier. Flare gives the cashier 15 bits.

"Keep the change!" said Flare. "A little welcoming gift for my new neighbor. Winkey face."

"Have a nice evening, sir." said the cashier, giving Flare his food.
"You too! You too!" said Flare. Then he walks over to a table and starts eating his food. "Delish! It's been a while since I had B-B-Q."

Eventually, the Wonderbolts flew down and walked inside the shop. Flare noticed them while he was eating.

"Oh look! It's the Wonderbolts! Rainbow Dash's favorite group!" said Flare. "I should give her a call." Flare takes out his cell phone and starts dialing her number.

Back at Rainbow Dash's place, Rainbow Dash is weeping on her pillow, then her phone starts ringing. Rainbow starts to calm down, blow her nose, then she answers the phone.

"Hello?" said Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow! You'll never guess who's here at the Porker's BBQ!" said Flare.

"I don't care, Flare." said Rainbow Dash.

"Oh you rhymed!" said Flare.

"Look, I'm not in the mood right now, okay?" said Rainbow Dash.

"But you don't understand! It's the Won..." said Flare, but then Rainbow Dash interupted.

"I don't care right now. I'm sorry, but I'm a little too busy. Good-bye, Flare." said Rainbow Dash.

"WAIT! Rainbow Dash, it's the..." before Flare could finish, Rainbow Dash hangs up her phone and continues to cry.

Flare's called ended, then Flare looked down in an upsetting way. "Sad face." he said.

"Say, don't I know you from somewhere?" asked Spitfire, one of the wonderbolts.

"I think we met at the Nashorse race in Mareami, right?" asked Flare.

Spitfire smiled. "That's right! You were that pony with the laser horn, right?"
"Right, right, right! LOL!" said Flare.

"Nice to see you again! May I eat with you?" asked Spitfire.

"Well don't think I'm one of those fans that go, 'AAAAH IT'S THE WONDERBOLTS! May I have your autograph? How do you fly so fast? Oh you're so cool! May we have a picture?'" said Flare in a squeaky voice and a eyelashes that popped out of his eyes while he talked.

Spitfire giggled. "Yeah I know you're not like that." she said.

"You guys are my friend Rainbow Dash's favorite flight group. She's always wanted to join you." said Flare.

"I know. Maybe someday." said Spitfire sitting down across from Flare, eating her food.

"I heard this place just opened not too long ago." said Flare.

"Yeah I wanted to try it out." said Spitfire.

"Have you ever ate at my shop?" asked Flare.

"Flare's Pizza Parlor right? Yeah I ate there before, but you weren't there." said Spitfire.

Flare laughed. "I guess I was either with friends, or doing leet stuff. Living in Ponyville changed my life, sister!" he said.

"So I hear." said Spitfire.

"I called Rainbow Dash, but she was in too much of a bad mood to come over and see you guys." said Flare.

"Aw, what happened?" asked Spitfire.

"Well... there's this pony she liked back in high school." explained Flare. "They were both the best flyers in the school. But... he left her."

"That's sad. Soarin worked at that school by the time Rainbow Dash was in high school." said Spitfire.

"Now how is Soarin working at that school sad?" asked Flare.

"I meant when Rainbow Dash and her coltfriend went their seperate ways." said Spitfire.

"LOL I know!" said Flare. "But they weren't going out, they were just best friends. Rainbow Dash didn't realize how much she missed him after she mentioned him after we were talking about special someponies."
"You have a special somepony?" asked Spitfire.

"Nope. Why, you wanna go out? Winkey face." asked Flare.

Spitfire blushed and giggled. "But I don't know you well!"

"LOL I know." said Flare. "I was messing around, I'm not ready for the dating world yet."

"Oh, okay." said Spitfire. "Who's this friend of Dash anyway?"

"Blaze Goldheart." said Flare.

Spitfire spitted out her drink when she heard that. "Blaze Goldheart?" cried Spitfire. Then she saw tea all over Flare after she spit it out on him. Flare made a glare at Spitfire. Spitfire squeed with embarrassment. Flare wiped his face off.

"So you heard of Blaze?" asked Flare.

"Yeah he just joined the Wonderbolts last week." said Spitfire.

"You're bluffing." said Flare.

"No I'm not." said Spitfire.

"Seriously?" asked Flare.

"Yes." said Spitfire.

"Like seriously actually?" asked Flare.

"Yes!" said Spitfire in a louder tone.

"Like seriously seriously with the actually actually?" asked Flare.

"YES!" yelled Spitfire. "How many times do I have to say that?"
"LOL I'm just messing with you, sister! Come on! Put a grin on your face! That was funny! Ex dee! Ex dee!" said Flare.

Then Spitfire giggled. "You really are funny. We should hang again." she said.

"First thing's first!" said Flare. "Where is Blaze right now?"

"He's at our camp at Cloudsdale." said Spitfire.

"Alright, then after dinner I'll go to Cloudsdale." said Flare.

"But you're a unicorn." said Spitfire.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"At Cloudsdale you need to be a pegasus." said Spitfire.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"Because earth ponies and unicorns can't even get up there without a way up there. You need wings, or something." said Spitfire.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"Besides, Cloudsdale is a cloud city." said Spitfire.

"Hey! Just like Star Wars!" said Flare.

"If you set foot on the city, you'll just fall right through the clouds." said Spitfire.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"What's your point?" asked Spitfire with an evil look.

Flare points at Spitfire. "This Spitty, this is my point."

Spitfire laughs again. "You crack me up Flare!" cried Spitfire.

"Whoa, I'm not trying to break you." said Flare.

"Huh?" asked Spitfire.

"What?" asked Flare.

"What did you say?" asked Spitfire.

"What did YOU say?" asked Flare.

Spitfire just stares at Flare. "Nevermind." she said.

So they both finish their dinners and set off into the dusk sky. Spitfire holds Flare as they are flying.

"I believe I can fly!" Flare sang. "You know what, Spitfire? What if I was a pegasus instead of a unicorn? NO, wait! I like being a unicorn."

Spitfire lands in the city still holding Flare. "You can let go now." said Flare.

"Okay." said Spitfire letting go of Flare. Flare goes right through the cloud and starts falling. Flare was screamming as he was falling, but then gets rescued by Spitfire. "I guess you need a helping hoof after all." she said with a wink.
"For sure." said Flare. Spitfire flies herself and Flare back to the city and into their camp site. "Welcome to the Wonderbolts camp site!" she said.

"Wow! Look at all these Wonderbolts! Which one is Blaze?" asked Flare.

"I dunno." said Spitfire. "We'll have to find him using a megaphone."

"I have one in handy." said Soarin. He turns on the megaphone and speaks through it. "Excuse me? Wonderbolts? May I have your attention please?" All the wonderbolts got their attention to Soarin. "Alright, I'm looking for Blaze Goldheart. There's a pony here to see you. I repeat, Blaze Goldheart. There's a pony here to see you!"

"That pony's got a name you know." said Flare.

"I dunno your name." said Soarin. Then he flew away.

A gray pony with a curly and wavely red and yellow mane and tail, wearing a wonderbolt's outfit walked over to Spitfire and Flare.

"Captain Spitfire." said Blaze as he salutes. "How can I help you?"
"This pony wishes to speak with you." said Spitfire.

"Okay. Who are you?" asked Blaze.

"Flare's the name, and video is my game. Lion face." said Flare.

"Oooookay." said Blaze. "Nice to meet you Flare, my name is Blaze Goldheart."

"Yeah I know who you are." said Flare.

"Excuse me, Spitfire? Can the two of us talk down at earth?" asked Blaze.

"We are in Earth, remember?" said Flare.

"I meant down to the soil." said Blaze.

"Sure thing!" said Spitfire. Then Spitfire and Blaze fly down to earth, near Ponyville lake. Spitfire let's go of Flare.

"Thanks for everything, Spitty!" said Flare. "Hope to see you again soon!"

"Bye Flare." said Spitfire, then she flies away.

"Alright dude, seriously." said Blaze. "What's going on? How do you know who I am?"

"My friend told me about you. You seem like a leet pony dude!" said Flare.

"Thanks, but seriously what's going on? Who's this friend of yours?" asked Blaze.

"Rainbow Dash." said Flare.

Blaze froze for a second, then looked down sad. "Rainbow Dash." he said to himself. "The only pony that truly understood me." Blaze walked over to the lake and looked down at it. "Rainbow Dash and I were best friends in high school."

"So I heard." said Flare.

"I had a secret that I wanted nopony to know about. It wasn't long until Rainbow Dash knew my secret. Everypony else that wasn't in my family that knew my secret started to avoid me, all hated me, threw trash at me. Rainbow Dash was the only one who actually accepted me!" Blaze started tearing up while looking in the water. A drop landed in the water. "So I decided to leave Equestria with my family."

"Wow..." said Flare.

"Pretty sad, huh Flare?" asked Blaze.

"Huh? Oh sorry I wasn't listening, I just saw a lady bug wrestle a wasp to the ground. GO LADY BUG!" said Flare.

Blaze gave out a sigh and shook his head. "Why do I even bother? Is Rainbow Dash around? I've been looking all around Cloudsdale for her, but... I couldn't find her at all." he said.

"Oh she doesn't live in Cloudsdale anymore, brah." said Flare. "She lives here in Ponyville. She's our new main weather mare. She moves the clouds around and everything! She has her awesome sonic rainboom tricks, and and and her spins and twirls, and and and her awesome rainbow trail while she does the tricks, and and and..."

"Okay I get it." said Blaze. "Where is she. Please take me to her!"

"Can you carry a 190 pound unicorn pony?" asked Flare.

"Oh do I have to carry you? I think I'll pass, dude." asked Blaze.

"Do you want to see Rainbow Dash or not?" asked Flare.

Blaze let out a sigh. "Okay Flare. Take me to Rainbow Dash." he said picking up Flare.

"Okay first you have to go up." said Flare.

"Noooo, really?" said Blaze sarcasticly.

So Blaze flies Flare through the sky trying to find Rainbow Dash's house. Flare gives Blaze directions of where it is, then eventually they find it.

"Okay, you see that house over there?" asked Flare.

"The one on the cloud?" asked Blaze.

"No the one on my head." teased Flare. "Of course the one on the cloud! That's Rainbow Dash's house." Blaze lands on the cloud still carrying Flare. "Look just let me get Dash's attention. Then when she sees you and wants to talk to you, you can set me down so you two can have a little... private time. Winkey face." said Flare.

"Alright Flare." said Blaze.

"RAINBOW DASH HELP! FLUTTERSHY'S IN TROUBLE!" cried Flare.

"Seriously? I didn't think you'd mean it like that." said Blaze.

Rainbow Dash dashes out of her house. "Where is she Flare? What's happened to her?" she asked. Rainbow Dash notices Blaze.

"B-Blaze?" said Rainbow Dash in shock. "Is that you?"

"Rainbow Dash?" said Blaze in a shock. Blaze then accidently let go of Flare and he started falling. Blaze wasn't paying attention though, he was too shock into seeing Rainbow Dash again.

Flare smashed into the ground. "I'm okay!" he yelled.

Rainbow Dash hugged Blaze real tight and started crying again. "I'm so happy you're back! I waited for you for a long time! Wishing for you to come back and race along side me again!"

"I'm sorry Rainbow." said Blaze. "I had to get away from it all. All the hate and all the teasing, I couldn't live to know about everypony knowing my secret."

"I'm sorry, Blaze." said Rainbow Dash. "It was my fault. I should've been there for you."

"No, you belong here." said Blaze.

"Why did you come back?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Before I left Ponyville, I went to see you one last time at your house." Blaze started. "I wanted to say good-bye to you, and... tell you how I really feel, but... you were really upset. You kept yelling, 'Blaze don't leave, I love you!' That's when I realized you actually loved me back. I didn't want to say good-bye to you, because... it would be too hard. So I just blew a kiss and flew off, and never looked back. I left town and saw my family one last time. I left and didn't come back until many years later. While I was living in exile..."

"Flare? May I ask ya somethin?" asked Apple Bloom. Flare was in a bedroom, reading a story to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Is this story true?"
"Well the story is sort of true." said Flare. "Blaze actually ran away from home when he was a foal, like 6 or 7."
"You said this story was true!" cried Scootaloo.

"Well not 100%. Most of it is true, my parts." said Flare. "I actually wanted to put alot of drama in it. So I said Blaze ran away from home in high school. He actually came back in high school, but this shows more drama! Lion face."

"Tell us the true story." said Sweetie Belle.

"Alright you wanna hear the true story? I'll give you girls the true story!" said Flare. "It was all true until Rainbow Dash started crying after I said the special somepony part. She actually told me the story, not a recording. I thought it would be interesting if it was a recording. The Twilight scene was also true, and the Porker's BBQ was also true when I saw Spitfire. So she took me to her camp where I met Blaze, then when Blaze was talking to me on Earth, he didn't want to see Rainbow Dash. He was too afraid for me to know his secret. But I took him to Rainbow Dash's place and the secret was revealed."

"What was the secret?" asked Apple Bloom.

"Not telling, I swore not to tell anypony."

"Pleeeease?" the Crusaders said with kitten eyes.

"Sigh. You promise not to tell anypony?" asked Flare.

"We promise." the Crusaders said sweetly.

"Pinkie promise?" asked Flare.

"Cross our hearts, hope to fly, stick a cupcake..." before the crusaders could finish, Flare stuck a cupcake on Apple Bloom's and Sweetie Belle's eyes, then he puts a donut on Scootaloo's eye.

"Sorry Scoots, I only had two cupcakes. So I gave you a donut." said Flare.
"Fine. Now tell us the secret!" said Scootaloo.

"Alright. So Blaze and I went to Rainbow Dash's house." said Flare. Blaze flies over to Rainbow Dash's house while holding Flare.

"Look just let me get Dash's attention. Then when she sees you and wants to talk to you, you can set me down so you two can have a little... private time. Winkey face." said Flare.

"Uhh... Flare, I don't know about this." said Blaze.

"RAINBOW DASH HELP! FLUTTERSHY'S IN TROUBLE!" cried Flare.

"Seriously? I didn't think you'd mean it like that." said Blaze.

Rainbow Dash dashes out of her house. "Where is she Flare? What's happened to her?" she asked. Rainbow Dash notices Blaze. Rainbow Dash gets nervous. "Oh... hi Blaze! Hey you're back!" Rainbow Dash says sarcasticly like she's hiding something.

"Hey Rainbow Dash! I didn't know I left long." said Blaze in a nervous tone.

"Don't be silly! You were gone since high school! I missed you so much." said Rainbow Dash.

"Are you guys hiding something?" asked Flare.

"No of course not, Flare! Why you think that?" asked Rainbow Dash. Flare gives Rainbow Dash a look.

"Forty five degree angle mouth face. I maybe dumb, but I'm not stupid." said Flare.

Rainbow Dash and Blaze both gave out a sigh. The three of them flew to the ground under Dash's house.

"Okay Flare. I'll tell you the truth." said Dash. "You see, my friends don't even know this. Nopony except our families, and the princesses of course know this. Me and Blaze are... secretly married."

"Oh that's cool, I thought you said-WHAAAAAAT?" said Flare in shock.

"It's true." said Blaze. "The truth is, I actually ran away when I was a foal. I came back to Rainbow Dash during high school. We fell in love, but we didn't want anypony to know we were married."

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"Because our friends would think I'm too young to be married, and almost everypony knows Blaze's secret. Blaze also has enemies out there." said Dash.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"If my foes found out that I'm married to Rainbow Dash, they would do awful stuff to her, and foalnap her." said Blaze.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"And if everypony knew I married Blaze, they might run him out of town." said Dash.

"Your point?" asked Flare.

"What's your point Flare?" asked Blaze.

Flare points to Blaze. "This. This is my point." he said.

"And that Crusaders, is Dash's secret." he said after he finishes the story to the crusaders.

"Rainbow Dash is married?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"But nopony knows." said Flare. "So don't tell anypony! If she finds out I told you, I'm dead."

"Ya can trust us, Flare!" said Apple Bloom.

"So when did this happen?" asked Scootaloo.

"This happened today actually. They also said if Dash's friends found out that she married him and didn't invite them, they may hate her. That's what she said, I don't think it's true. But they said they wanna keep it a secret for the time being." said Flare. "Well it's time to catch some Z's. I have to go catch my P's! Night Crusaders!"

"Night, Flare!" said the Crusaders. Flare runs out of the room and heads into the restroom.

Later that night, Flare walks over to his Pizza Shop and sees Rainbow Dash and Blaze eating there.

"So you guys enjoying your dinner date?" asked Flare.

"Yep! This pizza is delicious, why haven't I eaten here before?" asked Blaze.

"Because you were too stupid to realize who has the best pizza in all of Equestria. LOL!" teased Flare.

"So you haven't told anypony about our... secret?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Nope, nope, nope!" said Flare.

"Thanks for treating us to dinner Flare." said Blaze. "It's hard going out to dinner for me these days with Rainbow Dash."

"Look nopony cares if you're married." said Flare. "Why keep it a secret? Everypony would still less then three you."

Blaze and Rainbow look at eachother then come out with an answer, "Nah." they both said.
