(The lights turn on to reveal Soarin sitting on his bed with Spitfire sitting beside him.)

(Soarin)

"I don't understand, she kisses me and then runs away. What kind of mare does that?"

(Spitfire)

"She was probably just nervous. You never know Soarin, she could be on you within a couple of minutes or hours should she next find you."

(Soarin)

"I hope she does find me. I'm really keen to tell her how I feel."

(Spitfire)

"I know but it's a bit late don't you think? She's probably gone back home by now. She could be all warm and tucked up in bed for all we know."

(Voice)

(Off-stage) "I know why she's the way she was."

(Spitfire & Soarin look up as Braeburn walks in.)

(Spitfire)

"How did you get in?"

(Braeburn)

"I snuck in through the window."

(Spitfire)

"Why?

(Soarin)

"And didn't I see you at the party?"

(Braeburn)

"Firstly, yes ya did see me at the party. And second, just thought I'd pay a visit to you guys. What? Can't a Wonderbolt fan see his idols before he goes back to Appaloosa? Anyway, Rainbow Dash ran away from ya because she thought you'd be mad at her for kissin' her."

(Soarin)

"Why on earth would she think I'd be mad with her?"

(Braeburn)

"I dunno Soarin. But last time I checked, she ran to Whitetail Woods."

(Soarin looks hopeful.)

(Soarin)

"Is she still there?"

(Braeburn)

"I dunno. I just heard about it and went to tell you guys."

(Soarin)

(Touching his lips with his hoof) "Such a good kisser."

(He then looks back at Braeburn.)

"Oh I'm sorry Stranger. I never asked what your name was."

(Braeburn)

"Braeburn at your service, Mr. Soarin."

(Soarin)

"Aren't you Applejack's brother or something?"

(Braeburn)

"Uh, no sir. I'm her cousin. You've probably gotten me mistaken for Big Macintosh."

(Soarin)

"Is he the big red colt with the apple slice cutie mark and the deep voice?"

(Braeburn)

"Yep, tha's him. Now if I were you Soarin, I'd find Rainbow Dash and tell her how you feel."

(Soarin)

"You're right Braeburn!"

(Braeburn smiles at Soarin.)

"I'm gonna go tell her right now!"

(Braeburn's smile falls before Soarin pulls him into a crushing hug.)

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

(Soarin releases Braeburn before running off stage.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin wait!"

(Braeburn)

"I didn't mean right this minute!"

(A door can be heard closing.)

(Spitfire)

"Oh sweet Celestia! Goddess knows what trouble he'll get himself into at this time of night!"

(She's about to go after Soarin but Braeburn stops her.)

(Braeburn)

"No Spitfire. Let him find her. I'ma sure he'll be fine. All you can do now is just hope he finds Rainbow Dash and let him go from there."

(The lights turn off.)
