Among the smoldering ruins of the Gala, ponies were trying to piece together what information they could as to how the most regal and formal event of the year was destroyed by a handful of ponies. However two pegasi were not among them, the wonderbolts Spitfire and Soarin.

Soarin sat staring at the tendrils of steam drifting up from the star-bucks coffee mug set before him, he sighed deeply as a flame colored mare sat in the seat before him. Spitfire was shocked by the behavior of her normally ecstatic team mate. "Come on Soarin." She said, "What's got you in a mood to rival the mental breakdown of Luna". "I cant get her out of my mind!" He said, "Her rainbow mane, rose eyes, and flying skills to boot. I... I've had crushes before but this... this is more."

Soarin sighed and returned to staring at the mug of bitter liquid in his hooves. 'Wow', She thought to herself 'He really likes her...' Suddenly she was distracted by a brown pony stumbling into the store. He exhaled what appeared to be a cloud of golden mist but she wrote it off as a trick of the light. He babbled about how he wasn't a 'ginger' and sat in a booth towards the back and promptly fell asleep.

Spitfire turned around and found Soarin completely ignoring a piece of pie which shook her to her very core. Soarin was near pie and it wasn't being devoured. That did it, she knew if he was too depressed to eat even his favorite food, something had to be done. Deep in thought, Spitfire looked and was shocked to see an alicorn walk out of a donuts shop and disappear in a flash of light, leaving behind her a group of mares one of which was a blue rainbow maned pegasus. Seeing her chance, she piped up "Yo, Soarin, if you wanted to talk to her, there she is. Oh, and there being a one week holiday for the bolts why don't you take a small visit to Ponyville and.... scout out potential recruits."

Soarin looked so happy she thought he might break out into song then and there. "Thank you!" He managed to squeak out before barreling out the door. Laughing to herself Spitfire noticed the pony from earlier use some strange devise to open the back door and slip out. She followed him carefully noticing his wings as he disappeared into a strange blue box. catching the door with her hoof Spitfire eased into the box after him. Shortly afterward the box vanished with a few noises and a small wind.

Rainbow Dash, still minorly upset from the nights events, said farewell to her friends, and trotted off. Turning around she came face to face with a wide eyed Soarin. After the initial shock of meeting her hero again, she managed to say "H-hey S-s-soarin." Suddenly realizing what he was doing, he became very shy and said "Hey D-dash" looking down at his hooves. "Would you ummm", he stammered "Like to hang out sometime tomorrow?" resisting the urge to tackle him from sheer excitement, "Ohmygod yes!" she squealed. Beaming from ear to ear "Sooo tomorrow at your place?" He inquired. "Sure thing Soarin." Dash said. Excitedly the two pegasi flew off in opposite directions both looking forward to spending the day with their crush.

Rainbow Dash woke up her eyes crusted over by sleep rubbed her face and groggily opened her eyes. She snuggled up under the covers, then memory returning to her sleepy mind shot out of bed. Today a wonderbolt no her favorite wonderbolt was going to hang out with her. She ran downstairs and rapidly eating some breakfast, hopeful images of the day floating in her head.

Soarin rushed to Rainbow Dash's house a goofy grin plastered on his face. he wanted this day to be perfect so he had planned the entire day out. He trotted up to her door marveling at the size and beauty of the house, as he pressed the doorbell he received an unexpected shock.

Dash heard the bell ring along with a small cry of surprise. She ran to the door and threw it open saying, " oh my gosh I'm so sorry I completely forgot about the bell. I set it up to shock my friend but i cant seem to fix it." She looked down out of shame and nervousness that he would be mad at her for not warning him.

Soarin was in fact not mad and couldn't stand to see the mare in such distress. He laughed to release the tension saying "I can just see the look on her face!" A relieved Dash smiled at him and him with such grace and beauty that Soarin thought his heart would melt. She giggled and waved a hoof for him to come inside. His heart stopped beating for a few seconds, `she's the one` he thought, `she is the one i have waited my entire life for nothing but her matters consequences be damned I'm gonna try,`

They spent the day showing off their tricks and, more often than not admiring each others bodies. Soarin saw the beauty and grace of Rainbow's form covered in lean muscle and gracious curves. Dash noticed Soarin's stocky build and chiseled features with well toned muscle covering every inch of his body.Eventually they flew down to Sugar Cube corner and split an order of hay fries. As the day drew on they talked to each other about nothing in particular, Rainbow about her friends and there misadventures and Soarin bout his time with the wonderbolts.

Later as the sun began to set they started back towards Dash's house. A storm raged in the distance and soon enough they were battling the elements. `Damn it Derpy` dash thought to herself `every time she's the weather captain we end up with a huge storm on our hooves.

Soarin landed on the cloud porch at Rainbow's house and looked back for her. He spotted her a few feet away closing in on the cloud house, suddenly a bright flash of light struck the mare. He watched in horror as she plummeted towards the earth bellow. Without thinking he jumped forward and flew after the blue lump hurling down to the unforgiving forest bellow. He caught her in his hooves and furiously beat his wings in a futile attempt to slow their dissent, then nothing.

He awoke in a hospital bed a doctor examining his head. He leaped to his hooves looking around frantically, "where is she where is Rainbow Dash?" he asked a startled medical pony.

"In the next room but sir"... That was all he stayed to hear before leaping out of bed flying to the room next to his. As he entered he saw a disheveled and scratched up Dash unconscious an I.V. in her left arm. He landed next to her and brushed a stray bit of her mane from her face.

Dash opened her eyes and saw a blue stallion looking down at her with worry in his eyes. When he saw her open her eyes his face was washed with relief and another emotion, the word slipped her grasp. "Soarin", she said breathless. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips and after the few seconds of initial shock she kissed him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him deeper into the kiss, love... that is what she saw in his eyes Soarin her crush for years was in love with her. A dream come true.

They were blushing deeply when they arrived at her house. Barely making up the stairs without falling lips locked, they crashed into Dashes bed. Soarin was on top looking down at her, "are you ok with this?" He asked a hint of nerviness creeping into his voice.

"what?" Dash asked "you act like you haven't done this before".

Soarin blushed "i haven't this would be my first time. What have you?"
Dash turned the same shade of red "No not exactly. Your my first, so umm." He silenced her with a kiss positioning himself above her, his member was fully out of its sheath. He gingerly inserted himself into her, his penis had barely pushed himself into her when she cried out. he began to withdraw when she opened her tightly shut eyes and said, "No keep going."

He re-inserted himself in her and began to push. Her vaginal tract squeezed around his erect member making it hard to proceed but he kept going. Dash continued to let out the occasional cry but tried not to so to not worry Soarin. Her friends said that it would hurt her first time but she wasn't expecting this, she knew pain and this was somehow so new to her. Finally he was fully seated inside her, a feeling of euphoria spread over them. They reveled in the pleasure of being one in heart and flesh.

Soarin began to thrust in and out of her. The pain from earlier had left behind a soreness but that was nothing compared to the pleasure she was receiving. his thrusts steadily growing in force and speed Dash gasped and held onto the stallion, moaning in unison they both grew more and more aroused reaching their climax.

When it came they both cried out as Soarin came inside her, liquid fire ran into her as she unleashed a torrent of juices from her clit. his member throbbed again and again until it began to slow. Spent he collapsed next to Dash who was equally as tired as him, they locked lips again muttering their affections to each other. they fell asleep snuggled up next to each other exhausted and thoroughly in love.

The week flew past the two pegasi in a blur of fun, laughs, and love. Twilight had found and rescued a strange stallion by the name of Naga from the everfree forest but after a small mishap in the library she decided to leave them alone preferring the company of her new buckfrend. the two pegasi reveled in the others company doing nearly everything together unable to stay parted for more than a few minutes.

The day came when Soarin had to return to Wonderbolts HQ in order to prepare for the next show. unable to think of spending an extended period of time without his mare he sent word to Spitfire that he would be inducting Rainbow Dash as a new member of the Bolts. She knew that it would be met with some resistance but that the team would warm up to her after a quick demonstration of her skills.

Dash was ecstatic, she nearly killed the pair of them tackling Soarin off the cloud they were on barely managing to fly before they hit the ground. They took a train ride to Canterlot in order to spend some "alone" time together. The train pulled into the station with a grinding squeal, the pair trotted out and hailed a cab. On the way Dash fell asleep on Soarin's shoulder snoring softly. 'how did I ever live without her, imagining a life without her is like imagining a world without happiness or sunshine', Soarin thought to himself.

The cab pulled up to the enormous estate the Wonder Bolts used as a base of operations and training facility. He payed the cabby and reluctantly woke Dash up. "Up and at em" he whispered to her, she stared up at him magenta eyes looking sleepily into his and smiling. Had anypony other than him had woken her she would have taken their head off, but this was Soarin her buckfriend and lover stallion.

They trotted up to the large doors and Soarin pressed a small button and spoke into it "hea Joey let us in will ya?". a mechanical clank and a few clicks later the large embroidered door swung inward.

"Long time since I've seem this place" Dash said dreamily.

"Wait you've been here before?" Soarin asked.

"Yes when my parents were killed the old captain adopted me and raised me. That's part of why I aspired to become one, to honor him." She said holding back tears. Soarin put a hoof around her shoulder and held her tightly nuzzling her mane. The two flew through the massive rec-room and out to the practice field.

"Hea Soarin, Rainbow Dash over here!" a flame colored pegasus called waving a hoof excitedly. They went over to where Spitfire was beckoning. As they approached a group of pegasi came over and greeted them. After introductions that were completely unnecessary seeing as how Dash already knew every members name by heart she readied herself to show them her stuff.

"Aright lets see what ya got kid" Spitfire said then with an authoritative voice shouted "begin!" Dash took to the air leaving a trail of color behind her. She began to recite the routine she and Soarin had prepared on the train ride. She expertly preformed some of the wonderbolts more complicated maneuvers and a few of her own invention.

Halfway through she began to feel dizzy but pushed on not wanting to blow her chance with her idols. But as she reached the top of a loop spots swam before her eyes and she blacked out. Soarin realizing she was in danger instantly jumped up and flew up after her. He caught her about halfway to the ground and proceeded to glide down to the set of doors on the other side of the field.

A few minutes later in the Bolts personal medical room an exhausted Dash was leaning back in a hospital bed while Soarin held her hoof. Spitfire and a brown pegasus wearing a trench coat came into the room, handing Dash a bottle of water and a bottle of pills he smiled. "Well is she ok?" Soarin asked worried.

"As a fiddle" the strange foreign sounding pony said.

"then what happened out there to me? I've done those tricks about Mff..." Dash said as he shoved a piece of candy into her mouth.

"Jelly baby," the odd stallion said "great for the nerves and as for your fainting" he waved a small device over her and it glowed a slight green making an odd whirring sound then looking at it " just as I thought, your pregnant! Congratulations!" The sweet chew-able candy fell out of her agape mouth. Ignoring her he proceeded "those are vitamins they'll help with the morning sickness and give the b-filly all the nutrients to be healthy" he then put another Jelly baby into her mouth and shut it repeating the process with Soarin.

As the pair chewed their treats in stunned silence Spitfire chimed in with "even though you passed out the team was impressed by your moves and we decided that after the little one comes along you will be inducted as a part of the team, welcome aboard!" The Dr. as he called himself and Spitfire said goodbye and left the pair to discuss the recent events.

Dash looked over at Soarin with huge eyes and squealed "I'm gonna be a mother,oh soarin were gonna have a filly!"

Soarin looked into her eyes end said "yes, yes we are and I was gonna ask you later but now seems like the perfect moment to ask, Dash" he got down on his knees and pulled out a band, "will you marry me?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Rainbow Dash said and pulled him in for a big kiss "I love you Soarin"

"And I love you Dashie" he purred. and together they sat kissing each other not a single thought of worry in their heads, because if this wasn't love than they didn't want a part of it. Some ponies might say they rushed into thing but thats what they do, rush in and make the best of it, and they did.
