I wake up to the feeling of Rainbow Dash getting out of bed. I roll over and try to savor the last moments of sleep, pulling the sheets close to my self. Last night was... incredible! I was a little skeptical of using Miles' bed, but Rainbow was right. Something about this bed just make sex... better! We'll have to try it in here again sometime soon, assuming Miles hasn't found out already.

Once Rainbow finishes up in the restroom she comes right back to bed, sticking to her own side as she pulls the sheets closer to herself. I roll back over and position myself beside her, taking this chance to snuggle in full force. She lets out a content sigh as our bodies relax against each others. I still can't get over how trim she is after Spartan training. At first I thought it was a little weird, but... I'm kind of liking it now. She may have the rough exterior, but she'll always be my mare....

My mare.

Dammit, why do these thoughts have to come to mind every morning. I know we both would like to, or at least I do... but, the timing isn't right. She just got a her job as Spartan and still has her other one, not to mention her being a bearer. We barely get to spend time together as it is... but...

I still want to marry her.

"Ermm... morning stud." She groans as she rolls over and rests her forehead against mine. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah... you?" I ask as I begin to run a hoof along her side.

"Mhmm... are we still in Miles' bed?" She asks, keeping her eyes shut as she teeters on the brink of sleep. She may be a Spartan, but somethings will never change.

"Yeah... we should get going before he finds us here." I whisper back to her.

"Naw, if it's already morning and we're still here then he already found us. We can stay a bit longer." She says as she lazily opens her eyes. I continue to look on as I get lost in her beauty. I sometimes can't believe how lucky I am to be with her. And to think this all started because I found her during training pleasuring herself. I didn't think an actual relationship could start like that, but here we are. "You're chuckling, what's so funny?"

"I was just thinking about our first time." I say, getting her to roll her eyes.

"I swear, your minds just stuck in sex mode isn't it?"

"I can't help it, it's in my blood." I joke, getting her to just sigh and look into my eyes. "Rainbow... I... I wanted to... to..."

"Wait." She says as she looks out the window. "What time is it?"

"Almost seven...." I say. The gears in both our heads click at the same time as we jump out of bed.

"SCOOTALOO!" We both yell as we begin to...

"Wait, isn't it winter break for her?" I ask, stopping Rainbow from leaping out the window. We look back to one another before laughing. I can't believe we both forgot that.

"She'll probably want to sleep in at the Apple's place for a bit longer, we should head home and wash up before getting her." Dash says as she opens the door. She motions to me to be quiet as she tip hooves her way to the stairs. I watch her for a second before walking after her, getting her shove me a bit. "We need to be quiet!"

"Why?"

"We don't want to wake anypony up!"

"I'm pretty sure if they could sleep through what we did last night they can..."

"SOARIN!" She yelps as she tries to cover my muzzle up. "We need to get going... I still have work..." She mumbles as we wrestle a bit before tumbling down the the rest of the stairs.

THUD

I land, hard, flat on my back...

"UF!" I gasp as Rainbow lands right on top of me, probably intentionally.

"Soarin, be careful." She says with a chuckle as she lays back on top of me and gives me a light kiss. She tries to get up but I grab her wing joints to hold her in place, feeling their new strength rather impressive. After some struggling, and sexy giggles, she finally lays back on top of me and kisses me again.

"Wanna go again?" I whisper into her ear as I pull hard on her wings.

"Sooooaarin. I have work later." She groans as she grinds into me.

"Come on, it's my last day here. Just call in sick or something." I tell her as I start planting kisses on her neck. She just giggle a bit as she tries to get form my grasp. I try to keep her down, but when she stood up and brought me with her... yeah. Did I mention she's gotten a lot stronger recently? "Hehe, try to leave with some Stallion dignity, and maybe you'll get some later."

"Pfft.... really?" I ask as I let go of her and stand up. She just rolls her eyes and begins to walk out, pulling me along. We make it out underneath her home and begin to fly up, only making it halfway when Rainbow realizes something.

"I don't have my keys." She says as she looks back to Miles' house.

"Then lets go ge..."

"We can't go back! Miles has probably found the mess we left last night and might be pissed!"

"... What mess?" I ask as I try to think back. Rainbow just stares at me for a second before I put one and one together. "It'll wash out..."

"Yeah, but he'll still be mad that it was there. In his bed." She says as she continues on her way home. I follow her up and take a lap around, looking for an open window to get through. Of course there aren't any. After the whole indecent with her book shes been locking this place down like a prison.

"Why don't we just break open the cloud wall? I mean... they're just clouds." I offer as I land beside her.

"You going to fix the hole in the wall?"

".... well... I've tangled with clouds before, how hard could it be."

"Soarin, making cloud walls is different then making standard clouds. They have to be thicker and able to resist any weather while being light enough to stay air born. I don't know how to make them, and I know you don't." She says as she tries the door, finding it locked. It's true, I can barely manipulate clouds as it is, making walls would be impossible for me.

"Well... know any friends that'll lend us their shower?"

"Hmm.... lets try Fluttershys'!" She says as she walks to the edge of the cloud. We take off together as we head for her friends place. Like all things, Rainbow turns it into a race. I just smile along as we soar through the air getting to our destination in mere seconds. "I WIN!" Rainbow yells as we land.

"No way! I got here way before you did!" I argue getting her to get in my face.

"Are you kidding! I was here WAY before you were!"

"Face it honey, this Wonderbolt beat you to it." I say with smug look. Rainbow steps back and nods a chuckles to herself a bit. That... may have been a bit too harsh.

"A Wonderbolt huh?" She says as she begins to walk around me.

"Sorry Rainbow, I didn't mean any..."

"No, no. You said it. A WONDERBOLT beat me here, supposedly." She says as she saunters back in front of me.

"Uh... y-yeah."

"Maybe we should put that title to the test then? How about it? A Wonderbolt against a Spartan Jumper." She says as she squares off with me.

"A... what?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you? Yeah, the Spartan regiment has a section with flight at its heart. The Spartan Jumpers. During training Miles said I get to take lead on this group as its lieutenant. So, how about a little challenge then? In respect to Spartan Pride, I challenge you, the Wonderbolts, to a test of test of air superiority. Races, wing strength, whatever you wish to test us in we will gladly except... and win."

"... are you serious?"

"You bet we are." She says with her game face on.

"Um... OK. I'll talk to Spitfire and see when we can get an opening for your challenge... you realize that I will be competing against you, right?"

"Yeah, I know. If you're as fast in the are as you are in bed, then I'll be worried." She says with a playful smirk as she goes to the door.

"Hey... I..." I try to make a comeback... buck me over. I can't make one. "You still come back for more." I grumble under my breath as I walk up beside her. Big Mac answers the door and eyes me a bit. I just smile back as the larger stallion seems to glare at me. What did I do?

"Heya Big Mac, heading out to work the fields?" Rainbow asks, getting his attention.

"Eeyup."

"Cool, do you think we could borrow..."

"Big Mac who is, oh! Good morning Rainbow, Soarin." Fluttershy says as she joins Big Mac at the door. "What brings you here so early?"

"Heh, I accidentally locked us out of my house. Think we could steal your shower real quick?" Rainbow asks.

"Of course, come on in." Fluttershy says as she steps aside. We walk in as Fluttershy gives Big Mac a kiss goodbye, telling him to have a good day on the farm.

"Hey Big Mac!" Rainbow calls out, getting him to pause at the door. "Yours and Storms' challenge, did it. And... yeah. It was awesome." Big Mac just nods and leaves... what was that about? What challenge?

"Oh... my." Fluttershy mumbles as her cheeks begin to turn red. "Well... uh, you know where its at. I have to start feeding my animals so if you need anything feel free to ask." She says before grabbing a basket and running outside. What was that about... what do they know?

"You coming or not?" Rainbow asks as she trots up the stairs.

"I don't know Dash... this is someponys house..."

"So you can do it in Miles' house but not Shys'?" She asks from the top of the stairs.

"Well... *sigh* true." I say with a shrug as I run up after her.

We rush into the shower and immediately begin to make out, almost forgetting to turn the water on. She forces me back against the wooden edge and forces me to sit and lean back so she can in my lap. As I wrap my arms around her she rests hers on my shoulders as she begins to dominate the kiss, pushing her tongue into my mouth and swirling it around. I just latch onto it and begin to suck, pulling her up a bit as I line myself up with her.

"Just a quicky and then we get Scootaloo." She says as she falls back onto me. Quickly pushing herself up again only to go right back down.

"Just once? Not eight or nine times?" I joke as I grind into her. She just rolls her eyes as she continues to bob up and down. I begin to nip on the base of her neck as I try to push myself as deeply as possible. Rainbow groans into my mane as she tightens her arms around my neck, slowing her movements to enjoy my mouth work. I lift her up and lay her down, taking a moment to admire her beauty. The water running down her out stretched wings as her coat darkens from the shower head...

"Heh... you OK?" She asks with a playful nudge.

"I'm just trying to find a way a through your beauty." I say, immediately finding it overly cheesy.

"Even.... even with how I changed?" She asks as she looks away from me. I stare at her for a second before I force her to look back to me. We stare at one another before I lean down and plant a soft kiss on her lips.

Then another.

I move for another one but hesitate for a second to look back into her eyes.

"What changes? You're still the mare I love." Again, cheesy. But this one I actually mean. I lean in and kiss her as I lower my body against hers, gently pushing myself back inside. I take it slow as we hold our lips against each others, half kissing half breathing. She reads the signs of my approaching orgasm and rolls us over, quickly standing up and turning around before laying on top of me. I gasp as I feel her lips wrap around the tip of my member, squeezing her muscular flanks as she swishes her tongue along the opening. I try to hold on, but after a couple rather forceful presses of her tongue I thrust forward as I hit my release. She stiffens up at first but quickly pulls back to let the rest of my release fall out.

"Thanks for the help at the end." She says bitterly as she stands up, wiping her face clean.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted." I apologies as I stand up. We quickly finish washing up and drying each other off before heading back down the stairs. We try to find Fluttershy to thank her, but she's no where to be found. Odd, but Rainbow shrugs it off. Saying that she probably had to go help some of her animal friends.

We take off for Sweet Apple Acres! We're a little short on time so we fly as quickly as possible there, not even having enough time to turn it into a race. Once we make it to there Rainbow immediately begins to frantically knock on the door, she might be a little late today...

"Hold yer horses Imma commin." Applejack says from inside before opening the door. "Dash? Sorry but Scootaloo left earlier ta go crusading with her friends." She says as she steps out. "Have ya seen Big Mac?"

"He left Fluttershys place a while ago, do you know what they were going to try? Because it was suppose to be just me and her today." Rainbow asks, looking slightly worried.

"Ah make it a point not ta know what they try. Last ah heard it involved a large rubber band, Miles' wolf, and a large tree.... yea, not something ah want ta know but ah'm sure I will eventually. Sorry, but ah have ta get ta the market now. See ya." She says she begins to trot off. Rainbow just sighs and walks off, looking a bit down.

"Dash." I call out as I catch up with her. "Whats up?"

"*sigh* I don't know. It seems like every time I get something planned everything else just gets in the way. I try to take Scootaloo to Cloudsdale, Miles needs me to go to Topaz. I try to go to her little school race, I end up working all night trying to get the fog out of the park. I try to spend as much of a day with her..."

"And I make you late for picking her up." I say, getting her to look me in the eyes.

"Soarin..."

"Look, go to work. I'll find Scootaloo and take her home, then we can have our day together. After all of that... we need to talk." I say quietly. Dash looks as if she's about to cry, but flies off before I could do anything to comfort her. I watch her fly off a bit before sighing and walking off. Why do things have to be so complicated? You meet a nice mare, get married, have a foal, then life moves on... right?

As I trek through the snow towards Ponyville I notice a tall tree bending over as I large band pulls it over. Curious, I jump into the air and fly over to get a better look. Below the tree the Cutie Mark Crusaders wait as a wolf pulls on a large rubber band, bending the tree over to the ground. Once it's to their desired angle Scootaloo takes a seat in the WHAT THE BUCK DOES SHE THICK SHE'S DOING!?!?!?

SNAP

I take off as quickly as possible as Scootaloo flings through the air. I slowly gain on the tumbling little filly, reaching out for her as I try to catch her. I feel a tinge of pain as the cold air stings against my wings, but I ignore it as I push myself even faster to try and catch her, seeing the ground quickly approach...

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH

I hit the ground hard as I slide forward, attempting to catch Scootaloo. When I finally come to a stop I just lay there, unsure if I caught her or not. My chest feels as if I ran a cheese grater against it, but I try to ignore it as I attempt to look up, finding it hard to do so. I can feel something warm pooling beneath me... that's probably not good...

"Mmm... Soarin?" I open my eyes see Scootaloo laying atop my hooves, unharmed. "Please don't tell Mom."

"Scoots..." I say before passing out, the pain on my chest being too great.

.................................................................................................................................................................

I jolt awake as a sudden wave of energy courses through my body. I look around to find myself in Twilights house as Miles has his hands against my chest. I look around to see a mare I've never seen before, Twilight, Storm Cloud, and the girls all watching me closely. Scootaloos eyes are red a puffy; she's been crying a lot obviously as she holds onto Twilights leg.

"Welcome back." Miles says as he shuts off his magic.

"Huh?" I ask as I sit up. Trying to peace everything together.

"I said welcome back." Miles says as he sits back. "You know, I've never had a chance to work on a heart before, but then again, I never knew anyone who would land on a branch like that."

"A... branch?" I ask as I look down to my chest, finding it perfectly intact.

"Yup, when you caught Scootaloo you had a branch stab you in the chest and nearly ripped out your heart. Congratulations, you were technically dead for about sixteen minutes."

".... what?" I ask quietly as I look around the room. I.... died? No... I just hit the ground really hard... I couldn't have died.

"Yup. I nearly called it too, but after some persuasion I gave it another go, and here you are. You're welcome." I take another look around the room before standing up, find my legs fairly weak.

"Thanks... can everypony give us a second... I'd... I'd like to talk to Miles real quick." Everypony nods and leaves, Twilight having to carry Scootaloo out. Once we're alone I let out a deep sigh before looking back to Miles. "So... thank you, again. I..."

"Hey, you saved Scootaloo from stupidity. In my book that earns a bit of respect. I know we had our... little..."

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yeah. But I know now what kind of man you are now, and I can respect you. Now what's on your mind?"

"Well... it's a little off but... your Rainbow Dashes Captain right?" I ask, getting a slow nod from him. "OK... well, in light of todays event, I realize that waiting is stupid. Can I have your blessings to marry Rainbow Dash?" He looks a little taken back from this, but I keep my confidence up as I wait for his answer.

"Uh.... why would you need my... blessings?"

"... you're her Captain. She's your Lieutenant... right?"

"Well... yes no. Spartans only has five positions. There are the standard Privates, Lieutenants, Captains, then Grand Lieutenants and Captains. Our cites were separated, so we had individual cells. But over all we followed our two leaders, who out ranked all the others. Standard Captains were also called city Captains and only could order the soldiers in their city. So she is, but Storm is my grand Lieutenant so I delegate my orders to him first. As for the whole marriage thing, she can marry whoever she wants. You don't need my support, though you have it after today."

"... so yes then?" I ask with a smile.

"Sure?" Miles states as if its a question, looking slightly confused. "Look, just keep Scootaloo away from catapults and keep Dash happy and I won't give two shits either way. Now if you excuse me, I need to get going." He says as he stands and begins to leave.

"Wait! Do I have to do anything, the whole heart thing and all?" Miles stops and looks back for a second before walking back and giving me a glass of water from the night stand.

"Drink that and two more, then you're good. Do what you please." He says as he goes back to leaving.

"That's it? I was stabbed in the heart, should I take...."

"Nope! Be normal and whatever." Miles yells back.

"But... how?"

"Magic bitch!" He yells as he takes the stairs down, passing Rainbow Dash.

"SOARIN!" She yells as she runs towards me, carrying Scootaloo with one arm. We collide as she grabs me in a one arm hug, kissing me all over my face. "Twilight told me everything... *kiss* are you OK? *kiss* do you need any help moving or anything? *kiss* do you need...."

"Dash, I'm alright." I say as I hug her back. "Miles fixed me up, says I can do whatever." I say as I lightly push her back. I look down to Scootaloo and wait for her to look up to me. "You alright squirt?" She doesn't answer me, she just breaks out in tears as she jumps into my hooves. I hold her lightly as I rock side to side, comforting her as I motion to Dash to give us a moment. She nods and gives me one final kiss on the lips before leaving.

"I-I'm so sorry... I didn't think that would happen... I-I was j-just trying to get my dumb cutie mark..."

"It's alright. I understand." I say quietly as I begin to stroke her mane.

"I... I didn't mean for you to get hurt, honest! I... I... I'm sorry Soarin." She says as she breaks down. I look back to the stairs to make sure nopony is listening before I lean close to her ear.

"Well... you can call Soarin for a bit longer, but soon I hope you'll call me Dad." I tell her. She looks up to me and wipes her eyes a bit.

"W-what?"

"You heard me. I want to be your Dad and... well, don't tell anypony, but I'm going to ask Rainbow Dash to marry me soon." I tell her. She wipes her eyes a bit more before a massive smile takes over her face.

"Really!?"

"You betcha."

"YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES! Dash and Soarin, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first come love, then comes marriage then... then comes..... EW! EWEWEWEWEWEWEW BLECH! AW SICK!" She yells as she tries to shake the images from her head. I just laugh as I pick her up and hug her, though she's still freaking out.

"Yeah, eventually you'll be a big sister. Assuming she says yes to having a foal... and my proposal... She'd say yes... right?"

"I think she would." Rainbow says from the doorway with a sly smile.

"MOM! You ruined the surprise!" Scootaloo yells at her as she walks up to me, both of us staring into each others eyes, smiling contently.

"That's alright." I says as she stops, mere inches between our lips. "Yes?"

"Yes."

"I don't have anything right now..."

"Oh then its a no." Rainbow says she sticks her tongue out at me.

"You can't propose without a ring Soarin, it's not romantic." Scootaloo whispers to me, getting a nod from Dash as she snickers a bit.

"Well then, I'll just have to get a ring then, wont I?" I say with a massive smile as I walk with Rainbow towards the stairs. SHE BUCKING SAID YES! WOOOOOOOO! We walk out to the front room of the library where we find Miles, Storm and Twilight in a heated debate.

"... it would be best not to wait! We know where to go, why are we waiting?" Storm argues.

"Because most of you still have lives to attend to. The Apples have the farm, Dash has her weather job, Shy has her animal friends and rarity has a business to run. We can't ignore those..."

"Miles, those will always be there for us to come back to... you though..."

"Twilight." The pegasus mare says from the kitchen table. "Hearth Warming Eve is in four days..."

"That leaves us three days to make a run to the next town." Storm defends. "Miles, we can't just wait forever. Lets get this out of the way now before something big comes up." Storm says as he squares off with Twilight. Miles rubs his chin a bit as he walks around the room, thinking to himself.

"Captain." Rainbow says as she steps forward. "I agree with them. We have more Spartans now, we can do this more quickly now. We need to focus on finishing these cities before something big distracts us." Miles nods to her and pulls out a necklace from under his sweater. He looks around the room before holding it tightly, making it, as well as Storms', vibrates.

"This is a message to all Spartans participating in the next city, we're moving out tomorrow."

...............................................................................................................................................................

Dash and I slowly walk out of Scootaloos rooms, closing the door slowly. The poor thing was out in seconds after the long day she had. Dash and I move to the front room where we collapse on the couch, being drained from the millions of questions Scoot had. I roll over and pull Dash close so her back is against my stomach, still beaming from her answer.

"So... my fiancee, this is my last night here, after this I'll be leaving early. Scoots in bed. Its the night before a dangerous mission...."

"Yeah, sounds like perfect napping conditions." Rainbow jokes.

"Yeah.. or..."

"Or?" She asks as she turns back to me, smiling contently. I lean forward and kiss her lips as I move to be on top. She opens up as I push my tongue inside her mouth, meeting her tongue to start our little saliva dance. As we continue to make out, our hooves begin to explore each others bodies. Playing with each others wings, rubbing our chests and stomachs, Dash rubbing my cock against her entrance. I pull back to watch her face as I push inside her, seeing her eyes brighten up with lust.

I go back to kissing her as I move my hips back and forth, hilting myself within her and pulling back to the entrance. I lose myself in the moment as I begin to thrust as hard as I can, grabbing her side for better support. She tries to tell me to slow it down, but it was to late for that. Right before my climax I pulled out and aimed it aside, shooting my load through the cloud floor and I thrust against her body.

"Soarin.... why is your first load always so quick?" Dash pants as I begin to calm down.

"If I knew that my first load would stop being so fast." I joke as I plant soft kisses along her body. "Ready for more?" I ask, my member still being stiff.

"Lets take this to the room." Rainbow says. I help her up before we both make our way to the room, trying to keep as quiet as possible as we pass Scoots room. Once the close the door behind us we immediately begin to make out again, fumbling our way to the bed again.

This time Dash pushes me onto my back and gets on top, having me enter her quickly. She gets to riding me as I just lay there, resting my hooves on her hips. I do miss how her mane used to bounce when it was longer, but it'll grow back. For now I'll just enjoy the ride. After a few minutes of rough riding, I push her off to shoot my load. She quickly moves over to help jerk me off. Once I I finish she takes my member into her mouth and begins to assault it with her mouth. Immediately I can feel the stiffness returning, so I pull her backside over to return the favor.

"BUCK!" I yell as I hit my third orgasm, Rainbow Dash swallowing all of my seed with vigor. Once done, we take a small break to catch our breathes,cuddling each other closely.

"Soarin..."

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing for Hearths Warming Eve?"

"Don't know... Wonderbolts may have another charity event to do. I'll try to make it here afterwards though." I say as she nuzzles my neck.

"Good, ready for more?" She asks. I just laugh as I roll her over and press myself against her tail hole. She looks back a bit worried but doesn't protest so I ease myself inside. It's definitely a lot tighter in here, I love it. I get to humping her backside, taking it easy at first. We've done this once before, so I don't want to hurt her. We didn't have any lubricants, so I wait until all of my pre-cum does the job before picking up the pace. Dash grunts underneath me as she lays her head on the bed, staring back at me as I continue to pound her back side.

"So.... tight." I grunt as I lay myself against her, reaching out to hold her hooves. She mumbles something as she begins to quiver beneath me. I think she really likes it...aw buck... without warning I hit my next orgasm, hard. "Well...."

"Shit." Rainbow sighs in pleasure. "Want more?" I look down to my eager member and chuckle a bit. I love this mare.

.............................................................................................................................................................

I wake up early in the morning feeling sore, tired, and awesome. We set a new record, twelve times. I take a quick shower before kissing Dash on the forehead and leaving her room, sparring one last glance towards her sleeping form before shutting the door. I make sure to check on Scootaloo before leaving the house...

"Sup Soarin."

"BUCK!" I yell as I nearly fall over. "Lightning Dust? What are you doing here?"

"Spitfire sent me to pick you up. She had a feeling you'd be here so..."

"I was going to make it on time, I don't need some private to try and act superior to me." I snap back as I head to the edge of the cloud.

"Actually, we have a mission in the Bears Soviet Republic for a mission." She tells me as she walks up behind me.

"But... Hearths Warming Eve..."

"Will have to wait. Now lets go." She says as she takes off. I look back to Dashs house before following after her. I'm sorry Dash. We'll have to wait a bit longer before it's just me and you.
