Movie Night
Chapter 6: Ten Years Later
Previous ChapterRainbow looked at the picture on her shelf.
It was of her, Soarin, Volleyball Spike, Hoop, Mascaran, Trackee, Racer, Sprinter, Cheerleader, and Helping Paw. They got the chance to hang out over that summer, despite the fact that WeatherFeather tore them apart.
Damn, was that really ten years ago? Rainbow thought. Ten years ago. Rainbow was twenty-four now.
Well, it turned out Racer and Mascaran got married. They were living happily together, and Mascaran is currently three months pregnant. They just bought their own home.
Volley is engaged to MountainHike, a stallion she met in freshman year of high school.
Hoop, she'd really lost contact with, but they talked every once in a while. He was currently dating another mare, whose name Rainbow couldn't remember.
As for Cheerleader, she was also dating a stallion. Same with Trackee, and Helping Paw.
Sprinter, Rainbow had no idea.
And for Soarin, she and him were close.
Soarin visited her often. He got an athletic scholarship and got to become a Wonderbolt. Rainbow did too, but not as quickly. Soarin became one right after high school. It took Rainbow a few years, but now she couldn't be happier where she was.

"Remember our team?" Rainbow Dash asked Soarin as she invited him over to watch a movie.
She pointed at the photo of the ten ponies.
"Haha, yeah. I still remember being in that closet..." Soarin replied.
"That was crazy. I wonder where Northway is now?" Rainbow wondered.
"Probably in jail, or an asylum." Soarin replied, and Rainbow laughed.
"So, the movie. Is it that new horror one?" Soarin asked.
"Yup. You aren't clingy anymore, are you?" Rainbow asked.
"No. That closet." Soarin replied.
Rainbow played the movie. And then...jump scare.
Soarin screamed and clung to Dash.
"I thought you said-" Dash began.
"Sorry." Soarin interrupted her and let go.
Then, five minutes later, jump scare again.
Soarin clung to Rainbow Dash yet again.
This time he didn't let go.
"Soarin, what are you-" Rainbow faced him.
"Oh, hi." Soarin said nervously.
"Hi." Rainbow said, bemused, and confused.
"I um..." Soarin began.
"You?" Rainbow asked, smiling.
Soarin got closer, and Rainbow could feel his hot breath.
"What was that, you were saying? I couldn't hear you." Rainbow said, starting to get the idea.
"I was saying this." Soarin was going in for the kiss.
And then, jump scare.
They both screamed, and clung to each other. Their romantic moment was ruined.
And they laughed.
