*snore* hmmmmm heh heh.............

*snore* Yea thats the spot .............

*snore* yer a naughty one heh heh..........

*snore* *kicks the air gently laughing*

*SPLASH*

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Midnight jumped from his sleeping position on Twilights bed to a prone spot in shock as he was suddenly awakened from his dream by a pail of water being tossed onto him.

"I told you he talks in his sleep." Twilight giggled watching him shiver from the cold water.

"Ah reckon the lil fella won't be talking in'is sleep anytime soon." AJ chuckled putting the bucket down.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Midnight shouted causing them all to laugh.

"I'm sorry Midnight but you were acting rather strange while asleep. I can guess what you were dreaming about though by the way you were talking." Twilight blushed, covering her mouth with a hoof to stifle a giggle.

"Midnight jumped from the bed, slowly trotting between AJ and Twilight, he stopped just before shaking off like a dog, splashing all of the water from his frame onto them.

"HEY!" They shouted at him in unison.

AJ reach down quickly scooping up the little Alicorn and holding him to her chest with both arms, gently nuzzling the top of his head with her cheek as she spoke.

"Awwwww, is the lil fella all grumpy wumpy?" she spoke causing Twilight to giggle loudly. Midnight just staring at Twilight as he spoke.

"You do realize that I will return to normal in a few days AJ, and I am going to make you pay for this." He deadpanned.

"Well then ah better eat up as much'o this as ah can." AJ giggled nuzzling his head even more, only to cause him to sigh in defeat.

"Oh I know, let's play dress up with him." Twilight smirked causing him to gasp.

"Nope! That's where I draw the line." Midnight squeaked out just before teleporting out of AJ's grasp to next to Twilight.

"Awwww, come on. let us girls have some fun with you for a change." Twilight smiled hugging the tiny Alicorn.

"Hmmmmmm. On one condition." Midnight grinned as he began to whisper into Twilights ear. her face turning a crimson red just before shoving the Alicorn away who began laughing.

"I think I'd rather take my chances elsewhere." She squeaked as she turned, heading downstairs.

"What did ya ask'er?" AJ whispered as she trotted up to him.

"Not much, just for her and Rarity to wear their lingerie together and we all have a little fun together once we're adults again." He chuckled getting up from his spot on the floor. AJ began laughing at the remark but stopped once she saw Twilights death stare from downstairs. She leaned down whispering into his ear as soon as Twilight vanished through the kitchen door downstairs.

"Ah wouldn't mind doing that if'n you can get Rainbow or Rarity to do it as well." She giggled blushing a light red as she pulled away from the shocked Alicorn to trot down the stairs. He shook his head to clear the fog before looking to AJ.

"You had better not be teasing me AJ." He smirked only to cause her to laugh.

After cleaning himself up, Midnight had made his way to Rainbow's cloud home to pick her up for their date. It was now Saturday and also the day for the Wonderbolt's show at the Cloudisium in Cloudsdale. He arrived quickly wearing a pair of goggles that the Wonderbolt's wear during their routines. His mane slicked back as if in a permanent wind swept look. He grinned as he entered Rainbow's cloud home giving her a shout.

"Hey RD, You up? It's almost time for the show." He yelled hearing some soft hoofsteps coming down the cloud stairs.

"Yea I'm up. Was just getting a few items to take with us to get signed by the team." RD giggled as she began to pull a large sack of items down the stairs behind her.

"You do realize we can't carry all of that stuff right." Midnight groaned.

"I know, Thats why yer gonna put this into your little portal so we can summon it when we see them backstage." RD smiled widely. Midnight gave a sigh as his horn lit up.

"Only for you Dash." He chuckled as the sack was placed into the portal before it closed. "By the way. Got ya a pair of these." He smirked as he tossed a pair of official Wonderbolt's goggles to RD.

"Sweet........ Wait a sec............ ARE THESE NUMBERED!?" She gasped looking at the numbers along the side of them.

"Eeyup, managed to get number one and number two." He smiled tapping the pair of goggle raised just above his eyes and nodding to RD's pair. She smiled widely as she swooped over picking up the tiny Alicorn and kissing him repeatedly.

"ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!" she poke out quickly causing the pint sized Alicorn to laugh.

"Come on Dash, we need to get going so we can get ahead of the crowd."

"But the show doesn't start for another 4 hours." Dash said looking to her clock and then to the tickets.

"You do realize that ticket holders with the specialty tickets are allowed in the back as soon as the doors open right?" He chuckled causing her face to nearly explode from the smile that she had emitted.

"Then lets go." She squealed happily as she swooped down, grabbing up the Alicorn and bolting out the door to head toward Clousdale.

After roughly ten minutes of flying they had reached the Cloudisium, landing outside near all the other ponies who were waiting to get inside. Dash looked around at all of the ponies that had shown up and was quite surprised. The show had sold out except for the specialty tickets which only two had been purchased. So now Rainbow could kick back and relax while hanging with the Wonderbolt's.

"Hey Dash. follow me." Midnight spoke out, gaining her attention as he flew over the crowd toward the booth he had purchase the tickets from before. About thirty feet away was an entrance guarded by two burly looking Pegasi. He landed in front of them looking up to them. Rainbow landed next to him pulling out her tickets.

"Move along kids. This is the royalty entrance." One of the guards spoke up.

"Ahem." Midnight spoke up looking up to them. They both looking down to the pint sized pony before noticing that he was an Alicorn.

"Nice trick kid. But ah ain't......" He stopped as the other guard began to whisper into his ear.

"Ah sorry bout that. Didn't know Luna had tossed a spell onto ya. You two have a good time." He smiled as the other guard opened the door to let them in.

As the walked through the door it quickly closed behind them. They walked down a long corridor before it branched out into a wide room with door all along the walls. The area in question was like a large circle with another hall on the far side of the room adjacent to the one they were currently walking out of. Five doors were laid out on both sides of the room. A small rainbow water fountain in the center surrounded by cloud benches and four pillars. As Midnight and Dash made there way toward the fountain they could hear talking from one of the open doors to the left side of the room. They made there way over to the door just as Celestia walked out.

"Tia?" Midnight spoke out causing her to snap her attention to the tiny Alicorn, giving a soft chuckle while covering her mouth. "Ugh, go ahead get it out of your system." Midnight groaned causing the princess to laugh a little louder.

"I am sorry Midnight, but seeing you as you are now is rather humoring." Celestia smiled.

"I know, I'm just a barrel of laughs aren't I?" He remarked sarcastically.

"Hey princess." Dash spoke out giving a bow.

"Ms. Dash, what a surprise. I hope Midnight is treating you well today." She smiled.

"Well, he managed to get me a couple tickets to see the Wonderbolt's, It's to bad he is in his current size though. Woulda been nice to flaunt him off during our little date." Rainbow sighed.

"I think I can take care of that." Tia smiled as she turned back to the room she had just come out of. "Luna dear. Would you please come here?" Tia asked just a little louder than her normal voice.

"Sister? What is it?" Luna asked but stopped as she noticed Midnight and Rainbow Dash, then looking back to Tia.

"Would you please remove the spell you cast on Midnight?" Tia smiled causing Luna to sigh in defeat.

"I guess so. But I'm still mad at how you went about teaching me how to talk like a modern pony, and the extent you took on doing so." Luna sighed as her horn lit up releasing Midnight from his spell. He shuddered as he returned to his normal size, then smiled as he wrapped Luna into a hug causing her to squeak in surprise.

"I'm sorry for what I did, But you have to admit. The way you're talking now is so modern, maybe we should schedule another date for other lessons." Midnight smiled but stopped as he noticed Luna's horn glowing again.

"Don't make me turn you pink." She exclaimed with a grin.

"JOKING! Just a joke. No pink please." He back peddled causing the three ladies to laugh. "I do have another question though." He spoke catching their attention again. "Can you release Twilight and Rarity as well? I know they are going to give me hell if I show up like this and they haven't turned back to normal."

"When I returned you to normal just now, the spell was broken on all those who it had been cast on. Don't worry." Luna smiled causing Midnight to give a relieved sigh.

"Thanks Luna." He smiled but his attention was suddenly turned to Rainbow as she gasped out loud. He looked down to see a light blue cloud and rainbow trail at his side leading to one of the doors in the room. Rainbow had seen one of the Wonderbolt's exiting their room and made a break for it to talk to them.

"I guess I had better go keep tabs on Dash. She tends to get clingy when it involves the Wonderbolt's. He chuckled, nodding to the princess' then heading across the room to RD.

"Yes really! OH! Here he is now. Midnight this is Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolt's." Dash smiled as she introduced the two ponies.

"It's a privileged." Midnight smiled nodding to Spitfire.

"It's an honor to finally meet the new Alicorn to arrive in Equestria. Rainbow has told me a lot about you in the three minutes we've spoken." She smirked, getting a giggle out of Rainbow.

Midnight cocked a brow at Rainbow as he spoke. "I hope it's all good." He grinned.

Spitfire smiled as she trotted around Midnight eyeing him up and down. "Mach ten is a feat indeed, and to do that while........ well, you know." She giggled causing Midnights fire mane to burn a bright orange. "Not bad Dash, care if I borrow him sometime?" She smirked causing Midnights jaw to drop only to make them burst out laughing.

"That was evil." Midnight chuckled to Spitfire.

"And why is that?" She asked cocking a brow to the Alicorn.

"You had my hopes up." He grinned causing her jaw to drop this time. Spitfire looking to Dash as she whispered to her.

"Do you guys have that kind of relationship?" she asked causing RD to grin as she whispered back.

"He is engaged and has a mare friend on the side. His partners agreed to leave their relationship open." She giggled causing Spitfire to gawk before smiling.

"Well then." She smiled trotting by the Alicorn and flicking her tail at his nose playfully. "I guess things will get a little more interesting then."

Midnight smirked looking to Dash who just grinned back. "I see why you like the Bolt's so much Dash." Midnight laughed as he trotted after Spitfire.

After locating their seats near the princess', Dash and Midnight sat back as the show began. The Wonderbolt's erupted from the floor of the Cloudisium, trails of lightning filled smoke in there wake. Rainbow was of course cheering loudly, more so than the rest of the ponies all around her. The show began with the Bolt's breaking off into a series of easier stunts that Rainbow had pulled off easily during her training. Midnight noticed the similarities in the tricks from his time watching Dash perform them in front of him. After a few minutes of performing the stunts, they began to get far more complex. Rainbow ooooing and aaaahing at the sight. That was until the Bolt's took a steep dive and began to pull up at the last second.

"This is one of the hardest stunts to pull off Night. The g-force's that are pulled during this will break an untrained ponies wings." Dash began to explain but stopped as a loud snap echoed through the Cloudisium and one of the Wonderbolt began to scream out as they began to fall through the air.

"That's not......" Midnight began but stopped as Rainbow bolted from her seat, just barely catching the Wonderbolt in mid air before he could hit the floor of the Cloudisium. Midnight rushed to her side as she set the Wonderbolt onto the ground who cried out in pain. A hush fell over the crowd as an emergency medical team came over to get the injured pony. The other Bolt's setting down to check on their fallen comrade.

"AAAH! My wing, Its broke." The Wonderbolt cried out as he pulled his goggles from his head and flinging them to the side. tears streaming down his face from the pain. Spitfire came forward giving her friend a nuzzle as she began to speak.

"Guys, it looks like we are gonna have to cancel the show. We can't perform the rest of our tricks without another flier." Spitfire sighed looking down.

"Hang on a sec, what if you had someone who knew your routines and could keep up?" Midnight grinned causing everypony to stop.

"I guess we could continue. But that pony would have to have some serious skill as well as somepony to help back up the claim. I can;t just let any flier join and cause us to look bad." Spitfire spoke up.

"What if that flier had won the best young fliers competition and saved a few ponies in the process?" Midnight grinned again causing Spitfire to realize who he was speaking about. She turned her head to look at Dash who, if smiled any bigger, would give Pinkie a run for her money.

"Heh, suit up Dash. Today your living the dream." Spitfire chuckled as Dash bowled Midnight over giving him a passionate kiss, then vanishing into the locker rooms. Spitfire right behind her.

"O......k..." Midnight spoke in a stunned voice. Everypony around giggling at him.

After a few minutes intervention and Spitfire explaining to Dash about what stunts they needed to perform, the show began. Midnight had found a spot with Celestia and Luna in their private booth as they watched the show. Everypony sat in awe watching the rainbow trail gliding along with the smoke and lightning trails. The show continued on for well over an hour until finally they all landed onto the floor of the Cloudisium, fireworks erupting all around them matching the volume of the crowds cheers. The performance had been an utter success.

Midnight, Celestia, and Luna trotted from their booth down to meet up with the Wonderbolt's and Rainbow Dash. Thy arrived after a couple minutes walk to the entrance of the locker rooms.

"Dash, you did fantastic." Midnight smiled as Dash trotted up to him giving him a kiss.

"I have to admit." Spitfire began as she caught their attention. "Dash, if you ever wanted to become a Wonderbolt, you have my blessing." She smirked causing Dash to beam.

They all stopped however as a doctor trotted over to speak with the team. After a few intense minutes of talking the doctor left, Spitfire trotted up to the small group as she began.

"Well it seems our injured Wonderbolt is going to be out of commission for the next month. If not two. He had a pretty back fracture to his wing and it is going to take a while to heal properly and for him to build up his endurance again. We may have to cancel all of the shows for the next couple months unless we can find somepony willing to take his place as a temporary Wonderbolt." She gave a slight smile as her vision fell onto Rainbow who was just gawking.

"I think that's your cue sugar." Midnight said as he gave her ear a nip knocking her back to reality.

"I...... I would be honored if the Wonderbolt's would accept me, even as a temporary flier." Rainbow smiled as tears streamed down her face.

"It's settled then. Welcome to the Wonderbolt's Rainbow Dash." Spitfire smiled as the crowd roared in the stadium.

"You mean to tell me we were on the loud speakers this whole time?" Rainbow gawked.

"I guess you didn't notice from the afterglow of doing all those stunts with us. No worries. You'll get used to it." Spitfire chuckled as she placed a hoof around her withers and waved to the cheering crowd. The rest of the team along with the royalty joining in with them.

Rainbow looked up to Midnight with a tear dampened face, she silently mouthed the words thank you to him. He smiled in return giving her a wink. This had been by far the best day ever for Dash. The future though, would hold other untold stories. But we can wait for those to pop up in time.
