“Look at them! Can you see it?” Cloudchaser said, nudging her teammate Snowflake.

The muscular pony looked at what she was pointing at but he only saw Spitfire and Soarin arguing, something that happened often. Almost a routine, you could say.

“I don´t see it,” he said.

“How can you not see that these two are meant for each other? They are definitely the perfect couple and I can see something going on there…” the mare insisted but Snowflake still saw nothing. “Seems they haven´t even realized yet either. Ahh, wouldn´t be wonderful if they finally confess their feelings for each other and accept their love?”

“Why do you keep insisting with this? I don´t see how is any of your business,” Snowflake said.

“Well, it is my business! It´s my captain and my favourite Wonderbolt, I wanted them to be happy!” Cloudchaser said, looking a little offended.

“And are you sure that getting together will make them happy?”

“Sure it will! Ié been following those two careers since I was a filly. I can totally tell they´ve harboring a crush for each other for years but never allow it to be expressed!”

“...you are starting to scare me.”

“Oh, don´t be a coward! Now help me push that raincloud. Once we get them wet, they will stop arguing and start laughing and then they will lock their eyes and…”

Snowflake psuhed Cloudchaser before she get lost in another of her romantic ramblings. He wasn´t too sure about this plan but he did wanted Spitfire and Soarin to stop yelling at each other. He admired them both and liked them better when they were working together and not when they were arguing about the cadets performance.

Working together, they moved the rain cloud over their heads and made it rain. The idea was too quickly hide and watch them reconcile forma safe spot. Too bad they forgot that not only that Soarin and Spitfire were the fastest ponies in the academy and could catch them before they could hide; but also that Snowflake wasn´t very good at hiding.

“Sorry,” Snowflake said, with half his body sticking from the bush they were trying to hide behind.

“This time it will work!” Cloudchaser announced, hovering next to Spitfire´s office.

“Are you sure about this?” Snowflake asked, holding a box

“Yes! Trust me, we only need to create a situation and when that situation causes an awkward pause, bam! Spitfire will finally lower her defenses and allow Soarin to ask the question! I´s a flawalles plan!”

“You get that from a romance novel, right?”

“Shu-shut up and handle me the pies!”

While Cloudchaser placed the pies in the door of Spitfire´s office, Snowflake saw two other female cadets passing by. He tried to act cool so they wouldn't figure out what they were doing. When Cloudchaser got out of the windows, the cadets giggled and whispered with each other making Snowflake blush.

“All set! Hey, what's wrong? Why are you red? You getting sick or something?” Cloudchaser said, pushing her forehead against Snowflakes making him blush harder.

He retreated, embarrassed and Cloudchaser wondered why but before she could ask, they heard the door opening.

“Now Soarin, I´m telling yo-” Spitfire´s sentence got cut short by a pie landing on her head.

Soarin casually lciked the fillign while his aprtner was burning with anger.

“Umh she doesn´t look embarrassed. She looks more...angry,” Cloudchaser commented. “Also, I think she can see us!”

*****

Cloudchaser and Snowflake were forced to clean all the windows in the academy as punishment for their “prank”

“Hey CH, good prank you pulled on Spitfire! But next time try not to get caught!” Rainbow Dash shouted, passing by.

“It wasn't a prank. It was supposed a romantic comedic scenario. Maybe I´m reading the wrong novels…” Cloudchaser said.

“Alright you two, at ease!” Spitfire said, approaching along with Soarin. “Before you continue with your punishment, I want an explanation for why two did that!” she said, her man still wet from the logn shower she needed to clean all the pie filling from her head.

Cloudchaser was about to say something but Snowflake interrupted her “It was my idea. I dared her to play a prank on you, sir. Ma´am.”

“Is that so?” Spitfire said, her arms crossed.

Cloudchaser looked at Snowflake, wondering why he was taking the fall for her.

“Well, in that case I think it´s better than we separate you two. Cloudchaser has one of the best records and I don't want you to ruin it,” Spitfire said to Snowflake.

Soarin noticed the distressed look on Cloudchaser´s eyes and realized something. Smiling, he touched Spitfire in the shoulder “Hey, let´s not be hasty! Why don´t we wait to see if they can handle this task together?”

“...okay. After all, two ponies together can clean the whole building faster,” she conceded and Snowflake and Cloudchaser smiled.

“And after they done with the main building, you can continue with the gym. And the showers. And the storage room,” Spitfire added, making them drop their smiles.

Before they left, Soarin gave Snowflake a wink, encouraging to make a move. Snowflake however returned to the window, a slight blush on his cheeks.

“Thanks for taking the fall for me,” Cloudchaser said.

“No problem. That´s what wing ponies have to do,” he said, still blushing.

Cloudchaser played a little with the sponge before saying, “You know, I got a little worried there when Spitfire said about splitting us because...I have so much fun being your partner. You think she will really do it?”

“....I think we should finish this task first, partner.”

“Okay then, partner,” she said, smiling and moving a little closer to Snowflake.

Back in the other side of the field, Soarin was complimenting Spitfire´s wet mane, causing her to blush and yell a little at him.
