A Wedding To Remember!
Chapter 8- Party Poopers!

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

“Dash, you must wear it.” Rarity persuaded.

“Ugh fine!”

I was wearing a purple shirt and a blue skirt. And Pinkie was wearing a blue skirt and a yellow shirt. She wanted to match. I’m happy we didn’t cause that would have been embarrassing. And Soarin’s also going to be there.

“Rarity, I am not-”

“But you must!”

“Ugh! Whatever!” I replied as I scrunched up my nose in disgust. “You’re so lucky you’re my friend.”

Pinkie grabbed my neck and pulled me in a hug!

“Oooohhh! This is going to be the greatest!!!” She beamed as she squeezed her arm tighter around my neck. I was blushing and also couldn't breathe.

“Pinkie…….I….can’t…….ugh…...breathe…...P...P..inkie….”

“Oh! I’m so sorry Dashie! I’m just excited! My parents are away and my sisters love to party! They’ll love it!”

At the party……………..

“Pinkie!! What is this??!!!!” One of her sister’s, Limestone Pie shouted.

“It’s a party. For my school. We won the champion-”

“Ugh!!! I don’t care if they saved 50 people from a bombing, they need to leave!!! NOW!!!!!” She demanded as her anger grew more and more.

“Awwww Limey. Please don’t be like this. Everyone was really looking forward for this. Please? You can actually have some fun.”

“Ugh. Okay Pinkie. Only for you.”

“Thanks Limey!!!”

“And don’t call me Limey. In fact, Marble, Maud and I were going out. Promise me that you won’t burn down the house.”

“Wait, what?” I asked.

“Oh, hehehehe, it’s a very long story. And I promise. I cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Pinkie replied sheepishly.

“Okay, I’m just going to the punch table.” I said as I grabbed my purse and walked over to the table. Cinnamon was in my purse and wanted to get a bite to eat. I gave her a piece of bread and some how she loved it.

“Yummy! Is there more?” She peaked.

“Ugh! Cinnamon, no! Bad girl! Bad!”

“Do I look like a dog to you?!”

“No, I’m just saying-”

“Woof! Woof!”

“Please stop-”

“Woof!”

“Cinnamon!!”

“What? And look! Soarin’s right there.”

“AHHHH! Where?”

“Girl, calm down. Besides, you don’t look bad in that outfit.”

“Yeah, but-”

“Hey Dash.” Soarin said as he had a cup of punch in his hand and gave me a smirk.

“Hiiiii Soarin!! That game today was pretty tough, huh.”

“Yeah, it was. Thanks for pointing out the foul. If you weren’t there, I wouldn’t know what to do. And that massage was pretty nice.”

“Oh, yeah. I was just making sure you were okay.”

“I’m always okay when you’re around me.”

I blushed profusely and twirled the ends of my hair and giggled like a baby. And I bet I looked stupid.

“Oh….hehehe, really?”

“Yup. You’re a good friend.”

“Awwwwwwwwww!!!” Cinnamon shouted. I slapped my purse to tell her to shut up. After I hit her, a small “Ow” was heard.

“I can’t believe we won the game.” I changed the subject as quickly as possible so he wouldn’t know about Cinnamon.

“I know right. I can’t believe it either. It was pretty tough, though.”

“Yeah. I never did know why you stopped in the middle of the court.”

“Oh, uh, you don’t wanna know.”

“Aww, come on. Why don’t ya tell me? I won’t tell, trust me.”

“Nope. Can’t tell ya.”

“Why not?”

“I just can’t tell ya.”

Hmmm, I had to get to him. But, what. Oh no! *sighs* Here goes.

“Cinnamon? I’m going to do something that’s out of my league. Okay?” I whispered for her to hear.

“Um okay?”

I walked up to Soarin and pushed him against the wall.

“Dash! What the-”

“Shush. Now, tell Dashie why ya froze on the court.”

“Dash, can you please-”

I started to stick my tongue out and started to run my fingers up on Soarin’s chest. The heat in his cheeks started to rise and so did mine.

“D-Dash? C-Can you p-please stop?”

“Why? A little tension is bothering you?”

“No, because people are watching us.”

My eyes were wide and I looked around and saw everyone looking at us. My cheeks were burning and so were his.

“Uh, hehehe sorry everyone. Just wanted to talk to my friend.” I smiled sheepishly as I pulled away from Soarin as soon as possible. Everyone went back to partying.

“Dash? What was that for?” Soarin asked having a stern look on his face. I gulped. I knew I was in for it now.

“Sorry Soarin. I just wanted to know why you froze like that. You almost lost for us. And you know coach would’ve killed you for that. I just want you to be happy.”

“Dash, I’m already happy. I have the coolest friend in the world.” He stated as he took my hands and held on to them. As he took my hands, he looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back at him.

“Wanna drink?”

“Who me?”

“Um, yeah. Do you want something to drink?”

“Yeah, that'll be awesome. But, don't make it fruit punch. I had that last night. And I drank it so much I thought I was going to explode. Hehehe!” I giggled.

“Dash! What's up with you lately?!”

“So, that means yes?”

“Yes Soarin. Get me something to drink.”

“Okay.”

He went to the punch table and I sat on Pinkie’s couch. Cinnamon climbed out of the purse and was cooing like a bird.

“Awwwwww! The way he took your hands were adorable. Man, where's my camera when I need it?” She asked herself as she was looking around for them.

“Haha, you're too much.” I laughed.

“And you're to silly!”

“Huh?”

“Don't huh me! You drank fruit punch so much you thought you were going to explode? Are you okay?”

“I dunno. I asked myself the same question.”

“Maybe because you're just flittery around him.”

“Huh?”

“Are you deaf or something? Something strange is going on with you. I guess your emotions for him are coming out more and more.”

“Wait what? What emotions? I have no emotions towards him.”

“Yeah, says the girl who can't think straight while she's talking to him.”

“Ugh! Shush! He's coming back!”

“But I didn't get a chance to-”

“Here's your drink.” He replied as he gave me my cup filled with apple juice.

“Thanks Soarin. This really is a nice party dedicated to you guys. Are you going to make a toast?”

“Who me? Yeah, I am the team captain.”

“Yup.”

“Heck, I'm going to do it now. Ahem! CAN I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?!!”

Everyone looked at our area. The music stopped. Everything stopped except people's breathing. I was so shocked. I moved back a little from my seat and made sure Soarin got his spotlight.

“First off, I wanna thank everyone for coming out tonight and I have to say, the game today was pretty tough, but we overcame it! Second, I wanna thank Pinkie, for this awesome party! Give it up for Pinkie!” He shouted. Everyone clapped for Pinkie. She took a bow.

“And lastly, I wanna thank my best friend, Rainbow Dash.”

My heart literally stopped. He's thanking me??!!! My heart was racing. I didn't know what to say.

“The reason why I'm thanking her is because if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't been playing by the rules. And that was a foul and I thank her for acknowledging that. I also wanna thank her for making sure I was okay when I fell. I really appreciate it.”

“Hey, that's what friends do.” I smiled.

“So, this toast is not for me and for my team. This toast is for Canterlot! To Canterlot!!” He smiled as he lifted his cup in the air. We all did. We sat back down on the couch and gave me a smirk.

“Why'd you thank me?” I asked as I gave him a nudge.

“Because you deserved it. Besides, if it wasn't for you, we would've lost and we could've lost 1 point. But because of your smartness, you made it possible. Thank you.”

“Awwww Soarin, thank you so much.” I smiled.

“Don't mention it.”

We both smiled. A slow song came on and everyone in pairs got up and danced. Even the lights turned off and a disco ball appeared. Me and Soarin were looking at each other.

“So, um, wanna dance?” He asked.
“That is if you want to.” He reached out his hand and smiled at me.

I looked at him and then at his hand. My cheeks were red. I didn't know what to say until Cinnamon interrupted.

“Say yes you idiot!!” She shouted.

I snapped back to reality and took his hand.

“Yes, I would love to.”

He took my hand and twirled me at first then he put his hands over my waist and I put my hands around his neck. As we started to dance, I felt my heart beat 10 times faster than it was before and my stomach had butterflies. I stared into his emerald eyes the whole time. Our eyes were locked together. He kept twirling me around and I enjoy every bit of the dance. When it was getting closer to the end of the song, we were not too far from getting closer to each other's lips. Our noses touched but I couldn't bear to move closer. I closed my eyes and moved closer towards his lips until……

“Hi!!!” Misty Fly shouted. We both backed up and I was upset. I could tell Soarin was a little disappointed. “What's up?!!” She did that on purpose!!

“My foot up your ass!!!” I shouted with rage. Soarin pulled me back a bit.

“Woah, Dash. Calm down. Ain't this party popping?!” She asked as she was flirting with Soarin. I couldn't take it anymore.

“I'm going to get some fresh air!” I yelled in anger as I took my purse and went outside.

“Dash! Rainbow Dash wait!” Soarin called out for me. But it was too late, I was already out. I wasn't going to stay there will her stupid self and actually stand there watching her do that in front of me. I was outside and sat on the doorstep. I was just looking at the road, I was sad. I heard muffled noises coming from my purse. I opened my purse and found Cinnamon trying to breathe.

“Hey! What happened? Who's shoving who's foot up who's ass?” She asked as she ran up my outfit and climbed in my hands.

“What?”

“I asked you who said they was going to shove up their foot up someone's ass?”

“I did.”

“Why? Misty Fly was stealing Soarin away from you?”

“Yup, you said it.”

“Wow! That's just cold. Man, if I had arms and legs, I would've walked up to her and pulled her away from you two.”

“I appreciate it Cinnamon, but I guess he likes her.”

“Oh? Is that right? If he liked Misty Fly, why would he dance with you and not her? If he liked Misty Fly, why would he mention you in his toast? If he liked Misty Fly, why is he coming out the door?”

“Wait what?” I turned around and saw Soarin right above me. I grabbed my purse and hid Cinnamon in the purse.

“Rainbow Dash! Why did you leave?” Soarin started. “Who knows what could've happened to you.”

“Why would you care?”

“Because I care about you. I don't want anything bad happening to you. Okay?”

“Okay, but what about Misty Fly?”

“Ugh, please! If you think I like her, then you're wasting your time.”

“See?! I told ya!!!” Cinnamon shouted.

“What was that?” He asked.

“Oh, um, must be kids playing around in the street at night. Oh snap! I gotta go home!! See ya Soarin!” I grabbed my purse and ran towards my house. My house is only 2 blocks away from Pinkie’s house. I ran home and closed the door when I came inside.

“Honey! Where have you been?!” My mom asked as she hugged me tightly. “And what are you doing dressed like this? Where you at a club?”

“Mom no, I wasn't. What's going on?”

“Rainbow!! There you are! We were worried sick about you!” Cirrus replied as she too hugged me tightly.

“Um, is there something going on?” I kept asking. But no answer.

“Dash!! Come here!!” My dad yelled. My mom and Cirrus walked away from slowly. Scootaloo came in.

“Ooooohhh, someone's in trouble!!!” She cooed.

“Shut up! Yes dad?”

“Where were you?”

“I was at a basketball game. Why?”

“A girl doesn't dress like that to a basketball game. And where was this game?”

“Dad, I told ya earlier this week. There was a boy’s basketball game today and I was a cheerleader. Pinkie Pie had an after party at her house to celebrate our victory and my friend Rarity made this outfit for me to wear to the party and the party was a safe party. No drugs and drinks and no sex.”

“And you didn't contact us?”

“Dad!!!! I told ya before! I was at a basketball game!!!!” I yelled at him. He was really pissing me off.

“Rainbow Dash! Respect your father.” My mom reassured me.

“Look mom! Now, I really don't wanna get lectured right now!” I thought. I was truly mad.

“I'm trying too, but he doesn't understand anything! His brain is colossal!!” I shouted. “His brain is colossal and vacuous!!!”

Cirrus, my mom and dad were in shock. So was I. I didn't mean to say that.

“What does vacuous mean?” Scootaloo asked.

“Come on Scootaloo. I'll tell you upstairs.” Cirrus said as she grabbed Scootaloo's arm.

“No seriously. What's vacuous? Is it an adverb or an adjective?” Scootaloo asked again as Cirrus and Scootaloo went upstairs and closed a door.

“Is that how you talk to your father?” He asked.

“Ugh! Is that all you can say? Maybe if you weren't so old maybe people would respect you more!!!” I shouted as I went to my room and slammed the door, hard.

I understand that my dad is sick and going through things but it seems like he's doing all that so he can get his attention. No way am I going back downstairs to apologize. He started it! I don't even care. I love him and all but he needs to stop! Ugh! I pulled the covers over my head and went to sleep. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
