Chapter 4: Trouble

Soarin woke up to the morning sun blasting into his eyes.  When he finally got up he went into the bathroom and washed his face.  When he looked in the mirror, he was surprised that his mane is all messed up and that he is a bit confused about what happen last night.  

Last night

Both Soarin and Dash left the party and decided to head towards a cafe where both of them talk about everything from how they are doing to telling about how much they missed each other.  After they are done, both of them then went on towards a hotel where Soarin dicided to stay the night.  Before he could did anything, Dash said "Hey Soarin, can I spend the night with you?"

Soarin was surprised but then said "Sure thing Dash."

So both of them went up into his room and Soarin ordered some wine and both had some and talked some more.  Then from what Soarin remembers, both he and Dash then started a little make out which turn into something more all the way to the bed.

Present

He then ran back into the bedroom and sees that Dash is not there but that there is a note and it said

Dear Soarin,

Sorry for leaving you, but the Shadowbolts are leaving at around noon.  So by the time you read this I'll be heading out and thanks for the night.  If you are wondering, I get off in about two weeks so if you want to see me again meet me in Ponyville at a place called Surgercube Corner.

Love,

Rainbow Dash

Soarin could not believe his eyes, Dash wants to see him again and in only two weeks and in Ponyville.  So then he took a shower and checked out of the hotel and went on towards Cloudsdale.

As soon as Dash arrived at the Shadowbolt Headquarters, she sees at the front enterance Midnight.  Dash then waves and says "Hey there Midnight, how are things?"

Midnight shrugs her shoulders and said "Not much, except that Night Fury is in one of his moods."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, he wants to see you about something."

Dash then gets a worried look on her face and went on inside.  After some time and dodging Shade again, she arrives at the captains door.  She then takes a deep breath and knocks on the door.  As soon as she knocks she hears a gruff voice saying "Come in."

As soon as she went in, she sees sitting behind a desk Night Fury, a brown pegasus with a black mane and tail.  As for his cutie mark, it is a black shooting star.  After a while Dash then says "Rainbow Dash reporting sir."

"Sit down Dash." After Dash sits down Fury then says "I'm curious about something, did you spend time with some stallion at that party."

"Yes sir why, all we did was talk."

"Well, I'm just curious, because for all we know that stallion could have been an Wonderbolt spy."

"But sir, why would a Wonderbolt go after me?  I know nothing about all our moves or anything like that."

"Well I hope you did not tell him anything of the sort."

"No sir."

"Good now leave."

Dash was about to leave until Fury says "By the way, what was his name?"

Dash then realizes that she can not say Soarin so she came up with an made up name "Solar Wind sir."  Fury then nods his head and waves his hoof for her to go.

Dash then goes into the locker room to practice for a while and she then finds herself thinking about Soarin "Soarin, I hope we could figure out how we could be together."

She was lost in thought and flying that she did not see a lone pegasus watching her.

(**)

After a few hours, Dash then lands and was about to head on towards the locker rooms until she was stopped by Shade.

"Shade, what are you doing here?  I thought you went home."

"Come on Dash," he says in a voice that has Dash a bit worried "why don't you love me?"

"I told you, you are not my type." says Dash with an angry look

Shade then steps closer to Dash and said "Come on Dash I just want one favor from you."

"What is it?" said Dash with a confused look

"I want just a kiss from you."

"No way, I'll never kiss you.  Even if you promised to leave me alone."

Then before Dash could react, Shade then grabs Dash and in a blink of an eye has her pinned to the floor with him on top.  Dash then slaps him but he did not budge from his position and instead said "Well now, you should really behave Dash somepony could get hurt."

"Why are you doing this Shade?"

"Its obvious Dash, I love you."  He then leans in and starts to kiss her but Dash is trying her best to not lock her lips with his.  But then all of a sudden Shade then grabs her wings and pulls on them and said "Dash you should behave, you don't want me to hurt you now do you?"  He then starts it all over.

After about an hour of trying her best to resist Shade, Dash all of a sudden passes out.

An hour later

Midnight finds herself at the Headquarters looking for Dash.  She has been looking for her for some time for there weekly mares day out.  "She is never late, where could she be she is not at home and she was not at the usual places we hang out."

She then dicided to look at the H.Q.  When she arrived she found the door unlocked which never happens because the door is always locked.  She then went on inside and looks around to find if Dash is still inside until she starts to hear heavy breathing.  She then hurries towards where the noise coming from until she turns around a corner and Can't believe what she sees.

Dash is laying on the floor with a few bruises and scraps and from what Midnight could tell, she is still alive but for who knows for how much longer.  So then Midnight then puts Dash on her back and starts to fly as fast and as careful as she could to get Dash to a hospital.
