Chapter 8: New Furture

It has been about two months since Soarin is in an coma and Dash and Midnight are worried but still have hope.  Even though Dash forgave Midnight for what she had done, Midnight is still feeling sorry about it.  Both of them are at a small cafe and Dash is showing her pregancy and Midnight made a comment about it "So Dash, how much longer until the foal is born?"

"I think some months but I'm still holding on and I'm not as fast as I was before."

"Well now I'm sure you're still wondering if the foal is going to be Soarins?"

Dash then puts down her sandwich and say "Yeah, I hope it is Soarins."

"It, you don't know if its a filly or a colt?"

"Nope, and I would rather be surprised then know what gender it is and I would rather have Soarin awake when I find out."

"Ok."

Both of them continue eating until Dash says "Hey, do you know what the Wonderbolts and the Shadowbolts are doing right now?"

"Well for some reason the princesses heard what happen and they decided to post pone anymore shows until this is all taking care of."

"It has been two months, what else needs taken care of?"

Before Midnight could say anything, a pony comes up to them and says "Excuse me, is one of you Rainbow Dash?"

"I'm Rainbow Dash adn you are?"

"I'm Lyra and I was told to find you and tell you that the hospital wants to see you."

All of a sudden Dash then shoots out of the cafe and ran as fast as she could towards the hospital.  When she finally arrived, she went up to the front desk says "I'm here, what is it?"

The nurse at the front desk look up and says "Well, if you want to know Soarin is awake and is recovering."

Dashs mind then starts to race and then she goes off towards his room and when she finally arrives she at first stops and takes a deep breath and opens the door slowly.  She then sees Soarin awake and eating some hospital food.  She then runs on in and jumps on Soarin and hugs him.  Soarin is surprised at first and then realizes that it is Dash hugging him and then he hugs her back.

Then Dash lets go and Soarin notices that she is crying and says "Hey Dash, are you allright?"

Dash then smiles and says "Yeah Soarin, I'm just glad you are woken up finally."

Then Soarin smiles and puts an hoof on her cheek and brings her in to kiss her until the door opens and in walks in Midnight.  "Oh come on, I was so close." thought Soarin

Midnight then comes in and says "Hey Soarin, your finally awake."

"Yep, I'm awake."  He then gets an suprised look and says "How long was I out?"

"Two months." said Dash

"Two months!" said Soarin with an even more surprised look "What happened to that pegasus that I was fighting if I remember."

"Well Soarin," said Dash "seems like he is dead."

"And what else happened when I was out?"

Midnight then takes a in a deep breath and says "Well, the old Shadowbolt captain was forced to retire and I'm the new captain, if I remember the Wonderbolts heard what you've done and the princess also heard about it and are willing to give you a full pardon."

"That sounds ok but why do I get the feeling that there is more?"

"There is," said Midnight "seems like that everypony heard about the relationship between you and Rainbow Dash."

Soarin then gets an surprise look and says "That sounds bad."

"It kindof is."

"How so?" said Dash

"Well Spitfire the captain of the Wonderbolts can't believe that you would fall for an Shadowbolt and that-"

"Hold on!" yelled Soarin "Spitfire is angry about my relationship choices?  Why?  I did nothing wrong."

"Well, since you woke up I would not be surprised if she comes in tomorrow and starts something."

"Know what, If she is going to overreact I might as well leave the Wonderbolts."

Both Midnight and Dash get a surprise look and Dash says "Are you serious!  But joining the Wonderbolts was your dream."

"If I remember right Dash, it was OUR dream until that foolish former Shadowbolt captain, no offense, took you away from me."

Dash then gets tears in her eyes and says "Soarin, you don't have to leave on my account.  I'm sure the princess will find a way for us to be together."

Soarin then takes one of her hooves and says "Please Dashie, this is my choice and I would do anything for you."

"Well then if you leave, I'm leaving the Shadowbolts."

Now it was Midnights turn to be surprised and says "Relly Dash, both of you are willing to leave your teams just to be together?"

Both of them nod and she says "Well now, who am I to stop true love.  And Dash if you are going to leave you need to sign some papers."

All three of them laugh at Midnights comment.

The Next Day

Soarin is in the lobby still recovering and playing a card game with another patient and was about to make his move when a nurse comes in and says "Excuse me Soarin, there is a Miss Spitfire here to see you."

"I knew it, she is here." thought Soarin "Send her in." said Soarin

After a few minutes, a yellow coated pegasus comes in and says to Soarin "Soarin!  Glad to see your okay."

"Glad to be alright." said Soarin

There was silence for a few minutes until Spitfire says "We missed you on the team Soarin."

"I'm sure everypony got by, even if nopony came to visit me." he said with an hint of anger in his voice

"Look Soarin we all would've came by but we were all busy."

"With what, from what I heard the shows are all put on hold until further notice." he said with a bit more anger

"Look Soarin we are all sorry we could not be there for you."

"Sure," he said with a bit more anger "at least there was one pony who was by my side almost all the time."

Spitfire now gets an angry look and says "Who, that Shadowbolt slut?"

"She is not a slut, she would've been a fine Wonderbolt if that other Shadowbolt captain got her first."

Spitfire then puts a hoof to her face and says "Soarin, can you just forget her and come on back to the team?"

"What!" Soarin yelled that the nurses out in the hallway could hear it. "You want me to forget her, you heartless monster, you don't care about me at all, all you care about is your so called reputation."

"Thats not true Saorin."

"Really, name one time you did something that you did not care about yourself?"

Spitfire then thinks for a minute trying to think of something.  But it was enough for Soarin to say "Thought so."

He then turns his back to her and says "You can forget about me then, I knew you would've sain something like this so here is omething for you."

He then reaches into his knapsack and handed her some papers which Spitfire regonizes as retirement papers

"Soarin, are you serious?"

"Yes I am.  And if you are wondering, my marefriend did the same thing and left the Shadowbolts so don't come back for me ever."

So then Spitfire left with a sad look on her face wondering what went wrong.

An Hour Later

Soarin is reading a book when a familiar face comes in.  "Hey Dash, how are things?"

"Well, I'm no longer a Shadowbolt and I'm doing fine right now."

Soarin smiles and says "Thats good, and I'm no longer a Wonderbolt if you are wondering."

"So, what now?"

"Well, I found a job here in Ponyville for a weather pegasi and I was thinking of taking it."

"Thats great, and I found a good cloud home for us.  Its in the sky and expensive but I think we can manage."

"Well, that just leaves us one last thing."

"What's that?" said Dash with a confused look

Soarin then looks into his puch and pulls out a small box and when he opens it it has a hoof ring and Dash knows what happens next and was more happy when Soarin says "Will you marry me Rainbow Dash?"

Wothout another word Dash hugs him and says "Yes!"

And both gave each other a long kiss.

Some Months Later

Soarin and Dash are now happily married and are about to have a foal on the way finally.  Soarin is now out of the hospital and is now the head of the weather team.  Rainbow Dash is her usual self and Saorin lets his mind wonder back to the wedding.

Rarity had done a wonderful job on all the dresses, a pony named Pinkie Pie did all the food and entertainment, there was even one pony named Twilight that somehow is Pricess Celestia's student and got her to do the ceremony, Fluttershy provided the music with her song birds and there was plenty of music and lots of pie provided by a family called the Apple Family.  Also there friend Midnight and her coltfriend Thunderlane were there.  There was even some awkward thing that happened at the reception, Spitfire came by to apologize.  So Soarin being in an happy mood and some persuasion from the princess forgave her.

Soarin was brought out of his daydream when he hears a crying foal.  He then goes on in and sees his wife laying in bed with a small bundle in her hooves.  When Soarin came up to see the foal, he sees that it is a colt and that it has a navy blue coat with a rainbow mane and tail.  He then says "So, is it ours?"

"Yes Soarin, the foal is ours, mine and yours."

Soarin then kisses Dash on the forehead and says "So, what are we naming him?"

"I was thinking Solar Rainbow."

"That sounds perfect."

Rainbow Dash then kisses there son on the head and says "Welcome, little Solar Rainbow."
