The rain poured for hours after rainbow and Z left twilight's house, it bounced of every object it came in contact with, leaving no place dry for a filly to hide or find shelter. Rainbows house was an unusual one it changed with the weather. When it rained it became a dark storm cloud rainbow was moaning about how she would have to spend time rinsing it out the next day, while no water would enter the home it would suck up a fair amount. The vibrant rainbow falls that hung off the edge of the castle in the sky gave it a look of beauty no matter the weather. However the inside of the home would always stay the same no matter the weather.

"I'm going to go feed tank he is probably starving by now, why don't you have a look around" Rainbow carried the little turtle on her back into what Z assumed was the kitchen. Rainbows house had a style of roman architecture with huge pillars that surrounded the entrance, the natural moon light shone in from the windows that were made up of fine clouds. Almost all the furniture in the house was made of clouds not the usual fluffy kind however it's more of a compacted cloud which created a smooth and strong surface. A coffee table and couch was in what seemed to be the main room for entertainment, the walls were covered in pictures and posters, her first day at flight school, he first sonic rain boom, the room had pictures scattered around in many places, rainbow was definitely a cute child in every picture she was always smiling with those fat little cheeks.
Posters of the wonder bolts hung from the walls but the item that caught Z's attention was the element of loyalty that was placed in a glass case (under lock and key of course) the gala dress was to the right of the amazing necklace.

"Sure is awesome aint it" a small punch and wink seemed to be the welcome that rainbow choose to show here presence

"Yeah it sure is beautiful but don't forget you aren't nothing compared to all mighty Z" he toyed with her ego trying to get a reaction and of course she obliged with one

"How about i put that element on and show what the element of loyalty can do"

"Ooh I'm shaking in my Horse shoes" Z turned his back towards her and shot her a smirk, rainbow took that as a challenge and soon put a hoof around Z's neck she had him in a head while she gave him a noogie. Rainbow had to hover to reach his neck but never the less she had him.
"so you wanna play like that" with that Z shot of out the closest door into the black night along with the storm that tormented the world around them, he quickly held onto rainbows hoofs so she couldn't let go and fly away "let's see what Equestria's fasted can take" barrel roll after barrel rolled is what followed those last words.
White air streams formed at the tips of Z's wings it twisted behind him creating a sketch across the Sky's. a whirling sound formed around the pairs ears as wind shot past, Z had straightened up now and was going for speed he was weaving in and out dodging the lighting that struck the trees below setting them ablaze before the rain put it out

"Z! I'm gonna puke slow down" rainbow pleaded in Z's ear but he was just having a bit too Much fun. He arched his head back and changed into a vertical ascent, he burst through a storm cloud the black poofs of cloud got caught in the dead air space behind him they twisted and spiraled with the white stream behind before dissipating into nothingness. Z slowed and came to a halt letting go of rainbow at a height as high as the moon that light up Equestria, her eyes span in the back of her head along with the rest of her head that followed suit.

Z rolled on his back laughing at Rainbow as she tried to steady herself, she finally planted two hoofs on her face and stopped it from spinning.
"You think your fast huh let's race to my house then" without another word she was off plummeting straight down, she pumped her wings Z shortly behind their faces rippling in the air. The ground quickly came into view. An aurora of lights started to form around rainbows body. The same was happening to Z but it was a bright white light that surrounded, him it sparked off Z like the solar flares of Celestria's sun. BOOM! The pair simultaneous sonic boomed the Rainbow and white aurora burst out across the land, leafs were forced from the trees, the trees wiped back in a reaction to the force. Both changed their direction at a 90 degree angle, their bodies were hidden from site with white and rainbow auras coving them. The colours soaring neck and neck across the sky towards rainbows house. Rainbows house was coming closer into view Rainbow spread her wings to slow here speed for her approach
"Z! Slow dow..." it was too late Z had tried to stop too late he hit the cloud house with a BANG. Rainbow flew quickly trying to see if her Friend was ok, when she got there she was met with Z's flank that was hanging from the wall "hahaha" she rolled on the ground.

"quit laughing and get me out of this wall" not amused
"I don't know I quite like you flank as an ornament" she slapped the colts flank
"hey, I know my flank is beautiful but i would rather not have it hanging outside our house there is a very cold breeze"
"alright alright quite you're babying I'll get you out, this might hurt a bit" rainbow was whining up her back hoofs
"wait let me try somethin.. OOW" rainbow kicked him in the rear he flew out the other end landing on her couch face first "did you not hear me say wait!"
"are you out or not if anything you should praise your saver" she trotted her way into the living room her head held high, Z's flank was hung over the couch "hahah Z you sure are a riot"
"I'm glad someone is finding this amusing" he rolled onto the floor, giving his flank a good rub then got up and laid down on the couch.
"so should we add this to your legacy, the all might Z nothing can defeat him but a mighty cloud" Rainbow stretched her hoof in front of her as if to show a title.
"I beat ya in the race didn't I, so that makes me faster than Rainbow dash looks like your just the 2nd fastest flier in Equestria" Z smirked and raised his eyebrows.
A saddened look came on Rainbows face, a small tear glimmered in the corner of her eye
"rainbow you alright?" He tried to get a better look at her face before she ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. "Come on rainbow I didn't mean it, you will always be the fastest flier" he lent up against the cloud door back to it.
"It's not that, it wasn't you" the voice was softened by the cloud door.
Z opened the door to see the rainbow pony sat on her bed head hanging in her hooves

"What is it Rainbow and don't tell me you have some dust in your eyes. i don't want to see you like this" he sat next to the pony and placed his hoof around her trying to comfort, the so suddenly saddened Rainbow dash.
"It's just something Rarity said a couple days ago before I met you" She looked up at the black pony vision blurred by the tears in her eyes. The tears ran down the curve of her cheek.
Z lifted a hoof and wiped away the tears droplet that hanged from her face "I'm sure she didn't mean it whatever she said"
"we were out for lunch, Octavia and vinyl scratch were also out for lunch they were seated in front of us and rarity caught me watching them, and you know what she said she don't worry ill find the right filly one day. My own friend thinks I'm a filly fool and I even started to believe her, but then you came along and I'm just confused all over again" rainbow put her head back into her hoofs and ran them across her face and into her scruffy mane.

"Rainbow all you have to do is ask yourself one thing, and that's what does my heart say, no matter what anypony says they can't change what or who you are" he lifted rainbows face and kissed her on the lips gently the warmth transferred between them, Rainbows face turn red she pulled away slightly with shock at first. She soon then become comfortable and lean deeply into the kiss, her wings became erect and sprang from there resting place.

Z pulled away their faces only millimetres away he smirked "I guess that answers you're question then"

Rainbows face went a bright red, she giggles slighter to herself. Pulled away from the pony to a comfortable position and yawned "I guess being up all night and partying has taken its toll" a small smile came across both their faces. Z lay down on the bed he left his arm open for rainbow to also lay on, she accepted the invitation and rapped a hoof around his stomach and placed her head into his shoulder they both snuggled there for a moment before they drifted a sleep.
