Yes yes I know, My little Pony? Why would I bother writing a fic about it? But after seeing a few episodes, I just had to. R&R please!

Rainbow Dash savored the cool morning air running through her feathers as she slowly opened her wings. Her hooves gradually left the ground. As she folded her legs underneath her, she lifted her head and opened her eyes to see the dazzling clear sky.

Unlike the haste she usually felt, this moment was different, it was calm, peaceful even. Spreading her wings to their full height, she saw the ground beneath her drop away
as she flew into the clouds. She soon passed the treetops and began to see the vast orchards of Sweet Apple Acres, soon giving away to the sight of the rooftops in Ponyville, further still, she could see the silhouette of the Everfree forest. Rainbow Dash moved her concentration to the sky in front of her, deciding it was time for some serious flying. Spotting a large cloud looming overhead, it was time to pick up speed.

The huge cloud came closer and closer until... Whoosh! Rainbow Dash burst through the cloud, tail streaming, wings outstretched, wonder bolt uniform a blur. She looked back, shaking out pieces of cloud fluff from her mane. the cloud she had burst through was nothing but a faint speck on the horizon now, pierced by the bright rainbow the fastest wonder bolt left in her wake.

Suddenly, another blur shot past her, it was Soarin, one of her fellow teammates from squadron two, as well as one of her closest friends. He was very good looking, with a pale blue coat, and a saphire blue mane. His toned, athletic body was visible through his uniform, revealing the product of hours, days, weeks of intense training. The most striking thing about him though, in her opinion, were his eyes. They were a deep, sparkling emerald green. A pair of eyes Rainbow constantly found herself getting lost in. She would never admit it to her friends, but she had always had a bit of a crush on Soarin ever since he helped her make a good impression on the other wonder bolts.

* flashback*

"What if I don't make it? What if the others don't think I'm good enough?"
Rainbow pawed nervously at the ground, just because she was friends with Soarin, one of the most talented wonderbolts, it didn't mean that she was guaranteed to make the team.

Soarin smiled back warmly at her. "Don't worry Dash, you're a natural at flying, anyone could see that."
Rainbow blushed and looked at the ground, why did she feel this way around him? She looked up and met his eyes. Emerald eyes locked on magenta. Soarin felt the heat rushing to his face. "Besides, you saved our lives once. Im sure they won't forget that. Not to mention I constantly tell them how awesome you are." He said, winking at her.
Rainbow Dash smiled back. "Thanks Soarin, I feel a lot better now.

"No problem." He replied sincerely. It really wasn't, he was happy to help the colorful pegasus anytime.

*end of flashback*

Rainbow smiled at the memory. Soarin always knew what to say, he truly was a great friend. Snapping back to reality, she began to fly faster and faster, determined to catch up to her teammate.

She soon felt a familiar cone of air beginning to form around her. She flew faster, once the cone was started, it had to be finished. Colors from her mane began to blend into the air around her. Rainbow felt the pressure in the cone building. "Soon..." She thought. "Soon".

Putting on a final burst of speed, she broke through the sound barrier, leaving a breathtaking sonic rainboom in her wake. Looking back, she saw the sparkling rainbow streaming from her mane that always appeared after a sonic rainboom. As she flew past Soarin, she smirked at his flabbergasted expression, even though he had seen her pull off a sonic rainboom at numerous shows, he was always amazed by the colorful explosion.

Soarin stared in shock at the cyan mare. How was she able to do that? Sure he could perform tricks that the rainbow maned pony could not achieve, but a sonic rainboom? That was just awesome. Then again, she was just awesome.

Soarin, closed his gaping mouth. How he had managed to befriend such an amazing flier, he wasn't sure. But he was definitely not going to complain.

Rainbow Dash lazily flew back to where Soarin was, smiling at his amazement. She was drained after performing the sonic rainboom, since obviously, breaking the speed of sound took a lot of energy.
Soarin acknowledged her presence with a brief nod of his head. " I'm never going to be able to beat you in a race am I? He questioned. " maybe." She replied. "You never know." Soarin gave her a skeptical look and she sighed in return. "Fine, you probably won't, but that doesn't mean your going to give up does it?
She asked.

He grinned sheepishly and shook his head. "Nope, Im going to keep trying to win until the day I die." Rainbow grinned back, knowing that he really never would give up.

Soarin met her eyes, lost in the deep pools of magenta. Realizing that staring blankly at her probably looked more than a little strange, he broke the silence. "You know, I'd really like a slice of pie right now. Wanna join me?" He cocked his head, waiting for her response.

Rainbow Dash visibly perked up at the mention of food. "Sure, pie sounds good to me." She replied happily. Soarin nodded and began to fly in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. "You coming?" Rainbow nodded. "Yup, right behind you."
He sighed happily, today had been a perfect day.

What did you think? It seems that a certain cyan pegasus has a crush now! Soarin is so clueless. Plenty of adventure coming up. R&R!
