It was time for Spitfire to leave for Canterlot. All the Wonderbolts were with her to see her off.

"Try not to miss me too much," she said. "It's only for a week. You can manage without me for that long... I hope."

The Wonderbolts giggled at her little joke.

"Now Soarin," she said to him. "You be sure to keep the team in line while I'm gone."

"I will," he promised. He then turned around to face the team.

"First order of business," he said to them. "We shall give Spitfire the traditional Wonerbolts' farewell."

"Yes sir!" said the Wonderbolts.

The team organised themselves into two lines on both sides of the runway, which Spitfire was about to take off from.

"Salute!" ordered Soarin, and the Wonderbolts promptly did so. Spitfire then took off from the runway. Now that the traditional Wonderbolts' farewell was done, they could now say goodbye more casually. They all waved at Spitfire as she took off into the horizon and she waved back. Once she was out of sight, Soarin turned towards the team.

"Right!" he said to them. "Now that that's done, it's time for practice."

"Yes sir!" said the Wonderbolts.

That night, Soarin slept in Spitfire's bedroom. Spitfire had given him permission to do so, and this made him truly feel like the Wonderbolts' coach for the time being. Just as he was getting ready for bed, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"It's me," came Rainbow Dash's voice. Soarin recognised her voice.

"I'll let you in, Crash," he said und unlocked the door. Rainbow Dash came in and locked the door behind her.

"You know," she said. "I do believe we are missing a mutual sex-friend."

Soarin giggled. "Why, I do believe we are!" he said. Rainbow Dash giggled back.

"So," she said. "Since Spitfire had her way with just me yesterday, I think it's only fair that..."

"Don't have to ask me twice!" he interrupted and hastily kissed Rainbow Dash passionately.

"Woo, boy!" she said. "You're in the mood tonight."

"Uh huh!" confirmed Soarin, and continued kissing her. Rainbow Dash returned the kiss and the two wrestled tongues. They then climbed onto the bed with Soarin getting on top of Rainbow Dash and the two ponies continued making out. Rainbow Dash then stroked Soarin's wings making them spread open in pleasure, and he in turn did the same to her.

"You know," said Soarin. "I've never been this focused on you in the bedroom before."

"Yeah," agreed Rainbow Dash. "Spitfire liked to be the centre of attention."

"Well, she did start this fuck-buddy system."

"Fair enough. But let's make the most of being able to focus on each other this time!"

Later that night, Soarin commented to Rainbow Dash on the sex they had had that night.

"You were a lot gentler than Spitfire," he said.

"I'm not surprised," said Rainbow Dash. "I'm definitely a dom, but not as much as Spitfire."

"This is probably some of the best one-on-one sex I've ever had!"

Rainbow Dash giggled.

"Same here," she said. "And that's saying something!"

"Oh sweet Celestia. I think I'm in love!"

Rainbow Dash paused.

"I..." she started, but couldn't bring herself to finish. She had a crush on Soarin for the longest time, but this was the first time he had ever shown any affection back. There was the making out and sex of course, but that was more lust than love.

The two ponies stared at each other wide-eyed. They'd just realised they were putting their fuck-buddy deal with Spitfire at risk!
