Dancing Through Life

A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with more of this story! And this chapter is more original than the past few. I just needed to know what happened next to figure how to change it up for this story.

Now, let's get on with Chapter 10! Roll it!

Chapter 10

A Meeting Arrangement

The next day, at school, Soarin' couldn't take his mind off of Rainbow Dash. How could he not? She was just... amazing. Her long rainbow hair, her stunning magenta eyes, and that smile. Whether it was a confident grin, or a soft smile, it was beautiful either way.

"Earth to Soarin'." Spitfire waved her hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his daze. "You okay? You have been staring off into space for the past few minutes."

"He's probably thinking about that girl he bumped into the day we came back to school, which is the same girl he danced with last night." Cheese said with a smirk.

Soarin' blushed bright red. "Cheese!" He hissed.

Fleetfoot began laughing out loud. "Oh, has it finally happened?" She asked dramatically, a girly grin on her face that was asking for juicy details. "Is our boy in love at last?" Soarin' rolled his eyes, turning away to hide his deepening blush.

"Knock it off." He said, brushing their teasing off. Then, he walked away from them, taking a piece of paper out and a pencil. After writing something on it, he folded it with a smile on his face. He just hoped that it won't end badly.

A few minutes later, Rainbow Dash was walking towards her locker with her friends. She was telling them what had happened earlier at her house that morning with the Dazzlings.

Flashback

Rainbow was serving the Dazzlings some pancakes and eggs for breakfast as she listened to their conversation, pretending to not be paying attention to them as Adagio was yelling at the other two.

"You mean to say that all that time during the dance, the two of you were locked in a supply closet?" Adagio shrieked furiously.

"It wasn't our fault!" Aria retorted back, while Sonata shrunk back from her sister's angry tone. "Someone locked us in there on purpose. When we finally got out of there, the Wonderbolts still wouldn't talk to us."

"Especially Soarin'." Sonata added, making Rainbow slightly perk up at his name. "He just kept heading on outside, as if he was looking for someone."

"Do you know who?" Adagio asked.

Aria shook her head. "No, but that was all he was doing last night, and all we really do know was that it was a girl. At least that was what Spitfire said when she was complimenting the little tramp."

Rainbow smirked inwardly as she headed back towards the kitchen so that she could eat her own breakfast in there, since she was not allowed to eat with her stepsisters in the dining room.

Adagio seethed through her teeth. "Find out who she is, because she could ruin everything!"

End of Flashback

The other girls were laughing out loud when Rainbow finished her story, except for Twilight, but she still had a faint smile on her face.

"I wish I could've seen the looks on their faces!" Applejack snickered.

Rainbow snorted. "Trust me. They were priceless."

"But if they start to pry others for information, then they will eventually find out that it was you who the Wonderbolts were talking about." Twilight said, her smile gone.

Rainbow froze. She totally forgot about that one little setback. And if the Dazzlings found that she did sneak out to the dance, and that she was the one who danced with Soarin', they'll make her life even more intolerable than it already is.

"Well, we'll help you if things are going to go that way." Sunset assured her. "Want to head over to the diner after school?" She asked.

While everyone else nodded, Rainbow shook her head. "I can't today. It's Friday, and I have to work a shift at the store."

"You're always so busy on Fridays." Pinkie whined.

Rainbow shrugged. "Well, I don't earn wages by being a servant in my own house." She said. "I still have to save money for college."

"Speaking of college, have you heard back from the Manehattan Academy of Performing Arts yet?" Twilight asked.

Dash shook her head again. "Not yet." She answered. "I'm supposed to recieve a letter from them any day now. So, keep your fingers crossed."

"Aw, would ya relax? You're gonna get in there, Dash." Applejack said, wrapping one of her arms around her best friend's shoulders.

Rainbow smiled. "Thanks, AJ." She said. Then, she shrugged her friend's arm off. "I'll see you gals later." She said before walking away.

Moments later, Rainbow arrived at her school locker. Once she unlocked and opened it, a piece of paper fluttered down. Dash bent down and picked up. Seeing that paper was meant for her since it had her name on one of the flaps, she unfolded it.

Hey, Rainbow Dash. I'm sorry, but I really want to see you again. So, I'm hoping that I can catch you later this afternoon, at the Wonderbolt Sports Supplies store down at the mall. That's where you take a normal job, right? If so, I'll meet you there, if you want me to.

-Soarin'.

P.S. You also dropped this last night. You were actually kind of cute as a little girl.

Rainbow felt her face growing warm and red. Soarin' wants to see her again? For real? If she were a crazy fangirl, she would be screaming out loud with joy. But luckily for her, she wasn't. She instead just smiled shyly, tucking a loose lock of her prismatic hair behind her ear. Rainbow then saw that taped to the inside of the note was her photo of her and her parents. She smiled again, this time with fondness.

Dash looked around, hoping that Aria and Sonata weren't around, and tucked the note into a pocket. She then grabbed one of her binders and tore out a separate piece of paper. After writing on it for a minute, she folded it and placed into the covering of her binder.

Soon, she caught up with Pinkie Pie, who was heading towards her Home Economics class.

"Hey, Pinkie!" She called out to her.

The party girl turned to her friend. "What's up, Dashie?" She asked.

Rainbow reached back into her binder and pulled out her note. "Can you give this to your new friend, Cheese? It's for Soarin'."

Pinkie took the note. "What's in the note?" She asked, giving her a sly smile.

Rainbow rolled her eyes, trying to be annoyed. But a smile betrayed the look she was going for, and honestly, she could care less. "A reply." She simply said before walking towards her gym class.

A few minutes later, Soarin' was quietly tapping his pencil against his desk, trying to pass the time as he listened to the biology lecture. It was pretty boring, and tapping his pencil was the only thing that could keep him awake.

A finger then poked his shoulder, getting his attention. Soarin' turned around, and saw that Cheese was holding out a note to him. The Wonderbolt took it and unfolded it.

Hey, Soarin'. I got your message. Meet me at the Wonderbolt Sports Supplies store after school at the mall. I take a shift there every Friday. I'll see you there.

-RD.

Soarin' felt a corny grin threatning to split his face in two. This is going great. Then he felt another poke to his arm and saw that Cheese was wiggling his eyebrows at him teasingly. He rolled his eyes with a slight red blush, and pushed his friend away playfully back towards his seat before he turned back to the front of the class, listening a little better to the lecture. But he was much too anxious to really pay attention. The end of the school day couldn't come soon enough.

A/N: How was that? So Soarin' and Rainbow Dash will be meeting over at the store where Rainbow would sometimes work at for the money, since she doesn't earn any from being a slave in her own house.

I hoped y'all enjoyed this chapter! Even though it was a little short. Please leave a review about what you think.

Got to fly! ;)
