My eyes open wider at those words rainbow spoke.

I think I love you

With such confussion it was difficult to bring up the question.

"Why? ... no how did this happen?"

Rainbow looks towards the ground from over the side of the cloud.

"I ... don't really know." She answers my question with a quiet tone.

I can only imagine how confused she must feel. Especially in this situation.

"Maybe we could leave the question until your more comfortable?" I ask here in a hope of a chance to change the subject or leave it all together.

She looks me in the eyes with the most saddened look on her own face.

"I ..." She struggled to come out with the rest of the sentence.

"Rainbow." I say to her, pulling her into a light hug.

I decide that we should try to change to something more familiar, more ... her.

"Still wanna show me those new tricks?" I say to her, hoping to lighten the mood up.

She looks at me with a smile this time and starts to flap her wings.

I release her from the hug and watch her slowly gain alltitude.

"So ... where should I show you my awesomeness?" She asks me, regaining her usual attitude.

"How about we try higher up." I reply to her, pointing to the sky. (or higher than where we were in it)

She takes to the skies, leaving a faint rainbow coloured trail behind her.

Now thats the Rainbow Dash I remember

In the skies above me I see Rainbow hovering in place.

"HEY! YOU COMING OR WHAT?"

I was unaware that Rainbow was waiting for me up there as I meant just for me to spectate.

"ALRIGHT THEN!" I bellow up to her.

Might as well have some fun with this right?

I stand on the cloud (having found out that I have the ability to stand on them from the episode earlier) and jump off the side.

free-falling ... is there any other way?

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I hear rainbow exclaim from up in the sky.

If I can do this right ...

I begin to focus my energy like before but then I feel something cold pass by me.

"huh?" I open my eyes to see gusts passing me at similar speeds to me own.

"What the hell?"

"Josh!" I hear faintly from Above.

I begin flight and hover in place, astonished at the gusts of wind that passed me just seconds ago.

"This I gotta ask Rainbow about." I say to myself while shooting up towards Rainbow.

After getting close to the clouds in which Rainbow was near to I begin to slow my flight speeds.

"What were you doing?" Rainbow yells to me with anger, confusion and worry on her face all at once.

"I just wanted to test something." I say to her, lightly blushing.

"And what was that?" She asks me, anger still in her voice.

"urm ... I urm." I was really unsure as to what it was I was actually trying to do.

"well?" She asks in an impatient tone.

Think dude, THINK! Why did you do it? ... I know!

"I was Testing how fast I can go before it became difficult to recover from the freefall." I quickly say to her.

"Oh ... well your were falling at a really quick speed. Was it hard then?" Her expession, and voice, had changed from anger to curiosity.

"Thinking back ... no. It was like normal." I answer with a smirk on my face.

"Oh really? How about ..."

She flew towards me and grabbed me around the chest. Straight after we started to dive at incredible speeds.

"... NOW?" She yells above the wind. releasing her grip.

I continue falling for several minutes. enjoying the cool wind passing me as I fall.

"NOW!" I exclaim, sending a downward gust of force as I halt in midair just a few feet from the ground.

"wow. didn't know I could do that."

"That was awesome!"

I turn to see Rainbow gliding past me.

"How did you do that?" She was ecstatic, I could tell.

"Im ... not really sure." Whilst she was ecstatic, I was puzzled as to how I managed to execute a wave of air without pushing the surrounding air downwards on purpose.

"Well I wanna learn!"

"I don't think its that simple Rainbow." I say to her whilst still thinking.

"Awww ... why not?" She seemed slightly irritated at this.

"Im not even unsure as to how I did that without trying."

"But you did it?" Rainbow says, now confused.

"Yeah ... I usually have to focus on surrounding energy and push it in a direction."

"So it's not usually just like that?" Sounding interested suddenly, Rainbow hovers closer.

"No. It usually takes atleast 10 minutes."

"Wow, really?"

She seems really interested in this ...

"Yeah."

I change the subject back to her tricks and we take back to the skies.

I wonder why she was so interested ...

"Rainbow?" I ask, slowing down.

"yeah?" Confusions was plain in her voice.

"Why were you so interested earlier?" Hoping for a good answer from this I pick up speed again.

"Well you said that it was difficult before and you just pulled it off like you've known for years."

OK, that makes sense ... and im still a little confused myself

"OK then."

We continue our accend through the clouds until Rainbow says for us to stop.

"Wow this is high up." I say to her, regretting that I looked down so quickly.

"Yup And were gonna need it too." Rainbow Dash smirks as she starts speeding and performing several different tricks and manuvuers.

"Wow Rainbow. Those tricks at those speeds must be difficult to execute?" A hint of curiosity in the taunt.

Its been an hour and the whole time Rainbow's stunts just keep getting better and better.

"And now, for the finale!" Rainbow bellows out.

"She gonna try the Sonic Rainboom?" Excitment and concern take over as, although awesome, she has difficulty pulling it off.

I watch in hope of success for Rainbow as she will obviously struggle with the RainBoom.

"Come on rainbow. You can do this!"

She starts her dive passing clouds at astonishing speeds and gaining it as she continues.

Better take to a hover for safety

I do as I thought whilst paying close attention to Rainbow, still in a dive towards the ground.

"I hope she pulls this off." Concern clearly in my voice and mind.

I turn for one second to find the cloud I was just on when a loud boom occures beneath me.

"WOAH!"

I look down to see the rainbow spreading across the landscape.

"She did it? ... she did it. HAHAHA SHE DID IT!"

In my ecstatic outburst and cheering I don't realise the rainbow trail leading behind me.

"GUESS WHO?"

"huh?"

I turn around only to be tackled to the cloud beneath me.

"Argh!" I exclaim from surprise.

"Gotcha!" She giggles as I struggle, trying to escape the pin.

"Woah Rainbow."

She releases me from the pin-down and as I regain my footing ...

"I wish I could do something like that." Envy was obvious.

"Why don't you try?" Rainbow says to me with a smile on her face.

"I could, I guess." Hesitation hitting me like a brick.

"Go on then." Rainbow says to me while playfully punching my arm.

I engage flight and take to the skies. rising until rainbow was barely visible.

"Here goes." Hesitation taking it's toll on me.

I focus my energy above me and push downwards for a quick start. I release me flight energy and let gravity take its affect.

After a few minutes I pass rainbow at a similar speed to when she passed me earlier and begin to have my energy use a downward flight pattern for extra speed.

My eyes start to water after a few seconds and I feel something like rubber infront of me.

I look to see that im bending the sound barrier.

"so ... close!"

I push my arms infront of me and use every piece of my energy to continue my fall.

"almost!"

Nearly through, I feel a sudden surge of energy take place in my body and I us it without hesitation.

I feel faster, stronger and more agile.

One more push down and ...

KYABOOM!

... I succeed.

"YES!"

Without losing speed, I sharply turn upwards to begin flight back towards Rainbow.

"WOOHOO!"

I don't even bother to look behind me at whatever trail I may be leaving behind me.

"COMING IN HOT!" I yell as I zoom past the cloud Rainbow was perched on.

"Woah!" Rainbow yells, stumbling over her own hooves.

"YES!" I exclaim, Still ecstatic from the feat I just pulled.

After flying at super-sonic speeds for half an hour I begin to slow down.

"He's faster than me." Rainbow says from the edge of the cloud.

I slow down to a hover and slowly drop down on the cloud across from rainbow.

"I still can't believe I pulled that off!" I say to her with little energy left.

"You look different Josh." Rainbow says to me with a raised eyebrow.

"I do?" I reply back to her while checking myself.

"I don't see whats different."

"It's your hair." pointing, she notes to me the main thing I can't see without a mirror.

I feel around my head and notice that it feels different ... and it standing up.

"what? this is wierd." confusion on my face and in my voice.

"I thought you had dark brown hair before?" A similar look of confusion on her face.

It is brown ... isn't it?

"I think I need a mirror."

"I have one at home. follow me." Before I can say anything she rockets to my right.

"Well ... crap." I say to myself after taking flight.

I hope this doesn't turn nasty.
