Chapter 1 – The Summer Sun Celebration
As the two ponies walked into the café the shop owners spotted them.
"Oh who do we have here? Rainbow Dash, you never told us you had a special somepony." The mare exclaimed.
Dash blushed in embarrassment. "Mrs. Cake, please...he's just a friend. Besides, I just met the guy today."
"Aw, but don't you two look just adorable."
Blue Shadow blushed in embarrassment too. "You're too kind."
"How 'bout I get you two a couple's shake huh?"
The two Pegasus blushed more.
The chubby mare giggled. "I'm just pushing your buttons."
Shadow looked at Rainbow. "She doesn't do this to everyone or is it just me?"
"No, I think it's just you."
"You've got to be kidding right?"
"Nope, but hey, don't take that as an insult; I mean look at you! Your coat is the perfect shade of cobalt, your mane is such a dark color it contrasts to me, actually, aside from your cutie mark, everything about you contrasts to me."
"What're you talking about?"
"Well, you're laid back, you're on the Wonderbolts, and above all you're passionate from what I can see."
Shadow's face turned red as he looked away slightly. "Aw stop it you're makin me blush." He said in a Manehattan style voice.
Dash giggled a little.
"I mean it Dash."
"Okay, I get it." She said; a giggle still in her voice.
Mrs. Cake set down a couple's glass shake and silently went into the back.
Shadow looked beside him at the table and saw the shake and looked a little confused. "W-we're missing one."
Rainbow looked at the couple's shake and blushed a little. "That is the two...put together dopey." She teased.
Blue Shadow's face flushed a dark red-ish purple (seen as how his coat is cobalt); making Dash giggle more.
"What's wrong? Afraid to share a shake with me?"
"N-no, it's just that I've never shared a shake with any mare...ever..."
"Ever?! A stallion like you?! Really?"
Shadow nodded.
"Well then, today's your lucky day!"
"Why's that?"
"You're gonna chug this with me." The mare said.
"O-okay." Shadow said with a slight shrug.
Dash smiled and sat on one side of the table.
Blue sat on the opposite side to her.
The two ponies put their mouths on the straws in front of them and slurped the shake together; watching the cherry on top slowly sink to the bottom. Once the cherry hit the bottom the two looked into each other's eyes; ash blue orbs meeting hot pink ones.
"Who gets the cherry?" Dash asked.
"I dunno, but if you want it you can have it."
"Okay, but I have an idea."
"Okay."
The cyan mare used her straw to suck the cherry up and she put it on the table. "Hold onto the stem for me.
"Okay." Blue said before taking hold of the cherry stem with his teeth.
Dash pulled the cherry itself off the stem and ate it; leaving the stem in Blue's mouth. "Now, tie a knot with it."
"With what? The stem?" The cobalt stallion asked with his teeth clenched.
"Yup. Tie a knot with the stem." The mare repeated.
"Okay." Blue said before he took the stem into his mouth.
Dash watched the stallion's mouth move for a couple moments and put a napkin down for him.
Shadow put a knot on the napkin. "There, a cherry stem tied in a knot."
"Impressive, only a minute and you did it."
"Now what?"
"Can we have one more cherry please?" Dash called.
Mr. Cake brought out a second cherry.
"Thanks." She said before taking the stem in her mouth.
Mr. Cake nodded and walked into the back.
"Now you eat the cherry." The mare said with her teeth clenched.
Blue hesitantly took the cherry off the stem and ate it.
In an instant Dash took the stem into her mouth.
The stallion watched as Rainbow Dash's mouth moved for a couple moments and put a napkin down for her as she had done for him.
Dash put a knot down on the napkin; just as fast as Blue had. "We're even."
"Wow, fast..."
"Just like you." Dash said with a smile.
Shadow returned the smile and looked at the clock. "Aw crud!"
"What's wrong?"
"I have to get ready for my flight show for the Celebration!"
"Are you gonna be there for Twilight's party?"
"Yeah, and I'll be there when Celestia raises the sun so I'll find you then okay?"
"Okay. I'll see you then."
"Okay." He said; giving the mare a quick kiss on her forehead; making her blush. He quickly left and grabbed his Wonderbolts uniform and went to rehearsal.

Shadow got to the library just in time with a present for Twilight and gave it to Pinkie.
Pinkie then turned the lights off.
Shadow made his way to Rainbow Dash; finding it surprisingly easy to see her in the pitch black darkness of the room.
Dash moved closer to the Pegasus and blushed unnoticeably.
The lights turned on minutes later; revealing a shocked purple unicorn and baby dragon.
"Why do you look so surprised? It's a party!" Pinkie asked Twilight.
"Yes, but I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet." Twilight said.
"What kind of fun would a quiet party be?"
"Not a fun one!" Shadow said with a smile.
"Exactly." Pinkie said. "So let's party!"
Everyone cheered and the loud music started.
Twilight poured herself a drink and was greeted by the other six she met for the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration.
"Isn't this a lovely party? Pinkie must've spent hours planning this for you as soon as she met you." A white unicorn said; an elegant accent about her voice.
"Yup, she told each and every one of us about the party as soon as she met you." A southern accented Earth pony said; tipping her hat slightly.
"Well, it is Pinkie Pie after all." A shy sounding Pegasus said.
"Yeah, she always throws the best parties." Rainbow added.
Twilight looked at them. "So...you guys know each other how?"
"Well, Pinkie Pie threw each of us a Welcome Party as soon as she found out about our arrival to Ponyville." Shadow said.
Spike ate some of the cake. "This is a great party!"
Pinkie smiled. "Thanks."
Shadow looked at Twilight. "So are you staying up to see Celestia raise the sun?"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I have some subjects to read up on."
"Twilight, you're already so smart, take a break, chill, and make some more friends."
"More friends?"
"Yeah. You already have the six of us." The white unicorn said. She looked at Shadow. "I don't recall meeting you though. What is your name?"
"Blue Shadow, and you are?"
"Rarity, the owner of Carrousel Boutique."
"Ah nice."
"Allow me to introduce the other ladies."
"Please, go right ahead." He said charmingly.
"This is Applejack. She runs Sweet Apple Acres."
"Howdy there partner, y'all lookin mighty fine Mr. Shadow."
"Please, Mr. Shadow is my Grandfather, call me Blue Shadow."
"How bout Blue?"
"Sure."
"Alrighty then, Blue it is." The cowpony said with a smile.
Shadow smiled.
"This is Fluttershy." Rarity said.
The shy Pegasus waved a little. "H-hi Blue Shadow...n-nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." He said sweetly.
"I guess you already know Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash so that's it. Now you know all six of us."
By the time Rarity finished, Twilight had disappeared upstairs.
"Hey! Where'd Twilight go?" Pinkie asked.
"She probably went upstairs." Blue said. "I'll go get her." He said before going upstairs to the mare's room. He gently knocked on the door.
"What?"
He poked his head in. "Aren't you gonna come downstairs? It's almost time for the flight show and the raising of the sun. You don't wanna miss that." He said as he walked into the room and shut the door so they could hear each other.
Twilight walked down from her bed and up to the stallion in front of her bed room door, and her eyes met his. "I wanted to get to know you better, but you were too caught up with going to Sugar Cube Corner with Rainbow Dash."
"I...I-uh...sorry about that, but I just have one question..."
"And what's that?"
"W-why're so close to me?"
"No reason, just seeing what your eyes can tell me." She lied as she stared into his ash blue orbs.
"What do they tell you then?"
"They tell me you want something."
"Like what?"
Twilight leaned in closer, and soon enough their snouts met.
Blue Shadow's eyes widened as he felt the unicorn in front of him inch closer and closer to him.
Twilight pulled away and saw how deep of a red his face had turned; his hair flopping into his face. "Shadow? Are you okay?"
"I-I uh...Y-yeah. I just came to tell you that you should enjoy the party while its here." The stallion stuttered before leaving.
Twilight followed him downstairs and everyone was still having a wonderful time; a very faint smile appeared on her muzzle.
~ Time Skip ~
All the ponies gathered outside as the wonderbolt team flew overhead and performed their spectacular tricks.
Mares squealed and giggled over the stallions of the group as they soared through the night sky.
Rainbow Dash watched in awe as Blue Shadow led the very last trick of the night. "Wow...I wish I was flying with him right now...that would be so awesome." She thought as the trick was finished.
The team of Wonderbolts landed and waved as the crowd cheered and whistled. Each pony on the team pushed their goggles down so they sat around their necks.
Shadow slid his hood off and saw Dashy in the crowd when his eyes immediately after his eyes opened.
"Give it up for the Wonderbolts!" Mayor Mare said.
The crowd cheered louder and stomped on the ground.
"What a spectacular show. Now, let's give them some time to cool down and let's all head inside for the raising of the sun!" The Mayor said.
Every pony in the crowd made their way into the building to watch Princess Celestia raise the sun; leaving a certain rainbow-manned mare alone with the team of Wonderbolts.
"Dashy!" Shadow called.
Rainbow blushed a little and ran to him and hugged him. "That was awesome!"
"Thanks."
"Is this your special somepony Blue?" A mare with a fire colored mane asked.
"N-no, she's just a friend." Shadow said with a small blush.
"Well don't be silly, introduce us." The mare said.
"Spitfire, this is Rainbow Dash."
The mare smiled and walked over to Dash and Shadow.
"Nice to meet you. Glad to hear you enjoyed our show."
"I loved it, especially the Celestial Sun."
"Huh, a pony who knows her tricks."
"I know more than just that one ma'am."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I know the Fire Cracker, the Winged Split, the Blue Angel, and all the others too."
"The Blue Angel too? Huh, so she does know you Shadow."
"Like I'd lie."
'True."
"Introduce her to the others, I'll be inside."
"Ok."
Spitfire walked inside the gazebo to wait.
"Soarin, Fleetfoot; this is Rainbow Dash. She's a big fan of us."
"Nice to meet you both." Rainbow said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too." Fleetfoot said. "But I'll see you guys inside okay?"
"Okay." They said.
Fleetfoot trotted inside, found Spitfire, and sat with her.
"So, Rainbow Dash." Soarin started.
"Yes?"
"You wanna hang out sometime?"
"Sure. Sounds like fun." She said with a smile.
"Cool, you wanna go inside?"
"Yeah." Dash said looking at Blue. "Are you gonna come too Blue?"
"I'm gonna head home and take my suit off, I'll meet you guys inside." He said as he took off.
Rainbow Dash simply waved and walked inside with Soarin.
Blue needed to time to clear his head; he had no idea what just happened between Dash and Soarin. He shrugged it off and went into his house and to his room. He quickly took his suit off; leaving his goggles on and turned the house lights off. Once he was outside he then took off for the gazebo.
"Alright everypony, please welcome as she raises the sun for our Annual Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Celestia." Blue heard the Mayor say; he was just in time.
He found his friends and stood by them.
Everypony watched as the curtains opened, but nopony stepped out to the balcony overseeing the crowd. There was a collective gasp that filled the room.
"She's gone!" Rarity announced.
