Transformers: Equestria - Chapter 1

It was Equestria's most important event, a night filled with joy and happiness. That was her chance to meet up with those she had always dreamed of joining. Yes. It was them, the best flyers in the country. She was very happy and excited to meet up with them, to tell them about how honored she was to have a talk with them. Who knew? Maybe they would let her in. She was absolutely positive that they'd let her in, especially that the princess, in her letter to Twilight, said that she would perform a sonic rainboom, and since the team would be there, they'd surely watch her doing it and automatically sign her in. The Wonderbolts, her dream team, would be there, and she'd be able to show them how capable she was. What else could be better? Surely nothing to her. Among them, though, there was one in particular whom she had a great interest on meeting and knowing more about: Soarin.

The changelings, along with their queen, were banished by the power of love, the seventh element of harmony. Now, it was time to dance. While everypony, or almost everypony, enjoyed their time, Rainbow Dash was left alone. She was searching for anyone who would dance with her, one who would keep her company. But how? Everypony else was busy. Depression filled her head. This had always been her. Bullied throughout her life, left alone on important events. No wonder why her attitude had been like that. She started walking around, her head down, her eyes slightly closed, her hopes gone. It was the same feeling at the Gala, when she was constantly ignored. She sat on a chair in front of a table, her elbows on the surface, her head held on by her hooves. She was thinking. 'My life had been a living Tartarus. Why me? What have I ever done to the world?'. Then her mind brought something else to her memo: the Young Flyers Competition. She remembered it well, how she won the golden cup, as well as spending the day with her idols. One of them, though, was fascinated by her; by her looks, her flying style, her voice....everything. That was Soarin, the Wonderbolts team second-in-command. He learned so much about her that day, and what pained him the most, is her life. How she was opressed by other ponies, especially colts, and how she ended up as a weather pony when she deserved a better job. He felt sad for her, and since then, he was determined to change her life to the better. Dashie remembered Soarin saying "You deserve what's better than this."

Rainbow was silently weeping, with her tears falling from her rosey eyes and onto the table surface. That was until she heard a gentle voice coming from her 12 o'clock.

"You okay?" these were the words in that voice. She sniffed before lifting up her head. There he was. There, stood Soarin, with his blue suit. He looked directly at her, his face looking a little gloomy for seeing her in this state. Dashie's eyes widened. She couldn't believe it. It wasn't any stallion, but the one she wanted to meet up with, the one who told her that she didn't deserve to be humiliated and tortured.

"W...well....I....I...." she couldn't answer. Was it because of her surprise to see him, or the sadness in her heart? She couldn't tell. The light cyan Wonderbolt advanced towards her until he was slightly less than a meter from her. His sharp emerald eyes met her beautiful rosey ones. He extended a hoof to wipe the tears off her eyes. As she felt it touch her face, Rainbow Dash blushed deeply. Never in her life had a stallion treated her so gently and respectfully. Was she wrong about them? That all colts were bad? Was it possible that, among all the bad guys, there is a good one? All the hatred and bullying she faced....could there really be somepony who would understand her? These thoughts made the rainbow-maned pegasus confused, yet hopeful. Adding to that: a Wonderbolt to pull her out of her misery.

"Why are you crying, miss.....? Excuse me. I forgot your name." the Wonderbolt broke the silence with his statement. He was determined to understand her so that he could banish the sadness away from her. He wasn't about to give up. He wasn't about to stop until he breaks the chains that hold her prisoner in the jail of misery.

"R...Rainbow Dash....my name's...Rainbow Dash." she managed to say it through sniffs. Was it real? That Soarin would be the one who would bash away the bad memories that contaminated her mind? She still had her hopes up since she told him about how horrible her life was. And that statement he said, "You deserve better than this."; did he really mean it? Did he really think she deserves better? Dash became positive about it when she felt his hoof on her face.

"That's a beautiful name you got there, miss Dash." Soarin replied with a smile. Wait. He said it before, she thought. It was the same thing he said when they hanged out together after the Young Fliers Competition. She blushed even more, a slight smile coming upon her lips. Her tears were still pouring from her eyes. "You still haven't told me why are you crying." the Wonderbolt spoke again. This time, his voice tone was a bit stronger than before, as if he was demanding an answer from her. That fact was: he didn't. He simply wanted to know what made her cry. He wiped the new tears off her eyes once again so that she could speak.

"Look at them." she answered, looking at the other ponies who were dancing and enjoying themselves. "They're all busy with eachother, and I got nopony to even talk to. I feel like I'm left alone. It's always like this." RD's head dropped to the table surface after saying this. Soarin felt that he had to do something to get her out of her misery. Looking around him before coming back to her, he extended his right forehoof with a smile.

"May I have this dance, miss Rainbow Dash?" politely, he asked. Dash just froze in her place. Never in her life had a colt spoke so nicely to her. They were just too harsh on her, and this gave her that manly attitude. But now, this? A stallion talking too nicely to her? That was something new, yet somewhat....relieving. The rainbow-maned mare blushed even more with a smile. "Let me help you get out of this."

"Sure. And don't call me miss. That goes for the likes of Rarity, not me." Dashie got off the chair she was sitting on and took his hoof. They both wrapped their right forehooves around eachother's necks and, slowly, started circling, moving along the rythym of the music while holding eachother's left hooves. Rainbow still had that blush on her face.

"Yes, ma'am." the Wonderbolt replied while putting his head over her right shoulder and sniffing her mane. He inhaled deeply, sensing the aroma that was coming out from that colorful mane of hers. God how really good she smelled. It was like....a mix of different smells of fresh fruits. It was so heavenly. Rainbow was in the same situation. For once in her life, she believed she had a savior: Soarin, who will demolish the prison of humiliation she was put in, break the chains she was being hanged to the wall with, and fly her to safety. "By the way, you're a good dancer." he complimented.

Rainbow Dash giggled at his last statement. "Well, I was never good at that....until you came along. I don't know. I just suddenly....became good at it." she responded. An idea just got into the stallion's mind while she didn't know it, until she noticed his wings being extended a little bit. She took her head off his shoulder and looked at him. His face....wow, how good-looking he was. He was just....perfect.

"How about we take this one up a little?" the question escaped his mouth and traveled to her ears. Dashie quickly understood the message as her wings began to extend.

"You got it." answered the rainbow-maned pegasus. Then, both of them, and at the same exact moment, took off to the skies to perform something only the pegasus race knew: Sky Dance. It comprised of several acrobatic moves the duo would perform, ending up with the mare getting into a situation of freefall, with the stallion waiting for her to fall into his hooves, all in mid air. From the ground, everypony else, including Dashie's friends, the three princesses, and the other Wonderbolts were watching them. Some gasped from amazement; others smiled at their graceful moves. Like two angels, Rainbow and Soarin were performing all the steps correctly before the Wonderbolt descended a couple of meters while she increased her altitude. When she reached the peak, Dash simply let gravity take over her as she slowly began falling slowly before accelerating. Several seconds have passed before she felt two hooves catching her, still in mid air. She opened her eyes, meeting the Wonderbolt's face. They smiled at eachother. The rainbow pony never felt more attracted and secure before. Why was that feeling seeping into her? Scratch that. Who cares? Her savior was there, holding her with his forehooves.

"You're so beautiful." these words that came from Soarin's mouth entered her ears as she blused once again.
"Th...thanks." she turned her head away slightly while her eyeballs still met his gaze. Could it be? Could it be that there would always be someone who would understand her? Her friends did, but now, she was dealing with a colt, not another mare. She realized how wrong she was when judged all colts to be stupid and rude, but Soarin was different. He was sweet, gentle, respectful, and noble. Among all colts, he understood her situation well and was determined to make it better. At a slow rate, their mouths closed in until each of them felt the other's lips. Around them, time froze, as if nothing was out in the world except for them and the kiss.
