Of The Past That Haunts Us [Soarindash]

Chapter 7- That Escalated Quickly...

"Why was that so hard?!" Dash exclaimed in annoyance as she walked through the front door of her cloud home.

The four pegasi had tried to do some basic team formations and exercises to help Rainbow get comfortable in working with others to made sure she didn't freeze up or earn any injuries during practice or the show.

They had gone outside and tried but...it didn't go very well.

"Oh come on, Dash. From what I've heard, you'll get this down in no time!" Soarin smiled and punched her shoulder. Spitfire nodded.

"I agree. I haven't seen talent like yours in a long time. I understand it's easy to get frustrated but you just need to practice."

"Honestly though, I never knew it was that hard. You guys make it look so easy! It was just when one of you got really close to me, my wings just reacted and...froze up. I couldn't do anything!" Dash expressed her frustration.

"Yeah, it's pretty annoying." Soarin agreed.

"Hm," she awkwardly forced a smile as he tilted his head and rose an eyebrow. Luckily, Fleetfoot spoke up.

"I think I agree with Dash. 'Hm,'" she quoted. "Not, being very helpful!"

"Ha." Soarin laughed dryly.

Rainbow rolled her eyes, swallowing the lump in her throat. She glanced at the clock to her right and her eyes widened.

"Uh, guys!" She began hurriedly. "I have to go help Rarity with a dress she wants me to model. She'll have my head if I'm late, I'll be back in a few hours. Have lunch and do other shit without me!" And with that, she rushed out the door closing it with a 'thud'!

As she was about to take off, her ears perked up to the sound of hoofsteps behind her. Dash took a glance and saw a bit of navy blue mane exiting the door.

She gritted her teeth and took off as fast as she could faintly hearing the baby blue pegasus calling out to her.

That was close, she sighed.

Back on the clouds of Rainbow's home, Soarin swore he saw her glance towards him.

Carousel Boutique was standing as proud as ever.

In light of recent events, Rarity's boutique had been the talk of Equestria. Her business sales had increased in Canterlot, Manehattan and even Ponyville!

Quite a few ponies had visited the boutique and praised her for the amazing quality and rarity of her clothing even in a small town like this.

Needless to say, Rarity was very busy most of the day, yet made time to spend with her friends just as much.

Today was not one one of those days, but she still found a way. She had asked Rainbow to model a dress for a new clothing range coming up. It was a perfect way to work and hang out with Dash.

"Sorry I'm late Rares." The rainbow maned pegasus entered the boutique in a hurry. "I got caught up in a few things." She stopped and caught her breath looking at the fashionista who was levitating some different colored materials across the room.

"Oh! It's quite alright, dear. Come, we can get started right away!" Rarity pushed her towards the back area making her stand on a small platform, immediately bringing over a few pins and needles.

"Careful with those!" Dash eyed the sharp, pointy, metal instruments of death.

"Oh don't worry, Rainbow!" Rarity assured. "I will try my best not to poke you." She levitated over a beautiful magenta colored silk, draping it over her back. "How are the Wonderbolts? Haven't seen them since our lovely lunch!"
