I was punched, bucked, and they pulled my mane. I tried to fight back but was outnumbered. Turns out Hoops and Dumbbelle are with them.

"Grab her!" Lightning ordered.

Trixie and Dumbbelle held me so I couldn't move. Trixie was also using her unicorn magic to freeze me.

Lightning smiled deviously. "See what happens Crash? See what happens when you mess with me and try to steal my Soarin? Pain happens! Ultimate pain!" Lightning said laughing histericaly.

"Any last words?"

I looked up at her, my face badly bruised. "F-fuck you Lightning slut, fuck you Trixie Stupidmoon, Fuck you Hoops you big idiot and fuck you-" I didn't finnish my sentence. They beated me up.

Soarin's POV

I was just taking a stroll whistling, just minding my own bussness when I heard.....

"Beat her up! Killl her! Put her out of her misery!" it was Lightning Dust's voice. I grew worried and followed where it was coming from, and reached to an empty hallway.

My eyes widenned when I saw Dash lying on the floor covered in blood. Angered bubbled up. They were laughing and enjoying torturing her.

"Get your filthy hooves off of her!" I screamed. They stopped beating her up and faced me. Lightning and Trixie looked at each other before running off far away from here. Hoops and Dumbbelle grinned.

"Oh yea? And what are you gonna do huh?" Hoops taunted and then trotted towards Dashie. He poked her in the head and I clenched my teeth. "I'll tell you what I'll do....I'll kill you"

"Bring it on" Dumbbelle challenged. I am so angry right now! Nopony hurts my Dashie.

Hoops and Dumbbelle charged towards me. I dodged when Hoops tried to punch me, I flew up and flew down fast and knocked them both, Hoops and Dumbbelle flew up and chased me leading towards the garden. I throwed a few flower pots and vases at them, it hit Dumbbele but Hoops managed to dodge them all.

I ran out ot stuff to throw.

He punched me in the stomach and then bucked my flank. I bucked his face and punched his stomach, then I grabbed his hoof and twisted it hard. "Gah!" He screamed in pain.

And then, I thew him to the ground crashing to a bunch of trash cans. I smirked in triumph and then flew back inside to Dashie.

"Rainbowdash! Dashie are you ok?" I asked worred picking her up and cradling her. "N-no" She said caughing blood.

I panicked and then took her back to my room and then went to the bathroom and emerged back carrying a first aid kit. I took out a bandage and started bandaging her. "Those jerks! If they ever come near you again I'll end them!" I said angrily.

Dash smiled at me. "You were brave back there Soar, thank you" She whispered. "No problem Dashie, just know that I'll always protect you" I awkwardly scratched the back of my head. She giggled a little bit. But then sighed heavily. Her smile beggining to quiver. "Soarin, years ago when I was a little filly, I got beaten up almost everyday, even when I grew up, I tried to fight back, but it only made things worse" She said.

"There were these five colts who loved to torture me, who likes to make my life miserable, I was lucky when I finnaly moved out of ponyville and live in clouds dale, they still haunt me every night in my dreams, years ago when it was my 15 birthday, they cornered me infront of a store and started to harass me......but you know the most painful part?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Ponies saw, but did nothing" then she began to cry. "Dashie, its ok, nopony will bother you anymore, not aslong as we're here, me, Spitfire, Wave chill, Fleetfoot, Rapidfire, Misty, everyone of our friends!" I cooed.

More tears came. "But....you are the first pony to ever do something to defend me, your....your my hero Soarin" She said burying her face in my chest. I stroked her mane, whispering sweet nothings to her.

"I....I'm scared Soarin" She whimpered. "Dashie I told you, You don't have to be afraid aslong as I am here" I assured.

"No....Its a diffirent fear, I'm scared because....recently I've been forming feelings for somepony, feelings that I felt once before with another colt, but only to be treated like I was nothing but a piece of twig to play with and then throw away" She sobbed.

"I'm scared that....if I fall inlove with him completely, he'll might not feel the same, and then I'll end up getting hurt all over again"

I felt dissapointed. She's inlove with somepony else huh? I guess I'm hopeless, she'll never be mine if she's already starting to fall for another colt. But who is he anyway? C-could he be....me? NO! REMEMBER What they say about something that's too good to be true?! It can't be me? Can't it.

"M-might I ask what this colt's name is?" I questioned. She pulled away from me, cheeks red. "Uhhhhh....his name?"

"Yup"

She gulped and looked away from me. Her eyes darting left and right and she looked nervous and embarrassed.

"His name is...Sssssss" She trailed on the letter S like a snake.

"Ssssss what?"

"So...Sa....ummm Sorun?" She said gulping.

"Sorun?" I repeated. What kind of a stupid name is that?!

"Ummm yea! Sorun....O Cool" She finnished. "So his name is Sorun O' Cool?" I skepticaly asked. She nodded sheepishly. "Uhhh lucky guy" I said faking a smile. She awkwardly laughed. "Ahahaha y-yea"

"What does he look like?"

"Uhhh he's um, his mane is pale blue, his eyes are navy blue and his coat is a handsome shade of green" She said and then looked at me dreamely. I waved a hoof at her. "Dash? Dashie!" I snapped and she snapped out of trance. "W-w-well, that's him alright! He's soo atheletic, handsome, muscular, manly, brave, strong, loyal" she went on yapping about her dream colt.

I felt jelouse, whoever that colt is, well he can't have her! She's mine! She belongs to me and only me! What part of MY Dashie do them colts don't understand?!

"Soarin, you ok?" Dash asked concerned.

I nodded gritting my teeth. Then she shyly looked away. "Ummm thanks again for saving me, you deserve a reward" She said shyly.

"The only reward I want, is for you to be mine" I muttered.

"Sorry what was that?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly. Her blush deepend. "Uhh promise me you won't tell anyone ok? Not even our friends, it'lll totaly ruin my twenty percent cooler reputation" She said glaring at me. I gulped.

"P-promise"

She smiled. "Uhh ok close your eyes" She instructed. I looked confused a but obeyed nonetheless.

Then.....I felt soft and warm lips on mine. I opened my eyes and saw Dashie kissing me. I felt butterflies in my stomach, the kiss lasted a minutes but it felt forever.

She was red in the face. "W-well, see you in class later ok?" She said giggling before leaving the room.

I stood there frozen. But then a goofy grin appeared on my face.

"Yes!" I cheered and then jumped on my bed. I felt my lips. My lips that was touched by Dash's own lips. I can't be sure if this was her first kiss. But its definitely mine.

Now, I'm sure that she'll be mine. Becuase if she won't then why wouldn't she kiss me? And that stallion? Pfft he's probably gonna be forgotten by her.

Two good things happened today. One, I got to avenge Dashie, and two? I got a kiss from her as my reward.
