My Past is a Lie (Soarindash)

31 - Hidden Truths

The spotlights that illuminated our faces intensified as we did a double somersault in the air.

- And Surprise does a double somersault with Spitfire while Rainbow does the same with Thunderlane! - The announcer announced on the speakers that surrounded the venue - Will Soarin be able to do it with Fire Streak? - His voice sounded suspenseful - Oh, yes!

I spun at full speed above the audience. The wind blowing through my mane really calms me down, especially now that I've been having some pains because of the pregnancy.

As we landed, Spitfire shook her hooves at the ponies: - It was a pleasure to do the show here for you, know that it was the biggest and most complicated one we've ever done! - The audience exploded in applause.

I looked at everyone, proud of myself and my friends. They were waiting for me -- the fastest and most incredible Pegasus in Equestria -- to say something.

- It was a pleasure to do the show here.  I hope you can count on my exclusive presence at the next one - I winked at them, my friends rolled their eyes amicably.

- What would our presentation be if Crash didn't show off? - Spit joked and called us to sign autographs. I was already leaving when I looked at the ponies there and smiled, but my attention was drawn to one that was watching me from afar, his eyes seemed wide and he looked extremely... familiar. I stopped, stared at the pony, but still didn't recognize him. I-

- Come on Crash, what are you doing standing there?

I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard my captain's voice, I realized that everyone was waiting for me, except Surprise, who had already gone ahead and started signing her autographs. I gathered myself and returned to my post, still thinking about the pony.

- Is everything okay? - Soarin appeared next to me, stamping the fans' pictures while talking to me.  - I'm fine, just... thinking.

- About me? - He smiled, his characteristic flirtatious smile plastered on his face. - No... - I laughed, he grimaced - It's about a pony I saw in the middle of the audience, he seemed so familiar, but at the same time so unreal... - Soar made a confused expression. - Should we worry?

- ...I don't think so - I answered, after that deciding to let the subject go. It shouldn't be anything that important.

I saw the sunflowers being blown away from their stems because of the wind. It seems to be strong for them, but for me it's fine. Yesterday was a tiring day, mainly because of the show. I was coming from the Everfree Forest with a basket of raspberries for Fluttershy. The poor mare was too busy to go today.

I smiled as I flew freely, I love doing my acrobatics alone, without my friends watching me. My wings move at a slow speed, I'm not in a hurry.  I know Flutters isn't that impatient, and a little rest is all I need right now.

You might be wondering: where's Soarin? Well, I left him making me some surprise dessert, his idea. I don't know what's going to happen, he'll probably end up burning down the house-

- Ouch! - I crashed brutally into something, or rather, someone. My wings, which were flapping before, stopped and made me fall to the ground. Lucky for me I wasn't flying that high. The pony I crashed into didn't seem to have seen me either. My vision adjusted to the light after the crash, and I saw the individual offering me his hoof. I didn't hold him, I didn't need help. I got up by myself, looking at my basket of raspberries, now on the floor. Fluttershy hates it when the food she has to give to the animals is dirty and she has to wash it. Argh...

- I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I wasn't even paying attention-

I interrupted my own words when I saw who was there, in front of me.  The pony also seemed surprised, I dare say even scared.
