A/N: this is a soarindash story (by request) that takes place before rainbow comes out.

Rainbow: *whispering on the phone* when can I see you again? I miss you.

Soarin: *chuckling softly* tomorrow dashie and I miss you too.

Rainbow: *quickly* my dad coming gotta go bye soarin!

Soarin: bye dashie love you.

Rainbow: love you too.

She quickly ended the phone call and went back to reading her Harry Potter book. Bow had come upstairs to fetch rainbow down for dinner.

Bow hothoof: who were you on the phone to rainbow?

Rainbow: *nervously* no one important dad.

Bow hothoof: *skeptical but let's it slide* ok we'll dinner is almost ready.

Rainbow: ok I'm coming.

Rainbow hadn't told her parents that she had boyfriend, he dad was very protective and would interrogate anyone, who went near his daughter. On the other her mum was someone who wanted to be friends with anyone rainbow was seeing or interested in, and she would embarrass rainbow by trying to hard. For these reasons she'd kept her relationship with soarin a secret. But they'd been dating for 3 months and they really did like each other, rainbow knew she would have to tell her parents about him at some point.

*during dinner*

Bow hothoof: this chicken is delicious honey.

Windy whistles: *smiling* I'm glad you're enjoying it dear.

Scootaloo: *rolls her eyes* dad always enjoys chicken.

Bow hothoof: *winks* you know it champ!

Windy whistles: how is it dashie?

Rainbow: it's good mum. Hey can I ask you both something?

Windy whistles: sure sweetie what is it?

Rainbow: I've got a friend I'd like you to meet, is it ok if I bring him over for dinner one day.

Bow hothoof: he? This wouldn't happen to be the person you were on the phone to, would it rainbow dash?

Rainbow: *nervously scratches her head and chuckles* heh heh.

Windy whistles: *puts her arm on bows shoulder* now bow we shouldn't judge let's meet the boy.

Bow hothoof: *sighs* ok.

*soarin comes for dinner*

Today was the day that bow and Windy were finally going to meet soarin, they'd both promised to be on their best behaviour, but rainbow was still apprehensive.

Rainbow: *the door bell rings* he's here please don't embarrass me.

Windy whistles: dashie relax, we've promised that we'll behave and that's what we'll do.

Rainbow: ok.

She went to the door and opened it to find soarin standing there with a bunch of flowers.

Rainbow: aww soarin you shouldn't have.

Soarin: *chuckling* these are for your mum dashie to try and break the ice. But you can this instead.

He wrapped his arms around her waist as he pressed little light kisses to her lips, he was about to get deeper with the kiss when rainbows parents came over.

Bow hothoof: *clears his throat* ahem!

Rainbow: dad! We wasn't doing anything!

Bow hothoof: *not believing her* huh uh sure.

Rainbow: *groaning* dad you promised you would behave.

Windy whistles: and he will. Hello soarin I'm windy whistles, rainbows mother.

She offer her hand out to soarin and he gladly shakes it.

Soarin: hello Mrs whistles I'm soarin. *remembers the flowers* oh! These are for you.

Windy whistles: *takes the flowers from soarin* oh there lovely! Come on dinner is almost ready.

*at dinner*

Windy whistles: is the food ok for you soarin?

Soarin: yes Mrs whistles is amazing!

Windy whistles: thank you dear. And you don't have to call me Mrs whistles, windy is fine.

Soarin: *smiling* ok thank you windy!

Bow hothoof: *quickly* but you still have to call me mr hothoof!

Rainbow: *groaning* dad.

Bow hothoof: I'm just making sure we all know what we're doing dashie.

Windy whistles: anyway soarin tell us a bit about yourself. How old are you? What do you do?

Soarin: well I'm 16...

Bow hothoof: *in his protective father voice* 16?! You do realise rainbows only 14 right?!

Rainbow: dad stop he knows how old I am.

Bow hothoof: ok just making sure he's not planning any funny business dear.

Rainbow: * embarrassed* dad please!

Windy whistles: bow quit jumping to conclusions and let the poor boy finish what he was saying. *to soarin* go on dear.

Soarin: ok so I'm 16 and I'm in college.

Rainbow: soarin wants to become a graphic designer.

Rainbow: dad please stop.

Soarin: mr hothoof I love your daughter and I want to do what is best for her.

Windy whistles: we believe you soarin. Don't we bow?

Bow hothoof: I suppose so.

Bow hothoof: *chuckles* exactly.

Soarin: *waves to bow and Windy* bye both i hope I'll see you again some day.

Bow and Windy wave back and then washed the dishes whilst rainbow and soarin said goodbye.

*at the door*

Soarin: so how did I do dashie?

Rainbow: you did good I think they liked you.

Soarin: I hope so because i plan on being around for a long time.

Rainbow: glad to hear it.

They started kissing and then they heard someone shout.

Bow hothoof: *shouts from the kitchen* no kissing in this house!

Rainbow and soarin laughed and he left.
