Te Amo, Rainbow Dash - Act 2, Scene 4

(The stage is dark. There is a white flash of light with a roll of thunder. The stage lights up to show Whitetail Wood, again under the blue moonlight but now with puddles on the ground and the sound of rain pouring. There is also raindrops rolling off the leaves and rain falling onto the stage. Rainbow Dash and Soarin both enter the stage. A spotlight shines on Rainbow Dash.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Come on Dashie, just go up to him and say it! But say what? I can't just say 'I love you' to his face. He might think I'm an obsessed fan. Try to talk to him. Maybe that'll lower his nerves. But, how do you know he's nervous? Just use one of your pick-up lines your friends taught you in high school. But which one? No! Pick-up lines only work in the movies. They'll get you nowhere in the real world Dashie! So, what do I do now? I just don't know!"

(The spotlight goes out and another shines on Soarin.)

(Soarin)

"It's easy Soarin. Just go up and tell her. You've spend all your time preparing for this. You've got the looks, you've got the correct attitude, you just need to go and tell her. You spent not yesterday but the day before to practise chatting up mares. All you need to do now is just go up to Rainbow Dash and tell her how you feel about her."

(Just as the spotlight turns off, Soarin notices Rainbow Dash.)

"Hey! Rainbow Dash!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh no! I'm not ready to talk to him!"

(She flies off, leaving Soarin alone. He runs to the centre of the stage, where the rain is intense.)

(Soarin)

"Rainbow Dash wait!"

(She doesn't return. After a while, Soarin falls to his knees as 'Day of Night' begins to play.)

"No. No it can't be like this! Rainbow Dash can't leave me here! She can't! I love her! I'd never let her go! I'd never let her live her days alone!"

(He starts crying.)

"Rainbow Dash! I can't bear to live my life without you! Don't leave me in the Whitetail Woods alone! I'd spend an entire million years just to stay close with you. Is my message not clear to you? Am I speaking an entirely different language to yours? Je t'aime! Ik hou van je! Ich liebe dich! Rakastan sinua! Seni seviyorum! Bottom line Rainbow Dash: I LOVE YOU!"

(He then cries into his hooves. After a few seconds, a twig snapping is heard. He stops crying and looks towards where the sound came from. Rainbow Dash emerges, her mane and coat dirty with patchs of mud, leaves and twigs stuck to her. She is also soaking wet from the rain. Soarin gasps and slowly stands upon seeing her in her ruined state.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"I heard your outburst and every single word you said. And, I feel the same way about you."

(Soarin)

"Wait. So-?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes Soarin. I love you too."

(Soarin slowly smiles and whimpers a bit in happiness before walking up to Rainbow Dash and kissing her in the middle of the stage, shutting his eyes. Rainbow Dash herself looks shocked as her eyes open wide. When he pulls away, Soarin sees his lover's shocked expression.)

(Soarin)

"Oh, I'm sorry Rainbow Dash! I-I-I-I just don't know what came over me. And-."

(He unfurls his wings ready to fly away. But just before he can escape-.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Wait Soarin! Don't go. Please. I kinda like that. Truth be told, until tonight, I never kissed a colt before."

(Soarin)

"You haven't?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"No. I mean, sure. I've dated some colts before back when I was in high school, but I never had the chance to kiss them and when I did, I couldn't work up the nerve. Besides, you're the one colt I wish to spend the rest of my life with. So from a long time admirer, I ask you, can we do that again?

(Soarin)

"Ki-kiss again?"

(Rainbow Dash)

(Nodding) "Uh huh."

(Soarin smiles.)

(Soarin)

"Well, if that's what you desire, then it shall be forfilled!"

(Soarin then tackles Rainbow Dash to the ground, getting equally dirty as Rainbow Dash in the process, and passionately kisses her. Rainbow Dash, underneath Soarin, shuts her eyes and kisses him back. The rain soaking into their skin and mane as with a quick motion, Rainbow Dash rolls Soarin over so she's on top of him. After a few seconds, the two break for air.)

"Te amo, Rainbow Dash."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Anchi'io te amo, Soarin"

(Soarin)

"You speak Italian as well?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I learned a little bit in high school. It was many years ago, but I still remember a little bit of it."

(Rainbow Dash climbs off Soarin, who brushes the leaves and twigs off his now dirty Wonderbolts uniform.)

"I could teach you if you want sometime from now."

(Soarin)

"I'd be happy to do anything with you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Soarin, I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time. So, with all concerns and worries aside, will you, be my coltfriend?"

(Soarin)

"Anything for my mare. I love you so much, it would be heartless of me to say no to you."

(Rainbow Dash walks over to Soarin, placing a hoof onto his cheek.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"I love you too Soarin. Not even death will keep us both apart."

(Rainbow Dash then leans forward and kisses Soarin, who kisses her back. After a few seconds, lightning flashes and thunder rolls which makes them break once again.)

"We'll catch ourselves colds if we stay out here for too long."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I best get going coltfriend. I'll see you another time."

(Rainbow Dash is about to leave.)

(Soarin)

"Wait Rainbow Dash! How would you, as my marefriend, like to spend the night with me?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"You, you really mean that?"

(Soarin)

"Any thing for you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'd be happy too!"

(Soarin takes Rainbow Dash's hoof in his.)

(Soarin)

"Poi prendiamo attenzione, il mio amore!"

(The two leave the stage, hoof in hoof.)
