The sky seemed to shimmer with life, all the stars blinking and flickering creating a swirling, unpredictable pattern of light and dark.
"You know," I began, folding my hooves behind my head, "William was supposed to be so dedicated, he'd take a bullet for Daring. Don't you think that's--" I cut myself off, not knowing if I should say the word. "Erm... brave?"
"You were going to say 'romantic,' weren't you?" Soarin guessed, correctly.
I chuckled, trying to dodge the question.
"You were, weren't you?" he teased, giving me a playful poke in the ribs.
I giggled a bit longer, watching the stars a while longer. After a minute or two, I mumbled, "Yeah." I looked over at Soarin. He just grinned, keeping his gaze fixed on the crescent moon. His mane fluttered a bit in the breeze.
"It is pretty romantic," Soarin agreed eventually.
"Yeah..." I sighed.
Soarin cleared his throat, moving into a slightly more comfortable position. "I'd take a bullet for you," he murmured, barely audible over the tropical buzz of the jungle.
"What'd you say?"
"Aw... n-nothin'," He replied, rolling over so his back faced me.
I smiled to myself, watched the stars continue their strange dance. I knew what he'd said, and that was enough.
Well, for now anyway.
D'aww...
Moar! I demand it!
I usually don't care for First Person Narratives, especially with Dash and Soarin. But you did really good! Keep it up!

Thanks!
Glad I was able to change your mind a bit.
3300824 Oh yeah, it's great. Right now, between "What is the Most Important" (not sure if I got that right), "Rebuilding a Rainbow", and this cliffhanger you left me at, I feel like Dash when she gets kicked out of the hospital before she gets to finish the first Daring Do book in the episode "Read It and Weep". But, one cannot rush quality, so I am stuck here. Again. *sigh*

Ha ha, yes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was honestly shocked by the reception this story received. I got the idea from this movie called 'Dave,' and figured it'd be this goofy little side project, but now it's sitting at the top of my list...
All of my AWWWWWWWWs
