Rainbow finds a trophy for a pony declared, "an honorary Wonderbolt". Curiosity getting the better of her, she asks about the pony.
She was greatly surprised to hear that, of all ponies, Derpy had gotten the honor, and respect, of the organization Rainbow idolized.
Written for The Wonderbolts Site Contest. I spent more time writing for the Sci-fi contest, with the goal of writing a one-shot for this one afterwards. In honor of it being a Speedwriting contest, I wrote it down over the course of two days and in under three hours total writing time. I hope you enjoy, and good luck to other contestants!

Derpy redeems even bad writing
This was a very nice story and I'm happy about Derpy's acceptance of her situation.
It's been ten thousand years since the last derpy oneshot I've seen make front page
Was it a mistake? Because that's the only time she's not addressed as "Derpy".

"Muffins" is another name for her, Rainbow used it here as a nickname.

Buddha taught that suffering is banished by acceptance: " Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional."

This was a good thing to wake up to this morning
honestly, this is as close to canon as I think it could get. After all, in flashbacks, it was shown that Derpy won races till her eyes crossed and she slowly dropped places, so I'm adding this to my headcanon. Awesome story author Bravo you get a moustache

OK, I was wondering, since it came up only once in the story.
11888808
It will make a fine addition to my collection.
In seriousness, though, thank you. I did build almost completely off of those same flashbacks, so this fits pretty well into canon or even other fanfiction.

Heh
Damn, 101 likes and not one dislike, that's impressive. This is a good story.

I'm just frightened for when the trolls hit...but I'm quite surprised and impressed that this one got so much attention. Glad you enjoyed!
That twist! Man, this was a story that I didn’t know I needed and it felt so good to read. Bravo!
Derpy is a wonderful muffin.
I feel this needs a humorous sequel where she races dash with twilight presiding over it. But she doesn’t go in a straight line, and still is faster xD

I could imagine someone making special goggles to make her eyes look forward or spell that lasts short time.
