This story is a sequel to Flying Sky-High

So much has happened in the past year. Friends have been made, battles have been fought, and love has bloomed. Now at long last, Rainbow Dash has the chance of a lifetime: a chance to become a Wonderbolt and instantly be part of an elite squad. However, one of the key judges for the tryout is none other than her love: Soarin. He is bound by his profession to be fair and honest in his selection. Will their relationship give Dash an edge in the tryouts? Or will it strike her down before she even gets there?

Also what of the dark magic within Soarin? He's kept quiet about it for a while, but not all is as well as he lets on.

And what of the Shadowbolts? They scattered after the battle with Nightshade. Surely they didn't just disappear.

A story of remaining strong in the face of harsh challenges. Life and love can be tough, but strong hearts always find a way to prevail.

This Fic's length is a bit intimidating, but it is broken into four parts, each of which could be considered their own stories with clear beginnings and conclusions. I decided to keep it all together because it was how my outline was structured (aka i completely underestimated the length).

This is not a Gurren Lagann Crossover. The title was a coincidence. (But said coincidence has led to many references and characters that parody the anime)

One night near Las Pegasus Cheese Sandwich gets a slightly odd Cheesy Sense and sets off to Ponyville to find out what the doozy is about. There he reunites with Pinkie Pie, who is just as energetic as ever. Though there seem to be certain feelings between them, that keep intervening with their friendship.

What was the Cheesy Sense really about after all?

Rainbow Dash is Animado High's best sportswoman and Performing Artist. She can do anything from singing and dancing to track/field and football. The talented tomboy seems like she has a perfect life - excellent grades, athleticism, beauty, life-long friends, a loving family, close to zero problems. But, she does have one problem - she has to decide which one to do after she graduates.

Then, not too far into Summer Break, a best friend introduces the Wonderbolt Academy, and there, she can do both her dreams of being a sportswoman and Performing Artist. The best part? They have three, not one, but three openings in their Sport and Perform team, the most fun, but difficult, division in the academy. Rainbow packs her bags, applies to the academy, and even befriends some people there. But as the year goes on, Rainbow Dash will not only find her true place, but also someone to love. (Modern!Anthro AU)

EDIT (1/21/18): I hate to disappoint you guys, but I am officially canceling this story. This version, at least. I will be doing some serious heavy edits and actually think this through and outline it before I reboot it in the future, and the same goes for "Two Worlds, One Love". I've done a lot of growing these past few years, both as a person and as an author, and I will admit, looking back on this isn't exactly something I'm proud of. I'll keep this up for your viewing pleasure, though, and I promise you, when I'm not so bogged down by other projects and life, I will bring this story back to life - only better.

(Originally conceived as a oneshot, this story has become a series of them because of the massive popularity of the first installment and how it was featured on the front page.)

Pairing: Soarin/Rainbow Dash

Chapter 1: Meet the Parents Rainbow Dash has a brilliant idea: since she hasn't seen her parents in awhile, why not bring her new boyfriend with her to visit them? Unfortunately for Soarin, this means meeting her father and mother (Firefly). Will the Wonderbolt survive the visit? Will I ever learn how to do comedy? There is a single yes and a no between these two important questions.

Chapter 2: Meet the Scootaloo Soarin unexpectedly finds himself introduced to Rainbow Dash's number one fan, Scootaloo, and once again finds himself learning a bit about Dash's world. Warning: Might make you squee.

Rainbow Dash adores the Wonderbolts, and when they have a show in Ponyville, how can she not buy tickets?
However, something goes wrong, causing Rainbow and a Wonderbolt to be trapped in a terrible situation.

The next story in the series is Free to Fly!

Yes, I used coverart from an episode, simply because it fits the story! :3

So... I've been a Soarindash writing mood.
Anyway..

What do you think of when you hear "Rainbow Dash?" Athletic? Cool? Braggy? Loyal? Two-Dimensional? In this story, she is all of that, but more.

As Rainbow and her soccer team get ready for the big game, she startes to feel weird around a certain boy she's been friends with for years. But it can't possibly mean..
Could it?

Rainbow Dash has always felt empty, as if she was incomplete. It might've been not being a Wonderbolt, but... it was far deeper than that. Like there was an absence of something within her. But when a certain Wonderbolt rescues her in a blizzard and spends some time with her... how will she feel? And how will she react? Maybe being a Wonderbolt... was not the most important thing in her life. Warning on straight Dash shipping, constructive criticism is encouraged, flames shall be extinguished.

Rainbow Dash had always dreamed of the moment when she would be able to enter the elite academy for Wonderbolts. But when she finally gets there, things don't work out as she expected.

Even more difficult to deal with is her developing feelings for one of the Wonderbolts...

SoarinDash romance!

Rainbow dash unexpectedly gets stuck with Soarin in her home and must take care of him while he is recovering from a broken wing. Slowly but surely, she begins to develop a romantic interest in him...

Soarin and Rainbow Dash have met several times before, but that's where the relationship ends. When the two ponies try to change that, each in very different ways, things don't exactly go as planned.

Story takes place right after season 4
