	A stallion walked through the halls, sometimes a pony would rush by, but mostly he was left to his thoughts. Thoughts like "How will this end?" and "Was ordering Soarin' to clean all the latrines really enough for exposing our secrets?" The tan pegasus walked in silence, his brown tail dragging against the ground ever so slightly as he went.
Every pony who saw Rapidfire knew that he was built for flying rather than walking, and the cheif Wonderbolt resented the fact that the ceilings in the headquarters were so low. After joining the elite team of fliers decades before, he swore his life to Celestia and to protecting the knowledge of the true mission of the Wonderbolts. And yet, now a rookie has revealed the existence to an overexcited fan and now HE was sent to interrogate her.
Reaching the door to the interrogation room, he sighed and pushed open the door.

Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes, expecting to be back in her own bed. Instead, you can imagine her surprise to be in a small room, seated in a chair while an old stallion glared at her. "Where am I and what do you want from me? I have the right to remain silent! Get me a lawyer!" She yelled as she attempted to get out of the chair, only to take a hoof to the gut and plop back into the chair.
"Shut up. I'll ask the questions here." He said as he walked closer to her. "I'll start out simple: did you, or did you not read the W.O.N.D.E.R.B.O.L.T.S secret information?"
"Er...yes." Dash said as she looked around the room. It was empty, except for a scary looking skull mounted on the wall. She decided it was wise to stay on this stallion's good side.
"All right." He said, starting to pace. "And did you read it all?"
"Y-yes."
"How much do you remember?"
"I don't know."
He stopped pacing and glared at her once more. "Do you realize how big this is? The secret of the W.O.N.D.E.R.B.O.L.T.S has been kept secret since it was founded. This organization is older than the ages of every living pegasus in Equestria combined! Anyway, obviously ponies have stumbled across us in the past. Do you know what we do with them?"
"No...sir."
"We wipe their memories completely. It's a shame that we have to ruin their lives that way, but it's for the greater good of Equestria."
"Wait..." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "You're going to erase my memories!? This has to be a joke!"
"Sorry, miss. It's standard protocol. Don't worry. We'll set you up in Trottingham with a nice backstory." He said, and Rainbow Dash though she saw a flicker of grief flash in his eyes. But if there was, it was gone too soon to know.
Her thoughts shifted to frantically find anything that would save her from this fate. "Can't you make exceptions? I mean, I'm a fast flier! I could join you guys!"
He dismissed the idea with a wave of a hoof. "If I had a bit for every time I heard that."
"Ok, well...I promise I won't tell anypony! I'll keep it a secret for my whole life!"
"Even Celestia wouldn't be able to keep a secret that big safe if a mind spell catches her unawares."
"Well I'll-wait...Celestia? She founded this organization, didn't she?"
He looked at her with faint curiosity. "Yes, why?"
She grinned. She was getting somewhere. "Well, I don't think Celestia would be very happy if you cleared the memory of an Element of Harmony and sent her away from her friends, would she?"
Rapidfire gasped. His thoughts trailed back to a summer day, where he had been on a visit to Canterlot. It was a standard visit, yet as he walked through the halls, he saw something that had caught his eye. A stained glass window, showing seven ponies, one of which he recognised as Nightmare Moon.
Later, he had discovered that the other six were the 'Elements of Harmony,' and they resided in Ponyville. How could he have been so stupid? He should've recognised this pony above all others. It's not often you see a rainbow mane. "Element of Harmony!? Are you bucking kidding me?" He walked over to the wall and pressed the button on a small intercom. "Did ANYPONY know that the mare was a bucking ELEMENT OF HARMONY!?" Rainbow Dash smiled as she relaxed in her chair. His skin was turning red underneath his coat. Several minutes of yelling later, he slowly turned to her. "Well miss Dash, it looks like we only have one option. Welcome to the Wonderbolts."
The cheer could be heard from miles away.
