Prologue

Lightning Dash had her cutie mark. She was a very special filly.

“Hey Rainbow,” she said. “I know you’ll win the race!” Lightning Dash had three good friends- Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and a pegasus named Cloud Blossom. If you want to know about Cloud Blossom, I’ll say she’s a cream-colored pony with a light pink mane and tail, a red stripe and is one of the only non-guard ponies in Equestria that can fight. Her cutie mark was a sword. By the way, Lightning Dash is a black pony with a yellow and white mane and tail.
“This is so uncool! I’m like, the only pegasus at this camp without a cutie mark!”
Fluttershy gave Rainbow Dash a caring look. “I don’t have my cutie mark,” said Fluttershy “Plenty of fillies don’t have them.” Cloud Blossom chimed in. “You only hang around here anyway, so it’s no wonder that you haven’t seen any others.” 
“Still...” said Rainbow. “By the way, where did Lightning go?”
The race...

“On your starting lines...” said Fluttershy. “Three...” She coughed. “Three, two, one... Go!” The pegasi had started so fast, Fluttershy fell of her cloud! Still, Lightning Dash was nowhere to be seen. And then, SONIC RAINBOOM TIME! 	Rainbow Dash had it! She won the race! Her shadow congratulated her. “L-lightning? Did you shadow me?”
“Yes I did,” responded the smiling shadow. “Yes I did.”

She got her cutie mark by shadowing lightning. It was a dark design that rested on her flank. But she could do more. Much, much more.
