Pony Diaries 5
January 13
A show. She planned a show. An air show. I'll start off from the beginning.
Bon Bon and I showed up at the field to find thousands of ponies waiting for us. We gaped at all of them and especially at Rainbow Dash as she came trotting up to us.
"Surprise!" she shouted. "You guys get to practice your very first Sonic Rainboom in front of tons of ponies!" She grinned proudly. "And you two know the guest of honor." Rainbow Dash flicked her tail and First Light came up.
He greeted us warmly and glanced pointedly at Rainbow. She took the apparent hint and led Bon Bon away, probably to prep her on the pointers of a Sonic Rainboom. First Light stepped closer to me and bent his head until his lips were close to my lips. "Good luck out there. I'll be rooting for you." He smiled at me and then trotted away.
I blushed furiously and attempted to walk forwards, but I lost my balance and fell to my knees. I felt the silly grin on my face and quickly wiped it off as the blue pegasus with the rainbow mane came to get me.
"Go cheer for Bon Bon and then you're up", she told me, glancing towards the sky. "She'll be flying any second now." The two of us took a special spot in the bleachers and turned our eyes towards the clouds.
Bon Bon flew up until my straining eyes could barely make out her colorful wings. Then she took a deep breath and pointed towards the crowd. Her wings worked furiously and she worked up incredible speed. It wasn't enough. A cone of air formed around her, but she couldn't break it. My friend was catapulted away up into the sky. I could hear her scream.
I took off after her. My wings pumped up and down until my lungs felt like they would burst. I flew higher until I saw her plummeting towards the ground. My direction changed immediately and my hooves pointed straight in front of me. My eyes were fixed on my friend and I made a rash decision. Folding my wings close to my body I let myself drop like a stone. I could see First Light spring up and start yelling at me, probably telling me to open my wings. I didn't listen. Eventually I caught up to Bon Bon. My wings flew out and I gasped at the burning pain it caused me. Still, I managed to catch the plummeting pony before she hit the ground. "Flap your wings", I gasped.
Bon Bon did so and she flew up out of my arms. The two of us landed safely. Rainbow Dash raced up to Bon Bon and First Light raced up to me.
"You could have died!" he told me sternly. "Don't ever do anything like that again", he gasped. "That-that was painful to watch."
I apologized. "I need to head home", I told RD. "I'm absolutely exhausted."
First Light escorted me to my temporary home, which happened to be a tree home, similar to Twilight's. Before he left he turned to me. "I would have liked to see if you could do a Sonic Rainboom."
I shook my head. "I was flying as fast as I possibly could earlier" I told him. "There's no way I'll ever be able to do a Rainboom. I don't know how Rainbow Dash does it." I bade him goodbye and came up here to write. Now I'm out of story.
I'll write more later.
