//------------------------------// // The Event // Story: Rainbow Dash's Journey // by goldchappy //------------------------------// I woke up the next morning very tired and exhausted from talking when I should have been resting or at least I think that's what happened, I have trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. "Hey Scootaloo, are you here," I said looking around. There seemed to be no traces of her except for maybe the cot which I think was there before last night. "Hey Rainbow Dash, your awake yay!" she said rushing into the door with that book she told me about last night. "I wasn't sure when you would wake up so I decided to start reading my book on how to fly, you know so I would know the basics and every thing. The only problem is step 2, you have to stay off the ground for a whole minute." Then she dropped the book and starting fluttering her wings. She got about a whole foot off the ground and held for about ten seconds, and then fell. "Come on Scootaloo at that rate you will never become a fearless flyer like me," I said. "I know it's just that flying is so hard and you even make sonic rainbooms look easy," she said looking quite amazed. "You just have to keep practi- "EVERYPONY COME TO THE PRACTICE GROUNDS IMMEDIATELY! WE WILL BE STARTING EARLY TODAY FOR THE REASON THAT RAINBOW DASH WILL BE PERFORMING A SONIC RAINBOOM!!!" Spitfire said. I felt a little embarrassed when I herd moans from other ponies. "Hey Rainbow Dash can I come" she said "Sure(sigh), okay, if you want to," and right when I said that, I saw that she was so delighted to come. I went outside looking forward to performing a sonic rainboom for everyone. I, the best flyer here, happened to be the first one there but I still felt guilty that I woke every pony up so early. When I got to the practice grounds I saw that the drills today were going to be very dangerous. I saw spitfire walk out on to the grounds and she went over to us with a lot of wonderbolt costumes but there did happen to be one that stood out, it was oddly colored, all of the other uniforms where like the ones that the real wonderbolts wore "Listen up, these are the uniforms that you will be wearing for the rest of your time here, these are the same wonderbolt uniforms that you have seen us wear. Now there is one uniform that is different from the others that uniform represents the team leader, that certain pegasus will be have a small percentage of choice on our next drills and will have a better chance of becoming wonder bolt overall. Now, all of you must prove your worth so now at the end of the drills I will give you all your uniforms so let's get started," Spitfire said. We all went of into the skies to fly 100 laps except it wasn't as fun with out lightning dust. When I reached lap 78 scootaloo went out and tried to fly. There was one good thing and one bad thing the good thing is she got really high, the bad thing is that she got high enough to actually run into me, wich is what happened. Scootaloo flew right into me. I flew out of control but recovered and scootaloo on the other hand only slowed herself down before she hit the ground.
