Chapter 1 Normal is Normal
The weather was cloudy the day Soarin' received the soggy, wet parchment that arrived on his doorstep early one morning. He left the envelope out to dry until it was able to handle without getting torn. (Having hooves isn't really a strong perk to have when it comes to being delicate) On most cases, the Pegasi of Cloudsdale could have easily manipulated the weather how they pleased but if it wasn't severe, they left it be. "I mean, why bother" Soarin' asked himself "we get so busy clearing the skies all throughout the rest of Equestria that we barely have time for ourselves!" But he couldn't complain. After all he was part of the Wonder Bolts, the most elite group of Pegasi in all of Equestria. To be one of them outlines what a brave and true pony really means. His practices are rough, his wings always getting sore after conditioning with the rest of the team. Spitfire, captain of the Wonder Bolts trains us extremely hard both physically and mentally. Nothing is more important. But when Soarin' had his downtime he made sure he took advantage of it. So for now, all that mattered was the note he had received just minutes ago. As he attempted to tear back the poorly wrapped envelope that held the note, he could only wonder what was inside. It wasn't the highest quality note he had seen so it must have been from a younger pony with less experience on writing. The mouth-writing had multiple grammar errors but Soarin' did his best to make it out. It read:
Hi Soarin',
uhmm I don't know what to say, but I think you are awesome. Keep up the good wrork. I hopee too meet you sometime, you're one of my favorite Wonder Bolts (Next to Spitfire, of course!) So if you could just come to Ponyville to meet me I woulde be veryy hapy! You're SO AWESOME!!
P.S. Can you ask Spitfire to let me join the Wonderbolts?
Soarin' smiled as he finished reading the letter. We wanted to know who would send HIM a message! He never got any mail, and when he did it was either bills or junk mail. (Yes, pony junk mail) It wasn't signed. Whoever it was neglected to even print their name! But after some thinking it hit him. He had a fine idea on who had send it. He remembered of a talented Pegasus in the peaceful town of Ponyville who admired the Wonder Bolts very much. He could not remember her name but what made her distinct from every other pony was her vibrant, rainbow colored mane. Now that Soarin' had thought about it more, he might have met the pony before. Could it have been the same Pegasi who once saved us from that deathly fall the day of the Junior Flyer Competition? thought Soarin'. If it was, what an honor it would be to see her again. Who knows, he might just hit it off with this rainbow character. But what would happen if he didn't go and enjoyed the spoils of his break instead? His mind was racing with so many different options. "The Wonderbolts are having a week long break from shows, and I have nothing better to do." Said Soarin' to himself. He still wasn't quite sure on what he was going to do, so he flew off to talk with his good friend Spitfire on what to do.
"Hey there, Spitfire" said Soarin'. Spitfire was in the Cloudsdale Study Hall reading up on what Soarin' could make out as a large book that printed, "Wind Powers - The Art of the Sky". She turned around very abruptly, obviously not interested in what she was reading. "Hi, Soarin'!". She hugged him.
"I want to speak with you about something." Soarin' replied.
"Is something wrong" said Spitfire.
"No, actually, things are going very well for me, but I'm here to talk about a letter I had received in the mail today"
"What did it say? Was it from Royalty? I always adored being a Royal subject!"
"No, but quite the opposite" "You see, a Pegasi in Ponyville wanted me to come and visit her and get to know her. I should remind you this was the same Pegasi I believe saved us from the dreadful fall we encountered at the Junior Flyer Competition a while back" Soarin' said.
"Ah, yes I wish I could remember her name but it's slipping my mind"
Soarin' told the rest of the story and his plan to meet this fan of his personally in the town of Ponyville. Spitfire didn't mind him going, after all, she may be his captain but she certainly wasn't his mother.
"It's funny that you bring this up on such short notice for I also received a message from somepony who wished my presence." said Spitfire.
She then took off with a vigorous amount of speed away from Soarin' and off into the sky. She didn't have time to say where she was going, when she'd be back, or who she was meeting. The book she was reading still lay on the table she was at just moments ago. Soarin' glanced at the book and chuckled. "If I know one thing, it's that Spitfire doesn't like to read" He left the library and went back to his home.
He didn't need to bring much with him. Ponyville was but a small journey for an Earth Pony and being a Wonder Bolt would take him not nearly that much time. Soarin' went to his room to get cleaned up and ready to go to Ponyville. He puts on his favorite tie and shirt, looks at the mirror and struck a pose. He laughed to himself at how silly he looked. After all, he had reason for his good mood. A chance to meet a new friend. And not just any other pony, but a Pegasi like him. Sure there were the Wonder Bolts that he spent most of his time around, but they expected perfection. They were a team, and he found himself going through the motions as days passed. He liked Spitfire. She was a great friend to have. Nopony he knew had a character like Spitfire. She was the only one he truly accepted as a friend. The others, Blaze, Fire streak, Fleetfoot and the others he saw more as acquaintances.
After contemplating these thoughts for a few minutes, Soarin' shook them out. "I'm going to enjoy myself on this journey, and not dwell on the other nimble things in my life". And that's just what he did. "I'm ready for anything", a confident smile on his face as he took off through the clouds and down closer to the surface.
Soarin' couldn't believe his eyes. It wasn't often he flew down to the surface, or in that case, could go down if he wanted to. Being a Wonder Bolt took a fair amount of time off your hands and up until now, the surface never interested him much. Sure when he attended the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot the festivities were spectacular, but as he gazed over the landscape, Soarin' thought to himself how beautiful nature could be. As he flew along the tops of the trees, Soarin' wanted to fly faster. He prepared himself, took a deep breath, and flapped as fast as his wings could carry him over the landscape.
you misspelled Ponyville

You need to find a new Jake. This one ain't cutting it.

This is what Fimfiction has come to, stories being written by five year olds.
Jesus christ, get a new editor, and a book on how to write sentences and paragraphs.

I've noticed there is more "newly uploaded" stories that feature OC's more than the actual cast from the show.
I feel this fan-dom is going to tumble down into the Sonic fan-dom soon with the bad stories and stuff like that.
Chop up your text more man... seriously. This is hard enough to read as it is.
"When he was a Philly."
So Soarin now played in MLB for Philadelphia? What now?
You need a new editor. Like, immediately.
who have sent Soarin' a message
Don't you mean :
who has sent Soarin a message
The fact that you can't even spell Ponyville in the description is already a bad omen...
So why am I punishing myself and reading this crap?
617880
Or maybe everyone doesn't speak English so good, OR maybe I don't live in country whit primary language of English...

So what do you think there is wrong? and where? =) i would like to get better so if you would be kind enough to tell me

I don't find how it is hard to read...? What part you think it's hard to read?

Fixed =)

The thing is, a lot of readers don't like reading very long paragraphs when it comes to fanfiction. Try looking at some of the other works on here and you'll see what I mean. Not how the text is broken up. It's easier for the reader to digest.

Well, it was just little mistake and now it's fixed... And does that really matter if there is one letter missing....
618040
Fixed =)
619438
Yes, its true that ppl don't wanna read long stories... maybe I'll cut it on peaces. And thanks =)
Sturgeon's law punished this poor, idealistic soul... Correct your grammar and spelling, and then we'll talk.

Well... My editor lives in USA and hes pretty good but everyone makes mistakes, we are all just humans.
Geez you guys are pretty harsh on me. Let's lay it down like this:
Number 1: i'm 15 years old guys so give me a break
Number 2: this is the first piece of literature I've written in my life
Number 3: this was written in 1 hour 35 minutes
I'm sorry everything isn't good enough for you but just make sure you check this before posting comments. Everyone starts somewhere, geez I'm sorry
Also let's add that everything was what I wrote off of scratch. 1cy was just the story board and creator. I truly, honestly made little to no editing whatsoever and I appologize. I need to improve but hate messages from 20+ years olds doesnt build my self esteem
