This story is a sequel to Friendship's New Flight
Rainbow Dash continues to grow her friendship with Thunderlane after a good couple of weeks, and her friends have warmed up to him, his brother and the Pegasus Twins slightly, except Applejack, who is still on the fence, Plus Rumble also has his trials and errors with The Cutie Mark Crusaders, including romance & jealousy.
But when Celestia invites the Elements to Canterlot for a Talent Show, this is Thunderlane's chance to really get in good with his new friends, but jealousy & resurfacing of old rivals make that harder.
Wrestling and ponies...oh dear...
There's plenty of fish in sea Spike.
Whose plot?
At least Twilight didn't run into Flash Sentry and her family.
Knew Applejack would pipe bombed this fun.
I bet the sequel will involve Thunderlane and Rainbow Dash getting cozy together and some mares might announced some 'coming out' moments.

Both will happen pretty soon
6216649 Rainbow Dash's plot.
Who dat? Dat Flittershy.
To be reasonable the Apples are about family so the Apple Jack volcano is justifiable
And she never said anything about it to him ever.
By the laws of tales, the fact that Rainbow Dash reassured Thunderlane that everything will be okay, everything will in fact go wrong.
Can you make an alternate ending where Applejack really doesn't deserve a second chance? I think the alternate ending should have Applejack losing her friends, getting disowned by her family and stripped of her Element of Honesty by Celestia as well as being hated and ostracized by everypony.
Do you think it's a good idea to make that alternate ending or am I letting my anger at Applejack get to me just because I hated what she did in this story?

I don't have it in me to do something like that. She's still one of my favs.
7804102 Oh, Applejack's your favorite pony and I didn't even notice it? Well, I must've let my emotions get to me and I am indeed sorry for that.

Bo big deal really
Sweetie Belle has hands?
This is a very weird situation I'm in.
Because I really enjoyed the first story, and am interested in most of the other fics in the series based on the premise for them...
But I'm too much of a SoarinDash (and Rumbleloo) shipper that I can't really bring myself to read fics where she gets together with anypony else.

Understandable, I’ve been the same way myself (still am to an extent), though a later story in this series may give you what you like.

Are you referring to Crystal Empire, or an as of yet unpublished fic in the series?

Crystal Empire

I see.
Well, I'll probably give it a read eventually, once I've cleared out my read later list a bit more.

I'm a ThunderDash fan and i feel the same feeling when Dash goes with other pony than the most perfect stallion of Equestria
Love reading this for third time (maybe more)
