After years of training and dreaming, Rainbow Dash finally accomplished her dream ā she became a member of Equestriaās top flying force and first line of defense. And she totally loved it. It brought her a sense of accomplishment, something to be proud of, power and prestigeā¦ The fortune and fame werenāt bad either. And she especially loved the fact that she didnāt have to leave her Special Somepony behind.
Dashās income from the Wonderboltās was more than generous, and had allowed for Dash to buy a nice penthouse for herself and Applejack in Canterlot. Applejack was apprehensive about leaving Sweet Apple Acres at first, even if it was for her lover. But Dash had more than enough bits to hire a few extra hooves to help out on the farm, which easily made up for the lack of production caused by Applejackās absence. Everything seemed to be working out.
But there was one thing Dash didnāt like about being a Wonderbolt.
The paparazzi.
Dash didnāt mind giving a few interviews, or posing for some photos. But all the media attention? The photographers constantly hassling her, asking questions, taking pictures? Yeah, she could totally do without that.
Unfortunately, she didnāt have much say in the matter.
No matter how nicely she asked, no matter how harshly she threatened, the paparazzi just didnāt back off. Whatever pleas and threats the Wonderbolt made just werenāt respected, or were worth far less than the facts and photos of her were. For the first few days, they were relentless.
Then Applejack stepped in.
She was not happy about the paparazziās lack of respect for Dashās privacy ā and hers as well. She tried to reason with them herself, but they all brushed her off as a ābackwoods hickā or āDashās marefriend.ā At first, she tried to be nice, and asked politely. That didnāt work. Then she tried to be reasonable, and warned that she might call the authorities or even try to contact the Princess. They dismissed her claims. Finally, her patience running thin, she flatly declared that any paparazzi who got too close or too nosey or too invasive would regret that decision. They thought she was bluffing.
Nope! She was being Honest.
The first photographer got bruises. The second got a few cracked ribs. The third had to have his camera surgically removed from his mouth.
There wasnāt a fourth incident. The Princesses issued a royal decree, hardening the laws and rules regarding celebrities and their privacy. Not to guard Rainbow Dash and Applejack from the press, but to guard the press from them.
Rainbow Dash loved being a Wonderbolt. And she loved her super-protective marefriend, as well.
