*Rated TEEN for a bit of graphic language

Rainbow Dash is accepted into the Wonderbolts, but a surprise eventuality arises that puts her life-long dream on hold - on the first day of training.

I originally wrote this for Bronystate's fanfic competition, but missed the deadline. So I finished it and posted it here for your reading pleasure!

*If you think this story needs a higher rating, kindly let me know and I'll change it, because it does reference some sensitive topics.

Read THIS first or you won't understand much: http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/3037-independent-republic-of-cosarara/

Written from Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia's standpoint. This is my first MLP fanfic, so I'll allow for constructive criticism.

~~~ Second chapter contains small instance of violence and coarse language, I rated "Teen" just to err on the safe side ~~~
