The crowd watched as Tucker fell at an intense speed, believing it to be part of some sort of routine. Rainbow Dash watched Tucker for a few seconds thinking the same thing before realizing this was real. She then surged downward with her forelegs extended and wings collapsed to minimize wind resistance. The crowd realized by the expression of fear on her face that this was not planned. The pressure of the wind rippled along Rainbow Dash's face, fiercely contorting it, as she continued going down. Tucker was getting too close to the ground. Rainbow Dash shook the negative thoughts from her head and grunted as she continued her power-dive, hooves first. The pressure on her hooves was growing stronger as she dove. Suddenly the scene in front of Rainbow Dash became extremely bright and a visible cone of wind surged past her.
"What is she doing?" Simmons asked.
"Shh." Rarity said, focusing on Rainbow Dash.
Tucker was twenty seconds from hitting the ground. Rainbow Dash surged forwards and a large explosion of color shot out from behind her.
"What the-" Flint started.
Seventeen seconds until impact, Rainbow Dash continued to surge forward and the pain of the pressure was starting to hit her.
"What was that?" Simmons asked.
Twelve seconds until impact, Tucker was gaining speed as he fell and Rainbow Dash was slowly gaining.
"Come on Rainbow Dash." Rarity whispered.
Eight seconds until impact, Rainbow Dash was getting close but it was going to be a close call.
"I can't look." Simmons said, closing his eyes.
Four seconds until impact, Tucker opened his eyes and looked at Rainbow Dash and winked.
"Wha-" Rainbow Dash started.
Tucker opened his wings and surged upwards, flying past Rainbow Dash. Tucker put one hoof on the trail of rainbows behind her and started to spin around it. The crowd watched attentively as Tucker was somehow manipulating the rainbow, making it start to spin. He continued going upwards towards the base of the rainboom, the electricity exerted off of his body constantly changing colors.
"What is he doing?" Simmons said as everypony else in the stadium gawked.
Tucker looked down at Rainbow Dash who had a look of disbelief on her face. Tucker looked back up and continued spinning, with the rainbow, which was starting to spin more violently. He was getting close to the edge of the trail and the rainbow then started to spin with great speeds, making a multicolored tornado. The crowd started cheering as he reached the end of the trail, multicolored electricity still shown shooting out of him. He looked up at the clouds and shot towards them, a trail of rainbow electricity following him. When he reached the clouds he channeled as much of the energy as he could and shot into the clouds. The clouds then flashed green and Tucker did not shoot out the other side.
"Where did he go?" Rainbow Dash asked quietly to herself.
Rainbow Dash flew upwards towards the clouds and started to fly inside them but Tucker was nowhere to be found.
"Is he inside the cloud?" Flint asked.
"Impossible. He had way too much momentum to just stop." Simmons said.
"Then what wa-"
A green flash appeared in the VIP area and a black pegasus came screeching to a halt right in front of Flint.
"Who are you?" Flint asked.
Simmons shook his head with a loose smile. "You got something on you."
The black pegasus looked down and groaned.
"Really? The black shit came with me too?" He muttered.
"Is that who I think it is?" Rarity asked.
Simmons nodded as the black pegasus shook off the worst of the black stuff. "Nice going Tucker."
"Thanks." Tucker said, patting off the rest of the black stuff.
Tucker then flew out of the VIP area and behind Rainbow Dash who was still looking for him. Tucker tapped her on the shoulder and coughed. Rainbow Dash turned around and looked at Tucker who was smiling at her.
"I told you I had a plan." Tucker snickered.
Rainbow Dash then gave Tucker a swift kick to the balls.
"Fuck!" Tucker grunted, remembering to flap his wings as to not fall. "That wasn't what I was expecting."
"Be glad that it isn't worse than that." Rainbow Dash snickered.
"What was the kick for?" Tucker asked still cringing from the pain.
"That was for not letting me in on your little plan. And don't you ever make me worried like that again." Rainbow Dash said.
"So... you were worried for me, huh?" Tucker said with a smile.
Rainbow Dash blushed slightly, but quickly shook it off. "Yeah, well... who knows what Celestia would do if you died when I was supposed to be watching you." Rainbow Dash said before flying back down to the stadium.
"I'm sure that's the reason you were worried." Tucker said with a laugh before following her.
"That was amazing." Rarity said as the pair landed next to them.
"I know it was." Tucker said.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, mind coming over here for a sec?" Spitfire said as she landed in the VIP area with Soarin and two other Wonderbolts.
"Yeah." Rainbow Dash said before turning to Tucker. "Stay. Right. Here."
"What? Can't I come over and say hello?" Tucker asked innocently.
Rainbow Dash shook her head and trotted up to Spitfire and nodded.
"First off, I just want to congratulate you and your... friend. I didn't think bending a rainbow was possible so good job on that." Spitfire said, extending her hoof.
"Thanks Spitfire." Rainbow Dash said excitedly as she shook her idols hoof.
"I also want to give you two things. First one being an apology." Spitfire said in a sincere voice. "I really should have thanked you more than I had for saving our lives."
"Don't worry about it." Rainbow Dash said.
"The second thing I want to give you is an invitation." Spitfire said.
"An invitation?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Spitfire looked back at one of the Wonderbolts and nodded. The Wonderbolt then took out an envelope and handed it to Rainbow Dash. She hastily opened it and sifted through the letter.
"You want me to join the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash said, giddy with excitement.
"We know it's been your dream so we felt this was an apt way to apologize to you." Spitfire said.
Rainbow Dash's smile grew large and she looked at Tucker who was laughing with Simmons.
"As much as I'll hate myself for this... I think I'll pass." Rainbow Dash said quietly.
"You'll pass?" Spitfire asked curiously.
"I think I'll stick with Tucker for awhile. The Princess ordered me to watch him. I don't want to get banished for disobeying orders." Rainbow Dash said.
Spitfire looked at Tucker and her features softened. "I understand." Spitfire said with a nod.
Rainbow Dash held up the invitation to her but Spitfire just stared at it. "Keep it. You can look us up later if you change your mind." Spitfire said, turning to leave. She then paused and giggled. "But next time keep him on a tighter leash."
And with that, the Wonderbolts left the stadium.
Was about to read another fic and you instantly publish this. Go figure
420235
It's because I'm sitting behind you watching your every move.
420242 I've been there before
Then writer's block kicked my ass
420245
I figured out how to beat writers block a few nights ago. Just keep writing, no matter how stupid shit starts turning out and eventually something will pop in to your mind.
Like at the cupcakes chapter I started writing it as a joke, not intending to use it since I had writers block, but then I decided to keep it since I could work with it.
Two chapters...OMG. Teleportation...you would have thought when rainbow hit tucker it would have knocked the black right off him...
Yea that chapter was truely evil with the cupcakes.....*insert evil omega or O'mally voice*. Though this was still a great chapter.
Heh, the Element of Loyalty strikes again!
I like how accurate this is, you even included the black stuff.
420249 Yea, i figured that a while ago..... but i get distracted so fucking easily, its unreal
Why did half of me scream SWORD when the electricity came up.
420327 That's racist.
420327 "it would have knocked the black right off him" just like Tex
OMG Dude... I am speechless on how awesome that chapter was.
Ok so I was a bit wrong. No Tuckerboom, but still an epic story.
421520
421330
I'm glad you two got the reference..
XD Somehow, I just *ing knew it.
Phew......I have finally read the lastest chapter....
*sees it's 97 chapters*
WHAT?!?!?!
OOOWWWIIIIEEEE YOU LIED TO ME, THAT HURT ALOT!!
Spitfire: I didn't know it was possible to bend a rainbow
Tucker: Bow chicka bow wow
673615
First chapter I actually read the comments on and I find this. You sir have made my day.
I loved this one!
Well fuck, if Tucker still doesn't have his mark by now I'll be damned.
Hopefully not literally!
3 am, i need to stop this.
420859 Took me 2 weeks to write 500 words, you have no idea how easily some can get distracted.
You sir, have just earned your 8th fluttershy back.
Epic chapter, and I love RD for staying with Tucker and giving up her dream. And i swear to god tucker, I will hunt you down if you break her heart!
YOUR TOAST IS BURNT
420242 I turned around and saw rainbows everywhere.
Is that good?
Spitfire: "Next time, keep him on a tighter leash."
Tucker: "Bow chicka bow wow"
1069607 100%
The black stuff came with him...
OMG LOL!
Who else had the rvb season 9 theme goning through their heads throught tukers proformance? or is that just me?
dude you are so raceist because of this line
2002624i realize your probably trolling but i still need to explain becuse of a urge to explain that i cant fight one tuckers a black man so him saying that is not racist two its a teleportation residue that only happens to him mostly
807227 and hear i thought it was 7:50 am
If it was anyone but Rainbow Dash (the element of loyalty), I would have called turning down their dreams like this really OOC. As for the teleporting thing, I am again left confused. Don't get me wrong; what happened was really cool, very nice imagery, but I overall have no idea what happened.
Umm, DarkWing? Did this come out before season 3 of MLP? Cause I seem to recall an academy that a pegasus had to train in before actually joining the Wonderbolts.
2351573 the teleporting thing was just an excuse for him to throw in a running gag in RvB that is whenever tucker teleports in anyway, his armor gets covered in black stuff while everyone else comes through without any black stuff on there armor, and for a badass example refer to Red vs Blue season 8 episode 10

You can check to see when the first comment was made on the chapter to get a rough idea on when it was published.
2002624 I believe its a reference to the episode when they went through the teleporter. When they arrived, they were covered with black stuff. He teleported.
I've been keeping tally of how many times Tex has hit Grif in the balls (including the army of Tex robots) and my current estimate is 28 times
4745967 You should also keep track of how often Dash does the same to Tucker.
There once was a blue called tucker...
His motto was : shut up and fuck her
12 am.....need sleep.....can't put......dow.....down.....*thud*...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:35 Am...
We're just getting started, I might get some Doritos in a little bit.
3:04 Am...
Just finished my Doritos, but I am running out of water bottles and I might have to make a trip to the kitchen to get more.
6:19 Am...
My dad woke up about 20 minutes ago and caught me awake...
But I prevailed and told him I was working on a personal project.
8:27 Am...
Still awake, but I'll probably be asleep by 10.
9:54 Am...
I am very tired... I might as well give up. See ya tomorrow!
7:33 Pm, the next day
I just woke up, and my was that refreshing!
I had that whole image in mind And it looked awesome. I definitely have to say that Tucker and Dash won that.
