When Rainbow Dash back to her house, she flew straight up to her room, slamming the door after her.
"Why on earth did I think that I liked him?" Rainbow Dash asked herself as she threw her letter onto the bed.
She sat on her bed and looked out the window at the rising moon, her mind racing at what had transpired. After a few minutes she let out a sad sigh and laid down in an attempt to ease her tired mind. She suddenly sat straight up and looked at the foot of her bed. She hadn’t realized how much she’d already gotten used to having Tucker there with her, and it left her restless. She quickly crawled to the other side of the bed and snatched up the envelope and opened it and quickly read through it, trying to take her mind off the events of that afternoon once again. She tossed the envelope and letter on her bedside table in disgust, and looked out the window, images of the Wonderbolts performing spectacular stunts flying across her vision. Rainbow Dash couldn’t take it anymore. She flew out, locking the door behind her, before flying off to Cloudsdale.
A couple minutes later Tucker arrived at her place. He peered in through one of the first-floor windows. "Dash you up there?" Tucker flew up to the door and sighed as he tried to open it. "Come down and open the damn door."
Tucker stared up at the second story window for a few seconds, then started banging on the door. "I know you're in there. Can I just talk to you for a minute?" Tucker pleaded.
Tucker received no answer so he scowled and glared back up at the window. "I'm coming in whether you want me to or not." Tucker said.
"One." Still no answer. Tucker sighed once again and shook his forelegs
"Two..." Tucker said, bringing his hoof back. Rainbow Dash still gave no answer and Tucker shook his head as he reared up on his hind legs.
"Three. Alright, I warned you." Tucker threw his front hooves into the door, knocking it straight off of its hinges. He immediately flew into the main room, scanning it quickly. Tucker then faced towards the stairs and sighed.
"Come on, I'm not good at this apologizing stuff and you're not making it any easier!" Tucker called out.
Rainbow Dash remained silent, so Tucker ran straight up to the bedroom and gave the door a quick knock. After a few seconds he pulled the door open and saw that the room was empty. "Are you in here?" Tucker asked. He grunted and sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his face with a light groan. He looked on the bedside table and saw a ripped envelope with a piece of paper under it. He snapped it up and read it quickly under his breath.
“Congratulations on your invitation to the Wonderbolts. You have been given this letter for demonstrating a great aptitude and passion for flying. If you would like to join us for a practice session, we are at our training facility daily from dawn until midday. You can use this letter as a guaranteed pass to enter the training center, as we do not guarantee recognition of every new face. We hope to see you soon.
Happy Flying,
Spitfire
Captain of the Wonderbolts”
He threw the piece of paper back on to the bedside table and kicked it over.
"Son of a bitch." Tucker muttered.
Tucker laid down on the bed. He stared at the ceiling for an hour, thinking of what he should do. An idea popped into his head and he got off the bed, snagging the letter off the ground and quickly read through it again. Tucker’s lips spread into a smile as he got to the end.
"...You can use this letter as a guaranteed pass to enter the training center, as we do not guarantee recognition of every new face." Tucker read happily. "I guess I'm joining the Wonderbolts."
Tucker then looked out the window and saw the moon high in the sky. He stretched his wings and plopped down on the bed.
"Guess I should grab some sleep while I wait for morning." Tucker yawned before falling asleep.
When Tucker woke up he grabbed the letter, rushed down the stairs and made his way straight to Cloudsdale. He didn't know where exactly where the Wonderbolts’ training center was, so he would need to find some other pegasus that could point him in the right direction. Once he arrived in Cloudsdale he did not see anypony in the area. He looked at the horizon and noted that the sun still hasn't started to rise yet.
"Uh, hello? It's Tucker, right?" A voice suddenly came from behind him.
Tucker spun around to be greeted by a blue pegasus who was smiling at him.
"Do I know you?" Tucker muttered quietly.
The blue pegasus looked at himself and chuckled. "Right. I'm not wearing my uniform." The pegasus said, rubbing the back of his neck. "We met yesterday at the Cloudaseum. I'm Soarin, from the Wonderbolts."
"Oh yeah." Tucker said. He then started to smile. "Hey, you're on your way to your practice right?"
"Yeah, why?" Soarin asked curiously, eyebrow raised.
"I was wondering if I could come with you and try out for the team." Tucker said.
"I don't know, you didn't exactly make Spitfire happy with your attitude yesterday." Soarin said with a smile. "Plus I'm pretty sure she didn't give you an invite."
"Too bad for her." Tucker said, pulling the envelope out from under his wing, returning Soarin's smile. "It says that if I have this I will be allowed to try out, even if she doesn't remember giving it to me."
Soarin let out a brief laugh and nodded slowly. "I always told her that she should change what they said. Come on, it's not far from here, and if we hurry we should be able to make it there before they start." Soarin said, starting to walk across the clouds. "I'm usually a bit late so that won't surprise her, but I think after seeing you she will be."
"Well I hope it's a pleasant surprise then." Tucker chuckled before following Soarin to the practice area.
Well, interesting development. Alarms are going off in my head though saying that this wont end well.
....Celestia damn it, Tucker
This is why I like Caboose better than you!
It'll be a damned miracle if Tucker gets out of this alive. Rainbow Dash is going to MURDER him.

tucker, u gun die
Tucker I can't say what has already been said so I'm just gonna say its not going to work the way he has it planned out...if he has one. In the meanwhile I'm just going to sit down, eat popcorn and watch as this won't work just right for him.
Rainbow loves all the wonderbolts.
Tucker is now a wonderbolt.
So Rainbow has to continue to love Tucker.
GENUIS!!
Tucker, it's been an honour knowing you.

Rainbow declined her invitation to the wonderbolts to be with Tucker.
Tucker used her invitation to get into the Wonderbolts.

I'm not sure if I'm more hopeful for tension or shenanigans, but let's face it, it's gonna be one or both.
The story suddenly turned into a barrage of abrupt bad romance cliches. The shift was painful.
And changing the notes contents goes on top of Spitfires to do list...*looks at Tucker*....and will hire a unicorn to make it happen retroactively damn the possibility of universe ending paradoxes.
This is either gonna be the best idea made in the history of saving a relationship, or the biggest fuck up a man has made in a relationship, and Tucker already fucked up big time last chapter.
FUCK, this is gonna be craaazy.
>Sees the chapter title
>"Dearly Departed"
>Heart stops
Oh fuck, don't tell me Dash is gonna kill herself!
433582 Dont worry, he can always fight her with his energy fist
Hey its Alcatraz!
tucker, tucker, tucker... when will you learn that "im sorry" has more than 1 context.
433296 the bad news: your NOT helping your case to get back on Rainbow Dash's good side, and your just going to piss her off more, and she WILL END YOU and more than likely rip off 'little tuck'
Damn man right at the top.
When Rainbow Dash got back to her house, she flew straight up to her room, slamming the door after her.
(From now on those things in red are what I have adjusted)
i think shits gonna go down
Loves a big boy word and should not be used lightly
Wait wait wait, I just thought, Tucker keeps getting hit in the fuckberries as he calls them...
THE HELL GRIF?! Hes so lazy he even somehow manages to avoid ball kicks
"When Rainbow Dash back to her house," Needs "When Rainbow Dash got back to her house,", first sentence.

Forget what I said a few chapters back.
1265608 I REALLY need to get you to understand, (even though you are from the past) that the only person who ever hit Grif's balls _bow chika bow wow_ was Tex. Since Tex is not here (yet) than Grif cannot be punched in the nuts. Besides, that gag was only physically in two scenes and then referenced to!
