When Twilight is sent to Amethyst Harbor to prepare for the Summer Sun Celebration by Princess Celestia to meet up with her other student Sunset Shimmer, Twilight is less than happy that her warnings about Nightmare Moon are being ignored. When Nightmare Moon finally reveals herself, Twilight and Sunset find themselves being assisted by two stunt flyers of the Wonderbolts, an artist and a gardener pony.

During the night of Rainbow Dash's humiliating performance with the Wonderbolts, Twilight and her friends go and check on her to see if she was alright, only to find out that Rainbow Dash had immediately resigned from her position and flew away home before anypony could stop her.

Determined to convince the crestfallen Pegasus to rejoin the Wonderbolts, Twilight and her friends must do everything in their power to change Rainbow Dash's mind. Can Rainbow Dash forgive the Wonderbolts and try again to live on with her dream, or is the damage to her pride too great for her to be convinced?

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This fic contains spoilers for Newbie Dash. If you have not seen the episode before, then you have the option of watching it before you read this fic. This is a fic about what I think should've happened between Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts.

Enjoy,

Retirement. It was a tough subject for Spitfire. She knew she was about to retire soon, but she hadn' t notified Fleetfoot and Soarin of her decision. Unfortunately for Spitfire, Fleetfoot already knows and is more than apt to tell her all of her feelings on the matter. She's angry. She's anxious. She's upset.

She just wants Spitfire not to leave. Was it that hard to want something like this in life?

Apparently to Spitfire, there's more to this than meets the eye.

Written originally for a Speedwrite for Quills and Sofas' Spitfire Contest under both prompts Leave No One Behind and Finish Line, where it tied for 1st place. This is a revised expanded version of said fic that is now a submission to the 2024 Wonderbolts Sitewide Contest.

Pre-read by 6-D Pegasus.

Fame and glory. For the longest time, this was all Spitfire needed. She had her Wonderbolts, some close friends, and the adoration of millions. However, when a newspaper posts and article about her love life—or rather, her lack of one—and those around her all get special someponies, Spitfire gets desperate. Desperate to go on a date with a clown.

This story was created for Jack the Army Guy's strange ship contest that was two months ago. I was mostly done with the story then, but life got in the way with my mom getting cancer, my own heart giving me problems, and just a whole pile of other problems. Just as the old sang goes, it never rains but it pours.

I have never seen a ship story between Troubleshoes and Spitfire so I decided to take it up. This was once a clop idea I had but never got around to writing. So here is the safe version, you all can think of the cloppy parts on your own.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the story, it was a lot of fun writing it. Thank you to Arbarano as always for the edits and the cover art belongs to jekidrawings.

An alternate version of "Newbie Dash" where Rainbow Dash leaves the Wonderbolts instead of messing up the Air Show. Upon finding Rainbow's resignation letter and discarded Wonderbolt uniform with jacket by Soarin, Spitfire goes and confronts the AWOL Rainbow Dash.

Author's Note: I know Rainbow's not a quitter. But she came in close in episodes like "Testing 1,2,3) and (Rarity Investigates).

This story is a sequel to Changeling Space Program

Twilight Sparkle's experimental interplanetary drive has malfunctioned, stranding Starlight Glimmer, Spitfire, Cherry Berry, a changeling and a dragon on a hostile planet in another universe. With limited food supplies, very little magic, no communications with home, and no way to leave the planet, they must survive until somepony rescues them.

Fortunately they crashed right next door to another creature with the exact same problem- a creature named Mark Watney.

They're going to science the buck out of everything- and do whatever it takes to survive Mars and get everybody home.

War would soon be upon Equestria, the Griffon revolution having left Griffonstone with an insatiable thirst for Equestrian blood. As a rising recruit, Spitfire just wanted to leave her mark and make her mother proud. But as war looms overhead, she would soon find out that unquestioning loyalty is not as noble as she thinks. Because after all, what goes up must come down in a raging inferno. Her name is Spitfire after all.

Let me know what you think, I love to hear it! Any ideas and or corrections that float across your mind are greatly appreciated! I am taking a different approach to writing this so I am likely going to make many mistakes.

When an individual may be vital to the nation’s safety, can she be permitted to make her own choices? Which is the lesser evil: to restrict her future for the sake of the realm, or to grant her the same freedom as her fellow subjects, even if doing so may—or may not—endanger the country?
