Rainbow Dash has a great fear of the dentist. So when she needs to go thanks to a bad tooth, can she work up the courage to go? Or will her friends need to step in? Probably the latter.

My first ever fanfiction. Keep in mind I wanted to start with something very simple for my first story. Don't expect anything deep or serious in here. I'll do something better next story. Any compliments or constructive criticism is acceptable.

I would also like to thank my friends Cat Price for the pre-reading, and Hunter Bley AKA "Clade Earthsong" for his help and suggestions.
Thank you so much.

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.

Even the brightest flames burn out eventually.

Entry for EFNW's 2019 Iron Author.

Abut thirty years before Twilight Sparkle was crowned the third Princess of Equestria, a small band of travelling performers entertained the thin boundaries between Equestria and the neigh-boring lands. With fire-dancers, magicians, trapeze artists and the best darn circus the border towns had ever seen, it was a well-off little business.

But a young Pegasus filly, adopted from the roadside, still dreams of something more.

Rainbow Dash is still competing, but she is not the racer she used to be. After her sixth consecutive loss to an old rival, she faces an unthinkable choice. Her old strength is within reach - but at what cost?

Written hr for the Psychedelics Contest, for the prompt ‘The only option left’. Came in third.

Before the crusaders, there was the three hazards of Ponyville. It's been ten years since the hazards promised to meet again some sunny day. The promise thay made that day will shine through the trouble that split them apart in the years after.

With help from JumbledThought, and Rinnaul.

Rainbow Dash breaks into Twilight lab and steals some gum. This leads to some bigger than intended problems. And I'm not just talking about the earful that Twilight is going to give Rainbow Dash when she finds out where her precious science project went

This is part of my trade with Tsitra360

(Macro/Micro)

How can a pony move on after they lose everything?

How can they come to terms when faced with the reality that they may no longer be able to return to their old life?

Spitfire finds herself critically injured and hospitalized. How can the captain of the Wonderbolts — a pegasus proud to soar across the wide blue sky — deal with finding herself unquestionably grounded?

Expanded from my entry to the Quills & Sofas Spitfire contest, tied for first place.

Also an entry into the 2024 Wonderbolts Site Contest.

Special thanks to Drider for pre-reading!

On the last mission to save Equestria, Rainbow Dash was hurt. Not critically and she'll heal, but for now she's grounded. But she also promised that she'd do a Sonic Rainboom at the next Wonderbolts show for Scootaloo's parents, and she is not going to let her girl down.

Solution: get another Rainbow Dash.

There's just two problems.

First, Spitfire knows her team backwards and forwards and she's not fooled.

Second, the human Rainbow Dash doesn't actually know how to do a Rainboom as a pony.

I'm sure this won't cause any problems.

Rainbow Dash asks Spitfire for teaching advice. Spitfire's not sure the analogy she's using is actually helpful.
