Spitfire has a call sign, just like every other Wonderbolt. However, she tries to keep hers a secret, and it's FAR worse than "Rainbow Crash."

Based on season 6, episode 7: "Newbie Dash."

Fair warning: Written in about an hour and a half and with minimal editing.

Rainbow "Danger Professionalism Crash" Dash is starting to get used to her new life in the Wonderbolts; embarrassing callsign and all. But as the days go by, one thing seems to bother her. And that thing is one of her new teammates, Surprise. Or as the team sometimes likes to call her, Slowpoke.

But you wouldn't know that just be looking at her. In her time cleaning the barracks, Rainbow Dash would never think of Surprise as a slowpoke. If anything, she's insane, quirky, and actually a more subdued version of a certain pink pony from back home. So what gives? Why is Surprise called Slowpoke? For Rainbow Dash, the truth is certainly going to be, surprising.

...

Okay, I'll hit myself for that one. *smeck*

My mini-epilogue to the episode Newbie Dash.

Firefly has lived a full life, and she has a lot to be proud of. Not only did she serve her country as a defender of the ponies, but her elite flight squadron stands as one of the greatest accomplishments in equine military history. In fact, their inspiring maneuvers and fierce camaraderie will continue to shape the future of the EUP and Equestrian society in general for generations to come. For now, however, Firefly has other priorities. Old and retired, she has decided that now would be the best time for her to write out her memoirs.

However, this won't be any ordinary autobiography. Just yesterday, Firefly received a gift from the newest Wonderbolt recruit, Private Posey. It is a book that is said to be magic. According to Posey, depending on what you write in it, it will ask you questions. Although skeptical, Firefly is willing to give it a shot, if only to be polite. Besides, she does like the idea of sharing her awesome story with an audience, even if that audience is a book.

And the part of the book will be played by you, dear reader.

That's right, this is an Ask Fic. If you have any questions for the retired Wonderbolt General Firefly, feel free to leave them in the Comments below. Rated Teen for minor swearing, heavy themes, and due to the fact that I have no idea what you guys are going to ask.

Rainbow Dash thought her troubles were over once she came to terms with Tank needing to hibernate. Then she got a letter telling her to report to the Wonderbolt Academy ASAP. It turns out there was an incident at the Weather Factory, and Spitfire wants answers. While Rainbow is ready to come clean, she's deathly afraid of what will happen next.

My mini-epilogue to the episode Tanks for the Memories.

Dramatic Reading by TheCaptainSand

The events of the Wonderbolt Academy have played out and Rainbow Dash is in the stretch to achieving her dream but still has a hard time getting a certain erstwhile friend out of her mind. After taking a few minutes to contemplate things, she decides that she's been given enough second chances in her life to see to it that somepony else gets one as well.

Rated Teen for some language later on, though nothing extremely vulgar.

Spitfire has been distraught ever since the conflict she had with Soarin at the tryouts for the Equestria Games, and as she recalled her past failures, these feelings have only built up inside of her since. When her depression becomes too large for her to hide, Soarin notices her plight just before Spitfire can react. How will he react to the emotions she has been bottling up for a long time?

This story is a sequel to Scoot Camp

After her extended leave-of-absence, Scootaloo finally gets to return to the Wonderbolt Academy. She couldn't be more excited. Once again, she gets to fly with the best of the best, reunite with her fellow cadets and hang out with her friends at the academy. But she is in for a surprise; a lot can change in a month.

Meanwhile, Spitfire feels that the cadets need to work together as a team and calls in—what she believes—is the perfect pony for the job. However, what starts out as a simple training exercise soon escalates into a fight for their lives.

Prequel Stories: Scoot Camp & A Mother's Blessing

After being summoned to a meeting with Wonderbolt Commander Spitfire, Rainbow Dash finally learns the truth about why she has been passed over by the Wonderbolts all this time. A little bit of Rainbowfire.

This story is a sequel to My Little Investigations: The Gemstone Godfather

My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am the Princess of Friendship; one of the rulers of Equestria. There was once a time when I was called the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. I used this identity briefly to teach my friend Rainbow Dash a lesson in humility. Several moons after that incident, somepony else has taken up the mantle, using it to protect ponies who are in peril. Very few ponies know the true nature of this enigmatic mare; I among them. The only thing known for certain is that she is a true hero.

But now, she has gone mad. Or at least, that's what we're supposed to believe after she allegedly crashed this year's Grand Galloping Gala. Personally, I'm not buying it. Like I said, I know this Mare-Do-Well. She would never do something like this. And as if to confirm my suspicions, there was a note left at the crime scene stating that an impostor is on the loose in one of four locations. Thankfully, I'm not alone in thinking this. My friends support me, and three ponies who have worked with Mare-Do-Well in the past agree that something is amiss.

This is their story as much as it is my own. Mare-Do-Well is our friend, and we have to be there for her just as she's been there for us. Whether she's in the Griffon Kingdom, Manehattan, the Mewlun Mountains, or here in Canterlot, we will find her and unmask her doppelgänger. Come along, Spike! The game is afoot!

The story we're about to tell you is real, although some details are ambiguous in nature. To emphasize this point, no names have been changed. It is also my duty to inform you that this tale contains subject matter that may be inappropriate for younger audiences. Viewer's discretion is strongly advised.

((Case 4 of the Mare-Do-Well Files. It's highly recommended that you read the other cases first; otherwise you will get confused.))

POV Codex:

T: Twilight Sparkle
S: Spitfire
O: Octavia
A: Amethyst Star
M: Multiple POVs in the same chapter

The phrase "I'm your wing" and variations thereof has been used by pegasi since pre-unification times; particularly those that serve in the military. It means: "I've got your back no matter what." Nowadays, few pegasi rally that cry around like the Wonderbolts do. And no Wonderbolt rallies that cry around quite like Misty Fly does.

Whether she's guiding her partner through a difficult maneuver or helping her comrades overcome personal anxieties, Misty Fly is a pony who puts her team first. Her dedication to being a team player above and beyond the call of duty has earned her nicknames such as "The Ideal Wingpony" and "The Wonderbolts' Unofficial Shrink." She considers these nicknames to be badges of honor, and she does her best to live up to them.

But when a stray thunderbolt puts her out of commission, her self-confidence is shaken. She feels as though she let her team (and by extension, Spitfire) down. And while the pony she admires most is going through a rough patch, she's confined to a bed and unable to do anything about it. For once, she feels weak. For once, she feels useless. For once, she needs somepony to be her wing.

Takes place during the events of My Little Investigations: Wonderbolts Under Fire, but has no major spoilers. Rated Teen for some language and suggestive imagery.
