A new school year brings a new soccer season -- but Canterlot High's already on the ropes. Their team captain just can't seem to get it together.

Fortunately the team also has a vice captain: a best friend who just isn't going to stand for sadness on her watch.

(A Bookish/iJab production! Cover by the latter as well. Thanks for everything.)

NOTE: We've actually taken this story's concept and given it a massive makeover. Check it out here!

Two worlds. Two friendships.

However, sometimes it takes another Rainbow Dash to say what one can't.

Now with a dramatic audio reading by Goombasa! Thanks, dood! :D

The night after they defeated Nightmare Moon and rescued Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash finds Twilight on a hilltop outside Ponyville, staring up at Canterlot. Afterwards, the two find themselves returning to that same hilltop night after night, discussing their crazy adventures, and the things they've never shared with anypony else.

Massive thanks to Furor1 and Nyuuchandiannepie for the ridiculously awesome artwork, you should really check them out on DeviantArt if you've not already.

Dedicated to Donald Campbell and his Bluebird, for chasing his horizons for no other reason than the fact that they were there. Also to Steve Hogarth and Marillion for writing Out Of This World, the song that inspired this story.

Twilight is called up to Canterlot castle to help Luna after the loneliness and isolation of living 1000 years behind the rest of society sets in.

We trained her.
We taught her.
We raised her to godhood.
She brought us down to earth.

Twilight Sparkle's exam at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is coming up, and she is bound and determined to ace it. Spike is, as always, willing to help.
