Life in the fast clouds

Announcement

The next day an eager Scootaloo and Rainbow dash walked down to Sugarcube Corner. Dash had planned for all of her friends to be there so she could tell about the letter she had gotten. After Rainbow Dash had read the letter, she proceeded to get onto her could-couch and faint. Rainbow Dash woke up five minutes later and offered Scootaloo to stay the night. Though Rainbow Dash hadn't slept that night from too much excitement she was still as energetic as Pinkie Pie.

The two pegasi walked into Sugarcube Corner, only to be greeted by a large explosion from a party cannon.

"OmygoshDashiewhatdidyouwanttotellus?" said Pinkie all in one breath.

"Now, now, darling," Rarity said shushing Pinkie, "I'm sure Rainbow is just dying to tell us."

Rainbow Dash thought and looked for the right words, "Its too forward to just say 'I'm going to be a Wonderbolt', maybe I could say, 'I'm trying out for the Wonderbolts, and I may get in', ya that will work." Rainbow Dash thought to herself. But just as she was about to say the words she was interrupted by somepony else.

"Dash is gonna be a Wonderbolt!" Scootaloo announced, "She got a letter that said she needs to go to Cloudsdale to try out!"

Each pony gave a different response, Fluttershy gave a small smile before fainting, Applejack gave a pat on the back to Rainbow, Pinkie Pie hugged Dash as hard as she could, Twilight began writing a letter to Princess Celestia, and Rarity's eyes lit up, shining like diamonds.

"Well I'll be, I cant believe y'all got in Dash!" Applejack said.

"We gotta plan the party! There will be cake and treats and punch." Pinkie said standing on one leg using the others to list off party items.

"Dear Princess Celestia, it seems one of my dear friends Rainbow Dash..." Twilight mumbled under her breath as she wrote the letter.

"Cloudsdale?" Rarity gasped, "That's amazing Rainbow dear, you simply must tell us all about it! Ooh! Maybe you can go to Canterlot! I would love to go again.

Fluttershy laid on the ground eyes closed, still fainted.

"Woah guys," Dash said, "Its not official, I still have to test out and get in, but if I do I'll make sure you all come with."

"Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said finishing the letter.

"Now Dash, Ah gotta ask, what in tarnation did the letter say?" Applejack questioned.

"Well it was fairly short, but it said that at nine o' clock I have to be at Cloudsdale stadium to try out." Dash answered.

"Well did it say the date?" Rarity asked.

"No but, I still have Soarin's number from that night after the wedding," Rainbow Dash said recalling the night, "Ya he said if you ever want to get some pie sometime call me, and gave me the number, I'm sure I can call him and ask."

Fluttershy then woke up, "I'm sorry everypony for fainting, I mean, this is just so amazing. Think of all the fun Rainbow will have." Fluttershy spoke softly.

"Are you bringing anypony with you to Cloudsdale?" Twilight asked.

"I have one pony in mind," Rainbow Dash thought smiling, "but that's only if they want to go."

Rainbow Dash crouched down low, eye level, to Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo, want to go with me to Cloudsdale?" Rainbow asked smiling down at the little filly.

Scootaloo's heart skipped a beat. She could go to Cloudsdale with her all-time idol?!

"I-I don't know what to say," Scootaloo said, "Wait! I mean of course I will!"

Everypony laughed and sat down to have some treats.


---------------------------


Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo sat in the cloud house, Rainbow Dash was packing for the trip. Scootaloo had already packed and told her parents she wasn't going to be home for a little bit. Dash was happy Scootaloo was with her, even if she wasn't the best flier she was one of the best fillies she had ever met.

"Scoots," Rainbow said, "should I pack the gala dress in case we go to a party of some sort?" Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash began to laugh, everypony knew Rainbow wouldn't dress up for anything unless forced to. The only time she had even gotten into a dress was when Rarity threatened to hide her Daring Do books. Speaking of which she needed to pack those too.

"Dash," Scootaloo said quietly, "thank you so much for taking me, I'm really happy I can come with."

Rainbow Dash smiled at the little pegasus, she was happy Scootaloo was coming with, she would never want to leave her. "No problem squirt." Dash replied holding back small tears.

"Oh crap," Rainbow Dash said, "I gotta call Soarin' real quick kid, be right back."

Rainbow Dash walked outside onto her balcony and dialed Soarins number. Man this phone was a pain, the buttons were too small!

"Hey Soarin'" Rainbow Dash said when she heard him pick up.

"Oh man, hey RD!" Soarin' replied.

"Hey I was wondering what time to I report to Cloudsdale for the test?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Cloudsdale? You got the wrong place, you're going to Canterlot, we need to go to the stadium there, I think Spitfire sent you a letter saying we had changed places." Soarin' answered.

Just then Scootaloo called from the inside, "Rainbow! You got another letter! Ohh, it says the test is being moved to Canterlot!"

Rainbow facehoofed, "Just got the letter."

"Great, so its in two days at 9:00 sharp at Canterlot stadium, got it?" Soarin asked.

"Yep got it, thanks Soarin', tell everpony I say hi!" Rainbow Dash said and hung up.

"Kay squirt, its bedtime." Rainbow Dash said, as she walked into the guest room with Scootaloo.

"Dash," Scootalo asked. "Can everypony else come with now, since the test has been moved to Canterlot?

"Well," Rainbow Dash thought aloud, "I think they could, I know Rarity would want to go for sure, Twilight may want to visit her brother, Applejack could sell some apples... Ya they may want to go. I'll check into ok?

"Ok," Scootaloo answered starting to fall asleep, "night Rainbow."

"Night Scootaloo." Rainbow said as she turned off the light and walked outside of the room.

Rainbow Dash called her friends, well she called two of them, she got Rarity and Applejack who both said yes. but, she couldn't get a hold of Fluttershy, Twilight, or Pinkie. "Hmmm," Rainbow Dash thought, "I'll have to call them tomorrow." Rainbow Dash got into bed, and fell asleep.

-----------------------------

Rainbow Dash had finally asked all of her friends, all had said yes. Everypony was coming with and Rainbow Dash was glad. She needed the support. They were leaving today at 1:00. They were all staying in the castle because Twilight had told Princess Celestia they were coming to Canterlot. So now, Everypony was at the train station, waiting to board the train for Canterlot.

The train soon came, and after a five hour train ride, they were all at Canterlot, in the castle.

"Mannn," Rainbow Dash said, "I am tired." Everypony soon passed out after the words were spoken. Tomorrow the test begins, they might as well rest up.
