The sun rises in a park as Rainbow Dash, dressed in a light teal tai chi outfit, moves slowly and camly. Moving with her is a girl with long green hair, yellow eyes, and skin that resembles scales. Her outfit is a regal garb, and she has a swinging tail. After fifteen minutes, Rainbow bowed to the girl.
"Thanks for the tai chi workout, Jinafire." Rainbow said.
"It is my pleasure, Rainbow Dash." Jinafire replied as she bowed back. "I am very honored to help you prepare for the soccer match coming this weekend."
The rest of the Rainbooms arrived, and are surprised to see Rainbow in her current outfit.
"Morning, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle greeted. "I didn't know you do tai chi."
"That's right, Twi." Rainbow replied. "This is how I have been doing well in the soccer field."
"Wow!" Applejack blurted. "You are full of surprises."
"You bet, AJ. And, it doesn't hurt to have Jinafire here help me."
Everyone saw Rainbow's tai chi friend, and realized who it is.
"Oh my goodness." Rarity said with astonishment. "Jinafire Long."
Sunset Shimmer got surprised. "Jinafire Long? No kidding?"
Jinafire walked up to the former baddie. "It's me all right, Sunset Shimmer. Pleasure to meet you."
"You got Rainbow Dash interested in tai chi?" Twilight wondered.
Jinafire nodded as she gave an explanation. "When soccer season started, Rainbow Dash felt a little stressed out. Unsure about her performance, I approached her and explained that tai chi can help her."
"I was a little hesitant about it at first." Dash continued. "But, after trying tai chi for a while, I felt more relaxed. I even do tai chi before bedtime."
"Jinafire sure makes a good teacher." Applejack figured. "Not bad for a dragon."
Fluttershy got shocked. "A dragon?!"
"Chinese dragon to be precise." Jinafire added.
Pinkie Pie walks up to Jinafire with a hot dog in her hand. "You, a dragon? I don't believe it."
"Give me your hot dog," Jinafire said as she picks up a long stick, "and I'll prove it. The hot dog, not the bun."
Pinkie gave Jinafire the hot dog. Poking a stick through it, she blew green flames from her mouth, and heated the hot dog. Jinafire then returned the hot dog to Pinkie.
"Wow!" Pinkie shouted as she enjoyed her newly heated hot dog. "That's proof enough for me."
Everyone shared a good laugh. Later, Rainbow Dash moved slowly in her bedroom, watching a tai chi video. As soon as the video was over, she puts down her phone, and places her pajamas on the bed.
Like Twilight and the others figured, Dash thought. I am full of surprises.
