//------------------------------// // Ch.5: The Wonderbolt Show // Story: Blue Electric's Destiny // by Blueelectric //------------------------------// Blue Electric woken up the Saturday after the sleepover at Twilight's castle. Today Rainbow Dash is taking her to the Wonderbolt show with her date, Fluttershy. I guess I'm going as third wheel, she thought amusingly. When she told Rainbow she never heard of the Wonderbolts, she went ballistic, buying her a ticket straight away. Blue never seen the look of shock quite like Rainbow Dash's. Blue then went out of bed to find it was 8:00 am, so she grabbed a clean towel and went into her bathroom. She sighed with relief as warm water ran down her body. She thought about what had happened at the sleepover. She was thankful when Starlight woke her up. Blue was shocked when Starlight told her she stopped breathing. Was her nightmare that bad? She was thankful that Starlight didn't told the other girls. She didn't want the others to worry about her own problems. She turn off the shower and dried off. She then got her brush and groom her spiky blue mane and tail. She also brushed her teeth. She then went into the kitchen and sliced up an apple and put it into a blender. She crack an egg and also put it into the blender. She turn it on and watch as it mashed into a liquid. She poured her breakfast in a glass cup and chugged it down. She decided to go to the marketplace before the show. So, she grabbed her saddlebag and put some bits in it. When then open her window, hopped out and shut it. She found out that going out her window is far more convenient than going out the front door of the large museum. She then took off to the marketplace. She was purchasing a bag of mangoes, when she heard a familiar voice called out a greeting. She turned and spotted Starlight walking her way with a blue unicorn with a magician hat and cape. "Oh, hello Starlight," she greeted back as she drop her bag and walked over to greeted the purple unicorn. She turn to the blue unicorn. "Who are you?" She asked curiously. The unicorn reared up on her hind legs. "I am the Grreat and Powerful Trixie!", she introduced. She held out a hoof in greetings. "Starlight had told so much about you." Blue took her hoof. Starlight shook her head with a smile at her friend enthusiasm. "So, how you've been doing Blue," she asked. "Nothing much, just doing my job as usual," she answered. "Rainbow Dash is taking me to see a Wonderbolt show with Fluttershy." She stared at the two mares mischievously, "Are you two dating?" She asked joking. The two mares stared at her with a shocking look in their faces, blushing madly. "W-what? No! We are just friends and I'm straight! I mean I think I am!" Said the blushing purple unicorn. "Y-yeah, Trixie is too!", agreed Trixie. Blue was already on the ground cackling. "I'm just kidding you two," she said as she was catching her breath. "You should of seen your faces!" She wiped a stray tear from her face. "Oh!, I never guess you had it in you Blue," said Starlight, her check still red. Then both unicorns covered their mouths giggling. "I guess we'll just let you be. Have fun at the Wonderbolts show." They both walked off. Blue look at the town clock and see that it was 9:50. The Wonderbolts show doesn't start till 10. Horseapples! I'm gonna be late! She swore silently. She rushed back home and dropped off her mangoes. She then went back out and flew off towards the stadium. She quickly soared towards town and spotted the stadium near some mountains. As she got there a huge line was form near the entrance. At the back waiting for her, was Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. She landed when she saw them waving up at her. "Hey, Blue! are you excited for the Wonderbolts show?" Asked Rainbow. She nodded her head nervously. Then the line started to move forward. They each give the worker their tickets and went inside. They took the top seats. Rainbow Dash left to get some snacks, leaving Fluttershy and Blue to start a conversation. "So, Blue what do you think? Are you excited?" asked Fluttershy. She nodded her head. "Rainbow Dash always wanted to join the Wonderbolts. I think it's sounds very frightening, just thinking about all those terrifying tricks." Fluttershy continued. Blue silently agrees with her. "It's not so terrifying if you know what your doing." said a voice behind them. They look back to find two mares, one was a minty green unicorn with a lyre for a cutie mark and the other a cream colored earth pony with a pink and blue mane. The one who spoke was the unicorn. Fluttershy greeted them,"Oh, hello Lyra And Bonbon, you're here to see the Wonderbolts too?" They both nodded their heads. "Blue, this is Lyra and Bonbon, Lyra and Bonbon meet Blue Electric, she's the newest night guard at the museum." They both said their greetings. Bonbon look at Fluttershy with surprise. "This is the first time I ever seen you at one of these shows before. What made you want to come?" Fluttershy look towards the fields with a blush. "Well, I came here with Rainbow Dash. It's our second date." Lyra gasped in delight, "You and Rainbow, on a date? That's wonderful! Bonnie and I are on a date too. This is probably our thousandth date." Rainbow already returned carrying some snacks. She seated next to Fluttershy and hand out some snacks. She gave Blue a bag of cotton candy and some apple soda in a plastic cup. Soon the announcer spoke,"Mares And Gentlecolts Of Ponyville, Presenting The Wonderbolts!" Dozens of pegisi in blue and yellow uniforms flew in a V shape formation. In lead was a mare with a flame colored mane. Beside her in each sides is a blue maned stallion and a mare with a silver mane. Rainbow Dash pointed at them. "The one in the front is the captain of the Wonderbolts; Spitfire. The stallion beside her is co-captain Soarin and the mare beside them is Fleetfoot. They're the main three Wonderbolts I know and most famous." She explained with an excited smile. Blue watch in awe as she watch the pegasi fly in amazing formation. Then all of a sudden grey clouds formed in the sky. Loud thunder roared and lighting flash across the sky. Wind was picking up in all angles and the audiences ran for cover. She can only watch in horror as lightning strikes Spitfire and she fell to the ground. And without thinking she rushed forward and caught the captain of the wonderbolts before she hit the ground. And they both hit the ground, with Blue cushioning the blow. She then blacked out.
