Chapter 9: Mystery of the Missing Wonderbolt







(M.C.'s Point of View)


Well, Twilight and Spike had to go to the Crystal Empire to help Cadance and Shining Armor with some visiting dignitaries. That just left me, Mutt, Nyx and Joshua at the castle with nothing to do. I did a mail check, and I saw a letter to a Wonderbolts show in Canterlot, and Rainbow might be a part of the show. So, we got on the train to Canterlot, and we looked for Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts.

But when we got there, it would seem that the Wonderbolts were angry at Rainbow Dash for some reason. We got in on the commotion and I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the heck is going on?!"

"Well, couldn't you see?" asked an elderly pegasus. "This mare has tricked the leader of the Wonderbolts, Spitfire, into leaving to take care of her sick mother, but her sick mother is here and healthy."

I crossed my arms and said, "Really? Do you really think you can trick me like that? I could smell that lie a mile away."

"Wait, what?" Rainbow asked. "What do you mean that Wind Rider lied? He wouldn't do that. Would he?"

"I can smell a truth from a lie," said M.C. "Let's see what else he's lying about."

"Mind if I join you in the investigation?" I knew that voice. I turned my head and saw Rarity. Oh, right, she just recently opened a boutique here in Canterlot. I nodded and she was ecstatic in helping.





Before we started investigating, we dropped Nyx and Joshua off at their grandparents house. Then we all headed towards the room where Spitfire was staying. It turns out the guards were bribed with a chocolate cake for somepony to deliver something to Spitfire. And we went into the room, and found the letter that Spitfire had.

Wind Rider grabbed the letter and said, "Oh, look inside this envelope. It has rainbow colored hair in it."

I grabbed the hair from him and I said, "I see. But riddle me this. How does one lose a chunk of hair. It didn't fall out. It was cut, and planted."

Rarity started sniffing. She then asked, "What's that smell?"

"Cologne," I said. "Juniper Phoenix is the brand name. But, smelling it in here, it's been in here for hours. And what is Wind Rider's cologne of choice?"

"Juniper Phoenix," said the other Wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash.

"And one more thing," I said, with my eyes glowing in a golden aura. "Nice stain on your scarf." I then quickly pulled the scarf off of Wind Rider and showed the Wonderbolts the chocolate frosting stain. That made everypony in the room gasp, except for Wind Rider.

"Y-you?!" Rainbow Dash asked in shock. "But why?"

"I believe I can answer that," said Rarity. "It was because he was afraid that you would break his long-distance Wonderbolt record! I heard him when Spitfire said you were close to breaking his record. He said, and I quote, 'Heh-heh'. That's the polite but disingenuous laugh you make when you want to seem happy but really you're not."

Wind Rider then groaned and said, "If I could get Rainbow Dash kicked out of the Wonderbolts forever, my record could be preserved."

"But instead, you got careless and tried framing a pony who looked up to you, only to lose your biggest fan," said M.C. "And now, I believe you'll be kicked out of the Wonderbolts when Spitfire hears about this."

"She'll never know the truth," said Wind Rider. "She trusts me completely. Plus, you'll never get find her. I've had Spitfire fly all the way to the Crystal Mountains."

"Rainbow, think you can fly there and back with Spitfire in time for the show?" I asked.

"Duh," said Rainbow Dash. Then she took off towards where Spitfire was.

"In my kingdom, you would be imprisoned for a week for saying 'Duh' to a dignitary or a royal," I said.

"Luckily, that won't happen," said Mutt.





Rainbow Dash has been gone for hours. The rest of us were trying to keep ourselves busy. Mutt and I were doing some burpees. One of the Wonderbolts, Blaze, was keeping her eye out the window.

"Rainbow Dash is still gone!"

"Oh, don't panic," Rarity said walking up to her. "If I know Rainbow Dash, she'll come through."

I then looked towards the door and said, "Oh, look. There she is."

Then the door opened and in came Rainbow Dash and Spitfire. Spitfire was exhausted.

"Spitfire, you're back!" said the Wonderbolt known as Soarin. "I can't believe you made it!"

Still out of breath, she could still speak and said, "I wouldn't have, if Rainbow Dash hadn't found me so fast!"





Well that was an interesting day. Because of the actions of Wind Rider, he was dishonorably discharged and kicked out of the Wonderbolts. Rainbow Dash flew in his place instead, and it was official. Rainbow Dash is now a honest to god Wonderbolt. Me, Mutt, Nyx and Joshua enjoyed the show.

Rarity and I really have saved Rainbow Dash's bacon when it came to that predicament. Rainbow Dash has really earned this. Her friends are going to be excited to know that Rainbow is now an official Rainbow Dash. Especially Pinks.
