Chapter 3:

The Wonderbolts had been placed in their rooms for their week in Ponyville.
Soarin's room felt as if he had gone to Appleloosa for the week with the sandy-coloured wallpaper and the portraits of cactus plants and western movie style buildings.

As he was unpacking his bags, Soarin noticed that his room had all sorts of awesome features to it. This included a bed that could fit two ponies on it, a private shower room with a mirror and a TV.
'I'm going to love it here.' thought Soarin as he placed his shampoos and coat wash in the shower room.

Soarin had finished unpacking at 12:20pm. Before he went to put his Wonderbolt suit on he had a quick look of the photo of him and the rainbow maned mare.
'Maybe I should take this with me. I can see if I can place the photo in my suit when I'm doing the performance and get it out afterwards.' thought Soarin.
He then took the photo, laid it on his back and carefully put on his Wonderbolt suit.
Soarin thought 'It worked. It's in. Now I can focus on the performance.' as he left his motel room.

After Soarin left his bedroom, he found himself face to face with Spitfire.
"Hey Soarin, looks as if you're ready." said Spitfire.
"Guessing the others are already done?" asked Soarin.
"No. Most of them seem to have suit problems again." sighed Spitfire. "Happens every time I swear."
"Yet the guys have a problem with how I wake up slowly yet I can get a suit on faster than they can." explained Soarin.
"I see your point." said Spitfire.
Soarin and Spitfire then laughed amongst each other as they waited for their companions to get prepared for the performance that was going to start in twenty minutes.

* * *

Both the Market Square and the Town Hall areas of Ponyville were already crowded with ponies eager to watch the performance of the Wonderbolts.

Fluttershy was stood on an edge of the crowds in the Market Square.
'Where could Rainbow Dash be? I bet she'll be with the ponies by Town Hall.' thought Fluttershy as she looked at the crowd of ponies she was stood in. 'In that case, I wonder where Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack would be?'

A sound of someone approaching could soon be heard. Fluttershy turned to the source of the sound to see Rainbow Dash's figure flying at a high speed towards her direction. Fluttershy then turned towards Rarity's boutique to see the front door opening and the figures of Rarity and Sweetie Bell leaving the building. This signalled Fluttershy to hover in the air to make herself seen by her friends.

Soon Fluttershy was approached by Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Sweetie Bell which allowed her to land.

"Hey Fluttershy!" greeted Rainbow Dash.
"Why hello Fluttershy!" said Rarity at the same time as Rainbow Dash.
"Umm, hi!" replied Fluttershy.
"I'm surprised that you came to see the Wonderbolts Fluttershy." said Rarity.
"Umm, well, I thought it would be nice to see then while they're here." responded Fluttershy.
"I'm surprised that you would see the Wonderbolts Rarity." said Rainbow Dash.
Rarity laughed at what Rainbow Dash said.

Sweetie Bell then put her hoof on Rarity's leg. "When will the Wonderbolts start Sis?" she asked.
"About ten minutes." replied Rarity. "I'm sure you can manage that can you?"
"Well sure." replied Sweetie Bell.
"Don't worry Sweetie Bell. They'll be in the sky before we know it." assured Fluttershy.
Sweetie Bell smiled at Fluttershy's words as if they were literal.

A loud whizzing could be heard. This turned the crowded Market Square silent.
Rainbow Dash mumbled "Oh my gosh I can't wait to see what they're gonna do!"
Fluttershy, Rarity and Sweetie Bell just stared in the same direction the rest of the crowd were.

Suddenly a number of black clouds appeared from a number of tiny figures in the sky. The figures then went towards each other and bounced off each other, leaving a large amount of coloured clouds which made a huge bang.
Everyone in the crowds began to cheer as if they were at a pop concert. Even Fluttershy's cheering could be heard in the crowd.
The figures of what everyone identified as the Wonderbolts then did individual tricks. One of then did many loops at a high speed, another performed an uncountable amount of barrel rolls in a row. There were even tricks that some of them did in twos. One of the pairs did a half loop starting and ending when they met, making a brief appearance of a heart outline and turned to perform some syncronised twists.
The crowd then went crazy.
All of the Wonderbolts then worked together to make a giant circle in the sky which transformed in shape as the trick went on. The shape slowly transformed from a circle to an oval which then transformed into a square. The shape then transformed back into a circle and the Wonderbolts then left the circle at the same time and met with each other, causing a firework display as they split from each other.
The crowd of ponies in Ponyville were screaming as the Wonderbolts finished that performance.

As the noise died down, the crowds began to shrink with most of those in the crowds talking amongst themselves.
"Oh sweet Celestia, that was truely AWESOME!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted with glee.
"I couldn't agree more Rainbow Dash." said Rarity. "They were so dazzling."
Sweetie Bell stood there as if she was still watching the Wonderbolts performing.
Fluttershy giggled and said "Sweetie Bell, the Wonderbolts aren't performing anymore."
Sweetie Bell's attention was still focussed on the sky.
"Never mind her Fluttershy. She clearly loved it too." said Rarity.
Sweetie Bell then shook her head at a rapid speed, turned towards Rarity and shouted "That was the best thing I've ever seen!"
"Glad you liked it Sweetie Bell." said Rarity with a smile.
"Ok, now the Wonderbolts have finished their performance, I need to find some fruit trees." said Rainbow Dash. "I promised Fluttershy that I'll do it since she can't get anything until the next market day so see ya!"
Rainbow Dash then left Fluttershy, Rarity and Sweetie Bell as quick as the wind.
"We'd best be going as well." explained Rarity. "I've got some work to do."
"And I've got some crusading to do!" explained Sweetie Bell.
"I'll see you both later. I have to get back to my animal friends anyway." explained Fluttershy.
The three mares then walked their separate ways.

"Well, that was an amazing performance!" complimented Mayor Mare.
"We think that too Mayor." said Spitfire.
"I'm sure everypony will be excited to meet you in Town Hall tomorrow. You really made those crowds go wild!" explained Mayor Mare.
"And we'll be excited to meet them." said Spitfire with confidence.
"Well, it was nice meeting you. See you tomorrow!" said Mayor Mare.
"We'll see you tomorrow afternoon!" said Spitfire as she turned to leave the Mayor's house followed by her companions.

As the Wonderbolts were outside, Spitfire explained "You guys showed a lot of guts today so I'll let you guys have the time to explore Ponyville as you wish. Just don't cause any trouble."
The other Wonderbolts nodded in agreement and went off to do as they wished.

'This could be my chance to find that cute looking mare. Maybe I should get my suit off and start searching.' thought Soarin.
