//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Rainbow Dash joins the Air Force // by Count_Pony001 //------------------------------// Taking a taxi, Rainbow Dash said, "I love being in the Equestrian Air Force, I earn lots of money, and my favorite thing about it is that I get to fly planes." She chuckled as she rode the taxi, she was in the force for one year and has so much money, she can buy two mansions. Rainbow Dash said, "I LOVE being in the Equestrian Air Force, I earn a lot of money, and my favorite thing about it is I get to fly Including myself and my comrades! Sometimes we race against each other!" The taxi dropped her off at Canterlot, she raced to the gate of the base where the guards yelled "HALT!" Rainbow Dash displayed her Airmen ID card and they let her in. Seeing many ponies riding planes, lifting dumbbells, and fixing planes, Rainbow Dash called out to them, "Hey ponies! " A light green mare looked at Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash noticed the mane of the mare, she looked familiar. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash asked, "Lighting Dust!" Lighting Dust looked at Rainbow Dash and asked, "Oh hey, Rainbow Dash. What's up, did you get fired?" She asked sarcastically. Lighting Dust laughed. Rainbow Dash said with her hooves covering her face, "No, I quit the Wonder-Bolts." Lighting Dust turned around and looked at them. "Oh okay. Wanna be friends again?" Lighting Dust asked Rainbow Dash, who hesitated for a moment before answering, "Err, sure." Next, the two agreed to do a helicopter race from here to Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash said, "Last one there is a rotten Pegasi!" Then, Rainbow Dash dashed to the helicopter, and started to ride it to Clouds-dale. After a while, the manes were tied, neck to neck. Then, Rainbow Dash got to Clouds-dale first. She landed the helicopter and yelled, "Yes! I won!" she said as bragging. Lighting Dust said, "Good Game, Dash!" Then, the two went down to the base. Then Derpy said, "Oh hey Dash, nice to see you! I am a sergeant here." Rainbow Dash said, "That's cool, I been here for a year! this is so much better than the wonder-bolts." Then she heard an angry voice coming from no-where saying, "Why do they suck?" Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Lighting Dust turned around and saw Soarin. Soarin said "Why you think they suck?" Rainbow Dash said "Soarin, I though you and the other Wonder-bolts have an air show to present!" Soarin said, "Well, yes but there is no more Wonder-bolts, ever since YOU left the Wonder-bolts, nopony came to see us preform, Spitfire disband us, and I had to work in a rock form to afford my house and to pay off my debt! nopony sees us cause what we did to you reach Ponyvill, and you were the best pony on the Wonder-bolt reserve!" Rainbow Dash said, "I am the best pony on the Wonder-bolts." Soarin moaned and left. " I can't decide to feel guilty or to feel proud, proud cause I left those mean ponies and find something that sticks to my passion, but guilty since I just destroyed the Wonder-bolts, the FASTEST, and COOLEST Pegasus in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said. Derpy said, "DOn't feel bad buddy, those ponies were mean and plus, this job is awesome." Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, this job is 20% cooler!"
