Chapter 13

"FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS, WELCOME TO THE (somepony sneezed) ANNUAL OF THE BEST YOUNG FLIER COMPETITION, "the announcer announced, " AND NOW LET US WELCOME THE RULERS OF EQUESTRIA, PRINCESS CELESTIA AND PRINCESS LUNA."

We heard trumpets being played, announcing the arrival of the royal sisters.

"AND TODAY WE HAVE TWIENTY COMPETITORS FOR YOU TODAY, AND THIS YEAR'S PRIZE IS A WHOLE DAY WITH THE WONDERBOLTS (more cheering was heard) AND NOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHERED ADO, LET'S GET THIS COMPETITION STARTED."

We all heard cheering and the first pony in line flew out of the curtains, after a while we all heard oohs and ows coming from outside.

"THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK, NOW FOR THE NEXT CONTENDER."

"Let's do this, "cried out a brown pegasus, where we heard the crowd oohhing like somepony's pain got seriously hurt.

"What is going on out there? "Dash asked getting nervous.

"I don't know, but I think you shouldn't have said those words."

It went on like this for nine more contenders, each of them ending in some kind of misfortune, with only a few pegasi being able to get through all of their performance.

Until it was Gilda's turn, she took a deep breath and the announcer called her out.

There were gasps of surprise as Gilda left backstage.

A few minutes later we heard cheering coming from outside and Gilda walks right back in, with a smile and said to Dash, "glad to know that I can still fly awesome, now knock them dead when it is your turn."

"Got it, "Dash said to Gilda with a salute and a smile.

When it was Ditzy's turn, she happily flew out and after a few minutes later she came back from finishing her routine, she said to me as she walked by, "something great is going to happen, because I saw myself in the crowd out there."

"Wait what? "I said confused at what she said, but my question fell on deaf ears as she walked away humming.

"What was that about? "Dash asked.

"Oh, nothing."

When it was finally my turn, I was a nervous wreck from hearing all the groans and awws of disappointment coming from the crowd outside.

"Hay don't worry it will be ok, "Dash said reassuring me.

I took a deep breath and thought, ok, I can do this, just concentrate and have fun.

"AND NOW FOR CONTESTANT NUMBER 19."

I took another breath and flew out into the coliseum, where I was immediately cheered for by the crowd of pegasi.

I looked around and saw several pegasus shaped imprints in walls and pillars, what the hay happen here, and true to Ditzy's word I saw her sitting far behind the crowds of pegasi with a smile on her face.

Above her I saw my friends sitting in a balcony giving me encouragement, I also saw Arcana with her wing folded onto her sides.

I looked in front of my and saw that they had already set up my routine for me, wow that was fast.

My routine was a bunch of wispy clouds rearranged on top of another so it looked like a tall pillar.

I quickly flew above the pillar and looked down and started to fly down towards it aiming myself in the center of the pillar, while I was quickly gaining speed I made myself spin to the right.

I hit the cloud in front of me, and immediately my vision was filled with clouds, as soon as my vision was cleared of clouds I immediately pulled up and started to go to the left gaining speed I lost from the pull up.

I was going fast enough that it created a vacuum, almost like the one Dash did for the parasprites, which sucked in all the wisps of clouds in the air back into the center creating one giant dark storm cloud.

I flew to about five feet into the air and I close my wings making me drop on top of it, causing it to rain and shoot out lighting and thunder, which caused a lot of pegasi to duck and gasp out of surprise.

I took a bow, indicating that I was finished with my routine, which started up clapping and whistling.

I took another bow and left for the backstage.

As I made it inside I saw Dash with an approval look on her face and she said, "good job Star."

"Thanks, now knock them dead Dash, "I said encouraging her.

"NOW WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST, WELCOMING BACK LAST YEAR'S WINNER, NUMBER 20 MISS RAINBOW DASH."

At the mention of her name the crowd started cheering and howling, "well that's my cue, "and with that she started to run, she leaped and flew out of backstage.

I made my way back to the stands and got up to the balcony where my friends are.

"So, how did I do and how is the competition so far? "

"Your routine was very elegant, well until the last part, "Rarity said. "but there seems to be something wrong with this year's fliers."

"Ya, some of them went splat against walls and pillars, a few can't even fly, "Pinkie said.

"Well at least Dash will be able to win no problem, "I said.

"Don't count your apples yet, look, "Applejack said pointing to Dash.

We all looked and saw that something was wrong with Dash, for it seems she is having trouble flying, steering and getting her routine right.

Now, why does that seems familiar?

I looked around and saw the three pegasi from earlier with huge similes on their faces, and why are those three happy about this.

I looked back at Dash, the only time she flew this bad is when she was exposed to… uh oh, and then I remembered the smell on Dash, vanilla and the fragrance of, "Poison Joke."

Everypony looked at me confused, "what are you talking about? "Arcana said.

I quickly explained that on backstage everypony got lotions and it smelled like vanilla and Poison Joke.

"Then that means…"Arcana started to say then drifted off.

We all looked at Dash and saw something that nearly gave me a heart attack.

Dash was soaring straight into the air and was in the final stage of her sonic rainboom, when her wings snapped shut against her body.

I saw the look of shock in her eyes just before she was flung back, after she failed to complete it, straight to earth.

All the pegasi in the crowd gasped in shock and fright as they saw her going down to the ground.

I did what the first thought came to mind. I dived off the balcony I was on and flew straight down trying to catch up to her before she hit the ground, but I was a little late, for by the time I reached my maximum velocity, Dash was already at hers', so I wasn't able to gain more speed to catch her.

I need to go faster, and I felt myself going faster.

Come on, I flapped my wings harder gaining more speed and I saw that Dash was getting bigger as I was catching up to her.

Almost there, I was almost on top of her.

As I got up to her I quickly wrapped my forehooves (it's not what you think) around her and I saw that the ground was getting closer.

I need to warp, I thought as I pulled us up, but the ground was getting closer, I don't want any of my friends to get hurt.

I closed my eye and I felt my wings feeling lighter. I opened my eyes and I saw that Dash and I were encased in white light, there was a bright flash causing me to squint.

And then I felt my body tingle and there was a flash that completely blinded me.

Then I heard Dash said, "holy Celestia, that was awesome Star."

"Thanks."

Then I heard clapping and cheering, but I couldn't see, because I was still blind from the warp.

"I guess that we should land now."

I realized that I was still holding Dash, "oh ya right, but um, can you guide me?"

"Why?"

I quickly explained that I was blind from the warp.

She guided me as I drifted close to the cloud ground and let go of Dash and landed next to her.

"I guess that you're right about saying that phrase, but what the happened to me there."

I quickly explained how there was Poison Joke mixed in with the lotion that she got and how I noticed that she wasn't flying right which caused her lose control of her wings.

Then I heard Arcana next to me as she landed next to us and with what sound like a saddlebag filled with jars.

I heard her unclasp her bag and took something out her bag and heard something being smeared on something.

"Hay, what are doing and what is this stuff? "I heard Dash asked disgusted.

"It's Poison Joke cure paste, Zecora made it for me before we came here."

"Wait you carry a cure for Poison Joke with you, "I said in the direction I think I heard her voice come from.

"Ah, I'm over here Star, what's wrong with you?"

Dash quickly explained my blindness

"Oh I hope it is temporary, well it is in case we get exposed again, don't want to cause panic."

"Alright then."

"Now that was an extraordinary performance, "

I turned around and said, "who's there, who said that?"

I heard giggling and felt something being jammed into my side."

"What?"

"Star its Princess Celestia and Luna."

"Oh crap, so sorry your highness, "I said bowing.

I heard my giggling and heard Luna said, "ah Star we are over here."

"Sorry."

"What's wrong with him? "Celestia asked.

Arcana explained to her what Dash said to her which I said to her.

"I hope it is not permanent, "Luna said worried.

"I can fix it with my magic, "Celestia suggested.

"No, it's ok, my sight is coming back, "I said as I can now see blurry images, after a while my vision came back.

"Ok I think I should wear sunglasses from now on, don't want to be blind like that again, "I said with a smile.

We all laughed at that, after a while I asked, "so, what are you two doing here? Not that I am being rude or anything."

"Well we wanted to see if you two are ok."

Dash and I reassure her that we both were ok.

Celestia looked over and saw Arcana's gem wings and said with a smile, "Ah I see that you made yourself into an alicorns."

"Not on propose, I was in this contest and I never finished it, so it is stuck on me until the spell wears off, "Arcana quickly explained.

Luna was really intrigued at this and with visible curiosity she walked up to Arcana and said, "can I have a look at your wings. "

Arcana nodded in agreement and Luna's horn start to glow, after a while she said, "amazing, the spell that is in your wings are really complex, it is a mixture of our worlds magic and yours, and Tia are you suppose to do something right now?"

"Oh that's right, hold on, "Celestia turned her attention to the crowd and said in a booming voice, "THE VICTORY FOR THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION BELONGS TO MISTER STAR STREAK."

I felt my mouth drop at that as the rest of Dash's friend had finally joined us.

Princess Celestia put a crown, similar to the one that Dash won last year, on my head.

"And also the grand prize, "Luna added as the Wonderbolts landed before us.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh I can't believe it I won."

"Now we must say goodbye, but we hope to see all of you sometime soon, "Celestia said and with that both her and her sister disappeared in a flash.

One of the Wonderblots walked up to and said, "Hello I'm Spitfire captain of the Wonderblots, and let me tell you, what you did was amazing."

"Thanks, though I would like to spend the day with you and your team, but I think that Dash here would like to be with you more than me, "I said pointing to Dash.

Spitfire looked over at Dash and said, "the only pony that can do the sonic rainboom and is a biggest fan of us."

Dash was to speechless to talk so instead she nodded.

Dash looked at me and asked, "are you sure Star? I mean this is big thing you are giving up."

"Ya, I mean you are their biggest fan after all so enjoy yourself."

After a squeal of oh my gosh were made by Dash, she immediately dashed to the other Wonderblots and started to talk to them.

"Now that was really cool of you to give your prize to her, "Spitfire said.

She started to walk back to the other team members, but halfway there she turned to look back at me and asked, "oh by the way, what are you going to call that move of yours?"

I thought it over and after a while I came up with an answer, "Well since Dash can move at the speed of sound and me at light, I think I will call it... spectrum warp, although it does tend to leave me blind afterwards."

"Hum, how about this, "she took of her goggles and tossed them to me.

I caught them and said, "whoa what? Why?"

"Well since you gave your prize to Dash there I feel that you should at least get something in return, and that you said you get blind from that move, so I am giving that to you, and don't worry there are plenty of spare goggles for the Wonderbolts."

And with that she flew off, with the rest of the Wonderbolts and Dash following.

I heard ponies landing behind me and one of them clearing their voice and said, "Um Star."

I turned around and saw Dumb-bell, Score and Hoops there standing and feeling uncomfortable.

"Hold on ladies, I think that these three gents would like to talk to me, "I said to the others.

After we walked a distance from the rest, I said, "What is it?"

Hoops step forward and said, "um sorry about making fun of you earlier today Star Freak."

Dumb-Bell jabbed him in the ribs and said, "Streak."

"oh sorry Star Streak."

"That ok, but if you do something like again, I'll make sure that Dash is going to know about who are responsible for this mess."

They looked at each other in shocked and looked back at me.

"Oh I know all about the Poison Joke."

"How? "Hoops asked.

"It wasn't that hard to figure it out, and I bet Dash is not going to really happy if she finds out that it was you three that ruined her sonic rainboom performance, got it, "I finished with a smile.

They all nodded and flew away

I walked back to other and Arcana asked me, "What did they want to talk to you about?"

"Oh nothing, this is really the best day ever, "I said into the air, causing everypony to start laughing.
