//------------------------------// // The WonderBolts Free For All // Story: You're gonna go far, kid // by Navy Shadow //------------------------------// It was a quiet day over in Ponyville, Equestria's earth pony town. there was hardly a soul on the streets, it was creepy seeing the place like this, ususally it was was so bright and busy. but the main reason Ponyville is so quiet and deserted is the big wonderbolts "Free for All" annual flight show they put on for free in Manehatten every year. but in Ponyville's silence, if one were to listen closely, there was a crashing sound coming from a far off cloud. At Rainbow Dash's hand carved cloud house made specifically for pegasi only there was a bit of an unrest, through the windows you could see a small rainbow blur pass by every so often, This could only mean one thing, the Pegasus known only as Rainbow Dash was home, but why was she away from a wonderbolts show, especially a free one, in MANEHATTEN! Fluttershy, who was too busy taking care of her animals to even give a thought about the wonderbolts (as she wasnt a great flyer herself) heard the commotion coming from dash's house, she decided to go and see if she was alright. Fluttershy flew up to the cluster of clouds that make up rainbow dash's front enterance and knocked on the cloud door, which suprisingly, let out a wooden like bang on each hit. "Erm, Rainbow d-dash are you here?" Fluttershy mentally cursed herself for bring an idiot, of course she was in there... Soon the front door opened and there stood rainbow dash, Rainbow's Light blue mane was a shade of grey as she answered the door, and her hair didnt look to good either, there was colour overlapping other colours "Good job rarity isn't a pegasus", Dash thought to herself as she welcomed fluttershy and saw her mane in the mirror next to her door. "Erm, Hello Rainbow i hope you dont mind me intruding" "Of course not, your one of my very best friends" "Well i heard the commotion coming from your house, and the animals were getting nervous so i decided to come help with whatever your doing" "Im looking for my wonderbolts costume for the big show tomorrow, And by the way i dont know if you've noticed but the town seems awfully quiet today" "erm t-tomorrow?" "yes Flutters, Tomorrow, the annual "Wonderbolts Free for All" held in manehatten on the 25th of July every year without fail!" "Well, you see dash. erm, today is the 25th" Fluttershy cowered back slowly as she knew what was coming after that news "T-T-TODAY. oh god what time is it, do i have time to get there, wheres my ticket omygodomygod WHY DID I THINK IT WAS TOMORROW" "its okay r-r-Rainbow dash, theres always next year" "But fluttershy you dont understand, they were about to pull off a copy of my trick called the the sonic lightningboom and i was to be their guest of honor, and now i wont see it and will never get a chance to be in the wonderbolts, MY LIFE IS RUINEDDDDD" "Oh its Okay Rainbow, dont cry, please." "Im going to bed, goodnight" "but its onl-" She was cut off by the slam of a cloud in her face, which. seeing as it was a cloud didnt hurt at all, her snout just ended up at the other side of the door, which when she took it out the cloud just reformed in an instant. "Oh Well" Fluttershy said, flying back to her cottage, "she'll come around"
