//------------------------------// // 1 // Story: Spitfire Wonderbolt Tale. // by ShyM //------------------------------// The flame haired mare, Orange red coat mare tweeted her whistle furiously, with that sound all of the stallions and mares flew down from the sky and stoped down on the pathway infront of her, raising an eyebrow she trotted foward to the pathway after the last few pegasus stopped. "Face attended!" the flamed hair mare shouted to the scouts of Wonderbolt Academy, as she watched the pony`s wince from her voice and turned harshly to face her with a blank stare in their eyes. She went to the end of the horizontal line of pegasus pony`s that stood on the flyway and started to walk down infront of that line, any of the scouts probably couldnt see her eyes since they were hidden behind her dark purple shades, but behind them were a expression of irritation. "Do you bunch of rookies now how long it took you give me those thirty laps?" she asked continuing to walk down the lane with an eyebrow raised not even looking at anypony, soon the suprisingly turn to face one, "Well?!" the mare demanded an anwser to a blue and white mane mare and a cutie mark that looked a star that looked like a shooting star. "N-no Spitfire.." the mare answered and the flamed hair mare who was known as Spitfire took off her glassed and got in the other mares face, "Did you just call me by my name during training?" Spitfire growled and put the whistle back into her mouth and blew it and spat it out so it would dangle around her neck again. "Its yes ma`am! Now give me 5 more laps!" Spitfire ordered and the other mare took off around the area, the commander Spitfire looked at the rest of the wonderbolt scouts and spoke loud, "It took you more than 15 to give me those laps, now if I asked for 200 then more than 15 would be better but other than that, no!" Spitfire sighed to herself looking down to place a hoof to her forhead then look back up at to the bunch of pegasus and her eyes widened to notice one was missing, "Where is Rainbow Dash?!" she yelled in question and every one winced and all looked down, "Well uh... I heard that she has had no reason to show up." a scout mare said, this made Spitfire furious and blow her whistle, "Everyone thats enough for today, get out of my sight." with that command everypony zoomed away. Later that day she sat at her desk with ehr hooves put together starring at her office door, soon to watch it creek open and a rainbow colored mane mare walked through the door with a regretful look on her,"Take a seat Dash." Spitfire stated and Rainbowdash did exactly that. "You er wanted to see me?.." Rainbow asked lightly and Spitfire took off her glasses, sat them down on her desk with her eyes closed keeping the silence for a moment. "So you think your hot stuff huh?" she asked with her eyes still closed not wanting to open them yet, "No Ma`am, why would you ask me that?" Rainbowdash responded, "Dont play stupid Dash, you skipped out on training today I almost didnt notice" Silence was shared between both of the mares in the room. "Aparently you didnt have a reason eh, you think you know all about being a Wonderbolt dont you?" "Well I didnt say that, I mean come on you see what I can do right?! Im amazing no other pony can keep up with me." Rainbowdash responded with a pout in her voice. "True but that doesnt mean you are better than them, they are not inferior to you and you are not superior!" Spitfire stated. "Why are you always this way, why cant you ever be you know.. Relaxed." Rainbowdash whispered looking down to the ground, "I mean come on, you see me pushing my self to great lengths every day always in first to finish my laps, push-ups everything and your getting mad over one little day of me not training?" Rainbow looked up at her commander and frowned, "Im pretty sure you use to be a Wonderbolt scout yourself am I right?" Spitfire smirked and finally opened her orange hues to look at the scout, "You know something kid, you remind me of alot like.. well me when I was a scout." she stated and got out her chair and trotted around to Rainbow and smirked, "I didnt go to alot of training sessions you know why?" she asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile, "Um no?" Rainbow said kinda scared now. "I was really fast back in my training days, I was usually first one to complete my laps and other things somtimes not, when either Soarin,Blaze or Misty might have finished but thats beside the point." she sighed closing her eyes again, "You really wanna know why im not relaxed or chill or why i act this way to you all, well ill tell you a little story Dash." the firey maned mare opened her eyes again to look Rainbow in hers with her smirk back. "My story.." __________________________ The final lap was at place, this final full circle and I was inches ahead but not far from Soarin, Blaze and Misty and the problem was that Soarin was right on my tail, litteraly. 'Oh no you dont, im winning this time Soarin.' she thought to herself and closed her eyes tight seeing the finish line a few more inches away and Soarin was neck to neck with her, almost there, Im gonna Wi-, "You know your really cute when your serious." Soarin whisped close as he flew next to me and i felt myself slow down at those words with a blush spreading across my face. Soarin finished his 200 laps first then Misty and Blaze zoomed past to finish theres also, causing me to finish last (Between that group.) Panting heavily looking down to the fly lane, sweat dripping down from her mane, trying to catch her breath, Soarin Galloping near and leaning his head down next to hers, "Aw that was a good try." Soarin said and kissed her cheek which made spittfire blush more, "Damn you Soarin, you know that last lap was mine." she said with a pout, "A good Wonderbolt on a mission doesnt get distracted by little compliments, even if it was the truth." Spitfire looked up at him and he winked and trotted away. 'Did he Just say.. he must be playing with me, yeah thats it.' she thought to herself but her inner thought was soon broken by a loud whistle, "Firespit, I said called for Face Attention, what are you doing?!" the commander yelled to her and she looked behind her with a little frown, "S-sorry." even though Firespit wasnt her name she wouldnt dare challange that Mare. "Well.. Im very proud of you ponies, for completing this challenge like it was nothing." the commander said with a smile looking at all of us, "You should all be gratefull for what im about to say, you all can take the rest of the day off if you wish." Everypony cheered at that sentence and some who were friends got together and walked away guessing talking about their plans for the night, I did that too and got with Misty as we walked away to get these sweaty outfits off and before then came Blaze and Soarin laughing until they got next to us, "Im so ready for tonight." I said and Blaze and the other agreed I heard the commanders voice. "Firespit hang on a moment." she said and I winced, Soarin, Blaze and Misty stopped and gave me worried looks and i smiled at them with a kind of 'Go on ahead,ill be okay', look and they nodded and continued on and I turned around to face the commander. Once everypony was out of sight she trotted over to her commander and looked up at the tall pegasus, her orange mane whistled through the air; her dark purple shades were off, her bright orange hues stared down at her wich made her feel small. "You know Firespit, I not entertained at what jus happened at the last lap." the commander raised an eyebrow at me, "Mind explaining to me what happened?" she asked an I gulped and looked down, "Well I-" "Didnt your mother teach you to keep eye contact when your talking with someone?" she asked, Looking up with a pout I sighed, "Well I kinda...got distracted Ma`am.." I said softly and I heard the commanders hoof stomp the ground, "Distracted? Distracted?!" she said with a laugh, "Do you know what distracted gets you in Equestria Firespit?!" she asked demandely, "M-my name is Spitfire..." I said lowly looking down again and I heard her snort, "You telling me what to call you now Firespit? Your pretty determined to make sure to get your name right, to bad you werent that determined on that last lap, distracted my flank!" Closing my eyes tightly shut feeling my self about to shed tears, I held them back looked up at her with a harsh stare and she returned the same kind back at me, "Thats determination in your eyes, I like it, now use that and give me one more wide lap around and you can leave, now!" the commander yelled and I growled and zoomed off around the area to complete my lap as fast as I could. I was suppose to meet Soarin and the others at restaurant but I was in no mood so I zoomed on home, slammed my door closed and climbed into my bed, placing my head into my pillow and screamed into it, letting tears fall from my eyes, down my muzzle onto the pillow. I kept that up until the point I cried myself to sleep.
