Sugarcube Corner...
Jordan had just arrived back at Sugarcube Corner with a fainted Rainbow Dash. He went inside, and placed her on the couch. Pinkie was standing in the kitchen, alongside Fluttershy.
"Welcome back, Jordy-pie!" She called out. Jordan smiled, and Fluttershy turned toward Rainbow, a look of worry now set on her face.
"Oh...my, what happened to rainbow?" Fluttershy asked, worried about her friend. Jordan smiled a bit.
"Oh, she just fainted at the sight of the Wonderbolts. They invited me to hang out with them sometime." Jordan responded. Fluttershy just looked at him like he was crazy.
"Let me prove it to you." Jordan pulled out an envelope containing two VIP tickets to the Wonderbolts' show later that day. Fluttershy glanced at them, and then back to Jordan.
"Oh...that's wonderful." she stated meekly. Jordan smiled, and stroked her mane. She immediately went red in the face. Rainbow Dash started coming to.
"Wha- I just had a wonderful dream!" Rainbow shouted out bursting into the air, just inches from the ceiling. She came back down next to Jordan.
"...and you were in it Jordan and-" She cut herself off when she saw what Jordan had in his hoof. She instantly gasped in a fangirl kind of tone. "TWO TICKETS TO THE WONDERBOLTS' SHOW?!!"
Jordan smiled. "Not just any tickets, RD, these are backstage VIP tickets." Hearing this made Rainbow nearly faint again, but she held strong.
"B-but how-" She was cut off by Jordan.
"I got these while I brought you here. A wall-eyed pegasus brought them to me mid-flight. The envelope's return adress said 'Wonderbolts' on it, so I figured it was important." Jordan added. Rainbow smiled a fangirl smile from ear to ear.
"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go!!!!" Rainbow yelled, bursting through the door. Jordan followed suit, trying to keep up. Pinkie Pie bounded out of the bakery and waved goodbye. She headed back inside and closed the door.
Rainbow Dash was so excited, that she did not care about anything other than seeing her idols. Jordan finally managed to catch up to her.
"Rainbow! Do you even know where you're going?" He yelled, trying to get her attention. She then went wide eyed, blushed, and halted suddenly, leaving Jordan going full speed ahead into a tree. He fell back to the ground with a thud.
"Ow...that's smarts." He groaned, Rainbow flying to him. She helped him up, and blushed about what he said.
"Heh, I guess I don't know." She told him.
"The location is on the tickets. Do you know where 'Canterlot' is by any chance?" Jordan asked her. Rainbow beamed.
"I'll take us there in ten seconds flat!" She then somehow managed to grab Jordan's foreleg, and they went flying at near the speed of sound to canterlot. In exactly ten seconds, they were in the city.
"What'd I tell ya? Ten. Seconds. Flat." Rainbow boasted. Jordan then gave her a slight smile, but then looked at the time on the tickets, and the current time.
"Rainbow, we got here a bit too early, or should I say, an hour early." Jordan stated. Rainbow blushed, and looked down. Jordan reassured her. "It's okay, Rainbow. You didn't know what time the performance would be. It's not your fault." At this, Rainbow Dash looked back up at him, and smiled. "So, do you want to look around the city?" Jordan offered. Rainbow smiled.
"I think I would enjoy it very much." She replied.
55 minutes later...
Jordan and Rainbow had just returned from exploring the city, and going shopping. Since Jordan didn't have any bits on him, Rainbow Dash paid for them both. She treated him to a nice dinner, and she also got hats for them to wear. After that, they just wandered the city. Jordan looked at the time.
"5 minutes Rainbow." Jordan told her with a smile. Rainbow smiled back.
"Worth the wait." she replied.
They held hooves under the rising moon for the next 2 minutes, before heading to the show.
They arrived at the back entrance to the show. They walked up to the guard that was there, but he halted them.
"Stop right there. You need passes to enter." he asked in a muscular tone. Jordan showed him the two passes. He glanced at them, looking for signs of forgery. When he finally gave up, he told them "have a nice time" and opened the door. They walked in.
"I...can't...believe...I'm actually here!" Rainbow said squealing like a fangirl again. They went to the viewing platform to watch the show. They sat down and looked out the window.
The Wonderbolts were doing all sorts of stunts. They performed loops, certain stunts that a Blue Angel on Earth was prohibited to do, and several group stunts. Rainbow just watched in awe, and so did he, looking at the lightning trails they left as well. For the grand finale, they flew at each other in crossing paths, and created a giant sparkle that glittered in the night. The crowd went crazy out there, but Jordan and Rainbow just looked on. Rainbow looked at Jordan with a glad smile.
"I am so happy you came here Jordan..." With that, she trotted up to him, and kissed him. Jordan didn't take notice at this until he felt her lips come in contact with his. His brain took a moment to register what was happening, and as fast as it happened, she backed up, leaving him stunned. "I'm having a wonderful time." She told him, sitting back down on her chair. Just then, the stage door opened. Jordan shook his head, and looked, along with Rainbow. Spitfire walked in.
"Hey, I knew you'd make it. Follow me to the field out back, if you wouldn't mind?" Jordan and Rainbow agreed, and followed. They went out a set of doors, and came upon a training field. "so, would you two mind showing off your moves for us?" Soarin' and Fleetfoot entered the room shortly after she finished her sentence.
Jordan was about to answer, but Rainbow was as quick as a wink. "Yes, yes we would!" she announced. Spitfire smiled at her eagerness, and the three Wonderbolts were off to the judging table.
Spitfire turned on the intercom. "Jordan, are you ready to show yourself off?" Jordan nodded, and began his performance. Surprisingly, he did very well. He managed to pull off some flips and spins, even recover from unnoticably losing balance, and for his finisher, he tried what he called the "Sonic Redboom". He went high into the air, and shot down like a bullet. A red cone formed around him, and in a red flash, he was shooting down like a rocket. He pulled up in time to avoid hitting the cloud. Rainbow smiled and the Wonderbolts were looking impressed by his performance. He then landed after an entire backflip at his supersonic speed.
The intercom started up again. "Jordan, here are our scores." He looked up at the judging table, and the signs they held up were:
10/9/10
His eyes went wide. He then cheered for himself, and went back onto the fluffy ground, letting Rainbow get a turn.
"Ready Rainbow Dash?" Spitfire announced. Rainbow nodded, and Spitfire counted down.On zero, Rainbow went shooting off. She pulled off amazing flips, spins, and other tricks that were prohibited on Earth. She then performed her signature move, the Sonic Rainboom. She flew up to the same height Jordan flew up to, and went flying down at a ninety degree angle. A rainbow-hued cone formed around her, and in a burst of colors, she was rocketing downward. She changed her direction from vertical to horizontal instantly, and came straight for me. She grabbed me, and held me close, did a backflip, and finally landed. The Wonderbolts just gawked. "Rainbow Dash, here is your score." She looked up to the table and saw:
10/10/9
She cheered for herself, and trotted back next to me. Spitfire, Soarin', and Fleetfoot came back down to where Rainbow and Jordan were. They were pleased with their performance.
"Well, you two showed excellent performance. What do you think Soarin'?" Spitfire asked Soarin'.
"They were awesome!! What do you think, Fleetfoot?" Soarin asked the third member.
"They were good, I'll give them that." Fleetfoot said, smiling at them. Rainbow turned back to Jordan, and they brohoofed. Turning back to Spitfire, she had one more thing to add, in the form of two badges.
"You two, Rainbow Dash and Jordan, are now honorary Wonderbolts!" She announced, house lights turning more on, revealing a humongous crowd. Jordan and Rainbow just looked around at the cheering crowd. They then turned to each other, and smiled to each other. They turned back to Spitfire, and recieved the badges. Rainbow flew up and shouted out "This really is the best day ever!" Jordan flew up with her.
"It sure is Rainbow. It sure is." Jordan replied.
After the afterparty...
Jordan and Rainbow waved goodbye to the Wonderbolts, as they headed back to Ponyville. Jordan had a sort of down look on his face. Rainbow took notice.
"Jordan, what's wrong?" She asked him. He looked back up to her.
"Oh nothing really, except I wish my parents could have seen that." Jordan stated. She nuzzled him to make him feel better.
Jordan then felt odd. They saw a flash, and Jordan looked down at his leg. There was a mark of a set of wings on his thigh. Rainbow smiled.
"Looks like you finally earned a cutie mark Jordan." Rainbow mused, while Jordan started to tear up from happiness.
They arrived in Cloudsdale, and Rainbow showed Jordan her house. It was basically a cloud-themed Mount Olympus. Rainbow told him "make yourself at home. You can sleep over here if you want." She fell into bed and drifted to sleep. Jordan then looked for any place to sleep. There were many possibilities on a cloud after all. Then he sighed. 'Aww to heck with it' he thought and trotted up to Rainbow's bed. He got in, pulled his side's covers over him, and he fell asleep.
