Rainbow being the typical fan mare she was of the bolts was already in dream mode thinking about all the adventures they would have touring all over Equestria and wasn’t able to notice spitfire coming up to her holding another outfit in her hooves. In fact it was Applejack who had to snap her out or it. “I,, er,, uhmm, thanks AJ” Dash said still trying to hold on to the daydream she had just had. “Y,,,, YOU,, YOU WANT ME TO BE A WONDERBOLT!!?” She asked in a rather loud tone. She didn’t mean to but in her excitement it just kind of happened. Spitfire simply said to her “uhhhmm yeh silly filly” Dash looked confused at this, “Why do you look so dumbfounded Dash” Asked spitfire. Dash was going to say something when Spitfire got to it first “well of course we want you as a Wonder Bolt I mean you did save our lives remember” Dash thought back to that day. The day that Rarity had flown too close to the sun with the wings she had gotten from a spell of Twilights, and how even though in practice everything had gone correctly for her. During the show she literally was a rainbow crash proving it time and time again throughout the day. Until realizing that her friend was in trouble and was falling. She climbed high into the air and dove straight down creating not only the second Sonic Rain Boom in history but saving Rarity and the bolts. “Oh yeh that” Dash said.
Soarin chimed in too “uhm uh don’t forget you saved my pie at the gala” he chuckled and went back to ask Applejack for a pie. Spitfire then proceeded to tell dash the whole thing that had gone on between the bolts and how when the time was right they would surprise her with her very own Wonder Bolts outfit and a spot in the group. Telling her that they kept waiting for the right time but it never presented itself and how they had all but given up hope on her after the whole hero thing went to her head.
Spitfire said “but despite all that, and being high strung, and full of yourself at times. Today is the right day. You proved just why you represent the element of loyalty. Not only did you show loyalty to a friend but you got the entire town of Ponyville to show it as well that was truly loyal” “So you put this whole thing together in the span of a week Dash” Spitfire asked. “Maybe a bit longer than that” Dash said, “but I know Derpy and I often see her come out here and just sit and think.
She cries a lot and it makes me upset that though always willing to help any pony out despite her limitations she is always there for every pony, so I thought I would do something nice for her. It was originally supposed to be a small get together but I opened my mouth to Pinkie and well, you know Pinkie she’s not satisfied unless every pony is happy. So I just let her work her Pinkie magic. The air show was an improvisation as well I thought it would be a great opportunity for Derpy to be able to feel free and let her mane down a bit. When I looked over and saw how much fun she was having I whispered in her ear how about we give these friends of ours a show? To which she replied why not? I’m having a blast let’s do it. The Sonic Rain Boom and Bubble Blast, especially the Bubble Blast were the icing on the cake” Needless to say at the word cake Pinkie was right there with Dash, Derpy, and the bolts, with a huge frown on her face. “I thought you said cake” said Pinkie looking all over the place for the said cake. “I did Dash said, but not that kind of cake” Pinkie laughed and looked for the table set up by the cakes. With that Pinkie was gone leaving the bolts, Dash, and Derpy to finally talk.
Dash thought long and hard about the choice she was about to make. Holding Derpys hoof Rainbow Dash did the hardest thing she would ever have to do in her life and handed Spitfire the outfit back. “I,,, I can’t” she turned to walk away but Derpy still had her hoof. “It is what I have always wanted and dreamed of all my life but I can’t desert my friends I just can’t” Spitfire who was tearing up at this handed Dash back the outfit. Spitfire looked at the blue Pegasus and said, “Look Dash I know you often are high strung, competitive natured, and sometimes so full of yourself that you just can’t see what’s going on around you, but you know what? We all are at times even me when I get done with an amazing show or do something new for all to see I am sometimes just like you. It’s not a bad thing to be competitive, high strung, and full of yourself, its pony nature but it’s how we deal with those times that makes us who we really are”
Dash looked at Spitfire tears welling up in her eyes then to Derpy who was already bawling her eyes out hugging Dinky and just lost it. It was an amazing moment for every pony to see, the Wonder Bolts, Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Dinky all hugging and crying together. So much so that Pinkie started to cry too “ITS BEAUTIFUL!!” She said sobbing.
After what seemed like an eternity the embrace came to an abrupt and sudden end with the wiping of moist eyes and a huge smile on all the Pegasus ponies faces “LETS DO IT!” Every pony was surprised by this, “do what” They all asked inquisitively. Spitfire then called the Mayor over to the group and whispered something in her ear. The Mayor took off in a flash and was back with a microphone. “FILLIES, AND GENTLECOLTS, THE WONDERBOLTS HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT!!!” With that the bolts took center field.
Spitfire's announcement sent a huge roar of applause from the gathered ponies. “TODAY WE TAKE IN 2 NEW MEMBERS OF THE WONDERBOLTS, RAINBOWDASH, AND DERPY HOOVES, AFTER TALKING TO THEM THEY HAVE AGREED WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL A FREE SHOW RIGHT NOW” With that all the Pegasi lifted into the air and put on one of the greatest shows any pony old or young had ever seen, with the end of the show featuring Derpy doing the Bubble Blast.
