Broken Bones And A Broken Rainbow

by Deci_Belle


Lights! Camera! Boom!

The cuddling pegasus couple woke up to Spitfire knocking on the door. "Wake up! Dash! Soar! Movin' out to show in less than an hour! Hurry up!" Rainbow burst out of bed, quickly zooming into the shower and starting the water, still yawning. Soarin opened the closet and pulled out his yellow and blue Wonderbolt's jumpsuit and dressed and got all gussied up for the show, Dash burst out of the shower with a few bubbles on her tail, she then managed to slide into a suit. The two of them rushed out the door practically on top of each other from falling, Spitfire and Fleetfoot hovered in front of them, trying not to die laughing. "Gosh! We love it when you guy's are in a hurry! You always end up toppling in front of each other and it's hilarious!" Fleetfoot managed between giggles.
"Y-yeah! It's funniest when you guys are rushed after staying up late and playi-"
"Alright! Alright! We know!" Soarin cut off Spitfire before she could finish the dirty sentence, him and Dash picked themselves up off the floor and raised their hooves up to their foreheads in salute, Fleetfoot did the same next to them.
"Showtime in 30! We're gonna go out there and give the audience the best damn show they've ever seen right?!" Spitfire instantly went into her drill sergeant mode.
"Yes Ma'm!" The three other Wonderbolt's answered at the same time.
"Dash! You make sure that rainboom is the best damn one you'll ever make! You got it?!" Spitfire screamed.
"YES MA'M! WILL DO MA'M!" Rainbow Dash yelled back.
"Soarin! How's that new trick coming along?!" Spitfire's voice softened a bit.
"It's perfected and ready for show Ma'm!" Soarin said in response.
"Wha? A new trick? How come I don't know about it?" Rainbow Dash questioned, slightly confused.
"It's a trick dedicated to you Dashie, our inspiration from you went into it." Soarin winked, comforting his marefriend.
"ALRIGHT! SHOWTIME IN 10! EVERYPONY GET OUT THERE AND READY UP! WE'LL MAKE THIS SHOW GREAT OR DIE TRYIN'!" Spitfire ordered. The team blasted out into the open sky stadium, warming up their bodies with practice laps. Fans poured into the stadium sitting in their seats with popcorn and drinks. Small fillies went down to the bottom row, waving up at Dash, Soarin and FleetFoot. Spitfire blew her whistle, making the team come down to the ground and get into their show positions. "FLY!" Spitfire commanded.
The team zoomed off, Dash in the middle as Soarin and Fleetfoot flew to terrifying heights by her sides.
"READY FLEET?! READY SOAR?!" Rainbow screamed, trying to make her voice louder than the wind blowing in their ears. The two other's nodded in response. "GO!" They tucked in their wings and began free fall, face toward the ground. Soarin and Fleetfoot began separating from Dash's sides, moving farther and farther away as they plummeted closer and closer to the land.Dash put her forelegs to her sides and felt her lungs burn, her head pound, her muscles feel like they were all about to be torn. Her eyes flashed and filled with tears as she broke the sound barrier and the circular rainbow blast exploded from her streamlined body. At the final second before hitting the ground, she snapped her wings out and pulled back up into the rainbow filled sky.
Rainbow looked up to see Fleetfoot and Soarin still high up above, hovering a few thousand feet in the air, they nodded to each other and dove down, wings plastered to their sides. They whipped their bodies around and flew away from each other, still at top speed, as soon as they were about a hundred yards apart, they snapped their bodies around once again. They free fell diagonally to each other, just as they passed one another, their wings shot out, making a giant cloud of thunder and lightning, loud booms filled the energy rich atmosphere and a spark of lightning formed Dash's cutie mark as she looked up with sparkling eyes. Soarin bursted through the sparks and they shattered into shards of radiant rainbow glass, before the shards hit the ground they evaporated into the air. The crowd screamed and cheered as Soarin and Fleetfoot landed next to Rainbow's side.
"Y-you planned this for me?" Dash looked at them with happy, teary eyes.
"Anything for my lovely Dashie...we love you being a part of our team..." Soarin said softly, kissing Dash's cheek. Spitfire trotted over to them.
"Well done team. Well done. You guys truly are and will always be the best Wonderbolt material in Equestria. And you Dash...Always stay in the team, it won't be the same without you." Spitfire finished the sweet sentence by saluting Rainbow Dash and then saying, "Thank you. Best flyer." She hugged Dash as a familiar body stood in the stands, sneering at the team as her light turquoise coat became hot with hatred and her golden eyes stayed affixed on the pony with the brilliant rainbow mane.
