Wonderbolts manager found dead below Cloudsdale Cloud Docks.
Sunny Skies, manager of the Wonderbolts, was found dead below the Cloudsdale Cloud Docks last night around two hours after the last show of former Wonderbolt Spitfire. According to Miss Spitfire, she was foalnapped by hit stallions under the employment of Mr Skies. She was accompanied by her marefriend, Rainbow Dash, and Miss Dash's filly, Scootaloo.
"The flank hole was all pissed Spitfire quit," said Rainbow Dash as she was questioned by the press outside Cloudsdale Police Station, "The little sh** threatened to drop Scoots from the docks."
It is reported that Miss Scootaloo was indeed dropped from the docks. As a result, Spitfire took action and tackled Skies off of the pier. This fight downwards ended with Skies receiving a broken wing from Spitfire defending herself from his hits and the stallion falling to his death. Meanwhile, Spitfire was able to save Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash, the latter being tied and thrown off shortly after Spitfire and Skies fell.
"We were able to locate the two hit stallions Spitfire was able to describe. One committed suicide before we got to him while the other injured two police ponies before being restrained," said Captain Bright Shield of the Cloudsdale Police Force, "We are trying this stallion for foal napping and attempted murder. We will make sure he doesn't have the chance to try this again."
Spitfire, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo Dash were diagnosed with minor injuries while Scootaloo may need therapy later on in her life. The three were released after small questioning.
Equestria Daily will have more on this story as more news is available.
Celestia set down the newspaper onto the small side table next to her throne. She looked back down at the two pegasi in front of her throne. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire, each looking deathly nervous as to why they were asked audience with the Princess. Celestia sighed.
"I hope you both understand the rumors this puts onto both the Wonderbolts and the Elements of Harmony," said the princess as she massaged her temple with a hoof while keeping her gaze on the two.
"Nobles are wanting the Elements stripped of their noble ranks due to the thinking that each are reckless and homicidal. They are also asking me to either put each Wonderbolt and Wonderbolt staff member under strict questioning, or remove the Wonderbolts completely. There is also talks of you losing Scootaloo due to beliefs that you are unfit to mother her, Rainbow Dash," The cyan Pegasus flinched, her wings fluttering in annoyance.
"In the public eye, you did the right thing. You stopped a corrupted pony with high connections from getting his money through murder and blackmail. You helped bring in a notorious hit stallion that's been on the run for years. But sadly, it's not the public view that these decisions are based off.
"Corruption spreads as far as the nobles in today's society, this disappoints me to no end. These ponies have power. Power to make another ponies life a living hell and all they have to do is sign their name on a check. To them, you are a threat to money production that we get from the Wonderbolts. They also fear you. Fear that they might be discovered themselves for their own dark crimes, and some, such as my own nephew, just want to see you and other ponies squirm," said the princess, frowning.
"Then what do we do, Princess? I don't want the Wonderbolts to be punished for this, nor the Elements, and Scootaloo can't take losing her mother again, nor can I." Asked Dash, worried. Celestia thought it over.
"We fight off their corruption. We put out as many points we can to overrule noble vote with both public vote and the vote of the Princesses. Both Luna and I are glad you two are together. I also must congratulate you, Spitfire, for a finale many will remember for years to come," said Celestia, smiling. Spitfire smiled back and nodded.
"So we just have to sit back and hope this all blows over?" Asked Spitfire, her smile falling back to a frown. Celestia nodded.
"I'm afraid so. If their was another way, I would tell you. Now go. Your daughter waits outside and you might all want to head home after a very eventful few days," said Celestia, smiling as she stood. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire bowed and turned towards the doors.
"Do you think they will try to take Scoots?" Asked Spitfire as they walked out of the throne room.
"Try. They will have to get passed a pissed and protective mother first," said Dash with a smirk. Spitfire laughed and pecked her cheek. There was a gagging sound and they looked to see Scootaloo phantomining shoving a hoof down her throat. Dash narrowed her eyes at the filly.
"So that's how you want to play it? Alright." Dash gave out a war cry as she leapt forward, tackling the filly in a barrage of tickles. Scootaloo bursted out in laughter at the tickle onslaught, causing Spitfire to giggle at the sight of the two.
"Alright, you two, let's head to the train station so we can make the Ponyville train." said Spitfire, shaking her head. Scootaloo climbed onto her mothers back and the three of them made their way out of the castle.
"So, how do you think the others will take it? The other Elements didn't know when I left and not only did you announce I was yours with a Sonic Fireboom and a kiss, we just damn near died a few days ago," said Dash. Spitfire shrugged.
"I don't know. Applejack might already know considering she is Soarin's marefriend. As for the others, I don't know. As for reactions, we should be received well but smothered and questioned beyond belief," said the fiery maned mare.
The train station soon came into view, the various trains and ponies standing out in the slow wake of the morning. The train that sat on the platform their tickets indicated that they still had time till the train made its journey to Ponyville.
"Mom, why are we taking the train home when we can just fly?" Asked the orange filly on Dash's back.
"Multiple reasons. One being we threw out Spitfire's wings when she carried us back to Cloudsdale. Then there is the fact that we want the time to prepare for whatever is going to greet us when we get there," said Dash, looking over her shoulder at the filly. Scootaloo made an 'o' shape with her mouth and nodded with a bright grin. Rainbow smiled and returned her focus to the road ahead.
"You ready for this?" She asked, turning to Spitfire. The Pegasus mare nodded.
"About as ready as I will ever be. This is going to be an interesting few days."
~~~~~Ponyville Train Station~~~~~
"Okay, just remember that Pinkie will attempt to tackle you into a hug. You should be fine as long as you are prepared for that," said Rainbow Dash as the train station pulled into Ponyville. Spitfire rolled her eyes as she stood.
"Dash, I can handle myself, thank you very much," said the orange mare, sticking her tongue out. Scootaloo and Rainbow gave each other worried glances as Spitfire stepped off of the train and onto the platform without incident.
"See? Nothing." said Spitfire with a grin.
"One," deadpanned the mother and daughter. Spitfire raised an eyebrow.
"Two."
"What are you two doing?"
"Three," Directly on cue, a pink blur tackled the orange Pegasus, knocking the wind out of her as the two tumbled down the platform. Rainbow and Scoots hoof bumped before stepping safely off the train.
"How long do you think it will be until she feels safe to step outside?" Asked Rainbow, smirking at the filly. Scootaloo looked over at Spitfire who was trying to remove the pink mare from her chest. Pinkie, however, refused and rambled off greetings and who knows what else.
"Maybe a few days," said the filly. Dash chuckled and turned to see the rest of her friend walking up to her.
"Good ta see y'all are all cheery after what happened," said AJ as they approached. The group shared a hug, Scootaloo jumping down and tackling the other two members in a death grip.
"I've had some good company to help get me through. Though, I think Pinkie just might suffocate her," said Dash, looking over at her marefriend as she tried to get the pink mare off of her.
"Pinkie, I think Spitfire would appreciate it if you got off her," said Twilight with a giggle. The pink mare hopped off of Spitfire with a smile and bounced over to the group, leaving the former Wonderbolt to try and fill her lungs again.
"I...can breathe!" Announced Spitfire, standing shakily. Rainbow bursted out in laughter.
"Oh Luna that was hilarious!" Said the cyan mare. Spitfire huffed and punched her arm.
"Oh hush, or do I have to remind you of how I had to remove you from the stands last show because you were pretty much glued to the your seat with a goofy grin on your face?" Asked Spitfire with a smirk. Rainbow blushed and looked away.
"I have no clue what you are talking about," said the cyan Pegasus. Spitfire giggled.
"You know. The fact that it was broadcasted live made that much sweeter," said Spitfire, grinning now. Rainbow turned a red enough crimson that she could match Big Mac.
"You are not going to let me live that down, are you?" She asked. Spitfire grinned and shook her head. Rainbow Dash sighed in defeat.
"Yup. I'm going to hide in my room from now on," said the mare. Spitfire pouted.
"Are you embarrassed about being my marefriend, Dashie? I thought you loved me," said Spitfire, pulling off the biggest puppy dog eyes she could muster. Dash stared at her for a moment before leaping at the mare.
Spitfire yelped as a set of cyan lips pressed against her while she was tackled to the ground. The two rolled to a stop, Dash gaining dominance as she kept her lips locked on Spitfire's. She held the position for a moment before standing, grinning.
"Who is the one frozen in place with a goofy grin?" She asked. It took Spitfire a moment to understand what she said. When she did, she blushed deeply at the comment.
"Oh shut up and help me off the ground," said the orange mare. Dash laughed and held out a hoof. Spitfire grabbed a hold and yanked her down for a kiss, holding it for a second before using Dash to get up.
"Danke, dear," said Spitfire, walking past the cyan mare towards the group of giggling mares. Rainbow Dash shook her head before laughing, following behind her marefriend. It was definitely going to be a beautiful relationship.
