‘Daddy?’ a young voice asked, ‘Will I ever get into the Wonderbolts?’ the owner of the voice, a prismatic maned filly, by the name of Rainbow Dash asked, as she fluttered her tiny wings.
Her father, Rainbow Blitz, smiled down at her, ‘Dashie, keep belivin’ with all your little heart, and someday you’ll be flying with ‘em , no doubt!’ he replied kindly, as he rubbed her mane, earning an irritated sigh from the ambitious filly.
‘Dad, I’m not a foal anymore…’ she rambled, ‘I want to learn how to fly!’ she declared triumphantly.
Blitz grinned at his daughter’s dedication.
‘Hard work and dedication…that’s what makes a good Wonderbolt…’ he remarked, circling her, ‘Your’e eager to learn, a fast learner and a very smart young filly…’
Dash blushed at her father’s comments, and began to drag him out. This proved to be extremely difficult for the little filly, so she gave up (so much for dedication) after landing in a heap. However she recovered quickly enough.
‘Not to mention I’m more awesome than everypony in cloudsdale, and then times that by at least 20% unless you count Soarin’; but who could be more awesome than my very own older brother? He’s gonna get in the team for sure when he goes to the academy!’
'Dash, you don't have to tell me I'm awesome, I already know it!' an ice blue colt walked into the room, wearing a goofy grin, he trotted up to his sister, 'But I'm not as awesome as you!'
Dash's eyes twinkled, 'Do you really think so?' she asked him, Soar snorted.
'Think so? I know so!' he replied, putting a hoof under her chin.

A prismatic maned mare sighed to herself, she'd blown it. She had blown her one and only chance of getting into the Wonderbolts.
'Dash, I understand how you feel, really I do....' a purple alicorn said to her friend, Princess Twilight Sparkle trotted up to her, 'But Soarin' still loves you even if he isn't right here...' she said with a kind smile, putting one of her large wings around her best friend, who jumped.
'He said I'd never make the cut! That i was too big-headed and
stubborn and lazy!' the rainbow mare whispered.
Soarin and Dash never had a fight.
Deep down she knew he was right.
She'd never be a Wonderbolt.
