//------------------------------// // In which the Sonic trio head out to Ponyville // Story: The Unfortunate Secret Story of Us // by Commander Rainstorm //------------------------------// Thirteen years later Three blurs rush by, one orange, one blue, one rainbow. The crowd has had their breaths gone since the beginning of this "Sonic trio"'s performance. Cones of air are building up around the three mysterious ponies, when they are suddenly broken. Colors fly everywhere, and the crowd goes wild. But they are not done yet. The blue and orange ponies surround the rainbow one, circling. They go faster, tighting together, creating a bigger, stronger air cone. The audience goes even more wild, knowing this was a one-of-a-kind thing. With a sudden burst, the cone shatters, creating a huge, strong wave of color, orange on one side, blue on the other, and a rainbow in the middle. As the three ponies land, confetti is thrown with an assortment of roses. Regally, princess Celestia come out from her observation deck. In a loud voice that immediately quiets the crowd, she says, "I hereby present the young flyers cup to the Sonic trio, Rainstorm, Solarflare, and Rainbow Dash!" The crowd screams their approval. "Meet me at the shop." Celestia murmers at the side of her mouth. They simply nodded, with knowing smiles. -----***----- "You have been faring well I see." Celestia inquires, sipping her tea. Currently, they were in a donut shop,owned by famous Joe. Every since Celestia found them that fateful day, they had been enjoying donuts with the yellow-brown stallion for years. It was a place they could relax together, without the media mobbing them constantly, thanks to Joe. They all nod. "We just need a break. Don't get me wrong, flying is awesome, but its plain tiring!" Rainbow exclaims. The other nod their agreement. Celestia nods as well. "I understand. I have a place for you to go. Ponyville. I can send you there with my student, Twilight Sparkle, if you want." The Sonic trio just stared at her in disbelief. "Don't worry, its first class." Celestia says quickly. Rainstorm smiles. "It's not that, it's just that we don't usually get a first class invitation from the princess to Ponyville, or any other place." "Let alone with her student!" Solarflare chimes in. "Well, an aunts got to help in some way!" Celestia retorts. They all chuckled, enjoying each other's company. "Now go pack your stuff. The pegasi are scheduled for leave tomorrow."says Celesta. Nodding, Rainstorm, Rainbow Dash, and Solarflare toke to the wing, flying to their respective rooms. Smiling, Celestia shakes her head, taking another sip of her tea. "Someday..." -----***----- The next day, the three arrive outside the Canterlot Castle, hurrying greatly. After finally stopping, the trio collapse in a big pile of suitcase, hair, and fur. Above, two violet colored eyes appear, and proceed to stare down at them. "Well?" The purple unicorn mare says. Disentangling herself from the mess, Rainbow stands up. "Hi, nice to meet you. The names Rainbow Dash. These here are my sisters, Rainstorm and Solarflare." Behind her, Rainstorm and Solarflare salute. Turning back to the unicorn, Rainbow says" Your Twilight Sparkle, right?" "Yes, and let me set a few rules before we go. No horsing around, no laughing hysterically, no flying, and most of all, no fake niceness from now on. Also, my assistant is a dragon, so no gawking at him." behind Twilight, a purple baby dragon with green spikes waves, mouthing something along the lines of " don't mind her.". "Got it? Good. ",Twilight says, turning to board the chariot. Looking back at Rainstorm and Solarflare, Rainbow Dash shrugs. Shaking their heads, they to, board the chariot.
