Fleetfoot punched the finishing cloud and the Markspony stopped the cloud with twenty seconds to spare. Then Fleetfoot landed on the cloud and brohoof Spitfire.

Spitfire turned to Soarin, “How’s your wing?”

“It’s a little hurt but I’m okay,” said Soarin through the cheering crowd that made Spitfire more proud of her teammate. Soarin turned to the next team as the Markspony reseted the clock, “Go Ponyville!”

Rainbow Dash made to her position with her wings flapping on her mark. She watched as Bulk Biceps started to fly from the starting line. The crowd cheered on as so far, Bulk is doing good but she’s getting worried about the sharp turn. She eyed on the two hoops with a ninety degree angle as Bulk flew closer. Then he passed the first hoop as Rainbow eyes widened as Bulk angled himself toward the next hoop and then passed the second with no trouble. Rainbow exhaled with relief as he proceeded to pass the baton to Fluttershy as the clock has thirty-six seconds left.

Rainbow Dash is now waiting for her teammate to tag her. Her mind rigid with anticipation as her eyes fixed on Fluttershy. Fluttershy makes a turn proceeding another set of hoops, gripping on the horseshoe. Rainbow hovers around as the wind blew on her calming her nerves even from the noise of the crowd. Then she spotted Fluttershy soaring towards her making a relay tag. The clock winded down as the hand passed the twenty second mark and Fluttershy holds up the horseshoe as Rainbow responded with her hoof. Rainbow holds her breath in tense as the two teammates passed the baton.

Then she took off the second the baton passed on. The arrow on the clock is running fifteen seconds left. Rainbow Dash darted through the rainbow hoops. Ten seconds, Dash made a turn, shooting another set of hoops. Rainbow exhaled her breath then inhaled as seven second ticks. Her excitement aroused as she hit every mark then rockets up towards the finish-line.

She frequently breathed in, her eyes are careful not to lose sight and her trap is shut tight. The clock is ticking three seconds and her rainbow dart aimed at the finish line on a cloud. Dash is near her target; Then as she made true contact and punctured through the cloud, leaving a marked hole. Then she turned to the markspony.

Her ears jerks open as marks-colt stopped the clock, then markspony looked at the clock and said these words, “Ponyville qualifies!”

Her eyes brightened and her lip gapped as she made a loop-de-loop and shouted, “Yeah! We did it!”

The crowd cheered as the rest of Ponyville applauded including Pinkie, who has been cheering with the Cloudsdale cheerleaders held a banner read, “GO RAINBOW DASH!!!”

Applejack putted down her chewed apple betty as she cried out, “Yee-Haw!”

Then a few moments later, Rainbow and the rest of her team standing on the podium awaiting for the medal given to them. The medalpony gave to the team next to them then he gave them three medals and congratulated them.

The Ponyville residence joined with them as the photographer setting up the camera.

Spitfire paused the camera to a hold then she came up to Rainbow Dash and pulled out a golden Wonderbolt Badge. Rainbow couldn't help but have the tears welded up in her eyes. Then the Wonderbolts flew out of sight.

Then as the photographer started to get the photo ready, Twilight smiled at Rainbow for she knew Rainbow made herself a good decision.

Then Twilight said, “Equestria Games, here we come!”

Finally the group was together, even Derpy holding up the flag, smile for the camera as it flashed.

Then back at Ponyville, Rainbow, in the Golden Oaks Library, placed a photo on the friendship journal then she pick up a pencil with her mouth and she wrote down:

Oh, I can’t deny it. I love to make into the games, flying with my heroes and win. But I was torn between my friends and the Wonderbolts and it was so hard to choose what is right to be in one team or the other. Even as much as I love winning, I chose stick with my hard working friends. Who knows, there would be something waaaaay more ahead.

Then dropped her pencil and hanged her medal on the pedestal to join with her friends outside. But as she does, the golden badge, pinned on the medal, shined bright rainbow colors.
