Rainbow Dash zoomed through the sky, charging back to Ponyville to share her great news. The amount of joy shown on her face wasn't nearly close to the amount she was feeling.
"RAINBOOOOWW!! YOU IN HERE?!" Twilight shouted in Rainbow Dash's house. The remaining four of them had come back to check on her and when they came around, they found an empty home.
"I guess she finally got up and out herself." Rarity said when no response was given to Twilight's calls.
"We should still go find her." Fluttershy said.
"Ya." Twilight agreed. "Come on girls, lets go."
"Hey!! Guys! Wait up!" Rainbow Dash shouted. The other four could see nothing less than a blur of rainbow that increasingly encroached upon them. Before it bowled them all over, Rainbow Dash stopped in her tracks right in front of them with the biggest smile ever on her face.
"Uhh, wha's up partner?" Applejack asked surprised by Rainbow's sudden attitude change.
"Guess!" Rainbow Dash cheered the word everypony loves to hear when there's news afoot.
"Uhh..." Twilight began before being cut off by Rainbow Dash.
"I got into the Wonderbolts!!" Rainbow Dash squealed out.
Round of congratulations came out from all her friends immediately, after the initial shock of the amazing news.
"Wow! How'd you get in?!" Fluttershy asked excitedly.
"Actually, it wasn't that hard. I just yelled at Spitfire and Soarin for a while before they gave me a tryout and I got in for being, well, awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
"Well that's amazing darling! How come they never had you tryout or whatever earlier?" Rarity exclaimed.
"Who cares! I'm in the Wonderbolts now! I'm awesomer than awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
"Well, what happens know?" Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow Dash stopped for a moment and thought for a minute before replying. "I.. uhh I don't know. Whatever it is my life is complete now!" She said still beaming.
"Well we should go to Canterlot and tell Pinkie and add your name to the party." Twilight suggested. "We can catch the next train easily."
"Ya! That sounds like a great idea!" Rainbow Dash said with the others agreeing.
"Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo yelled as she flew over to them. After flying forever she had finally caught up.
"Hey Scoots!" Rainbow called back.
"Congrats on joining the Wonderbolts, now were like teammates!" Scootaloo said as she landed on the cloud.
"Ya, I told you that you'd be a great flyer one day!" Rainbow Dash replied happily. "Were all going to Canterlot to see Pinkie Pie and the party. You wanna come on too little buddy?"
"Ya definitely." Scootaloo replied.
The group of them then took off on their trip. The next train was full so they had to wait another two hours at the train station for the next one. They were able to get first class being the first ponies to buy tickets for the next train.
The train ride itself was uneventful and boring, well except for Rainbow Dash. She just went on and on and on beaming about her new position. She was only going a little crazy with wondering what she would be doing next. She probably should have asked before flying off from HQ.
When they finally arrived in Canterlot it wasn't too difficult for the to find there friend. There was only one real destination where Pinkie Pie would go. Only the best foundations could be used for her party and with Celestia as a friend, getting the best wouldn't be too hard.
The six of them went over to the courtyard next to the building where the gala had been held before, chances were she would be in one or the other. It ended up being the former as they saw a path of party layed out around the courtyard with decorations and everything already being put together.
"Oh thank god." Spitfire said to herself as she saw the others arriving. "Hey! Over here!" She called the newcomers over.
"Hey Spitfire! Guess what?" Rainbow Dash said excitedly as she sped over to her. "I'm your newest teammate!" She said without even giving Spitfire a chance to speak.
"Well congrats then Rainbow. Its a pleasure to welcome you aboard, did you leave before anypony could tell you anything or not?" She asked as if it was a routine thing to say.
"Oh ya, I um kinda did." She replied a little embarrassed.
"OK, well we can add your name to the banner and stuff here and afterwards we can get you fitted for an out-form and a special passport for traveling." Spitfire said.
"A passport? For what?"
"Well, we travel a lot if you haven't noticed. Its a passport so we get free hotel rooms and free transport if we aren't flying."
"We travel that much? So does that mean I'm not going to be in Ponyville that much anymore?" The excitedness in her voice was dropping a little as she quickly realized she'd be away from her friends more than she'd expect.
"Yes, most of the time, you won't be here in Ponyville."
"Well... can they at least come with me?" Rainbow said motioning towards her friends.
"I'm sorry, but they can't. It doesn't really work like that." Spitfire said a bit awkwardly. She could see Rainbow Dash's spirits being crushed a little.
An awkward silence followed. Until it was broken by Rainbow Dash for what seemed to have the sole reason of breaking the silence.
"So... on one hand I live my dream and be even awesomer.... but on the other hand I get to see my friends." Rainbow muttered, crushed. "I'm gonna go think things over for a little while..." Rainbow then said before quickly flying off to be alone.
The rest of them just stood there silent the entire time not sure what to do.
"Well, um, what do we do know?" Twilight spoke up first.
"I guess just go through as planned. You girls should probably go find her though. She may say she wants to be alone, but she doesn't." Spitfire said recollecting her past. "I guess, I'll just stay here and watch your pink friend whenever she gets back. Make sure she doesn't break anything else." she continued.
"What'd the gal break?" Applejack sighed.
"The budget for this party. I don't know how she manages to do it back in Ponyville, because she seems to be fine doing whatever it is she is doing." Spitfire replied, still wondering how that pony does it.
"OK, well then we should go check on Rainbow Dash, wherever she went." Fluttershy said.
