Spitfire looked puzzled at Fleetfoot’s statement. “What?” She exclaimed. “You’re a fillyfooler?” She had a stern look on her face, Fleetfoot was worried that her best friend wouldnt accept her. But then that stern look turned into a smile. Spitfire got up and hugged her friend. “Thats perfect!” She exclaimed.
“What?” Now it was Fleetfoot’s turn to be confused. “What do you mean it’s perfect?”
“All in good time my young friend,” This only confused her more.
“I’m two years older than you.”
“ I know. But seriously,” She glanced around the room to make sure no one was nearby. When the coast was clear she motioned her friend closer and whispered in her ear, “Misty is also into mares.”
“Oh, well I don’t really like her like that. We’re just friends.” Fleetfoot said.
Spitfire’s face turned into disappointment, “Oh, you would make a great couple. But if you say so.”
A short while later the rest of the team returned and Spitfire resumed where she left off.

In Ponyville Rainbow Dash had just finished packing what she will need for her weekend away in Canterlot. She had got VIP tickets to the Wonderbolts show off of Fleetfoot just after the Equestria games, so she could hang out with them before and after the show.
“Ok Rainbow, are you sure you have everything?” Twilight asked.
“Yes Twi, I have everything that I’ll need.”
“Good we’ll see you Monday night.” She replied with a smile.
“Ok, see you all then” she said as she got on the train and waved to the girls.
“Goodbye, see you soon” all the girls shouted in unison.
To Rainbow Dash, the train ride was boring so she slept through most of it. What the time she was awake she spent reading a Daring Do book and looking out the window.
When she got to Canterlot she was surprisingly greeted by Fleetfoot. “Hey Rainbow Dash, what’s up?” she asked.
“Um, hi Fleetfoot, what brings you here? To the train station i mean.”
“Oh, I came to meet you, is that okay?” she said.
“Yeah of course, I’m just kind of surprised is all.”
Fleetfoot just giggled and then they started walking away from the station. “So Dash, where are you staying for the weekend?”
“Oh, I was gonna go check into the hotel down the road from the Stadium.”
“Awesome, thats the hotel I’m staying in too.” Silence fell upon them for a short while as they walked. They saw some other famous ponies, like Sapphire Shores, and Photo Finish. They finally got to the hotel and checked in.
Rainbow and Fleetfoot split up and went into their rooms. Rainbow’s room was just a standard hotel room, nothing too fancy.
_____________________________________________________________________
It was Saturday and the first day of the show. All of the Wonderbolts were at the stadium except for Fleetfoot, she decided that because her flight wasn’t until the next day that she didn’t need to go just yet. So she went to see Rainbow Dash. She knocked on the door and waited for an answer. About five minutes later the door swung open and she saw a very tired pegasus.
“Hey Dash.” she said.
“Uh, hey Fleetfoot, how’s it going?” she asked through a yawn.
“It’s all good.” She replied. “Wanna go get breakfast? It’s on me.” She asked.
“Whay? You wanna buy me breakfast?” the rainbow maned pegasus asked in shock.
“Yeah why not, we can call it a date.” Damn, why did i say that? It was so….She was cut out of her train of thought when Rainbow agreed. Perfect.
When they got to the small cafe there were ponies in the dozens queuing to get their morning tea/coffee and a bite to eat. When they finally got to the counter Fleetfoot ordered their drinks and food. The two of them had a cup of coffee and some toast each. Oh my gosh! I’m on a date with Fleetfoot. Dash thought to herself.
For the rest of the day until the show, they spent the day together flying, relaxing and having fun.

At the arena, Fleetfoot and Rainbow walked into the locker room and was greeted by a very depressed Soarin who was being comforted by Misty.
“Hey guys. so who died?” Fleetfoot asked.
“Spitfire.” Soarin cried.
“What do you mean Spitfire died?” Rainbow asked.
Soarin wiped his eyes and told Fleetfoot and Rainbow Dash what had happened.

Spitfire had taken off into the air and picked up speed, she pulled a few barrel rolls and loops during her time in the air. Her time was almost up, so she thought she would end off with a bang, and she did. It was a show nopony would ever forget. She flew straight up and prepared herself in a nose dive position. She dove down in a straight line “Ouch, wing cramp.” she said to herself. “HEEEEEELP,” she cried but no one heard her through the crowd cheering. She saw her life flash before her eyes as the gap between her and the concrete floor came to a close.
“NO!” Soarin exclaimed as he flew over to the crash site. Much to his surprise the medics were already there. “Please let me through, she’s my wife.” he said. The medics let him through to see her. If it were anyone else they would have said no, but they made an exception because they were family. He sat beside her and started talking to her, but she didn’t answer. “Spitfire please wake up.” he cried. She opened one eye and smiled to him before saying.
“Soarin, I love you very much and I want you to be happy, as happy as you made me feel when we started dating. I haven’t got much time left but I want you to know that I will never forget you, and I will always love you.” Her eyes closed again and her body stopped moving. one of the medics checked her heartbeats and puls, but there were none. She had gone. The medics moved the body onto a stretcher and covered her before taking her to the ambulance.
“No Spitfire please don’t go, you can’t die, not now, not after all we have been through.” He cried, Misty escorted him to the locker room while the other wonderbolts were talking to the press about the accident.

“And that’s how it happened.” he said. Fleetfoot and Rainbow were crying in each others arms.
A few weeks later they held a funeral service for the Wonderbolt Captain. Soarin was the first to speak. “Spitfire was my fiance, we had planned to get married the week after the three night shows had finished. I guess that will never happen, but I’m glad we spent as much time as we did together over the past ten years we have been together. I love you Spitfire, I always have and always will.” He walked back to his seat with tears running down his cheeks.
Next to speak was Rapidfire. “Hey sis, I’m not sure if you can hear me or not, but I may as well try and say a proper goodbye.” Rapid was never one to believe in life after death but because it was his younger sister he wanted to say goodbye. “You were the best little sister a guy could ask for and I love you.” I remember all the fun we’ve had over the years, even when you let me join the Wonderbolts Academy all those years ago. I never got the chance to thank you for that so I’m saying it now. Thank you sis, and I love you.” Rapid walked back to his seat beside his best friend to comfort him.

Because of Spitfire’s death Soarin’ left the Wonderbolts and spent most of his time at home drinking cheap whiskey or sat in a bar doing the same.
He was in his house when there was a knock on the door, when he got up to answer it he saw Rapidfire, Fleetfoot, Misty and Rainbow Dash. “How’s it going?” Rapidfire asked already knowing the answer. Soarin just shrugged off the question. “Soarin’, my sister would want you to be happy. Come back to the Wonderbolts, Fleet and I are doing just awful without you, you’re the only one with leading experience.” Rapid said.
“I’ll think about it.” He said with a sigh, “Just give me some time to think, okay?”
“Sure, just don’t drink too much okay?”
Soarin’ gave a small smile “Okay,I won’t”
