//------------------------------// // Stepping into a New Life // Story: Rise or Fall, of a Hero // by LuckyBass13 //------------------------------// Spitfire woke up the next day with ease, she didn't want to move as she felt too comfy to even wake up. She soon moved a bit off the bed and got up. She proceeded with her new life morning routine. First she makes her bed after getting up, Second she checks herself and changes out her garment, Third she makes breakfast after freshening up in the bathroom, Next she checks her mail which of course was a stockpile of stuff, Finally after all the normal stuff she opens her closet and fits herself into her wonderbolt uniform. She gazed into the mirror looking at herself knowing she a brand new pony, although what now seems obvious is her garment made a slight bulge at her rear. This she'll need to get used to because of her new condition. She closes the door and turn the lights off and proceeded outside into the fresh air and the high skies of Cloudsdale. She flies to the academy seeing her colleagues and many Pegasus ponies flying around the areas. She entered her office after being welcomed back by the cadets and officers alike and continued her work. As she worked she noticed many letters at her desk that has been from the cadets, most of them are get well cards and some are your the best cards. After she finished sorting out her desk she heard knocks and allows the pony to enter. "Come in." "Hi Spits, How does it feel being back at work." "Well one its nice and two at least I get a comfy seat now." They laugh from the small joke. "Anyways I'm sure your aware of the dispute with a old cadet right?" "Oh her, Fine Give me the reports." She remembers her like gum stuck on somepony's mane. She looked through the reports and finding out after a court hearing while she was gone and old face will be returning for a second chance. "So yeah Spits, she's coming back." "Well I'm not the idiot who kicked her out, But if she is coming back she'll be under a lot of pressure. I'll take care of it." "You sure spits?" " You bet, Now is she here?" With a nod Spitfire asked Soarin to let her in, and soon a familiar face enters the doors and presents herself in front Spitfire. "Well, Nice to see you again... Lightning Dust." "Yeah, it is. So I've heard about your actions..." Lightning was interrupted before saying another word. "Stop, This is not about me it's about you being here. Now after catching up with the details, I like to lay down some ground rules for you. Now I'm unsure who let you go but its not in my attention to do so. Now first rule, You can't be late for anything, Second You will address me as Captain Spitfire understood? Third Any sorta slacking off or any Rough housing I will not hesitate to kick you out officially, Finally anything about me stays out of your time training here. I don't want to deal with any useless information." "Yes Ma'am, I understand fully." "Good Now, Since I'm in a very good mood i have decided to do something different. You Lightning Dust will be my protege." "Excuse me?" "That's right, I'm your commanding officer and Coach for your time here at the academy. You'll receive special training from my personal arsenal of tips and tricks to be the best. You got it?" "Yes ma'am." "I Can't Hear You!" "YES MA'AM!" "Good now, if you have any questions come by my office after training hours, Lunch, or near the end of the day. Dismiss!" With a salute Lightning Dust exited the door knowing full well her days coming back will be rough but worth it. Spitfire relaxed in her chair and looked out to the window with a smile in her face. After a days work of Spitfire clocked herself out the door. She proceeded through the halls with her suit on passing by some lockers with some pegasus ponies around still. But Soon she stopped to hear the snickering of a couple of stallions pegasus at her direction, This now caught her attention with the intention to see it through. She walked over to them with a serious attitude. "Is there a problem Gentlestallions?" "Um No Ma'am I don't think so." The first stallion looked around with a dead look that he's lying as the other two shakes their heads. "Stallions, You have every right as ponies you are but telling me lies is just going to make it worse. Now what was so funny?" The three stallions stood there with dumb faces but one of them came forward. "Spitfire Ma'am Me and the others we sorta snickering about your suit having a slight bulge at the rear, we sorta heard it and we just were idiots. Forgive us." " Now that's what I want to hear Somepony to face the music with the truth. You What's your name?" " Name's Stone Chucker." "Stone you will be in the barracks cleaning the floors. As for you two you are suspended for not being that brave to come clean. Now get out of this place. Now!" With that scream the two others flew off leaving Stone to walk away only to be stopped by Spitfire. "Hey thanks for coming clean, Now get to work soldier." "Yes ma'am." With a smile Stone proceeded to the barracks for his punishment. Spitfire proceeded to the Mare's Restroom and proceeds to change her garment with privacy. Soon she flies off from the building to Ponyville once again visiting the Sugarcube Corner for a nice snack. She unzipped her hood and removed her goggles and proceeded inside to meet Pinkie Pie at the counter. "Hiya Spitfire, Some party right?" "Yeah, Thanks for the party by the way." "Anytime for a hero yourself, Now what can i get you?" " A nice Bagel and a side of water please." "Okie Dokie!" She zoomed out as Spitfire sit at one of the tables. She grabbed the newspaper and proceeded to read it. As she got to page 3 She heard a small giggling, she looked around for a second before continue reading the paper only to hear it again. She stopped and looked around the floor only to see a small colt tugging her suit's hindleg part. She picks up the colt as Pinkie Come out with Spitfire's order as she noticed the colt. "Pound Cake, No we don't mess with the customers." "Its quite alright Pinkie, he's just curious. Aren't you little guy?" Pound only responds with cheerful giggles. "Seems like her likes you a bit." "Looks that way Pinkie, by the looks of it he looks like a genuine flyer." "Yep, He's been doing some flying a lot but he's stopped for obvious reasons." "Well when he gets older he'll be a natural in no time. How about it Pound?" Pound responds with a 'Yeah' as She and Pound did a high hoof bump which make Pinkie giggled and laugh a bit. After that Spitfire payed her order and exited the place as she returned home to get ready for bed. She can handle her new life with ease knowing nothing bad can ever happen. She is strong, Kind, and a understanding pony. 1 week later At the Village The Village was crowded with ponies gathering to witness one of the greatest moments in history. Ponies from Ponyville, Cloudsday, Canterlot, and many others have joined up for this momentous day. In the back we find Spitfire in her wonderbolt uniform with her hood unzipped and goggles down now at the peak of her excitement was ready to go out there and speak to the ponies out there. She has what she needs to say in her head as the music signalling all ponies to be seated and to be quiet as Princess Celestia approach the podium to address her words to the ponies across Equestria. "We are gathered here today, in the glorious day, to honor the pony who has saved this village with all that she has experienced. She showed how much the ponies of Equestria means to her. Showing how much she will protect her subjects even staring death in the face. She has earned a place in our history's Greatest Heroes!" the ponies cheered more than ever. "Now I welcome to speak her heart, Spitfire!" The crowd cheered for Spitfire as she approach the podium for her speech. "Hello my name is Spitfire, Captain of the Wonderbolts. First I want to say how grateful i can be standing her today being immortalized as a Hero among all the ponies of Equestria. During my stay at the hospital after the events of the tornado I was in a wrecked state, Knowing that I could have died thinking is this where I stop? But during my stay I was visited by many ponies that I know very well and ponies from the village, Who all lifted my spirits one after another. I thought to myself knowing this, I think i can handle this. But what really changed my thoughts was the wisdom of Princess Celestia, She told me how much they looked up to me for being an idol and an inspiration to spawn more helpful souls to help everypony around the world of Equestria be it big or small. A Month ago I stepped out of my old life as what i am. Today I will now step into a New Life!" With that speech the crowd cheered so loud the high heavens can hear their joyous calls. Princess Celestia walked over to Spitfire and Pinned her The Medal of Hero. Spitfire teared up as she is now the pony she is now. She is now a hero. As she looked into the crowd they open up a made up runway for her to fly off for a trick. Spitfire wipes the tears off her eyes, put on her goggles and gets into a stance ready for take off. She flies through the ponies as she takes the skies with her Wings gives off a flare effect as she flies through the skies making a small image of her cutiemark and burst through it creating a flare effect like fireworks of new years eve. She flies into the skies with happiness and glee in her heart and soul.

" Yeah Because of what she did we can't level that horrible place." "...." "Yeah Celestia has her guards have been posted at the village for extra protection. I thought for sure that tornado would work." "......" "I Realize that but we can't make hasty decisions, we have to wait it out." "....." "Please be patient with me I'm sure She'll slip up and we can take actions, I'm surprised we made it out without being noticed. That was too close." "......" "Very well, I'm keeping a pony in the academy undercover so we can use anything to gain the opposition." "....." "Understood. I'll keep you up to date weekly so you can develop a good way to get your money for a new area. We should end this conversation now, somepony might be listening." "....." "Yes that would be best.
