She’d finally made it!
The Wonderbolts, her lifelong dream was within her reach.
Her dream had finally started coming to life when she’d received a summons to Spitfire’s office at the Wonderbolt training centre. She’d been going there for a year now and as far as she could see, she’d been going from strength to strength, her moves were the fastest, the most elegant, and after the first time, she’d hardly broken anything around the course…
Much.
When Spitfire invited her in with a smile, Rainbow had wondered what was going on, Spitfire NEVER smiled at a recruit whilst they were in her office, it was unheard of.
It was when she’d sat Rainbow down and poured her a whiskey that she’d started to suspect something, and if that wasn’t enough, then the question came.
“Why do you think you should be a Wonderbolt?”
Even now, as she whispered the revered question, she couldn’t help but shiver in anticipation.
But even then…
She hadn’t answered until she’d thought things through, and even the answer she’d given was a simple one.
‘It’s my dream.’
That was when Spitfire had smiled widely at her, and passed her an envelope.
An envelope with a lightning bolt seal on the back.
She was graduating with full honours and a position within the Wonderbolts.
And if that wasn’t enough, she’d told her marefriend, Twilight Sparkle about it, and she’d smiled wider than Spitfire had done, and hugged Rainbow tightly.
All she'd told Rainbow between the happy cuddles, was this.
“I’m happy for you.”
