Rainbow Dash walked into the Gala with pride. I will talk to The Wonderbolts tonight. she thought to herself as she watched her little sister, Scootaloo, run off with her friends. After the little orange filly was out of sight, she strutted her way over to the VIP section and caught the attention of Sorin, one of the main flyers on the team. 
"Oh, Hey! It's the mare who rescued us from that big fall. Come on, let her in guys!" Sorin smiled and motioned for the guards to move aside.
Rainbow Dash smirked as she crossed into the cool section. "Hey guys." She said as calmly as her body would allow. "Long time no see."
Her three idols talked with her only for a minute before being swept away into other conversations. Dashie did her best to keep their attention, but no matter how hard she tried they seemed to ignore her. Three hours had come and gone before she realized that The Wonderbolts were too busy for a normal mare like herself. She excused herself and started to walk through the castle's hallways.
I knew that was going to happen. she thought as she wandered with her head down. Why would the Wonderbolts want to talk to me. . .why would anypony want to talk to me? tears began to form at the corners of her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. Rainbow was a strong pony. She never showed weak emotions. 
Squaring her shoulders, she strutted through the castle in no certain direction. She was looking for one of her friends so she had someone to chill with for the rest of the evening. She didn't care who. 
Before she knew it she was standing on a deck with her best friends older brother, Shining Armor. She almost laughed at the thought of ending up here with him. Of all the ponies i could have run into. Rainbow Dash genuinely liked Shining. He was strong, fast, courageous, and he knew how to play a mean prank now and then. 
She decided to sit next to him, happy to be with a pony like him. She looked him over, finding the suit he was wearing to be weird looking and oddly attractive at the same time. 
"It's a beautiful night." The stalion said to her.
Rainbow looked at him curiously. She was confused and surprised at how comfortable he seemed with her. I mean, Cadence just dumped his ass and he seemed to be over her already. Dash took a breath and looked back to the sky. He's only being friendly. Stop over reacting. 
"It really is." she stated calmly.
