Dear Scootaloo and Wonderbolts,


Most of you know me as the great and beautiful Rainbow Dash.  I'll bop Scootaloo with my wing if she didn't play me off like that!  But seriously, this is my last words of encouragement to you all.  I gave up most of my life to be with the Wonderbolts.  So I'm the best one to give this advice to you.  This is my last tip for all of you.  That tip is:  Don't let this take over your life.  Sure, it's great and all, but real success is when you have your friends there to enjoy it with you.  Don't make the mistake I made.  Since this is my will though, I'll get on with what I'm leaving behind.



To the Barnyard animal I love the most, I leave my cloud-mansion, with everything in it.  Try not to turn it into a coop will you Scoots?

To the team of the greatest fliers of Equestria, I leave my handbook of tricks that I have written.  If you choose to accept this gift, you must help me honor the rest of Equestria with my last bequest.

To the ponies of Equestria, I leave a Sonic Rainboom in the hope that it helps them all discover beauty in the darkness that grips us all and in the hope that it guides them to good.



Now I'm sure by now that all of you are either crying or trying to look tough.  I would hate to leave Equestria hangin on that Sonic Rainboom.  So you go out and make me one!


Blinking away tears, Scootaloo heard the rest of the team sniffling as they each read the letter.  Scootaloo still had a small smile on her face from Rainbow's nickname for her.  Stomping into the middle of the locker room, she raised her voice to a shout.

"You heard her fillies!  Let's give Equestria a Rainboom that they will never forget!"
