	The breeze was just the right amount of speed for the little fillies and colts that were on the cloud watching and learning how the athletic cyan blue Pegasus was giving different ways to fly and techniques to avoid obstacles and strong head winds during flight. Rainbow's wing since had been colored in the blue and yellow of the Wonderbolts, which gave her a lot more confidence of still being on the team. The little ponies were in awe as the Pegasus did twirls and loops just above them to show them stunts she had learned.
"Now kiddos, it's your turn." Rainbow said to them.
All the little ones started racing around the training area, laughing and sometimes falling with a big 'poof' onto the cloud with Dash assisting them back up and assuring them that they can do it, and to give it another try. She even had a little fun racing around with some of them.
"Alright now, take a seat I want to show you something real amazing that is only thought to be an old ponies tale." Rainbow stepped to the edge of the cloud as the fillies and colts sat silently for what she was about to show them. As Rainbow looked out across the valley and looked down below, she smiled and thought about things. Self-Defeat will never be an option for her, she is a fighter, a leader, and a warrior. She was a strong Pegasi, one who couldn't let fear overcome her faith and most of all loyalty.
She dived off the cloud and started speeding up to a mach speed, as she started to fold her wings in a little more for the move she was about to perform, her metal wing gave a little wiggle, but she was not worried. She raced downward and downward, faster and faster as a mist cone started to form in front of her, she approached close to the ground and as she did, she hit the speed to perform something she thought she had lost the ability to do, the rainboom. 
A large bang erupted from below as the ponies up above shouted and cheered as she raced back up a big rainbow following behind her and a rainbow spreading in a circle spread out across the land below. Spitfire was watching from the side near her office and muttered, "That's the girl I know," and walked back inside towards her office.
Rainbow landed as the small swarm of little ones gathered around her with different cheers and excitement.
"And that little ones, is how you stay true to your dreams." Rainbow stated.
