In the not-too-distant future, Rainbow Dash is a Wonderbolt. And in the not-too-distant future, Lightning Dust is on the track to becoming a Wonderbolt, having not gotten kicked out of the Academy on her second try. In fact, in the not-too-distant future, Dash is stuck supervising a group of hopefuls, including Lightning. Unfortunately, they do not have a very friendly relationship.
This is particularly unfortunate when they end up grounded in the middle of the Everfree Forest together.
Wow. I got that into EqD three minutes before the deadline. Really, if I was going to cheat by sending it in before it's properly up, I should have just kept writing. But apparently I have too much integrity to fix the rushed ending or something. Maybe I'd rather have a hurried story and an excuse than a poorly written ending that I can't explain away? In any case, I'm sorry I left this so close to the deadline.
Written for the EqD WTG #006. Remember, if you don't comment, I don't know what you really think, and I don't do better next time. So I'd like to issue a challenge: before liking or disliking this story, tell me one reason you're clicking that button. If you care enough to have an opinion, I'm sure you can think of something.
I like it!
One reason? I'm not very good at describing why I like things, but here goes: Lightning Dust is repentent, but not out of character.
I have to say; i really like this, it may be very short, but it's definitely a fun read, since Lightning Dust admits she made mistakes and was being overconfident, but still in character, maybe one day, Lighting Dust might make it to at least the Wonderbolts Reserve, she was shown to be a very good flyer, so that is hardly the issue, her issue is overconfidence and inability to work in a team. Much like Rainbow Dash might have ended up had she not become the Element of Loyalty and have so many good friends to help her reign in her confidence, not easy matter since she si the best and she knows it well, and while her bragging may be completely true, she does have a bit of trouble keeping it from going to her head. She does try though, credit to Dashie.
Can we possibly see a sequel to this, please?
6445682 I'm sorry I have to tell you the answer is almost certainly "no." I don't write stories anymore.
6449267 Aw, that's too bad. This one certainly earned its position in my favorites list.
Honestly, whether she trusted me or not, I probably wouldn’t have cared.
