WARNING: There WILL be some bad/curse/cuss words in this fiction, just a heads up.

C’mon Soarin’!” Spitfire said as she was flying around Cloudsdale “Fly with me!” Soarin’ sighed.
“Ok Spits, I will. Just for you.” He smiled, and began to fly around with her. Now, let’s back up a little here, the story is about these two ‘Bolts (Or at least, the start is) and they, are currently homeless. Good fliers, actually, great fliers. But homeless, and just for that, some ponies looked to them in disgust, and hate. It is a shame really, but they are used to it.
The filly and colt were flying around, getting the usual disgusted looks, but they were smiling, as they had each other to look out for. Then, a few pegasai stopped them.
“What do you two think you’re doing? This is our turf!” A big-bodied Pegasus said
“W-we were just flying… We’re sorry… We didn’t mean to ge-“ Spitfire was cut off
“Sorry? Sorry wont cut it. You know the drill boys.” Two more big-bodied pegasai flew into sight from behind him, as one grabbed Spitfire, and the other to Soarin’
“Argh! Let me go!” Soarin’ struggled, and soon enough bit the stallion holding him down
“You little bastard!” The stallion started to choke Soarin’, and Spitfire noticed
“Please, let him go! Please, any other way to do this then violence?” She was begging for a different way, and the leader smirked
“Yeah, there is a way.” He chuckled “If you two can beat us in a race, we’ll let you off the hook.”
“Ok… It’s a deal.” Spitfire sighed in relief after she said those words, and the three pegasai took Soarin’ and Spitfire to an old racing track
“Where are we?” Soarin’ asked
“This is the old Cloudsdale racing arena. And you two, are going to race us.” He smirks
“But that isn’t fair! There is three of you, and two of us!” Soarin’ snapped at him
“I wasn’t racing, calm down.” The leader of the three sighed, and sat in the bleachers, and stared at the four pegasai
“On the count of three, you fly. Three times around the track, first group to cross wins. One, two, three! Go!” He blew a whistle, and the four flew at their fastest speed, as Soarin’ and Spitfire were actually getting ahead, the other two didn’t want to lose, so, they cheated. They knocked the two in front of them into each other, causing them to lose stability, and soon enough crash into the cloud ground, and the wall. They both blacked out, and woke up half an hour later.
“Where… Where are we?” Spitfire said as she looked around, noticing that she was being held high in the air, same with Soarin’.
“Fillies and gentlecolts! Do we have a good surprise for you, the little colt and filly we all came to hate!” The leader of the group said, as Soarin’ and Spitfire were brought out into the open, being seen by everypony in an arena
“These two losers thought they could beat us in a race, guess who was wrong! Now, we’ll see if these two can manage to float safely to the ground, or wind up splatting on Canterlot!” He grinned, as he motioned the other two to drop them. Whilst free-falling, Soarin’ managed to fly, Spitfire couldn’t. He took notice to this, and flew by and grabbed her, holding her tight, while still trying to fly
“If I go down, it’ll be protecting you.” He yelled as the air was preventing any regular talk with it whirling past their ears. She was crying a little
“I don’t want to die Soarin’!” She was now holding onto him as if she’d never see him again, or if he was gone for ten years. As they were falling, Celestia noticed this.
“Not again… Somepony needs to teach those pegasai a lesson.” She used her magic to prevent them from hitting the ground, but landing next to her. The two looked at her, and hugged her tight.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” The two said in unison. Celestia smiled.
“It’s nothing! Really, I just wish those ponies would learn to not try and off others just because they were in their turf.” She said in an angered tone. “If anything, have someponies who’ll beat them in a race, teach them that they aren’t the fastest.”
“Um… Princess Celestia… They didn’t really win fair… They knocked me and Soarin’ into each other…” Spitfire said, and Celestia glared at her
“They cheated? That’s not right, not at all.”
“I wish we could do something… But what could we possibly do?” Soarin’ asked
“Well, I have an idea. Do you two have any other friends?” Celestia asked
“N-no… It’s always been me and Sorain’… Nopony else wanted to hang out with us because we were homeless…” Spitfire said as she looked down
“You know, there are more ponies like you. I know two pegasai like you that are never played with by others. Should I introduce you to these two?” Celestia asked looking at the two in front of her
“Sure! I’d love to have more friends! What do you say Soarin’?” Spitfire said smiling as she looked at Soarin’
“Sure… I guess it’d be nice.” He said, looking back at Spitfire and smiling, and Celestia nodded her head, and teleported her, and Soarin’ and Spitfire. As soon as they looked around, they noticed two pegasai sitting with each other and bouncing a ball back and forth.
“Their names are Fire Streak, and Blaze. They’re really good friend, like you two.” Celestia said “Go on, introduce yourselves.” Spitfire and Soarin’ walked up to the two, and they were obviously nervous. They didn’t want to make a bad first impression, if that even mattered.
“Hello there, I am Spitfire!” Spitfire said looking at Blaze
“Oh, hello. I am Blaze.” She smiled looking at Spitfire
“Hi... I am Soarin’... What’s your name?” He grinned, as he wasn’t good with making new friends, as it has always been him and Spitfire.
“Hello Soarin’, I’m Fire Streak.” He grinned back at Soarin’.
“Well, you four look like you could be some good friends.” Celestia smiled, “ Now Blaze, you said you two were also ganged up by three pegasai?” Celestia’s smile went away as she was serious.
“Yes, that is true… We were in their turf or something. I don’t really know.” Blaze said, looking at Celestia
“Did you race?” Celestia said looking at Fire Streak,
“Yes we did… And they cheated.” Fire Streak replied,
“Then you four have one thing more in common. Now, we need to find a way to get you guys ready for a rematch.” She said smiling, as she already knew what she was going to do, “I am going to pair you four up in a flight team. We’ll call you ‘The Wonderbolts’, as you’re all great fliers.” Celestia now just looking at the four sitting before her, “Like the idea?”
“I do!” Spitfire said,
“Same here.” Soarin’ responded,
“Yeah, sure I could go with being on a team with friends!” Blaze said,
“As long as Blaze is in, I’m in.” Fire Streak said smiling.
“Now, we need a team leader. How about a race? If there are any cheaters, you will be put as the lowest rank in the team, until you can do something to prove you’re not like that. Are we clear?” Celestia said,
“Yes ma’am.” The four said in unison.
“We’ll do it in the Canterlot Park. I’ll clear the way for it.” Celestia said smiling, as the five walked to the park, the ponies looked disgusted at the four until they say Celestia behind them, then they backed away,
“I am sorry everypony. I need this park for a good ten minutes at the most. Please, pack up and leave, come back in ten minutes, if we are not done by then, just watch.” Celestia said, as the ponies left. Some grumbled, and one of them almost called her a name, until the colt’s parent prevented him.
“Now, we are good to go?” Spitfire asked,
“Yes we are. First one to finish is the captain. Just race around the park, three times, no cheating.” The four stood in one line, “May the best Pegasus win, now go!” Celestia said as the four took off at top speed, Blaze seemed like she was winning until the wind blew forcefully back, now Soarin’ and Spitfire were used to it, as they flew in Cloudsdale, and the other two had lived in Canterlot for a long while. Soarin’ was now in the lead, but he looked back to Spitfire as she was getting tired going against the wind, he slowed down, and helped Spitfire.
“I won’t mind not being the captain, I’m not sure about you though.” Soarin’ said, smiling, as Spitfire nodded her head,
“I would like to be the captain…” She said, and Soarin’ used his strength to push her to the finish line, as they were now on the last lap, Blaze and Fire Streak were only on the second lap, Spitfire was now fling on her own as the winds died down, and she crossed. It had only been nine minutes since the park was cleared.
“We now have a captain! Fire Streak, Blaze, and Soarin’, your captain is Spitfire.” Celestia said smiling, as the other three flew to Spitfire to congratulate her, the park started to fill up, Celestia took the four to the Canterlot Castle.
“You four can live here for now, train hard, and try to find some new ponies to add to the team if you want!” Celestia said guiding the four to a large corridor, which had many rooms in it, “Stay in whatever one you want. They’re all open.” As Spitfire, Soarin’, Blaze, and Fire Streak all went into separate rooms, the slept. And every day, they would train as hard as they could, finding some newer ponies to add to the team, and they all became good friends, almost like a family.

This is certainly going to be interesting, a story on the 'Bolts background, and with that summary -- I am certainly very interested.

Advise: Have every quotation cushioned by a line break both before and after it, it makes it easier to read on a computer screen. Otherwise, well formatted.

[Foregrip Butterfly]

I will be watching this

[TwilightFreakingSparkle]

This seems like a very cool story, except, that if there is anything more with Celestia, maybe you should make her seem like royalty instead of another awesome pony.

Added to my RiL list. I love anything and everything Spitfire.

[Method in Maddness]

Needs a bit of polishing, but a great story so far with an interesting concept to boot. Keep 'em coming!

[Drum_Stix]

Thanks for reviews! ^_^ I tried doing better then my September fan fic.

[Wishes]

I think it's great, and I like the song too! It just has a few (few, let me remind you :)!) grammar errors, as I agree with DJ that it needs polishing, and maybe an interesting ending to the chapter, but I love the story idea anyway! Look forward to the rest of it!
