This story is a sequel to Piercing the Heavens
BEFORE YOU READ: This takes place in Calm Wind's Wonderverse, after Piercing the Heavens. It was started before PtH was finished, so some events may turn out different.
Everypony has life goals.
In Spectrum's case, it would be following her parents' hoofsteps and becoming a Wonderbolt.
Unfortunately, life doesn't seem to agree with her. With loads of stress, unwanted attention, an extremely tight schedule, terrible school projects, not to mention an annoying little brother who literally gets in the way of everything she does, can Spectrum Skies overcome all those obstacles and emerge with triumph? Or will the pressure drag her down before she meets her goal?
Written mostly in 1st-person POV
Cover art done by me
OH MY GOD.

Whoa, am I really that good at writing? There's still some stuff I need to work on, but I'm really glad you like the story.
Thanks for the fave, by the way!
6224228
The fav, the track, to SoarinDash fics AND Cool Stories!
Definitely tracking this one.
Eager to see where it goes.
6224521
Thanks! Glad you're looking forward to more.
6224343
Hmmm... Interesting
Yep, going on my tracking list. This'll be good.
6227688 Glad you enjoyed it :)
I will be keeping a eye on this story, and how often it is up dated.
as of now it is a good start for a story but I will hold my vote to see if it develops.
good luck ShadowStrike11 and remember Harts Fire is watching.
6232977 Oh geez now you're making me nervous! Thanks for reading though! It helps when readers give feedback about my writing.
(ps. Shadow is fine)
6233227
do not sweet the little things. yes I am watching.
I am holding my vote to see just how deducted you will be to your story.
And you have some vary big hoof boots to fill with this story.
Seems interesting. I'll probably keep an eye on this.
Just one suggestion though. When you were doing the dream sequence, you should use line breaks instead of italics. That much italics makes the work seem really busy. That dream is long enough to make it its own scene.
6233380 Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind for future chapters.
Hahaha i loved the reference to Air Mach!
So far so good! A nice back story and set up, i look forward to reading further
6237647
Pffffff Air Sack

for my glasses most defiantly, as I would not be able to read this grate story with out them.

Harts Fire
...YES
THANK YOU SO MUCH
SOARINDASH EVERYWHERE, HUZZAH
also, are dashie and soarin still wonderbolts
6250685
You're very welcome! And yes, they are still Wonderbolts, but they have to divide their time between work and family since they have two kids to look after.
6250384
I may include a few drawings in the future, but only once in a while, just so you know. Thanks!
6250853
The drawing are good but only if you have time tack your time with the story that is first.
6251034
That's why I usually have a chapter or two prewritten so I don't need to worry about getting both the chapter and the pictures done at the last minute. (Believe me, I learned that the hard way.)
6251301
you are lucky as you can wright personally I am lucky to wright the comments I do.
I have the ideas I just can never put them to paper.
6251335
Yikes, I know how that feels. It's a form of writer's block, which is when you run out of ideas for a story or you can't put it in words. Most writers get it once in a while, including me.
6251360
I am kind of lucky in that I am helping with and editing a story on here with a friend author I met on site.
so to say we spend hours on Skype is a understatement.
6250853
oh thank god they're still wonderbolts
my happiness is still here
if they werent i would unfav
just kidding
6254354
Oh, you'd better be kidding.
Don't worry, I wouldn't dare do something so terrible like remove them from the Wonderbolts.
i can't wait to see Fleetfoot's kid!!!!!!
Not being able to read is a curse i would wish upon NO ONE. 
Glasses, are way more important.
6265677
You mean Whirlwind? Yeah, the kids will be introduced soon.
I totally agree. Glasses are like the gateway to the world of sight. Can't imagine life without them.
Is there any chance you might add some OTHER second generation Wonderbolts??
6271293
No spoilers though
Maaaaaybe. . .
So is whirlwind the son of wave chill and spitfire or calm and fleet foot? Great chapter by the way!
6277368 I am thinking rivet and Fleetfoot. but that is just me hoping.
love the chapter. no I love the hole story.
super good work ShadowStrike11 I just wish we code vote more than once for a story.
Harts Fire
6277553 I agree with the rivit and fleet but i guess we won't know until the writer says.
6277742
Well Fleet IS one of them (I think I stated that in Chp. 2, not counting the intro), but the other. . . you will just have to find out eventually.
6277553
I don't think I gave enough clues, didn't I?
6277814 Wow, you troll
6277814
to tell the truth I have a Farley good idea about who fleet is with but I am keeping it to my self.
but I will pass a hint along. check the original story base from Calm Wind you (may) find a clue there.
6277833
I know right, I'm so brilliant.
6277850
Hmm...you think you have a clue? Then, good for you, since I like to keep my readers thinking, rather than spoil the answer.
6277876
I never give out spoilers I only give out vary little clues as to ware the answer mite possibly be found.
and that is only a mite.
6277905
(I was talking about myself, as in I don't spoil answers) But yeah, we'll see if you guessed correctly, perhaps in some of the later chapters...*looks at prewritten chapters*...or maybe not TOO soon...
Seems like a pretty good story so far. Keep it up.
6286391
*salutes* Won't let ya down! xD
6286403
I see that you made it fairly obvious who our present ships are, huh?
6286419
You haven't seen the next several chapters, yet.
6286527
As in more ships, or do you think you have a twist on it? Cause I have 99.9% certainty who the parents of Flaring Mist and Whirlwind are.
6286559
I intended to make the parents of Flare and Whirlwind a little more obvious than I probably did without mentioning them directly a little too early in the story. I already mentioned one of each of their parents in Chapter 2, so if you can find a ship that involve each of them, you'll have a very good idea of who their parents are.
6286615
Well, there's many a ship in PTH, so I imagine these three aren't the only ones we'll be seeing.
6286637
I'm just going to say that it's a good guess, since I don't want to spoil anything big. (It's going to be hard for me not to spoil anything, since I have like three chapters prewritten ^_^)
6286664
Sounds good
I just hope I get my cover art soon for the fic I've been dying to get out.
6286676
What's your fic about? (if you don't mind me asking)
6286682
It's a sad fic about the stallion who shot the cloud in Equestria Games. Here's the description:
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means its going to launch you into something great. Just focus, and keep aiming.
For Sharp Shooter, life has ground to a halt ever since two years ago. The last Equestria Games nearly ended in tragedy because of a stray arrow in the Ice Archery event. Why in Equestria did his shot go astray? Seasoned athletes don’t make mistakes like that without a good reason…
6286686
Sounds like an interesting story! I don't think I've come across another one with the same idea. I'll try to check it out once it's finished.
