Rainbow dash's dream finally comes true, but something's wrong. Her appearance is changing little by little, can her friends save her before it's too late?
Rainbow dash's dream of becoming a Wonderbolt finally came true. But after the first show with her in it, her appearance starts to change little by little. She soon begins to act strange and lose her memory. Can her friends save her before it's too late?
It was a beautiful Monday morning in Equestria, the sun was shinning, and everypony was happy.
"Special delivery" yelled the mail pony.
"What's this," said Rainbow "I GOT IN".
Rainbow Dash was especially happy, she got letter from the Wonderbolts that said she was accepted into the team, so she was off to Twilight' s library.
On her way there she flipped and twirled through the air with excitement and almost did a few sonic rainbooms.
When she got there she was about to knock on the door, only for the door to burst open so she could be greeted by Pinkie.
"HidashiemypinkiesencetoldmethatsomponiesdreamcametruesoItoldeveryponytocomeherewhileIsetupaparty" said Pinkie rapidly as she popped out of nowhere.
"She just barged in here setting up this party up without my permission" said Twilight, as she prepared a piece of cake for Rainbow.
"Thanks everypony, you guys are the best, now who wants to see the good news" said Rainbow as she took the plate from Twilight.
"WE DO" said everypony.
"I'M A WONDERBOLT NOW" Said Rainbow holding up the letter.
"Congratulations, Rainbow" said Twilight.
"So when's yer first show" said AJ as she patted Rainbow on the back.
"Tomorrow in Canterlot" said Rainbow as she threw away the plate.
"Then let's start getting ready with costume measurements" said Rarity, "then I'll do your make-up early tomorrow morning".
"Fine," said Rainbow as Rarity used her magic to carry her out the door.
"Can you put me down now," said Rainbow as Rarity walked out the door.
"Sorry," said Rarity "now what color do you want your uniform to be, sequins or bedazzling, embroidery or fabric patches, how ab-,"
"Let me stop you there," said Rainbow as she put a hoof to Rarity's mouth "I just want a blue bodysuit with yellow trim and goggles, understood,". Then she let go of Rarity and took her hoof away from Rarity's mouth.
"We have reached are destination," said Rarity.
"Stand right there while I get the tape measure," said Rarity.
As Rarity measured, Rainbow couldn't stay still.
"Stay still Rainbow Dash" said Rarity as she tried to get a clear measurement.
"Sorry, but I don't like other ponies touching me" said Rainbow.
"Done, you can move now" said Rarity as she wrote down the measurements and made a pattern for the uniform.
"Finally" said Rainbow, stretching out her wings.
"Your costume will be ready tomorrow" said Rarity.
"OK" said Rainbow.
When she walked out the door, she was immediately greeted by Fluttershy.
"Uh, Rainbow, do you want a song for me to play for you tomorrow" said Fluttershy
"Sure" replied Rainbow.
On the way there they had a little conversation.
"So why do you want to be a Wonderbolt" asked Fluttershy.
"When I was just a little filly I went to a Wonderbolts show, and I loved it, they became my heroes," replied Rainbow "Then I did a sonic rainboom and because I was the first pony to ever do one, then I thought, hey I might be Wonderbolts material, so I trained hard through the rest of my childhood until I became the best flyer in all of Equestria".
"That's so inspirational" said Fluttershy.
"Thanks dude" replied Rainbow.
"We're here" said Fluttershy.
"Are you sure that this is really necessary ,Fluttershy" said Rainbow.
"Yes, absolutely, now which song do you like" she responded
After a hour of listening to birds chirp, she chose one called "H-O-R-S-E".
"Well, I better be going, bye, Fluttershy" said Rainbow.
"Bye, Rainbow" replied Fluttershy.
Rainbow came home around 7 o'clock at night. She made dinner, took a bath, brushed her teeth, and went to bed. As she tucked herself in bed she thought to herself 'Tonight I'm a nopony, tomorrow I'm famous'.
Rainbow woke up very early the next morning to get ready with Rarity for the show. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, and ate breakfast. She was off to Rarity's house.
She zipped through the air with excitement until she got there and almost crashed into Rarity's house.
"Come in, come in" said Rarity when she heard a loud BANG "here, try this on" as she handed Rainbow the uniform.
"I, look, AWSOME" yelled Rainbow, after trying on the uniform.
"Now it's time for makeup" chimed Rarity.
When Rarity finished Rainbow had to admit that she looked cool and pretty, she had red, green, and yellow striped lightning bolts curved around the top parts of her eyes, each cut off with navy blue lightning bolts on the edge.
"Well, I better be off to Fluttershy's" said Rainbow.
"H-O-R-S-E, H-O-R-S-E, so many horses" sang Fluttershy.
"Awesome" said Rainbow as she listened to Fluttershy and her birds.
"Well it's 6 O'clock, we better get going" said Rainbow.
"I'm so proud of you, do ya' think you'll ace it" said AJ as she patted Rainbow on the head.
"Yeah, but I'm still kinda nervous" said Rainbow.
"Then your nervesited" said Pinkie as she jumped up and down.
Spitfire then walked up and interrupted, "We need you now Dashie, time for the show".
"See you guys later, I guess" Rainbow whimpered.
She had gone so fast that the wind blew her hair back like that of a Wonderbolt.
After the show the show they tried to fix Rainbow's hair.
"Not even my expertise can get it flat again" whined Rarity worridly.
"That's OK, I actually kinda like it" said Rainbow happily.
"Well, now we have no choice but to trim it" said Rarity.
"Well ya' did great out there Rainbow" said AJ, patting Rainbow on the head once more.
"Well, me and Rarity better get going" said Rainbow anxiously.
"How short do you want it" asked Rarity.
"However short it should be" replied Rainbow.
"Done" chimed Rarity.
"Thanks" said Rainbow as she flew out the door.
It was already midnight when Rainbow got home, so she grabbed a midnight snack and went strait to bed. She then had a nightmare.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash" said the mysterious voice in her dream.
"Who are you, show yourself" said Rainbow angrily.
"Don't worry, I'm here to save you "
"From what"
"Yourself"
"Huh, how"
"LIKE THIS" the voice said in a more demonic tone.
A light filled the empty room of her dream.
Rainbow sprung out of bed and looked at the clock, it was only three o'clock in the morning.
There would be a show every week on Tuesday, and this time it was in Manehaton. Rainbow went through the same routine as the previous week to get ready.
"Now, which song do you like" asked Fluttershy.
After a hour of listening to birds chirp, they chose "I knew you had hay bales".
"Hay bale, oh, oh, oh, oh, hay bale" Fluttershy sang.
"Okay, I planned all of your shows for the next year" said Twilight to Rainbow.
"Thanks, but you really didn't have to" said Rainbow.
"What? Are you crazy, yes, I had to" said Twilight as she gave Rainbow a big toothy grin.
"Show time guys" Spitfire interrupted.
"I better get going, bye guys" yelled Rainbow.
When Rainbow was landing, then BOOM! She did a sonic rainboom.
"That was beautiful, but did it really have to be so messy" whined Rarity, who had mixed feeling about what just happened.
"That was sparklrific" yelled Pinkie.
Then they noticed that Rainbow's coat was turning green.
"It's not coming off!" Said Rarity and Pinkie at the same time, as Pinkie dumped water on to Rainbow while Rarity scrubbed.
"There has to be some logical explanation for this" said Twilight in a worried tone while looking through books.
"What ever" said Rainbow as she wondered about why Twilight lives in a library.
"It's getting late, shouldn't we all go home" asked Fluttershy.
"You guys can go home" said Twilight as she pointed to Pinkie, Rarity, AJ, and Fluttershy, "but your going to stay here until I figure out what's wrong with your coat" she continued as she pointed to Rainbow.
As Rainbow went into the guest room she began to forget her way around the place, she forgot why Twilight lives in a library and moved to Ponyvile, she even forgot why Spike could talk and was assistant. Then she had another nightmare.
"The spell is getting stronger" said the mysterious voice.
"what spell" asked Rainbow.
"The one that's keeping you safe".
"I can defend myself".
"LIAR" yelled the voice in a demonic tone.
The room in Rainbow's dream burst into flames and light enveloped Rainbow.
Rainbow sprung out of bed with fear only to find Twilight checking up on her.
"Ahh! Oh, Twilight it's just you" said Rainbow.
"Why we're you screaming" asked Twilight.
"I had a nightmare".
"But Princess Luna would keep you safe from nightmares".
"Well, it definitely wasn't a good dream".
"Then I have no idea" said Twilight as she walked out the door.
Rainbow' s show was in the Crystal Empire this week, and song chosen this week was "Horses are active".
"I can feel it in my bones, welcome to the new age, to the new age, welcome to new age, to the new age, wooooah, whoooah, horses are active, horses are active..." they all sang happily, that is until Spitfire came up and shooed away the birds.
"Show time", she said sounding very annoyed.
Rainbow stayed in perfect synch with the other Wonderbolts until she had to do a sonic rainboom.
Instead of going with her friends Rainbow chose to go with the other Wonderbolts, while her eyes turned a deep shade of maroon.
"You guys are the best friends a mare can have, unlike those stupid elements of harmony jerks" said Rainbow to the other Wonderbolts and that was the last memory of the elements of harmony and the mane six for a little while.
Meanwhile, at the library...
"Where is she, where is she" yelled Twilight rapidly.
"Calm down Twi'" said AJ.
"Calm down, you calm down" said Twilight.
"Calm down darling, I bet she'll come any minute now" said Rarity.
"Twilight, stop it, you're wearing a groove in the floor" said Spike as he took note of the large ring she wore into the floor.
"Welcome home Rainbow Dash," said Spitfire in a sinister voice "here's your room" she continued as they walked into a room that looked much like the one in Rainbow's dreams.
Rainbow tucked herself into bed and had a longer nightmare than usual.
"The spell is almost complete".
"I told you last week, I can defend myself".
"The transformation is almost complete too".
"So your the cause my coat and eyes changing colors".
"Yes, but the spell prevents you from telling them".
"Who, you mean my friends?"
"Yes, now give me your mind".
"Huh, what do you mean" questioned Rainbow.
"THIS".
Rainbow's life flashed before her eyes. She was brain washed to be loyal to nopony but Spitfire. She didn't wake up this time and was sound asleep.
This week the show was in Ponyvile, Rainbow didn't go to anypony and just stayed with the Wonderbolts, so Fluttershy chose the song "We will ride you".
During the show, everypony had trouble finding Rainbow.
"Where is she" asked Twilight as she looked through a telescope.
"Ooh! Ooh!, I see her" Pinkie said excitingly, pointing to the light green Pegasus.
"Come on it's almost time for initiation" said Spitfire in a sinister voice as she watched Rainbow' s hair turn yellow and orange.
Rainbow was brain washed and said "At what time, master".
"Tomorrow night" replied Spitfire.
There was no dream tonight, just a party.
"Look at yourself, you look gorgeous" said Spitfire as she held a mirror in front of Rainbow.
"Are you sure you don't have the recipe Pinkie" said Twilight.
"Yes I'm absolutely, positively, super, duper, sure" replied Pinkie, then suddenly, Pinkie' s hair spiked up. "My Pinkie sense tells me that someponie's in trouble, probably Rainbow since we haven't heard from her in a little while" said Pinkie.
"Then let's go save her" said Twilight.
"Shouldn't we get some help".
"There's no time, I'll just leave Spike a note".
They were off to Rainbow's house.
A green glow emitted from Spitfire revealing a yellow unicorn that other wise looked just like the original Spitfire. "Let's get ready", said the unicorn.
When Twilight was done putting a cloud walking spell on Pinkie and got up there the house was abandoned.
"Where is she" said Twilight.
"Oh, oh, what about the Wonderbolts academy" said Pinkie happily.
"I bet that Spitfire is secretly a unicorn that makes every Wonderbolt look like her and disguises herself to look like a Pegasus" Pinkie said rapidly.
"That is possible Pinkie" replied Twilight as she kept the thought in mind.
Everypony stood in a formation, Rainbow stood in the middle, the other Wonderbolts stood around her with Spitfire looking directly at her. A blur of light enveloped Rainbow, when it dimed to reveal a Pegasus stallion that looked like a male version of Lightning Dust with maroon eyes, even her cutie mark became a storm cloud with a regular lighting bolt.
"We're here to save you!!" yelled Pinkie at the top of her lungs when they got there.
"Oh my gosh, Pinkie, you were right about Spitfire" said Twilight staring at the yellow unicorn.
"I found Rainbow" yelled Pinkie.
"Do I know you?" said Rainbow.
"Are you sure that's her?" questioned Twilight, who looked at the stallion.
"What's this" said Spike, as he picked up a letter that read:
Dear Spike,
Me and Pinkie have gone to rescue Rainbow from the Wonderbolts. If we're not back by the time you find this, please call for help. We're at the Wonderbolts academy.
-Twilight
"We came as fast as we could" said AJ.
"How can we get up there?" said Spike.
"I can cast a spell to make us stay on the clouds, I use it to deliver dresses" suggested Rarity.
"We're here t-" said Spike, cutting off in the middle of his sentence, shocked by the sight.
"Take this you Melanie".
"Ow".
"Boom".
"Uhg".
"Pow".
"Why".
"You might want to help us fight guys" said Twilight as she tried to get Spitfire.
Blood splattered from their cuts and scrapes. Spike burned away hair and uniforms, leaving ponies who have just been burnt grey, and he may have sent some hair and fabric to Princess Celestia on accident. They fought for hours.
"It's time to finish this" said Twilight when she finally tackled Spitfire.
"You fool, as if you can defeat me" said Spitfire.
"Really, because I think I just won" said Twilight, fore she stabbed Spitfire in the heart with her horn, right before she could get Twilight off of her.
There was a bright glow filling the room, and when it dimmed everypony lied there passed out in their original forms with their wounds healed, and in Spitfire's place was a pile off gold dust.
When they woke up they had no memory of their time as a Wonderbolt.
"What just happened " questioned Rainbow
"YougotputunderaspellbySpitfireandlookedcompletlydifferentandforgotaboutusbutthenTwighlightbrokethespell!" said Pinkie rapidly.
"Wow" replied Rainbow.
"It's good to have you back Rainbow" said everypony.
"What now" said Rainbow.
"Partay" said Pinkie.
On the way to Ponyvile the other ex-wonderbolts introduced themselves.
"Let's get this party started" said Pinkie as they danced the night away. The songs consisted of: "H-O-R-S-E" "I knew you had a hay bale" "I love rock and log" "Horses are active" "We will ride you" "Hay bale" And "Hoof braker"
"Keep it up DJ" said Pinkie.
They had unlimited chocolate cake, and wonderful games to play. They also made many new friends.
"Hey, how are the cup cakes Muffin" said Pinkie.
"Good, but my name's Derpy".
"OK Muffin".
Then Spike got a letter from Princess Celestia that read:
Dear Spike, Why did you send me burnt hair and fabric, I know it wasn't Twilight. Are you saying that I'm going bald and need a wig? -Sincerely, Princess Celestia
