“YES YES YES!!”

Rainbow Dash entered the boutique and screamed for joy, which strudel her friends. She began spinning around and back flipping with excitement. Her friends stood there and hopelessly confused about why she's so happy. Finally, Applejack spoke out first, “Good grief, Rainbow. Why are ya so hype up all of a sudden?”

“Because my month of probation is finally over! I can finally be done with cleaning after the Wonderbolts and resume performing with them!”

“Wait,” Twilight cut in, “they haven't been letting you perform with them ever since the incident last month?”

Rainbow Dash stopped dancing and answer,  “Well… yeah. But none of that matters, because I get to perform once again! YEAH!!"

“Darling,” Rarity interrupted her celebration, “have the Wonderbolts treated you fairly while you're with them?”

“Well…” Rainbow Dash rubbed her head before telling her friends about the Wonderbolts. “I mean they did make me clean after them every day. They kept laughing at me every time one of them said ‘Rainbow Crash.’ And this one time they pulled a prank on me by throwing  trash at me while I was asleep.”

“Sounds ta me that they're taking advantage of ya and disrespect ya,” Applejack said with disappointment.

“Oh come on Applejack! All of that was just random horse playing back at the academy. No harm done.”

“Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy asked with concern, “are you okay? You can tell us if the Wonderbolts are giving you a hard time. You could always be honest with us.”

“It's alright Fluttershy,” she says while rubbing the shy pony mane. “I’m not letting this ‘Rainbow Crash’ nonsense get into my head. Trust me, I have totally move on.”

Then, she flew to the door and spoke, “Now, could y’all excuse me while I head back to academy and rock with the Wonderbolts. See ya girls.” Finally, she exited the boutique and headed to the Wonderbolts academy.





Rainbow Dash landed on the platform of the floating academy and began marching towards the hanger. She stopped at the runway and looked both ways before crossing. She doesn't want to make the same mistake last time. She resumed calmly walking, until a voice strudel her, “HA! LOOK OUT!!”

She panicked and dashed to the other side. Sadly, she crashes through the brushes and stopped inside of a trash can again. As she crawled out of the trash, she found her fellow Wonderbolts laughing at her incident. She sighed in disgust and said, “Rookie mistake again.”

Then, Spitfire shoved her and laughed, “Ha! I can't believe you fall for that!”

“Wait what?!” She should've known that it was a trick, because she’d follow the rules and there was no pony around. “You guys trick me?”

“Yeah we did,” Soarin laughed at her. “Geez, you should have seen the look on your face when you crashed into that trash can… AGAIN!!"

“Yeah,” Fleetfoot laughed as well. “You are so gullible Crash!”

Rainbow lowered her head in embarrassment, until she rushed it up and yelled, “Ha! That wasn't cool guys! I could've gotten myself killed!”

“Geez,” Spitfire whined, “calm down Crash! It was just a prank. No harm done.” She began apologizing to her teammate, “Look we’re sorry, alright. The others talked me into it, even though I think you have been through enough pranked on for this weekend. If it make you feel better, we swear that we won't prank you anymore.”

Rainbow wasn't sure if she's telling the truth, but out of all the Wonderbolts Spitfire is the only one she could trust. She nodded her head and said, “Thanks Spitfire. That really means alot to me.”

“You're welcome Crash. Now, everypony let's head to the mess hall.”

As they were heading to the mess hall, Rainbow Dash shook the trash off of her and joined them. “Hey Spitfire,” she reported to the leader. “I have been practicing for the show in Canterlot. What position am I going to be in?”

“What are you talking about Crash? You're on probation! Which means no performing!”

“But the month is already up. Don't you remember.”

The leader rubbed her chin and trying to remember. “Oh yeah,” she shouted, “the month is up! I forgot!” She pay her attention back on the rainbow pony, “Yeah, I'm sorry Crash, but the show has been postponed to Sunday. I will give you the information and the technique on Saturday.”

“Well… alright then. At least, I’m not the maid anymore.”

“Yeah… about that…” Then, Soarin and Fleetfoot tossed the rainbow pegasus a mop and a bucket. “We need you to clean the bathroom, the locker room, cafeteria, and the bedroom by the end of the day.”

She was both shocked and confused about cleaning after her teammates again. Even though, her probation was finally over with. “How come I can't go training with you guys?”

“Sorry Crash, but we can't afford a janitor around here. You're the only right fit for the job.”

“But I don't under-”

“No butts Crash. There's a clang toilet with your name on it. Soarin really made a big one… again.” Everypony shook their head at Clipper and began leaving for practice. “Better get to it, Crash!”

After they've left her alone, Rainbow Dash was grew so much anger towards them, until she'd calm down. As she took a deep breath, she began mopping the floor. “Don't worry Dash,” she spoke to herself, “just calm down. Soon, you will get to perform with them again and they'll respect you once again. You're gonna rock this academy! Soon, they will call you ‘Rainbow Awesome Dash!”





The next day...

Rainbow Dash has woken up from her slumber. 
She was really tired from cleaning after the Wonderbolts again. She drawn her attention to the clock and immediately panic at the results. “11 AM,” she screamed, “I AM LATE FOR TRAINING!!"

She quickly dashed to the bathroom and washed her face furiously. Sadly, she skipped brushing her teeth and breakfast, then head to the doors. Suddenly, after she exited her mansion, she accidentally crashes into Derpy. She quickly gotten up and lifted her derp friend. “I'm so sorry Derpy,” she apologized. “I swear that I didn't see you there.”

“It's alright Rainbow Dash,” she nicely responded.

“Sorry, but I got no time to chat! I have to head to the Wonderbolts academy immediately!”

Before she could rushed to the academy, Derpy said with a confused look, “Why are you going there instead of Canterlot?”

“Because I have to-” She stopped herself and turned to her derp friend. “Wait? Why would I go to Canterlot? Did Princess Celestia asked me of something important?”

“Princess Twilight told me to get you, so you can make it to your performance with the Wonderbolts. Didn't they tell you that it was today?”

Then suddenly, Rainbow Dash was completely shocked by the unexpected events. Her face grew completely red and fire spark in her eyes. She roared in total rage, “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!” Finally, she dashed very fast towards Canterlot.





Rainbow Dash finally made it all the way to Canterlot, without being exhausted from flying. She began searching everywhere for the Wonderbolts, because she got a bone to pick with them. She immediately spotted them performing in front of thousands of ponies, including her friends and the princesses.

After they were done, the crowd loved their performances; even the princesses were pleased as well. While the audience cheered their name, the Wonderbolts waved as they were exiting the flight zone. Rainbow Dash waited for them to show up behind the crowds.

As they were passing by, each one of them were bragging about how good they were out there:

“Wow,” Misty Fly said, “those ponies really loved us out there!”

“Those ponies really love it when I did that flip,” Blaze shouted.

“I can't believe that many ponies went to see us,” High Winds surprised.”

“The Clipper have won again as always,” Soarin bragged.

“Oh yeah,” Fleetfoot cheered. “We really  impressed those pack house out there!”

“Alright,” Spitfire spoke. “I guess we could say another job well done!”

They all cheered at the same time, until Rainbow Dash interrupt their celebration. She trotted to them and says, “Well, well, well! If it isn't the backstabbing Wonderbolts! Here in Canterlot!”

The Wonderbolts were shocked by her appearance. Spitfire stood in front of her and demanded, “Crash! What in the hay are you doing here soldier?!”

Rainbow Dash shoved her face towards hers and talked back to her superior. “Don't play dumb with me! You jerks told me that the performance for Canterlot was postponed until Sunday! Unfortunately, one of my dearest friends came over to my house and told me that it is today! What do y'all got to explain this?!”

Spitfire drawn her attention to her fellow Wonderbolts for a moment until she telling the truth. “Alright Crash! Do you really wanna know why we lied to you?! It's because we don't want you to perform with us!”

The rainbow pegasus was completely shocked by the truth and began to grew unyielding rage. “What do you mean y’all don't want me to perform with you guys?!”

“Because you're a show hog Crash,” Soarin hurtfully explain. “Ever since you performed that last trick and try to steal the spotlight for yourself. You have a incredibly large ego Crash.”

“I'm a show hog! Looks to talking from a bunch of jerks who lied to me and didn't have the guts to tell the truth! I don't have a ego problem! If anypony it's you guys have a problem when I heard y’all bragging about how good you are!”

“I see what's going on here,” Fleetfoot open her big mouth. “You still hold grudges against all of those times we call you ‘Crash!’ No wonder why you're acting like a jerk Crash!”

“Do y’all even listen to yourselves?!” She sighed and shook her head in disappointment. “I should have known you guys would use me like this. And I should have expected from you three jerks,” she yelled at her three friends. “Mr. Clopper! Miss Slutfoot! And most importantly Miss Spitfu-”

“Watch your mouth Crash,” Spitfire interrupted her before revealing her true nickname. “You better check your temper tantrum. Look, we’re sorry that we lied to you. To make it up to you, we're going to perform again tomorrow and we’re going to let you get all the spotlight this time. Do you like the sound of that?”

Rainbow Dash was about to argue with her teammates some more, but she took a deep breath and sighs instead. “Fine,” she said while shaking her head. “But… if you guys lie to me again, then it's over.”

Spitfire turned to the other with a worry look on their faces. “We understand Cra- I mean Dash.” The rainbow pony slowly formed a smile as her teammates apologized to her. “Alright then, let's head back to the academy and start training for tomorrow.” 

The Wonderbolts were about to leave Canterlot, until the voice from the host echoed, “Wait a second, ladies and gentlecolt! It would appears that we have more entertainers!”

The news has drawn the attention of Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Wonderbolts. They all rushed to see what's going on. As they looking up at the sky, they have already spotted nine pegasus in the sky.

The nine flyers were soaring through the sky in three men rows. Then, three from behind exited from the group and began backed flipping. What amazes the audience the most was when they stopped, they form their own clouds. As they were bouncing on them, colorful raindrops were pouring from the clouds. Everypony, except the Wonderbolts, were amused by their special talent.

Then, three more flyers have just drilled through the clouds. The cloudmakers flown in front of the drillers and remain still. The three spinners were heading towards them, until the drill over them, without even looking. They stopped spinning and were skydiving, until they've landed on top of three other flyers, without causing them to stop soaring.

“Wow,” Rainbow Dash said with a impressed look on her face. “That was perfect!”

“Eh,” Spitfire whined, “no big deal.”

Finally, after the drillers jumped off the three flyers, they joined with the cloudmakers. Until, the three elites stop flapping their wings and went skydiving as well. They were coming down really fast towards the ground with their eyes shut. The gasps from the audience, whose are afraid that they will crash. Luckily, before crashing to the ground by a couple of inches, the elites flew yet again. They've stopped before the crowds and began flying after each other in circles, which formed a huge cloud.

For their final technique, the unknown performers regroup and perform their final act. They all headed towards the gigantic cloud and shoved it up to the sky. After they've separate themselves from the cloud, they charges towards it with brute force. As they've went through the monster, actual fireworks deployed out of the cloud.

After it was over, the nine stallions flew directly to the ground and formed a awesome poses. First, the cloudmakers landed upside down. Then, the drillers landed on top of their lower hooves. Lastly, the elites dashes towards the drillers, causing them to back flips. The elites slides across the platform and stopped with their wings held high.

After they were finally done, the crowd goes wild. Everypony were completely impressed by the unknown flyers amazing performance. Even the princesses themselves we're speechless. Rainbow Dash was surprised by their ending and only got one thing to say about it. “That… was… AWESOME!!!"

The host went from his broadcast to the platform and stood beside the group. He then spoke from his microphone, “Ladies and gentlecolt! We can all agree that they were completely amazin-”

Suddenly, the group leader stolen the microphone and shouted with excitement, “HELLO PONIES OF CANTERLOT!!” The audience were cheering for him. “I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY VERY OWN TEAMMATES!!”

The leader stood next to the cloudmakers and announced, “I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE RAINMAKERS!! BITSTREAM!! ACID STORM!! & SUNSTORM!!"

Then, he stood next to the drillers and announced, “NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE CONEHEADS!! THRUST!! DIRGE!! & RAMJET!!"

Finally, he stood next to the two elites and announced, “I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE ELITE FLYERS!! THUNDERCRACKER!! SKYWARP!! & I'M STARSCREAM!! AND WE ARE…”

The rest of them rushed to the microphone and shouted together, “THE SEEKERS!!!” After they've revealed their names, everypony among the crowd cheered for them. Rainbow Dash was amazed by their performances; they're even better than the Wonderbolts.

The Wonderbolts, on the other hand, were completely outrage by the unknown performers, for stealing their spotlight. “Alright,” Spitfire shouted in anger. “Who in the hay are these jerks?! And how dare they steal our act!”

Rainbow Dash interrupted their rage against the Seekers and give out her opinion, “Well, I think those guys are awesome out there. Besides, it looks like they've never stab each other in the back!”

“Would you please shut up about that,” Soarin whined. “Sometimes you’re so annoying Crash!”

“HA! Don't you ever tell me to shut up!”

“Yeah,” Fleetfoot agreed with her, “you shouldn't have said that. You should tell her to go crash into another trash can!”

“Why you no good c-”

“Watch it Crash,” Spitfire steps in front of the rainbow pony. “Look everypony just calm down! There's no need to trash talk each other while these hoggers are stealing our spot-”

“OH MY STARS!!”

A familiar voice disturbed their agreement with a simple greeting. They all turned and spotted the Seekers heading towards them. “I can't believe this,” Starscream surprised. “I can't believe that I am meeting the best flyer of all of Equestria! And she's standing right before me!”

Spitfire, who's completely flattered, responded nervously, “O-Oh! Well, I wouldn't call myself the best at all! But it meant a lot from a-”

“Move it flares,” Starscream yelled when he shoved their leader. He drawn his attention back at Rainbow Dash and resumed, “It's a great honor to meet you, Rainbow Dash.” He grabbed and kissed the pegasus hoof.

Rainbow Dash blushes as she drawn her hoof away from the gentlecolt. “O-Oh,” she said nervously, “It-It nice to me-meet you too.” She cleared her throat and resumed, “You guys were so awesome out there! How do y’all pull off those awesome tricks?”

An dark blue stallion, Dirge, wrapped his hoof around the mare and says, “If you want to know our tricks, then show us the gold.”

Starscream shoved his teammate aside and apologized, “Sorry for my foolish teammate, Rainbow Dash. I can't put a leash on these guys. Anyway, we had saw the Wonderbolts performance earlier, but we didn't see you with them. How come you didn't perform today?”

Rainbow Dash look back to her teammates and answer, “It's because I overslept last night. I woke up very late and miss out.”

The leader of the Seekers turned to his teammates and nodded at them. “Well,” he said to the rainbow mare, “I’m pretty sure the audience are begging for us to do an encore. Would you like to join us?”

Before she could reply to his offer, Spitfire separate the two of them and spoke for her, “Sorry pal, but she's far too busy to join you guys.”

“HA,” the rainbow pegasus yelled. “What if I want to join those awesome stallions?! Besides, I didn't get a chance to perform, so maybe I should do with these guys!”

Then suddenly, everypony began arguing with each other. Until, Starscream came up with a brilliant idea. He headed out on stage and march towards the host. As everypony were applauding for his appearance, the host spoke, “Oh! Hello mister Star-”

Starscream grabbed the host microphone as he shoved him aside. He turned to the crowd and shouted, “HELLO EVERYPONY!! DO ALL OF YOU WANT AN ENCORE?!!” Everypony cheered and shouted for joy, which means that they want more. “ALRIGHT WE ARE GONNA GIVE YOU ALL THE BIG ONE!! BUT FIRST DO YOU ALL WANT US TO DO ANOTHER ONE WITH… RAINBOW DASH!!!”

Meanwhile, the group of pegasus stopped arguing after Starscream mentioned the rainbow pony name. Then, the crowd cheered for Rainbow Dash to join them. An white Seeker, Ramjet, pushed her to the others Seekers and they brought her to the stage. “Looks like Rainbow Dash wants to join us than you jokes,” he mock the Wonderbolts and joined the others.

As she trotted with the Seekers, Rainbow Dash was being cheered by thousands of ponies. Her modification was faded, because she doesn't know what they're performing. She stood next to their leader and asked, “What are we going to perform? Me and the Wonderbolts always practice for our performance. I don't know what to do-”

“Hush,” Starscream covered her lips with his hoof. He leaned to her ear and whispers, “Just do what you wanna do. You can do whatever you want.”

They moved to their positions and waited for orders from Starscream. He yelled, “LET'S GO!!” They all flew to the sky at the same time and follow the ring leader. They began to fly horizontally around like they're forming a tornado. When Rainbow Dash flew next to the leader, he whispered to her ear again, “When I give the signal, just do whatever you want to pull.” The rainbow mare was confused, but she nodded to him.

Then, they separated from each other and began spinning around like a twister. Rainbow was focusing on staying balance as she was spinning really fast. Finally, Starscream shouted to her, “NOW!!"

After receiving the signal, Rainbow Dash separate herself from the Seekers and perform her own technique. First, she dashes in front of the audience repeatedly. Next, she show off by trotting joyful through the runway while speeding. Then, she flew very high, skydive very fast towards the crowd, but quickly pulled a curve above them. Finally, she's going to perform her big ultimate technique, the Sonic Rainboom.

As she was taking some distance from the crowd of ponies, she heard a whistle from the Seekers. After she had turned to them, she found the elites and the coneheads formed a circle for her to go through. The rainbow pegasus nodded at them and began backing up.

She took a deep breath and tried to focus on her velocity and momentum of her ultimate trick. Then, she gave everything she got to release a maximum speed. Rainbow is trying to break through the sonic barrier before going through the others. Finally, she have released her ultimate Sonic Rainboom in front of thousands.

As her speed increases two times, Rainbow Dash went through the pony circle, without scattered it. The rainmakers releases colorful rains in front of her. After she'd went through the rain, the raindrops began to follow the speeding rainbow. Finally, the rainbow mare smoothly landed on the platform as raindrops made contact with the back of her head, which formed a rainbow above her.

After the rest of the stallions landed next to the mare, everypony in Canterlot went wild for their performance. They all cheered everyone of their names. Then, Starscream lifted Rainbow Dash left hoof and shouted, “GIVE IT UP FOR THE BEST FLYER OF ALL EQUESTRIA!!” The rest of the audience cheered her name repeatedly. The rainbow pony wrapped her hoof around the leader and waved to the ponies. Finally, as tears of joy was running down the mare face, she drawn the leader to her and began nuzzling him.

> The Gentle Seekers 
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moon shines bright throughout Canterlot as the amazing performance of the Seekers was over. As everypony were leaving to get home, Rainbow Dash was hanging out with the awesome flyers. She was really touched by the stallions for letting her to perform with them.

“...And that's why we became the Seekers,” Starscream was telling a story about how the Seekers was formed.

“That sounds like an amazing backstory,” Rainbow Dash impressed.

“Indeed,” Thundercracker added. “If it wasn't for my brains, then the Seekers would've never be brought together. That's why I held an important piece of our team.”

“Actually,” Sunstorm corrected him, “it was the one and only Starscream who brought us together and become an unstoppable team!”

“No big deal,” Thrust whined, “anyone can form a team on their own! Starscream isn't special!”

“Ummm,” Skywarp spoke nervously. “I could've formed our team, if I wasn't afraid of leading.”

“Leading doesn't gain the upper power,” Dirge added. “Only the one who possess the gold's gain control!”

“Actually,” Bitstream explains, “money doesn't control everything. Of course, the money will tricks and pulls in others to do the host betting. However, if the host ran out of cash, then-”

“Blab, blab, blab,” Acid Storm interrupt him. “We all know how money works, egghead! No need to explain it to us, dorkin stain!”

“Oh please,” Ramjet shouted. “You morons are missing the big picture… we all agree that I should be the leader.”

The other seven looked at each other and responded, “No we didn't.”

“Yes, y’all did.”

“No we didn't.”

“Yes, y’all did!”

“No we didn't.”

Yes, y’all did!”

Rainbow was confused about what they were doing and turned to the leader for information. “Deeply sorry,” Starscream apologized to the pegasus. He turned to his men and yelled, “ENOUGH!! NOT IN FRONT OF A PROFESSIONAL!!”

He sighs in embarrassment and calmed in front of the pegasus. “I must apologize, Rainbow Dash. I just can't control these hooligans. They've always been acting like children. And I’m the big daddy, always watching over them.”

“It's fine,” Rainbow accepted it. “Sometimes everypony always have to act like a little filly. Even some of my friends act so crazy.”

“I’m pretty sure none of them are like these yahoos. Each one of them have one word that define their personality.”

“Right,” Rainbow hardly believes that. “I don't believe you can use one word that'll describe your boys.”

“Alright, I'll show you then.” Starscream turned his attention back to his teammates and began. “Skywarp is a coward. Thundercracker is a egomaniac. Sunstorm is a bootlicker. Bitstream is a nerd. Acid Storm is a jerk. Dirge is greedy. Thrust is jealous. And Ramjet is a liar.”

“HA I'M NOT,” Ramjet cried.

Rainbow Dash was surprised by Starscream perfect description of his men. “Wow,” she said, “that was impressive. However, what's in one word that describes you?”

“Well,” he whined. “I don't like to brag, but I consider myself as the leader. Mostly, some consider me as the handsome.”

“Right,” she laughed as she rolled her eyes.

“Alright, now it's your turn. What's in one word that describes you?”

“Well, I consider myself as the awesomeness. But other would use loyal.”

“That is what I believe. I mean you're the element of loyalty by the way.”

“Thanks. I appreciate that.”

“Greetings Seekers,” a royal voice spoke. The rest of them turned and found three princesses approach before them. Rainbow Dash and the rest of the flyers bowed before them.

“Hello,” Starscream greeted. “It's a great honor to meet you majesties. Princess Cadance. Princess Luna. And most importantly Princess Celestia.” He stood up, trotted towards the princess of the sun, and kissed her hoof.

“Oh,” Princess Celestia blushes. “The feeling is mutual. I do say you and your men put on quite a performance. But y’all last performance with Rainbow Dash was spectacular. I have never known she was with your group.”

“Actually,” Rainbow Dash cut in, “your majesty. I'm not with their team. I'm with the Wonderbolts.”

“But how do y'all train for that amazing performance earlier,” Princess Cadance asked.

You see-”

“We let her do whatever she wants and we followed her technique,” the leader finish for the pegasus. “I know it may sound risky, but it was worth it.”

“Nevertheless, it was amazing,” Celestia congratulate them either way.

“We presume thous are attending the dinner party for tomorrow night,” Princess Luna informed.

“There's a dinner party,” Skywarp nervously spoke. “But no pony told-”

“Yeah,” Ramjet covered the coward mouth and lied, “a dinner party for tomorrow night. We totally know about it. Just letting you wonderful majesties know.”

“Indeed,” Starscream agreed with the liar. “Don't you worry, your majesties. We will be there.”

“Splendid,” Princess Celestia said. “We will be looking forward to seeing you all there. Good night, my royal subjects.”

The Seekers took their final bow to the princesses and began marching off. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, rushed to the princess of the sun and asked, “Princess Celestia! I hope you're going to look forward to me and Wonderbolts tomorrow. I swear I will be here on time.”

The princess turned toward attention to the young pegasus and was confused about what she's talking about. “What do you mean, Rainbow Dash?”

“You know… The Wonderbolts are going to perform again tomorrow. You do know that right?”

“I'm sorry young pony, but I haven't received any news about the Wonderbolts performing again. I had heard that they were going to perform for the day… not two.”

“What?” She tilted her head and was hopelessly confused about what's going on. Spitfire told her that they were going to perform again, but she lied to her instead.

“Are you alright Rainbow Dash,” Celestia worried asked the young pony.

“Yea-Yes your majesty. I'm fine.”

“Well then… have a pleasant good night, my little pony.”

“You too, Princess Celestia.”

After the princess left her, Rainbow Dash was so angry over another white lie from her own teammate. Out of all of the Wonderbolts, she trusted Spitfire the most. She's like a big sister to her, but she lied to her.

Suddenly, a shout grabbed the rainbow flyer attention, “CRASH!!” She turned around and spotted her backstabbing boss, Spitfire. “What in the hay were you thinking about joining those jerks,” she demanded her.

“What do you mean,” the rainbow pony asked. “I didn't get a chance to perform and the Seekers were just a bunch of gentlecolts who wants me to perform with them. Unlike you backstabbers.”

“We've already said that we were sorry about lying to you.”

“Oh, it's not just that. I spoke to Princess Celestia a while ago and she said that the Wonderbolts aren't performing tomorrow! So, do you got anything to explain why you lied to me… again?!”

Then, Spitfire formed a nervous look on her face as she was sweating. “Is there something going on that I shouldn't know,” she growled.

The leader sighed in defeat and confused her sin, “I’m so sorry, Dash. The dinner party was a surprise honor about you joining the Wonderbolts. We've been planning for this for weeks, but now you know.”

The young flyer was surprised by the secret dinner for her honor. Rainbow gasps and apologize to her leader, “I’m so sorry Spitfire! I-I’m just so mad about-”

“It's alright Dash,” she cut her off. “I shouldn't have lied to you. All I wanted to surprise you for the party tomorrow. Can you act surprise for it tomorrow night?”

“I tried my best,” she laughed.

“Thanks Dash. Now, I'm pretty sure you want to go celebrate with your friends. Go on and have an awesome time! That's an order soldier!”

She saluted and yelled, “YES MAM!!” Finally, the elite flyers went off and head back home.

After the mares had left the area, Starscream and his minions were lacking in the shadows and overheard their conversation. “I ain't buying any of that touching story,” Starscream angrily said. “I believe those amateurs are deceiving her.”

“But we can't prove that,” Sunstorm said, “your worshipfulness. How are we going to find evidence if they're playing her, your greatness?”

Ramjet bump the kiss up behind the head and shouted, “UH HELLO!! We just have to go over to their precious base and snoop through their stuff until we found some heat.”

“But we don't know where they keep their files!”

“Then we just need to search through their offices and lockers until we found any negative reviews about Rainbow Dash.”

“How do you know so much of these informations?”

“Well, I was a number one professional theft.”

“Okay,” Starscream complain, “one you're lying about this.” He then congrats the liar, “And two not a bad idea, Ramjet. You and Sunstorm will break into their academy and search for anything that will make Rainbow to leave those losers.”

“Why am I stuck with this dork,” he whined.

“Just do it! And make sure you two rendezvous in the forest. Make sure no one see what you're doing. Got it?!” Finally, they both saluted and began headed to the Wonderbolts academy.





The next day…

At the boutique, Rarity was helping her friends to pick out some dresses for the dinner party tonight. They were so excited for Rainbow Dash being noticed as a Wonderbolt. As they were waiting for their dresses, they cheered for the pegasus about her performance from yesterday. “That was some amazing performance ya did yesterday Rainbow,” Applejack encourage her friend.

“Ya,” Pinkie shouted, “you were extremely absolutely positively amazingly super duper absolutely- no wait I've already said that! You were duper super- no I said that backwards! You-You-”

“You were amazing darling,” Rarity interrupted the random pony breakdown.

“Yeah that!”

“Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy spoke, “you were spectacular out there. I was absolutely stunned by that Rainboom you pull.”

“I can't believe those Seeker guys were so generous about letting you to perform with them,” Starlight added.

“Those guys are so awesome,” Rainbow Dash said. “I am glad that they're the first whose be a part of my awesome Sonic Rainboom! You're right Starlight; they're so nice. And I gotta say those stallions are gentlecolts… well some of them.”

“You know us guys,” Spike interrupted, “we always wanted to impress the ladies.” The mares wasn't impressed by his smooth talk and thrown an unamused looks, causing the baby dragon to walk away while giggling.

“Anyway,” Twilight spoke up, “what happened between you and the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash? Won't you supposed to perform with them yesterday?”

Rainbow groans from that ridiculous moment and answer, “It was completely stupid! The Wonderbolts lied to me about that! They told me that the show was postponed until Sunday! The reason why they lied to me, because that I’m a show hog! Even though, they were showing off backstage after their performance!”

“I'm sorry to hear that Rainbow. Are you and the Wonderbolts alright now or not?”

“Yeah, we're cool. I was totally chill out after my nasty argument with them… Well, you know. After the Seekers let me go performing with them.”

“Speaking of Seekers,” Applejack grinned at her friend, “ah see ya nuzzling with that Starscream fella!”

“So,” the mare said as she was blushing.

“So, are ya two a thing?!”

“WHAT,” Rainbow yelled. “Come on Applejack! Don't be ridiculous! I just met the guy, so don't come up with conclusions!”

“Oh come on Dash. There's no reason to keep ya feelings a secret.”

“Indeed,” the fashion mare agreed. “You can admit that you like that handsome stallion, darling.”

“ALRIGHT,” the young pegasus yelled, “WHERE DID THIS CONVERSATION BEEN TAKEN TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL?!! WOULD YOU GIRLS STOP ACTING SO RIDICULOUS?!!”

Finally, they were silent and ended the argument between their friend and the seeker. Until, Pinkie turned and whispered to the fourth wall, “She totally loves Starscream.”

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and asked Rarity, “So, is our dresses ready yet?”

“I just want to know what type of style y’all want on your dresses,” Rarity inform them. “You Rainbow Dash?”

“Ummmm…” She was thinking for a while and then finally came up with a perfect dress. “Can you fix the dress I wore from the first gala we went?”

“Of course, darling! And the rest of y’all?”

“Just surprise us Rarity,” Twilight speak on behalf of the others.

“Splendid! I’ll get right on it!”





Meanwhile, in the Everfree Forest, Ramjet and Sunstorm was trotting through the wilderness. As they were wondering, the kiss up Seeker was moraling to the liar. “I'm just saying,” he said. “You totally reminded me of Starscream. You talk like him, you act like him, you're evil like him, and you're deceitful like him! Maybe you will be the leader of the Seekers someday!”

“How do I get stuck with you as my partner,” Ramjet whined.

“Oh come on! You know you love hanging out with me! Admit it!”

“Yeah I totally love being your partner buddy,” he lied.

“I knew it,” Sunstorm cheered. Until, he thought that Ramjet was lying. “Wait what-”

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Starscream grabbed the two idiots and shoved them up against a boulder. “Tell me what I like to heard,” he demanded.

“Uhhhhhh, everyone thinks you're cooler than Autobot Jazz!”

“Yeah and you're a way better leader than Megatron,” Ramjet lied.

He tossed the two of them to the ground and yelled, “NOT THAT!!” Then, he rubbed his chin and said, “Although, I do love hearing that, but that's not the point! Do you two got any information about those stupid Wonderbolts?!”

“Well,” Sunstorm explained, “we checked through their files to find any heats, but they're only fell with kiss up junks about Rainbow Dash.”

“So,” Ramjet finished for him, “we break into their lockers and found some juicy stuff about what they really feel about her!”

“How juicy,” the leader asked while rubbing his chin.





It's night time…

The mare friends are heading to the dinner party in their royal chariot. Their driver was not other than Spike, the baby dragon. They were all excited for their pegasus friend big break and respect from her fellow Wonderbolt teammates. Although, Rainbow Dash was pretty nervous along the way to Canterlot.

Finally, her friends notice her behavior and helped with her nervousness. “Are ya alright sugarcube,” Applejack concerned. “Ya acting pretty weird ever since we left Ponyville.”

“Oh,” Rainbow Dash surprised. “Nothing is wrong with me. I'm just excited to get noticed as a Wonderbolt is all. You know since only a few ponies already know I am.”

“Rainbow Dash,” Twilight curious, “what's really going on with you?”

She sighed in defeat and admitted what's wrong, “I’m just nervous about if certain someone, who's totally awesome and all, would might loved this dress is all.”

Then, they all knew who she's talking about and giggles with excitement. “I KNEW IT!! YOU LIKE STARSCREAM!!”

“What,” the rainbow mare gasps while she blushes. “No way! I wasn't talking about him! I was talking about… Soarin, or… Spitfire!”

“Don't deny it darling,” Rarity laugh. “You're in love with Starscream! Ooooh, how adorable is this!”

“Seriously Rarity! Like I said... I don't like the guy alright! I already know that he's an awesome flyer and very professional and all, but I don't like him that way.”

“Fine fine. Just letting you know that if grabbed his attention, just toss your hair back and forth then continue walking pass him.”

“I'm not doing that… period!” After she'd ended the conversation, she whispered to herself, “Thanks Rarity. I knew I could count on-”

“What was that darling?”

“Nothing!”





Meanwhile, in front of the entrance to the Canterlot Castle, Starscream and the rest of the Seekers were trotting inside. They were all wearing the same tuxedos, so they can dress politely for the dinner party. While they were walking inside, they were arguing with each other.

“SO,” Acid Storm whined to his boss, “when are we going to tell those losers secrets to that stupid mare!”

“Patience you fool,” Starscream response. “We will tell her in due time.”

“You're really are the wisest than all of us,” Sunstorm kissed up to his master. “That's why you're the leader of the Seekers.”

“But he isn't the charming one among us,” Thundercracker bragged.

“Thank you Cracker,” Ramjet accepted his compliment. “That really meant alot to me.”

Thrust sighs in frustration and yelled, “It always has to be something with you guys! I always hated when you all bragging about how good you are!”

“And how come we didn't get paid for our spectacular performance yesterday,” Dirge whined.

Starscream cried in anger and yelled, “EVERYTIME YOU IMBECILES KEEP DOING THIS MAKES ME WANT TO MURDER MYSELF!!”

Finally, the others calmed down and obey their boss. The leader sighed and calmed as well. “We will tell that pegasus sooner or later. Until then, we shall act cool and never reveal our dirty little secret. Got it?!”

The Seekers nodded to their superior and obey. “Good. Now-”

“Well,” Princess Celestia greeted the flyers, “greetings Seekers.” They quickly turned their attention to the princess and bowed before her. “I'm so glad you all make it to the party.”

“Thank you your majesty,” Starscream greeted to the princess of the sun. “We wouldn't miss this for the world.”

“I'm glad to hear that. I hope everyone of you will have a good time.”

“Thank you Princess Celestia. We will.”

Then, an chariot has arrived in front of the castle. An servant stood in front of it and shouted to everyone, “Announcing the arrival from Ponyville! Princess Twilight Sparkle! And the Elements of Harmony!”

After the door has been opened, Twilight and the others stepped out and trotted inside. As they were entering, Princess Celestia welcomed them, “Hello Twilight. I'm glad you and your friends arrived to the dinner party.”

“Thank you Princess Celestia,” Twilight greeted her teacher. “I'm just glad that my friend is being treated fairly.”

“Well,” Starscream welcome Twilight and her friends as well, “hello your majesty.” He grabbed the princess of friendship hoof and kiss it. “I'm so glad to finally get a chance to meet you. I heard a lot about you and your adventures with your friends.”

“O-Oh,” she blushes and calmed, “Thank you Mister Starscream. It's a honor to meet you as well. Sorry I haven't says this before, but you and your men performance from yesterday was outstanding.”

“Why thank you, your majesty. And I can see you and your friends looks absolutely beautiful. However, where's Rainbow Dash?”

Twilight turned around and look for her, until she spotted her friend trotted inside. “Oh, there she is now.”

When the leader of the Seekers spotted her, his eyes widen by the pegasus shine of beauty. His mouth hang open by her cloud theme cape. Starscream is completely paralyzed by Rainbow Dash awesome dress and appearance. Then, each of his men compliment her wonderful presence:

“Sh-Sh-She's beautiful,” Thrust gasps.

“Oh my gosh,” Thundercracker surprised.

“She’s perfect,” Sunstorm whispers.

“Sh-Sh-Sh-She's looks absolutely lovely,” Ramjet said without lying.

“WHAT IS HAPPENING,” Bitstream screamed because he's blind by her beauty.

As Rainbow Dash was following her friends to dinner, she was confused about the weird looks on the Seeker faces towards her. When she drawn near to Starscream, the rainbow pegasus tossed her mane back and forth while walking pass him. After the mares entered the dining room, the leader of the Seekers smiles by the young flyer interest in him.





Rainbow Dash and her friends made their way through the crowds and found their table. After her friends sat down, she immediately spotted her teammates wearing their jerseys. The rainbow pony informed her friends, “Ha girls, I’m gonna go hang out with my teammates. You know… letting everypony know that I'm a Wonderbolt!”

"Go ahead Rainbow," Starlight spoke on behalf of the rest. "This is your night, remember. Just enjoy your time."

"Thanks girls!" After her friends waved goodbye to her, Rainbow Dash trotted to her teammates. “What's up guys,” she greeted her teammates.

Spitfire was about to respond, until she eyed Rainbow Dash dress. She harshly grabbed the mare and growled, “Crash! What the hay are you wearing?! You were supposed to wear your jersey!”

“Nopony told me that I need to wear my jersey. I thought this dress would be good for this party.”

“We Bolts always wear our jerseys to dinner! Now, you're making us look bad. Way a go ruining our repatation, Crash!”

“Look! I don't care-”

“Just shut up and seat your flank down!”

Rainbow then grunted in anger as she sat next to Soarin. She turn her head around and watched her friends enjoying themselves. Suddenly, she spotted the Seekers making their way to their dinner table. The young flyer smile at them, until her boss bump her in the head. “What was that for,” she cried.

“Act professional, Crash!”

“Maybe you shouldn't act like a total jerk,” she mumbled to herself.

“What do you say, Crash?!”

“Wow Spitfire,” Blaze interrupted her boss, “do you really need to be so negative right now?”

“Yeah,” Fleetfoot agreed, “we're at a party remember. Just play cool.”

The leader took a deep breath and apologized, “Yeah. I'm sorry Rainbow Dash. I don't know what came over me.”

“Well,” Rainbow Dash said, “apology accepted. Either you're mad at me for not wearing my jersey or… you're just jealous of my awesome dress.”

Spitfire tilted her head and laughed, “Maybe.”

After they were calmed down, Soarin passed the rainbow pony an apple pie. “Here you go Crash,” Soarin said. “I’ve saved this pie just for you. Consider this as an apology for acting like a jerk to you.”

“That's really sweet of you,” Rainbow Dash flattered. “And I would like to have this pie.”

“Well, as long that you're happy-”

Suddenly, Soarin shoved his face into her pie, causing scattered creams on Rainbow dress. As the stallion slowly drawn his face away from the treat, he noticed that the mare is completely enrage. “What the buck Clopper,” she yelled. “What was that about?!”

“I-I-I don't know what happened? I didn't mean to-”

“Oh saved it! You also ruined my favorite dress!”

“Here I’ll lick off the mess,” Soarin insisted.

Before he could lick her dress, Rainbow Dash pushed him away from her. “Haven't you done enough,” she yelled at him.

“Here Crash,” Spitfire helped her friend, “let me clean your dress.” She grabbed some napkins and rubbed the stains away.

To make matters worse, Misty Fly was passing by Rainbow Dash with a cup of cider in her hoof, until she accidentally spilled it all over her dress. While the rainbow pony was soaking wet, everypony, except her friends and the princesses, were laughing at her. Before the Wonderbolts could apologize to her, the rainbow pony rushed outside with tears in her eyes. 

Spitfire turned her attention to both Soarin and Misty Fly and formed an angry look. “What were you two thinking,” Spitfire yelled at them. “We all agreed to respect her during dinner.”

“I don't know what happened,” Misty Fly said. “I was just passing by with my drink, until some force just shoved it towards Crash.”

“Poor Crash,” Soarin said while lowering his head. “I didn't mean to upset her.”

“Well,” Spitfire spoke, “I hope she'll be alright.”





Rainbow Dash stood alone on the balcony, sobbing over the incident occurred earlier. She actually believes that the Wonderbolts would turn over a new leaf for her. Sadly, they still disrespect her no matter what.

Suddenly, her tears ended when an unexpected tornado was formed around her. After the whirlwind ended, Rainbow Dash dress was dry from the spill. Then, she found Thrust formed the wind and landed next to Starscream and Skywarp. She was surprised by their appearances on the balcony.

“Thank you so much Thrust,” Starscream patted his men.

“Whatever,” Thrust rudely respond and left them.

“You're welcome for drying up your wonderful dress,” he said to the mare.

“Thanks,” Rainbow said, “but it still smells like cider.”

“No problem.” The leader turned to the coward flyer and says his name, “Skywarp!”

“Yes sir,” he replied. Skywarp then rushed to the rainbow pony and sprayed some perfume around her dress, until the odor fades away. After he was finished, he took a gentle bow and trotted inside.

Starscream marched toward her and smell the given perfume. He moaned the smell and says, “You smell like a bag of roses.”

As she's blushing, Rainbow Dash was curious about what's the gentlecolt is up to. “Thank you,” she accepted his compliment. “But why did you want your men to do those things for me?”

“Because this is your big night, my dear. I hated to see your tears running down your beautiful face. I just want to give you the time of your life.”

The mare pegasus just stood there and didn't say anything else. Until, she thrown herself and hugged Starscream for his encouragement. The leader of the Seekers wrapped his arms around the young pony as well. Then, they both began nuzzling each other.

Finally, after they've separated, Starscream grabbed her hoof and spoke, “May we head back inside, my lady?”

“We shall,” she answered.

Before they trotted inside, Starscream held out his right leg towards the mare and she wrapped her left leg around his. As they have entered the dining room, Rainbow Dash noticed that her friends were all amazed by how she and Starscream are together. Sadly, she spotted her teammates wasn't pleased about her being with the Seekers. 

After they've stopped at the Seekers table, Sunstorm was ever so kindly enough to pull out two seats for his boss and the rainbow pony. As Rainbow Dash sat down, she noticed that the other stallions eyes were sparkly by her presence. “You look absolutely radiating,” the kiss up stallion said.

“Indeed,” Skywarp agreed, “you look so pretty, Rainbow Dash.”

“You're more beautiful than the sun itself,” Bitstream added.

“It's like looking in a mirror,” Thundercracker bragged. “I mean if I was a mare.”

“You're like a billion bits,” Dirge added.

“That's so sweet of you guys,” Rainbow Dash said while blushing. “I bet you colts said that to a bunch of mares.”

“To be honest,” Starscream cut in, “you're the most beautiful pegasus in Canterlot-No! In the entire Equestria.”

The rainbow mare smiled and started to nuzzle next to the gentlecolt. She really appreciate the kindful compliments from the Seekers, except for Ramjet and Thrust. However, she didn't notice Acid Storm appearance among the Seekers.

Then suddenly, their connection was interrupted by a nervous voice from behind, “Um, Rainbow Dash?” The mare turned around and spotted Soarin, rubbing his back head.

“Soarin,” Rainbow Dash confused. She crossed her hooves and drawn an angry look. “What do you want? Are you here to smash pie on my dress again?!”

“No. And I am so sorry for that earlier. I just want to ask you for a dance. I heard they're going to put on some dancing music soon. Do you want to dance with me?”

Rainbow Dash was surprised by the stallion offer and was touched as well. “Oh! W-Well… I wasn't expecting this to happen… I mean yes. I would love to dance with you, Soarin.”

“Thanks Dash! I look forward to seeing you on the floor.” He gave her a wink before he left.

The rainbow flyer blushes and giggles a little bit. She calmed herself and act professional in front of the Seekers. “Sorry about that,” she apologized. “You fellas won't mind if I join my teammate on the dance floor.”

“Not at all my dear,” Starscream insists. “This is your night. Enjoy yourself, for Pete sake.”

“Thanks guys.”

When the music started, most of the ponies began a couple dancing. Before Rainbow Dash was about to enter the dance floor, the leader of the Seekers drawn her in and whispers, “Remember to perform a dramatic entrance. Do a electric slide across the dance floor.”

After she'd nodded at Starscream, Rainbow Dash did an electric slide through the dance floor and pointed at Soarin among the Wonderbolts. Due to her stunt, everypony stop what they were doing and stared at the rainbow pony. She's waiting for the stallion to join her, but he just sat there with a confused look on his face. “SOARIN,” she whispers angrily. 

Soarin was completely confused about what she's talking about and shook his head. “Heh,” Fleetfoot laughed, “lame move there, Rainbow Crash!”

Then, everypony, including the Wonderbolts, laughed at the rainbow pegasus for her stunt and nickname. Even her closest friend, Spitfire, laughed at her as well. Rainbow Dash did nothing but lowered her head in embarrassment.

Suddenly, she was swoop off her hooves by Starscream and welcome her into a dance. Everypony stopped laughing and was surprised by this unexpected event. Rainbow Dash lifted up her head to her dancer and smiled. “Hello ma petit chou-fleur,” Starscream said.

“You know French,” she asked.

“Uhhhh… A little bit.”

Finally, Starscream and Rainbow Dash began dancing to the tango song. They locked hooves together as they marched across the dance floor back and forth. He spins the mare around for ten seconds and lean her over while grabbing hold of her body.  As they resumed dancing back and forth, they're having a conversation.

“I can see that the Wonderbolts haven't changed a bit,” Starscream said.

“Yeah,” Rainbow Dash agreed. “I should've known that they would always disrespect me. Sadly, I wasn't expecting Soarin and Spitfire to do this to me.”

“Well, we Seekers would never do just a thing to you if you're on our team. We will always treat our female members top respect.”

“You really mean that-

“TRADE PARTNER!!”

Then, he shoved Rainbow Dash to Ramjet and began dancing. As the liar was dancing with the mare, “You know Rainbow Dash. I want you to know that I don't like you dress and you don't look pretty,” he lied.

The rainbow flyer giggle and laughed, "That's really sweet of you, Ramjet. I know you're lying.”

“I'm telling the truth, Dash. You don't look beautiful and your dress doesn't match your personality.”

“Well, I really appreciate it.” She leans in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, causing the liar to blush. 

Suddenly, Ramjet stopped dancing and just froze still by paralyzed from the kiss. Rainbow Dash was giggling from the Seeker reaction to her kiss. Starscream, on the other hand, swoop in and reclaim his dancing partner. Thundercracker and Sunstorm stepped in and carry the statute colt to their table.

As they resumed dancing, the leader of the Seekers laugh at his men embarrassment. “You know that was Ramjet first kiss,” Starscream informed his partner.

“Really,” Rainbow Dash surprised, “I thought you guys gets all the mares?”

“Actually, my dear, we just got famous yesterday. But enough chatting. Lets just dance.”

They both spin around for a couple of seconds and wrapped their hooves around each other. As Rainbow Dash let go and dropped herself down, Starscream quickly grabs her lower back. After he had grabbed her, she raised her upper hooves and lifted her lower left leg. 

Rainbow Dash shoved her dancer away from her. Before Starscream rushed to the mare, he was stopped by the pegasus mane tail. She lifted her tail up and stopped at the stallion face. She quickly turned around, pushed her partner, and grabbed him at his lower back. The young flyer watch and giggles as her partner was blushing.

Finally, Starscream separated and carry his partner as they were twirling around. To impress the crowd, the Seeker tossed the mare to the air and rushed above. Then, they both did a slow motion backflip and their bodies smoothly touching each other. Their big finish, Rainbow Dash let go and fell to the ground, with the gentlecolt waiting below to grab her. After he grabbed the flyer, they spin around and hold each other in their hooves.

The audience was speechless from their performance and started to applaud. As the two performers were waving to the crowd, Rainbow Dash can see her friends cheering for her amazing dance moves. Sadly, her teammates wasn't please with her performance with Starscream. 

Starscream tapped the mare shoulder and whispered to her ear, “Can you meet me in garden alone?”

Rainbow Dash smiles and nodded to him, “I would love to.”





After getting through the adoring audience, Rainbow Dash and Starscream sat next to each other in the garden. They nuzzles next to each other as they both stared at the moon. Thanks to the gentlecolt, the grateful pegasus has a wonderful time tonight.

“Rainbow Dash,” Starscream says to the mare, “it was a mighty honor to spend this wonderful night with you. You're the most awesomeness mare I’ve ever met.”

“That's sweet of you Starscream,” the rainbow pony said while blushing. “Without you, this night would've been a total wreck.”

“Please! I am sure your friends would've comfort you from those naughty Wonderbolts.”

“Let's not mention those guys. I just want this moment between us never end.”

He was about to remain quiet and comfort the daring pony, until Starscream offer the her a sweet deal. “Would you like to join the Seekers?”

“What,” Rainbow Dash surprised. “Y-You want me to be a part of the Seekers?!”

“Why yes. I know that we have already got famous and noticed, but our group can't only be guys. The only way to become a major group is to have a female flyer among us. And you fit the role perfectly. So what do you say, Rainbow Dash? Would you like to become a Seeker?”

“Starscream… I really appreciate this great offer… but I’d already joined with the Wonderbolts. Sure they're really jerks and played me, but I am the element of loyalty. As a loyal pony, I should stay loyal to my teammates no matter what they've done to me. Again, I really appreciate the offer. I hope you will understand.”

The leader of the Seekers sighed in disappointment and respond, “I understand, Rainbow Dash. I shall respect your decision. However, if you ever change your mind, there's still an opening position with your name on it.”

“I appreciate that, Starscream. Thanks.”

“You're very welcome, my dear-”

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash rushed towards him and connected her lips with his. Starscream was surprised by the unexpected kiss and relax. They both remain kissing each other for couple of minutes.

After they've separated, the loving flyer closed her eyes and lay her head on her lover shoulder. “I love you,” she said while nuzzling his neck.

“I love you too, Rainbow.”

As they were nuzzling each other, an green inferno flames went across Starscream and shown an insect form. Starscream is a changeling as well as his men. He quickly change back before his lover noticed and resume comforting Rainbow Dash.

> Comin' N Hot
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

An abandoned military building, located by the Everfree Forest, is the Seekers headquarter. Starscream landed at the entrance of the structure and enter inside. After he had entered his base, he found his changeling soldiers fixing the place up so it may impress the visitors.

“So,” Thrust caught his boss off guard, “did that rainbow pony said yes?”

“Sorry pal,” the leader respond, “but she denied my offer. But don't worry she'll join us sooner or later.”

“Did you at least tell her about those Wonderdocks dirty secrets about what they think of her,” Acid Storm asked. “Because I didn't turned into that ugly colt for nothing!”

“HA,” Ramjet whined, “what about my stunts with shoving his face into that pie and pouring that drink on Dash?! I tried really hard not to laugh after that!”

“Actually,” Skywarp interrupted, “it was Starscream who did all of that. I remember seeing you rushing outside, laughing after the incident, and wet-”

“SHUT YOUR FACE SKYWARP!!”

“Calm down you nitwits,” Starscream calmed his men down.  “No, I didn't tell her about those Wonderbolts,  but I will tell her when we meet again.”

“You really are the wisest and the most patience among us,” Sunstorm kisses up to him, “your majesty.”

“I do have two questions,” Bitstream change the conversation. “How are we going to accomplish our plan and why do we need Rainbow Dash?”

“Alright nerd,” Starscream ruefully answered his question. “We need to earn Rainbow Dash trust so we may enter to Princess Twilight castle and search through her books, until we found a spell or anything that will accomplish our plan.”

“Hate to be a drag,” Skywarp interrupted, “but… what's our plan again?”

All of them sighed by the coward stupidity question. “For the fifth time, Skywarp. We are doing all of this, so we may obtain our original forms once again.”

“Oh! Now I remember.”

“One more question,” Bitstream asked. “How are we going to obtain our original forms?”

“It's simple egghead,” Starscream mocked his teammate. “There's only one thing that this world have instead of our world… magic.”

“Magic?”

“Yes. And the ones who contains the most magic is the Elements of Harmony. If we could manage to capture one of them, then we'll have our bodies back and rule this world!” His men cheered for his brilliant plan.

“Megatron will regret that he had banished us from our dimension and trapping us into this one. Which also cursing us into these horrible bodies. However, when we obtain our original form, we shall rule this world as our own! We will prison the princesses, the elements of harmony, and those who dare to stand in our way! Soon, everyone of these pathetic souls will bow to us and worship us as their gods! For we are Kings! For we are the Decepticons! For we are the Seekers!”

The rest of his men cheered for his tyranny speech. “We need a song,” Sunstorm cheered.

“Why do we need a song,” Thundercracker asked.

“To set in the mood.”

“Fine,” Starscream agreed. “Do any of you got any good songs?” Sunstorm smiled and raised his hoof. “That isn't a girly or a retarded song!” He fawned as he lowered his hoof.

“I got one boss,” Dirge said.

“Go on Dirge. Sing it.”

“Join in anytime, guys!” Dirge began stressing out and clear his throat before he could sing. Finally, he began:


If you got cider in your cup, go raise it up! 
If you ain’t got enough, go fill it up


“Oh,” Starscream surprised. “I remember this song on Earth. Let's shake it up a bit.” Then, he began singing as well:


I'm gonna chase this rainbow with Patrón,
I wanna dash on my lap and a jägerbomb;
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And I'ma make it rain on the mare who serves me
I drink a fifth of magic till it’s gone.
And if it feels so good then it can't be wrong.
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me
And we be taking shots and if not you nerdy.


Ramjet jumped in:


We only killing a pre-party to kill some more.
I'm already hype up before I walk in the door.
This magic rubbin in my body, I never felt it before.
And now it making it way down to my evil soul.


Acid Storm:


It might be the magic talking or the shots of patron.
But these mares look like models and they're ready to bone.
I'll take 'em back to my leader house, we'll be home alone.
Slapin chicks and have 'em yelling like Nightmare Moon.


Bitstream:


It tearing it up.
Yeah it's dancing it flank off.
This magic like a Mac the way it's riding my notebook. 
I’m trying to get my rocks off so don’t try to con block.
I’ll grab my sawed off and I’ll blow your con off.



You know we drink so much.
We getting stronger for weeks.
We drink so much goose, we turnin into geese.
Me and my crew flap a V through VIP.
These suckers play my skin flute like they’re Change-lings.


While Ramjet was singing, he used his magic to turn Acid Storm and Bitstream into goose and geese while rocking in his shades. Then, Starscream shoved the liar aside and took over:


I'm gonna chase this rainbow with Patrón,
I wanna dash on my lap and a jägerbomb;
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And I'ma make it rain on the mare who serves me.
I drink a fifth of magic till it’s gone.
And if it feels so good then it can't be wrong.
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And we be taking shots and if not you nerdy.


Dirge:


If you got cider in your cup, go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough, go fill it up.
If you had too much, don’t throw it up.
And if you ain’t got hay, throw your hooves up.


Thundercracker marching through the way while singing.


Get gone with it, there's nothin' wrong with it.
Take shots, don't stop, sing along with it.
I wanna feel it bounce, magic go up and down.
Take shots, won't stop till I'm worn' out.


Sunstorm nodding his head while singing:


Yeah get down, we can have more,
and we can shake our waves around on the magic juices.
You're gonna have to rock this house, I'm your landlord.
So let this juice drip down in my inner core.


Thrust and Skywarp both sing at the same time:


I ain't try to go home with, nolla nolla.
We can absorb more magic when you, wanna wanna.
Man you know you're feelin' me so, holla holla.
Cause everypony worship to me is, nada nada.


Ramjet push them away from his spotlight:


Okay dog, this has gone on for way long.
Can't quit my day job till I'm played on Soundwave.
It's chaos! I'm in the castle with my shades on.
And I'm about to slain them like I'm Megatron.


Starscream:


I'm gonna chase this rainbow with Patrón,
I wanna dash on my lap and a jägerbomb;
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And I'ma make it rain on the mare who serves me.
I drink a fifth of magic till it’s gone.
And if it feels so good then it can't be wrong.
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And we be taking shots and if not you nerdy.


Dirge:


If you got cider in your cup, go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough, go fill it up.
If you had too much, don’t throw it up.
And if you ain’t got hay, throw your hooves  up.
If you got cider in your cup, go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough, go fill it up.
If you had too much, don’t throw it up.
And if you ain’t got hay, throw your hooves up.


As he repeated the lyrics, the rest of them marches behind him as they were waving their heads back and forth. Finally, as Starscream was singing, the Seekers were changing forms to make beats to the song.


I'm gonna chase this rainbow with Patrón,
I wanna dash on my lap and a jägerbomb;
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me.
And I'ma make it rain on the girl who serves me.
I drink a fifth of magic till it’s gone.
And if it feels so good then it can't be wrong.
I'm comin' in hot, you heard me
And we be taking shots and if not you nerdy.


Dirge finished the song:


If you got cider in your cup,
Go raise it up.
Go raise it up.
Go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough,
Go fill it up.
Go fill it up.
Go fill it up.
If you got cider in your cup,
Go raise it up.
Go raise it up.
Go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough,
Go fill it up.
Go fill it up.
Go fill it up.

> The Tour Around Ponyville 
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days after the dinner party,

Rainbow Dash was putting up her stuff after a long day workout with the Wonderbolts. She was about to shut her locker, until she stopped and stared at her jersey. She focused on the symbol that represent her foolish nickname. She sighed in disappointment from all of the painful memories of being called Rainbow Crash.

“If you ever change your mind,” Starscream voice echoes in her mind, “there’s still an opening position with your name on it.” Rainbow Dash began having doubts about whether she should join the Seekers or not.

Ever since the dinner party, she haven't seen Starscream in a while. Even without him around, Rainbow Dash couldn't get rid of him out of her head. She began having feelings towards the professional performer since she’d kiss him.

“Crash,” Spitfire called her, causing the rainbow pony to shut her locker quickly. Rainbow Dash salutes to her superior. “How have you been doing?”

“I'm fine ma’am,” she responded. “I'm a little sore from practice. I don't understand why I was the only one been flapping my wings? I think I'm going to be sore for weeks.”

“What's wrong with that? It's good for your wings. Increase the muscles, you know?”

“Yeah, but how come no one else doing it? I’d been working my flank off while everypony been practicing some flying routine.”

“You're our special member of the Wonderbolts, Crash. We want you to do all of that so you can be faster and stronger.”

“Do you know who's the fastest pony in all of Equestria? Me. Let not forget that I'm the one who pulled off the Sonic Rainboom.”

“Yeah, but you ain't pulling that technique in our performance. We're just pushing you into our level if you want our respect. Okay?”

“Yes ma'am.”

“Good. I'm going to hit the shower and call it a day. Make sure you come here in the morning so we can workout even more.”

“Yes ma'am.”

As they were going their separate ways, Spitfire stopped and ask her teammate, “By the way… did any of those Seeker guys ask you to join their team?”

“Yeah,” she answered confused. “Why?”

“...Do you say yes?”

“No. It's not because I don't want to. It's because I'm loyal to the Wonderbolts. And the Wonderbolts are my friends.”

“Good to hear.” Finally, Spitfire left the room.

As Rainbow Dash was heading out of the academy, she was a bit curious about why her leader ask for that. She thought that Spitfire have faith in her. If she does, then why would she ask just a thing? Finally, she took off and headed home.





As Rainbow Dash was heading home, she ignored the pain from her sore wings from training. She began regretting about having doubts over abandoning her loyalty towards her heroes. Finally, she took a deep breath and try to relax when she gets home.

Suddenly, she spotted a familiar figure at her front door. It's one of Starscream teammates, Sunstorm. Rainbow Dash found him knocking at her door and yelling for her.

“RAINBOW DASH!! RAINBOW DASH!! RAINBOW DASH!!!”

When she landed on her doorstep, the rainbow pony grabbed the Seeker attention. “Umm,” Rainbow poking the cheerful stallion, “hi Sunstorm.”

The kiss up Seeker turned around and smiled at the mare. “Greeting,” he shouted with joy, “Miss Dash! How was your marvelous day?!”

“Ummm… good I guess. Why are you doing here?”

“I don't know. Oh! Wait! I remember. Starscream sent me to ask you if you could show him around Ponyville tomorrow morning. If you don't have any plans for tomorrow.”

Rainbow Dash was about to tell him that she has training tomorrow, but she stopped. She already knows that she’d work harder than the rest of the Wonderbolts and remember their technique. Then, she have no reason to go in for tomorrow.

Finally, the mare answered the Seeker request, “Yeah. I won't mind giving Starscream a tour around Ponyville. Tell him to show up at my house tomorrow.”

“Excellent! I will inform him immediately! Have a good night, Miss Dash.”

“You too.”

After Sunstorm left, Rainbow Dash headed inside of her mansion and head straight to bed, awaiting the arrival of the amazing stallion.





Morning time

After Rainbow Dash gotten up, she had already taken a shower and brushed her teeth. She stopped and heard a knock from her door, which means Starscream has just arrived. She dashes out of her room and headed to the door. When she's heading towards the stairs, she slides down on the handles and landed by the door.

Before she open the door, Rainbow Dash quickly straighten her mane and smell her breath. She opened the door and found her handsome stallion on the other side.
“Well,” Rainbow greeted, “hello Starscream. You look absolutely amazing.”

“Well,” Starscream replied, “I think heaven is missing an angel… because she's standing right in front of me.”

“Oh, stop it!”

“Tell me… did it hurt when you fall from heaven?”

“Starscream,” Rainbow cried while blushing. “S-So do you want me to give you a grand tour of Ponyville?”

“Sure, but how about you could give me a tour around your wonderful house first.”

“Oh! Actually, I wasn't expecting any visitors.”

“Nonsense. I hardly believe that your amazing house is that bad. Come and show me around.”

She nodded and shown Starscream around her mansion. She’d show him her childhood photos, her trophies, and the source of the rainbow. Rainbow Dash even introduce him to Tank.

As they were heading out of her house, Starscream compliment to the rainbow mare, “Your house is amazing, Rainbow Dash! And you live here all by yourself?”

“Well, yeah. But I can take care of myself. I'm a tough mare.”

“How you ever feel so… lonely once and awhile?”

“Well… sometimes. But I got Tank to keep me company.”

“Have you ever think of a… roommate before? I mean there's more than one room.”

“Huh. I haven't thought of that. Maybe I should look into that.”

“Just letting you know that I have been looking for somewhere to crash in. I don't want to live with my annoying teammates forever. I need my own personal space.”

“If I am looking for a roommate, I would definitely ask you first.”

“I’ll look forward to that.”

As they both staring into each other eyes, Rainbow Dash lean forward and kiss the Seeker on the cheek. The mare kiss causes l Starscream to blush and smile. Finally, she began giving her crush the tour around Ponyville.





During the tour around Ponyville, Rainbow Dash has shown the leader of the Seekers many things. She has so far shown Starscream the town hall, the restaurants, the spa, and many more. She’d even introduce the professional to the residents of the town.

Suddenly, they were interrupted by a loud growl. Starscream nervously laughed, “Oh! Hahaha! Sorry about that. I actually skip breakfast on the way over here.”

“No problem,” Rainbow Dash said. “I haven't ate anything either. Ha, I know a perfect place for a good meal. If you consider sweets as a meal.”

“No problem.”

Rainbow Dash lure the her crush to Sugarcube Corner. As they're entering inside, the rainbow mare explains to Starscream about it. “This is mostly the main sweets store in Ponyville. It's also me and my friends hangout.”

As they were waiting in the front counter for their sweet, Mrs. Cake has entered the room. “Hello Rainbow Dash,” she greeted. "It's good to see you.” Then, she was caught by the Starscream reflection. “O-Oh my! Rainbow Dash… who's your friend here?!”

“This is my friend, Starscream. I'm showing around Ponyville.”

“Greetings,” Starscream stepped up. “Mine are you looking beautiful today.” He grabbed the earth pony hoof and kiss it, causing Mrs. Cake to blush.

“W-Why thank you,” she giggled. “What can I get for you two?!”

Rainbow Dash ordered from the menu, “Can we have two milk-”

“One milkshake with two straws please,” Starscream charges the order.

“Alrighty then,” Mrs. Cake said. “That'll be two bits please.”

“Don't worry Dash. I got this.” He pulled out his wallet and handed over two bits. Starscream leaned over to Rainbow Dash and whispers, “Don’t tell Dirge about my bits.”

“Alrighty then,” Mrs. Cake said, “your order will ready in just a moment.” She turned around and shouted to the kitchen. “Pinkie dear! Would please make one milkshake!”

Pinkie appeared from the door and respond, “Okey Dokey Lok-” Then, she gasped from both the presence of her best friend and Starscream. “Ummmmm… I need to step outside and get some fresh just a moment!” She dashed next to Rainbow Dash and asked quickly, “Dashie you want to join me-Great! Well let's go!” Finally, she grabbed her and rushed out of the store.

After they both gotten outside, Pinkie smiled while vibrating with joy. “I knew it I knew it I knew it,” she cheerful repeated. “You love Starscream!” She broke through the fourth wall and shouted towards the reader, “I CALLED IT!!”

Rainbow Dash pulled her crazy friend back and deny it, “Pinkie, I don't love him. I already said that like a bunch of times.”

“Yeah right! If you don't love him, then why are you dating him?! Hmmmmmmm!”

“We're not dating. I'm giving him a tour around Ponyville.”

“Right. Like I'm going to believe that coverup.”

She sighed in frustration and shouted, “Look! We're not dating alright! Me and Starscream are not a couple! PERIOD! Just will you go and make our milkshake already!”

“Okay okay. I will make your milkshake…” Pinkie Pie trotted back inside to the bakery. Then, she stuck her head outside and finished, “Mrs. Scream!”

“PINKIE PIE!!”

After her random friend disappeared from her sight, Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and head back inside. When she stepped into the bakery, she founded the Seeker at a table waiting for her. “So,” Starscream said as the mare trotted towards him, “how was outside with your friend?”

“I'm so sorry,” she apologized. “My friend is very random every time. It's so hard to get use to.”

“Oh, it's alright. Sometimes your friends can be so annoying. I know what you're going through.”

As they were giggling, Pinkie Pie reappeared at their table with their milkshake. “Here's your milkshake,” she joyfully shouted. “I’ve also added some toppings to it.” She dashes away.

As Rainbow Dash was examining the milkshake, she’d already spotted the heart toppings. She then smash her to the table while sighing in anger. “Okay,” Starscream cut in, “what's going on?”

The rainbow mare lifted her head up and explains, “Pinkie thinks me and you are dating!”

The Seeker turned around and makes sure the pink pony headed to the kitchen. He fake laughed and says, “Oh, Rainbow Dash! You're amazing!”

Rainbow Dash was confused about what he's doing. Then, Starscream gave her the wink and shifts his eyes the other way. As she slowly lean her head over, she immediately spotted Pinkie at the kitchen window. The rainbow pony understand what he's doing and joined in. “I can say the same thing to you. What you did to me last night was amazing!” She spotted her friend formed a gasps face.

“It was my first time doing it. But… I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have done it.”

“Oh, please it couldn't be worse.”

Pinkie formed a curious face. “I don't understand why you're cool about being pregnant.”

Then, the pink pony fallen to the ground from the shocking fake new. As they heard the random mare hit the ground, the pegasus both laughed at her. “Nice one,” Rainbow complemented the professional.

“Works every time on my teammates. Always teaching team a lesson about eavesdropping.”

Finally, they can enjoy their milkshake without any interruptions. As they were drinking the sweetest dessert, they both stared into each other eyes and blushes. After they were done with their drink, Starscream admitted, “You got to admit that your friend makes a mean milkshake.”

“Yep,” Rainbow Dash agreed. “She makes awesome sweets. So… do you want to continue the tour?”

“Sure.”

Finally, they have left the bakery and resumed the tour around Ponyville.





“And this is my friend, Rarity, boutique,” Rainbow Dash tells the Seeker about her dress designer friend. “She’d made a bunch of dresses for many celebrities. Her business spread out across Equestria. She'd even helped me with a misunderstanding problem with the Wonderbolts.”

“Problem,” Starscream curious. “What kind of problem?”

“Oh! It's no big deal. The Wonderbolts thought I'd got rid of Spitfire to take her place.”

“What?! They blame the Rainbow Dash?! The best flyer of all Equestria?! Most importantly, the element of loyalty?!”

“It was a misunderstanding. It was Wind Rider who done it.”

“Last I’ve heard that he was the best among the Wonderbolts. So, even the famous flyers can be false idols. Do you think that the Wonderbolts could be false idols as well?”

“Can we not even mention about them? This is about me showing you around Ponyville. Remember?”

“Right right. Sorry. So, would you like to show me inside of your friend boutique?”

“Sure. If she's there though.” When they reach to the door, Rainbow Dash knocked it and call her friend, “Rarity! It's me! Rainbow Dash! Can you let me in?!”

The door opened and Rarity smiled at the other side of the door. “Hello darling,” she greeted her friend. “How can I help-” Suddenly, she gasped from the presence of Starscream. Without hesitation, she pulled her friend inside and shut the door, leaving the Seeker alone.

After she'd shut the door, Rarity shriek with excitement. “Rainbow Dash,” she shrieks. “You and Starscream together! I'm so happy for you! Oh, I must make a dress for you this instance!”

“Rarity,” Rainbow Dash yelled as she grabbed her friend. “Me and Starscream aren't dating! I'm just showing him around Ponyville! Nothing else is happening between us!”

“Sure,” Rarity rolls her eyes. “Darling, I know when my friends are dating with some pony in their type.”

“RARITY!!”

“You're right. You're right. I shouldn't jump into conclusions.”

“Good. Now, can you please show him around the boutique?”

“Of course, darling! And maybe I could make him a suit for him.”

“No. The answer is no.” Rarity rolls her eyes again.

After Rarity let Starscream inside of her boutique, she gave the professional the tour. She'd shown him her dresses, her posing stand, and her sewing room. After the tour has ended, the dressmaker spoke to the Seeker, “Oh, Mister Starscream.”

“Yes,” he responded.

Rainbow Dash, already know what her friend is doing, quickly shook her head furiously at her. Rarity ignored and finished, “Would you like me to make you a suit? It would be free up charge.”

“Oh,” Starscream surprised. “Oh, I don't know. I don't want to waste any of your time.”

“Nonsense. I have no orders for now and I'm happy to make a fabulous suit for you.”

“I don't know how to turn down an generous offer. Sure. I would like to have a new suit.”

“Splendid. Just follow me to the sewing room please.” As they were heading to the sewing room, Rainbow Dash stare angrily at her friend. Before they left from the pegasus site, Rarity gave her friend a wink, causing the rainbow pony to hit her forehead.





After an hour passed, Rainbow Dash has been waiting for them to be done with. She kept being impatient for the procession. She also starting to regret showing Starscream her friend boutique.

Finally, Rarity entered the room with a smile on her face. The rainbow mare rushed to her friend and yelled, “Rarity! I told you to don't make him a suit! And what do you do… making him a suit!”

“Oh darling,” Rarity corrected her friend. “I didn't make him a suit. I ask him if he wants me to make a suit for him and he said yes.”

“That's the same thing-”

“No, darling. It isn't.” She turned towards to the sewing room and called for the Seeker. “Come on out, darling!”

After he had heard his que, Starscream entered the room with his new fancy suit. When he stepped out of the sewing room, he had already grabbed Rainbow Dash attention. The suit is a silk, cloud colored shirt and pant. His tie is rainbow theme.

As the pegasus stood speechless from the stallion new suit, Rarity and Starscream both giggle from her reaction. “Like what you see,” the Seeker said.

Rainbow Dash shook her head and blushes. “Oh,” she responded, “y-you look…”

“Handsome.”

“I going to say awesome. But… that too.”

As they were both giggling, Rarity cut in and says, “I assume you two have to finish the tour right about now?”

“Oh, yeah.”

“I guess we're off again,” Starscream said. “Thank you for the wonderful suit, Rarity.”

“Anything for Rainbow Dash friends,” she accepted his compliment. “By the way, do you want me to make some suits for your-”

Rainbow Dash grabbed the professional flyer and hurry to the door. “No Thanks We’re Good,” she shouted before shutting the door.





Finally, their final stop of the tour is the main finale, Twilight castle. As they're both trotting towards the castle door, Rainbow Dash notices a smile on Starscream face. It was like that he was excited to be the castle for some reason.

“Starscream,” she grabbed the Seeker attention. “Are you alright? I’ve never seen you this excited before.”

“Oh,” he responded, “why yes! It's just that I have never been given a tour around an actual castle.”

“Well, today is your lucky day.” As the mare was knocking on the door, she called to her friend, “Twilight! Are you there?! It's me! Rainbow Dash!”

As the doors were open, they found Twilight and Starlight on the other side. “Rainbow Dash,” the princess shouted. “What is it that's so important that you have to interrupt our teach-” She stopped when she notices that Starscream is with her. “Oh! Mister Starscream! Why… hello. What brings you two here?”

“I'm just giving him a tour around Ponyville. You two won't mind if I give him a tour of the castle?”

“Better yet,” Twilight respond, “how me and Starlight can give him a tour?”

“Alright. Wait, didn't I interrupt your-”

“Don't worry about,” Starlight said. “We can do that later.”

“Okay. Lead the way.”

Finally, Twilight and Starlight began giving the tour for Starscream. As Rainbow Dash was behind those two, she could heard them giggling with joy. She shook her head in anger, knowing that they believe that she and the Seeker are dating.

Their first stop would be the map table. Starscream was amazed by the entire map of Equestria and the throne symbolize the elements of harmony cutie marks. “I believe this is your throne,” he pointed out Rainbow Dash seat.

“Guilty as charged,” she blushes.

“The maps gives out the location of a friendship problem,” Twilight informed the professional flyer. 

“So,” he says, “y’all pretty much travel across Equestria to solve a friendship problem? That's amazing!”

“Life is a adventure,” Rainbow Dash added.

“Let's hope the map shows a friendship problem between me and my teammates!” They all laughed at his joke.

“Hahahaha,” the princess laughed. “Oh...maybe.”

They resume giving the tour. As they were passing through many rooms, Twilight explains about them. “So much doors in the castle huh? Most of them are living rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, supply rooms, bedrooms-”

“Alright Twilight,” Rainbow Dash stopped her. “No need to give out that much information.”

“I'm just saying.”

“Even I trying to get used to all of this,” Starlight tells the stallion. “It's pretty much my home.”

“How kindful for the princess for letting you live with her,” he said. 

“I know right.”

Then, their next stop makes Twilight smile. “The next one,” she says, “my personal favorite, is the library!”

As she opened the door, Starscream was amazed by the thousands of library books. He smiled at the process of his plan. Suddenly, he was cut off when Rainbow Dash wrapped her leg around him. “Yup,” she said. “She's a bookworm. Reading is pretty much her hobby.”

As he was examining the layers of books, he curious, “There's so many books to choose from!”

“Yeah. I know right.”

He turned to the voice and spotted a baby dragon, Spike. “I have always clean these books every week. It took me probably two or three hours to dusts off all of them.”

“So,” the pegasus ask him, “is there any books that contain magic spells?”

“Pretty much tons of them have it. Twilight and Starlight always go through them every time they practice magic.”

“Interesting,” Starscream evilly grinned. 

“Starscream,” Rainbow Dash cut him off from the yell. “Come on! You wanted to see the rest of the castle do ya?”

“Coming!” Before he exited the library, he mumbled to himself, “This is going to be quite useful.”





After the tour of the castle has ended, so is the tour of Ponyville. As the two pegasus were heading out, Twilight stopped her friend before they left. “Can you excuse us, Mister Starscream,” she ask politely to the Seeker. “I want to talk to Rainbow Dash for a moment.”

“It's fine by me,” he responded.

After she drawn her friend away from the stallion, the princess shrieks with joy. “I knew it! You actually have feelings for Starscream! I knew it-”

Rainbow Dash quickly covered her joyful friend mouth, hoping the professional flyer didn't heard that. She sighed and say, “Listen Twilight! For the last time, I don't have any feelings towards him! I just like him because he's awesome. That's all!”

“Sure,” Twilight rolled her eyes.”

“Why do everypony kept rolling their eyes when I said that!” The rainbow mare took a deep breath. “Look, I really appreciate that you gave him a tour around the castle. Again, I'm so sorry for interrupting your teaching with Starlight.”

“It's fine, Rainbow Dash. And I appreciate your apology. I’ll always help out my friends.” They both leaned and gave each other a hug. After they separated, Twilight inform her, “Now, I'm believe there's a stallion waiting for you.”

“You're right. See you later, Twilight.”

“Goodbye, Rainbow.” After they’ve waved goodbye, the alicorn pointed out, “You know I’m pretty sure that the princesses would be thrilled that you and Starscream are together.”

“TWILIGHT!!!”


> Switching Sides
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the sun is grew dim, Rainbow Dash and Starscream were about to go their separate ways. “Thank you for the wonderful tour, Rainbow Dash,” the Seeker appreciated. “I had a great time meeting your friends as well.”

“You're welcome,” Rainbow said. “I had a great time spending it with you. You're awesome to hang out with.” She flew into the air and says her goodbye. “Well, see you around.”

“See you around.” Rainbow Dash was about to head home for bed, until Starscream stop her by shouting her name, “RAINBOW DASH STOP!!” After she'd landed next to him, he pleaded, “Please join the Seekers!”

Rainbow Dash surprised by the offer again. “But I said-”

“I know what you said, but I can't take it anymore!” He falls on his knees and grabbed her hoof as if he was proposing to her. “Rainbow Dash… you're amazing! You're so bold and brave! You're the perfect member of the Seekers! You're better than my men-heck you're better than me! Please Rainbow Dash! We need you on our team! I need you.”

She was speechless by Starscream touching speech. As much as she wanted to join them, Rainbow Dash just can't. She lifted the Seeker head and answer, “Starscream, thank you for wanting me to join your team, but I just can't. Of course, the Wonderbolts aren't treating me fairly, but that was when I was a newbie. Later in the future, I will be respected by them and gain a higher rank. I know that it's hard to get used to the pressure, but it will be worth it. I'm still loyal to the Wonderbolts. I'm the element of loyalty. And the element of loyalty never abandon her teammates.”

“Not even if they're deceiving you,” he added.

Rainbow Dash was confused by what the Seeker just said. “Starscream… what are you talking about?”

“Rainbow Dash, those jerks are using you, so they can get more attention and more recruits. I heard what they say about you after me and my team were leaving the party. They said that you're a useless pony and doesn't deserve to join their team. They believe that you're weak and never become one of them. Please... you don't need those backstabbers. Join us and will love you like our only queen. I... I love you, Rainbow Dash."

She doesn't believe that her own teammates would say those things behind her back. Rainbow Dash lowered her head and spoke, “Starscream… I understand…” The Seeker eyes widened by her response. “I understand that everything you just said is… is… FULL OF CRAP!!” Her scream strudel Starscream.

“You're lying to me! You just made it up so you can convince me to join your team! I can't believe that you think I'm too stupid enough to believe that! Here I thought that my team are jerks, but you're worse than they are!”

“B-But Rainbow Dash,” Starscream cried. “What I’ve told you is true! Those bolts are taking advantage of you!”

“How can I know that you're telling the truth?!”

“If you don't believe me, then ask the bolts yourself. Then, you shall see who's lying.” Finally, Rainbow Dash abandon the Seeker and rushes to the Wonderbolts academy.





When Rainbow Dash made it to the academy, she landed on the runway and began searching for her team. “Crash!” She turned and found the rest of the Wonderbolts matching towards her. “Mind explaining to us why you didn't show up for training,” Spitfire demanded.

“I was-”

“I told ya what she was doing,” Soarin interrupt. “She was too busy making out with the Seeker leader!”

“I was giving him a tour of my home town,” Rainbow yelled. “And you don't have to worry about those jerks, because I am done with them!”

The bolts were surprises. “Why is that,” Spitfire asks.

“Because that snake lied to me!”

“Ahhhh,” Fleetfoot mock her, “did poor little Crashie cry?” Some of the bolts giggle from the taunt.

“What did he lie to you about,” Misty Fly curious.

“He said that you guys were only using me so y’all can get more famous,” Rainbow Dash answers. “Like I'm going to believe that right! I know you guys would never do that to me.” The Wonderbolts began shifting their eyes to each other nervously. “Right?”

“R-Right,” Soarin answer. He quickly turned to the others and shouts, “Come on guys! Let hit the showers!”

“Hold on a second! What's going on here?!”

“What are you talking about, Crash,” Fleetfoot ask nervously.

“Why are you guys acting suspicious?” Then, she realize that everything that Starscream told her could be true. “Are you guys taking advantage of me," she demanded.

The bolts turned and shook their heads at their leader. Spitfire lay her hoof on the rainbow pony shoulder. “Rainbow Dash, listen. We would never-”

Rainbow shove her friend hoof away from her and demanded, “Don't bull crap me, Fire! Are you guys taking advantage of me?!”

Finally, Spitfire lowered her head, sighs in defeat, and answer Rainbow Dash question. “Yes.”

Rainbow Dash couldn't believe what just happened. She has discovered that her heroes and role models are fakes. “WHAT,” she cried. WHY?!!”

“Because you're too famous,” Spitfire explains. “Ever since you have done that Sonic Rainboom, everypony couldn't stop talking about. When we check on the recruitment sheet, we were very low on volunteers. Then, we decided to enroll you in, so we can get more recruits. Ever since we allow you to become a Wonderbolt, so many pegasus signed up because of you.”

“So,” Rainbow Dash yelled, “the only reason why you want me to become a Wonderbolt, so y’all can become more famous than before! All of this time, I thought y’all welcome me to the bolts is because of my hard work and bravery! But it was all a lie!”

“Crash,” Fleetfoot said, “calm down-”

“Shut up! And it's Rainbow Dash to you!” She turned to her best friend, Spitfire. “I thought we were friends, Spitfire! Or was that a lie too!”

“No,” Spitfire pleaded. “We are friends, Dash! We are-”

“Then, why do you lied to me?! True friends don't lie to each other! You're not my friend! NONE OF YOU!!,” her teammates took a step back from her yelling.

“Rainbow Dash, please calm down! You're right! I shouldn't have use you-”

“I am the most loyal pony in entire of Equestria and y’all used me! Y’all betrayed my loyalty and used me! I thought we could trust each other-Who am I kidding, y’all had never trust me than before!”

“What are you talking about? We had never-”

“STOP LYING TO ME!! The time when all of you blame me for Spitfire disappearance! I can't believe y’all actually believe that I tried to take her spot! I thought y’all known me as the element of loyalty not the complete opposite!”

“But,” Soarin added, “there was hair pieces left at her room that matches yours-”

“It doesn't matter! If y’all really are my true friends, then y’all should have known better to trust me like my friend Rarity! And I can't believe that Wind Rider, one of the best Wonderbolts, was the one who frame me, just because I was about to beat his record! Looks like something you bolts have in common! Stabbing each other in the back!”

“Rainbow Dash,” Spitfire yell, “you're being ridiculous! We would never betray one of another!”

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! What about the time when you tried to make me join you and Fleetfoot and kick Soarin to the curb?! True teammates doesn't work like that, Spitfire!”

“You know she got a good point,” Soarin agreed with the rainbow pony.

“You're not helping Soarin,” Spitfire yelled at him. “And you wonder why we call you Clipper!”

“Well, excuse me that we have to suffer from those fake nickname, so Rainbow Crash can stay on the team-” After realizing what he has just done, he quickly covered his mouth.

Rainbow Dash was both shock and heartbroken after discovering another lie. Tears were running down on her face, but she shook them off furiously. She turned to Spitfire and yell, “You told them to use those fake nicknames just to make me feel better about mine?!”

“Crash,” Spitfire calm her down, “please don't be mad. I told them to do it, because they were-”

“IT IS DASH!! My name is Rainbow Dash! I can't believe you jerks would want me to believe that horrible nickname was ever good for me! Being called ‘Rainbow Crash’ was the worst thing that ever happened to me!”

“Oh come on,” Soarin roll his eyes. “It can't be that bad.”

“Really?! It can't be that bad,” she ruefully mock his voice. “I tell you all why that stupid nickname is horrible to me! When I was a little filly, I have always dreamed about becoming a awesome Wonderbolt! I was like your number one fan back then!”

“Until, one day at flight school, I accidentally made a fool of myself and one of the gayass colts called me RAINBOW CRASH!! Everyday at flight school… every single day of my life… everypony kept calling me Rainbow Crash! Every single night, I cried in my sleep, because that stupid nickname will always haunt me until I die! Thanks to my Sonic Rainboom, I have finally gotten rid of that stupid nickname. Until, you jerks brought it back from the grave!”

Everypony were shocked by her sad childhood backstory. No pony haven't said a word for about a few minutes. Finally, Spitfire lay her hoof on her friend shoulder and spoke, “Rainbow Dash.” The sadden pegasus lifted her head. “I am so sorry for what happened to you when you were a filly… but it was a nickname. I mean come on.” Everyone agrees with their leader.

“Do you know why I told my teammates to have those fake nicknames? It's because so you can accept that name and wear it proudly. Sadly, it's seems that you still haven't accept it.”

Finally, Rainbow Dash rage exploded after hearing those exact words from her former friend. She shove her friend hoof away from her and yelled right in her face, “You know what! I had already accepted that dumb name, until I have discover that you  bolts used me! I shouldn't be the one to be ashamed of myself! It's you… you… FAKES!!”

The Wonderbolts gasps from her hurtful words and were upset by her attitude. “Rainbow-”

“You know what! Screw you! Screw all of you! I don't need any of you jerks anyway! I can just join another team that will treat me with respect!”

“What are you saying,” Fleetfoot ask.”

Rainbow Dash wasn't afraid to say it in front of her false idols. She release all of her anger out with a single roar. “I QUIT!! She began marching away from her former teammates.

The Wonderbolts were both shocked and heartbroken by the lost of a great teammate. Spitfire shook her head and rushed to Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash,” she cried. “Please wait-”

“I should have let you and Soarin fall to your deaths back in Cloudsdale,," she growled at Spitfire.

Spitfire gasps from her friend hurtful regret. After Rainbow Dash left the academy, she remembered that horrible accident when she and the others almost fallen to their doom. Only Rainbow Dash Sonic Rainboom has save their lives. Now, she truly regret betraying her best friend.





It was midnight, Rainbow Dash was trying to find the Seekers base throughout the land. After a couple of minutes, she has finally found their headquarters with a giant S symbol on top. When she landed at the door, she began knocking on it, hoping they are still awake.

“GUYS,” Thundercracker voice occurred within the base. “THE TAX COLLECTOR FIGURE OUT WHERE WE LIVE!! QUICK HELP ME ESCAPE!!”

“Help you escape,” Thrust voice. “What about us?!”

“I think we should lure him in and take all of his money instead,” Dirge greedy voice.

“We are professional flyers,” Bitstream voice. “Not common criminals!”

“Guys,” Starscream voice ended the madness. “We could just see who's at the door.”

Dirge sighs in disappointment and agreed, “He’s right.”

“You really are the wisest leader,” Sunstorm praises his master.

When Starscream opened the door, he was surprise seeing Rainbow Dash this late. “Rainbow Dash,” he said with a surprise voice. “What brings you here?”

The rainbow flyer lowered her head and said, “You were right.” Starscream tilted his head. “Those backstabbers were using me this whole time. They completely used my loyalty for their own advantage. You were right about them this whole time. I can't believe I was an idiot to fall for their stupid tricks.”

Then, the gentlecolt lean towards and comfort Rainbow Dash. “My dear Rainbow,” he said. “You're not a idiot. Those bolts are the real idiots. They had their chances to redeem themselves, but they blew it. They had made a big mistake of taking advantage of the best flyer of all of Equestria. I'm so sorry for what happened to you, my dear.”

Rainbow Dash accepted his comfort and hug back. They began nuzzles each other cheeks together. Starscream wrapped his wings around her body. “Feeling better,” he asked. She nodded as they're separating from each other. “Do you want me to escort you home-”

“Actually, I want to ask you something,” Rainbow Dash cut him off.

“W-What is it?”

“Do y’all still have a opening position in the Seekers?”

Starscream smiles at the mare and respond, “Why… yes. We have a opening with your name on it.” He grabbed her hoof and drawn her inside. “However, we need to let the others to decide if you're Seeker martial.”

When they have entered the sleeping bunker, they found everyone of the Seekers asleep. “Excuse me,” he said to Rainbow. Starscream matches towards his men and yelled as a drill sergeant, “ON YOUR HOOFS MAGGOTS!!” Every stallions quickly gotten up and stand up straight. “Boys. Rainbow Dash has quit those sinful Wonderbolts and wants to join our team. What do you say, guys? Do we want Rainbow Dash on our team?”

“I don't think so,” Ramjet said while trotting towards a table. “Maybe we shouldn't let her in-” Suddenly, he and Sunstorm removed a sheet and revealed a cake and drinks. The cake said Welcome to the team Dash with frosting. What makes it weird is that it has Thundercracker face on it.

“It has been decided,” Starscream lure Rainbow Dash towards the others. “You're officially one of us-” He stopped when he stopped the ego-maniac face on the cake. “THUNDERCRACKER!! I especially told you to add Rainbow Dash face on the cake! NOT YOURS!!” 

“Ha,” Thundercracker protest, “you can't hide this handsome devil away from the spotlight!”

“Just go back to the bakery and get another one. This time with her face on it!”

“B-But it's midnight!”

“Then, wait outside of the bakery until it's open!”

After Thundercracker left, Sunstorm and the others were curious about the cake. “Are we still going to eat the cake,” he said.

“Oh, we're eating the cake!” As the Seekers were diving upon the cake and drinks, Starscream lure Rainbow Dash into another room. After he had shut the door, he began apologizing. “Rainbow Dash, I'm so sorry for what happened between you and those disgusting freaks. Do you need anymore comfort?”

“No,” she responded. “It's fine. It's just I have always wanted to be a Wonderbolt ever since I was a little filly. But dreams doesn't come true.”

“Oh Rainbow Dash!” He gave her a hug. “It wasn't your fault. It was those pathetic bolts who chose their sinister path. You chose the light and they chose the dark. I wish we came along and become your dream team.”

“It wasn't your fault,” she said while hugging back. “I wasn't Wonderbolt martial after all.”

When Starscream noticed that tears were dripping from the mare eyes, he drawn the her face to his and wrap the tears away. “You were, my dear. It's just those amateurs wasn't the martial at all. You're the real Wonderbolt this whole time. The reason why you're not with them now is because they have betray your loyalty. However, as for the Seekers, we have three words that represent our image. Bravery! Noble! And most importantly, loyalty! And we pick the right mare for the job.”

Thanks to the professional kindful words, Rainbow Dash hug him tight and nuzzles on his neck. “Thank you so much, Starscream,” she appreciates the support. “I really needed that.”

“Anything for my friends.”

“Right… friends.”

After they've both separated, they both nervously scratch the back of their heads while blushing. “Now, come along then,” he said while heading for the door. “There is a celebration happening with your name on it!”

Thanks to the comfort of the gentlecolt, Rainbow Dash began developing strange feelings for Starscream and can't contain it anymore. Without hesitation, she stop the stallion by grabbing his hoof. “Starscream,” she said. The Seeker tilt his head confused. “D-Do you want to go on a date with me?!”

Starscream was surprised by her intention and turned away. “I thought you already have a special stallion in your life? You know for being a amazing flyer.”

“Sadly, I don't. But how about you and me become a awesome couple?”

He turned around and respond, “You know there are rules prohibit teammates dating each other.” The sadden pegasus lowered her head in disappointment, but was lifted by the gentlecolt with a smile on his face. “However, we are the Seekers and we don't believe in that rule. So… why not.”

Finally, the two professional couples hug each other. Rainbow Dash began shedding tears, but this time tears of joy. Even though she has quit her dream team, she has found the perfect one and the perfect stallion along with it. Her future has started to shine bright.
