The Wonderbolts are back to Cloudadale, and Rainbow Dash is sure to get Soarins attention this time.
After working every day with the Weather Patrol for Ponyville and Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash discovers the Wonderbolts are holding a contest to see who is worthy of becoming a new Wonderbolt. With her strike of luck, she doesn't just win the competition, but Soarins heart, but their relationship is kept hidden from others until it becomes public at the Grand Galloping Gala. If they thought Spitfires jealousy was bad, wait until all of Equestria gets involved. (And one more thing. I know there are typos and I'm trying to spot them so don't make a prissy ass comment about something I'm already trying to fix. if you do don't bother to read it)
The sky above Ponyville that warm spring day was being filled with large grey clouds by the Weather Patrol. Rainbow Dash pushed one of the dark grey clouds toward the coming storm. Her lights blue wings pattered as she watched the Wonderbolts sour by. Her flank laid a white cloud with a lightning bolt with red, yellow and blue. She slowly lowered herself onto the thick grey could and rested her hoof to her velvet like cheek. She watched as they flew off into the large white arena above Cloudsdale. Suddenly, a volt of electricity shocked through her body as the cloud struck lightning. Her body shook and fell to the grassy floor below where she attracted the attention of the Pegasi and other Ponies around.
"Rainbow Dash, are you alright?" Rarity laughed walking beside her as the other ponies and Pegasi laughed and giggled. Rainbow Dash stood up and flapped her wings as she hid her face from the others.
"Not really, and I told you to clean up these branches, were starting a storm soon and I don't want these loose branches to hurt anyone,"
"Rainbow, I'm trying please stop, go talk to him if you're so erratic about it,” Rarity fluttered, flashing her icy blue eyes and long eyelashes at Rainbow Dash.
"I can’t, he's a Wonderbolt and I'm, I'm just a Pegasus who tries to impress him. Plus, he tours all around Canterlot, when will I see him? He’s famous and I’m, I’m just a fan"
"Well at least try to impress him, like with a sonic Rainboom,"
"Do you know how hard it is to do one of those? I’ve got to go anyway, Cloudsdale needs me I guess," Rainbow Dash flew off in-between the dark clouds, leaving a small rainbow behind her as the trickles of rain pattered on Rarity’s curly purple mane. Rarity ran to the direction of her Carousel Boutique, her curls bouncing and her white hoofs pattered the grass below. Rainbow Dash sped past the pattering rain and flew through the doors of her home in the sky. In her room, posters of the Wonderbolts hung above her bed. The walls lay a dark purple color with light white swirls in certain spots; two black pillars sit beside her bed made out of clouds and purple pillows and sheets. Rainbow Dash slowly walked to the window, as she watched the town below scatter into their houses and the stores. She turned back to the posters; of Spitfire, Blaze, Firestreek, Fleetfoot, High Winds, Lightning Streak, Misty, Rapid Fire, Silver Lining, Wave Chill and her one and only, Soarin. His Navy Blue mane rested behind his Icy blue ears, his wings rest high above him as he flies above the crowds. Rainbow Dash felt as if she is there with him, in the poster beside him. She flew around her room, watching as her multicolored rainbow mane followed her around. Suddenly, she came to a stop as the trumpets played outside her window.
The Wonderbolts, they were coming by. Rainbow Dash bolted out the window to watch them fly by, creating lightning for the land ponies and Unicorns below. Her wings flattered as she floated outside the window watching them with excitement, their uniforms, which consisted of the light-blue full body suit with gold, thunderbolt-shaped accents that leaves their mouths, wings, manes and tails exposed. Soarin easily and jokingly completed a 360 around them rest of the team as they flew. Rainbow Dash watched as Spitfire laughed at him. The sun that Princess Celestia rose that morning rested high above Canterlot. Suddenly, the team stopped, pointing in Rainbow Dash's direction and began to announce their statements.
"This afternoon," Soarin began, "We will be hosting a contest, and then winner of this contest has a change to be recruited into the Wonderbolts. You will need to create a routine with three consecutive parts, each harder than the other. The third and final routine must be an amazing spectacle,"
"The contest will begin at 4:00 and end at 6, the winner will be announced at 7:00, any contestants must sign up here with us in 20 minutes or less," Spitfire began, but before she could finish, Rainbow Dash bolted beside Spitfire. With her mouth open, Spitfire let out a faint laugh at Rainbow Dash fixing her shaded orange mane. "Or now if you're ready," Rainbow Dash's wings pattered slowly as Soarin looked towards her. He slowly flew over to her holding the clip board and a pen.
"I'm guessing you want to enter," he smiled, his navy blue mane waving in the breeze of his wings behind him. The other Wonderbolts helped the other Pegasi that decided to enter.
"Yea," Rainbow Dash chuckled at Soarin. A small squeal escaped her lips, her mane pattered behind her.
"I guess I'll be seeing you later tonight," Soarin smiled, his emerald green eyes glittering in the sunlight. "Yea, you will," Rainbow Dash smiled, floating away from the Wonderbolt. She turned and began to pick up speed.
"Wait!" Soarin called after her. "You forgot to sign your name," Rainbow Dash blushed; flying back towards him, the short line of Pegasi watched her. A brown Pegasus laughed at her, his basketball cutie mark rested on his flank along with his short brown mane and tail.
"Yea Rainbow Crash!" he yelled out as she signed the paper. Rainbow Dash held her head low as she turned around to leave.
"None of that or you will be disqualified," Soarin announced towards the Pegasus. "I got you," he smiled at Rainbow Dash. Her wings fluttered faster as he smiled at her. She bolted through the whitening clouds below without another word, ignoring the rain and small shocks. Trees, plants and houses flew past her as she flattered her wings faster and faster. She flew through Ponyville. Twilight Sparkles tree house library seemed miles away as Rainbow Dash flew towards it. Twilight opened the door as Rainbow Dash approached it. Rainbow Dash bolted through the opening ramming into Twilights bookcases. Books went flying throughout the room. Twilight ran in as Rainbow Dash lay buried beneath the piles of books. The baby dragon approached, Spike. His green and purple scale’s jolted as he giggled at Rainbow Dash. The little white teeth rested over his lips. Rainbow Dash poked her head through the pile. Twilights horn began to glow, the books began to glow a light purple as twilight used her magic to move them back to their spots. The small light purple horn rested underneath the dark purple straight mane, where a light pink strip laid.
"Gosh Rainbow, what’s' the matter?" she asked as the last book slid into its spot.
"I'm entering a contest tonight and I need everyponys help to cheer me on," The four other ponies walked on. One Pegasus hid her wings under her light pink hair. Her small, light yellow body shook of anxiety along with her three pink butterflies on her flank.
"Hello," the faint sound came from her lips.
"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash began flying towards her, “I need your help, and I’m entering the Wonderbolts contest!"
"Well darn totin' Rainbow Dash I wish you good luck! What do you get if you win the contest," One farm pony stated, her straw hat rested over her long, braided blonde mane. Her light orange body sat relaxed on the floor beside Twilight Sparkle.
"I get to be, In the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash yelled, twirling in circles around the room. Her feathered wings fluttered around as she grew with excitement.
"Well Rainbow Dash, that's amazing!" Rarity began, fixing her curly purple mane. Rainbow Dash stopped in midair as she looked over to the clock.
"Oh shoot! I'm going to be late the contest starts in two hours and I don't have a routine,” she began looking down at Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, you need to help me! I need you to help and cheer me on!"
"Wait what about us, y'all remember us right?" The farm pony began looking up at Rainbow Dash, tilting her straw hat over her blonde mane.
"Unicorns and Earth ponies can’t come to Cloudsdale it's impossible, sorry guys but this future Wonderbolts' got to fly and get ready!" Rainbow Dash yelled, grabbing Fluttershy by the hoof. Rainbow Dash burst through the door, dragging the innocent animal loving Pegasus with her. The light yellow pony squealed as she flew through the air with Rainbow Dash.
"Um, Rainbow Dash, can you may be slow down? Please," she mumbled as they sped up and the wind echoed through her ears.
"No time, I need to get to my room and you need to help me with my routine,"
"Why me?"
"Well you are my only Pegasus friend aren't you?"
"Yes, but" her faint voice began, "I'm sure Soarin will love anything you do," Suddenly, Rainbow Dash stopped in midair as the words escaped the terrified Pegasi lips.
"What does Sourin have to do with this?" she asked hiding her love for Soarin with faint lies.
"We all know you love him, and remember at the gala, you saved his pie, he must respect you he has to like what you do?"
"Because this isn't about him, it’s about being a Wonderbolt!" Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy’s hoof as she began falling from the air. Rainbow Dash blasted through the white clouds to her home above Canterlot. She dropped Fluttershy onto her bed as she flew through the window. Her light blue hoofs landed on her rug, where a lightning bolt rested on its dark blue pattern.
"So, Fluttershy, should I do something like, this?" she asked, flying in 360's around her room at her high speed.
"That's nice,"
"Or this?" Rainbow Dash quoted, doing zigzags around the ceiling of her bedroom avoiding the lights.
"That's pretty,"
"Or a sonic Rainboom?" she shouted, pointing her hoofs at Fluttershy.
"I like all three," Fluttershy smiled, hiding her face as she slid off the cloud, like bed. She watched as Rainbow Dash’s smile faded and she walked to her small window. She closed the glass and rested her hoof on her cheek.
"Fluttershy, I'm, I'm not sure about tonight," she began watching the clouds move in the breeze and the Weather Patrol move the grey clouds away from Ponyville since the storm had passed.
"Why, why not?" she asked approaching her, hiding her wings and turning to look at her three butterflies on her flank, symbolizing her cutie mark and her love for animals.
"Well, the Wonderbolts are just, so amazing and what if, what if-"
"Soarin doesn't like you?" Fluttershy began, "oh, too harsh?"
"No, it's fine, that’s what I'm afraid of,"
"You're going to be great, but you need something to wear don't you?" Rainbow dash walked over to her closet, the doors had small posters of each Wonderbolt teammate. She threw dresses, hats and other objects around the room.
"A dress? Should I wear one; no it'll just slow me down. A hat? No it will fall off," she threw more and more objects around. Every time she asked a question, Fluttershy’ answer was kept from coming out of her mouth. "A bow? No too girly. Nothing? No, everypony is going to have something. A cape? Maybe, I'll put that on my bed,” she threw the light, white fluff, cloud like cape onto her bed where Fluttershy hopped out of its way.
"Rainbow Dash, maybe I would do your mane and hoofs, I mean you're beautiful I'm sure they'll notice you and love to watch you," Fluttershy smiled at Rainbow Dash.
"You'd do that for me?" Rainbow Dash smiled looking over at Fluttershy.
"Yea, sure" "You know I can't stand getting stuff done on me but I'll try, now lemme practice my routine," Rainbow Dash out together peace by peace of her routine to wow Soarin and the Wonderbolts. "Fluttershy! I have 30 minutes to get ready, help please?" Fluttershy approached with manespray, hoofpolish and other objects. She started on Rainbow Dash’s' mane, where she put a small ponytail by the bottom of it. She placed two golden leaves by her ears. Rainbow Dash watched as Fluttershy did her makeup and put on her golden sandals where the laces went up her leg. She left her without the cape.
"Wow Fluttershy, I love it. It's so simple," she smiled up at Fluttershy. A silence past them as Rainbow Dash’s' emotions dropped. "I'm gonna be late!" she screamed, grabbing Fluttershy' hoof and dragging her out the door at high speed. At the arena, Fluttershy watched as all the Pegasi practiced and got last minute fixings. Fluttershy walked to the stands, leaving Rainbow Dash behind. Suddenly, a pink land pony arrived from under the clouds. Her body, a light pink, on her flank laid three balloons and her mane a darker pink like cotton candy, curling a bouncing as she moved around.
"Rainbow Dash!" she called twirling in circles. She had five balloons of different colors tied to her that kept her floated above the floor.
"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash began walking over to the Pink Pony.
"Well, I was walking around Ponyville and I saw Twilight, Apple Jack, Rarity and Spike by the fountain in the center of town. I started listening because my Pinkie Senses told me to. I heard you were going to be in this contest so I went back to Sugarcube Corner and got some balloons and tied them to me, it was hard and when flying I was all, woo and woohoo and wee! And now I'm here," she smiled ear to ear, her eyes wide.
"Okay Pinkie, thanks for coming, go find Fluttershy,"
"Okay!" she yelled moving over to the stands. She moved her body by kicking her back legs. While turning Rainbow Dash watched as she kicked one of the contestants in the back of the head. Rainbow Dash giggled at Pinkie Pie's mistake and the Pegasus' reaction. An old Pegasus handed Rainbow Dash a number. Her grey curls bounced alone with her light brown body and faded cutie mark on her flank. The Pegasi cheered as the Wonderbolts entered the arena, made entirely out of clouds. Rainbow Dash felt a tap on her shoulder as she giggled at Pinkie Pie. She turned to see him, Soarin.
"Hey, you’re Rainbow Dash right?" he asked, jolting his navy blue mane out of his face.
"Oh my gosh, yea," she smiled, squealing with every word. Rainbow Dash felt her cheeks burn with his every movement.
"I've heard some things about you," he began. "Apparently you're the best in Cloudsdale?"
"Oh, who said that?"
"Almost everyone here, and if that's true, maybe you'll be a rookie, and I can help you with that," he smiled walking away and flying back to the judging table. Rainbow Dash smiled and fell to her backside, holding her number in her hoofs. Each contestant was called by number one at a time creating a routine and having the Wonderbolts smiling and the cheers wild. Suddenly, she was called.
"Contestant 7 please," Spitfire called her mane with two different shades if orange hair tied up and her yellow body hidden under her Wonderbolts uniform.
Rainbow Dash walked to the center of the floor, and began flapping her wings. Within a split second she began using agility and doing 360s around the arena. Her ears nearly touched the back of her mane as she tilted her head forward to pick up speed. She avoided the small obstacles set around the arena. Slowly, she had mastered her routine in the short two hours and all that was left was the Sonic Rainboom. She flew to the sky, her eyes watering as she stopped ahead of Celestia’s sun. As she took the small break and whipped her tears, she turned and headed downwards. Once she picked up speed, her tears flew back her face and her mane straightened and its sped blinded her. She had flown through the arenas floor and headed to Ponyville. Then it happened, the Rainboom. The sky filled with color and the rainbow wrapped around the arena. Rainbow Dash wrapped the rainbow that followed around the arena. People from Ponyville and Canterlot watched in awe as Rainbow Dash finished her routine. The arena went wild with cheers and shouting as she landed back on the floor below. The Wonderbolts flew from their judging stand over to Rainbow Dash.
"That was amazing!" Spitfire shouted as she approached the sweaty and tired Rainbow Dash.
"Never seen anything like it!" Blaze smiled as he went to shake Rainbow Dash’s hoof.
"So Rainbow Dash, you are the best, it's sad only seven people entered I wish there were more like you out there," Soarin stated walking in-between Spitfire and Blaze. Rainbow Dash blushed and smiled towards him as he complimented her routine.
"Oh my gosh really!?" she laughed squealing and giggling trying not to prance around him.
"Well, we need to pick a winner, be back here in an hour," Wave Chill quoted as he walked back to the stands. The other Wonderbolts followed in awe, except Soarin.
"I guess they can decide without me, I want to talk to you Rainbow Dash,"
"Me, really?" she quoted, hiding her face behind her hoofs as Soarin got closer.
"First follow me” he stated walking her past the fans and contestants to the outer steps of the arena. “Yea, you've got skills Rainbow Dash, I know you're gonna make it, there’s just one thing,"
"What is it?" she asked as Soarin stood above her, his cheeks blushing as he removed the hood of his uniform. His face laid the light blue color and large emerald eyes.
"I have heard around Cloudsdale that you really like me,”
“Yea, I do,” she blushed standing ahead of him.
“Well you seem nice and funny, during my routines I watch you go crazy. Last year at the Grand Galloping Gala, you did save my apple pie too,” he smiled walking inch by inch closer to her. “You seem like a really dedicated fan Rainbow Dash,”
“I really am,” she began, walking over to the edge of the cloud where the arena laid. “I’ve been a fan since I was just a filly, I met Spitfire when I was small and she was such an inspiration to me,”
“She has that effect,” he smiled, walking back over to Rainbow Dash. “She told me about that day,”
“She remembers it?”
“How can’t she forget about the small rainbow haired filly that ran over to her and started squealing and flying in circles around her?”
“I did that!?” Rainbow Dash blushed looking up at Soarin.
“Apparently so,” he finished, looking down at the Pegasus. Well Rainbow Dash, you have skills, and we need that in our team.”
“You really mean that?”
“Sure I do, you’re going to get it Rainbow Dash. I just need to say one thing before we go inside,”
“What’s that?” she asked, making eye contact with the Pegasi large emerald eyes.
“All the guys on the team would want to help you, but” he began looking down at her, his eyes glittering. “I would be jealous, so I want to ask if you’d let me help you,”
“You’d be jealous if they’d help me?” she asked, hiding her smile behind questions.
“What I’m saying is I kind of like you Rainbow Dash, you’re a special fan, you’re so talented and beautiful,” he smiled, blushing and giggling. He didn’t seem like a celebrity, more of a small boy with a crush.
“Awe, Soarin,” Rainbow Dash smiled, tilting her head at him. “Are you trying to ask me out?”
The Wonderbolts waited at the judging stand for Soarin after they had decided on the winner. He flew up to the stands, watching Rainbow Dash flap her wings with excitement and fly above the arena as they walked in the arena together. As she landed back down on the floor, the Wonderbolts began.
"All the entries were amazing, with such short time to practice, you all had amazing routines," Fire streak began, passing the envelope with the winner in it to Blaze. Blazes light yellow hoof lifted the envelope from Spitfires light yellow hoof with a tinged of orange.
"We only have one Wonderbolts uniform to fit one winner, and that Pegasus is," she began opening the envelope. Rainbow Dash began biting her nails, curling her wings and tail with excitement. "That Pegasus is, Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash jumped off the ground squealing and screaming. She flew up to the stands where Soarin, Spitfire, WaveChill, Blaze and the rest of the Wonderbolts were waiting for their Rookie to collect her uniform. Blaze handed Rainbow Dash the uniform and the microphone to speak.
"Well, hi everypony! I've wanted this since I met Spitfire when I was just a filly; I never gave up on my dream of becoming a Wonderbolt and it’s finally here. I worked so hard for this and it finally paid off, I'm a Wonderbolt!" she looked over to Soarin and then Fluttershy, who from the stands, jump and squealed for Rainbow Dash, along with Pinkie Pie. Soarin winked at Rainbow Dash as she squealed again with joy. Later that day, Rainbow Dash sat in her room with the uniform on. Fluttershy walked in with a smile on her shy face. Rainbow Dash pattered her wings in the blue uniform.
"Congratulations Rainbow Dash, you were great," Her shy voice excluded, hiding her turquoise eyes behind the light pink mane.
"I can't believe I'm a Wonderbolt, and Soarins girlfriend!" Rainbow Dash screamed running over to Fluttershy.
"What?" Fluttershy questioned, walking over to Rainbow Dash.
"Yea, before he announced the winner he asked if he could help me with being the new Wonderbolt, I still can’t get over it! But then said If the other guys helped me he would be jealous so only ‘he’ wanted to help me,”
"Then he didn’t ask you out?”
“No because then I asked if he was trying to ask me out and he said yes, so I obviously said yes,”
“So then why didn’t he say anything when you won?”
"I guess he wants to keep it from the public for a while," Rainbow Dash began, looking at every angle of the uniform. "Where is Pinkie Pie?"
"She popped her balloons after you won,"
"Was she okay?"
"Oh well, I don't know, I think so, should we go to everypony else and tell them, how you won?"
"Great idea!" Rainbow Dash shouted, grabbing Fluttershy hoof, flying out her window again down to Ponyville. Fluttershy curled up as Rainbow Dash’s' speed increased. They stopped in front of Twilight Sparkles library tree house. Dropping Fluttershy to the grass below, Rainbow Dash opened the door for Fluttershy and flew in. Twilight Sparkle slowly walked down the steps into the library as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash walked in.
"Guess who won?" Rainbow Dash smiled, strutting in her uniform as Twilight Sparkle walked down the light wooden steps.
"Oh Rainbow Dash, that's amazing! We have to tell everyone!" Twilight smiled, jumping around the bookshelves.
“I was thinking that too,” Rainbow Dash announced, flying around the room.
The next morning, Rainbow Dash waited for practice with the Wonderbolts. She sat in her room with her coal black mug lying in her hoofs filled to the run with warm coffee.
"They said they'd call me and tell me when and where to practice," she mumbled to herself on her bed. She looked up at the posters of the Wonderbolts as she waited. "I can't believe, I'm one of them now." She smiled and rested the mug on the floor as she fell to her back to the thoughts of her future going through her mind. Then, the high pitched ringing of the house phone began. She hesitated grabbing the large white phone off the beds edge.
“Hello?” she began, twirling her hoofs through her rainbow mane.
"Practice will be at the arena from yesterday in half an hour Rookie, be there in uniform, Soarin will meet you out front," on the other line was Spitfire, her voice scratchy and simple as always as she stated the facts.
"Thanks I'll be there," Rainbow Dash quoted, hanging up and grabbing her uniform. In the mirror stood a new Pegasus, no longer Rainbow Dash, but Rainbow Dash the Wonderbolt, the Rookie. Thoughts of Soarin went through her mind one at a time as the simple nick name visited her vivid thoughts.
“How will he tell the rest of the Wonderbolts that we're dating, that I'm his girlfriend, his Rookie?” She thought to herself as she lifted the hood over her face. She walked down to her small wooden front door where she left for the arena, slowly flying through Cloudsdale. Small applause from the town below went towards her.
"Thank you, thank you," she laughed, bowing down to them. Slowly, she flew to them as they called her name.
"Can I have an autograph?" one small purple filly asked, holding a poster of the Wonderbolts. Her light pink mane lay short and simple with small white swirls in it. Her flank lay purple like the rest of her body; she still didn’t have her cutie mark.
"But, I just became a Wonderbolt yesterday?" Rainbow Dash questioned holding the pen in her hoof.
"Well you fulfilled your dream, and I want you as my inspiration so I can reach my dream one day, like you." The small filly smiled as Rainbow dash signed the paper. Rainbow dash moved the pink and white mane out of the small filly’s face and looked into her dark purple eyes.
"You can do anything if you work for it, never give up on yourself and you’ll do amazing things." she smiled flying off to the arena. The filly giggled as Rainbow Dash left. Rainbow Dash flew through the large town of Cloudsdale in the sky. As she approached the arena, she looked over to the crowd of Pegasi outside waiting for the Wonderbolts. One small filly, orange with a dark pink mane caught her eye.
"Scootaloo?" she asked flying over to the filly with excitement.
"Rainbow Dash! You are finally a Wonderbolt, I knew you would be one someday," she smiled, her scruffy hair flying along with her small wings and blank flank.
"Really?" Rainbow Dash asked, kneeling down to the filly.
"Yea, and now you can agree I am your biggest fan!" she smiled, with her missing tooth. Rainbow Dash smiled and gave Scootaloo a brohoof and flew into the arena, where the Wonderbolts watched her walk in. Their equipment scattered around the arena floor was set up with; weights, rope, cones and others. She watched as Soarin approached her smiling with a small timer and clip board in his hand.
"You ready to start?" he asked as he moved in closer to her.
"Whenever you are," she stated smiling flapping her wings. Soarin moved in and kissed her cheek, leaving Rainbow Dash speechless.
"That's my Rookie, let’s start," He walked her over to the 100 yard dash where he had her stand at the starting line. "Okay, I want you to run, not fly, but run this as fast as you can when I say go okay?" Rainbow Dash nodded and waited for Soarin's leading. Then, the whistle blew and Rainbow Dash began. As she past the finish line, Soarin yelled out her time.
"3.5 seconds Rookie." He smiled, writing the numbers. Throughout the day, the Wonderbolts practiced and began a new routine with Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash waited at the water break for something, anything interesting to happen. "I know we need to practice like crazy, but Soarin could at least tell them how we are now together. All he does is telling me what to do and moves on and stays with Spitfire the entire time. I will be the best Wonderbolt out there, but I need more than just him telling me what to do?" She watched as Spitfire and Soarin went over the routine with each other. They flew around the arena, their routine was amazing to Rainbow Dash, she wanted to join, but instead sat alone on the steps of the arena waiting for Soarin with her water bottle as her only companion. Once he was finished with the routine with Spitfire, Rainbow Dash waited for him to approach her, but he never did. She stood up and flew over to him as he sat with Spitfire and Firestreak.
"Soarin, can I talk to you?" she asked tapping his shoulder as she flew over him hiding her face behind her scruffy rainbow mane.
"Sure Rookie," he quoted getting up and flying outside the arena with Rainbow Dash. "So, what do you want to talk about Rookie?" Rainbow Dash sat in silence for a few seconds, and took a deep breath.
"Well, yesterday you said you asked me out and that you’d be jealous if the other male Wonderbolts helped me. Well, you aren't acting it at all,"
"Why do you think that?" he asked sitting on the steps beside Rainbow Dash as her eyelashes fluttered.
"Well, first of all, Spitfire said you'd wait outside for me this morning and you didn't. When I came in you were with her. And during all the water breaks you were with her. Finally, you haven't even mentioned us being together to any of the team, and with me being with you that’s insulting," Rainbow Dash stated, turning her back on Soarin and looking over her uniform and hoofs as a single small tear trickled down her cheek.
"Rainbow, Spitfire is my partner for all our routines and it's been like that since I started, I was going to wait for you, but we had to set up. During the water breaks I need to talk to her about your progress since I'm training you and if I told the team about us, it would put stress on the team and us," he stated going ahead of Rainbow Dash and lifting her chin with his hoof.
"Really Soarin?" she asked, smiling at him and flapping her wings.
"How can I prove it?" he asked resting his hoof on the clouds below and getting closer to Rainbow Dash.
"Well you tell me," She asked, closing in on Soarin. Soarin smiled and leaned into Rainbow Dash, closing his eyes. As he was about to kiss her, Spitfire called him and Rainbow Dash from the arena. Soarin backed away from Rainbow Dash, biting his lip. He tried to mouth the words "sorry” but again, Spitfire called. He made an uncertain face as he lead Rainbow Dash into the arena. Soarin led her to another obstacle including agility. Cones set up in a line on a track waiting for Rainbow Dash.
"Use agility to complete this obstacle, you have to avoid all the cones or you will restart, you can use your wings, or run. Got it?" Rainbow Dash nodded as Soarin began timing her. She avoided each cone but watched as Spitfire approached Soarin, not noticing her. She tried to slow down, but rammed into Spitfire. They both crashed to the clouds below. As Rainbow Dash lay on top of Spitfire, her emotions dropped as Spitfire got angrier.
"Dammit Rookie!" she screamed pushing Rainbow Dash off her with her back legs.
"I'm so sorry Spitfire I, I didn't mean to, you just got in my way,"
"No don't blame me Rookie! I'm the leader of this group and I won't let you ruin that with your speed and 'agility' you got it?" She shouted, getting closer to Rainbow Dash.
"Spitfire that's enough!” Soarin shouted as Rainbow Dash hid her face behind her mane. "Get over it, you walked in her way, it's not her fault," Spitfires jaw dropped to the floor as Soarin stepped ahead of Rainbow Dash.
"Soarin, what is this Rookie to you?" she asked, temper lowering as he stepped ahead.
"My Rookie, and my girlfriend, my special sompony and everything you aren’t," The team looked over at Rainbow Dash as she backed away from Spitfire and Soarin. Spitfire laughed and backed away from Soarin and Rainbow Dash, mumbling words in which they couldn't hear. "Rainbow Dash, start again," Rainbow dash walked over to the starting line as the other Wonderbolts watched her. She shook herself up and got into position, waiting for Soarin. He started the whistle and she began flying around the cones with perfect agility once again.
"I think we had a rough day, maybe we should close early?" Spitfire announced as the Wonderbolts clapped for their rookie. The whistle blew and they began cleaning the equipment from the arena. Spitfire ignored Rainbow Dash and her stress bubbled “Oh no, someone I always looked up to hates me, she is going to kick me out of the Wonderbolts. I'll do anything to keep her from hating me, I just need to train hard, but I hurt her and fell on her. This is the worst first day I could have possibly had. I just want to go back to Ponyville and go to Applejack for help. Soarin isn't even treating me as a girlfriend, I know why but, he can at least seem happier around me. Does he like Spitfire? No, he can't he asked out me.” Rainbow Dash watched as the female Wonderbolts walked into the bathroom. As she walked in, she watched as they took off their uniforms. She joined and folded hers into its bag and left the restroom, without the girls. “Maybe, it's just because I'm new, maybe by next week I'll fit in more?” She asked as she flew out of the arena, not wanting to look back.
"Rainbow!" Soarin called from the arena. "We need to talk." Rainbow dash flew over to Soarin and landed on the clouds. "We need to finish something,"
"What?" she asked in sudden questions. Soarin quickly moved in and kissed Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash lay shocked as he pushed up against her. She closed her eyes and felt his heat on hers. The wind oh his wings flapping shifted her hair as he backed away, smiling at her
Rainbow Dash sat on her bed, looking over at her Wonderbolts uniform. She could still taste Soarin on her blue lips. She walked around, thinking about it over again. Slowly, she walked out her door and flew down to Ponyville. Over the small hills laid Apple Acres. From above, the small red barn lay on the grassy plain, surrounded by the hundreds of apple trees. Rainbow Dash flew down to Apple Jack in the crowd of trees as she bucked another apple tree.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, what you up to?" she asked as she filled another basket with fresh apples. “Well, I’m back from practice, and have nothing to do since Soarin is busy;" she quoted grabbing an apple from the basket.
"What about Soarin?" Apple Jack asked, bucking another apple tree.
"Didn't I tell you?"
"No, what's goin on with y'all?" She replied, pulling the wagon o the red barn over the hill.
"Well, before they announced I won the contest yesterday, Soarin asked me to be his 'Rookie' and in Wonderbolts talk, that means girlfriend,"
"Wow Rainbow! That's just plain terrific!" Apple Jack jumped up, clacking her hoofs together for Rainbow Dash. Her blonde braid jolted along with her flank, where three red apples laid.
"Yes, but he's always busy and he's always with Spitfire for the routines,"
"Well, Rainbow, he is a Wonderbolts. That needs a lot of work, they're amazing acrobatic artists and of course he's gonna be busy. He's famous," in silence Rainbow Dash walked beside Apple Jack.
"Well, Apple Jack I should head home. I have practice in the morning,"
"You do that, I need to get more apples," Rainbow Dash nodded and flew off into the clouds. Her wings pattered slowly as she approached a small white cloud. Rainbow Dash laid down on the cloud, her hoof on her cheek as she watched the town below. "This is going to be harder than I thought," she thought to herself. The people below accompanied by their family and friends walked around through the shops and homes. She stood on the cloud and bolted to her house above the clouds. Walking through the doors, made her knees weak, "What if we don't last? That should mess up the entire team with two people hating each other on it. She walked to her bedroom, where she fell on her bed, looking up at the posters of each Wonderbolt. The small hearts and lip markings over Soarin's posters made her smile and giggle at herself. "Well, maybe it's not as bad as I'm taking it."
Over the next few weeks, the Wonderbolts performed over Cloudsdale, their routines filled with amazing detail and color. Rainbow Dash had grown closer with the team and Soarin. Spitfire had grown on Rainbow Dash and her skills. The Wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash sat in the chairs of Spitfires home as they went over a new routine with each other.
"Rainbow Dash would you mind leading this routine?" Fire Streak asked looking over at Rainbow Dash and Soarin.
"Really?" she smiled, her wings standing straight and mane frizzy from their recent practicing in the arena to practice agility.
"Yea, we thought we'd give you the chance," Spitfire chuckled, writing on the plan papers. "One more thing, fellow Wonderbolts, I was with Princess Celestia this morning and we have been given an amazing offer," she smiled, getting up from the mahogany table. The walls behind her, rested a dark blue color with small white specks that leaded to a golden colored chandelier hanging above the table. The Wonderbolts in full body uniform watched Spitfire walk over to the other end of the table.
"Come on Spitfire; tell us what did the Princess say?" Silver lining announced lifting his white curls and thin face with anxiety.
"We all know the Grand Galloping Gala is next month. Princess Celestia gave us the opportunity to perform again this year," Rainbow Dash, Soarin, Fleet Foot, Blaze, Fire Streak and the rest of the Wonderbolts smiles went from ear to ear. "We can perform and then change into formal wear unlike last year,"
"If anyone wants, my friend Rarity can make dresses and suits, I can get her to help, you just need to tell me what you want and I can bring it to her in the morning." Rainbow Dash announced to the team. They grabbed paper from their notebooks that lay on the table, each cover was a dark blue with their symbol on a yellow Lightning bolt, with wings for the stallions and without for the mares.
-------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Rainbow Dash sat in front of the house. She watched as the rainbow in color water trickled off her yard and to the sky. She watched as the sun rose from the horizon straight ahead. Beside laid her dark purple folder, where the Wonderbolts ideas for Rarity's creations laid, all twelve of them. She looked up to the large, cloud white, three story complex above her. Its roof lay rounded where a light rainbow flew from its top and landed behind it.
"I should stop by 'Sugarcube Corner' for breakfast with Pinkie Pie," she mumbled to herself, grabbing the folder and flying off the property. She flapped her light blue wings to the direction of 'Sugar Cube Corner.' Not paying attention, she felt a thump as she flew into another Pegasus. She twirled around as she rammed the other Pegasus out of their direction. Straightening herself, she checked the folder for the papers, all intact.
"Oh I'm sorry-" she began looking over to the Pegasus.
"I just don't know what went wrong!" the Pegasus began, yellow eyes crossed and grey body tangled in it.
"Yea, it's a mystery," she sarcastically began holding a hoof out to the grey Pegasus, "Why are you up so early Derpy?"
"I heard you are a Wonderbolt," she began, nasally voice in all as Rainbow Dash helped her untangle herself.
"yea I am," Rainbow Dash concluded, as Derpy untangled her grey legs.
"Nice going Rainbow Dash," shut moaned, hopping on the white cloud below her.
"I got to go, please don't cause any more damage then you already have,” Rainbow Dash quoted, flying off to Sugarcube Corner. The town lay quiet as the early hours approached. Few stores were open as Rainbow Dash landed by town hall. The little fillies and colts skipped and pranced towards school, where their teacher happily approached her students and grabbed their papers as they walked in the small red building as the bell rang for them. In the center of town, the few stands were setting up, getting ready for the daily market, they surrounded Town hall. The building stood tall, a small reflection of the sun sat on the highest window. It seemed to resemble an old, two story carousels with its few colors and pillars. Other shops and buildings circled the town hall on the outer parts of the stands as Rainbow Dash looked for Sugarcube Corner. The building was easy to notice; it seemed to be made entirely out of candy and large cupcakes. Unlike most of the shops around, the building was open, due to their constant cooking if fresh treats and sweets. Rainbow Dash pushed open the doors of the building to be greeted by the smells of cookies, doughnuts, cupcakes and the sounds of the twins crying. Rainbow Dash walked up the old wooden creaking staircase, avoiding the temptation of the pastries behind the counters glass.
"Pinkie Pie?" she called up the staircase as the twins crying faded.
"In here!" Pinkie Pie called from a small room in the back of the building. As Rainbow dash walked into the room, she was accompanied by Pinkie Pie and her breakfast. Grass pancakes and bacon, her favorite. "Don't be shy, eat."
Rainbow Dash gladly sat in the old, faded hemlock chair beside Pinkie Pie. She grabbed a small plate of the grass pancakes ad Pinkie Pie, literally dove into her meal.
"So Rainbow, whatcha doing today?" pinkie Pie stated, pancakes falling out of her mouth.
"I'm stopping by Rarity's boutique to leave some plans for the Gala next month,"
'Oh yea, can I come I want to go to the Gala too,"
"Well maybe, but the Princess didn't send invites yet, only to the Wonderbolts since we're performing,"
"You guys are performing there!?" Pinkie Pie squealed, causing the twins in the other rooms to cry once again. "Oopsies,"
"Yea, I can probably get you, Spike and the girls in if I try, I'll work on it. I got to go through to get these ideas to Rarity." Rainbow Dash began getting up from the hemlock table. "Thanks for the pancakes they were great I'll see you later," Rainbow Dash walked back down the wooden staircase with the folder in her hoof. Mr. and Mrs. Cake set up the treats and switched over the business hours sign to ‘open’ as Rainbow Dash walked out of the sweet smelling building. She lifted herself up off the ground below and began to fly herself across town to the Carousel Boutique. The air smelt fresh and open as the grass rushed past her. The few more shops opened and their doors read "open" as rainbow Dash watched few more ponies and unicorns walk into certain shops. She stopped herself ahead of the boutique as Rarity looked out the window.
"Come in Rainbow Dash, how I can help you?" she began, her mane held back in a purple bun with her styling glasses resting on her nose.
"I have some ideas from the Wonderbolts," she began walking into the freshly cleaned boutique. Where the walls held high and the simple pink, purple and white decorated the room. A small stage where four mirrors lay in the corner of the room, complete with a single changing room and pink curtain. "For the gala, the Wonderbolts, drew or wrote down what they'd like you to create,"
"Oh my, the Wonderbolts want me to design their outfits for the Grand Galloping Gala next month!?" she shouted, grabbing the dark purple folder from Rainbow Dash's hoofs.
"Yea, can you do them?" she asked, walking beside Rarity as she scampered around the boutique.
"But of course, I just need you here for today to help,"
"What for?" Rainbow Dash asked, beside Rarity.
"Well you know them and their personalities, I don't I'd need your help, drawings and words can't help me," Rainbow Dash nodded as Rarity walked over to her manikins what resembles light yellow ponies without manes, horns or wings. Rarity took a simple design out of the folder as it sat on the desk, where cloths, string and needles lay upon its wooden top. Rainbow Dash sat on the white tiled floor as Rarity looked over the design.
"So, a mare, her name is Blaze?" She asked, grabbing a black cloth from her closet.
"Oh Blaze, let’s see, she likes the color yellow and white, she is about my size and has an orange mane. She likes to speak and act before thinking and is the youngest Wonderbolt who is kind of vain,"
"Well that's good for Blaze," Rarity began designing a rough copy of the dress.
"Well I'll just do small beginning of each dress and suit, I'll need a description of every Wonderbolt," Rarity smiled over to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash let out a small sign as Rarity pulled out another design and moved to another manikin.
Over the next two weeks Rarity finished a few of the dresses and suits for the Wonderbolts. The Gala was closing in on them fast with only two weeks left yet, Rainbow Dash didn't have a dress or the routine down completely and she was the head flyer. At the arena the Wonderbolts began working on their routine with Rainbow Dash.
"Come on Rainbow it's not that hard," Lightning Streak commented, flying over to Rainbow Dash as she messed up the routine again.
"Leave her be Lightning Streak she's trying and we have a few weeks," Misty began, her lighter blue and turquoise mane flowing in the breeze of her light yellow wings.
"Girls, just try again and leave the Rookie be,” Spitfire shouted from ahead of the Wonderbolts, leading them again with Soarin. Rainbow Dash looked up from hiding her face to see Soarin smiling at her. He waved his hoof to call her over. She flew over to him as her cheeks blushed.
"You can do this Rainbow don't listen to them," he smiled, holding her shoulders. He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips, sending her back to her spot in the routine. The Wonderbolts learned to get over the fact that Rainbow Dash and Soarin loved each other, but Spitfire did not.
"Don't start that Soarin," Spitfire announced in-front of the Wonderbolts, ignoring Rainbow Dash. Soarin looked over to Rainbow Dash and rolled his eyes as they began again. Rainbow Dash went along with them, going step by step throughout the routine, watching Soarin’s movements and patterns. The other Wonderbolts got it with ease while Rainbow Dash seemed to get stuck at the same part. They went over it for another hour as Rainbow Dash slowly got each part. Her agility was put to the test as the routine got more and more difficult. They turned in separate ways and separated. Spitfire, Soarin, High Winds and Rainbow Dash rose above the rest of the other Wonderbolts and closed in on each other, spinning in circular motions around each other. They got closer and closer until their tails touched each other’s noses and separated, they seemed to be falling back to the Wonderbolts below where they joined again. Each Wonderbolt had seemed to be running out of breath as the four joined the others below. Spitfire stopped and flew above the working pegasi.
"That's enough for today!" she shouted, stopping them from their routine. "we worked hard enough you all can go home," Rainbow Dash stopped and looked over to Soarin who waited for her in the center of the arena. She walked over to him, giving her wings a rest as he jolted his head towards the entrance. She walked over beside him where all she heard was the sound of his heavy breathing. He walked over to their stuff with her and picked up a small bag as Rainbow Dash bent over to grab her. He lifted his back hoof and whacked Rainbow Dash's back side as she bent over. She jolted her head up quickly turning to his and pulled him in for a long kiss. She laughed as he held her hips and dropped his bag to the floor. He smiled and rested his forehead on hers as she giggled.
"Come on Dash, let’s go get dinner or something," he quoted backing away from Rainbow Dash as he grabbed his bag of the floor. Rainbow Dash smiled as she flew out of the arena with Soarin. He grabbed her hoof and pulled her through Cloudsdale into the town. Each building sat on its large cloud, white and clean with small signs naming each one. Soarin pulled her into one of the larger buildings. Before she could read its sign Soarin already pulled her though the doors.
"I called up before about the table for two?" Soarin asked, approaching one of the colts. His coat was a dirty light blue color, his mane a lighter brown and his black mustache curled at each end. Soarin walked with rainbow Dash out the back door of the Restaurant to a balcony where a single table waited for them. Its darker blue tablecloth rested over the sides, beside two silver chairs with matching cushions. Celestia set the sun down over the horizon as Rainbow Dash and Soarin sat down. The sunset flared over to them as they lifted the menus.
"Soarin, this is so sweet, why did you do this?"
"Well, you had a tough past few weeks Dashie, you need a break," he quoted resting his elbows on the tablecloth.
"Awe Soarin, this is sweet," she smiled resting her elbows by his. She leaned over and pecked his lips as his eyes glittered.
"So, Dashie," he began leaning down to his bag under the table. As he went to open his mouth again, their waiter came over, his mane bright yellow and his body a dark brown, a white apron and black bow tie covered him as he handed them their water and bread.
"Anything you like on the menu?" he asked, holding his pen in his mouth and notepad in his hoof.
"I'd have the salad dandelion salad please," Rainbow Dash requested handing the menu to the waiter waiting for Soarin.
"I'll have the same please," Soarin quoted handing the waiter the menu. As the stallion walked away Rainbow Dash turned back to Soarin.
"As I was saying," he laughed, reaching back down to the bag. "So you know I love you to death Dashie, right?"
"Well, yea of course," Rainbow Dash got nervous as he lifted himself back up. He hid something behind his back as he sat back up. Rainbow Dash's heart raced herself as Soarin moved the box onto the table. Its black cube sat in front of her, she felt her heart beating and racing itself.
"Well Rainbow Dash,” he began leaning into her, his elbows on the table. "Open it Dashie, don't be scared." Rainbow Dash grabbed the box to reveal a pair of sapphire lightning bolt earrings and mane clip.
"Oh god Soarin, you terrified me, but they're so beautiful," she smiled, a small tear falling from her rose eyes.
"Not like you Dashie," he smiled, leaning in and kissing her.
In the next two weeks, Rainbow Dash had mastered the routine for the Gala and Rarity had finished all the dresses and suits, for the Wonderbolts and the girls. The gala was that night; The Wonderbolts practiced and perfected their routine over and over.
"Okay, everyone be at the castle in an hour in uniform, we will perform the routine once and then we go change into our formal wear and meet in the VIP section, okay?" Spitfire announced as the finished the routine again. The Wonderbolts flew from the arena without further instruction. Rainbow Dash watched as Soarin waited at the door for her. Spitfire flew in front of her to talk to Soarin before Rainbow Dash could open her mouth. Rainbow Dash ignored it and flew down to Rarity's Carousel Boutique where she burst through the doors.
"Rarity, are you done!?" She called through the boutique. Rarity flew back in shock as Rainbow Dash flew through the doors.
"Goodness Rainbow Dash!" she shouted, putting Rainbow Dash's dress in its box. "Yes and Twilight got all of us tickets for the Gala if you were wondering,"
"Oh god I'm sorry guys I forgot to get the tickets,"
"its fine we'll be there anyway so meet us there," Rarity began, handing her the box. "I must go get ready so I'll see you there."
"Yea me to, seeya," Rainbow Dash quoted, bolting through the door of the boutique. The wind blew through her mane as she past the few clouds in the sky. Cloudsdale rushed around as the minutes counted down until the Grand Galloping Gala. Many shops closed as Rainbow Dash past the to lead herself to her house. The door unlocked easily as Rainbow Dash approached it, throwing herself up the stairs. She flew into her dark purple bedroom, throwing the box onto her bed. Rainbow Dash grabbed her uniform from her closet and threw it to her bed as well as the box. She grabbed the earrings and headpiece Soarin got her and put them in the box with her dress.
Rainbow Dash had showered and placed her uniform on herself, hoping rarity would help her with her makeup and hair after their performance. She waited for Soarin on her front steps, holding the box in her hoofs. With a knock on her door she ran down, leaving the box on her back. She opened the door to Soarin, behind him, the large carriage carried all the Wonderbolts. He walked her off her property and into the carriage. Rainbow Dash sat beside him with the box in her hoofs. Soarin moved Rainbow Dash's mane behind her ear to look for the lightning bolt earrings and clip he gave her.
"Soarin, they're in the box," she smiled kissing his cheek.
"Just making sure Dashie, he smiled leaning his head on her shoulder. She kissed his forehead as Spitfire looked over to them. The Wonderbolts awed at the two as Rainbow Dash kissed his forehead. She simply smiled and leaned on Soarin.
Slowly, they approached the Castle, where Princess Celestia greeted her guests. The castle stood tall on the side of the mountain. It viewed all of Equestria from its point. A large path leads itself to the castle. Its gold, white and purple colors attracted the eyes as the stars reflected off it. Tower after tower stood tall and beautiful. The Wonderbolts stepped out of the carriage and walked down to the castle where Princess Celestia greeted them.
"Princess, it's an honor," they all quoted, bowing at her foot.
"Well Wonderbolts, I'd say the same, but you guys must perform in a few minutes or our guests." she smiled down at the Wonderbolts. "Now hurry, they are filling the arena now."
"Yes princess Celestia," they quoted, rushing off to the arena. Rainbow Dash's heart pounded in her chest as she ran beside Soarin. The castle walls decorated themselves with white,gold, silver and purple tiles and gems. They suddenly stopped, the doors to the arena stood ahead of them. They placed their boxes and formal wear on the outside of the door and walked in together as practiced. The crowd cheered and shouted their names. In first row; Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Spike and Rarity waited for Rainbow Dash to perform. They circled up around the arena as practiced and waited for their horn to sound. The echoing of the horn rushed and they began. Circling the arena the Wonderbolts rode up the sides, rising as they went on,closing in on each other. Rainbow Dash Flew to the center with Soarin, Spitfire and High Winds.they sped up, circling each other with their tails touching each others noses. Below, the other Wonderbolts circled the arena. Rainbow Dash lead them all, raising above the arena with them. They closed in and suddenly, as planned, dropped down back to their spots from before. The Wonderbolts created a tornado- like structure with Rainbow dash above them all. She flew up to face the moon, and began dropping downwards. She felt her tears fly down her face as she sped up. She felt the wind wrap around her and the colors burst, she completed a Sonic Rainboom. Before the rainbow could ware off, she completed a heart above the arena. The other Wonderbolts circled it and flew threw it, Along with Soarin and Rainbow Dash. The crowd cheered and screamed as the routine continued. As the Wonderbolts lowered themselves back down to circle the arena once again, Soarin pulled Rainbow Dash back up to the fading hear, where he held her, and kissed her in front of all of Equestria to see.
They flew from the heart and out the doors of the arena as the crowd screamed and demanded more. Rainbow Dash landed on the tile floords infront of Soarin.
"What was that!?" she screamed as Soarin smiled.
"My addition to the routine," he smiled pulling her in. She pushed away as he went to kiss her.
"No Soarin, we weren't meant to do that. All of Equestria could hate me right now. We weren't allowed to tell anyone," She complained as the other Wonderbolts came in from the arena. Soarin lifted his head from the tile floor, only to watch Rainbow Dash run off with her dress.
As Rainbow Dash ran to the bathroom with her dress, she fell to the stall floor.She covered her rose colored eyes as tears trickled down her face. A firmilliar few voices echoed through the black and white bathroom.
"Rainbow Dash?" they called. Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Apple Jack.
"yea, she mumbled, coming out of the stall.
"That was amazing, especially the end!" they shouted, running towards her.
"Where is Pinkie Pie?" she asked as they approached her.
"With Spike in the dance hall,"
"Oh honey, you better let me do your makeup and hair," Rarity commented, pulling a bag from behind her. Each of their dresses customized their personalities. Fluttershy, covered from head peace to hoof in green ruffles. Her light pink hair in a messy bun, topped with a small white tiara. Her vest lay white and simple as her caps say with two different shades of green ruffles down to the tip of her tail. Apple Jack let the color blue and white compliment her. Her hat, no longer its light brown, but white topped her blonde braid. The vest was a light blue and white polo, a white collar with a black and gold bole tie.Her cape rested a simple, flat white color down to her hoofs. Twilight Sparkle had nearly the same dress from last year. The purple neck peace that wrapped around to the cape, its large poof rested a simple purple color with a few constellations near the bottom, not letting her hoofs or tail show. Rarity's dress was extravagant, as always. Her mane was straightened,yet still wavy, a mall white and purple tiara rested between her ears. The vest lay simple and white, but lead to a large red, glittering bow on her back. The cape lowered itself to her hoofs. Where small riffles made a triangular shape to her tail. with a single yellow rose near the tip. The entire dress, covered in glitter and simple detail.
Rainbow Dash sat as Rarity whipped her mane to the side, clipping it with the headpiece Soarin gave her. Rainbow Dash's dress, a near transparent purple color with few white stripes rested over her back and hoofs. A white neck peace with the same lightning bolt as her earrings rested on her chest and wrapped to the cape. rainbow Dash put in the earrings and looked into the mirror, where she let her eyes water up.
"Soarin had me make it like this," rarity stated as the other Ponies walked out of the bathroom.
"He did?" rainbow Dash asked, tying the laces of her wedges.
"He sure did, he loves you Rainbow dash,"
"I know," Rainbow Dash smiled, looking at the sapphire lightning bolts in the mirror.
Rainbow Dash searched for Soarin throughout the castle. She lead herself to the roof, where she found her prince charming awaiting her. His mane slicked forward and his suit a metallic silver rested over his back. His shoes lay the same color and shined in the stars. On his chest, the same sapphire lightning bolt rested.
"hello Beautiful," he quoted, waiting for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash ran over, jumping on Soarin and kissing him. They seperated and looked over the land of Equestria together.
"Hey Soarin," she began, looking over at him. "i love you,"
