It was an astonishing day for every pony in Equestria, well except for Rainbow Dash. Spitfire says, "Wonder-bolts, you are going to fly high, and dive then make a perfect landing. Rainbow Crash, don't mess this up!" Rainbow Dash nodded and had a worried expression on her face. Rainbow Dash had sweaty hooves.

Sure, being a wonder-bolt is hard and it is not easy as clearing clouds but for her it's been a terrible day when she flew earlier today, she crashed into a garbage can and the others blurted "Rainbow Crash!' Spitfire said "Wonder-bolts! this is the final challenge of the day but only if all of us do this trick successfully! or we will do 500 pushups."

Everypony even spitfire, was glaring at Rainbow Dash except Soarin.

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath, but it was cut stubby when Spitfire yelled, "Rainbow Crash, since you're doing terrible today, I want you to go first."

rainbow Dash said "Oh, great..." She said when she rolls her eyes. then Spitfire yelled "NOW!"
Rainbow Dash quickly flew high in the sky. she whispered, "So far so good, just fly down and land on your hooves."

She got so nervous that she started to fly south so fast she didn't see where she was going and collided with Spitfire. Spitfire howled "RAINBOW, YOU FAILED.. EVERYONE DO 500 PUSHUPS!"

The other wonder-bolts moaned; they glance angrily at Rainbow Dash. They got on their hooves and started to do the pushups.
Many hours later, everypony was done. Everypony was going to the Lockeroom and putting on their casual clothes. Soarin said "Rainbow, can I talk to you?"

Rainbow Dash said, "Yes? look I am sorry ha ha.. I got nervous i didn't perform well on the other exercises." Soarin sighed and said "Rainbow Dash, you should be more careful, and my hooves are sore cause of you, if you wanted to impress us and make us love you, you failed.. Even though I am the nicest wonder-bolt, I still think you did a bad job out there!" Soarin walked away.

Rainbow Dash remembers what just happen and the first time she became a wonderbolt. She told back her salty tears. She decided to remain strong she marched to Spitfire's office and said "Hello Spitfire!"



Spitfire looked up from her desk and said "Oh, crash, what do you want, you came to apologies for your awful performance?" Rainbow Dash giggled and said "Ha ha, no! I decided.. I will quit.. I am tired to you ponies bullying me and life as a wonder-bolt is hard, you guys used to be my heroes but now you guys are the meanest ponies of Equestria, I quit." Rainbow Dash said with her face turning berry red.

Rainbow dash turned in her badge and walked out of Spitfire's office and left the Wonder-bolts academy


She turned around and glanced at the Wonder-bolt HQ, and muttered "Goodbye, I won't miss you."

she flew away in the speed of sound. Then, she was walking around Ponyvill finding a job she could work for a while, even if there is no pay. Then she saw a poster on Sugar-cube Corner.

the poster looks like this:

Take to the Skies!

Join the Equestrian Air force today with benefits that will blow you out of the water.
in the middle it shows the face of Princess Celestria and 3 jets flying pass her.

Rainbow Dash said, "I can fly and the poster seems promising, plus I can fly and I want to see the outstanding benefits the Equestrian Air force has."

Then she examines the poster and saw that if you're interested in joining the Equestrian Air Force, you must go to Canterlot. Rainbow Dash yelled "I can't wait, I will be the best Equestrian Air force member ever!"

She dashed to Canterlot. Then she saw a stallion who is red with a green mane, Rainbow Dash zoomed next to him and said "Are you the one who trains recruits of the Equestrian Air force?" The stallion said "Yes, my name is Staff Sergeant Trainer Do" Rainbow Dash said "Can I join the Equestrian Air force?" He replied, "Yes."

The stallion said "Okay noobs, get on your hooves and do pushups, now!" he said so loud that everyone in a 5 mile radius can hear him, The recruits got on their hooves and did push-ups then they went through flight simulation and learned what each button do and how to fly helicopters. Rainbow Dash preformed first-class ahead of everyone else.

After 8 weeks, everyone graduated with flying colors, Rainbow Dash even got her own cap.
her uniform is camo green and she wears a dark green cap, she is a proud member of the Equestrian Air force. She then went back to her home in Cloudsdale, unknown to Rainbow Dash, her friends were waiting there to ask her how Wonder-bolt Training went.
Rainbow Dash said, "Even though I am not a wonder-bolt, the EAF is awesome, we even had a party, and the instructor gave us our first ride in a combat helicopter while telling us how to use each button the correct way." Rainbow Dash had a bright smile on her face.

She opened her front door with her hooves and then Twilight said, "Oh Hey, Rain-" Twilight looked confuse, she said "Who are you, where is Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash said, "It's me, I joined the Equestrian Air Force!" The other mares gasp they were shocked because Rainbow Dash wanted to be a wonder bolt ever since she attended her first Wonder-bolt air show. Rainbow Dash said "Look, I will explain, I was being bullied and tired of being called Rainbow Crash and Soarin, my crush rudely stood up to me and I had enough of the abuse, so I decided to quit, I saw a poster of Equestrian Air Force and I joined, that is why you haven't seen me in 8 weeks!''
The other mares nodded and Fluttershy said, "I am so proud of you."
Rainbow Dash said "Thanks!"

Rarity said, "Darling, that dress looks old school, but I am curious... what did you do?" Rainbow Dash looked at Rarity with a mad look since she insulted the uniform.

Rainbow Dash said, "in training we flew planes in a simulation, we did exercise, it was rough. And today me and the others had a party and we went on our first official helicopter ride!"
Rainbow Dash added, "It was so much fun.."

Taking a taxi, Rainbow Dash said, "I love being in the Equestrian Air Force, I earn lots of money, and my favorite thing about it is that I get to fly planes." She chuckled as she rode the taxi, she was in the force for one year and has so much money, she can buy two mansions. Rainbow Dash said, "I LOVE being in the Equestrian Air Force, I earn a lot of money, and my favorite thing about it is I get to fly Including myself and my comrades! Sometimes we race against each other!"

The taxi dropped her off at Canterlot, she raced to the gate of the base where the guards yelled "HALT!" Rainbow Dash displayed her Airmen ID card and they let her in.

Seeing many ponies riding planes, lifting dumbbells, and fixing planes, Rainbow Dash called out to them, "Hey ponies! " A light green mare looked at Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash noticed the mane of the mare, she looked familiar.


Suddenly, Rainbow Dash asked, "Lighting Dust!" Lighting Dust looked at Rainbow Dash and asked, "Oh hey, Rainbow Dash. What's up, did you get fired?" She asked sarcastically. Lighting Dust laughed. Rainbow Dash said with her hooves covering her face, "No, I quit the Wonder-Bolts." Lighting Dust turned around and looked at them.

"Oh okay. Wanna be friends again?" Lighting Dust asked Rainbow Dash, who hesitated for a moment before answering, "Err, sure." Next, the two agreed to do a helicopter race from here to Cloudsdale.
Rainbow Dash said, "Last one there is a rotten Pegasi!"

Then, Rainbow Dash dashed to the helicopter, and started to ride it to Clouds-dale.

After a while, the manes were tied, neck to neck. Then, Rainbow Dash got to Clouds-dale first. She landed the helicopter and yelled, "Yes! I won!" she said as bragging.

Lighting Dust said, "Good Game, Dash!" Then, the two went down to the base. Then Derpy said, "Oh hey Dash, nice to see you! I am a sergeant here." Rainbow Dash said, "That's cool, I been here for a year! this is so much better than the wonder-bolts."

Then she heard an angry voice coming from no-where saying, "Why do they suck?" Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Lighting Dust turned around and saw Soarin. Soarin said "Why you think they suck?"

Rainbow Dash said "Soarin, I though you and the other Wonder-bolts have an air show to present!"
Soarin said, "Well, yes but there is no more Wonder-bolts, ever since YOU left the Wonder-bolts, nopony came to see us preform, Spitfire disband us, and I had to work in a rock form to afford my house and to pay off my debt! nopony sees us cause what we did to you reach Ponyvill, and you were the best pony on the Wonder-bolt reserve!" Rainbow Dash said, "I am the best pony on the Wonder-bolts."
Soarin moaned and left.


" I can't decide to feel guilty or to feel proud, proud cause I left those mean ponies and find something that sticks to my passion, but guilty since I just destroyed the Wonder-bolts, the FASTEST, and COOLEST Pegasus in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said. Derpy said, "DOn't feel bad buddy, those ponies were mean and plus, this job is awesome."



Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah, this job is 20% cooler!"
