My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Sonic Rainboom

A/N: (The party is over and most of the clean up is done, but Rainbow Dash is still picking up pieces of balloons, and she's not happy.)

Rainbow Dash: Seriously? Just for a prank?

Applejack: Keep cleaning up, Rainbow. (she turns to the camera) Hey, out there in the real world, or wherever you might live, so the party did end on a high note with Timon getting splashed and turned pink. However, some pony thought it would be funny to sneak up behind Dede42 and pop a large amount of balloons. So, she's recovering from that trauma, and Rainbow here is cleaning up her own mess.

(Cutscene to Dede42's bedroom, where she is curled up on the bed, mumbling.)

Dede42: Balloons…no…no more…balloons.

(Back to the writers studio.)

Rainbow Dash: It was a joke!

Applejack: Yeah, one that traumatized Dede42. You know as well as I do, she had a bad experience with balloons when she was a kid.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah.

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: HOW TO HELP RAINBOW DASH?

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville and on a nearby hill, Rainbow Dash was flying back and forth behind Fluttershy. "Now, what have we learned?" she asked.

"Loss of control," Fluttershy answered.

Rainbow Dash nodded. "Good."

"Screaming and hollering," the yellow pegasus recited.

"Yes, and most importantly?" the blue pegasus asked.

"Passion!" Fluttershy declared.

"Right!" said Rainbow Dash, landing in front of her friend. "So now that you know the elements of a good cheer, let's hear one."

Fluttershy inhaled and spoke. "Yay."

"… Ugh," Rainbow Dash groaned, covering her face with her hoof. "You're gonna cheer for me like that? Louder."

"Yay."

"Louder!"

"Yay."

"Louder!"

Fluttershy took a deep breath. "Yaaay."

"Ugh…" Rainbow Dash groaned again and fell onto her back with a thud.

"Too loud?" Fluttershy asked and earned a shaking head. "Oh."

After trying and failing to get Fluttershy to cheer loudly, Rainbow Dash was now standing on a cloud, and she was going to practice her routine while the yellow pegasus did her best to cheer her on. She took a deep breath to steady herself. "And now, phase one of my routine." And she shot off into the sky and weaved through a series of trees effortlessly while her friend cheered quietly. "Phase two."

Shooting into the sky, Rainbow Dash got three large clouds spinning in different directions by flying around them quickly. "Here we go. Phase three. The sonic rainboom." She then shot back toward the ground, moving faster and faster as the air streamed around her, turning white. "C'mon!" she grunted and panicked when the air started resisting. "Uh-oh." And she was shot back into the sky, screaming.

Over at the library, Twilight Sparkle magically placed a book on a shelf and sighed. "Last one," she said, smiling gratefully at her twin sister and their friends. "Thank you so much for helping me clean up all these books, guys. It was a crazy week of studying." Hearing a familiar scream, they looked toward the nearest window, just as Rainbow Dash came hurtling inside and crashed into them, knocking all of the books and scrolls off the shelves, burying them.

Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Sunrise Blossom, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all grunted as they dug themselves out of the pile of books.

Fluttershy flew through the window and landed on the stairs. "Rainbow Dash, you rock! Woohoo," she cheered and then gasped when she saw the books on the floor. "Did my cheering do that?" she asked, worried.

Rainbow Dash shot the yellow pegasus a look and then flushed when her friends glowered at her. "Hehe. Sorry about that ladies," she apologized sheepishly. "That was a truly feeble performance."

"Actually, it wasn't all bad," Fluttershy told her kindly. "I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin."

"Ugh," Rainbow Dash groaned and faced her. "I'm not talking about my performance, I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering!"

"What are you two arguing about?" Twilight Sparkle asked, looking between them.

Fluttershy blinked. "Were we arguing? I'm sorry."

Rainbow Dash grunted in annoyance and looked at their friends. "I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see me compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition," she said wistfully.

"What's that?" Twilight Sparkle inquired.

"It's where all the greatest Pegasus flyers get together and show off their different flying styles!" Pinkie Pie announced. "Some are fast!" And she raced around the room, pretending to be a race car. "And some are graceful." She tried to move gracefully, but she ended up slipping on the books. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" And she fell down, being buried by books again.

"Golly," said Applejack, impressed. "I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition."

"Same here," Sunrise Blossom agreed. "Sounds like fun."

Rainbow Dash nodded sadly. "Yeah. I wish you guys could be there," she said honestly. 'Fluttershy's a great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational."

"Ooh! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom!" Pinkie Pie squealed. "It's like, the most coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, but I mean come on! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be?!"

"What's a sonic rainboom?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, having only ever read about sonic booms made by pegasus that could fly fast enough.

"You really need to get out more," Pinkie Pie politely scolded the purple unicorn. "The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going sooo fast… Boom! A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once!"

"And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony to ever pull it off!" Applejack announced proudly.

Rainbow Dash duck her head, flushing a little. "It was a long time ago… I was just a filly."

"Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?" Pinkie Pie asked eagerly.

Rainbow Dash laughed. "Are… you kidding? I'm the greatest flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale!" she reminded them. "I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep."

"Wow," said Twilight Sparkle, impressed by what she was hearing and was now wishing that she could see the competition. "If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!"

Rainbow Dash nodded eagerly. "The grand prize is an entire day with the Wonderbolts," she added. "A whole day of flying with my lifelong heroes… It'll be a dream come true!"

"Yay," said Fluttershy.

"I'm gonna go rest up," said Rainbow Dash, ignoring the yellow pegasus. "Don't wanna over prepare myself, y'know. Hehe." She then fixed her friend wth a stern look. "You, on the other hand, better keep practicing. I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance." She then flew back out of the window.

Fluttershy started to fly after her and paused, looking back at her friends. "She's practiced that move a hundred times, and she's never even come close to doing it," she informed them. "I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her." And then she flew off, too.

Twilight Sparkle looked away from the window and back at the mess. "Well, guess we better get this cleaned up… again," she said, sighing as she magically began picking up books.

Rarity, who'd been thinking about the competition, suddenly bumped her, making her drop the books. "Go on, go on."

"Go on what?" Twilight Sparkle asked, shooting her a look as she tried to gather up the books again.

"Find a spell that will get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale," Rarity requested. "Didn't you see how nervous she was?"

"Nervous?" Applejack repeated. "Have you spit yer bit or somethin'? She was tootin' her own horn louder than the brass section of a marching band!"

"Oh, puh-lease," Rarity scoffed. "I have put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it. We've got to find a way to be there for her. Now go on!" And she bumped the purple unicorn again, this time knocking her into the book pile.

"Owaa! Ugh," Twilight Sparkle groaned, sitting up and gave her friend a hard look. "How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?" she demanded.

Pinkie Pie got an idea. "A flight spell?" She hurried away and then she came back with a book, which she tossed in front of the purple unicorn. "One sec. Page twenty-seven."

"How'd you do that?" Applejack asked, surprised.

"It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase," Pinkie Pie answered.

Twilight Sparkle looked through the book and found a spell. "Here it is! A spell that will allow Earth ponies to fly for three days," she read aloud, looking it over. "Ooh, it looks really difficult… I'm not sure I can do it."

Sunrise Blossom also looked at the spell, reading through it. "It does like difficult," she agreed. "Maybe we can do it together.

"Maybe."

"You've got to try!" Rarity pleaded.

"Okay…" Twilight Sparkle agreed. "But who's gonna volunteer to be the test subject?"

"I will!" Rarity announced. "For Rainbow Dash, I will go first."

Nodding, Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom read through the spell. "Here goes." Setting aside the book, the twins concentrated on their magic, feeling it build up, and then a light blue magic began wrapping itself around Rarity. Moments later, there was an explosion of light that knocked the twins backwards and into their friends.

Untangling themselves, they sat up and they all gasped when they saw what was growing out of their friend's back.

"I think it worked!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed before she and Sunrise Blossom both collapsed from exhaustion.

A/N: Doing that spell together drained 'em both, poor Twilight and Sunrise. Oh, and because Dede42 has work tomorrow morning at the movie theater, where things are busy because of Incredibles 2, and so there won't be an update. R&R everyone!
