That night, Scootaloo asked, "So, are you officially a Wonderbolt?"
"Hay, I don't know!" Storm replied, "I'll find out tomorrow for goodness sake!"
"Ouch." Scootaloo said, "But night, Storm."
"Night, Mom." She said, "Love you."
"We love you too, sweetheart." Her parents replied.
And they went to sleep too along with Rainbow Dash. But Storm Tiara was too excited to sleep. Tomorrow she would find out whether or not she had been accepted into the Wonderbolts Academy. She sure as buck hoped she did. Storm began to think as her heart raced about what in Equestria she'd do if she wasn't accepted. Her small heart raced and raced and raced that night, unable to sleep at all.
After talking to her parents, however, she felt fine and drifted off fast asleep, thanking them in her dreams.
The next morning as Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara were sleeping, Rainbow Dash quietly entered the room and nudged Storm Tiara.
"Rise n' shine, sleepyhead!" Rainbow Dash said, "Results are in!"
"The results are in? That's amazing, Rainbow Dash!" she exclaimed.
"Aunt Rainbow Dash, kid." Rainbow Dash corrected her.
"Sorry." Storm said.
"It's OK." Rainbow Dash replied, "Anyway, you made the cut ."

I'll pass with such high stakes!
(Rainbow Dash: Just do your best)

To be a Wonderbolt!
(song ends)
With Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo still fast asleep, the two took off to the Wonderbolts Academy. It was now 7:45 A.M. in Equestria and after practice, Rainbow Dash had a plan for them to go out.
"Go where, Aunt Rainbow Dash?" The filly asked.
"We're gonna revamp that basement, kid. Since I only have two bedrooms on the main floor of my house, you have the whole basement to yourself." Rainbow Dash replied.
"A basement bedroom? What about an attic bedroom? I've seen pictures of those too and they're equally as cool!" Storm Tiara exclaimed.
"I wouldn't go there." Rainbow Dash said, "Maybe some ponies can Make A room out of that unstable floor up there, but yeah, you'll fall, and we don't need shit like that."
"I understand." Storm said.
The tomboy pony smiled at her.
"Go beat their flanks, Storm!" Dashie called, "You got this!"
Storm Tiara got into a flying stance along with the other Wonderbolt ponies, who she could tell were staring at her because she was only a filly.
"Show them who's boss!" Rainbow Dash said, noticing Storm's anxiety, "You are not just a filly!"
"Is Rainbow Dash your auntie, little filly?" asked one Wonderbolt, jeering, "Don't listen to her! You're just a filly, a disgrace to the Wonderbolts! I'd get your sorry flank outta here if you wanna be like little old Rainbow Crash!"
"You little shit!" Rainbow Dash shouted, "You take that back or I'll beat your bucking flank, dipshit!"
That made that Wonderbolt shut up, but he still underestimated Storm.
"Go everypony! Go!" Spitfire yelled, ordering everypony up into the sky, "Storm, I expect the best out of you! You're the best new recruit I've seen so far! Don't disappoint me!"
"Yes ma'am!" the filly said.
"Thatta girl!" Spitfire said with a smile.
"Here comes the filly who thinks she can beat some grown mares!" said a group of new female recruits.
Determined, Storm Tiara put on a competitive smile.
"We'll see about that." Storm said, "So long suckers!"
She then sped fast like the wind.
"Take that, you stinkers!" she said, "First bucking place! In your face, losers!"
She grinned with excitement. The first step had been fulfilled.
Meanwhile back at Rainbow Dash's house...
"How can our daughter be a Wonderbolt?" Diamond Tiara said, "Doesn't anypony else think this is all happening so fast? I mean, she's eleven and a half. She should be living her life to the fullest, not joining elite flying teams!"
"Hey, calm down, Diamond Tiara." Scootaloo said, "Maybe this is her way of living her life to the fullest. And if you take my word for it, it's so awesome!"
"I guess. But don't you think this is happening all too soon?" Diamond Tiara said.
"Nonsense." Scootaloo replied, "She's right where she needs to be to be a functional member of the cool family."
"I hope you're right." The pink filly said.
"I've never steered you wrong, now have I?" Scootaloo asked.
"No." Diamond Tiara said.
"Then don't sweat it!" Scootaloo said.
But Diamond Tiara could secretly not stop obsessing over it. She knew that tomorrow was to be another intense training day.
