Chapter 5 – Flying With the Wonderbolts!

The warm sun rays gently rested on Rainbow Dash's eyes; making her groan silently. Her hot pink eyes slowly opened as she turned away from the direct sunlight coming from the window.

Blue Shadow's ash blue eyes slowly opened to see rainbow shreds in his face. He blew on the colorful mane in front of his muzzle; making the young mare in front of him jump a little in surprise.

"O-oh...g-good morning Shadow...I forgot where I was for a minute."

Shadow chuckled sleepily. "It's ok." He said; a gentle smile on his muzzle.

Rainbow sat up little and looked at the stallion next to her. She giggled. "Your mane is a complete mess."

"It always is in the morning."

The mare giggled again. "It's cute, but did you want me to brush it for you?"

"Sure. If you want to then knock yourself out."

Dash smiled and slowly got out of bed and walked over to his dresser. "C'mere then."

"Okay." He said as he got out of bed and walked over to her and sat in front of her.

"I'm gonna need you to lay down a little."

"You mean like a dog?"

"Yeah."

"Aw am I too tall for you Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh shush! Just do it." Dash said as her face reddened a bit.

Shadow perched himself so that Rainbow could brush his mane.

"Your hair is so soft."

"It is?"

"Yeah. It looks so coarse from far away, but when you touch it...it's just so soft." She said before she put the hair brush on his dresser.

Shadow stood. "Well what about your mane?"

"What do you mean?"
"It's a mess."

Rainbow looked in a mirror. "Oh yeah..."

"Here..." Shadow said as he picked up the hair brush. "Sit..."

Dash nodded and sat in front on him.

Shadow smiled a little and brushed the tangled spectrum mess; making sure he doesn't hurt her.

Dash smiled and closed her eyes as she felt the brush gently glide through her hair.

"There."

"Thanks Blue."

"No problem." Blue said as he put the brush on his dresser.

"So what're we doing today?"

"Well I have to get to practice."

"With your Wonderbolts team?"

"Yeah. Did you wanna come?"

"Really?!"

"Yeah."

"I'd love to!"

"Cool. Just let me get my suit and googles on."

"Okay."

Blue Shadow trotted over to a small closet and opened it to reveal a pony manikin dressed in a Wonderbolts suit and goggles.

Rainbow found herself staring in awe.

Shadow gently took the suit off the manikin and slid into it and pulled his goggles on. He made sure everything was right as he looked in a mirror that was hung on the inside of the door.

Rainbow waited; glancing at him every now and then.

Shadow closed the closet door and walked over to her. "You ready to go?"

"Aren't you gonna eat anything?"

"Yeah: when I get there. I eat with my team."

"Oh."

"C'mon."

"Okay."

Shadow walked outside with Rainbow and closed the door behind them.

"I'll let you lead the way seen as how I have no idea where practice is."

"Okay." Shadow said before getting a slight chill. "Someone's watching me..." He thought.

"Are you ok?"

"Huh? Y-yeah; I just got a chill for some reason, but let's go."

"Okay." That's a little odd; it's like 90 degrees out here." The cyan mare thought.

The two pegusi flew off; Blue Shadow leading the way.

A certain purple unicorn watched as they flew off.

~ Time Skip ~

Blue Shadow landed at the doors of the mess hall with Rainbow Dash next to him. He opened the doors and walked in with her. He scanned the room for his team and spotted them.

Dash smiled up at the cobalt stallion as they both walked over to the table.

"Hey guys."

"Oh hey Blue. I see you brought Rainbow Dash with ya today. Any particular reason?" Spitfire said.

"I wanted her to see what it's like to be one of us seen as how it's her dream to become one of us."

"Oh is it now?" The fiery manned mare asked as she looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Yes ma'am..."

"Well, if you really wanna become a wonderbolt, then I guess I can let you fly with us; just to get a feel for it, and MAYBE we'll see about you getting into the academy."

"Really?!"

"Sure."

"Oh my gosh thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

Soarin watched with a smile.

Rainbow trembled with excitement.

"Well don't just stand there! Sit and eat!" Spitfire said.

Shadow and Rainbow sat and ate.

Soarin, Spitfire, and Fleetfoot finished and waited for Rainbow Dash and Blue Shadow to finish.

"I wonder if she's still free for something later..." Soarin thought.

Both Dash and Shadow finished their food and stood with the rest of the team.

Blue Shadow took their trays and put them on the counter before walking out with the rest of his team.

The four Wonderbolts put their goggles over their eyes and prepared to take off.

Blue gave Rainbow a pair of goggles; a gentle smile resting on his muzzles.

Rainbow returned the smile and put the goggled on.

The five pegusi took off and were soon joined by the other Wonderbolts.

Shadow and Rainbow turned to one side; taking a sharp turn up; followed by Soarin and Spitfire.

Blue Shadow's mane was but a haze of darkness.

Rainbow Dash saw a turbulence of air in front of her; making her eyes widen. "I'm starting to go so fast that I could soon do a Sonic Rainboom!" She thought as she and Blue Shadow darted ahead of the others.

Blue Shadow's ash blue eyes narrowed as he saw that he too was beginning to break the sound barrier. He glanced at Rainbow Dash and smirked. "Let's fly Dash!"

"You're on!"

The two separated and created a firework before they dove; the sound barrier becoming weaker as they increased in speed.

Both Blue Shadow and Rainbow Dash broke the sound barrier at the same time.

A rainbow ring and a rainbow trailed from Rainbow Dash, and what looked like a shadowed waterfall that trailed Blue Shadow.

The rest of the Wonderbolts landed and watched the two pegusi in complete amazement.

Dash and Shadow whizzed by the group leaving their rainbow and shadow water trail.

"This is awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a smirk as she and Blue Shadow started to slow down.

"Yeah it is!" Blue said; having the same smirk.

The two had begun to gradually slow down before landing; skidding to a stop after their hooves met the ground. They heard cheers from the other Wonderbolts, and those cheers got louder when the pegusi from the group ran to them.

"That was amazing!" Soarin said.

"Yeah!" Fleetfoot agreed.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire started.

"Yeah Spitfire?"

"How would you like to become a student at the Wonderbolts Academy?"

"I'd love it!"

Blue Shadow smiled.

Rainbow turned to her stallion friend and hugged him.

"W-what's with the hugging all of the sudden?"

"Thank you for asking me to come. If you hadn't offered me the opportunity...I wouldn't be able to achieve my dream so quickly." She said; tears of joy running down the sides of her face.

Shadow hugged the mare. "You're welcome Dashy..."

Rainbow Dash was holding onto her friend so tightly and so passionately that she had forgotten the others were there. She looked at Blue Shadow; deep into his ash blue eyes like he was the most precious thing in the world and leaned up to his muzzle and their lips met.

Blue Shadow's eyes closed as he kissed Rainbow Dash back.

There was a collective "aw" from the other Wonderbolts, except for Soarin and Spitfire who both looked rather jealous.

Dash and Blue pulled away from each other; their faces a bright red as they looked at the other Wonderbolts. They looked back at each other and just smiled gently. "Wow..." They whispered at the same time. "Best kiss ever..." They both said.
