It was a quiet afternoon as I raced through Ponyville, my wings pushing as fast as I had ever flown. I whipping past houses, and racing along roads with the sound of wind rushing in my ears egging me on, faster and faster.
I needed to get to Twilights library and I needed to get there now, news like I had just couldn't wait. I flared my wings and I rounded the last corner, then with a marvelous amount of finesse crashed through one of the library windows, I tumbled across the floor, knocking over and into bookshelves along with other miscellany items as I skidded to an awkward halt the hooves of my friends. I looked up, chest heaving and feathers slightly sweaty; to see all of my friends' startled faces staring at me with confusion and surprise very clear in their features.
"The letter." I managed to sputter out in a desperate effort to explain my unusual entrance. "From the Wonderbolts, I'm in; they accepted me as a team member, I'M A WONDERBOLT." I shouted the last part simply unable to keep my voice down and entirely ignoring the fact that a library is traditionally a much quieter place. My face broke into an uncontrollable smile as my mind wandered off thinking of all the experiences that awaited me, the ponies I would meet, the maneuvers I could learn and then promptly show-off, and the uniform I could wear, a symbol of excellence recognized everywhere I would go.
"Oh my gosh!" squealed Pinky as she jumped up and down across the library floor snapping me back into reality and out of my day dreams. "This calls for a party, I'm glad I have party canons stashed all over Ponyville for party canon emergencies." With that statement full of terrifying implications about hidden cannons Pinky pulled a party canon out from behind a potted plant, and wasted no time setting it off and coating every available surface with a fine layer of glittery confetti.
"I sure am proud of you, Sugar Cube." I spun around to face AppleJack as she continued her congratulation. "This is your lifelong dream after all." She finished with a quick tip of her signature hat, and was then promptly shoved of to the side by an over enthusiastic Twilight.
"This is such an amazing opportunity, you can get to see so many new things and learn so much. Do you think that your team mates could help me get the hang out these new wings? They didn't come with a manual, and I can't seem to find one in the library." Twilight asked questions faster than I could fly and I could do much more than nod and realize that Twilight was more or less talking to herself. So I left her to ramble on and said a quick thank you.
"Ohh, I'm so excited for you Rainbow, I could just jump for joy, i-if that's ok with you."
Before I could get any words in Rarity pushed Fluttershy out-of-the-way and into Twilight who was cleaning up some books I must have knocked off of the shelf's, and said. "Do you know any high prestige Canterlot pony's yet? Do you have connections with any designers?" Her voice was brimming with excitement and jubilance.
"Not yet, but I'll try to do some networking for you." I promised. "As I was saying, I start initiation tomorrow, and I have to move into the Wonderbolts base, so I won't be around here as much. However I'll keep my cloud home and visit you all on weekends, and I'll try to get you guy's tickets for all the Wonderbolts shows." Once I finished Pinky jumped up and shouted.
"What are we waiting for; let's get this Welcome to the Wonderbolts party, started." She then proceeded to start some music and somehow, in some unexplainable pinkie way she pulled some cake and refreshments out of thin air. "Come on Dashie lets party." With that my friends and I started to dance and enjoy ourselves occasionally knocking even more books off shelves and on to the floor. I couldn't believe it, me a Wonderbolt. I would get to fly with Spitfire, my idol.
"OH, Rainbow?" Fluttershy asked timidly. "What about your weather team? They need a boss." She looked down at her feet as she spoke. "I would volunteer, but I can't handle the heights."
"Don't worry about them Fluttershy, I've got it under control. I'm promoting Derpy Hooves." I stated with conviction. "That Pegasus has worked so hard lately; she hardly has anytime for leisure activities. She really deserves the raise." Fluttershy looked at me skeptically, but I knew Derpy and had faith that she could make it work.
Later as the night drew to a close and I started on my way to my cloud house I drew loops in the sky with my rainbow trail, and dashed through clouds trying to get out some of my pent-up energy, it still hadn't quite sunken in yet, a Wonderbolt, me a Wonderbolt. Little filly's and colts might one day look to me as an idol. Crowds would chant my name and cheer me on as a looped, barrel rolled, and maybe even sonic rain boomed across the sky. I punched my way defiantly through a final cloud and then decided I should make my way home if I wanted to be up in time for my journey to the Wonderbolts base tomorrow.
My extravagant rainbow extruding cloud house came into view and I glided toward my bedroom I swooped in through an expertly placed window and flopped on my bed utterly and completely exhausted, I barely registered that tank was curled up at the foot of my bed. I slowly drifted off into dreams of cheers and a roaring audience, as I climbed toward the sun in a Wonderbolts uniform.
