When we reached the hospital, the nurses and doctors took him straight into the emergency room and I went to sit down in the waiting room, hoping that he was all right. When the nurse came out she found me asleep and she shook me awake startling me and her. "Your friend was brought here just in time." She said. "He was losing a lot of blood on the inside and had a few broken bones. If you got here any later he would of died."

"But can I see him?" I asked. And by the way she looked at me she could tell that I didn't want to lose him.

"Sure but he is unconscious for now. Let me know when he wakes up so I can take some tests on him." She said with a wink. As she led me to his room he was on the bed with his head on the side of the pillow. As the nurse left with a smile, I went over and sat down next to Soarin's bed. "Why did you need to do this Soarin. I should have been the one to go in there not you." I said with a little sniffle. Just then I felt a hoof on my head an when I looked I saw Spitfire had come into the room. "Don't beat yourself up kid." She said. "Soarin's been in tougher spots before. So tell me what happened."

"We were on our way back to my house when Derpy almost crashed into us. When we went over to check on Derpy, she said that there was trouble at the weather factory. When we got to there, the main machine was going haywire. Soarin grabbed some tools and went over to try to disable the machine. The machine started to smoke and before I could warn him, it blew up. That was when I rushed him here." I said.

"Well as soon as he wakes up call for me. I'll be talking to the nurses and doctors." As she left the room a doctor walked in with a clipboard. "Hello I am gonna be your friends doctor. My name is Doctor Aid. Or you can just call me Aid. I don't really care. So has your friend woken up at all?" he asked.

"Not yet at least. He was right next to the machine when it exploded, so I thought it would be a while before he wakes up." I answered. With me saying that, he used his magic to pick up his pen and started to write stuff down onto his clipboard. "Well, what do you know about him?" he asked. Before I could open my mouth, somepony else entered the room with a wonderbolt uniform on. "I think its none of you business doctor." She said. So with that note, the doctor left and the mare came walking over to me. "I think that the doctors here need to learn that when a mare needs her privacy. That she needs it. Names Fleetfoot newbie."

"Rainbow Dash. How did you know he was here?" I asked.

"A mare never tells her sources. Also, I make it my business whenever a teammate of mine is in the hospital. This also means that you are the only one awake that knows what the machine looked like when you got there."

"Well it was giving off sparks and it was shaking a lot. But when I saw Soarin open the panel, all the wires were fried. So I think it might have been sabotaged." I answered. Fleetfoot started to go into a deep thought and snapped out of it when Soarin started to move. As Fleetfoot came over and stood on the other side of the bed. As Soarin slowly started to open his eyes he was shocked to see Fleetfoot standing to his left and me on his other. "How long was I out?" the blue Pegasus asked.

"About a couple hours. You really took a hit from the machine blowing up." I answered getting a weak smile from him. "Well at least I stopped it."

"Yeah and in the process getting yourself injured. Also it didn't go haywire cause of faulty machinery. It was sabotaged." Fleetfoot said.

"How do you know it was sabotaged?" Soarin asked.

"Well when Rainbow Dash told me what the panel looked like when you opened it, the only thing that could of done this was a unicorn with some powerful magic." She said walking over next to me. "So basically I can tell you are gonna be a great member on this team Rainbow Dash. With someone of your eyesight we should be able to tell when somepony is doing something wrong with a routine. Well I will go get Spitfire. She wanted to be here for when you woke up Soarin. See ya later guys and girls." Fleetfoot left the room and a couple minutes later Spitfire came walking in. "Well glad to see you are finally awake Soarin." She said.

"Well glad to be awake ma'am." He said.

"What must I tell you about calling me that Soarin. You know that when nopony else is around except your fellow wonderbolts is to just call me Spitfire."

"Sorry Spitfire. Old habits die hard."

"That and I almost had to find you a replacement cause you almost died hard. I also have to say that Rainbow Dash will have to take your place in the show tomorrow. Which also means that you have to finish your evaluation today Rainbow Dash." She said.

"Well I got that when I was almost blown up. Just hope that you don't give her anything hard for her to do until you finished her evaluation." He pleaded causing Spitfire to smile a little. "We both know that that is not gonna happen Soarin. And rainbow Dash."

"yes?"

"I want you at the academy after dinner. Take care you guys." As she left the room the nurse that came out and woke me up walked in. For ponys sake how many people are gonna be coming in here. "Well Soarin I got to go and actually have dinner and then go to evaluation. I'll tell the others that you are all right. See ya later Soarin." As I left the room I started to think about what was gonna happen to my evaluation. I flew over to sugercube corner and I got some food to eat while at the same time getting the crap scared out of me by Pinkie every couple minutes. When I left sugercube corner I went straight to the academy where Spitfire was waiting. "Good you're here, Rainbow. Time to finish your evaluation." With that note she took me to the runway.

"First up, speed." called Spitfire. I got ready near the starting line and as soon as the shot went up, I flew as fast as I could through several hoops and dodged several objects that were thrown at me to try and slow me down. I managed to get past it all and landed at the finish line.

"Nice time, but don't get cocky. Next up is ability." called Spitfire.

I took a deep breath and began to run along a balance post they had set up and had to use only hoofs to stay up. I jumped from one post to the other with good speed while staying balanced. Soon I made it to the end.

"Impressive, but let's see how you are with style." replied Spitfire.

I grinned as I was a shoe in to pass this. I flew stright up into the air and began to use the clouds around me to my advantage. I held the clouds close as I began to shape them into the perfect picture. Once it was done, I landed with a grin and pointed at it with my hoof.

Spitfire looked up and saw a cloud face of myself. "Impressive. Not thrilled with the cocky attitude, but you still passed. Congrats, you're in." replied Spitfire
