Chapter 11 - Best young flyer competition
"Tristan are you awake?" Fluttershy asked
I saw her all dressed up fancy
"Why are you dressed up all fancy?" I asked getting out of the bed
"Well, I need to make a good impression on the wonderbolts" She replied
"Really?" I asked
"Oh yes, its so important that they like me, since i'm your marefriend and all" She said
"Alright" I said walking downstairs
I put on my uniform and then yawned
"We can't be late for this, it would be a bad first impression!" Fluttershy said almost pushing me to the door
"Okay okay okay" I said as we began to fly off
I arrived at the Wonderbolt HQ shortly afterwards
"Hey guys!" I said entering
"Hello again Tristan... who is this?" They asked Pointing to Fluttershy
"This is Fluttershy, My marefriend" I said
"Hello Fluttershy" Spitfire said
"Hello..." Fluttershy said nearly silently
"She is kind of shy" I said
"Oh okay" Soarin said
"Anyways guys listen, Can she come along on tour with us so were closer together, because when we are on tour, we would hardly see each other" I said
"Like what do you mean dude?" Soarin asked
"Like as a V.I.P?" I asked
"Yea probably" Spitfire said
"Voundava! (it means wonderful)" I said
"Okay now, We need you to judge for the best young flyers competition, Soarin and I are judging and since you just joined, we think it would be an honor for you to judge it today" Spitfire said
"Okay sure!" I said
Tarin knocked on the door
"Come in" I said
"Hey what are you doing?" He asked
"Um.. work?" I said
"Thats cool" He said making himself comfortable
Soarin whispered, "Hey, tell him to go practice, and be in the best young flyer competition, to get him out of here"
I repeated that
"Thats an excellent idea!" Tarin said running out
"Was that the guy who cheated in the academy?" Soarin asked
"Eeyup" I said
"Okay then" Soarin Replied
5 hours later
"And now introducing... THE WONDERBOLTS!" The announcer screamed
Five other of them, and I all flew into the air
I could tell all of the ponies were trying to figure out who I was
Spitfire, Soarin, and I all sat behind the judging table
"I saw many of the ponies whispering among themselves
"And now introducing your Princess, PRINCESS CELESTIA!" He yelled as she flew in
The ponys didn't seem to care, they desperately wanted to find out who I was
I saw Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack
"Whens Rainbowdash going to be up? The darling did so wonderful last year!" Rarity asked
"I don't know sugarcube, But Where are Tristan and Tarin?" Applejack said
"Oh, Tristan is over there at the judging table, and I think Tarin's entering the contest" Fluttershy said
"Wait, hold on sugarcube, The judging table is for wonderbolts only" Applejack Replied
"Oh you didn't know? Tristans a wonderbolt!" Fluttershy said, pulling out her V.I.P tag
Pinkie started waving over to me, to see if it really was me
I gave a salute back
"It is him! Rainbow Dash probably would be so jealous!" Pinkie said
"Well, She might get to spend the day with him, because if she wins.." Applejack trailed off
I heard that and thought Oh Celestia fuck me
I was watching the judgings, occasionally talking with my fellow wonderbolts
Then Rainbow dash was up
I watched, knowing the routine the entire time, She completely nailed it 100%
I felt, deep down in my soul, that this was going to be a long day
Soarin looked to me, "Pretty impressive huh?" He asked
"Ehh, kinda" I said
He shrugged and we returned to watching
"And our final competitor of the day, Tarin!" The announcers yelled out
Tarin flew into position, he started charging straight at the sky, He didn't stop, He was flying, but flying so fast, he did a sonic darkness boom, and ended up flying to space
"Tarin wins!" I yelled
"I don't think he is coming back down" Soarin said
"Not so fast" Spitfire said
"Since he is not here to claim the prize, by default our second placer wins" Soarin said
"Rainbow Dash wins!" Spitfire said
"No no no, there must be a mistake, I think Suprise should have won" I said
"No" Soarin said
"Aww" I said
Rainbow Dash flew over
"Hello Wonderbolts" She said giving me a seductive look
I facehoofed as we all flew off into the distance
LATER THAT DAY
"I have to go!" Rainbow Dash said looking at the time
"Okay - goodbye Rainbow Dash" Soarin said
As she walked out, Tarin came plummeting out of the sky, and landed directly on top of her
"Ow, ow, ow I cant feel my body" She said
"Thats what you get for stealing my prize" Tarin said walking away
I shut the door
"That was long" I said sighing
"She is a good flyer, but she still isn't a great flyer yet" Spitfire said
"Hey Tristan, Guess what starts the day after tomorrow" Soarin said
"What?" I asked
"The annual tour us wonderbolts take, and since you're a wonderbolt too, it's traditional to go" Soarin said
"That sounds great!" I said
"Alright cool!" He said
We did like a hoof pound afterwards
"Alright, well I gotta get going, Fluttershys probably wondering where I am" I said getting up
"Alright, Cya Tristan" They said as I flew out
I flew home as quickly as I could
"Fluttershy guess what!" I said as I flew in
"*Yelp* Oh.. you scared me, What?" She asked
"I'm going on tour!" I said
"Oh... Thats.. great.." She said looking down almost in sadness
"What's wrong? I thought you would be thrilled!" I said
"Well I am for you... but I am going to miss you, I wouldn't be able to go because of my animals!" She said
I thought for a minute, "I can't go then, your more important" I said sighing
"No! you need to go this is important, Look in life you get lots of chances to be with the ones you love, and only few chances to nearly live the dream, you can see me anyday, but its almost once in a lifetime that you get to go on such an amazing tour! I will even come to some of the shows, but you need to do this, its not something you can pass up, just like that, I know it might be hard to leave me, but you have to go! you may never have such a chance again in your life!" She said
"...okay, I'll go" I said
"I love you and I will miss you, but you're going to do great, you're practically made for this job" She said
"I love you too, and I'm going to miss you too" I said hugging her, a few tears even rolled down my cheek
I took off my wonderbolts uniform and hung it by the door
We walked upstairs to bed
She wrapped her hooves around me
"I love you and your going to do great" She said
"I love you too" I said
She fell asleep, and I quietly cried myself to sleep
