It was another busy, busy day for the Wonderbolts.
Rainbow Dash was alight with excitement as he hurriedly slipped on his Wonderbolt costume. For today they would be performing in front of the princess herself and just about everypony in the high society town of Canterlot would be there too.
It had always been Rainbow's Dream to be in the Wonderbolts. He loved their daring stunts and awe inspiring performances. It had been his dream since the first day he arrived in flight school as a young colt.
He loved flying, he loved doing aerial stunts and he loved speed. But most of all he loved being the centre of attention and coming first in any contest. The one thing he did not love however, was for anyone to take his dreams away from him, whether deliberately or not.
Second place to him, was for losers and Spitfire had no place for losers in her elite squad of flyers.
Which is why there was one pony he could not stand since the moment he laid eyes on her. One pony who befitting her name, rudely took all his thunder. One pony who would surely have wrested his dreams away from him should she not have been conveniently removed from the scene.
That one pony, who would surely have bested him and put him to shame, had no right to carry on as she did.
That one pony whose determination and will to push herself further and further, did not deserve a chance at realising her selfish dreams and basking in glory while he would woefully grit his teeth at being forever second place in the academy and lost his reputation bit by bit.
That one pony who even now he would continue to detest and loath with every bit of his being despite knowing her for little more than a day.
And Rainbow Dash would never forgive that pony.
If they never met again it would be too soon.
