The Odd Life Of Shadow Storm And Thunder Crash

We were in the throne room and I made my way over to the beautiful cyan pegasus named Rainbow Dash that I recently learned of. She was making her way to her friends when I flew over and challenged her to a race, before she answered I sped off faster than sound out of the room and into the open air over the Canterlot Gardens and saw that she was next to me laughing. I sped in circles and figure 8’s then I tackled her out of the air before we hit the ground I turned and hit the ground, it had hurt more than I expected but I didn't show it. She was laughing so hard she was rolling on the ground. I couldn't hold it in anymore and I laughed so hard that I too was on the ground. “Hi I'm Thunder.” “I'm Rainbow Dash! Hahah, you're pretty cool Thunder.” “You’re a pretty good flyer Dash.” I said trying to charm her. “One day I hope to become a wonderbolt.”She replied “I even wrote a letter to try to convince them to recruit me!” She held it out to me. I said“If you want I could pass this to Spitfire herself,I’m a fairly good friend of hers.” She beamed so happily I smiled as she spoke “Really! I would be so grateful!” She wrapped her hooves around my neck and hugged be. “It’s no problem.” I blushed. We walked back talking about Spitfire and laughing when Rarity saw us. Great. “Oh look here my little darling cuddling up with the guard in second command.” “Yeah what of it Rarity.” I was surprised when she leaned into my side.I wasn't the only one thrown off, Rarity seemed surprised that Dash was being so protective. I was not only surprised but I was flattered.I walked her off in a different direction.”What was that back there, we you just messing with her or do you really like me?” Maybe I do maybe I don’t you’re going to find that out yourself.” She was obviously teasing me.Though I simply was having too much fun with Dash to care. We ran back into the group where we were getting many obvious looks except from my brother and Luna who seemed to be completely lost in each other. We with our faces red joined the group again and continued on. I think I left an impression on her because our eyes kept meeting during the tour.

Later that night I was doing my rounds and I saw my brother leaving a note for Luna on her balcony.I flew down “What are you doing here?” she looked surprised and before he answered he disappeared. Needless to say I was thrown by his unusual behavior. I picked up the note and read it carefully, I understood.The next morning before my shift was over I had asked Princess Luna to interview my brother for her job opening as a personal assistant.When we got home my brother was still in bed and asleep,so I asked the princess to get comfortable as I made some coffee.When I Heard footsteps coming down the the stairs,I overheard the conversation between The Princess and Shadow.I saw him look in my direction so I shot him a smirk and a wink hoping he’d get the message.After that They left to get the supplies for his new job.I had the house to myself, I decided to deliver Dash's letter to Spitfire,seeing as I had nothing else to do.As I flew into Spitfire’s Office she was not there,Sorin had said she had went out for something.So I decided to leave Dash’s letter in her extremely full mailbox. I flew my way over to the cyan pegasi’s house.To inform her that I had gave Spitfire the letter. “Rainbow Dash?” I yelled,hoping to see if she was home. “Oh,Hey Thunder! Did you get a chance to send that letter yet?”She said with excitement in her eyes.She was just coming back from doing some laps around some clouds,I could tell as I looked behind her panting face,I saw three clouds spinning in a rapid motion before colliding with each other and dissipating into smaller cloud chunks. “Yea,I stopped by Spitfire’s office and put the letter in her mailbox,although it was pretty full but I will make sure she looks it over,but i wouldn't expect a response too soon.”I reassured her. “Thank you so much Thunder,if there’s anything I can do for you then just ask.”She responded joyfully.She said she had to go help her friends with something,I can’t exactly remember.So I flew home just as Shadow was coming home with his supplies,All packed in a Luna-styled Bag.I flew up behind him as he opened the door. “Hey brother, how do you like your new job?” I said grinning. “Well tomorrow I go for some basic defense spells and I get to see the secret entrances to the underground bunkers,stuff like that.” “Interesting, anything else?”I asked “Not much else ,but thank you brother for this amazing opportunity .” “After I read your note, I knew I had to get you closer to her so, there you go!” “You read it too?” He said surprised. I nodded. He had a look of sheer embarrassment when I said “Your secret is safe with me.” He smiled and thanked me for the job and continued through the house. I left and went off to ask Celestia if there was anything she needed taken care of. “Excuse me princess? Is there any work to be done?” “Ah yes Thunder Crash I need you to go to the Everfree Forest and take care of a Manticore problem that I have been getting reports of.” She said in her royal voice. And without a word I had flown off to the Everfree forest to see what is going on.

On my arrival I immediately noticed the lack of any Manticores. Out of nowhere I felt a stabbing pain in my side. A bug-like pony had stabbed me in the side with it’s horn. It had started to glow and as if from thin air more of them were flocking from the forest. It was an ambush! There were so many I had no choice, i had shaken the creature off and flew as fast as I could but they were following close behind me. When Canterlot came into view I started shouting out for Shining Armour, I don’t think that he would even hear me but I kept trying. Then my muscles had seized up, I had no control of my body. I began to plummet to my doom when I had saw many armored pegasi and unicorns bounding towards me. It was at least half of the Canterlot guard.When the reinforcements came the weird ponies started to run away back to the forest. “Thanks for the backup guys.” Shining Armour stepped forward and had told me to try to keep this confidential from the public,which I can understand, wouldn't want the public to be worried about a possible invasion.After I returned the princess to give her a report on what I had encountered.She did not seem fazed by the information.I simply returned to my home and went to sleep.
