Dusk of The WonderBolts

             I woke up slowly inside Zecora's hut. I looked around and noticed there where selves stacked high with potions,mysterious powders, and roots and berries I have never seen or heard of. I stumbled to my hooves. Zecora turned to me and smiled "You are awake! I knew you would be up before daybreak." I nodded "I'm feeling a lot better, I do think the knot on my head is gone" I smiled. Zecora smiled "Now drink up quick this should make you feel good,It should fix you up quiet new." She set down a bowl. I looked down at it, the bowl was filled with purple-colored water. I sniffed it "What is this" Zecora looked up at a self with potions and spoke "It will make sure you feel better but not all the way there is still one place in you that is heavy each day." I sipped up the liquid it tasted sour but I drank it all anyway. I took a moment and took in what she said "What do you mean a part if me if heavy each day?"

            Zecora sighed "You will find out soon, but come on its it noon, I shall walk you back home on the double but try to stay out of trouble" she trotted out of her hut. I followed her and I felt stronger knowing Zecora was on my side. She was the wisest zebra I knew and...the only zebra I ever met. I trotted through the forest and I looked around at the misty trees and I started to move closer to Zecora abit. Zecora smiled "You seem scared about the forest trees they are nothing but twigs and leaves." I shook my head and tried to act tough and brave "I'm not scared...I'm a WonderBolt" Zecora laughed and said "Your charisma is great but that was a lie,lies bring you down keep being like that you will look like a clown." I snorted and walked through the forest with my head up.

            We soon reached a bridge they led from the forest and out to PonyVille. Zecora stopped and looked at me "This is where I stop, but let me tell you this...don't let anyone bring you down you are just as special as them and if they do...say this quote "I am Lightning Dusk.....future WonderBolt!" I nuzzled Zecora "Thank you...for everything, I'll come visit you" Zecora smiled "Ha no need I will see you at Need-4-Speed!!" Zecora nodded and I began to trot on the bridge and I looked back and Zecora was gone! I gulped, my fear was rising once more. I turned and flinched at every sound and then I head a loud crackle and I looked up. Three Ponies with dark colored jumpsuits where standing in my way. "Well who is is pipsqueak on our territory" The main leader, a mare with golden hair stepped forward. I looked at them and I trotted back a few steps.

                     "Got a name?!" The same mare asked again. "L-Lightning Dusk..." I trembled and looked at them. "Awww little Lightning Dusk is scared...what ya gonna do go back to your mommy" The mare nodded her head at Zecora's path which lead to her hut. I felt my cheeks turn red hot with blush and I stood up. "No......" I soon remembered what Zecora tole me..."I'm Lightning Dusk....future....WonderBolt." The group of ponies looked at me with blank stares on there face and then burst into laughter. The main mare flicked her tail and looked down at me "You...a WonderBolt...your not really that type of material...but you are ShadowBolt material. I thought to myself ShadowBolts? .......was this another flying group? The mare walked up to me "Think about it....the WonderBolts are always getting credit for the main people...not the newbies.....why don't you join us...we will be the fastest team in Equestra!!"

             I looked at the mare there was something very familiar about that mare. "Do we have a deal?" ....I was about to speak when I heard a loud "NO!!" Fast as a lightning bolt a rainbow haired pony swooped down and grabbed me by my legs. I turned up to see who saved me, it was Rainbow Dash!! Rainbow's wings flapped as she flew and turned her head. "phew...lost em'" She set me down in a open field. I couldn't believe what I just seen "THAT WAS AWESOME YOU WERE SO FAST IT WAS AMAZING" Rainbow put her hoof over my mouth. "Whoa now relax kid, I was just trying help." She moved her hoof. I smiled and looked at her "Yeah throws weird ponies back there tried to get me to join there group." "Don't ever talk to the ShadowBolts they are evil ponies....I almost even got tricked by them..."

                I tried not to make her feel awkward so I changed the subject. "I came to look for you..but a Griffon who said she was your friend told me you weren't here." Rainbow hopped up "You let Gilda trick you....and we aren't friends...and I knew I heard a person ring my doorbell sorry kid I was stretching my wings for the Need-4-speed festival." I nodded and realized why I needed to see her "oh I have a question." Shyness swooped over me. Rainbow looked at me..."Yeah?" I took a deep breathe "Could you help me train for the Need-4-Speed festival? I'm trying to impress the WonderBolts" Rainbow smiled "Trying to impress a WonderBolt aye? Well...good news for you...your looking at a WonderBolt"
