Chapter 1

"Ever since i was a little filly I have always wanted to be one of them!" "They were the ponies I looked up to, I watched every show they preformed." "They are the Wonder Bolts!" "My name is Rainbow Dash and I was born to be a Wonder Bolt! And the day is coming up very soon..."

"Sup Dashie i hear your going to try out to be one of the Wonder Bolts isn't that right?"

"Yea i am! And i'm psyched!!!!!!!"

"How'd you find out?"

"Everypony knows about it and i'm sure you are going to ace that try out!"

"Your sure? Well I know! So whats your name again... Oh ya your Thunder Lane right?"

"You bet, so are you going to go for try outs also?" "Naw I think i'm going to sit out on this one. Well ok..."

"I might do it next year or in the next 2 years." "Well i got to go Dash,

"ok bye Thunder Lane!" Dashie goes home and sits on her bed. "Yes! the Wonder Bolt performance is on from last night!" Dashie starts watching Dashie starts to fall asleep 8 hours later.... Rainbow Dash yawns and stretch's " Morning already" "Well i guess I should go get a practice session into night until the big day."

Dashie starts dodging trees "ok now its time to dodge the spinning clouds! "Shoot hit one!" Rainbow dash comes down to the ground oh well i'll practice later. RD sees spitfire walking around,

"Spitfire! Hi! Do you remember me?" "I'm the won who saved you and won the best flyers competition!"

"Yes I do so did you hear about the Wonder Bolt try outs?"

"Yes I did and i'm fired up"

"Great! Cant wait to see you there!"

"Ok well see you later spitfire!"

"Bye RD"

"Thunder Lane sees RD Hey RD"

"Hey" "Thunder Lane, I was just talking to Spitfire."

"Thats cool so what did she say?"

"Oh nothing much, so the Wonder Bolts are Spitfire, Soarin and 1 more! i just cant put my hoof on it!" "Well I will probably find out when I goto try out" "Thunder Lane want to practice with me?"

"Sure!" "I haven't practiced in a while so I think I would like to!"

"Ok so Thunder Lane you going to try and catch me and when you do I have to catch you back! You know I could improve agility!"

Thunder Lane chases RD but can never catch her

"To fast for ya Thunder Lane?

"I'm just getting started!"

Dash keeps flying away Thunder Lane races behind her and tags her

"Got you!"

Dash races to Thunder Lane and goes up and hides in a cloud

"Dash where are you?"

"BEHIND YOU"

Rainbow Dash tags Thunder Lane and runs away. I think that's enough training for now.

"Want to go eat dinner?"

"Sure, May i order 1 lettuce sandwich?"

"Same with me"

Thank you, Dash and Thunder get dinner and eat right up

"That was good Well i'm going to go home Thunder Lane bye"

"bye Dash"

1 day later... "i'm going to do a flying session in the Gastly Gorge because tomorrow is the day I try out!" Rainbow Dash sets a timer. Beep beep beep! Rainbow Dash is dashing off and is doing great!

"Oh no!"

Rainbow Dash bumps into a falling rock and it damage's her wing. Rainbow Dash fly's back

"ok i'm going to walk home nice a easy and rest"

Rainbow Dash puts ice pack on the hurt wing. Rainbow lies down in bed. Rainbow wakes up Rainbow feels wing

"ouch maybe I should just try and shake the pain off"

Rainbow goes out side, And a nurse sees Rainbow Dash's wing

"young pony whats your name?

"Uh, oh Rainbow Dash"

"well you need to rest in the hospital"

"wait! but i'm joining tryouts for the Wonder Bolts!"

"i'm sorry but you need to rest and let your wing heal or it could be damaged for a very very long time"

"Doc when do you think it will heal?"

"Probably in the next 5 days."

"What! No! The auditions are tomorrow!"

"Sorry Rainbow Dash but you heard me"

Doc takes Rainbow Dash to the one of the hospital rooms

"Well i guess i have to wait till next year...wait no I won't I have been practicing and working hard all these years and i'm not going to let some doctor hold me down!"

Rainbow Dash thinks in her mind maybe i might be able to seek out at night! Thunder Lane walks in

"Hey so i heard you damaged your wing"

"Ya and the try outs are tomorrow so I guess I have to wait till next year."

"Really! Dash your really going to let something like this hold you back?"

"I guess I have to the Doctor said it could permanently damage my wing, and I could never fly again!"

"wow, do you know when it will heal?"

"Yes the Doctor said probably in the next 5 days"

"oh well I got to go, hope your wing gets better quickly"

"bye Thunder Lane, I also hope it heals quickly but i guess i just have to wait."

Chapter 2

"Ok I guess I have to seek out now"

Rainbow Dash quietly walks out of the hospital and then runs!

"I think no one saw me so that's good"

Rainbow Dash runs to her home.

"shoot how am I going to get up there?"

I really should have thought this through more.

Thunder Lanes sees Dash

"Hey Dash!"

"Thunder what are you doing up at night!"

"I was just going to ask you the same thing.I always walk around at night i do my daily walk at night all the time! Now Rainbow Dash what are you doing out here?"

"Oh I am just uhh walking also...really at night with a damaged wing?..."

"fine I confess I didn't want to miss the try outs so i snuck out of the hospital,I just couldn't wait another whole year! And after all the work i have done!"

"But you know if you do try out, Rainbow you may not be able to ever fly again!"

"Yes i do know that, and I know it wont happen so i'm going to impress the Wonder Bolts in my audition and become one of them!"

"Rainbow Dash do you even know who your up against?"

"no I don't but I know they wont be any challenge for me!"

"you sure? Cause I also heard Lightning Dust was joining try outs also."

"What?!?! Last time I met with her she left Wonder Bolt Academy i'm sure she might do something to sabotage my audition!"

"Plus Lightning dust is almost as fast as me and she could be faster than be because of my hurt wing,Thunder Lane do think I still got a shot?"

"uhhh to tell you the truth I don't..."

"thanks that helped alot Rainbow Dash said in a sarcastic voice"

"hey, your the one who asked me"

Rainbow Dash stretches hurt wing

"now my wing feels a little better"

"so Dash you never really told me how your wing got damaged could you tell me?"

"sure, I was practicing in the Gastly Gorge and I crashed into the wall and it damaged my wing, I could have hit a rock on the side of the wall, maybe..."

"Well i'm going to go continue on my daily walk, bye Dash."

"Bye Thunder Lane"

Rainbow Dash walks home and flew up to her house "hey I actually flew up to my house with a damaged wing" Rainbow Dash puts on the T.V and watches the Wonder Bolts. Rainbow thinks soon i'm going to become one of them!

Rainbow dash sleeps, 1 Day Later... Rainbow dash wakes up. "Today's the big day I try out! I better get ready! My wing feels a little better than from yesterday."

Rainbow Dash takes it easy, and starts doing some tricks

"ahh shoot I was going to do the sonic rainboom in front of the Wonder Bolts but how am I going to do that with a damaged wing, well i guess I just need to try, and we will see"

Rainbow Dash sees Thunder Lane "Hey Thunder Lane!"

"hey Dash, so Dash are you worried?"

"well to tell the truth i'm a little worried because I was going to do the sonic rainboom but i'm not sure i can with a damaged wing hey, whatever happens happens"

"Wanna walk to the tryouts with me?"

"Sure" Rainbow Dash and Thunder Lane walk to the tryouts without talking to each other much.

Rainbow Dash and Thunder Lane get there and Rainbow Dash signs up Rainbow Dash gets a number and it is 7

"looks like i'm the 7th person going!"

"Good luck Rainbow Dash I will be watching, and Thunder Lane walks off Lightning Dust sees Rainbow Dash.

"Why isn't it Rainbow Dash? Rainbow Dash, remember me? I'm going to become a Wonder Bolt and you aren't"

"I don't think so Lightning Dust, remember i became Lead Pony and you became Wing Pony?"

Lightning Dust grinds her teeth "good bye Dash by the way good luck you'll need it"

Number 6 your up! "Looks like that's me Lightning Dust says" Lightning Dust dazzels the Wonder Bolt with speed and a lightning trail behind her. Lightning dust goes in the sky and makes a mini tornado and does tricks!

"And there you have it that's Lightning Dusts performance!!"

"Number 7 you are up!" Rainbow Dash gulps

"I guess i'm up"

Rainbow Dash sees Thunder Lane and waves Rainbow Dash also sees her friends

"ok I got this!"

Rainbow dash starts her try out she dodges smoke and spinning clouds then she goes in the sky and does a sonic rainboom! Rainbow Dash shines the sky with a beautiful rainbow and lands on the ground.

"There you have it Rainbow Dash's try out is over! That's it everypony! Come next year!" Soarin and Spitfire hold up their signs Spitfire shows a 9 and Soarin shows a 10!

Spitfire says

"Rainbow you did the best job! Out of all the other pegasi! So we are going to make you a Wonder Bolt! But we cant make you an Wonder Bolt forever so we decided to make you a Wonder Bolt for a Month!"

Lightning Dust says "How did she win I did the best, I am the best!"

"And Lightning Dust i had a damaged wing, yep I beat you with a damaged wing,Take that!"

"Next year you wont be so lucky Dash but i got to say you are the best flyer, hoof Bump?"

"Hoof bump"
