In the not-too-distant future, Rainbow Dash is a Wonderbolt. And in the not-too-distant future, Lightning Dust is on the track to becoming a Wonderbolt, having not gotten kicked out of the Academy on her second try. In fact, in the not-too-distant future, Dash is stuck supervising a group of hopefuls, including Lightning. Unfortunately, they do not have a very friendly relationship.

This is particularly unfortunate when they end up grounded in the middle of the Everfree Forest together.

Wow. I got that into EqD three minutes before the deadline. Really, if I was going to cheat by sending it in before it's properly up, I should have just kept writing. But apparently I have too much integrity to fix the rushed ending or something. Maybe I'd rather have a hurried story and an excuse than a poorly written ending that I can't explain away? In any case, I'm sorry I left this so close to the deadline.

Written for the EqD WTG #006. Remember, if you don't comment, I don't know what you really think, and I don't do better next time. So I'd like to issue a challenge: before liking or disliking this story, tell me one reason you're clicking that button. If you care enough to have an opinion, I'm sure you can think of something.
