The Great Race

Pinkie Pie was nearby and bounced over to see what was going on, but before she could say "Surprise!", she noticed the fading raspberry star in the sky. "Wow, Twilight, did you make that?!" asked Pinkie. "Cause that's totally super duperly AWESOME!!!" shouted Pinkie in her usual girly voice. "I don- yes, I did make that!" Twilight stated proudly as she puffed out her chest.

"Whoa, Sugarcube, I knew you could fly, but I've never seen you do that before! It might be even better than Rainbow's Sonic Rainboom!" said a shocked Applejack, who had gathered with Fluttershy and Rarity to see what was happening. "Wow, Twilight, that really was amazing! Yay!" added Fluttershy, though she didn't even see the thing happen. And it already faded away. "Yes, Twilight, if you're such a good flyer, maybe the Wonderbolts would let you join!" Rarity stated with a flip of her royal purple mane.

Rainbow had finally had enough. All her friends had abandoned her just to brag over somepony who only did this thing once?! And the "Sonic Starboom" had already gone away, so why were they acting like it was the greatest thing ever? Rainbow flew high around all the gawking ponies and screamed, "I challenge "Princess" Twilight Sparkle to a race! Who ever wins gets to fly with the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow was also furious because Rarity knew her life long dream was to be a Wonderbolt, yet she just sat there and said Twilight should do it!? Ugh, to Rainbow, it was the Mysterious Mare Do Well all over again.

Twilight was shocked at first, but smirked and said, "Fine."
