Over the Rainbow

The two unicorns grins shouldn't have fit their faces as they walked up to the golden pedestal. Deja vu came first, as they were in the same spot they had been earlier that day. Victory stared them in the face as the Twilight Sparkle and Rarity made step after step to the table. Each clop of their hooves sounded like a note of a crystal harp as the win came closer and closer. They had shown Rainbow Dash up, and here was their chance to prove it.

Even with their hearts beating rapidly in anticipation, every step on the velvet stairs seemed to take hours. In unison came the magic calming. Light illuminated their horns as they kept themselves from springing over to victory, which did, in fact, take magic at this point. The mares age attitude had been shrunk to the point that they were energetic small filly's on the inside. But who couldn't feel like that at a time like this?

Finally, their steps landed on top of the stairs and the victory was but a few feet away. Twilight Sparkle long stepped towards the table, disrupting the even position between the two unicorns and putting herself in front  of her white counterpart. The table shined in front of her, as the two buttons gleamed on the surface.

On the right lay the cyan button, with a cloud and rainbow- bolt of Rainbow Dashes cutie mark symbolizing the option of her win. Too bad it wasn't being pressed. On the left lay the black button, where a shiny magenta retracted wing outline stood out from the dark background. On each feather was a part of the other fives cutie marks, with a single diamond for Rarity, and single butterfly and balloon for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. One red apple gleamed next to the pink butterfly that stood on the center feather, symbolizing Applejack. On the main wing lay Twilight Sparkles full cutie mark, giving a slight hint that the purple unicorn had designed the sketch herself.

Rarity put herself at the foot of the table, scanning the surface of its contents. What else she saw was the window. The sun shined beautifully, supporting the victory of the two unicorns. Everything, for the most part, had gone perfectly. Rarity's restricting magic shifted into long distance vision, zooming her eyes wide in awe as she took in the beauty outside. The blue sky shined down at them, and it seemed that it bulged out a bit even. The sky wanted to touch their victory. And if it was possible, Rarity would've allowed it. But when she saw what the bulge was, her mind completely changed.

Rarity zoomed her vision in further. She wasn't being mistaken. The bulge was none other than a cyan Pegasus flying through the air, aimed at their building. While the figure was far away, it was homing in fast. Very fast. Rarity zoomed in further, eyeing the six marks on the Pegasus's rear. One, a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt. Rainbow Dash. Two, as zebra striped serpent. Everfree creep. Three, a thundercloud. Cloudsdale town hall. Four, a bottle of alchohol. Canterlot intoxication saloon. Five, a uni-horn within a wing within a foreleg. Ponyvile town hall. Six, a sun and moon yin-yang sphere. Celestias palace. Those were the same five marks Twilight Sparkle bared. Rainbow Dash was coming in for the win.

"Hah! In your face Rainbow Dash! Whose the greatest pony in Equestria now? HAH!" laughed Twilight Sparkle arrogantly, unaware that her target could hear her.

Rarity's eyes focused on something else than the victory. It was too stunning to act, seeing the streaking comet of a Pegasus that was closing in on them. She was going so fast, it was surprising that she hadn't already hit the building. It quickly became obvious Rainbow Dash had other plans.

Rarity could see it. The air cone around the bulge- it was getting creased, soon to turn into something much larger than a resistance.

"Hey Rarity, what are you looking at? You frozen or something?" added Twilight Sparkle, who was still arrogant as ever.

The cone was now tiny, almost touching the Pegasus fueling it. It was getting closer and closer to the grand finale. It was getting refracted now. Red, than orange.

"Well, here is to the victory of Shparjaty. I, Twilight Sparkle, hereby claim the victory of this ra-"

Boom.

Time stopped. Twilights cocky smile faded as her attention turned to the disrupter. In the beginning, there was silence. What was a mere second felt like an hour. Soon, the multicolored ring formed around the trail, before spewing out its own streak. Now, there was thrust. What was on the end was cyan with a rainbow mane and tail, about 36 inches tall and 20 years old.

TASTE THE RAINBOW, MOTHABUCKA!

Within a split second, all the windows in the room smashed inwards as a sonic rain-boom exploded from the cyan Pegasus. Time slowed down as Rainbow Dash blasted through the shattered glass frames. If she was aiming for the unicorns, however, she was definitely going to miss. Rainbows entrance froze Twilight Sparkle and Rarity in their places, before sending them flying with the rainbow ring following her. The unicorns collided into the inside of the dome before sliding down to the floor. Unconscious, again.

Rainbow Dash skillfully landed at the foot of her defeated opponents, before racing over to her grand prize. Once atop the pedestal, Rainbow slammed her hoof onto the cyan button. She had won.

Soon after the explosion, the rest of the unicorns team sped into the room to see Rainbow Dash dominating it from the top step.

Rainbow smiled at her adversaries, with a smile that didn't have words to explain. Instead, she did what she was planning on doing.

"Say hello to your new mistress."
