I waved goodbye to the princesses and Spike, then left the castle. It was almost noon when Discord and I finished our business there, and now we had to get to Fillydelphia, which wasn't a problem when you had Discord with you.

He snapped his lion paw, making a blue portal looking thing appear in front of us. Before we got any strange looks, I hopped through the portal. I turned around to face the orange portal and waited for Discord to come through. The orange circle disappeared as his deer hoof stepped out of it. I turned around. The tall buildings could've made this city mistaken for Manehatten, but we were in Fillydelphia.

The Wonderbolt Derby wasn't until that night, so we had to do something for the afternoon.

"Let's go!" I beamed.

"Uh, do I have to follow you around all day until the Wonderbolt Derby?" He asked as he appeared beside me as his pony form, only he didn't have a blue horn, but a blue wing and a black-ish blue wing.

"Well, if we don't stick together, I probably won't be able to find you again, soooo," I said. "Yes."

He grunted. "Fine, let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~

"That was sooo much fun!" I beamed as I bounced down the streets with Discord flapping his wings lazily behind me.

"It was breath taking." He said sarcastically.

I glanced at a clock in the window of a shop. I gasped.

"We gotta go!" I shouted before taking off. Discord didn't answer, but I could tell he was there out of the corner of my eye.

About five minutes later, we reached a stadium without a roof. A big banner that shouted 'Wonderbolt Derby' slung above the double-double doors. Beside the doors, there were individual pictures with the featured Wonderbolts. Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, Soarin and Firestreak, who rarely made an appearance at any of the Wonderbolt's shows. It was nice to see Dashie's face again.

After buying tickets, we walked inside and took our seats. The stadium was already almost full, and it was still fifteen minutes before the derby started.

That time passed slowly as the stands got fuller and louder every second. Discord hoofed my a bag of popcorn out of nowhere, which I took with a puzzled expression.

My ears perked up as the noise died down and somepony started speaking with a microphone.

"Alright everypony," He boomed. "You've all come here for one reason," he paused. "The celebrity arise stunt flyers you've all been waiting for! Please welcome.... Theeeeee Wonderbolts!" He shouted.

The crowd started up again as four pegasus with Wonderbolt uniforms jetted out from the corner doors. One of which sporting a rainbow trail instead of a cloud of smoke. She was here.

Before settling at their starting lines, the three spread out around Dashie as try flew upwards. The sound barrier broke as a Sonic Rainboom erupted from behind Dashie. Oohs and awes came from the crowd. Making a few looptie-loops, they settled down at their starting lines.

"At the starting line, we have the Captain of The Winderbolts," he paused. "Spitfire!"

The fire maned pegasus looked up to wave before putting her goggles on and flaring her wings out.

"Second in line, we have the stallion of the Wonderbolts," the announcer said. "Soarin!!"

Most of the mares in the crowd cheered louder than the rest as he waved and did the same as Spitfire.

"Third, we have a rare Wonderbolt joining us today!" He said. "Firestreak!" He shouted.

The crowd bursted into cheers as the white and yellow mare flashed a grin before putting her goggles on and unfolding her wings.

"And that's but not least, one of the most popular Wonderbolts around, might I add the birthday girl of the day," I scooted to the edge of my seat. "Rainbow Dash!"

I cheered as loud as I could for Dashie as she lifted into the air slightly and waved bother her hooves and smiled.

"On your marks racers." The announcer said. Dashie stretched her wings before crouching and licking her lips. I smiled gently. An old habit of hers that never subsided.

"Ready..." He said quietly. The whole stadium became painfully quiet. "Set..."

I almost fell off my seat.

"GO!!!" He shouted. As soon as the word got out of his mouth, the four Wonderbolts were off. It didn't take them long to finish their first lap. Dashie, though, was lagging behind.

"C'mon Rainbow Dash!" I shouted.

"Lap three!" The announcer beamed.

"Who do you think is gonna win?" I asked Discord.

"Oh, by the looks of it, not your precious Dashie." He teased. I giggled and elbowed him in the side.

"I don't care what place she's in." I said.

Soarin hung out it second, Firestreak making it in first, Spitfire coming up behind Soarin in third, and Dashie was hanging back in fourth. She had a confident look on her face. That was the Dashie I knew.

"Lap four!" The pegasus announced. "Two more to go!"

I blinked for what I realized was the first time since the race started.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Dashie kicked into high gear, pushing her ahead past the tired looking racers.

"Oooooh!" I get it!" I giggled.

She zoomed past Soarin, gaining second place, and as they neared the finish line for the last time, another colourful Rainboom made Dashie shoot in front of Firestreak and dash across the finish line.

As the moment happened, an image flashed through my head. It was Dashie, racing towards the ground, set on catching Rarity and the Wobderbolts from certain doom, and out of nowhere, she raced forward, after a Sonic Rainboom exploded behind her, saving all the falling ponies.

The crowd, as they say, went wild.

"Yeah Dashie!" I shouted.

"Dashie? Who's Dashie?" A stallion on the other side of me asked.

"Rainbow Dash!" I said. "That's my nickname for her 'cause I know her. The stallion laughed.

"Yeah, and I know the Element of Laughter." He said sarcastically. I giggled.

"Actually, you do!" I said. "You're talking to her right now!" He looked puzzled.

"Yeah right." He said as he turned back to the race track.

"And the birthday mare wins the derby!" He announcer shouted. "Well there you have it, fillies and gentlecolts." He said. "Remember, these four will be signing autographs in the lobby right after this!"

I giant crowd started to spill out o the stadium part and into the lobby. Me and Discord followed reluctantly, not wanting to get sucked into a quick sand like mob.

When the way was clear, we walked through the door. I took a deep breath. She was here. She was really here. This want a dean or hallucination. Dashie was really here.

"Are we actually going in, or are we just going to stand here?" Discord asked, snapping me out his trance.

"Yeah," I said. "Let's go!" I beamed, running into the lobby at full speed, ready to find my bestest friend in the whole wide world of Equestria.
