redbolt the shadowbolt

chapter 1

It was a hot summer day at the wonder bolt's try outs. Redbolt was not the only Pegasus there to try out for the wonder bolts, of course.

"Hi there I’m rainbow dash", said a cyan Pegasus holding out a hoof to him.

"I’m Redbolt", Redbolt said while shaking rainbow dash's hoof in return of her greeting him.

"I’m going to a proud member of the wonder bolts", she said with a simile on her face.

"Oh yeah,", Redbolt said without looking up from his book he was reading, "what make you so sure?"

"Well duh I have helped them more times than one, like this one time I saved them and one of my best friends Rarity from death. I had flown so fast to save them I had done a Sonic Rain Boom while grabbing all of them.", she said with her wings flexed out.

"Now I remember you. I saw that at the best flyer competition. I was wondering what your name was.

"So you have heard of me?" Rainbow Dash said with an eyebrow raised.

"Rainbow Dash you're up next.", said a tall Pegasus with a microphone headset and a clipboard.

"Oh I’m up next. I’ll talk to you later", she said and flew up to the door were the Pegasus was now standing to the side. Without a look up from the clipboard she said,"Good luck. You will need it."

Then, she was out in the training course flying with another Pegasus who was going at the same time as Rainbow Dash but he couldn't keep up. But then finally he caught up with her.

"My name is Ricky", said the gray and white Pegasus.

"Hi my name is Rainbow Dash", she said looking at the Pegasus for a second.

"Have you met my friend Redbolt by chance?", Asked Ricky.

"Yeah, I met him. He wasn't much of a talker.", replied Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, he was probably trying to focus on getting ready for his try out.", said Ricky

Then both of them finished their tryout.

"Can I go again", Ricky asked the Pegasus with the clipboard.

"Why?" asked the Pegasus curiously.

"So I can go with my friend.", Ricky explained.

"What is his name?" Replied the Pegasus.

"His name is Redbolt" said Ricky.

"Okay, I’ll be right back", said the Pegasus.

he went to go find Redbolt and ask him if that was okay.

**

"Finally I thought she'd never leave.", said Redbolt going back to his book.

"Um, sorry for interrupting you.", Said the Pegasus with the clipboard.

"Yes?", He said to the Pegasus.

"Your friend Ricky would like to go with you when you do your try out. Would you mind that?", Asked the Pegasus.

"What is your name?", asked Redbolt.

"Oh my name is Steve", he said.

"No I want to do it alone.", Redbolt said sternly.

"Okay," said Steve "I’ll tell him that right now. And by the way you're next Redbolt."

"Thanks.", said Redbolt picking up his pair of flight goggles and headed out for the try outs.

When he stepped out into the training room he was greeted by two friends of his.

"Hello Redbolt.", said Spitfire.

"Are you ready?" Asked Soarin.

"Yeah ,what do I have to do?", he asked.

"Fly through the training course." they said at the same time.

Redbolt looked to his left and saw a training course.

"This will be fun." he said as he put down his flight goggles and flexed out his wings.

"Three, two, one, go!", yelled Steve with a stop watch.

When Redbolt was done he asked for his time.

"Five minutes", Steve said to Redbolt, "You did a lot better than your friend Ricky but not as good as Rainbow Dash."

"That's okay", said Redbolt, "I was trying to beat Ricky anyways."

A few weeks later at Redbolt's home.

Derpy yelled, "i brought you a letter"

She handed it to him and he noticed it was from the Wonder blots.

"Thanks Derpy", said Redbolt.

He gave her a muffin for the road ahead because he knew she liked them so much. Then he closed the door and opened the letter excitedly anxious to read it.

Dear Redbolt,

On behalf of the wonder bolts, I would like to say I'm sorry for this but we can't accept you at this time. We wish you the best of luck and maybe you will get a letter someday saying you are now a wonder bolt.

Your friends,

Spitfire and Soarin.

PS: Please don't hate us for this. We are so sorry.

   Redbolt dropped to his knees and started to cry.

"How could they say no to me? I bet my friend didn't make it ether." he cried out as picked up his phone and called his friend Ricky.

"Hello?", said Ricky.

"hi Ricky", said Redbolt.

"Oh Redbolt, What's the matter, why are you crying?", Ricky asked his sad friend.

"I'm not a wonder bolt", Redbolt replied with some tears in his eyes, "But i called you to see if you made it in or not?"

"I'm sorry Redbolt but I did make in to the wonder bolts. I'm sorry can i call you later to see how you are doing?", he asked his friend.

"Sure", said Redbolt and hung up.

I can't believe it my friend a wonder bolt. Then, an idea came to his mind. Well, if Spitfire can have her flight group so can I. He started to smile. We will be the Shadow bolts. The outcasts and i'll be the leader. Then, he went off to find a pair of flight goggles that were different and on the way back he found the skin suit he wanted for his flight group. He went in to the shop.

"Can you make me more of these suits?", asked Redbolt as he pointed to the one he was asking about.

"What logo would be on it?", asked the owner.

He saw another reject. Her name was Nightshade. She was the sister of Spitfire and he could not help him self to go and see what she was crying about. But he new why.

"Hey Nightshade", he said to her.from the shop while the owner was getting measurements of him.

"There, I'm finished", said the owner of the shop.

"What is going on here?", Nightshade asked Redbolt.

"Well it's a long story.", he said.

"Go ahead", she coaxed.

Then he told her the story and finished breathing heavy from his long winded story.

"Count me in but let me get my friends here to see if they want in.", she said.

After a lot of talking they agreed they shall be know as the Shadow bolts.
