A rainbow coloured trail

Dear dad,

First I'd like to say I am fine. I know mom would like to hear that, altough, I miss my friends and you sometimes.
I'm at the Wonderbolts Academy and I might become a Wonderbolt at the next gala.
But I need to...
I stopped. If I asked him about that case, who knew what he would do?
Maybe he did'nt wanted to talk about it.
give a presentation about a Pegasus I don't know. Her name is Aviane and I'd like to ask if you might know something about her or where I can find things about her.
The other pegasi are nice. I've made some friends already. Maybe you heard of them. Soarin and Fleetfoot, the two blue pony's who often fly with Spitfire. I am really excited that my dream will come true.
I hope you write me back soon and thanks for all the support when I was a filly.

When I came back from the post office I decided to search Fleetfoot. I needed to talk to her scince I left her yesterday in the toilets.
And I needed to tell Soarin that Louise and April might hide something in their bags. In the evening he and somepony else could look.
"Uhm Rainbow? Why are you staring into the hallway?" Fleetfoot asked.
I shook my head.
"Fleetfoot! I've been searching for you." I said. I really didn't notice her.
She smiled.
"I think I can prove you did'nt stole the key."
Better tell something else before she asked stuff about me.
"Really?" She hugged me. "Soarin is such a good friend. We never had a fight."
"Then we better go search him." I looked around for a blue stallion.
She let go of me.
We turned around to the mess hall were a lot of Wonderbolt cadets were looking at the wall that says who was the lead pony.
I standed there once, when I was the wing pony of Lightning Dust. Sometimes I wonder where she went after she got kicked out.
Outside Fleetfoot froze. Soarin was on the other side of the little field used for breaks.
"You go tell him." she said and looked at the grass.
I nodded and walked to him.
"Soarin, I found something suspicious. I think Louise and April are hiding something." I said.
'Really?"
Spitfire came stand next to Soarin.
"What's up? Still about that key?" She looked at Soarin. I'm sure she tried to tell him something.
"Yes. Rainbow thinks Louise or April has something to do with it." he explained.
"April?" Spitfire put down her aviators a bit. "You sure about that?"
I nodded and tought of Spitfires ruined office.
"Oh, before you go, did you notice something weird in your office when you came there after lunch?"
"Not that I remember, why?" She took ther glasses off.
"Nothing, maybe they left something." I shrugged.
Spitfire closed her eyes half. "All right, I'm going to the Dizzitron."
She flew away but I felt she did'nt believe me, but the proof she did'nt care about Female Pony was worth Spitfires suspicion.
"Where have you been the whole day? Maybe you have seen something?" I asked.
"Well I went to the field after breakfast with Spitfire and Wave Chill. Then I went inside to drink something with Spitfire and when we were outside again I did'nt see Fleetfoot.
In the afternoon I found all my stuff on the floor of the locker room. When I told Fleetfoot we had a little fight.
Then I went to my room and studied some choreography's.
In the evening I went to the restaurant. You know the rest." He said.
That meant he didn't tell me everything. He was there in Spitfires office when DFemale Pony trashed that place.
"I'm having patrouille now. Bye!" He flew away.
I turned around walking back to Fleetfoot.
"What did he say?" she asked.
"That it was nice to hear it was'nt you." I answered.
Fleetfoot smiled and went to her room.

What did I need to do more? Check voices.
There were 6 mares, me included, and 4 stallions.
Well. April is too shy to have Female Pony's voice. Louise's voice is too high, more like Rarity's, but with a mean accent.
Kaila could be possible, but why would she have another key? She usually goes everywhere Louise goes.
Fluff is a morning person and goes to bed at 9PM or earlier and the other girl was on holiday.
Strato, the blue guy has a raspy voice, but is the worst flyer out here. Then there are two brothers who are not fast enough either.
The other one, who is light green could be possible too, but I'm sure Female Pony is a she.
But it still sounds wrong. Nopony of the Wonderbolts in Training knows Soarin ór Spitfire very well.
This is just getting more complicated every minute.

I spend the rest of the day at the library reading Daring Do. It was better then going with Louises group and look at weird dresses.
If they want real nice dresses, they should call Rarity.
'And then Daring Do turned around. The sunlight shined in her face and showed her how to get back.'
I closed the book. ~~Daring Do~~ A.K. Yearling was really good at writing a suggestive end.
Who knew where she would go next? You had to get the next book if you wanted to know.
I put the book back in the shelf. What should I read next?
I browsed trough the books when I saw 'The History of Cloudsdale: Every important Pegasus' life in detail' maybe there was something about Aviane?
Probably not, but it was worth a shot. If she owned the academy she had to be a little famous.
I pulled the book out and searched for a table. Why does this book has to be so heavy? I looked in the index.
Maybe Aviane was'nt famous enough but looking at the size of the book half Cloudsdale had to be famous.
Half of the book was about Pegasi I've never heard of. I was in it too.
Aviane, page 1246. Gotcha!
I turned the pages.
Famous Pegasus: Aviane
Real name: Unknown
Nickname: The proud one, The bragger, Rainbow
There was a whole list of facts and a short description.
The famous Aviane, wich real name is unknown is the fastest Pegasus known in history. There's nothing known about her family and friends. According to an unknow source her name comes from the latin word avis meaning bird. After breaking the academy record she claimed to be the fastest ever and became over self-confident. Her signatures were her rainbow coloured mane and red eyes.
She was found dead at the age of 21 near the Wonderbolts Academy. Just sfter she visited her villa in Cloudsdale. She assumably comitted suicide.
I stared at the picture. A black mare with a long, wavy mane looked at the camera. She... Looked like my dad. Somehow.
A voice told me that the library was closing. On the way back I bumped onto at least 5 others.
I did'nt care. I just tought of Aviane.
What if dad is family from her? He has a rainbow coloured mane like Aviane. But how did Aviane get to own the academy?
I learned that the academy was started by a guy who was a member of the Wondebolts who tought the new Wonderbolts were untrained.
I'm really going to sound like an egghead.
I was laying on my bed when Louise & co came back with a lot of noise. I wondered what Soarin and Fleetfoot were doing.
I should tell them. They would know what to do.

The next day on the field we lined up while Spitfire shouted at us about the key and that she thought one of us had something.
Then we all needed to empty our bags, wich was pretty annoying because the field was a little wet and Louise took too much space to lay down her hat collection. Fleetfoot, Soarin and another wonderbolt checked the stuff starting with Fluff and ending with the brothers slow and slower. I really question sometimes what they and Strato are even doing here.
"I found a document." Soarin pulled the paper out of one of Louises hats and Spitfire immediately grabbed it.
"This is the missing one. You!" She pointed at Louise "are coming to my office in 15 minutes. The others pack your stuff."
She paused and then shouted "and give me 500 laps." I rolled my eyes and put my things back in the bag.

"Aaand..... 500 for Rainbw Dash!" said Fleetfoot while waving her hoof. I landed.
"I knew it was'nt you." I said. Because it was me, but I did'nt tell her that.
"Thank you. Soarin apologised for blaming me." Fleetfoot said.
"Where is he now?" I asked. "Before the 500 laps he was here."
"With Spitfire." I could see she did'nt liked it. She never did and somehow I did'nt either.
"Fleetfoot, I want to tell you something." This was the moment to tell her about the Aviane stuff.
"My dad owned the Wonderbolts Academy once before Spitfire got it. He got it from Aviane, but I don't know why."
Fleetfoot was silent for a while. Behind me Louise landed to go to Spitfire. Somewhere I feel bad about having her punished.
"Then I think we need to go to the archive of the Academy. Everything is there." Fleetfoot then said.
I nodded. "Then lets go!" I prepared to fly but Fleetfoot said something that made me do a facehoof.
"We need to steal a key."

The moment I really regretted ever looking at the file saying 'case' was when Fleetfoot and I got stuck in the unused stuff closet at night while the nightguard decided to have a break in the hallway.
"Is he going away?" Fleetfoot whispered.
"No, is there something wrong?" She sounded nervous. She nodded.
"Why?" I tilted my head and looked at her face. She looked so scared.
She was silent and stared at the ground.
"B-because... Spitfire and Soarin are always here."
Did I miss something? I'm probably blind or something.
"Together. I mean...." she blushed "you know."
I nodded slowly. I felt I blushed too and tried not to laugh.
It was too funny! Spitfire the hothead and Soarin, who is always so calm. That could'nt be true, but if it was, then it was crazy.
Fleetfoot stared at me with her big sad eyes and I could'nt imagine anything funny about it anymore.
The way she looked. Like a filly who lost somepony they loved. Loved. The word got stuck in my head.
The guard decided that his break was finally over and left. Without speaking or looking at eachother we stole the key out of the Wonderbolts only room and went to the door to the basement.
Fleetfoot unlocked the door.
Loved loved loved. An inner Dash kept repeating it. Be quiet. There are bigger problems then digging into Soarins love life.
We flought down very silently
"It is in the fifth shelf." Fleetfoot pointed to the left to a shelf with a bad painted 5 on it.
Loved loved loved.
She pulled out a box with paper in it, probably very old.
"Everything you need is in here." She was still sad.
I searched trough the box but I did'nt notice what was on the papers.
Loved loved loved.
My inner Dash really could'nt stop saying that. If she said something useful for once.
I browesed trough some more papers.
Loved loved loved. I gasped.
"What did you found?"
I looked at the paper right in front of me. It was from a newspaper. 'Bragging-queen and flying wonder fastest forever?'
It had a picture of Aviane with it.
"Uhh... This." I got the paper out of the box. I read the rest of the article.

Aviane the proud one (aka better then everypony else) yesterday signed a document saying that the one to break her record owned her most valuable property wich was (surprisingly) NOT her giant collection medals, but none other then the Wonderbolts Academy, which she got from her grandfather. Hey aviane, do you think you can give away your grandfathers inheritance like that? Besides that, she has been spotted having a fight with style icon Amélie in front of Amélie's villa. Is Aviane losing her mind? We wonder how long she can keep going on like this. Stay tuned for the all expected downfall of one of Cloudsdales famous celebrities.

"What record?" Before I noticed I said it out loud. Fleetfoot tilted her head.
"You don't know?" she sounded surprised.
Uhm no. I really missed something.
"The academy record." She started whispering "On the dizzitron."
I did'nt get it. And what has that to do with all these weird things?
"You dont get it?" she raised an eyebrow.
No. You can see I don't get it!
"I will explain, but tell nopony you got it from me. We're not supposed to talk about it."
Loved loved loved. Oh, please inner Dash, this is just getting intresting.
"Aviane set the record and said whoever broke it would get to own the whole academy."
Then dad broke her record. Somehow I felt proud that Aviane, who apparently was'nt a very nice Pegasus, was beaten by my dad.
"My dad broke that record then. But he never was capatain." I wondered why.
"He probably just inheirted it because nopony broke Avianes record and he is family of Aviane, but that doesn't have to mean he was captain. It's possible that a pegasus owns the academy officlially while another is in charge." Fleetfoot explained.
That's why I never knew anything of this. Dad wasn;t needed here because this place could care for itself. He only owned it on the papers.
"When Spitfire became captain, we were told never to talk about this. And when we did, a painful silence felt having Spitfire leave the room." Fleetfoot continued.
And I really tought this would give answers. All I have now is more questions.
Loved loved loved.
Just ignore it.
We put the box back and walked back to the stairs.
"Sorry about laughing. I just tought it was too weird to be true," I stared at the ceiling which was painted poorly white.
Fleetfoot said nothing.
"About Spitfire and Soarin I mean. They're opposites." I started to feel guilty about talking about Soarin this much.
"I know. And I should be happy for him but somehow I can't."
She now even sounded sad. I felt bad about her being sad. She was my friend since I came here.
Loved loved loved. Shut up inner Dash.
I hugged her and she cried.
Loved loved loved.
Fleetfoot loved Soarin.
