A loving heart

The sun rose on a clear and beautiful day. The wonderbolts were scheduled to perform in Ponyville, so it was clear who had gotten up and cleared the clouds so early. Twilight looked out into a marvelous blue sky. If she looked into the distance she could see the brilliant green leaves of Apple Acres.
"Wow Spike! Look how beautiful it is today! The sky looks like a beautiful sapphire!" She said.
"Wake me up when you see a real sapphire." Grumbled Spike, rolling over in his little bed.

A few hours later, she and Rarity were headed to meet their friends in the field where the Wonderbolts were performing. Rarity was wearing the gem Spike had given her and she seemed excited.
"I can't believe that Rainbow Dash will finally be able to prove her stuff to the Wonderbolts!" Rarity said. After the show there would be a little competition of the Ponyville Pegasus that the Wonderbolts were going to over-see.
"Yeah, Rainbow must be so excited." Twilight agreed.
Suddenly a blur of color went by them, halted, turned around, and zoomed back. It was Rainbow Dash.
"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. I can't believe that I'm finally going to get to perform for the Wonderbolts!" She said flying around them in circles.
"Wow Rainbow Dash, you must have been planning your routine for weeks!" Twilight said.
"Try months!" She said, "I'm going clear the sky in ten seconds flat speed around the field faster than anything, I will fly through the Evergreen forest without missing a beat, then I'm going to swoop down and pull up right before I hit the ground. The finale is, well it's a surprise." She said boastfully.
As they entered the field Rainbow seemed to get a little bit more nervous. Her pink eyes darted around, and her hooves began to shake.
"Hey guys!" Said Fluttershy walking up with Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
"Hello, Fluttershy!" Said Rarity flipping her elegant mane.
"Rainbow?" Fluttershy said looking at the speedy pony.
"There's somethin' wrong with Dash." Said Applejack looking at her with concern.
"I think that she's nervous!" Shouted Pinkie.
"Oh no! We are not having a repeat of the Cloudsdale competition. Rainbow Dash!" Yelled Applejack, getting Rainbow's attention. "You are not going to be nervous! You are the fastest pony in all of Equestria, and you will not fail!" She yelled at Rainbow Dash.
It seemed to calm down the multicolored pony quite a bit. "You know what Applejack?" She said, "You're right! I don't need to be nervous! I'm the fastest, bravest, coolest pony in all of Equestria, and I'm not gonna fail."
"Oh great now you've done it Applejack." Rarity said haughtily.
"I'm the awesomest, coolest pony, no pony can beat me. I dare Everypony to try. No one can beat this girl!" She said.
"Yep, she's fine now." Laughed Twilight. Everyone began to laugh with her. Rainbow Dash was one arrogant pony, but without her arrogance, she might not be Rainbow anymore.

Everyone stood around in the field, waiting for the show to start. Out of the blue six blue and yellow blurs flew over everypony's head. Their entrance was followed by a loud crash of thunder, scaring everypony senseless. After a moment they regained their composure and began to clap.
"Woo!" Screamed Rainbow Dash, jumping up and yelling for more. Her friends watched her with smiles. This was one of her dreams come true.
The Wonderbolt's performed for about an hour longer, bringing with them many cheers and yells (mostly from Rainbow Dash).
After they finished the competition began. Rainbow Dash had, of course, gotten the ending act; she insisted they had to save the best for last. They saw many crashes, and a few really good acts, but no one had a chance of beating Rainbow Dash.
She flew over there heads at warp speed. They cloudy sky was cleared almost instantly. She zipped through the thick forest trees, clearing every single one without even coming close to crashing. She swooped down towards the crowd, and right before she splattered on the ground she pulled up and flew towards the sky. She gained speed as she sped upward. She went faster and faster, until they all heard the loud crash of the sonic rainboom and a rainbow stretched out over their heads.
Everyone cheered and screamed, excited by her amazing performance. There wasn't a pony not cheering or yelling.
"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" They chanted as the flattered pony set her feet on the ground again. Her five best friends ran out to her.
"Rainbow Dash you were amazing!" They all cried, crowding around her. She blushed and smiled.
Then they parted as Spitfire walked up to her.
"You're still as amazing as always Rainbow Dash." Said the Pegasus looking at her with awe.
"Thanks Spitfire, I can't believe you remember me." Said Rainbow.
"How could we not remember the pony that saved our lives?" Said the Wonderbolt laughing, "And remember you won that day with us last time you performed."
"Best day of my life!- I mean it was pretty cool." She said trying to sound as awesome as Spitfire did.
"Well, we wanted to welcome you to the Wonderbolts." She said.
"…… What did you just say?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I said that we want you to join the Wonderbolts and perform with us sometimes." She said again smiling.
"I ACCEPT!" Rainbow yelled.
"Great! Welcome to the team." Spitfire said walking away.
"Hey," Said a familiar voice. "I just wanted to welcome you to the Wonderbolts too."
"You're Soarin aren't you?" Asked Rainbow, although she already knew the answer to that.
"Yeah. I was wondering…. If you wanted to hang out or something?" He asked almost sheepishly.
"Well, I promised my friends I would hang out with them afterwards…" Rainbow began.
"Rainbow, you hang out with us all the time." Applejack started.
"We think that you should hang out with him Darling." Rarity stated.
"YEAH Rainbow Dash! You should go hang out with this guy!" Pinkie said in her upbeat loud voice.
"Well…. If you guys say so!" She said, filled with excitement that they let her go with Soarin.
"Well then Rainbow Dash. Let's go." Said Soarin spreading his wings and taking to the sky. She waved goodbye to her friends then took off after him.
"There she goes," Applejack said smiling. Everypony else was thinking the same thing she was.
