On a roll

     "Are we there yet?" Asked Rumble

"Ugh! I'll tell you when we get there!" I said loudly. We had been trotting for quite a while now and all Rumble would ask is 'are we there yet?'. I could see the rainbow pointing upwards to Cloudsdale, and we WERE almost there...

"Can't we just stop and rest?" He asked me.

"Fine" I replied as I plopped down next to a tree. I took out my sandwich RD had packed me and took a large bite.

Rumble eyed the sandwich hungrily.

"Thunder Lane didn't pack you anything to eat?!" I asked shocked.

"No. He said that snack breaks are for mares" he shrugged.

I punched him playfully "Hey!"

"Well, not mares like you but..." he turned around at me and we starred deep into each other's eyes for a while. I shook the odd feeling that was swelling up inside me off. I took out a hotdog wrapped in aluminium foil. "Here. Take it" I said as I hoofed over the sandwich.

Rumble looked at me thankfully as he took the hot dog and wolfed it down.

I myself, took another big bite of the sandwich. Rainbow Dash had flown to Twilight's house and picked up some sandwiches. She had packed one for me, especially. The flavor flowed down my throat as I gobbled up the rest. Rumble had already finished and was drinking some water. I took out my own water and began to drink. It was still ice cold, so that was good.

"C'mon" said Rumble who had already stood up with his saddlebags adjusted.

I did the same as I stood up and began trotting next to him.

"We're here" I breathed happily. After five hundred hours (okay, maybe just twenty minutes) we were at the rainbow. I began to fly upwards to Cloudsdale. I loved the sensation of the fresh breeze ruffling through my mane. I could tell Rumble enjoyed it as well.

"We're going to the Wonderbolts academy" he said in a sing song voice.

Almost there! I thought. Cloudsdale was only about five wing flaps higher...YES! Me and Rumble shot up into Cloudsdale.

"Hey Scootaloo!"

It was some Sony's voice... some pony I recognized... Feather Weight!

"Hey Feather Weight!" I yelled as I swooped down onto the large cloud. Pound Cake was there as well.

"Hey Pound" I greeted.

"Sup'" he asked as we did a hoof bump.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around.

"Hi Scootaloo" said a shy voice.

"CHEERY!" I exclaimed as we embraced in a friendly hug.

"Haven't seen you since middle school! What high school are you going to now?" She asked. Her braces still were on her teeth and she sounded pretty funny.

"Ponyville high" I replied casually. I wiped some imaginary dust off my chest.

"Mm. Well, I'm gonna get adjusted to my room and my roommate" she said as she flew off towards a grey pony with a black mane, mustache and a blue shirt on with a blue cap, who was giving the pegasi room numbers, as they entered a medium sized building.

I shrugged as I flew over to him.

"Name?" He asked me.

"Scootaloo" I responded.

"Envelope?"

I pulled out my envelope and gave it to him. He nodded as he gave me my keys.

"Rumble, is already in you two's room. He has the same copy of keys" mumbled the pegasus.

I nodded as I took the keys in my mouth.

"Hey Scootaloo!"

I turned around. It was Chip Mint. I waved my hoof at him and gave him a i-can't-talk-because-I-have-keys-in-my-mouth look. He seemed to understand as he smiled and trotted into his room where Pound Cake was setting up his stuff on his side of the room. I trotted over to the room marked 3. I smiled which was hard to do as I opened the door. Rumble was on his side where his bed was nicely made. He had a poster of the Wonderbolts. There was Soarin, Fleet Foot, Leaping River and Cloud Buster. I spotted Spitfire's head rearing in the picture, trying to get in. I grinned as I trotted over to my bed.

"Hey Scoots!" He said as he smiled.

"Heyo" I said as I dropped my saddlebags on the floor and began putting the blankets on my bed alongside my pillow. I posted my calendar next to my bed. For January there was a picture of Soarin in the snow. February, was Spitfire flying through the autum forest. March, was Leaping River by a waterfall grinning straight at the pony who bought this. April, was Cloud Buster kicking clouds and making thunder. May, was Rainbow Dash and Soarin sitting together next to each other on a cloud. June, which was this month had all of the Wonderbolts together standing and smiling.This was gonna be amazing. I was going to be a Wonderbolt! I opened the window as the breeze ruffled through my mane. I sighed happily as I gazed at the large training area.

"Scootaloo..I was going to ask you..but uh.."

His voice faded as he glanced down.

"What? Tell me" I demanded as just fixed my gaze back on him.

Rumble took a deep breath. "There's going to be a dance. Sorta like prom. Will you go with me?" He asked me quickly.

I coughed nervously. I didn't want to break his heart. I had to say yes. "S-sure" I said. I hesitated a bit.

Rumble beamed "YES! I mean...cool" he said as he blushed.

I gulped. "Y-yeah." I mumbled. I wasn't very comfortable going to the Cloudsdale training prom with my best guy friend. I shook it off as I resumed unpacking. I took out my circle shapped rug and spread it across the floor. The room's floor was already rug, but who cared anyways? I pulled out a poster that had Leaping River with sunglasses on drinking lemonade. It said: Like a boss. I smiled as I sprawled it across my wall where my bed was facing. I pulled out another poster that had a highway. It had in bold letters printed, one of my favorite comebacks: You must have been born on a highway... that's where most accidents happen I hung it up,so when I went to sleep I could see it. I flopped down on my bed and sighed. What a day
