On a roll
Moving in
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI opened my eyes slowly. It was morning already. guess I must have fallen asleep... I thought. I glanced over at Rumble, who was already awake, he was just starring into space. I shrugged as I examined my room. It was nice, and neat except for my bed when the maid would come in and fix it up. I turned to a mirror and began brushing my mane. I loved the way the pricks glided through my mane. I grabbed my toothbrush and squirted toothpaste on it. Morning breath was always horrible. I began brushing and scrubbing my teeth, clean. When I was done I spat out and rinsed my mouth with water. I gave a quick check In the mirror.
"Rumble, wake up" I called softly.
Rumble sat up as he smiled and began to rub his eyes.
I waited for him by the door patiently. Today we were getting our training suits! I was so exited! Just had to wait for him to comb his mane and.... DONE! We zoomed out the door.
"We forgot to lock it!" He gasped.
I groaned "crap! Go lock it" I said.
Rumble nodded as he flew back and locked the door to our room.
We resumed flying to the door that would take us outside. I could feel the warm breeze slap my face as I went by. I quickly slowed down and folded my wings. I trotted outside peacefully.
"Couldn't we just have flown?" He asked.
"We don't want to be seen as too exited" I murmured.
He nodded his head in understanding, as he trotted next to me and entered the building for our training suits.
~~~
"I love this one! Fits me perfectly!" I said as I motioned towards my training suit.
Rumble nodded as he checked his won. We both looked awesome in our training suits. The rest had them on too. We week standing in a single file line next to each other. A yellow pegasus known as Spitfire came into view. She had on glasses and a blue shirt.
"Y'all think you got what it takes to be a Wonderbolt?!" She thundered.
"Yes ma'am!" Replied everyone but me. I wasn't intimidated by her.
She went up to Chip Mint. "Still think your hot stuff?" She asked.
Chip Mint nodded his head no shakily.
She trotted over to Cheery. "Still think your something special?" She asked.
Cheery nodded her no as well.
She went up to me.
"I bet you couldn't even past the first obstacle" she said waiting to see my reaction.
"I bet you couldn't even pass Wonderbolts academy. What'd you get? A pass?" I challened.
Everypony gasped.
Spitfire looked at me angrily. "You look like the worst flier!" She spat.
I laughed." Actually, YOU are. You don't even train! All you do is plop your butt in your office and sign papers" I shot back.
Spitfire smiled "congratulations" she whispered.
I frowned. What was that supposed to mean?
She passed on to Rumble.
"Betcha you'll give up on the first try" she said.
Rumble rolled his eyes "if I were to give up,I wouldn't be here, would I?" He asked.
Spitfire smiled at him the same way she had smiled at me.
"Were gonna go on the Dizatron, first!" She yelled.
I smiled as I slipped my air goggles on. This was going to be easy. Rainbow Dash my have gotten the best time on this thing, but my goal was to be better than her. I smiled challengingly at Spitfire. She cocked and eyebrow and smiled.
"Wanna go first, kid?" She asked.
"Try me" I growled competitively.
Spitfire nodded.
I flew over and adjusted myself in the little metal strap. "Oh, and change this from slow to death speed" I said.
Spitfire murmured something as the same pony who had been giving keys to our doors switched a lever from turtle, to rabbit to a skull.
I made sure my goggles were put on correctly, before the machine started. I started spinning round and round and round. The whole world was a blur to me. It was a mix of different colors. It was.... AWESOME!
"Release!" Yelled Spitfire, as I was shot up into the sky. I shook my head and spread my wings. I was still pretty dizzy, but was able to recover as I zoomed down.
Spitfire looked at me, astonished. She was speechless. "Three seconds, flat" she whispered.
I opened my mouth. Three seconds. THREE SECONDS. THREE SECONDS! I set the record! I felt so awesome as all the other pegasi hoof bumped me! Woah! This was amazing! I HAD to send a letter to Dash!
"Get back in your places!" Yelled Spitfire, going back to fierce mode.
Everypony scampered back to their places in a hurry.
Spitfire turned to me. "You can watch the others, or go rest for a bit over there on the bench" she said.
"I'll watch" I said as I sat down. Bee Bop was next. He was a orange pegasus with a red mane. He got on the dizatron, that had already been set back to turtle. He gulped as it began spinning round and round and round. No pony would top my speed. I was sure of it.
"Resale!" Shouted Spitfire as Bee Bop was launched in the air. He was still extremely dizzy and stayed on a cloud for about five seconds before falling down face flat.
Spitfire looked at him in disgust. "You dishonor me" she hissed in his ear.
Bee Bop whimpered and sat next to me. "You made it look so easy!" He said in a winey tone.
I remembered when some pony had said that to Rainbow Dash "I make everything look easy" I replied.
