Side story to What You Mean To Me.

At last being able to call herself a Wonderbolt? Being friends with her lifelong heroes? An almost perfect balance of her new life as a budding celebrity (finally), along with her old life and best friends in Ponyville? Not to mention a sweet new pad in Cloudsdale?

Yep, Rainbow Dash has it all.

Or, she almost has it all. There's still one thing she has yet to accomplish: Getting her number one fan in the air alongside her.

The attempt had started like any other, full of basic drills, warmups, and a healthy dose of vocal encouragement, Rainbow Dash was sure that today would be the day.

But then something happened. Something awful. Something that changed everything. Something that pretty much guaranteed that this particular dream will stay a dream forever.

Rainbow Dash can't bear the shame, so she goes to look for strength in a place most wouldn't even consider.
