In a large empty field just outside Ponyville

Rainbow grinned as she addressed Storm. "Alright whoever reaches that tree over there first, wins." She informed him, pointing a hoof towards a lone tree in the distance. "Now, I'm sure that seems pretty far and all.. But don't worry; I'll go easy on you." Rainbow boasted. "We'll go on Pinkie Pie's mark, and the Mayor will judge, since she's waiting over there." Storm grinned right back, "We'd better not keep her waiting then.." He chuckled. "Although, I don't think you should underestimate me." Storm told her. "You just might lose." Rainbow laughed, amused by that idea. "We'll see..."

"Ready, set, GOAT!" Pinkie exclaimed as both ponies nearly took off, Rainbow barely stopping herself. "Really Pinkie? You're supposed to be telling us to go, not yelling goat." She complained. "Okie Dokie Lokie!" Pinkie exclaimed with a smile. "Ready, set, GO!" She said, doing it correctly this time. Rainbow Dash took off immediately, flying at a steady pace. Pinkie looked at Storm confused, as he started to lift off and commented. "You know, I said go... so you can go, don't give up n-" She started as an attempt to encourage him, having thought he was nervous. However, Pinkie was cut off as Storm disappeared, leaving behind nothing but the pink mare and a sonic boom.

"Hah, I've got this in the bag!" Rainbow gloated to herself. "That poor pony's probably still sitting there, while I finish the race!" She laughed, barely noticing as something whizzed by. "Woah, what was that?" Rainbow asked herself. Her eyes widened as she looked in front of her at the Mayor, and... "What! How did you?! Where did you?! What!" Rainbow spluttered out her surprise as she landed by the tree. "There's no way, you were still at the start with Pinkie just a minute ago! How coul-" She started to complain, before she was cut off by Pinkie's sudden appearance.

"Wowee! That was awemazing! You were just kinda floating there, and I was all like 'Shouldn't you be racing?' and then you just like, disappeared! And then there was a big booming noise! And now you're here!" She exclaimed, attempting to throw her whole body into her explanation. Coming to a realization, Pinkie's eyes widened. "You beat Dashie! Wowee, you must have been fast! I've never seen Dashie lose a race to anypony before!" She informed Storm. Storm rubbed the back of his neck with a hoof. "Well, it took a lot of exercise and wing training.." He started. "But it was all worth it, since I can do things like breaking the sound barrier pretty easily." Storm explained to the gathered ponies. Rainbow blinked at him "Seriously?" She asked. "Yeah, but unfortunately I'm also unlikely to ever go faster than my current top speed..." He replied. "I started training too hard, too early. Because of that, I can't get any faster than I am now..."

Rainbow grinned at Storm. "Well it's fast enough I suppose." She told him. "Welcome to the weather team, I'll get a schedule to you soon, probably tomorrow or the day after." Rainbow said. "Thanks Rainbow Dash, I'll be sure to work super hard!" Storm exclaimed with a wide smile. "Well, don't overdo it... But you shouldn't slack off either." She informed him. "I'll see you later; I've got important stuff to do!" Rainbow told them, flying off with the intent to nap. Pinkie waved as Rainbow flew off. "Bye Rainbow Dash!" She shouted out before turning to Storm. "Hey Storm, you wanna meet some of my friends?!" She asked smiling excitedly. Storm smiled back at her, as he replied "Sure, sounds like fun!"
