Golden Flashby rikkuidolChaptersThe Golden FlashRemembering You HurtsStep 1: Proper CalculationStep 2: Sonic RainboomFinal Step: Golden LightThe Golden Flash"SOARIN'!", a loud and irretated sound was heard in the hallways of wonderbolts HQ, "Soarin'!!!", again it came, now from the HQ Lounge only to be ignored. "OH FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE!! , SOARING CLOUD YOU BETTER GET YOUR FLANK OVER HERE OR SO HELP ME LUNA YOU WILL BE SORRY NOT LISTENING TO ME!!", and within seconds a blue manned pegasus stallion covered with pie in his mouth is standing in front of the 2 awaiting Pegasus. "ummm sorry for that guys i was having a light snack, ehehehe..." said soarin' with a sheepish smile, a slight blush and a face still covered with pie. "hahaha!! jeez soarin' when spitfire mentions your full name it really means something huh?!" said a golden manned pegasus stallion sitting on the floor with a pair of earphones on and a wonderbolt goggles dangling in his neck. Next to him was an irate spitfire ready to burst out a world of pain to the late soarin', if it were any other day it would be okay, but today was an important day, the day that they pay a visit to princess celestia and princess luna in canterlot, due to the request of princess celestia that one of the Elements of harmony join them as a member of the wonderbolts. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS SOARIN, DO YOU?!" said the agitated spitfire "We had a personal request from the princess! And as part of her personal fliers the BEST in Equestria!, we need to comply! if it's any other day it would be ok to be late, we've known each other for too long and you know i don't like leaving people hanging, especially the princess" and with a sigh "today is something special, an Element of Harmony, a mare with a dream and talent wants to become a wonderbolt, weren’t we the same before?" said spitfire holding onto her uniform "did you forget?" added spitfire with a frown. "Sorry spitfire i-i-i was just hungry and you know me, it's just... sorry" said soarin' looking down and wiping his face clearing off some pie left in his muzzle. With a huge sigh spitfire got near soarin and flicked a small pie crumb in the top of soarin's nose and nuzzled him, "It's ok, never mind the past, i know you more than anyone" said spitfire "Now cmon' we still have like 30 mins. till the "audition" she added. in the corner of the meeting room after laughing his flank from the lecturing soarin had from spitfire, sat a golden manned stallion Pegasus, his name, Golden Flash, as his name states his cutie mark is of a flash much like in cartoons when a flash from a camera is being shown. They say a sonic rainboom was just a legend, but of course it wasn't made a legend or even a story if no one ever saw it or even had an idea of it, in golden flash's state a sonic rainboom isn't supposed to be possible for any pony but himself, and for this young pony it's just step 2 of his best 3 trick flash, the final step being the "golden light" but that step will be saved to show it to the so called Element of Harmony named "Rainbow Dash". That name, in the far reaches of golden flashes mind the name "Rainbow dash" somehow pinched, it's like he's forgetting something, something important, if not important something he really needs to prove, something, every time he hears that name. "YO FLASH! Let's MOVE!!" screamed spitfire, "yeah, yeah you don’t need to tell me twice~" and with that the 3 wonderbolts readied themselves and with a few seconds they flew out of the HQ with their signature thunder cloud trail heading for canterlot, where a nervous rainbow dash awaits her audition to become a member of her lifelong dream team the "Wonderbolts" but there is more to this audition/recruitment than meets the eye. At the Castle yard in canterlot a nervous talented young mare awaits her Idols, ever since this morning or even last night she couldn’t keep her excitement to herself, when she finally got the letter from princess celestia on congratulating her and inviting her for a chance to be one of the wonderbolts, the young mare couldn’t sleep, eat or even standstill, even after this she readied her mind and thought off all the tricks she practiced over the years and to finally let the wonderbolts see her hard work and preservation. "u-um...R-r-rainbow dash...?' said a soft familiar voice. "Huh?" Said rainbow dash, snapping back to reality "Who..?, oh! hey Fluttershy what's up?" "ummmmm, Are y-y-ou ok?" said fluttershy in her somehow normal soft small voice. "Y-y-yeah i'm-i'm alright, WHY would'nt i be?, as a matter of fact im in my TOP GAME! im ready to show my best of the best tricks to impress the WONDERBOLTS!" said rainbow dash. "W-w-well..you just seem..um..." muttered fluttershy, "seem what?" answered rainbow dash "Ummm...nevermind.." again muttered fluttershy. "SPILL IT fluttershy, what have i told you about asserting yourself?" said rainbow. "eeeepp... we-we-well its just...you you...just look...um....nervous?" said fluttershy, "Nervous? hah! m-m-m-me? n-n-n-nervous? h-h-h-how?", then fluttershy pointed at a half fainted spike, it was rare to see rainbow dash making physical contact with any pony including spike but, when spike told rainbow dash that his idols where coming in less than 15 mins. She suddenly grab hold of the dragon and blanked out. after fluttershy pointed at what rainbow dash was doing she quickly let go of the poor baby dragon and gave out a sheepish smile and apologized, "ehehehe, sorry bout that spike" said rainbow dash, on the floor lay the baby dragon "is taht youuuuuuuu mommy?" said spike with a dizzy face and clearly still feeling faint from his encounter with a ursa minor hug from a nervous rainbow dash, "I~~~~~~ need to go to the washroom! Be back in a sec.!" said rainbow dash And before fluttershy could even say a word rainbow dash was gone. seconds later the huge door opened and came out princess celestia with the rest of the elements of harmony only to see fluttershy caring for a half awake spike, "SPIKE?! What happened?!" screamed Twilight, "Oh the poor dear, what happened? and where is rainbow dash?" said Rarity, "W-w-w-well you see..." said Fluttershy, and she told what the others what happened to spike and where rainbow dash went. ”weeeell, she sure aint fine and dandy ahfter wut she did to poor ol' spike hir', think we shud go follow?" said applejack, "She just needs a little time to herself, let her be" said princess celestia, "the princess is right, she needs to collect her thoughts and face this challenge in front of her, this is her lifelong dream girls, i know raindow won’t back out" said twilight, In the Washroom, rainbow dash was staring into a big mirror with her reflection. "cmon! cmon! This what you've been practicing your whole life! The whole reason for this cutie mark even! This day! I will be a WONDERBOLT! I’m sure of it!! And with the sonic rainboom in my arsenal! I’m sure they'll be impressed!" said rainbow dash, And with a last splash of water in her face! She was determined and dashed off the washroom and onto the open courtyard. "Back in ten seconds flat!" said rainbow dash, upon arriving there she saw her friends, princess celestia and her Idols, the WONDERBOLTS looking at her, and then suddenly pinkie pie bursted laughing, "bwuahahahaha, did you flush before you went out rainbow dash?" said the laughing pinkie pie, "what? What are you laughing at pinkie?" said the blushing rainbow dash, and then pinkie pointed to the trail of toilet paper rainbow dash has on her back hoof, "omigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh, ehehehehe sorry about that" said rainbow dash while trying to kick off the toilet paper, and after a few kicks it got off. "This joke is here for the audition?" said a golden manned Pegasus stallion "1st she had us to wait for 11 secs. Then she shows up with toilet paper in her hooves? what.a.joke." he added taking his goggles off and putting his headphones on, "you wasted my time for this? ugh", he added "Well aren’t yah rude fer someone to be in the best in equestria" said applejack, stomping her hoof in the ground in front of golden flash, then in a flash, rainbow dash was in front of golden flash, "Are saying I’m a liar? Flyboy?" said rainbow dash face to face with golden flash, "flyboy? What? And yes you got here in 11.16 seconds actually" said golden flash, "oh yeah? How could you say or even tell that huh? Do you have a stop watch or something? and Flyboy is because your zipper is open flyboy!" said rainbow dash, and then golden flash looked at his bottom zipper, blushed and closed it quickly, while he saw the others smiling and giggling "So flyboy? Can you prove it? Huh?" said rainbow dash with a grin. An agitated golden flash sighed and then gave rainbow dash a stare that would make twilight's professor in magic some notes to take on starring, "by the judge on the sound you made when you left the washroom i counted or "timed" the sound from the washroom to the kitchen to the lounge through here and my conclusion is 11.16 seconds" said the proud looking golden flash, before rainbow dash could even say something spitfire butted in. "ENOUGH! sorry for golden flash's attitude rainbow, but the kid is right, i know it’s hard to believe but, he's not called a prodigy for nothing, even the princess knows this" said spitfire and looked at princess celestia, the princess looked back and gave a sigh and a nod, "She is right rainbow dash, golden flash is indeed a prodigy and he is a stop watch if you may call it that, but i still do not approve of this attitude mister flash" said princess celestia looking at golden flash with a stare making golden flash look down in embarrassment, “i apologize princess for my attitude" said golden flash, "now if you may take the lead spitfire? let the audition begin" said princess celestia, "with pleasure princess, now rainbow dash show as what you can do..." said spitfire looking at rainbow dash with a smile, with this rainbow dash gave a salute and flew upwards, following her was golden flash. "What do you want flyboy?" said rainbow dash "DONT CALL ME THAT! But that aside, I’m here for your first test" said golden flash, rainbow dash tilted her head and said "what test? Spitfire said to show you guys what I’ve got, so sit back and watch the show", "you don’t get it do you?" said golden flash, "that also goes for me, to become a wonderbolt you have to best a wonderbolt or be as good as one, or else you won't keep up with the team, and i volunteered to be your "partner" so show "ME" what you got rainbow dash!" said golden flash and with that rainbow dash nodded and said "then be sure to catch up when i do my sonic rainboom" saying that rainbow dash flew and made a right turn and flew so fast. Behind her was golden flash, "HAH! Have you ever wondered why that name became popular or even became a legend? Haven’t you ever thought of the person who did it first and gave those old ponies the stories they tell you now?" said golden flash Rainbow dash was picking up speed and golden flash was trailing behind her getting closer and closer, they we're about to break the sound barrier, then rainbow dash said "No way!! I’m the fastest flier around! He can follow me? Can he do the rainboom too?" TO BE CONTINUED! Remembering You Hurts "What the Hay!!!" said rainbow dash in her mind "someone as fast as me? maybe even....." before rainbow dash could finish that train of thought Golden Flash was right next to him. "i must commend you on being this fast, heck your Almost as fast as me!" said Golden Flash with a Grin on his face. "HEY! FLYBOY! we're at the same speed your not faster than me, let's see you keep up!" with that last sentence said, rainbow dash Picked up speed and so was Golden Flash they both are going to break the sound barrier in a few more seconds. "WOWIE ZOWIE!! look at those two GO!!" said Pinkie Pie while holding a Banner saying (GO RAINBOW DASH!) "By my Gran papi's Hat, i never thought i'd see the day wer some pony can match RD, Wehll "that" some pony is from the Wonderbolts! guess they do live up to their name!" said Applejack. "they're amazing! we'll get to see a double rainboom! that's not even in any speed record boo....." "BOOOOOOOM!!!" before twilight could even finish her sentence the two already achieved the Double Rainboom, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" all was in awe of the sonic rainboom, but something seems wrong, one line of the double rainbow is moving more forward and is heading upward to the direction of the sun. "This CANT BE!!!" Thought Aloud by rainbow dash with widening eyes "we both achieved the rainboom... BUT he's still gaining speed!! IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE! i'm wayyyyy more Lighter Than Him! is that even possible!? it does'nt add up! and what is he trying to do??" Golden Flash was going faster and faster heading up to where he calculated and that the ponies below are looking at him going near the sun, well not exactly the sun itself but just the naked eye view of the sun. "Now for the final step.. focus your speed!" said golden flash in his mind. for a split second he stopped then did a quick "L turn" from the naked eyes view of everypony pony below form the sun and did a sonic rainboom again, due to the sun's light, golden flash's mane and the rainboom, the trail he left was not a rainbow any more but yet a Golden trail... Every ponies eyes widened and mouth agape, INCLUDING the princess, she knew a rainboom is achievable with pure speed, but combining the sun's light, a ponies mane, the right calculation and placing of the eye, it was pure Genius. Inside her own Private Chambers, Princess luna was at awe when she saw the double rainboom, but her jaw dropped when she saw what happened next, "A Golden Trail.... wow!" gaspped luna. "they we're right when they said that the gold was at the end of the rainbow" said luna with a smile. everypony was shocked, but not because they saw a double rainboom or the golden trail but because some pony was faster than rainbow dash, most of equestria knew that Rainbow dash was the fastest pony around, even the princesses knew little of what Golden flash can do or what his true capabilites was. "Try to keep up Rainbow Crash.........hahaha" said a small filly's voice "HEY! it's DASH!! not CRASH!!" "you dont need to tell me twice! try not to crash instead so that i won't call you that!" said the filly's voice FLASH?!? FLASH!! "FLASH!?! HELP!! PLEASE DONT DIE! HEEEEEEELP! SOME PONY HELP!!" "That was amazing FLASH!! you never did that before!!" said soarin. "So you have these kinds of tricks hidden huh flash?, but this was supposed to be Rainbow Dash's Audition/Recruitment! did you have to outshine her like that?" said spitfire with a sigh. "well....i just wanted to show that mare that.....that..... ughh!, my head stung a little! ouch" said golden flash while holding his head. "You ok there flash? is it hurting again? wanna go to nurse redheart?" said soarin with a worried look on his face. "nah i'm good..i'm good..."said golden flash "everytime i think something about rainbow dash or the past my head hurts like crazy! dang it.." thought golden flash. "RD GIT YOUR FLANK OVER HIR!!" screamed Applejack. Golden Flash quickly turned around and saw a depressed rainbow dash slowly flying away... "calm down dear, it must be hard on rainbow dash knowing all this time that she was the fastest in equestria, this sudden realization that there was somepony faster than her must have hit her hard." said rarity "But this was supposedly her time to shine, some! pony should have been more considerate of a mare's! feelings before showing of like a horse on a mule!! and another thing...." grumbled Applejack but before applejack could continue her sudden fit of rage she was sweeped with a sudden gust of wind behind her. "What the hay?" said applejack. "well even though he's no gentlecolt, he sure is not oblivious to a mare's feelings" said rarity. "yup! even if he might look or act like a jerk, he has his own way of things." added soarin. "YO! Rainbow Dash! Where you going?" screamed Golden Flash. "....go away, i'm no wonderbolt material i ate what i said earlier..." said rainbow dash head hung low flying slowly "c'mon RD! your not like that?! giving up so easily" said Golden Flash "SAY WHAT?! do you even know me?! HUH?!" screamed rainbow "I..........I......ughhh......it's just that......ouch......." "Hey! you ok there Flyboy? you...." before rainbow dash could finish her sentence, golden flash suddenly stopped flying and fell. Quickly Rainbow Dash Chased the falling Golden Flash! "FLYBOY! FLYBOY! HEY!! OPEN YOUR FREAKING EYES!! WHAT"S WRONG" screamed rainbow dash, with the sudden turn of events she could'nt catch up to the quick falling of golden flash. "Rainbow dash....rainbow dash.... every time i hear her name, my head hurts, who is she anyway? who....." "yo...." "Hmmmmm....." "......yo flash......." "hmmmm...ughhh" "YO FLASH!! Your FLY IS OPEN!" "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!" golden flashs' eye's popped open! he was in bed in a small room. "where the hay am i? soarin? where am i?" said a confused golden flash "you're in the hospital you silly colt! you passed out while talking to Rainbow" said soarin "did i now?" said golden flash with a blank look on his face. "is he awake now?" said a familiar voice behind the door of the room "yep, 'Flyboy' is awake now! hehehehe" said soarin, "come on in.." "hey flyboy, i mean! golden flash.... sorry bout earlier i was just depressed and all didnt meant to break out on you" said rainbow dash with her head hung low and apologetic. "nah! it's ok, it was my own fault" said golden flash with a weak smile. "better leave you two alone" said soarin "WHAT!? i'm going too, i just checked up on him" said rainbow dash with a slight blush on her cheeks. "nope! you aint going nowhere missy! you need to talk to your "Judge" if you passed or not" added soarin with a grin "judge?? who?.. him? for what?" said a puzzled rainbow dash "what? did you forget bout the audition/recruitment for the wonderbolts?" said soarin tilting his head "yeah dash i will give you my decision" said golden flash "there you have it, gotta go! some apple pies are waiting for me outside" said soarin, and with a wink to golden flash, he was gone. with a sigh rainbow dash came closer to golden flash and sat next to his bed. "so.. judge? how'd i do" said sarcastically by rainbow dash "let me see here..." as golden flash somehow took out a clip board and glasses. "speed... check" "coordination...check" "attitude...nope" "temper...nope" "well it seems here we have a tie on the stats" said golden flash raising an eyebrow "what the hay? what kind of scoring is that" said rainbow "well you did'nt pass for a crash dummy, but for a wonderbolt well, look outside" said golden flash "what do you mean?" said rainbow dash, then she flew a little and looked outside and saw her friends where out there with a big banner saying "CONGRATULATIONS RAINBOW DASH!!" "What the hay is going ON HERE!!" said rainbow dash with a smile even though looking confused. "well it seems that you where outside my room the whole time i was in this bed and didnt bother to go outside" said golden flash "well! yeah!! i don't leave anypony hanging even if they are jerks!" said rainbow dash with a grin "i know rainbow 'crash'.. i know..." thought golden flash but why he said that made his head hurt again all he said was "You pass the test RD go to your friends Spitfire will brief you on your next test when you meet her outside" "omygoshomygoshomygosh... I CANT BELIEVE IT!!" said rainbow dash "better believe it, now go, your friends are all waiting for you" said golden flash "you don't need to tell me twice!" said rainbow dash and with a wink "whaaa...that's was...." said golden flash but before he could finish his sentence, rainbow dash flew from the opened window and went to her friends... To be Continued Step 1: Proper Calculation try to keep up RD! no fair! you got a head start! did i now? the golden manned filly suddenly stopped. why'd you stop? the rainbow manned filly said. let's see how much you've improved since the young fliers camp hah! i'll let you know that i've been practicing with gilda ever since! you meant slow-da? hehehe, anyways! let's start race from here to that small mountain near everfree, remember that place? said the golden manned filly you got it! just don't go near that old tree, they're fixing it to be some kind of cottage said the rainbow manned filly flash!? flash?! open your eyes please! it's all my fault!! flash please! be ok!! i shoud have been paying attention SOME PONY HELP!! screamed the rainblow manned filly (dont cry) "it's not you fault..." (Please....don't cry) "it's never your fault..." (Rainbow.....) "i have to be perfect, calculate everything..." (dash.....) "Golden Flash!!" "whoa!! who?! what?! when?! where?!" "get your sorry flank over here!!" "yeah yeah!! you don't need to tell me twice!" said Golden Flash, and with that he flew from his quarters to the meeting room.. "what took you so long flash? had a bad dream? hehehe" said soarin "kinda?" said golden flash while looking half asleep, ever since the audition/recruitment 3 days ago, golden flash has been having strange dreams with a rainbow manned filly and his own every single night. golden flash being a said prodigy thought that it was from his childhood and was not sure if the filly in his dream was him and rainbow dash, before golden flash could finish his train of thought Spitfire slammed her hoof. "now listen closely both of you!" said spitfire with an authorative voice. "the first test finished in a way..." "we can clearly see that rainbow is wonderbolt material, she has her flaws, but a little practice and team coordination will fix that." said spitfire while studying rainbow dash's stats in a small black board. "soarin, what do you think? you our lead trickster/performer, think he'll be able to follow our tricks?" "hmmm, as far as im concerned, she'll be able to pull it off with proper training" said soarin with a contented look "i see, so you'll be the next one to test her, ok soarin?" said spitfire "i told her to meet us at the open field near everfree forest at 2pm and it's 10:52am, she has some more time to prepare" "flash, fetch her now and breif her,we'll meet you there at 2" "roger, see you guys there" said golden flash, and with that golden flash flew, heading to cloudsdalle "omygoshomygoshomygoshomygosh, it's already 11!! ok! keept it cool dash! you got this! you already passed the 1st test" said rainbow dash while trotting back and fort in her room. "knock! knock!" "RD! you in there? got some news for you" said a familiar voice outside her door. "who's there? Golden Flash? that you?" said rainbow dash quizically "yeah it's me! c'mon out i've got some news for you regarding the second test" said golden flash "coming.." said rainbow dash trotting to the door and opened it, inviting Golden flash inside her house but he refused by raising a hoof. "what's up Flash? feelin' better now? what kind of news you got for me? what kind of test is it this time? is spitfire the next judge?" said an eager rainbow dash. "whoa whoa! slow down there RD! first we need to get to the spot near everfree forest, i'll tell you on the way..." said golden flash. and with that, both of them flew from cloudsdale to the spot near everfree forest. At the meeting place "heh, i love this place... some crazy memories here" said rainbow dash "oh really? like what?" said golden flash "well...this was the place where we had our picnic me and the girls, that was one CRAZY picnic, a lot of crazy stuff happened" said rainbow dash "well now, what kind of crazy stuff?" said golden flash with a grin on his face. "well for one, twilight when coocoo with her problem being not being able to send a friendship report to princess celestia" said rainbow dash "and rarity bringing a sofa, that drama queen! haha.. but the one that bites the dust was the people of ponyville was fighting for a smartypants doll, "twilight's smarty pants doll" to be exact"said rainbow dash "hahaha, that is crazy but why and how?" said golden flash "well twilight said that if she can't find a problem to solve, so she made a problem to solve, well it back fired and the princess came to save the day and etc etc.. kinda long mushy story" said rainbow dash. "blehh, dont like much mushy stories" said golden flash "you and me both flyboy" said rainbow dash with a grin "STOP calling me that! anyways we have like 2 more hours before they get here, ill give you some tips or rather a heads up about soarin" said golden flash "as you know we have lots of tricks and stuff, soarin is the leader on that, he may look like a goof, but he's the best when it comes to group performance" said golden flash. "I see, so you guys have different kinds of rolls huh?" said rainbow dash "well kind of, spitfire and soarin are kinda special, can't say much why though but they have direct contact with the princesses and stuff" said golden flash "anyways you just need to remember one thing..." "We Fly as One.." "We Soar as One.." "We Perform as One.." "We Are One.." "whoa.... isn't that the wonderbolt Golden Rule" said rainbow dash "yup.. we fly as if we are one pony" "speed, coordination, direction and the flawless finish that every pony in equestria love, we do it together so it's not just about speed and tricks, unity is what you need to be a wonderbolt...Got that?" said golden flash with a grin his face. "gotcha! so teach me already!" said an eager rainbow dash "alrighty, now pay attention..." said golden flash, and with that golden flash explained every single trick in the book that they perform from the simple ones to the grand things like the one from the Grand Galloping Gala. Rainbow dash got confused from time to time but she kept an eager face and was seemingly enjoying her time with Golden flash and so was golden flash they we're both engrossed in talking to each other that they did not notice that they we're so close together almost nuzzling each other infact. "so you got the jist of things RD?" said golden flash "yeah, i got most of them but the rest i can deal with.." said rainbow dash "well that's good, with you around i need to calculate more properly now..." said golden flash "calculate? whaddya mean?" said rainbow dash face to face with golden flash "you know i mean.. so that you don't get hurt or anything... just like......" golden flash stopped mid sentence and his mind went blank, it was like his mind is trying to say something. "be carefull dash" said a young fillies voice "I got this dont worry flash! you won remember? so i'm gonna try to fly! and reach that farthest branch!" the young filly was trying to reach the toppest branch atop a seemingly large tree, "dont over exert yourself dash! you still can't fly properl like me!" "ZIP it flash! i can do this...just...a little...more...whoa whoa whoa" when the rainbow manned filly was about to touch the top of the tree, her wings suddenly crammped due to it still being too young to fly. just when the filly was about to fall she was caught by the golden manned filly. "I...told...you...not...to...over..exert..yourself...hnnng.." "thanks flash! but can you carry us both...flash?..whoa..whoa...ahhhhhhhhh!!!" they both fell from a midair, just when they where about to fall the golden manned filly rolled mid air to cushon the fall of the rainbow manned filly "THUMP!" "ow ow ow... you ok there flash? thanks....flash?...flash?! you ok there?" apperantly the golden manned filly's head hit a small stone, there was blood coming out of the golden manned filly's head. but even still he was able to half way open his eyes and said "you ok dash?" "Flash? yeah im fine thanks to you but! what about you?! is...is..is that blood?? omygoshomygosh! IM so sorry flash!!!" "it's not your fault RD i was the one who told you to reach that high, hehe , i'd never thought you'd do it though...ughhh..." "shhhh..save your energy you block head, im gonna go get help...flash? flash? buddy?" tears was comming out of the eyes of the rainbow manned filly, as she was holding onto her getting cold friend. "flash?! flash?!!! wake up please?!" "HELP!!! somepony help!!!!" "it's all my fault!!" cried the rainbow manned filly "it's not your fault dash..." "never...." "i should have calculated properly on the fall" said the golden manned filly but was heard with deaf ears due to the other filly crying for help.. "Flash?......" "you Flash!!....." "Equestria to flash!! YO!" "Tsup" "huh? what?" golden flash snapped back to reality, he remembered but what the hay happend NEXT!!!, thought golden flash ".....you ok there flash?" said rainbow dash with a blush on her face "yeah... im good RD, why's your face red?" said golden flash "wha?...you mean...ughhhh!" "nothing!!!" gumbled rainbow dash. "we have a few more minutes right? im gonna go to fluttershy for a sec; see yah in a bit!" said rainbow dash "what the heck just happend?" said golden flash To Be Continued Step 2: Sonic Rainboom Knock Knock "Fluttershy are you home?" said rainbow dash "......." "huh, guess she's not home...oh man, now what do i do?" after what happened with golden flash earlier, rainbow dash doesn't know what to do with what she is feeling right now, it's like she's forgeting something too, more like someone, she tries to remember but to no avail, all she could remember about her past was the time with gilda, training and Jr. Speedsters, but when it comes to golden flash, it seems like she is forgeting something important that she needs to remember. "*sigh* what am i going to do?... i really need to talk to someone right now." said rainbow dash "rainbow dash? is that you?" said a familiar voice coming from the chicken house. "Fluttershy? boy! i sure am glad to see you! i really need someone to talk to right now.." "ohh my..it seems important cmon, let's get inside and talk about it.." "thanks fluttershy..." Back at the meeting place golden flash was just listening to his music and cloud watching while waiting for rainbow dash and the rest of the wonderbolts, he tried to recollect his thoughts due to the sudden realization of his childhood and about rainbow dash, and what the hay happened to RD and she suddenly flew off like that. she's a nice mare and all, well she IS a nice mare, a hot one at that, i mean "that" plot! and she has this tomboyish aura around her and that's kinda my thing and all but she also has this other side to herself that she hasn't showed it to anyone else...yet. Thinking that golden flash started to blush. "man...i'm broken, just thinking about her makes me all tinggly! is this what spitfire and soarin feel for each other?" mumbled golden flash while rocking left and right on the grass like a little school filly. "what's that about us flash?" said spitfire with a grin. "yeah, what's that all about? you getting in close with RD huh? you lover Stallion! hehehe" said soarin "huh?! spitfire? soarin?" when did you guys get here?" said golden flash with a sheepish smile and a blush on his face. "just in time to see you actin' like a little school filly" said Spitfire "so..where's RD Flash?" "RD? oh yeah! dang it! is it time already?" said Golden flash "i'll go get her" "*sigh* just go fetch her, we'll be waiting here, where did she go anyway?" said spitfire. "uhhhhhh, ummmm, you see..." before spitfire could raise an eyebrow she heard the mare's voice "sorry i'm late! just talked to a friend of mine and asked for advice.." said rainbow dash. "advice huh? wasn't golden flash here for that?" said spitfire raising an eyebrow. "nononono i got lot's of advice from golden flash, it's kinda like a diff..." before rainbow dash could finish her sentence she was cut off with a raise of the hoof from spitfire. "no need to tell us dash, i understand" said spitfire "thanks spitfire" said rainbow dash "so, you ready for your second test rainbow dash?" said soarin "i'm guessing golden flash gave you a brieffing on todays test?" said soarin "yup! and he also gave me some advice or rather a heads up" said rainbow "well then that's good, i haven't actually introduced myself properly.. ahem! the name's Soaring Cloud! Wonderbolts Performance Specialist, i'm incharge of all the tricks and performances we do on every single event may it be small or grand, if the princess calls we follow! nice to meet yah, oh! and you can just call me soarin' for short!". "got it! i'll keep that in mind soarin" said rainbow dash "i haven't introduced myself too actually, zup dash my name is Spitfire Blaze - Cloud, i am the leader of this little group of misfits, i'm actually the 22nd leader of the Wonderbolts group, i got promoted to being the leader around when you where just a little filly, if you ever pass the tests that we give you and become a wonderbolt, you will be following my every order. even if soarin here is the Performance specialist, i'm the one that organizes and perfects the performance, and keeps the group together. You can just call me spitfire by the way or which ever you feel like it." "ok got it! wait...Blaze - Cloud? does that mean?" said rainbow dash with a quizzical look on her face. "hehe, yeah me and soarin are engaged actually.. it's a long story dash.." said spitfire with a blush on her face. "and you already know me dash" said golden flash "yeah yeah flyboy, hehe" said rainbow dash while giggling "stop calling me that!" said an irate golden flash "now that the formalities is done, let's get to your next test! Performance and style! as a wonderbolt you are entitled to be the best of equestria, we fly as one pony and do it with both grace and awe!" said soarin "right! fly as one, perform as one!" said rainbow dash "that's right! you got the words and spirit out! now let's see you perform it! i made this trick with Flash back in the days! now lets see you do it, it's called "RainbowThunder!"" the trick here is we make a thundercloud trail in a circle and finish it with a sonic rainboom in the middle of that circular thundercloud trail, got it?" said soarin. "i got the jist of it!" said rainbow dash "well that's all well and good, c'mere dash i have a more detailed explanation here, and how to use our signature thundercloud trail.." said spitfire "now are we ready dash?" said spitfire "you got it! let's do this soarin!" said rainbow "now that's what i wanted to hear! in 3" "2" "1" "Let's FLY!!" said Soarin aloud! and with that, both soarin and rainbow dash flew upwards with the signature wonderbolt thundercloud trail, rainbow dash followed every single instruction soarin gave, they started off in a circullar trail to a loop d loop and then finally. "ok dash! one more circle and then break free and remove your trail!!" instructed soarin. "got it!!" "in 3, 2, 1....now!!" screamed soarin rainbow dash did as instructed and headed upwards and made a U turn and picked up speed into a sonic rainboom piercing the circular thunder cloud, and with a large boom the trick was made a combination of the rainboom and thunder strikes following the trail of rainbow was spectacular, Trully a trick to be awed! "NICE! now that is what we call a "RainbowThunder" pretty well done!" said spitfire "yeah, i must agree, it's like me up there with soarin" said golden flash "yeah, it's like you and rainbow dash are one and the same, hehe" said spitfire with a grin on her face. after a few moments in the air soarin and rainbow dash landed near spitfire and golden flash. "that.was.awesome! i've never thought of that trick!" said rainbow dash "cool right? you did pretty well for your first time rainbow i must say, now for your judgement" said soarin "ahem! your coordination is good, you listen to every intruction i've said and with some more proper training i don't even need to shout a command. So my decision is.." said soarin "pause for dramatic effect?" said rainbow dash "yeep... you pass! congrats RD!" said soarin "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! yay!!" screamed rainbow dash "congrats rainbow, sorry if your friends aren't here to celebrate it with you, it's just this tricks are classified, you know for publicity issues and stuff" said spitfire "totally, it's ok! we can celebrate later when i become a true wonderbolt!" said rainbow dash "good job RD.." said golden flash "thanks flash, about ummm earlier sorry if i left you suddenly.." said an apologetic rainbow dash "nah..it's ok RD, you have your reasons and besides it's like we did something anyway" said golden flash "hehe, yeah..about that kiss" whispered rainbow dash with a blush on her face "kiss? what kiss?" said Golden Flash "what?! you don't remember? you mean!" "well, kinda, yeah! i blanked out remember? and the last time i came to was you telling me you gotta go to your friend's place" said golden flash "yeah!! but but... ughhh never mind! i gotta go rest up now!" said an irrate rainbow dash "whoa whoa, what did i do this time?" said golden flash "nothing!" said rainbow dash, and before golden flash could talk rainbow dash was gone. "now what did you do this time flash?" said soarin "nothing!" said golden flash "well that's it, you did nothing don't you see flash? from the looks in rainbows' eyes she sorta like you?" said spitfire "your never gonna make a marefriend like that dude," said soarin with a sheepish smile on his face while looking at spitfire "you have to feel it flash the way she looks at you, whispering at you dont you get it?" said spitfire "i...i... for once i think i need to be told twice... damn it" said golden flash with a sad look on his face To Be Continued Final Step: Golden Light Somepony! Anypony! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp! screamed rainbow dash I'm doomed! doomed i tell you!! ..... how can it be worse? now i'm stuck with the most boring creature in equestria! Atop a cloud near ponyville, golden flash was gathering his thoughts about rainbow dash and what happend yesterday in rainbow dash's 2nd test, him not noticing rainbow dashs' feeling for him. " *sigh* RD....how can i be so stupid and not know your feelings, i know your not into cutsey and wootsey but i'll be damned if i don't try" said golden flash "Somepony! Anypony! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!" "RD?!" said golden flash in a worried and surpriced look. Golden flash quickly got off the cloud and started searching for the source of the sound, its was clearly the voice of rainbow dash, and from the sound of it she was in serious trouble. "where yah headed to fla.... whoa!!" before soarin could finish his sentence, golden flash dashed passed him without a single hi or yo. "why in celestia's sake is that guy in a hurry?" said soarin "Cmon RD!! where are you?! damn it!! i wanted to prevent this and now... damn it all!!" screamed Golden flash I'm doomed! doomed i tell you!! "there!! it's coming from Ghastly Gourge!" Golden Flash flew from the entrance of the gourge and scanned every area, from the thorny paths to the Eels... "Damn it!! RD where are you??" said golden flash with a worried and irrate look on his face he then saw an avalance near the end of the gourge and quickly flew there and saw rainbow dash's wing stuck in a huge boulder and saw a little turtle (turtoise) trying hard to lift the boulder. "RD!!!" screamed golden flash "flash?! flash is that you?!" cried rainbow dash "oh thank celestia and luna your safe!!" cried golden flash hugging her "you got me so worried you dumbskull!!" said golden flash while hugging rainbow dash and crying rainbow dash couldnt say a thing she was speechless, the fact that she was stuck in a huge boulder in ghastly gourge and the thought of being stuck there forever alone, never able to see her friends and him again, she started to tear up but the sudden realization of this and the poor turtoise trying to lift the huge boulder to help her out, she pushed golden flash away from the hug and said. "save the romance for later lover boy and help the poor guy out will yah?" "wha? oh yeah! sorry bout that hehe, was caught in the...ahem!..um..moment...hehe" said golden flash with a blush. with the help of golden flash, they both lifted the boulder freeing the wing of rainbow dash, golden flash quickly flew for a couple of seconds and came back with a first aid kit, luckily soarin and spitfire was close by with a shopping bag full of medical supplies,groceries and pies for wonderbolts stocks. After golden flash saw them he quickly told them the situation and they gladly helped in the situation patching up rainbow dash, but they had go there seperate ways later on, for they need to go to a check up for something important. "so what in equestria's sake are you doing down here RD?!" said golden flash "well you see..i was looking for a pet because all of my friends have one and they have this little get together today with there pet and play with them, and they do this once a week and.....wait? why am i explaining this to you?" said rainbow dash "i dunno, maybe because i kinda helped you a little earlier? you know how worried sick i was?! atleast a little more explanation would suffice." said golden flash "yeah... about that..thanks....but still!, it doesnt mean i have'nt forgotten what you did yesterday!" said rainbow dash with an irrate look on his face. "i know..i know...and i'm sorry, i should have been more understanding with your feelings, will you ever forgive me?" said golden flash "i dunno...lemme think about it"said rainbow dash while rubbing her chin before rainbow dash could think of something she suddenly realized about the race and quickly stood up and explained everything to golden flash. After rainbow dash told everything about the race and about the turtle being too persistent, golden flash then got an idea, he put the injured rainbow dash atop the turtle, gave her his Wonderbolt I.D. and told them that atleast they would finish together and that would make the turtle happy because he told her that even the smallest off things can make anypony and in this case any turtle (turtoise) happy as long as there are feelings in it. After that he waved them both goodbye and told rainbow dash that he has a surprice for her after the race. Wonderbolt HQ "I'm gonna wait for you over here dashie cuz i can't walk on clouds and that will make me fall and go BOOM! like in the catoons we used to watch when we were just little fillies cuz that what little fillies do watch cartoons and eat popcorn but we don't have popcorn cuz we live in a rock farm and ponyville was to far from my old house and my oold house doesnt grow corn so we dont have popcorn but we do have rocks and i cant walk in clouds cuz im an earth pony and gummy is an alligator and tank is a turtle or was it a turtoise anyways we'll wait here like a good little filly and wait for your return, ok?" said pinkie pie while making tank a hat and gummy biting on pinkies' face. "uhhh......yeah, thanks again for the ride pinkie, be back in a sec." said rainbow dash "Okie dokie lokie!" said a bouncing pinkie pie with that said rainbow dash entered the huge gate of Wonderbolts HQ having already access with golden flash's I.D. she entered the halls of her future quarters. "OH.MY.GOSH......flash? you here?" said rainbow dash "over here RD!" shouted golden flash "where are you man?" "take a left then right! im at my room!" shouted golden flash again with that rainbow dash was infront of golden flash's room, she was relactant at first but after clearing her throat she entered "his" room. Feeling a little nervous it was her first time in a stallions' room, golden flash had a huge room, it was like a whole house rather than just a room, it had a living room and a staircase to the 2nd floor more likely his bedroom. "i'll be down in a few seconds! make yourself at home! it's a bit messy sorry bout that" shouted golden flash from his bedroom. "sooooo.. watcha want from me flash?" asked rainbow dash "well now that you have this pet of yours and im guessing its the turtle right?" shouted golden flash "Turtoise!" screamed rainbow dash "Whatever!" "And his name is Tank by the way" added rainbow "i see, well seeing that i "AM" a prodigy and all, i have a little gift for the guy, so that you can take him with you in clouds dale." said golden flash "pffft..Show off.." whispered rainbow dash while sitting on the couche and looking around, it was clearly a stallions' room, there was a huge poster of the wonderbolts near the 36' inch Flat screen TV with a PX3 attached to the TV, there was pizza's in the table near the fridge, magazines all over the place and a trophy case with lots of trophies and ribbons in them, but within those medals and trophies was two familiar looking trophy from when they we're little actually, it was the Young Fliers Trophy and the Jr. Speedsters Fastest Speedster Award. "hehe, well he can't boast about the young fliers trophy to me, but Jr. Speedsters? hmmmm..." thought rainbow dash "OH.MY.GOSH...... I.....remember..." the sudden realization of rainbow dash of what happened when they were young, that she was too stubborn to listen, how Golden Flash saved her from falling, how he bleeded, how he got hurt badly and how he got comatoused. She remembered being too depressed that she wanted to forget about everything and how her body and mind gave out due to the guilt of it all. so that's why he's so protective of me...it's all my fault...." said rainbow dash rainbow dash's eyes was watering she was about to cry, she was so ashamed of herself for not remembering and did not even bother to apologize from before, and when she heard the hoofsteps of golden flash she dashed out of her room through the gate and to pinkie pie's air balloon. "let's get out of her pinkie, Quick!!" said rainbow dash with tears oon her eyes "what's wrong dashie?" asked a worried look on pinkies' face "don't ask, just please!" pleaded rainbow dash And with that, they where gone. "TADA!! my invention for your tank! it'll let him fly! and he won't keep you groun.....ded....RD?....RD?....where you at rainbow?" To Be Continued
The Golden Flash"SOARIN'!", a loud and irretated sound was heard in the hallways of wonderbolts HQ, "Soarin'!!!", again it came, now from the HQ Lounge only to be ignored. "OH FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE!! , SOARING CLOUD YOU BETTER GET YOUR FLANK OVER HERE OR SO HELP ME LUNA YOU WILL BE SORRY NOT LISTENING TO ME!!", and within seconds a blue manned pegasus stallion covered with pie in his mouth is standing in front of the 2 awaiting Pegasus. "ummm sorry for that guys i was having a light snack, ehehehe..." said soarin' with a sheepish smile, a slight blush and a face still covered with pie. "hahaha!! jeez soarin' when spitfire mentions your full name it really means something huh?!" said a golden manned pegasus stallion sitting on the floor with a pair of earphones on and a wonderbolt goggles dangling in his neck. Next to him was an irate spitfire ready to burst out a world of pain to the late soarin', if it were any other day it would be okay, but today was an important day, the day that they pay a visit to princess celestia and princess luna in canterlot, due to the request of princess celestia that one of the Elements of harmony join them as a member of the wonderbolts. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS SOARIN, DO YOU?!" said the agitated spitfire "We had a personal request from the princess! And as part of her personal fliers the BEST in Equestria!, we need to comply! if it's any other day it would be ok to be late, we've known each other for too long and you know i don't like leaving people hanging, especially the princess" and with a sigh "today is something special, an Element of Harmony, a mare with a dream and talent wants to become a wonderbolt, weren’t we the same before?" said spitfire holding onto her uniform "did you forget?" added spitfire with a frown. "Sorry spitfire i-i-i was just hungry and you know me, it's just... sorry" said soarin' looking down and wiping his face clearing off some pie left in his muzzle. With a huge sigh spitfire got near soarin and flicked a small pie crumb in the top of soarin's nose and nuzzled him, "It's ok, never mind the past, i know you more than anyone" said spitfire "Now cmon' we still have like 30 mins. till the "audition" she added. in the corner of the meeting room after laughing his flank from the lecturing soarin had from spitfire, sat a golden manned stallion Pegasus, his name, Golden Flash, as his name states his cutie mark is of a flash much like in cartoons when a flash from a camera is being shown. They say a sonic rainboom was just a legend, but of course it wasn't made a legend or even a story if no one ever saw it or even had an idea of it, in golden flash's state a sonic rainboom isn't supposed to be possible for any pony but himself, and for this young pony it's just step 2 of his best 3 trick flash, the final step being the "golden light" but that step will be saved to show it to the so called Element of Harmony named "Rainbow Dash". That name, in the far reaches of golden flashes mind the name "Rainbow dash" somehow pinched, it's like he's forgetting something, something important, if not important something he really needs to prove, something, every time he hears that name. "YO FLASH! Let's MOVE!!" screamed spitfire, "yeah, yeah you don’t need to tell me twice~" and with that the 3 wonderbolts readied themselves and with a few seconds they flew out of the HQ with their signature thunder cloud trail heading for canterlot, where a nervous rainbow dash awaits her audition to become a member of her lifelong dream team the "Wonderbolts" but there is more to this audition/recruitment than meets the eye. At the Castle yard in canterlot a nervous talented young mare awaits her Idols, ever since this morning or even last night she couldn’t keep her excitement to herself, when she finally got the letter from princess celestia on congratulating her and inviting her for a chance to be one of the wonderbolts, the young mare couldn’t sleep, eat or even standstill, even after this she readied her mind and thought off all the tricks she practiced over the years and to finally let the wonderbolts see her hard work and preservation. "u-um...R-r-rainbow dash...?' said a soft familiar voice. "Huh?" Said rainbow dash, snapping back to reality "Who..?, oh! hey Fluttershy what's up?" "ummmmm, Are y-y-ou ok?" said fluttershy in her somehow normal soft small voice. "Y-y-yeah i'm-i'm alright, WHY would'nt i be?, as a matter of fact im in my TOP GAME! im ready to show my best of the best tricks to impress the WONDERBOLTS!" said rainbow dash. "W-w-well..you just seem..um..." muttered fluttershy, "seem what?" answered rainbow dash "Ummm...nevermind.." again muttered fluttershy. "SPILL IT fluttershy, what have i told you about asserting yourself?" said rainbow. "eeeepp... we-we-well its just...you you...just look...um....nervous?" said fluttershy, "Nervous? hah! m-m-m-me? n-n-n-nervous? h-h-h-how?", then fluttershy pointed at a half fainted spike, it was rare to see rainbow dash making physical contact with any pony including spike but, when spike told rainbow dash that his idols where coming in less than 15 mins. She suddenly grab hold of the dragon and blanked out. after fluttershy pointed at what rainbow dash was doing she quickly let go of the poor baby dragon and gave out a sheepish smile and apologized, "ehehehe, sorry bout that spike" said rainbow dash, on the floor lay the baby dragon "is taht youuuuuuuu mommy?" said spike with a dizzy face and clearly still feeling faint from his encounter with a ursa minor hug from a nervous rainbow dash, "I~~~~~~ need to go to the washroom! Be back in a sec.!" said rainbow dash And before fluttershy could even say a word rainbow dash was gone. seconds later the huge door opened and came out princess celestia with the rest of the elements of harmony only to see fluttershy caring for a half awake spike, "SPIKE?! What happened?!" screamed Twilight, "Oh the poor dear, what happened? and where is rainbow dash?" said Rarity, "W-w-w-well you see..." said Fluttershy, and she told what the others what happened to spike and where rainbow dash went. ”weeeell, she sure aint fine and dandy ahfter wut she did to poor ol' spike hir', think we shud go follow?" said applejack, "She just needs a little time to herself, let her be" said princess celestia, "the princess is right, she needs to collect her thoughts and face this challenge in front of her, this is her lifelong dream girls, i know raindow won’t back out" said twilight, In the Washroom, rainbow dash was staring into a big mirror with her reflection. "cmon! cmon! This what you've been practicing your whole life! The whole reason for this cutie mark even! This day! I will be a WONDERBOLT! I’m sure of it!! And with the sonic rainboom in my arsenal! I’m sure they'll be impressed!" said rainbow dash, And with a last splash of water in her face! She was determined and dashed off the washroom and onto the open courtyard. "Back in ten seconds flat!" said rainbow dash, upon arriving there she saw her friends, princess celestia and her Idols, the WONDERBOLTS looking at her, and then suddenly pinkie pie bursted laughing, "bwuahahahaha, did you flush before you went out rainbow dash?" said the laughing pinkie pie, "what? What are you laughing at pinkie?" said the blushing rainbow dash, and then pinkie pointed to the trail of toilet paper rainbow dash has on her back hoof, "omigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh, ehehehehe sorry about that" said rainbow dash while trying to kick off the toilet paper, and after a few kicks it got off. "This joke is here for the audition?" said a golden manned Pegasus stallion "1st she had us to wait for 11 secs. Then she shows up with toilet paper in her hooves? what.a.joke." he added taking his goggles off and putting his headphones on, "you wasted my time for this? ugh", he added "Well aren’t yah rude fer someone to be in the best in equestria" said applejack, stomping her hoof in the ground in front of golden flash, then in a flash, rainbow dash was in front of golden flash, "Are saying I’m a liar? Flyboy?" said rainbow dash face to face with golden flash, "flyboy? What? And yes you got here in 11.16 seconds actually" said golden flash, "oh yeah? How could you say or even tell that huh? Do you have a stop watch or something? and Flyboy is because your zipper is open flyboy!" said rainbow dash, and then golden flash looked at his bottom zipper, blushed and closed it quickly, while he saw the others smiling and giggling "So flyboy? Can you prove it? Huh?" said rainbow dash with a grin. An agitated golden flash sighed and then gave rainbow dash a stare that would make twilight's professor in magic some notes to take on starring, "by the judge on the sound you made when you left the washroom i counted or "timed" the sound from the washroom to the kitchen to the lounge through here and my conclusion is 11.16 seconds" said the proud looking golden flash, before rainbow dash could even say something spitfire butted in. "ENOUGH! sorry for golden flash's attitude rainbow, but the kid is right, i know it’s hard to believe but, he's not called a prodigy for nothing, even the princess knows this" said spitfire and looked at princess celestia, the princess looked back and gave a sigh and a nod, "She is right rainbow dash, golden flash is indeed a prodigy and he is a stop watch if you may call it that, but i still do not approve of this attitude mister flash" said princess celestia looking at golden flash with a stare making golden flash look down in embarrassment, “i apologize princess for my attitude" said golden flash, "now if you may take the lead spitfire? let the audition begin" said princess celestia, "with pleasure princess, now rainbow dash show as what you can do..." said spitfire looking at rainbow dash with a smile, with this rainbow dash gave a salute and flew upwards, following her was golden flash. "What do you want flyboy?" said rainbow dash "DONT CALL ME THAT! But that aside, I’m here for your first test" said golden flash, rainbow dash tilted her head and said "what test? Spitfire said to show you guys what I’ve got, so sit back and watch the show", "you don’t get it do you?" said golden flash, "that also goes for me, to become a wonderbolt you have to best a wonderbolt or be as good as one, or else you won't keep up with the team, and i volunteered to be your "partner" so show "ME" what you got rainbow dash!" said golden flash and with that rainbow dash nodded and said "then be sure to catch up when i do my sonic rainboom" saying that rainbow dash flew and made a right turn and flew so fast. Behind her was golden flash, "HAH! Have you ever wondered why that name became popular or even became a legend? Haven’t you ever thought of the person who did it first and gave those old ponies the stories they tell you now?" said golden flash Rainbow dash was picking up speed and golden flash was trailing behind her getting closer and closer, they we're about to break the sound barrier, then rainbow dash said "No way!! I’m the fastest flier around! He can follow me? Can he do the rainboom too?" TO BE CONTINUED!
Remembering You Hurts "What the Hay!!!" said rainbow dash in her mind "someone as fast as me? maybe even....." before rainbow dash could finish that train of thought Golden Flash was right next to him. "i must commend you on being this fast, heck your Almost as fast as me!" said Golden Flash with a Grin on his face. "HEY! FLYBOY! we're at the same speed your not faster than me, let's see you keep up!" with that last sentence said, rainbow dash Picked up speed and so was Golden Flash they both are going to break the sound barrier in a few more seconds. "WOWIE ZOWIE!! look at those two GO!!" said Pinkie Pie while holding a Banner saying (GO RAINBOW DASH!) "By my Gran papi's Hat, i never thought i'd see the day wer some pony can match RD, Wehll "that" some pony is from the Wonderbolts! guess they do live up to their name!" said Applejack. "they're amazing! we'll get to see a double rainboom! that's not even in any speed record boo....." "BOOOOOOOM!!!" before twilight could even finish her sentence the two already achieved the Double Rainboom, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" all was in awe of the sonic rainboom, but something seems wrong, one line of the double rainbow is moving more forward and is heading upward to the direction of the sun. "This CANT BE!!!" Thought Aloud by rainbow dash with widening eyes "we both achieved the rainboom... BUT he's still gaining speed!! IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE! i'm wayyyyy more Lighter Than Him! is that even possible!? it does'nt add up! and what is he trying to do??" Golden Flash was going faster and faster heading up to where he calculated and that the ponies below are looking at him going near the sun, well not exactly the sun itself but just the naked eye view of the sun. "Now for the final step.. focus your speed!" said golden flash in his mind. for a split second he stopped then did a quick "L turn" from the naked eyes view of everypony pony below form the sun and did a sonic rainboom again, due to the sun's light, golden flash's mane and the rainboom, the trail he left was not a rainbow any more but yet a Golden trail... Every ponies eyes widened and mouth agape, INCLUDING the princess, she knew a rainboom is achievable with pure speed, but combining the sun's light, a ponies mane, the right calculation and placing of the eye, it was pure Genius. Inside her own Private Chambers, Princess luna was at awe when she saw the double rainboom, but her jaw dropped when she saw what happened next, "A Golden Trail.... wow!" gaspped luna. "they we're right when they said that the gold was at the end of the rainbow" said luna with a smile. everypony was shocked, but not because they saw a double rainboom or the golden trail but because some pony was faster than rainbow dash, most of equestria knew that Rainbow dash was the fastest pony around, even the princesses knew little of what Golden flash can do or what his true capabilites was. "Try to keep up Rainbow Crash.........hahaha" said a small filly's voice "HEY! it's DASH!! not CRASH!!" "you dont need to tell me twice! try not to crash instead so that i won't call you that!" said the filly's voice FLASH?!? FLASH!! "FLASH!?! HELP!! PLEASE DONT DIE! HEEEEEEELP! SOME PONY HELP!!" "That was amazing FLASH!! you never did that before!!" said soarin. "So you have these kinds of tricks hidden huh flash?, but this was supposed to be Rainbow Dash's Audition/Recruitment! did you have to outshine her like that?" said spitfire with a sigh. "well....i just wanted to show that mare that.....that..... ughh!, my head stung a little! ouch" said golden flash while holding his head. "You ok there flash? is it hurting again? wanna go to nurse redheart?" said soarin with a worried look on his face. "nah i'm good..i'm good..."said golden flash "everytime i think something about rainbow dash or the past my head hurts like crazy! dang it.." thought golden flash. "RD GIT YOUR FLANK OVER HIR!!" screamed Applejack. Golden Flash quickly turned around and saw a depressed rainbow dash slowly flying away... "calm down dear, it must be hard on rainbow dash knowing all this time that she was the fastest in equestria, this sudden realization that there was somepony faster than her must have hit her hard." said rarity "But this was supposedly her time to shine, some! pony should have been more considerate of a mare's! feelings before showing of like a horse on a mule!! and another thing...." grumbled Applejack but before applejack could continue her sudden fit of rage she was sweeped with a sudden gust of wind behind her. "What the hay?" said applejack. "well even though he's no gentlecolt, he sure is not oblivious to a mare's feelings" said rarity. "yup! even if he might look or act like a jerk, he has his own way of things." added soarin. "YO! Rainbow Dash! Where you going?" screamed Golden Flash. "....go away, i'm no wonderbolt material i ate what i said earlier..." said rainbow dash head hung low flying slowly "c'mon RD! your not like that?! giving up so easily" said Golden Flash "SAY WHAT?! do you even know me?! HUH?!" screamed rainbow "I..........I......ughhh......it's just that......ouch......." "Hey! you ok there Flyboy? you...." before rainbow dash could finish her sentence, golden flash suddenly stopped flying and fell. Quickly Rainbow Dash Chased the falling Golden Flash! "FLYBOY! FLYBOY! HEY!! OPEN YOUR FREAKING EYES!! WHAT"S WRONG" screamed rainbow dash, with the sudden turn of events she could'nt catch up to the quick falling of golden flash. "Rainbow dash....rainbow dash.... every time i hear her name, my head hurts, who is she anyway? who....." "yo...." "Hmmmmm....." "......yo flash......." "hmmmm...ughhh" "YO FLASH!! Your FLY IS OPEN!" "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!" golden flashs' eye's popped open! he was in bed in a small room. "where the hay am i? soarin? where am i?" said a confused golden flash "you're in the hospital you silly colt! you passed out while talking to Rainbow" said soarin "did i now?" said golden flash with a blank look on his face. "is he awake now?" said a familiar voice behind the door of the room "yep, 'Flyboy' is awake now! hehehehe" said soarin, "come on in.." "hey flyboy, i mean! golden flash.... sorry bout earlier i was just depressed and all didnt meant to break out on you" said rainbow dash with her head hung low and apologetic. "nah! it's ok, it was my own fault" said golden flash with a weak smile. "better leave you two alone" said soarin "WHAT!? i'm going too, i just checked up on him" said rainbow dash with a slight blush on her cheeks. "nope! you aint going nowhere missy! you need to talk to your "Judge" if you passed or not" added soarin with a grin "judge?? who?.. him? for what?" said a puzzled rainbow dash "what? did you forget bout the audition/recruitment for the wonderbolts?" said soarin tilting his head "yeah dash i will give you my decision" said golden flash "there you have it, gotta go! some apple pies are waiting for me outside" said soarin, and with a wink to golden flash, he was gone. with a sigh rainbow dash came closer to golden flash and sat next to his bed. "so.. judge? how'd i do" said sarcastically by rainbow dash "let me see here..." as golden flash somehow took out a clip board and glasses. "speed... check" "coordination...check" "attitude...nope" "temper...nope" "well it seems here we have a tie on the stats" said golden flash raising an eyebrow "what the hay? what kind of scoring is that" said rainbow "well you did'nt pass for a crash dummy, but for a wonderbolt well, look outside" said golden flash "what do you mean?" said rainbow dash, then she flew a little and looked outside and saw her friends where out there with a big banner saying "CONGRATULATIONS RAINBOW DASH!!" "What the hay is going ON HERE!!" said rainbow dash with a smile even though looking confused. "well it seems that you where outside my room the whole time i was in this bed and didnt bother to go outside" said golden flash "well! yeah!! i don't leave anypony hanging even if they are jerks!" said rainbow dash with a grin "i know rainbow 'crash'.. i know..." thought golden flash but why he said that made his head hurt again all he said was "You pass the test RD go to your friends Spitfire will brief you on your next test when you meet her outside" "omygoshomygoshomygosh... I CANT BELIEVE IT!!" said rainbow dash "better believe it, now go, your friends are all waiting for you" said golden flash "you don't need to tell me twice!" said rainbow dash and with a wink "whaaa...that's was...." said golden flash but before he could finish his sentence, rainbow dash flew from the opened window and went to her friends... To be Continued
Step 1: Proper Calculation try to keep up RD! no fair! you got a head start! did i now? the golden manned filly suddenly stopped. why'd you stop? the rainbow manned filly said. let's see how much you've improved since the young fliers camp hah! i'll let you know that i've been practicing with gilda ever since! you meant slow-da? hehehe, anyways! let's start race from here to that small mountain near everfree, remember that place? said the golden manned filly you got it! just don't go near that old tree, they're fixing it to be some kind of cottage said the rainbow manned filly flash!? flash?! open your eyes please! it's all my fault!! flash please! be ok!! i shoud have been paying attention SOME PONY HELP!! screamed the rainblow manned filly (dont cry) "it's not you fault..." (Please....don't cry) "it's never your fault..." (Rainbow.....) "i have to be perfect, calculate everything..." (dash.....) "Golden Flash!!" "whoa!! who?! what?! when?! where?!" "get your sorry flank over here!!" "yeah yeah!! you don't need to tell me twice!" said Golden Flash, and with that he flew from his quarters to the meeting room.. "what took you so long flash? had a bad dream? hehehe" said soarin "kinda?" said golden flash while looking half asleep, ever since the audition/recruitment 3 days ago, golden flash has been having strange dreams with a rainbow manned filly and his own every single night. golden flash being a said prodigy thought that it was from his childhood and was not sure if the filly in his dream was him and rainbow dash, before golden flash could finish his train of thought Spitfire slammed her hoof. "now listen closely both of you!" said spitfire with an authorative voice. "the first test finished in a way..." "we can clearly see that rainbow is wonderbolt material, she has her flaws, but a little practice and team coordination will fix that." said spitfire while studying rainbow dash's stats in a small black board. "soarin, what do you think? you our lead trickster/performer, think he'll be able to follow our tricks?" "hmmm, as far as im concerned, she'll be able to pull it off with proper training" said soarin with a contented look "i see, so you'll be the next one to test her, ok soarin?" said spitfire "i told her to meet us at the open field near everfree forest at 2pm and it's 10:52am, she has some more time to prepare" "flash, fetch her now and breif her,we'll meet you there at 2" "roger, see you guys there" said golden flash, and with that golden flash flew, heading to cloudsdalle "omygoshomygoshomygoshomygosh, it's already 11!! ok! keept it cool dash! you got this! you already passed the 1st test" said rainbow dash while trotting back and fort in her room. "knock! knock!" "RD! you in there? got some news for you" said a familiar voice outside her door. "who's there? Golden Flash? that you?" said rainbow dash quizically "yeah it's me! c'mon out i've got some news for you regarding the second test" said golden flash "coming.." said rainbow dash trotting to the door and opened it, inviting Golden flash inside her house but he refused by raising a hoof. "what's up Flash? feelin' better now? what kind of news you got for me? what kind of test is it this time? is spitfire the next judge?" said an eager rainbow dash. "whoa whoa! slow down there RD! first we need to get to the spot near everfree forest, i'll tell you on the way..." said golden flash. and with that, both of them flew from cloudsdale to the spot near everfree forest. At the meeting place "heh, i love this place... some crazy memories here" said rainbow dash "oh really? like what?" said golden flash "well...this was the place where we had our picnic me and the girls, that was one CRAZY picnic, a lot of crazy stuff happened" said rainbow dash "well now, what kind of crazy stuff?" said golden flash with a grin on his face. "well for one, twilight when coocoo with her problem being not being able to send a friendship report to princess celestia" said rainbow dash "and rarity bringing a sofa, that drama queen! haha.. but the one that bites the dust was the people of ponyville was fighting for a smartypants doll, "twilight's smarty pants doll" to be exact"said rainbow dash "hahaha, that is crazy but why and how?" said golden flash "well twilight said that if she can't find a problem to solve, so she made a problem to solve, well it back fired and the princess came to save the day and etc etc.. kinda long mushy story" said rainbow dash. "blehh, dont like much mushy stories" said golden flash "you and me both flyboy" said rainbow dash with a grin "STOP calling me that! anyways we have like 2 more hours before they get here, ill give you some tips or rather a heads up about soarin" said golden flash "as you know we have lots of tricks and stuff, soarin is the leader on that, he may look like a goof, but he's the best when it comes to group performance" said golden flash. "I see, so you guys have different kinds of rolls huh?" said rainbow dash "well kind of, spitfire and soarin are kinda special, can't say much why though but they have direct contact with the princesses and stuff" said golden flash "anyways you just need to remember one thing..." "We Fly as One.." "We Soar as One.." "We Perform as One.." "We Are One.." "whoa.... isn't that the wonderbolt Golden Rule" said rainbow dash "yup.. we fly as if we are one pony" "speed, coordination, direction and the flawless finish that every pony in equestria love, we do it together so it's not just about speed and tricks, unity is what you need to be a wonderbolt...Got that?" said golden flash with a grin his face. "gotcha! so teach me already!" said an eager rainbow dash "alrighty, now pay attention..." said golden flash, and with that golden flash explained every single trick in the book that they perform from the simple ones to the grand things like the one from the Grand Galloping Gala. Rainbow dash got confused from time to time but she kept an eager face and was seemingly enjoying her time with Golden flash and so was golden flash they we're both engrossed in talking to each other that they did not notice that they we're so close together almost nuzzling each other infact. "so you got the jist of things RD?" said golden flash "yeah, i got most of them but the rest i can deal with.." said rainbow dash "well that's good, with you around i need to calculate more properly now..." said golden flash "calculate? whaddya mean?" said rainbow dash face to face with golden flash "you know i mean.. so that you don't get hurt or anything... just like......" golden flash stopped mid sentence and his mind went blank, it was like his mind is trying to say something. "be carefull dash" said a young fillies voice "I got this dont worry flash! you won remember? so i'm gonna try to fly! and reach that farthest branch!" the young filly was trying to reach the toppest branch atop a seemingly large tree, "dont over exert yourself dash! you still can't fly properl like me!" "ZIP it flash! i can do this...just...a little...more...whoa whoa whoa" when the rainbow manned filly was about to touch the top of the tree, her wings suddenly crammped due to it still being too young to fly. just when the filly was about to fall she was caught by the golden manned filly. "I...told...you...not...to...over..exert..yourself...hnnng.." "thanks flash! but can you carry us both...flash?..whoa..whoa...ahhhhhhhhh!!!" they both fell from a midair, just when they where about to fall the golden manned filly rolled mid air to cushon the fall of the rainbow manned filly "THUMP!" "ow ow ow... you ok there flash? thanks....flash?...flash?! you ok there?" apperantly the golden manned filly's head hit a small stone, there was blood coming out of the golden manned filly's head. but even still he was able to half way open his eyes and said "you ok dash?" "Flash? yeah im fine thanks to you but! what about you?! is...is..is that blood?? omygoshomygosh! IM so sorry flash!!!" "it's not your fault RD i was the one who told you to reach that high, hehe , i'd never thought you'd do it though...ughhh..." "shhhh..save your energy you block head, im gonna go get help...flash? flash? buddy?" tears was comming out of the eyes of the rainbow manned filly, as she was holding onto her getting cold friend. "flash?! flash?!!! wake up please?!" "HELP!!! somepony help!!!!" "it's all my fault!!" cried the rainbow manned filly "it's not your fault dash..." "never...." "i should have calculated properly on the fall" said the golden manned filly but was heard with deaf ears due to the other filly crying for help.. "Flash?......" "you Flash!!....." "Equestria to flash!! YO!" "Tsup" "huh? what?" golden flash snapped back to reality, he remembered but what the hay happend NEXT!!!, thought golden flash ".....you ok there flash?" said rainbow dash with a blush on her face "yeah... im good RD, why's your face red?" said golden flash "wha?...you mean...ughhhh!" "nothing!!!" gumbled rainbow dash. "we have a few more minutes right? im gonna go to fluttershy for a sec; see yah in a bit!" said rainbow dash "what the heck just happend?" said golden flash To Be Continued
Step 2: Sonic Rainboom Knock Knock "Fluttershy are you home?" said rainbow dash "......." "huh, guess she's not home...oh man, now what do i do?" after what happened with golden flash earlier, rainbow dash doesn't know what to do with what she is feeling right now, it's like she's forgeting something too, more like someone, she tries to remember but to no avail, all she could remember about her past was the time with gilda, training and Jr. Speedsters, but when it comes to golden flash, it seems like she is forgeting something important that she needs to remember. "*sigh* what am i going to do?... i really need to talk to someone right now." said rainbow dash "rainbow dash? is that you?" said a familiar voice coming from the chicken house. "Fluttershy? boy! i sure am glad to see you! i really need someone to talk to right now.." "ohh my..it seems important cmon, let's get inside and talk about it.." "thanks fluttershy..." Back at the meeting place golden flash was just listening to his music and cloud watching while waiting for rainbow dash and the rest of the wonderbolts, he tried to recollect his thoughts due to the sudden realization of his childhood and about rainbow dash, and what the hay happened to RD and she suddenly flew off like that. she's a nice mare and all, well she IS a nice mare, a hot one at that, i mean "that" plot! and she has this tomboyish aura around her and that's kinda my thing and all but she also has this other side to herself that she hasn't showed it to anyone else...yet. Thinking that golden flash started to blush. "man...i'm broken, just thinking about her makes me all tinggly! is this what spitfire and soarin feel for each other?" mumbled golden flash while rocking left and right on the grass like a little school filly. "what's that about us flash?" said spitfire with a grin. "yeah, what's that all about? you getting in close with RD huh? you lover Stallion! hehehe" said soarin "huh?! spitfire? soarin?" when did you guys get here?" said golden flash with a sheepish smile and a blush on his face. "just in time to see you actin' like a little school filly" said Spitfire "so..where's RD Flash?" "RD? oh yeah! dang it! is it time already?" said Golden flash "i'll go get her" "*sigh* just go fetch her, we'll be waiting here, where did she go anyway?" said spitfire. "uhhhhhh, ummmm, you see..." before spitfire could raise an eyebrow she heard the mare's voice "sorry i'm late! just talked to a friend of mine and asked for advice.." said rainbow dash. "advice huh? wasn't golden flash here for that?" said spitfire raising an eyebrow. "nononono i got lot's of advice from golden flash, it's kinda like a diff..." before rainbow dash could finish her sentence she was cut off with a raise of the hoof from spitfire. "no need to tell us dash, i understand" said spitfire "thanks spitfire" said rainbow dash "so, you ready for your second test rainbow dash?" said soarin "i'm guessing golden flash gave you a brieffing on todays test?" said soarin "yup! and he also gave me some advice or rather a heads up" said rainbow "well then that's good, i haven't actually introduced myself properly.. ahem! the name's Soaring Cloud! Wonderbolts Performance Specialist, i'm incharge of all the tricks and performances we do on every single event may it be small or grand, if the princess calls we follow! nice to meet yah, oh! and you can just call me soarin' for short!". "got it! i'll keep that in mind soarin" said rainbow dash "i haven't introduced myself too actually, zup dash my name is Spitfire Blaze - Cloud, i am the leader of this little group of misfits, i'm actually the 22nd leader of the Wonderbolts group, i got promoted to being the leader around when you where just a little filly, if you ever pass the tests that we give you and become a wonderbolt, you will be following my every order. even if soarin here is the Performance specialist, i'm the one that organizes and perfects the performance, and keeps the group together. You can just call me spitfire by the way or which ever you feel like it." "ok got it! wait...Blaze - Cloud? does that mean?" said rainbow dash with a quizzical look on her face. "hehe, yeah me and soarin are engaged actually.. it's a long story dash.." said spitfire with a blush on her face. "and you already know me dash" said golden flash "yeah yeah flyboy, hehe" said rainbow dash while giggling "stop calling me that!" said an irate golden flash "now that the formalities is done, let's get to your next test! Performance and style! as a wonderbolt you are entitled to be the best of equestria, we fly as one pony and do it with both grace and awe!" said soarin "right! fly as one, perform as one!" said rainbow dash "that's right! you got the words and spirit out! now let's see you perform it! i made this trick with Flash back in the days! now lets see you do it, it's called "RainbowThunder!"" the trick here is we make a thundercloud trail in a circle and finish it with a sonic rainboom in the middle of that circular thundercloud trail, got it?" said soarin. "i got the jist of it!" said rainbow dash "well that's all well and good, c'mere dash i have a more detailed explanation here, and how to use our signature thundercloud trail.." said spitfire "now are we ready dash?" said spitfire "you got it! let's do this soarin!" said rainbow "now that's what i wanted to hear! in 3" "2" "1" "Let's FLY!!" said Soarin aloud! and with that, both soarin and rainbow dash flew upwards with the signature wonderbolt thundercloud trail, rainbow dash followed every single instruction soarin gave, they started off in a circullar trail to a loop d loop and then finally. "ok dash! one more circle and then break free and remove your trail!!" instructed soarin. "got it!!" "in 3, 2, 1....now!!" screamed soarin rainbow dash did as instructed and headed upwards and made a U turn and picked up speed into a sonic rainboom piercing the circular thunder cloud, and with a large boom the trick was made a combination of the rainboom and thunder strikes following the trail of rainbow was spectacular, Trully a trick to be awed! "NICE! now that is what we call a "RainbowThunder" pretty well done!" said spitfire "yeah, i must agree, it's like me up there with soarin" said golden flash "yeah, it's like you and rainbow dash are one and the same, hehe" said spitfire with a grin on her face. after a few moments in the air soarin and rainbow dash landed near spitfire and golden flash. "that.was.awesome! i've never thought of that trick!" said rainbow dash "cool right? you did pretty well for your first time rainbow i must say, now for your judgement" said soarin "ahem! your coordination is good, you listen to every intruction i've said and with some more proper training i don't even need to shout a command. So my decision is.." said soarin "pause for dramatic effect?" said rainbow dash "yeep... you pass! congrats RD!" said soarin "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! yay!!" screamed rainbow dash "congrats rainbow, sorry if your friends aren't here to celebrate it with you, it's just this tricks are classified, you know for publicity issues and stuff" said spitfire "totally, it's ok! we can celebrate later when i become a true wonderbolt!" said rainbow dash "good job RD.." said golden flash "thanks flash, about ummm earlier sorry if i left you suddenly.." said an apologetic rainbow dash "nah..it's ok RD, you have your reasons and besides it's like we did something anyway" said golden flash "hehe, yeah..about that kiss" whispered rainbow dash with a blush on her face "kiss? what kiss?" said Golden Flash "what?! you don't remember? you mean!" "well, kinda, yeah! i blanked out remember? and the last time i came to was you telling me you gotta go to your friend's place" said golden flash "yeah!! but but... ughhh never mind! i gotta go rest up now!" said an irrate rainbow dash "whoa whoa, what did i do this time?" said golden flash "nothing!" said rainbow dash, and before golden flash could talk rainbow dash was gone. "now what did you do this time flash?" said soarin "nothing!" said golden flash "well that's it, you did nothing don't you see flash? from the looks in rainbows' eyes she sorta like you?" said spitfire "your never gonna make a marefriend like that dude," said soarin with a sheepish smile on his face while looking at spitfire "you have to feel it flash the way she looks at you, whispering at you dont you get it?" said spitfire "i...i... for once i think i need to be told twice... damn it" said golden flash with a sad look on his face To Be Continued
Final Step: Golden Light Somepony! Anypony! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp! screamed rainbow dash I'm doomed! doomed i tell you!! ..... how can it be worse? now i'm stuck with the most boring creature in equestria! Atop a cloud near ponyville, golden flash was gathering his thoughts about rainbow dash and what happend yesterday in rainbow dash's 2nd test, him not noticing rainbow dashs' feeling for him. " *sigh* RD....how can i be so stupid and not know your feelings, i know your not into cutsey and wootsey but i'll be damned if i don't try" said golden flash "Somepony! Anypony! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!" "RD?!" said golden flash in a worried and surpriced look. Golden flash quickly got off the cloud and started searching for the source of the sound, its was clearly the voice of rainbow dash, and from the sound of it she was in serious trouble. "where yah headed to fla.... whoa!!" before soarin could finish his sentence, golden flash dashed passed him without a single hi or yo. "why in celestia's sake is that guy in a hurry?" said soarin "Cmon RD!! where are you?! damn it!! i wanted to prevent this and now... damn it all!!" screamed Golden flash I'm doomed! doomed i tell you!! "there!! it's coming from Ghastly Gourge!" Golden Flash flew from the entrance of the gourge and scanned every area, from the thorny paths to the Eels... "Damn it!! RD where are you??" said golden flash with a worried and irrate look on his face he then saw an avalance near the end of the gourge and quickly flew there and saw rainbow dash's wing stuck in a huge boulder and saw a little turtle (turtoise) trying hard to lift the boulder. "RD!!!" screamed golden flash "flash?! flash is that you?!" cried rainbow dash "oh thank celestia and luna your safe!!" cried golden flash hugging her "you got me so worried you dumbskull!!" said golden flash while hugging rainbow dash and crying rainbow dash couldnt say a thing she was speechless, the fact that she was stuck in a huge boulder in ghastly gourge and the thought of being stuck there forever alone, never able to see her friends and him again, she started to tear up but the sudden realization of this and the poor turtoise trying to lift the huge boulder to help her out, she pushed golden flash away from the hug and said. "save the romance for later lover boy and help the poor guy out will yah?" "wha? oh yeah! sorry bout that hehe, was caught in the...ahem!..um..moment...hehe" said golden flash with a blush. with the help of golden flash, they both lifted the boulder freeing the wing of rainbow dash, golden flash quickly flew for a couple of seconds and came back with a first aid kit, luckily soarin and spitfire was close by with a shopping bag full of medical supplies,groceries and pies for wonderbolts stocks. After golden flash saw them he quickly told them the situation and they gladly helped in the situation patching up rainbow dash, but they had go there seperate ways later on, for they need to go to a check up for something important. "so what in equestria's sake are you doing down here RD?!" said golden flash "well you see..i was looking for a pet because all of my friends have one and they have this little get together today with there pet and play with them, and they do this once a week and.....wait? why am i explaining this to you?" said rainbow dash "i dunno, maybe because i kinda helped you a little earlier? you know how worried sick i was?! atleast a little more explanation would suffice." said golden flash "yeah... about that..thanks....but still!, it doesnt mean i have'nt forgotten what you did yesterday!" said rainbow dash with an irrate look on his face. "i know..i know...and i'm sorry, i should have been more understanding with your feelings, will you ever forgive me?" said golden flash "i dunno...lemme think about it"said rainbow dash while rubbing her chin before rainbow dash could think of something she suddenly realized about the race and quickly stood up and explained everything to golden flash. After rainbow dash told everything about the race and about the turtle being too persistent, golden flash then got an idea, he put the injured rainbow dash atop the turtle, gave her his Wonderbolt I.D. and told them that atleast they would finish together and that would make the turtle happy because he told her that even the smallest off things can make anypony and in this case any turtle (turtoise) happy as long as there are feelings in it. After that he waved them both goodbye and told rainbow dash that he has a surprice for her after the race. Wonderbolt HQ "I'm gonna wait for you over here dashie cuz i can't walk on clouds and that will make me fall and go BOOM! like in the catoons we used to watch when we were just little fillies cuz that what little fillies do watch cartoons and eat popcorn but we don't have popcorn cuz we live in a rock farm and ponyville was to far from my old house and my oold house doesnt grow corn so we dont have popcorn but we do have rocks and i cant walk in clouds cuz im an earth pony and gummy is an alligator and tank is a turtle or was it a turtoise anyways we'll wait here like a good little filly and wait for your return, ok?" said pinkie pie while making tank a hat and gummy biting on pinkies' face. "uhhh......yeah, thanks again for the ride pinkie, be back in a sec." said rainbow dash "Okie dokie lokie!" said a bouncing pinkie pie with that said rainbow dash entered the huge gate of Wonderbolts HQ having already access with golden flash's I.D. she entered the halls of her future quarters. "OH.MY.GOSH......flash? you here?" said rainbow dash "over here RD!" shouted golden flash "where are you man?" "take a left then right! im at my room!" shouted golden flash again with that rainbow dash was infront of golden flash's room, she was relactant at first but after clearing her throat she entered "his" room. Feeling a little nervous it was her first time in a stallions' room, golden flash had a huge room, it was like a whole house rather than just a room, it had a living room and a staircase to the 2nd floor more likely his bedroom. "i'll be down in a few seconds! make yourself at home! it's a bit messy sorry bout that" shouted golden flash from his bedroom. "sooooo.. watcha want from me flash?" asked rainbow dash "well now that you have this pet of yours and im guessing its the turtle right?" shouted golden flash "Turtoise!" screamed rainbow dash "Whatever!" "And his name is Tank by the way" added rainbow "i see, well seeing that i "AM" a prodigy and all, i have a little gift for the guy, so that you can take him with you in clouds dale." said golden flash "pffft..Show off.." whispered rainbow dash while sitting on the couche and looking around, it was clearly a stallions' room, there was a huge poster of the wonderbolts near the 36' inch Flat screen TV with a PX3 attached to the TV, there was pizza's in the table near the fridge, magazines all over the place and a trophy case with lots of trophies and ribbons in them, but within those medals and trophies was two familiar looking trophy from when they we're little actually, it was the Young Fliers Trophy and the Jr. Speedsters Fastest Speedster Award. "hehe, well he can't boast about the young fliers trophy to me, but Jr. Speedsters? hmmmm..." thought rainbow dash "OH.MY.GOSH...... I.....remember..." the sudden realization of rainbow dash of what happened when they were young, that she was too stubborn to listen, how Golden Flash saved her from falling, how he bleeded, how he got hurt badly and how he got comatoused. She remembered being too depressed that she wanted to forget about everything and how her body and mind gave out due to the guilt of it all. so that's why he's so protective of me...it's all my fault...." said rainbow dash rainbow dash's eyes was watering she was about to cry, she was so ashamed of herself for not remembering and did not even bother to apologize from before, and when she heard the hoofsteps of golden flash she dashed out of her room through the gate and to pinkie pie's air balloon. "let's get out of her pinkie, Quick!!" said rainbow dash with tears oon her eyes "what's wrong dashie?" asked a worried look on pinkies' face "don't ask, just please!" pleaded rainbow dash And with that, they where gone. "TADA!! my invention for your tank! it'll let him fly! and he won't keep you groun.....ded....RD?....RD?....where you at rainbow?" To Be Continued
