//-------------------------------------------------------// ThunderJet, a WonderBolt biography -by Prince Aeon- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Part 1 My name is ThunderJet, proud member of the wonderbolts since now two years, I have an orange coat with red eyes and a black and red mane and tail. I remember my young days like if it was yesterday. The farest that I remember is when my parents brought me to the park in Cloudsdale. All the attention was on another Pegasus named SpitFire that learnt to fly at a really low age. So I was all alone with myself. Back in the days, I had not much friends, but few months before kindergarden, the best thing that could've happen to me... well... even if I didn't realized it yet... happened. SpitFire's family moved in the house right next to us Chapter 1 Kindergarden First day at school, everypony already knoes each others, but me. I was sad, in my corner, alone, again. Then all of a sudden "Hey, I know you, you live in the cloud next to us" Filly SpitFire was sitting in front of me. "Hum... hi... my name is ThunderJet" I timidly said. "Well ThunderJet, I am SpitFire and I like your mane." Red as a tomatoe, I was shy as hell."Hum... your's pretty too..." Then she laughted. We were talking, we growth togheter, Seeing each other after school. She was my only friend. Others were just friendly ponies. After two years, I still wasn't able to fly. SpitFire kept flying everywhere saying that flying is amazing. Days after days, jealousy kept growing inside me, it was a horrible feeling, like fire in my heart. SpitFire tried to help me fly but I kept just failing my tries. Chapter 2 Up in the air Eight years old, SpitFire and I are the best of friends since three years. We have no secrets for each others, except my jealousy. During Summer, I went in fly camp, after the thousand "pleases" of Spit, hoping that I will fly. SpitFire earnt her cutie mark during an accident when a filly baby felt out of a cloud and SpitFire dove in the mist and flew as fast as she can. I looked down at them and saw Spit's tail waving like fire. She grabbed the baby and flew straight back up. As she gave back the filly to his parents in the crazy crowd, her cutie mark popped on her flank. I was happy for her but I couldn't kept the jealousy away. Anyway, about this fly camp. The trainer looked at me and said "Come on fella, show me what you can do". I was going to tell him that I can't fly when SpitFire said loudly "She can't show you, she didn't learn yet to fly." Everypony started to laught at me "Oops, sorry" SpitFire said. My eyes were filled with water and I went hiding myself. I stayed hidden until night came. I told myself:"I can do it, even if that kill me, I'm going to die while trying". I went at the end of the cloud. "There is no fail landing anymore". I looked at the dark hole under me then at the moon. I crouch myself, pulled of my wings, Then I jumped as I waved my wings. A "BOOM" came out loudly and scared me. I started to wave my wings as fast as I can. I had the feeling that the "BOOM" pushed me in the airs as I was... Flying. I made it, I wasn't falling, I was so happy that I was doing loops and curves. It was the best moment of my life and nopony knew about it. All they heard was a boom. I woke up on a cloud, in the middle of the fly camp. SpitFire was right in front of me, starring my flank. "Huuuuh...Spit? Are you okay?". "Jet, you... you have your cutie mark.". "I what?". I looked back at my flank and saw what looks like a lightning like SpitFire's but the clouds were at the angles of the Z shape. "But, what could it mean?" SpitFire asked. "I think I know" I answered. Chapter 3 A Question Of Pression Everypony knew that I was not able to fly so they were suprised to learn that I needed to show them something. I don,t need to say how much ponies were there because all the camp was. They all stared at me as I crouched myself, pulls out my wings and burst in the sky with the same "BOOM" of yesternight. All mouth were opens, none of them ever saw a pony able to perform a Thunderpressure as they said. I was wondering "What is a Thunderpressure?"" "The Thunderpressure is a pegasus technique that happen when a pony flap his/her wings so fast with a big wingpower. The wings movement create an empty space without air behind the wings, the pressure is lower, what brings the air to fill the space really quickly. The recontact of the air in the empty space create a burst tha pushes the flyer in the airs with a "BOOM" similar to the thunder." Spitfire and I were staring at the trainer with the best "what?" face ever. He continued: "This technique haven't been performed by a pegasus since twenty years." I turned at Spit "yay" and we left. Chapter 4 The Separation 10 years later - Me and Spitfire trained hard. During ten years of our lives we flew together. It was easy because our job was to transfer the mail between the cities. We were working in team, the fastest one. It was pretty fun because our job made our wings strong due to the heavy mail, the long distances and our speed challenges. As spitfire got a wingpower of 18 and me, about 19. My maximum is 20 because it's the wingpower needed to create a Thunderpressure. One day, we delivered a big load of letters in canterlot. We were going to leave when Spit dissapeared behind me. I turned around and saw her with a big smile looking at an advertiser. "Do you think that you are good enough to join the Wonderbolts?". I asked:"Wonderbolts? What in the name of Celestia is that?" She answered "They are the best flyers in all Equestria" "And you think that you are good enough to join them?" "With no doubt, They are in Canterlot right now and I am going to see them. I'll see you back in cloudsdale." I arrived in cloudsdale around the end of the afternoon. I was exhausted and went straight up to bed . Around midnight, I heard a voice "Jet? Jet I have something to tell you!" I woke up all of a sudden, suprised by the entrance of SpitFire "Wha...what is it?" She grabbed and hugged me hard as she said: "The wonderbolts want me to be with them!" Everything in my head started to do a chaotic amount of questions and answers. I replied immediately "That's...awesome" "I've never been so excited. It's going to be so awesome, I am going to be a star..." she stopped as I pushed her slowly because I was not able to breathe. "I understand Spit, and I am so happy for you" but really, in my head, I was happy, sad and angry. What was going to happen now? The day after, She did not came to the mail job, neither the day after nor the others, I didn't saw her either. She was gone. My only friend that I ever had was gone. When I realised that. It took me one week to let out all the tears of my body. I could've have done a whole hour of rain in all Equestria all by myself. Obviously not because it's alway sunny in cloudsdale, but dark in my heart. To be continued...
