Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Shadow Rave had done shows for the Blue Wings for four years now, He was growing increasingly popular among pegasi. Whenever he went out he would be recognized by a few ponies.

Shadow Rave was heading back to the castle, as Princess Celestia had requested. Shadow Rave entered through the gates, the guards now instantly opened the gates for him. As he trotted into the throne room Princess Celestia greeted him with a soft smile "Oh, you're here already."

"I never have anything to do."

"Well hopefully this piece of information will change that."

"What would that be? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh not at all, Since you are of age i will be sending you to flight school."

"Uh... I don't know."

"Oh, come on! You must have social skills, after all these years..."

"I guess..."

"Well, i would suggest you start packing, theres a carriage coming for you tomorrow."

"Ok." Shadow Rave replied as he trotted to his room. While Shadow Rave was in his room his eyes wandered for things to pack, there wasn't much. Finally Shadow Rave had decided to take his Stratacoltster, a portable ponystep making device and a signed picture of him and all the Blue Wings. And finally a Blue Wings poster. Word was, some new team called 'The Wonderbolts' challenged them to a flight fight.

---24 hours later---

Shadow Rave was waiting at the castle gates for the carriage. "Why do i need a carriage? I'm perfectly capable of flying there." Shadow Rave mumbled under his breath. Soon enough, the carriage arrived, and a red pegasus wearing a tuxedo opened the door for Shadow Rave as he climbed in.

The carriage ride wasn't very exciting, as all that happened was Shadow Rave dozed off on the window for two hours. Soon, Shadow Rave was in the assembly room in Cloudsdale flight school with all the other new students. With nothing to do, and nopony to talk to, Shadow Rave started trotting towards a bench. Along the way green pegasus tripped over his hoof, she let out a small "Eeep!" as she went crashing down.

Shadow Rave was about to say sorry until he heard laughing. he did a one eighty spin to see a brown pegasus, a khaki pegasus and a grey pegasus all laughing at what he did. They all walked up to Shadow Rave as the mare trotted off "Nice one bro!" the brown pegasus congratulated.

"Uh, thanks."

"The names Billy."

"Hi, I'm Shadow Rave."

"This here is Hoops, and this guy is Dumbbell."

"Hi."

Hoops spoke up. "From what you did there, I think we'll get along just fine."

Shadow Rave thought for a moment. Should he really make friends with them? They don't seem like the nicest pegasi, but still this might be the only chance he gets to make friends, Shit "Hehe, ya i agree. Friends?" Shadow Rave asked putting up a hoof.

"For sure." All the pegasi said and brohoofed Shadow Rave. After about ten minutes a stallion walked onto the stage and started yell amidst the students, "Everypony Quiet!" that wasn't enough to settle the young pegasi, the principal shouted again "Everypony QUIET!" this caused all the students too stare at him "Good, Now everypony i would like to welcome you to Cloudsdale Flight School! Also my name is Principal Stinkmeaner."

(Yes that was a Boondocks reference)

  Principal StinkMeaner's name caused a few students to giggle "SILENCE!" Principal StinkMeaner Shouted, freezing everypony in shock. The principal continued his speech, "This is a school where all the famous flyers come from, so we expect your fullest in every class, including academics!" This was followed by all the students groaning, "Stop that, Now! Thank you, now You will all be given a card containing the name of your dorm mate and your dorm number, Your dorm mate will be of the same gender." Some of the male students groaned.

Three teachers started Handing out cue cards with names on them. Like all the other cards Shadow Rave's contained a single name "Billy" Shadow Rave's dorm mate would be one of his newfound friends, good news for once. Shadow Rave started looking for Billy, but before he could turn Billy had found him "Hey, so i guess we're dorm mates. Pretty cool, right?"

"Heh, Yeah."

"Well, Says here, our dorm number is thirteen."

"Shall we get going?"

"I don't see why not." And with that the two friends flew to their dorm. When Billy and Shadow Rave arrived their luggage was awaiting their arrival, Shadow Rave's small pile was towered by Billy's mountain of things, as did everypony else's in the hallway "Hey Shadow, why didn't you bring, like, anything?" Billy asked.

"I didn't have much to bring."

"Oh, doesn't matter, just curious." Billy exclaimed while bringing in his stuff. Shadow Rave put his instruments in the closet on his side, the right side, of the dorm, he put the picture on the bedside table which had a lamp on it, and finally put the poster on the wall.

Shadow Rave turned his head to Billy's side of the dorm to see pornographic posters plastered all over the wall, "Umm, Billy why did you put those up?" Shadow Rave asked disgusted.

"Because they're hot."

"I don't really like them... At all."

"How!?"

"Guess i'm not in too that sorta thing."

"Just ignore them."

"I'll try."

"Good, cause I ain't taking them down."


New students were excused from school the day they got there.. Shadow Rave had nothing to do, but luckily the Blue Wings were have a flight show today. The show was their last one before the flight fight.

The clock counted one hour before the show. Shadow Rave was behind the stage with the team. Shadow Rave was talking to Sunset Runner, her flight suit covered her yellow coat "Wow, Shadow four years you've DJ for us."

"Its been the best four years of my life."

"None of our DJs have lasted four years, they either got sloppy or became obsessed with nothing but the money."

"Im not interested into the money cause i have nothing to spend it on, and being sloppy will only cause me failure."

"Heh, thats true. You know kid, you're also my favourite DJ." Sunset Runner flung her green mane backwards.

"Really? Thanks, that... that means a lot."

"No problem. Well, I  got to go get ready, you should too."

"Alright." Shadow Rave and Sunset Runner went separate ways. One to the DJ's spin table, the other to where the team would enter. When Shadow Rave was standing at the spin table, he could see roughly ten thousand pegasi with more ready to enter.

"ARE YOU READY!" the announcer shouted from his cloud, the crowd  to cheer loudly.

"WELL LET'S GET THIS STARTED!" That was Shadow Rave's que to start the theme.

The Blue Wings did the routine from Shadow Rave's first show. First Thunder Twister flew out, followed by Sunset Runner, and Finally Lightning Runner. Once again, the team was worn out, but not as much as the first time.

After the show, Thunder Twister started a conversation with Shadow Rave "Hey, Shadow Rave I heard you started Flight School."

"Yeah, Cloudsdale Flight School."

"That's where I went, you know."

"Yeah, I guessed that."

"Hehe, wait... If the schedule hasn't changed since i was there, you should be heading back."

Shadow Rave looked back at the clock, seeing it five minutes till three "OH CRAP! Sorry gotta fly, see ya later!" and with that Shadow Rave took off at full speed.

Shadow Rave arrived at three fifteen, he still had fifteen minutes till assembly. When he entered his dorm he saw a dark pink mare lying on top of Billy, they were in a large make out session. Shadow Rave shuddered at the sight and backed out. Hopefully Dumb-Bell and Hoops were up to something. Their dorm was only two dorms down the hall.

When Shadow Rave entered he saw that Dumb-Bell and Hoops were sitting on their beds talking. Hoops was the first to notice Shadow Rave "Oh, hey Shadow Rave. Whats up?"

"Not much, just walked in on Billy doing... stuff."

Hoops and Dumb-Bell started laughing a bit before Dumb-Bell spoke up "Yeah, you can expect from him. He was always good with the mares."

"I see."

"He's always got me and Hoops jealous."

"Im surprised she's not disgusted by his posters."

"Oh, those porn ones? You don't like 'em, what did you bring."

"No I don't like them, and I only brought a Blue Wings poster, a picture of me and the Blue Wings, a ponystep making machine and my stratacoltster."

"Wait, You know the Blue Wings?" both Hoops and Dumb-Bell said in unison.

"No, I DJed for them."

"No." Hoops cooed

"I do not believe you." Dumb-Bell exclaimed

"Get a Blue Wings poster, if you got one."

Hoops turned his upper half to the wall and tore off a Blue Wings poster. Shadow Rave was hoofed (lets just go with that) the poster "See, right here." He pointed towards the bottom right corner, where it  displayed the words "With their DJ Shadow Rave" Dumb-Bell was dumbfounded ,as was Hoops "Dude, you're awesome."

"Thanks."

Hoops spoke up "Do you know Sunset Runner?"

"Yes, why?"

"I think she's hot."

"Wow, well I guess I see where your coming from." Hoops and Dumb-Bell let out small giggles, "Shit, look at the time! We gotta go to assembly."

The three colts flew off to assembly, two minutes late.
