You gotta DASH to be able to SOAR

"Did I SURPRISE you?! Huh? Huh?!"

"Your... Surprise... from the Wonderbolts...?"

"Yeppy! Surprise from squadron two!"

"What... what are you doing here?" asked Rainbow curiously.

"Your Rainbow Dash! The one who saved Spitty's, Sori's and Misstties' butts! Oh and the one who DEMOLISHED Fleetfoot! I'm sorry about that episode where we accused you, it was all totally Soar's idea!"

"Oh umm right... wait what epis-"

"You'll still like him, right?" asked Surprise hopefully, cutting her off.

"I... I guess... I mean, he's still in the Wonderbolts, why not?" mumbled Rainbow.

"Oh um okay, anyway! I'm here to be your personal trainer!" grinned Surprise.

"My... what?"

"Your person trainer! I'm going to show you all that I know so you'd BOUND to get into the Wonderbolts and you'll be able to get together with Soa- the amazing food!"

"Right..." mumbled Dash, not quite catching on when she nearly said Soarin's name.

"So you up for it?!"

"Sure, any time with the Wonderbolts is fine by me! I gotta warn ya..."

"Yeeessss?"

"I am th- RACE YA TO THAT MOUNTAIN! ONETWOTHREEGO!"

Surprise looked at the mountain and where Rainbow just was, relishing she just tricked her. Surprise mumbled something under her breathe like 'I swear shes so much like Soarin' as she flew after her, around 2 times Dash's speed.

"Wha- how..." panted Rainbow, landing on the same cloud Surprise was on.

"Heh, lesson number one, you ever learned to dash?"

"Umm pardon?" asked Rainbow, tilting her head, the two sitting down on a cloud.

"You ever learn how to dash?"

"Uhh sure..."

"Anyone tell you, you gotta dash before your able to soar?"

"No I-"

'To be able to dash, you need to soar,'

"... yes..."

"What was that?"

"Y-yes..."

Surprise looked at her curiously and tilted her head.

"Are you ok? You look worried."

"I'm fine... carry on." sighed Rainbow.

"Umm okay... anyway, anyone tell you, you actually need to fly to be able to then soar?"

"..."

'to be able to soar, you need to fly.'

"Y-yes..."

"Heard of an old mares tale, A Pegasus' Legend?"

"Umm... no..."

"Well... it is believed that, thousands of years ago - probably when Celestia became ruler - Pegasi couldn't fly as fast as we do now, they could probably properly lift off the ground when they were, most likely our age. Most of them had to use their special talents, some may of never flew, that was until a certain couple of Pegasi came. The two were alike, they were bold, awesome looking, the age of 20. They we-"

"Surprise? Why are you getting more dull?"

"Oh sorry, I guess I didn't have enough sugar... I should really have 10 bags a day... ANYWAY! NO INTERRUPTIONS MISS DASH!"

"Miss Dash? Ex-"

"AH, AH, AH!"

"Fine. Sorry. Carry on."

"-cough, cough- Ahm... where was I? Oh right."

"They were but the ones, that everypony... didn't have faith in. No pony believed that they were going to be able to find a way to fly quicker, to start at an early age. Celestia were they WRONG! Though they had many GOOD things. There was ONE downside. Their wings were the smallest wings anypony had ever seen. They were smaller than a small fillies. Their wings weren't FIT enough to believe in. Even though so DESPERATE, they weren't willing to give them a try. Signs were up, the one who could fly the quickest could show the others. Show every other Pegasus around Equestria. They would be a living legend. But... they had to enter a competition, a competition where you had to qualify in size, WHY was it like that? No pony knows. WHY didn't Celestia do anything? At the time she wasn't a full assigned ruler. Wh-"

"Umm what was the couple called?"

"I'LL GET TO THAT!"

"OKAY, OKAY, SORRY, CARRY ON!" Dash said urgently, interested yet frightened at Surprise.

"What was the world? The couple decided to completely ignore the competition. They would race. A grand race across Equestria. To prove them all wrong, to prove anypony can do anything they dream of. The NICE things in life. The love of flying..."

'Sounds a lot like me...' thought Rainbow to herself, looking at Surprise intently.

"The love of each other..."
