Stance strong.

Wings ready.

Rainbow Dash walked out onto the soft cloud and observed her surroundings. She was in a stadium made of compacted clouds that were formed in to pillars, seats, and a race track. The lack of a roof provided the perfect lighting for Celestia's sun to shine down upon the track in sort of a spotlight kind of way.

Rainbow had been to this stadium multiple times before watching the WonderBolts compete, the only difference this time is that SHE was competing in the race. Rainbow walked up to the starting line, stretched her wings and put on her googles to prepare for the events about to take place. She tossed a glance to either side of her, spying Soarin to her right, Spitfire and Fleetfoot to her left.

Dash's ears perked up to the announcer's voice counting down to the start of the race. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.-BANG! The announcer shot the starting pistol and before her mind could catch up Dash's body shot off the starting line. In first, was Spitfire, 2nd Fleetfoot, next Rainbow Dash, last Soarin. The four started the first leg of the race. Dash sped around the first corner, then another, then the third but clipped her wing on a piller in the process. She gritted her teeth, but in an attempt of determination shoved the pain to the back of her mind and then cleared it. The only thought she had was winning.

Rainbow came around the fourth corner on to the straight away. She could see a pony in front of her and was determined to pass this pony. The second set of curves came at the end of the second straight away and she was forced to slow down to avoid the fate of crashing. When she swooped out of the curves, the starting line was half way down the first straight away and she bolted for it. Dash threw a look at the announcer tower checking for a flag but none arose.

Fleetfoot was about a yard in front of her and she knew how fast she could go going straight so she flapped her wings harder and evened out with her opponent,then with a bit of straight track ahead pulled through and passed Fleetfoot. Rainbow Dash knew Spitfire would be in first so she shook her head burrowing it in the wind, pumping her wings with vigorous effort. Dash executed the corners perfectly and passed the start again, seeing a white flag being waved above her head. Rainbow knew to win she would have to be at her A game.

As she pulled off the first set of curves again, she saw Spitfire heading down the straight away. Rainbow wanted to win so bad it hurt so she took those emotions and used them as fuel as she did the rest of her feelings. The crowd cheered for it seemed Rainbow could not be stopped. Her actions mimicked the ones of a bull seeing red. Dash flung herself around the last corner and locked her eyes on her fillyhood idle. She saw the checkered flag ahead and pushed all her energy into her wings. Rainbow Dash could feel the wind against her face become stronger. The cheering of the crowd became a faint whisper as she traveled faster and faster. She felt like lightning as she traveled faster then she ever had before, and in that moment a loud boom sounded and a rainbow of color shot out around her. Dash soared past Spitfire leaving a rainbow in her wake. She flew over the finish line and arced up into the sky and over the stadium creating a vibrant rainbow stretching from one side of the stadium to the other. Dash landed with a loud THUD on the winners podium in the first place spot.
