Report 1

As I trotted nervously into the Wonderbolts' Training Compound, I reminisced about the Wonderbolts Audition day...

The auditions were a spectacular event, really. Happening once every time a Wonderbolt quits the Wonderbolts. This is extremely rare as the members love flying so much, they will hardly ever quit. But I was lucky then. There were two Wonderbolts who had just retired of old age... Man... I wonder what they are doing right now...

I trained so hard for that day. It was held at the exact same place I am right now. I was so elated when I heard I got in as I was the second best flier. The first, of course, being the winner of the Best Young Flier contest, Rainbow Dash. By the way, the address of the training compound will not be revealed. It is pointless if you have the address anyway for it is very heavily guarded 24/7 by royal guards. Interesting how Proncess Celestia values us so much, really. But fear not! All of the information you want will be here, on the Wonderbolts Insider. Exclusively from me, Blaze Star.

So I have been asked about the gossip amongst us.

Please do keep silent about this as this is Wonderbolt exclusive gossip. None of this is supposed to be leaked out of the Wonderbolts.

So let's get on with it!

So apparently, Soarin' and Dash are getting along pretty well. They go home together and come to training together. And when they were dared to kiss each other, they did it like it was a common thing that happens every day. So being the great spy I am, I managed to stalk them from a safe distance. I saw, with my own eyes, them going into a fancy restaurant and dating inside, smooching away passionately. How sweet, don't you think? So I then stalked them all the way to Soarin's house and guess what they were doing?

I'll leave you to speculate about that.

Fleetfoot and Rapid Fire are also interacting quite a lot, though not as much as Dash and Soarin' though. Nothing is cropping up between them worth clopping to, so I won't go into detail about that.

Okay, that's about it. As usual, comment what you want to see in the next issue!

So now it's time for the Wonderbolt uniform!

I've alwas loved it. A pure cotton suit of blue, with a built-in yellow cutie mark of the Wonderbolt logo. It has a warming technology in case we fly too high, where it gets way too cold, even for a Pegasus. Makes the uniform the perfect clothing to emo on the top of a high cliff where no one can disturb you. What I don't like about it though, is how it's a little too tight. Well I guess you have to make some sacrifice to have the perfect suit. Aerodynamic, streamlined, nice looking, and quite comfortable. There's no where else you can find this uniform but the Wonderbolts. It is too expensive to manufacture for the public though. Sorry about that, those who were hoping to buy one from me.

Now the goggles. I love that too. Tampered glass for the lenses, anti-fog. The strap is completely adjustable and has a variety of sizes. So it does not restrict blood flow to the brain or anything.

There is a uniform shop in the training compound. The nice old Pegasus there sells everything. New lenses (even with degree!) and bigger suits in case you grow too fat for your current suit. Sadly for the Pefasus, we hardly ever visit the shop. Well I guess she should be satisfied by her pay and her chance to watch us in action for free...

Okay as usual, please leave what you want to see in the next issue in the comments.

Alright, I have been asked about the cafeteria.

Well since it is only used for lunch, there is only lunch served, and it is only open during our lunch break, 12-2 pm. The cafeteria is tended by a young Pegasus who just took over the job from his retired father. Spitfire and the others keep telling me that his father cooks better but I personally have no idea. The food here is already comparable with those that luxury restaurants serve. I can't imagine how well the previous cook cooked.

It serves hay fries, apples, different apple pastries, and different deserts like pudding and sundaes. The apple food come from a farm in Ponyville called Sweet Apple Acres. Rainbiw Dash claims that his friend works there. Well whoever Dash's friend may be, she sure knows how to make some good apples. I dare say these are the best apples in Equestria.

Okay you know the ritual. Bye.

So I'm all done with the intro in the previous report. Okay let us start on the standard training.

So anyway, training is everyday from 10am - 6pm. Can you believe it, 8 hours of flight every day! Most ordinary pegas can't manage that, but we awesome Wonderbolts who love flying? 8 hours is a piece of cake!

We start off with warm-ups, stretches, and the gym. 50 push-ups and sit-ups, 5 rounds on the "track", and then we fo to the pony gym!

Next we have weights training. We get some bricks and tie them to our backs. We have to fly 100 laps. That's is quite tiring. Not much from the flying, mostly from the weight of the bricks.

Then we have lunch together. While eating delicious hay fries and apples the earth ponies harvested, we gossip and create rumors like everyone does and we also discuss about our new tricks.

The next few hours is just drilling. We have to fly through an obstacle course that unicorns put together 10 times. I'm fascinated by their magic. The course is different every time and for every person. Sometimes, I wished I was a unicorn...

No. That's silly. Flying is so much better than fancy magic.

Then we practice the tricks, our coach tells us the flaws and the things we are great at, and we keep trying to improve on it.

That's about it for practice. Please leave some comments on what you wish to see in the next issue.
