This is a story of the bravest. This is a story about loyalty. This is a story about danger. This is a story about… Rainbow Dash

The subway train travelling to Coney Island was almost empty since it was quarter to six. There were only six people in the train. At one side of the train four of them were watching the walls of the subway passing fast. On the other side, one teenage was holding her friend next to her. All of them had wounds, some of them were just bruises, but one of the girls had a nasty cut on her forehead. Her friend was comforting her when she woke up.

“You shouldn’t have pick me up.”
“What?”
“You shouldn’t have pick me up. And you knew it.”
“What did you want me to do? To leave you there, alone, so all the other gangs could hurt you Spitfire?”
“Look, Rainbow. I wanna thank you, for real. You have done a lot of us and the only thing we did for you was putting you into trouble.”
“We already talked about that. I won’t let anyone behind.”
“But we-”
“Not even you. Not one of you.” Rainbow said to all of the other people on the train. “I know some of you feel guilty about the events of tonight. Even I feel bad about tonight. And I know Twilight and everyone were right about most of the things they said about you.” Rainbow Dash cleared her throat. “But we went there all together, and we will came back, all together.”
“We know Rainbow.” Soarin, one of the others riding on the train, said. “But you gotta admit, you were pretty badass down there.”
“Yes, I know.” Rainbow smiled. “They didn’t saw me coming.” They laughed for a moment, until Rainbow stopped and her smile gone away. “But that’s not the right thing.”
“Rainbow, you did nothing wrong. You were only protecting us and yourself.”
“Yes, but still…” Rainbow looked through the window. Her optimism was gone, she only wanted to get to her bed and sleep. It was the worst night of her life.

The thursday before.

“There’s only 2 minutes before the match is over, people.” Vinyl Scratch was narrating the soccer match to the school. “Unless a miracle happens, this match is going to penalty shootouts.”

Rainbow Dash was running with the ball, she was trying to pass it to one of her teammates, but all of them were far away from her. Sooner than that, she found herself surrounded by four defenses from the Diamond Dogs.

“Oh no, she’s trapped!” Twilight exclaimed from the terrace.
“Run Rainbow run!”,“Don’t let them get you!”, “Go Rainbow!” Her other friends were encouraging her. Even with all the noise from the field, Rainbow could hear them, so she decided to outrun the defenses instead of waiting the other players. She passed through them, and began to run to the goal line. The goalkeeper tried to stopped her, but with no avail, since Rainbow slotted the ball into the net.

“GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!! The match is over! What a goal! What an amazing goal! Rainbow Dash, little cosmic comet, which planet did you came from? That was one of the most amazing goals I’ve ever seen in my life! The match is over folks, and thanks to Rainbow Dash, Canterlot Wonderbolts wins by 2-1 to the Diamond Dogs”

Ten minutes later, Rainbow Dash was closing her locker. She was named the MVP of the game and her team made it to the finals. She was going to Sugarcube Corner to celebrate with her friends. But before she left, she was stopped by Spitfire, the captain of her team.

“Well done, Rainbow!”
“Thanks, Spitfire. Was an amazing goal, right?”
“Yeah, Maradona would be proud.”
“I don’t know, they were so gentle.” Both of them laughed.
“Are you going somewhere?” Spitfire asked.
“Well, yes. I’m going to Sugarcube. Wanna come?”
“No, thanks, I just wanted to invite you to a party.”
“Did you said a party?”
“Yep, do you love parties, right?”
“Yes, I mean, I have a friend who is in love with parties and stuff but, yeah, I’d like to hang out.”
“Great, go to this place when you finish your meeting with your friends. Don’t be late!”
“I won’t!” She said while Spitfire was leaving the lockers. “Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh oh gosh-”

“Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh-”
“Rainbow, are you ok?” Twilight asked.
“What? Oh, yes, sure, why are you asking.”
“Maybe it’s because you were saying oh gosh for about 15 minutes.” Sunset Shimmer replied.
“I’m sorry, I’m kinda excited. Do you know who are the Wonderbolts Warriors, right?”
“Yes?”
“Well, they invited me to a party.”
“OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!” Pinkie Pie screamed. “That’s the coolest thing ever! I should bring my balloons, my party cannon, my gummy, my pinata, my-”
“Pinkie, stop.” Rainbow stopped her. “They didn’t invited all of us, just me.”
“Oh, but can I go with you?”
“I’m sorry Pinkie, I don’t think so.” Seeing her down, Rainbow added “but I guess that party will blow, maybe we should have our own party this sunday.”
“Really?”
“Yes, and I’ll tell the Warriors to come out, what do you think?”
Pinkie begin to inflate her lungs, and then a big shout that most assumed it was ‘YEAH!’ spread to all the city.
“I won’t let you down.”

“This is DJ PON-3 with the greatest music of all time. Now, it’s time to play a classic tune. From Ireland, The Cranberries brought you Linger.”

The party where Rainbow was invited was located on a house at Brighton Beach, on Coney Island. Rainbow was having fun at the party. It wasn’t as fun or crazy as a Pinkie party, but it was great. She was hanging out with the prom guys and having a good time. She was going to the bathroom until she bumped with a guy wearing a red shirt, a top hat and white makeup on his face.

“Get the hell outta here!” He said while he was leaving.
“Sorry. Geez.” Rainbow Dash then found Spitfire. “Spitfire!”
“Rainbow! Those are my friends Bulk Biceps, Rapidfire, Fleetfoot, Misty Fly and of course Soarin.”
“Nice to meet you, too.” Soarin said. “You were the one who scored that last minute goal?”
“Yeah, that was awesome, right? I was there, surrounded by rivals, no one there to pass it, so I decided to run to the goal line.”
“Wow, that’s awesome.”

Rainbow and Soarin begin to talk to each other, talking about sports, challenges and parties. They begin to have a good time until Soarin asked her if she was having fun at the party.
“Yes, well, mostly.”
“What? What happened?”
“No big deal, just a guy who bumped on me and he shouted at me.”
“Really, who was it? It was Bulk? He look though but he is no big deal to me”
“No, Bulk was amazing, it was this random guy. He was wearing a red shirt and make up.”
Suddenly, Soarin smile faded. “Make up? What kind of make up?”
“You know, like the ones that clowns or mimes wore. But it wasn’t the big deal.” Rainbow said, but she noticed that Soarin had a serious expression on his face, an expression that was turning slowly in anger.
“Sorry Dash, you stay here. I need to talk to Spitfire.”
“Well, let’s go to-”
“No. You stay here.”

He walked away from her, and Rainbow noticed he was whispering something on Spitfire ear. Her expression changed as everyone else around her. She went outside with Soarin and her other four friends. Rainbow decided to follow their tracks. As they begin to walk far away from the party, she began to feel uneasy. They went to an alley, and when Rainbow entered there, she was confronted by them.

“Aw, let me go!”
“What are you doing here? I told you to stay in the house!” Soarin said.
“That’s what I’m asking, what are you doing here? And why you were so freak out when I told you about the mime.”
“Look, this is dangerous. Really, really dangerous.”
“Spitfire, what the hell is going on here?”
“Nothing that matters to you. Now move on.”
“I won’t leave until you tell me what’s going on.”
“Get away from here, Rainbow Dash”

“Well, well, well.” Suddenly, all of them stopped. They heard some steps going on their direction. The guy who bumped on Rainbow was walking to them, surrounded by other people with the same attire and makeup. “It’s the Wonderbolt Warriors”.
“What are you doing here? This is not SoHo” Spitfire talked to them.
“Well, we heard there was a party, and we wanted to have some fun.”
“You are not allowed to enter this neighborhood. Go back to SoHo.”
“What if we don’t wanna go home early? Whatcha gonna do?”
“Well, remember there is a truce. Do you wanna break it?”
“Maybe, maybe not. But I remember one thing, warriors.”
“What?”
“That truce… is for true gangs.”

As soon as the mime said that, Spitfire punched his face, throwing him to the ground. Then a brawl began with the mimes and the Wonderbolts fighting each other. Rainbow stayed away from the battle until she noticed one of the mimes took out a knife and was walking to Spitfire. Quickly Rainbow Dash kicked him and throw away his knife, fighting alongside the other Wonderbolts. The Wonderbolts had the upper hand until they heard a scream from another person.

“HEY!” Suddenly both the mimes and the warriors stopped. “What are you doing here?”
“We were protecting ourselves from them. The Cloudsdale Hi Hats are not allowed to enter here.” Spitfire said.
“Is that true?” The man said to the mimes, the Hi Hats.
“Well, part of it. I mean, there was- there-. Please we don’t want to break the truce.” The leader said.
“I thought you wanted to break the truce.” Soarin said.
“No, that’s not true.” He said to the Wonderbolts. “Please man.”
“Do you have any problems with them.” The man said to the Wonderbolts.
“As long as they leave, no.”
“Go back to your home base. And I don’t want more trouble from you. Is that understood?” The Hi Hats silently nodded as they began to walk off from the street. “Don’t forget about the meeting.”
“No, we won’t.”
“Remember, no guns.” He said before leaving quietly.

Rainbow Dash was really pissed off. The face she gave to the Wonderbolts was mad.
“I guess you have some questions, right?” Spitfire asked.
“Whatcha think?”
