For months, Rainbow Dash awaited for the day she would find out whether she would be accepted into the Wonderbolts, an elite team of pegasi in servitude to the princesses and a valuable asset to Equestria’s military.

Today, was the day she found out.

As Dash was out doing her daily exercises, she never heard the warning call of the mailmare Derpy Hooves.

“Look out!” cried Derpy, but it was too late as the mare crashed into Dash, tackling the mare to the ground.

“Ugh… what they hay!” Dash complained but then spotted Derpy. “Oh, hey Derpy.”

“Hey Rainbow Dash, I’ve got a letter for you.” Derpy replied as she pulled an envelope out of her saddlebag. “Looks like that’s it, gotta go.”

As Derpy flew off, Dash inspected the envelope for a moment, indicators of the letter being from the Wonderbolts painstakingly clear.

Once Dash opened it, she unfolded it and read aloud.”Rainbow Dash, it has come to our attention that you have been applying much effort into your daily practices and have been seeking many opportunities to enter the Wonderbolts Academy. Well your wait is over. I Captain Spitfire of the Wonderbolts and proud to announce that you have been granted full membership and a full term in the Academy, Welcome to the Wonderbolts and good luck in your future endeavors.”

Excitement, that was all Dash could feel when she finished reading her letter of acceptance into the Wonderbolts Academy, she felt ecstatic, she was visibly quivering with joy as she had finally gotten her one desire, dashing off to inform her friends of her success.

“Ohmygosh!” Pinkie said frantically with enthusiasm, as she was the first to find out about the acceptance. “I’ll get started right away with the planning.”

“Tonight, we celebrate, tomorrow, my preparation for departure begins.” Dash said. “Make sure all of our friends are there.”

“You got it Dashie!” Pinkie exclaimed and dashed off.

“Pinkie, you are so random.” she giggled as she went home to prepare for the party.

~Later that Night at Sugarcube Corner~

Dash, along with her friends Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

“Congratulations Rainbow Dash, I knew you could do it.” Twilight said as she hugged her friend.

“Well land sakes alive, I knew you’d get accepted no problems.” Applejack added.

“Aww girls, I wouldn’t have made it without your support and you know it.” Dash replied. “I mean, you girls have helped me in more ways than one.”

“Oh Rainbow Dash, you made it possible for yourself, not us.” Rarity interred. “We just gave you the means.”

“You have given me more than the means to succeed. You gave me a reason.” Dash replied. “Why, if I was able, I’d try and convice Spitfire to make you all honorary Wonderbolts.”

They all giggled and shared a night of fun and laughter… and cake… and… wait… where’d the chips and dip come from… Pinkie!

What… I just thought it’d be a cool new addition to my parties.

Eh… I suppose you’re right, anyway, where were we?

You were about to move on to the next part of the chapter where Dash goes to sleep and wakes up the next day to get ready for her trip to the Wonderbolts Academy.

Ah, thank you for reminding me.

You’re welcome.

Alright, moving on.

~Later, in Dash’s house~

“Wow… that was quite a party.” Dash said to herself as she began making her way upstairs, where she spotted Tank the tortoise in his bed. “What a day.”

“Tomorrow marks the start of another chapter in my life.” Dash said as she laid down on her bed of clouds and fell asleep almost instantly.

~The next day~

“Wow, I can’t believe it, I’ll be heading to the Academy in just a few hours.” Dash said to herself as she finished packing. “First I have to say goodbye to all my friends and let them know that I’ll be okay.”

As Dash made to leave, there was a glint in her eye, a glint of pride, confidence and determination to ensure her success would not be cut short.

‘First stop, Twilight’s.’ Dash thought to herself as she made her way to Twilight’s library.

As soon as the pegasus arrived, she knocked on the door, receiving an immediate response from Twilight herself. “Why if it isn’t the mare of the hour. I got you some going away presents before you go.” she said as she handed Dash a neatly wrapped package.

“Aww, Twilight, you didn’t have to go through all that for me.” Dash said, but graciously accepted the package anyway, opening it immediately.

What was inside was the first three volumes of Daring Doo, her favorite. Dash squeed and hugged Twilight.

“Hey, we all decided we’d meet you at Sugarcube Corner before you left, so I was on my way there, the others should already be there.” Twilight said as she began leading Rainbow to Pinkies.

~Later~

“Well girls… It’s time for me to go, I’ll write as soon as I get there.” Dash replied as she stepped into the carriage and closed the door.

The carriage had taken off and begun it’s flight… at first it seemed to be heading to the Academy, but then took a sudden turn and Rainbow was suddenly exposed to a sleeping gas that knocked her out.

~Back on the ground~

“Hey!” called a stallion as he crossed a hill, obviously a pegasus. “Our carriage was jacked, we were on our way to pick up a new initate, have you seen it come this way?” he asked the mares.

“Oh… oh Celestia… We have to do something… We have to save Rainbow.” Twilight said as she headed for the library to retrieve Spike, but was stopped.

“I’m sorry miss… but there is nothing we can do for your friend, and even if we knew where they were taking her, we would have done something already.” said the stallion. “I am truly sorry, but all that can be done is hope that she can escape on her own before it’s too late.”

“W-what… n-no… that can’t be true!” Twilight cried. “There must be something?!”

“I’m sorry miss, but there is no other way.”

~Meanwhile, in an unknown location~

“Sir… we have her.”

“Good, prepare for phase two.”

“Right away sir.”
