Prologue: After the academy
Lighting Dust is out of the academy now after she was being reckless, got kicked out of her own home all because she failed. She had no hope, no purpose, no home, she was roaming of into the streets of Cloudsville one night with her bags on her back and her head looking at . the floor like she was a failure. She left Cloudsville because she couldn't take it anymore on her dream being crushed.
She opened up her wings ad soared up into the air. She flew through the cold wind blowing on her face, the clouds were not that thick more like mist. Lighting Dust continued to fly through the air down south seeing ground beneath her, she could see a lake beneath her, she was so thirsty and didn't have enough water so she dashed to the ground to get a sip. She crashed into the ground with her heavy bags on her back, Lighting hurt her right wing so she couldn't fly for the rest of the night.
Lightning Dust started to walk around the area for a while, she couldn't see anything because it was like pitch black. Lighting encountered the Everfree up ahead of her along with a dirty muddy footpath. She walked along the footpath leaving the lake she stopped to on ground. When Lighting entered the forest it became more blacker and blacker by the second.
She kept walking for minutes which felt like hours, Dust smelt something rotten close up to her golden striped mane which were Timberwolves. She couldn't fly so she had to run, while she was running, her bags slowed her down so he chucked the bag hard onto the ground. Lighting Dust kept running and running going deeper and deeper into the Everfree not knowing where she was going.
Lighting stopped noticing she was lost, and speaking of lost the Timberwolves lost her too. She breathed heavily worried and scarred into the most dangerous forest shes ever been in. She started to walk among the Everfree with the trees in a straight line, no animals in the forest she could see only dark long green leaves. Lighting continued to walk for hours not knowing what time of the day it was until she saw light.
She ran to the light which was becoming closer and closer and closer. She stopped towards the light where she found there maybe could be civilization. Twigs were in her mane and wet grass on her hooves from her hike towards the light. She saw three pegasus flying in the sky near the light, she was a little bit scared but not to scared. Two landed behind her and one infront of her.
"What brings you to the everfree? You should run while you have the chance," The Shadowbolt in front of her replied.
Lighting Dust gulped "Um, I was passing through the neighbourhood?"
The Shadowbolt behind her on the left chuckled, "Guessing you used to be a 'Wonderbolt?' You should join us if you have no where to go,"
Lighting Dust gasped. "How did you know that? And why is that?" She questioned.
"Because, we know what you're facing, they took over what we were supposed to be. We understand you, you're just like us, saying were to reckless to get what we want. FAME!" The Shadowbolt on the right behind her spoke.
"So whats it going to be then huh?"
Lighting Dust thought about it for a second. She wanted to get revenge on them, her heart was cold filled with anger and hatred. "I'll do it. I got kicked out of the academy by Rainbow Dash and kicked out of my own home. Time to get what I deserve," Lighting Dust agreed with the Shadowbolts.
"Excellent, you probably wanna stay with us though, there's a whole lot of other pegasus just like us,"

Chapter 1: One year later
Rainbow Dash is accepted into the Wonderbolts and achieved her dream. All her friends are happy for her as well as the rest of the 'Bolts excited for their new member. Sure things turned out into a rocky start but now she's all settled in. Rainbow had to overcome obstacles along the way in the academy and the royal guard opening where the risks became higher. Shes been a part of the Wonderbolts for at least half a year already and she's settled in found her place and can deal with the nickname 'Rainbow Crash'. Dash has been happier since shes joined the Wonderbolts as a full member, there's nothing pushing her backwards to be the talented flier she is today.
Rainbow Dash has finished her Wonderbolt training for the day and she's inviting the rest of the 'Bolts to her place. She is excited to have them over because they've never seen her place before.
"Ahh, that was just what I needed" Rainbow replied coming out of the hot steaming showers
"You said it Crash, can't wait to check out your place later today." Fleetfoot replied while coming out of the showers along with the rest of the 'Bolts.
Rainbow chuckled to herself. "Well for me I cannot wait!" She said in a fangirl voice which nearly made Rainbows voice crack
Half an hour later the 'Bolts got there bags and started to head over to Rainbow Dashes place. It was near early late afternoon when the 'Bolts left HQ to go over to Rainbows place for the night. Rainbow Dash is buzzing with excitement doing backflips in her head.
Man, I just can't wait for this to happen. Maybe we can drop of the bags and head over to sugarcube corner. Well done Dash, you've done it again. Rainbow thought. She noticed that they were nearly closer to her house which looked huge.
"Wow Crash, I was starting to think that you place was small. But this is big, like really big" Fleetfoot was surprised with most of the 'Bolts jaw open.
Rainbow shrugged and blushed a bit. "Aw, thanks. HELLOOO anypony home?" Rainbow waved her hoof in her teammates faces for at least a minute or two. "I guess your all in love with my home,"
"Ha ha ha good one Crash," Misty Fly replied sarcastically coming back to reality like the rest of the Wonderbolts.
Rainbow giggled while opening the door. "SO, I was thinking, after you guys just drop your bags of we can go over to Sugarcube corner for like just a snack or something. I forgot to get a few things from the market yesterday,"
Spitfire nodded her head. "Sure whatever y'like Crash, you're the one hosting us."
"Kay, anyway I'll show you guys around the place so--"
"AHHHHH WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!" FLeetfoot screamed. Rainbow Dash was laughing to the ground while Fleetfoot was trying to get the flying green tortoise of her. "CRASH!! WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING??"
"T-t-t-ank, *laughs more* priceless come here. Guys this is my pet Tank. Don't ask how I ended up with him, mostly from saving me from an avalanche. Thats just his way for 'hello'"
Fleetfoot blushed madly embarrassed not knowing what to say. "Wait, thats your pet? You really have a lot of surprises like Surprise. I think the world hates me,"
"More like the world is against you," Soarin replied nudging her. Tank kept coming closer to Fleetfoot and she tried to get him away by her hoof.
"Aww, congrats Fleety, he likes you!" Surprise replied. Fleetfoot sighed in defeat from her enemy which was a tortoise.
The 'Bolts didn't need long to settle in and drop their bags in their rooms Rainbow showed them. Rainbow took them on a house tour so they knew where things were so it wasn't to much asking where's where.
Fleetfoot was not getting used to Tank cuddling up to her. Usually Rainbow and Spitfire would just giggle if they saw Tank cuddling up to Fleetfoot, Rainbow didn't mind if Tank did that to visitors. The team decied they wanted to go over to Sugarcube corner for a treat.
