Chapter 1

[ Rainbow Dash was excited. no more than excited that it just couldn't be put into words. She was chosen out of all the reserves, the rainbow maned mare was chosen. Although Rainbow dash was only there for an emergency, like if one of the Wonderbolts couldn't make it. But still, it was a great opportunity.

She could spend some time with the Wondebolts, not just the Wonderbolts but a certain fire maned one. It would be a bonus if the young mare could fly with the Wonderbolts however.

"Mm..Is that Juniper Phoenix I smell?" Rarity asks interested.

"No, It's broccoli," Rainbow dash says happily. While continuing to munch on her meal.

"Yes Juniper Phoenix, it's my favorite stallion cologne. " a deeper older voice replies.

"Mine as well, It's masculine but subtle with the slightest hint of floral ess-"

"Rarity!" the rainbow maned mare interrupts, noticing the older stallion that Rarity was talking to. "Don't you know who this is?!" Rainbow Dash confounded by how Rarity is not realizing who she was talking to.

"A gentle pony with fabulous taste in cologne and scarfs." Rarity says with a smile. Clearly having no clue what the big deal was all about.

"No, it's Wind Rider." Rainbow Dash says flabbergasted. How could she not know who this is? He's one of the greatest Wonder bolts alive. Rainbow dash even strived to be that awesome. Although a certain fire maned mare is higher on her favorite list.

"Oh, so nice to meet you" Lifting her hoof up, still not understanding the big deal. A nice gentle stallion with great taste who she surely could be friends with.

"You didn't let me finish!" Rainbow dash continues, ", "He's a living legend, he holds the Wonder bolt record in the musting Mare-A-Thon."

"Now that was a long time ago, honestly I can't believe I still hold the record." Wind Rider cooly states.

"Wind Rider, Oh I see you've met Rainbow dash." An all too familiar voice starts. "She's one of our most promising reserves." The rainbow maned mare felt her insides soar with the compliment from her fire maned mare friend. "She even might beat your record," nudging Winder Rider. Rainbow Dash couldn't wait to get some alone time, just Spitfire and her. It feels like forever since the mares have been together.

"Oh really.." WInd Rider distantly grimaced.

"I'm not as fast as you.. I mean" Rainbow Dash rambled bashedly on.

"OOh staying in the East tower? Those rooms have the best view of Canterlot." Rarity says dreamily.

"How lucky are we," Spitfire says with some undertones written all beneath it. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire are the only ones sharing the East wing. "Well, we better get some shudd eye before practice." Spitfire finished while closing the door behind her.

"See you tomorrow Rarity." Rainbow dash says giddily, already planning to sneak into the fire maned mare's room once her friend leaves.

Rainbow Dash checked to make sure the coast was clear, which luckily it was. No Rarity or nothing, swiftly she flies to Spitfire's door slipping into the long door. The first thing that the young mare sees is a thing only she gets the privilege of seeing. The Wonder Bolt's leaders face in a calm peaceful expression that only sleep could cause. Rainbow stealthily got closer, just embracing the serene scene in front of her.

Minutes must have passed, just staring at her marefriends beautiful features. She didn't have the heart to wake her mare friend.

Rainbow swiftly shimmied underneath the blanket, only to be wound up in a mess of wings and hooves. Spitfire unconsciously wrapped her wings and hooves around her smaller mare friend, nuzzling the back of the blue maned mare. This embrace the young mare never grew tired of, it was filled with warmth and love. Seems like Spitfire only could give that sort of emotion and safety to Rainbow. Closed her eyes and swiftly joined her older mare friend into sleep.

Rainbow Dash awoke to somepony nuzzling her cheek.

"Dash wake up, it's time to get up," Spitfire says lovingly.

"5 more mins," Rainbow Dash says groggily while cuddling into the closest wing she could find. Rainbow Dash wasn't a morning pony, it takes a couple of minutes for the rainbow maned pony to fully wake up.

"I got to get up Dash, I can't do that with you snuggled into my wing." Normally when her mare friend got this cuddly, she didn't mind. Rainbow Dash wasn't much of a softy, that much everypony knows. No pony would believe that the normal introverted pony was so affectionate behind closed doors. But today was a show, that was the cons of being a Wonder bolt that many will never understand. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows that was for sure.

Rainbow Dash suddenly realizes who's wing she was snuggled deeply into. She has a habit to find Spitfire's wing even when she's asleep. It was one of her favorite pillows in the whole Equestria. "Buut Spits" whined Rainbow dash desperately not wanting to leave her mare friend's warm embrace.

"I'll make it up to you Dashy, but right now we must get up," Spitfire says smirking while leaning closely into the rainbow maned mares ear. "But that is only if you're good mare" Spitfire's voice husked, while her breath danced lightly against the blue mare's ear on each letter, causing her to twitch. The sun's rays seemed to illuminate the young mares pink tint that seemed to gracefully lay upon the mare's cheeks beautifully. "If only I could have my way with you right now.."

Before anything else could be spoken Rainbow Dash was up quickly and trotting to the door, while unknowingly swaying her hips slowly. Following behind was Spitfire as her eyes traveled all along her mare's legs, how the rainbow maned pony's legs curved to how the muscles that laid there flexed with each step the mare took. To the rainbow tail that swayed back and forth like honey.

It was a bright warm evening in the practice stadium. With mares and stallions here and there in the seats overlaying the center where the Wonder bolts are practicing. But today was not as cheerful as it might have been for others...

"Thanks for keeping me company Rarity, If you weren't here well, I don't know who I would be talking to," Rainbow dash says thankfully while watching the Wonder bolts practice intently.

"You would be talking to me." A voice proclaims suddenly. "Rainbow Dash, Spitfire's mom sent a message that she was sick, and she had to leave to take care of her," Soarin says with a worried and tired face.

"Oh no, I hope her mom is okay," Rainbow dash says worriedly. She only met her Marefriends mom once before, she was a nice mare that looked similar to her love. Clearly, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. She is as tough as her daughter than she'll be better in no time fast. With the watchful eye of her daughter of course. But this was also bad, Spitfire was going to miss the show, Rainbow Dash loved to see her mare soar with the wind going through her fire mane. The view of her strong muscles as they glided in the sky, was always a treat.

"Me too. But in the meantime, we need you, to fly in her place." Soarin points his blue hoof towards her.

"You like, mean in the show?" Rainbow Dash says surprised and still worried about her mare friend's mom.

"Yes," Soarin says neutrally.

"I won't let you down Soarin," and more importantly won't let Spitfire down thought Rainbow Dash with a squeal of excitement. She just couldn't keep it in, she was like a young filly in that regard. She just couldn't hold her excitement in that she flung off into the air dancing and squealing. This was a once in a life time opportunity after all.

"Ah, Rainbow Dash?" Soarin asks with worry still written deep onto his face.

"Just let her have this moment," Rarity replies with a smile adoring her face.

***

In the stadium, an older fire maned mare sat down, confused at not seeing her daughter up there.

"Hello there, Are you family?" Rarity asks smiling.

"My daughter is a Wonder bolt, but I, don't see her up there." The yelled mare claims cluelessly. "Do you know Spitfire?"

"Oh, you must be Spitfire's mom." Rarity confusedly states. "But she got a note from you that you were not feeling well."

"I never sent a note," Stormy flare states.

"Stormy Flare?" Soarin surprisingly says. "Aren't you supposed to be sick? Okay, what's happening."

"I don't know." Stormy flare looks down. "But I do know I didn't send my daughter a note"

"Who in the pony would send Spitfire a fake note," Rarity asks, thinking.

"Somepony who would want her out of the show, I think" Soraon states. Already thinking of a certain rainbow maned pegasus that would have plenty of motive to do so.

"But who would do that?" Rainbow asks, already feeling worry creep up her spine. Was Spit okay? Who would do such a cruel thing? She just couldn't place it. Her thoughts were interrupted from its on going chase.

"Maybe some pony that could take her spot." A voice says behind her, the withered voice of Wind Rider carrying to all the Wonder bolts ears. Every Wonder bolt glared menacingly at the young mare.

"What me!?!?" Squeaked Rainbow Dash. She would never do that to her mare friend, or anybody for that matter. She'd rather cut her wings off and never fly again than hurt her Spitfire.

Author's Note

Please be thoughtful, and don't be a jerk. There is a difference between friendly criticism and being a full out 💩. I do accept criticism, my grammar is horrible. That I already know, I have never written an MLP fanfiction. I have tried my best on this story, so I hope you enjoy, ofc there are some minor changes to fit my fanfictions. Don't mind them.

Also, let's be honest Rainbow Dash is such a freaking bottom, so I decided to convey that to my best ability. :pinkiehappy: This might be a series start or something.. I guess it depends on how it goes.

Sorry, but Im going to leave it on a cliffhanger for right now, I know so evil.. Muhaha. Until next time :)
