Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was now the day after, and Rainbow Dash was working her way through Paper Work with some help from her wing pony Scootaloo. The orange mare was insitant on helping out as Rainbow Dash wanted to go out on a date with Soarin later today.

"Hopefully we'll be able to finish this quickly." Scootaloo said.

"Yeah. I didn't think I'd want to date somepony, but Soarin...he just feels right you know?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Don't worry, I get it. I personally think Soarin Winds is the perfect choice for you, big sis." Scootaloo said. Rainbow Dash smiled. The two were sisters, that was for sure. Thanks to Twilight using the same spell on Scootaloo that she used on Rainbow Dash once Scootaloo was old enough. There was a knock at the door.

"It's open." Rainbow Dash said. A young mare soon entered the room.

"So, your Captain Rainbow Dash, am I right?" The mare asked.

"I know you. Your Lightning Dust right? We met a few years ago when you were just a little filly. You've grown quite a bit since then, you know." Rainbow Dash said.

"That's right. I'm actually here because of Crescent Moon's passing a few weeks ago." Lightning Dust said.

"Crescent Moon...he was a good manager. He understood the fact that Wonderbolts were ponies first, celebrities second." Rainbow Dash said. "He'll be missed for sure." She added.

"Well, it just so happens, I've taken the job offer to be the new Wonderbolts Manager." Lightning Dust said.

"Really? That's nice." Rainbow Dash said.

"So, what do you want to ask me?" Lighting Dust asked.

"...I beg your pardon?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, there's got to be an interview for the job somehow, right?" Lightning Dust said.

"Actually Lightning Dust, the way your going to land this job is a bit different." Rainbow Dash said.

"How so? Surely it can't be that different." Lightning Dust said.

"You'll get three weeks as the new Wonderbolts Manager. During that time, you will be allowed the same privileges as if you had the job but remember, no lineup changes without asking me first. That was part of the agreement between Crescent Moon and myself." Rainbow Dash said as Scootaloo handed Lightning Dust a sheet of paper listing the privileges on it.

"And what happens after those three weeks?" Lightning Dust asked.

"That depends on you. If you do a good enough job at filling Crecent Moon's shoes the right way, then you have the job locked in. And if not, your fired but you'll get compensated for your time spent. That's the way he wanted things to go after all. It was in his will and everything. He wants his replacement to share the same sentiments he did." Rainbow Dash said. Lightning Dust smiled.

"Crescent Moon was my idol growing up. I'll do what I can to live up to his memory." Lightning Dust said.

"Well then Lightning Dust, welcome to Wonderbolt HQ." Scootaloo said.

"So...would you like some help with that Paperwork? I bet there's someplace you'd like to be sooner rather than later." Lightning Dust said.

"...Lightning Dust, I have a feeling your going to be just fine here. We'll see how things go though." Rainbow Dash said.


Author's Note

Bit of a bonus episode to flesh out the world a bit more. I doubt anyone ever saw this coming.
