Chapter 1- Where it all started

Thanks to God for helping me make this.

Rainbow Dash opens the door of her cloud mansion, it is huge and made of white, puffy clouds. She had a very sad look on her face, her head hung low. She closes the door behind her with her hind hoofs and walks over to the couch. Then small, blue tears race down her eyes, she never cries and acts like a strong and tough pony, but today she got a letter saying she was rejected from joining the Wonderbolts, it was a dream of hers to join the Wonderbolts since she was a little filly. She even tried to impress them by flying so elegantly and fast.

Today her dreams was shattered, like glass. She started moaning and crying, a huge, wide and blue puddle form under her, Rainbow looked up, her eyes were red-shot, she wore one of the largest sad looks she ever made in her life. She sniffed and said, "I can't... b- believe.. I-... I was.. rejected.. from t.. th... the W.. Wonderbolts... they were my heroes, I. I..wanted to join them ever since I was a filly.." she looked down, and for a moment she said nothing and more tears race down her eyes. She felt like her heart shatter into a million pieces, her fillyhood dream, was ruined. She was more upset then when she found out that Santa Claus isn't real

Then, Rainbow Dash's eyes started to leak more tears, she started to cry a small stream of tears, then after a few minutes,
she then made an angry look on her face and said, "Screw them, I don't need them anyway, I am a great and radical flier in Equestria, I saved ponies lives, I saved a filly who was stuck on a well, I saved those Seniors that were falling to their deaths... they could hardly stop Spike when he grew into a giant dragon!"

Rainbow Dash smiled and looked up, sniffed and said, "Since.. my dreams are now ruined..." she was silent for a few seconds. More tears leaked from her eyes. She then continue, "I wanna find a new dream... to chase.. I want to spread my wings and chase a new dream!"

Rainbow Dash placed one of her hooves on her chin and was thinking for a while. She then said, "Baker"

She then shook her head and said, "Baking isn't really my thing... t.. that's.. more of Pinkie's thing!"

She then placed a hoof on her chin and said, "What about.. police force.."

She then shook her head and said, "Not interested!"

She then placed her hoof on her chin and thought to herself for a bit. Then after a few seconds, she said, "Oh, I know.. I can sell soda.." she had a joyful look on her face. Her grin started to grow again.

She then said, "I love soda, and it is sad that Princess Celestia banned it because of health risk and ponies fighting and causing problems cause of it, and since Princess Celestia thinks it is waste of bits!"

She then said with a joyful tone, "Also, who doesn't love soda!" she then closed her eyes and nodded her head.

She then said, "I will ask my friends if they want to join my operation, I can't do this alone, it is super risky.. and plus my friends will be more than happy to help me!"

She then walked outside and flew to find her friends like Pinkie Pie and Twilight. Rainbow Dash knew that Pinkie always hangs out in Sugar Cube Corner. She flies in the sky, the sky shining a blue and yellow hue, the yellow sun shining brighter than Rainbow Dash's teeth. She then looks on the ground for Sugar Cube Corner, after a few seconds of searching, she yelled in a prideful tone, "EUREKA!" she has found the restaurant. She then dashed down to the ground and hurried inside.

Rainbow Dash noticed Pinkie Pie was behind the counter making vanilla cupcakes. Rainbow Dash admires the craftsmanship of Pinkie Pie and how well she is doing. There was silence among them, Rainbow Dash said, "Hey Pinkie Pie!" she said walking up to Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie finished applying the vanilla frosting to one of cupcakes and she looked up and said, "Hey Dashie, did you get into the Wonderbolts?"

Rainbow Dash head hung down and shook her head. Pinkie Pie felt bad for making Rainbow Dash feel sad. She grabbed a cupcake and said, "Here, this will cheer you up!"

Rainbow Dash made a happy grin and grabbed the cupcake and ate it. She nodded her head as she much down on the cupcake. She then said, "The cupcake is good.." she nodded her head, after saying that!"

She then said, "Well, I was rejected, I couldn't join the Wonderbolts.. but I am going to chase after a new dream.. I will.. sell illegal soda.. I can make more bits and be famous. Maybe more famous than the Wonderbolts.."

Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow, she doesn't think that is really a good idea, and she is worried about the legal consequences that will happen if she chooses to go down this path and asked in a curious tone, "Are you sure you want to do that, it might not end well..."

Rainbow Dash nodded her head and said, "Yeah, I am a daredevil and I like breaking rules from time to time.. plus don't you like to make food and beverages, it is like a natural talent for you?"

Pinkie Pie had a shocked look on her face but eventually she then nodded her head and said, "Okay." right before she munch down a cupcake, that she made when Rainbow Dash entered the restaurant. She is happy to be helping her best friend, Dashie out!

Twilight then said, "Wow, writing Princess Celestia an essay about the elements of harmony and their meaning was tough, but I am glad that it is done and now I am free to relax!" she then noticed Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, they had a smile on their face and Rainbow Dash's heart was filled with pride.

Twilight then said, "Hi, Rainbow and Pinkie!"

Pinkie and Rainbow Dash said in unison, "Hi!"

Twilight then asked, "Did you get into the Wonderbolts.. you been waiting for an acceptance for two weeks, you wouldn't stop checking your mailbox every five minutes?"

Rainbow Dash sighed and said, "No, I was rejected but I don't care, they are just a bunch of overrated Pegasus that does air stunts.. I am better than them I am the fastest flier and saved many ponies lives, they couldn't even stop Spike when he grew very big and was on a rampage!"

Twilight chuckled and said, "True, what are you going to do now that your dreams were crushed?" she said raising an eyebrow. She is curious on what Rainbow Dash will do.

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and said," I will start a new shop... where I sell... illegal soda.. I can make quick bits and become famous, maybe more famous then the Wonderbolts.. you never know, also to mention.. who doesn't love soda?"

Pinkie Pie yelled, "Me too... it taste sooooooooo sweet... and it taste like a dream.. It is such a shame that Princess Celestia banned soda... right right? why does everything we like get banned... is Princess Celestia a dictator?"

Twilight said, "Rainbow... I- I don' think you should be doing this.."

Rainbow Dash said, "Chillax, I got everything covered.. plus I am sneaky and fast so if I get caught I can make a quick escape. Also join me, the benefits will be worth it.. you are my best friend and I really.. really need your help! A true friend does help a friend in need!"

Twilight thinks for a moment, she doesn't want to get caught, be thrown in prison and then risks losing Princess Celestia as her mentor.. but she likes soda and thinks it was unjustifiably banned."

Twilight said, "Well, fine.. but if anything happens, I am going to be honest and say that it was your idea, Dashie!"

Rainbow Dash nodded her head. She then said, "Wait here, I am going to ask some ponies if they want to join too.. we shall make a liar were we make the soda.. in Twilight's secret basement... because why not and I think that is a good spot for our operation!"

Pinkie said, "Okay, Dashie!" she had a jolly look on her face. She can't wait to start the operation, she had a mix look on her face, half worried and half courageous.

chapter 2- Recruitment

She walked outside and then had a thought. She then said, "I can ask Apple Jack, to join my illegal soda business.. she owns a farm and she can be like.. my supplier..." she nodded her head. She is impressed that she came up with an excellent idea.

She then spread her wings, and took off to Sweet Apple Anchors, white and Puffy clouds greeted her, so did the yellow sun sitting in the sky. The blue hue of the sky greeted her too, as she was flying. Rainbow Dash was flying very fast, so fast she is leaving behind a rainbow trail in the sky, there was a long and thick rainbow in the sky. Ponies on the ground can hear a "ZAP!" sound on the sky. They are curious why Rainbow Dash is in such a hurry since she isn't usually in a rush. But then after what seemed to feel like forever, she reached Sweet Apple Anchors, She hovers in the air, sweat was rushing down her face, she had a tired look on her face.

The place smelled like apple pie, She saw Apple Jack bucking Apple trees, she had a happy and determined look on her face. To her left, there lies a small and brown basket that had a pile of crispy, round, and red apples. To her right, there was another apple tree, but the tree was filled with green apples instead of red apples like the tree Apple Jack was bucking. Rainbow Dash flew down to the ground quickly, she had a happy look on her face. She watches as Apple Jack bucks the tree and the apples fell to the brown, and muddy ground or in the basket. She walked over to Apple Jack, she took a deep breath and said, "Hey Apple Jack!"

"Hi, Rainbow Dash, what do ya need?" Apple Jack responded in a happy tone.

Rainbow Dash replied with a sad look and tone, "So, I didn't get to join the Wonderbolts..."

Apple Jack stopped bucking apples and walked over to Rainbow Dash and placed a hoof on her shoulder and said, "Oh, ya sorry to hear that!"

Rainbow Dash then slowly cracked a smile and said, "Well, I decided to chase after a new dream!"

Apple Jack raised an eyebrow, she was curious what dream Rainbow Dash will chase.. She then asked in a curious tone, "What new dream will you chase?"

Rainbow Dash said, "Selling soda.. who doesn't love soda. I love that stuff, also it was unjustifiably banned by Princess Celestia!"

Apple Jack made a shocked look on her face, she then frowned and said, "But Rainbow, it's... illegal!" she is worried that Rainbow Dash will get in huge trouble, is she chooses to go through with this new plan of hers. She made a worried look on her face

Rainbow Dash chuckled and said, "Yes but.. you forgot I am a daredevil... and how I like to break rules all of the time.. plus who doesn't love soda.. also look at the bigger picture.. if you join this.. you can give me fruits to make soda flavors, and we can share the bits.. that... we make... also, you will make a ton of bits... and you will have so many bits that you can expand your business and make more farms which will help you produce more stuff and earn more bits! you want that, don't you?"

Apple Jack's eyes sparkle as she imagines her sitting in a giant pile of hard and yellow bits, behind her are hundreds of barns. There was a line of ponies holding brown sacks of bits. Then, shortly after, Princess Celestia gave her a big, and white piece of paper that is protected by glass. The piece of paper read, "World Record for most sucessful business made.." Apple Jack had a big smile on her face, her green eyes were sparkling. Apple Jack then nodded her head.

"Count me in, Rainbow!" Apple Jack said in a happy and prideful tone. She is willing to join. She can't wait to make a ton of bits and make more barns to produce more stuff, then make more and more bits!

Rainbow Dash said, "Apple Jack, grab some buckets of fruits, go to Sugarcube Corner and tell the others to go to Twilight's house and wait for me inside Twilight's secret basement!"

Apple Jack placed a hoof on her forehead and said, "Okay, Dashie!" She removed her hoof from her forehead, she then started collecting buckets of fruits, after all that was done, she galloped. She had a happy look on her face.

Rainbow Dash then walked to Fluttershy's cottage. She looks around, she sees no clouds or anything that will ruin the perfect day. The bright yellow sun was shining, the blue and yellow hue shined in the sky. She hopes to convince Fluttershy to join the illegal soda company, along with her. She then asked herself, "Wait, what can Fluttershy do?"

She then thinks to herself as she thinks of a good role for Fluttershy. She looks left and right admiring the green grass, the red and blue flowers sitting in the ground, not to mention some ponies like a mare with purple coat and a purple mane sleeping. She has a small smile on her face. She then said, "Well, I could.. let her make the soda and pour it into the bottle!" she nodded her head, she finally decided what role to give Fluttershy. She then arrived on the front door of Fluttershy's cottage. it looked brand new, it was made of wood and it smelt like the forest. Then, Rainbow Dash knocked on the door with her hoof and said, "Fluttershy.. you in there?"

"I am coming!" Fluttershy responded in a gentle tone. Rainbow Dash can hear footsteps inside the house that sounds like Fluttershy is going downstairs. She waited patiently for Fluttershy to open the door. She had an annoyed look on her face, she was tapping her hooves on the ground. She then rolled her eyes.

After what seemed like forever, the door opened. Angel and Fluttershy were seen, Fluttershy had a tired look on her face and Angel had an impatient look on his face, Fluttershy yawned and said, "Sorry Dash... I was late feeding and taking care of animals.. so what do you need, Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and said, "Well, I didn't manage to join the Wonderbolts.. I decided to chase a new dream.." she had a happy smirk on her face and her magenta eyes were sparkling. There was a short silence among the ponies.

"I decided to open a company that sells soda!" Rainbow Dash continued in a happy look and tone. She had a huge smile on her face. She then nodded her head after she said that.

Rainbow Dash then said, "I want you to join me.." she had a huge smile on her face, her eyes are glowing, she also had a happy look on her face. Fluttershy had a curious and worried look on her face. She is unsure of what choice to make. She wants to support Rainbow Dash and help her achieve her dreams, she feels a small dose of sadness for Rainbow because she didn't manage to join the Wonderbolts, the career she wanted to have for such a long time, even when she was a filly.. However, she didn't want to participate because soda is illegal, she didn't want to get in trouble with the law or even be exiled from Ponyville forever because of this.. She had a shocked look on her face.

Sweat race down her head. Fluttershy took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash but I don't want to be part of this.. it seems so risky!"

Rainbow Dash then had a sad look on her face and said, "But I helped you learn how to fly great like me!"

Fluttershy rolled her eyes, then said in an angry tone, "Yes, but this is wrong.."

Rainbow Dash groaned and said, "Well, you got to help me now.. I helped you in Flight School and... defended you against those bullies!" she had an angry look on her face, she is upset that Fluttershy doesn't want to join her, even after everything she did for her.

Fluttershy, being assertive said, "True, but I don't want to help you commit a crime... I am sorry but the answer is no!" Fluttershy turns around, Angel blew a raspberry, then after a few seconds, she could hear the door being slammed closed.

Fluttershy walked inside, she had a very angry look on her face, she then groaned, "I can't believe Rainbow Dash wants me to help her commit a crime, just because the Wonderbolts didn't accept her.." Angel nodded his head, he too thinks Rainbow Dash is being dumb by wanting to do this. He then grabs a long, orange, and juicy carrot and nibbles on it. He hasn't eaten much in a while.

Fluttershy then continued to rant while in an angry tone and look, "I am not risking my.. future and my home in Ponyville to help someone do something scandalous!"

Meanwhile outside of Fluttershy's cottage, Rainbow Dash turned around, she had an angry look on her face, her face started to glow a little red. She then took a deep breath and said, "Maybe Rarity will join my company.. plus Fluttershy will just ruin everything and will turn us in.." she then walked to Rarity's boutique. She walks up to the front door and rings the bell.

"Coming!" Rarity yelled from inside the building, Rainbow Dash could hear hoofsteps from inside, getting closer and closer to the front door. She had a patient look on her face but she was a bit mad about her argument with Fluttershy. Rarity then opened the door, she had a curious tone on her face.

She then said, "Oh hi, miss Dash.. what do you need?" she is a bit confused since she never comes here and Rainbow Dash looked a bit angry. Rarity waited for Rainbow Dash to answer.

Rainbow Dash then said, "Well, I didn't join the Wonderbolts, I was rejected.. I am chasing a new dream, selling soda!"

Rarity then raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you selling soda, don'y you know it is illegal?" she had a shocked look on her face.

Rainbow Dash then answered, "Everypony loves soda, plus I can make a ton of bits, taxes are getting a bit higher and you could use an extra... helping of bits."

Rarity then shook her head and said, "Sorry no.. this is illegal and I have no interest in partaking this.. this could ruin my and my business's reputation... I don't want to risk anything... partaking in this will also will make it harder for me to get any sells, here in ponyville and Manehatten!"

Rainbow Dash sighed a defeated sigh and said, "Okay!" she then walked away with her head hung low, she had a sad look on her face. Rarity closed the door and laid down.

When Rarity laid down she asked, "Why would Rainbow do this.. what's gotten into that pony's mind?"

Rainbow Dash flew to Twilght's house in a hurry, ponies on the ground could hear sounds that sounded like zapping. Rainbow Dash flew so fast that she left behind a beautiful, rainbow trail on the blue sky. Rainbow Dash had a determined look on her face and her rainbow mane is flowing in the air. She can't wait to start her new dream, become famous and even make a ton of bits.

Chapter 3- start

Rainbow Dash arrived at Twilight's home, the sun was still sitting in the sky. Twilight's home was a giant tree, there is a balcony, the giant, green and bush leaves were everywhere and brought a nice touch to Twilight's home. She walks inside, she saw Twilight's books on the shelf, the purple couch, the hidden door, the stairs that leads you upstairs. She admired Twilight's decor for a while, she then looks around, she is looking for the secret basement in Twilight's home. After a moment, she found it, it was below the giant purple carpet with Twilight's cutiemark on the carpet. She opened the secret basement hatch and went downstairs. She saw nothing but darkness, she turns on the switch and sees Twilight with a happy look, Apple Jack with a prideful look on her face, Pinkie Pie had a goofy look on her face. There were ten buckets of fruits and other secret ingredients. Apple Jack said in a happy tone, "I did what you wanted, Dashie!"

Twilight asked in a curious tone, "What are roles?" Rainbow Dash took a moment to think, she wanted to assign roles based on their talents and abilities, after a while. Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and glared at the three mares.

Rainbow Dash replied in a commanding tone, "Twilight.. you will be the supervisor, Apple Jack will be the supplier..." after hearing this Apple Jack and Twilight nodded their heads, they also had a happy look on their face. They are happy to start their roles as supplier and supervisor!

Pinkie Pie asked in a curious tone, "So, what is my.. role?" she had a curious look on her face.

Rainbow Dash said, "You can produce illegal soda.."

Pinkie Pie's smile got wider and wider. She had a huge happy look on her face. She then nodded their head and said, "Okay, Dashie!"

Rainbow Dash then said in a commanding tone, "Now, get to work.. we will split the bits we make.. every week.."

Apple Jack, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie nodded their heads and started to work. Twilight watch as Pinkie Pie pour fruit juice and the secret ingredients into the glass, transparents bottles. Apple Jack was counting the fruit in their supply basket. She said, "We have plenty.. it should last around.. 3 weeks... we have 420 quantities of fruits and supplies.."

Rainbow Dash then said, "I will be back, I will ask if anypony would be our first consumer.."

Twilight then said, "Okay!" she also had a worried look on her face. She hopes to not be caught making illegal soda and facing severe consequences. Twilight cracked a small frown on her face.

Rainbow Dash walked out of the secret basement and closed the hatch and dragged the carpet over the hatch and walked away. She then walked out of the room, she spread her wings and started flying, the sky started shining a beautiful purple and yellow hue. The sun was stepping down from the sky, Rainbow Dash looked around and was searching for her first consumer.
