Jolt Awdry

Chapter 2

After the sun finally set in the far distances Jolt landed on a nearby cloud, as the golden light of the falling sun shined brightly it started to engulf Jolt in a warm and comfortable blanket of sunshine. Jolt soon found himself sinking into the cloud which he laid upon, he let out a long and powerful Yawn as he felt his eyes start to get heavier and heavier as in the next minute or two he was fast asleep. As he lay on the extremely comfortable cloud he started to snore silently as he dreamt about joining the wonder bolt’s, he dreamt that he soared beside Spit Fire and even the wonder bolt that he idolized the fast and fantastic Soarin, he dreamt that he was pulling of the famous Buckner Blaze as the mass crowd cheered beside him.

But before he could continue his wonderful fantasy he was shook awake by a blurry figure, “hey! Come on buddy get up!” the figure shouted in a fairly young voice as it started to lightly shake Jolt. Jolt then shook his head to try and wake himself up so he could get a better look at the figure “huh-…what’s going on?” Jolt asked with and hazed and tired voice. The blurry figure finally came into focus as it turned out to be yet another Pegasus; he had a light brown pelt and a dark brown mane with light red eyes, “come on man get up” the light brown Pegasus demanded as he continued to shake Jolt slightly. Jolt then pushed himself up as he then shook his head to make sure he was fully awake “why? I’m just sleeping here” Jolt told the slightly rude Pegasus. The light brown Pegasus just stared at him with his big red eyes with a confused look on his face “what? Are you serious? Dude you’re in the middle of a race track unless you want to be flown over I suggest you get up!” the Pegasus told Jolt as he then flew off the supposedly dangerous cloud and called for Jolt, demanding him to come over.

Jolt just stared at him as he was a bit skeptical about this Pegasus’s story about him sleeping on a race track “yeah right, this isn’t no race track! It’s just a cloud in the middle of the sky! Who do you think you are just waking me up and barking out order?” Jolt asked with a tired and very irritated voice. The light brow Pegasus just shook his head “if this isn’t a race track, then what the heck that coming towards you?” the Pegasus yelled at Jolt as he pointed his hoof toward some distant shapes. Jolt turned around and looked at the oncoming figures, it seemed that the closets one seemed to be a light blue as it started to get closer and closer. *BANG* a loud boom erupted from the figure as a rainbow like explosion burst from the light blue figure.

Jolt gasped silently as he quickly hoped to the cloud where the light brown Pegasus sat as he continued to yell and scream at Jolt as the light blue figure quickly zoomed by, it barely missed Jolt as it left a large bright rainbow trail behind it. The light brown Pegasus took a deep breath of relief “Record, Record Swoop” the Pegasus told Jolt, Jolt then looked up at the red eyed Pegasus and slightly tilted his head in confusion “wh- what?” Jolt asked him as he continued to try and regain his breath. The Pegasus then looked down at Jolt and stuck out his hoof so he could help him up “my name is Record, Record Swoop” Record told Jolt as he then helped Jolt up to his hooves’.

Jolt nodded slightly as he was still a little hazed after nearly escaping what could’ve been a serious accident, Record patted Jolt on the head with a slight grin on his face “so what’s a pony like you doing in the skies of the wonder bolts?” he asked him. Jolt then fixed his glasses and cleared his throat “I’m just looking for the wonder bolt camp” Jolt told Record Swoop. The grin on Record’s face then erupted in a humongous smile as he then burst out in tears and laughter “oh Celestia! You are going to wonder bolt camp? But I mean just look at yourself!” he told Jolt in between chuckles. Jolt just rolled his eyes at the rude Pegasus’s comment “I know I’ve heard it all before, but I’m going to at least try” he told Record Swoop with a strict voice.

Record just nodded quickly “okay then, if you really want to get yourself killed I guess I should welcome you” he told Jolt with a large smile witch riddled across his light brown face. Jolt just silently stared at him for a couple seconds before he finally asked “um welcome me where?” ,Record just rolled his eyes with a slight grin know on his face “to wonder bolt camp man, heck your standing right above it” he told Jolt. Jolt just looked around with a confused look ”uh what?-“ he asked before Record Swoop quickly pushed him off the cloud and sent him hurdling to the ground below. Jolt let out a terrified screech of pure fear as he then closed his eyes and covered his face, ”dude you can get up now” a voice told Jolt. Jolt then looked up from his hooves’ only to find that he had only fallen a couple feet and landed in front of a large gate with some of the wonder bolts posters dangling from the walls. Jolt then looked around and fully examined his surroundings “oh um, this wouldn’t happen to be wonder bolt camp?” he asked with an embarrassed grin, he then turned his head to look at the new voice which had spoken to him. And who was this voice; well it was the one and only Soarin the hero that Jolt had idolized since his days as a young colt.

Soarin then slowly nodded ‘yeah, and congratulations newbie you managed to embarrass yourself in front of every Pony at camp on your first day” he told Jolt as an eruption of laughter and mockery soon followed Soarin’s words. Jolt then sighed and pulled himself up “great…” he said in an annoyed voices Record then landed beside him with a large grin on his face and an innocent looking his eyes “what’s up?” He asked right before Jolt shot him a dirty look for causing him to be a huge laughing stock on the first day of camp. Record then quickly patted Jolts head “I can see this as the beginning of a beautiful friendship can’t you?” Record asked him, Jolt then sighed quietly “…sure”.
