Rainbow Dash has finally managed to score a position for the annual Wonderbolts tryouts. Being an ace athlete and performer of the fabled 'Sonic Rainboom' as well as bunch of other stuff, she figures she's got in in the bag. But when she gets to the interview phase, she is put on the spotlight and shot down when it's discovered that she's a flight academy dropout.

Humiliated, shamefaced, and just plain feeling dumb, Rainbow realizes there's only one thing to do if she's to ever have another chance at her dream. She must attempt a feat even more impossible than a double...no, a TRIPLE rainboom.

She has to go back to school.
