A Link Between Destinies

It was a peaceful and sunny day in Ponyville. Everypony was feeling happy, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were on their adventures trying to find their cutie marks like always, Lyra and Bon-Bon were shopping and Berry Punch was fixing her hot air balloon. On the floor, they could see Tank, still recovering from the crash. Granny Smith was taking her afternoon walk and Big Macintosh could be seen fixing the barn back at Sweet Apple Acres. It was the fifth time this month that the barn's wall was crushed, making the life of Apple family even tougher than it is already.

On a green hill, right outside Ponyville, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy could be seen having fun, spending the day just like they want. Rarity, as always, had to bring something for her to sit on because she refused to sit on the grass like all the others. Fluttershy had brough a bag of animal food and was feeding every single critter she could find, too bad some weren't even hungry. Pinkie Pie was being random like always, jumping around, rolling on the floor and even baking some muffins.... like I said, random. Twilight was talking with Applejack, telling her to be more careful when bucking apples so that the barn's wall doesn't collapse. Applejack was still a bit embarrassed by that, she just wanted to break her own record but ended up kicking a rock that crossed the barn's wall.

Rainbow Dash was bragging about her new stunts and how the Wonderbolts were going to ask her to join them once they saw them. Everypony else just kept staring asking her how that would even work. They all doubted it would be so simple, but then again they were convinced that Dash could easily pull them off.

"Are you sure it's that simple? These things take time, it's not like they'll automatically call you a Wonderbolt once they see those new stunts", said Twilight.

"Hey, my new stunts are amazing, don't even doubt that! They've never seen anything like that, so they will have to ask me to join them as soon as they see the stunts."

"And what stunts are you exactly talking about?", said Rarity

"Do you remember the Sonic Rainboom? Of course you do. Now i can perform the Sonic Rainboom while flying upwards."

"WOW! Sounds cool! Is it like the one you performed at the wedding?", asked Pinkie Pie

"Actually, this one is performed by flying straight upwards"

Upon hearing that, they all looked at Rainbow Dash, some looked surprised and others showed disbelief on their looks, mostly disbelief.

"Really? But is that even possible? I mean, the Sonic Rainboom requires a lot of momentum, so much that it requires for you to reach the speed of sound. Not only gravity would slow you down, you also need strong wings that are able of propelling you at ridiculously high speeds.", said Twilight, trying to bring some logic into Rainbow's statement.

"Hey! If I say that I can do it, that means I can"

"But have you even tried?"

"Of course! You still doubt me? Then sit down because I'm gonna show it to you all", said Rainbow Dash, confident that her first time performing an upwards Sonic Rainboom would be successful.

Rainbow Dash prepared herself to perform the Sonic Rainboom and all the others sat down on the floor. All but Rarity, who used magic to bring a couch so that she could sit down and watch her friend performing the stunt.

"How about sitting on the grass like the rest of us?", asked Applejack, feeling a bit sick of Rarity's snob atitudes.

Nonetheless, they all stared at Rainbow Dash, looking forward to see that amazing upwards Sonic Rainboom. They were all pretty excited and they really wanted to see something that was considered to be scientifically impossible happen. Rainbow Dash postioned herself, she didn't want this to fail, even though she was pretty sure it would.

Dash took off and, surprisingly enough, she managed to reach a speed that was high enough for an air cone to form around her. Her speed increased at each second and eventually she performed the Sonic Rainboom while flying upwards. It was a gorgeous view from down there, at least while they could still see something. The light grew bigger and brighter, ending up blinding everypony that looked straight at it.

That bright light ended up fading completely, leaving only an orb of light in the place where Rainbow Dash performed the Sonic Rainboom, the only problem is that Rainbow Dash was nowhere to be seen.
