The story of Thunder Bolt starts back as a young colt, born in the poor part of Cloudsdale his parents Mr and Mrs Bolt where not able to afford much and lived in a very small house and could hardly pay of the rent. By age 8 Thunder’s parents saved up enough bits to get Thunder into the Cloudsdale Flight Academy, this was Thunders happiest moment of his life as a young colt. Thunders time at the academy got him new friends two of them where Derpy Hooves and Rainbow Dash but his two best friends he made where Spitfire and Soarin. By the end of his first year at the academy Thunders parents died in a horrifying accident witch cased there house to cave in while Thunder was at school when Thunder found out he was forced to move out of Cloudsdale and had to move into his grandparents who lived in Manehatten in which case Thunder could no longer attend the Academy and never got to see his Friends again.
Five Years later Thunder got his cutie mark by Flying so fast it caused a Huge storm over Manehatten during a sky clearing on winter wrap up it only took Thunder 1.2 Seconds to clear the sky from 870 clouds. This caused Thunder to break the world record for fastest cloud clearing and got to meet the wonderbolts as a reward. Throughout the next seven years Thunder met a lot of wonderful ponies, by the time Thunder moved out of Manehatten he was a fully grown Stallion before he chose where he’d live he went back to visit Cloudsdale where he reunited with is best friends Spitfire and Soarin, by that time they were two of the wonderbolts. He also met Rainbow Dash again who didn’t believe Thunder when he told her his story about how fast he can fly so Rainbow made a bet against Thunder that he couldn’t beat her so he took that bet and the crowed that showed up at the Cloudsdale race track was gigantic. All eyes were on Rainbow Dash everyone knowing that she would win, as the race started Thunder didn't start and let Rainbow get a head start which confused the whole crowd and just meters before Rainbow Dash got to the finish line Thunder started and he flashed like a bolt right past Rainbow lost the race just like that and she was amazed at the speed of Thunder as it shocked all of Cloudsdale including the wonderbolts. Thunder Bolt was given an invitation to join the Wonderbolts Academy witch he accepted proudly and he decided that he would move back to Cloudsdale after 12 years of being away from his true home. Before he left to go to the academy Thunder visited the grave of his parents and this was very emotional for Thunder as he left he placed a bunch of flowers on their grave.
As he walked away a tear fell from his eye and Thunder tried to keep his emotions inside him but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't keep it inside him as he got to his new home he started crying while staring at a picture of his parents as he cry’s himself to sleep. The next morning Thunder got up and started to pack his things to leave for the academy.
