"Now, what have we learned?" Rainbow Dash asks Fluttershy flying around her in an open field.

"Loss of control." Fluttershy answered.

"Good."

"Screaming and hollering."

"Yes, and most importantly?"

"Passion!"

"Right! So now that you know the elements of a good cheer, let's hear one." Dash ordered landing near Fluttershy.

"Yay." Fluttershy cheered quietly doing the complete opposite of a cheer.

"...Ugh. You're gonna cheer for me like that? Louder." Dash ordered again with Fluttershy repeating the process.

"Yay."

"Louder!"

"Yay."

"LOUDER!" Dash screams. Fluttershy takes a very deep breath to get ready.

"Yaay." Fluttershy still did it softly giving herself a proud smile. Dash groaned in exhaustion and lets herself collapse to the ground.

"...Too loud?" Fluttershy asked unaware of how quiet she was. But for what purpose does Dash want Fluttershy to cheer her on for?

-Main music plays-

Dash stands on a cloud preparing herself to practice some daring stunts. Fluttershy stays on the ground to practice her cheering.

"Yay." Fluttershy cheers still softly. Dash takes a deep breath and jumps off the cloud and flys down fast gaining speed as she goes down.

"And now, phase one of my routine." Dash said to herself and starts making quick turns on a row of trees and swiftly passes by Fluttershy.

"Whoo." Fluttershy still can't get the loud cheering Dash wanted. Dash takes up for the air to prepare her next move.

"Phase two." Dash said and takes off to three clouds spinning them in a gears fashion. Fluttershy was getting dizzy by the spinning.

"Way to go." Fluttershy cheered too quiet for Dash to hear.

"Here we go. Phase three. The sonic rainboom." Dash said as she gets enough altitude to dive for the ground. As she goes a force does everything it can to try and prevent Dash from achieving the goal. Fluttershy looks up in awe watching the event.

"C'mon! [grunt]" Dash does everything she can to try and get the stunt done and came close but the force was too strong for her to overcome.

"Uh-oh. [scream]" Dash shouts as the force slingshots her up into the air leaving Fluttershy resting her hoof on her mouth in worry. Meanwhile at the library in Ponyville Zach Lanson, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie help clean up the place organizing and placing the books in it's proper area.

"[sigh] Last one. Thank you so much for helping me clean up all these books guys. It was a crazy week of studying." Twilight thanked.

"But it was all worth it, now that we're finally done." Zach added. Suddenly they hear screaming coming from outside and sees Dash zooming right at them through the open window. The group and Dash braced themselve for what's to come as they crashed making a total mess of the library again.

"Rainbow Dash, you rock! Woohoo. [gasp] Did my cheering do that?" Fluttershy gasped.

"What? Nevermind, Dash, what were you thinking? Now we have to start over again!" Zach shouted in annoyance.

"Hehe. Sorry about that guys. That was a truly feeble performance." Dash scolded.

"Actually, it wasn't all bad. I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin." Fluttershy complimented.

"Ugh. I'm not talking about my performance, I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering!" Dash corrected.

"What are you two arguing about?" Twilight asked.

"Were we arguing? I'm sorry." Fluttershy apologized.

"[grunt] I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see me compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition." Dash admitted.

"What's that?" Twilight asked.

"It's where all the greatest Pegasus flyers get together and show off their different flying styles! Some are fast! [makes car sounds] And some are graceful." Pinkie tried to do some balance dancing but finds herself losing her balance and falls into the piles of books.

"Golly. I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition." Applejack admitted.

"Yeah. I wish you guys could be there. Fluttershy's a great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational." Dash pointed out which made Fluttershy dissapointed at herself.

"OOH! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom! It's like, the most coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, but I mean COME ON! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be?!" Pinkie said as she jumps up and down excitedly.

"Sonic Rainboom, why does that sound familiar?" Zach said to himself.

"What's a sonic rainboom?" Twilight asked.

"You really need to get out more. The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going soo fast... BOOM! A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once!" Pinkie explained.

"OH, that sonic rainboom! The trick where when you go fast enough, not only can you break the sound barrier, but the color barrier too! Remember, Twilight?" Zach remebered. Twilight pondered for a moment.

"Hmmm, oh, now I remember. Rainbow herself explained." Twilight rembered as well.

"And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony to ever pull it off!" Applejack reminded.

"It was a long time ago... I was just a filly." Dash stated.

"Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?" Pinkie asked which made Dash hesitated.

"Are... you kidding? I'm the greatest flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale! I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep." Dash assured confidently.

"Wow. If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!" Twilight assumed.

"The grand prize is an entire day with the Wonderbolts. A whole day of flying with my life-long heroes... It'll be a dream come true!" Dash said with hope and excitement in her eyes.

"Yay." Fluttershy cheered in the soft voice which was really annoying Dash.

"Okay, I see what you mean." Zach whispered to Dash understanding the problem.

"I'm gonna go rest up. Don't wanna over prepare myself, y'know. Hehe. YOU, on the other hand, better keep practicing. I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance." Dash said to Fluttershy confidently as she takes off leaving. Fluttershy made sure Dash was far away enough to tell the truth to the group about Dash's progress.

"She's practiced that move a hundred tims, and she's never even come close to doing it. I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her." Fluttershy admitted before leaving herself.

"Well, guess we better get this cleaned up... Again." Twilight rolled her eyes annoyingly but Rarity had a different idea and poked Twilight with her horn.

"Go on, go on." Rarity urged.

"Go on what?" Twilight asked confusingly.

"Find a spell that will get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale. Didn't you see how nervous she was?"

"Nervous? Have you spit yer bit or somethin'? She was tootin' her own horn louder then the brass section of a marching band!" Applejack said.

"Oh, puh-lease. I have put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it. We've got to find a way to be there for her. Now go on!" Rarity urged Twilight again bumping her hips to Twilight sending her flying into another pile of books.

"How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess? Besides, ask Zach, he's the one who's been practicing the flight spell more than me." Twilight pointed out.

"Well, I guess I can try, but I haven't actually perfected the spell to see if it's stable or not. Plus, I need the book that contains it so I can cast it, and it's going to take a long time to find it." Zach said.

"A flight spell? One sec. Page twenty-seven." Pinkie rushed off and grabbed a book that has the spell and tosses it to Zach.

"How'd you do that?" Applejack asked in surprise.

"It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase." Pinkie answered.

"Here it is! A spell that will allow Earth ponies to fly for three days. But like I said, I haven't really perfected the spell completely... I'm not sure I can do it today." Zach reminded.

"You've got to try!" Rarity urged.

"Okay... But who's gonna volunteer to be the test subject?" Zach asked. Each pony looks at each other to see who will go first. Rarity thought for a moment and made up her mind.

"I will! For Rainbow Dash, I will go first." Rarity said.

"Here goes." Zach said as he summoned his unicorn horn and concentrates as hard as he could on Rarity as a blue aurora began surrounding Rarity. Zach grunts as the spell becomes very difficult for him to control. A ball of energy suddenly comes between them and bursts into a bright flash of light sending Zach to the ground. Soon as the light cleared the groups vision refocuses and Zach gets back up to see a beautiful creation with lights in different colors surround the room.

"What do you know? Success!" Zach said tiredly as he and the others look at Rarity in awe. The next morning Dash and Fluttershy make their way to Cloudsdale to prepare for the competition.

"You've got to learn to be assertive, Fluttershy. Don't be afraid to speak up." Dash assured as the clouds move away to reveal the magnificent floating cloud city in the sky in a greek style culture with rainbow waterfalls on the sides. It was booming with life as pegasi roam and fly all over the city getting readyfor the contest.

"Well well well. What do we have here?" a dark brown male pegasus with a light blonde bang mane and tail with a weight cutie mark next to two more male pegasi with the same mane style asked smugly as Dash and Fluttershy lands near them.

"It's our old friend, Rainbow Crash!" a yellow pegasus with a dark brown mane and tail with a three basketball cutie mark insulted next to the first pegasus and a gray pegasus with a black mane and tail with three footballs as a cutie mark.

"Get kicked outta any flight schools lately?" the first pegasus insulted and the three laughed.

"I didn't get kicked out." Dash assured sharply.

"Face it, Rainbow Crash. Flight school had too many rules, and not enough naptimes for you." the first said rudely.

"Huh, ask her about the sonic rainboom." the second said.

"That's nothing but an old mare's tale. You don't have the skills to try something like that."

"Now wait just a minute! Oh, I'm sorry. I'm trying to be more assertive. Anyhow... she is going to do a sonic rainboom!" Fluttershy assured.

"No she's not, 'cause there's no such thing!" the first said

"Then show up at the Cloudseum and see for yourself!... If you're free." Fluttershy quickly turned her assertivness back into shyness which made the three laugh.

"Yeah, I'll be free." the second promised.

"Oh, don't worry. We'll be there!" the first assured.

"See you then, Rainbow Crash!" the second insulted again as the three flew off.

"Did you see that? I was so assertive!" Fluttershy said proudly.

"[sigh] Those guys are right. I'll never be able to do it." Dash said losing hope.

"But Rainbow Dash. Just because you've failed the sonic rainboom a hundred thousand times in practice doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in front of an entire stadium, full of impatient, super-critical sportsfan ponies." Fluttershy tried to cheer Dash up but just made it worst for her as she thinks about the pressure that would get to her.

"Aaaaaah! What do I do?! Every pony's gonna see me fail! The Wonderbolts will never let a loser like me join. Princess Celestia will probably banish me to the Everfree Forest! My life is ruined!" Dash cried dramatically.

"...Rare..." Fluttershy sees something amazing which made her agaped.

"Rare?! The sonic rainboom is WAY more than rare!" Dash misunderstood.

"Rarity?" Fluttershy finished and pointed at something which made Dash turned to see one of her friends Rarity flying with beautiful colorful gossamer wings which made her mouth agaped in shock as well.

"Rarity! Are you... flying?!" Dash barely asked.

"I most certainly am! Aren't my wings smashing?! Zach made them for me. I just adore them! Why so shocked? We couldn't leave our favorite flyer without a big cheering section!" Rarity said.

"We?" Dash asked as another surprise rises from below the clouds to reveal her other friends in a hot air balloon.

"Hello!" Zach greeted happily.

"I... I can't believe it!" Dash said surprisingly.

"It's incredible!" Fluttershy added.

"This is so cool! You guys made it!" Dash said.

"Sure did!" Pinkie said as the balloon landed and jumped off.

"WAIT!" Dash tried to warn but it was too late as Pinkie lands on the cloud expecting her to fall right through. But she didn't she was standing right there smiling. The other wingless ponies except for Zach who is now a pegasus jumped out and landed on the clouds as well standing just fine.

"How'd you do that? Only Pegasus ponies can walk on clouds." Dash pointed out.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Pinkie asked as she does some cart wheels on the clouds.

"I found a spell that makes temporary wings, but it was too difficult for Zach to do more than once. So I found an easier spell that lets the rest of us walk on clouds." Twilight explained.

"And we came to cheer you to victory!" Applejack said.

"To be honest, I was starting to get just a teeniest, tiniest bit nervous. But I feel a LOT better now that you guys are here." Dash admitted.

"Well I'm glad we came to help you out. Besides, it was Rarity's idea. You should thank her." Zach pointed out.

"Aw, thanks guys. Hey, we've got some time before the competition. Why don't Fluttershy and I show you around Cloudsdale?" Dash offered and the gang cheered in agreement as Dash and Fluttershy lead them into the city.

"Here it is: the greatest city in the sky!" Dash showed the greek architectured cloud city as the gang gasped in awe. Rarity does it too only to herself in the mirror admiring herself and her precious wings which made Dash confused.

"Uhh... Some of the greatest Pegasi in history came from Clousdale!" Dash continued as they resumed their tour around the place. Rarity notices she was getting left behind and abandoned her mirror adorning.

"Oh, wait for me!" Rarity called out as she flys to catch up. Some pegasi construction workers were building on a new structure until they were distracted by Rarity's wings.

"Those wings are gorgeous!" one of the workers complimented.

"Why, thank you!" Rarity thanked as she flys by.

"By the way, you dropped your jackhammer!" Zach pointed out snapping the workers out of their trance. Zach was not at all amused or impressed by Rarity's showing off.

"Be careful with those wings Rarity. They're made from gossamer and morning dew, and they're incredibly delicate." Twilight warned.

"Don't worry Twilight. I'm sure they can't get worn out from too much attention?" Rarity joked which made Zach rolled his eyes.

"Since we're up here, I'd sure like to get a look at where the weather's made." Applejack mentioned.

"Great idea! C'mon gang. To the weather factory!" Dash said. The weather factory had many weather anomalies such as rainbows, snow, thunderclouds, and wind. The group entered the snow wing first with weather suits on.

"This is where they make the snowflakes. Each one is hoofmade. As you can see, it's a delicate operation." Dash said.

"[gasp] Ooh, the snowflakes look even better from up here." Rarity said as she flys up to check out the bigger snowflakes that are hanging on the ceiling. Her giant wings began making large gusts of winds which was making the snowflakes that the workers carved and study fly away. They all grumbled groaned in frustration as they try to catch as many snowflakes as they could before they break like glass.

"We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and causes a drought." Dash advised as a snowflake breaks like glass in front of her on the ground. They moved on to the rainbow section of the factory where they stir up the colors in waterfalls and pools of liquid rainbows.

"And here's where they make the rainbows!" Dash said. Pinkie comes across a rainbow pool and dips her hoof in it to have a sample to see what it takes like. As she licks it her face began glowing in multiple colors as some fire comes out of her mouth.

"Spicyyyyyy!..." Pinkie squeals as she runs to find something cold. The gang laugh at Pinkie's misfortune.

"Yeah, rainbows aren't really known for their flavor." Dash pointed out and heard a familiar voice speculating about something.

"Oh, where'd you get those amazing wings? I want a pair!" it was the pegasi who have been bullying Dash earlier admiring over Rarity's gossamer wings as she flys over them.

"Oh hey look, it's Rainbow Crash again!" the first pegasus noticed.

"Heheheyeah! Rainbow... Umm... Eyah... Crash!" the second pegasus struggled to insult.

"Who are these guys?" Zach whispered in anger.

"Some friends of mine from flying school." Dash answered.

"Oh." Zach nodded getting her sarcasm.

"Rarity! What're you doing talking to these guys?" Dash asked in disbelief.

"Oh, they were just admiring my wings Rainbow Dash." Rarity assured.

"Yeah, you should forget the sonic rainboom and just get yourself some wings like these!" the first pegasus said which made the others laugh.

"At least she can do it, and is a part of the competition, unlike you clowns!" Zach repelled and it was the others turn to laugh which made the three pegasi flinch.

"Y-yeah? W-well... atleast we are better athletes than her! Anyway, point is, she dosen't stand a chance! See ya later, Rainbow Crash!" the first pegasus insulted again and they fly away laughing which made Dash moap in sadness.

"Uhh... C'mon boy and girls. Why don't we go see how clouds are made? Don't listen to them. You're gonna win that competition for sure!" Fluttershy cheered to Dash.

"Are you kidding? I can't DO the sonic rainboom, and just look at these boring, plain old feathered wings. I'm doomed!" Dash cried and the others looked at each other with worried looks on each of them. Soon they come across the cloud making section where they convert water into steam into clouds. Soon the gang hears comotions going nearby and sees a crowd gathering around Rarity looking over her wings.

"Why, these old things? Go ahead everypony. Photos are encouraged." Rarity assured.

"Rarity. We're supposed to be helping Rainbow Dash relax, remember? Put your wings away and stop showing off!" Twilight scolded.

"Oh pfft. How can you ask me to put away perfection?" Rarity asks as she flys up into the air and opens her wings in front of the sunlight by accident and shines the colors of the wings down emitting lights to the ground making everyone gasped in awe. Rarity cheered to herself in joy.

"What have I done? I've created a monster." Zach muttered. Twilight then notices Dash cowering to the ground in fear.

"Rainbow Dash. Are you ok? You don't look so good." Twilight asked in worry.

"[Panting] Of course! Why wouldn't I be ok? Everyone's so in love with Rarity's wings that they won't even notice when I totally blow it in the Best Young Flyer's Competition." Dash said in panic.

"Hey! There's an idea! YOU should enter the competition!" a female working pegasus suggested.

"Yeah! I could watch you fly all day long!" an elder pegasus agreed.

"There really isn't anypony who uses their wings quite like me. Perhaps I should compete." Rarity accepted thoughtlessly.

"WHAT?!" Dash screamed in horror. Zach had enough of Rarity's selfishness and flew up in fury.

"Rarity! WHAT are you doing? We're suppose to support Dash, not get YOU in to the contest!" Zach reminded sharply.

"Oh, come on, Zach. I'm just entering to do my own performance, not to beat Rainbow Dash." Rarity stated overconfidently.

"But you are going to beat her! With these... these... things, you're going to beat her by a LANDSLIDE!"

"You make it sound like these beauties are a monstrosity."

"They are!" Zach yelled which made everyone gasped in horror.

"I thought these things were one of my greatest successes... I was wrong. They're nothing but a... a... Fashion disaster!" Zach stated which made everyone gasped again even louder.

"[overdramatic gasp] How dare you talk about my precious wings that way?" Rarity scolded.

"Excuse me, they aren't your wings, I made them, I gave them to you!"

"Well, they're a part of me now! So if you excuse me, I have to prepare myself for the competition!" Rarity said as she flys away with a rejected manor leaving Zach with a furiated look with the crowd following Rarity in awe.

"What am I gonna DO?! I'll never win the competition now..." Dash said with a depressed face with the others looking in worry. Later that afternoon the group along with a whole audience of pegasi in the cloud coliseum as the contestants along with Dash and Rarity prepare themselves for their turns. Dash however wasn't at all prepared for what's to come. One of the coliseum members knocked on the door where Rarity is getting herself ready.

"I'm going to be awhile!" Rarity opened the door as she blows on her sparkling hoof adn closes the door. Dash opens the curtains to see her friends cheering on one of the cloud seats while the bully pegasi are laughing below them which made Dash gulped.

"Fillies and gentlecolts! Please rise and join me in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia!" the announcer said and the crowd cheers for Princess Celestia landing on a cloud seat saved for her with two guards by her sides and waved to the crowd.

"Please welcome our celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyer Competition. The Wonderbolts!" the announcer called as six members of the Wonderbolt squad fly up in the air and created a firework which made the crowd cheered excitedly even making Dash put out a smile. They landed on their seats ready to watch the show.

"And now, let's find out who will take the prize as this year's best young flyer!" the announcer commenced the start of the contest.

"Ok contestant number one, you're up." a coliseum member said as the first contestant made her way out for the stadium. Dash looked at her number on her flank and screamed to see she was up next.

"Ok number two, let's go." the member said. Dash quickly looked around to find a higher number to switch and sneaked up on a male pegasus who was munching on hay and swaped the numbers 2 and 5.

"C'mon c'mon, we ain't got all day!" the member urged impatiently.

"She's talking to you!" Dash said to the pegasus.

"Oh. Umm... Oh I guess that's me!" the pegasus said confusingly and rushed out. As time went on Dash continued to swap numbers as much as she could to avoid getting out on the field.

"Ok number four, time to go." the member said.

"I'm number four, and I need just one more itsy-bitsy minute. Be a dear and have somepony go ahead of me, hmm?" Rarity popped out with hair curls on and a mud face mask.

"Look, I don't care who it is, but somepony's gotta go on!" the member said very impatiently.

"Let's DO THIS!" a stray pegasus with the number 7 yelled and ran out. Dash however was number 6.

"Uhh... What am I gonna do?" Dash mumbled to herself and saw the highest and last number of the competition. The contest was almost over and the show was getting exciting.

"I loved number seven. Doing fifteen barrel-rolls in a row can't be easy." Twilight said.

"My favorite is number ten. She just looked like such a nice pony." Fluttershy joined.

"Hmm.. Wonder how come we haven't seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet? The competition's almost over." Applejack pointed out.

"I can care less about seeing Rarity. This contest is already over and she completely shattered Dash's dream." Zach said angrily.

"Zach!" Twilight scolded sharply.

"Yeah, I know, too much, but you know as well as I do that she shouldn't even be on that field." Zach pointed out. Soon Dash and Rarity were the only competitors and Dash was shaking on the ground in panic unable to control her calmness.

"Number fifteen, let's go!" the member said still in unpleasant impatience. Then the door Rarity was in opened with steam coming out and Rarity comes out with lipstick, bigger eyelashes, feathered clothes and hat, and jewled bracelets.

"Rarity... Is ready!" Rarity said confidently.

"Look ladies. I don't know what to tell you. There's only time for one more performance. If you both want to compete, you'll just have to go out there together!" the member suggested.

"Well Rainbow Dash? Shall we?" Rarity asked and Dash answered only with scared babbling.

"And now, for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen! Uhh... And apparently contestant number four..." the announcer said as the two entered the field and the crowd cheered. Zach then notices Pinkie's giant human fan finger and surprised him.

"Where'd you get that?" Zach asked.

"Oh, I made this because it's a great way to cheer!" Pinkie answered gleefully.

"But why a human finger?"

"Because it can make the number one. How can ponies do it with hooves that have no fingers?" Pinkie pointed out and Zach looked at his hooves in understandment.

"Good point." Zach said and shifted his eyes back the field.

"Good luck Rainbow Dash. Just do your best. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of changing our music. That "rock and roll" doesn't really match my wings." Rarity whispered and tried to cheer her on but just made it even worse for Dash as she started doing her graceful dancing performance.

"[gulp] C'mon Rainbow Dash. You can do this. Just remember the routine. Phase one." Dash said to herself as she does the flying around the pillars trick. She was doing great at first but as she was about to make another turn she turned to soon and crashed right into the cloud pillar and was sent flying to bottom wall of the stadium just next to the three bullying pegasi.

"Nice work Rainbow Crash!" the second pegasus taunted and made the others laugh and get a glare from Dash. Zach too was getting irriated by the three and to shut them up he kicks down a large slab of cloud on their heads and stuck right on them as they muffled in them and struggled to get out. Zach gave a small wink to Dash and she was getting back to her routine. Rarity on the other hand was still doing her graceful dancing and was doing good at it.

"Time for phase two." Dash said to herself and flew high into the air to spin the clouds like in her practice. As she does it there seems to be no problem so far.

"Look! Phase two is working." Fluttershy pointed out and the gang started cheering more in encouragement. Unfortunately she spoke to soon as Dash went too fast on one of the clouds and a piece of it flys right into her face losing her concentration and sent the stray cloud spinning right at Celestia. She gasped in surprise and ducked with her guards just in time as the cloud comes to contact with the wall and vaporizes into thin air. Dash was beginning to lose hope in herself and sees Rarity was having no trouble on doing her performance.

"And now for my grand finale. I will fly right up to the sun and beam my beautiful wings over the whole city of Cloudsdale! [gasp and squeal] They'll be talking about it for years!" Rarity said to herself in excitement and flew up into the air.

"Looks like this is my last chance to turn things around. Phase three. The sonic [gulp] rainboom. Wings, don't fail me now!" Dash said to her wings and swiftly flys into the air faster and higher than Rarity trying to get enough altitude to pull off the stunt. As Rarity stops in front of the sun panting heavily she began her finale.

"Look upon me Equestria, for I Am Rarity!" Rarity shouted for the audience to hear and opened her wings as the colors reflect off from the sun and shined all over the coliseum which made the crowd gasped in facination. Zach was about to jeer to her until something horrifying caught his eye. Her wings began smoking up unable to take the heat from the sun.

"RARITY, NO! DON'T GET TOO CLOSE TO THE-" Zach tried to warn but it was too late the wings incinerated into thin air leaving her wingless once again.

"Sun." Zach finished fearfully.

"Uh-oh." Rarity muttered looking at her wingless back before falling from thousands of feet in the air screaming in desperation.

"Oh no! Her wings evaporated into thin air!" Twilight said as Rarity falls threw the stadium squealing. Three of the Wonderbolt members take matters into their own hooves and flew down to rescue her. As the three were about to save her Rarity was in too much shock to stay calm as she sways her hooves around and accidentaly smacks each of the Wonderbolts faces putting them into unconciousness. Dash then hears Rarity's cries and sees her and the falling Wonderbolts.

"Hold on Rarity! I'm coming!" Dash said with determination and flew down as fast as she could. Rarity still continues to scream in fear as her life hangs in the balance.

"Oh, I can't look!" Fluttershy said in fear and covers her eyes in fear. As Dash struggles to pick up speed a force began to try and push her back. Rarity gasps in amazement and the group above gasped as well knowing what's coming.

"She's going to do it!" Zach pointed out as Fluttershy opens her eyes again and the group holds each other in suspense. Dash grunts as she tries as hard as she could to overcome the force and pushes on until she finally breaks the barrier of both sound and color releasing a loud boom of light and color as the shockwave can be seen in a spectacular rainbow stretching to the far reaches of the earth with a trail of a rainbow following behind Dash.

"A SONIC RAINBOOM! SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! WOOO!" Fluttershy cheered only this time louder and had the excitement Dash wanted her to do as she jumps up and down in ectasy with the others staring with their mouths agaped in disbelief and silence. Soon Dash was able to catch Rarity in her hooves and the Wonderbolts on her back just in the nick of time before they could meet their fates. As Dash took up for the air again she looke behind to see the trail of colors following her and gasped in amazement seeing the feat she didn't think she could do was achieved once again just like when she was a little filly. As Dash makes a sparkling rainbow arch above the coliseum she comes under the open space below it and gives the injured daredevils and Rarity to some of the pegasi audience and landed on the clouds. Soon to Dash's surprise the crowd began cheering loudly in celebration for her and confetti and streamers began falling down. She then turns to her friends and was more surprise to see Fluttershy out cheering them even louder then the others.

"A SONIC RAINBOOM! WOOO! YEAH!" Fluttershy cheered still jumping in pure excitement which made Dash started forming tears in her eyes.

"I did it. I did it!" Dash said in happiness.

"[sigh] You sure did. Oh thank you Rainbow Dash. You saved my life!" Rarity thanked happily also ready to cry.

"Oh yeah. I did that too. Ha, best day EVER!" Dash cheered in celebration along with the rest of the crowd. Since Rarity wasn't cast with the cloud walking spell she had to sit on the hot air balloon to stay afloat.

"I want to apologize to all of you for getting so carried away with my... beautiful wings. I guess I just lost my head." Rarity apologize admitting her guilt as the group accepted her apology.

"I guess I owe you an apology too, Rarity. I shouldn't have treated you like that earlier." Zach said shamefully.

"Oh, Zach darling, it's alright. You were right, I was being really selfish today. And I am truly sorry." Rarity said giving an apologetic smile to him which she got in return.

"And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you had worked so hard to win it. Can you ever ever forgive me?" Rarity asked sincerely.

"Aw, it's ok. Everything turned out alright, right? I just wish I could have met the Wonderbolts when they were awake." Dash admitted.

"Well, it's not too late to see them now." Zach assured with a sly smile looking at something behind her.

"What-" Dash was about to ask until she felt a hoof poke her should and turn to see a her idols standing right in front of her healed and okay.

"[gasp] Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmy goshohMYGOSH!" Dash said repeatedly in total surprise.

"So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We really wanted to meet you, and say thanks." the orange captain with a flaming styled mane and tail known as Spitfire thanked.

"OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmy goshOhmygosh!" Dash said again repeatedly. Just then Celestia and her royal gaurds land near the group.

"Princess." Twilight announced surprisingly and the gang bowed before her.

"Hello Zachary Lanson and Twilight Sparkle, and hello to your friends too." Celestia greeted.

"Princess Celestia, I am sorry I ruined the competition. Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria." Rarity complimented.

"I know she is my dear. That's why for her incredible act of bravery, and her spectacular sonic rainboom, I'm presenting the grand prize for best young flyer to this year's winner, Miss Rainbow Dash!" Celestia announced and the crowd cheers again as Celestia places a golden crown with wings on each side with the Wonderbolt insignia in the middle.

"Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!" Dash cheered to herself again as three of the group carries Dash up in the air in celebration.

"So Zachary Lanson and Twilight Sparkle, did you learn anything about friendship from this experience?" Celestia asked.

"I did Princess, but I think Rarity learned even more than me." Twilight said turning her attention to Rarity.

"I certainly did. I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground, and be there for your friends." Rarity said.

"And to not let things get to your head that often, no matter how valuable or precious it is, becuase if you do, you're just going to be finding your friends and yourself getting hurt." Zach added.

"Excellent. Well done Rarity." Celestia commended.

"This really is the best day EVER!" Dash cheered again setting herself back to the cloud grounds.

"Uhh, hey Rainbow Crash." the first bully pegasus called out not in a insulting mood but rather in a shameful tone.

"Dash!" the second pegasus corrected sharpfully nudging him.

"Oh! Uhh... Sorry Rainbow Dash. Uhh, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition." the first pegasus congratulated politely.

"That sonic rainboom was awesome!" the second pegasus complimented radically.

"Heh, thanks guys." Dash thanked happily but did find this unexpected.

"Uhh, we're really sorry we gave you such a hard time before." the first pegasus apologized sincerely.

"Aww, that's ok. Don't worry about it." Dash assured.

"Hey. Do you want to hang out with us? Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick!" the first suggested excitedly.

"Sorry boys... But I've got plans!" Dash rejected as she flew up into the air with two Wonderbolts by her sides with her hooves on their backs to spend the day together as they fly off to the sun happy knowing that it really was the best day ever so far.
