Welcome back! Last episode, Blitz got a job, the others got wasted time, and a new pony was introduced! In this episode, I want to try to do something new. Anyone of you want to try what it is? Well, go on ahead! I gotta say though, I'm not sure if it'll be expected or not... Oh well, guess that'll just make the surprise better! Well, with that all said, let's begin!

But before I do, there is one thing I'd like to say: David, I accept your apology and would be glad to help you post a story. But it still stands, I don't know what your account name is and I can't reach you without that. Could you please send me a PM message so I can talk to you from there? Thank you, and I will now gladly take down that chapter from earlier.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from MLP except my own personal ideas, and Blitz as a character. Everything else in the story belongs to someone else!

The day began as it usually did. I woke up, fell out of bed, used lightning to wake up, and just relaxed a little. My new job started around noon, and even I was wide awake by then. Once I got there I was introduced to most of the crew. I got my own equipment like a hard hat, a tool belt with, you guessed it, tools, and a... nickname.

Young Bolt. I facehooved at that, but they all liked it anyway. The Young part, since I was still one of the youngest ones on the whole crew, most of them being full-grown adults/stallions. The bolt part, because I was able to absorb lightning and my tail was in that shape. It wasn't really that bad a name, at least after you heard some of their horrible nicknames, but it was really just bad because it was so stupidly simple. Still, I guessed they could've given me a worse name like Young Spark or something.

As the day went on, I helped work on building a house. Another thing about how great this job was, it was never the same. Every building usually has a different design so it was different everyday.

As time went on, we got a break. At least, I thought I would have a simple break.

"Hello Blitz." I looked down and saw Fluttershy with a pack over her back. It looked full, and it had what looked like a checker board sticking out of it.

"Oh hey Fluttershy." I said, looking down at her from the top of the frame. I flew down and took off my hard hat. "What's up?"

"Oh, well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Ponyville Retirement Home. You see, every month me and some of the girls always go to visit the elderly ponies there." She explained.

"That sounds pretty nice." I said and she smiled hopefully. "I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to go though."

Almost on que, the forepony came over to see me. "Hey Young Bolt. Good first day. Ya fit right in with the crew too!" The forepony complimented my work. I didn't even do that much, but since he's so easy to impress, and he makes it sound like I built a whole house single-handedly.

"Thanks Fore Hammer." That was his nickname. His nickname was stupid too. the way he came up with it was he had two hammers for his Cutie Mark, and he was the forepony. He made all of us address us by nicknames. Thought it would lighten the spirits or something.

"Hey, I was wondering. My friend here was asking if I could go with her to the Ponyville Retirement Home, and I was wondering if I could go early. If it's not too much trouble." I said.

"Sure ya can! Go ahead and take the day off! We already have a lot of hooves workin on the project, so if you have a good enough reason, your more than welcome to go!" He said with a friendly smile. Honestly, he is way to okay on stuff like this. Not that I'm complaining, but still.

"Great, thanks." I thanked him. He went off and I turned back to Fluttershy. "Guess I can. He's pretty liberal." I explained to her.

"Oh, that's good... Why did he call you Young Bolt? If you don't mind me asking that is" She asked with confusion.

"Every pony on the crew is forced to get a nickname." I said, hoping it would end there. I gestured to the forepony. "Forepony's orders." I explained.

When I looked back at Fluttershy, I could tell that she was holding back soft snickers. Great, if she of all ponies were snickering a the name, then I would never hear the end of it from the others.

"Can we just go?" I asked. She calmed down.

"I'm sorry..." She apologized. seeing I was a little upset by it all.

"It's fine. I would probably laugh if it was some pony else with the nickname. So go ahead and laugh. Just... Please don't tell any of the others. I wouldn't hear the end of it." I told her. If Spike or Rainbow Dash heard the name, they would never let me live it down.

"Alright. Well, follow me if you want Blitz. Were all meeting at the Ponyville Retirement Home." Fluttershy told me as she went off. I followed suit, leaving my tool belt on. I just kind of liked wearing it. That, and it had so many straps and buckles that it was annoying to take off when you had to take it off just a few minutes later.

When we got there, I saw that almost all the others were there already. "Hello every pony." Fluttershy greeted.

"Hi Fluttershy. Blitz, you came too?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, my boss is really liberal." I told them.

"Well that's good." Twilight said.

"Hey Twilight? What does liberal mean?" Spike asked, not sure what that word was.

"It means he's a little more relaxed about everything that goes on." Twilight told him.

"Got it." Spike said.

"So where's Applejack and Pinkie Pie? I thought that all of you came." I pointed out.

"Applejack had to stay on the farm for Applebucking season, and Pinkie Pie had to watch Pound and Carrot Cake." Rainbow Dash said, not looking to happy.

"Oh come on Rainbow Dash, lighten up. You need to at least try to enjoy their company." Twilight said.

"How? The elderly are always so boring, and most of them do nothing but sit around and take it easy all day." Rainbow Dash said, not wanting to be here at all. The only reason she did come was because Fluttershy had counted on her to come.

"Not always. My grandpa was always really cool. He drove on a motorcycle, and he liked to build stuff too." I told them. When they all looked at me funny, I knew why. "Motorcycles are like scooters, but can go around eighty miles per hour and go by themselves." I told them the simple explanation. Especially because if I said something like engines, or horsepower, then it would just end up being more confusing.

"Well, okay so a few elderly are cool but the rest always like to take things slow." She obviously didn't like that about them, and since she thought that speed was important about everything, she didn't find elderly that cool at all except for a few exceptions.

"Oh come on Rainbow Dash, you might like coming here." Fluttershy said as she walked inside, followed by the rest of us.

Twilight then went up to the receptionist. "Hello, were here to-"

"To meet the elderly. I know. You all always come around the beginning of the month." She stopped Twilight. She sounded nice and polite, but she looked like one of those stereotypical rude secretaries. She was chewing gum, filing her hoof, which confused me a little, and put down a magazine just before she interrupted us. I didn't know what to think of her at this point because she acted friendly, but seemed like one of those cranky receptionists that didn't want to do their job.

"Well, go on ahead. The usual ponies all of you like to see are waiting for you." She told us, gesturing towards an archway to the left of her.

We all walked through and saw them all. The elderly. There was a decent amount of them doing different things.

"Fluttershy dear, over here." We all turned and saw an elderly mare with a light yellow coat, and a dark blue mane and tail. She had a Cutie Mark that resembled a drama mask. One side happy, and the other side sad.

"Oh, Ms. Complisult." Fluttershy said with a smile as she went over to her. Why was she called Miss Complisult?

"It's so nice to see you Fluttershy. I thought you would just be hiding in your house like a groundhog seeing his shadow." She said. Okay, guess that's why.

"It's nice to see you too." Fluttershy said, ignoring the insult. "So what do you want to do today? I brought some games for us to play." She said.

"Oh how sweet, thank you." Complisult said with a weak smile. "What do you want to lose at first?" She said, keeping the weak smile.

As those two talked, the rest of us were wondering just how Fluttershy stood that.

"Twilight, Spike. Glad you could make it." We all turned to see a group of elderly ponies, each with the same book. "Did you bring your copy for book club?"

"Right here Mrs. Booklearn." Twilight said as she got out two books that looked just like the ones they all had. "Come on Spike." Twilight said as she went over.

"Coming Twilight." Spike said, following after her.

That just left me, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity to find some elderly to hang out with. And since I don't really have a group of ponies here to hang out with...

"I think I;m just going to go introduce myself to a few of the ponies in here. Bye guys." I said, starting to leave myself.

Rainbow Dash's POV

With most of them already looking around and saying hi, that just left me and Rarity to find some pony to talk to. "Hey Rarity, who do you..." When I turned around to see her, she wasn't there anymore. "Rarity?"

I looked around and saw here standing next to two ponies that looked like twins. "That is such an exquisite pattern! You must tell me how you designed such a thing!" Rarity insisted. She was looking at the design that those two made from knitting.

"Oh, were so glad that some pony from your generation actually respects our design. You see, how we made it was..." And yawn. That seemed way to boring. Actually, everything about this place was boring! Why can't some elderly ponies be exciting and fun?

I sighed. I couldn't just run off and leave my friends here. That was wrong no matter how you looked at it. I looked around and saw an old, lonely very light blue pegasus rocking back and forth on a wheelchair. Well, he's pretty much the only one left. I walked over, seeing how there were signs everywhere saying: No flying, loud noises, and no strong magic besides levitation!

That was annoying in itself, but it made sense. When I finally did get there, I cleared my throat and he looked at me. "Hi. I'm Rainbow Dash." I said. I tried to sound friendly.

"I'm Jettison Jay" He said. Somehow, that name sounded familiar, but I shook it off. "And you don't have to sound happy to be here. Heck, I'm not even that happy to be here." He said, trying to cheer me up.

"What pegasus would like to stay here? Were not even allowed to fly. What's up with that?" I asked.

"Well, my brother doesn't mind." He said, gesturing to a brown pegasus, with an even browner leg. That was the same pegasus that Blitz was talking to. "He doesn't like flying anymore because he says it isn't that good on his leg anymore." He told me.

"Hs leg? What's wrong with his leg?" When I looked back at the brown pegasus, I saw that his leg was a little lighter than the rest of him.

"It's made of wood. I think he just says that so he can be lazy." Jettison Jay said.

I laughed a little at that. It was kind of ironic. Jettison then looked at me. "What's so funny?" He asked, confused.

"That's my friend Blitz over there with him. His legs made of metal." After Jettison looked at Blitz, he laughed too.

"Well, guess my brother isn't alone on that topic anymore." He then sat back. "So, who are you?"

"Uh... I already told you. I'm Rainbow Dash." I told him. Did he forget already?

But he just chuckled at me. "No. I mean what do you like to do? Other than whatever all girls your age like to do." He clarified.

"Hey, I don't do any 'girl stuff'." I said a little mad, thinking he mean makeovers or something like that. He just chuckled even more at that "Anyway, I like to race. I'm so good at it, I'm the best flier in Equestria!" I told him boastfully, flying up a little and doing a backflip in mid-air.

"EHEM!" I turned around and saw the receptionist looking at me with a frown. I chuckled nervously a little and stopped flying.

As soon as the receptionist left, I heard Jettison Jay laughing at me. "What's so funny?" I asked, a little mad.

"You!" He laughed a little more and calmed himself down. "Now how can you be the best flier in Equestria, when that titles already been given out?" He asked me.

"W-what do you mean the titles already been given out?" I asked him, caught off guard by what he said. "The only other pegasus that ever had that title disappeared a long time ago. Like, twenty years ago!" I pointed out.

"Yes, but he isn't gone yet. I hear that he's still around somewhere." He told me with a smile. "But I forget... Who was that pony again?" He asked me, scratching his chin.

"Who was he? How could any pony forget who he was?! His name was Jet Jay, or JJ to his friends! He knew how to fly as fast as possible! Whether it was a racing track, or a dense forest, he never slowed down! He was able to fly anywhere, anytime, at any speed, against any pony, and win!" Rainbow Dash told the story. "Not only that, but he was the captain of the Wonderbolts!" I told him.

"Ah, yeah... I remember when that happened... I hear he made the Wonderbolts what they were today." Jettison told me, keeping a smile on his face, that only got bigger.

"Yep! And one day, I'm going to be in Elite Wonderbolts! Right up there with Jet Jay, Soarin, and Spitfire!" I said, getting hyped just talking about it.

he chuckled at me, happy to see my enthusiasm. "Glad to know you'll be joining us as one of the greats Rainbow Dash." He told me.

"I know! I can't wait until I..." I stopped and looked at him, who had a pleased smirk on his face as he let me figure it out. "Wait! Your... Jet Jay?" I asked him.

"Hehe... You better believe it little flyer." He told me. "Now, not so loud, no pony in here but my brother knows-"

"I didn't hear him as I yelled at the top of my lungs in shock. "Your Jet J-Mmhm!" He put his hoof in front of my mouth stopping me from finished my sentence.

"Shh! Don't give me away kid." He scolded me. "Come on. If you want to talk that loud let's go outside." He told me. I nodded as much as I could, his hoof still on my mouth. Slowly, he got up from his rocking chair. This was going to be so awesome!
