I was having a wonderful dream of me and RD, but then I woke up. Damn It! I was just getting to the good part! Humph! RD was already awake and was lying on my chest again. “Well, you’re up early” I said to her with a smile.

“Well, today is going to be so much fun, it’s hard to stay asleep!” Rainbow Dash said to me with a chuckle.

“Well, I guess that it is a good thing that I woke up early too. You want to head out now? We can stop on the way and get something to eat and then walk around for a bit until it starts” I said to her. She nodded and got off of my chest and I got up out of the bed. I took a quick shower and then me and RD left out of the window. I put a note on the front door that said ‘went to Fillydelphia, be back later’. Then we set out for our destination. I had on a long sleeve shirt and my pair of sweats, and RD was wearing my hoody I gave her. Wow, I haven’t seen that in a while…still cooler than me though. *sniffles* We flew through the clouds as she led me towards Fillydelphia. I wonder what it will look like?

“Hey Rainbow, what does Fillydelphia look like?” I asked her as we flew through the air.

“It kind of looks like Canterlot, but there are a lot bigger buildings there. They have a large stadium built there for competitions like the ones the Wonderbolts are in. I guess there are a lot of rowdy ponies there who get pretty wild when there are competitions held in it” Rainbow Dash said to me.

We decided to skip breakfast so we could get there faster and then we would just eat then. We flew for about 2 more hours before we saw the outskirts of Fillydelphia in the distance. The stadium was visible from where we were. “Holy crap that’s a big stadium!” I said out loud. Mother of god! How in the hell are we going to find our seats? We flew towards it and when we were close we landed and looked for a place to eat.

“What about here?” Rainbow Dash asked pointing at a building that served brunches.

“Sure, let’s check it out!” I said to her with a smile. I was starving by now and I would eat anything. I would eat an onion like an apple if I had to! We walked inside and sat next to the window. A few moments later a waitress came by with some menus and handed us them. She smiled at me when she saw me.

“Hey, your Kyle! I’ve heard about you before, you are the only human in Equestria! Why are you all the way out here? I thought you lived in Ponyville?” she said bombarding me with questions.

Y U NO LEAVE ME ALONE? “Yeah it’s me. I’m out here with RD here to see the Wonderbolts. Can” I was cut off by her. Shut up lady!

“You came all the way out here to see them? They have a lot of competition on their hooves with this one. They have to go up against our native team known as the Fillyflyers” the waitress said to me.

I WANT FOOD NOW LADY!!! Be quiet and let me think! “That’s good to know, now can we have a minute to look over the menu?” I said to her with a fake smile.

“Oh, sure” She said before she left us to look over the menus.

“Thank Celestia, I thought she would never leave us alone” I said to RD quietly as I looked over the menu. She chuckled a little and I started to also, but that was short lived. She came back then. OH come on! She was literally gone for one minute! ARGH, where is my ductape?

“Ok, what’ll ya have?” she asked me with another smile.

“Can I get the fruit salad?” I said to her with another fake smile.

She jotted it down and looked over to RD “And for you miss?”

“I’ll just have what he’s having” she replied to the waitress.

“Ok, I’ll be back in a few with your order” then she walked off to get started.

After we finished eating our meals, which were very good by the way, we left for the stadium. We made it to the front entrance and there were various statues from hall of famers of the past. We walked up the stairs and through the entrance hall. I immediately saw the place to gamble and started to walk over to it. “Hey RD, who do you want to win for the Wonderbolts?”

“Well, I feel like Soarin could kick the flank of these guys, go with him” Rainbow Dash replied to me.

I walked up to the mare behind the counter and she looked at me with a frown. “Who are you betting for?”

“I’d like 30 bits on Soarin for the Wonderbolts” I said to her trying to be friendly.

She took my bits and handed me a slip. I then looked up at the screen above her and Soarin was a being bet against by a lot of ponies. A lot of ponies thought that he was going to lose, but I am hoping that he kicks her competitor’s flank. C’mon lady luck, Kyle needs a new house!

I walked back over to her and then we walked down a long hall that led to the field. That stallion gave us some amazing seats; we were only 3 rows from the top! Seeing as the sport is based in the air; that was pretty damn good! Thanks whatever your name was, I love the seats!

“It’s almost time. I sure hope Soarin wins his competition” I said to RD, who was smiling really wide.

“I know he will win, I heard he was working on a new move that was sure to be a crowd pleaser” Rainbow Dash said to me with a grin.

We sat there for a while and then we saw the Wonderbolts fly in. I never knew how cool they could look when you actually saw them with your own eyes. They were extremely fast and had their trademark blue uniforms on. Trails of smoke shot out behind them and I immediately thought of the F-18’s that would fly over major sporting events. Mmm this is great! I love this already, now if I win the little bet I am partaking in I will be set!

Rainbow Dash looked in amazement. She was particularly looking at Soarin, who must have been her favorite pony out of them. When they landed the stands cheered and booed, both sides wanting their home squad to win.

A few minutes later the other squad flew in. They were wearing green uniforms and had yellow smoke trailing out behind them. They landed on the other side of the Wonderbolts and the crowd switched it’s gears on cheering and booing.

A loud crackle could be heard then “ladies and gentlecolts, we have an exciting day planned for you here at Fillydelphia Stadium. The Fillyflyers are taking on the Wonderbolts in a high flying air competition! Each member from both teams will face one member from the opposing team in a aerial maneuver competition, whichever pony has the most points at the end of the 3 minutes both ponies get, that is the winner for that round. Whichever team has the most points from each pony will win the event and get their name on the wall of fame. Let’s get this show under way! High Flyer and Spitfire are up first! Spitfire gets the first three minutes.”

Rainbow Dash and I cheered for Spitfire as she got ready to take off. She shot up into the air and began to gain altitude fast. I lost sight of her and the only way I could tell she was up there was from the smoke trail leading up to her. She immediately shot down towards the ground and began to do loops as she fell, she made 5 complete loops before she got close to the ground and then went on with her performance.

“Spitfires doing pretty well don’t you think?” I said over to Rainbow Dash, who was watching intently. Eeeyup, she is practically in heaven right now.

“You know it! She has this guy beat, I am sure of it!” she said as she watched, a huge grin on her face.

Her three minutes were up and she took a seat down below. High Flyer moved to the center of the field and started his act. He was pretty good, but not as impressive as Spitfire. He would do flips and twirls here and there, but what really hung out there was the fact that he was a show-boater. He would always stop every now and again to get the crowd to cheer louder for his performance.

“He isn’t that good, he is just an attention grabber” Rainbow Dash said as she booed him.

I laughed; she was getting mad at all of the stuff he was pulling as he performed. The bell rang for the end a few moments later, thank god it did or I might have thought RD was going to go out there and smack a colt.

The announcer came back onto the speakers “What a round! A great performance by both competitors! Spitfire held the place of first with that round at 590 points and High Flyer for second at 460. Next up is Soarin and Wing!”

RD and I cheered again for Soarin. I had 30 bits riding on him and RD was rooting for him to do the trick that she had heard about. C’mon Soarin, I’ll give you some pie if you win this! Soarin was first and took the center of the field.

He took off really low to the ground and flew directly towards the stands. When he was mere feet away from them he shot up vertically and began to twirl, making the smoke spin as he did so. Then he stopped flying and put his wings against his sides and began to do frontflips as he fell toward the ground. He was a mere 25 feet away from the ground and the crowd began to gasp…myself included. He then flapped his wings and stopped when he was only 5 feet off the ground. The crowd cheered loudly and he went on with his performance.

He then went into the middle of the field and began to fly up doing closely knit swirls. The smoke trail was so close as he swirled that it looked like one huge cylinder. He did this until he was high in the air and then he stopped and hovered in the center. Everypony was gawking in awe at what they were looking at. Soarin then flew down as fast as he could in the center of the cylinder. The top of the cylinder sucked into the cylinder and it was engulfing itself; this went on until Soarin flew out the bottom and landed on the ground. The cylinder was still engulfing itself and it eventually got so small that it imploded and sent out a blast of smoke.

“That was amazing! I don’t think anypony was ready for something as shocking as that!” the announcer said through the speakers.

Rainbow Dash and I stood up and cheered along with half of the stands. Soarin’s time ran out and he went over to the rest of his squad. Wing took the center of the field then and began his performance.

After Wing was finished the announcer got back on the speakers “That was an exciting round! Soarin took the lead with a whopping 1020 points to Wing’s 700. Next contenders get ready!”

The last 4 contenders took their turns and in one of the rounds the Wonderbolt’s member lost the round. Everypony was on the edge of their seats waiting for the announcer to come back with the results. I was extremely elated, not only because I won my little bet, but because we were going to win the competition.

The speakers crackled to life and the stands became quiet as they listened “this has been one interesting day everypony! The Wonderbolts have taken the title of first place with 2450 points to the Fillyflier’s 1760. The Wonderbolts will have their name placed on the wall of fame in our great stadium! Congratulations Wonderbolts!”

Everypony in the stadium cheered and then began to file out of the stadium. This was the best day ever! RD and I walked down and then walked back to the main entry hall. The betting stand was crowded with ponies, so I waited my turn. When I finally made it up to a clerk I handed the stallion behind the counter my slip. Let the moolah roll in!

The stallion looked at my slip and his mouth opened a little in shock. He fiddled around behind the counter and when he was done he handed me a medium sized pouch filled with bits. I gasped at him and took the bag. Holy shit! How much did I win? I thought it would at most be like 200 bits, how much is this? Ummm, how much did I win?” I asked him.

“You won 1000 bits, apparently Soarin was the underdog of the competition and everypony bet against him, you got lucky and it paid off big time!” the stallion said to me.

HNNNNNGGG!!! O-o-o-one thousand bits!? AWWWWW YYEEAAHHH! I ran over to RD and told her that we had to go now. We ran out of the stadium and then I took off into the air with my bag of bits. Rainbow Dash flew up next to me and saw my huge impish grin.

“What are you so happy about?” she said to me.

“Because I just won 1000 bits from your advice on Soarin!” I said to her. She is good luck to me!
