Rainbow's P.O.V

I saw Soarin walk towards us. Man, I swear he actually brushed his mane today. Wait! I'm not supposed to think about how cute he looks or how handsome, or, or, ugh Rainbow snap out of it! If I can't handle standing here waiting for an assignment then I might as well leave the academy.

"Attention! Today's assignment will be to create the best tornado with a partner of your CHOICE! Last pegasus standing will get the rest of the day off. Choose your partner quickly" Soarin shouts out for us to hear. I was so lost in thought I didn't really listen.

I snaped out of my daydream and tryed to find a partner. My wing pony, Lightning Dust, walked up to me, "We should totally be a team, am I right or am I right?" she says, sarcastically.

"Umm, sure, whatever" I reply and stand in position, "As long as you don't push it to far, you got it?" "Yeah Yeah Like I would do it again" She replied hastily.

Soarin's P.O.V

"Alrighty, On YOUR MARK! GET SET! GO!" I yelled out eagerly, awaiting to see who will proceed to the next level of training. I had kept a keen eye on Rainbowdash, something just didn't seem right about her.

As the tornados started to form, I remembered what Spitfire had said, "Keep an eye on Lightning Dust, I still don't trust her after what she did" So I looked towards her tornado, which had formed quite quickly.

"WOOO HOOO! Keep it up Cadets!" I shout through a mega phone, hoping to boost their spirits.

Bulk Biceps lost control of his tornado and was launched into the air, soon followed by his partner and four other pegasi.

It's all up to Rainbow and Lightning, I wonder who will fall first I thought to myself, but I then gasped at the sight of Rainbow Dash falling out of the tornado bleeding.

I rushed to her aid and carried her down to the ground.

"Rainbow! Why are you bleeding!"

Rainbow's P.O.V (When the tornado's start)

As soon as Soarin said go, I leaped up into the air, streaking through the sky and went around in circles with Lightning following behind me.

Our tornado formed quickly, quicker than the others.

I flew around in circles and passed by Lightning dust. By the second time a flew past her, she turned over to face me, flying backwards.

"What are you doing?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"Nothing but a little old kick" She said laughing as she kicked me in the jaw .

I fell to the ground unconscious, and was out cold for a long time.

Soarin's P.O.V (Back in the present)

"Everypony STOP!" I yell out to everypony in the area. They all freeze and look towards me.

"Wha-What iz it soarin?" Derpy asks me. I look towards her with a troubled look. "Somepony hurt Rainbow, and I'm pretty sure that it was intentional" I say, and looked towards Lightning Dust who was walking towards us.

"Huh, what happened to Rainbow CRASH here? Looks like she took quite a fall" Lightning said harshly, acting like a total jerk, "Well, I guess I am going to the next level while you losers aren't" She walks away, smiling.

I see ponys coming over with a stretcher. Well I guess that Rainbow will be taken care of now, but I swear it was lightning dust who knocked her out, and most likely made her bleed. Aww man, I really wish Lightning dust was kicked out of the academy. Hmm, maybe if I get a pie and ask Lightning dust to come to spitfire's office, I could ask her what happened, and I would get the truth with that potion I got for my birthday. What I would do for Rainbow and get this incident sorted out. I can't help but think about how to get the truth out of Lightning Dust, before I ask Rainbow dash when she wakes up.

"Umm excuse me sir, but I just wanna say that you catching this here pony was mighty nice of ya, she would have probably had broken a few bones if she had actually landed on the ground", said a colt who had helped bring the stretcher.

"Huh? Oh yes, thank you for the complement, but is Rainbow dash going to be ok?", I ask him.

"Oh yes, thanks to you, she will be just fine in a few days", He replies, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get this pony to the hospital. Have a good day!" With those words spoken, he turns away to help carry the stretcher to a cart that will be pulled to the hospital not to far away.

I turn around and dismiss the class, and walk towards Spitfire's office in complete silence. When I reach my destination, I open the door and turn my gaze towards Spitfire.

"Hey Soarin! Uhh, why do you seem so upset? I thought you loved the tornado assignment", Spitfire says, giving me a troubed look.

"Oh no, it's not that Capt-err Spitfire, it's just that Rainbow dash's partner for this exercise was Lightning Dust, and Rainbow fell out of her tornado unconscious and her jaw was bleeding." I reply hastily, avoiding eye contact.

"Hmm, You did say her partner was Lightning Dust, so therefore, Lightning Dust could have possibly have done this" Spitfire replies, "But we need a plan to get the truth. The best way is to ask Rainbow Dash when she wakes up, but since Lightning Dust is suspect, I would say to keep her from any activities until Rainbow Dash can talk again"

"Sounds perfect to me Spitfire!" I reply happily, this will be great! I'm surprised how quickly Spitfire thought of this solution, it was way better than my plan, I think to myself as I dismiss myself from Spitfire's office.
