Author's Notes:

A litter shorter because I'm going through a little something right now.

Hope it's still of good quality.

"So... you're telling me, that you, a living creature, can break the fucking sound barrier?"

"Yes, I've done it multiple times." Rainbow brags.

"Rainbow, I believe pretty much everything you tell me, but when you tell me that those tiny little things can push you past the speed of sound, it's completely normal for me to call you out on that!"

"But Matt, I've done it in that show that I'm apparently from. Emily's seen me do it on there before."

"Alright, let's say that you CAN do this sonic boom thing. There's still no possible way for you to create a fucking rainbow from it."

"Yes I can! Matt you should believe me!"

"Okay, then explain how it works."

"Magic." Rainbow says plainly.

"See, there's where you're whole explanation falls apart. There is no magic on earth. Zero, none, nothing."

"I still have magic Matt. Did you forget that it's the thing that lets me fly?"

"Well... I suppose that's true. Alright, when we get to the park you can prove it to me."

We arrive a couple of minutes later at a park near my house. It's pretty open with only a few trees scattered throughout the entirety of the premise.

"Alright, let me stretch." Rainbow starts stretching her wings as we near the center of the park. It's pretty busy today so people are watching us as we walk by.

"I'm gonna record this shit just in case you aren't bluffing." I say as I pull out my phone.

"Oh I'm not, trust me." Rainbow says as I start recording.

"This is Matthew Green... It's October sixteenth and history is about to be made, here, in Jacksonville Florida. Ready Rainbow?" Rainbow nods and takes off in the blink of an eye. She quickly becomes a small dot in the sky before turning and quickly flying to the left. She quickly makes a u-turn and starts coming back down at a forty-five degree angle. Everyone around me has stopped what they were doing and are now staring at the sky. I'm tempted to yell, "It's a bird, it's a plane!"

A sound starts to erupt from high above us. It sounds like a jet, but it's slightly muffled. A white cone starts to form around Rainbow as she heads for the ground.

"Holy shit... she's actually gonna do it..." I mumble as I keep the phone focused on Rainbow. The jet-like sound quickly erupts into one of a bomb. A ring of colors spread out from where Rainbow actually broke the damn sound barrier. Her speed increases even more as she starts to head back towards the park. "Holy fuck! She fucking did it!" I yell as I quickly maneuver the phone to keep Rainbow in the shot. She comes down hard and skids across the grass at an insane speed. She comes to a stop a few feet away from me, and looks up at me with the most cocky smile I've ever seen.

"Told you." She says as she flips her hair out of her face.

"My girlfriend's a badass..." I mumble as I snap back to my senses. I look around to see a bunch of people on their phones. This is totally going viral in the next couple of days, no doubt about it. People all around us are cheering and clapping, others are taking pictures of Rainbow as she walks back towards me.

"Believe me now?" She asks as she slaps my leg with her tail.

"I... guess so." I say, still stunned at what just happened. "Let's get out of here before the police show up or something."

We run back to the truck with Rainbow bragging about how fast she is.

"I'll admit, I didn't think you had it in you." I say as I pull back onto the road.

"Never doubt the amazing Rainbow Dash!"

"I'm surprised your head hasn't exploded yet." I say with an annoyed look.

"What?"

"From your ego..."

"Matt!"

"I'm sorry but it's annoying when you brag all the time!"

"Are you mad at me Matt?" Rainbow's ears drop. "I was just kidding."

I sigh and rub my eyes. "No, I'm not mad Rainbow... In fact I'm the opposite. I'm proud of you for your abilities. I'm just... remember when we were on my roof?"

"Yeah, and you said you wished you could... oh..."

"I'm just jealous of you is all." I say as I try to perk up again. I don't want Rainbow thinking I'm mad at her. "I envy your abilities."

"Oh... Matt, I'm sorry, I won't fly anymore if you don't want me to."

"No no no, you can do whatever you want. I don't control you Rainbow. Ah, just forget it. It's just some dumb dream I've always had."

"It's not dumb, it's amazing. I wish I could find a way for you to fly with me..." An idea, no, an amazing idea pops into my mind, but I'll have to jump on it fast.

"We should get home now." I say as I quickly turn a corner.

"Why? It's only like... three in the afternoon."

"Because, I want to do something, but I need my computer to do it."

"Um, okay then. What is it?"

"Can't say. Not yet anyway. Let's just say I remembered about a little something I saw in a pamphlet."

"Come on! Tell me!"

"You're like a little kid Rainbow." I laugh at her excitement. "It's a surprise."

"Ugh, fine..." Rainbow crosses her front legs and pouts.

We pull up to the house a few minutes later, and I rush inside to my laptop. I wave to my family as I pass them as I run up the stairs with Rainbow in tow. I sit down at my desk and open up my laptop.

"Okay, now will you tell me what you're doing?"

"See for yourself." I say as I open the web browser. I find the website I'm looking for an click on the link.

"What's skydiving?"

"Only the closest thing to free flying I can get. It'll let me be up in the air with you."

"Whoa really!? You can fly with me!?"

"Well, it's more like falling with style..." I laugh at my own joke, which Rainbow doesn't get.

"So, what is it exactly?"

"They take you up in a plane and you jump out. when you get near the ground, you open your parachute which slows you down enough to land. On the way down, it feels like you're flying. Now that I'm eighteen, I can do this legally!"

"That's actually really cool! How much does it cost?"

"Let me see... Oh shit, that's a little pricey... I could probably afford to buy one ticket. You could just follow the plane and fall with me once I jump out."

"Sounds good to me."

"Now I just need to ask my parents. Even if I am eighteen, they'd flip if I did this without their permission."

*The Next Day*

"This is going to be amazing." I say as I drive with Rainbow to the skydiving place. "The little prep class might be a little boring though."

"It'll be worth it, trust me." Rainbow says as she moves around excitedly in the passenger seat.

The building comes into the view, and Rainbow squeals in excitement. This is going to be the best birthday ever.
