Rainbow Dash had an answer for everything.

If she crashed into the principal´s office, it was because the obstacle course had a design flaw. If the cafeteria got flooded, it wasn't because she and GIlda just played a prank of the student with some rain clouds but that the teacher never told them where to store them.

She always had an excuse, a story or sometimes even a lie. It didn't always worked, mind you. Applejack never believed a single word and Spitfire could see right through her every time. Besides, Rainbow wasn't so low as to never tell the truth. The few times she believed she had done something really bad like that time she made Fluttershy cry during a Nightmare Night with her dragon costume, she apologized.

But the truth wass that Rainbow Dash had cried wolf a number of times before. Enough times so that the townspeople of Ponyville weren't exactly ready to believe her story this time.

“I´m telling you, guys! I was just doing my own business, you know practising some skills, doing some maneuvers above the Everfree when suddenly, this huge swarm of fruit bats appeared right out of nowhere! Any other flier would have chickened out right there but not me, I flew right through the swarm, dodging every bats of every colour and the I dove right into the trees. or at least, I thought they were trees because they were actually a pack of raging timberwolves! Roargh, they went! And I was like, you will never catch me! Yeah, that's what I said. I didn't screamed like a little girl or anything, that would be so lame. But anyways, I started running, the timberwolves chasing me through the forest when I jumped over some bushes and they landed right into the pie´s table. See that table there? The one with the blueberry pies? The timberwolves were devouring them all. Somepony had to stop them and I knew that was job for one pony.”

“Which pony?” asked an excited Scootaloo.

“The one and only Rainbow Dash, of course! I grabbed that banner over there, flew around the timberwolves, wrapped them like a nice present and tossed them back into the woods!”

Scootaloo cheered her.

“So, as you can see, I clearly saved the day...minus a few tables.”

The townspeople looked at her, then looked at the mess that was the fair, with all its pies gone, the missing banner and the tables flipped. They looked back at Rainbow Dash who kept her confident smile although you could see a tiny drop of sweat in her face.

“Quite a story, Rainbow...” Applejack said. “I just have one question for you.”

“Shoot me, AJ.”

“If the timberwolves ate all the pies, how come you have blueberry all over your face?”

Rainbow Dash licked her face, tasting the delicious blueberry and said.

“I've got nothing.”

(Silly Rainbow Dash is silly. ^_^)
