All these years, all this time trying to be like you, admiring you, wanting to soar the skies with you; and now..its all over. I have nothing left...

"I´m sorry Rainbow Dash. You´re just not cut for the team. We can´t have you around unless you stop being so reckless."

Reckless. I used to be proud to be called that.

"I´m sorry."

Don´t be Spitfire. Don´t be.

Rainbow Dash spent the next five days locked in her house, not seeing anybody. She even returned Tank to Fluttershy, feeling unworthy to even have a pet. Her friends tried everything to cheer her up; Pinkie tried to throw her a party, Applejack challenged her to a race, Twilight offered to help her train, but nothing worked.

That night Rainbow was crying in her bed, tears still able to roll; when a winged shadow appeared on her window.

"Go away Fluttershy. I don´t want to talk."

"Well, it certainly is a compliment to be mistaken with her but I believe these wings look so much better on me."

"Rarity, what are you doing up here? Did Twilight gave you those wings back?"

"I actually learned the spell myself, that´s why they look even better than before."

Rainbow growled and moved out of the bed. "Please leave, I want to be alone."

"And wallow in...umh, what was it we ponies wallow on again?"

"Look I just don´t want to speak to anybody, okay? I screw up, big time. I finally got the chance to join the Wonderbolts and I ruined it. I had to open my big mouth and show-off. I couldn´t be part of the team."

"Let me ask you something, what do you think of us as a team?"

"The six of us? We are a mess."

Honest as always, Rarity just giggled.

"Twilight barks orders that Pinkie never listens. Fluttershy is scared of her own shadow and I do nothing but argue with Applejack. I´m surprised we managed to do half of the thigns we did."

"And yet we did. Guess that proves you´re team material."

"I know you girls will always be there for me, but the Wonderbolts were my thing, my dream and now, I don´t have it anymore."

"Maybe you need a new dream." and Rarity gently nuzzled Rainbow. She felt electricity rush across her body as the silk and soft coat of her friend caressed her.

"You know, you and me are pretty similar." Rainbow put her defenses now and let Rarity´s arms surround her. "All the others are happy with their small lives but us two, we´re always aiming for more. Always chasing wild dreams." and she planted small kisses all over her neck. "Maybe we should stop."

"Or maybe we could run together." if Rarity was about to say something, Rainbow´s tongue suddenly getting inside her mouth stopped it. Always reckless, always bold, she pinned her no longer just a friend to the ground and tried to overcome her, to win her own, always rushing to the finish line.

"Careful darling. These wings are really sensitive."

Rainbow smirked. "Any other sensible spot of yours?"

Rarity giggled as Rainbow began to slow, she may be stubborn but she could learn a lesson. She could take things slowly. She wanted to.

Dear Spitifre: I want to apologize for some of the things I did and said to you and the other members of the teams. Big Mouth was the perfect nickname for me, I guess. I jsut wanted to tell you that I won´t try again to join the team. Don´t worry, I´m okay. I just realized that I had been chasing the same dream all my life and maybe, just maybe this is the time to stop and think. I´m still running, I´m still fying but now I´m flying towards another dream and I have somebody flying next to me.

Thanks for everything. Your friend Rainbow Dash.
