Another beautiful day in Equestria was keep going in Equestria. The Wind in your mane, a cloudless sky... Everything was perfect for the show in Manehattan for Wonderbolts. Well except one of them, the newbie of the team, Rainbow Dash. It's been four months since she joined the team, however, she was still feeling distinct.

Today was the last show of the first term and she was going to do her best. --No matter what happens. Finally, the time arrived. The team took their places beside the doors. An announcer's boomed in the stadium.

"FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS! HERE ARE THE WONDERBOLTS!"

Spitfire's and Soarin's squads divided into two groups. The first group drew zigzag patterns across the sky and the second one -which was Rainbow in, did very complicated series of twirls and somersaults. Soon two groups united again, created a firework by their trails.

The cheers of the ponies roared in Dash's ears, placing a smile on her face. She saw a little filly yelling her name a colourful banner with "GO RAINBOW DASH!" while she was gazing it, she bumped into Misty Fly, slightly ruining their routine. Misty glared at her very harshly. Dash gulped and proceeded her move.

After series of many magnificent and daring moves, the time of final movement arrived. Rainbow Dash rose in the air, higher and higher... Then dived very rapidly and completed her signature movement, the sonic rainboom. The noise of applauses covered everywhere.

All wonderbolts headed to the lockers. Rainbow put a towel around her neck. Boy, this day was surely rough. Everyone congratulated each other. Finally, the first them has ended. Spitfire invited them around.

"EVERYTHING IS ON ME! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" she exclaimed happily.

Rainbow smirked and shook her head. Nearly all of them collapsed her and just a few left. She sighed and idly walked and ran to Misty again.

"Hey watch wherever you're going! This is the second time today." Misty said.

"I-I'm sorry. I was just-"

"Get out from my way. You really are just a Crash!" she brushed herself off, joining the herd.

Several months passed since she hired as a wonderbolt even though she was still facing reactions like that nearly every single day. Whenever she does a simple mistake, sour expressions were shivering her spine like the first snow of winter. What was she doing wrong? All she was trying to be gentle as much as she could.

While she was busy her thoughts, a soft touch on her shoulder brought her back to reality.

"Yo, Crash. Still, in the land of Princess Luna?" Soarin inquired.

"Oh, n-not exactly," Dash replied.

"C'mon Dash. I know you enough that you have a problem."

"I'm OK, Clipper."

"If you say so Crashie."

"Crashie? Pfft, where'd that come from?" Dash chuckled lightly.

"I don't know Crashie. But you like it eh?" he nudged her.

She rolled her eyes and pushed him away. Then got her saddlebag and followed Soarin. When they entered to restaurant everyone was already singing and dancing along. Rainbow and Soarin sat to a table, ordered two ciders. Spitfire welcomed them.

Rainbow soon went to the dance floor and tried to include their dance. Once she found a gap, she placed herself in them but a certain aqua green-maned, light yellow pony pushed her away. 'What the hay?' Dash murmured to herself. She danced a bit and returned to the drinks table. There were no one there.

She watched her drink for a while and flew outside, somewhere further. Dash landed on a big cloud. What was wrong with Misty? Why was she acting so hard like this? Yes, she had bumped into her twice today and yet, she apologised. And she knew that right now nobody cared about her absence. Dash clenched her teeth roughly.

Suddenly she heard a voice calling her name.

"RAINBOW DASH! WHERE ARE YOU?"

She didn't respond it, whoever it was she felt it was pointless to respond.

"DASH ARE YOU THERE?"

Then the owner of the voice noticed a rainbow view and neared her.

"Oh thank Celestia! Where have you been Dash?" he asked.

"None of your business. I wanted to catch some fresh air Soarin."

"But, why? We are having fun here."

"OH YEAH A FUN WITHOUT CARE ABOUT ME!" Rainbow yelled suddenly.

"D-Dash?"

She backed away let few drops flow from her cheeks, sniffling slightly. Soarin frowned at her sight. Something seemed really wrong with her.

"Dash, why are you crying?"

Dash took a deep breath and gave him a very hurt look. "WHY? WHY AM I CRYING? BECAUSE FOR MANY MONTHS I STILL FEEL LIKE A NUISANCE FOR THE TEAM! NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ME! AND ONLY SPITFIRE TALKS WITH ME SERIOUSLY DUE TO HER CAPTAIN DUTIES!" She continued. "AND THEY ARE SHOWING IT AGAIN. I'VE HAD ENOUGH SOARIN!"

Soarin shocked at her statement. This wasn't entirely true, at least for himself. She had saved her like four times and, how could he be ungrateful to her? He leant in removed her tears.

"B-but it's not true Dash."

"W-what do you mean S-Soarin?" Dash replied shakily.

"I always wanted to get to know you better, become closer with you," Soarin said.

"R-really?"

Soarin nodded and handed her a tissue. Moonlight illuminated a possible beginning inside Rainbow, maybe something more...
