If they had been recently hired, the maids: Honey Pot, Velvety Bell, Starry Dusty and her sister Lunar Veiled, would have been in great shock to see their mistress Princess Luna, wearing a white apron over her dark blue long-sleeved T-shirt which was wearing and was cooking.

Luna hums and hums happily to herself at the kitchen stove. She made protein pancakes for herself, swinging her body left and right, her tail happily wagging up her and down through her open indigo pants leg, trying to outline her beautiful goddess figure and hugging her body comfortably her.

"Alessio, my beloved, do you want to try one of the pancakes I just made?" She asked the alicorn turning her head towards her beloved human, "I'd like to hear your honest opinion on this." she said and she go back to the food, flip the pancakes.

Alessio, wearing the black and dark blue tracksuit, whose jacket was left open and you could see the black technical t-shirt underneath, turned to look at her as he was taking some coffee cups from the cupboard, he smiled.

"Of course, Luna. I volunteer to try some. From the way you hum, you're really enjoying the cooking class." she replied as she placed the cups on a tray next to her and, he came up behind her and put his arms around her waist and watched as she was cooking pancakes.

Luna giggled with a warm smile, with one hand on the crossed forearms of her beloved human, as she lifted the pan and poured the prepared pancakes, stacking them on top of a stack of six other previously prepared pancakes on a nearby plate on the sink counter and, poured another batch of pan batter. “Then you will have to wait a while, beloved~.” she purred.

Recently Alessio had started giving cooking lessons to Luna, as she would have liked to try to cook something at least once and, always see her beloved human who occasionally lent a hand to the maids, the dragoness Gardenia and the diamond dogs Biscuit and Bijou at cooking. she wanted to try and Alessio gave her basic lessons. Despite starting with small, manageable disasters in the kitchen, such as: an omelette ended up on the ceiling or everyone found themselves covered in flour only because Luna, while concentrating the magic, felt like sneezing and the flour ended up everywhere -, the lessons were bearing good fruit in the last few days.

Alessio let go and took the twelve cup coffee maker and prepared the coffee, immediately afterwards he took some oranges from the fruit basket and cut them with the knife, he used the citrus juicer to fill a nearby jug with juice, making a mental note that he had to go to do the shopping, at the end of his morning workouts.

"I wonder what your subjects or the nobles of Canterlot would say if they saw you right now, Mistress Luna." Starry Dusty said with a smirk, shared by the other maids, as they looked at Luna and, in the process, picked up the new tablecloth and silverware for the dining room table.

"Oh, it's none of their business. My private life doesn't concern them," she said in a mischievous but fleeting tone, frowning harshly and gripping the handle of the pan as if she wanted to strangle it. "And, if I were them, I would think wisely what to say, before they dared say anything derogatory towards my beloved Alessio." she added seriously.

"If they try, you can always send them to wash dishes for the Canterlot kitchen and have them peel potatoes and vegetables for several months. It certainly wouldn't help their arrogant egos," Alexei said lightly, but chuckling with a smile, shared by Luna and the maids.

And speaking of the maids, Honey Pot and Velvety Bell, they walked out of the kitchen and headed to set the table in the dining room.

"Here it is. It's done~" Luna turned off the stove and poured the pancakes onto another plate, given to her by her favorite waitress Starry Dusty, and patted the pony bat on the head, flapping her wings cutely and purring.

Starry Dusty walked towards Alessio and handed him the plate, he took it, took a fork and cut and put a bite of the pancake prepared for him by Luna in his mouth, looking at her out of the corner of his eye and holding back a smile at seeing the his beloved queen of the night who was very anxious and looked at him with obvious impatience and anxiety.

Not only did the pancake have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, it was light but strong in flavor, cooked to perfection, he chewed and swallowed the bite and looked at Luna with a smile.

"Is very good. Luna, you are improving a lot. Very good." He said.

"Aww~," Luna exclaimed, smiled widely, walked towards her beloved, hugged him and kissed him deeply, which became affectionate, when she parted her lips, she said, "After all, I had a good teacher~. Even Rarity's little sister, Sweetie Belle, said you were a good teacher."

"My mother taught me well." Alessio said modestly, not hiding a nostalgic smile, her thoughts went to her family on Earth that she knows she will never see again. He sighs and looks up. "Anyway. Someone better go and call everyone and tell them breakfast is ready, before everything gets cold." he added, as he turned and placed the full pitcher of fresh orange juice on the tray.

Starry Dusty and her sister Lunar Veiled obeyed and left the kitchen, while Gardenia entered at the same time. The pink and red dragoness smiled when she saw Luna and Alessio and put her hands on her wide hips. Her long tail swayed from side to side slowly.

When she had recently woken up on Alessio and Luna's bed. Gardenia was not only well rested after a nice night of fun spent by her, the other three dragonesses, the four maids and the twelve Diamante dogs with Alessio and Luna. But the dragoness had in mind to prepare some delicacies as breakfast for everyone and, seeing them both in the kitchen, she was a little sad that she hadn't woken up earlier so she could prepare breakfast and enjoy some attention with the two of them alone or with their waiters, they always wanted it. If Gardenia had learned one thing from Alessio it was: First duty and then pleasure. Even if in the case of the dragoness. Although she preferred Duty, Pleasure. But even both at the same time, it spiced up the day.

"Good morning to you both, Alessio and Luna~," she greeted them both warmly, recently she had stopped not using formalities like 'master' and 'mistress' when she addressed them both, as she did not long before .

Hearing Gardenia's voice, Alessio shifted his gaze towards the red and pink dragoness who entered. "Good morning Gardenia, did you sleep-" before he could even finish speaking, he stiffened and stared at her.

Gardenia wore a ruffled salmon pink apron with a bright red heart tied on the front and nothing else. it looked like the fabric of the apron was working overtime to hold her huge plump tits inside her so they wouldn't come out.
Luna seemed to have gotten used to the ways of the pink and red dragoness, she greeted her warmly, while Alessio, who found it difficult to get used to her ways, was for a few moments stunned by Gardenia's appearance, looked away and let out a reassuring sigh, maintaining his eye contact only on her face and not on the other exposed parts of her curvy body.

"Yes, I slept well, my mate~." Gardenia said smiling with one arm under her plump breasts barely covered by the apron, lifting them up invitingly, forming a cleavage pressed together, almost exposing the top of her enormous breasts above the apron.

Alessio nodded as he turned, with his back to her, in the meantime he took another smaller pan from the lower level of the kitchen, put it on the stove, went to the refrigerator, opened the door and took a couple of eggs and closed the door . "Anyway, breakfast is ready. Do you want me to prepare something for you?-" He asked as he broke the eggs on the edge of the pan and letting them fry.

Gardenia smiled seductively as she came up behind him. "Thank you so much~. I leave the choice to you~". she say with a lustly smirk. Pressing her body against him and, Alessio felt her huge soft breasts against his back.

Luna smirked as she began placing her own plate of pancakes on another tray, and said giggled, "Last time, Alessio, you taught me how to make eggs, they almost ended up burnt." she said.

Alessio turned to look at Luna with a blushed face. "That time, you had a distraction from Gardenia, I won't add anything else." he murmured and went back to cooking the eggs.

Luna giggled, smiled, and leaned against the kitchen counter, her hands resting on top of her. “But you also added to that 'distraction' my beloved~, I would like you to remember~” she replied with a smirk.

Alessio made an embarrassed and flushed expression, but he was smiling. "Touché."

He would have liked to add that in reality, that in that moment it was she and Gardenia who had dragged him towards them, to have fun on the table and on the kitchen counter. fortunately their moment of fun was interrupted for a moment due to the slight burning smell coming from the pan. But prudently Alessio, he had decided not to add to say it. out of concern that the scene would repeat itself but, this time. He would have asked Luna and Gardenia to at least let him turn off the hob.

Gardenia smiled, and agains, she hugs him, wrapping her arms around his slim waist and purposely pressing her breasts against Alessio's back. "Aww~ I really appreciate you wanting to prepare breakfast for me, my mate~. But, let me prepare it myself, it seems like the least." she said keeping her hands fortunately away from the crotch of the jeans he was wearing and, breaking into a hug, she took the same pan that was soaking in the sink water and started washing it.

Alessio finished cooking the fried eggs, put them on half the plate with the spatula and looked at Gardenia. The dragoness was bent over the sink and vigorously cleaned the blackened pan. Alessio found himself watching the swinging movement of the enormous breasts, which were about to emerge from the sides of the apron.
He quickly composed himself and apologized to Gardenia and soaked his pan. the dragoness smiled at him seductively as she straightened up and dried the pan, with a light breath of her dragon flame, while placing her right arm horizontally under her breasts, lifting them a little and making them appear very soft and inviting, beyond the fabric of the apron was completely sunk into her cleavage, allowing her breasts to swing freely and be exposed to the fresh air.

Alessio let out a calming breath, "Gardenia. Please, go and put something on," he said in a tone that brooked no reply, even if he was a little flushed.

Gardenia sighed sulkily and nodded, crossing her arms under her breasts and pressing her arms against the sides of her tits lightly but letting him see her. such boobs pressed together so soft and anything could fit in between. "Aww~ Okay, my mate~ Don't tell me you don't like the view, though~" she added as she walked past him, placing a hand on his chest, caressing him, and walked towards the door, swinging her wide hips and long tail. seductive rhythm.

Luna shook her head with a smile, she knew that Gardenia was very bold and she wanted to show how bold she was to Alessio, the dragoness enjoyed a lot provoking him and teasing him like that, aware that he didn't like her coming to him like a horny female. And then, she casually lowered her eyes and saw judging by the tent in Alessio's jeans that despite him saying, his body was getting excited. But she knew that her beloved knew when to join in or start the fun with her. But teasing him was always a source of fun about being a couple.

"Come on, my beloved, let's go, my whole breakfast is really getting cold," Luna said with a smile, drawing Alessio's attention as she was sighing. He looked at her and smiled nodding.

"Yes. There are many things that I will struggle to get used to," Alessio murmured, taking his own tray, he headed for the door just as the maids were returning and were also taking other trays and taking them to the dining room.

"Oh~. Like Gardenia causing that way?~". Luna said flirtatiously as she magically levitated the tray.

"That's for certain" was Alessio's dry reply and he was ready to swear he heard Luna giggling at his expense in a low voice. Alessio snorted but smiled.

Arriving in the dining room, Alessio saw the twelve Diamond Dogs and, as with Gardenia's ways, if there was one other thing he had to get used to it was the fact that all twelve diamond dogs were walking around the house, in bras or sports bras, tank tops and panties or shorts that emphasized their beautiful curvy and curvy shapes, there were also exceptions who were dressed normally but the above exceptions were very few, although it was a sight that never got boring.
He saw that the other three dragonesses had also entered: Ruby, Diana and Shade, all three took their places at the table, after greeting everyone and after the diamond dogs' turn, they too kissed and rubbed their faces against Alessio's neck and cheek. .
Gardenia returned shortly after, wearing a red tank top and shorts demin that seemed smaller than her size and exposed half of her buttocks to the air.

Alessio took a seat at the head of the table together with Luna and among them was their daughter Moonlight, then, all together, including the waitresses who had taken their places at the table to have breakfast as if they were a family and talked about what programs they had in mind for the day.

* More later *

Alessio was seated at his and Luna's desk, he had stopped for a moment from helping Luna with what had also become his paperwork tasks duties, to read the only letter that had been delivered to him by the royal guard mare of the gate.

He had received a letter from his good friend Spitfire. He began to read it: The letter was mainly written as a thank you, for helping Amber Moon with the process. But there was also something else written: an offer that she wants him to participate in. This offer was as follows:

Every year she and the other captains all gather at Wonderbolt Academy in honor of their new recruits into the Academy. She invited him to come visit them and visit the academy as the recent Night King, and not only would that please her and Soarin to see their friend. But having a VIP visit as well would boost and help the morale of the new recruits. It is written in addition, that knowing that he was good at socializing, he would also be good at helping out the said recruits.

While Alessio was reading he thought that Spitfire had thought of killing two birds with one stone; seeing a good friend again and, the Wonderbolt Academy would make a good impression on a visiting VIP. He continues to read the letter. From what he read. Spitfire offered him access to the entire academy, a room to stay in with free meals and finally some tickets to future Wonderbolt shows of his choice whether normal or VIP and, a uniform to wear.

Alessio, knowing that Spifire is a good friend, immediately wrote her a reply letter, explaining that he would like to come, not only as a friend, but also as the King of the Night. He sent it and would wait for the response.

Luna was happy after Alessio had explained to her the letter he had received from his friend Spitfire and what he would do for them.

Alessio told her that he would go to tell Twilight and the others the good news and asked himself when the answer would arrive. Then, with the kiss of the Luna again on the lips, he left the house and went quickly to meet his mares friends.
He could just imagine the Rainbow Dash reaction: when he would tell her: who asked him to come to the Academy.

Taking a short run, adjusting the breath at each step. Alessio reached the open field and sees his friends mares who enjoy their day by making a picnic under the home of Rainbow Dash. As he knew he found them. After all, knowing his mares-friends, they would have been together to wait with Rainbow Dash, the delivery of the acceptance letter of the Wondebolts Academy, as for the whole month, Rainbow Dash was waiting for delivery.

From the distance of where he was, Alessio saw that Pinkie Pie was jumping in the round so many times around the mailbox and the picnic tablecloth.

"Ooooh, I wish the mailpony would just come already! I can't wait another minute to find out if Rainbow Dash got in or not!" The mare party exclaims stopping suddenly and sat down hugging their legs and putting her hands on the thick mane.

Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes, "Pinkie Pie, you're more nervous than Rainbow Dash." she said before looking at the said interested person next to her.

"If you get in! If you get in! Wait to say it!" she exclaims.

"I'm telling you, it's safe," Rainbow insisted in a very confident tone.

"Wait to say it!" Pinkie she exclaims again.

Alessio preferred not to interrupt the conversation and remained to observe, although he couldn't help but wonder, as well as how Rainbow Dash could be so calm when she should be at least a little tense, if her mare friends had seen it.

"But did they see me?" I think Alessio as he had his hands in his pockets and approached, continuing to look at his friend's mares.

"She is the best flyer in Ponyville." says AJ after a bite to apple she have grap from basket.

"In Ponyville?" Rainbow Dash exclaims rising into the air and darting towards a nearby cloud at high speed, she manipulated it into a slide shape and let herself slide on her back. "I'm probably the best flyer in all of Equestria. I wouldn't be surprised if they went ahead and made me one of the Wonderbolts on day one." she added, flying on her back, with her hands behind her head.

"For sure. Modesty is not something you want to show Dashie" Alessio said as he approached in front of his friendly mares, catching their attention, they turned and smiled at him warmly as they stood up and hugged him, kissing him in turn.

Rainbow Dash smirked and veered slightly so that, flying on her back, she approached Alessio and first annoyed him with the wind by the continuous waving of her wings, then by her tail that tickled his neck and passed in front of his nose.

Alessio smiled following Rainbow Dash with his gaze, but before he was about to tell her and her marefriends the good news.

"Got a letter here for Rainbow Dash" everyone suddenly hears a male voice.

Alessio and his marefriends see a light tanned postman pony with a red mane approaching and stopping. Rainbow Dash lands in front of the mailman, who hands her a letter.

"Yee. Rainbow got her acceptance letter today!." Pinkie jumped with joy.

Rainbow Dash has a confident expression on her face as she takes the letter, she thanks the mailman, and then, carefully opens the letter. Alessio smiled a little nervously as she quickly read the letter.

“So, Darling, what does it say?”. Rarity asks Rainbow if she enter in or not.

Rainbow Dash looks at her again before frowning at all the ponies and Alessio, lowering her ears to her head. “I… didn't get in, I wasn't accepted,” she said sadly.

Everyone was shocked and gasped at the news and couldn't believe it. But only a few seconds as Rainbow's frown quickly turned into a wide smile. "Gotcha! Ha, you guys are so gullible. Like I wasn't gonna get in!" she exclaims.

Rainbow Dash's friends' expressions changed to saying, 'that wasn't funny,' before turning to relief and happiness at the good news of their friend's acceptance.

"I entered!" flip the letter over revealing a large green check mark on it. "What did I say? There were doubts that I would be able to join the Wonderbolts." She happily flies through the air doing some somersaults in excitement at her acceptance. Finally lands and lets everyone see her acceptance letter.

Alessio, Twilight and her friends smile as Rainbow passed the academic test, met their requirements and exceeded their expectations.

Alessio smiled as he wrapped his right arm around Rainbow's shoulders and held her close, as he was doing with his other arm with Twilight. Rainbow Dash blushed soft, then she smiled and leaned against her colt-friend as she read with him the list of items she must bring with her during her stay at the academy. Mostly basic items like clothes, toothbrush, personal items, etc.

"Congratulations Dashie." He said giving her a kiss on the cheek. he smiled as he saw the reaction of his friend-mare and felt her wrap and tighten her tail around his left leg. While he saw and was even a little surprised by the date he was supposed to leave for the academy: the opening day of the academy.
As it was written in the letter he had received from Spitfire and that he was still waiting for a response from her.

"Well Darling, looks like you have a week before you have to leave" Rarity smiles.

“Yeah, I can’t wait,” Rainbow Dash exclaims, happy as she was when that day finally arrived. Her chance to become a Wonderbolt like her mother was, is finally happening and she must show all her abilities to overcome it.

Pinkie in the blink of an eye, was in the air and tackled Rainbow and after a roll of the two of at least half a meter on the grass, she was hugging her in bone-crushing fashion. Rainbow was making an embarrassed expression. "Gotcha! I'm sooo happy for you!!" she exclaimed, holding her friend's Pegasus as if it were a plush.

"Thank. Pinkie.. please. Loosen your grip a little!" she said, her voice tightened by her friend's iron grip.

Pinkie gave her friend one last hug and Rainbow's expression became a grimace of pain, then of relief when Pinkie let go. "There. I'm done. But I'm so happy! I'm super, mega happy. My, my best friend got accepted into Wondebolts Academy. Ohh, I can throw a 'good luck the Wonderbolts party' at Sugarcube Corner!. Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll do it like this." The more she talked, the more happily she bounced on her heels, even doing little bounces, which was fine, except that Pinkie was wearing a loose t-shirt and her breasts were bouncing vigorously inside the T-shirt.

Alessio turned his gaze on Rainbow who was opening her wings and stroking them to smooth her feathers and regain sensitivity after the tight embrace of their friend Pinkie. He approaches her and hugs her tightly.

“Congratulations Dashie,” Alessio said with a warm smile and decided to tell them the good news. "Since we're on the subject of good news. I also have some good news to give you" he added, loosening the hug and turning his gaze to his marefriends, who looked at him curiously.

Alessio took a moment, "Today I received a letter from the Wondebolts Academy, specifically from Spitfire who invited me to visit the academy as.. King of the Night, as well as his friend." he concluded in a lower tone, he still had to get used to his regal title.

Rainbow next to him was completely stunned by what Alessio just said. That he was her lover, she had received a letter. The same day she received her Acceptance letter from Wonderbolts Academy. she spread her wings, as looking at him. "What did you just say?" She asked as if to make sure she had heard correctly,

Alessio looks at her and repeats what he had just said, that he was going to Wonderbolt Academy as a VIP visit as King of the Night, at Spitfire's invitation. At the same time he finished the sentence. Rainbow Dash as fast as she was, tackled him to the ground with a push with a flap of her wings, enough to take the breath out of Alessio's lungs and pin him to the ground.

"So you mean we'll see each other at the academy too?!." Rainbow exclaimed sitting on his abdomen, flapping her wingtips frantically, looking up at him.

"Owww" groaned Alessio, panting for a moment to catch his breath, staring at the sky before seeing in his field of vision, the beautiful face of his speed pegasus marefriends and her smile eager to receive his answer. "It depends on when Spitfire's response will reach me. Yes. There is a remote possibility that we will see each other at the Academy" he murmurs in a voice enriched by pain.

Rainbow couldn't tell if she was doubly happy that, in addition to having received the acceptance letter for the Wonderbolts academy, that her colt-friend would be at the academy visiting and could see her. "How nice, how nice, how nice" she thought.

Suddenly she and Alessio heard Pinkie Pie giggling happily as towards them and without warning, they were both bombarded by the party mare. "How nice. I'm taking action too! Me too!". she giggles.

Not to be outdone, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, and Fluttershy also leaped onto Alexei and Rainbow Dash in a tangle of arms and legs and bodies pressed together.
Alessio let out a faint moan, now out of breath and, with a rather painful smile, he think that he never bored us with his mare friends, however he would have appreciated it a little if they didn't all do the same thing, like now. "oww".

A few minutes later, everyone sat back down on the picnic blanket, Twilight had taken her permanent place of sitting sideways on Alessio's lap, but this time Rainbow Dash was on Alessio's right and snuggled into him. While Alessio, he began to explain that his visit to the academy, as soon as he receives the response from Spitfire, since he and Spitfire are friends, was both as a friend and as King of the Night, to boost the morale of the new recruits and possibly help her with the new ones recruits, to the limits of what is possible, he obviously clarified.

Twilight thought about it and said the same thought that Alessio had that not only would the academy look good with a visiting VIP present, but if Alessio would lend a hand occasionally, it would boost the morale of the new recruits.

Alessio specified that he would help the recruits, within certain limits and would not engage in any nepotism. He knew that he could get in trouble if he did it out of bounds, even if he was the king.

Rainbow smiled saying that even his mere presence would encourage all the new recruits to get busy and asked him to let her know when Spitfire's response would arrive to find out when he would be going to the Academy too.

Alessio replied that he hoped the answer would arrive today, but he would inform her immediately when the answer arrived.

The rest of the day went better after a quick party from Pinkie Pie at Sugarcube Corner.

Alessio invites Rainbow Dash to dinner at her house, which Rainbow accepts and together they head home. Once you arrive and enter the house. After the round of greetings to the waitresses, the dragonesses and the diamond dogs. Luna was really surprised by who you brought here and she looked like she was going to say something to her beloved Alessio.

In fact, Spitfire's sent a reply letter had arrived that day. Alessio, Luna and Rainbow Dash read the letter together and Rainbow Dash happily discovered that Alessio was leaving. The same day she was leaving for the academy.

After another conversation, in which Rainbow and Alessio had decided to tell their friends the new good news the next day. Rainbow Dash said that what bothered her a little was that unlike the aviator school, Wonderbolt Academy would not accept a griffon like Gilda. Alessio thought about it, he knew it might be difficult, but he would still have tried to ask Spitfire to convince the academy to accept a griffon even just to try to make changes.

It was around 11pm, it was getting late and RD had to go home, but Alessio offered Rainbow Dash to put her up for the night. at another time Rainbow Dash would have accepted, but she politely refused and after a kiss on the lips standing on the doorstep she flew away and went home.

Alessio watches her go, then closes the door, after saying good night to the maids, to the diamond dogs, he notice that while he was saying goodbye to the dragonesses, Gardenia was missing and, as he went up the stairs to go to his room, not before going to check his daughter Moonlight. When Alessio enters his room and Luna. He saw Luna lying on the bed in all her naked glory, with Gardenia lying on her side at the foot of the bed, in all her naked glory.

"Well. My beloved Alessio. The night is still long~" she said with a purring sound, as she magically closed the door and Gardenia giggled as she slowly got down on all fours, with her big ass raised and her huge tits pressed against the bed and smiled seductively. its long tail swings from side to side seductively, its spade tip making semicircles.

"You don't want to keep us both waiting~" she purred.

Alessio smiled as he approached the bed. Gardenia sat up and kissed him as she grabbed his clothes, for what comes after her. Another night of fun with a princess and a horny dragoness.

To prevent Gardenia from ripping Alessio's clothes off, Luna used magic to undress him and the fun immediately began. Where Gardenia she placed herself between Alessio's legs and wrapped her ample breasts around Alessio's manhood and began rubbing against his manhood while tenderly licking the tip protruded from the top of her tits pressed and flattened by how soft they were from her hands.

After several long hours of fun, changing different positions. Alessio, Luna and Gardenia are exhausted and let sleep take over.

* One week later, departure day *

The day of departure had finally arrived, Alessio had taken with him only one piece of luggage with everything necessary for his stay and had told Luna that if the carriage were to arrive to pick him up to take him to the Wonderbolts Academy, he would wait in front of the Rainbow Dash's house.

In fact he, together with his maresfriends were in front of Rainbow Dash's house. Which she was thrilled and couldn't wait to leave. Her friends hugged her in turn, finally Alessio kissed her and told her that he would see her again at the Academy and of her, Rainbow gave him an arrogant smile and told him that for sure he would only have his eyes on her.

"The sooner I get there, the sooner I can show them what I can do!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she took off, first darting towards Fluttershy and Applejack who had lifted the large bags of RD's light luggage, she took the luggage landing, propping up her hooves, making a small furrow and, with a quick flap of her wings, she arrived in front of Alessio and she kiss him right away.

"See you at the academy, Alessio." she said breaking the kiss and then turning to everyone, she added. "See you in a week!"

"Good luck!" Says Applejack

"Won't need it!" Rainbow replied with a giggle. And with that, Rainbow quickly darted away.

Alessio smiled seeing Rainbow walk away. 'I'll see you soon Dashie' he thought, before seeing Pinkie run forward and pull a large megaphone out of who knows where, He heard the megaphone feedback.

"DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!!!" Pinkie exclaimed and the echo spreads, then she turned and addressed her friends and Alessio. “Do you think she heard me?”

Alessio felt dazed and his ears were still ringing even though he had had time to cover his ears. he looked at his friendly mares who, in addition to being dazed, also had disheveled manes. Twilight, who like him had plugged her ears beforehand, was rubbing her ears to unplug them, as they did too.

"Very loud and clear, Pinkie. Rainbow Dash sure heard you." Alessio raised his voice a little then kept it normal, feeling that his hearing was returning to normal.
Suddely he heard a noise and saw that a flying carriage without a roof had arrived, pulled by two bat pony guards, who were careening from side to side and landed with difficulty and the two guards were rubbing their ears, shouting to Alessio that his carriage had arrived and the other guard was telling the other what he had said.

Even for Alessio it was time to go, he hugged and gave a kiss to his marefriends in turn and reassured Pinkie that he would remind Rainbow Dash to write and he in turn would write to them, before boarding the carriage, he started comfortable and he watch them as the flying carriage takes off for its next destination: Wonderbolts Academy.

* Wonderbolt Academy *

Alessio was looking at the high mountain in front of the carriage where the flat top as if cut cleanly cut cleanly like a log, was the Wonderbolts with the buildings in the distance and what was similar to the landing strip, which was curious since with the exception of airships, in Equestria there were no planes, moreover that peculiarity had intrigued him quite a bit and several hypotheses came to mind, but the guard's voice caught his attention.

"We have arrived at our destination, Your Highness. The Wonderbolts Academy."

"The Worm Abacus?. Are you sure?. That and Wonderbolts Academy.." said the other guard who seemed like his hearing still hadn't fully recovered after the amplified scream from Pinkie Pie's megaphone, only half an hour ago.

Alessio slowly leaned over and changed seats and turned to the guards. "Thank you, drop me a little distance from the main building, a walk won't be bad" he said.

The guard nodded, while the other with his hearing still a little sore, he was perplexed, but nodded when the other guard mentioned what the human had said, Alessio added to the two guards, to go and get a medical examination and take a couple of days off.

The guards did as Alessio asked, they landed and let him get off about a hundred meters away from the main building. after thanking the two guards and seeing them go away, he turned on his heel and headed in the direction of the Academy.

As he walked Alessio glimpsed above, the flying figure of Rainbow Dash who was doing the wide tour, probably like him, she was doing the paronamomic tour of the Academy. he shifted his gaze and saw beyond several pegasus lined up ready to begin a drill. Looking up, did he see any smoke rings or clouds? where some pegasus were maneuvering past us.

Arriving at the entrance of the academy, he saw a couple of security guards and among them Alexei saw a light blue and dark blue Pegasus stallion that he knew. Soarin, co leader of the Wonderbolts, and one of his friends, who saw him, smiles and walks towards him.

As Soarin approached him, Alessio could see that the pegasus was wearing his favorite dark blue jacket with a pair of running jeans.

"Alessio. ahem. I mean, Your Highness, Welcome to the Wonderbolts Academy. I was wondering why the carriage landed a little far away." he said undecided whether to greet him as his friend or using the royal title.
Alessio reached out and grabbed his hand and shook it as he greeted him, before giving him a friendly hug.

"As I wrote in Spitfire's letter. The choice is yours. I'm here as both a friend and the Night King. And, a walk to see the Academy wasn't a bad idea."

Soarin chuckles and, smiled, for then, motioned to Alessio to follow him, he apologized if it wasn't Spitfire to welcome him, she was waiting for the arrival of the new recruits and the co-leader of the Wonderbolts, proposed to Alessio whether to immediately take a short tour in the most important parts of academy or would like to go to his room to leave his luggage.

"If you show me my room, I'll leave my luggage, I'll take care of sorting everything later. So we'll take the tour and wait for Spitfire to greet her.' Alessio said looking at his friend.

Soarin smiled and led the way, as he spoke passing in front of the windows of one of the corridors of the Wonderbolt Academy, pointing through the glass to some buildings on the opposite side of the track, not so far from those that resembled hangars but made of clouds, which there were several dormitories down there where the young recruits will stay. Soarin then explains to his friend that Spitfire had managed to get Alessio a room for him, usually single rooms were mostly for the captain and trainers, but she was sure he would be appreciated. They stopped at the beginning of another corridor and Soarin handed Alessio the keys to the room assigned to him. Alessio thanked him and told him that it wouldn't take him long.

Alessio enters the room and lets my gaze wander. It was a nice little room with a desk, some shelves, and a nice king size bed on the side with a window overlooking the academy. He put my luggage on the bed and left the room. He return to Soarin and set off with him to take a look at the academy. The building was huge as some rooms were classrooms of some kind of subject. The courses always ranged from aerobatics but also many varieties of learning. From math to science, English to history, even learning physics and chemistry through some of these lessons.

Alessio guesses that new recruits need to know this to help them fly faster, higher and perform stunts that would seem impossible to do.

One of the security guards interrupted Soarin and Alessio's tour, to call the co-leader to warn him that the new recruits had arrived. Alessio told his friend to go ahead and he would wait for him at the Hall of Fame. Soarin smiled and then told the guard to stand at the door and that the Night King's safety was under his care, the guard nodded, while the co leader ran into along the corridor.

Alessio walked through the Hall of Fame room of former and new Wonderbolt captains, saw some names on commemorative plaques and honors that he was sorry he hadn't documented, but he would ask Spitfire or Soarin questions when the time came. He smiled as he watched as a large polished brass statue stood overhead. He admits that the creators of this work put their heart into their work, even making the statue's mane look like it had it on during the flight.

Alessio read a name on the license plate: Stormy Flare. And he saw near the statue, a framed team photo, where in the center was the mare resembling the statue. and he recognized a familiar mare next to Stormy Flare: Windy Whistles, Rainbow Dash's mother and former Wonderbolts member.

Alessio smiled and looked at the photo then again at the statue, then turned to the one next to it. He looked like a well-built stallion with a unique lightning-like mane, determined gaze and wide-open wings. He looked down at the bronze plaque below.

To the Memory.
Lightning Bolt.
Loving father, good friend, a dear grandfather, and the wisest prodigy Equestria has ever served.

Alessio put his hands in his jacket pocket, while staring at the plaque, he looked up at the statue and stared at it. He stared at the statue for a few minutes. Before hearing someone walking behind him.
He turns his head, seeing that Soarin had returned and walks towards him.

"Here I am, back." he said as he stopped, then turned towards what Alessio was interpreting and smiled. “It's been a while since I've been here. I guess I haven't gotten over Lightning Bolt's passing after these years." He said and finished with a sigh trying to keep his smile as he looks up at the statue.

Alessio looked at him raising an eyebrow and didn't miss the saddened tone and sad look of his friend who was trying to smile to hide his sadness. "He was.. an idol for you by any chance?" he asked.

Soarin nodded with a deep sigh, stopped smiling, lowered his ears showing that he was sad. “Yes… you guessed it. He is… well, he was my idol a long time ago. I used to go to his colt shows with my parents and, I trained hard to become a Wonderbolt. But after he died, even I almost fell into depression." His frown slowly turns into a smile. "But Spitfire helped me get back on track and continue, even though he's gone, his spirit still lives with us guiding us towards our goals and, helping us soar in the great skies above." He salutes for bravery at the statue of his idol.

"Nice words, Soarin. I mean it. The memory of not forgetting, always makes the memory vivid." Alessio said looking at the statue. He had to admit that he was a little surprised that his friend Soarin had almost fallen into depression when his idol died, but with Spitfire's help he got back on his feet.

Soarin looked at him surprised by his words, smiled. "Exactly."

"What happened to him?." Alessio asked, moving his gaze from the statue to his friend and, he saw that another pegasus, dressed as a janitor, had entered and seemed to have to start cleaning.

"How did he die? That's the strange thing... he died of a heart attack." Soarin replied with a bit of confusion in his tone. “He was about 50 years old but despite that he was a healthy stallion. Heck, in a race he would beat all of us seasoned pros in a race without breaking a sweat." He lets out a sigh. “But one day he…. He stopped and… died somehow before the fall.” he explain.

"Who did he leave when he died?" Alessio asked, noticing a framed photo near the statue. he saw a green stallion that he guessed from its resemblance to the statue was Lighting Bolt himself, but there was only in the photo a green pegasus filly with a blond mane and tail, smiling on the stallion's shoulders.

Soarin frowns and points to the photo. "Lighting Bolt had a niece, a brother, but I don't know their names. But I know that his childhood friend resigned from the Wonderbolts, immediately after the tragedy. I think his name was Peregrine Falcon..." he said, first that he and Alessio jumped when suddenly they heard something fall to the floor, they turned and saw that the pegasus janitor who had come in and was sweeping the floor, was picking up the brush that had ended up on the floor, raising his hand in silent apology .

Alessio looks back at Soarin, "A little strange that Lighting Bolt's friend, resigned after his friend's death. You said Lightning Bolt's death, you said he died due to heart attack, but you thought it was something else. Why?" he asks.

Soarin shrugs. “I'm not sure. I was a colt at the time, it was mostly my gut feeling until I grew up. But it still didn't cross my mind.” he rubs his head as the same gut feeling returns after all those years.

Alessio shifts his gaze towards the statue. There were probably several factors that could have caused Soarin's idol to have a heart attack. Too many to list them all. which could cloud Soarin's judgment and himself. I get up and pat him on the shoulder. "If it can be given to you, I understand how you feel," he said in solidarity.

Soarin smiles slightly before patting your shoulder several times. “Now now, don't be so sappy with me, my friend. Also, we need you to be in top shape when on your visit, you get to try out the new sexy but- I mean strong new cadets.” he slowly backtracked on what he was about to say since the one pony he wished hadn't been behind him.

Alessio gave him a look that said it all, devoid of any smile. But he couldn't help but gulp too when Soarin slowly turns around to reveal a pissed off captain.
She wore a special uniform fit for a general complete with medals and ribbons of honor. She didn't wear a hat, yet she managed to keep her mane in the same flamboyant style she always had.

"What was that Soarin? I hope you didn't give our king any thought, did you?" she leans forward and glares at him.

"What Noo!" he shakes his head denying the accusation. “I was just… Uh” she scratches her head trying her best to come up with an excuse. He remembers that the last time he was caught saying something like this, resulting in him having to wear several weights on his back and do a hundred laps around the entire academy. No breaks either. It's been a tough week, that's for sure.

Alessio feared that his friend was being punished for his idiocy, he turned to Spitfire. "Actually he was saying that your new recruits are almost at the presentation, right?" you smile weakly hoping you were right.
Soarin nodded so quickly that Alessio doubted, but only for a moment, that his friend was really the co-leader of the Wonderbolts and not a recruit.

Spitfire pursing her lips lets out a small sigh. "Currently yes. They're waiting on the field again right now," he said, before adding. "Do you wish to assist, Night King? I hope Soarin, has given you, your special uniform, right?" he concluded while looking at said pegasus stallion.

Soarin remembers the blue box he had with him and gives it to Alessio. 'I was just about to do it now before you arrived. Captain Spitifre, ma'am."

Alessio nods as he took the bag and put it under his arm. "Give me ten minutes to change clothes and I'll meet you at the training ground, Captain Spitfire. Ma'am," he said.

Spitfire looked at him and smirked. "I'll give you five. Not three. Night's King."

Nodding, they all decide to return to the training ground. Spitfire led the way, however Soarin decided to run a little faster as she continued to glare daggers at him. Seeing that she needed to escape quickly, Alessio could see both wonderbolts running at top speed away from him. Giggling at how childish they both are, he then turns to the statue of Lighting Bolt and not wanting to be late, He quicken my pace, but as he closes the door to the Hall of Fame. He notice that the pegasus janitor from earlier, was cleaning nearby and he was interrupted to observe the statue and bow his head and take off his cap.

Alessio stared at him for a moment, but not wanting to be late, he closed the door and quickly went back to his room.

Returning to his accommodation, Alessio opened the small blue box, containing his Wonderbolt suit which had been carefully ironed and included a sky blue shirt with collar, a tie, blue trousers complete with a belt. He quickly puts them on, looks in the mirror, straightens up and adjusts the tie he would have liked to do without, and goes out and starts running in the direction of the Wondebolt training ground.

*Wonderbolt Training Camp*

Alessio arrived at the training ground in record time. another minute and he would have been the one running who knows how many laps around the entire field, but he reached Spitfire, who was wearing sunglasses with purple lenses, Alessio took out black aviator sunglasses and put them on instead of his sunglasses. view.
Dusting your clothes. He and Spitfire stood together as the new recruits all lined up together and were talking. As he headed towards them. Of the 7 new recruits there were some that Alessio knew from the beginning as most of them were from Ponyville.

Alessio smiled when he saw both Thunderlane and Cloudchaser achieve their dreams by being accepted into the Wonderbolts. He was surprised to see Bulk Bicepsi again, normally there were some enhanced studs, however he figured him, Bulk he was more of a body builder or weight trainer than a prodigy. Let's just say he has good tone in some parts, however when it comes to the wonderbolts he is... slightly lacking in flying abilities due to his very small wings. Considering that Bulk Biceps had temporarily worked with him at the spa, Alessio still hope he came into his own here.

Alessio observed some other faces, gave a small nod at the sight of his speed marefriend standing proud and ready for attention.

Alessio remained behind near and between the two security guards, taking off his sunglasses and replacing them with prescription ones, then remained with his hands at his sides, observing.

"Well, lookie what we got here" says Spitfire walking ahead of the recruits.

“Okay, Maggot's! Think you have what it takes to become an elite aviator? I bet you think you're a good fit for Wonderbolt, right?" Spitfire walks ahead of them and looks at each new recruit like an army major or drill sergeant.

“ Yes, ma'am!” all the new recruits shouted.

"Well then. Let me be the first to tell you... You don't! If you had what it took to be an elite flyer, you'd already be a Wonderbolt!" Spitfire stops and, looks over and leans towards Cloudchaser. "Do you still think you're something special?"

“No, ma’am!” Cloudchaser tried to say it in the highest tone he could muster.

Alessio felt sorry for the poor mare like her, but he knew that the Wonderbolts weren't just artists, they also worked with the royal guards. She spifire might seem like she was acting as a punishment, in reality she was empowering them and making them all understand that she would be tough. A price to pay when joining the Wonderbolts. There were no softies on the team.

Spitfire then turned to Bulk, observing his appearance and then his wings, giving him dead eyes, "Ya think you're good?" she comments. The strong pegasus seemed on the verge of fainting, but managed to remain calm and not show tension.

Alessio saw that, Spitfire then turns to his marefriend. “You look like you're the worst flyer in the whole academy! You'll probably quit after the first day!!” she exclaimed to Rainbow Dash.

Alessio frowned, even though he was completely stunned by what Spitfire just said. He knew well that Rainbow worked hard to get to where she is now to make his dream come true. "Don't be intimidated Rainbow Dash, let her know how determined you are." he think looking at her marefriend.

"No ma'am! I'd never quit, ma'am!" Rainbow shouted in a firm tone.

"Ha!" Spitfire looked disdainful but, she smiled approvingly.

"Nice response Dashie!" Alessio think without hiding a smile.

Spitfire then turns to the mare next to Rainbow Dash.

And speaking of the mare. Alessio raised an eyebrow as if he had never seen that mare before. She was light turquoise with a bright amber mane and tail and toned with gold undertones, her mane also kept in a smooth Mohawk style. Her height and physique similar to that of Rainbow Dash.

Alessio hypothesized that that mare came from another part of Equestria, looking at her he had the feeling of having already seen her... where? if he was asking. One thing was for sure, he had the same cocky smirk as Rainbow Dash.

"What about you? Bet you couldn't fly past the first flagpole without getting winded." Spitfire says at the mare, as looks at her with her hands on her wide hips.

The light turquoise mare didn't look at her but still had her cocky smirk on her face.

"Let me try it. ma'am" she says.

Spitfire's eyes and those of Alessio widened at the unexpected response of the mare. Alessio raises an eyebrow as he sees Spitfire lower the lenses of her sunglasses a little and stare at the recruit who had had the courage or recklessness to respond in kind.

"What's that?" Spitfire's tone was more annoyed than annoyed than angry at her recruit's response. In her life, she had seen ponies who had attempted to respond to her that way with arrogance as if it would be a walk in the park, only to later regret having opened their mouth.

"Let me show you what I've can do, ma'am." The light turquoise mare said, her cocky smirk seeming to be working overtime.
Alessio and Rainbow Dash,

"Ah. So, You want a chance to prove yourself, huh?" Spitfire asked as she placed her sunglasses on her muzzle and adjusted them.

"Yes, ma'am!" said the mare.

Now it was Spitfire's turn to smirk at her. "Well then, now's your chance. Give me five hundred quick laps around the field!," then she turned to the rest of the recruits. "All of you!"

With the exception of Rainbow Dash, the rest of the recruits groaned.
"Now!" Spitfire she exclaims and takes the whistle and whistle.

All the recruits gasped and as quickly as they could they all salute her and start walking around the camp quickly.

Alessio followed them with his gaze, in less than a few minutes he saw that Rainbow Dash was already ahead of all the other beginners, but had been reached and flanked by the light turquoise mare who they were engaging in head-to-head. Looking away, he saw Spitfire timing each lap, keeping an eye on the recruits in the air.

"A severe punishment but necessary for all recruits, in terms of discipline" Alessio comments, looking back and taking a few seconds to spot his marefriend who was taking the laps like a race with that turquoise mare.

'I imagine this is going to be a very long week'. he think Alessio with his hands in his pockets.

*A few hours later*

After the new cadets had done their five hundred sprint laps, the new cadets after going to their dormitories, returned to the training field wearing their new tight fitting cadet uniforms and all of them were ready to test what they are made of.

However Spitfire, had asked Alessio to his dismay, to give a little pep talk to the new cadets, with a VIP like him, current king of the night, the new cadets would have felt even more motivated words said by Spitfire.

Alessio made a short but decisive speech. Concerning beyond the honor of being him like them here at the Wonderbolts Academy, which would have been hard but, if they wanted to be Wonderbolts, such effort would have been worth it, Do not disappoint the expectations of the Academy and of yourselves, respect the ideals of the Wonderbolts and, all of them have potential to be brought out.

Despite the applause of approval from Spitfire and the new cadets. Alessio concluded and this time in his tone there was an amused tone, he added, in addition to the apologies if his speech seemed like that of a commander, he was not and is not an egocentric, but he told the cadets to commit themselves and to get up every time you think you can't do it.

Alessio remained to observe the new cadets doing Wonderbolt training exercises, they were something he had never seen before, then he realized that all of them were pegasus so seeing push-ups using the wings, it was logical to be surprised, but he was surprised at the different exercises mid-air flight training.

But when training for the next route was something never seen before, neither for Alessio nor for the cadets: The Dizzitron.

That disc resembles an Equestria version of the centrifuge, which was supposed to test their reflexes if they felt dizzy or sick during the flight. The green appearance with a purple spiral even when stationary was suggestive and Alessio had already seen the first cadet, somewhat hesitant to go, before Spitfire shouted 'politely' at her to move and go.
Alessio couldn't help but smile when he saw his marefriend Rainbow Dash as excited as a filly to go to a carousel. Ironic as the Dizzitron resembled a carousel.

Alessio crumples as it took some of them a long time to get back to normal and land softly or at least try, but out of all the cadets, he could see two ponies handling the situation better than the others. His marefriend Rainbiw Dash and the light turquoise mare who was named as he discover is, Lightning Dust.
Although somehow Lightning Dust managed to beat Rainbow in 6 and a half seconds.

Alessio assumed that the two must have met during the previous flight, as at the end of the fast laps, they spoke as if they were friends. Alessio didn't have time to talk to either pony and he would do it when he had the chance like when we were all on break.

Alessio stayed to observe some more tests and even some more lessons, some of which he admits he was very interested in. Like that the Wonderbolts had to learn early on, as well as the importance of taking care of certain nerves and muscles of the wings, including the feathers, whenever their wings are very sore or another to land even with only one wing in case of accident during the flight.

Alessio had joined during the lesson, speaking and answering some questions regarding what he was saying. Regarding the sudden turbulences that were natural or during the work of other pegasus nearby, on the possible turbulences of pegasus' wake, - mentally comparing something about the planes on Earth that Alessio had studied out of mere curiosity or simple desire for knowledge -, many of the cadets listened attentively, even the other teacher present nodded in confirmation and was surprised by the knowledge of a creature that did not have wings. Then when the class was over and the student cadets took their leave.

Watching them leave, Alessio followed Lighting Dust with his gaze. Throughout the lesson, including where he spoke, he noticed that she didn't even lift her pencil to take notes or listen. Rainbow Dash had been kind enough to at least do something that made it seem like she understood without risking falling asleep from boredom, but she had been left listening attentively to many of the lectures - including where he spoke -. Instead, Lighting Dust just smiled that arrogant way all day. Almost as if she knew more than him or anyone else, or that she thought the lessons were useless to the Wonderbolts.

She could be a prodigy mare, like one who preferred practice to theory, that she found study was useless. there were too many possibilities. One thing Alessio was sure of: when Lighting Dust responded in kind to Spitfire, he had already made it clear that she was someone to keep an eye on. Alessio wasn't one to judge people by their appearance but, from experience, he knew who was worth keeping an eye on and. There was something in her that he had seen before and he didn't know where.. and, there was in her something doesn't seem right. A premonition, an instinct, that made him uncomfortable and, not to trust her too much and that made him be on the alert.

Once the cadets were gone. Alessio decided to go and do some research on Lighting Dust and find out who he is. He headed towards the archives and, although he was sorry to use his status as king in this way and hoped that his instincts were not clouding his judgement, his hunch told him to continue. He had access to the archive. He searches and finds the Lighting Dust file and he examine it. From her file that he held in his hands, Alessio discovered some information about her. She apparently, like Rainbow and Gilda, attended flight school, except she actually graduated. Upon digging, he discovered that she had won many youth competitions at flight school, always in first place and very rarely in second. Digging where she lived and no trace of where she had worked, then digging a little deeper. It was then that he found a solution to his premonition of having seen her.
Her kinship. She was the filly he had seen in the memorial photo near the statue of Lighting Bolt.

Lightning Dust.. She is Lightning Bolt's granddaughter.

"I guess she want to live in her grandfather's shoes." Alessio thought. This could explain the reason for her anxious and pleased comments.

He put the file back in the archive, however, despite this new information, Alessio's foreboding did not dissipate, there was something in Lighting Dust's smug attitude that he didn't like and kept him on alert.

He put the file back in the archive, however, despite this new information, Alessio's foreboding did not dissipate, there was something in Lighting Dust's smug attitude that he didn't like and kept him on alert. And his hunch and her intuition told him to keep an eye on her attitude.

He left the archive and walked back through the corridors to look for the canteen to go to dinner, when he saw Rainbow Dash, who was still wearing her cadet suit, which was quite tight, especially regarding the hips and breasts.
Rainbow smiled and stopped and kissed Alessio passionately.

“Busy first day huh, Dashie?” She asked Alessio after breaking the kiss.

Rainbow giggles, "Well, Yes. Starting with 500 laps around the field. I competed with Lighting Dust and we've already set some academy record times. Yes, off to a great start on the first day." she said with her hands on her hips, then walked alongside Alessio to reach the canteen.

Once inside, Alessio and Rainbow went to get food and sat at one of the tables, but Alessio proposed to eat together with the other recruits. that way, it wouldn't be an act of nepotism and would put the rest of the cadets at ease. While they ate, chatting with the others about this and that.

Alessio noticed that Lighting Dust wasn't much of a conversationalist, speaking little to the other cadets, with the exception of Rainbow Dash. Only to a curious question from one of the cadet mares. Alessio and Rainbow told her together that it was just a coincidence that they were both at the academy and their relationship wouldn't affect anything in the academy inside and now, they weren't in class or anything. they enjoyed the moment of intimacy as marefriends and coltfriends.

Lighting Dust asked at him, if by any chance he knew anything about who would be assigned as the Main Pony and Winged Pony on the day.

Alessio replied with a sharp reply. "I don't know and it's the Spitfire commander's decision, not mine and I wouldn't say any good words about it." And the conversation ended there.

After dinner, Alessio and Rainbow Dash took a short walk, as there was still time before the curfew went off, they talked, they sat on one of the chairs and Rainbow sat on his lap. A comical moment was that Rainbow was curled up against Alessio, she was ready to kiss him, when she and Alessio saw the old janitor who was cleaning and he had seen them. The elderly pegasus chuckled and said that love was born even where he didn't expect it and he had left them alone. For the whole next moment Rainbow was sitting on the chair red in the face of her and Alessio, who was trying not to laugh.

When Alessio and Rainbow separated to return to their dormitories, Alessio realized he had taken the wrong path, because he was near the Hall of Fame and he noticed that the door was open. He looked and saw the same janitor pegasus from before. that he was looking at a photo on the opposite wall. Turning a blind eye to pretending to visit the lobby again and the statues, even though a part of him, wanted to. He passed by the janitor and read a plaque under the photo he was looking at.

Falcon Peregrine.
Good friend, greatest flyer Equestria has seen.

Alessio observes the photo. He recognized in the photo, Lighting Bolt standing next to a dark gray stallion, thin but strong, with his wings folded at his sides. both smiling and showing the photo the badge, one gold, the other silver.

"If you're wondering, your highness. Yes, he was Lighting Bolt's friend, the one who resigned immediately after his friend's death. However, the newspapers should have specified that he resigned the days after his friend's death. A real shame, Falcon was a good flyer too" the old janitor spoke in a voice hoarse with age, without looking at Alessio.

Alessio remembers that, during their walk, Rainbow Dash aside to talk about her mother Windy Whistles, a former Wonderbolts who wants to follow in her footsteps. She had told him about her idol named Falcon Peregrine. That is, a young Wonderbolts,the only one capable of diving and quickly ascending until it touches about twenty meters above the ground or gets so close as to graze it with its hooves before ascending and taking off.

"My marefriend told me about him. The only Wonderbolt capable of diving at high speed with closed wings in free fall and rising as if he had touched the ground with his hooves and given the push to rise back into the skies" Alessio spoke as looked the janitor pegasus.

The old janitor had the smile of someone who knew a lot. "Thank you. And with due respect and without offense, your highness. We say 'go-around' and, yes. Falcon was really good, very good, even though they thought he didn't have skills just because he was skinny, but he was strong and agile. Many people tried to imitate him in his acrobation, and they found themselves in the branches of trees or spent weeks in hospital. Even Lighting Bolt tried..." he falls silent and rubs his eyes under his very bushy eyebrows, as thick as the mustache he had. "Sorry. We must honor the dead, even if they were a little unconscious. I wish you a good evening, your highness" he concluded in a strangled voice, then, he walking away, with a slightly limping gait and his wings brushing the floor, towards the door.

"Good evening" Alessio reciprocates, continuing to look at the janitor, then the photo and finally, he leaves the Hall of fame and returns to the room, ready to go to sleep early.

* Next day *

Alessio entered the canteen and, seeing that his marefriend Rainbow Dash was not there, he frowned wondering where she had ended up, he assumed that she was already at the training field together with her second, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that there 'all the other seven cadets were present in the mess. He went out of the canteen and tried to look for her and, he didn't have to look long, because he saw Rainbow leaving Spitfire's office.

“Hey Dashie, honey, are you okay?” Alessio approached her while Rainbow walked with her head down, away from Spitfire's office. She pricks up her ears and looks up and gives a faint smile.

“Yes I am. It's just that…” she scratches her head a little and sighs. "I couldn't become the main pony"

Alessio frowns at what Rainbow said, he really hoped she would take the lead pony. From what he had learned from Spitfire, for some cadets two ponies will ride together. One is the main pony, the other the winged pony. Please remember that the new roles are posted on the canteen wall to be viewed immediately at the beginning of the day before or after breakfast.

"So. Who's the main pony?" Alessio asked her, while wondering who competed better than her.

“Lighting is the main pony, I'm his winged pony” RD sighs a little disappointed that someone else got the better role than him. She's always worked hard to get the top pony and having someone else beat her at what she does best made her feel a little.. depressed.

Alexei was a little shocked to know who Rainbow Dash's winged pony is. He approaches her and hugs her. "I'm sorry darling, don't worry, if the instructors see your skills as I know them, they will understand that you are a good leader, even if it were from another group. We all start from the basics, don't get Alexei was a little shocked to know who Rainbow Dash's winged pony is. He approaches her and hugs her. "I'm sorry darling, don't worry, if the instructors see your skills as I know them, they will understand that you are a good leader, even if it were from another group. We all start from the basics, don't get discouraged" he concluded, grabbing her shoulders and looking at her in the eyes.

Rainbow Dash looked him in the eyes, smiled and nodded. "Well, yes I think you're right Alessio, now, I think I'd better go for the first exercise today." she concluded as she turns and runs into the hallway. “See you later darling or come watch me if you like~” she waves as she leaves.

Alessio smile as looked her go, then, he frowned as he moved his gaze towards the door of Spitifire's office, he had to talk to her and see clearly about the matter. he approached the door and knocked, waited.
"Open, come in," said the voice he recognized as Spitfire's.

Alessio entered the office and only nodded to the two security guards on either side of the door. The office had a large desk, with a large panoramic window to the outside of the academy and with shutters down. He saw several Wonderbolts-themed trophies and other things, but Alessio's gaze was on Spitfire.

Spitfire had finished delivering some files that needed to be stamped and signed before being sent out, as well as the stack of Wonderbolts flyers to be stamped. She looks up and smiles when she sees Alessio and she gets up from her chair only to say hello, before sitting down again.

“Your Highness… what's wrong?” she asked.

"I would like to talk to you and clarify something" Alessio replied, before turning his gaze to the two security guards who were frowning at him. "In private"

Spitifre didn't miss the Night King's serious tone and, motioned for the two security guards to come out and, once the two pegasus were out. She clasped her hands in front of her face, and she looked at her human friend. "What would you like to clarify?"

"It's about the fact that you paired Rainbow Dash with Lighting Dust and, let me make it clear that I'm talking to you. Not as the Night's King or Rainbow Dash's Coltfriend. But just as your friend. Spitfire. May I know what the reason behind her are you making work together?” Alessio asked seriously with cross arms.

Spitfire raised an eyebrow as this was the second time she had been interrupted on the same topic. “Looks like I said Rainbow this. Lightning Dust performed much better than Rainbow Dash. I thought they could both work together to lead and that I had to play by the rules, that they would be a good team. And Lightning Dust pushes himself a little more than Rainbow Dash, which is why I chose him as team leader. Forgive my frankness, Alessio. Is it clear to you now?". She places her hands on the desk and stands up, leaning forward, looking seriously at Alessio.

"Well... I hope you're right, Spitfire, ma'am. However, I would advise you not to take this matter lightly or by the wing regarding your decision."

Alessio places his hands on the desk on the other side and looks her in the eyes. Comically if anyone had entered at that precise moment, they would have seen the human's face and Spitfire's nose a foot away.

“Look, your highness, I understand your worries about your sea friend, but I promise you that everything will be fine. You don't need to worry, it's okay” Spitfire pats him on the shoulder reassuringly.

Alessio, despite his friend's reassuring words, still can't help but have the feeling that it would be better to keep an eye on Lighting Dust, and, speaking with the captain in front of him, there would be no chance of winning, but he hopes that Spitfire won't made a mistake in her decision.

"Thank you for your time Spitfire. But again as your friend, do not overestimate your decision." Alessio repeats and the seriousness in his voice emphasized the words.

"I'll keep that in mind. Rather. I also know that you've been digging through some private documents and I already know that Lightning Dust is Lightning Bolt's granddaughter." Spitfire sits down carefully, a small smile spreading across her face as nothing in her academy escapes her.

"I had a feeling," Alessio said quickly, he had no illusions. Even with his status as king, his actions certainly didn't go unnoticed, especially within the academy.

“It's been a long time since I talked about my idol too. And also seeing Lightning Dust grow up after that tragic scene, it makes me smile to see that he wanted to follow in his grandfather's footsteps." Spitfire smiled as the memories of her childhood hero still seemed fresh after so long.

"I'm not surprised that Lighting Bolt was your idol, but what do you mean by tragic scene?" Alessio said looking at her, he sat down on the chair when Spitfire motioned for him to sit down. He took a seat, ready to listen to the explanation.

"I wouldn't imagine that Soarin told you about him and what happened to him a long time ago," she takes a deep breath as the good and bad memories flow as she remembers her idol once again.

“Soarin and I were just teenagers. We didn't see what was going to happen, but the news was everywhere that Lightning Bolt had died during his 45th anniversary in the Wonderbolts, I and millions of other fans were devastated when they announced it in the papers." A small frown spread across her face while many fans felt deeply depressed that day.
Including herself and her best friend Soarin.

"What happened after the tragic moment, you said? What do you mean?" Alessio asked.

Spitfire didn't even know if she could tell Alessio what happened that sad day. Her emotions were simply too strong even for her to handle while he read the newspaper at the time. “It's better for you to just see it.” she said in a small voice as she examines the desk, opens and takes out a small brown book from the drawer.

Alessio watches her while Spitfire turns each page, detecting a small or large newspaper clipping, to be an almanac or a scrapbook. Spitfire, scrolling through the pages and the various clippings, finds the article she was looking for and turns the book over to show it to her human friend. "here.. And this"

Alessio carefully looked at the article she showed him and was taken aback by what he saw.

A large image, the size of a postcard, showed several pegasus pony paramedics arranged in a large circle, around a body lying on the ground, while what was blood on the track could be glimpsed, albeit in black and white.

But what lies behind in the background caught Alessio's attention. Right behind the paramedics was a booth where two ponies sat. A heavy, well-dressed pegasus with a blond mane and mustache stood next to him, almost covered by the stallion's wing but another pony was peeking out in tears. Alessio's eyes bulged, recognizing who that pony was, he couldn't believe she was there especially at a moment like that. There was a little filly. Lightning Dust.

Alessio also noticed another pegasus pony to the right of the paramedics in the circle, there were other paramedics who were treating a pegasus that Alessio recognized as Falcon pelegrine. the dark gray pegasus's right wing was twisted and his right leg was at an unnatural angle despite the shade of censorship, it was easy to tell that he had broken his leg.

The shock and sadness on the faces of the filly and the two pegasus stallions was visible.
Alessio looked down in bold letters and read the title of the article.

Lightning Bolt suffered a heart attack during the 45th anniversary performance. Wonderbolt loses one of Equestria's greatest flyers.

Alessio continues reading the article, we see that it is only basic information that the journalist was able to obtain at the time. What happened, during the duo performance where Peregrine Falcon and Lighting Bolt were flying side by side, before during Peregrine Falcon's free fall and his famous 'go-Around'. And Lighting Bolt was following him from another angle and they were about to cross paths, to do for the first time in Wonderbolt history, a cross go-around and the subsequent Falcon double barrel roll move. Before Lighting Bolt suddenly stopped in flight and began to fall. Falcon intervened to help his friend and they both crashed to the ground. Falcon suffered a fracture of his right wing and leg, while the medical team did everything to save Lighting Bolt, but there was nothing they could do.
The last paragraph explained what Lightning Bolt was celebrating and that he not only brought Lightning Dust, his niece, to watch with her uncle and Lighting Bolt's brother. Thunderstruck Boost. Who sat next to her, they left the performance immediately after he was taken away Lighting Bolt to the hospital quickly.

Near the newspaper article about the tragedy and the announcement of the death of Lighting Bolt, Alexei noted that it was written that. a week later, Lighting Bolt's brother had sponsored his product, within the next week of his death.
And that Falcon Pelegrine resigned from Wonderbolt, immediately days after the death of his friend Lighting Bolt and nothing was heard of him again, he disappeared from the scene.
Many suspected that Lighting Bolt's brother and Falcon peregrine, were endorsing products after the announcement of Lighting Bolt's death.

Alessio finishes reading the article. He knew that when a famous person died, the family could do a similar thing of sponsoring something or an activity to earn some money. However, he wondered if there had been something suspicious going on.
But he notice, a small daily article below that it was written that Princess Celestia herself had started an investigation in collaboration with the Wonderbolts to confirm that the tragic death of the Lighting Bolt flyer was due to a sudden heart attack, however the hypothesis that Falcon Peregrine was right is still on everyone's lips.

Alessio closed the book and handed it to Spitfire and sighed. "I see Lightning Dust didn't take it well after that huh" he said.

Spitfire nodded. “Yes.. indeed. Heck, I was a little surprised to hear that her niece wanted to participate after that scene. But I think it only made her stronger. I think that's what pushed her to the max today.” she nodded with a proud smile.

“Good point,” Alessio said as he stood up from his chair.

Then over the next twenty minutes, Alessio asked Spitfire about the matter, that Princess Celestia herself had had a collaborative investigation done between the Wonderbolts and the Royal Guard into the Lighthing Bolt tragedy.

Spitfire explained to him that the issue of Lighting Bolt's brother's sponsorship was suspicious. To the point of believing that the shadow had been a homicide, but in the end, the autopsy confirmed that Lighting Bolt had died of a sudden heart attack and there was the fatigue factor for the spectacular performance with Falcon Peregrine. Then, Spitfire, explained about Lighting Bolt's brother's sponsorship, was found to be completely legal as a result, and the brother used the money to help the Wonderbolt academy. to expand, in fact the track and the land below, at the base of the mountain were bought from him. noting that when Ligthing Bolt retired, he wanted to work at the academy as a teacher and consultant together with his friend Falcon Peregrine.

Satisfied by the words of my friend Spitfire. Alessio asked Spitfire if she could help in some way at the Academy, specifying to do something not with funds, but to help as an ordinary person. Spitfire thought about it, then smiled and got up from her chair and told him to follow her. They both left the office and walked down the hall. Spitfire informed him that the recruits' next exercise was: That The class is divided into two teams of four, red and blue, and is told that the team that captures the most flags of the opposing team's color wins. Additionally, main pony and wing pony pairs must stay together or be disqualified, which would effectively cut a four-pony team down to just two.

Alessio had the task together with the other teachers of placing and hiding the flags so that the recruits could find them.

Alessio smiled, but as he walked away to reach the track to lend a hand. His attention fell when he noticed the pegasus janitor sweeping the corridor and glancing at the recruits flying across the runway.

Alessio turned back frowning and thinking, he asked Spitfire what the Janitor's name was and she said that he had been working here for many years now, and his name was, Eaglet Pilgrim.

Alessio thanked her with a smile, saying goodbye as he left. he stood aside so as not to disturb the work of the pegasus janitor Eaglet, who was washing the floor.

*Later *

“Here you are, Your Highness, a nice bandage,” said the nurse, applying one to Alessio's forehead. "For Princess Luna it will be less impressive than a wound"

"It's just a scratch." Alessio said. "The idea of putting the blue flag at the entrance to a natural tunnel was not a good one. I didn't notice the stone protruding above my head."

"From the fact that the teachers saw you with the right side of your forehead bleeding, they must have feared a lot for their tails, that they had not safeguarded the safety of Princess Luna's beloved and they rushed you here as if it were an emergency." the nurse said with a chuckle.

Alessio glanced at the nurse's office, it is not like a simple nursing clinic and has its own X-ray machine, to identify any anomalies in the leaflets and also identify some illegal improvements that are not allowed, he had noticed the necessary blood tests.

"If nothing else, the recruits and the Wonderbolts here are in very good hands. Nurse," Alessio said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Of course, I would have more time to read my books and carry out my duties nurse here, if some Wonderbolt stallions recruits, didn't invent non-existent illnesses and pains as an excuse to come to me. You should see how Spitfires and Fleetfoots would arrive in a rage and call them back into action if they didn't want to do a thousand quick laps around the field". the nurse said with a pout and then with a soft giggle. Then she stepped back admiring her handiwork.

"Done. And it's not bleeding anymore," the nurse said with her hands on her wide, shapely hips, then with a twist of her hips, she turned and walked back to her desk and sat down, putting one slender leg over the other and took the kettle and filled a cup of tea and asked Alessio if he would like a cup too.

Alessio smiled and accepted it, he stood up and took the other tea cup that the blonde nurse with sandy fur was offering him, he sat down and sipped it slowly so as not to burn his tongue and he felt a fruity flavor in the 'infusion.

He gets up and goes to the window and observes through the shutter that the recruits had finished their exercise, however he notices that his friend mare was fluttering with difficulty and, it didn't seem due to the fatigue, knowing his friend mare well, it would have been too much absurd to him, that Rainbow Dash was so tired. He put the cup on the nightstand next to the cot, thank the nurse and quickly leave the infirmary.

Alessio has walked halfway down the corridor when he stops and sees his marefriend crossing the corridor.

"Ehy, Dashie, honey, I saw you from the infirmary, is everything okay? Problems with training." she asked her and if she was here she wondered why but she noticed that she was holding her left wing closed tighter. "are you okay?” he asked.

"I was at training, but" he turns around showing his injured wing. “But I ended up cutting my wing during training, so I have to get treatment before I can go back to training.” he said.

Alessio approached her, examined her wing, there was a cut, but nothing serious, but she needed to be treated and bandaged. He told her that he would take her to the infirmary and that if the nurse was busy, he would take care of bandaging her wing.

Rainbow nods and she follow him into the infirmary. She and Alessio saw that the nurse wasn't there but she had left a note on the door written 'I'll be right back for lunch break'.
Alessio sighed and opened the door and made Rainbow Dash sit on the cot. She sat down on the bed, while Alessio took everything he needed and sat down next to her and began to treat her wing, joking a bit by saying it was like in the early days.

Rainbow Dash giggled a little, but then let out a yelp as Alessio took some rubbing alcohol and disinfected her cut. not before removing a small splinter of wood from the wound. Alessio apologized because he hadn't found any hydrogen peroxide. Rainbow pouted and smiled telling him like old times.

She looked at the ceiling, remembering that in the first few weeks that Alessio and she had met, and he had seen her aerial performances and although she was very careful in training. She had ended up in a bush of brambles, due to the involuntary arrival of Pinkie Pie who wanted to celebrate the one-month anniversary of Alessio's arrival in Equestria. and now although after some time he, instead of like that time he removed the thorns from her wings, now he was dressing her wing wounds and he admits that his medical skills were good, it never hurt and he took great care and diligence. Once she asked him if he had been a doctor and he had told her that he medicated himself when he hurt himself or helped her friend when he did what he called parkour.

"So, how did this happen, Rainbow? You are very careful during training, even if you push yourself too far" Alessio asked as he cleaned the feathers around the wound from the trickle of blood and then began to bandage the wound, thinking of also taking a some ice for him to keep during his lunch break, just to prevent swelling from forming, prevention is better than cure. but he knew that when it comes to training, Rainbow Dash, even if she pushes herself to her limits, always watches out for herself and others not to get injured.

“Just some routine training, nothing serious.” She tried to smile but Alessio seemed too hasty in response.
Alessio frowns, sighs. 'Rainbow Dash, I know you have bandage-catching practice today. What happened and, you know you're not very good at lying, right?' she asked as she had to hold her wing still while swaddling her.

Rainbow pouted and crossed her arms over her chest, she sighed and looked at him, noticing his bandage on his forehead and, when she asked him. Alessio said that he didn't see a stone and only had a scratch, like her on the wing.

Rainbow Dash explained that during the exercise with Lighting Dust to capture the flags. Rainbow recounted that he had spotted the first flag in a narrow ravine, which had two logs positioned close to each other at the top, making the approach much narrower.
She had suggested to Lightning Dust to slow down otherwise, they wouldn't be able to adapt at the same time, but Lighting Dust had ignored her observation and advanced; having to keep up or disqualify them. Rainbow explains that she flew right behind Lightning Dust because she already knows that they will have to enter one after the other. However, with Lightning Dust's body in her sight, Lei can't see exactly how strong the grip will be.
As a result, when Lightning Dust flew first into the ravine, she managed to avoid grazing the logs, but Rainbow had seen too much and acted too late and her right wing was injured on one of the logs.

Rainbow explains that she and Lighting Dust had returned the flag to Spitfire, even though she had a problem with her wing and had hesitated to continue. But Lightning Dust told her it was a trivial cut and, under pressure from the expected Spitfire and Lightning Dust, she told Rainbow that she continued the exercise.

Alessio raised a thin eyebrow, but his gaze was as if engraved in steel. The fact that Lighting Dust had acted without listening or even taking his partner's opinion into consideration and, moreover, had literally ignored his injury, without even making sure if it had really been a 'nothing cut', this increased Alessio's foreboding, that Lighthing Dust should be kept an eye on.

"I don't know about you Dashie, but before you get me wrong. But I have a bad feeling about Lighting Dust, it doesn't convince me and, I'm worried about you and the other cadets. Keep an eye on her and, watch out for her" Alessio said with serious tone.

Rainbow Dash didn't miss her colt-friend's harsh tone and looking at his face, it seemed like his face was carved from steel. He knew that when it comes to friends and family, no matter the stallion or mare, he wouldn't let anypony get away with it. But she knew how to trust Alessio's instincts and, she too was perplexed towards Lighthing Dust, but she wouldn't say it.

"You say?" Rainbow said to him, "Lighting Dust goes too far, I've noticed it too, and I don't think anything like that will happen." she concluded.

"Just promise me you'll take her into account and not keep your doubts inside, Dashie." Alessio replied as he finished bandaging her. and he fix her blindfold so that it doesn't give her any problems during the flight.

Rainbow looked at him and took and shook his hand. "I promise Alessio. You have my word"

Alessio smiled and let go of his hand, now he felt reassured, he knew that Rainbow would be careful and not only for her, but also for the other cadets.

"There. Here you are. Done, Dashie" Alessio said pointing to the finished bandage.

Rainbow blinked, looked at her wing, and extended her wing a few times. The feeling of a little pain wasn't that bad and the bandage didn't cause any discomfort. Lifting herself a few feet off the ground she smiled as they too did not compromise her flying abilities. “Wow, that was fast. Thank you. honey" she said.

"I'm glad the bandages won't interfere with your flight. Come see the nurse if you start to feel pain or if the swelling seems to be increasing or even me." Alessio smiled

Rainbow gave him a nod, leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, Alessio placed both his hands on her cheeks. When they both heard someone clearing their throat, they quickly turned and saw it in the doorway. The nurse watching them had half a sandwich in her hand and two more on a tray. She blushed a little and said that she didn't expect anyone to come into the infirmary.
Alessio apologized and said that her marefriend needed help. Rainbow Dash nodded and blushed a little. The nurse smiled and said with a giggled, about both were a nice couple, but next time put 'Do not disturb'.

Despite Rainbow Dash's embarrassment, she gives Alessio another kiss and quickly leaves for the canteen.

Alessio cordially greets the nurse and leaves the infirmary. walking in the corridor, his thoughtful expression was visible. What had happened to his marefriend Rainbow Dash made him even more alert about Lighting Dust. That mare was one to keep an eye on, and Spitfire's decision to name Lighting Dust as her main pony made him even more uneasy. the smug expression of that mare and the fact that he had debilitatedly ignored a simple observation from the co-flyer and, ignored the co-flyer's injury, even a minor one, demonstrated a negligence not to be taken lightly.

"Other than 'unstoppable team', as Spitfire said. That Lighting Dust is not only negligence but also recklessness! and I fear that precisely because Lighting Dust, being Lighting Bolt's grandson and wants to follow in his grandfather's footsteps He sees it as a goal to match him. But this has pushed his ego much bigger than Rainbow Dash's, but by comparison, I know Dashie and she wouldn't do something like that in her place. Despite the appearance Self-centered, Dashie, you've got a good head on your shoulders, even though you have to stick your nose in them to realize it. But Lighting Dust, I have serious doubts." I think to Alessio, frowning, almost afraid that his introspection might cloud his ability to judge. But even talking to Spitfire about it, would have been a waste of breath, and maybe he was the king, but this is the Spitfire field. She makes the decisions.

Alessio moved his gaze to the window and observed the various flyers flying in the skies and saw Rainbow Dash, Lighting Dust and the other recruits exiting the building. He looks in front of him, adjusting his cap over his eyes and frowns.
"But your decision Spitfire. Did you make it from what? From the excellent results? from the fact that Lighting Dust is the nephew of your idol? from the fame of the Wonderbolt academy accepting it? I don't know. But I'm starting to doubt yours too judgment" he think concerned.

Alessio went to the canteen, got some food and went to sit at one of the free tables. While he ate his meal. Suddenly he saw Rainbow Dash and Lighting Dust enter. Alessio did not miss the pleased expression of Lighting Dust and the perplexed one of his marefriends. When Rainbow got herself a drink and took a seat, Lighting Dust was walking away and Alessio got up from his seat, with the tray in the palm of his hand and went to sit on the opposite side, in front of his marefriends and they talked to each other.

Rainbow explained to Alessio why she and Lighting Dust were in the canteen, advance permission, they had finished early and in record time with lots of praise from Spitfire herself. But Rainbow explains that although Spitfire said about the exercise that it's not a competition, not to worry about winning, Lightning Dust implied that she will do it anyway. and that Lightning Dust herself, expressed frustration that they can't get around a couple in front of them. Although as Rainbow explains, she attempted to mollify her, pointing out that they can show their synchronized flight to Spitfire instead; Lightning Dust had reluctantly agreed. Flying behind the same pair in the middle of a stormy environment, Lightning Dust was even more frustrated, and once the air cleared, she took the opportunity to carelessly fly past them, throwing the rest of the pairs aside in a spin. Between the clouds.

"I told Lighting Dust about next time, maybe we won't eliminate other teams like that. You know how she said 'Hey, if you sleep, you lose!' and we went to the canteen. As she talks about our teammates that, few are capable of being Wonderbolts. I, I am perplexed and, about everything. My mother told me about the Wonderbolts and I want to follow in her footsteps, but they are the ideals that Wonderbolt counts here or only the results?". RD mutters sighing.

Alessio did not hide his annoyance and discomfort, Dash's story of what happened continued to confirm to him whether Spitfire had serious doubts about making a good decision. He reaches out and places his hand on his marefriends hand. "I agree with you Dash. Know that I am with you whatever your decision. But do what you feel and believe is right." He told her.

Rainbow Dash looked at him, nodded and smiled, grabbing his hand. “Thank you” then I giggled and smirked at Alessio. "Even if the phrase came out a bit Twilight-like."
Alessio chuckled, then felt like an idiot and Dash's expression was the same too. "You better write to our friends, before they get worried, we haven't written in three days. Damn. Luna will be perplexed." I murmur.

Rainbow Dash smiled."Hey, I'll do it. I'll write to our friends tonight, I promise, and I'll put in a word for you too to tell Luna that you miss her."

"Thanks Dashie," Alessio said then, with another smile he looks at the clock on the wall, his smile fading at that moment and he also checks his wristwatch and realizes that he was late.

“Oh crap. Soarin, he told me he needs me at the gym.” Alessio exclaimed when today he was asked to help Soarin in the gym that was in front of the pitch.

"Then you better go now." Rainbow Dash said with a giggle.

Alessio nods, greets his marefriend with a quick kiss, gets up from the table, puts his tray on a shelf and walks down the corridor as quickly as his long legs will allow him. He knew well that, in addition to flight training, weightlifting, yoga and even martial arts are also necessary for recruits. Losing any of them would be out of the question.

Alessio remembered that to get to the gym, passing through the Hall of Fame is the faster way than going through the other structures. Running, he crossed a few more corridors and passed Spitfire's office. Alessio finally made it to the Wonderbolts Hall of Fame and slowed down his pace.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he stopped when he saw a familiar face.

Besides the janitor pegasus Eaglet who was sweeping the floor, there was Lightning Dust, and she, standing right in front of her grandfather's statue, a few tears sliding down her face as she stared at the statue.

Alessio understood just by looking why she was here. Although the thoughts about what happened today were vivid, she put her hands in her pockets as she stared at the mare, who she was pleased with every day and who she wants to be just like her grandfather.
He walked towards her, he noticing that the pony janitor was looking at him and, that Lighting Dust seemed unaware of his presence.

Alessio heard her say to her grandfather, as if he could have heard her. "Grandpa, you will see. I will make you proud. I will make and show the best results that will understand that I am a true Wonderbolt just like you." she said with a smile as she wiped away her tears and stared at her golden master flyer pony badge with smug pride.

Alessio stops at a distance from her and then moves to look at the license plate of the Wonderbolt Falcon peregrine, observes the photo. But his thoughts were on Lighting Dust. His words were further confirmation of her own worries. Lighting Dust put results above all else. but how far would she go? Rainbow Dash's minor injury. The fact that Lighting Dust literally sent the other cadets away into the clouds to take the lead?.

"Lighting Dust, you know I may not know your grandfather much, but everypony I've talked to all said the same thing. He was a great stallion." he told her without turning around, continuing to observe the license plate he was looking at.

Lighting gasps when he hears him speak and turns and wonders when the Night King and, what he guessed, he and Rainbow Dash's coltfriend, entered the hall of fame. Then he gave a little laugh. "Yes it was."

Alessio slowly turned to look at her with a frown. "However, if you feel that you will disappoint the Academy's expectations and the ideals of the Wonderbolts, only to exceed your own expectations, with the simple excuse of pushing yourself to the limit and following in your grandfather's footsteps. May you justify your recklessness, even if it means putting others in trouble. It wouldn't make anyone proud, not even your grandfather who you admire so much."

Lightning Dust looks at him questioningly, but she didn't like his tone, especially when her grandfather was mentioned. "Eh. You don't understand" she said with a frown.

"Results only matter, do you want? Yes. But, only when the same team cooperates, each of the teammates knows what their part is. That is being a true Wonderbolt. You should already understand it yourself."

Lighting Dust, simply stares at him then after a contemptuous and smug smile and walks away. She felt challenged by the human's words. "I know what I do to be a Wonderbolt. The result counts, the rest means nothing, if the others are not up to being Wonderbolt. let them stay at home. The best of the best. That's what my grandfather always said."

Alessio simply stares at the exit from the Hall of Fame. he sigh, "someone had to tell him" H mutter. Telling Lighting Dust to make her understand what it was to be a Wonderbolt and not to be unconscious, was a risk and, he had no illusions whether she understood it or not and, this was more worrying.

“And you did, very well” Janitor Eaglet's voice caught Alessio's attention. "That mare. Like Grandfather, like Grandson. Recklessness is a family factor, unfortunately" he concluded, continuing to sweep the floor.

Alessio frowned then walked ahead and passed the janitor and felt his gaze on him. "Speaking by chance from experience. Eaglet. or.. I can call you by your real name.. Falcon Peregrine."

Despite his thick, bushy eyebrows, the janitor winced, then slowly straightened his back and placed his hands crossed on the top of the broom and sighed. Before chuckling. "How did you understand this? I've been working here for more than twenty years, and no one understood who I was. And 'the human of Equestria', king of the night, has understood this."

"Not right away. But your reaction to Soarin mentioning your name here initially puzzled me. But when I came back here and saw her staring at the Lighting Bolt statue several times, I thought you were a fan of hers." , but when I noticed the plaque with your name and photo, I had a premonition. The age that passed, even if you let your mustache and eyebrows grow, modified your mane, the resemblance was hardly possible but feasible. When you corrected me on the 'Go-around' maneuver, you almost gave yourself away. The wing healed well unlike the broken leg. And the photo from the day of the tragedy is now looking at your plate and photo. there was only one way to discover the truth and then. Eaglet is the name of a young eagle or hawk, therefore you have distorted your name and peregrine can have the meaning of spiritual journey". Alessio said.

Peregrine Hawk smiled, smoothing his eyebrows, detecting attentive yellow eyes. "impressive deduction. Your Highness." Then his smile faded. "Now what do you want to do? inform Captain Spitfire that I'm here?"

Alessio shook his head, "No. But I'd like to hear your version of why you decided to leave Wonderbolt after the death of your friend Lighting Bolt, after such a short time. And if you said that recklessness is a family matter like Lighting Dust, does that mean you could get into bigger trouble?"

Suddenly, they both heard footsteps and soon saw Soarin enter the Hall of Fame. The co-leader looks at Alessio and calls him by name while smiling at him. “Hey, you're here. I was coming to look for you. I'm happy that you want to help me. Come on, we have a martial arts class right now."

Alessio shook his head. "Sorry Soarin. I'll have to get there later, maybe I won't make it. I'm helping the keeper Eaglet"
'Eaglet' aka Falcon Peregrine, senses the human's game and looks at Soarin from under the brim of his cap. "Oh it won't take long, Soarin. By the way, I advise you to go to the canteen and pre-order a cake of your choice. Before everyone gets away with it, like every time. Not for nothing, but wash your puddles of tears, and a feat".

Soarin hearing the word cake, his smile grew. And then he knew that although he was austere, the janitor was a pegasus ready to help and listen to the problems of the ponies, recruits or teachers.

"Alright, then. When you're done I'll see you in the gym, your highness. If not I'll see you at dinner. See you" he said before running off, almost flying into the hallway.

Alessio and Falcon peregrine looked at each other, then went outside with some tools to refresh a wall and they would talk there.

*Several minutes later*

Falcon Peregrine, He explained to Alessio, while they were both painting a wall to be renovated. About the fact that He and Lighting Bolt had been childhood friends and both aspired to become Wonderbolts.
When they both graduated from the academy and subsequently became official Wonderbolts.
Their friendship was solid despite the slight shadow of apparent competition that existed between the two. However Lighting Bolt although he was a good father, good brother, friend and grandfather. He had the flaw of being very reckless, pushing himself to the limit and a little competitive. To the point that when at the official performance of his 45th anniversary. He wanted to do a performance with him, as a couple of the 'Go-around' but, Falcon he explain. Lighthing Bolt trained late, putting himself to the test, as Bolt's brother had told him and... this... had put his heart to the test.

"I tried to save him and prevent him from falling to the ground. If I had acted quickly, we wouldn't have crashed to the ground when I tried to catch him. I felt responsible, I should have told him not to force himself to do something just because it was my natural talent The idea of flying like Wonderbolt again made me remember that day. So I decided to resign, I know I was wrong to have done so in short days, after the death of my friend. And the newspapers thought, writing that I had responsibility. So I I left and disappeared from the scene. But my love for Wonderbolt was steadfast, so I changed my name, and I got hired here." Falcon explained as he closed the paint cans.

Alessio looked at him. "Listen Falcon. I understand your motives and guilt, feeling responsible, even if you're not completely responsible. I think you can share what happened. Your experiences, your advice and teachings. Hell. You can still teach the new recruits, like you and your friend Lighting Bolt, wanted to do and, know how to take responsibility, get up when you fall. I discovered although I had made a similar speech when I got here. that it was your motto to get up when you fall, when we believe we can't make it. the true determination to be, much more than what others think they see." he said.

Falcon just looks at him, without saying anything, then sighs and looks up at the sky. Watching the recruits in flight. Alessio followed his gaze. "I have seen many promising flyers come here, others have become Wonderbolts as they dreamed, others have given up, others have tried again and again. But, yes I think you are right your highness. Maybe it was precisely because I never wanted to talk to someone about what happened. Okay. I promise, When the recruits are finished arriving, I will reveal my identity and tell what happened. My responsibilities are that I really wanted to save Lighting Bolt and that the pain of a lost friend can make you choose to do wrong things. But never as much as recklessness"

Alessio nods and shook the old flyer's hand. "It was an honor to meet a legend like her. Falcon Peregrine. Heck my marefriend is a big fan of yours, she would love to have your autograph." I'm joking.
Falcon smiled. "And I, to get to know you. Your Highness," then his smile turned into a frown. "Don't think that Spitfire can't listen to you. Tell her the truth. Tell her your doubts about Lighting Dust, she will make a right decision, even when she thought she had made a right one. Recklessness and recklessness must not be a Wonderbolt virtue. but only when we are sure of what we do and that others think like you. That too is cooperation of a team".

Alessio nodded, then he helped Falcon Peregrine put the tools away. Before talking to Spitfire, Alessio decided to go back to his room first to change clothes, because his were dirty with fresh paint. He ran and while he return. he saw a post pony approaching him.

“Excuse me, your highness”

Alessio turning his head and see that he is a normal blue and green postman pony with a similar uniform with hat and mail bag. “Oh hi, how can I help you?”, he smile back.

The postman pony reaches into his bag and takes out a small letter. “Letter for you, Your Highness” he said, as hands him the small letter.

Alessio took the letter, saying that there was no need for introductions. The pony postman with a bow of respect, leaves the gym to deliver the rest of the letters.

Alessio watches him go, then opens the letter. Pulling out the letter he smiled at who it comes from, from his marefriends; Twilight Sparkle. And he read the short writing. "Oh. Pinkie. She still thinks we'll never forget her," he chuckled, as the writing began about him and Rainbow having forgotten them ever since his visit, and And Rainbow's acceptance to Wonderbolt Academy.

Alessio continues reading the letter. she smiled when she read that Twilight had written that they all knew they would never forget Pinkie, and that it was about missing both of them and also how boring it was without either of them, complete with a little scolding from Luna's addition to at least send a letter to let people know how he was doing.

Alessio finds it ironic that until an hour ago, he had suggested to Rainbow Dash that they write to their friends. continuing to read when finally, he read that his friends were coming to surprise them both. He says they will arrive in half an hour with Twi's hot air balloon. And according to how Twilight calculated she would be a quarter of an hour away when he received the letter

Alessio looked at his wristwatch, saw that it was a quarter to three, so they were almost there. "I'd better get cleaned up quick and get on the field then." He said before quickly going to your room, taking the shower to clean up and getting dressed quickly.

After a quick wash and after putting on his work clothes for a while, Alessio quickly ran towards the field. The camp was not far from the field and also from the landing zone, it was more or less in the same place where he had asked the royal carriage to drop him off when he had arrived days before.

Alessio, back at the camp, can hear the flapping of wings and some soaring sounds echoing in the air.

He looked up and smiled, seeing Rainbow Dash and the team flying over the field. He would talk to Spitfire later, but he can see both Lighting Dust and Rainbow agreeing on something, although the look of uncertainty on Rainbow's face was visible. Looking at the clock he saw, that he had a few minutes before the arrival of his mares-friends and decided to see what they have planned for today.

Alessio, he observe what they have planned, it seemed to sweep away the clouds and there were a lot of them. when he suddenly saw Lighting Dust and Rainbow Dash together create a large tornado to his dismay, before remembering that many things in Equestria could surprise him.

"But why would they create a tornado?" Alessio thought as he observed the tornado formed by the action of the two mares. The answer came immediately. The tornado quickly swept unwanted clouds from the sky like clumps of dust sucked up by a vacuum cleaner.

Alessio watched as the tornado cleared the sky with speed and precision, however there was something wrong, the size of the tornado was increasing and as a result, it started to lose control. He saw Lighting Dust spit out from the top of the tornado and pass five clouds in a straight line. immediately afterwards he also saw Rainbow Dash, spat out by the tornado like a champagne cork and with an arcing trajectory, and landed on a large cloud bouncing on it and falling to the ground.

But the tornado had hit the ground and was destroying everything in its path.

Alessio screamed at the top of his lungs for everyone on the ground to get away quickly, he saw one of the security ponies counting the number of clouds that were racing away as the tornado dug a furrow in the ground and he saw Rainbow falling towards the soil. He ran and managed to grab her on the fly, although Rainbow's weight, combined with the speed of her fall, when Alessio grabbed her, couldn't hold and found himself heavily on the ground he almost didn't hear a dry sound.

Alessio coughed because he was out of breath, he felt his right shoulder hurt but when he opened his eyes, he saw something familiar in the distance. Twi's hot air balloon and, his eyes bulging when he saw that said hot air balloon was just a few meters away from the approaching tornado, all of them without warning were sucked into the bottom of the tornado.

Alessio heard the shocked scream of Rainbow Dash who had previously, rolled off of Alessio's body and, slowly got up when she was shocked when she saw her best friends sucked into the tornado.

Alessio could do nothing but watch helplessly on the ground as Rainbow quickly flew towards the out-of-control tornado. Using some clouds to cushion the falls of her friends, they were thrown away together with the broken hot air balloon basket. She then managed to use the cloud and push them into the air.

Alessio watched in shock as your mare friends all flew through the air almost like screaming rag dolls.

Then Alessio took a breath of relief, when Rainbow's teammates save all of Rainbow's friends. Rarity was hugging Thunderlane tightly, Fluttershy awkwardly pulled away from Cloudchaser who looked at her annoyed.

"Thank at Celestia and Luna!. Everyone is safe!" Alessio said in relief, before getting up and running quickly towards all of them as Rainbow's team lands and places Rainbow's friends on the ground and Rainbow comes down and lands next to her friends.

"Are you all ok?" Alessio asked, at the exact same time Rainbow Dash asked, but they were both too worried about their friends to notice.

"Uh-huh" they answer.

Without batting an eye, Pinkie quickly jumps up and embraces Rainbow in a tight hug. “We are all happy that you still remember us!” she giggles and huffs a little happy that her best friend didn't forget about them.

Rainbow Dash out of breath, manages to free herself from her friend's tight grip. “Well... yes, of course I remember you. But... what are you doing here?

Applejack, dust off her stetson. “We wanted to bring you a care package. I didn't realize you'd be in the middle of a crazy drill due to a tornado.”

"Alessio....I don't think your shoulder has to be like that.." Fluttershy said with tears in her eyes as she stared in horror and wondered how her coltfriend didn't feel the pain.

"What?" Alessio then murmurs, looks at his shoulder where he felt the pain that he had ignored and realized that his shoulder was out of place, dislocated and the limb was hanging at the wrong angle.

Alessio grabbed his wrist, while gritting his teeth, as the pain had now become strong, Twilight approached him and noticed that it was a dislocation and wondered how he had done it. Rainbow stated that she had managed to glimpse that Alessio had taken her on the fly, confirmed by him and she said that the important thing was that they were fine.

Twilight almost forced him to sit on the ground, while using magic to remove his jacket, albeit in pieces, and use the sleeves to wrap his arm in a sling, saying that he had to go to the hospital. Alessio suggested the academy infirmary, but before she said that she wanted to know if there had been no other injuries.

She suddenly stopped when they all heard a voice and Alessio and Dash, gritted their teeth.

"That... was... awesome!" the team captain shouted excitedly at how amazing the tornado stunt was.

"Awesome? Awesome a hay! My friends could have been smashed to pieces!" Rainbow Dash screaming in anger.

"Yeah, but that didn't happen, right? Can't say the same for the clouds. We totally wiped them out with that tornado. The other cadets will have to be up there for days to bust as many as we did" she concluded by looking around for some clouds, still staying in mid-air. then she holds out a fisted hand towards Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow slapped Lighthing Dust's hand away and glared at her. "A hoof? Seriously? You clipped my wing. You send half our class into serious spins on the obstacle course. You unleashed a tornado that nearly demolished my friends!"

"Yes is?" Lightning Dust said proudly.

Alessio stood up, ignoring Twilight's call to stay seated, and looked angrily at Lighth dust, hearing those two words of indifference, after everything he had done recklessly was too much to bear.

"AND?" Alessio repeats and I give her a look that he would have done. she was about to give him a hard time and to hell with politeness but she was going to say everything that Lighting Dust, he deserved to hear.

"And that's enough." Said a male voice, a little dull with age, but powerful enough to silence everyone.

Alessio turned and saw Falcon Peregrine approaching charging with an expression of anger, without his janitor cap, his teeth bared and he seemed capable of biting off the head of nails, or someone.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. Lighting Dust. Not only are you showing a lack of care for the safety of your companions and even putting them in danger. You risked someone being killed by that tornado that went out of control because you increased its power and I saw it well. It was very fortunate that your co-flyer and these young recruits reacted with speed and courage to save everyone in the hot air balloon. but the thing that makes me angry is that all you have to say It's just 'And'." Thunder the former Wonderbolt looking at the granddaughter of his missed childhood friend. "I have never! Never! seen a cadet behave in such a reckless way! Not even Lighting Bolt was like that! He was a bit reckless too, like you, you exaggerated."

Everyone was shocked by the janitor's anger, Alessio knew who he really was, but he kept quiet. and he saw that the others were also Lighting Dust in anger.

Lighting Dust gritted his teeth in anger. "Yes. But I got better results!. This is what a Wonderbolt is supposed to be! And why Spitfire made me main captain!" she said, she also dusts off the courage to erase the satisfaction from her golden badge.

A badge that everyone has understood that she doesn't deserve.

"And Don't you dare speak." she added before anyone interrupted her.

"I agree. You're right. She did"

Alessio, Twilight and her friends turned to Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow are you crazy? After everything she's done!" Rarity said.

“I know this is why I have to do something. I'll be right back” Rainbow said, then she takes off and then runs towards the offices.

Alessio watched her go, he wanted to follow her, but Twilight held him down and furthermore, he had a dislocated shoulder and needed treatment. But he remember telling Rainbow that she would support her no matter what she chose, even now.

Lightning Dust crosses her arms over her chest, she smirked, but her gaze was full of anger towards the 'janitor', she watches Rainbow Dash leave and says. “Well, I guess she didn't have what it takes to be a Wonderbolt. How weak."

Alessio gave her a look that would have paralyzed an alpha timberwolf. he said. "What pulpit does the-"

*Slap*

Lighting Dust landed heavily on her butt on the ground, touching her cheek in shock, while Falcon peregrine looked at her towering in front of her, his right hand still stretched out from the slap he had suddenly given her.

"I don't apologize for doing it. You deserved it, Lighting Dust. You are not a Wonderbolt. The Wonderbolt must protect the innocent, they are together with the royal guards. even if we perform in stadiums or events worldly. This is the Wonderbolts' job, our main goal is to protect the people. You joined the Wonderbolts, not only to follow in the footsteps of your grandfather Lighting Bolt, but you were more reckless than he had been. But He. He would never put people in danger like you did!" said stern and serious.

Lightning Dust look at him, as she rubs her red cheek, "Why should it matter? Did I get results?" Lightning said in a low, almost subdued tone.

"Why? Because the result doesn't matter. Being a captain of the Wonderbolts is about leading your teammates in operations. The real results are those you achieve as a team." Falcon Peregrine said in a strong, serious voice.

Lightning Dust narrowed her eyes, "What would a simple janitor, know about being a Wonderbolt." she said.

Alessio looked at her, then looked at Falcon and sighed, frown serious. "Why. He.. is Falcon Peregrine."

Silence echoed throughout the field for a few seconds, before Falcon sighed and nodded. "Yes, I am Falcon Peregrine. I resigned from the Wonderbolts, immediately after the death of Lighting Bolt, your grandfather. I felt responsible. But I understood that he had been reckless. He had gone too far. And you Lighting Dust, you too you have gone further. You say you want to follow in your grandfather's footsteps, but now, if he were alive too, he would be very disappointed in you." he said.

Lighting Dust I look at him and his words sink in, she clenches her fists then without saying a word, I look at them and walk away at a brisk pace.

Alessio managed to see Rainbow Dash exit the offices and head directly towards the main building, and as he did so he saw two security guards come from behind and take Lightning Dust away.

He wanted to know what was happening, Alessio was getting up, but his marefriends stopped him and told him not to move and to go straight to the infirmary. Alessio sighs and nods, but he hope to find out what was happening later.

* Several minutes later *

Alessio left the infirmary, after the nurse, with the help of other doctors, had fixed his dislocated shoulder and had put a bandage to hang around his neck, although the painkillers prescribed by the doctors, Alessio he think he would have also taken the Zecora's healing herbal potion when he returned his room before to return to home. He cordially greeted the doctors and the nurse and left the infirmary and walked quickly down the corridor in search of Rainbow Dash, his requests to leave him alone so he could talk to her had been useless and his marefriends had been very convincing to get him treated, but now he didn't want to waste any more time.

It was then that Alessio saw Rainbow Dash walk out of Spitfire's office, she sighs and lowers her ears against her head as she walks away into the hallway. Alessio called her twice before her marefriends realized he was behind her. She looked at him and gave him a small smile, but her broken look was visible, then she looked at the brace he had on his arm.

"Hey honey. How's your shoulder?" she said as she continued walking.

Alessio followed her at her side and put his good arm around her shoulders. "Just a dislocation, I will have to rest my arm for a couple of weeks, the doctors have given me the consent that the healing herbal powder can help me recover but, with the condition that I keep the brace for at least a week. Rather, I saw you leaving Spitfire's office. May I know why?" he asked.

Rainbow unconsciously or deliberately leaned on her coltfriend and put her wing around his shoulders, hesitated to look at him then with a sigh, said: "I resigned from the Wonderbolt"

Alessio looked at her in dismay, he couldn't believe what his marefriends had said.. that he was abandoning the Wonderbolts. What was her lifelong dream that she nurtured since childhood, to follow in the footsteps of her mother who was also a Wonderbolts, is gone. "The reason is about Lighthing Dust's recklessness, right?" he said even though he knew what the answer was.

"If being a Wonderbolt is just being reckless, then I refuse to become a Wonderbolt if that's the way. I refuse to let anyone get hurt. It's not the Wonderbolts I admire and my mother was one, even her would prove me right." was Rainbow Dash's reply.

"I agree with you, Dashie" Alessio said in solidarity, as they both exited the building and headed towards where their friends were and from the distance, they both noticed with surprise that Twi's hot air balloon had been recovered and rebuilt.

* Soon after*

"You did what?!" Applejack exclaimed

"But being a Wonderbolt was your dream!" Said Rarity shocked.

"Not anymore." she said before adjusting her backpack. "As I told our Alessio. if recklessness is the way of the Wonderbolts. Then, I refuse to let anyone get hurt” she sighs.

Alessio saw his maresfriends were all shocked as to why their friend, Rainbow Dash, wanted to leave something she had high hopes of becoming.

"I know my words may seem misunderstood but, Dash isn't entirely wrong. As sad as it is to say, we must support his choice to leave Wonderbolt" said Alessio, placing a hand on Dash's shoulder, she looked at him and hug.

"indeed. Although I'm really giving up, but I have a good reason to do so" she said as she released her hug and let out a defeated sigh. She knew her lifelong dream was shattering like glass. All her training seemed like nothing as she looked at her friends and then returned to the academy. But she knew what he was doing was right. She will not join the Wonderbolts if recklessness and risking lives are their real ideal, if that is what is needed to get results. Something she knows is never an option to get better.

"Well, if you come home, I'll come too." Alessio said. She had advised Spitfire, as his friend, whether she was sure of her decision. She had told him in her own words: not to worry and that everything will be fine. But Alessio knew he could have told her to keep an eye on her behavior. But he knew his words would definitely be taken for nepotism for the benefit of RD. And after what could have happened to his mare friends, he felt responsible and had told his friends.

Rainbow Dash had told Alessio that he had suggested her to keep an eye on Lighthing Dust and, she still did the tornado with her, making herself partly responsible, but Lighthing Dust's recklessness was still too much. If the results counted above the risks. This was unacceptable.

"I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash. I know how much this meant to you." Said Twilight Sparkle. "And. You and Alessio are right, each of you could have done something, but you knew the risks you were facing and that and knowing how to be responsible."

"Even though the words Falcon Peregrine said to Lighthing Dust, would have been the words Spitfire should have said. I hope Spitfire knowing her judgment doesn't make her make any more mistakes like that." thought Alessio, with a note of disappointment towards his friend Spitfire. He would have preferred his visit here to Wonderbolt Academy as the Night King and Rainbow's chance to be a Wonderbolt. had it been otherwise.

"I'll send a guard to collect my bags later, now let's go home." Alessio said. Everyone nods because it would be the best thing to do.

But before all of them could get into Twi's hot air balloon to leave.

“Rainbow Dash!" someone is calling her.

Everyone turned to see who was calling her.

Alessio frowned when he saw Spitfire coming, flying low to the ground, as she landed in front of Rainbow Dash, she slowly took on a disapproving look and her eyes were hidden by the purple lenses of her sunglasses.

"Rainbow Dash! How dare you storm out of my office without giving me a chance to respond! The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria, but you were right". she said, while taking off her sunglasses, the expression of someone who had realized a mistake. "Being the best should never come at the expense of our fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction". She smiled.

Alessio saw the two security guards approaching behind Spitfire, both overseeing the camp situation. He didn't know them personally, except that they took their jobs seriously as well as those of the royal guards. And in the middle of the two guards was Lightning Dust.

Spitfire turns back, with a disappointed look on Lighthing Dust and, snatches the golden lead pony badge from her flight suit. Lighting Dust was stunned, but eventually she realized that what she had done was wrong.

Then without saying anything, Spitfire instructs Lightning Dust to leave and oder her men to escort her.

Although it was the right punishment for Lighthing Dust's recklessness to be disbarred from the team and the Academy. Alessio couldn't help but feel at least a little sorry for her. Lighting Dust wanted to follow in her grandfather's footsteps but, in the end, her own recklessness made her pay the price, her expulsion.

Spitfire approaches Rainbow, "You've shown that you're capable of doing just that. You're no wingpony, Rainbow Dash". she concluded by placing the badge on her chest. "You're a leader."

Rainbow couldn't hide her excitement as she flapped her wings in celebration. "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!"

Spitfire then steps sideways, while wearing sunglasses and, in an authoritative tone she told her. "Now get out there and give me twenty!".

"Yes ma'am."

After giving her orders, she flies towards the rest of the class, who greet her as leader. Arcobaleno smiles and returns her greeting, turns towards her, her friends and Alessio, and smiles when they also greet him. then she leads her team as the exercise unfolds.

While Alessio and his marefriends watching from below, their friend go.

Pinkie Pie remembers something and steps forward with a package in her hand, she yells at Rainbow Dash, "Wait! You couldn't even open your aid package!"

"Don't worry Pinkie, I'll deliver it to him. I think I'll stay at least until tomorrow, before stopping my visit here" Alessio said as he approached Pinkie.

Twilight understood that Alessio wanted to stay with Rainbow Dash a little longer, she told her friends it was time to go. They take turns giving a kiss and a hug, paying attention to Alessio's injured shoulder, before returning to the hot air balloon and taking off.

While Alessio greeted his marefriends with Spitfire next to him. once the hot air balloon was far away Alessio turns to look at Spitfire.

"Spitfire there is one more thing you need to know and.. about the janitor pony Eaglet. He actually is.." Alessio said, but was interrupted by Spitifre.

"I already know. Him is Falcon Peregrine, before reaching Rainbow Dash. We met him talking to Soarin and explaining the reasons why he resigned from the Wonderbolts after Lighthing Bolt's death and, he also explained to us what had happened Meanwhile, on behalf of the Academy. Alessio, I would like to apologize for everything" she said, looking at him out of the corner of her eye.

"The important thing is that everything went well and only one person was injured. Let's hope it never happens again." replies Alessio.

"I will certainly evaluate every decision carefully and monitor my cadets from now on. I'm a little sorry to have expelled Lighthing Dust, but it was a fair and necessary punishment" Spitfire said as she looked at the cadets in flight, with Rainbow Dash leading the way.

"Do you think.. that one day, Lighting Dust might get a second chance? As long as she's made amends and is found to have become more responsible?" Alessio asked more out of curiosity but the thought of a second chance would be doable if it were deserved.

Spitfire looked at him, lowering the lenses of her sunglasses a little, then thought about it, placed them on her nose and remained with her hands behind her back. "We might consider it. If that were the case one day, Lighthing Dust would be kept under review to prevent another situation like this from happening again."

Alessio nods. "More than right". he said looking at the sky and scrutinizing his marefriend Rainbow Dash, happy that she was now showing herself to be the leader she was.

He asked Although there was a possibility if in the Wonderbolts to accept a griffon and Spifire despite the surprise, he said that if; there were good relationships between the ponies and the griffins, it was possible or, if the griffin had made an application for acceptance and was also accepted to do a test, it would be the first time and, honestly, she admitted that she would be interested and curious to see the first Wonderbolt griffon.

* Several minutes later *

Alessio was waiting near the corner of the building for his friendly mare Rainbow Dash to finish training, so they could spend some time together or have dinner together. While waiting, Alessio had seen Falcon Peregrine talking to Spitfire in the camp, from what Spitfire had told Alessio, there was a possibility that the old former Wonderbolt member and janitor under another identity could be working in a few weeks or months, at the academy as a consultant and coach. And Alessio, was happy for the old Wonderbolt.

"Hello your highness. I could speak to you," said a voice that Alessio recognized with surprise and turned to see who it belonged to.
Lighthing Dust was still wearing her Wonderbolt uniform, the small hole where she had gotten her badge was visible, she crossed her arms and gave him the same smirk as before, but she didn't know which way to look or she seemed to want to make sure that she didn't there was no one else around.

Alessio frowned as he looked at her, wondering how she was still here. "It depends. What do you want, Lighting Dust?"

Lighting Dust never stopped smiling and stared at him intensely. "The possibility of you convincing Spitfire to let me back into the Wonderbolts. I heard pretty well that you were asking her if I had a second chance if I made amends."

Alessio didn't like the tone and the situation as he was unfolding, his expression turned into a frown. "Second chances, you have to earn them Lighth Dust, not demands. If you were accepted back into the Wonderbolts, you would still be kept under an eye, after what you did today. And it wouldn't be as soon as you hope and believe."

Lighthing Dust chuckles, still smiling in his usual smug way. "So. What is your price?. What did Rainbow Dash offer you to be the Night King's lover?. I suspected something like that when I saw you two together in the cafeteria."

Alessio clenched his teeth from the anger that inflamed his chest. But before he spoke. Lighthing Dust cut him off.

"But I know it's not that obvious. Your expression said it all. Well, then. I saw the way you looked at me. You saw a kindred spirit in me when you asked Spitfire about the possibility of me having a second chance. And I felt that I can understand you better than many others, even more than Rainbow Dash. Well, I just ask you to 'grease the wheels' as they say with Spitfire and I will get my place back in Wonderbolt. also as a co-flyer with Dash". she said as leaned forward and reached for his hands.

Alessio retracted back and looked away. "You never know me, if you really knew me enough, you know, I don't grease anyone's wheels. You chose"

Lighting Dust smirked, "Well, then, I do it. We get to know each other better. You tell Spitfire to get me accepted back into the Wonderbolts and you'll 'keep an eye on me' and while we and who knows with Dash too, we 'get to know each other better'."

Taking the initiative, knowing this would put the Night King's mind at ease, she began to slowly unzip her suit while leaning her back against the wall.

Alessio was a little surprised, but frowned and kept his gaze on Lighthing Dust's eyes. LIghthing Dust looked into his eyes from his lowest position. "How about these two lost souls console each other for tonight? Let's let all this discussion about rhetoric fall by the wayside and just enjoy tonight? and it will be worth it"

Alessio grumbled. “This is incorrect, Lightning Dust.” he said, backing away. "Get out" he said.

Lighting Dust unzipped her suit further, baring her breasts to him. Lightning dust's breast size was also similar to Dash's E-cup size, maybe even an F cup size.

"Oh well, you know that sometimes fairness be damned, King to the Night. How long has it been? Dash said during the showers that she wanted to have time with her coltfriend. Are you very active? Hm~?. And the three of us would be more active~."

"No" Alessio took a step back, gritting his teeth as she grabbed him by his injured shoulder and she used her wings to hold him firmly in place. Alessio felt that she had strong wings.

“Then let's enjoy this.” She smiled, leaning down to kiss his neck.

Alessio, however, pushed her away with both hands, despite this causing a strong pain in his shoulder, surprising her with his strength, of having freed himself from the grip of her wings.

"Stay away from my colt-friend. Lightning Dust!" She exclaims the voice they both recognized as Rainbow Dash's.

Lighting turned to see a cyan punch coming right in her face and the force of RD's punch made her jump at least three meters back and onto the low cloud that RD herself had placed low and then, with a kick she sent Lighthing Dust and the cloud away.

One thing was certain for both Lighthing Dust and Rainbow Dash, from this day on they would be rivals.

"Thanks Dashie. And.. it wasn't what it seems..." Alessio said even though he realized that the tone and words he said were misunderstood given the situation.

Rainbow Dash rubs her knuckles as she looks at him and smiles. "I know. I was on the same cloud I threw her on earlier and I saw everything. I know you well enough to understand that you would have refused." she said.

Alessio sighs as he sees something metallic on the ground. I look down and saw something that looked like a flyer badge like the one Dash had, only it was silver and very old and tarnished.

'What is this? Does this belong to Lightning Dust?' he murmur, and he grab it, examine it and read the small partially visible name of Lighthing Bolt. It was Lighthing Dust's grandfather's badge.

Alessio sigh and look at Rainbow who also thinks the same thing.

"I'll give it to Spitfire" Rainbow Dash said grabbing the badge. "If Lighthing Dust wants it back, Spitfire will deliver it to them." she concluded.

Alessio nodded while massaging his injured shoulder, then he and Rainbow Dash returned to the academy.

*Several hours later, at night*

The day went better, except for Lighthing Dust's attempt to seduce him. Alessio still had to pack his bags and in his luggage, he discovered that he had not put the bottle of Zecora's healing herbal potion. Consequently, he would have to wait until the next day. He sighed and he decided it was time to go to sleep.

Alessio hear a knock on the door. Apparently it wasn't the time and he wondered who on earth it was at this hour.

Standing up in his sweatpants and t-shirt that he had had trouble taking off, so he preferred to sleep in it. he went and moving from the door, asked who it was and when he recognized the voice of his marefriend he opened it.

Rainbow Dash was standing in the doorway, still wearing her Wonderbolts suit. She looked at him and smiled. "What's the matter, honey, won't you let me in? How's your shoulder, by the way?" she asked.

Alessio smiled and stepped aside to let her in, Rainbow smiled giving him a quick kiss and turned to look at him while he closed the door.

"Pretty good, I need to avoid straining my shoulder. Just like how you managed to come here, without attracting attention, you might have problems" he said.

Rainbow Dash giggles. “And don't come make sure you're okay and since you're coming home tomorrow morning. There was one thing to do that Lighthing Dust was wrong about that we both know when and when to be intimate. ~", she said in a sensual voice as she approached him and gently pushed him onto the bed behind him.

Taking the initiative, knowing this would put Allessio's mind at ease, she got up and began unzipping the front of her suit as she straddled him on the bed. Alessio He was a bit taken aback, but did not resist.
Rainbow looked down at his eyes from her higher perch, she purr. "How about take comfort in each other for tonight? Let's let all this discussion of what it's happening here and about, fall by the wayside and we just enjoy tonight?" she slid her hand down his chest.

Alessio let out a slight moan of pain, he hadn't told her that he also had bruises and chest pain, from when he had caught her when she fell. "Let's say I have several pains now, Dashie."

She rainbow pouted, but she would have been able to make a compromise, but then she, seeing her grimace of pain, she asked him. "Where does it hurt?" she asked.

Alessio points to the right side of his chest, still covered by the T-shirt. “Here,” I grumble.

Rainbow smiled as she also lifted his shirt to help him undress, realizing how problematic it was for him to change with an injured shoulder. Although she was shocked by the bruise she had formed and realizing how she could have gotten it, she smiled and placed a small kiss on the bruise. 'Where else are you hurting?' she asked.

Alessio points to his elbow. "Here," and Rainbow kisses that spot after taking off his shirt. He points to his shoulder "here", and, again, Rainbow Dash kisses that spot.

Alessio points to the face on the his chin. "Here". Rainbow smiled and kissed his chin and then, she and he instantly said 'Same here?'" When he pointed to her lips, they stared at each other, giggled, chuckled and, then Rainbow kissed him.

Without broken the kiss, Rainbow Dash unzipped her suit further, baring her breasts at him. Alessio, looked up at her to look into her magenta eyes, while her cyan pegasus looked back, she slid her hands up his chest, "We would be careful, let's enjoy this moment, darling~" she said.

Rainbow, kissing him passionately and engaging in a tongue battle with him. Alessio put one arm around her while with the other she began to undress, with a little help from him.

Rainbow sat down and lay on her side, she bent one arm under her right leg, lifting it, keeping her hand on her toned thigh, resting her other arm on the bed, showing him her femininity and giving him a sensual expression. smile and bedroom eyes, "Well, what are you waiting for Alessio, you can take me now, commander~," she said in a very sensual voice, beckoning him with her finger to come and take her.

"Yes ma'am." he said.

Alessio smiled and grabbed her leg while aligning the tip of the hard and erect member and placing it at the entrance of her femininity, massaging the tip up and down the slit several times just to tease and lubricate it, ignoring the moan of his friendly mare. and eager look, he pushes his hips forward and slowly enters her, they both moan hoarsely in bliss and once inside her, he begins thrusting with a little teasing at first, thrusting in and out of her at a slow but steady pace , then increasing the speed of his strikes.

Dash then opened her eyes wide and let out a loud moan as she felt Alessio begin to pound his member harder and harder directly deep inside her womanhood, with her buttocks slapping and hitting against her groin in this sideways position, hitting his hips into Dash's beautiful round, firm, bouncy ass with every thrust he made into her, making her gasp, scream and moan louder in pleasure with each thrust, she threw her head back and her back arching further with each thrust, moaning loudly and screaming with pleasure.

"Hah!! ~, Hah!! ~ Hah!! ~ Yes! ~, Yes!. Yes, fuck me! ~, Fuck me hard! Alessio fuck me faster! Don't you dare stop! ~", She shouted her loud pleasure.

Alessio gritted his teeth as he further increased the intensity of his thrusts, slamming her harder and faster against his manhood, like a piston in and out of her, for the next few minutes.

Alessio changes position, without ceasing to hammer her femininity deep inside, placing her flat on her back and bends over, holding on to Dash's legs with both hands, who is at first surprised by the sudden change of position, before moaning and screaming out loud pleasure, she stretches out her arms and clasps them behind her head, arching her back, giving him an arrogant, challenging smile, before, after a few minutes, she has to stretch out her arms and grip the headboard firmly and raises her hips with every thrust that she receives in the lotus position on the table, her big breasts bouncing with every thrust.

Another fifteen minutes later, Alessio began to feel the familiar sensation growing inside him.

“Dashie…I'm going to…come!”, he panted.

“Do it!~ Inside me!~,” Dash whimpered in delight as she orgasmed, she moaned loudly as she squeezed the fluid down her legs, she shuddered with pleasure as she orgasmed. Alessio didn't even try to hold back any longer and let out a hoarse moan of pleasure through clenched teeth as he came, shooting his sticky cum into Dash's womb. Alessio instinctively pushed his hips against her to torment her further as his climax played out, spraying his seed into Dash's womb again as she panted and pushed her hips back to milk his member as her inner walls did till last drop.

Both panting as they looked at each other, before Dash smiled, she stood up to sit and wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulders and kissed him deeply. Alessio wraps his arms behind her back, and they both rest for a few seconds, kissing intensely.

After another hours of fun, changing positions. Alessio and Rainbow Dash exhausted, lying on the bed. even if Alessio then had to arrange the pillows to sleep against the headboard of the bed, since he was still wearing the brace, so as not to have problems sleeping. Rainbow had a better idea. She put herself in the same position as Alessio, cuddled up to him and put her wing around his shoulders and hugs his waist, and rested her head against his chest, after a passionate goodnight kiss. they fell asleep.

Hello everyone. Dear readers, in this new update of 'Assistance tailor and Handyman at Equestria'. Of this new year. It was supposed to come out in January but I had a lot of commitments IRL. However although the chapter is based on the Wonderbolt Academy episode. I wanted to dedicate it to Alessio and Rainbow Dash and their relationship. I hope you like the chapter. Regarding Lighthing Dust, I think it was better this way and, for those who liked her, there will be a chapter dedicated to Lighting Dust and her possible redemption yet to be allocated. Don't worry, I just don't want to sweeten the pill for you, since it won't be a chapter anytime soon, because it will have to be decided.
Anyway. notice the little reference about a movie, about Alessio and RD?~.
I have nothing else to add just to thank you readers, I would love to have your comments on what you think of this chapter, if you have ideas, OC characters that you would like to appear in this story as a chapter or have a mare that you want to be there. Let me know in the comments or by PM. See you next time.
