You hop from hoof to hoof excitedly as you wait for the Wonderbolts to enter the stadium’s locker room. An old friend had unloaded VIP tickets to everypony’s favorite flying team onto you (for a very reasonable price), and you had never been more psyched to see a flying show.

You suck in a tight breath as the team trots into the room. Vaguely, you’re aware that the others with VIP tickets are murmuring excitedly behind you, but you let the noise fade into nothingness.

Your eyes flicker excitedly to and from each passing member as they come down the concrete ramp: Misty Fly, Silver Zoom, Surprise, Soarin’, Rapidfire… The very ponies you had been gushing over for years as a fan. You had been told that you’d only have about five minutes to speak who you wanted before you and the rest of the VIP ticket crowd would be ushered out. The team had to attend to their business, after all.

Still, you couldn’t think of who you wanted to talk to most. Deciding to late fate take you where it willed, you took a single step forward toward the mob of athletes.

“Hey!” a raspy voice calls. “I recognize you from Ponyville!”

You look to your left to see another small group of Wonderbolts coming down the ramp into the locker room, a rainbow-maned mare leading them. Despite the suit covering her body, you know exactly who she is.

The mare stops in front of you, taking her goggles off of her eyes and placing them around her head. She squints slightly as she takes a look at you. “Yup, I’ve definitely seen you before. Name’s Rainbow Dash!”

You of course know who she is. She’s been on the Wonderbolts for less time than some of her teammates, but then again, who cares!? She actually recognized you!

What in Equestria are you going to talk to her about, though?

To babble incoherently like the gushing Wonderbolts fan that you are, proceed to Chapter 1.
To play it totally cool with her, proceed to Chapter 2.
To ignore her (because mares totally dig it when you act like you don’t care) proceed to Chapter 3.
To *instantly* begin hitting on Rainbow Dash, proceed to Chapter 4.
