A Special Dance

The Only Chapter

SoarinDash

It was a sunny day with the birds chirping and the wind blowing in her mane. Her? Who was her? The one and only Rainbow Dash of course! The fastest flyer in Equestria.

She was currently racing through Ponyville, her home, to reach the Friendship Castle. Her friends were all going to be there, since she had asked them to meet her. She had some pretty exciting news, but as she drew closer she started to have doubts.

The Friendship Castle was nearing in sight and Dash sighed, she really had never thought about this earlier, because back then, she had nothing worth staying for.

She glided towards a stop right in front of the castle when she saw Pinkie Pie bouncing towards her.

"Hiya Dashie!!!!" Pinkie waved. Dash stopped and waited for Pinkie so they could enter together.

"Heya Pinks." Dash said as she joined her.

"...soo, what kind of news do you have, eh?" Asked Pinkie, narrowing her eyes trying to pry information.

"Nu uh, I'm gonna say it with the rest of the girls, so I'm not gonna spill the beans just yet." Dash chuckled.

"Shoot." She pouted.

They soon entered the throne room and it was filled with chatter but the girls quieted down as soon as they saw Dash and Pinkie enter. They took their seats and Twilight spoke up, "Well Dash, what did you want to tell us?"

Dash smiled and took a deep breath. "The Wonderbolts sent a letter over this morning."

The girls ears perked up. "Well? What was it about?" Applejack asked.

"Well, you can read it." She pulled out a letter and gave it to them. Twilight took the letter with her magic and they girls started to read it.

"Reserve Rainbow Danger Dash,

This letter has been sent to you from the Wonderbolts HQ, and I would like to say that your time as a reserve is over, we want you to join the official squadron along with two other reserves. You must report to the compound at 10:00 am sharp. If you don't want the position please send a letter back and we will give the spot to another reserve.

Regards,

Captain Spitfire"

The girls gasped, and drowned Rainbow Dash in a flurry of congratulations. This was very exciting news to them, they knew how much Dash had worked and wanted to join, so it made them really happy for her to finally achieve her dream.

"But..." Dash said after the girls had calmed down. "I don't know if I want to anymore......"

"WHAT?!?!" They screamed.

"But, Dash it's been your life's ambition!" Rarity said, puzzled.

"Yes...but, the Wonderbolts only give their elite members time off after a show, only one week! Other than that, it's just training—and that would be awesome, don't get me wrong but, that would mean I'd have to leave you guys. What if I forget about you? What if I let the fame get to my head again? What if I don't have the time anymore?What if—" She was cut off by Twilight.

"Now Rainbow Dash, I will not have any of these 'second thoughts'. You've worked too hard for this, practically your whole life!! You can't let that go to waste! Besides, we know you, you'd never forget us, and your the fastest flyer for Celestia's sake! I know you would make time, you always learn from your mistakes as well, so I don't think you'd ever let the fame get to your head again."

Tears formed in Dash's eyes, a rare sight to be seen from the prismatic pegasus. "I-I-I......"

"Come here, sugarcube." Applejack said and hugged her, and the others soon joined in.
