The morning
There was Fleetfoot: petite but very nimble and winning almost all the races. She was the swiftest pegasus in Equestria! And Spitfire covered all general aspects of a Wonderbolt's skill: speed, strength, energy, agility, endurance, and of course guts, earning her the exclusive position of team captain. Then there was Soarin: sturdy, strong, however he was still amazingly fast—Soarin'. Rainbow Dash snapped into reality. She was loafing! The cyan pony shoved more spoonfuls of cereal in her mouth. She gagged at the overwhelmingly numerous jumble of her late breakfast. Spitting out the unnecessary oats back in her bowl, she glanced at the clock. It was noon. Though Rainbow had an hour till the Wonderbolt performance, she wanted to be early. She literally couldn't wait. The impatient pegasus grunted and chewed hastily the remaining cereal in her mouth. After five grueling (for Dash) minutes, the white plastic bowl was scraped clean of oats. She dropped it in the sink.
"Eh, I'll rinse it later." RD shrugged. She leaped to the mirror and hurriedly ran a comb through her rainbow mane until it had a convincingly straight look. Of course, it was still tangled and messy, but it didn't really matter. Dash pushed opened the door, froze, grabbed a fair amount of bits, and left her mansion.
Rainbow Dash whipped her wings back and forth as she flew the simple route to Cloudsdale, where the Wonderbolt show was taking place. The young mare was eager to see her friend, Soarin', again. Sometimes Dash would jolt with surprise when she would think of how she actually spoke casually with somepony she idolized a great deal of her life. But a few days had passed since Nightmare Night and the fact of her and the Wonderbolt's companionship had sunk in. Doubt twinged in Rainbow when it crossed her mind of how she would access the celebrity. Would Soarin' be able to pick her out amongst the stadium teeming with fans? Dash closed her eyes and beat her wings quicker and tried to dismiss the worries that raided her hopeful mind.
She focused her attention on the vast sky and the approaching massive expanse of clouds that RD easily identified as pegasi appeared to be on their way to the bustling winged pony city. She wondered how many of them were there to spectate the performance. Then she smugly wondered how many were there to personally speak to Soarin'.
The whistling wind shooting through Dash's mane halted when she hopped on the cloud stairs at the entrance to Cloudsdale. She trotted through the gold rimmed square archway. Rainbow Dash paused to intake the magnificent city busy with pegasi weather workers. Rainbow falls poured into a colorful mist at peaks. Spectacular cloud structures towered here and there. Dash tore her dazzled eyes from the vibrant sights that enveloped her and continued her flight to the colosseum.
When Dash arrived at her destination, an extensive line of talkative and enthusiastic ponies of all ages stretched before her to purchase admission. She hurtled herself to the end of it to claim the spot before anypony else could. Each minute Rainbow walked a few steps as the pegasi filed through. She anxiously peered to see how many more ponies were left in front of her. A couple mares and a stallion. Dash counted. She tapped her hoof as they headed in one by one. Finally it was Rainbow's turn.
