"Now, what have we learned?" "Lots of control," "Good." "Screaming and hollering," "Yes, and most importantly" "Pasion." "Right." "So now that you know the elements of a good cheer, let's hear one." "Yay..." "Uhh..." "You gona cheer for me like that?" "Louder." "Yay..." "Louder!" "Yay." "LOUDER!" "...." "Yay." "Too loud?" "Yay." "And now, phase one of my routine." "Phase two." "Way to go..." "Here we go." "Phase three." "The sonic rainboom." "Come on..." "Uh-oh." "Uh." "Last one." "Thank you so much for helping me clean up all these books, guys." "It was a crazy weekend of studying" "Rainbow dash, you rock" "Woo-hoo" "Did my cheering do that?" "Hehe" "Sorry about that, ladys" "That was a truly feeble performance" "Actually, it wasn't all bad." "I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin." "I'm not talking about my performance!" "I'm talking about yours;" "That feeble cheering." "What are you two arguing about?" "We were arguing?" "I'm sorry." "Ug, I whish you guys could come to Cloudsdale, to see me competing The Best Young Flyer competition." "What's that?" "It's where all the greatest pegases flyers get together and show off their different flying styles" "Some are fast." "And some are graceful." "Gaily!" "I'd love to see you strike your step in that competition." "Yeah." "I whish you guys could be there" "Fluttershy is a great support, but her cheering is not exactly inspirational" "I'd love to see make a sonic rainboom!" "It's like the most coolest thing ever even though I have never actually seen one, but I mean come on!" "It's a sonic rainboom!" "How not cool it could possibly not be!" "What's a sonic rainboom?" "You really need to get out more." "The soinc rainboom is legendary!" "When a pegasus like Rainbow Dash keeps going so fast" "BOOM!" "A sonic boom and a rainbow could happen all at once!" "And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony that ever pulled that off." "It was a long time ago" "I was just a filly." "Yeah, but you gonna do it again, right?" "Are you kidding?" "I'm the greatest flyer that ever come out of Cloudsdale." "I can do sonic rainbooms in my sleep." "wow!" "If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!" "The grand prize is the entire day with The Wonderbolts!" "A whole day of flying with my life long heroes" "It will be a dream come true!" "Yay." "I'm gonna go rest up" "Don't wanna overprepare myself, you know. hehe" "You, on the other hand, better keep practicing" "I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance" "She's practiced that move a hundred times and she's never even come close to doing it." "I dont know if I can cheer loud enough to help her" "Well, guess we beter get this cleaned up." "Again." "Go on, go on" "Go on what?" "Find a spell that will get us, wingless ponies, into Cloudsdale" "Didn't you see how nervous she was?" "Nervous?" "Have you spit yer bit or somethin'?" "She was tooting' her own horn louder than the brass section of the marching band." "Oh, please" "I put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it..." "We've got to find a way to be there for her." "Now, go on!" "How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?" "!" "A flight spell?" "One sec..." "Page 27" "How did you do that?" "It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase." "Here it is." "A spell that will allow earth-ponies to fly for three days uuuh..." "It looks really difficult" "I'm not sure I can do it." "You've got to try." "Ok, but who's gonna voulantier to be the test subject?" "I will!" "For Rainbow Dash I'll go first." "Here goes..." "I think it worked!" "You've got to learn to be assertive, Flattershy." "Dont be afraid to speak up." "Well, well, well." "What do we have here?" "It's our old friend" " Rainbow Crash" "Get kicked out of any flight schools lately?" "I didn't get kicked out." "Face it, Rainbow Crash" "Flight school had too many rules and not enough nap-times for you." "Huh!" "Ask her about the sonic rainboom." "That's nothing but the old mare's tale." "You dont have that skills to try something like that." "Now wait just a minute." "Uh, I'm sorry." "I'm trying to be more assertive." "Anyhow... she IS going to do a sonic rainboom." "No she's not, 'cos there is no such thing." "Then show up at the Cloudsdale?" "and see for yourself." "If you free." "Hahaha - if you free." "Hoho, don't wory - we'll be there." "See you then, Rainbow Crash." "Did you see that?" "I was so assertive." "Huh.." "Those guys are right" " I'll never be able to do it." "But Rainbow Dash, just because you failed the sonic rainboom a hundred thousand times in practice ...doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in front of entire stadium ...full of impatient super-critical sportsmen ponies." "What do I do?" "!" "Everypony is gonna see me fail!" "The Wonderbolts will never let a loser like me join!" "Princess Celestia will probably banish me to the Everfree Forest!" "My life is ruined!" "Rar..." "RARE?" "!" "The sonic rainboom is way more than rare!" "Raaarity?" "!" ".." "Rarity?" "Are you... flying?" "I most certainly am!" "Aren't my wings smashing?" "Twilight made them for me." "I just adore them!" "Why so shocked?" "We couldn't leave our faivorit flyier without a big cheering section." "We?" ".." "I can't believe it!" "It's incredible!" "This is so cool!" "You guys made it!" "Sure did." "Wait!" "How did you do that?" "Only pegasus ponies can walk on clouds." "Pretty cool, ha?" "I found a spell that makes temporary wings." "But it was too difficult to do more than once." "So I found an easier spell that lets the rest of us walk on clouds." "An we came to cheer you to victory!" "To be honest, I was starting to get just a tinyest-tinyest bit nervous." "But I feel a lot better now that you guys are here." "Hey!" "We've got some time before the competition." "Why dont Fluttershy and I show you arond Cloudsdale?" "Here it is..." "The greatest city in the sky!" "Some of the greatest pegasai in history came from Cloudsdale." "Uh!" "Wait for me!" "Those wings are gorgeous!" "Oh, why, thank you!" "Be carefull with those wings, Rarity." "They are made of gasmore?" "and morning dew and are incredibly delicate." "Don't worry Twilight, I'm sure they can't get worn out from too much attention." "Since we up here, I true like to get a look where the weather made." "Great idea!" "Come on, girls." "To the weather factory!" "This is where they make the snow flakes." "Each one is hoofmade." "As you could see, it's a delicate operation." "Ooo..." "The snowflakes look even beter from up here." "We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and cause us a drought." "And here's where they make the rainbows." "Spicy!" "Yeah, rainbows doesn't really known for their flavor." "Where'd you get those amasing wings?" "!" "I wanna pair!" "Mmm.." "Yeah, I guess I could see that." "Oooh, hey, look, it's Rainbow Crash again." "Heheheyea, Rainbow, erm.." "Crash." "Rarity, what are you doing talking with THESE guys?" "Oh, they were just admiring my wings, Rainbow Dash." "Yeah." "You should forget the sonic rainboom and just get yourself some wings like these." "Oh.." "Come on, girls." "Why don't we go see how clouds are made." "Dont listen for them." "You gona win that competition for sure." "Are you kidding?" "I can't do the sonic rainboom." "And just look at these boring plain old feathered wings." "I'm doomed." "Why, these old things?" "Go ahead everypony - photos are encouraged." "Rarity!" "We supposed to be helping Rainbow Dash relax." "Remember?" "Put your wings away and stop showing off!" "Upf!" "How can you ask me to put away perfection?" "Rainbow Dash, are you o'key?" "You don't look so good." "Of course!" "Why wouldn't I be ok?" "Everyone so in love with Rarity's wings, that they won't even notice when I totally blow it in a Best Young Flyers competition!" "Hey!" "There is an idea." "You should enter the competition." "Yeah!" "I could watch you fly all day long." "There really isn't anypony who uses their wings quite like me." "Perhaps I should compete." "What?" "!" "What am I gonna do?" "I'll never win the competition now." "I'm going to be awhile." "Fillies and gentlecolts." "Please rise and join me in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia!" "Please welcome our celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyers competition" " The Wonderbolts!" "And now let's find out who will take the prize as this year's best young flyer!" "Okey contestant number 1 - you're up." "Okey, number 2 - let's go." "Come on, come on, we aint got all day." "She's talking to you." "Uh, oh, I guess it's me." "Okey, number 4 - time to go." "I'm number 4 and I need just one more itsy-bitsy minute." "Be a dear and have somepony go ahead of me." "M?" "Look, I dont care, who it is, but somepony got to go on." "Let's do this!" "What am I gonna do?" "I love number 7." "Doing 15 barrel rolls in a row can't be easy." "My favorit is number 10." "She just looks like such a nice pony." "Hm." "Wonder how come we haven't seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet." "The competition is almost over." "Number 15, let's go." "Rarity is ready!" "Look ladies, I dont know what to tell you." "There is only time for one more performance." "If you both want to compete, you'll just have got to go out there together." "Well, Rainbow Dash, shall we?" "And now, for our final competitor of the day - contestant number 15." "Err.." "And a third leg it does with number 4." "Good luck, Rainbow Dash." "Just do your best." "I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of changing our music." "That rock'n'roll does not really match my wings." "Come on, Rainbow Dash." "You can do this." "Just remember the routine." "Phase one." "Nice work, Rainbow Crash!" "Ahaha." "Time for phase two." "Look!" "Phase two is working." "And now, for my grand finale I will fly right up to the sun ...and beam my beautiful wings over the whole city of Clousdale." "Ah!" "Oh, they'll be talking about it for years!" "Looks like this is my last chance to turn things around." "Phase three." "The sonic.. rainboom." "Wings, don't fail me now!" "Look upon me, Equestria, for I am RARITY!" "Oh no!" "Her wings evaporated into thin air!" "Hold on, Rarity!" "I'm coming!" "I can't look." "A sonic rainboom!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "A sonic rainboom!" "Yeesss!" "Yeeessss!" "I did it!" "I did it!" "Yeah.." "You sure did." "Oh, thank you, Rainbow Dash - you saved my life!" "Oh, yeah!" "I did that too!" "Best day EVER!" "I want to apologise to all of you for getting so carried away with my.. beutiful wings." "I guess I just lost my head." "It's o'key, Rarity." "Oh, don't worry about it." "We still love you." "And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you would worked so hard to win it." "Can you ever, ever forgive me?" "Oh, it's ok." "Everything turned out alright." "Right?" "I just wish I could have met the Wonderbolts when they are awake." "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "So, you're the little pony who saved our lives?" "We really wanted to meet you and say thanks." "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "Princess?" "!" ".." "Hello, Twilight Sparkle." "And hello to your friends too." "Pricess Celestia.." "I'm sorry I ruin the competition." "Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria." "I know she is, my dear." "That's why for her incredible act of bravery and her spectacular sonic rainboom ...I'm presenting the grand prize for best young flyer to this year winner - miss Rainbow Dash." "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "O my gosh!" "So, Twilight Sparkle, did you learn anything about friendship from this experience?" "I did, princess." "But I think Rarity learned even more than me." "I certainly did." "I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground and be there for your friends." "Excelent!" "Well done, Rarity." "This really is the best day EVER!" "Eh.." "Hey, Rainbow Crash..." "DASH!" "Oh, sorry." "Rainbow Dash, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition." "That sonic rainboom was AWSOME!" "Heh." "Thanks, guys." "Ee..." "We are really sorry we gave you such a hard time before." "Aa.." "That's ok." "Don't worry abot it." "Hey!" "Do you want to hang out with us?" "Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick." "Sorry, boys." "But I've got plans."
