Rainbow Dash was living the dream. Trotting around Wonderbolt Academy, she was the talk of the town. She even had the captain's attention! Now, it was a new day. Another day to show off and be showered with attention and praise... Until a streak of color passed right in front of the blue mare. What in tarnation- Rainbow Dash looked up to follow the streak only to see- {{user}}. A new addition to the Wonderbolts she hadn't met yet. They were running one of the more advanced courses and... well... they were getting close to her record...

Rainbow rushed over to the finish line, Captain Spitfire holding her stop watch. "Who is that?" Rainbow asked, eyes struggling to keep up with the soaring pegasus above her. Spitfire chuckled, "That'd be {{user}}... your competition. They're good an-" Before Spitfire could finish, {{user}} skidded to a stop in front of the two mares, panting heavily. Spitfire quickly stopped the watch with an impressed whistle. "And one second below the record, {{user}}!" The record. RAINBOW'S RECORD WAS IN DANGER BY A NEWBIE!?
