Dashy has to complete her WFAC (Wonderbolts Flying Accademy Course) in order to graduate. Despite boasting as the best, she encounters a rival who sets her on a test she can't pass. Will she have the strength to go through it?

Edit: Anyone want an alternate ending? I've got one I'm thinking of :3

Do I need to say anything? We know these characters, and the use of pronouns is not frowned upon.

She turned around, noticing the horror in her rival's face when she realised Dashy cheated, then proceeded to run past the finishing line.

What rule? Explain.

(a book loving unicorn), and who her rival was (an apple farmer).

We know this already!

She cheated, was cheating, and in order to win, knew she had to cheat, yet she was cheated by her own desires.
Plus, she was up against a fellow cheater as well.
Cheaters don't win

My goodness.

Raising her right wing, she knocked her rival with her body<;> sending the poor<,> cheating pegasus into the forest below. She might have hit her too hard, as her rival was clearly spinning out of control<.> and into the forest below

Shame on you.

uncharacteristically

Find a smaller word, please. Sorta breaks your flow.

nodded the five in unison

<period> They nodded.

"Dear Rainbow Dash, I'm not the one you should thank for this picture. Thank Spike. That little bugger went up to each Wonderbolt, begging with his cute little eyes to sign the picture. He did it because he knew you wanted it so bad, and since you were down from today, he figured it be something that could cheer you up! Hope you enjoy it!
P.S. Spike says get well soon! He's too occupied with packing up your room so we can throw you a not-so-surprise party when you come out!

Who wrote this?

Pro bono ad opus:

Clearly, you are an advanced writer. Well practiced and certainly understanding of thematic elements.

In short, there is a slight hiccup with this prose. You've certainly proved your point, that you enjoy fair play and the episode that teaches it.

You've retouched said point on cheating being wrong, but ironically in the wrong way. The abuse of "cheater" feels artificial. A broad vocabulary is the reason why Stephen King gets money for turning in his grocery lists.

The italics seem as if you're making this a flashback, but keep in mind that intense scenes are best left standard. Don't rely on the stream of conciousness, however. It is not a memory.

In any case, these changes will make it easier to read. Keep it up, and you may get a watcher. :twilightsmile:

Oh and for the sake of being a troll...

Mate. 3/4 of the bloody story is in italics.

2303710 OH OOPS... o.o lemme rectify it... must have been my sleepy brain last night

2303710 lol i missed a [./i] somewhere... silly me XD:derpytongue2:

2303329 :twilightblush: Awh shucks. Advanced writer? I've only just started :D

Thanks man xD fixed up a lot of stuff, and fixed that damned italicised problem... stupid [./i] :flutterrage:
Also, as for the 'cheater' point, I tried to make it seem like the only thing she lost was her own dignity, but that didn't turn out too well... D: maybe I should have made her win the race instead... HMM.. ALTERNATE ENDING!

The eyes of determination stuck onto her face, only to be an interrupted by a certain blue pegasus on the microphone.
A pegasus Dashy always wished to be flying beside.
"Mares and gentlecolts," announced Spitfire over the speakers

You seem to have some of your colors mixed up a bit my friend. I feel like you meant to say something about a blue flight suit instead.

That was a pretty nice little story right there. I am going to look forward to reading more stories by you in the future. Keep up the great writing!

What weird changeling replaced Twilight? She speaks absolutely nothing like she did in this story, and even the letter was out of character.

2693445 I've yet to look back at this fic. My first few are horrible and I want it all burnt to the ground :X Hmm, now that I looked at it... yea... I sorta made her more like a Rarity than anything. Thanks for pointing that out! Will change it.

2692867 dude, if you liked this crap, my later ones will blow ur mind lol :rainbowwild:

I tend to be a bit biased towards stories involving Rainbow Dash and really any other athletic Pegasi. I'll definitely read your OctaScratch story though, I'be been growing more and more fond of that shipping.
