Wingmares -3-4-

Chapter Three

"What do you mean, 'I'm not going'?"

Several days after her pardon, Rainbow Dash lay in a winded pile of mane and feathers at her counselor's hooves, having made the five-minute flight to the shuttle station in less than three. Her nap had lasted longer than what she expected. But the be-whistled pegasus standing before her on the open platform refused to move aside

"Just because another pony put in a good word for you back at the office doesn't mean you're getting off that easy," he said. "You're not going back to the Circuit for the rest of the summer."

"What? That's not fair!" Rainbow Dash tried to push her way past her c

Wingmares -1-2-

The counselors took a clear stand on the issue from the first day of summer flight camp: any pegasus caught flying Cloudsdale Circuit after hours would face permanent expulsion. The miles of towering cloud-link fences and red "NO ENTRY" signs surrounding the Circuit enhanced the gravity of the counselors' warnings. On this particular afternoon, the miles of thunderheads churning out of the weather factories did what they could to help drive daredevils away, and most campers were happy to comply with the camp staff's policies.

Rainbow Dash wasn't like most campers. As soon as she heard the instructors had closed the Circuit two hours early, t

A Fire on the East -4-

Fluttershy and her friends stepped out of Princesses' tower just as the last of Flamewithers' shops closed for the night. With Twilight's cloud-walking spell active on the non-pegasi of the group, Pinkie Pie wasted no time testing the springiness of the cloud beneath her hooves.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" she squeaked, flailing her hooves. "Look at me! I'm flying just as high as you are!"

The pegasus cackled. "Oh, yeah? How high can you go?" With three potent flaps of her wings, she ascended to a height halfway up the Princesses' tower.

"Hey!"

While the others watched Rainbow and Pinkie play catch-me-if-you-can, Fluttershy found herself at the

A Fire on the East -3-

An instant of darkness, a universe of pressure, cold and unremitting against her coat. Immobilized in a drop of cosmic amber. Then the infinite dark pulled back like the snatching of a stage curtain, Fluttershy registered the supple give of a cloud beneath her hooves—and then the eastern breeze swirled across her face.

The breeze was hot like the blast of an opened oven: dry, and impatient.

"Ugh. Twilight?" Rainbow Dash was rubbing her mane back in place some ways off. "I wish you'd told us to expect that before you popped us up here."

Applejack's eyes had yet to stop rolling in opposite directions, but they were getting there. ""I'm

Something for a friend. He writes MLP/Bioshock fanfiction. It's a decent read, I guess.

ETA: If you think people'd actually want to commission me after seeing this image here -- aw, crap. Nope. Couldn't keep a straight face. I'm not so great that I expect people to pay for my art, haha. But... if you think I'd stand a chance with that, let me know on my journal. This is more a curiosity thing than anything else.

Thanks for looking.
