The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Trixie smiled back as she was kissed "Trixie is pleased that twilight did enjoy that.  But Trixie also has another question for Twilight....Trixie is wondering how Twilight got so good at using magic.  Trixie has tried her hardest, but Trixie has been never been as good as Twilight" she sighed a little as she snuggled right up to Twilight "Tomorrow, can Twilight teach Trixie a few magic spells?"

(Cloudsdale)

"Alright then, show me, after all, I have been wondering what other tricks you can do other than the Sonic Rainboom" Spitfire smiled to Rainbow Dash before she also smiled to the living planes "And yeah, that's me, Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts"

(Sugercube Corner)

"I'm Derpy Hooves, or others call me Ditzy Doo as well" Derpy explained to the aliens at least.

"Are you a connoisseur of holes?" Jason asked Derpy.  

Sara walked to place herself on the opposite side of the hole where Jason was.  

"Though I guess we should fix the hole." Jason said.  "Ready?" He asked Sara.

She nodded, "Yes."

Jason relaxed a bit and concentrated, first on linking with Sara mentally.  "Contact." HE said. She said the same.  Then they started to use their magic joinly to fix the hole, pulling together the broken pieces back to the place where they were before the hole was broken.  They continued working till the hole looked visually fixed then they worked on making sure the hole was fully fixed, even down to smaller then could normally be seen.

Derpy shook her head back "Nuh uh, I like muffins the best.  They're just so super tasty and delicious" she answered with, having no idea on what they meant by being a connoisseur "Holes are so awesome and all, but muffins are the best"

"Yea, especially chocolate muffins." Gnash said.  "Or even just chocolate by itself."


---------------------

"I'm sure there are some folks who like your music.  Did they seem to be enjoying themselves at the parties that you DJ'd at?" Spike asked, "As for Olivia look where she plays, at a place where only snooty stuck up ponies live." Spike said.

"I...guess that's true...." Vinyl sighed back at Spike as she soon, entered her house before just sitting down.  Her horn started to glow as she put on one of her older mixes that she had recorded a while ago for spike to hear.

"Just tell me the truth....my music sucks, doesn't it?" Vinyl asked Spike with her head hung low as the music just played in the background, as if Vinyl was already doubting herself.

Spike listened to the music.  "I like it.  I think it sounds nice.  " Spike said giving a thumbs up.  "Nice music." Spike said.

"Octavia doesn't think it's all that great, not that I care what she thinks....that snotty, stuck up classical, know it all mare, what, with her instruments and her calm composture and...." Vinyl stopped herself, resalzing that she was just talking about Octavia a bit too much herself.

She shook her head a little bit "But what do I care what she thinks anyway?" she sighed a bit as she looked to Spike, giving him a little smile as well "But I guess....thanks anyway...."

"Right, just think of how you feel about your music and what others here in ponyville who have been to where you are have dj'd." Spike said.  


----

"There, the hole is all fixed." Jason said.  

"Maybe even better then before." Sara said.  

"I kinda liked the rug idea." Gnash said.  "it sounded cool."

"Yeah, I mean, my music is my life and hearing her say...that about my music just made me feel...well..." Vinyl sighed again.

***

Derpy trotted over where the hole used to be and jumped up and down on it, as if to test it if it was fixed properly "Wow, that's a good job that you did with it" was all she said, still jumping up and down on it until she landed, and as she did, she fell through the floor, through a smaller hole that she had ended up creating.

"Whoa! That was awesome!" Derpy called out from inside the hole.

(Spire of Winter)

Deimos swallowed his mouthful of fish. "Ms. Swimmer was with them on their scientific survey. She said she was heading to a location known as the 'Everfree Forest'."

He then sighed. "Unfortunately, she does not have a radio or any other means of contact."

-----------------

(Phoenix)

Dr. Kerzach pushed his knife into the window. Not surprisingly, it didn't penetrate it.

"No good, the window's not enchanted. If it were, then I'd be able to cut through it."

-----------------

(Twilight's House)

"Well, some ponies are born with more magical talent than others and as far as I know, there is no known way to increase it but anypony can become quite proficient if they practice," Twilight said as she closed her eyes and sighed.

-----------------

Joan sighed and went down the stairs to fetch Derpy. She carried the Pegasus up the stairs with one hand.

"Derpy, please, I already put a hole in the floor by mistake. I don't want Mrs. Cake thinking I destroyed her bakery."

The two ordinary soldiers nodded and exited the cafe, their exoskeletons whirring as they did so.

They knew that Applejack let the people from the Spire of Winter stay at her farm in exchange for some labor.
 
"So what shall we do now?" Joan asked

---------------

(En route to Cloudsdale)

Rainbow Dash started with her "Fantastic Filly Flash". She rapidly climbed in a manner similar to the zoom climb used by the living planes and dove down. As the glowing mach cone forming around her, she seemed to hang in midair and a brilliant flash of rainbow colored light issued forth as she decelerated and hovered in midair.

Both the planes flew in slow lazy loops to avoid stalling as they could not hover.

"Damn! I only wish I could do that!" Lt. Martin said.

"Well, keep practicing!" Rainbow Dash crowed.

"So Spitfire, I never introduced myself, I am Major Allison Douglas, also known by my callsign 'Rainbow'," Rainbow said to Spitfire. "Dunno if Dash told you this, but I'm the flight leader of an aerobatics team on my world."

"ignore her.  Not everyone can like the same things." Spike said patting Vinyl softly with one hand.

------------------

"Guess we have another hole to fix. " Jason said.

"If I have time maybe I can enchant the floor to fix itself when it brakes again." Sara said.

"Looks like that may be necessary." Brooklyn said.

Trixie looked at Twilight as she too sighed "Trixie will still try her best to be just as good as Twilight is, she wants to show Twilight that she can still be useful and not just all...for show...." she sighed again as she snuggled up to Twilight again "Cause at times, that's what Trixie believes that she's good at doing, just....showing off really....like when she was in Ponyville last...."

***

(Cloudsdale)

Spitfire smiled to the living planes again while she also watched Rainbow Dash pull of her moves "She is good" she spoke before turning to the living planes as she sat down on a nearby cloud "The leader huh? Well, I have to say that I've never seen a being such as yourself before, but I will take your word for it" she nodded.

Her gaze then shifted over to Rainbow Dash again, thinking for a moment before leaping off the cloud and flew over to the other pegasus, stopping right in front of her "Thought that you did have a lot of talent after all.  I've actually got something to show you as well, it's here in Cloudsdale too, this way" she told Rainbow Dash, glancing to the two living planes "Mind if you two wait here too? We'll be back soon enough" and with that, Spitfire headed off, hoping that Rainbow Dash would follow her.

***

(Sugercube Corner)

Derpy looked to Joan, then to the hole that she created by mistake "But that was an accident, really! I didn't think it would break like that!" she spoke, her voice raised slightly without realizing it.

***

(Kratos' World)

Kratos narrowed his eyes as he fell to the ground, one of his weapons knocked out of his hands.  He swung his other fist at Chong instead, still wanting to at least strike him hard across the face.

***

(Vinyl's Place)

"Yeah, I guess so" Vinyl smiled to Spike lightly "But....thanks anyway, you know, for keeping me company and trying to make me feel better"

"Spitfire, we'll just be flying around Cloudsdale," Rainbow said. She then winked. "Maybe we'll show you some of our stunts tomorrow. Of course, we don't have magic but we can use technology as a replacement.

Rainbow Dash looked at Spitfire and followed her into Cloudsdale.

----------------

(Sugarcube Corner)

Joan nodded. "Believe me Derpy, I accidentally put an even bigger hole in the floor."

She then sighed. "I guess that's a hazard when your armor makes you weigh like 1,500 pounds."

It didn't take all that long until they arrived at Spitfire's other little getaway from Canterlot and showed Rainbow Dash inside "Now, what I wanted to show you....well, it's more as to give you, but for that, I'd rather you just close your eyes first....makes the suprise that much....better I suppose you could say"

Spitfire smiled to Rainbow Dash before she turned to go and get what she was going to give her new rainbow maned friend.  She returned with a Wonderbolt costume in her mouth and nuzzle Rainbow Dash slighly, just to get her to open her eyes.

"For you" Spitfire smile to her rather softly.

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and picked up the Wonderbolt outfit. "Oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh!" she said as she danced in place with excitement. "Wow! I... I don't know what to say!"

She continued squeeing and fangirling for several minutes. She then turned to Spitfire. "Erm, can I have some help putting this on?"

-------------------

Lt. Martin, seeing that Rainbow Dash was able to land on the clouds, found a long strip of cloud to use as a runway. She prepared for landing - only to fall through the clouds. She screamed a remarkable array of profanities as she quickly recovered from the impromptu dive and rapidly climbed back to where Rainbow was slowly flying lazy loops around a minaret.

Rainbow could only smirk at her friend's misfortune as she turned on her side and flew through a narrow gap in the buildings.

"Yeah, it's your very own Wonderbolt costume" Spitfire still smiled to Rainbow Dash, watching her dance around on the spot "It was just a spare and I thought, why not just give it to the one pegasus that deserves it the most? But sure, I can help you get it on"

"That, and that's not all either, there is one other thing too...." Spitfire stepped closer to Rainbow Dash "There is a place available on the Wonderbolts as well....and I was just wondering if you would like to be an actual Wonderbolt? After all, I gave you the costume for a reason" she again, mused to Rainbow Dash as she started to help her into her Wonderbolt costume.

Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in shock. "Would I ever!" she cried.

--------------

Rainbow did several aileron rolls as she flew around a minaret of Cloudsdale. She was tempted to go supersonic but she'd rather not cause havoc with the roar of her twin afterburners. Even then, it was a miracle that nopony complained about the two living planes' powerful engines.

Spitfire just chuckled lightly as she finished helping Rainbow Dash into her Wonderbolt costume as she stood back a little to look at Rainbow Dash more clearly, looking her over as she circled the other pegasus "Yes, you look fantastic in that costume.  I just had a feeling that you'd fit that costume....after all, you look rather, well...pretty, I suppose is a word to use in that" she chuckled again "Fellow Wonderbolt"

Spitfire in turn, did nuzzle Rainbow Dash slightly at that "Well, you get the point anyway"

Rainbow Dash was blushing furiously. She returned the nuzzle. She looked at herself. "Heh, well I do suppose I look rather handsome!"

----------------

Lt. Martin happened to fly over the area where Rainbow Dash and Spitfire were. She whooped as she did a barrel roll and wheeled around to fly off in a new direction.

----------------

(Twilight's House)

Twilight put a hoof on Trixie's snout. "Forget about last time. Everypony makes mistakes; it is useless to dwell on them. Learn your lesson and move on."
