[wannabolt]

[Today, those around the enclosure and over the journals will hear a booming announcement from Rainbow Dash. You see, she's spotted the new arrivals, and she's gotten her hooves on a megaphone for an important announcement.]

Attention, Luceti! You're about to be stunned, amazed, and totally floored! That's right, I'm about to pull off my show-stopping stunts, so you better keep your eyes on the sky, or you're gonna miss out!

[And she's going all out with this. Clouds are being reshaped to form words, arrows, and other oddities to get people's attention. And it's all happening in the blink of an eye.

Once she's satisfied with the crowd, she'll be pulling off a some awesome stunts.

She'll probably land sometime between her announcement and big display to see who's showing up.

This is a free-for-all! Have at her.]

[Those reshaped clouds have caught somepony's attention, alright! And she'll follow the arrows, too. She's sure she knows who is up there and using the clouds as her personal advertising, so she keeps looking up as she trots along.

Except she can't really see over the clouds, so her best bet is just following the signs.

Have some mercy on an earth pony? :c]

[like_air_into_gold]

[Though his face might not convey it, Dr Manhattan does find this to be quite interesting. What could have produced a form of life that could move at such speeds? Very curious.]

[wannabolt]

[If by mercy you mean rocketing down at the sight of a familiar face? Suuuure. Dash has to make a good appearance, but she'd know that farm gal anywhere.

She comes to a complete stop, just a few yards from AJ, grinning widely.]

You're late, Applejack. That's so not like you.

[It's said in jest, more than anything. After being in Luceti for several months, it's good to see a familiar face.]

[wannabolt]

[Waaait, a second? Is that a... blue hue-man? Once she's done doing a few barrel rolls, she's gonna dive down to investigate!]

[like_air_into_gold]

[Yes it is... almost the same blue as you, little pegasus. He even appears to have a sort of cutie mark, though it's on his head instead of the usual spot.]

That was... impressive.

[honestapples]

[Yeah, that counts as mercy. But she's glad to see a familiar face too. The lack of ponies around here is a little unsettling.

Here, have a grin in answer, Rainbow Dash.]

Ah still got here in time for this show you're plannin', though.

[wannabolt]

Which means you get front row seats. Not a bad deal, huh?

[Besides, friends come before anything else. Dash is all about loyalty, after all.]

[wannabolt]

Yep. It's totally awesome! And I pull off sweet stunts like that all the time.

[Compliments... they fuel Rainbow Dash's inflated ego like nopony's business.]

[like_air_into_gold]

[Cool story brony, but this does fuel his interest in the phenomena of life. This creature is just a brightly colored pony with wings that should be too small to support its weight in the air. It makes no sense at all.]

Are there other members of your species here?

[honestapples]

Ah'd sure hope so. How's a pony s'posed ta cheer ya on from anywhere else?

[wannabolt]

Especially with all these people running around. This place is packed!

[wannabolt]

[She nods. Man, this guy sure knows how to get to the point, although he's talking as though he's never seen a pony.]

There's two other ponies hanging around. One of 'em's a unicorn named Rarity, and the other's Princess Luna. She's got wings like me, and a unicorn's horn.

[honestapples]

Sure is. What is this place, anyhow? Is it always this crowded?

[No point in asking 'where in Equestria', because it's pretty clear just from the citizens here that they're not in Kansas Ponyville anymore.]

[wannabolt]

Place is called Luceti, and it's usually not this bad. There's still a few hundred of us, but most of the time people show up gradually.

[Like in small groups every few months. Not to mention how people don't always stick around.]

[maretriarch]

[You've got an audience, Dash! A very important one, no less. Show the Princess what you've got!]

[honestapples]

Must be some kinda big event or somethin'.

[Key word in that: somethin'.]

[wannabolt]

[Is that Princess Celestia? Well, snap. Time to kick things into high gear!

She'll kick up her speed as she whirls around clouds, performs loops and dives, and 'drills' holes through some of the clouds by spinning incredibly fast.

Standard Dash maneuvers, really. She's been practicing!]

[wannabolt]

Maybe... Or whatever brings people here's going haywire and pulling tons of 'em in without the extra wings.

[She glances at her back for a moment. Man, it'd be nice to get rid of this extra set.]

[honestapples]

Ah've been wonderin' about those. [They must get in the way for an active pony like Rainbow Dash, to boot.] So whoever brings us here puts these wings on everypony?

[wannabolt]

[She nods. Yep, that's how it basically goes. Creepy scientists with a wing fixation or... something. She basically just skimmed the guide because it was too long for her liking.]

Yep, and the wings don't even do anything. They're too small to fly with, and they usually just get in the way.

[honestapples]

Now that's just downright weird.

[Who puts useless wings onto everything in sight?]

[like_air_into_gold]

Oh yes... Pegasus and unicorns, horse-like creatures from human myths.

[The idea that Adrian Veidt is behind this looks more and more likely.]

[maretriarch]

[Impressed, Celestia watches Dash go--before lifting into the air herself! She may not be as fast as Dash, but the Princess can definitely keep up with a Pegasus; it's her turn to show off some trick!

She soars up, up, up, before tossing her head--her tiara goes flying!

Hardly minding it, mane flowing freely behind, Celestia does a single loop (elegant, but lacking the tightness of Dash's), before tucking her wings and diving, sharply, towards the ground.

She pulls up just short of crashing, plummeting tiara upswept by the beating of her wings and landing neatly on her head.

Crossing her front legs, she looks up at Dash, still quite proud and regal but with an expression that says: 'not bad, huh?']

[shying]

[There's a bit of pink mane hiding in the bushes nearby, making it tremble. What do?]

[wannabolt]

[Approach it, of course! Dash'd recognize that pink mane anywhere.]

Fluttershy?
