CHAPTER ONE: HERO AND EGO

It was another nice day and at the clubhouse of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Rainbow Dash Fan Club was hosting a meeting. Inside, the walls were covered with rainbow balloons and pictures and posters of the blue pegasus. The members were all fillies and foals, wearing shirts with the blue pegasus' face on the front, plus wigs made to look like her mane.

"Attention, everypony! Attention!" Scootaloo, who was wearing a rainbow wig over her own mane, called out over the chatting fillies, banging a hammer on the stand. "The official Rainbow Dash Fan Club will come to order. Let's get right down to our first order of business. I motion that Rainbow Dash be declared the most awesome pony in Ponyville."

"I second the motion," said Snails, waving a hoof, "and might I add that if you looked up the word 'awesome' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Rainbow Dash." He grinned as the fillies all agreed.

"I object!" said Snipes and the gathered fillies gasped. "I think the word 'awesome' is played out!" he continued. "Rainbow Dash deserves better! I motion that we declare her the most stupendous pony!"

Scootaloo stared at him skeptically. "'Stupendous'?" she repeated. "Is that the best you've got? I motion that we declare her…. Wonderiffic!" And soon she and Snipes were bickering over the best word to describe their idol.

"Astonishing!"

"Breathtaking!"

"Astounding!"

"Bedazzling!"

`"What about super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing?"` Rainbow Dash's voice suggested from outside the clubhouse, and the fillies all began agreeing.

Thrilled, Scootaloo banged her hammer. "All in favor of declaring Rainbow Dash the most 'super-ultra-extra-uh-whatever you said' pony in all of Ponyville, say 'aye'!" she ordered and the entire fan club shouted "Aye!" and they began cheering.


Outside the clubhouse, Rainbow Dash giggled, glad that she'd followed them to the meeting and stopped the arguing. 'It might not be a real word, but it works to describe me,' she thought as she flew off.


A few hours later, Rainbow Dash was flying through the clouds, doing what she called cloud swimming, and it was the perfect day to do it. "What a beautiful day," she sighed, swimming through the clouds on her back. "There's nothing like a dip in the clouds to make a Pegasus feel super relaxed."

`"Help! Help!"` a voice screamed from inside a well. `"Help! Help!"`

Rainbow Dash paused in her swimming when she heard the screams for help. "Looks like my sky swim will have to wait!" She then shot down, entering the well, and flew into the darkness. "I'm Rainbow Dash, and I'm here to rescue you!"


Having heard the screams and the blur that was blue pegasus, the ponies gathered around and when Rainbow Dash came flying out with Aura, who was dirty, on her back, they began cheering.

Landing and letting the filly slid off her back, the blue pegasus was surprised to see her friends and other ponies cheering her on. "Wow. What's with this crowd? Uh, thanks, everypony," she said, flushing. "It was really no big deal."

"To me it was!" Aura exclaimed, beaming up at her hero. "You're my hero, Rainbow Dash!" And the ponies kept cheering as Rainbow Dash smiled and flew off.

"That Rainbow Dash sure is something," Scootaloo complimented.

Snips and Snails both nodded in agreement, preferring the blue pegasus to Trixie, who nopony had seen since the incident with the Ursa Minor last year. "Something special."


The next day, Rainbow Dash was relaxing on the clouds when she heard screams and saw that a baby carriage was flying down a path with the mom giving chase. She flew after the carriage, putting on an extra burst of speed when she saw that it was heading for cliff, and she managed to clamp her teeth on the handle.

The blue pegasus dug in her hooves and, after skidding a lot, managed to stop the carriage just short of the cliff edge. She was wiping the sweat off her forehead when she heard cheering far below and saw that, once again, a group of ponies had gathered and they were cheering for her. She flushed, smiling until it faded when she looked at the baby.

"Oh no!" Rainbow Dash, picking up the baby. "There's something wrong with the baby!" And the crowd gasped. "She's not cheering for everypony's favorite hero, Rainbow Dash!" she announced, holding up the smiling baby and the ponies resumed cheering. She returned the baby to her mom, and when she saw that ponies were taking her picture, she began posing.

Scootaloo watched her hero dreamily. "There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe Rainbow Dash's awesomeness," she stated.

"I can think of a few new words," Twilight Sparkle muttered to her twin and their friends.

"So can I," Sunrise Blossom agreed.

"And I bet 'modest' is not one of them," Applejack added as they watched the blue pegasus fly around, creating her cutie mark in the sky before flying off to the cheers of the ponies.

Twilight Sparkle nodded. "No, but she is kinda awesome."


Later that same day, a number of elderly ponies were standing on a balcony and chattering when they heard the splintering wood right before it began to detach from the side of the building. Clinging to the railing, they began screaming for help, and ponies began gathering to see what they could do.

Also hearing the screams, Rainbow Dash flew up. "Never fear, your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here!" she announced before flying fast and caught the balcony when it fell, and the elderly ponies stopped screaming when they realized that they weren't in danger anymore. She carefully lowered it to the ground and turned to the ponies, who were cheering, taking in the cheers and compliments.

"We'd be lost without you!"

"You're our hero, Rainbow Dash!"

"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" the crowd chanted as the blue pegasus flew up above them.

Rainbow Dash grinned. "I can't hear you!" she called out.

"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" And as they chanted her name, she began doing a dance in the air.

Twilight Sparkle frowned up at her dancing friend. "Call me silly, but I think this whole hero thing might be going to Rainbow Dash's head."

"You may be right…silly," Pinkie Pie agreed.


The next day at Sugarcube Corner, Rainbow Dash was sharing her adventures with the fan club while Spike, who was dressed like a reporter, was writing down everything she was saying, and her friends were watching with annoyed expressions on their faces.

"And then I zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but I didn't let that stop me," she regaled while walking back and forth on a table top. "Danger's my middle name. Rainbow 'Danger' Dash. Thinking back on it, I acted pretty awesomely heroic that day."

"'That day'," said the baby dragon, writing it all down.

Applejack rolled her eyes. "Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely arrogant ever since," she grumbled and Sunrise Blossom, Pinkie Pie, who was eating a cupcake, and Twilight Sparkle nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash wrapped her forelegs around the shoulders of Applejack and Sunrise Blossom, startling them. "Hey, Applejack, Sunny," she said cheerfully. "How'd you both like to be immortalized as my friends?"

"Immorta-what?" the two ponies asked and blinked when a pony began taking their pictures with a camera. After about a minute of this, they struggled out of the grip of the blue pegasus and retreated while the fan club began taking turns having their picture taken with their hero.

Twilight Sparkle walked over to the baby dragon, who was still writing away on his pad. "Are you taking notes?" she asked, surprised.

"Yup!" Spike confirmed happily. "I've been hoof-picked by Rainbow Dash herself, to write her autobiography!"

"Umm, autobiographies are supposed to be written by the pony they are about," the purple unicorn pointed out.

Rainbow Dash scoffed when she heard this. "Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill ponies," she said lightly. "But I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. That's why I hired Spike as my ghost writer."

Pinkie Pie yelped when she heard this. "Spike's a ghost!" And she fled the shop.

"…Anyway," the blue pegasus continued. "Spike here writes down everything I say. Don't you, Spike?"

"Don't… you… Spike. Got it!" said the baby dragon, grinning.

Rainbow Dash nodded. "This way, I can stay focused on performing those acts of bravery that nopony else has the guts to perform," she explained, oblivious to how her friends were reacting to her bragging. "Yep, it takes guts. But it also takes brains. And sometimes a big lunch and a nap. Being a hero is surely not for everypony, but I'm up to the challenge."

Having had enough of the blue pegasus' bragging, Sunrise Blossom gestured to her sister and their friends, and they followed out of the shop.


Heading to the Apothecary, the group found Pinkie Pie hiding in a barrel, and they retrieved her before entering the shop to have a quick meeting.

"Ok, I think we can all agree that Dash's ego is getting too big," said the orange unicorn and they agreed. "So, any ideas as how to bring her back to reality?"

Twilight Sparkle pondered this and grinned when she got an idea. "I think I do…" And she shared her idea with them.

What are they planning and how will it affect their friendship with Rainbow Dash?


A/N: Bing a hero is one thing, but showing off and bragging can lead to trouble. R&R everyone!
