ThunderFlash

Thunder meandered about, eager to start things. There were so many other ponies there, whether they were racers or spectators. It was so amazing, he had almost forgot how nervous he should probably be. Just as Thunder started to settle down, Rainbow Dash herself walked by. He almost squealed like a little filly at the sight of Ponyvilles fastest racer. She walked past, and he was left in a state of momentary shock. It was long enough to distract him from seeing somepony about to walk into him, and soon they both bumped into each other. It was enough to make his glasses fall from his face, to which the other pony quickly picked up for him. "Hey, it's no problem. Thanks!" Thunder took his glasses back and replaced them on his face. "Nice to meet'cha Val. I'm Thunderflash, but friends call me Thunder! Man, isn't this exciting!? I've been waiting for so long to take place in the Equestrian 500! I'm gonna win this, and then the Wonderbolts will want me to join them! Maybe I can even get the chance to say hi to Rainbow Dash too!" Poor Thunder continued to ramble on, unable to hold his eagerness. He was just so pumped, and his normal hyperactiveness was practically multiplied!

Thunder stayed relatively silent while they walked. He wasn't sure why he had accepted the offer to go, but he still felt oddly indebted to them. In his mind, one does not simply crash into somepony else and get away scot-free. Hopefully he would find a way to pay them back, but for now he left that thought to mingle in the back of his head. Before Thunder could inquire as to why they were heading to the Great Library, Flux had questioned him of his profession. Though he didn't mind the question, he wondered why it was important. Still, he answered anyway. "I'm a weather pony, usually stationed around here in Canterlot. I occasionally get sent to other places when they're short a few hooves." he said. "And yes, I've lived here in Canterlot for a good while. Most of my life, actually. I do know the area a bit more than the average pony." Thunder tried not to let a pridefulness show, but it hinted itself within his speech. Colton was remaining quiet, if not then very focused, on something else. "So why're you guys off to the Great Library, if don't me asking?" he asked, curious to know. If they didn't want to tell him, then he wouldn't mind, but it would have helped to know.

Thunderflash was practically bouncing off the walls, or atleast, more-so then he usually was. He was finally going to be participating in the Equestrian 500! A few tiny squeaks of laughter escaped him as he bounced towards the front gate. The Wonderbolts were supposed to be there, and today he was going to prove to them that he had the making for a member on their team. It made him a bit nervous, but that was soon flushed out with excitement. Even if he didn't win, at least it would be fun, right? "This is it! The big one! Alright Thunder, just keep your cool. Don't go all loony on them..." he murmerd to himself. The last thing he wanted was to be seen as some nutcase. He entered the gate, smiling widely as he walked up to a counter. After signing some waivers and getting a number, he placed said number on the side of his flank, opposite of the side his cutie mark was on. Thunder looked around, seeing a number of other ponies who had entered the race as well, along with some of the Wonderbolts! He surpressed the urge to walk up and start rambling, and instead began looking for the gate that'd take him to the starting line. After all, the race would be starting soon. "I'm totally gonna rock the competition! This is the moment I've waited my entire life for!" he said with a confident gleam in his eye.

I've only read two fanfics in my day, but perhaps will read more in the future. I tend to like the lighthearted and humorous ones the best. I don't know if I myself will ever write a fic, but ideas have sprouted here and there. My Little Dashie was mentioned already, and it's one that I've read. Highly recommended. On a Cross and Arrow: When Twilight gathers the other five for a trip to Manehattan, her teleportation spell goes wrong. Intead, they're taken to a whole new dimension where everypony, including themselve, are genderbent. They try to stay hidden, for fear of meddling in a universe they don't belong in, but they're naturally drawn to their copies. Lighthearted, funny, and episode-like (to me). There is shipping, usually amongst the genderbends and the originals. Perhaps not everyones cup of tea, but I'd reccomend giving it a try.

Derpy is best background pony. Or atleast in my opinion.

Update! Even threw in a video of what Blitz would sound like!

Thunder breathed a sigh of relief, glad to know that there weren't any hard feelings. He couldn't help but notice the difference between the two ponies; Flux sounding somewhat more intellctual in her speech, whilst Colton sounded a tad more laid-back. "Alright, if you're sure." he said, leaving it at that. Thunder was considering taking his leave, when Colton had asked him if he'd like to come with them to the Great Library. Colton's eyes darting in different directions made Thunder look around as well. Were they being chased or something? He decided to pay it no attention for now, and nodded. "Sure, why not? Right behind ya." he said. Thunder wondered why Colton seemed to be in a hurry, but perhaps it was just him overthinking things.

It's Lime's go right now, I believe. Flux has sort of made her presence known, so I'd think the two exchange a bit of words. Up to them though.

Thunder was still a bit worried for Colton's well-being, but decided to take his word for it. They seemed to be nice enough, or atleast understanding. He looked between the three; Sparks, Flux and Colton. He shuffled a bit awkwardly, finding the whole situation a tad bit strange. "I guess I outta stop napping on clouds then, shouldn't I? Ehehe..." he joked, though it was a nervous attempt. Thunder was still feeling bad for bumping into them in the first place though. "W-Well, if there's anything I can do to make up for it, I can try to help. It's the least I can do." he offered, smiling slightly.

Thuderflash nodded as Gladwin suggested they introduce themselves. "Got it. And don't worry, I'm new at this too. I'm here for the same reason you are, so we can relate on that matter." he added, hoping to ease the griffon's nerves. The last thing they needed was to be nervous themselves after all. They were supposed to be the rolemodels! Thunder took a step forward, clearing his throat to get the young students attention. "Alrighty! Welcome to Flight Camp everypony! We're gonna have lotsa fun, and we'll get those wings flapping and getting you off the ground in no time! My name is Thunderflash, one of your instructors..." he said loud and clear for the little ones to hear. Thunder left his sentence hanging for Gladwin to take over and introduce himself, as well as say anything he might want to say.

Thunder wasn't really sure how all this was going to go down, but he had an idea or two on how to give the other team a run for their money. His thought process was interrupted by another, who had a brownish coat with red tinted mane and tail. Thunder smiled as he approached, happy to meet somepony new. "Hey there! My name's Thunderflash. You as ready for this snow war as I am?" he said with a casual laugh. Thunder could already tell it was going to be a blast! "Anywho, my friends all call me Thunder for short, so you can too. What's your name?" he asked, eager to hear who the new pony was.

Thunder nodded, and followed after Storm. Just the thought of seeing Pinkie's reaction when they got there would be worth it. They'd have to play it off like they had no idea what happened, or atleast he was. "Just imagine the look on her face by now, eh? This is gonna be great!" he said with a surpressed chuckle.

I believe it would be Quick's turn, though anyone can jump in. We may need to find a replacement for IceStorm, since I've yet to hear back from her.

Above them, a certain pegasus pony was taking a snooze on a cloud. Of course, the stallion should have been moving the clouds. The pegasus, Thunderflash, had been curled up on the gray cloud. It almost looked as if he could have been part of the cloud itself, were it not for the yellow strip that traveled along his mane and tail. Thunder gave a few groans in his sleep, turning slightly as he inched closer to the edge of the makeshift bed. There was a mumble, something about the Wonderbolts, and another jerk to the side. This time, it was enough for him to slip over the edge, and begin a fast free-fall to the ground. Thunder woke up around halfway through his fall, crying out as he saw the ground speed towards him. An opening of his wings and a few flap managed to slow his fall, but still crash into the male of two ponies. The one he didn't crash into seemed to have a white coat with red hair. Thunder's head swayed a bit in the slight daze and shook slightly to regain a sense of awareness. He looked to the male pony that he had crashed into, looking slightly worried. "Woah, hey man, you alright? Geez, I seem to do that a lot lately..." he, mumbling the second part. Thunder looked from the unfortunate pony that acted as his cushion, and back to the female before getting up. He gave himself some distance between the two, since he might have already gotten on their bad side. "I didn't ruin your date or something did I? Ah horseapples..." he said, offering a hoof to the pony he had knocked down. "You alright? MY name's Thunderflash. I'm really sorry about that. Call me Thunder though, everypony else seems to." he said, hoping his friendlieness could score some points.

I want an episode that is pretty much the "On a Cross and Arrow" fic. Because that would just be amazing.

Thunder watched the students begin to file in, a few of them introducing themselves. He already knew their names thanks to the student list on his clipboard, but it helped him memorize who the names belonged to when they introduced themselves. They had Inkblot, Cloudius, and Hopesong so far, all of which seemed to be talking amongst themselves for now. Thunder would introduce himself in due time, but he found it more important that they make friends with each other for now. It was about that time that he heard a voice address him. Looking to the side, he saw a griffon. It was unexpected to see one, he had to admit. Thunder had never really met a griffon personally before. The other teacher introduced himself as Gladwin. Thunder smiled, nodding as he did so. "Good to meet you Gladwin. I'm Thunderflash! I guess we're working together to help the little ones fly then, eh?" he mused. A second quick glance at the clipboard said that everyone but a pony named Powdered Snow had arrived. Perhaps he or she would turn up soon. "You new at this too? This is my first time being an instructor." he said admittingly to Gladwin, watching the young ponies mingle with one another.

I win?

WOAH. That background is amazing! I love how it fits the others so well!

Wa-la! Fixed title.

Yeah, I didn't think it would be most other's cuppa tea. But it was a good fic...

No, it's actually got it's moments of funny, adorable, and toucing moments. As far as I know, not a single dark moment in it.

Basically, Twilight botch's a spell that sends the Mane 6 into another dimension where everypony has switched genders. That would be the short and simple version.

Even if it invloved a scenario nearly identical to 'A Cross and Arrow'?

I have no idea for an RP plot, which is odd, considering I usually have one or two floating around. Well...there is one...but I doubt anypony else would be interested.
