Cosmos fell back considerably far, her mane, which was normally wrapped around to form a tight bond, now loose and appearing thicker than normal. She sat up slowly, her eyeballs rolling around in their sockets for a few seconds before settling. She shook her head, flipping her ears and moving her appendages, hoping that everything was working alright. She was glad that nothing was gone.
"Uh, of course it is!" Cosmos replied to Dash's question upon hearing it. It took her a while to get the phrase sounding right in her head. "I mean, only YOU can make a Sonic Rainboom!" she continued, rambling on. She hoped that all this flattery was going to get a chance to make an offer to her.
In reality, the Cyclone Buster amazed her to the point where she couldn't choose what trick was better, considering she had no tricks of her own. She was too concerned with building on her research, though she could do some cool things when she reached zero gravity by means of launching or some other crazy contraption.

The force of the Cyclone Buster took Sky Rocket by surprise. In fact if he didn't react like he did and dig his hooves into the cloud he was standing on, he might have been blown off! After Tail wind's move was over Sky regained his footing, yet his mane and tail were now blown straight back instead of its usual spiky style.
"Heh...," Sky said to Tail Wind, "That was a pretty good move you got there. Now watch and see how an epic move is done!" He winked at Rainbow Dash, as a way to show how he was going to do something amazing!
Sky suddenly shot through the air and away from the pegesai in the cloud. He flew so far away that the pegesai could barely see him, especially because his white body looked like a cloud from far away. Once at respectable distance, turned away and faced towards where the cloud with the other pegesai were. He then began to fly, but not in a straight fashion. Instead he began to do a barrel roll as he flew, his fiery contrail spinning around his body, wrapping it in a cyllinder of fire. At last when he got to the exact moment, he then suddenly flew straight, his body still appearing like it was wrapped in flames. He then arced over the cloud where the pegesai were, forming a fiery semicircle overhead. He then dipped under the cloud and completed the circle, creating a ring of fire, and then stopping next to Tail Wind.
"And that, fillies and gentlecolts is what I call a Fire Comet with a Ring of Fire as a finisher!"

Tailwind smiled still finding his trick to be superior especially after seeing all their reactions, he simply chuckled and clopped his hooves in approval, "I guess that's why they call you sky rocket. Pretty cool buddy but certainly not a record breaker like the sonic Rainboom and it doesn't even hold a candle to my cyclone buster, maybe with a little more heat I might even break a sweat" tailwind was talking a big game. Normally he wasn't so cocky but seeing the shock on rainbow dash's face in that moment after the cyclone bister had been done made him feel invincible. It was a truly dangerous move, a smaller or weaker pegasai's wings would have snapped like twigs in such a fierce twister, possibly permanent grounding a winged pony for life.

((Hey guys, not sure if I want to stay in this thread because I'm confused on what to say. That, and I kinda screwed up the posting order. D:))

(Sorry about the post interruption. Shining, this is meant to be a fun post, so don't worry about what to say as you were doing fine! Also everypony confuses the post order at least once, so from now on we'll just go with what we have. So you will be after Tail Wind.)

Rainbow Dash watched, slightly worried, as the white pegasus drew his circle of fire around the cloud she was standing on.
Maybe these two aren't such beginners after all...
Now, obviously, she'd have to come up with a move of her own or her reputation as a stunt flyer would be ruined.
She was fairly confident she'd top the two, but there was always a slim chance of something going wrong.
She took a quick look back at the light blue mare next to her to see her reaction to the ring of fire, then hopped off the cloud into thin air.
She let gravity do its job, only slowly opening her wings to get ready for her part of the action. She could feel the all too familiar tingling of an adrenaline rush in her body as she approached the ground.
Once she felt she was fast enough, she bolted off sideways from her fall earthwards almost on the spot. Flying fast and low, she put some distance between her and the little cloud before propelling herself up into the sky.
Everything has to go as fast as possible from here on.
She darted above the cloud in a wide arc, leaving a rainbow colored contrail behind.
As she arrived at the altitude of the cloud on its other side, she turned 180 degrees, taking as much of her momentum as possible with her in the turn, and flew a second arc, parallel to the first one, across the sky before the first rainbow could dissipate.
She carried herself back to the small cloud and landed on it, completely out of breath.
"See? Double rainbow *huff*... all the way."
She said to the three other pegasi, intentionally not turning around to gawk at her masterpiece.
"Doesn't even mean anything *pant* to me. I do that everyday *huff* for warmup."
(ooc: I agree with Sky. No big deal, you were doing great.)

(OCC: Correct Shining. That's the order. I wouldn't worry about every pony's turn, just follow which one comes before you.)

Tailwind raised an eyebrow, he was hardly impressed with the move, it seemed more like an opener rather than a show stopper, needless to say it was still to fast of a move for Tailwind to pull off. Tailwind was almost insulted, even Sky Rocket's fire trail seemed more impressive. "Wow Dash I'm sorely disappointed, either you think we both are total amateurs and only your opener is worth our attention or your losing your edge. I almost cant believe your the best young flier in cloudsdale." Tailwind took offense in this, he had an almost celebrity worship of her and in turn built a real crush for her that practically consumed him, and she wouldnt even give it her best show when he gave it his.

Cosmos' face fell. It seemed as if a simple creation of two rainbows was enough to tire the famous Rainbow Dash herself. Someone who was heard to twice create a Sonic Rainboom, one of the most amazing tricks in pegasi history. Only she was fast enough to break the sound barrier and create a rainbow at the same time. But two pathetic rainbows wasn't impressive. It was the equivalent of her job as a weather pony, just making a bit of the weather happen.
It was with that that she had to think twice about whether or not she wanted the rainbow-maned pegasus to even join her. Even as a warmup trick, this wasn't very impressive for Rainbow Dash's own standards. Though really, that was kind of selfish, to turn her away just because she can't live up to the standards that everyone, including herself sat for her.
Needless to say, she just sat on the cloud and raised her hoofs to her mouth, taunting Rainbow Dash with "Show us a real trick, you feeble-winged pony!" Even with that jeer, she knew inside that it wasn't all anger released in that statement. She sprinkled it just fine with the sense of a challenge, maybe so that Dash could prove everyone wrong and blow them away.

Sky Rocket was actually impressed by Rainbow Dash's trick. Sure, it wasn't a Sonic Rainboom, but it was still cool, the same Rainbow Dash flair. It seemed that the other two ponies were expecting more of her than her Double Rainbow. In the sense Rainbow Dash through her fame of creating the Sonic Rainboom raised the bar so high that every pony expected something greater than that seemingly impossible move. Yet Sky felt compassion for Rainbow Dash as the pressure began to mount from the comments by the other ponies. In the end she was a pegasus just like Sky.
Finally Sky had a plan. "Come on, Rainbow Dash," he shouted trying to elevate his voice over the other two ponies, "These ponies think that you're not as good as they are. But I think you are great, and it's time to show them why other ponies look up to you! And I know from the stories I heard around Cloudsdale and Ponyville that Rainbow Dash never backs down from a challenge. So come on! Show me and show them what you can do. I believe that you can be awesome!"

In a fraction of a second, Rainbow Dash's self-confident smile turned into an annoyed frown.
She had just clearly demonstrated speed beyond any other pony's capabilities, yet nopony seemed even mildly impressed. And if there was one thing she didn't like, it was somepony criticizing her stunts.
Oh, she was going to show the three raw speed alright.
In one swift motion, she took off from the cloud and turned around.
"Don't blink now, you might miss it."
She said over her shoulder with a mischievous smile, then darted off.
This time, she would just fly in a straight line as fast as she could until she had either broken every speed record on Equestria or dropped out of the sky from exhaustion.
As she accelerated more and more, the clouds she passed turned into indistinct white blurs. She pushed herself even further and soon arrived at the speed where the force of the headwind pulled her face into a grimace and the air in front of her front hooves started to compress into an almost tangible mass.
The question was only; Would she get past this point again?

Tailwind's eyes widened to the size of saucers. A wide smile crept onto his face as he saw his hero and dream filly push herself to that same legendary status. Up until this point tailwind had only heard of the sonic rainboom but never witnessed one. Could this be the moment when he would see that magnificent stunt pulled off in person? Would his heroine mare truly do such an amazing stunt right here and right now? But even more concerning, would she even notice him for what he had done? Would she grant him respect and see him as a force to be reckoned with? Would Rainbow dash fulfill Tailwind's dream and offer to train with him so they could go for the wonderbolts together? His mind raced with fantasy as he watched history being made right in front of him.
