Description
A dreamer of greatness in the ranks of Pegasi? Not entirely unusual. One who holds a dream to accomplish something that would catapult herself into the ranks of legends? Still fairly standard amongst pegasi, especially the speedsters. Well, Fireball is well aware of this. Speed records have officially become old. Why, when her mom was still cruising the skies at mach speeds, there was supposedly pegasi that could go so fast they ruptured the space-time continuum. That isn't just fast, it's downright irresponsible. Why, if all pegasi were flitting around blasting the sound barriers to kingdom come and two just so happen to obliterate that precious reality threshold... and hit one another? What would happen to Equestria?! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO EVERYTHING?!?!

Fireball is having none of that. Speed barriers are no longer her dream, toss that idea. Burn it too. Fireball burns things. THEY ALL BURN. She'll take her pills later, there is sciencing to be done. Since pegasi have the potential interactional ability to overcome traditional physics through raw speed, what would happen if they just so happened to point "up" when doing it? Even better if one pegasus were to somehow maintain that speed for a long time. Well, Fireball likes that idea. In fact, she likes it so much, she has made it her dream. She'll be the first pony to fly straight up forever.

That can't be done? They said the same thing about sonic rainbooms!! Screw what ponies say can't be done! They keep telling her there's no air up there either. Well... ponies going faster than sound should have trouble breathing and they DON'T. Magical ponies make the laws of physics cry. It is decided. Fireball shall be the first pegasus to achieve spaceflight by herself. Ponies can't be bouncing around Equestria's atmosphere forever before things start to crumble like a cookie left in milk for too long. It is time to take that to space, and that is just where Fireball is going.

Of course she'll need to practice, to prepare. It does get cold up there, and just in case there really isn't enough air then some magical pockets of precious breathing-stuff would be a good idea. So, special scarves and booties for cold and magical air bubbles for breathing and she is set. SET FOR SPACE. Once she gets back, she'll be the talk of the town. Which town? All of them. She doesn't judge who lives where for what reason. That's their business. Maybe it is finally time for those pills.

*Wait at least thirty minutes for full effectiveness*

Well, setting aside a manic streak, Fireball is tenacious and straightforward in achieving fairly lofty goals. Coming from a long line of super-speedsters, she has taken it upon herself to push that envelope one step further. With the proper equipment, planning, and healthy amount of luck she believes she can truly go where no pony has gone before. Well, except for Princess Luna. Then again... Hmmm, how far away is the moon? And how many Lilac Sandwiches would be required to get PAST that point?

Uh oh... Fireball may have to go back to the drawing board on this particular goal. Then again, she has achieved every goal she has set before, and this one is no different. A little magical help, and an ungodly amount of speed can get a determined pegasus anywhere. Once she does this, and comes BACK... well maybe, just maybe, her own plans can finally be realized. Wonderbolts... SPACE DIVISION! And once she has established that, she can finally stand beside her long-time favorite Wonderbolt and idol, and finally get her autograph!

Wait back up... so the crazy red and blue pegasus wants to use magic and, checking notes for clarity, flower sandwiches to fly PAST the moon and come back so she can establish a new military division for venturing into space to get herself close enough to a member of the Wonderbolts. All of this for the sake of getting a single name scratched on a piece of paper...

Who? Who in the name of Tartarus would be a source of motivation this discombobulating?

"Who else?"

Fireball, ladies and gentlemen. Because... well... just because.
