🎖️ Celebrating Ender’s Flight to AP1C
💫 A Ceremony for the Heart
Under the glowing canopy of the ceremonial garden, the Wonderbolts gathered once more to honor a flyer whose journey has touched every bolt present. The one we call Derpgon, DD, or simply Ender, stepped into a brighter spotlight today — promoted to Airpony First Class.
Captain Rainbow Dash opened the ceremony with pride, their voice full of emotion and a sparkle of mischief.
“Today’s we’re reunified for celebrating Ender, our derpgon, aka DD for intimacy, my most bigger fan and student ever heavy breathe.”
That breath? Felt across the entire Academy.
🎤 Voices of the Skies
From commanders to supporters, voices echoed one after another in tribute:
🌟 CMD Star Trail reflected on Ender’s playful chaos and warm presence:
“It’s always so fun when they chase me around trying to eat me or playfully tease me…”
🌟 CMD Lime Berry Filly declared:
“Ender has always been so active at the WBA and dedicated. Congratulations, Altius Volantis!”
🌟 SSGT Starlight encouraged others to follow Ender’s example:
“I hope you all will learn from ‘em and flight higher with us! Altius Volantis!”
🌟 SAP Valencia Melodium shared a deeply touching message:
“So the takeaway here is… always be unafraid to be yourself… who better a candidate than you?”
🌟 SAP Tulip r maven. DNC made everybolt laugh and tear up:
“Ever since Ender joined I’ve finally started making new friends and enjoying stuff again. They’re the best person I can think of if you need a hug on a bad day.”
And even visiting Twilight Sparkle joined the joy:
“I’m go letter Celestia soon ‘bout your amazing work! Soar high in the skies!!”
🌀 Ender’s Words and The Boop Ritual
Then came the voice we were all waiting for.
“Thank you all for coming, you’ve all been amazing support on my journey :>”
With humility and humor, Ender thanked everybolt — Gabby, Tulip, Deesh, Doge — for being the wings under theirs.
And then… chaos.
“It’s time for… DARKNESS. CHAOS. DESTRUCTIONNNNNN!”
—Captain Rainbow Dash
A demolition ritual began, everybolt rolling dice to destroy the ceremonial table. One unfortunate soul (cough Valencia) rolled a 1. Commander Lime took the win with a 76.
Then came the boop ritual. Ender chose their boopmates: Gabby, Doge, Tulip, and the Captain. On Star Trail’s countdown, the ritual commenced.
“Boop!”
It ended with cheers, laughter, and a big group photo under the arbor lights — where Ender stood proud in their AP1C patch.
✨ Skydrop’s Final Thoughts
Ender isn’t just a Wonderbolt. They’re a whirlwind of fun, kindness, banana jokes, and pure-hearted energy. From chasing ponies around the map to lifting spirits on the worst days, they’ve earned this promotion not just by attendance — but by heart.
If AP1C is a journey, Ender’s already flying with turbo.
We see you, Derpgon. And we’re proud.
Altius Volantis.
