Last night, beneath the ever-watching stars of Cloudsdale, the Wonderbolts Academy gathered to celebrate a rising light among their ranks: Celine Soaren, now officially promoted to Airpony Basic (APB). From the heartfelt words of friends to the sparkle of new uniform threads, every moment of the ceremony echoed with warmth, laughter, and admiration.
✨ A Milestone Worth Soaring For
The ceremony was opened by NSGT Lime Berry Filly, who reminded everypony of the importance of this milestone. “Going to APB is not a small feat,” he said proudly. “It requires dedication and hard work.” And Celine had shown both in abundance.
From there, the floor opened to fellow bolts, and the sky lit up with kind words.
💬 Friends Who Fly Beside You
NSGT Star Trail spoke from the heart:
“Celine is one of the sweetest friends I know… they ignite the air with kindness.”
SAP Princess Celestia called Celine “funny, silly, amazing, and awesome,” sharing her joy at the promotion of one of her closest friends in the Academy.
SAP Rainbow Dash, though tired from recent days, stepped forward with a moving tribute:
“She stayed. And I’m happy. And today, she reached the rank of APB.”
She concluded with a soft but powerful: “Love you. Altius Volantis. Your Dashie~”
And of course, APB Ender lit up the room with pure joy:
“You’re doing amazing! Keep being funny and amazing! Never forget to be yourself!”
🎁 A Gift for the Museum
In true WBA tradition, Celine placed her ceremonial item into the Academy Museum—a beautiful symbolic gesture of her new chapter. After a quick mishap with table placement, laughter ensued, and everypony cheered her creativity.
🎲 To the Depths with the Stage!
The traditional “Roll to Obliterate the Stage” ritual brought more laughs than lava, with high and low rolls alike. GüberSnack’s near-perfect 94 stole the show, while others rolled humbler numbers to keep the chaos grounded.
👃 Boops, Boops, and More Boops!
When asked who would perform the sacred booping ceremony, Celine didn’t hesitate:
“EVERYONE!”
With NSGT Lime Berry counting down, the sky erupted with a thunderous “BOOP” as Celine donned her shimmering flight uniform for the very first time. Picture time followed, with smiles, hugs, and a perfect memory etched into the air.
As the ceremony wrapped, one thing was clear: Celine Soaren has soared into her next chapter with heart, joy, and the love of everybolt by her side.
📸 Final Words from Skydrop
Promotion isn’t just about a patch on a uniform—it’s about the spark that gets you there. Celine reminded us that staying kind, staying strong, and staying true will always carry you higher.
Altius Volantis, Celine. Keep climbing.
