@Leaf Shade: Firstly, it's Dash's haters who say that, not her fans. Secondly, way to miss the point of the episode. The whole point of the episode was that the six ponies were destined to be friends one day, and that they were chosen as the holders of the Elements of Harmony from the begining. If you look at how each pony got her Cutie Mark, you will see that all of them got them doing things that matched what her future element was going to be. It was the EoH that really gave them their cutie marks. All Dash did was make sure it happened at the same time, by doing something that every pegasus can do - she never "caused" anything, she was given her cutie mark a long with the others, but the elements used her to make sure the others got their's at the same time because they needed to be chosen at the same time - there was no other way for it to work. The EoH needed something that would be seen by the others, and a Sonic Rainboom is a good example. The other pegasus, Fluttershy, can't fly as good yet, so she couldn't have done one, it had to be Dash for that reason only. However, even she played a part in the plan as well, as the only reason Dash was even the race was because she wanted to stand up for her (very loyal of her; hint-hint) so the ponies were going to get their cutie marks together, before the Sonic Rainboom was going to happen, it was set in stone.

Please read this, and please to not make any "cool story" style coments. I know I typed a lot because I needed to explain this in full.
