There stood spitfire, all decked out in her Wonderbolts uniform absolutely soaked. It looked like she had been through the ringer and back a thousand times.
“Oh, Rainbow Dash, I didn’t know this was your house, she said surprised.
“Well who else lives in a god- forsaken cloud!” Rainbow Dash basically yelled. She was mad that her sleep had been interrupted.
“I don’t know said spitfire sheepishly.”I was just flying through the area when this storm hit all of the sudden and soaked me to the bone"
"This storm started hours ago" replied an unbelieving rainbow dash
"Can I come inside" asked spitfire, looking up and smiling wide.
Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and sighed loud. “Oh all right" then she grumbled something about sleep under her breath and walked off leaving the door open for spitfire.
She had never been in rainbow's house before, not really every spending much time in Ponyville, she preferred the big cities to the smaller villages. She was impressed by the opulence that Rainbow Dash had put into her house. Great pillars here and there, and great windows for good views, and of course a giant spiraling staircase.
She quickly stepped out of her uniform and grabbed a brush out of her saddle bags, the suit and she would dry faster apart anyway she thought to herself.
She proceeded to run the brush through her mane quickly; she wanted to look her best for rainbow. She let one chunk of hair fall down and partly cover the right side of her face.
"Perfect" she said to herself, looking in a conveniently placed mirror.
"What was that?” came rainbows voice from another room in the house.
Oh nothing, just talking to myself" spitfire called out.
"Whatever".
Rainbow Dash appeared around the corner holding a platter with some snacks on it. It abruptly fell out of her mouth when she saw spitfire. It was all she could do to keep her wings from popping straight up in the air.
"Spitfire..." she said, gasping at the mare in front of her. Spitfire realized that she had hit rainbows sensitive side decided to play it up.
"What?" she questioned innocently.
"Y-y-your h-hair is..."
"don’t you like it?" she tilted her head a little to the right, revealing a bright yellow iris that look intently at Rainbow. That was it, it was all rainbow dash could take, her wings shot upward with an audible "Swisssshhhh" and remained there locked in place. Her face went blank, except the bright pink rising up under her eyes.
"Oh how cute, rainbow dash got wingboner at my cuteness" a hint of malice had crept into her voice.
Rainbow looked up in time to see spitfire crouch for the pounce. But it was to late. Before rainbow could act, she had been tackled by her most admired.
"unff. Get off me!" she yelled at spitfire through gritted teeth.
"If you’re not careful I will rip your wings from their sockets and prance around Ponyville with blue antlers on my head."
"You wouldn't" rainbow glared.
“Wanna bet?”Spitfire laughed, and then proceeded to bite down at the base of rainbow's left wing. Rainbow gasped as she felt pleasure course through her body, a type that she had never felt before. She tried to buck spitfire off, but to no avail. She was being held down to tightly.
Spitfire stopped biting and looked up, all malice gone out of her.
"What’s the matter rainbow? Do you want me to stop?"
"No" whispered rainbow
"What was that, i couldn't here you"
"NO"
"I still didn't catch that rainbow. You'll have to speak up"
"Spitfire, don't stop whatever the fuck you are doing right now" she whimpered as spitfire licked up the length of her secondary wings.
"Oh all right. If you insist." the malice crept back into her voice.
* * *
“Spitfire, that was epic!" said a tired Rainbow Dash.
"Glad you liked it, but that wasn’t the reason I came here today."
“What’s your reason?" Rainbow Dash lifted her head off Spitfire’s forelegs to look her in the face.
After their little romp in the entryway to rainbow's house, they had moved to her living room and snuggled up on one of her cloud couches. Rainbow had rested her tired head on Spitfire’s front legs and went to sleep. Spitfire followed soon after, and both had very sweet dreams. They woke up a little while later to the sound of nothing. The storm, it seemed had past, and now they were just sitting chit-chatting with each other.
"I came to ask a favor of you, if it’s not too much to ask"
"Lay it on me sister! I can take anything" she punctuated anything with a loud yawn
“I have heard tales from faraway lands that something is sweeping through Equestria. I went over to Twilight Sparkle's house to see if I could find any reference to this in the past but I could find nothing, nothing at all. Except one piece of information hiding in the back of a very old book that twilight had never even seen before. It said that many long years ago, this creature called the destroyer ripped through the entire planet, totally wiping out the indigenous population. It said they were called huma, but the lines were faded, that could only have been part of the name."
"So you’re telling me that the entire planet's just going to die. Poof, just like that?"
"Oh no, maybe. But it said that this destroyer could take on many forms. The last one it took on was the guise of war."
"I think we should check with Celestia before we go romping through the hills and fields of Equestria. I mean we don’t even know where to find this creature!"
"Good point, now you should get some more sleep while I chew over what to do.
"Whatever" again punctuated by a yawn.
Rainbow laid her head back down and promptly went back to snoring.
Spitfire looked at her new friend and smiled. It was a kind smile, and one that not many ponies had ever seen.
“Sleep tight my little Dashie"

An Interview With Luna
"But Celestia, what if it’s true?" asked Luna, a hint of fear in her voice.
"Nonsense Luna, you know we defeated it long ago, entombed it under the tallest mountain in a land long abandoned. It would take it millennia to escape fr..."
"But what if it has" interrupted Luna "anything could happen out there in the recesses of memory. Maybe that little spitfire mare was right in her assumption"
"She is but a youngling Luna, her great grandparent's grandparents would have forgotten about it"
"I still think we should allow her to go check it out."
"But we can't let Rainbow Dash go, she is the only thing holding the fabric of this place together. She needs her rest"
“And what exactly would happen if Dash missed a few days of work?" protested Luna
"You don't seem to understand Luna, rainbow dash has a certain magic that neither pegasi or unicorns have. Her magic is what holds all this down" she gestured with her wings at everything around her. "Only a few ponies are ever born with this gift. And Rainbow Dash has it. That is the reason she is always tired. If you send her away you'll only upset the balance of this place and it will fall into chaos.”
"But we can deal with chaos; remember how we used to live in constant fear under discord. I believe that we could manage
"Sister, let me tell you frank. You and I are only here because pegasi like
Rainbow Dash, without them the world would just cease to exist
altogether."
"Maybe she wasn’t blessed with this magic like her ancestors were. Maybe you have had the wrong ponies when you think of this. In reality it could be anyone."
"Go to bed sister, let me think on this tonight. We will talk again in the morning."
* * *
Rainbow dash jumped up with a start. The window had blown open with a loud "crack!" on the wall beside it.
"What was that!" she exclaimed.
What’s going on?!" cried spitfire, as she dashed into the room dash had been sleeping in.
"Oh nothing, the storm's back though."
Wonderful. Here let me help you with that" she yelled over the rush of air.
She helped ash secure the window, they walked away from the undamaged window pane feeling proud of themselves.
"Thank you" said rainbow dash. She looked over at spitfire and couldn’t help but smile when she noticed that her beautiful hair had gotten all messed up. She giggled a little.
"What" asked spitfire
“Ah nothin, just looks like you got back from helping the tornado crews round up a wild one" with that she broke out laughing, the most she had laughed in a very long time. Spitfire quickly dashed over to her and planted a deep smooch right on her mouth. Her eyes shot wide open and her cheeks started to flush.
Spitfire pulled away slowly, a strand of spit the only thing connecting them together. Rainbow dash moved in for the kill. She followed after the retreating form of spitfire. Intending to put an end to the hasty retreat.
She caught up and pushed her lips right up to hers, returning the favor she had received Rainbow Dash forced her way into her partners mouth, moving deliberately, making sure to feel every nook and cranny on the way in. Spitfire realized what was happening and fought back. She forced rainbow dash's tongue back and started probing around inside her mouth. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and looked at spitfire. Spitfire opened hers too. Dash glanced over at the window, making it seem like someone was there. Spitfire glanced over and received a full on tackle from rainbow dash.
The next morning Celestia woke up with a start. Her bedroom window had been flung wide by the wind."Oh deary me, another storm must be coming in”. She got up and closed the window, noting as she did, the different colored lightning bolts shooting from the undersides of some of the clouds.
She walked out of her room and down the long opulent hall that led to the throne room. Luna would be waiting to finish the conversation for sure.As soon as she opened the door, a large fast stream of words rang through her head all at once."Did you see the moon last night? Have you come to a conclusion on rainbow dash, isn't this storm just the strangest thing you have ever seen? Can I go out today?"
"Sister, sister. Calm down silly. No, I did not see the moon last night because I was sleeping, as you should have been also, yes I have come to a conclusion on rainbow dash, yes this storm is very strange, and no you may not go out today, it is too dangerous. Why did you ask about the moon last night?"
"Oh nothing, it was just rainbow colored all night!"
"I have to go out Luna, you stay here and behave yourself."
"Okey dokey lo... Oops... Umm... Okay be safe! By the way I think that you should go visit Fluttershy soon also, she may have some valuable information that you might be able to use.”
Celestia looked at her sister strangely. “You are acting very strangely indeed sister, is something the matter?
“No nothing at all sister. I do believe that you should be on your way to Rainbow Dash soon though” she looked at her sister condescendingly. “And maybe pick up a few treats from Sugercube Corner while you’re at it.”
“Sister, I don’t know what is wrong with you, but you had better fix it by the time I get back”
“Okie. Dokie.”
Celestia looked at her sister very strangely indeed, she had never acted like this before and it was really starting to creep Celestia out. Her personality seemed to change lately, it resembled that pink one’s… no wait it couldn’t be, she was to innocent to try to impersonate a princess, or was she?
With that she stepped out of the throne room and into the blustery wind to go and visit Rainbow Dash. The test that she had devised last night should really determine whether or not Dash had the special powers or not…
* * *
Rainbow Dash had once again fallen asleep on the couch, she did that a lot realized spitfire. That was okay with her though, it gave her a chance to find out more about her lover all on her own. Who knew what she would find in the house, it was massive and could hide many a secret from public view.
She walked out of the living room and into the expansive front hall. Two stairways led away from her, one going up and the other pointed downward. The downward staircase looked a little spooky and could have hidden some darker secrets. Spitfire decided not to go down that direction, it could be bad to find out to many dark secrets before they had been together for a while.
The stairway that led up on the other hand was lightly lit by skylights along the ceiling. It seemed as if the ceiling went on forever it was so lofty. The stairs were cushioned more so than the first floor had been, she came to the conclusion that this must be the direction to her living space. Opulence dripped from every inch of the stairwell as she climbed, sculptures hung from every banister and great works of art hung from the wall.
Spitfire giggled quietly to herself. This wasn’t Rainbow Dash at all. If her friends knew how much of a luxury life that she lived, well, they might just have to have a little laugh at her, it would be humiliating.
At the top of the stairs, the padding underfoot got even softer. The roof above was low, and less light seemed to get in up here than lower on the staircase. Two halls led away from each other at right angles. The corridor to the right contained only one door and was significantly shorter than the other hall. The second hall on the other hand had five doors lined up down the wall and one at the end. The one at the end had to be her personal sleeping quarters, spitfire thought to herself. She bypassed all the other doors and made a beeline for the last door.
It wasn’t locked so spitfire let herself in. the furnishings were simple, but looked very soft and elegant. A bed over to the left of the door, a small dresser to the right and a tall mirror on the back wall. Lying on the bed was a tangle of black leather straps that looked like it had been flung there in a hurry. She went over and nosed the leather, it was smooth, the edges had been sanded down to make a very slight curve in the edge, enough to hold something, but not to cut it through all the way.
“Ohhhhhh….. I get it now. He he. Boy is she in for a surprise now.”
