Chapter 9: Rainbow's Childhood

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Remember, This is when Rainbow was a filly and it continues right after where the last filly story stopped. Enjoy

Rainbow woke up because of pain. She was laying on a cloud floor in a house, her uncles house.

"Good that you are awake crash." Her uncle spat. Her eyes started to tear up from her bully name. Rainbow Crash. She got it from an accident where she crashed into a wall and made a hole in it. Rainbow got teased because she where horrible at flying. Especially the acrobatics. She had a hard time turning and steering herself so she crashed alot. And the other fillys and colts took at advantage of that. They'd hit her, teased her and more.

"You sad because i called you crash? Get a hold of yourself and ill stop calling you crash. Start flying instead of crashing. Pack up your things, your room is the attic." He said walking out of the room, Rainbow stayed at the floor.

'5 Times... Ive cryed 5 times... Im getting worse then Fluttershy.' she thought for herself. She stood up and walked up to the attic. In the attic there where a old bed, a mirror and boxes. Tons of Boxes. She replaced the dusty old pillow that layed on the bed with her pillow. And did the same with the blanket. After she did that she took her flying goggles. The ones she got from her father, and put them under the pillow.

'Better at flying... I dont need to get better at flying... I'll show him that im great at flying. No.... Im *awesome** at flying.*

3 months later and she had got a routine. She woke up, brushed her teeth, got a shower and left for school. She didn't get any breakfast, so she always bought an apple on her way to school. Always the same apple. Sweet Apple Acres Red Delicious.

In school, she had gotten an attitdude.please tell me if i spelled wrong]

She where now known as the cocky one. She would brag as fast as she got the chance, and she didn't get scared of anything. Except her uncle, Lightspectrum. But he had started to be nice towards her. Nicer atleast. The best thing he had done so far was to take her to the announcment of Fillydelphia as host to the Equestria Games. She had been beaten alot after that though for screaming out 'No' in public. She still had a scar on her wing.

Every night she would go to bed at 9:45. Her uncle would fall asleep at 10:10 so she sneaked out to practice. And she had gotten alot better at flying. But this night. September 11th. Things would change...

"RAINBOW CRASH!" She heard her uncle scream out.

"Uh-oh..." she mumbled under her breath. She was outside, Practicing. She had just made another sonic rainboom. The second ever to be done. She had gotten her cutie mark from the first one but her uncle just saw it as a bullet target painted on her flank, so he usually beat her with a platform bat.   (Ponyfyed baseball?)

"Why are you outside? Its 12:36!" Her uncle spat. He was right behind the hoovering filly.

"Get inside crash." She hissed. His golden eyes looked like fire and hes facial expression wasn't the happiest.

"No." She said simply. She turned around and faced him. Her face was 10 centimeters from his.

"What did you say?" He asked again. Now pressing his forehead against the fillys.

"I said, No." She spat again. She stared into his eyes. The golden rings around the pupils where litterly on fire. She gulped because she knew what was coming. But she had a plan.

"Then we will do this the hard way." He said. He quickly flew around the filly and grabbed her right wing. Just as she suspected. She then took the opertunity and bucked him between his legs.

"Owpmhp!" He said under his breath. He lost his grip of her wing and fell down a meter or two but quickly regained his lift. But by now, Rainbow was flying as fast as she could, Unfortuneally, her uncle was hot on her tail. She zoomed between the ponies of Cloudsdale. She Zig-Zagged between buildings and fruit stands. But as fast as she looks over her shoulder, she saw that Lightspectrum was still there. She then had only one option that would demand alot of skill. Fly throught a crowd.

She spotted a crowd of tourists and zoomed into it. She zig-zagged between them. But she suddenly crashed into one pony. Cloudsdale is made for Pegasi. So the stores are just random cloud buildings floating in the sky. Withother words, the streets was air. She fell down faster and faster. She could see her uncle's rainbow trail up in Cloudsdale in the moonlight. Then she hit something, but it didn't hurt. She fell trought a tree. An Appletree. Cloudsdale move accross Equestria to bring weather to all the citys. If she remembered correctly, this week the city would be Ponyville.

"And thats my story of how i got to ponyville." Rainbow finished. Her eyes where still a little red from crying.

"Wow... I didn't know you had such a... Cruel childhood." Twilight said. She was hugging her freind, but the hug would quickly be ended as the cyan pegasus opened her wings and pushed the unicorn away.

"Thank you Twilight... I needed this talk..." she said as she stood in the open window.

"What are freinds for?" Twilight said back. Rainbow sighed.

"You are more then a freind Twilight.... You are like a sister." She said as she left.

Twilight stood up and wakked over to the window. She could see the Rainbow maned pegasus fly around over Sweet Apple Acres. Looking for Applejack.
