"Twilight, I need to remind you that what im about to tell you, Can't be heard by any other pair of ears. What im about to tell have to be sealed inside you." The blue pegasus looked into Twilights eyes.

"I Pinkie Promise." She awnsered. The lavender unicorn sat on the floor, Eager to hear what Rainbow was about to tell her.

"And you also must promise of not thinking anything diffrent of me." Rainbow said as her face was three centimeters from Twilights.

"My mind is set. I Pinkie Promise." She replied.

"I wont trust just that Twilight."

Twilight sighed as she backed away from Rainbow and stood up.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my Ey-OW!" Twilight accidently forgot to close the eye before putting her hoof there. Again.

"Really? You forget to close your eye before putting your hoof there? That is weird." Rainbow stated.

"Heheh... Sorry about that..." Twilight had her eye closed and blinked a few times, Making sure the Eye was allright.

"What you are about to tell me is going to follow me into my grave Rainbow. As Celestia as my Witness, I will never tell this secret to anypony."

Rainbow smiled at Twilight's statement. She let out a deep sigh before opening her mouth again.

"Good enough. Well... It happend after i started to settle in inside this small town..."

"Thanks Applejack!" The now teen Rainbow Dash said to the Orange farm pony.

"Aw, Chucks Rainbow... Ah'm only helpin' ya out a little bit. Nothing to be all amazed over." Applejack said as she used a lasso to get a Cloud down to the ground.

Rainbow Dash was in the middle of the process of building her cloud home. It was a pegasus tradition to collect clouds and build your own house as you moved out, But when Rainbow moved out as a Little Filly, She couldn't drag them. She would usually sleep in Applejacks trees, Or carved out the inside of a cloud and sleep there. But now, 6 Years later, Here she was. Building her own cloud mansion.

Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie had helped her. Pinkie Pie often spotted out clouds on the sky. Applejack got them with her lasso and reeled them in. And Fluttershy would help to shape the clouds. Rainbow would gladly accept their offers. She DID need help afterall.

"Rainbow, Is that another Rainbow Streak flying accross the sky?" Applejack asked. A rainbow trail after a blue lump zoomed accross the sky, But Rainbow was shaping one of the clouds.

"Who is thath?" Applejack asked again.

"Ehh... Applejack, I think i could use your barn as a hiding spot right now."

"Why?"

"Ok, Long story short: Lost relitive, Hes not very nice towards me."

"Okay then... Y'all better explain later Rainbow. Ah dont want to go around bein' confused like this." Applejack said to Rainbow. They rushed to Applejack's barn.

"Ok, Who is that guy? Lost Reletive? Shouldn't you go and greet him then?" Applejack asked the cyan pegasus.

"Its... Complicated."

"Ah'm all ears Sugarcube."

Just as Rainbow where going to start, The mysterious pegasus crashed through the Window and Into Rainbow.

"You... Little.... SHIT!" He said as he beat her in her face.

Applejack reacted quickly. She jumped into the stallions side.

"Rainbow! Get Big Macintosh!" She said as she fought with the much older stallion.

Rainbow raced out of the barn and into the fields, Looking for the red brother to Applejack. After a minute of Searching, She found him.

"Big... Mac... Applejack... In the barn... Uncle.... Fightning!" Was all that escaped her mouth before falling together into a pile on the ground from exaustion.

"Applejack, Barn and Fightning? Ah dont understand much bu' Ah'm on it." Big mac said as he Rushed towards the barn. After two minutes of heavy breathing, Rainbow got up on her feet and started walking back towards the barn. After a few seconds of walking, She started running. And after five seconds of running, She flew. She flew faster then she had ever done before. A cone was shaping infront of her but Rainbow slowed down before a third-ever Rainboom was created.

When she got to the barn, She could hear the muffled conversation from the inside.

"Who the hay are you!?"

"I am the Younger Brother of Rainbow's Father."

"Isn't that her Uncle?"

"Yes, Im her uncle."

"Then why is Rainbow scared of you?"

"I don't know. I guess she got some weird tale into her mind."

"Liar."

"Why would I lie?"

"Ah can see it on your eyes."

"Oh? My eyes are not a book workhorse."

"They might not be a book, But they Ah can still read them."

"Can you let me go workhorse?"

"Nnope."

Rainbow removed her ear from the Barn door. She sighed and walked into the barn.

"Rainbow Dash. How lovely to meet your Aquetience." Her uncle spat at her. It might have been a freindly sentence, But the way he spoke to her was anything but freindly.

"Why are you here?" Rainbow asked coldly.

"Why do you think? Im here to take you Home."

"The place you are speaking of is not my home. My home is here in Ponyville with my freinds."

"Well isn't that just so cute, You cheesy bastard." He spat.

Big mac hardened his grip off the Pegasus.

"Will you cut that out!?"

"Nnope."

"Applejack, Realese him."

"Are ya sure sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

"I'm Sure."

"You heard her Big Macintosh! Realese the sheep!"

As fast as Big Mac realesed the Pegasus, He jumped at Rainbow and pinned her down.

"You are just as stubborn as your Father. You will regret not listening to me in the first place, I will get rid off you. Eventually." He simply said before he took of and flyed away.

"Now what was that all 'bout?" Applejack asked the cyan pegasus.

"You should stay out of this Applejack... This road is in a Avalange zone and the boulders are big."

                 A week later

___________________________

It was finally done. Her mansion was floating in the air and Pinkie hold a party underneath. It was a- "CongratulationsToRainbowDashForFinishingHerHouse Party!" Pinkie screamed out.

"Uhh... Whatever you say Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said to Pinkie. The ones invited where; Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and ufcourse Rainbow Dash.

The party was great. They ate snacks, Talked, Danced and just spent time together.

When it was time for everyone to leave, Rainbow said goodbye to her freinds, But before they all left, Rarity gave Rainbow Dash a Carpet. It was green with a purple rectangle pattern.

And hour later when everyone had left, She layed in her bed. Thinking of that happend that day.

'It worked out allright... Im actually suprised that the carpet stays on the cloud... I bet she enchanted it or something. But... Why was Appleja-'

Her thought cut of as she heard a knocking at the front door.

"Now who the hay is knocking at someone's door in the middle of the night?" She said under hear breath. She carefully got out of her bed and walked to the front door. When she opened, terror entered her eye sight.

"Hello Rainbow Crash. Or should i call you Rainbow Flash after dissapearing for 6.5 years?" Lightspectrum spat. 'Cleaver...' She thought sarcasticly at his messed up mind.

"What are you doing here?"

"Im here to... Congratulate you. For being A TOTAL. MEANINGLESS. PIECE. OF. SHIT!" He spat as he attacked her and pinned her down.

"W-What do you want?" Rainbow, shocked from his attack asked.

"Nothing special... Just the feeling of your blood pouring out of your wounds when i hit you again." He raised his hoof and aimed for Rainbow Dash's Face but she avoided the hit. She threw him off her and bucked him in his belly, Sending him towards a wall.

"I am tired of you. After all these years, I thought i could get some peace, And forget about you. But you returned for no good reason. I hate you Lightspectrum. You killed my father, You killed my mother, YOU KILLED MY FAMILY! ALL OF THEM! My cousins... My aunt... My Gramps... And the only family i have left... Is you. A murderer, A killer, A psycopat. You have no purpose in life." She spat.

Lightspectrum watched Rainbow Dash in horror.

"W-What are you..."

"Bye... Uncle... I'll see you never again." With those final words, She bucked Lightspectrum in the head. Blood splashed everywhere. Lightspectrum was now gone. Rainbow started to cry.

'What have i done?' Her mind asked her. She quickly began to clean up. Being made of cloud, The house was easy to clean. She wrapped the carpet around Lightspectrum's body. The walls just sucked up the blood on them, The same with the floor. She took the body in the carpet and placed it on her back, She then flew towards the Everfree Forest. When she was in the middle of it, She dumped the body.

'What have i done... I killed him... I dont regret it, But i feel bad about it... Am i the killer?' Her mind was racing with thoughts. Regret, Murder, Hate, Sadness, Joy. Those words spun around her head.

A week went past. She had replaced the wall and the floor in her cloud home to make the blood go away completly. She tried to cover up the murder, but her freinds senced something wrong. Applejack had tried... Rarity... Fluttershy.. Pinkie Pie, No one had been avaible to squeeze even a tiny bit of information out of the mare. Years went past. And she grew up to an Adult. She built a barrier. A Façade.

And it was safe. The bunker never blew up. But at Easter... The same date as her Father and Mother had been lost, She would let it all out. She had met new freinds; Twilight, Scootaloo and more. She had used them as a helping tool. To build up the Façade even more. But there was something inside the bunker. A traitor In the system. It was the accident. 'Was it a misstake?', 'Was it right of me?', 'Am i a horrible pony?' Those questions would be asked from her mind to herself at many times. It all went smooth even though she was a big softie inside the bunker.

Then the bunker blew. The bomb who blew it up, was her Mother.

The pink pony that had left Rainbow's life 12 years ago.


"4 382 days. Then she finally returned. Four. Flippin'. Thousand. Days."

Rainbow ended the story. Twilight looked at Rainbow in horror, Disgust, Understanding, Sadness... Every bad emotion.

"I understand if you dont wanna know me anymore... Now that you know that im a Killer..." Rainbow looked up to face Twilight. The pony hadn't moved an inch. Not even a millimeter.

"I-I should go... Bye Twilight... Forever..." Rainbow said as she turned around and walked towards the Open window.

"No!"

Rainbow's heart skipped a beat. Her calls for help in her mind had been awnsered.

"Stay. Right. Here Rainbow." Twilight said emotion less. Rainbow turned around to look in her eyes. A spark.

"W-What are y-you going to do?" She asked.

"Nothing, Really. I wont tell anyone Rainbow. I wont think of you as a monster. I will keep all my Promises."

"T-Thanks Twilight..." Said the pegasus as she hugged Twilight

"What are F-... What are Sisters for."

Rainbow shed a tear at that sentence. 'My freind's are my family... And they always will be.'


"Soo... Shes in SugarCube Corner?" Rainbow asked as the stood outside the bakery.

"Yes Rainbow. Shes inside there. When you walk in, There is no Return." Twilight stood beside Rainbow Dash.

"Let's go then..." Rainbow Dash said that as she walked into the Bakery. She was immidiently greeted by a Pink Fur ball.

"HI DASHIE!" It screamed.

"Hello... Pinkie Pie..." Rainbow succedely said while being hugged to death by the crazy pony.

Twilight walked into the scene and chuckled.

"Pinkie cou-"

"She went out on a walk and Rainbow will get caught up with her at... The library." Pinkie cut Twilight off as she stopped hugging Rainbow.

"Ho- Wha- Huh?" Was all that came out of Twilight.

"Duh! The Library! Rainbow, If you run you can catch her by Rarity's Dress Shop! Or Boutiqe! Thats such a funny word! I love funny words! like Cherry Changa and Kumquat!"

"I'llgonowbye!" Rainbow said as she quickly speed away from the pink furl of party, And zoomed towards the pink furl of memories.


Firefly walked outside the Library. She paced herself and walked slowly, Watching the ponies around her. She suddenly became a Crash-Test dummy. She was underneath somepony. The fur was blue, It was a Pegasus and the Mane's color where...

Rainbow.

"Rainbow Dash!?" Firefly yelped out in suprise

Rainbow sighed.

"Yes... It is me..." She got up from Firefly and helped the old mare up back onto her hooves.

Firefly was shocked. She searched for an awnser in her daughters eyes with no avail. She finally figured out something. Rainbow was here to Talk.

"How about we go somewhere more Private?" Firefly said.

Rainbow nodded softly. They walked for ten minutes untill they reached the Hill where they had first had seen eachother for 12 years. They took a sat down and looked at the stars. They twinkled and shone.

Firefly looked Right, Towards her Daughter that had been gone for all those years. She had grown up. She had gotten her Cutie Mark. And she had missed it all. She now saw an opertunity to start a conversation.

"How did you get your Cutie Mark?"

Rainbow turned her head left and faced her mother.

"Oh... I was flying really fast and kinda made a Sonic Rainboom..." She looked back at the stars.

"A Sonic Rainboom? Thats... Amazing..." Firefly looked at her daughter in awe.

"Did you really do that?"

"Would i ever lie? I could do it again y'know." Rainbow smiled a bit, Still staring at the stars.

"Could you do one right now?" Firefly quickly asked.

"Well... Fine... I'll do the 6th ever Sonic Rainboom..." Rainbow took off.

'Maybe she's just cocky... Or maybe she is telling the truth... Here goes nothing.' Firefly thought for herself as she watched the rainbow streak zoom accross the sky

After a minute or two, A cone started to form around the pony who zoomed in the sky.

"What is this..." Firefly mumbled for herself. She sat up from the lying postision she had been in and locked her eyes at the pegasus in the skies. Suddenly, A large boom filled the air along with a circle of Color. It spread accross the Landscape but quickly faded away.

The cyan pegasus landed beside her mother who still stared at the skies above her, Waiting for something else to happen. She didn't notice then Rainbow Dash landed beside her again.

"Thats it. Thats how a Sonic Rainboom looks like." Rainbow said to Firefly.

"That was amazing." Was all that she could say. She looked to her right to see Rainbow sitting there again.

"Rainbow... Im sorry for leaving you..."

"Y-You have no idea of what Lightspectrum did to me...   What i did to him..." Rainbow said. Her eyes started to tear up.

Firefly hugged her daughter who was sobbing quietly. Her eyes let a few tears too as Rainbow cried into her shoulder. When Rainbow had calmed down, She whispered something that Firefly had a Hard time hearing.

"What was that? I didn't really catch that."

"I forgive you..."

"I allready know that Dashie... I allready know..."
