Rainbow's training

Chapter three: Rainbow's training.

The sun rose over Ponyville once again as evening became morning. Rainbow Dash was still snoozing in her home when sunlight began to enter her house. She sat up on her bed as she rubbed her eyes trying to get a perfect line of vision. She soon looked at her clock see it was 9:03 AM as her eyes went wide and said, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I'm going to be late with my training time with Conner." She quickly flue out of her bed as if she was in a race.

When she was ready to go find Conner, she flue off into the sky at almost full speed, and raced her way to where Conner was in the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash and her friends really didn't like the Everfree Forest for the ponies in Ponyville say that the plants grow, animals care for themselves, and the clouds move all on their own, but for some reason Conner didn't believe in all that because he has experience with nature when he was a young lad living with his people in their village. When Rainbow saw Conner down in the forest where a river flows quietly for about two miles into the forest as it empties into the river that makes the border between Ponyville and the Everfree Forest.

As Rainbow Dash landed, Conner asked her, "What took so long Rainbow Dash?"

"I over slept," Rainbow Dash replied, "Sorry about that."

"You're apology is excepted Rainbow Dash," Conner said, "Now, to start off with today's training, there are a few things that we must go over before we start the real training, alright?" Rainbow Dash just simply nodded. "Good, the basics are how to be patient, quiet, precise, and deadly. These help an assassin to be an effective warrior against an enemy like a Templar."

"No offence Conner, but I'm not the one for patient," Rainbow Dash said, "I always want to go ahead and find them."

"Then there is a way to blend in with the crowd and assassinate the target from within," Conner stated to the sky blue Pegasus pony.

"That seems like something of last resort right?" she asked curiously.

Conner sighed and said, "Yes, but we assassin's use it as a hit and run fashion."

Meanwhile at the Ponyville park:

Twilight was reading one of her on a bench while Rarity was sitting down on the bench next to Twilight as she was checking to see if she had the right fabrics she needed to help Conner make a new set of Assassin robes for Rainbow Dash, Spike was under a tree dozing in the shade, Fluttershy was with her pet bunny Angle, and Pinkie pie was just bouncing around, having fun. "I sure hope Rainbow Dash can make it through her training," Fluttershy said worriedly as she fed Angle a carrot.

"You worry too much dear," Rarity said, "If there's one thing we know, it's that Rainbow Dash can make it through the most toughest training that anypony can throw at her."

"Yeah, Rainbow Dash is the toughest Pegasus pony we know," Pinkie said excitedly as she continued to bounce around the park.

"I'm just think that Rainbow Dash might not be ready for something like what she is doing with Conner yet," Fluttershy continued, "Are you girls sure about this?"

"She seems to handle her own," Twilight said as she continued to read her book, "But this is a creature that has somehow came to our world, so I also have my doubts on what Rainbow Dash is doing."

"Oh come on Twilight, don't be such a stick in the mud," Pinkie said, "Conner seems like a nice human turned pony."

"I still don't know about him and his secret organization though," Twilight stated closing her book as she got up off the bench, "If Rainbow Dash does make it through this training that Conner has in store for her, than I'll believe him."

"That seems fair," Spike said with eyes still closed, "If I were you though."

Back with Conner and Rainbow Dash:

Rainbow was starting to get the hang of her training as she managed to cope with her environment, escape with quick thinking, blending in with a crowd (Used bushes for that sort of training), all the assassination techniques that Conner learned when he was training with his mentor Achilles, and close quarters combat which Conner learned when he was a boy. "I think we've learned enough for today Rainbow Dash," Conner said to her, "We must get back to Ponyville now."

"Are you sure Conner?" she said with a disappointed look on her face, "Because I was just having some fun with this training."

"Yes I'm sure," Conner replied, "We must get back to Ponyville before it gets dark."

"Fine," Rainbow said as she and Conner flue off into the sky towards Ponyville.

When they made it back, the sun was about to go down, and almost everypony was in their houses while the rest were still doing work. "I'll see you later Rainbow Dash," Conner said to Rainbow as he got up on top of a building, "I'm going to find a place to sleep."

"Alright then, Conner," Rainbow Dash called out to him, "I'll you later then." Conner then went off to who knows where as Rainbow Dash then went to find her friends. She flue to Sugar cube corners and opened the door to find the whole place was completely dark.

"Hello, anypony home?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Then the lights went on as Rainbow Dash's friends yelled out, "SURPRISE!"

Rainbow Dash jumped back in great surprise as she asked her friends, "What's all this, girls?"

"This is a surprise party for you silly," Pinkie Pie replied happily, "To welcome you back from you're training time with Conner."

"How was you're training Rainbow?" Applejack asked her friend.

"It was a little harsh at first, but I soon got the hang of it," Rainbow Dash replied happily as she turn to see Rarity next to a box and asked her, "What's in the Rarity?"

"I thought that if you're going to be an assassin, you'll need to wear the same robes he's wearing," Rarity replied giving the box to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash took the box, opened it, and pulled out an assassin's robes in pony form that was white like Conner's, but their was some sapphire blue on the robes. Like Conner's robes, this one has a hood, but this one also has sapphire blue on the front end of the hood, and on the back end of the robes was the assassin's insignia.

"Thanks Rarity, I love these robes," Rainbow Dash thanked her friend as she tried on her new robes.

"I knew you would love the robes," Rarity said smiling as they all started dancing during the night.
