Ponyville 2.0

Ponyville, a town that was destroyed by a storm, the people were desperate and becoming ill from poverty the lack of food and decent water supply made it almost collapse. The times were rough and ponies fled the once happy and joyous town. The storm took out most of the town with fires and wind gusts. It was a nightmare and yet one no one was able to wake up from. The terrible day was the cause of the destruction of a once great town. Usually after something tragic or grim were to occur in Ponyville Pinkie Pie, the premier party pony, Would cheer everyone up with a ridiculous party or random song. During the time of the storm though Pinkie Pie was in an insane asylum. So after such a horrific event, there was no one to make the town smile through the loss. The farms all suffered losses in crops and property, the fires scorched the barns and claimed the life of Granny Smith.

Sweet Apple Acres had been abandoned after the matriarch died and the family suffered losses of funds with no money to repair their farm, it was left in complete disarray. The Apple clan had moved away from Ponyville which meant less food for the townsfolk and no more delicious ripe apples to combat the doctor visits. The founding family of the town gone and their hard work wiped out by fate, it was truly saddening.

The fashionista and town drama queen, Rarity, was also a victim of the storm, though she didn't suffer any long term injuries she lost a cat and her business/home all in one sickening blow. The store fell apart and the materials all ruined. She was considered a hero in her time because of her generosity ponies were able to live and trade in gems for food and other goods. Combined with Celestia's personal relief care package to the town it was able to help the town for a while.

Twilight Sparkle had not been in her library and neither had her pet Dragon. The library itself suffered minor damage and the books as well, some were tarnished and others were tossed around by the storm but nothing major happened it seemed the fires didn't reach that point with the Weather team desperately trying to put a stop to the rampant storm.

Fluttershy's cottage was empty of any living thing prior to the storm which was a good thing because the timid mare would have probably stayed and cried as the storm destroyed her home and her animals, she wasn't one for abandoning her little critters. Whatever fate had kept her away bless it because her home was barely soot as the tree-shaped home burned down.

Rainbow Dash was too busy being a world class super star to even have known about the disaster. Had she been there the problem would have been minor and the damages nil. No lives would have been loss and no ponies would have had to suffer. The would be hero was the greatest weather pony bar none and before she became a hot shot celebrity she was dedicated to maintaining beyond perfect weather and absolute safety of Ponyville. The town celebrated her ascension into the Wonderbolts unknowingly celebrating their own doom. The irony of the fact was everyone besides those who knew how hard she actually worked thought of her as a mischievous, lazy, reckless dare devil living in the moment. What they failed to realize is that with the delicacy of weather Rainbow Dash was an absolute master of maintaining and handling it. She had her work schedules always ready so when she 'attacked' the day it was absolutely the right mood for it. She had the weather planned out and which ponies to send where. Any spots she couldn't handle were left to the other ponies which left barely any work for the other pegasi but they didn't complain because free bits is free bits.

The town looked to the sky that day for their savior but nowhere could she be found. The only pony who showed as much bravery as the Wonderbolt Super Star, was her protege Scootaloo. That little filly risked her life helping ponies escape their homes and guiding people to safety. Armed with only a scooter and her wits she managed to save lives but with no homes to shelter her she was forced to leave and return to an orphanage. It was heartbreaking but that was life around Ponyville around that time. Nothing was looking up for the citizens of the once great and joyous place.

Despair struck the poor town that day and continued to follow it. Soon Ponies were moving out or trying to make the best of what was left. Then one day as if by miracle a familiar face returned. Rainbow Dash had showed up just as the desperation of the town grew to where ponies were at each other's throats for hayfries. The town had reserves about her arrival. They all wanted her to answer for the lack of care she showed when that tragedy hit months ago. She didn't even seem to care about the state of the town as she arrived she just asked for attention.

With a town listening in on her command she was able to relay a message that sparked hope into the townsfolk. She generously chose to donate as much bits as needed to get the town back to it's former glory and bring back some of the business and ponies they all loved and missed. It was too good to be true but reality hit when she signed away the documents declaring her donation. The town was happy but they wanted to see what would happen next, she just jolted out of the crowd after talking to a marshmallow pony that fainted at her words. No one bothered to check if the drama queen was alright because that is how she usually reacts to any news.

____________________________________________________________

That was a week ago when the Cyan mare promised to donate the money and now the town was being worked on as Princess Twilight planned out the work flow with checklists and sheets of papers labeled with all kinds of information. She was in her element. Applejack helped with some minor things being pregnant and having a friend who cared made it hard for her to have people allow her to do any labor. "Darn it Applejack what did I tell you?" a flying cyan Pegasus wearing a construction hat asked when she approached the farm pony. " I said no manual labor till your foal pops out I don't want anything happening to it." She scolded earning her a scoff. The farm pony wasn't a stranger to this attitude it seemed ever since the rainbow maned pegasus found out about her being with foal it was nothing but over worrying and prohibitions.

"I know ya mean well an all but ya have ta relax sugarcube I ain't an invalid jus' yet." She said while trying to get back to helping the towns people. They hired some workers from out of town but being in Ponyville you learn that when a town has a crisis usually ponies come together and help out as much as they can. Rainbow Dash just flew off and continued looking for things to do. She was making sure things were going according to plan. She has footed the bill for the entire rebuild of the town and wanted to make sure her money was well spent. The hit to her main account was huge but she wanted to give back to Ponyville anyways. She had an entire reserve account for 'rainy day's as she called it with money she usually spent on useless and frivolous things. She didn't enjoy being rich as much as other ponies would. She found she wasn't the type of pony with a want for anything other than flying and being in the Wonderbolts. She was always flying so that kept her in a good mood, and she was already a Wonderbolt. Now she had a family to support but the cost of maintaining a family wasn't nearly putting a dent in her account. Stupid money why do they keep putting more in my bank when I don't even need it. I mean I donated to the orphanage which helped in gaining my daughter Scootaloo, well technically she is Fluttershy's daughter till we get married but still my daughter damn it. I donated to the sanatorium to apologize for breaking Pinkie out. I have even took a large bag of bits and tossed it randomly... Why do celebrity's get so much of it when they don't have time to even enjoy it. It's so frustrating. Then my friends are so scared to ask me for things because they think I will feel used. Buck that I don't need the bits I just need enough to keep my family going and other stuffs.

Rarity tried helping using her magic to guide things into position but of course she had to wear something fashionable even if she was going to get dirty... I hate getting dirty... I will need to rewash my coat again. Why must I have to work it's so uncouth. She was enjoying the eye candy as muscular stallions of all kinds were working around the clock. She casually flirted with some of them but they weren't focused on mares. They were focused on getting the job done. They had a dead line with a hefty bonus if they met it.

Rainbow didn't care about costs she wanted Ponyville built fast so she can stop worrying about her family's living situation... Family... I love that word I mean Flutters and Scoots. I can't wait to get married. Oh my gosh I can't believe I just thought that. I am turning soft... oh well I like soft if it means I get free massages from Fluttershy and ... other favors. She was zipping from parts of the town to another all in an effort to over see and report back to Twilight. "So with all this going on as is how much longer do you think till Everything is back to normal or as normal as it can get?" She said wanting a good answer. She has been helping keeping the clouds clear and helping the construction workers. Mean while she has been training for an upcoming performance in Cloudsdale needless to say she has been overworked and Fluttershy's massages can only do so much.

Twilight did some calculations in her head and followed by using a quill to jot down things and suddenly she went into full on Egg Head mode. " Well given the current rate of work and the hours that all the ponies are putting in to help this town I would estimate the date of completion would be in two days, unless someone was to get injured or an accident were to occur." She beamed her pearly white teeth showing. "So in two days we can all have a 'Ponyville is fixed and we all are friends again yay' party that Pinkie is no doubt going to throw." She said with a minor chuckle.

Rainbow Dash wasn't sure about Pinkie, lately she has been randomly stalker-like and usually that wouldn't bother Rainbow Dash but since she rescued Pinkie from an asylum she has been extra careful around her. It wasn't that Pinkie went a little crazy that got her worried it was the content of the crazy that bothered her. I don't want to die at the hands of Pinkie Pie even in some twisted fantasy. That would be so lame. Rainbow Dash was going to Pinkie's first therapy session, not inside the room during the time but just in the waiting room to show support. It was another thing that was causing her stress. Her schedule was either work, work, work, or friends, friends, friends, barely leaving her any time for Fluttertime. Fluttertime is my kind of time.. heh. Fluttertime is a new term coined by Rainbow that basically means time spend with fluttershy either alone or with scootaloo. They went on walks together and had picnics like a family. Usually Rainbow Dash would try to get Scootaloo to start working her wings or they would spend time telling stories. Most of it exaggerated but then again one can never tell.

As the day was drawing to a close Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell were helping Pinkie Pie and some other ponies pass out food to the tired workers. Pinkie Pie was her usually bouncy self and was back to making other ponies smile. She was secretly still in need of therapy but she was going to be able to handle it. Dashie is around and I am so happy... she is going to get married and stay here and not disappear and stop talking to us. Everything will be alright.... I hope. Dashie looks stressed maybe it's because everyone needs her attention now. I need to get better so I can't be a pain to her.

Fluttershy was helping out with the food since she wasn't a strong pony she was less suited for working her flank off like her soon to be wife. " Ok every pony let's get your tummy's all filled. " She had a motherly tone and lots of people enjoyed it. Unfortunately for them any lingering looks would earn them some glares from Rainbow Dash. "Oh Dash you need to stop being silly. You know no one can compare to you. Stop being such a jealous head." She said softly and kisses her cheek. Rainbow Dash blushed and smiled with a goofy grin. Some of the ponies in the crowd Awww'ed at the moment while there were some ponies who weren't comfortable with a mare on mare relationship. They usually kept to themselves since Ponyville wasn't a town of hate it was a town of kindness and acceptance. Plus the ponies in question were the ones responsible for all the good fortunate lately. Fluttershy has been helping with the cooking spending all her time helping feed the ponies while Rainbow Dash supplies the bits for the ingredients.

As dinner finished and all the ponies went to the tents that were set up all over the park. The families and extended families all gathered up in their respective groups. Twilight and the rest of the mane six had their own corner of the park for just themselves. Rarity was first to speak up. "I want to shower I smell bad." She whined with her usual dramatic whiny tone. "Stop yer hollerin' already ya think anyone here feelin' all sorts of pretty right now?" She asked annoyed. Rarity decided to juice up the conversation as she usually would. "Well I think Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are all clean from their constant 'grooming' of each other, why can't any pony groom me?" she said with a mock desire to be cleaned by another pony's tongue. Fluttershy "eeped" from embarrassment and blushed furiously. Rainbow Dash chuckled and nuzzled Fluttershy not afraid to be emotional or sappy in front of her friends anymore. " I can groom you if you want rarity." Spike said with a wiggle of his eye brows. Everyone laughed except Twilight who looked upset "Spike that is gross." She made a weird face picturing her baby dragon licking her friend. " Awww spike wikey, if you only knew what you were offering but it's ok you are just a cutesy wutesy baby dragon." She said playing with his face. "Stop that... I am not a baby.. " he huffed with his cheeks flushed. " Oh spike your cheeks are so red it is most becoming of you... odd I felt like I said that already before." She was unsure of why those words rang through her head but tossed the thought aside since it wasn't gossip or juicy details.

The Cutie Mark crusaders shared their own tent together to give Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy some privacy on these nights. Scootaloo wanted to spend more time with her soon to be legal family. She was already Fluttershy's legal daughter after she was able to sign all the forms. Rainbow Dash would have to wait to be her other mother when marriage came because of the stupid ponies running the orphanage. Scootaloo was upset but at the same time enjoyed her family none the less. It just embarrassed her how gentle Fluttershy would be with her. She wanted to be more like Dash tough and cool. But Fluttershy would always be so soft around her it made her feel sappy. The school was being rebuilt faster than the other buildings since school was going to start back up. She couldn't wait to be finally picked up from school by a loving mother and have conversations about her school life with ponies who cared for her. She was excited about being back in town with her friends more though. She missed her friends badly. The first day they reunited was a happy day. They all hugged each other and Sweetie bell and Applebloom cried. I didn't cry though I just had liquid pride, as Rainbow Dash explained, down my eyes. No tears for the tough girl.

The night settled down and soon ponies were asleep with the thoughts of the next day. Well most ponies were asleep. Two pegasi were awake and sneaking off to find some uninhabited area to have a bit of fun. They didn't care if they had to bathe in rivers until the town was fixed no amount of dirt or grim would make the other not want to spend some passionate pegasi play time together. They wouldn't spend too much time actually on the act itself most of it was constant snuggle and cuddle time. They were catching up on missed time.

They would nibble on each other's ear and gently tackle each other to the ground. It wasn't exactly sexual but it was their time. They had passionate love making sessions when they could sneak one. But life wasn't about sex and they had their own rituals. Rainbow Dash would tickle Fluttershy with her wings before capturing her lips in a heated kiss. Their tails would intertwine as they basked in the moonlight over head. They would whisper sweet nothings and just roll around on the grassy floor. They had no need to rush, they had all the time in the world for that. They just wanted to love one another and keep the spirit of friendship burning through the night. After an hour of pegasi play time they went back to their tent smelling like one another. It wasn't musky as they weren't drenched in liquids. they occasionally groomed each other with their tongues and Fluttershy would brush Rainbow's mane and coat and in turn Rainbow would do the same to the canary mare. It was like two souls that combined into one and split into two bodies. They were happy and complete.

____________________________________________________________

Just like twilight predicted the job was finished in the allotted time. This meant the bonuses were hefty. Rainbow Dash went to check her bank account and rushed back with an excited grin. "Twilight, Twilight guess what... I finally hit 50,000 bits. Take that celebrity money right in the flank." She said while cheering. She felt like a champion breaking down her wealth. She wanted normality and this was helping. Not being rich would help her feel like working was worth it. Just then she saw Twilight with a confused expression ask. "Are you serious? You are trying to make yourself broke?" She was confused as if she was seeing Pinkie Pie solving Logic Algorithms or something. "I can't believe you spent all this money in a vain attempt to spend all your riches. You do know that you are star with a best selling book, and residuals, royalties and your upcoming show will put a kibosh on your plans right?" She asked as if she was speaking to a sane pony forgetting that Rainbow Dash and thinking weren't on the same page.

Rainbow Dash just grunted before yelling "Oh come on... Your telling me no matter what I will have money just waiting to be spent?" She was hoping that Twilight of all ponies would be able to find some rational end to the income. "So no matter what I do I won't go broke if I stop working huh?" She asked with a tone of defeat.

Twilight rubbed her head confused as to why anyone wanted to suffer. "Rainbow why can't you just save your money up if you don't need it then wait till your kids are old enough and let them inherit it. You don't have to be normal just to feel alright with yourself. You have done so much for the town and other ponies. Enjoy your wealth, make the wedding fancier or spend money on Fluttershy get her a nice gift or something. I don't understand why you have to punish yourself." She was growing upset at her friend's reckless behavior with the bits that are needed. Celebrities don't stay famous forever Dash enjoy the money while you can.

Rainbow Dash couldn't explain the guilt. Her money was made by stepping on her friends' back in her opinion. She had to abandoned her best friends for this money. It was blood money as far as she was concerned Ponyville had to suffer, her friends did. Granny smith died... even if she was old and her health wasn't as it used to be that fire wouldn't have happened had Rainbow Dash not been a drugged up slut of a star... "You are right Twilight I should just save it... thanks I don;t know what I was thinking. Anyways my show is coming up you think you can use the Cloud Walker spell on the girls so they can come watch me perform? I got you all good seats this time beyond VIP. I have you in the Wonderbolts personal booth we use to watch other events. I tell you the service when in that booth is fantastic."

"Sure Rainbow Dash, anyways what are you going to be doing this next show?" She questioned but continued talking "I mean You have done the Sonic Rainboom, The Tornado Rainboom, The prismatic fire works, The tri split wonder train.. which I don't understand the naming , but still you seem to come up with all these new tricks and 'dances'." She said chuckling.

Rainbow Dash just shrugged her shoulders "I so far we have the basics set down and I will be starting with a Sonic Rainboom before Spitfire and Mistyfly come in. Soarin is dealing with some family stuff so he is out this show. Mistyfly is playing catch up with the awesomeness of me and Spitfire. I secretly wish... that, " She looked around and made sure the coast was clear, "I wish that Fluttershy could fly with me as a Wonderbolt." She said picturing it in her head they would fly softly together and then soar in the air and they would grab each other midway and soar down together creating a Sonic Flutterboom. All the colors of the rainbow plus a soft pink trail would appear and they would be together doing it.

Twilight just chuckled "You sure have some weird thoughts. I just hope you aren't thinking of leaving Fluttershy for a Wonderbolt to do that stupid kind of stuff." She said admonishing and hoping Rainbow would get offended at the thought. While they had a passionate display at the castle it wasn't something that was set in stone. Ever since that day Flash Sentry stopped following Twilight like a love sick puppy. Celestia on the other hand has been writing more to her. She enjoyed writing letters to the princess and visiting. Lately she had been busy with this town project and hasn't had much time to visit her. Still Flash doesn't like Rainbow Dash at all. He still is her royal guard and she figures maybe Rainbow Dash will learn to respect him for Twilight's sake.

Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight ready to punch her for even suggesting that . "Are you stupid? I wouldn't give up Shy for anything. Even if it meant saving all Equestria. I love Fluttershy with each molecule in my body. Never even suggest something stupid like that again Twi. You crossing lines I don't want crossed. You can make fun of me all you want because I sometimes walk into jokes but no one, and I mean no one suggests anything bad about Shy. She is my everything. I went through hell and back for her and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. " She said with her chest puffed out and wings flaring as if threatening the lavender mare.

Twilight smiled "That is just what I was expecting you to say. I am glad you two are happy. Now if we are done here I am sure we have a party to go to tonight. I know who you will be bringing but I don't know who I should invite. I mean I could invite Celestia since I am a princess so it won't be awkward for her to show up. On the other hand I haven't seen much of Flash and I think he feels unwanted."

"Seriously Twi? You are even considering inviting that mare of a stallion. He tried to arrest me because I knocked him out when he got in my way. A little whiner like that when we already have Rarity coming is just asking for trouble. Plus Celestia is awesome, so I would go with her but honestly it's not up to me. So choose who you want I am going to finally take a nice shower... or a nice bath if my mare is up for it." She said with a smooth tone indicating bathing wouldn't be the only thing that would be happening .

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was putting the final touches to the grand party. Though she was uneasy about the party. After all last big party she through it caused Rainbow Dash to disappear till a month after and she then went to a Night club and got left behind with a drunk Applejack... This party needed more hard cider. Drunk Ap-... oh yeah she is pregnant... damn it Pinkie I guess you will be the drunk Applejack of the evening. She had the banner set up. The food was ready the lights all on the space was huge enough. The new Sugar Cube Corner was amazing the bakery was at least two times bigger so more parties could be hosted and the appliances were all top notch. Rainbow Dash really went all out with the budget she had a stupid goal in her mind and it payed off literally. Everything look shiny and new. The big space accommodated more ponies and the new DJ set up was top of the line. Pinkie invited someone that Rainbow Dash hasn't seen in months and unknowingly was going to set off a storm at her party.

Because in one corner it is going to be Vintavia and in the other corner FlutterDash. Two couples with a couple of problems. But again relationships are never easy and neither is partying mixing the two is a disaster waiting to happen. Getting in trouble while facing old friends is all part of being a Wonderbolt.

Author's Note

So yeah Ponyville is finally rebuilt after constant laboring and lots of money poured in. The town is brand spanking new and everyone is happy. but Happiness can only last for so long. So anyways that is the start of this continuation fic. Next chapter it's a show down between 2 mare's and two tom colts.

Side notes. Fluttershy's home has been rebuilt too but wasn't mentioned in the chapter because the new houses will get mentioned next one. They all got improved homes and stuff. Especially Fluttershy's since it now needs to fit two adult pegasi one filly and a foal that will be coming up in some odd chapters.

The Failure Cadet Lightning Dust

Lightning Dust, a pegasus on par with Rainbow Dash, was shuffling through news articles, she had collected many articles that had one name on it, Rainbow Dash, she was infuriated with how the former pal decided to steal her chance at becoming a Wonderbolt. She was upset initially when she found out but she was even more upset when she herself wasn't accepted due to her actions at the academy and further more since she was barred from the Wonderbolts Academy she wasn't allowed to return.

She wasn't trying to be a Wonderbolt to senselessly sleep with mares or get into drugs and wreck her whole life. She wasn't there to become a super star sensation that caused the world to forget she was just another pony. Nor was she attempting to become above the law through fame and wealth. It was sickening to see how her former wing pony had wasted her career away and even how she spent her time and money that could have been better used.

The articles ranged from "Rainbow Dash a true hero and great pony" to "Rainbow Dash breaks into sanatorium and marenaps a dangerous pony." Many stories regarded her as a hero and it made Lightning Dust feel even worse about herself. She was sad not only because she had her chance at being an elite flyer usurped by a whiny tom colt, but because she also was going to use the wealth from being a Wonderbolt to pay for an operation her brother needed to live.

She never got the chance to do so. She saved her money up to enter the academy. She wasn't some princess' lap dog or born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was just a normal pony who was able to train her body to become fast. While she never knew of Rainbow Dash's natural speed and how easy it was for some pony like the cyan pegasus to attain it, she had at least figured hard work and dedication would surpass a natural. Sadly it wasn't the case. While she pushed herself harder she fell when it mattered in comparison to the sonic rainbooming machine.

Her brother's death made her bitter. The very idea of his life being gone because she was screwed out of her destiny was the last straw for her. She knew she had to make Rainbow Dash pay. Because if Rainbow Dash didn't do whatever she did at Spitfire's office then Lightning dust would have been the next Wonderbolt for certain. At least in her mind that was the case. Spitfire was impressed with me, then Rainbow Dash pulled some underhanded tactic to gain my spot and become the lead pony. I was humiliated and exiled from the academy without so much an explanation and told not to bother with returning. I didn't even get a refund. All the while Rainbow Dash smiled and easily went on to success. I worked so hard, if my attitude was rotten should that have mattered? So what if I almost killed 5 ponies with an accidental twister it wasn't my intention and surely Rainbow Dash helped even if she only agreed because I asked her to. She was still party to that catastrophe and yet she not only gets away with it she some how comes out a hero.

Her family was devastated in losing such a fine young colt. He was a natural flyer and they had such high hopes for him. He was always following his sister and never got into any kind of trouble. He was good hearted, never abused any pony, and always tried to help. He was going to be something special. Tragically he had a rare illness that affected one out of every five hundred pegasi. It was hardly a disease that was worth studying or curing since it never resurfaced since the day of Commander Hurricane. The cure was to operate on the lungs removing the cyst that would form. Since it was slow acting naturally a pegasi wouldn't feel the effects till it was near fatal stages. Lightning Dust had pushed herself harder and it caused her to become reckless. She had a noble goal in mind. She wanted to pursue being a Wonderbolt so she could make the money. She had the talent and the ability for it. She just lacked the civility that other Wonderbolts had.

She had followed the papers and current articles till one appeared. "FlutterDash vs Vinyltavia, a battle of egos" She was shocked to see what kind of nonsense two well respected celebrities and their mares would be getting into. " How is this bucking news? Is this seriously the kind of bucking thing that makes headlines? Because they are both famous? This is why I didn't make it into the Wonderbolts? So ponies like Rainbow Dash can have 'fights' and get publicity from it?" She was shouting at the wall since she was alone in her brother's room. She would go there some times and just enjoy the memories that would flow into her mind. Masochistic as it was it made her remember that she was robbed from her prestigious destiny and was usurped by someone she considered a friend, even if it was for a week they had the same goals and ability. Even if Rainbow was a little faster than her. It wasn't fair... she wanted some kind of justice in this world.

She found the current article had described an affair of which a party honoring the restoration of Ponyville had been the 'battleground' for the mega celebrities. Some sources claimed that Rainbow Dash had moved back home to Ponyville permanently. So all I have to do is go to Ponyville and I will find Rainbow Dash.... then I can publicly shame her for the injustice she caused me. I will let every pony know that the Wonderbolts had chosen the wrong candidate. Then maybe... just maybe... I can feel I wasn't useless... maybe I was just dealt a bad hand... I love you Sky Runner... I miss you so much. A tear trailed down her face, a tear that barely managed to escape since the eyes were already damaged from constant crying. She had lost her little brother. She was his idol and mentor. They did everything together till his illness came into effect. She wasn't going to beg for her position and wanted to earn it through trials and tribulations. She was determined but in the end she was wronged. Now she had a chance to right this wrong and not be left to fester any longer.

____________________________________________________________

The morning sun had started rising. The day was soon to begin in Ponyville. Usually the pony's had no reason to wake up soo early. Some did because they had jobs that required them to be up at the crack of dawn or even before it. Rainbow Dash was now working as a Weather Manager, while soon her new job of teaching would begin as soon as Scootaloo's school started. She had marked the day in which was slowly closing in. She usually would wake up alone and try to sneak out of bed as to not disturb her mare. Lately though Fluttershy had been the one to wake up and make the busy Wonderbolt some breakfast.

Rainbow Dash felt guilty about it, they weren't married yet and her marefriend was acting like a housewife. It wasn't something she couldn't get used to but she didn't feel she deserved such love and care. She knew that she still had a lot of making up to do for what she put the timid mare through. She wasn't going to let a single day go by without letting the mare of her dreams know how much she meant to her. Rainbow Dash was up doing her morning stretches and work out routine in the training room she had that was meant for her to work out or to be alone whenever stressful situations arose. It was her 'den' of sorts. Her mare-cave of sorts. She kept herself fit even if just to look more appealing to her mare. Fluttershy wouldn't say it but the rainbow maned pony knew that her mare was checking her muscled body out from time to time.

Fluttershy was yawning a bit while preparing some eggs and hay bacon. Since pony diet was vegetarian they had mostly hay for or flowers instead of meat during any meals. She was excited to help her lover out. This was a partnership in her mind she didn't need to be married to know they were meant for each other. Their wedding was coming up in a couple of months and she was going through with the planning mostly with Rarity or Twilight's help. She wasn't going to try and get things done on her own since she needed someone with more of a taste for that kind of stuff to help. Rarity had always been the romantic type of pony and had a good sense of style. Twilight wasn't a romantic pony but her organization skills were better than any ponies in Equestria. She felt bad about using Rainbow's money to spend on excess things for the wedding but her lover declared that she didn't need to ask for money since it was her's by proxy. Though she didn't say it in that exact way since fancy words didn't suit her. So planning a wedding, taking care of a foal, and keeping a over worked celebrity from crashing or burning was keeping her busy. She still made time to see her friends and take care of the animals but Angel bunny had to pull more of his weight around to help. He didn't mind because he got all the salads he liked due to Rainbow Dash taking a liking to the annoying bunny.

When her morning routine was finished she went to the kitchen smelling of sweat and was sent to the bathroom to clean up. She resisted at first but the usually shy mare decided to offer her a reward by joining in. Rainbow would be crazy to refuse such a treat. While Rainbow Dash got the bath prepped, Fluttershy finished cooking the breakfast. Once the breakfast was complete the canary mare went into the bathroom and got right in wasting no time.

____________________________________________________________

some minor sexual stuff not too much but still enough to warrant a warning.

Rainbow Dash was slowly making her way up her lover's body planting kisses along it. The water was a hindrance to her usually slow paced kisses. Having to dive her head into the water to reach certain spots. It wasn't what any pony would call sexy. Though the fact she went as far to trail kisses up her lover's body showed she never would stop treating her like the special mare she was.

Fluttershy blushed at the lengths her marefriend would go to please her. Lately it was starting to make her worry that maybe she was still afraid the canary mare might disappear or something. It has been hard lately to spend any time together. To Fluttershy it didn't matter what to her did matter was they had time. Life was moving slowly but she was moving just at the right speed. They had no need to be worried. The soft kisses and the sweet whispers had the desired effect and Fluttershy was aroused.

Rainbow Dash used this opportunity to gently slide a hoof into her lover. She captured her lips in a dominant display and suckled on them while gliding her hoof into her lover's tight marehood. They motion was gentle at first. then it got faster while she slid her tongue into the moaning mare's mouth.

Fluttershy enjoyed anything the rainbow maned lover would do to her. She wasn't into kinky bondage or anything fancy but wasn't against trying new things. She mostly just enjoyed the fact she was with her long time friend turn lover. Fluttershy had no sexual preferences and wasn't into mares at all. The only reason she responded to Rainbow's touches and caresses were only because it was her. If it had been any other mare the reactions would be stoic and not approving. She was into stallions but even the greatest stallion in all of Equestria would fall short to her lover. It wasn't that Rainbow Dash was the best thing in the world but to her she was everything. Her mind slowly fogging as the pleasure built up she was moaning and blushing from the noise level.

Rainbow chuckled at how loud she could make the usually quiet mare moan. Though she was slightly worried that their adopted foal would wake up. She kept pushing her hoof into her lover's canal wanting to enjoy the moment since she couldn't quite eat her out with them being in a tub full of water. The motions continued for a while till she finally felt her body jolt up and spasm. It was like music to her ears which was accompanied by the cutest moans in all of Equestria.

Fluttershy's tongue lulled out and she panted. She wasn't going to let the tub experience end though, Rainbow needed to get off as well. Fluttershy waited till Rainbow was going to secure the 'final kiss' of the moment but she had other plans. She pushed rainbow back catching her off guard before rubbing her lover's marehood for all it was worth.

The cyan mare was shocked but started to moan feeling the usually calm mare rush into action. It was scary but in the good way. Damn Flutters you are too amazing and you don't even know it. she felt the hoof gently start teasing her nub and was shuddering. "Flutters... stop teasing me" she moaned out and that earned her a husky whisper from her marefriend.

"Don't worry my love, I will make you feel so good. Now just relax and let me do my thing." her voice sultry and soft. Her tongue snaked it's way into Rainbow's ear as she started vigorously rubbing her lover's marehood. It wasn't lewd but it was sensually charged. soon she went for the kill and shoved her hoof into her marefriend and started moving her hoof in tempo. It wasn't long after that she got her prize. A loud orgasmic bellow and a lover who was having spasms. Fluttershy let her future wife ride out the wave before kissing her softly and blushing wildly. "Did.. did I do something bad?" She felt afraid she may have over stepped her bounds. Rainbow Dash was always the top and specifically told her mare not to take control during sex because it wasn't her thing.

Rainbow Dash was flushed. She had never been dominated or even let control slip during sex. She had fought during sex to maintain top status but never had lost it so easily. "Y...our amazing." She panted. She kissed her lover with passion while the two started to properly bathe and get ready for the day.

____________________________________________________________

Sex over you may read on.

The breakfast was eaten with some what haste having to rush since the activities of the shower took a bit longer than usual Rainbow Dash had stopped focusing on the sex aspect of intercourse and mostly focused on the petting and foreplay. She wanted to be more ... pure for her mare. She wasn't going to transform though because she still enjoyed some rough and tumbling fun. She just wanted it to be scarce so it was more enjoyable.

With her sheets in place she was filling out names of ponies and assigning them sectors she was sipping her coffee while organizing the weather. It wasn't fun but it was something. She had been training the weather ponies on her time working, she didn't like doing so because most of them were ok workers but, Ponyville was used to excellent weather not ok weather.

As she finished assigning sectors to ponies she was planning out her day . Morning weather duties, afternoon lunch with Flutters, then she had to take Pinkie Pie to her first therapy visit. Usually Pinkie Pie was able to take care of herself but the therapist was located in Hoofington and by train that could take a day but with Rainbow Dash as a vehicle it would take minutes tops. Rainbow Dash enjoyed flying still, still loved the thrill of reaching new heights and with her power packed body she could easily lift ponies at hyper speeds. She wasn't comfortable being ridden but giving Pinkie a lift to her first session wasn't that bad. Beats waiting for a day to find out if Pinkie will be alright. After her visit to the therapist with Pinkie she had to meet with Spitfire for some last minute training for her show tomorrow. It was going to be an all girls themed show since Soarin wasn't able to return from his emergency in time to drum up a good routine with the already practiced ponies. He decided he would just watch the show from the VIP box since he had nothing going for him that day. So with all that planned out she had the rest of the night to fly with scoots after dinner. It seemed that all this time was being managed ... Egg Head would be proud.

____________________________________________________________

Also up bright and early was a farm pony who was used to working each day from sun up to sun down. She was not a fan of slacking off. Recently since her pregnancy her brother had taken the task of over seeing the farm and teaching the new employees the proper bucking methods. Since the farm expanded and was a new business they were able to hire workers to help out. It wasn't the apple family way but with Granny Smith gone it was time to forge a new tradition. The apple clan was a proud clan but new age practicies over shadowed traditions.

Though usually she was up and about Applejack had this one morning to relax. It had been days since that night her friend stayed over. Rarity was awfully chummy that night she remembered. Though it wasn't as if she didn't enjoy the company just she felt she was being molested by her friend's eyes. She was staring at my body a lot. I wonder if she fancies me... nah Applejack who you kidding your an ugly pregnant cow of a mare... no pony is going to want you. Even if Applejack fancied stallions and not mares any kind of attention would be flattering. She wasn't against mares that had relationship with other mares but she herself never found herself attracted to any... well that would be a complete lie. She hadn't turned down the notion of being with a certain rainbow maned athlete. It was not because Rainbow Dash was the sexiest thing in Equestria it was just their friendship was so deep that it would have worked had they ever attempted to be with eachother. That thought was gone the moment Rainbow Dash announced her engagement to Fluttershy. Still if she was able to enjoy the presence of one mare was it possible to enjoy the presence of another? It wasn't usually what Applejack thought of but again she isn't getting any younger and her foal was going to need some other parent around. Big Mac is great and all but that is her foal's uncle. RD is great and all but that was going to be the foal's aunt.

Silently letting a tear roll down her eye she got up and started preparing breakfast for her brother and little sister. Applebloom was always running off with her two friends leaving a lonely Applejack to be crabby. Applejack decided today she was going to visit her friend Rarity. She had after all gotten along very well that night and she wasn't in the mood to be lonely. If anything Rarity would be open to spending time with her since she seemed to not want to leave that morning of. It was almost as if Rarity wanted to stay longer than was appropriate. Applejack had no problems with friends staying over but that night wasn't normal. Rarity insisted on sharing a bed with Applejack because it was 'cold' that night and Applejack was 'warm'. Something tells me warm was just another way of calling me fat... but I know Rarity meant nothing by it.

Big Mac had returned that night to see his sister being completely taken over by another mare. It seemed as if the marshmallow pony was attempting to rut his sister from the way they were positioned but they were both sleeping and if they were rutting they wouldn't be laying in that manner post coitus. He was enjoying the party as well that night when everyone was watching Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy make a fool of themselves. It wasn't like it was not entertaining but still it was ruffling his fur to see such a beautiful mare like Fluttershy wasting her day with a tom colt. I am a real stallion I could give her the real deal.... I wish she would just think of me and maybe find out she could have a better life. He felt strongly about being the better choice for the mare. He was a hard worker and a gentle soul. He wasn't as fast as the cyan athlete but he sure was more stocky. He wasn't going to try anything though because even if he disliked Rainbow Dash, he knew his sister admired her to no end. It would be bad blood all around. Not to mention the news paper mentioned something about Rainbow Dash Sonic Rainbooming a dragon to death. He wasn't that quick to find out if the papers exaggerated about that. He was not alone at the party at least he had the company of Cheerilee. She wasn't a bad pony but she wasn't as beautiful as Fluttershy. He was happy he had the attention of a mare but the canary pegasus was the absolute finest mare in all ponyville. The marshmallow one is a fine second but she might be into his sister. He couldn't tell and couldn't care. What my sister does in her own time is her business.

Applebloom on the other hand wasn't interested in love or other adult stuff. She just wanted to get her chores done so she could go crusading. Summer was almost over and soon school would start. She was kind of excited for that since she could have something else to do besides chores and crusading. Crusading was fun but they were running out of things to do. Soon they would have to invent new things to try and that could be dangerous. She wasn't a softy like Sweetie Belle or as brash as Scootaloo who seemed to become braver. Ever since she was adopted by Fluttershy and spending more time with Rainbow Dash she was becoming faster and stronger. She was trying to focus on building up her wing strength so she could take off effortlessly. Applebloom sighed about that. If Scootaloo starts flying would she earn her cutie mark? If so would she still want to hang out with blank flanks?

____________________________________________________________

The day started moving on slowly. Soon ponies were up and about and a tough looking muscular pony was walking through the town. He looked like he was going to explode with his over muscled body. He was speaking in a foreign accent. "I know ladies it is I Muscle Bound, don't start crowding around at once. After all..." he said while lowering his sun glasses "I'll be back." he stated coolly as the mares swooned.

The famous celebrity known for being in action flicks and being a body builder was visiting Ponyville because of a stunt Rainbow Dash pulled while wearing one of Rarity's dresses. It was sensationalized by media. The cyan wonder, had proclaimed that Rarity's fashion were the best and were endorsed by her so it was 20 percent cooler. Naturally many Ponies wanted to know about this Rarity. it turns out in Canterlot she had connections to Mr. Fancy Pants who was able to direct some celebrity ponies to her place of business.

Muscle Bound wanted a new outfit for an upcoming event and wanted to see if the fashionista was up to snuff. He followed the directions till he made his way to the shop and strolled on in without knocking because he was that bad ass. "Hello, I am looking for a pony named Rarity" he said thick with accent so it sounded a bit off. "I want you to make me an outfit.. NOW!" He said rudely as he waited for someone to appear.

Rarity for the life of her couldn't understand why a big Celebrity was acting so uncouth. She had hurried from her sleep and got herself ready as quick as she could. She brushed her mane and put her fake lashes in. She had to forgo the make up and just wing it. She sheepishly made her way there with a smile. "So what can I do to for you ... " she stated flirtatiously while winking "Mr. Bound." She finished while batting her eyelashes. Now normally Rarity wouldn't be this upfront or flirty especially with a customer but there was three things making her do this. One Mr. Bound was one hell of a stallion, Rich, Famous, and Attractive. Two, she had almost rutted her friend and was trying to find a way to dispell her attraction for the muscled mare and as fate would have it an even more muscular stallion who was perfect for her appeared. Lastly because well if he was able to be charmed by Rarity she could increase her sales with a higher priced outfit.

Just was he was about to place the order the door behind him opened and in came a country pony with a stetson on and what appeared to be a basket in her mouth. She walked in and put the basket down to the side. " Hey there Rarity... I was jus' droppin' this here basket off ta thank ya again for keepin' me company." She was surprised there was this bulky stallion that could give Big Mac a run for his money standing in the Boutique. What kind of suit would this stallion want. He is all muscle, a suit wouldn't look right on him.

Rarity was cursing Celestia and Luna all at the same time and even threw in an even more silent curse at Twilight Sparkle since she was a princess now too. Her mind was going a mile a minute. This can't be... I was going to get over her and stop thinking about her in that way, here is the answer to my dreams wanting to buy an outfit from me, and she has the gall to enter my shop unannounced and just charm me with gifts. The nerve... how sweet. Darn it... I can't be rude and decline the gift but I can't ignore the customer. If I give my attention to one then the other will be cross. Mmmph. I know I can just faint, no one will feel bad then. But I will lose my customer... I need this sale. I am sorry Applejack but business comes first, you will understand right, darling? "I am sorry for the intrusion Mr. Bound it seems some ponies have no manners. What is it you wanted to order again?" She said while trying to not feel like a pile of manure for just shunning her friend like that. She didn't have to even look or hear to know that Applejack left. The hurt written across her face was enough to make Rarity's heart feel like it was stabbed. Why did I do that? For a bucking sale? I hope it was worth it ... because I know it won't be.

The oblivious Muscular Adonis of a stallion wasn't understanding the contextual passing on of the two mares and couldn't care less. He wanted to give his details and stuff and begin getting measurements done.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was excited for her first therapy visit. She didn't know exactly what they would say but if anything could help her be a happy pinkie that doesn't have bad nightmares or dark thoughts then she was all for it. "This is going to be superduperrific." She said to no one in particular thinking out loud. It was noon which meant she had to get ready. She finished part of the lunch rush before she had to excuse herself. She went to her room and thought about what to wear... she picked out the perfect outfit to wear... a smile.

She didn't need any fancy clothing to go to a place where all they want to see is how ugly or beautiful her mind was. She walked outside and looked for Rainbow Dash, she was supposed to be there in a couple of minutes but Rainbow Dash is so fast minutes can be seconds... Pinkie reasoned.

Just as expected Rainbow Dash arrived at the shop within seconds having finished lunch rather quickly. She wasn't in a mood to wait for things. She wanted Pinkie better so they could hang out without having to worry about a psychotic moment or hearing Pinkie say some really bucked up stuff. "So Pinks hop on the rainbow ride, please keep all legs on the rainbow at all times. If you feel air sick please let the captain know and she will pull over. " She announced into her hoof as if it was a audio device. She positioned herself and immediately felt a semi huge weight on her back. "Lay off the cupcakes Pinkie... you haven't been running around as you used to. " She said semi rudely but she was also poking fun at the pink pony.

Pinkie didn't care she just yelled "Mush" and pretended to whip some reigns against her back. She held on when all of a sudden the world beneath her looked rushed. Time was nothing as everything flowed effortlessly clouds became squiggly lines and the wind rushed in her face. She was happy. this feeling was euphoric and she understood why Rainbow Dash never stops flying. If she could fly Pinkie would do this all day too. The rush, the feeling, the excitement. It was almost orgasmic at how great it felt. Though orgasming mid flight on a friend wouldn't be the proper thing to do. She settled on just enjoying the ride and not over thinking it.

Rainbow Dash soared through the air effortless and with great speed. It wasn't a challenge anymore. Ever since unlocking the secrets of the Sonic Rainboom, speed became nothing to the cyan pony. She was almost a goddess... she remembered her battle with discord and how alpha she felt. That sort of feeling is good once in a while but it can get kind of become a delusion. She was rocketing across the skies while making sure the suddenly lighter pink pony was still on her back. She found pinkie holding on with her hind legs tight while her forelegs were in the air and her face had the biggest smile in all of Equestria. Rainbow Dash blushed at this. She knew Pinkie was obsessed with her but she never imagined just how much Pinkie enjoyed being close to Dash and that coupled with flying meant she was probably the happiest pony in all history. It wasn't something that would be thought on as their destination approached. Darn I hate being so fast sometimes ... I mean I love flying but now I have to stop. Pinkie I hope you can be cured because I really miss pranking with you.

____________________________________________________________

Lightning Dust was pissed off. She had just found Rainbow Dash and no sooner she was off like if physics had no meaning. Her body propelled into the sky at speeds unseen before. She wasn't going to let her day be foiled. Rainbow Dash would definitely be back. This she was sure of. She wanted to confront the Wonderbolt and make her feel like crap for her brother's death. Then when Rainbow Dash is feeling guilty and her guard is down she would destroy her. Barraging her with her past mistakes and filling her head with guilt. Lightning dust also wanted to let Rainbow Dash hear about how the lightning stamped failure's family was suffering from their shining star's death.

She surveyed the town. It looked really nice for a small town of hick ponies. She felt like this town was slow and that it was no Wonder Rainbow Dash was the top one at the academy. The other pegasi from Ponyville were pathetic. She was approached by a kindly looking foal that kind of reminded her of Sky Runner. "Hey are you lost." Said the small voice. She was lost in thought and soon saw the colt transform into Sky Runner and she grabbed the now scared foal and hugged him passionately. it wasn't a sensual passion it was a familial one. She started crying while holding the foal tight till a scream broke her train of thought "Let go of my foal you foalnapper." This got ponie's attention and soon ponies were eyeing her with suspicion. She replied softly while lowering the foal "I am sorry... he just reminded me of my brother and I ... " She said as tears poured soon people were less angry and more sympathetic. The mare who yelled was soon comforting the poor distressed pegasus. "There, there... no harm done." She said softly. Lightning Dust wasn't sure how she could stand up to Rainbow Dash if she was breaking down in front of some no pony. She was disgusted with her sentiments.

The other ponies now relaxed went on their daily lives. The comforting mare offered to take Lightning Dust to lunch for embarrassing her by causing a scene. "Please it's the least I can do. I feel truly bad for making you out to be some foal-napper when I should have gotten the facts first." She tried apologetically. Lightning Dust just put on a fake smile and had some other way to cash in on the mare's sympathy. " Actually if you could point me to where Rainbow Dash lives I will be very grateful. I am old friends of hers and she told me that I should visit her but I forgot what house she lived in since it was before Ponyville got rebuilt." She said as earnest as she could and the mare without even a thought pointed her to where the rainbow maned celebrity lived.

"Thanks a lot and again I am sorry about grabbing your foal like that... take good care of him because he is probably going to be something special." She said with a fake smile when really she wanted to say something much worse. She made her away off to where Rainbow Dash was supposed to live and found a familiar canary pony singing to her birds outside the house. "Hey... I remember you...," She said harshly earning an "eep" from the timid mare.

Well if I can't do anything to Rainbow Dash while she is gone... I can at least use her mare to my advantage.

Author's Note

So now Lightning dust has arrived with some revenge in mind. Just what will she do to Fluttershy with Rainbow Dash gone and will anyone stop her? Who knows...

Lightning Dust's Revenge, Fluttershy's Torment.

Lightning Dust had convinced Fluttershy to allow her into her home. She had told the timid mare that she had some information about Rainbow Dash that should be kept private. Fluttershy wasn't sure but she knew that Rainbow Dash wasn't in town and figured she could deal with it herself. The usually quiet pegasus offered Lightning Dust some tea which was refused vehemently. This wasn't a social visit she had a goal in mind. Lightning Dust's only goal was to make Rainbow Dash suffer. She had the articles and offending material on Rainbow Dash on a side pouch that was on her pack. She had all the necessary things for her revenge plan and it was going better than she imagined.

With Rainbow Dash out the way I can easily torment her little lover with facts and pictures that she was probably kept from. The information in my pack will be able to send any pony away from her. Simply put I am going to destroy her relationship before destroying her. She deserves it. She was the one who ruined my life so it's only fair I ruin hers. I will feel kind of bad about having to make such an innocent pony cry, but it's something I must do. She is stupid enough to be with such a vile pony and regardless of her innocence she has to be dealt a blow if I am going to break them apart.

They had both sat around the tea table with Fluttershy sipping some warm tea and Angel Bunny in a defensive stance ready to kick some flank. He wasn't going to let some no pony hurt Fluttershy. Though he regarded every Pony besides Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash as some no pony. Fluttershy started with a small smile trying to use kindness as a weapon. "So what is this information you bring that is urgent?" She said slowly as if whatever the other pony wanted to say would be nothing to her. She didn't need to hear about Rainbow's past to know it was rough. Rainbow Dash never opened up to her about her misdeeds and when asked she changed the subject. Only recently she found out about Vinyl and her make out session and it was a bit ... stinging but it wasn't break up worthy.

Lightning Dust smiled with evil thoughts pouring from her mind. The atmosphere was unsettling but she wanted the tense mood to help with the stinging blows that she would verbally launch. "Well as you know Rainbow Dash is a big time star, as such I am sure you know sometimes celebrities can get out of control... " she paused for dramatic effect, "So I was wondering just how much do you know about her drug habits?"

Fluttershy blinked and spit her tea. "Drug Habits... Rainbow Dash doesn't do drugs... " She said defensively. Rainbow Dash wasn't the kind of pony to succumb to pressure and abuse chemicals, what happened before they got together was already forgiven for. "She may have done some... during her mental collapse.. but she is doing fine now and isn't on drugs anymore.. if all you have is old news then I suggest you leave." She said with a tone that betrayed her nature. She wasn't a fighter but she wasn't going to let anyone tarnish her lover's reputation with old stories.

Lightning Dust didn't expect that... surely she thought some pony as innocent as the shy mare wouldn't deal with a druggie. Then maybe she isn't so innocent after all. "I am sorry that struck a chord, but I have no intention of leaving till your mare returns. I am trying to have a pleasant conversation. I suggest you behave or I will hurt you." She said with a dark tone. The plan wasn't going the way she wanted but she had other means of hurting ponies.

Fluttershy grew small and quiet and was sensing that this pony wasn't mentally stable. Without Rainbow Dash to protect her she could be beaten or worse... she didn't want any pony touching her like that. Her body was meant for Rainbow only and it had to stay that way. "Ok..." She said defeated. She was soft speaking and hiding behind her hair. She was shy again,

"Good... now I just have to ask... how can a sweet beautiful mare like yourself even stoop to being with a slut like Rainbow Dash... you know she probably had sex with half of Equestria... well half the mares at least. That is what reports say. Many mares have come forward saying they were targeted by her and used. Their hearts broken and their families shamed. Some were even married and had divorces thanks to Rainbow's lustful attacks. Did she even stop to apologize to any of them? No she didn't she kept on using and abusing mares just for her own selfish pleasure. You are a beautiful young mare with a whole life ahead of you and yet...." She said with a shocked tone "You settled for a slut like her?" She finished with Disgust the question more rhetorical then inquisitve.

Fluttershy just looked down, she wasn't enjoying the conversation and was too scared to stop her verbal assaulter. She just stayed silent in hopes she would just leave. Angel Bunny was ready to rampage all over her but felt how scared Fluttershy was and didn't want to put her in danger in case he couldn't take out the would be victim.

Lightning Dust was starting to become satisfied her rage almost dissipating as she decided to continue on. This is getting fun, with any luck she might break up with Rainbow Dash before the conversation is over. That little bunny better watch his step before I turn him into stew and feed him to a gryphon. " Besides her lewd acts and copious affairs Rainbow Dash had also been very violent while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She had left many stallions battered and barely breathing. Her rampages left broken bones and shattered prides all over Equestria. Not one arrest was made... people were too afraid of her. That is the sort of pony you can love and admire? A tyrant? She was guilty of many crimes and yet not once was she taken to court. She broke into pony's homes and constantly broke laws and property. She was a wreck and yet you sit here with your fancy house able to enjoy it all because the monster you love is paying for it?" She was on a roll, the sight of the mare shrinking before her was getting her all fired up, She was going to continue this sort of attack and wasn't going to feel bad. This was her revenge.

____________________________________________________________

Canterlot Castle was quiet this day. The princess of the day was alone and in her thoughts. I can't believe that happened. I thought my love for Twilight Sparkle was platonic, and I gave into temptation so easily. I shouldn't even be allowed to rule with my awful decisions. I feel even more awful since Flash is into twilight. He is a good stallion and can make her happy and give her a family without abusing ancient magic. Why did I kiss her and why did I continue on with the night as I did. I should have stopped her from bringing me to that library... I didn't and I was a pony in power. I am such a foal.

Luna had been worried about Celestia since the night of the party. She came back in the morning and hadn't looked clean. Luna suspected something between her sister and her sister's protege turned princess. It was funny while it was rumors and jokes. Now that the suspicions were true she knew that her sister wouldn't be able to focus if her heart truly belonged to the young alicorn. Being immortal didn't mean being above mortal whims and emotions. Lust, love, passion, romance, heartache, etc. They weren't as important to alicorns as they were to other ponies, but they were still present.

Twilight Sparkle arrived with Flash Sentry in tow. Celestia's heart was slowly breaking. She didn't want to see them close together after Celestia and Twilight shared a steamy night of passion. The thought of seeing her with another pony so close was infuriating but being a princess meant being above such petty feelings and continuing the tasks given. "Twilight Sparkle how are you this fine day my most faithful student?" She asked putting on a facade so she wasn't giving any hints as to their previous encounter that one night.

"I am doing well princess Celestia. I was just coming over for a visit when Flash Sentry decided to tag along." She said hinting that she wanted to see her but was bothered by her guard to be accompanied. "I sometimes wish I lived in Canterlot so we could be closer." Another signal that was meant for Celestia to understand. The sun goddess' heart started to thump in her chest rapidly. Twilight continued walking closer while Flash obliviously followed. "So my dear princess Celestia do you wish to spend some time together in private? I have some urgent news to discuss that is for Princess' only" She said with a wink.

Luna caught on to the act.. it was a signal for them to have some private time and yet the guard would most likely be nosy and she decided that she could just this once play along and interfere. "That is quite a coincidence Twilight I was just meaning to speak with Flash Sentry about accompanying me on a stroll around Canterlot. I was going to get my guards but since I noticed you were here with yours and aren't using him I could borrow him for a few?" She mock asked as if Twilight wasn't going to say yes.

Celestia was internally beaming. I am going to definitely give Luna anything she wants as a reward for this. "Perfect... so then shall we go. I would love to discuss the urgent news and since it sounds serious I am guessing that Luna you may have to go for a long stroll while we discuss this news in detail." She was so obvious about it that only a moron could not understand her implications.

Flash Sentry was the biggest moron in Equestria. Even though Twilight was sometimes bashful around him, he didn't get the hint and he was in love with Twilight. He wanted to be more than a guard to her. Unbeknownst to him he was just going a long with a plan that was basically giving his love a free chance to get some goddess nooky. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed then again that is why he is a royal guard and not adviser. "Alright then Luna... I shall keep you safe and sound." He said with a puffed out chest and flared wings. He was showing pride and behind his backs the three princesses were giggling. He literally needed a brain if he was going to be with someone as studious as Twilight. Then again if Twilight and the princess hit it off his chances of obtaining some alicorn nooky was zip.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was bored, to say she was bored is an understatement. All she had to read in the lobby was old magazines of her and her interviews. She was being eyed carefully as other patients and guests of patients were wondering if that was the real Rainbow Dash. She wasn't answering any whispers because she didn't want attention. Suddenly a stallion comes up trying to look his finest.

"Excuse me gorgeous," mistake number one.. never hit on the dash "I was wondering if you would like to have lunch with me," mistake number two never ask the dash out on a date unless the dash is single and you are a hot mare. "I don't know if you know me but I am a huge fan and I would love to get to know you." Mistake number three was repeating mistake number one and two while bolstering how much of a fan you are.

Rainbow Dash half way grunted a no and ignored him. She wasn't in the mood to be hit on by anyone. She had her Flutters at home and that was all she needed. She especially didn't want to be hit on by no stallion. Unless it was like a stallion version of herself. That would be hot. She was waiting for Pinkie Pie to be finished. It had been half an hour already and yet no signs of anything. She wondered why she didn't just have Twilight do some convoluted spell to enter Pinkie's brain and destroy the darkness from within. She was picturing how it would be like and then realized that Twilight can sometimes mess up and ... that is never a good thing. She wouldn't want to be cleaning Pinkie Pie soup off the walls.

The stallion defeated and his pride destroyed decided to walk away and sit back in his spot. He was an exceptionally fine looking stallion so he never thought any mare would turn him down. Stupid celebrity mare... just because she is famous. What gives her the right to refuse me. She is lucky she is a strong mare otherwise I would just rut her till she enjoyed it... whoa no wonder I am here today I need help.

____________________________________________________________

Applejack was at her farm... she was doing what she could to feel useful and was surveying the workers do their job. Because of the workers being new some of the trees still had apples on it. She was starting to get upset with their work ethic. If it was someone like Rainbow Dash she wouldn't have stopped till all the trees were bucked if dared. Yet these stallions are getting paid to work and are doing worse than the easy to trick pony. She was about to yell when something caught her eye.

Rarity was slowly making her way with her head hung down in shame hoping her humble and submissive approach would be received with somewhat dignity. She wanted to apologize and truly felt awful for ignoring her friend and even making her feel like a nuisance. She waited to be spoken to since she knew that she had no room to speak out first until the farm pony wanted to listen.

Applejack was half way between throwing a hoof to her face or just letting it go and walking away. How dare she show her face around here after treating me like some trash. Ah had gifted her some really nice things that Ah made to show thanks and she goes on treating me like dirt. "Why I have half a mind ta buck ya in the jaw, Rarity, how could ya do that ta me?" She said trying to hold back the hurt and just express the anger. "Ya remember how Rainbow behaved when she was becoming some hoity toity celebutante, and I thought that you of all ponies would have remembered how it felt ta be treated badly." She was angry and pregnant, so her moods were wild at times.

Rarity just took the harsh words and sighed "Please... Applejack I am very truly sorry Darling. I never meant to get so worked up but I was in the process of dealing with a high profile client... I made a lot of money from him and he is going to spread the word... So I know while it was awful to hurt you... you have to see it from my perspective. I have this chance to become a great fashion designer and well respected. Would you not have done the same?" She asked trying to reason with the angry soon to be mother.

Applejack snorted "Well if it ain't Rainbow Dash the second, friends are alright as long as they don't interfere with the dreams an' all right? I am ashamed of you Sugar Cube... " she said softly getting really close to Rarity who was ready to take a blow. "I always thought ya were a great fashion designer and I respect you. Every pony in Ponyville wears yer frou frou outfits when they want to be all fancy like. I even wore some of yer dresses. Remember?" She asked while feeling like she was talking to a wall. She remembered her conversation with Rainbow Dash was similar. She didn't want to experience that kind of emotional torment again and with her foal on the way it wasn't healthy.

Rarity blushed at the compliment the usually emotionally reserved farm pony just told her that she was something special, in her own way. "I ... I am sorry Applejack can you ever forgive me?" She asked softly before nuzzling the angry farm pony. "I really feel bad for hurting you, after all you were just trying to hand me some nice treats..." she said ashamed.

Applejack just smiled and tipped her stetson back. "Of course I forgive ya, jus' don't do that again." She said while poking her side with her hoof. The usually elegant mare didn't react with disgust about dirt as she usually would because something about what Applejack said really hit her hard. Was she becoming Rainbow Dash? Would she leave Ponyville and become a celebrity who ignored her friends? Was she even capable of being all that important to a town of ponies to even be missed? She wasn't a super speedy cloud moving awesome machine.. she was just a simple fashion pony. What could possibly go wrong if I moved on from Ponyville? A fashion emergency leaves the town a huge mess? The only ones affected if I left town would probably be Applejack and Fluttershy... no one else really needs me it seems. I am single, aging, and slowly sinking into a lifestyle of making big loads of bits with celebrity customers... what if I become Rainbow Dash 2.0.. then again... all those stallions begging for my attention, dying to get at me... it would be rather nice for a change... but Applejack she is dear to me. Before Rainbow joined our sister group it was me and Applejack with our little sisters... She must have really grown to like me even after our first fight that almost made it impossible for us to be friends. Twilights sleep over... that was a nice day. We had shared a bed... we were awfully close... Stop it. Stop thinking about her like that Rarity... She is a mare and she is straight. Plus you are headed for the flashing lights and cameras. I can't be tied down to some farm pony even if I care about her... Oh my Celestia.. "I am becoming Rainbow Dash." When those words came out her mouth her private thoughts spilled into public she was scared. She bolted from the farm and went back into her boutique.

____________________________________________________________

Lightning Dust was enjoying the view. She was looking at a crying Fluttershy as she kept pounding her with information and news of disgust. " So did you even bother to ask her why she came back? Do you really think it was for you? Let's be real she doesn't love you. She probably says she does because she misses your... hooves on her body but love? No one that disgusting and vile can ever love you. Why would anyone want you anyways. You are slow, shy, weak and useless. I wouldn't even love you... I wouldn't even rut you even if you were a stallion. You are so pointless. A pony who nurtures animals. What is the point of that? Why would Rainbow Dash slow down when she is built for speed? You suddenly going to catch up and be fast? No you won't but I can be fast... hell maybe I should be with Rainbow Dash.. I would rut her good and be able to catch up with her... You wouldn't like it if I did rut her would you?" She asked with venom dripping from each word. She was sure that the timid mare was at her breaking point. Just needed a bit more. At this point the bunny was kicking her and hitting her. She kicked the bunny hard. Really hard. earning a sickening impact noise and Fluttershy's eyes widening in fear.

"Oops.. Stupid bunny, it isn't dead is it?" She asked in mock concern. She wasn't sure she liked the idea of killing a bunny herself but the stupid rabbit was asking for it. She felt her heart cringe a bit as Fluttershy was rapidly sobbing and telling her bunny to wake up... This isn't how I planned to take revenge... I wanted some tears... I didn't want to kill an innocent creature.. even if it was trying to defend it's owner from me it was still a tiny animal who couldn't hurt me...

Fluttershy was desperately tending to Angel bunny who wasn't conscious or breathing. She tried everything. "Please angel bunny... Angel bunny please... Don't be dead Angel bunny... Angel bunny... "She tried desperately performing CPR and checking everything to find some tangible problem that could be fixed... Why, why did this have to happen? What kind of monster does this? I was being good. I stood still and let her abuse me, why would she hurt my poor bunny. "Angel Bunny... Please don't go Momma loves you... Momma needs you."

Just as Fluttershy realized that Angel bunny was dead looked up with rage in her eyes but was shocked when she saw Lightning Dust take a hoof to the face from Scootaloo. The punch broke her jaw and blood spilled out. Scootaloo was furious and all she knew was one of her mom's were crying and some stranger must have been the cause. Scootaloo's tiny form wasn't that powerful but adrenaline and a surge of anger gave the necessary edge to make an impact that damaged the older mare's face. "You get the buck out my house before I make you." Said Scootaloo who was returning from crusading to get a snack and rest up. She wanted to spend time with her meeker mom because she enjoyed it as much as she did enjoy practicing with dash. Her training while not as intense as Rainbow Dash's it was still enough to give her some strength.

Lightning Dust was in a mix of disgust with herself for killing an innocent creature, rage from being socked in the jaw by a filly, and fear from how this situation could get out of hand and possible charges that could be placed. She wasn't into jail time and decided she would bail for now. She would have to find another way to get at Rainbow Dash.

"Next time I see you kid.... you are dead." She said with as much anger she could muster before storming out the house... she was not going to return for sure, just right now things were getting out of hand and she wasn't getting the results she wanted against Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy was still crying inside the house... Scootaloo looked at Angel Bunny.. her eyes started watering up and she looked away not wanting to see the sight. Angel bunny was dead.... that was a reality they would have to face. All because some mare felt that she was supposed to be a Wonderbolt.

Author's Note

Yeah... so that happened. I kind of feel bad killing off Angel bunny but it sort of just happened. Well obviously once RD finds out about this hell will rain down upon anyone unfortunate enough to piss her off. Being a celebrity has it's perks but it also has it's draw backs. Fame brings jealousy and hate... now with the reality of dating a celebrity ever present can Fluttershy actually make her relationship work?

Breaking Point

A somber mood was cast over Ponyville. When Rainbow Dash and Pinkie returned they noticed a crowd of ponies near Sugar Cube Corner. It wasn't a usual sight to see so many ponies awaiting their return. Most of them looked saddened. There was something definitely wrong. When they landed among the crowd, the silence grew abysmally dark. The tension was thick and the foreboding feeling was pouring from the mass of ponies.

Rainbow Dash was going to ask questions, the thoughts collecting in her head, she wanted to know what was going on but she never had the chance to before a crying Scootaloo approached her. "You... it's all your fault... why did you leave... why did you become a stinking Wonderbolt?" She said while tears were pouring out her eyes. Rainbow Dash felt a knife cut into her heart. The moment felt like a nightmare but one she wasn't waking up from. The already saddened Pinkie got away from the scene slowly knowing something bad must have happened and she wasn't in the mood to deal with it.

She had received bad news by the therapist. It seemed Pinkie Pie was suffering from some ingrained issues that stemmed from her past in the rock farm. The sudden intrustion of the Rainboom caused her brain to flip a switch and create a persona that was manifested by the euphoric feeling of the prismatic flash. The real Pinkie was Pinkamena. Pinkie Pie was a manifestation brought from the thick emotional magic tied to a Sonic Rainboom. The realization shattered Pinkie Pie down to her core. She never felt like smiling again.

The townsfolk all looked at Rainbow Dash half with disgust and others with sympathy. "Ok what the buck is going on?" She asked loudly starting to get pissed off. Her wings flared and her whole body fuming with anger. She was ready to take on the world until she heard the words that came like a sword into her chest. " Because of you being a Wonderbolt... Angel bunny is dead... Mom says she no longer wants you in her life."

____________________________________________________________

Celestia and Twilight were intimately engaged in a sensual snuggle. They were talking the day away and planning a future together. It wasn't a romantic future. They had to hide their affections from the masses. The scandal of a ancient goddess having an affair with a young princess would cause mass hysteria amongst the ponies of Equestria. Even though Celestia was the one of the two rulers of the entire continent of Equestria it doesn't make her above judgement. If people were to disagree with her enough they could revolt. Regardless of the rumors around her fortitude and power she has never been shown to be capable of performing anything too deadly. Her greatest ability of banishing people to far places was only done with the help of the Elements of Harmony. The level of power associated with the Sun Goddess was unmeasured and untested but because of her regal and domineering presence it went unchallenged for a thousand years.

Twilight on the other hand was very powerful in comparison having been able to make new spells and complete old ones. She has shown an advance understanding of the magic that exists in the world. She has been able to manipulate matter and even hold back a speeding pegasus. Though her powers are limited she has been shown to have great stamina in dire circumstances. So with the world against them for their forbidden love it was still a safe bet just to be lovers in the dark. Another problem is Flash Sentry. As long as he lived Twilight had no good reason to abandon him. He was quite a capable guard even if he wasn't as powerful as a certain pegasus. Rainbow Dash would have made a good guard but she can't sit still for more than a minute tops. Flash on the other hand has the patience of a tortoise. Flash is like Tank... oh how awkward of me to think that... why am I thinking of him anyways when I am snuggled up to my favorite pony ever? He is an alright pony but Celestia is amazing. Really... amazing. The two secret lovers having just finished a session of 'deliberation' and 'proceedings' were spent from the excitement of it all. Luckily the walls were thick so most likely they were safe. Still after their bodies have been pleasured it was nice to just snuggle up and cuddle. Twilight Knew that their time was soon coming to an end for the day. Luna wouldn't be able to stall Flash Sentry too long and Celestia would hate to think what would happen if someone who wants justice as much as that misguided pegasus were to see a woman he was courting being dominated by a noble princess.

While in their thoughts and enjoying each other's presence the world around them continued spinning. The lives of ponies kept moving. Which is why they felt that even if they laid there for a thousand years it wouldn't change anything happening in a day. They had eternity to be soul mates. Right now though other ponies needed them. Sighing in defeat of duty they both separated from their loving embrace and went back to the world, one a noble goddess and the other a studious princess.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was outside her house wondering why Applejack was standing in her way. She wanted to speak to her future wife about the heart breaking message Scootaloo delivered. There is no way this is happening. I want to know what happened and I want answers now." Look Applejack I don't know what you are doing trying to stop me but if I have to I will kill you to get through." She said unflinching and not joking in the least. She had suffered hell and more to get with the mare of her dreams and vice versa. No pony and she meant no pony was going to get in the way.

Big Mac wanting to be the protector was stupid enough to make the mistake of testing her resolve. "I dare you to even tr-" Was all he could get out before he was knocked unconscious by an angry pegasus who's eyes had turned red in anger from it's usual magenta hue. Applejack for the first time in her life actually felt fear while looking at her best friend. It wasn't common for Rainbow Dash to get this angry and never once has her eyes turned red. It was a scary image and she wasn't going to die for any pony while she was about to be a mother. She wanted to live to see her foal and if Rainbow Dash just one shotted her brother it was likely she wasn't bucking around.

Rainbow Dash busted in the house smashing through the door uncaring of hurting herself. She saw Rarity comforting Fluttershy and she grabbed Rainbow Dash using her levitation magic. " You are not wanted here... leave now or I will have to use force." She was using a harsh tone. Rainbow Dash laughed at her and challenged her "Once your magic breaks so does every bone in your prissy body... I want to talk to Fluttershy now you have a choice... keep hold of me till your magic breaks and get your flank destroyed, or get out of my way and let me find out why I am suddenly no longer wanted and what the hay happened while I was bucking gone." She wasn't in the mood for this... She was trying so hard to make life work. She had done so much to try and please her lover. Now all of a sudden she returns and she was the target of everyone's anger.

Rarity had to think about it. She wasn't sure how much validity was in Rainbow Dash's statement, then she remembered what became of Rainbow Dash during her ... dark period. It was bad. She was uncaring and a monster. Rarity wasn't willing to die when her career was about to take off. She removed her magic in defeat and moved out the way. She wasn't happy with her choice but when Rainbow Dash put her mind to something it was hard convincing her otherwise.

Rainbow Dash went to Fluttershy's side and tried getting her to talk. Her wing gently touched her body and she visibly flinched and backed away. She looked at the cyan mare as if she was toxic or something sharp. "Rainbow Dash.... please.... just leave me be... I am sorry but... we can't do this anymore... I lost Angel bunny because of you." She was tearing up. Her coat was soaked with tears. Her eyes were puffy and her mane was mangled. The feather she kept in her mane was removed. The message was one that destroyed Rainbow Dash... she was serious about this. It wasn't just anger it was finality. She wanted the cyan mare gone for good. This time it wasn't something that was going to be fixed. Rainbow Dash was finally breaking ... the armor... the facade... the belief and hope she had in her. The sound that left from the once great hero of Equestria resounded all over the world as the echoes of heartbreak could be heard from every corner of the world. It was a haunting sound. The sound of resolution and the will to live shattering into a million pieces.

All over Ponyville ponies covered their ears. The sound was so horrible it literally repulsed ponies and others cried from the grief of the pony bellowing. It was so saddening it was causing random ponies to cry from the effects of the emotional moment. Even Fluttershy was regretting her decision... she had never seen or heard Rainbow Dash this ... broken. It was almost making her want to take it back. But her bunny died because of her choices... she didn't have anything left in this world. All was taken away by the one choice her ex lover made almost a year ago.

Rainbow's bellow took everything in her. She had no energy left. No movement in her body, her eyes became empty. Her heart was broken and her soul shattered. She was an empty vessel unable to move or care. She just sat there on the couch as life continued around her. She was frozen in place. Nothing mattered anymore. Her whole life was gone. Fame... fortune... family... friends... all gone at that moment. when voices started chiming in it was barely audible. Something she heard clearly was "Then Lightning Dust killed Angel bunny it was so awful... and" the voices stopped again as anything else was tuned out. She was ruined by an old friend turned enemy. It wasn't something she expected. What did I ever do to Lightning Dust for her to do this to me... she thinks she is going to get away with it... I have nothing left to lose. I might as well get some kind of last hurrah before my life feels completely worthless and I end it. I have no reason to live. I might as well end it all with a bang... I will shatter Lightning Dust's entire family into pieces murder them all... Then I will Sonic Rainboom right into the ever free forest and take out as much of them damn animals that haunt this land with me. It will be glorious. I will break every bone in Lighting Dusts body first... one by one... then I will.... nah... she isn't even worth it. This whole thing is pointless. It doesn't matter if I do kill her. She won. She ruined my life whether she dies or not it doesn't change the fact she won. I lost a fight I didnt even know I was in. This is beyond bucked up. No point in moving anymore. I will just stay here. I can at least feel some comfort knowing... I gave it my all.

Applejack and Rarity were trying to move Rainbow Dash out the house the body was naturally immobile. Even with all their might it wouldn't budge an inch. it was as if she was over a thousand pounds. They gave up and just ignored her. Fluttershy just stayed in her spot too. None of them spoke and none of them moved. Big Mac was up and looking for revenge he threw a hoof at Rainbow Dash but it didn't even make her flinch. She just ate the hit like a pro. Though it wasn't her just that body wasn't really able to feel pain. Had she had any senses in her body it would screamed in pain as even though Rainbow Dash was amazingly durable a punch from an angry big mac was still something. He calmed down after that and walked away ashamed of himself. He would have felt satisfied if there was some fight in the athletic mare but it was as if she was just gone from the world.

Fluttershy refused to leave her side. She felt awful. It was eating at her. This wasn't how she thought it was going to go at all. She was sure Rainbow Dash was going to be sad, but not this devastated. I guess... I shouldn't have said those things... I mean it wasn't her fault really... she didn't tell Lighting Dust to kill Angel bunny. I just .... I messed up.... I need to fix this some how. "Girls.... leave us.... take Scootaloo for the night. I want to stay here with Rainbow Dash... now please just go... and keep Scootaloo safe." It wasn't a request but a demand. She knew that right now Rainbow Dash would be volatile and may accidentally strike the timid mare. She didn't want anyone around for this... especially not a protective filly like Scootaloo.

The girls looked at each other and joined Big Mac as they all left. Scootaloo was unsure why Rarity approached her in the town market. But she was instructed to stay with her and Sweetie Belle for the night. Scootaloo didn't mind she needed to be away from the situation anyways. She knew whatever was going to go down was going to be emotionally heavy and Scootaloo didn't do emotions. So she says. A night with just Sweetie Belle I wonder how that will go. I just hope she doesn't try to snuggle me I don't do snuggles.

____________________________________________________________

It felt like hours and yet neither pegasus said a word. Fluttershy gently wrapped her self around Rainbow Dash using her wings and forelegs to pull the empty eyed pegasus. It was saddening. She caused the pain and never thought it would reach this level of heart break. Am I really that important to her? I know she loves me but was I really all she had left in this world? I thought she had stuff to keep her happy besides me. I mean she is famous and loved by a lot of people. How come I matter so much. I am just a stupid weak not able to protect my own bunny cry baby...

Rainbow Dash just leaned forward and cried her heart out. She had a practiced schedule today for the Show tomorrow. She didn't make it to practice. She stayed in that spot with Fluttershy till night broke. Hunger had woke her from her stupor. She was nuzzled tight against her ex lover. She was not willing to move from that spot. Fluttershy was stroking her mane and gently cooing her. It was comforting but not comforting enough. She wasn't ready to live a life without her mare. She was going to be married. She didn't want to be alone. No other mare could compare to the amazing one she just lost. It was as if life itself was just making a spectacle of the cyan beauty. It was almost conspiratorial.

Fluttershy was half way through being mad and now just unsure of how to fix this giant mess. Sure it wasn't fair her bunny died but she took it out on the wrong pony. She was really upset sure but to say such things to someone who really tried their best to please her and everyone around her. It was low... Fluttershy felt low. She was starting to feel hunger and went to go make dinner but when she tried to move Rainbow Dash kept her in place scared... she was shaking in fear of being alone. "Rainbow.... I am just going to make food. I am not leaving you... I know I hurt you my love... I said awful things, I wasn't thinking. I will make us food and come right back ok? Don't worry I will make this all up to you... Don't hate me please." She whispered into her ears gently while tears spilled from them. Rainbow Dash let go slowly. No words left her mouth though.

Rainbow Dash was still in the same spot as dinner was being made... She wasn't even aware she had missed practice... suddenly it didn't matter if she did miss practice... she made a quick trip to the bathroom and returned back to the same spot. She was drawn to it. Almost as if it was her safe spot and nothing could hurt her. Her heart was a wreck and she was mentally drained. She couldn't sleep because she wasn't able to sleep alone after being with Fluttershy recently. They always slept together in each other's forelegs. It was the best way to sleep.

A light dinner later and suddenly they were embracing again with more need to be linked. They knew this was something that was bothering them both but no words were spoken. All words were replaced with action. Fluttershy gently kissed her reclaimed marefriend's lips softly no lust, no rush, nothing more than just an apology that was received and accepted when Rainbow Dash returned the kiss with need. It was like that for the remainder of the night they slowly nuzzled and cuddled and cried. They had no reasons for words because no words could express the sorrow of almost losing eachother, and no words could express the joy of having survived something together. They decided with finality that no matter what happens from now one they would fight it together. They didn't make that vow with words. They made that vow with passion. Their bodies weren't just making love, it was making a declaration of war. It was them against the world. No more was any obstacle or any objection going to stand in their way of being happy together. That night when all was almost lost it ultimately strengthened them. For them the night ended happily they were spent and on their beds Rainbow Dash a top at heart decided for this once to be a bottom because this wasn't a relationship anymore it was a marriage... they didn't need a stupid paper or some fancy ceremony to declare them married. They were still going to have a wedding but in their hearts they were already wed. Their love was like an unstoppable force now. After reaching breaking point and reforging it was the strongest relationship in all of Equestria.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was unsure of how to tell every pony about the deep revelation she had been told. Pinkie Pie was a lie. She was a mental disturbance caused by the Sonic Rainboom. It wasn't every day you get told your whole life was a lie. Pinkamena was her name. She still loved Dashie... but now she felt as if she needed to live her real life. The one that Rainbow Dash accidentally took away. Being declared insane for having hallucinogenic dreams and disturbing thoughts is one thing, but to have your whole life declared a delusion brought on by the ultimate euphoric reaction to a phenomenon, it was something else.

She let her hair fall and stared brushing it. No more Pinkie Pie from now on she was Pinkamena Diane Pie. She was still going to be throwing parties but no longer would it be childish and ridiculous she was going to be more like Vinyl and just be chill. The usually happy go lucky pony wasn't going to be bothering anyone anymore. She was going to bake more seriously and keep making ponies smile in her own way. No longer would she go pranking and no more would she fill herself to the brim with sweets. She was going to be a mature and respected pony. Good bye Pinkie Pie and may I never have to be you again.

She tossed away all pictures of her with her friends. After all those pictures were of Pinkie Pie not Pinkamena. The pink pony was going to make a new name for herself. She was going to be someone new. She was going to have new pictures and have a new attitude on life. No longer will I pretend to be some stupid pony who people just expect to laugh off all the pain I will be attentive and I will not be made a fool of anymore. I am not some stupid party pony I am a pony who sometimes throws parties. Life isn't a party and certainly isn't a game. I will live my life seriously. I will be some pony that Dash can enjoy being around. I know she tolerated me as Pinkie but now with maturity and a new style I won't just be tolerated by any pony I will be welcomed and enjoyed by all ponies and if not then buck them. "No more superific or fabutabulous I am going to cut those from my vocabulary. The ponies will either accept Pinkamena or tough cookie." She said into her mirror as she checked her new self out. She had dark gothic style make up on and her hair had a skull hair pain going through it her usually bright pink coat was a darker shade and was dull in saturation. She wasn't going to be some annoying hyper pony. She was going to rock the world with her new lease on life.

Somewhere deep inside her mind was a sad Pinkie Pie trapped in the mental prison that Pinkamena had constructed. Now Pinkamena was loose on the world as Pinkie Pie was caged in and locked up tight. She only hoped that her friends could tell that something was wrong with her. She wanted to be free and have her mind fixed. She didn't like it in the dark part of her mind. It was not a happy place and she was scared of what Pinkamena might be like to other Ponies. Even if she was an anomaly and not the real Pinkie according to some "big stupid meanie pants" she was still PInkie. She had her own life and her own memories. She had friends who loved her and Dashie she loved to chase. It was unfair she was being removed from that life just because she might be something created from the result of the Sonic Rainboom. So what if I am a creation of the mind, I am still me, I still have feelings and lived for many years. I still have friends who love me and a town to make smile. Please some pony any pony help me... I don't like it here and I know you won't like Pinkamena... she isn't a nice pony and I don't think she just wants to be friends with any pony at all.

____________________________________________________________

Sweet Apple Acres was quiet at night. Applejack was ready for a night of rest. She wasn't too happy with how distraught her friends were but if anyone could fix Rainbow Dash it was that canary mare. Big Mac was still sour that he got knocked out by RD but honestly he had it coming for testing a brash pegasus as herself. He wasn't bleeding or wasn't too roughed up buy his pride took two hits that day. One from being knocked out, the second from having his hit eaten as if it was spaghetti. He wondered just how deadly are the Wonderbolts if all their members are given some kind of super tough durability from extreme training. He wasn't too fond of the idea of warriors in the sky ready to take out any unsuspecting prey. Big Mac is a pretty tough pony but he knew better than to believe he was the toughest. It just bothered him that he was able to be taken out by the cyan pegasus because of her smaller frame and worried about what if she had really attacked his sister. His sister being pregnant and all wasn't really great for him. She was slowly becoming less active and her mood was swinging like a tire tied to a tree. Applebloom wondered why Scootaloo got to sleep over with Sweetie Belle and she couldn't. It was unfair. This was the first time that she was separated from the group.

Just as she thought that a surprise came in the form of two crusaders. "Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo... what are ya two doing here?" She said excited. Sweetie Belle had explained that Rarity had a sudden need to come over and brought them two. they were instructed to stay in Applebloom's room for the night while she "settled something with Applejack about their growing bond... it was weird but at least we get to hang out tonight." Sweetie Belle chirped. Scootaloo was still worried about his two moms. She was unfair to Rainbow Dash and hoped she would forgive her.

In Applejack's room a she was brushing her hair for the night looking into the mirror a presence broke her concentration. " I can't lie to you anymore Applejack... I must confess something and it might change what you think of me... this is unfair of me and I wish it wasn't true so I didn't have to make a fool of myself tonight... But I .... " She launched herself at the farm pony laying down a volley of kisses.

Applejack was confused and unsure of how to respond. Her mind was saying one thing while her heart another. She didn't know which to listen to. In the end she decided to follow her heart. All night long her heart won the battle right into the morning. Never stopping to listen to the brain once as she felt happy. It was a shaky new feeling to have but she wasn't going to deny comfort even if it came from an unexpected source. Whether this new found relationship would last would be up to the fates. She was just happy she had something to make her not feel so alone. Some pony to make her feel beautiful and some pony to hold. It didn't matter if she was a mare. it didn't matter anymore. This wasn't a first choice pick but it sure wasn't an unwanted romance.

Rarity was excited and scared. Sure she had just made the first move and ended up rutting her friend over the course of the night. But she was not going to be too picky. She was growing older and she wasn't going to be beautiful forever. Well according to her new lover she always would in the farm pony's eye. For a farm mare she was sure good with words. It wasn't lust filled or even romantic their session was just of need and comfort. Necessity drove these two mares together. But can necessity keep them together?

Rarity had her business to worry about and Applejack her new farm. Luckily the Cutie Mark Crusaders were being just as loud if not louder than the two mares which meant that they avoided any unwanted questions or interruptions. The only person besides the two that knew something was going on was Big Mac. His thoughts weren't so keen or fond. He was upset at his sister not because she was in the bed with the mare but this was the second mare he was interested in that wasn't a school teacher who was taken away by a mare.

Rarity was a stunning pony and he was waiting to stallion up and build the courage to ask her out. Unfortunately for him Rarity was more interested in Applejack's Apples. Still Fluttershy and Rarity were two of the finest mares in all Equestria and now he had to settle for Cheerilee. It wasn't as bad as he made it out to be but Cheerilee is older then the two younger mares he fancies and wasn't as attractive. Looks weren't everything but he was hoping to get a younger wife to have many children with. The Apple clan needed new blood with granny smith dead. Even with Applejack's incoming foal he wanted to have a child too. He just needed the right mare. He decided to leave the farm and just go stay at Cheerilee's for the night maybe he could get lucky and impregnate her. He wasn't into romance just getting his job done.

Lightning Dust was scared the entire night. She was expecting Rainbow Dash to burst through any moment and kill her. She knew she crossed a line and was going to have to pay. Still it wouldn't have happened had Rainbow Dash not stolen my spot on the Wonderbolts... she tried reasoning. All through the night the smallest of sounds would shake her to the core. Rainbow Dash articles had regaled the people with stories of triumph. She defeated dragons, hydras, timber-wolves and other creatures while touring with the Wonderbolts. They were part show ponies and part military. Lightning Dust still couldn't shake the look on the look on Fluttershy's face. It seemed to have been something that only a monster could make.

She was not only scared but now sad. She had shamed the memory of her brother by killing a poor creature in a plan gone wrong. With her nerves on edge she was unable to sleep. She thought she heard some creepy whistling and the sound of some pony coming closer.... she was going insane with fear and paranoia. Soon a young colt looking like her brother busted into her room and had a rotting body.. it's eyes had been dangling as the limbs were skeletal. "Sister.... you have... dishonored me... why?" It's voice so haunting and youthful sounding. It was all she could take... she turned the light on and nothing was there. She found herself soiled and cried in embarrassment and in shame. She needed some way to clear this self brought delusion. It seemed she needed to be punished for her crimes in order to feel right. She was just not sure she was the wrong pony in this situation. Rainbow Dash should be paying for this not me. I was the one who was robbed. Why did I have to mess up and be tormented by my own guilt? Why can't it be her paying for her selfishness. I am sorry brother I have failed you twice. Don't worry I will find some way to make her pay. I will get her back for everything she did. I will make her suffer....

With her new found resolve she was finally able to find the strength to sleep after cleaning her sheets and bathing. It wasn't her proudest moment but she was just being overtly worried. She wasn't sure why she was scared if her task was to continue to find ways to buck up Rainbow's life. After all she was sure she would have to face off with Rainbow if things got bad. She was able to keep herself well built even in the recent tragedy of her brother's death and yet that little filly socked her good and broke her jaw. It wasn't natural. Still as long as she could keep out of reach she was safe. She had to just count on her speed to save her. with that thought she finally went to bed and was slowly slipping into a dream. She could worry about destroying Rainbow's life tomorrow right now she was having one of those dreams and it was getting good.

Author's Note

So everything seems to be reaching breaking points. Clever huh ;0 anyways next chapter which will be worked on tomorrow will be about the change in reputations. With the new Pinkamena out and about things will surely be different in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash's first concert since her 'retire' and Rarity has to deal with Big Mac's opposition to her seeing his sister. Lots of 'fun' stuff coming up. Also if you haven't noticed already I really, really, really, really don't like Flash Sentry. The fact they made him as some sort of Shining Armor rip off and made the most uninterested in romance girl of all Equestria have a crush on him and all her friends shrugging it off like it's something common, just really left me with a sore spot. If it was something that was like an everyday thing than sure. But if one of your friends suddenly changes moods are you supposed to just accept that? Bah sorry for gassing on. Anyways new Chapter soon. My fingers are hurting from massively typing. XD but I do it for you guys. And myself.

Reputation

After a night of breaking down, the town of Ponyville is waking up to the morning sun. Ponies that usually were alone at night found themselves in beds with their friends. One pony has decided to start life a new with her identity crisis taking continuing to take hold and cause internal torment. Two ponies had reached breaking points and with the shattering of hearts and souls merged their pain and became one. Their hearts forever entwined and their souls mated. No longer was doubt an issue, nothing more would be an obstacle. Resolves pushed further as the two lovers proclaimed war on the entire world to protect their love. Their proclamation wasn't loud it was silent. A love charged session of erotic touches and body movements filled the night as their undying love was professed. Along that night was also a dark resolution a single pony wanting revenge, her desires are to see one pony suffer for a reason that wasn't valid. In her mind the suffering will be justified by her pain and loneliness. She had lost her brother and became vicious. After accidentally slaughtering a bunny she feared the worst. Still she can't give up till she can see her victim suffer. It was only fair after the humiliation she was put through because of the former friend's actions.

Today is the day of the Wonderbolts show. An all mare special. They advertised it as such since Soarin was being replaced with Mistyfly for this one show. The fans truly didn't care one way or another. The main pony in their eyes had been Rainbow Dash. She was the one who can perform the ultra cool feats and their loyalty has never faltered. After her hit in reputation from her drug abuse, drunk antics, many fights and scandalous affairs; it was still clear that Rainbow Dash was the top pony of the elite flying group. Many of the Wonderbolts were getting upset about this revelation. Spitfire had to hear multiple complaints about shows not being as filled if the team was lacking the main attraction. There were still fans of other members who supported their favorite pony with signs. Still some die hard Wonderbolt's fans who enjoyed any pony as long as they wore that costume and performed well. Just lately Rainbowmania was going wild. With her recent semi retired status hidden from media, it is going to be a field day when her lack of appearance becomes a target of news hounds and paparazzi alike.

Next week would mark the end of summer and that means the Wonderbolt Academy was going to open up again. This time Spitfire wasn't teaching but will be helping out Rainbow Dash for the first few weeks to get her settled. The true reason she wanted to keep Rainbow Dash around was because with her the tickets were hard to keep out of stock. Still she had to pull a military position and since she isn't going on tour to do shows or take care of issues around Equestria she had to do something to retain active status.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash awoke to the smells of breakfast. She hadn't felt like getting up that morning but knew she had to perform for the soon to be filled stadium of ponies. She had always enjoyed performing but the training and practices before it were grueling and punishing. Constant abuse to the body and only for the sake of perfecting techniques and routines. She noticed she was on her bed alone and for a minute feared the worse. The smell now registering as home made food it was a bit calming. She walked downstairs and with confusion on her face she yelled "Who the buck are you ponies and why the buck are you in my house?" She a bit more awake but with a tired tone. She hadn't spent the night sleeping as usual instead the night was spent rekindling a passionate relationship with tender and slow love making.

The three guests were startled but they sat still hoping the pony who gave them permission and promise of a breakfast would chime in and save them from what could be a dangerous situation. To their luck the calm and beautiful pegasus did speak up in hopes to calm her lover. "Rainbow Dash, I should have told you but I was busy making breakfast for everyone... it seems this pony along with the other visitors," she was regarding the Zebra and Gryphon, "are here to meet you..." she stopped and explained carefully the next part since the incident of last night was caused by allowing some pony into the house. "I know that usually you don't like fans invading your personal space but these ones have came from all over the world to meet you and tell you how much you inspire them, and I just thought it would be nice .... I hope you aren't mad,. are you mad?" She finished meekly.

Rainbow Dash eyed them carefully but their submissive expression was enough for her to relax. She carefully nuzzled her lover and kissed her cheek softly "Alright I am going to train a bit and shower off before breakfast. I will then spend some time getting to speak with them, if anything happens let me know..." She said warily still unsure of the fans. She didn't even say hi to them but they understood that Rainbow Dash wasn't the most perfect pony. Still each of them had a reason for visiting. Even though the Wonderbolts are primarily an Equestrian group they sometimes visit foreign lands to either perform or if directed by Celestia to aid the citizens. Rainbow Dash's fame was world wide but she didn't imagine it would be this dire. It wasn't like she hated it, just it didn't make sense to her.

____________________________________________________________

Applejack was shocked on her bed in her sheets, snuggled up to her very tightly, was a unicorn ... not just any unicorn it was her friend. She remembered last night in pieces. She was glad she was awake first so the other pony couldn't be embarrassed and try to separate too fast causing some potential harm to her foal if she was bucked in the gut while her 'lover' was retreating in hurry. Are we lovers, I mean shoot why did this hafta happen... Rarity, you silly pony, I'm not inta mares I appreciated the attention and I guess I got carried away. I hope this don' change nothin' between us
She wasn't sure if she could bring her thoughts forth. She was lonely and even if it was a mare's attention she was being appreciated. It wasn't easy to find someone that can make you feel good and know they mean it. Rarity isn't the kind of pony to play with one's affections though Applejack thought back to when the marshmallow pony was planning on seducing Rainbow, and also when her second plan caused Fluttershy to get her heart broken causing her to receive a healthy beating by the usually pacifistic mare.

Rarity was starting to wake feeling a stirring on her bed... this isn't my bed. She started putting her hooves on things to check for signs of her 'dream' she had last night being something more than a dream. She felt the farm pony's body and mentally checked for another presence. Her eyes still closed as she felt the sheets that weren't hers. She was afraid to open her eyes and see a farm pony there instead of some furry garment. She opened one eye unsure and saw a smiling Applejack. She was afraid she crossed some line and ruined their friendship... wait a second, Applejack responded back and we... we rutted... we rutted a lot, there is nothing for me to fear right? She looks so good when she has that smile. I can't believe she actually went for it with me. I mean I am beautiful but Applejack is something else. Her muscled body that cute thick accent, her soft hair... I want more of her... but I must see how she feels before continuing this senselessly. "Good morning Applejack..." She yawned out with her whiny voice. She wasn't a morning pony and was surprised that it wasn't as early as she would think the farm mare would wake up... that means they slept in and... they probably were caught.... Big Mac definitely did catch us but what about the girls.... what if Scootaloo tells Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Oh my what happened to those two. I have to make sure those two didn't kill each other or killed themselves.

Applejack saw how nervous Rarity was and sighed "I guessin' ya made a mistake last night. ya seem so nervous. Ah don' think any less of ya Rarity." She said trying to calm the nervous mare. Applejack felt her heart stir a bit. I seem ta be a mistake fer any pony. I jus' want some pony ta love. She was saddened and was starting to detach from the scene and move away not wanting to be so close to the other mare.

Rarity saw Applejack's face and yelled "Nooo... I am so sorry you think that Darling, I really am." She moved to meet with Applejacks face and kissed her on the lips as to say 'I had fun last night and I don't want you to think otherwise'. "I am sorry I worried you I just wasn't sure if we were caught or not. I don't want the crusaders knowing with their inability to understand mare on mare relationships. Well Scootaloo knows about it already but what about your sister and Sweetie Belle? They still don't understand that two mares can be together ... we are together right?" She rambled. She was half confused and half scared. It wasn't a pretty sight for anyone to see the usually refined and elegant unicorn being so jumpy.

Applejack wasn't sure how to answer that. If she said yes it could cause a lot of problems for the farm pony. Her brother seemed really upset about mare on mare relationships when Fluttershy rejected him because he wasn't Rainbow Dash. She knew that her brother might have fancied Rarity with how he looked at her but... does that mean she can't be happy since he wants her too? The other issue is how to inform Applebloom of it. Also if they got serious what would her other kin think? It wasn't going to be easy and with a foal on the way she wasn't sure if it was worth it. She was battling with her emotions and with her brain fumbling around for an answer she was gently pawing at the floor to give the other pony a clue as to her hesitance.

Rarity decided that she wasn't going to put it on Applejack and just kissed her forehead "It's ok Darling, I wouldn't want to make you more stressed than is. If you want me I will be around... if you rather stay friends that is ok too. I am going to go and open up shop. I have some orders to complete before the show today and now is a good time as any to start..." She was hiding her pain but at the same time displaying a fake smile that would make even Twilight cringe. "I don't regret anything and I really had a nice time last night. Now I shall be off I have to make sure the two 'love birds' didn't kill one another and I will be dropping Scootaloo off." She slowly walked to the door before looking back at Applejack "Just know if you are afraid to be with me because of my career, never fear, Applejack dear... I am always going to be near." She said in a fashion that would make even Zecora be stunned.

Pinkamena Diane Pie was already prepping and cooking baked goods. She had a fondness for cupcakes. Even if she rather not eat them and gain weight. She was helping the confused Cakes. They weren't sure what was going on but just passed it off as her trying out a new fad. Pinkamena wasn't as cheerful as Pinkie but still had her memories and knowledge. She could bake some delicious treats.

She also had her feelings and her obsession with Rainbow Dash. She knew that the rainbow maned pegasus was already in a relationship with they timid canary one. It was just bothering her that she even felt this way. I can't believe Pinkie was this into her friend. It is almost borderline creepy. Then again Rainbow Dash is a hottie. I would totally let her tie me up and spank me. I would love to tie her up... and just torture her... in a good way. Wait I can't be doing that. I mean if she and Fluttershy were to break up I could 'comfort' Rainbow Dash.

Unlike Pinkie Pie, Pinkamena was able to work more effectively since she wasn't always eating or distracted by five million other thoughts. She was able to make the morning goods at record time. The Cakes while confused and unsure of what is becoming of their worker, were elated with the new work ethic. "Hey guys there is this bitchin' event today that I am waiting to attend. Just so you know I won't be back till after it ends." She said with a tone that wasn't at all what Pinkie Pie sounded like. It was as if this Pinkamena was a brand new deal.

The Cakes were shocked with her language and became even more concerned about their usually bright baker. "Um.. ok Pinkie- " Was all Mr.Cake could get out before he was corrected by Pinkamena.

"It's Pinkamena ... Not Pinkie Pie... Pinkamena... got it?" She said with eyes daggering his own and her tone dark and overtly serious. They weren't able to figure out what exactly was going on But they knew they needed to have someone fix Pinkie Pie. They already felt the effects of lacking the pink party pony. It was her job to make others smile and with this attitude it wasn't going to be easy.

Customers started coming in and each time they saw the new pink pony it was hard for them to smile or even relax. She took orders correctly with out squealing or suggesting some ridiculous combination. She wasn't bright or cheery just plain and somber. Her mood was almost as if it was the antithesis of the former identity. She wasn't going around making others sad just not wasn't going to be the town fool for their amusement.

A grey pegasus with bubbles for a cutie mark entered the bakery with one goal in her mind... Muffins.

____________________________________________________________

Scootaloo was unsure of what she was looking at. The sight was not something she would expect at her home. Her timid mother was sitting next to her ex-mother? That isn't right. Rainbow Dash wanted to adopt me first. She is my mom no matter what. I need to let her know. But who the hay are all these ponies? It wasn't that they weren't close it was that they were boldly being affectionate while a group of fans were seemingly comfortable about it.

Rarity had checked on the two 'lovebirds' and gasped in surprise at the sight of them together. It was as if they had gotten married or just been through some kind of love rejuvenation class. The love those two ponies exuded made Rarity get upset at herself and Applejack too. We could be like that... I can be your mare Applejack... or you could be mine if that is how you want it. Since she felt it was safe to drop off Scootaloo and she didn't want to be interrupting whatever meeting they were having with those other visitors. She walked off and took Sweetie Belle home so she could get work done.

Scootaloo rushed to her mothers and hugged them tight who each put a hoof on her and returned the embrace. The scene was sickeningly sweet and the fans kind of felt like they were catching diabetes as illogical as it sounded. Fluttershy took her filly to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast for her. Giving Rainbow Dash privacy to talk with her fans.

"So let me get this straight you each trekked from parts of the world just to see me and let me know I affected your lives in a positive way?" She asked as if repeating the sentiment exactly on after they had introduced themselves and spoke of their journey.

The gryphon Greg was first to speak. "Rainbow Dash your ability to take on the sky and own it, is most impressive to our species. We are natural fliers and are hoping you can share the secret to your success with mastering the sky. I admire your speed and tenacity. I was inspired by the stories passed to us from other gryphons who visited Equestria. This is my first time here and so far this place is a lot more calmer than my home land. Since I know you can't share your secrets I was just hoping to meet you."

The Zebra Zuloa spoke next "I have heard of you from Zecora, when you arrived that one time I was astonished with your marvelous performance. I had a foal..." she slowly spoke the rest of the statement, "and she died before you came to our town. I hadn't smiled in ages. That night when you performed the Sonic Rainboom... it was the first time I was able to smile. My husband noticed a change in my attitude since that day. He has helped me gathered the funds necessary for this trip."

The third fan was a pegasus. He hailed from Las Pegasus. His story was more than Rainbow Dash expected to hear. "Well I was born with the knowledge I wasn't able to fly. I was told by doctors that I could never attain the ability to fly because my wings were useless. One day my father brought me to watch a group of elite fliers that he had admired and wanted to try and cheer me up. A little misguided attempt since how can watching ponies fly make me smile? I was always bullied and picked on. My family had to suffer because I was a broken pegasus. After seeing you fly around. I was envious and angry. I wanted to be like you. I wanted to fly." He spoke with passion before continuing softly, "you probably don't remember this but you came to me and asked me why I wasn't smiling." He said with a small smile that slowly spread into a grin "I remember telling you that I couldn't fly because I was broken. You don't probably remember this but you told me. 'broken things aren't always going to be broken, if that was the case you would be dead. Listen! I here you say you can't fly, I had a friend who said the same thing. Want to know something? I gave her the help she needed to fly. I see your dad, here, and he has capable wings. He might not be me but I bet if he tries he can teach you to soar just like me. I tell you what, if you ever do learn to fly I will personally send you an autographed poster of the Wonderbolts and a picture of me and you will be taken to commemorate such a feat. Just come seek me out when you have learned to fly.' that moment I had a spark in me and my body was suddenly lighter than air. A challenge to fly with a reward of being recognized for it." He said as the room was suddenly quiet and tears had filled the eyes of the Wonderbolt.

"Am I dreaming? This has to be a dream.... I mean I can't believe you guys came all this way to let me know that I some how had any part in making you happy or give you a dream. I just... I felt like such a buck up and thought I was just being a selfish mare. I can't believe that I was also..." She tried suppressing the tears but the joy she felt knowing that not all her actions as a Wonderbolt was just her bucking up. "I just am flattered by this. I am going to keep my promise to you also instead of you guys leaving so soon how would you like to attend a Wonderbolt's show today? " Before they could get too excited she even decided to offer to pay for their return trip. That moment was a great moment for Rainbow Dash and it was an even better one for the star struck fans.

____________________________________________________________

Inside the locker room of the Cloudiseum where the Wonderbolts changed into costume and got final preparations ready, Spitfire, Mistyfly and the overjoyed Rainbow Dash were getting ready for their show. The mood started right until Spitfire tossed some newspapers at Rainbow Dash with anger. "What the buck is this nonsense?" She said angrily.

Rainbow Dash looked at the articles and was visually upset. The articles detaling her return to Ponyville with Pinkie Pie on her back but in a contextual way that was making her sick. She read out loud "Rainbow Dash the mega star Wonderbolt seen in an aggressive stance towards the town's folks after being exposed as a cheating mare. The mare on her back, rumored to be her secret lover, fled the scene before questions could be asked. Since that moment no one has seen the bright pink mare..." She stopped reading the obvious lies and saw the pictures of her and Pinkie landing and the picture of her wings flared and her aggressive pose. She tossed it aside and fumed "Since when is my personal life the subject of others?" She asked disgusted that someone would take pictures of her doing everyday things and in her own personal setting of her home town. "The article is fake. I have no secret lover and I wasn't being aggressive. I was just angry that the town was giving me a look and not telling me what happened."

Spitfire grabbed another news paper with the article "Lightning Dust tells all. " She said with a look of fury. "Apparently the only reason you are a Wonderbolt is because you tasted my liquid flame and I tasted the rainbow..." She wasn't chuckling and her tone was dripping with sarcasm. " I know you don't care about your reputation but this is damaging mine too. I am supposed to be a Captain for Celestia's sake and this could be damaging to my career or even get me forcibly removed from my spot if enough members find me unfit to lead." She was grumbling.

Rainbow Dash heard the name Lightning Dust and eyes became red with anger "That bitch almost costed me my relationship and killed my bunny... when I find her. I will end her..." She swore with passion as her voice became grim. Her vow wasn't to be taken lightly as she was deadly serious.

Spitfire saw the fury in her team mate and decided it was time to calm her down before her emotions become the downfall of the performance. "Alright enough of that. I am going to send a message to all current active members to hunt and bring Lighting Dust to justice for the crime of slander, and murder. So focus on the show. We can get revenge later." She said bringing a somewhat smile to Rainbow Dash's face.

____________________________________________________________

Rarity was unusually close to Applejack, even though the Wonderbolt's personal viewing box was huge and spacious , Rarity had taken to being very close to Applejack. Her closeness made the farm mare blush. Rarity had decided that she was going to seduce Applejack and started by sneaking off to where Applejack sat and becoming intimate with her as the others were facing forward excited about the show.

Scootaloo and Fluttershy were sitting side by side waiting for their respective mother and 'wife' to do her amazing stunts and performance. They were accompanied by Sweetie Belle and Applebloom who wanted to be near Scootaloo. The guards outside the entrance were under strict orders to not let anyone inside the booth unless they had their names on the list. Security was tighter since Rainbow Dash wanted nothing to happen to her family or friends during her routine.

Pinkamena was sitting next to Soarin who decided to watch since he couldn't perform. She was flirting with him and keeping his attention while casually mentioning her last name to him "You do know my last name is Pie don't you?" She said in a sultry voice. She wasn't trying to actually get with him just wanted to make him ... smile.

Applejack was scared. She wasn't sure how she could handle Rarity attacking her in public like this. If something were to happen her reputation and the marshmallow one's could be ruined. While Rainbow Dash wasn't afraid to be a filly-fooler in public because of her stardom, it didn't mean that all ponies were accepting of it. After that morning she didn't expect Rarity to be up on her. She thought she had hurt the mare and was going to lose her as a friend instead something happened to Rarity that made her want to be with Applejack more.

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Rarity was heading back to her store defeated from the sight of seeing Rainbow and Fluttershy so happy after the events of yesterday. She wasn't upset just angry at fate that would allow those two to reconcile and yet... keep her from attaining her own joy. She hadn't slept with Applejack as a way of trying something new she had growing feelings for the mare.

As she was deep in thought Big Mac approached her from the direction of Cheerilee's house. "Had a nice night?" He asked with a wink as to insinuate he knew what happened. Rarity blushed and smiled softly "Well I did.." before she could relay how the morning didn't work Big Mac's attitude changed and he almost yelled out "Well that ain't going to happen again. I don't care for you being with my sister. She is a stallion loving mare and you just confusing her." She recoiled from that retort , baffled instead of being scared by it.

"Surely you don't mean that Big Mac" She asked as if maybe he was just joking.., cruelly. He replied with his famous catch line "Eyup," as if agreeing to having a meal or to selling an apple for a good price. It wasn't even a hint of remorse or shame for his public display of anger. She wasn't going to let some uncouth overgrown stallion tell her who she can romantically be with or who Applejack can be with... "Listen here Big Mac! You are lucky your sister is an amazing pony or I would gore you with my horn for even approaching me in this manner and telling me who I can't be with. I will not only be with your sister but... I shall make sure to make her scream my name loudly so you can hear it over.. and over... and over till it becomes stuck in your head." She spoke with an amused look on her face as his jaw dropped.

He didn't know how to reply to that and before he could protest her decision she walked off with her nose in the air and her tail casually sliding along his body to tease him with something he will never be able to obtain.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight Sparkle was on Celestia's cloud but instead of Celestia she was accompanied by the lamest royal guard in the history of Equestria. Flash Sentry who was insistent on being there to protect her had managed to worm his way into going as she decided to take him out for the day. She was still very much in love with the sun goddess but she knew that if she kept being too close to her in public.. it could ruin her reputation. It could also ruin Twilights too. She was supposed to be her own princess too.

So she conceded to the notion that she would have to spend time with Flash Sentry in public. It wasn't all bad, underneath the lame exterior and useless gusto there was something charming about him in her eyes. She wasn't as affectionate with him but she was starting to see herself with him. Her brother was a royal guard after all and he was happy with princess cadence and she was equally as happy. So maybe this guard can be something better if only just for the time he would live in this world. She knew no matter what in the end she would be with the eternal Sun Goddess. Just wasn't sure if she wanted that now.

So the show was about to start. Of course Twilight knew it was going to be a great show. After all performing great and being awesome was part of being a Wonderbolt.

Author's Note

So this chapter was sort of confusing for emotions some sorrow some joy and some feels. The next part of the The next part of this fic jumps to when school starts and I am going to have to add a dark tag since I noticed some things have been rather... grim and not as peachy. So a time jump happens and life continues on. The wedding still being planned out and the problems still ever growing. Diamond Tiara is still an evil filly and Scootaloo decided she isn't going to take shit no more. Will her new attitude and strength be a problem for her schooling? What becomes of Applejack and Rarity? Does Lightning Dust eat shit and die? Who knows find out next time XD

Teaching, Learning, Loving

Rainbow's house was quiet. Fluttershy had woken up to an alarm that wasn't loud enough to disturb her sleeping partner.
She kissed the rainbow maned mare on the cheek and smiled. She had grown accustomed to waking up early. Each morning, not on demand, she would wake up early and get her two joys in life ready for the day. She had to make a nice breakfast for her lover and take a relaxing bath with her. The bath was sometimes accompanied by some play time if the mood was right, sometimes it was just a cleaning experience. After the bath and breakfast she would groom her with resistance from the athletic mare. It wasn't uncommon that she sometimes wanted her mane unkempt because it was "Cool" and the days she was not to be bothered she had it like that.

After seeing helping her lover with paperwork and doing some of her own, mostly balancing check books and 'trying not to look so buckable' in front of her mare. She then saw her lover off with a kiss. Sometimes the kiss would lead to some hot petting and pawing but mostly it was tame. She had some time between that and her next task to make herself something to eat. She ate in silence and yawned into her hoof. She then was ready to help her little filly head out to school.

Waking up Scootaloo had become a chore as she started becoming more like Dash. More snoring and being grumpy. It was cute but also tiring for the yellow mare to constantly have to deal with Scootaloo's new found Dashness.

Scootaloo loved her mother and knew better than to give her a hard time unless she wants momma-dash to teach her what's what. It wasn't ever hard but being tapped on the head made her feel like a foal. She woke up looking at her beloved mother and smiled " I love seeing your face in the morning." she said with a yawn that just lit Fluttershy's world up.

Fluttershy had been a recent mother. It wasn't ideal for her since she and Scootaloo never bonded before. She initially adopted Scootaloo to help Rainbow Dash out. Even if that is how it started the motherly mare took to the filly and they became really close. Fluttershy had become a real mother to Scootaloo and even kissed her boo boo's away.

Scootaloo hated being treated so soft but secretly... she enjoyed being loved and cared for. She had been training with Dash lately since she didn't have anymore practice. The show went great and since the next one was too far away her mother declined for momma-dash. It was funny for the filly to see Spitfire beg Fluttershy to let Rainbow Dash attend the next show and just to see her mother put her timid foot down about it.

Fluttershy had become Rainbow Dash's manager and accountant and many other roles. It was a full time job being with her it seemed. She also was a mother and soon to be wife, which wasn't going to add any new tasks except for the possible new foal that was going to fill the empty room in the house. She was excited about all the things to come. But she was also busy caring for two grumpy pegasi and a lot of woodland critters. It was becoming a lot of work especially... with Angel bunny's death.

Scootaloo started helping out around the house and with tending to the animals since Angel bunny had been slain. The usually tom coltish pony was very calm and tender with the animals though hoping never to gain a cutie mark for it. Angel bunny's funeral was not an occasion for anyone who's heart couldn't take seeing Fluttershy cry. it was just waterworks central. Still that damn bunny was awesome once you got to know him and he stopped being such a prick.

Fluttershy went down stairs after drawing a bath for her daughter. She knew Scootaloo was old enough to shower or bathe herself which was more than could be said for the very needy lover of hers. Though she enjoyed bathing with her lover it was giving her a sense of bondage. She sometimes felt owned. She hardly was able to do anything alone. She tried to push those thoughts away because it would only bring hardship. She just wished she wasn't feeling that way.

Scootaloo groaned when she saw the bath had been drawn. She was in a shower mood not bath mood. She decided to just take advantage of the generous time saver and threw herself in. She quickly cleaned herself and checked herself in the mirror while drying her body. It was a rough attempt but she felt she was dry enough. She made her hair like Dash's own style but was corrected each time by her mother. Why can't I be like Momma-dash.. I bet if I was more like Dash I wouldn't be bothered by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. I wonder if with all that has happened if they will have learned not to be mean to others? Then again it's Silver Spoon and DIamond Tiara... they never learn.

Fluttershy finished making her filly's breakfast and made sure she ate it all. "You want to grow up and be strong like your momma-dash right?" She asked knowing the answer. She was still a fanfilly of Rainbow Dash at heart. But since they were closer it wasn't a problem.

Scootaloo finished eating faster in response instead of answering the obvious reply. She looked around for her pack after eating only to have it placed on her by Fluttershy who had this huge smile. "Mom... Are you going to walk me to school?" She asked hoping for a yes. She wanted to show off her new mother to everyone. She was proud of Fluttershy being her mom. Just wished Rainbow would one day fly her to school or Sonic Rainboom her to school. Though she would probably die from the amazing speed unless protected by some magical force like the time they fell from Cloudsdale that one day.

Fluttershy nodded her head before nuzzling her and walking her off. Fluttershy was enjoying her role as a mother and was hoping that her two special pegasi were enjoying their new roles. One as a teacher the other as a returning student. School was going to be heck for Fluttershy but if each day her hard work means a happy lover and filly what is the harm of constantly having to get up early?

Applebloom wasn't sure why suddenly Applejack and Rarity had been walking together to bring Sweetie Belle and her to school. It was not usual since they lived on opposite sides of town. Lately she has noticed Rarity sleeping over the nights Sweetie Belle was at her parent's house. She also noticed that her sister was sometimes going over to the marshmallow pony's house for late night visits and forgetting to return home till the morning. She didn't interrogate her sister about it mostly because she didn't know what interrogating entailed or what the word meant. She was still a little filly and learning was something she was constantly doing.

Sweetie Belle didn't mind hanging out with Applebloom, it wasn't like she was only friends with her by association as it first started. It used to be Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo just being friends till Applebloom joined them and they became the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She wasn't sure why her big sister insisted on walking her to school and accompanying the farm pony and the farm filly for the walk there. It was a new behavior but she didn't care. Rarity seemed happy and that was making her nicer to the sweet voiced filly.

Rarity had been purposely flirty with Applejack around Big Mac making him very uncomfortable. They had dinner together last night and when the pregnant farm mare offered desert the fashionista immediately replied with, "I would like your... apple pie" in a husky tone leaving Big Mac coughing and the farm mare blushing.

Applebloom didn't get why the offer of desert was having an effect on everyone but it sounded delicious. The farm filly enjoyed it when her sister made Apple Pie. It was something that reminded them of Granny Smith. They all missed her.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkamena's day had nothing to do with school or preparing anyone for it. She had no foals of her own and wasn't going to risk having one unless she was sure Pinkie Pie was gone for good. She hated being unstable. Night after night she would battle for control of her body. She was having strange dreams and constantly fighting her obsession with Rainbow Dash. She hated the fact her alter ego wanted Rainbow Dash to just even spend an iota of time with her that badly. It was sickening.

The pain of not being able to spend time with her friend was bugging her. She wished her other self wasn't such a stalker towards the rainbow maned pegasus because it made her want to stalk her. They shared memories and unfortunately desires. It was the pain of sharing a body with another soul. Though she wanted to stop wanting Rainbow Dash she also wanted to have her. Just once to 'taste the rainbow' if anything.

Ever since her shift into Pinkamena it seemed that when she and Rainbow Dash hung out it was awkward. Rainbow Dash would ask why was she sad. She had to convince Rainbow Dash this was who she was now. The cyan pony had looked shocked and felt guilty, Pinkamena saw this and tried hugging her. When she made contact Rainbow Dash hugged back because she was hugging a friend. To Pinkamena this was a chance to enjoy the closeness. The Pinkie Pie inside her mind was subdued and she was herself elated. She almost dared to sniff but felt she would get caught.

That happened a day ago... now Rainbow Dash was busy with the academy. Pinkamena needed things to do. Things that didn't remind her of her obsession.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight decided to move back into the tree house and resume her life as a Ponyville citizen. Spike returned as her sidekick/ number one assistant. She wasn't switching between castles while secretly having an affair with Celestia and dating her new colt-friend Flash Sentry.

Twilight knew day one after returning just how unwelcome Flash Sentry was. The town itself didn't have a problem with him. Some treated him normally, others with respect. The reason he wasn't welcomed was because Rainbow Dash made it obviously known that she despised and disliked him.

While they didn't live together Flash Sentry would sometimes be at her library to spend time with her. Other times he would be out and about town trying to offer assistance to anyone in need. He noticed the weather team was struggling at times and tried getting a job there. The weather manager though seemed to refuse his help without even meeting him. Supposedly the weather manager disliked him as well. He wasn't sure why, since he never met the weather manager and no one would tell him her name.

Spike on the other hand, was a mixed bag about the lame pegasus. Since he was used to being adored and cared for by Twilight it was upsetting to see her be all mushy and nice to some lame pegasus. He also didn't dislike Flash Sentry since to him he wasn't as upsetting. He knew Rainbow Dash just absolutely despised him which made him wonder if she was secretly in love with twilight or if the armored douche pegasus some how angered the cool athletic one.

Twilight was busy reading some books on psychology and other books involving psyche, persona, brain damage, and magical effects of powerful phenomenon. All these books because she was warned by the now distant Celestia that the element of laughter was fading. Pinkie Pie's 'true' self wasn't acting like the Pinkie Pie that became the spirit of laughter. The magic inside that element was now seeping off and slowly losing it's power. If it kept going in this manner and the elements were needed it would be bad.

She noticed her other friends have gotten closer and was happy, most of her friends didn't mind the addition of Flash Sentry to group outings or picnics. Fluttershy herself was torn between being kind to Twilights colt-friend because it would bother Rainbow, and being not so kind to him because it would make twilight sad. Twilight herself understood Fluttershy's position. Just wish Dash would stop being so stubborn and get along with Flash. Flash.. Dash... hmmm odd

Twilight noticed how distant Celestia got with her. No longer would her letters be so warm and no longer would she make time for her. She thought an immortal goddess would be mature enough to be able to accept her student being with another pony. It bothered her because she didn't even choose Flash Sentry over her. She chose Celestia's duty over her. She didn't want to shame the royal queens over a scandal. She knew darn well that when she was around Celestia she was wanting to put her hooves all over her body. That flank .... I miss that flank. I just wish ... no Twilight focus on the duty at hand. We need to fix Pinkie Pie.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was feeling pretty good about her new job. It wasn't too much work and she had breaks and a lunch period free to spend time with her mare. Though it was tiring day in and out working two jobs, it was rewarding to feel like she earned her vast amount of wealth. Since her talk with Fluttershy about her spending recently they had decided that Fluttershy would handle the money. The athletic superstar was almost hesitating at first. She didn't like letting someone have access to her account but realized that when they got married it wouldn't have mattered anyways. Still it was Fluttershy. She trusted her future wife with everything even her wings.

Spitfire was upset, visibly so. Her office was emptied out and a sign was now where her name used to be that was labeled "Rainbow Dash: Best Wonderbolt Ever." She was fuming. It wasn't like she didn't expect her office to be given away but for someone to just remove all her things and make themselves comfortable within the first day was just... never mind, I am the one who gave her the job so I might as well get used to her being the top dog of the academy. Though I just wished she had a little more respect for me being the captain. I can't believe she just tossed my stuff out and made herself home. She already has her foot on my .. her desk. To further her infuriate her the door seemed to be locked.

"Who is trying to enter the mighty awesome lair of the super cool teacher Rainbow Dash?" She asked out in a big voice as if mocking a drill instructor. Spitfire was pissed off but Rainbow didn't care. Soon she would be meeting the new recruits of the academy. She would know what it is like to decide for herself who is worthy of being a Wonderbolt.

____________________________________________________________

Fluttershy arrived at the school and had met up with Applejack and Rarity. She had wanted to go to the spa today since she hadn't gone in a while. "So Rarity... can we go to the spa today since it's ready for business again." She said timidly while pawing at the ground. She was hoping the usually busy unicorn would make time again for her.

"Why sure darling, it has been a while. Is it alright if Applejack joins us?" She asked casually not putting any tone behind it that would indicate how much she wanted Applejack to be there. It was mind numbing how much having feelings for someone was causing extra work to be done just to see them without being obvious about it.

The canary mare smiled "Sure that would be great... I can't wait for her foal to come out. I can't wait to have one of my own too. oh.. oh my" she finished and blushed. She wasn't supposed to tell anyone. She just leaked out information. In public no less. It seemed dangerous to do so with the rampant paparazzi hounding Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Anything they did would some how make news unless done at home. The ponies of Equestria were too interested in some pony's life and it was just absurd.

Rarity lit up like a Christmas tree and in her most dramatic and excited voice she gushed "Go on darling, do go on." She wanted more information especially since it was juicy. She was glad the fillies were already making their way inside because this news wasn't meant for little fillies to hear. "So how are you going to conceive? Are you going to use a donor... or just let some stallion rut you in a three way? Or will you use magic? Don't keep secrets from us. We are your friends aren't we Applejack?" Rarity bumped into Applejack wanting the farm mare to help.

Fluttershy's face was crimson and she hurriedly excused herself and ran off before she could be pursued with questions. The farm mare turned to the marshmallow pony with a disappointed look. "Rarity how ignorant can ya be?" She said angrily and just walked off. Rarity wasn't going to let her get away with her being mad. "Apple dear... stop... I am new to this whole pregnancy thing. I never had a foal as you know and I never have been around a mare who wasn't pregnant from a stallion... I guess I forgot about her situation for a second.... Please forgive me" She said pleadingly.

Applejack melted like butter and hated herself for being easy on the fashionista. It wasn't fair that she could easily make the farm mare smile and move on from small fights. I need some kinda defense against Rarity's voice She just nuzzled her gently after making sure no one was around. She wasn't ready to spill the beans about her new relationship. It was something she was still figuring out. She knew it wasn't right of her to be dating another mare when she was into stallions. She just didn't want to be alone.

____________________________________________________________

The cutie mark crusaders were together in class but not sitting together. Cheerliee had set them up with different seats this year and decided to put Applebloom next to Dinky. She placed Sweetie Belle next to Silver Spoon. Lastly as if asking for a bad school year she had paired Scootaloo with Diamond Tiara in desk placement. The pairs were immediately at arms except Dinky and Applebloom.

Silver Spoon was not next to Diamond Tiara and was too far away to have her back or be supported in taunting the blank flanks. She looked at Sweetie Belle who just smiled at her and it made her sick. Why is she smiling at me... doesn't she know I don't like her stupid blank flank self. I wish she would stop smiling at me and would stop using that cute voice to talk to me. I want nothing to do with her.

Sweetie Belle was optimistic, maybe she could make a friend out of Silver Spoon. Since the seemingly rich pony was usually a follower maybe she could learn to follow some pony else. "You know we don't have to be enemies... I mean one day I will get my cutie mark and then what will you hate me for?" She asked. The question was one with too much logic and common sense for Silver Spoon to be able to handle.

She thought about it. I guess... I can hate her for ... being adorable... yeah stupid adorable Sweetie Belle. Wait what? I can't hate her for that because that would be weird if I thought she was adorable. She can't be adorable can she? Adorable voice... check, adorable demeanor... check, adorable face... damn it.... I have no good reason for disliking her besides that Diamond Tiara does. I hate logic. Stupid adorable Sweetie Belle.

On the other side of the room was Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara. Diamond Tiara felt uncomfortable around Scootaloo. She was going to start making fun of her but noticed just how much her body changed since training with Rainbow Dash. She didn't know why but looking at Scootaloo made her feel weird. The filly was packing some muscles and Diamond Tiara wasn't so keen on making fun of someone who looked like they could take out a timber wolf. She still had to make her bitch quota for the day otherwise the universe would probably erupt into madness and Celestia would die from the lack of evil in the world. Her job was important she decided so she resolved against all logic to instigate the muscular filly. "Hey there blank flank. I noticed you been working out.." she was unsure of how she was sounding but that didn't sound like an insult. "I mean you are getting bulky... what you trying to do become super blank flank?" She finished a bit relieved with how she was able to stop herself from saying something nice.

Scootaloo just gave her a look that said... "you..." with her foreleg flexed a bit using her muscles as intimidation. She knew the new muscles that were building up was to help her achieve effortless lift off. She had been growing stronger and faster as a result of the training. She was already able to hover a bit and sometimes fly for a while but she wanted to fly like Rainbow Dash could when she was a filly. Her wings needed more work and so she would constantly train each day and get a massage from her mom before Rainbow got hers for obvious reasons. " So Diamond ... I just have one question for you. Would you rather it be now or later that I beat the tar out of you for being such a bully?" She even leaned over while Cheerilee was looking away from the class "Because if you like I can show you just how super I really am?" she meant it in a tone of intimidation but it came out as flirty. Damn it I been hanging around Momma-Dash for too long now she is going to think I am trying to get with her... wait... is she blushing...

____________________________________________________________

"Alright cadets. I know you know who I am otherwise you have been living under a rock for the last year, but I want to make sure you remember who I am in case you some how managed to forget it." She said while getting really close to each cadet's face looking for a sign of fear. She wasn't trained for this kind of thing especially with her voice not being as intimidating as Spitfire's but luckily she can alter it a bit to make it sound rougher. "My name... and please do make sure you know it... is Rainbow Danger Dash, though you will address me as Ma'am and when asked a question I want to hear a ma'am yes ma'am or a no ma'am no. If you answer with anything other than that I will personally see to it that you spend your lunch period scrubbing toilets am I understood?"

The resounding "ma'am yes ma'am!" Was like music to her ears. She wasn't sure about these new cadets. Sure some of them looked like they would be able to handle the normal tests needed to make it into the Wonderbolts, but just as she learned it isn't all physical. Being the best flier means nothing if you emotionally or just mentally unstable.

She looked at one of the cadets really hard and they started to wilt. It wasn't fun being intimidating... well it kind of was but she wouldn't admit it. She had to get these maggots in shape so they can achieve something. "Alright you are all here to be a Wonderbolt. Let me tell you something. Being a Wonderbolt isn't just about being the best. It's about being the best while remembering that you are still a pony. Once you forget that you are a pony you will become a monster."

Suddenly with the most sickening voice she could muster a pony that Rainbow Dash didn't expect to see ever again had decided it was time to settle their differences. "A monster like you Rainbow Dash?" Lightning Dust was tired of being chased. She was charged with slander and murder. Her life had been hell since then. She expected she would be disliked for her article but never thought that accidentally killing a bunny would lead to murder charges. She didn't see how that was even possible but she forgot one thing. The power of media. She was labeled a monster and the bunny she killed was 'like a son' to Rainbow Dash and her marefriend. Legally it was impossible to be convicted for it. The media wouldn't leave her alone and neither would the wonderbolts. They pursued her endlessly. She had to dive into dangerous areas to barely escape them. She was out of hiding spots and her family abandoned her. All she wanted was to hurt Rainbow Dash and in doing so she became the most hated pony in Equestria. She had only one course of action now. She had to beg for mercy in hopes she could be left to live a life. The slander charge was freedom of speech protected and the murder was bogus because bunnies weren't ponies. Animal cruelty would be at least five years if the trial was even given and done fairly. Since she knew that the ponies in jail would most likely violate her in the worst possible way or even worse kill her with no recourse to worry about, it was unsettling to think the only way she could make it out of this in one piece was to throw herself at the mercy of the one she aimed on ruining.

Rainbow Dash could sense submission even with Lightning Dust's stupid statement. Her ears were lowered, she was visibly shaking and firmly planted herself on the ground. Rainbow Dash approached her feeling her primal need to dominate her. It was her calling as an alpha mare. "So you show up instead of continue to run and hide. Why the sudden change? Scared they would send me to chase you next? You know if I had been pursuing you it would have been a pointless chase. So when you realized you were crap out of luck you come here and for what? To turn yourself in? Or beg for forgiveness?" She snorted in anger and stood over the other mare.

Lightning Dust was sobbing in pain of being starved, dehydrated and tired. Her body was literally almost giving out. She was refused food and when spotted chased by angry mobs. Not everyone was a Rainbow Dash fan but. Her capture had hefty rewards as she was officially on the wanted list. She looked as if she suffered ten hells all at once. She was without pride and only with shame. Her heart pouring out in plea with her voice faltering as she begged. "Please Rainbow Dash... Please forgive me... I don't want to suffer anymore. I know I bucked up royally and I will do anything to make it up to you and your mare... just spare me. I haven't eaten or slept in days... I can't stay in one spot for too long without being chased. I had to do things to survive I am not proud of... I am not asking for you to forget what I did ever... just please... find it in your heart to forgive me... I swear I will find some way to repent and redeem myself. I just need you to please help me... I can't go on like this... if you don't help me I am going to die..." She sobbed while waiting for judgement.

Rainbow Dash was at a loss. She wanted revenge and yet... this was just not... what she had in mind. This wasn't Lightning Dust it was a pathetic mare. Some mare who had suffered constant torture and humiliation because she decided to do something heinous in retaliation of her brother's death. Rainbow Dash had found out about her brother's death when the family came forward publicly disowning her so the media would leave them be over it. Rainbow Dash felt like any mistake someone made towards her was instantly punished by her fans... it wasn't a good feeling being this influential because of fame. She didn't want mobs of ponies hurting another because they disagree with her. It was just ridiculous. Yet this pony nearly costed her relationship, ultimately it was strengthened cause of her actions. Why am I thinking like this? I can't forgive her she killed Angel bunny. What can I do though. Can I be heartless and condemn her to the living hell she is going through or can I be merciful and forgive her.... Damn it shy what should I do?

No matter the decision it would be a hard one to make, then again making hard decisions is part of being a Wonderbolt.

Author's Note

Oooh dilemma what to do? what to do?

By the way I am not sure if I am shipping any CMC with anyone. Though I am a fan of Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon fan fics idk if I want to dive into that. The idea of Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara came from a turn around idea where the one being bullied bullies back but harder. Thinking of making some dark moments in this fic using Scootaloo's new strength and status as a way of making her into some bully. Still shit will be going down next chapter.

FYI: I am not keeping Twilight with Flash Sentry... I hated it Canon and I hate it Fanon I am only using Flash Sentry for now as a conflict for Twilight I know it sucks being given a heads up but I just don't want anyone to think I support Flash/Light. I hate Flash Sentry. I will be making him suffer in this fic ... and if I continue this series (which I plan to) I have a perfect way to kill him off next part of this epic multi fic story. I already have the third fic in the works while working on this. My head is amazing XD

Requiem of a Fallen Failure

Ponies Equestria is full of them. Regardless of how many mares or stallions inhabits this land it's always sad to see one die. It's even sadder when the death of the pony was pitiful. Fallen from grace before even rising. She wasn't a heroic pony, or a valiant one. She had guts and charisma. She was heading places. She had hopes and dreams and a noble goal. She was going to be someone that could have been respected by all.

Her funeral was a quiet one. Not many showed up. The only ones there was the priest and a rainbow maned pony. No one else cared. She was all alone and it was because of her bad choices. The usually energetic and happy cyan mare was holding flowers in her hoof sitting on one of the many chairs not used. The service was paid for by the athletic celebrity. For only she could care about some pony who she almost became.

A canary mare approaches wearing an outfit suitable for a funeral and nuzzles the rainbow haired one. The silence of the grave yard only more deafening by the lack of eulogy or ponies. it was wrong. Even if she was made public enemy her family or friends should have been here. "How come I am the only bucking pony to be here... she doesn't deserve this..., no pony does." the raspy voiced mare shouted with tears spilling. She was wearing a black tux that was designed by her friend it wasn't because she identified as a male it was because a tux wasn't as frou-frou as a dress. Dresses aren't cool. She only did cool.

Well now she did sadness too. The emptiness of the moment just destroyed her invisible emotion proof armor. There was absolutely no other ponies besides the two mares and the one stallion. The rainbow maned pony blamed herself and her fame for this injustice. She was witness to the recently deceased pony's final moment. A heart wrenching memory that was to be forgotten but couldn't after all she forgave the offending pony but can never forget her.

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Rainbow Dash was debating to forgive or to condemn the pony before her. Lightning Dust's actions were heinous and the most offending, but with that the retaliation from her fans and pursuers were even worse. According to the failure cadet she was chased across Equestria for days on end. Unable to properly feed or nourish herself. She was forced to do things that were generally frowned upon in society. The story was sad enough but the sight and smell of the offending pony was bringing the reality home to Rainbow Dash. This was some pony who just needed to be forgiven and let her life move on. She was, from the looks of it, very remorseful. Not only she had learned a lesson about revenge but she learned about humility and the price of not letting things go.

She couldn't continue being mad at her even if she wanted to. It was not like Rainbow Dash was perfect or without sins. She had done her fair share of bucking up and seeing how this mare was a reminder of what could have been it was only right she at least forgive her and try to allow the pony some form of redemption. If anything forgiving her might just help ease the frenzied fans from doing something crazy. The fame was bugging her now. Sure Lightning Dust was in need of punishment but for her fans to go this far and drive a pony to this kind of state was appalling. After her mind stormed on for a couple of minutes she realized she was still in the academy and had to teach. She had no time for sour grapes or for hating some pony who was on the brink of death. She needed care and forgiveness stat.

"Lightning Dust, as much as I hate myself for saying this, I forgive you... I will never for-" All she was able to get to before she heard something and saw something that broke her heart. Something that burned into the very recess of her soul and obliterated what emotion she was trying to express.

Lightning Dust breathed her last words "Thank... you..." before dying in front of the new cadets... a visage that burned in their eyes and made some stomachs erupt spewing waste through the mouth. the act of regurgitating wasn't a fitting way to express how disgusting this event was.

Rainbow Dash felt sick... it was the worst thing ever to see. To know that in her final moments all she wanted was someone to forgive her. someone to care enough to forgive her for her misdeeds. It was too much. Rainbow Dash covered her mouth to protest the cries that her betraying eyes allowed out. The tears poured out endlessly. She didn't like Lightning Dust, she didn't have any bond to her. The sight itself was enough. To see some pony brought to the edge of life and slip off just as she had elation in her heart. It was the worst thing ever.

Spitfire had arrived on the scene... it was tragic. Some students left the academy that day. Some were sick, others tried steeling themselves. Spitfire looked at Rainbow Dash who was just sitting there crying. Misery was cast like a net over the rainbow mane super star. Spitfire could understand the pain. The poor pony was young and she was a rising star in her own right able to match speeds with the unusually fast pegasi that was crying over her. The mare was youthful and beautiful in her own way. She had the charisma and the guts. She was just as young as Rainbow Dash and was the very idea of Rainbow Dash if she wasn't blessed by friendship.

Spitfire just trotted close to crying mare and whispered gently to her "I will go get Fluttershy for you...I want you to take the week off. I will have Fleetfoot fill in for you while you relax... I am sorry newbie.. I really am." She started flying off away from the scene that was just too sad to be around.

____________________________________________________________

The funeral was held in a field where Pegasi got buried since they can't be on kept on the cloudy city post mortem. The timid mare held her lover tight and whispered words into the cyan mare's ears. It wasn't sweet nothings or lustful desires it was just words to help her. The death of a pony is never a celebrated event. Even enemies should be mourned. The rainbow maned pony cried more with the words being heard in silence. The mare realizes how lucky she is that she wasn't the one in the position of the deceased mare's last stand.

Another pony joined in the funeral this one was wearing her uniform as if honoring a fallen comrade. In another world that would have been true. Had the flaw of the deceased weren't found then she would have been where the cyan mare before her sits. It wouldn't have been too similar the out come but the gist was there. She doesn't yell but salutes. Even in death the failure wouldn't be forgotten. Not by the two ponies who caused it. In their eyes they were guilty and should have been punished for it. The world disagreed.

____________________________________________________________

The funeral was held a day after the pony had died, the sky was mourning along with those ponies. The weather had called for rain coincidentally it was light rain but rain none the less. The sky itself was shedding tears and the ponies decided to bathe in the tears of the never ending blue.

The funeral ended and the family of the mare showed up, the family that disowned her. The rainbow haired pony was furious about this. "You bucking bastards.... how could you just do that to her... she was your daughter... she was your family... She didn't deserve this..." She was livid being held back by her lover and by the pony in uniform.

The older mare and stallion didn't respond, they knew they were responsible as well. They were cowards. They had lost a son and was being harassed about their daughter. They decided it was best to just appease the mob and take the easy way out. In doing so they ensured their daughter's death. The rage of the cyan mare before them wasn't lost on them. They deserved the hateful spews. They just didn't know why the rainbow haired one was angry. Finally the stallion spoke "Why do you care anyways? You are the one who made it hard for me to call her my daughter... This is as much on you as this is on us. Now let us mourn in peace. I just ask to be alone with my wife while we deal with the lost of our last child. We have nothing left in this world but each other now. So I beg you... just go and let us have our final moment with our child." He pleaded with tears openly pouring down his face.

The screaming pegasus stopped. Those words hit her like a solid brick to the chest. She was speechless and felt defeated. With that plea she respected it and left. The canary mare following and the uniformed one following. The old couple watched the three mares leave before turning back to the casket. They silently moved close to it before they hugged each side of it. They cried tears of sorrow and guilt. Their shame was publicly made known when they openly let their daughter go. It wasn't as if they had a choice. Now they faced the loss of their only child left. They were broken ponies. All because of revenge. such a stupid concept. Lives ruined over jealousy and regret. They wept openly as the sky wept with them.

____________________________________________________________

Hard cider. The only cure for misery when nothing else was working. Rainbow Dash no longer had any emotion to use up for the day. The death of some pony who she could have been like was the worse thing ever to see. It felt like part of her died. They even looked similar and had similar abilities. For all intents and purposes Lightning Dust was Rainbow Dash and vice versa.

Fluttershy could only watch as her lover poured glass after glass of hard cider into her throat. It wasn't even subtle. She couldn't stop her because she had no way of helping her. She knew lovey dovey snuggle time was out because the mare didn't want to be touched. Sex was out of the question because the lack of mood. Words only pierced her heart more with guilt and sorrow. She just waited by her mare's side waiting for whatever she needed her for.

Scootaloo was once again forced out of her home by adult problems. She wasn't so sure what was going on but she was told that she had to go crusading or something. These moments in her life confused her because how can she understand what it's like to be an adult if she is constantly being treated as a foal.

She decided it would be best to just walk around town not really in the crusading mood. She was already flying and could just feel the cutie mark incoming. It wasn't going to be easy to find out what her destiny was but she could feel the amazing thrill of bursting into the sky. Though she can't fly far or too high yet she sometimes when feeling brave will fly around town. Though it usually ends up with her crashing it doesn't hurt as much. Her body was getting stronger with each day it's like her body was catching up to her mentor's body at the age. Her body wasn't becoming super strong but it was getting more durable each intense training session. The careful break down and build up of muscle was only further enhanced by her mother's careful massages that eased the muscles and allowed them to develop more naturally. The build up wasn't as much as she wanted. She couldn't fly as far or fast as other pegasi her age but she was slowly getting there. It would take time as well as patience. Her muscularity was surpassing normal ponies her age so Rainbow Dash decided it was time to focus solely on wings and proper dieting. Too much muscle wasn't good for aerodynamics.

Because of her new body she was being checked out by fillies and stallions her age. She wasn't sure what her sexuality was because she never was one for emotions or romance. She just liked the attention none the less. No fillies or colts had been brave enough to ask her out. Since she was the child of a star it was extra intimidating to ask the usually self reserved pegasus out.

As she was strolling along she noticed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and decided she could go mess with them. They now were scared of her, well one of them was scared the other was... scared and liking it? It was weird but since yesterday morning Diamond Tiara would always get Scootaloo mad and make some face with her cheeks going red before running off. It was almost as if she was excited to see the strong filly get angry.

"Well if it isn't the spoon and hat two useless things that adorn your flanks." She had recently come up with a counter to being called a blank flank. She had thought of how their flanks had cutie marks of useless things in pony culture. It bothered them to no end and since the other crusaders have heard this they use it too. "So what are you two losers up to?" She asked bored and wanting to stir some fillies up.

Diamond Tiara whispered something into Silver Spoon's ear. Silver Spoon ran off looking a little scared for Diamond Tiara. Still Silver Spoon is a follower so questioning the one giving orders wasn't her forte.

Scootaloo wasn't sure what was going on but was ready for any surprise attack. "What the hay you trying to pull Diamond.." She said while flaring her wings to show she wasn't to be bucked with. The display had a different effect on the usually snotty and rude pony. It didn't make her scared just more interested.

"I sent her off so we can be alone Scootaloo." She said while walking slower to the angry pegasus. She got right to where there muzzles met and closed her eyes. "I have something I want to tell you.." She leaned in and opened her eyes when no pony was there. The trail of a blushing pegasus was apparent and she was alone with a crimson face. " That damn Scootaloo."

____________________________________________________________

Night fell, and Fluttershy was carrying a drunk and unconscious pegasus on her back up the stairs. She was glad that she had started working out and going to the spa again. The spa does wonders for the body. her light work outs are to prepare her for the eventual foal she was planning on carrying. She wanted to have her body be ready for such a daunting task after seeing Applejack suffering through hers. The spa trip wasn't the same with Applejack there. Fluttershy almost felt like a third wheel. That would mean Applejack and Rarity are dating... silly Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity? That is funny... is it? I mean they were really close, Rarity was rubbing her belly and talking about how great it will be to see young Appleseed when he is finally due. I guess a young male foal would be able to counter balance the mostly female members of the apple clan. Still Rarity and Applejack... I need to talk with Rarity about this. I can't let her hurt Applejack and with her recent rise in notoriety and customers it can be... like Rainbow Dash all over again.

She had finally carried the pegasus to their room while her mind had rolled on into pointless thinking. She wasn't going to confront them right away as she had other things to take care of. She had an unstable pegasus on her hooves and a young filly as well to be cared for. She gently put the cyan mare on the bed and kissed her cheek avoiding the mouth that smelt like booze.

She then made sure the little filly was tucked in for the night. Fluttershy was about to leave when she heard a question she wasn't ready to answer. "Mom... what is it like to be with a mare instead of a stallion?"

Fluttershy wanted to disappear at that moment but her body didn't have the magic needed to turn invisible. "Dear, why do you ask that?" She said slowly unsure of what brought this on. She wasn't going to lie and say it was perfect but wasn't going to say it's the worst thing ever. After all unbeknownst to anyone but herself ,and Rainbow Dash, This relationship was her first romantic one. She never have been with a stallion romantically and the only mare she had any interests in period was the one on their bed who might need to be woken if something had happened to their young daughter.

Scootaloo rubbed her eyes a bit and yawned. "I just... lately this girl has been acting like Spike ,used to act towards Rarity, around me and it is confusing me. I mean she is this mean girl who used to make fun of me for having a blank flank and now she is trying to kiss me and stuff." She explained.

Fluttershy... was wanting to kill that hussy. Wait the hussy is some filly.. I can't kill a filly.. Oh Fluttershy you are too protective. "So why do you ask the question then if you aren't into her... you aren't into her are you? You are oh I am sorry" she was acting like the Fluttershy of before. Pawing at the ground unsure of what was going on

Scootaloo was blushing "I don't know.. I ... I don't know mom.. I am confused because I thought stallions and mares were supposed to get together but you and Momma-Dash are both mares and you both are together. So like.. is it wrong for a mare to be with a mare? If not then how do I know if I am supposed to like stallions or mares?" She sighed while looking at her mother for a clue.

Fluttershy was unsure of how to answer this. Damn it Dash the one filly you wanted to adopt was a sexually confused one. Now I have to try and explain stuff... Shoot!

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire was at a bar.. she was with Mistyfly who got all attached because of their recent gig and rutting. Spitfire wasn't that into Mistyfly but she was growing on her. Though Spitfire wanted to mingle with some singles she kind of enjoyed sharing a bed with the same person every night. They weren't that deep into the relationship to be doing so and yet it was Spitfire who was the one that started the tradition by inviting Mistyfly night after night to stay with her. They weren't due for another show since Rainbow's mare didn't let her go to the next one which means they wouldn't be able to sell the tickets and just decided to take a breather, especially since she was prepping Rainbow Dash for the academy and well that is how she ended up here at the bar.

She was drinking some liquor wanting to forget the pain of what she saw... the memories of that time she exiled the young failure cadet. Over something as simple as attitude. She ironically allowed the unstable one to stay when mentally she was the one unfit for the prestige. She kept drinking the liquor to drown the pain and memories. She had inadvertantly killed Lightning Dust. No way she could think otherwise. Mistyfly was looking good too and she was nuzzling the drunken mare infront of the other patrons so they knew who she was going home with. Damn possessive mare ... I might dump her after giving her one last hurrah... nah ... I shall keep her around until she bucks up. I kind of like having someone want me this much. Though I am drunk so I am probably not thinking straight..... or gay... I can't think at all. "I just need to rut Mistyfly and go to sleep." she thought that last part out loud and hadn't realized it. The bar patrons were choking on their drinks and some others were blushing.

Mistyfly was half offended about being talked about in such fashion but was also aroused at the prospect of rough drunk sex with her lover. Spitfire wasn't into love making not most of the time at least. she was into rough and fun sex. Mistyfly can keep up so they work. They weren't romantically sappy or about love just fun and good times. Though Mistyfly was sure that Spitfire was falling for her even when she tried to make it clear she wasn't. Drunk Spitfire was a fun Spitfire. Especially in bed.

____________________________________________________________

The morning paper all across Equestria had an obituary that read as followed

Lightning Dust 21

Even though she never got to see her true dream realized, or her hearts ambition answered she was a pony who was dedicated to being a Wonderbolt. She was misguided in her anger and unfortunately through a series of mistakes she ended up being distant from her family. She was a young and energetic mare who was taken from the world too soon. In spite of her final choices she made in life she was still someone to be respected. Her heart may have been corrupted but it was still a pony that wanted to show the world her stuff. Regardless of how some may feel about her the Wonderbolts decided in memory of this fine cadet that she be deemed an honorary member of the Wonderbolts will never be forgotten by those who cared for her. Rest in peace Wonderbolt Member Lightning Dust.

Rainbow Dash read the paper and smiled a sad smile. She had paid good money for this obituary to stand out from the rest. She wanted it on news papers all over Equestria. She was coming to terms with what happened. In her final hour when all was lost and death was coming to grab the failure cadet. She just wanted to be remembered ... to be forgiven. Rainbow Dash could forgive and never forget. Because forgiving those who wronged you, is part of being a Wonderbolt.

Rainbow Dash looked in the sky and saw an image of Lightning Dust. She didn't look angry or upset instead she had a smile on her face and attempted to reach her hoof out to Rainbow Dash wanting a hoof bump. Rainbow Dash gave her the hoof bump she denied her that day. Their hoofs never connected though as the ghostly image faded into the light. She was gone and crossed over. There wouldn't be anyone like Lightning Dust... regardless of her final days she was still a pony.. a pony with hopes and dreams and wants and desires. She was some pony that just needed a friend. "Here is to you friend... may the magic of friendship reach you wherever you end up. I know I wasn't your best friend but I hope you are comforted by the fact I will always think of you as one. You helped me more than you know by being you. I know it sounds bad but I mean it. You were determined and I was too. You wanted what I did and I needed that rivalry. I just wish we could have kept being there for each other and pushing one another through and through. I would have loved that. I am sorry your life had to end like this. I am sorry you died just as you finally got what you wanted... but know this as long as I shall live I will never forget you ... Lightning Dust.. my friend... the Wonderbolt.... rest in peace and may the wind guide your wings in the afterlife." She said while tears slowly poured down her face. She had a week off and nothing to do with it. She was just going to try and relax. She closed the door and her eyes.

A day dream played in her head. There she was with Lightning Dust they were both flying at sonic speeds just enjoying the company of another pony as they flew towards the sun. Lightning Dust smiles and says "isn't this fun Dash?" She answers back "Yeah it is." Then the race ends and they tie. Rainbow Dash sees Fluttershy and looks to Lightning Dust. "Well I got to go my mare needs me ... so one day let's race again... I know it will be a long time from now... but I hope we can race in the future." She said with hope. Lightning Dust chuckles "Of course we will after all we will have to finally decide which one of us is the better Wonderbolt. Until then though... enjoy your life Dash and keep on surpassing the limits of the world."

Rainbow Dash opens her eyes with soft tears slowly descending. "I will ... "

Author's Note

So like that happened.... I was honestly not expecting it when I was originally planning out how the situation would be resolved but something told me that any other way wouldn't make sense. Lightning Dust had to die. I hated killing her off in such a way but I felt it was just needing to be done. Anyways sorry for the feels canon. I threw in some possible Scootatiara so it wasn't that feels heavy and had some light hearted almost romance. Anyways since the sad and dark tag are there and I haven't written about the other ponies much this chapter I might try to do a chapter about fixing Pinkie Pie... or not. I still don't know how to resolve that since, I first have to decide if what is right for Equestria matter over the right of an indiviual to live as her own self. That kind of deep thought just bugs me and I must play it out right. Stuff will happen next chapter... stuff.

Identity Crisis

The sun was staring down at the world brightening the subjects of it's mover. Ponyville train station was lit up by the sun as the ponies who were planning a get away were prepared to board a private train. the reason was a vacation of sorts. Not just a regular vacation as only ponies were going to be leaving Ponyville for a weekend retreat.

Scootaloo ensured her parents that she would be fine without them for a weekend. The over worrying timid mother was reluctant to leave her daughter in the care of the farm stallion who agreed to watch the Cutie Mark Crusaders for the weekend.
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were happy they all could be together for a weekend basically unsupervised since Big Mac was going to be busy with other chores and tasks. They waved off for ponies who desperately needed to have a get away.

Fluttershy wasn't too happy about leaving Scootaloo behind but she insisted on staying behind to be with her friends. At least that is the story she came up with when refusing to join her family for a weekend together away from Ponyville and the rapid increasing paparazzi and fans. She was still worried about what Scootaloo had gathered from their talk. It wasn't as if the little filly was ready to handle such a revelation. Someone should be there to guide her.

Rainbow Dash was shocked that Scoots didn't want to spend time with her. She knew that the little filly was some what capable of flying at low heights and decent speed. She wasn't sure what Scootaloo was up to but she wasn't too worried since the filly could handle herself if anything came up. After all she was the one who broke... No Rainbow Dash don't think about that... this vacation is to relax and spend some time with my lover.. it was a family trip and some how it turned into a couples retreat... though the other couple joining us are awkward about their relationship. Well power to Applejack for putting up with such a drama queen.

Rarity, the drama queen, was over packed as usual she had a nice little dress on to wear on her trip. She had two reasons for going on this retreat. One it was for her to spend time with her new found lover. The second reason was to do some business abroad since she was now on demand. She was going to try and divide time between her lover and her job. It was dangerous territory doing so since that meant Applejack would be alone and Rarity was unsure if some stallion would come sweep the farm mare off her feet. Even that muscular farm goddess thinks she is ugly the foal in her stomach suggests otherwise. Maybe stallions may not want to be with her but they obviously want to rut her. She isn't meant to be rutted by anyone but me now... stupid job. Stupid bits.. But my work is getting ever so popular and Photo Finish is eating her words right now. I wonder if I could get Fluttershy to model my new ensembles for me. Rainbow Dash might not like the idea of cameras around... stupid famous mare.

Applejack was just going to enjoy her weekend away from Big Mac and his anti filly fooler nonsense. He was adamant about the farm mare breaking up with the fashionista and that just wasn't going to happen. He was acting like a foal because the mares he desired were taken by other mares. That dangum fool has Cheerilee eating out o' his hooves and he upset about me bein' all involved with Rarity? At least he got his act together and stopped being such a foal when we needed him. I jus' know he runnin' out o' time with Cheerilee if he want them foals of his to even become somewhat a possibility.

Big Mac himself was watching his sister and her... lover leave. He was at first very against the idea of them two being together for multiple reasons. He didn't like the fact his sister took his crush away regardless of how it came to be. The second reason is because the Apple clan have been taught by old timers who were raised against the idea of filly-foolers and colt-cuddlers. His third and last reason was because he didn't trust Rarity to not take off into the sunset if fame came a calling. Though he saw something recently that made him change his mood and start to let love be love.

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Big Mac was done working for the day and decided to go inside the house to get something to eat. His target was some dinner. He was expecting Applejack to cook since he was still doing his chores and helping the new workers learn the proper bucking method. He was shocked to find dinner wasn't cooked and sounds coming from up stairs.

He was ready to holler at them for a good minute and possibly suggest that Rarity leave so the farm mare could get back to her chores. He wasn't a sexist but chores are chores and they all decided on which ones each member would do to keep the house as smooth going as the farm. He heard soft moaning noises and realized they were probably rutting... of all times to be rutting.. what if Applebloom was here.. them mares are out of control.

When he approached the room he noticed something different going on. It wasn't sexual at all. Rarity was gently massaging his sister's belly as Applejack cried in pain. The foal was acting up inside her womb and causing a fuss. It seemed the elegant mare was just helping his sister to endure it by being there for her... I can't hate on this... I can't even be against this... this is love, regardless if it's against the natural order... this isn't something I can very well be against..

He had a soft smile on his face as he left just as quiet as he approached. He was glad he didn't stampede up there possibly causing some potential harm to his sister from panic. He was just going to go eat elsewhere. Cheerilee did offer me a spot at her table anytime... I think I will cash it in now. he sniffed himself and decided a shower was in order.

____________________________________________________________

As the train started leaving a silent member of the crowd sending off the couples was Pinkamena. She was constantly being asked by twilight to allow her to be examined. She knew that could only mean that Twilight has found a way to make Pinkie Pie the mind controlling the body they shared. She wasn't as gullible as the happier persona. She wouldn't let any pony do anything to her against her will... Except Dashie... I would let her do anything to me... even if it was out of hate. I would let her cut me open and rip out my heart if it meant she was ultimately happy... I wish there was two of her so I could keep one all to myself. I would do such vile things to her. I would make her feel so much pleasure, and intense pain. I would be her goddess and her mistress all rolled into one fine package. My body is slowly becoming thinner and I am going to be getting my form sleek. If only Fluttershy were to die so Dashie could feel all alone... No wait I can't think that... She is my friend too. I need to relax. They are going to be gone this weekend. That means I can find some other pony to be with or obsess over. If only Pinkie wasn't so attached to Dash... Gah... stupid sexy Dashie.

Twilight, who wasn't allowed to bring Flash along, found herself wanting to go to the trip too. She would enjoy a weekend get away. Since it was Rainbow Dash paying for the whole affair with her recent earnings from the latest show she did before the Lightning Dust debacle, she wasn't allowed to go if she was bringing the annoying royal guard along. She was bummed that Rainbow Dash and Flash didn't get along. It wasn't Flash who was having the initial problem it was Rainbow Dash. She was being stubborn and not even giving him a chance. She would have to question her some time when she returned. Since she was gone that means Pinkamena would be alone ... no one to protect her from Twilight's task. The princess had warned her that something was wrong with the Element of Laughter and to investigate the problem.

The problem seemed to be that Pinkie Pie was trapped in her own body locked inside a cage in her mind. Twilight had no idea about it but she knew something was wrong. She had used the rejection of her being allowed to go along with Flash to utilize the time and entrap the pink pony. She was making a choice for Equestria's sake. Regardless of how the pink pony felt it was not her choice. Equestria comes first. So with a plan in mind she was going to need Flash Sentries help. With Rainbow gone and no one strong enough to out muscle Flash Sentry besides the already busy Big Mac. She could force out the old Pinkie and get rid of Pinkamena.

The train started moving out of sight and all the ponies started splitting up. Pinkamena was going to the park to enjoy some time off. She had one day off and wanted to spend it with Dash she planned it ahead but unfortunately the Lightning Dust debacle caused Dash some mental strain so her 'wife' took care of her. Oh Dashie I just wish it was me your heart desired. I would make you feel so amazing. I would lick your body even if it wasn't bathed. I would let you do anything to me... but alas Pinkie was too much of a coward to let you know what you truly meant to her. Since I have to accept I can't have you I will just need something new to make me smile. Before stupid princess useless decides I need to go. Something tells me she is going to try to use this time to make her move. I will just have to be one step ahead of her.

Scootaloo and the girls were going crusading for the day. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were really excited but Scootaloo had another reason she declined her parents invite to spend the weekend away. She wanted to find out her sexual preference alone. She would feel awkward having to talk to Momma-Dash about it since the talk with her mother Fluttershy didn't go so well. It was awkward.

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Scootaloo had a red face as her mother explained all about the birds and the bees. While it was all informative it wasn't answering her questions so she reiterated. "Mom.. while I won't be able to unlearn what you just taught me, it doesn't help me figure out if I am supposed to like fillies or colts so my question to you is... how can you tell that you were attracted to stallion if you are with Momma-Dash?" The question was like a conspiracy waiting to be unraveled.

Fluttershy blushed and pawed at the floor. "I ... I.... saw a... " she couldn't finish her sentence. It was so embarassing to be in this situation. She wanted to tell her daughter but the shame was eating her up. "I saw one in a magazine.... I was hitting puberty and I ... I had... I had hoofed myself to a stallion in raw form." she said out loud and hid her face in her bangs, her face crimson and she was slowly trying to work up the courage to look ahead of her. " You must hate me now... I am so shameful." She started tearing up.

Scootaloo groaned "Mom you know I don't hate you and will never hate you... I love you mom. I just wish it was easy to figure out without having to ... look at that. you know?" She said throwing her hands up in a shrug. The little filly wasn't feeling too easy with trying to get a look at a stallion's 'raw' form. It wasn't ideal nor was it going to be easy to attempt to aquire such an image at her age. It was just an uncomfortable thought.

"Alright mom I have better question... if you were into stallions then how come you and Momma-Dash are together instead?" she asked as if not understanding why Fluttershy who is clearly attracted to stallions is with her former idol turned mom.

Fluttershy had to make sure Rainbow Dash was asleep before answering. "Well... when I was a young filly.. as you know I was shy." she said as if it was something unheard of " So I was always weak and scared, colts would bully me and fillies would too just not as bad. Rainbow Dash... she saved me.. from them and their taunting. their aggressive approaches and even from unwanted attention. She was like my very own hero, knight in shining armor, and guardian all compressed into an amazing package." She was beaming, her face was lit and pure joy emitted from her face.

Scootaloo was understanding a bit. Dash was awesome to many people but to Fluttershy she was amazing... something beyond the normal scope of pony understanding. "So then... she was your true love since fillyhood?" She questioned while rhetorically so at this point.

The canary mare just smiled as she continued on as if ignoring her daughter. "She was always telling me to smile because it brightened her day. She would always spend time with me, help me learn to fly, and when truly alone from the world we would sing together.... her voice wasn't great but it was the best thing ever for me to hear her pour her soul into song. I was ... I was hers... nothing more could matter to me if I was around her. She made me feel worthwhile and loved. She did it without even knowing it. I think she and I were meant to be since we met. I loved her since the day she called me a friend. So yeah... if you must ask why I am with a mare instead of a stallion, it is because that when true love comes to surface, gender has no role in it." She said with her heart pounding from the sensation of the memories. She wanted to wake up her lover and spend some quality time together just because of the memories playing in her head. "So with that said Scootaloo I think I am going to wake up my knight in shining armor and let her know that I am happy we are together... I suggest you get some sleep young lady." She said softly before turning off the light and leaving the room.

Scootaloo was thinking about that conversation... So if love is stronger than sexuality what is the purpose of having one? She decided to forgo thinking and just sleep the night. She was pleasantly surprised she was able to go right to bed but the prospect of one day finding some special some pony and loving them regardless of their gender made her feel that maybe love wasn't such an awful thing. Though she also remembered she was just a kid and now knows about sex... her mind battled her body and soon sleep came over.

____________________________________________________________

Scootaloo was hungry. She knew the house was locked and the keys were all secured by Spitfire who was more than willing to check on the house to make sure no one broke in while the lovebirds were gone. She was staying in the base with Mistyfly and Soarin who decided to be a team for the next show. Since the routine was a simple one and they had no overtly dangerous stuns to co-ordinate they decided to just relax and keep their bodies in shape. So since Scootaloo was hungry she wanted to eat something sweet, She knew that Pinkamena wasn't working but she also knew Pinkamena liked her.

She wasn't sure why but Pinkamena actually got along with her out of all ponies. She was also getting along with Dash and some other ponies but most of the town's folks were not into the new persona. She was supposed to be some happy go lucky pony and yet the way they were treating her made Scootaloo not blame Pinkamena for not caring about her 'destiny' as life isn't just about doing what you are meant to do it was about living it as well.

She settled on going to the park in hopes to find Pinkamena. The other two crusaders decided to go to the farm for a snack. It was a perfect moment to be alone while searching for the usually lonely and dark looking pony. She wasn't liked much by most ponies which pissed Momma-Dash off. She didn't care if Pinkamena was who she was that was still her friend. Scootaloo decided the same thing to be true. No matter what if Pinkamena was really here to stay then she was going to be given a chance to be a friend.

She found Pinkamena sitting under a tree in the shade while reading a book. She was certain that Pinkie wouldn't read books in the park when she could be inventing some new treat or something and was glad the hyper pink pony wasn't around. She didn't dislike Pinkie Pie but she didn't exactly enjoy her company as much as other ponies did.

Pinkamena looked up when she heard some pony approach her and smiled softly. "Hey there Scootsie, you need something?" She asked in a some what passive tone. her usually tone was of monotone or anger and since passive worked just as good for Scootaloo it just meant she was happy.

Scootaloo's belly grumbled and she blushed lightly "I was hoping you would take a late order for your friend? I could really go for some delicious baked goods." She beamed a smile at Pinkamena.

Pinkamena liked the ambitious filly above all other fillies for two reasons. She was like Dash Jr and even if Pinkamena wasn't a foal-molester she was still happy to be around the little dash. The second reason is because unlike most ponies she was one of the first few willing to give her a chance and get to learn her new personality. Especially since I came bucking first. Stupid Pinkie Pie ... her fat ass is loved by this whole stinking town and since I can't really go elsewhere I have to be here and try to make others smile... smiling is gay anyways. I like being poker faced. Plus I make Scootaloo smile and I think that is enough for me. What is the quota of smiles per day I need to fill out for some stupid Element of Harmony to not start fizzling out on magic? "Alright Scoots but you have to pay the Pinkamena price for the special deal. Come on... give Pinkamena a hug." She said knowing it would bother Scootaloo to be giving out hugs to any pony besides her parents.

Scootaloo sighed and grumbled before giving the emotionally ambivalent pony a hug, the same pony that decided to rub her head. "There can we go before people start thinking I gone soft?" She asked. She wasn't against hugging in private but in public it was embarrassing for the tough mini dash.

The mare let the filly go and smiled "You know... I wish I could have a foal myself and have it turn out as awesome as you kiddo." She said in her non pinkie manner. She walked with Scootaloo to the bakery and hoped that no one else would want an order from the pink baker.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight was thinking about how to approach Pinkie Pie... Pinkamena whatever. She noticed someone fitting the description of the pink pony walking with a young dark orange filly with light purple hair. "Flash... get ready it's go time.. We are going to get my friend back." The passion in her voice and the intensity of her commitment of retreiving her friend from whatever nightmare she was in made Flash smile in delight. Spike on the other hand was unsure of this whole situation.

"What if you guys are just wrongfully ending the life of a pony who just seems to want to live?" He asked to see if Twilight understood how her choice would affect the pony they were trying to send away.

Flash interrupted Twilight before she could respond "Listen Spike... Equestria is in danger so Twilight has to make this tough choice... I am sure it isn't easy for her-" he was going to continue but Spike cut him off.

"Really? You aren't bucking serious are you? You know she saw the letter and decided already once meeting Pinkamena... it wasn't a thought out decision just decided 'Pinkamena must go and Pinkie is going to stay', did she even tell the other girls? I don't think so, I think she is going to do this without anyone's consent. I bet Celestia wouldn't have done this." He said spiting out the last part in disgust. "Well if you need me I am going to hang out with some morally ethical ponies and not be here with the two of you." He walked out leaving two stunned ponies.

"Hey Scootaloo... I was wondering. Do you think I am better than Pinkie?" The forlorn and darker pony asked. "I mean if you had to choose between me and her, who would you rather have around?" She was against putting ponies on the spot but wanted to know how the filly really felt.

Scootaloo chuckled "Pinkamena.. you are Pinkie... at least my Momma-Dash says so. Just because you aren't 'superific' or hyper active doesn't mean you aren't the pony that she was friends with. To be honest I think I would like a mix of both ... it's unfair as an answer but I think if you both found an easy medium it would be nice. " She said honestly and as thoughtfully as she could while eating a cupcake. "Honestly though if it had to be made a choice between you two. I would choose you. Unlike Pinkie, you don't try to be friends with every pony. The thought is sweet but in reality it is a moot goal. Not every pony will like a certain pony." She finished the cupcake and smiled. "So I hope that answers your question... are you sure I can't pay you in bits?" she asked while eyeing the dull pink pony.

Pinkamena just smiled "Thanks Scoots, and no charge... you paid me enough with your words... for a filly you sure are insightful." She was smiling a bit and feeling like maybe things would be alright until she saw Twilight Sparkle and that loser guard who's name escaped her. Was it Pash Flanty? Brash Smantry... Something like that oh well.

Twilight looked around and noticed only one obstacle from her goal. " Hey Scootaloo can you wait outside while the grown ups talk?" She asked in a uneasy gentle tone as if something bad was about to break out.

Scootaloo wasn't going to obey commands from some princess of 'friendship' that just wasn't in her list of things to do this weekend. "Nah I rather stay here because I am hanging out with a friend." She said defiantly and even in a tone that suggested the Lavender mare could buck herself if she thought otherwise.

"Look kid... she is a princess you should obey her." Flash Sentry said angrily. He was appalled by such disrespect. He was taught royalty was to be respected at all times. He wasn't enjoying the filly's rudeness.

She just chuckled "She could be a dragon for all I care I am not leaving this shop it doesn't belong to her it belongs to Pinkamena and the Cakes. If Pinkamena wants me to go I shall go. I know you love bowing to royalty Flash Panty... but I am not some whiny, weak, pathetic, failure of a royal guard now am I?" She asked which shockingly earned her a punch to the face and was sent flying back.

Pinkamena rushed to her side and saw blood coming out her mouth. "What the buck is wrong with you... " She was going to charge at him but smiled instead "I just can't wait to let Rainbow know what you did. If you think anything I could do to you will be painful just wait till I tell the reckless and dangerous Wonderbolt that you attacked her daughter." She said threateningly.

Twilight was trying to process what the buck just happened. Scootaloo refused to go outside, then Flash sweetly defended my honor, Scootaloo gave him the business, Flash attacked Scootaloo... flash attacked a filly... That isn't like him... I don't care what she said that was wrong... Oh god... Rainbow is going to hate me... I have to fix this. "Wait... we don't have to tell Rainbow anything do we? I mean Flash is probably really sorry..." she wanted to say more but heard a spitting sound and an angry filly.

"What is wrong with you? You are seriously trying to calm me down and not tell my mother and Momma-Dash about this? You must be bucking kidding me... you try to come here and force Pinkamena to 'talk' with you and your failure guard... then you expect me to just forgive him after he hurt me?" She was crying the hit hurt but the lack of care the Lavender mare was giving off was worse. "I thought you were my parents' friend. The sad thing is I thought you were nice Twilight.." She said sadly and with a hint of disappointment.

Twilight yelled back "I am nice.... I just.. I am still me and I am still a good pony I am just doing what I have to do for Equestria... and Flash made a mistake it's nothing to get worked up about..." She said as if she meant it. The issue was that Twilight wasn't ready to face an angry Rainbow Dash. Magic is amazing but in combat it's worthless if you can't see or hit the target. Surely once the cyan mare hears about the incident bones would most likely be broken as retaliation.

Scootaloo laughed after spitting again in disgust "You are nice? You are the worst princess in all history. You tried forcing someone to be someone else just because it fits in your world. If Equestria was really in danger I am sure the four powerful Princesses could handle it... The wonderbolts and the Equestrian army as well. Not everything can be solved by six mares wearing magic jewelry... " She said with venom dripping at every syllable. "You think you are nice? You just tried protecting a stallion who hit a filly... how is that remotely nice? Because he is the one you love now? So because I love Pinkamena, as a friend, I should allow her to murder you and not report it right? Since after all I am just trying to be nice. Nice people protect abusive jerks who hits fillies? Your definition of nice is bucked up. " She was fuming. Just when Twilight had the gall to attempt any sort of verbal retaliation she was hit with a cannon in the form of a verbal trump card. "I might be a filly fooler... I might be into fillies and not colts... Should I be killed too Twilight? I am not a pony that fits in your world ... should I be eliminated since I might be into the wrong things? I might be the wrong Scootaloo? What if I was like Pinkamena? What if the real me was finally freed but she wasn't like the Scootaloo you love and care for? Would you then force me back because it doesn't suit your needs? Ponies aren't your play thing... now if you would be so kind as to buck off and leave us alone... I think it would best give you some place to hide before my parents return and you find your colt-friend missing limbs. " She said with finality.

Twilight the usually composed mare was astonished at the words that came from the filly. She saw Pinkamena's grin and Flash growing in anger. He looked as if he would strike again. "Come on Flash... we are going to the Crystal Empire... we will be safe there."

Flash looked upset but was more shocked than angry. "You are kidding right? You can't seriously fear that Wonderbolt that much can you?" He was brimming with anger, in no way should any Princess fear any of her subjects. "Listen you are here lets just do what you have to do, erase the filly's memory and be off... they won't be able to tell Dash and you won't have to hide out in the Crystal Empire... " He said as if the plan was just a normal day thing.

Twilight felt sick. She had not only realized what she was about to do but the reality of it turned her stomach. She was just trying to please Celestia by doing a task that was set out for the lavender mare to complete.., Why am I so desperate to please Celestia... it isn't like I want her back... I can't be with her... but Flash just hit Scootaloo... that isn't right... what should I do... I can wipe her mind but it could also wipe other memories.. and if I force Pinkie Pie back she would still tell Rainbow Dash... I bucked up. I can't be here.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight had gone to her tree house and started packing. She grabbed whatever she could and started yelling for spike. "Spike... Spike we have to go... I messed up today big time... We need to get out of Ponyville... right now!" She was frantic trying to get whatever she could and getting out of dodge.

Flash was grumpy "Listen you are royalty and I can protect you... why do you fear a subject of yours... surely an immortal like yourself has not to worry... it's not like you can die by regular means right? Isn't that why Celestia lives." He tried reasoning with his mare. He wanted her to feel safe with him around. He felt like a failure for not being able to make her feel protected. He knew he would have to be able to display he had what it takes.... maybe if I could beat the tar out of Rainbow Dash she won't be so celebrated... Twilight would feel safe if I could take out the Wonderbolt... I guess that is what I will have to do.. for my princess' sake. I will defeat you Rainbow Dash. We shall meet at the Crystal Empire... and when I defeat you I will have you banished from Equestria so you no longer become a problem to this land.

____________________________________________________________

Canterlot Castle was a grand place where nobles and lords of all kinds would beseech the princess of Equestria for an ear to be lent. Celestia was worried she could tell something was wrong. She had hoped that giving Twilight that task wasn't too daunting for the new princess. It seemed the Element of Magic was off and even worse she had read a letter that was disturbing her. She read on and it was detailing some sadistic plan to revert the party pony to her 'original' state. Spike had revealed the plan failed and Twilight fled to the Crystal Empire he wrote that he went to investigate why and found out that her royal guard had assaulted a young filly who was defending the pink mare. It was awful to read. She knew she had to do something as a princess. But as a pony with her own emotions and her own selfish desires that she could never act on in a normal capacity, she was hoping that Flash Sentry and Rainbow Dash would end up in combat. She could see it happen in her head. She would already know the outcome. While a royal guard is a powerful combatant nothing matches the pure destructive capabilities of a pony unable to destroy mountains and cities in one burst of speed.

" Kick his ass Rainbow Dash... " she said to no one in particular... it wasn't going to be fun knowing that Twilight would end up hurt as well. Maybe it would teach her a lesson in choosing her cohorts wisely and about not trying to force events into taking place. The rainbow haired warrior was going to crush the royal guard. After all being bad ass and able to take out any foe is part of being a Wonderbolt.

Commitment

A private train rented by a celebrity, the center stage for a ride through the wonderful continent of Equestria. The destination was not foreign to the passengers but the destination is never the goal, the journey is. Time felt slow and with time needing to be spent the two couples partake in some passionate activities.

Rainbow Dash waited till the train was a good distance from Ponyville before the hungry pegasus tackled her lover onto the bed. It wasn't gentle at all. She was hungry, like a predator she secured her prey and began attacking. Sensual licks and bites all across the victim's body. She was going at it with full gusto. The mare beneath her was quivering and panting in delight.

Sex Incoming Skip ahead if it offends

The dominant cyan mare did not let up. She slid her tongue down the canary mare's body eliciting a moan from her prey. Her desires were burning up her body the heat and passion exuding with each passing moment. Her tongue acting as a weapon as it struck the submissive mare's defenses. The stimulation caused a smell to arise and sweet liquid to trickle from her prey's marehood. The shy mare beneath wanted to close her legs to hide her shame but the cyan mare wouldn't allow it.

Fluttershy could only gasp and moan as she was invaded in her warmth with a violating tongue constantly digging into her mare hood. She was enjoying the feeling of being dominated by her lover and even more so that it was done with passion and not fear. She mewed out responses of pleasure signifying her enjoyment. She was moaning a name out, the name was echoing off the walls and her face went crimson from ecstasy and embarrassment. She had hoped her loud moans weren't heard by the other couple of the train but lost in the moment she hadn't realized her marefriend was now preparing to bring her over the edge. She stopped her musings as she felt a tongue slip out and whined. "Don't stop... please," she almost begged as she was feeling immense pleasure.

The rainbow maned daredevil was giving a wicked grin "As you wish my love, but now I must turn the dial up to max." She said before shoving her hoof into her mare's slick folds. She used her tongue to attack the nub while her hoof continued it's movements causing the mare before her to start shaking in pleasure. She wasn't quite finished with her yet. She moved the hoof out and suckled the nub with disregard of the loud noise the mare panting before her was mewing. Soon she claimed her prize the sweet honey between her marefriend's legs. Lapping it up and guzzling it down as if it was life saving.

The canary mare lay still panting and looked forward to be met with lips from her lover. The taste of herself made the timid mare blush as she kissed the offending mouth and allowed it to take her. She felt a tongue invade her mouth as she started reciprocating and running her hoof over her future wife's back. It was slow and gentle touches counter balancing the earlier rough and predatory touches. She was working her magic on her lover and it was working. She started moan out requests into her lover's mouth begging for her to obey them. She wanted her positioned so she could enjoy her without her seeing it.

The cyan mare trusting her mare but never heard such a usual request got into position as if waiting to be mounted. She didn't have to wait long as flow of hot air went into her mare hood causing her to squeak. She wasn't sure what her marefriend was up to but decided it must be good if the anticipation was this strong. She backed her marehood towards the air wanting to feel something. She gasped as a mouth encircled her tunnel and slowly started kissing it. Her eyes widened as a tongue snaked it's way deep into her folds. She was enjoying the sensations but also secretly wanting to be taken by her mare. She wasn't into being submissive but this was feeling intense. She moved her hips back and her lover took the initiative.

Fluttershy began eating her partner out while gently rubbing a playful hoof across her soulmate's nub. The reaction was powerful as her lover started screaming out in sheer ecstasy. Her body was shaking as she was on the bring and Fluttershy whispered something to her loud enough to be heard but soft enough to make it sultry. "I want you to beg for it Rainbow Dash... beg me to make you explode." She said while inside battling herself over her sudden burst of dominance.

The athletic cyan mare was too aroused to care about being dominated, Damn it Fluttershy you are so awesome. I can't believe you have this side of you. I love it. "Make me explode, please just do it I don't care what it will cost me just do it." She begged like a mare in heat.

The canary mare was too stunned by the response to react, realizing it was probably sheer torture for her lover she dove in and suckled her lover's marehood while stroking the inside with her tongue. It was so bold of her to insist on her lover begging and it payed off. She was rewarded with her lover's orgasm and a taste of Rainbow. It doesn't really taste like rainbows but I am not complaining. She greedily slurped the juices up before backing away and fearing some kind of back lash for her daring move.

Rainbow Dash panted heavily, her orgasm was intense and it was beyond comprehension. Fluttershy, my Fluttershy just made me submit and I freaking came hard... sweet! She looked back and beckoned her intimidated lover over. When the timid mare got close enough she was grabbed on the bed by the affectionate cyan mare. "I didn't know you had it in you babe... I love you Fluttershy." She said before passionately attacking her lips devouring them with love and tasting herself.

The canary mare was stunned and kissed back with more passion. Love fueled kisses led into more play, soon two exhausted pegasi were in each other's embrace and loving every second that dare pass by.

Sex over peeps enjoy.

The canary mare look above her at the mare resting on her body. She pushed their faces together and nuzzled her before hearing something that made her heart warm even more.

"Fluttershy... no matter what happens this weekend. I just want you to know I am going to like it because I am with you... I love you Fluttershy so much." She said before lightly kissing her neck and laying still. The canary mare responded with the same sentiment

"Oh Rainbow... I love you so much. I am happy... I can't believe we can finally be happy... if just for a short while.. It doesn't matter because I know we will always have each other. We will stay together forever... because I want this and you do to. I need you in my life and I love you more than anything in all the known world." She said with complete and total honesty.

The dominant partner lightly kissed her tender mare with passion. " let's take a nice nap my beautiful blushing bride to be." she said as she slowly nuzzled and cuddled her lover tenderly wanting to relax for the rest of the ride. Fluttershy just smiled and held her lover close both of them drifting off into some well earned sleep.

____________________________________________________________

Rarity and Applejack weren't as passionate or playful as the other two lovers. Instead they spent their time talking about things. Until the mood kicked in. One moment they were talking about something and the next they were rutting like wild animals. The farm mare had found out that Rarity knew how to use that horn. It wasn't something that was advised especially is it can lead to accidental goring. The act took complete trust and understanding.

They generally stuck to using toys to simulating being mounted. Since both mares were sexually attracted to stallions and both just gave into passion resulting in a strange relationship it was hardly ever any play time without a toy or two. That saddened the fashionista. She wanted to be enough for the farm mare. The problem was the farm mare just wasn't into filly fooling,

the relationship started out of consensual needs of another companion. The more they bonded and got together the more they decided they could keep the relationship going. The issue was Applejack wasn't into mares. She was into Rarity but not into mares. Even while trying to like going down on the marshmallow mare it wasn't pleasing to her. She didn't taste anything amazing from lapping her marefriend's fluids and decided it was just lesbimare talk. She felt the taste of the salty liquids weren't that satisfying to her tongue and the smell wasn't fragrant or enjoyable it was musky. Putting it plain the farm mare just didn't see the excitement about another mare's tidbits.

Rarity could tell her lover didn't enjoy her taste or smell even when just showered so it wasn't a hygenic issue it turns out what she feared to be true was in fact a reality. Applejack was straight and not into mares sexually in the slightest. While she enjoys being rutted with a toy or horn she didn't reciprocate with anything but the toy... it was saddening but Rarity wasn't going to complain. She was committed and if it meant having to compromise then why not? Except she just couldn't do it... she just couldn't allow herself to go through this. "Darling... " she started very silently as if afraid of breaking the post coital bliss from their play time. "I just... oh Applejack... I don't want to lose you but I can't take it anymore." She said with heartbreak imminent.

Applejack knew this was coming. Rarity had discovered she was able to get off with mares and enjoyed doing things other filly foolers enjoyed. While Applejack was into the other mare it wasn't satisfying for her to do lesbimare activities. She just liked being rutted and rutted good. It wasn't anything that could be fixed. She still didn't want it to end but felt it would be unfair to her lover if she held her back from a fruitful relationship she just answered in hopes maybe the conversation would go another route. "Yeah Sugar Cube?"

Rarity was tearing up. Here she was on a romantic get away with her marefriend and now she chooses to bring this up. Why am I doing this?... I can just lie and pretend can't I? No... I can't. As much as I have fallen for her it seems it's a one way street. She can't be in love with me if she can't enjoy me. I am just not a stallion... I was so happy and sure that I found my one. I guess life is just too cruel... Stupid Rainbow Dash stupid Fluttershy.... what right do they have being happy together. Does Rainbow Dash even know that Fluttershy isn't into mares? How can Fluttershy enjoy herself if Applejack can't? I just wish Applejack.... I just wish you could love me as much as I love you... I don't even see you as a mare just my lover... I enjoy your smell, taste and lips... everything. I ... why can't I.. be happy? "I ... I love you Applejack... I mean it... I want to be with you... and one day ... I want to-" she was cut off

"I know ya do Sugar Cube.... I know... and I'm sorry I really am.... I jus' don't...." She wanted to say more but instead oddly felt hooves wrapping around her body and a kiss cutting her off. it was a kiss that demanded urgency. Applejack tried fighting off the feeling of returning it but decided to grant mercy and give in. It wasn't her proudest moment but how could she deny the mare before her eyes?

Rarity started crying into the kiss knowing it was probably going to end their little adventure of love. She wished that everything was going to be alright. She knew what road was left for her without love. She knew that her life would soar into stardom and with no rock holding her down she would become Rainbow Dash 2.0... I need you Applejack... I wish ... I just wish... I could make you love me and be able to enjoy loving me without any force involved... I don't want you to love me by magic, tricks, torture, I want you to love me because it is what you feel. "Applejack. I don't care if you can't love me back. Even if you decide you are just in it for companionship and are just going to use me... I don't mind. I am committed to you... I know that is sad but babe.... I have nothing else going for me besides my career and you. I don't want to be with someone because I am famous or because I am wealthy. I know you don't want to be alone. So while this may not be perfect... promise me you won't give up on this until you no longer want me... until you can't stand looking at me... till I become nothing but a nuisance." She looked into her eye pleadingly while laying some kisses as a way to melt her heart in case it was frozen.

Applejack was stunned.... I thought I was lonely, this mare here is lonelier than an exiled timber wolf. "Rarity... this ain't love Sugar Cube... as much as I wan' it ta be it ain't at all. We tried Sugar Cube.. we tried but even if we committed without love it ain't going ta work. I wouldn't feel right using ya like that. I won't lie it would be nice having ya around ta help with my foal and all.. Appleseed feels like he is goin' ta be like his momma. I can't wait fer the little guy ta show up. He is going ta be a handful." She said as if she didn't just shatter her friend's heart.

Rarity was on the fence she didn't know whether to be angry or hurt. She was thinking about how to storm off. She could hurt Applejack physically and awkwardly enter the 'pegasi play pen' as she called it. She didn't want to interrupt to lovely mares having a good time just because her weekend was ruined. She couldn't really hurt Applejack physically even if she wanted to anyways. The farm mare was pregnant and she didn't want to accidentally hurt Appleseed. Still she wanted to do something. She resolved to go to the lowest form of self pity and just stay. Sure it wasn't going to change Applejack's mind but for the moment she just wanted to be around the mare. " You know I would have been a great parent to Appleseed. I would have been there for him and taken great care of him while you go bucking your trees... it would have been nice. You coming home from working all day me and apple seed at the dinner table.. I have made you some nice cuisine that I learned from a customer, who enjoyed my dresses so much she taught me how to make a delicious meal. we eat... you smell from working but I rather enjoy the uncouth scent because it's your scent and it's better than any perfume in the world darling...." She was off painting this scene that Applejack was tearing up about. "The foal is tired so I put him to bed and we shower you off... then after words passion in the bedroom and some light conversation... the night ends and tomorrow the day begins a new... Appleseed would never need to worry about impressing his dates with fine clothing... his other mother could help him impress any filly with elegant clothing. His main mother would teach him how to woo the ladies. Even if she didn't know how she won the colt's other mother over exactly. Still in a perfect world this scene would be reality... I am just so saddened we live in an imperfect one. I wish you would love me and mean it Darling.... the future looks bright from where I sit." She had nothing more to say just snuggled up to the now sobbing Applejack.

____________________________________________________________

After the group had arrived to Canterlot they immediately made sure they had disguised themselves with caps and other clothing outfits to hide their features and faces. They didn't want fans and paparazzi alike following them around. The retreat was a private affair and it let celebrities enjoy some relaxation without any news ponies or any unwanted attention. The draw back was the cost. Since Rainbow Dash didn't care about tossing bits away, Fluttershy had to decide if it was worth it. She had made sure there was enough bits for expenses and Scootaloo's and their unnamed still in the works foal that hasn't bee named or conceived yet. She had made sure all the bills were paid off and there was still a fortune in the bank for just in case. She was a natural at balancing checkbooks since she lived off low income for the longest. Taking care of forest critters isn't exactly a lucrative business.

After they had secured themselves and were ready to go they got their luggage and headed off for the building that was on the brochure. They luckily weren't followed and some passerby's made funny faces at them not sure what to make of the strange group of ponies. Rarity wasn't as famous but was becoming a rising star in fashion. Applejack wasn't in need of a disguise but she wore one anyways. While the ex model and main squeeze of Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, had to wear a disguise she wasn't as recognizable as the one they were most worried about being pursued endlessly. Rainbow Dash had a cap that covered her rainbow mane with a wig under the cap that was showing a black mane she wasn't going to be caught by anyone as herself. The staff at the hotel part of the retreat knew it was absolutely necessary for identities of guests be protected at all costs.They made sure to keep reservations under code names and by proof of identification. No one was able to get in otherwise.

As the group entered the hotel and were safe from view of the outside world they took off their disguises and were given their keys. Some stallions were bringing their stuff to the rooms assigned. Rainbow and Fluttershy were in a honeymoon sweet on the third floor. While Rarity and Applejack had one on the second floor. That way there was no way they could ruin each other's plans if one couple was arguing loud or moaning loud. While the retreat had pools and other features the main thing Rainbow wanted was just to be able to spend time alone with her future wife. The bells and whistles were just there in case they wanted to try some stuff.

____________________________________________________________

Applejack and Rarity without letting anyone know of their recent revelation decided to not ruin any mood the other two had with each other and just pretend they still were going out. Until they got inside the room. Applejack went on the bed and laid there expecting Rarity to run off to smooch some stallions or go to the spa in retaliation.

The farm mare didn't think low of the marshmallow pony just knew Rarity didn't like being miffed. She wasn't the kind of pony to take things lying down. Except a beating from Fluttershy... I still remember seein' her all banged up. I was so glad that Fluttershy wasn't the toughest pony around... Rarity sure took a beating. She quietly mused while feeling a bit sad. That scene the marshmallow pony filled the farm mare's head with was one that wasn't easily pushed back. It was damn near beautiful and it was touching to think she had wished to be with the farm mare even after the years went by. The usually tough and rambunctious farm pony was no depressed. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy the other mare's company it was just she wasn't wired to enjoy mare's in that way. Sex is a part of life and a relationship though it not being the main focus of a long lasting one. She still couldn't ignore her lack of sexual attraction. She tried getting aroused looking at Rarity's juicy... flower... it just didn't pan out. She just wished she could get aroused from the fashionista's body as it would make it easier to love her back.

Rarity was preparing to go enjoy the retreat while also tending to some outfits for her exposition. She was scheduled to be there tonight but... she didn't feel like going. She was looking at the farm pony on the bed... she wanted her more than she wanted to show off her designs. She made it her mission to try one more time... if not for nothing than for the sake of showing how committed she really was to their relationship. "Applejack... If you don't leave now I am going to rut you... and I mean it... I will rut you so good it will blow your mind. If you aren't wanting me to rut your brains out then I ask you leave the room unless you can't move from fatigue then you have 10 seconds to tell me to stop." She said as she started approaching the farm mare. "10... 9.... 8..."

Applejack decided to fight fate and see if something could happen. If wanting it just enough was going to help maybe it could make something happen that wouldn't She wasn't going to hold her breath, as she was tackled and assaulted. Her body was responding to it, her mouth was making moans. soon the day was passing with nothing more than passion and play. Applejack wasn't able to just convert yet... she needed... more convincing.

____________________________________________________________

Flash Sentry was preparing for what he knew would be coming once the weekend ended. He wasn't sure how to fight back but he knew he could take her one on one. "I can protect you Twilight. Trust me." He said before he was yelled at.

"I can't believe you got her into this mess... the only reason you aren't left to suffer the fate alone is because my sister is your marefriend. If she didn't have any feelings for you the Crystal Empire wouldn't be risking any of it's men to help you fight off Rainbow Dash. So take that knowledge with you that we aren't helping you because we believe in you. We are doing it so my sister doesn't lose a foolish guard." Shining Armor was beyond furious as this situation. Twiley how could you choose such a stupid guard as your lover? What were you thinking? I just hope you know what your commitment to him means. I am not sure my guards can do anything. Earth Ponies aren't meant to fight Pegasi. Especially not a neurotic and reckless powerhouse that can buildings with ease. I just hope you know what your doing Twiley.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was enjoying a relaxing day. She had been preened and massaged by her tender lover. She returned the favor and added a sensual twist to it. They had just spent the day making love even after there incident on the train. They just consumed each other and spent the day giving into desire. Even if it was a weekend away at a retreat it was their weekend away. If they spent it not enjoying views or going to spa's it didn't matter. The resort was just an excuse to make love with no threats of intruding. Though had they brought Scootaloo along as planned it was going to be a family outing and less love making... much much less.

Fluttershy nuzzled Rainbow Dash with a blissful face. "You think we should stop making so much love and do something else today? I mean if you want to that is?" she asked with a blush across her face. She wasn't used to this much affection from the other mare and never wanted it to stop, she just didn't want to break. Fluttershy not having much sexual experience as her well traversed partner was not able to take the multiple rounds as easily. Her body wasn't built to last that much. She was just glad she even had enough energy to move after the consecutive waves of orgasms they shared.

Rainbow Dash played with her soul-mate's hair stroking it gently "I want to get you pregnant so bad right now... " That one statement made the entire room warm. Both pegasi were crimson cheeked and unable to react to what had just been said.

Fluttershy herself was panting heavily... she wasn't sure if it was the intimacy of it all or just the bold statement but she decided to go with the flow "So why don't you make me pregnant right now.." She said as if challenging her she wasn't sure why the mare insisted on filling their heads with silly ideas of pregnancy but she just ran with it.

"You know Flutters I am serious... I read a book about it once... I was in Twilights Library and out of Daring Do... so I.."

Flashback.

Rainbow Dash was looking for something to read... Damn it I became an Egg Head... oh well let's see magical artifacts... pass.... the intrica... I can't pronounce it I won't read it. .... Guide to being Pregnant: for mares who love mares... the buck is this? Oh well twilight looks busy ... maybe I should just read it and ask what it's for later.... I can imagine Fluttershy being knocked up... she would look so cute. Wait the hell? Why am I thinking of my friend being pregnant... Rainbow Dash you dolt... The Wonderbolts are what you should be dreaming off not pregnant Fluttershy.... stupid brain.

Resolution and determination on her side she started reading a book that wasn't daring do. She wasn't sure why she was reading the book before her, just knew it was something that might be useful one day. Since I am most likely never going to want to get pregnant myself but want foals. I also lack a tool like a stallion so maybe this book will help I mean I am a mare and I am not into stallions... I love mares... not as much as I do the Wonderbolts but whatever mares rock stallions... I have no good rhyming words... maybe I could ask Zecora.... not important just read on will you Dash? Oh look I am talking to myself.... Damn I am spending too much time here... Well hello what's this? She was broken from thought as she read on about multiple ways for getting pregnant as a mare without directly needing a stallion. "Twilight I can't read these big words can you help me out here?" She forgot what the book was about but the ever helpful unicorn was ready.

"Sure Rainbow Dash I don't mind help.. oh what the whoosits?" she freaked out looking at the title of the book. "Rainbow Dash... are you a lesbimare?" she asked as if it was a shocking revelation. Rainbow Dash not one without witty replies.

"No I am not I just have 0 stallions I want to rut and many mares I do... seriously Twilight you didn't know?" She asked almost insulted... she practically waved her sexuality like a flag even without her rainbow hair which was a natural color. She was always grabby around Fluttershy and Pinkie's hugs lasted a long time for any straight mare to be comfortable with. Still she thought it was funny that Twilight of all ponies couldn't get a clue. "Now I guess you regret looking at me with those bedroom eyes by mistake huh... " She said before rolling over laughing. Twilight's face was more red than the entire farm of apples.

"Not funny... I mean.. I didn't mean it's bad just... Urgghh can you stop laughing and tell me why you even want me to tell you the details of this book?" She asked while trying to look mad but her embarrassment was too much. She wasn't stereotypical so she didn't get any hints outside of circumstances and didn't want to assume Rainbow was gay.

Rainbow Dash calmed down and waved a hoof at her nonchalantly. "Well I just want to know in case I ever want to get Flu- I mean a mare pregnant. I might be a mare but I want my legacy to continue... and I don't intend on being rutted by a stupid stallion. Not that I hate stallions just I am a top and I do the rutting." She said as if the conversation was about soup or salad.

Twilight had images in her mind and wasn't able to focus anymore. "Al..right... so anyways... this portion of the text ... describes using donated... 'stuff' in place of your lack of stuff... and the mare who receives it must lay in a ... seriously you want me to read this?" She said unable to even look at Rainbow with out imagining some mare being destroyed by Rainbow Dash... not violently either.

Rainbow Dash motioned for her to continue. The room got tense as the situation was heated. Two mares were talking about pregnancy in a small library. If anyone came in there it would have been a hard situation to explain with Twilight's face super red and Rainbow Dash suddenly feeling excited. The tension didn't lead to wild sex but there was a stain on the floor of the library that Twilight never did figure out how it got there.

____________________________________________________________

"So yeah... that is what happened. So I want to use what I learned to get you pregnant. Now the best way supposedly is by donor but I don't want some dude's sperm inside you... so I want to use option b or c... Option b is where I use a potion and become a stallion for a day... I rut you myself and fill you with my own baby making juices... and option c is where we use magic instead of chemistry... so... natural, chemical, or magical... which do you want?" Rainbow asked her mare who was stunned.

Fluttershy was excited about the prospect of having a foal but that kind of commitment now real... it was as if they were going to ascend from their role of partners to birth parents. While she loved Scootaloo with all her might just having a foal by her body producing one was melting her heart... she wanted it bad. "Well I guess we can do option...."

Author's Note

Dun Dun Dun.... (Random Hawk Screech)

So yeah... some fluff and passion and some mindless sex. Gotta love fanfictions. :)

Next chapter we get rid of sappy and go to action.

Next Chapter is obvious so you know what is coming.

The Crystal Empire vs The Dash or as I like to call it.

Dash vs Flash alpha pegasi battle.

one of those names will be used maybe later tonight I write it maybe tomorrow don't know yet.

Dash vs Flash: Downfall of the Crystal Empire

It was night when the four ponies returned back home. The train stopping right in front of the station. Slowly passengers exit the train and head back to reality. The trip was so calming for the two pegasi and for the other two lovers, it was awkward and sexy. They grew closer and decided since they enjoyed the other they would try to find a way to make it work. Slowly Applejack has been able to see Rarity in a new light. She wasn't able to fully convert to seeing mares as a sexual object or being turned on by mare body parts but... she was able to at least enjoy her sexual exploits with Rarity.. it wasn't that much of a difference from before just she wasn't always needing a toy to help.

Rainbow Dash had one goal in mind. Getting Zecora to whip up a potion. Not just any potion... a transmogrify potion. She needed to gain a tool so she could impregnate mare. She wasn't going to take no for an answer and studied each potential risk for each outcome before having asked Fluttershy her choice. The chemical imbalance could cause Rainbow Dash to have the stallion hormones in her body if the transformation sticks longer than the one act of coitus. So she had to make sure she drunk it fast and lay the pipe faster.

Fluttershy decided it was the best route since magic meant someone had to be there and things could go wrong. Another ponies DNA wasn't as appealing to the canary mare. The potion idea would allow for Rainbow Dash to be the father, both literally and metaphorically. She also wanted to know what it felt like to be rutted by a stallion while never having to cheat on Rainbow Dash... this was her one chance for it to occur.

Rarity felt a bit mixed bag about the entire trip. Sure she had somewhat saved her failing relationship and even showed off some fashion a day later than was scheduled but she hadn't reached any heights in either prospect. She wanted Applejack to fall madly in love with her to secure a future with the slowly converting farm mare. She also wanted her clothing to spark a launch in her rising career. She was already in some small time fashion magazines but wanted to be on the top tier ones with cover shots and headlined articles. She wanted it all. Greed was a good way to describe her desire. Then again Rainbow has it all in her mind. Shouldn't she be able to acquire happiness and be famous too?

Applejack was just glad to be home. She missed seeing her little sister and her big brother, even if he can be an idiot. She was tired from the trip and ready to call it a night... she didn't know how to approach the matter from here. She could either invite Rarity to stay the night sealing the resurgence of their failed relationship or leave it to fate and just go home alone. As much as she was tempted to leave it to fate she decided it wasn't all that bad having someone around when they are extra gentle because of the pregnancy. "Hey there Sugar Cube.... mind keeping me company for the night?" She asked with bedroom eyes wanting another tussle before bed.

Rarity wasn't going to say no and didn't need to tell Applejack yes. They just walked off the train together and surprised by the visitors. Big Mac was there looking worried and a bit scared. Pinkamena was just standing there with a sour look on her face as if someone kicked Gummy. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were standing in front of Scootaloo covering her from the eyes of her parents.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash could sense something was wrong. "Hey girls can you please move out the way so I can hug my baby girl?" Fluttershy politely asked. She wasn't sure what had happened but everyone was nervous around the returning ponies.

Rainbow Dash noticed there was a lack of an annoying Pegasus and a lavender mare. "Where is Twilight? Still in her library knocking 'books' with that stupid guard?" She asked in a tone of disapproval. She was scanning the crowd and the mention of Twilight seemed to put them at unease. "She isn't..." Before she could finish her sentence a loud shriek came from her lover she immediately flared her wings and looked at her marefriend. "What's going on?"

Scootaloo's bruise was huge. The swelling had gone down but the area was still sore from the impact of a royal guard's hoof. Rainbow Dash just asked three questions and in a tone that said " and now missy." The questions were in order "Who? When? Where?" Those were easily deciphered by the little filly as "Who the buck dare lay a hoof on my baby? When did this atrocity take place? Where is the dead pony walking now?"

Fluttershy was angry too but more afraid of what Rainbow would do to the poor soul who dare to lay a hoof on their little filly. Still she wanted to know who did it. "Tell your mommies who did this please.... I have some words for the pony responsible for this bruise." She was trying to be gentle to coax the filly into spilling the beans.

Scootaloo finally decided to let them know everything. "Well you guys... it all started when..."

____________________________________________________________

The Crystal Empire, even in the night it was a beautiful place. The night sky accentuated by the moon and the aurora borealis. The northern kingdom had been so magical and grand that tourism was rampant. The city even at night was guarded. They didn't know when exactly Rainbow Dash was coming but it was estimated around the time she got back from her weekend trip. Since it was about that time they knew it would only take seconds for the super sonic mare to reach the kingdom and with her powerful Sonic Rainboom backing her up she would reach the castle in seconds.

Shining Armor, Princess Cadence and Twilight all put their horns energy together to make a massive glowing barrier as a warning sign to the rainbow maned speedster. If she collided into it the force would shatter her body. Three powerful protection spells combined into one impenetrable shield that nothing could bypass.

Nothing except the furious mother of a hurt filly. Nothing could even dare stop a mother when enraged. The levels of adrenaline and exertion of the muscles can double when a mother is in dire need to protect her young. In nature it causes the tide of battles in some situations. Though her young was already hurt her rage was fueled by the want of justice. If any living thing was foolish enough to stand in her way then Celestia have mercy on their soul.

The Sonic Rainbooming athlete was confronted by the barrier and she was laughing. They knew this was going to happen. She knew that they knew and they would try something like this. The shield surrounded the entire kingdom. It was a shield that would require a lot of magical energy. She remembered how the princess was able to keep a barrier that would keep the darkness out and how it drained her of energy until she was nearly dead. She didn't have days to wait for depletion she had her job and family to get back to. She wasn't going to leave this situation unresolved. She saw the three magical ponies approach her. "Look guys... you know why I am here. You know what I am going to do. You know you can't stop me so why the buck try?" She asked with anger pouring out of her in waves.

Shining Armor wasn't sure why the Pegasus was so sure of herself when the barrier was stopping her effectively "Look I know what my sister's colt-friend did but you have to let it go Rainbow Dash... he will pay in his own way but this is beyond the scope of your range. You can't just assault a royal guard. Last time we let it go because he was unaware of the importance of your mission. This time we have to stop you." He said with compassion feeling for the mother and yet not able to let friendship break his duty.

Rainbow Dash chuckled "Twilight.. remember when you told me about the recoil effects of resounding magic backlashes? I think I payed enough attention to where if I use my Sonic Rainboom and collide it with this barrier it will send enough force through your magic channel to shatter your horns... what say you about that Twilight? Regret teaching the jock now?" she said with a look of "I am about to buck your night up".

Twilight remembered all those time they spent in the library but didn't remember Rainbow Dash actually paying attention. "Rainbow please don't do this... He isn't the one I love the most but he is all I have... I can't be with the one I want and even if Flash is a buck up he is my buck up." She said trying to urge the pegasus to let it go. She was sure that her loyalty would help her be rational but she forgot loyalty to family is more important than loyalty to friends.

"I am sorry but all I am hearing is ' please destroy our magic and possibly the entire Crystal Empire because we rather protect someone who attacked a filly than allow you to give him a beating that he so rightfully deserves' which means that I can give you a choice and a time limit. " She said while chuckling "Ok royal family you have exactly one minute to lower that barrier and if not I am going to Sonic Rainboom all over your faces. I won't be held responsible for what occurs. Anything that happens any pony that dies will be on your hooves. So enjoy your final minute as I calculate my trajectory and utilize my maximum wing thrust." Her voice was similar to her regular one but while pretending to know what anything means she was able to convince them that her threat was serious.

Princess Cadence was all about love. She knew that Twilight while loved Flash Sentry even if her true love was someone she would have to wait to hold. She wasn't going to let her sister in law's love life be destroyed by vengeance. "Listen Rainbow Dash even if you Sonic Rainboom you can't penetrate the barrier enough with our magic being as strong as it is. So your threat is empty and we shall not be intimidated." She said while their horns started glowing brighter and the barrier thickened.

____________________________________________________________

Princess Celestia who was about to drift off into sleep had received a letter and it landed on her nose. She looked at it and smiled "A letter... I wonder what it's about... Oh my... Rainbow Dash is heading to the Crystal Empire to exact revenge and unleash justice... oh well don't care." She said as she tossed the letter in fire and rolled around on the bed feeling naughty about ignoring the letter. She wasn't going to stop Rainbow Dash from beating on the guard who took the lavender princess from her. It wasn't going to be fair if the filly-abuser got away with what he did to Scootaloo.

She did worry what if Rainbow Dash went too far though. The cyan mare can be quite reckless and she could end up hurting Twilight if she got in the way... The stupid foal of an Alicorn probably thinks she is invincible... immortal through age she is but impervious to death she isn't... I need to make sure that Rainbow Dash just gets revenge on the right soul. "Luna... I am heading out... and I am returning with Twilight Sparkle... no longer shall I wait to have what is mine."

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was laughing at them "Alright time's up I am going to take you all out in one blow... I just hope that guy was worth it as he isn't going to be around much longer when I get through this pathetic barrier." She said before flying off. It looked as if her bluff failed to the group watching still keeping the barrier up in case she came back. They didn't even have the time to breath as they heard a loud resounding sound and a bright light appear as it seemed to surround the barrier.

The force of the impact shattered the barrier causing two princesses to fall backwards and cry out in pain their bodies wrecked with the recoil and their bodies writhing in agony from the surge of magic bursting through them. The third pony felt his body burn as his horn started glowing and with no wings to ease the magical diffusion it ruptured the horn breaking into pieces and left him limp on the ground.

Rainbow Dash couldn't have cared less. They chose the side of the person who maliciously attacked a filly for talking back to him. How was that right? She didn't dwell on it. She had some justice to enact. She would check on the three ponies that fell before her later.

____________________________________________________________

The resounding force though didn't stop there. The two magical energy collisions had ruptured the magical energy surrounding the kingdom causing it to create a collapse in the time space making the entire kingdom unstable. The ground began to crackle and if not for the evacuation orders there would have been a death toll as the city began to crumble and rupture from the chaos of the two forces that had collided.

Rainbow Dash was flying through the city and felt like a total bad ass. I caused that? wicked... I guess I am just that awesome. Luckily there are no ponies around otherwise it would be one big mess. Still why did they put so much force into that barrier when they knew I was just going to knock it down? Stupid royalty. Anyways Flash it's time for pay back not just for Scootaloo. I mean for that time in flight school. Did you think I would forget? no I remember....

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Rainbow Dash was a very fast filly. She was also very brave and reckless. School was boring and she disliked every pony there that wasn't a fan of her speed. Most ponies heard about the Sonic Rainboom some impressed others didn't buy into it. Still there was one pony who mattered most to her. Fluttershy. They would hang out still from time to time though not as much since Rainbow and Gilda were constantly hanging out after school.

Fluttershy didn't mind but the bullies were more vicious as the years grew. Rainbow Dash had always protected her from anyone. This time though some uppity student who claimed he was destined to be a Royal Guard was always bothering her. She didn't like him very much and he was always pressuring her to go out.

Rainbow Dash always stepped in the way and backed him off. This happened constantly. Still he kept on with it. He wasn't used to ladies saying no to him and Fluttershy was the hottest filly this side of Clousdale. He wanted someone beautiful to be his 'princess' yet Rainbow Dash already claimed Fluttershy as her princess just to piss him off.

He wasn't too fond of that idea and one day after hanging out with Gilda and was heading back to her empty home she was ambushed by Flash Sentry. He had his 'friends' help out. They first started just taunting her. Then a brawl occured. The speedster was a good fighter but not as good as Flash Sentry. He was trained to fight at a young age. Usually he would only fight in noble aspects and in this case some rude filly needed to be taught a lesson. He was attacking her and trying to teach her some manners.

After she was beaten the colts tried to mount her but a kick to the groin made one of them unable to breed. The other's were scared to try as even when beaten down the filly refused to give in. Flash Sentry had laughed at her and said the most cruel thing ever before knocking her to the ground again "I wouldn't waste my time mounting this one guys... her dead father probably has dibs on it anyways."

That humiliating defeat and coupled with her rampage at school was what finally set off the expulsion and the reason for moving away with Fluttershy... they left school together and decided Cloudsdale wasn't for them.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash never told a living soul about that day. Humiliated and almost raped it wasn't something she could brag about. The insult coupled with the fact he beat her was bad but doing so because he wanted to rut the canary mare was worse. The fact she was never harmed by him made her not remember that particular incident to much so like all other bullies he was just one of the forgotten ones.

Rainbow remembered though, She remembered and now fueled by her feeling of awesomeness and her resolve she was going to destroy the stallion and make him regret ever messing with Rainbow Danger Dash. The mother bucking most powerful pegasus in all Equestria.

____________________________________________________________

Flash Sentry was waiting for this moment. He had train a bit and relearned his combat training to help him gain an edge. He saw the barrier from the inside of the castle and then to his horror saw it collapse. He wasn't going outside she would come to him. He had everything set up to relive that moment and kick her flank.

He had an ambush waiting for her and men who were ready to die at his side. There was no way Rainbow Dash was getting out of this one. She was going to be humiliated and destroyed and maybe either rutted or killed. It wasn't up to him but the other guards if they wished to do so. He had told them after her defeat they may do whatever they wish to her under his command.

They all seemed excited since most guards hardly get any leave time and thus are devoid of relationships with actual mares... though the rest of that sentiment was best kept a secret for the guards. The thoughts of humiliating his marefriend's friend was almost satisfying enough to keep his smile going till he heard rumbles and felt the castle shaking.

"What the hay is going on?" He asked while guards scrambled and ran off, some stayed behind to warn him "The Crystal Empire sir... it's breaking apart." One guard reported before running off. The earth ponies weren't able to fly like Flash Sentry so evacuation was a must. Great now I am all alone... oh well I can take her on after all she still has to find me that will tire her out after using all her energy to destroy the barrier.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was still feeling like a bad ass. The entire city was falling apart and she was in awe of the cinematic experience. It felt surreal watching an entire kingdom crumble beneath your wings as the wake of your impact caused it. She was feeling enchanted by the display of her awesomeness literally taking down an entire kingdom. "Hey Flash let's not waste anymore time and cause any more other ponies to be hurt... this is between us. So let's end this now. I challenge you to a battle and winner takes all. If I win you have to leave my family and friends alone. If you win... and that is if... You can decide my fate... anything you wish for me to do or become and I will. So how about it? You game?"

She asked trying to get the coward out of hiding. She was going to enjoy beating the tar out of him. She wasn't going to give him any ground and take everything from him. She was too into the moment and even if it meant ending a pony's life it was one who deserved it.

Flash decided to show up and accept her challenge. He took off his armor to allow for more maneuverability and before the fight started he stated his terms "Alright... first one to give up loses... if either of us become unconscious then they lose by default. One last thing when I win..." he said with a smug face " I want you become the play thing of the royal guards... your body will be used as a toy for any stallion who wishes to use it."

She chuckled "You do know that your chances of winning are less than the bucks I give about destroying this entire kingdom right? If not then let me show you why." She said with fury as they started to collide.

The battle was glorious speed met power and force met fury. The two pegasi were constantly clashing. Rainbow using speed and momentum to enhance her impact and Flash using his stocky body to absorb the hits. Flash got some good hits in and was able to counter some strikes from the cyan athlete. Each time he was able to retaliate it was with more force. The hits were building up and each strike being received caused the cyan mare to yelp out.

Damn it when did he get strong... why didn't he get destroyed like that one time I hit him? She was even more furious the more she landed hits on him the less it seemed to do anything. He wasn't just some piss-ant it seemed. It was probably her first hit was when he was caught off guard that day long ago. Now with his attention to her and his body ready it was like fighting a dragon except with more intelligence.

"Now you see why I am in the Royal Guard? You may think you are the top pegasus but you are nothing more than a foal with the power of a goddess. Sonic Rainboom... you use it for everything now... don't you think it's pointless? since it's so common? Your ability which took your father's life and you use it to destroy an empire?" He said trying to get into her head. While trying to keep the hits off his body. Being able to bluff your way through combat would usually work but this mare wasn't tiring out and his body was hurting.

"Shut your bucking mouth up... you know nothing of my father and know nothing of me.... you were just a punk who ambushed me because I had something you wanted and I wouldn't let you have it." She said with fury as her hits started to get even more intense. She was using her speed to her advantage and was jabbing him in the sides with speed and precision each connecting hit now shattering away at his defenses. Muscles were becoming inflamed and bones were breaking. The fight reached it's climax with Rainbow Dash pinning the stallion on his back.

"You know something I know you probably will just never give up and honestly if I don't want to kill you if I can avoid it. I would kill you but I have seen the effects of a dying pony and don't wish to see any pony dead again... but I will take something from you... maybe I might just rip your wings off." She started tugging at his wings. She was pulling with force.

He was crying "I give, I give... Stop please... Stop it.... It hurts...." He was afraid his smugness and confidence all gone with the fear of losing his wings.

" Yeah... did you stop beating me ... when did you stop ? You had to keep going right? Then you hit my precious daughter... you think I am going to stop? I have no reason to. All ships point to sail... I can end you.... say it... Say it."

He was sobbing uncontrollably his fear reached to soiling point as he felt emasculated and weak. "You could end me.. you can end me... please stop I give up... you win ... You win." He said while his wings were suddenly let go. He felt a warm breath on his ear and the voice of his enemy ring through it.

" You bucking lost... you must never go near my friends or family... you are gone got it? Want to know why your wings are still attached? Because I decided it to be... remember that next time you decide to hit someone's filly again... next time you decide to attack someone because you can't have a mare they protect... just remember if you don't honor our deal I will rip your wings off and you will never fly again..." She said in the most sadistic voice ever. She enjoyed it. The feeling of victory.

____________________________________________________________

Celestia was in shock... the Crystal Empire was destroyed.. the buildings collapsed and some were ripped through from the magical recoil. The place looked like a disaster zone. Thee ponies were lying down on the ground barely breathing. some guards were scattered and injured and there was one sickening sight. A soiled and crying guard with blood and bruises covering his body. He was still crying and looked as if he was just in the pit of tartarus before landing a heap of a pony.

"Rainbow Dash.... What did you do... " Celestia asked. She never seen such rampant and senseless destruction and was sure there was a good reason that Rainbow Dash had a satisfied look on her face instead of one of guilt and shame. Was she proud of this? Could she really enjoy harming ponies like this? No it was something in her face something peaceful... she was content.. what had she accomplished that made her so happy.

Rainbow Dash just looked up at Celestia as her bruises splayed all over her body from taking hits. Her own blood drip down her muzzle as she smiled weakly with the lack of energy left. "I won Celestia... that is what I did... I won... " She said breathing heavily.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight awoke and found herself in a collapsed city. It seemed to resemble the Crystal Empire. Then it hit her she was in the Crystal Empire. She got up to find her brother's horn damaged and hopefully not beyond repair. Cadence was crying next to him as he looked up at her trying to reassure her. Celestia was standing next to Rainbow Dash who looked like she was just had a terrible crash. Then it started to click and she asked the one question she knew the answer wasn't going to be good.

"Where is Flash Sentry?" She noticed Celestia hadn't banished Rainbow Dash so he must be alive but there was no sign of him anywhere.

Rainbow Dash got angry... "You have got to be bucking kidding me.. it's his fault this entire kingdom went to shit and your brother almost lost all his magic because he wanted to protect his own hide and you want to know where he is? I have the best bucking answer... he is GONE!" She said with contempt in her voice.

Twilight felt as if she had failed.. there was the entire Crystal Empire ruined and her brother seriously injured all for nothing. She had failed in keeping her lover safe and now he was killed. "You killed him.... Why?" she could only ask with tears pouring out her eyes in defeat and sorrow.

Celestia nuzzled her and whispered into her ear "He isn't dead... he made a deal with Rainbow Dash and decided to honor it." She slowly moved away from her once lover with a sad heart. She wanted to just comfort her and hold her... but it wasn't an appropriate time.

"You know what Twilight... why can't you just admit what your heart is telling you? You seriously pretend to love Flash Sentry and besides my personal reasons for hating the other reason I hated him is because you weren't being true to yourself... I know I am not the sappy kind of mare..." She said but softened her tone "I just know you and Celestia love eachother... I saw you at that party Twilight. I saw you with her and I heard you guys made out... I know you have always loved her and I know just like I did you made a stupid decision probably thinking it was for her sake." She remembers that time she had to let Fluttershy go.

Twilight got angry and tackled Rainbow Dash wanting to pummel her "You have no right.. you destroy an Empire... My brothers home, my colt friend and you have the gall to suggest what I do with my life... you don't even know why I broke it off with Celestia do you? Do you?..." She watched the mare shake her head no "I broke it off to save her reputation...I love Celestia more than you can know and I knew that if we got together and the public found out they would ... they would do something awful to her and I couldn't let that happen." She screamed before sobbing into her friend's shoulder.

Rainbow Dash landed a hoof across Twilight's face and yelled "You are so bucking stupid for someone so bucking smart... you really think anyone would oppose Celestia? If so you are the freaking me of magic... if you wanted Celestia safe you would find a way to keep her safe... because unlike Flash you really would do anything for Celestia... also... you think any of your friends would just ignore you if you needed our help? I wouldn't let anyone harm your marefriend like I know you wouldn't let anyone harm mine if it came to it. We are friends Twilight... something you obviously forgot. Also about Pinkamena we need to talk about that later.... now I just need to find out how we going to fix this mess?"

Celestia spoke up "I think I can with the help of Cadence and Twilight realign the magical fields and repair the empire... though ... I am afraid even if we fix the empire there is still the matter of the evacuation these ponies had to pay for and all the other costs of things you wrecked... I think you understand where I am going don't you Rainbow Dash...." She said with a small smile.

Rainbow Dash knew she had some explaining to do when she got home. Fluttershy isn't going to be too happy about this. So in the end her victory had costed her, she had to pay bills of the injured guards and the cost of the food and supplies lost in the tragedy that befell the kingdom. She wasn't charged with anything since no one died and those who were injured were so because of their own decisions.

In the end the night went better than anyone could have hoped for. No one of importance was injured too greatly and lessons were learned all around. The media wasn't around for this mess and before the ponies could return to their homes the place was back to it's former glory. It was almost as if no battle had taken place and no one would speak of it. Though some rumors spread and stories were told none of it was confirmed.

Just an FYI before people freak out about the event. No one died because the battle was preempted by Shining Armor he knew what kind of mess magic clashing can do since he has been using protective magic as his main deal. (canon)

His horn didn't break completely so it can still be restored but it won't be as strong.

Flash Sentry isn't dead... just honoring his deal in case there is any flash sentry fans out there...

The other guards got injured but weren't killed and since they didn't get hurt by Rainbow Dash directly and the Kingdom didn't get attacked by her directly it's as if she didn't do it. Remember the scene from the Gala where she attempts to catch the statue and ends up destroying the pillars. No one got huffy and Celestia didn't give a buck. So think of that Canon moment and apply it to here. No one (of importance) got hurt and in the end it was a good night to end a feud that started many years ago.

I Do

Two words that can mean many things. It can break relationships, complete thoughts, state purpose, and even bring joy ... those two words uttered by ponies at times when doubts become habit, truth becomes scarce, and when reality and fantasy split. How can those two words truly effect the lives of ponies? The thought is simply astonishing to the ponies involved.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was not sure what to make of her recent victory over Flash Sentry. The Crystal Empire was shattered by the force of two powerful energies colliding. The resulting chaos was delicately handled by the princesses, and the injured prince. The culprit responsible for the current devastation was none other than the Wonderbolt super star Rainbow Dash.

"So you see we must talk Rainbow Dash... you have been living life in your own world, and in doing so have costed tons of bits in damages. There has been other unfortunate side effects of being this above the world idol, and it's time we put an end to that do you hear me?" Celestia wasn't truly upset but she had seen what kind of destruction the pony can do and had decided that her recklessness would one day bring a great tragedy to the land if left unchecked.

"Listen princess. I know what I did was wrong, I just... I needed to finish it... I am done with my past now and I am ready to move on completely, nothing is left holding me back. I know my power is deadly but I assure you I have no more uses for it besides just keeping Equestria safe and performing. I won't become a threat to Equestria... But I understand.." The next two words were almost said in a softer tone. The words said were words that would be repeated as time passes. It would be a phrase that would become the bringer of fortune and confusion for others and happiness for this cyan mare.

____________________________________________________________

When arriving home Rainbow Dash wasn't surprised to see her mare waiting for her with her filly still up. They were at the house and sitting down on the couch while Fluttershy read Scootaloo a book. She had her cute reading glasses that she wore to help her with small words. It was something new she decided to use so she wouldn't strain her eyes. Her vision wasn't faulty she just enjoyed not having to look too close to books and it also turned Rainbow Dash on for some odd reason.

"There you are... " came the canary mare's voice it was soft but behind it was a verbal assault on it's way. Since the little filly was at her side she would wait for her to leave so she could enact her wrath. "Honey, mommy wants you to head off to bed and try to get some sleep ok? Me and your Momma-Dash have some things to discuss." She said sweetly as she could muster with her anger slowly crawling out. She watched as the filly yawned into her hoof and hugged her other mother before running off to bed.

"Now before you say anything I want you to come here and sit right next to me and get all comfy." She was using a soft tone but the command was there. Rainbow Dash knew it wasn't going to be a fun conversation and further realized it upon seeing her marefriend take off her glasses and putting them aside. "I said come here Dash." she used no more false kindness in her voice it was time for a talking to,

The fearless rainbow maned mare suddenly felt afraid. She slowly made her way to the couch expecting some kind of violent out burst, wait a second I just took down a tough stallion. Why am I afraid of my own future wife.. it's just Fluttershy right? I can't be harmed by her... so why am I feeling so weak all of a sudden? She approached the couch and sat down and looked at her mare's face and before she could do anything she felt a wave of pressure hit her chest as her marefriend's eyes bulged out ...

The stare... an attack only Fluttershy can master that allows her to intimidate any non chaos gods that she uses it on. The full effect of the stare hasn't been studied but it usually accompanied a verbal assault that rendered it's victim utterly weak and defeated. The ability was first used when a dragon refused to leave it's cave and retaliated against the attempts to evacuate him. The sudden fear implemented by the stare was legendary.

Fluttershy now using the stare on her marefriend wanted to let her know just how upset she was with her actions. "How dare you... how dare you? How dare you attack an entire kingdom just to get your petty revenge? I know what that stallion did but almost wiping out the entire Crystal Empire? What kind of nonsense is that? I am very upset with you..."

Rainbow Dash with futility tried responding "But I.." which in retrospect was something she should have known would lead to the next wave of verbal torment.

"Don't you but I me, missy, you are in big trouble. Now what do you have to say for yourself?" She asked with a patronizing tone as she looked at her marefriend with the stare still in effect.

"I am ... sorry.... " That was it the tone of defeat as she started crying and feeling weak. The stare broke a powerful pegasus and made her bawl like a foal.

Fluttershy just cooed her crying lover and held her in her hooves "Now, now it's alright. We just learned a lesson and now you will behave yourself accordingly. Don't you agree my love?" She asked while petting her lover's mane enjoying the softness of her prismatic hairs.

Rainbow Dash wiped her eyes and sniffled before responding with three words the first one was a "yes..." the other two again drove the point home. Those two words in constant use and with the right usage it was constantly making life better or worse for ponies.

____________________________________________________________

Day's passed since the event of the Crystal Empire's fall. The cost of it's rebuild was staggering. With magic it was reduced slightly. The event wasn't followed by media and thankfully no one outside of the ponies involved witnessed the catastrophe directly.

Celestia had been staying at the Crystal Empire to rest after exerting an enormous amount of energy from her horn to help the other ponies fix the magical alignment and also rebuild the Kingdom with the use of powerful magic. The entire time it was going on two alicorns would sneak off when resting and enjoy each other's company privately. The sun goddess and her lavender student were suddenly at cross roads. They had to decide whether or not to continue this excursion or end it.

Twilight wasn't sure how to word her thoughts without saying something stupid. She wasn't adept to love nor it's intricacies. She only knew how to speak from her heart regardless of how often it's overridden by the brain. "Celestia I am really sorry about all this... I know that if I had just been honest and true to myself and to you.... we wouldn't be in this mess." She said while nuzzling the bigger pony.

Celestia smiled a bit "Twilight Sparkle... my most loyal and dearest of subjects.... I too am at fault... Spike had sent me a letter about what happened in Ponyville. I knew how Rainbow Dash would react and when his other letter arrived confirming of her actions I decided to take my time in stopping her." She said with shame.. It wasn't like she was willing to let ponies die but she wanted to allow Rainbow Dash free reign in kicking the flank of that ridiculous guard.

Twilight was shocked "You can't be serious princess... you knew about this and you didn't stop it?" She asked almost offended she was rising her voice and moving away. Much to Celestia's dismay of course.

"Twilight Sparkle... how could I justify stopping someone from taking justice on a pony who abused a filly and not only any filly but her filly? Would you have understood if I stopped you from taking charge against someone who deserved it?" She asked inquisitively. Even with her disregard for the shamed guard it was still a tricky situation to be in. Had she stopped Rainbow Dash the position of defense would be for a filly abuser and that wasn't a position Celestia would stand for. Regardless of royalty or rank in service when taking on sides in any struggle the one that is most justifiable is the one that is with in reason to defend.

"I never saw it that way.. I was blinded by confusion and what I thought was love. It turns out it was just ... loneliness I missed you so much Celestia... I love you ... Do you still love me princess?" She asked hoping to hear the words that would bless her ears. So much passion on this one thought and so much riding on the response.

"Actually Twilight..." the next words uttered from her mouth were eternal words that would continue to have effect on the lives of ponies everywhere. Time and character didn't matter as long as those words were uttered in the right way.

____________________________________________________________

Weeks passed by since the incident and life was resuming normality. Ponyville was still bustling with fans and paparazzis but the attention was slowly dying down. Rainbow Dash the biggest name in Equestria and possibly the world was soon fading from the mouths of ponies and the minds of more. Worry spread among the fans when she started appearing in less performances and new products associated with the rainbow maned wonder were not being produced.

The fan-base were still strong. Some more die-hard and refusing to believe that there would be any new stars that could top their hero. The passage of time meant nothing to the fans of loyalty itself. They stood by and kept supporting their favorite Wonderbolt. Even went and purchased the second auto biography that wasn't as ridiculous as the first one. They weren't going to let their hero fade out. She was a legend and legends never die.

"You intend to keep running this show and getting more fans into this club don't you." Asked a random unicorn to a determined Pegasus.

His reply was one of hope and pride. He was determined to keep Rainbow Dash on top even if she wasn't willing to fight for supremacy of stardom herself. Those two words he uttered would stand the test of time and give rise to a cause.

____________________________________________________________

Months passed and school was still bustling with fillies and colts. More importantly the awkward end to the Cutie Mark Crusaders didn't help with making the days easier for the fillies. The three fillies had broken up the group thanks to Scootaloo having received her Cutie Mark and sudden relationship with Diamond Tiara.

They didn't hate Scootaloo just didn't understand why she would be hanging out with Diamond Tiara of all ponies. Silver Spoon was abandoned by Diamond and found herself becoming friends with Sweetie Belle who cheered her up. That soft voiced filly was wonders to the glasses wearing earth pony.

Scootaloo had been practicing her stunts now that she was able to soar. Her wings had become strong and her body sleek and framed correctly with enough muscle for launch and enough tone for aerodynamics. The first flight was full of hubris and she almost crashed hard. Lucky for her the teacher, mother, and idol of her life was there making sure nothing happened while her timid mother was cheering her on softly. It was a proud day when she launched herself into the sky and successfully flew.

Then a race happened. It was Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo vs Thunder Lane and Rumble. The team who made it through together won. It was just a race to test Scootaloo, as Thunder Lane wasn't seriously thinking about competing against the cyan mare. Not out of fear but just out of knowing his limits. Even with the stallions frame he wasn't able to compete with the cyan mare's natural ability.

The race proved fruitful as Scootaloo had gained a cutie mark just like Dash did by winning a race of speed. The little filly wasn't too happy. She wanted to be able to make a boom in the sky like her other mother. She wanted to make a Scootaboom. She was able to first see a mach cone in the sky around her third month of training.

Now that she had a cutie mark the crusaders weren't able to enjoy spending as much time together. Scootaloo was too much of a braggart and loved showing off. She would cause mini tornadoes and guide them. It was her element and she learned how addicting it was to soar in the sky.

Diamond Tiara had become her fan/groupie. They hit it off after Scootaloo realized that stallions weren't her thing. While the incident at the baker left her a bit bruised she was still able to look around town and see which she wanted to try more. colts were alright and their tool was weird to her.. mares though were equipped the same and so it was awkard trying to get aroused. She gave up until she was ambushed by Diamond Tiara and glomped into a kiss.

The kiss wasn't passionate it was clumsy and fast. Still she was kissed so that meant she was claimed. At least that is how she thought it worked. So she just said 'buck it' and went out with Diamond Tiara. It wasn't love just tolerance. Diamond Tiara would always slink up to the ready to fly pegasus and flirt. Scootaloo wasn't into mushy stuff and just kept her at bay. It was almost as if they were playing a game of cat and mouse with Scootaloo being the mouse.

School was passing by fast and soon it was the end of the day. The usually picked up filly was now independent enough in her own right to head home. she would usually just take off and wow the other fillies. It wasn't the capacity of Dash's captivated crowd but it was enough.

Before she could take off Diamond Tiara approached her... "Hey Scootsy... I know I annoy you at times and I am too mushy but.. I was wondering if you would like to go steady... I don't know what it means but I guess it makes us official... also.... I was wondering if I could go home with you and meet your mom officially as your filly-friend.... so do you think we can go steady?"

Scootaloo wasn't sure about this. She had already barely been able to see her friends as is since Diamond Tiara was possessive. Kisses do sure feel good when you get used to them but... I don't know ... can I really keep being with my annoying ex enemy? Well... shoot maybe if she is my steady filly-friend she won't feel so jealous. Then we can all hang out.. I would sure like to have it all... friends and an annoying filly-friend. She said two words that was came after the words "yes.." two words that made a young fillies dream come true and doomed another filly to being tied down at a young age... they weren't married but you couldn't tell otherwise with how much Diamond Tiara would fuss over Scootaloo''s mane and style.

____________________________________________________________

More time passes and a farm mare finds herself at the end of a pregnancy. Even near the end of it she was still supported by her soft of marefriend Rarity. Time didn't bode well for them too. They were still at odds about being together. It was saddening most of the days.

"Rarity.. you silly pony I don't know why you keep helpin' me... I mean you can't possibly want to be with me... I am ugly and fat and soon I will be popping out a foal... I've been mean and grumpy. I.. I've said terrible things Sugar Cube... I made you leave that one night in the cold rain and even made you cry... I know you think you want this Sugar Cube... but I can't stand hurting you anymore... I think it be best if we just called it quits. I don't want to hurt you anymore." She said while the marshmallow pony continued to rub oil on her stomach massaging it gently.

Rarity chuckled "Come on now... you really don't mean that, regardless of how you feel and how you think your treat me Darling I wouldn't give up on this because you are wanting to back out... If you truly wanted me gone you would be stopping my hooves not moaning to them. I will tell you something else. I dare you to call yourself ugly again so I can lay a hoof across your face for insulting the most beautiful mare I know. I love you Applejack. I think you are a beautiful pony and I enjoy spending my time with you. My business has been booming and you are meaning more to me than it. I shan't be letting you go this easily when you are the light of my life. The farmer to my fields of love. The Apple of my eye." She said as she laid a kiss with each title. The kisses trailed along the farm mare's pregnant belly. it was something common for Rarity to have to deal with this nonsense of wanting to break up. Whether it be hormones or insecurities Applejack had wanted to break up a lot recently. Mostly though once she was calmed she would stop uttering such foolishness.

" Well... I guess yer right... anyways with the wedding coming up an'all I say we get ready for it. I mean it's going to be a special day and soon after the wedding we will get to meet Appleseed and I know he is wanting to meet you." She said as she pulled the fashionista in for a hug. "Ya really mean all that Sugar Cube? All ya said about me? Ya truly mean it? She asked hoping the unicorn would respond with a serious provocation of yes. She got something better.

"Yes.." She started and then uttered two words that made the farm mare smile beyond what she could muster if anything it was a good moment for them both. Happiness rung across the farm all because of two little words.

____________________________________________________________

The sky was calm, the day was warm, the weather team worked their flanks off to make sure this day would go undisturbed weather wise. The guards all made sure the area was secure. The towns folk had all attended and some important fans and team members too. This event was highly profiled as the best celeb wedding ever. It was heralded as the hope of a new age by some misguided soul who felt elated at seeing his idol get married.

The ponies in place all dressed to the tee in expensive suits and dresses. The mare of honor and the best mare both were eyeing each other hoping for one day their own wedding. One mare above all others was the one presiding the event. She had been so happy thanks to the actions of the 'groom' of this wedding. She had really cleaned up her act and kept herself in check since their last talk.

Celestia was busy doing the preaching for the wedding. It was a grand event and a momentous occasion. Two subjects of hers had found love and were ready to make the ultimate dive into commitment. The music had cued and suddenly all eyes were on the line.

Two fillies were dressed in nice dresses walking down the row tossing flowers. There would have been three but one of them had another job to do. The world stop as all eyes locked unto the beautiful bride... She was dressed in the most elegant white gown in all Equestria it put Mi Amore's dress to shame.

Rainbow Dash, the 'groom', was in a tux designed and made by Rarity. It was sharp looking and it was able to keep the pegasus mobile. It had holes for the wings and was made from silk. The suit was pricey but no payment was made since it was a gift. Damn Fluttershy looks amazing in her dress... I want to tear it off her right now and just make her mine infront of everyone. Woah calm down time for that later. The rainbow mane of the cyan pegasus was styled and had a feather in her hair that was matching the coat of her lover.

The bride while appearing calm was a bundle of nerves. She was smiling and blushing as she thought about that night when they had decided to get pregnant....

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Fluttershy almost feeling guilty decided to tell Rainbow Dash why she insisted on the second option instead of the third. It was the most depressing silence that filled the room after she had announced her curiosity to be rutted with a tool instead of a hoof. She was waiting for Rainbow Dash to burst out in a jealous rage and with earned anger.

Rainbow Dash smiled "Well my love, I won't say it doesn't hurt but... I wish you told me sooner." She said softly as the other pegasus started crying.

"I am sorry... please don't break up with me.. forget I..." she couldn't finish the thought as a pair of cyan lips captured hers into a furious kiss of love and passion.

"I never said I am going to leave you... I am just saying I could have been a better lover for you and gotten some... stuff to help simulate the ... you know." She said with a blush while scratching the back of her neck in nervousness.

"I don't deserve you... you are so thoughtful.. Here I thought you would leave me.." She said with tears and suddenly found herself being gently held to her lover's chest.

"Never Fluttershy... you are into stallions and never have been into mares. Yet you still stay by me and still love me. I have never seen more loyalty than what you display by sticking by my side... I just have to know do you enjoy having sex with me?" She asked nervous about the answer.

Fluttershy uttered two words that made Rainbow Dash's heart melt with joy as she passionately devoured her lover and no more words were spoken that night till they were ready to continue on with the process. After a passionate love making session they still had to properly perform the necessary steps to get the canary mare impregnated.

Fluttershy now had to ask a question she feared after her revelation caused a emotional storm in the other mare's mind. "Can you really do this after what I said... you can still get the magic option and we can forget it... but honestly I just want to get it over with now... I just... hope you still want to do this." She said with soft voice almost refusing to look away from the mare of her dreams.

Rainbow Dash smiled "You know Fluttershy..." she followed her statement with two words.. two words that made the world much brighter for both.

____________________________________________________________

Fluttershy was smiling at that thought and knew that since then their lives were never better. The love making grew more intense and the 'fun' was increased as well. Their passion increased with time and her belly started growing a bit. It was all worth it as the success of it all made the awkward night memorable.

She was being given away by Discord... the only male who had her full trust who didn't want to rut her. He was asked by many ponies why he never laid a paw,claw or anything on her. He responded "Because she is a pony.... and I don't do ponies... that would be like a Dragon mounting a Unicorn.. would never happen." he said while winking to no one in particular.

The usually chaotic being was well behaved and dressed in his own style. Nothing could ever be made for him since he could conjure his own clothing. The mad chaos god smiled as he was about to witness the complete and total joy of his friend's wedding be a reality.

Twilight and Pinkamena had been brides maids and even if they were working on fixing their friendship Twilight was still uneasy about the lack of Pinkie. She was still hoping to regain her lost friend but for now she put that aside and accepted Pinkamena for who she was. They each looked at the bride and one felt joy in watching her get close to her 'groom' while the other pony had a sad visage kept hidden by a facade. Pinkamena wasn't going to ruin a wedding but she didn't have to like who the 'groom' was marrying since it wasn't her.

The exchange of vows was requested by the sun deity. The first one to speak was the rainbow maned pegasus. She had some stuff she wanted to say.

"I know I am not about being sappy and I barely know big words so I had a lot of help from an Egg Head to get these words to you. Fluttershy, my love, you are the reason I breathe. When the world goes dark and cold at night and I warm and illuminated by your presence. You have been my rock and my roll, sorry just had to you know... anyways. My heart is yours for all eternity and it has always been yours even if I didn't show you that. Ever since I met you I thought 'wow' what an amazing mare... You have been my princess and damsel in distress. I love you more than the sky itself as I would gladly give command of it to another pony as long as I could be yours. I enjoy everything about you. I smile when your lips are curved upward. I cry when you cry, I love when you love. Everything we do it's together. I even calmed down a whole lot for you... I would do anything for you even if I don't agree with it. I would give you the world if it was for sale. Unfortunately it isn't so that is a no go. Though I would pay any price even if it made me broke just to make your day a happy one. So with that all said... and these coltly tears flowing down my cheek. I say with my up most sincerity that I Rainbow Danger Dash, Love the buck out of you Fluttershy." She finished with some soft tears allowing emotion to display on the usually stoic face of the cyan mare.

The crowd was in awe of the feelings guiding that vow, not a dry eye in the house and when they all quieted Rarity down who started pouring tears in a dramatic fashion the canary mare was next to speak.

"When I was a filly I felt like my life had no meaning, I was a useless pony who couldn't even fly. I wanted to be strong my whole life. I was on the verge of just diving off a cloud and never bothering anyone again. Then when all hope was lost you appeared. Like a gift from Celestia herself I finally got something I been praying for. I got my hero, my first and longest friend, and my wife. I felt like I was dreaming the day you told me 'let's be friends' and I to this day feel this is all an elaborate dream cooked up by Luna. I can't express just how much you mean to me and how much I owe my life to you. I was bullied and teased and you protected me. I was harassed and abused until you stopped it all. You became my guardian.. my knight in shining armor... you became my everything. Then we moved out after somepony hurt you... I don't know what happened and we just left. We weren't as close and soon it felt like before. I thought I bucked up and was surrounded with animals to help my pain die. I found Angel bunny and he reminded me so much of you... I made him my pet and he became like a son. He would have been happy here today. I know he liked you because he said so. He was my friend while you disappeared from my life. Then twilight came to Ponyville and brought us back together... you and I started hanging out again. We even went to the butterfly migration.. it was nice..." She said with tears pouring down her eyes as the crowd was captivated by her vow/story. "I knew that you were destined for greatness. I knew you would make it and it scared me. You finally left and I was heart broken. We met up again and still you left. The day you returned to me I was the happiest mare in Equestria. The moment you decided to stay I was the luckiest. Even now you put up with me.. you could be flying out there becoming the top mare all over again and instead you left all that behind just to be with me... I will never stop loving you and never had before Even on my final day I will always love you Rainbow Dash. " Their emotions poured into words and two lovers wanted nothing more than to tear into each other in a sexual frenzy but they had a wedding to complete and a reception to attend.

Celestia had to wipe her eyes clear of tears before continuing her duties. "Wow... well lets move on. Do you.." She went on to read out the mandatory wedding vows. When finished she looked towards Rainbow Dash who stated two words that made Fluttershy so happy.

Celestia repeated on and looked towards Fluttershy and as if all the world was clear and the moment was perfect she uttered "I Do." At that moment the time space continuum had replayed all the moments leading up to this and the sounds of a filly and mares all resounded with the powerful phrase. Time and space returned to the present moment and the wedding ended

Celestia announced "I now pronounce you Mrs. Rainbow Dash and Mrs. Fluttershy... you may now kiss the bride." At that moment she had to step back as passion broke loose in the form of two wives kissing. No longer held back by formality they deepened the kiss causing aww's and blushes to spread through the crowd.

____________________________________________________________

The reception was a nice one. Dancing and schmoozing alike. The ponies were all happy with joy and even the unusually sad pony couldn't resist being joyful at a party she was throwing. The reception had friends from old and new. Teammates and princesses. The night was going with joy.

A dance was to take place a dance that would lead two wives to start the festivities for the rest of the party goers. The music was playing a song about a thousand years of dying each day and loving the other. ( Song here ) Two ponies pressed their bodies together. forelegs wrapped around each other. They slowly moved around as the song continued, Their bodies becoming weightless as flight began with them in place soaring into the sky slowly.. The dance continued in the sky. The cyan mare leading the timid one around. Their danced was watched by all and enjoyed by most. Some didn't like the slow movements and the extreme closeness it felt as if they were watching them make love. The movements weren't erotic just full of passion and emotions. Their bodies never straying far from the other as the music started to end. Soon they stopped and the lead pony bent the other pony back and gave her a passionate kiss when the song finished. The moment was one that would signify a happy life.

____________________________________________________________

A joyful celebration had ended with ponies dispersing for the night. Some were going home to bask in the presence of their loved ones and others were just going around places. No one had any rush to sleep. Happiness was like a spell that was cast all over a town. Though not all was joyful as the night ended emotions returned to the pink pony. She was talking to a zebra who was concerned about her train of thought.

"Are you sure what you speak is true? Is this what you really want to do?" She asked while a small frown splayed across her face hoping not to hear the words the other mare spoke of next.

"I Do." She said with finality. She was going to do what she needed to do. It was going to be her decision no matter the outcome.

Author's Note

Btw I stopped abusing a country accent for Applejack since I noticed it sounded wierd and not like her. She will still have an accent just not that exaggerated.

Anywho a wedding and some interesting stuff happened. But happiness can't stay forever... what will happen next? Next chapter will answer some of those pesky questions but not all. :P read and enjoy the next chapter will be made some time later just need to rest my fingers and think up how to properly bring out the next plot line without making it... too much? Idk anyways stick around more fanfiction on the way.

The Death of Pinkamena and the Birth of Appleseed

Hospitals, a building of changing fates, the beginning of lives and the end of them happen both here. Sometimes a life is saved and sometimes it is ended. Tragedy and miracles both stem from the same notion. Life is given or life is taken. Sometimes when we want things to change for the better it becomes worse. The life cycle is both vicious and necessary for things that are born also die.

Death is an inevitability. Nothing can alter the natural order even immortals die. Thus when a life is cut short tears are spilled faster. With new life comes death for in order for a new tree to be planted an old one must be taken away. Reality is an ever changing cycle of life and death.

Weeks since the wedding had passed and the land of Equestria is ready to welcome it's newest inhabitant. A farm mare screeches in pain and yells obscenities as she fights a battle against time to push an uncooperative foal out. The force of her pushes helps but the foal is not taking crap from anyone not even it's own mother. He is as stubborn as the mare who is bearing him.

The time passes by and a Unicorn had already fainted five times, after all she is the mother's marefriend and was going to be sort of a mother to the foal. She was as excited as the rest of the family and extended family. The entire apple clan came by to support Applejack and her foal Appleseed. They weren't sure about what the Unicorn was doing wearing a shirt that says "Congrat's your a mother.. of sorts" but they didn't pay no mind. They just were waiting to see if their new Apple member was healthy and fit.

Two pegasi are sitting by one nervous about her best friend being in labour and shouting "You can do it Applejack yeah!" Not understanding the concept of birth. She wasn't sure how birth played out still since she never asked but she figured it had to be intense for her friend to be screaming out loud. The shy one was chuckling at her wife's ignorance. It was cute to her and endearing how she cheered on a mare about to give birth as if it was some contest. "Rainbow... when our foal is ready to enter this world please don't cheer me on.. you will understand when you are in the room with me." She said while calming down her excited mare.

Big Mac was just pacing around and giving the nurses a an uneasy feeling. He was just pacing back and forth as if in deep thought. He was excited about the prospect of a new Apple but felt it was his duty as the oldest surviving member to bring forth a new generation himself. He was hoping he could convince Cheerilee to bear him a foal and make her an honest woman. He felt ashamed his sister was able to bring forth new life and he hasn't still. Still he was worried, the pregnancy hasn't been easy on the farm mare, she had been sluggish as of late and he was hoping she didn't die out on the table with her foal not knowing who his mother was. The relationship between his sister and the dramatic unicorn who had just woken up from her fifth exaggerated panic attack was rocky at best. He would hear their fights and just grumbled about them two stupid mares. He was not that excited about the fact the farm had expanded and that meant more work for all of them. Even with the new land the farm wasn't making that much from sells and expenses were wracking up. He begrudgingly had to admit the Unicorn was a blessing in disguise. She was able to help pay off any debts the farm had acquired with her new wealth. He still didn't approve of their relationship as much as he would normally if it was a mare and a stallion,

Twilight Sparkle was in the waiting room with her friends. She kept looking over at Pinkamena who seemed lifeless and wilted. She hadn't been able to extract Pinkie Pie yet and with no aid towards that goal she had decided to give up a while back. The new pink pony in her opinion wasn't that great of a pony. Pinkamena was dark and broody and shamelessly obsessed with Rainbow Dash. She found that out when she caught her making out... with a picture. She told no one about it because it was just too creepy and also it would ruin Pinkamena. She was still sharing a body with Pinkie Pie... so anything that affected one while connected effected the other.

Pinkamena wasn't excited.. she hadn't felt any emotions since she was taking some doses of a potion Zecora made. The potion has been killing off her ability to feel anything. She didn't like the pain of not being with the one she couldn't have. She didn't enjoy the town looking at her as if she was a plague. She also couldn't stand feeling happy around Dash just for the feeling to end when she was gone. She was slowly enjoying the feeling of emptiness. Much to Pinkie Pie's dismay of course. The nights were becoming more rough. Pinkie Pie wanted to take over and stop Pinkamena from contuining down the path she was going. It was hurting Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena with side effects. The headaches and the nightmares were ever increasing as a result of the 'medicine'. She didn't care though because at least she couldn't feel the heart ache of being alone and not being able to love another correctly.

She tried dating before and it wasn't able to work. Each stallion had no motives to being with the pink mare any longer than a first date. They didn't enjoy her personality and were expecting to bring Pinkie Pie back if they made her smile. No such luck because she never smiled. She only smiled when she saw a cyan mare with a rainbow mane. She started obsessing harder before she spoke with Zecora and began taking the medicine. There were discarded feathers and pictures all over her 'shrine' and she had Rainbow Dash paraphernalia all over her room. Wonderbolt posters signed by Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash socks she used to hoof herself with. She would wear them and pretend the rainbow socked hoof was not hers. She was delirious with pleasure when she did that. She realized how much laundry she was doing before it got to critical point.

One night with her 4th wall breaking abilities and physics abusing powers she snuck into Rainbow Dash's house while she and Fluttershy were asleep. She was so quiet that none of them heard her. She crept up to Dashie's side and sniffed her hair a bit. She got really into it and started to lick it. She was enjoying herself. Though she had to stop because she was getting aroused and didn't want to leave any evidence. She was sad but she made herself disappear silent as the night.

that night she was unable to sleep till her third self induced orgasm and some tears spilling down her face. She couldn't take it anymore.. she wasn't able to count on Fluttershy dying anymore and the wedding was on it's way. it was too late for her. The mind refused to ignore that Rainbow Dash would be with her lover forever.

The potion was wearing off so she took a sip of it and put it back in her pouch. She claimed it was just a new drink she favored and when asked to share she would refuse and say it's meant just for her. Normally that would get Scootaloo to just let it go. No one else cared about her drink because well it's just Pinkamena.. being Pinkie... the only one who understood her was a filly and a cyan mare. The rest just thought she was sad and blue and would one day recover if given enough time.

____________________________________________________________

Finally enough time had passed and the battle of mom and foal ended. The foal was successfully birthed and was now out in the world. Appleseed cried allowing the world to know he had arrived. He was now a part of the universe and the timeline. Space and order had now a new pawn in it's ever endless role of the dice. The fate of a new born was usually determined the first night. The foal was Appleseed and he looked like his mother but had his father's mane. A foal with no cutie mark or already branded destiny. an earth pony with as much potential as his aunt.

Life was a gift and one not to be wasted. The mother of the new foal was exhausted and when they allowed visitors she demanded they let in the unicorn. When she saw rarity approach her she smiled and cried "He is born Sugar Cube.. my Appleseed is here." She said excitedly.

The doctors were finished prepping the foal and allowed the mother to hold it for a few before bringing it to the room with the other foals. "Name... ?" A doctor asked wanting to get the information.

"His name is Appleseed." She stated proudly and tired as her somewhat lover held her gently " My name is Applejack and I am his mother." She pre-answered knowing the question that would follow but forgot one last one that haunted her and made her almost cry.

"Who's name of the father?" The doctor asked wondering why a mare unicorn was sitting to intimately close and tending to the new mother instead of a stallion. So he figured, it's one of those couples ok... I will just play it off and pretend I am not a insensitive stallion. He went towards Rarity and asked "Your name is?"

She absent mindedly answered forgetting that the question was going to indicate that the child was part hers or was her's in some way. "Rarity, Darling why you ask?" She said with a gentle smile.

"Well I needed a name to put for the father/other parent so I put down yours giving the nature of your relationship. Anyways time for questions over I got some other babies to document." He said before anyone could stop him.

Rarity looked worried and uncomfortable and was too afraid to look at Applejack. "I didn't know... I hope you aren't mad." she said with her face down and her hooves still in contact with the other mare.

Applejack didn't know whether to be infuriated at the marshmallow mare or upset that the name of the stallion who gave her the dna for the foal wasn't a memory or a thought in her mind. "Ya know what Sugar Cube... regardless of what happens between us... I would be honored if ya considered yerself a mother to my foal." She said with honesty as her element would suggest.

Rarity cried into her somewhat lover's neck and held her tight. "This means so much to me... I love you Applejack... I really do." She said softly so the mood wasn't ruined by anyone nosy enough to eaves drop.

Applejack just smiled and with a tone of complete and total conviction responded with "I love ya too Rarity... I love ya too." softly as the words were spoken the deepness of them trembled over the other mare's body as she shook with elation.

A moment that would be ruined by the questioning looks of the Apple Clan.

____________________________________________________________

The viewing room was filled with ponies looking at the babies. A cyan mare was looking for the most impressive and coolest foal for surely it would be Appleseed. "Maybe it's him... or him... I have a strong feeling about him.." She kept randomly pointing with her hoof. Fluttershy was embarrassed. Ever since the wedding Rainbow Dash had been back to her old self before the whole Wonderbolts experience. Yet she was also better. In her mind it was great for the improvement of attitude and new found responsibility. She was teaching correctly and even helping students who weren't as great as the others. The weather team were working fluidly now as the media wasn't so keen on the cyan mare. It seemed as if she wasn't the super star as she used to be. She was still recognized but she wasn't put on a pedestal anymore. "Honey... it's the one with the name Appleseed on his chart... that is the foal that belongs to Applejack...and I think he looks sort of awesome." She said coaxing her lover into going on about how awesome the foal will be once he hangs out with his auntie dash. It was easy to get her lover riled up. She enjoyed it at times and other times it would be an annoyance.

Twilight was thrilled about the foal since he was bringing joy to a distraught friend. Twilight knew Rarity was some what helping Applejack through this rough patch but it seemed as if Applejack was just giving up. Now with Appleseed surely the farm mare would have more fight back and be able to rebound from the tragic loss of her grandmother. The storm took more than lives that day long ago. Twilight wasn't there to help out.. She had separated from her friends and exiled herself to the Crystal Empire long ago. Then her return there recently had caused it to collapse.. even if it was months ago it was still a vivid memory. Now she was living in the library and often visiting Canter lot.. often visiting it indeed.

Pinkamena had trouble being in the viewing room because it was causing Pinkie to surface... Damn it ... stupid Hospital.. I just have to stay here a bit longer... and then we can all go out and celebrate the arrival of Appleseed in my 'Appleseed is born and were going to celebrate' party... I am sounding like her... Is she slowly taking over? She held her composure and started drinking more of the tonic.

It was helping in keeping the pain away and the Pinkie Pie away. Like apples to a doctor this potion was doing it's job. Ironically the thought made her think of the new foal... what kind of innate earth pony magic would the foal express if she was to foal-sit. Then again she wasn't thinking about that. Her life was slowly collapsing around her anyways. She didn't want to be Pinkie or Pinkamena... she didn't enjoy life feeling empty.

____________________________________________________________

The hospital room was a buzz with noise. From silent objections being whispered to a fool hardy roar of anger. " How dare you ruin the Apple name by filly-fooling?" Said one stallion known as Braeburn. He wasn't against dating outside the race since he himself has a thing for Little Strong Arm but he didn't tolerate no filly fooling. It was as bad as colt cuddling. " I mean I shelter you and your kin after that storm and just to find out you are a dirty filly-fooler ?" he spat with disgust.

Big Mac was ready to destroy Braeburn but surprisingly some pony else beat him to the punch. Rarity threw a hoof across his face and snorted in anger "This is the happiest day of her life... she had just given new life and a new start to the Apple family... and you dare.. dare insult her for allowing herself to cure her loneliness with someone who would actually care about her and not just use her for a good time?" She was livid. Big Mac had suddenly learned that he respects Rarity after seeing her get vicious and defend his sister.

He wasn't going to let any pony show him up Big Mac with his most frightening voice he could muster " Any pony who has a problem with my sister... regardless what about her is bothering you, you can address it with me... outside partner." That got the hate speeches to die down and suddenly some shame faced ponies looking down while some of them leaving in anger.

Braeburn spoke as he relaxed his jaw and spat out saliva "I don't care if don't have a problem with it Big Mac, but you know our traditions... if Granny Smith..." Before he could finish that sentence he was interrupted by a loud and angry Applejack.

"If my granny what? What? Ya think ya know my granny? She loved Rainbow Dash and Dash is a filly-fooler. Granny smith knew and she didn't mind. I am sure if Granny smith saw me with Rarity she wouldn't mind none as long as we were happy... and I am happy... I am happy to be with some pony who loves me for me and not just for what my body can do in bed." Applejack was tired and not in the mood to continue this argument "Look Braeburn ya will always be kin. But right now I don't know ya from dirt. Now git... git yerself out of here and don't return to Ponyville ya hear?"

Braeburn just left and went to the train station to head back home to Appleloosa he had no right to be here in this town. It was a town for him. He had his traditions and world views. It wouldn't change for any pony. That is how stubborn an Apple clan member can be.

____________________________________________________________

It was getting late and the ponies were told they would have to leave. It was saddening for them to go without being able to take Applejack and Appleseed with them. Rarity refused to leave and was told she would have to be dragged out kicking and screaming. Since they weren't in the mood to put up with a fight they allowed her to stay the night. The others started walking out the hospital and Rainbow Dash had a wing over her wife.

Twilight noticed Pinkamena get upset about this and asked "Are you ok Pinkamena?" She was hoping she could get some kind of perspective on just what was going through the mind of the hard to figure out pony.

"No Twilight nothing is wrong... just was hoping we could all have a party tonight, I was hoping we could all celebrate the birth of Appleseed and all be happy... Just wanted a party is all." She said slowly but not hinting how desperate she was for some pony to care about her. She didn't feel as loved as she was when she was PInkie.. it wasn't fair to her that some body stealing anomaly was loved more than the actual pony. It was like she was robbed of her body for years and when it's finally brought back to her it wasn't even her own anymore. She felt so out of place from the current world. Depression was sinking faster than any tonic could handle. The pain suddenly was returning even with the tonic still freshly administered.

Twilight was unaware of just how deep the pain her friend was hiding. "Hey... Pinkamena I know you are in the party mood but there will always be next time right? I mean we can't party all the time.. So it will just have to wait it's not like any of us will be leaving soon. We will all stick around for Appleseed's first day out the hospital. Then we can have that party"She said with a smile that was both genuine and a bit exaggerated.

"Yeah I guess so Twilight, you are right we all will be here for Appleseed's first day out of the hospital and then I can throw a killer party. Well not killer of course. I don't anyone to die." She said almost reverting to the pink mess of a pony that ate baked sweets all day and made the world smile. This is my body.. damn it I am PInkamena... I am Pinkamena..

____________________________________________________________

Pinkamena was home alone and it was dark. The cakes had been gone for the week with the foals as Pinkamena ran the shop. Even if her mood wasn't the best she was still a damn fine baker and was easily more responsible. Though tonight she wasn't about responsibility. She was going to write her suicide note and hope that she doesn't have to deliver it to the one mare who drove her to this point. Well I can't deliver it... I know it will be found regardless... some pony will check up on me one day and if not then I guess it won't matter anyways.

She had written the letter out and as she did her tears constantly dripped. She wasn't proud of her decision. She had to do it. The pain was too much. She needed it to stop. Just as she finished writing it she heard a noise at her window. It was someone she didn't expect to see her in her final hour. The element of loyalty herself....

She opened the window and smiled as she invited her 'guest' in "What are you doing here this late Dashie?" She asked with a somewhat calm tone to hide her future actions. she was going to resume her plan as soon as the cyan mare of her dreams left.

"Pinkamena... I don't know why but something tells me I need to be here... I couldn't get to sleep and I told Fluttershy about it and she told me to go see you. I hope you are not hiding something from us. You know we all care about you." She said approaching the other mare who was backing away slowly.

Pinkamena didn't want to let the letter be discovered especially when the intended reader was right infront of her backing her into a wall. "Look... Dashie I am tired, I am fine ok? I can smile for you if you want... I can do anything you want." She said almost lustfully. She was thinking about having some fun before going... she could just force herself and get at least something before ending her life.

Rainbow Dash was half tired because she just swore she heard her friend coming on to her. Ignoring it and focusing on what's really going on she kept backing her into the wall and seeing what she was hiding. "Listen if you have something dangerous I need you to put it down for both our sakes. I just need to make sure you are alright... then I will go ok?" she said while observing her friend to make sure she wasn't going to injure herself or the rainbow maned mare.

Pinkamena finally relented in hiding the letter and just let it drop. "That is all I had on me... I wasn't carrying any weapons Dashie... I was just writing a letter to someone special. Why are you so scared Dashie?" She said in a soft tone hoping to calm the athletic pegasus.

"Because I have lost so much already Pinkamena.. I have lost too many things and I don't want to lose another pony in my life... I don't know what I would do if you died... you don't know this Pinkamena.. but you and Pinkie... were cheering me on even when the others weren't around. You constantly followed me around and as annoying as it was it showed how much you wanted to hang out. Ever since I brought you back from the insane asylum you have been a little off and then something happened at that therapist office that changed you... into Pinkamena.... I feel so bucked up because I never got around to helping you and finding out what has caused this. I have been so wrapped up in my own problems that I completely ignored yours... Please Pinkie/Pinkamena... Let me help you... I feel like if I leave now... I won't see you again and that will hurt me deeply. " She said slowly leaning forward wanting to pull Pinkamena into a hug.

Pinkamena refused the hug and pushed her back "No... How dare you come here and do this? You know what it's not fair. You say all these nice things but it doesn't matter Dashie... because you will never love me like I love you... I love you so much Dashie... I had to hide it as both Pinkie and Pinkamena... you are the reason I smile. That day the Sonic Rainboom it stole my life... You created Pinkie... in a sick way you are her mother... the magic of the Rainboom fried my mind that day. Only extreme sorrow brought me back once. I was then again saved from the torment of being sad by you... Rainbow.... I can't live with out you in my life but... you love Fluttershy and not me..... I can't compete with her.... she has you all to herself... I can't be here in this world knowing the one pony I want isn't available ever." She started pouring out tears she never knew she had. The water was refreshing for her face as she was never able to cry before since she stopped being Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash was taken aback. "Why... why didn't you tell me how you felt before? Why did you wait till after I got married to let me know this Pinkie... you.... and I.... maybe if..." She stopped... she couldn't say this to her now it would be unfair and it was unfair to Fluttershy too.

Pinkamena wasn't happy and neither was she going to be pitied "No... see if I had told you as either Pinkie or Pinkamena would you really have loved me back? I don't think you would... you knew damn well I would have been another fling. You have always loved Fluttershy... I could tell you know. I saw it in you two... The way you two always seemed to be flying together at random times when you were a speedy mare and she was a slow flying one. You loved her and even if you liked me just a bit... It wasn't enough... I want you Rainbow Dash. I want you so badly... I even have a shrine ... it has your feathers... I rub them all over myself." She started saying before she started moving inch by inch closer to Rainbow Dash who was now backing up. "I used the Rainbow Dash socks to hoof myself... I pretended it was you hoofing me as I let myself ride out in ecstasy thinking of you. I have even went into your home while you slept and licked your hair.. had I allowed myself to get lost in it I would have left a stain in your home... You don't understand Rainbow Dash I would do things to you that would make you cum hard... really hard." She said as she was inches away from her would be prey as she saw her back up to the wall.

"Stop this.... what is wrong with you... Why didn't you tell anyone? You need help.. normal ponies don't do these things... Pinkie Pinkamena whatever... Damn it Why didn't you say something to some pony?" She asked with tears pouring down her face and anger pouring from her in waves. She saw the other pony wince and back up. Scared look on her face and shaking.

" No pony cares that's why... you think any pony wanted to know about good ole Pinkie Pie when she stopped being Pinkie? No... They all loved her.. it was so unfair it was my body she used and my body she inhabited. She was the one who was the other Pinkie.. why are people here so mean to me? I wanted to be liked too you know.. I wanted to be loved like her... but also I wanted you... You Rainbow Dash.... it had to be you huh? When you left after that month you came back to visit as that one time. It sucked... you were gone and I was losing it. I lost it... I mean she lost it... Buck I don't even know anymore. We were losing our minds and you were living it up. We stopped caring about the world around us slowly as we could only think about the horrible ways we were killing you... different and inventive ways... sometimes it wasn't just murder... sometimes I would tie you down and have my way with you before cutting you up to pieces and she would have dreams where she would rip your wings out so you couldn't leave her side. We had bucked up dreams... for the longest and then we snapped. We lost our minds. I slowly started gaining a foot hold on my body again." She said before huffing for air after revealing such a shocking truth.

"But.... what?" she said knowing something else happened... she didn't know what to expect but suddenly that room felt smaller than it was and her fear and arousal at the nightmares were increasing. She was aroused at the sexual parts images of her tied down and being forced by her friend threw her head into the 'hot' portion of her receptive mind. The other one was fear of being killed in various ways.

"Then you came... to the rescue... and we told you we loved you... and after all that you just plunked us down infront of the group and ran off.... you ran off and went straight for Fluttershy... well first you went for Scootaloo but that isn't the point... you left again as soon as you came because I wasn't the one you wanted to save... you just needed me to save her..." She said while sobbing her eyes out. The pain of being indirectly used and the pain of having a love not returned. She was losing it. "Why Dashie... Why can't you just leave her and love me... I can do anything you want... I can make you happy... I can... I can love you..." She said pleading and watching her friend panic.

"Look.... I am sorry you feel that way... but you need help... you need help and I need to go.... I need you to Pinkie promise me you won't kill yourself... I know you won't kill yourself if you Pinkie promise because no one breaks one right? No pony ever breaks one so please Pinkie promise me.... and I promise you I will help you get through this. I will help you become better and we can put this whole thing behind us.. Please just Pinkie promise me you won't kill yourself alright?" she begged... she wanted to go to her lover and sleep off this turmoil so she could think better and find help for her friend ... Maybe twilight can help her and then we can all just get past this. I love you pinks but as a friend and when this is all over we can just hang out and stuff... I miss you pinks... more than you know buddy.

Pinkamena Diane Pie did the one thing she thought she would never do that night "I Pinkie promise I won't kill myself Rainbow Dash." She said with a soft smile... the smile that betrayed her thoughts because that night she broke a Pinkie promise... since she was going to lose her friends forever.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was satisfied with that.... she wasn't sure how to handle this but knew it was beyond her scope to attempt. The therapy sessions seemed to work fine Pinkamena even said she went on her own... she was visiting regularly and was being helped.... Just before being able to land home she made a dark sudden realization... Pinkamena never left town... she never went to the therapist..... she was lying this whole time... which means...

She hoped she was fast enough to stop her... She moved very fast without Sonic Rainbooming the town to pieces... she needed to make it on time...

____________________________________________________________

Pinkamena lay lifeless her blood soaked the sheets on her bed. She was drifting off into the void... emptiness over took her. She was free of all pain and worries. She wasn't alive for long but it was enough for her. She had made a small friend and finally told the mare of her dreams how she felt. I am sorry I had to lie to you Dashie... but I know you will forgive me,... my love.

She had written a letter that was on the desk it was taped to it so the wind didn't blow it away when Rainbow Dash would come back. Pinkamena knew she would catch on... but she knew it would be too late. She wasn't the smartest pegasus after all. The letter had read

Dear Rainbow Dash and friends...

I know it's odd to start by addressing just one of you and the rest of you as just friends of Rainbow Dash but I feel that is how it is anyways. Ever since I got control of my own body it feels as if all my friends had left me. My new personality wasn't the one you wanted you just gave up on me. Not Dashie.. not the mare I loved... she was my friend till the end and even if I never get to say it... I love you Dashie. You taught me to smile and I always felt happy with you around. Anyways I hope you can forgive me for being a coward and dying.. I just knew I couldn't be happy anymore... I am not Pinkie and I can't pretend to smile and constantly stuff sweet food in my mouth to hide the pain of loneliness. Tell Scootaloo that I am sorry we can't hang out anymore and that I always enjoyed making her snacks because she was always willing to hang out. Fluttershy please take care of my Dashie... even though she is your Dashie... I claimed her first so do that for me. Oh by the way can some pony take care of Gummy? I know he isn't an ideal pet but he is friendly. I just know one of you will. Lastly I just want to say I am sorry twilight but I don't think I will be making that party for Appleseed. I hope he lives a good life.. maybe he will be like better than I was. So with this all said I just have one thing to say . Good Bye every pony and thank you for being my friend.

Yours forever
Pinkamena Diane Pie

Author's Note

So ... that happened... just when things were getting good for every pony this had to happen... poor Pinkamena. But sadly this is a reality when neglect and rejection takes place... especially those who feel strongly..

Feels cannon... turn yourself off already...

Just Smile for Me Dashie!

A cloudy and dark day was depressing the residents of Ponyville. The very essence of laughter was dead. A funeral for the premiere party pony was being held. The chairs weren't empty as all of Ponyville was mourning the loss of Pinkamena Diane Pie. She was a hero to some with her bright cheery mood and her ability to make any pony smile. Even a cranky donkey.

Her death came as sad news to all of Ponyville and parts of Equestria. a life full of brightness and smiles. Snuffed out like a candle in a windy cave. Nothing left but darkness. She was a friend to some and like a daughter to two bakers. No one had anything bad to say or any ill will towards the pink pony. The rain dropping from the sky was not as rapid as the cascading waters falling from each pony's face.

Each pony was wearing a black ensemble whether it be suits or dresses it was all in black. Rarity had spent a good portion of her time making the dresses and suits for every pony. She had been crying even more so since the day Pinkie died. Even for a drama queen she was over doing it. Then again when Rarity sheds tears she really sheds tears.

Applejack had little Appleseed in a stroller next to her. He was just a baby and already one of his aunties died. "Auntie Pinkie Pie" She said remembering how Pinkie Pie referred herself as their aunts. Applejack felt the loss of a good friend. Even if she became Pinkamena it was still pinkie's body.

Twilight was depressed. She hadn't seen the signs and if she had she could have helped her. It was her fault she felt. She was so obtuse about Pinkie Pie/Pinkamena's feelings. Why didn't I pay attention... Why did I let her die... I am such a bad friend... I am sorry Pinkamena...

Fluttershy was crying loudly almost as bad as the hair extension incident during the time the Cutie Mark Crusaders were pretending to be some hot shot reporter filly named Gabby Gums. She was bawling her eyes out. She was being held by her wife who was dead inside.

Rainbow Dash was dead, almost as dead as Pinkie but she wasn't actually dead just emotionally dead. She felt the worse out of all of Pinkie's friends. She felt guilty about leaving Pinkie to return home, she felt guilty about rejecting her even if she couldn't accept her advances, and even worse she felt guilty about being a Wonderbolt. She was devastated another pony died because of her. How many more ponies have to die because of her decisions? First Granny Smith... Lightning Dust... now Pinkie Pie/Pinkamena. She didn't know who else would be the victim of her awful decisions.

A little filly dressed in a black suit stood out as she walked up to the casket with a cupcake that she baked herself. It took her many tries to finally make a decent cupcake and her fillyfriend helped. Diamond Tiara had been dating scoots for a while though she doesn't know that Scoots wasn't that into her however that has changed since those days. Now in this event Diamond Tiara stood side by side with scoots as they placed the cupcake on the casket. "Thanks for the sweets Pinkamena... you were my best friend in the whole wide world. I am sorry I didn't get to save you... I know I would have done so... unlike Momma-Dash... she let you die..." She said really loudly. Suddenly every pony was agreeing with her.

"Yeah that is right. Rainbow Dash did let her die." Came one pony. "Yes she probably watched her die and enjoyed it." Came another "Stupid Dash probably became a Wonderbolt just to have Pinkie die." Some other pony said. Soon they were all making a cacophony of angry accusations and the casket burst open revealing a dead Pinkamena rise from the casket moaning "You killed.. me... you knew I was going to kill myself.... you let it happen." The zombie Pinkamena crawled her way to Rainbow Dash before everything went black.

____________________________________________________________

"Noooooooo" A loud shout as a cyan mare was panicking and fumbling around .... she fell of the chair she was sitting on and was hearing a voice "it was just a dream my love... it's ok... you are ok.... it can't hurt you.." Said the calming voice that cooed the startled mare.

Rainbow Dash felt her senses come back to her and she was able to see her wife holding on to her and gently stroking her mane. She grabbed her wife into a strong hug and started crying. Her dream haunted her and it made her wish she could stop sleeping.

Fluttershy calmed her lover with her presence and voice. She was dealing with this ever since she had gotten word about Pinkamena's tragic suicide attempt. "Listen Dash my love... You need to relax ok... You didn't fail... you got her here in time .... I know it's scary because there is still a chance she may die but you need to calm down or they will kick you out..." Fluttershy said in her most gentle of tones trying to be supportive and caring. She wasn't able to soothe her wife much since the night of Pinkie's admittance. It had been three days since and Rainbow Dash had refused to leave the room.

At first the doctors were not ok with it but Fluttershy promised them it would be alright and she would keep her wife stable. Initially Rainbow Dash's first visit came with the threat of death to any pony and every pony if they didn't save her friend.

Flashback

Ponyville hospital emergency wing, the place where fast reaction was the key between life and death. The usually calm doctors were started by a sudden appearance. A very nervous and panicking pegasus had a lifeless earth pony in her grips and was begging for some pony to help her.

"Help me please... my friend... she lost a lot of blood HELP HER! ... SAVE HER LIFE ! STOP LOOKING AT ME AND HELP!" She said infuriated the doctors quickly got a gurney and quickly began checking for signs of life.. it was grim and the chances are the body was beyond saving. They tried to explain it to the furious pegasus to only earn a death threat "Listen I have money so if it is an issue about costs it doesn't matter just bucking save her.... I don't care how much it costs what you need to do just bucking save her... You better do everything in your power to save her or I will start raining all kinds of hell and that isn't a threat ... that is a bucking promise.... "She said while sobbing... it wasn't usual to see the pegasus known as Rainbow Dash crying. Especially not in public. The doctors felt so bad for her.

Just for the sake of making a sad mare happy and since they were going to be paid for the use of the tools they decided to try desperately to save the pink pony. The first attempts at resuscitation failed. The second and third as well they were ready to call it tilll they tried once more by injecting Adrenaline into her heart and shocking it at the same time it jump started her heart and for one second she was awake before falling into a coma. "Dashie...Smile." Was all she said before they began treating her.

She was injected with blood and the transfusion worked but her condition wasn't stable. They tried all they could but for now it was up to fate.

____________________________________________________________

The doctors had come in because of the scream and tried to let it go. The mare was distraught and refused to leave the pink pony's side. Many attempts to remove her have failed. They tried by force and learned why no one should ever attempt forcing a powerful pegasus. They tried diplomacy and it failed worse since the words buck and horse apples were tossed around frantically. Then they tried using her friends to help. Each attempt failed even harder then the next. Nothing was budging that pegasus from the room until her friend would wake.. if she woke at all.

Her progression wasn't happening at a rate that could be considered a recovery. She was still in the instability category and unable to respond to any sort of medication. It was as if the pony's body was alive but the pony's mind wasn't there. She wasn't a vegetable but she wasn't showing any signs of being able to come out of the coma.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was sitting in the room alone at night with Pinkie's body... the monitor was still slowly beeping each beep signifying life. That was all she needed. She was fine as long as it beeped. the beeping suddenly got quieter and she was suddenly seeing black...

When she opened her eyes she was at the hospital still and in the room but someone was sitting next to her. "Pinkie... Pie?" She asked rubbing her eyes and checking to see if some pony was really there.

"Yeppers I am here Dashie... I missed you so much Dashie... so what we doing here?" she asked as if she was all ok and back to her normal Pinkie self.

Rainbow Dash shrugged and mumbled "I don't know... I forgot why we were here to be honest... something about you hurting yourself but... you are right here." She said confused.

"I know silly Dashie... Just you know I am dead right? I mean you know I can't come back and you are wasting your money trying to save me... Your a superific friend Dashie... and I promise you it isn't your fault I am dead but I am dead... you have to move on with your life Dashie.. and promise me you will smile... I need you to smile Dashie!" She said before disappearing.

Rainbow Dash cried out "NOOOO Pinkie don't Goooo!"
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fluttershy was saddened by this and was confused... "Rainbow.... wake up... you are having another nightmare... please my love I need you to stop. I am getting worried. " She said softly as she moved her lover's half sleeping body. They were on their bed at home.

Suddenly Rainbow Dash froze up "Fluttershy... Why aren't we at the hospital?" She asked confused her mind was reeling and she was feeling out of it.

Fluttershy looked at her sadly as if she was about to tell her that something tragic happened. "Rainbow ... I am worried about you. It has been a week since Pinkie has died... you still haven't accepted it and now you are having terrible nightmares... we all are getting worried." She said quietly and scared about her lover's descent into madness.

Just then Pinkie Pie appeared "Quiet you stupid meanie head... She doesn't need to know I am dead... she just needs to smile... Dashie.. I just need you to smile... promise me that even if I am gone... you will smile for me Dashie!"

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash awoke crying "Make it stop make it stop..... Please.... Stop it..." She cried and was held tight by her lover, the nights were the worst. Rainbow Dash couldn't stop having these terrible nightmares.. always waking up to Fluttershy holding her down and keeping her calm. The hospital staff at this point were use to it. It was ignored. The situation was out of their hands anyways.

Fluttershy brought her wife into the bathroom to clean her up and groom her. She was doing her best to be strong for the both of them. She had to be strong since her wife was needing her more than ever. Two weeks had passed since Pinkie's conditioned worsened. Her heart beats were becoming irregular. None of the pegasi were giving up on their friend. The other's were trying to help raise money for Pinkie's cause. Rainbow Dash's funds were depleting and since she wasn't doing any of her jobs she wasn't getting paid. She was willing to empty her bank accounts but the others weren't letting her. They had to help too.

Rarity had been selling even more custom outfits while working in her new studio in Applejack's house. It was a joint effort as Rarity decided to move in with the farmer. She didn't care about what her customers thought of her marefriend because if they didn't like it well they could suck it. To this day the it that they could suck still hasn't been defined. Still suck it they definitely could.

The farm itself was picking up business again. Suddenly apples were being craved.. maybe some pony slipped something into the soil, nah just them ponies wanting my apples... that sounded wrong. She was trying to balance expenses and other necessities and helping with Pinkie's hospital bills.

Twilight was looking for books on helping with mental irregularities and recovering comatose patients. She wanted to see if there was anything they could do on the mental front to help Pinkie Pie or Pinkamena recover. Celestia was keeping Twilight comfort in this tragedy that was unfolding.

Even Spitfire was willing to help. The win win of Pinkie living was they would have an able dash who would need to perform to help get her bank account back in good shape. She wasn't sure how much the pony had saved with hiring her wife as her manager and accountant. I bet that mare has more money in her account than before with the way that smart mare was dealing with the books. The books meaning a ledger that Fluttershy had kept that kept track of receipts and bills and other expenses tracking and managing how much was made and spent. That mare has some brains for a animal caregiver.

The media and fans were in an outcry over how much their hero and favorite Wonderbolt was proving how good a friend she was. The story was headline news. All over Equestria the story of tragedy and friendship made tears flow from all kinds of ponies of the great nation. Soon ponies from everywhere were showing support for the cause of keeping Pinkie alive.

It was an uplifting story of saving a life. They praised Rainbow Dash as a "true hero" and it was just making her feel worse. The publicity from this was making her famous again.. her stardom rising from a single act of vigilance. The more her fans proclaimed her a hero the more it hurt her.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was flying around in a costume. There was a shield symbol on her chest area of her costume with a red D on it. She was the only hope for Equestria. She heard a voice that got her attention as she was soaring around the world at super speeds "Help Help Help." Cried the voice the familiar sound made her rush double time.

Pinkie Pie was falling at incredible speeds and Rainbow Dash dived down and Sonic Rainboomed towards her damsel in distress. She was a hero after all and would be able to save her. She swooped down just in time and grabbed her before the... lifeless body could hit the floor.... suddenly the bright scenery was turning dark and the blades of grass became dried and faded.

The lifeless body moved a bit and the face with dark glowing eyes chuckled "You can't save me... I am dead.... you need to move on and accept it. Also while you decide to accept the fact I am soo totally dead... I need you to do something for me Dashie.. I need you to smile... Smile for me Dashie!" The voice came as the body melted into goo and slid into the cracks of the surface.

"Nooooo.... I can save you.... Please.... " Rainbow's voice lurched before the world started spinning.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was in a dark prison and she couldn't escape... she was suddenly visited by her jailer. "Hey Pinkie... I think it's time you left... you have to go now because I am ending this all. I tried living my life and you... you always had yours. I guess I was just jealous of you. Since you made everyone smile. Well there is one pony I need you to make smile that I can't I am dead... you are not dead. I hope you can follow this logic and see where I am going."

Pinkie Pie blinked. It was the same pony who locked her up for months forcing her to see things and do things she didn't want to see or do. "So ... why are you letting me go if you hate me?" She asked making sure this wasn't some kind of trap.

Pinkamena had a darker tone than usual and her neck had a visible scar. " Listen... I have come to terms with my unhappiness... I left my life because I didn't belong.. but you do. I tried killing us both but your stubborn obsession saved us... I am dead though... she can't move on from that fact. Since she is wasting her time and money on us I guess... you should be rewarded with life since your friend ... really wants you around Pinkie Pie." She said with a broken, not beating, heart.

Pinkie Pie was sad "Why can't you just join me? We don't have to be enemies... we can be friends.. won't you be my friend Pinkamena.... we belong together you and I.... I can't always be Pinkie Pie and you can't always be you. We need each other if we are going to survive.... Let me help you smile." She said in hopes her new 'friend' would want to smile.

Pinkamena chuckled " You don't get it Pinkie Pie... I am dead I can't be your friend... if you want to live hurry. You must go and don't worry I may be dead to the outside world but I will always be here... but I will be silent now... since I am dead and all. Just go Pinkie.... while there is still time."

Pinkie Pie smiled and her hair puffed up her coat returning to it's normal shine " Thank you PInkamena... and also I am sorry about everything... maybe one day we can make you smile... By the way who is the pony you want me to make smile just in case a big stupid pants like myself forgot?" She said knowing full well who the intended victim of one smile planting would be.

"You know who it is... it's the one we can't have... the one we shall love from afar but never love from up close. The one who makes us smi... you cheeky pink bitch... now get out of here." she said with a small smile.

Pinkie Pie looked determined as she closed the door behind her and locked Pinkamena in. She wouldn't be able to exit now which means Pinkie would be Pinkie if she made it. "I am coming Dashie... just smile for me.... I will make you smile again and things will be superific."

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was about to give up hope... "When I say now.... pull the plug and let her rest in peace." She said after two exhausting weeks of keeping the pink pony alive. There was no recovery... no hope and nothing to stay for. The Pinkie Pie in her dreams were right she had to move on... and now it was time to move on.

The doctors were ready to and waited. But they knew Rainbow had told them if they first now is part of the speech don't pull the plug. Just in case they accidentally ruined her long winded good bye.

Rainbow Dash with her wife at her side got close to her friend and gently rubbed her mane softly stroking it while looking at her with tears pouring down her face. "Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena... you two were great ponies. I especially loved my friend Pinkie Pie... she was happy and energetic. She always made any pony smile... no matter what we did you would always enjoy it, now I can't even seem to stop thinking about you... I wish I knew how you felt before I left. We could have dealt with those feelings together. I can't love you like that but I could have made sure you still felt loved as a friend. If you didn't want me around or something fine I would have left you be... I just wished I could have saved you... I ... I failed you but... I tried.. I tried to make it up. I stayed here day after day hour after hour just to make sure you had some kind of hope to recover. I don't mind the cost Pinkie the reason I am letting go is because there isn't any sign you will come out of this alive. I know you want to rest in peace the dream version of you tells me so. I want to give you that peace and let you die... I want you to know this death doesn't mean good bye... one day I shall join you in the other world and we will go pranking... we will prank the pants off every pony.. if you were alive you would say 'pony don't wear pants silly Dashie' or something like that... heh... you know what... I don't think you will ever die Pinkie... I think you will live on as part of me... but still.... I am hoping that my long winded stall will some how make you wake up. I will be honest.. I am not ready to see you die... I can't accept letting you go but I have to face it. This isn't some fantasy world where ponies never die and everything ends alright. I have to accept that I can't save every pony I try to save. Some lives can't be saved.... I just hope you don't blame me and I hope you can forgive me... I just.... I just wish you would wake up and save me from my pain Pinkie... but since you can't I want you to know this smile is just for you." She said with tears pouring down endlessly and a smile that was half forced and half natural. She smiled because she wanted her friend to see it but smiled because she knew it would make her friend happy.

Just before she could utter the word now a voice popped out from the moving lips of the pink unconscious pony "Thanks for smiling for me Dashie... it was all the pain... all the suffering.... just to see you smile for me Dashie.." All eyes went wide... suddenly the world erupted in a shine of happiness.

____________________________________________________________

The news spread like wildfire... The Miracle of Pie was an event that was on the same level as the Sonic Rainboom at Sunset. Even the most sour of grumps had smiled when he heard the news. The pink pony had lived beyond all scientific reasoning. She had opened her eyes and jumped from her bed with wires attached and hugged her friend as if for dear life. The hug was returned and the day ended with joy....

The joy was short lived as the would be miracle pony died... she died after her triumphant arrival back into the world. She died after the head lines a strong shadow of sadness over took Equestria as Pinkie Pie for the first and last time... died.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash woke up crying again.. this time the nightmare was worst. It started out as a blissful dream then ended suddenly... Pinkie Pie was alive and then she was dead. Her mind was suffering from extreme guilt and the doctor had to prescribe some medicine. It was still only two weeks since the pink pony was admitted. The same day was playing out like her dream it was becoming to real. "So you pull the plug when I say now... but not when I say now during my good bye speech I want you to pull it when I say now like 30 seconds after... just to make sure it isn't part of my speech."

The doctors nodded and waited for the stall of a speech to commence. Rainbow Dash felt Dejavu and was going to start her speech but something stopped her. Just as she was about to open her mouth she felt a hoof touch her and she heard the unmistakable voice of Pinkie Pie

"Dashie... I need you to smile for me... just smile for me Dashie!" She said before Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and opened them expecting it to be a dream " Dashie... I am real... I am really alive Dashie you saved me that is why I want you to smile... if you hadn't gotten to me in time I wouldn't be here. Pinkamena let me live after she had forced you to give up on me... but I knew you wouldn't just give up... I knew you would try to stall as long as you could... Thank you Dashie for saving my life." She was breathing regularly and was feeling quite good for someone who was virtually dead for hours and suddenly comatose for weeks. She wasn't sure what had exactly happened all she knew was she was alive.

Rainbow Dash finally smiled.. She smiled and meant it. "Pinks... glad your home." She said as she waited for the dream to end. The dream didn't end this time the miracle did happen. The reaction wasn't as dramatic as the dream version. Though it was still highly regarded and talked about. Pinkie Pie was not able to answer questions as all she wanted to do was just go home. What she didn't know was her new home was with Twilight until she was fit to live on her own again. She was going to be recovering still both physically and mentally. The scar on her neck was gross but at least she was alive. She didn't know who to thank exactly but knew Rainbow Dash had been instrumental to being resuscitated because she knew one thing was for certain... she had died... but now she is alive. Though Pinkamena is dead for good leaving just Pinkie Pie to exist.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash that night was finally able to go to sleep. Her dreams were no longer haunting her and she was able to finally go home and relax. She made love to her compassionate and supportive wife that night and even brought out the toy to reward her for being there with her all that time without complaining. She was the one who brought the food and made sure Scootaloo got to school, she did everything while also being supportive to the cyan mare. This only strengthened her love for her wife. She was going to remember the moments that her wife even when tired herself stayed at her side just to be there for her. it was more than any pony could ask for.

Even in tragedy the power of love and friendship shined through. Pinkie was alive but Pinkamena was gone. Still Pinkie was alive and would be able to recover. Twilight promised to take good care of Pinkie Pie till she was back to herself 100 percent and the Cakes were glad that the town pitched in and helped. They baked a cake for every Pony who helped keep Pinkie alive and well.

Applejack and Appleseed were laying in bed next to Rarity who was elated about the news as well. "Well Darlings I guess we can all sleep... momma has to get up bright and early and sew more clothing. Now Appleseed you silly foal .. you belong on the crib... is Applejack trying to spoil you?"

The baby was just cooing not understanding a word. "gah gah ahaahah" he spewed as a response.

Rarity used her magic to lift the foal and rub her cheek against him before placing him on the crib with Applejack slightly protesting. "Aw shucks Sugar Cube I was hoping we could sleep together like a family... but I guess he is still to little for that and well one day it will happen right my love?" she asked knowing for well what Rarity was going to say... except she didn't know full well that time as Rarity did something crazy that night.

"Pinkie Pie's almost tragic death has made me realize that time is short in this world... Applejack of the Apple family... I know we are working on our relationship..... but I want you to do me the honor of... being my wife." She said as she pulled out a box with a necklace that with a ring attached to it. "Will you marry me Applejack?" She was going for the gusto... no longer letting anything stop her passion and desires anymore. she wanted the farm mare and she was going to have the farm mare.

"Yes.. a thousand times yes... oh Sugar Cube you make me happier than a warm apple pie on a sunday picnic." She said while crying and holding her now fiancee. It was funny just two weeks ago her baby was born now she was going to be wife as well as a mother.. if that don't beat all I don't know what does. Maybe life was going to look up for the ponies this time.....

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire was even more happy about Pinkie Pie's recovery. Her goals may not have been noble but her assistance was. She had used this tragic event to gain favor with Rainbow Dash and snagged her for two shows. They would be popular shows and the pay would be great. Since the show was going to be a reunion special with Soarin, Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash. It wasn't underhanded but it wasn't an honest way to get her to perform. She wasn't going to feel bad after all even if being a bit sneaky is wrong. it helps when you are a Wonderbolt. Spitfire loved the fact Rainbow Dash's fame shot up recently that would make the tickets more costly and get more seats sold. The Wonderbotls would be popular again if she goes through with the shows. " I am sorry Rainbow Dash but I need you more than you know... I need the Wonderbolts to rise to the top again with your fame in full swing and your popularity rising we can sell more tickets... so even though you won't hear this apology because I am just whispering to myself in my room, I just want you to know for whats about to come... I ...am... Sorry." She said before closing her door and preparing to head out and get Soarin back his post in Las Pegasus.

Author's Note

So yeah I decided to kill off Pinkamena but keep Pinkie.. I had two versions of this in my mind... I was going to kill off Pinkie but I decided against it because then I would be just dropping bodies and this fan fic isn't about me killing off ponies after pony.. Though this isn't one of them cheesy everyone makes it alright fanfics either so I am doing a happy medium.... though I figured that the end of the first fic had this uneasy part with Spitfire trying to offer the ponies stuff to keep Rainbow Dash as a Wonderbolt well that will all play into the next chapter... Spitfire's Motives

I might name it something else... Either way hope you enjoyed the chapter and as to what the hell is going on through the entire fic.. Well Rainbow Dash has been in dream worlds and has been trying to take up from the night mares. She was having nightmares each time she feel asleep for two weeks because of the guilt of the attempted suicide.

Motives

Sometimes in life motives become a part of any decision making. Not all motives are bad but the fact is all motives come from some desire. Desire becomes the drug the mind feeds off of when the die is cast. Life revolves around choices and those choices are usually backed by motives. Murder, sex, Marriage, and even having foals... regardless of the event there is always a motive behind it.

Spitfire, the captain of the Wonderbolts, had been doing some dirty dealings and downright disgusting acts all to keep a certain rainbow maned pegasus in her group. She had to because of the cyan mare's bond with her friends were strong. Too strong for some dream to ruin it on it's own. All her actions had one motive behind it. Keeping the Wonderbolts on top. The popularity had been dying before they invited their number one fan to join. The Sonic Rainboom was very impressive and a spectacle enjoyed by all. The crowd it would bring in and the euphoric feeling they would be washed in from the experience was enough to sell tickets like hotcakes.

She remembered all the past events that had lead to now. Each horrible deed, the deeds that have made the life of a certain cyan mare a living hell but these decisions were necessary to keep her a Wonderbolt.

____________________________________________________________

Day of the physical

Spitfire was delivered the physical report of a one Rainbow D Dash. She was chuckling at the name She really believes she is the embodiment of danger or is she always getting into danger? Silly mare She looked at the condition of her body and found her at peak physical form, not any flaw or mar that would keep her from performing and no diseases that could hold her back... she is literally perfection... whats this? She noticed the mental portion of the physical wasn't as good.

" Pride and ego far exceed normal levels, views the world through an awesome filter, believes everyone around her is into her sexually. Shows a strong desire to be loyal to her friends and may become susceptible to rage induced mayhem or have mental breakdowns if in extreme duress." She read out loud in her office wondering what she would do. She couldn't in all good conscious allow the rainbow maned athletic mare perform or continue her contractual obligations with these revelations. Still a dirty conscious brings in more bits and with the fading popularity of the Wonderbolts a risk is worth the potential reward.

She had to take this risk because of the wedding event. They were invited as just guests not even performers and it wasn't in official capacity. They couldn't get the best gigs anymore and even she was subjected to watching over a Tornado Day prior to the wedding. She saw the tenacity of the cyan mare at that moment. Rainbow Dash had given a generous amount of credit to her ... friend .... and yet this was the same mare chomping at the bit to impress the Wonderbolts. Rainbow Dash had stopped being such a fan-mare about meeting the team and even danced with soarin casually without gushing. She must have had her mind preoccupied with something or the reality was the Wonderbolts just weren't big shots anymore. The wedding was humiliating of course. Rainbow Dash was chosen above the Wonderbolts to be the performance for the night. She was to use her Sonic Rainboom and impress the entirety of Canterlot with it. Spitfire remembered watching the Rainboom and feeling a bit of jealousy as that should have been her team making the castle "ooh" and "aah".

She had thought about the Wonderbolts Academy event in which Rainbow Dash was breaking all kinds of academy records effortlessly. Though her anger had decided to allow her to choose another lead pony especially since the pony chosen was willing to push herself further. even if that decision costed a pony her life in the future.

She used the override stamp on the physical report and filed it. No pony would have to know her shame.. unless she could use it to her advantage. The Wonderbolts would rise again with their new star. Life was going to be good again.

____________________________________________________________

The moment Applejack stormed off from Sugar Cube Corner

Spitfire had seen the look of determination on her protege's eyes the moment Applejack had ran off with her attitude problem. Apparently Applejack had a thing for Dash or something... the captain of the Wonderbolts didn't really care and just wanted to make sure her new recruit wasn't going to run off and comfort her friend.

She had to rush to the door and stop her before she was able to follow. She had to make up something and came up with the extreme training and practices. That worked and it calmed the rainbow maned pegasus. It was the first time she had been able to manipulate the cyan mare without it seeming so... evil. After all she could always comfort her disturbed friend after practice right? Either way it was a decision that would lead to her eventual drift from her friends.

____________________________________________________________

The moment the party died and the crowd left that night after the Sonic Rainboom at Sunset

Spitfire was unsure where Rainbow Dash had flown off to but she didn't follow the group. She noticed the mare was with another mare... That canary one, that was the one she gave all the praise to during Tornado Day...They seemed to be awfully chummy. I wonder if her 'marefriend' knows about this? Oh well it seems maybe Rainbow Dash likes to play mares and just goes for the gusto. Either way it isn't my business I shall let her enjoy her mistress of the evening and wait for her at base. No need to crotch block a happy Wonderbolt. After the show it's customary to need release so why not. I shall see her later and since that isn't her marefriend she obviously isn't attached to any mare. I am safe with her not following me back to base. Maybe I should watch? Nah I am not that pervy... though it would be kind of hot anyways time to rush off before someone spots me flying around here.

Spitfire flew off that night and allowed Rainbow Dash to make her big mistake of sleeping with Fluttershy. She could have stopped her and yet she rather allow her new recruit make the mistakes of 'sleeping around' unbeknownst to her there was no marefriend just Rarity's plan to keep Rainbow Dash in Ponyville required some lies and other things to go right.

____________________________________________________________

The night of the 'Incident at the Night Club'

Spitfire had planned to lure Rainbow Dash to a night club with the promise of a good time. She had a stallion set up to take a fall. He was going to antagonize any mare the rainbow one walked in with to get her riled up. She was to cause a scene and get some publicity. Spitfire had been practicing her rejection of the stallion a bit before attempting to seduce Rainbow Dash to joining her to go to the night club. She knew the mare had other plans but no one can resist a little fun... and even so if the plan failed she would have back up measures in place.

Rainbow Dash had taken the bait but with a catch. She wanted to bring some friends along. When she insisted on it vehemently Spitfire accepted it but wasn't too happy. Now the stallion would have to make sure he pays attention to who entered with the mare she was setting up.

So after they gathered up the would be night club patrons it was awkwardness from there on out. Her first initial plan had failed thanks to the interference of a certain pink party pony. She had jumped beyond a crowd a dancing ponies just to drop kick the stallion and knock him out. In hind sight after the whole Gala thing it was expected this pony would be doing something wild after seeing the state of the castle post 'pony pokey'. Though that happened something unexpected did that she was able to use to her advantage.

The supposed 'marefriend' of the cyan mare, Rarity, was dancing with Spitfire and it allowed the captain of the Wonderbolts to seduce the Unicorn and try to get some inside information about her newest recruit. After all one minute in bed with Spitfire would be enough to get any mare squealing their most private of thoughts. Though fate smiled on Spitfire that day. It seemed the world was willing to give her what she needed. Not only was she able to seduce the Unicorn she was able to see first hand the start of a star being born.

____________________________________________________________

Morning after the night of the Incident at the Night Club

Spitfire heard the yelling of the unicorn. She was disgusted with the Cyan mare's actions she unfolded upon the canary mare. Spitfire was trying not to laugh as she hid her smile. She was happy the friends were suddenly angry with Rainbow Dash... all she needed now was for the connection to be severed. She knew just what to do with the fury her money maker would surely display after the pain of loneliness hits.

She had a mission set up to take a down a dragon. Normally dragons aren't creatures to be trifled. But Spitfire Soarin and Rainbow Dash would definitely be able to especially with how easy Rainbow Dash can Sonic Rainboom and how well they work together. It was a dangerous gambit but one worth it to secure her recruit's interests.

____________________________________________________________

During the six months of drug abuse

Time passed and Spitfire noticed that all her plans had come to fruition. She had kept all mail being filtered to her to make sure none of her star team mate's friends would try to get her back home. Unfortunately Rainbow's absence has been causing problems with her home town and her friends. Still I need her and buck those ponies. I am making big bucks just by riding the coat tails of my star money maker. Even if she is surpassing us in fame the Wonderbolts are now more in demand than any other group of show ponies in the world. She had been screening the incoming and outgoing mail since Rainbow arrived. only allowing fanmail that was 'tested' for threats. Spitfire had convinced Rainbow Dash that the reason they must open the mail before she can read it was to protect her from any malicious content such as toxins or bombs. The ruse worked and Rainbow Dash had never questioned it.

She was now drugged up and barely able to think for herself. The drugs were gifted to the athletic mare by a DJ pony. While it wasn't in her plan initially for her to develop a drug habit Spitfire still was able to use this to her advantage. Soon she would break and collapse and Spitfire would be there for her. Her motive was selfish but over time she was actually caring for Rainbow Dash which got in the way of her desires. She couldn't be the friend the rainbow maned mare desperately needed right now because she had to keep pulling the strings.

The Wonderbolts were making money at an all time high. Most of the members had benefited from it. Some have lost their fans to the new recruit's growing fame. Each time the drugged up star made some kind of major mistake it was seen as some sort of statement. So far her puking out a coffee made an entire chain of shops be boycotted by idiotic fans. The price of her fame was ridiculous. She was wrecking homes and endlessly sleeping around. Though since most of the victims of her odd habits were fans it wasn't even hard to silence them. Spitfire made sure of it. Autographed merchandise and some cheap seats and the problems would fade. The expenses were minimal compared to the profits.

It was priceless to think the absolutely self destructive mare was still a money train and even better how here bad habits were making her just that much more awesome to her fans. She knew the drug habits were injuring her mind and lowering her top form but... it was alright as long as she could perform. She was still able to successfully fend off threats while drug induced. It was a win win. She wasn't able to face her friends for being a buck up and she was working to keep her habits available. Her drug habit wasn't even draining her funds but she wasn't really paying attention to that she was just buying into her own delusion.

Spitfire noticed that her protege was still standing no matter what and needed her to break emotionally. The tortoise Tank had been instrumental to her being ok secretly even when being a mess in public. That tortoise was the only thing keeping her going... it had to die... she had decided it was time for Tank to meet his maker. Now in any other circumstance it would have been impossible for Spitfire to do something so cruel and awful, however, she wanted... no needed Rainbow Dash back in top form and needed her to be closer... It was for the good of the Wonderbolts.

She had poisoned the tortoise with an edible pill that disintegrated in the stomach. It was slow acting and usually able to be detected with signs but since it was a tortoise and it can't speak it would be pointless to even be able to worry. The deed was done and tank was going to die.

The day of Rainbow's break down was one of perfection. She had broken down and became pathetic. The screams of her pet's name were echoing around the base. Soarin was gone and it seemed the rest of the bolts were too far to hear. Spitfire was wondering why fate was smiling on her and allowing her this opportunity. Now she could go in and put on a show. Performing for a crowd of one and pretending to care. It was sickening but it was needing to be done.

She had embraced Rainbow Dash and told her it would be fine.. she was going to fix her and she was at least being honest about that. She still felt awful about the tortoise. I am sorry you had to die Tank... but I need her more than you do. You were just slowing her down and I need her to be fast.

The day the letter from Celestia arrived

Spitfire was excited for this performance it was another lucrative venue and easily top selling crowd. The excitement of winning and being on top fueled her pride. I did it I made it so. I brought Rainbow Dash back from the brink and now she is focused on living the dream and she is now even more loved by her fans for being clean and sober. This couldn't be more perfect... Where is Rainbow Dash?

She looked around and saw Soarin waiting to perform in top shape..... not bad looking but I wouldn't let him rut me after that one awkward night. She walked to the locker room and noticed a scroll like letter and read the contents. She was furious "How dare that princess.... ruin my hard work... I can't let her do this... I have done so much harm to get this far... I can't let it all be for nothing." Her voice shaking with anger as her determination and underhanded tactics have been challenged by the will of a goddess.

She rushed to Soarin's side and told them they had to cancel and would reschedule due to an unforeseen circumstance. "Just give them their money back or tell them they can use the tickets again... just make something up Soarin I have to go NOW!" She was unable to properly explain the sudden urgency but Soarin did tell the announcer something that caused an entire stadium to groan.

____________________________________________________________

The meeting with the princess

Spitfire was not going to let her recruit just vanish off without trying to make sure she was able to be lassoed back in. "As I was saying Celestia. I know the events that happened because I read the letter after Rainbow Dash bolted out the Cloudiseum. I read it to see why she was so distressed. I understand things have been happening and I wish it wasn't so but ... you understand that her contract with us is bond. She can't break it unless I fire her or discharge her. She is part show pony and part military so her exiting from our squad without my permission is considered treason. Before you object and put your royal foot down as I know can override me but first let me make my case because I know I will not have long." She stated knowing full well just how fast Rainbow Dash can go if she really needed to.

Spitfire let a second set in before speaking "Rainbow Dash is very valuable to both of us. If she quits being a Wonderbolt that would make her have fame with no outlet to use it in. What I mean is that she won't have the Wonderbolts as a reason for her fame and soon she would just have many followers without a cause. We all know what can happen when suddenly some pony becomes famous and people follow their say. Rainbow Dash needs the Wonderbolts to live her dream and regardless of her friendship she will feel the void of not living her dream I have seen her before when she thought she was going to be let go." She was lying at this point but her false sincerity was convincing "She was shaking and while trying to play it off she was almost empty inside. I had convinced her we just needed to talk to her about her habits and she calmed down. She might be trying to quit for her friend's sake but she would be devastated if she did. I have an idea that would benefit us both. What if she can still be in the Wonderbolts with a modified schedule if we can get all her friends to agree to it? That way it can be like they all are in it. We need her and as a part of a military force if Equestria was to be invaded or were in the middle of a war... she could prove to be valuable as a weapon. I know you are a benevolent ruler but you are also a wise and caring ruler." She said wanting to let it sink in.

Celestia sighed "I will allow you to make your case... I can't guarantee all her friends will follow along but... I do understand your point Rainbow Dash can be quite a useful force for Equestria as a member of the military unit that you captain. I also know that she can be extremely unstable... do you have a contingency plan in case she has lost her mind and became a threat to Equestria? As far as I can see the only member of your squad who can even attempt to take her down is you. Are you prepared to end the life of your team mate if she was to turn on Equestria?" She asked testing the waters of this 'captain'

"I honestly don't know Celestia.. I care about her.. and she is also our best performer and fighter. I would try to talk her down first and if all else fails then I would attempt an execution style attack." She said while internally grinning. She was lying through her teeth there was no way she was going to have to kill Rainbow Dash if her plan works.

____________________________________________________________

Post Crystal Empire Destruction

Spitfire was in a secret council. She was joined by Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Cadence, and Shining Armor. The person holding the meeting was the general of the Equestrian army and the Captain of the Royal Guard. His name was Bash Wing. He was an older pegasus stallion but had been able to keep his physique in top form even for his age. He was a no nonsense kind of stallion.

"It seems we have a problem on our hands... Rainbow Dash has proven to be quite a force of destruction." He was speaking in a rough tone. "You understand that we can't keep ignoring this... she could become instrumental to the down fall of all Equestria. She has extreme abilities that naturally pegasi can't achieve." He had slides of her flying super fast, breaking things, and even a picture of her Sonic Rainbooming close to a town. "These images show just what we are dealing with. This isn't something we can ignore. I understand you all have reasons to allow her to remain free from military custody. I would like to hear your reasons since I don't see any good ones with what capability this mare has."

Cadence spoke... she had something to say "I have to be honest... I don't have any good reason to keep her unchecked... she could have killed me, my husband, and my sister in law just because we refused to let her enact her revenge on a royal guard... she destroyed my empire and did so without any care of who or what was destroyed in the process.... if I have to be the only one to say it so be it. I am glad for her help before but her good deeds from the past don't justify her reckless actions in the present." She said while not looking anyone else in the eye.

The Bash Wing was smiling, someone was agreeing with him and his reasoning. He wanted to see if the others would speak up against or for the pegasus he wants to force into his control.

Shining Armor put a caring and gentle hoof on his wife but his thoughts weren't mirroring hers. "I have to say that if she wanted to break my horn she would have done it. She was able to calculate just how much energy to put out in her Rainboom before doing it. Unlike you my love who came to the scene late I saw Rainbow Dash scout around the barrier checking for any citizens and when she found that no one was here she had resolved the empire had become a stage for a battle. Even if she destroyed the empire she did it with the knowledge no pony would be hurt. She proved that time again that she wasn't a danger even when she first came to get Twiley during that time long ago when Celestia and Twiley were having their tiff." He said while frowning for disagreeing with his wife. But he remembered that Rainbow Dash had calmed down when talking to him and if she was truly some threat that day would have been different.

Twilight spoke up at this. "I hate to disagree with you Cadence.. but my brother is right... Rainbow Dash when acting fast reacts without thinking. She was eyeing the barrier and carefully projecting her force before she went with her plan. I know Rainbow Dash and when she is thinking she has that face... she made that face and made sure she didn't over do it. Part of why the barrier fell easier than it should have and why the magic force struck us hard was because I almost dropped my magical hold when I was in shock she was actually planning her attack out instead of just going for it." She said while half ashamed and half proud of her friend.

The general was getting upset. He needed some support he noticed none of the major three spoke yet. "And you ladies... what say you about this Rainbow Dash?"

Princess Luna spoke up first "Rainbow Dash... while a prankster and a braggart... she isn't a threat... she has taken poor Scootaloo under her wing and gave her hope. Even before she became the Mother of sorts to her it was their bond as sisters that was forged under my night sky. She was so gentle with the little filly I have a hard time believing someone who was gentle to a filly she had no familial bonds with would ever allow herself to actually become a threat to the land she protects. That is my position on this subject." Luna spoke in her usual tone. Not the royal one with the shouting and boom, just her regular voice that Twilight helped her find.

Celestia was deep in thought "I.... I can't say why I feel this but I am worried for Rainbow Dash. I am not agreeing with you Bash Wing but I am not sure if she has the mental fortitude to keep surviving these strange and awful events. I hope I am wrong about this but... if she keeps suffering she may suffer a mental break down that could leave her willing to do something very... dangerous. I can't pretend to not see the danger she presents, however, I won't condone the restriction of freedom of a potential threat unless she shows signs of being one. The event that had transpired at the Crystal Empire I don't feel it was done with malice. I am sure if the empire was full of ponies she wouldn't have gone as far as she did. I am just speculating this of course... I can only go by what I know. I know that Rainbow Dash is a powerful force of nature but I also know as long as she has things to care about she can be saved from ever slipping into dark territory."

The general was shocked he thought for sure Celestia would be against his side but it was more neutral. He looked at Spitfire and wanted her input. "So captain of the Wonderbolts military and show unit. What say you about your recruit?"

She slammed her hoof on the table in false bravado and exaggerated anger. "This is nothing but a barrel of horseapples... Why the buck are we even having this meeting? Rainbow Dash has proven to be a force for good and even when she has lost control never had any pony died by her direct actions... Listen if she was to become a threat you think I would keep her in my squad? I can see why some of you are concerned but trust me.... and when I say trust me I mean it. I can make sure Rainbow Dash doesn't get out of line after all I am her captain and I can speak to her about all this. Just don't do anything to contain her especially since she is about to get married. She is gushing about how her bride to be is some pony really special and if she gets married she will eventually be a calm and tamed mare... so how about we all just forget this meeting and leave Rainbow Dash alone. Plus if war was to come I am sure she would be on our side... because she is loyal."

____________________________________________________________

The thoughts and memories now cleared from Spitfire's mind as she currently has been heading to Soarin's post in Las Pegasus to bring him the good news. They hadn't been touring without a third since Rainbow Dash made the group complete it was awkward with any other team mate. Mistyfly tried subbing but the fans wouldn't have as much enjoyment from some 'replacement' they wanted the Dash. Now they would have the Dash.. and they would have more of her if Spitfire could convince her to keep performing. With her love life secured and a happy to be used spouse it wouldn't be hard to convince Dash she could tour again. Especially since the towns folk has more self reliance and the weather teams have been properly informed and trained.

She arrived at Soarin's post and he was with some mare that was very close and intimately showing affection to the would be team mate. "Soarin.... what is going on?" She asked confused at his display. Soarin wasn't an ugly stallion so seeing him with a mare is common but Soarin wasn't into relationships.

Soarin chuckled "Hey Spits... I am just enjoying time with my marefriend... I haven't had many shows in months so I been free to mingle and found some pony very special to be with." He said while nuzzling his marefriend. He was finally able to find a mare to be with him that would allow him to enjoy his life instead of just constantly performing and having to only sleep with groupies or fan-mares.

Spitfire was very upset at this revelation. I leave him to guard duty for a while and he suddenly has a marefriend? Bucking a ... I mean what the buck is so good about relationships? Sure Mistyfly was a great lay but I didn't want to tie down the knot to some team mate. With Soarin now in a relationship how can I get the team together? Think Spitfire... oh yeah he still is in contract too. Though his ends this year so I need to milk this for all I can. "Alright well I got Rainbow Dash down for two shows I was wondering if you wanted to go on tour with us... it's two shows in two weeks with some signings and meet ups. We can get the show on the road again and we can all be chill again. I am sure your marefriend won't mind right?" She asked looking at the timid mare which reminded her of Fluttershy. What's with submissive mares some how wrapping my friends' in their hooves? Maybe I should get myself one if they are all the rage... or a submissive stallion... either way this love thing is going to ruin my plans.

Soarin looked at her who smiled and whispered something into his ear. He was smiling "I got an idea... Since Rainbow Dash has Fluttershy and I have Swift Wind here and assuming you still have Mistyfly around we can all go together on tour. It can be like an event with our special some ponies." He said with a huge grin.

Spitfire for the first time in a long time had felt the universe again grant her joy. "Sure that is a great idea... I can't wait just be ready by next week as that is when we head out to start the tour. I am going to go get my mare and give her the info and make sure to update Rainbow Dash as well.... see Soarin you have a great mind and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." She said while thinking Sucker... I am just too good. Bring your mare and let Rainbow Dash bring Fluttershy, a happy experience touring will make it easier to convince them to continue doing so. Soon they won't even need their mares to keep wanting to tour because like a dog drooling at a bell they will just expect the food to come.

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire was at the base and looking for Mistyfly. She heard the showers spraying down and smelled the scent of the person showering and grinned. It was her prey for the taking. She rushed in and found Mistyfly showering alone and felt as if she hit the jackpot.

Mistyfly was angry someone had the nerve to interrupt her shower and even more so that it was the one who just used her for a good lay. "Hey... what do you want o' fearless one" She said with as much disgust as she could muster. What she didn't expect was a forceful push to the wall and being pressed up on.

"Shut your mouth Misty... I am your leader and you will respect me got it..." She asked with anger surging through her body... in this position she could just hoof her prey and make her submit. She was tempted but diplomacy first force after...

Mistyfly was scared she never had seen Spitfire react this way unless she was drunk. She didn't smell acohol on her breath so maybe the captain had snapped. "Spitsy.... don't hurt me.." she said in her softest tone... she didn't know what to expect but felt a hoof in her nethers that made her attempt to scream. It was muffled by a mouth covering hers.

Spitfire was aroused by her fear and her soft tone had made her dominant side come out. She was pushing her hoof into her prey and was kissing her with force watching her prey's defenses break. "You listen to me... I don't care who you are dating right now... you are mine again got it? I need you and I want you... If you don't want to be with me then fight back... I know you can fight me off when you aren't in the mood. If you submit just know you are coming with me and you will behave and act as I need you to. If you wish to be my ... 'lover' then allow me to take you right here where we can get caught" She said while she continued hoofing her victim.

____________________________________________________________

As you can tell sex incoming.

Spitfire's hoof was moving in and out of the other mare's nethers. It was being accompanied by forceful licks and bites along the other mare's neck. It wasn't passionate but dominant. Nothing loving about her movements just wanted to make her prey submit.

Mistyfly was crying she was being assaulted physically but sexually she was enjoying it. It wasn't rape because she was given a choice but she didn't want to fight her ex off because she wanted it again. She missed her lover's touch. She gave in but at a price... her freedom. She was being devoured sexually and her moans were betraying her mind. Spitfire treat me gentle my love... I want this but not like this... She decided to slide her hood along the sides of the dominant mare feeling her body and allowing her mind to lose itself in the pleasure she was receiving.

Spitfire's eyes lit up as she felt the other mare submit. she could have stopped right here but was too far gone and started to push her prey to the floor and lower her marehood to her face "You know what to do Misty baby... get to it." she said as she was rewarded with a submissive tongue testing the waters.

Mistyfly wasted no time in tasting her lover and pushing her tongue into her lover's folds. It was euphoric for her she was stripped of freedom and made to do things in a way that was embarassing to her. She didn't like where this was heading but at the moment she just wanted to pleasure Spitfire. Her tongue danced along the walls of the delicate marehood before her as she continued her ministrations against her lover's love tunnel.

Spitfire felt herself about to explode from the excitement of dominating and capturing the mare and from the expert use of the team mate's tongue on her marehood. She was brought to the edge and pushed her marehood to her lover's face before she erupted and allowed her precious Mistyfly to accept her reward.

Mistyfly greedily drunk the juices and smile. It wasn't a happy smile but it was something that would be able to convince Spitfire of her victory. She was devastated inside. She was just taken by someone who wasn't going to love her and worse she enjoyed it like some slut pony. She was crying on the inside.

____________________________________________________________

Sex over every pony

Spitfire had her motives for her actions. Regardless of the actions she convinced herself it was for her cause... her cause which she declared were for the good of everyone... when in reality... this whole time her motives were purely... selfish. a selfish heart doing whatever it takes to get what her heart desires. Greed and jealousy consumed the once noble captain... can she be saved or is she too far gone. Who will be able to save the pony from her own insanity?

Spitfire chuckled darkly as she left the shower room and went to bed knowing full well she wouldn't be alone. Seducing mares and taking what I want... that is what it means to be a Wonderbolt.

Author's Note

So yeah. I had originally made Spitfire a villain but my 18 chapter first fic didn't get to revealing it. So I had the most awkward ending with her trying to convince the crew to allow Rainbow Dash to stay a Wonderbolt. This whole time she has been the problem just since the other fic ended I had to reveal all this in this one. So yeah if you want some canon reference to how I got to this point I will give you these episodes to digest.

The Sonic Rainboom (She was humiliated by Rarity and saved by Rainbow Dash ) which would cause some sort of anger to grow

The gala ( she invited Rainbow Dash to join the vip section but ignored her completely) Even if the show wrote it as she was busy I am sure if she really cared she could have made time.

Hurricane Fluttershy ( She didn't even lift a hoof to help the struggling pegasi lift the water and looked as if she was bored. Until she saw Rainbow Dash never give up attitude that impressed her regardless of how she felt ) So that would give her a means to want to consider inviting her

The Wonderbolts Academy (She saw Rainbow Dash effortlessly smash records and even stopped her from quitting ) That showed she would do anything to keep dash because she even made her lead pony after the whole thing. She didn't even stop to talk to her friends to check if they were alright as she was just looking a the money roll in with that far off gaze.

Unfortunately the rest is just creative license. I know some Spitfire fans may be angry but... I won't apologize just like how I ruined Flash Sentry... anyways this whole drama is going to be playing out soon and epic moments will be making it's way.

So I hope you enjoyed the chapter and also... I don't condone rape. I never think it's cool or sexy when rape occurs. This chapter could be seen as having a rape moment but it wasn't I don't do rape especially not in a way where I would play the scene out. If anything I would have it implied and not be enjoyable for anyone reading it or in the scene being forced upon.

That is my PSA for the day going to be writing the next Chapter soon

On Top of the World

That feeling of unbridled joy and unbound happiness. The feeling a pony gets when they are on top of the metaphorical and figurative world. No passion comes close to that feeling of elation and ecstasy. Everything else pales in comparison to the euphoric feeling of unadulterated win and accomplishing everything the heard desires. While some ponies actually feel this sentiment and others think they achieved it. It's hard to tell when one is truly happy. Because after all the mind can sometimes play tricks on the body.

In light of recent events some ponies have felt like they are untouchable. they have exceeded their natural calling and became ascendant in life's journey. They challenged destiny and won. They are on top of the world.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was travelling with her life partner and reason for living, Fluttershy, along with her team mates and their mares. The cyan mare was excited about this new kind of tour. It was suggested by soarin and his mare when Spitfire went up to them at Las Pegasus. Though Mistyfly seemed a bit out of place as she was clingy to Spitfire who unusually was caressing the Wonderbolt with sheer adulation.

Rainbow Dash decided to ignore it and just enjoy the trip as they were on a train heading out to Canterlot to perform a show. They would have all flew there Fluttershy had been pregnant for months now. She regarded Soarin's mare and how unusal it was for them to be together. His mare was a pegasus and she was not bad looking to the Dash. She would rate her a Cheerilee out of Fluttershy. Which is like a 6/10 on a normal scale. Cheerilee wasn't hot but she wasn't ugly and this mare was a mix between ok and good. No pony compared to the rainbow maned pony's wife. She was a 100/10 any given day out of the week, though it was probably her bias speaking for her.

Still a nice relaxing trip on the train regardless of how wasteful of bits and stuff was a good excuse for the couples to get down and dirty. Which they all did because hey why not? So when Rainbow Dash gave her mare that look Fluttershy blushed and grabbed something out of the cyan mare's pack that would be useful in their rutting session.

____________________________________________________________

Soarin's mare ironically named Swift Wind was not as fast as the Wonderbolts and thus that also helped in the decision of having them ride a train. So they were in a private cart themselves and were also busy rutting. It was like no matter how many times celebrities have ridden trains it would seem they are eager to rut. It's not like trains have some kind of incense of aphrodisiac constantly used as a fragrance the private carts did they?

So while Soarin and his mare of two months were living it up, a cart over was Spitfire and Mistyfly.

____________________________________________________________

Now Mistyfly was suddenly back in love with Spitfire but Spitfire was just using her. She had always used her and tricked the other mare into believing they both loved each other. Mistyfly's unrequited love was unknown to her. She wasn't aware of the one sided affection.

Spitfire had dominated the other mare and made her into a quivering mess of a submissive. It took all of Spitfire's restraint not to choke or beat this mare to death with her sudden need to be clingy. Spitfire found she loved being a dom and was researching all about it while she had a week to prepare for the tour. It was worth the time. After an exhausting morning work out she would use all kinds of toys and tools on her new sub. It was just what she needed in her life. Total control of another pony.

Mistyfly was not going to let Spitfire go regardless of the torture she has been through. It wasn't a story book love but it worked for her. Spitfire was extra gentle regardless of her mistreatment. She would begin with some torture but after the torture stops and the pleasure begins it was just bliss. Mistyfly knew Spitfire had some dark thoughts but knew that regardless of her lack of empathy that after their coital bliss they would snuggle and Spitfire would cry. It wasn't a cry of sadness but one of regret.

Spitfire was grabbing some tools and stuff to use on Mistyfly while they played on the train. They had time and they were going to use it well.

____________________________________________________________

Applejack and Rarity or Rarijack as people dubbed them, were busy preparing for a wedding. Unlike Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash the couple didn't have feathers to signify their engagement to each other so they had necklaces with rings on it. It was engagement rings and not wedding ones. They had to make sure they had the right message being spread.

As usual Rarity even though not blood related or related at all to her son Appleseed was more the mother type and took care of him while Applejack was more the father type and worked the fields. They shared the responsibilities and even planned on getting Rarity pregnant. Though not with magic or chemicals. They had planned on using Big Mac so they could have an Apple foal through and through, the natural way. Rarity didn't like the idea but Applejack had her traditions. They argued about it constantly though it was minor quarrels before the heat of the moment took over.

Appleseed enjoyed his mothers, the attention he got from them was thrilling for a foal. He didn't understand what a horn was going on one of his mothers and would constantly put a hoof to his head to check. This made Rarity squeal in delight misunderstanding his action and Applejack to sigh in frustration.

They didn't have the endless wealth that Rainbow Dash seemingly had so they had to budget it. Though Rarity insisted the wedding be fabulous and she would put her bits on the line. Applejack insisted it be a simple wedding because it was the Apple way and it was less expensive. They had argued about this too. Again same result no point being made because of the constant rutting.

____________________________________________________________

Scootaloo was hanging out with her friends the Cutie Mark Crusaders, they had extended to the Filly Five instead. Since it was Sweetie Belle and her 'secret' filly-friend Silver Spoon, Applebloom, and of course the purple haired orange filly's own filly-friend Diamond Tiara. The group still hasn't figured out how that happened or how that works.

Scootaloo while being a show off and tough filly was secretly a softy. She would get flowers for Diamond Tiara who would accept them and smile. Since going steady their families knew about their relationship. Filthy Rich wasn't as pleased as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Momma-Dash of course decided to high five her daughter which with only four legs the name seemed out of place.

Even with going steady Scootaloo could still tell that Diamond Tiara was more invested in the relationship. She didn't know how to deal with it. Especially since Scootaloo was starting to look at Applebloom in other ways.

Applebloom herself was into colt's and so she was currently looking for a colt-friend since her friends all had filly-friends. Even if Sweetie insisted it wasn't like that.

Sweetie Bell had earned her Cutie Mark recently while singing. No one but Silver Spoon know what the song was about since it was sung in private. Thus all the accusations of them being together. Even if so they were trying to keep it a secret because of Silver Spoon's father not being as lenient as Filthy Rich when it came to their daughter's sexuality.

Silver Spoon herself was enthralled with the song bird filly. It wasn't like herself to be fond of her little filly-friend. Since she didn't know she was able to be that way. Still she wondered just how long they could be together before reality hits and they are forced apart by family or stigmas.

Now these young fillies are still foals at heart and don't really know if they are really interested in eachother like that. They don't know what true love is nor can experience it. Scootaloo is the only one who knows what love from someone who wasn't family is like. She had loved Rainbow Dash not in the romantic sense... after the idolization died down at least. It was more a love of respect. She admired Rainbow Dash and when they became honorary sisters it was like a dream come true. Now they are legally mother and daughter and Scootaloo has her cutie marks and can fly... she feels on top of the world right now. But she also knows something that gravity had taught her... she forgot what the saying was as her lips were busy dancing with the lips of another filly. it was her filly... even though it started out awkward and inconvenient it was a cute relationship. Since Scootaloo is the toughest filly around no one gives her crap for her sexuality. Regardless of the colts or other fillies objections they can't do anything without feeling the wrath of a well trained filly.

Rainbow Dash taught her martial arts like she tried teaching Applebloom long ago. Scootaloo found out the hard way that the black belt wasn't just given it was earned. Rainbow Dash knew some fine karate techniques but hardly used them. She told Scootaloo that "the day you use your abilities in battle is the day the fight becomes unfair." Not many ponies in Ponyville have even a brown belt in Karate except Pinkie Pie, who mastered 36 forms of martial arts within... a week.

Rainbow Dash knows in a one on one fight Pinkie Pie is going to win against any pony. No matter who it was. Though she secretly thinks she can win. that battle wouldn't be tested though.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie and Twilight were snuggling.... wait what? Why am I snuggling Pinkie Pie... how did this end up like this? Twilight was blushing... she didn't understand how she ended up in a bed snuggling her recovering friend... but it felt nice... though she wasn't in love with her pink hyper friend they have bonded the over the last week they were together. It was a slow process first breaking Pinkie Pie out of her funk. She had that ugly scar that reminded her of what she had been through. Twilighlight decided it was time to cure her of it. She used some advanced healing magic that left her spent and cured the pink pony of having to see that awful scar.

Pinkie Pie didn't commit suicide it was Pinkamena... Pinkie made sure the girls knew that. She was just trapped in the prison that was in the deep recess of her mind. Pinkamena had locked her there and kept her prisoner as she was forced to watch everything happen.

When Pinkie Pie woke up from her sleep she was yawning and smiling. Her bright mood had reappeared in the third day after spending a lot of time with Twilight. She noticed Twilight was in brighter spirits even if Celestia hadn't come around to visit as much. She saw twilight sad and decided to snuggle up to her one day and since then they have just took to snuggling each other. Pinkie learned from her mistake of being attached to a friend so she didn't try anything and if anything did happen she wasn't going to be the one to start it. She was just going to be a friend to her friends and not secretly obsess over them. She was still learning how to not stalk a certain cyan mare after she found herself sneaking out of Twilight's library and watching Rainbow Dash sleep... it was creepy but she wasn't entering the house. It's something right? I am at least being a safe creepy not a super duper crazy creepy.

Twilight remembered everything and suddenly clarity came to her mind. She hadn't just been snuggling Pinkie Pie they have been doing this since day three of Pinkie Pie's stay. She needed Pinkie Pie to be more mentally stable before moving back to the bakery.. at least that is what twilight told other ponies. Actually the truth is since Celestia has been visiting less and less lately Twilight has been feeling lonely. Though she wasn't ready to call it quits it seems that Celestia had been rather busy dealing with some diplomatic issue that she didn't want the lavender alicorn to be a part of.

Twilight blushed at the closeness and nuzzled her pink friend. She wasn't going to use Pinkie but she wasn't going to let an opportunity to have some kind of intimacy pass. It wasn't as if they were rutting... but if they were to rut does that have to change anything? Wait I can't cheat on Celestia.... I already left her before... I can't do it again... but Pinkie knows how to give amazing back rubs... Celestia is immortal right? She can forgive me... wait no... bad mare... no cheating.... Damn you pinkie why does your touches have to feel so good.

____________________________________________________________

Celestia was busy indeed. She was taking care of some minor issue a ambassador of Draconia was bringing up to her and had been deliberating for an entire week. Luna had to take throne and Discord was her guard for this meeting. Since her magic wasn't as effective on adult dragons especially when they had their armor on it was crucial that Discord be around in case one dares strike. Discord being some what part Dragon knew why Celestia would need protection. The ruthless denizens of Draconia were worse than the some what tame dragons that call Equestria home. They had no qualms with killing innocent creatures regardless of just passing through or they got in the way. It was just their right as the top predator to kill anything they wanted and care when emotions have time to reach them.

The issue at hand wasn't being resolved as the ambassador has been sent to seek out the Prince of Dragons from Draconia who had been visiting. Celestia never met with a supposed prince and keeps telling the Ambassador that the only dragons that live in Equestria have some kind of pact with her that they are not to attack any towns or kill any ponies unless threatened or bothered. During the Dragon Migration many dragons flew over the skies of Ponyville and none dare lay a single claw on the citizens below. Though most dragons in Equestria feed of gems and not ponies.

Draconians are carnivorous and eat all kinds of animals. Which is why is a royal member of draconia was visiting it would have to be a supervised visit since consuming ponies wasn't legal in Equestria. The ambassador threatened possible war if the demands are not met. Though he didn't say outright there was going to be one.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash and her company of travelers had arrived at Canterlot all freshly groomed and ready to head to the venue. They had their fun on the train but had to be show ready for when they got off. So two hours into their passionate affairs they had stopped and prepared for the show. Pre-show pampering were good for optimized flight. Since each of them brought their respective mares along they each had their own personal masseuse and caretaker.

While they were dressed in their uniforms the media and crowd rushed in. Some asked questions about their mares which were ignored. Some questions were about their reunion and how long would they stay reunited which again was ignored because of the lack of answers. They never formally decided how long they would tour.

Fluttershy the manager/wife/accountant of Rainbow Dash had allowed for two shows and planned out a two week excursion for the tour. Made sure whoever was taking care of Scootaloo at the time was paid well for their services. Packed for two weeks and planned on arriving home after the second show had ended. That was her no nonsense kind of attitude when it came to touring. She had been strict about Rainbow Dash's touring schedules and made sure to not let mare get too much show time lest she make that same mistake again.

The rainbow maned pegasus felt angry at times with Fluttershy's tone when discussing business. She didn't like being told what to do whether it be in her home or anywhere else. She was a star and her own mare. She wasn't owned. She was bucking Rainbow Danger Dash. Mrs. Rainbow Danger Dash... She softened at that thought. She had been married for quite a while and enjoyed it. She was going to even have a foal of her own that was inside her wife.

Spitfire had always hated Fluttershy for her being the cause of Spitfire's contempt. She kind of wished Lightning Dust had killed Fluttershy off instead of the bunny. That way the rainbow maned athlete would be hers for the taking. She wanted to use Dash as much as she could to rocket towards the history books. Being the top captain of the Wonderbolts and leading to the most gross income of any elite group in all of history. That would be the day where she could tell the world to suck it. Still the it that the world could suck wasn't even up for discussion of the definition. So no pony knows what the it they can suck is.

Mistyfly was just a brainless mush when around Spitfire. She didn't mind being used because she didn't know she was just being used. She wanted to believe that Spitfire loves her like she always tells her post coital but even if she didn't maybe it was ok... since they were together? She wasn't sure about her new role as a sub it was kind of forced upon her and even if it felt good it would be awful if it just ended after the tour she had wanted to talk about it while pampering her 'owner' but wasn't ready to hear a rejection and possibly ruin a show.

Soaring was worried about his compatriot. He knew Spitfire longer than anyone and it was becoming rather concerning of her actions as of late. She seemed to be off in her own world and forgot that unlike Rainbow Dash they weren't as young. Soarin was thinking of quitting when his contract ended and settling down with his wealth still in tact. He met a good mare and she was really into him. It wasn't as if she wasn't tested because he made sure she wasn't into him for his fame and bits. It turns out she wasn't even a fan of the Wonderbolts or cared who Rainbow Dash was when asked. She was just a simple weather pony who had no ambitions for herself since she enjoyed the simple life. She just wanted a stallion to hold and a foal to give her love to.

____________________________________________________________

It was show time... they arrived and pre planned the event. They had coordinated each move with a trail mixture combo. Rainbow Dash was the middle even if it annoyed Spitfire. Soon she knew she would have to give up Captain rank if things continued as it was. More ponies were relying on Rainbow Dash for ticket sales and she knew she couldn't just hog her lest mutiny occurs.

During the show they started with their usual huddle. "Alright girls let's do this after all these might be our final shows right? " He said jokingly and Rainbow Dash nodded "Yeah I mean we can't keep wowing the entire world forever, unless we all become stupid alicorns." Spitfire however was unsure of Soarin's words but wanted to talk to him after the show about it. "Yeah let's go kick some flank and make these ponies want our foals." She said getting pumped up.

They broke off and started to perform. They all knew the routine it was one they were famous for. The Tornado Rainboom. Nothing could go wrong as they had prepared everything down to the last second of the stunt. The barrier was set and all the unicorns were ready. Nothing would buck this up.....

They started doing their tricks and feats earning "oohs" and "aaahs" and all was going well. So when all goes right and the crowd is cheering, because they know what's coming, nothing can possibly go wrong....

They start up winding around each other as Rainbow Dash goes high into the air.. to do a trick they have done like six times before. They were ready and since everything was going right and nothing could go wrong, they decided it was go time...

The crowd was in silence waiting for the burst to start the event. The sky went boom as a prismatic blast tore the clouds asunder above and the loud noise to anger a visiting diplomat....

The noise was unheard of as they could hear a dragon roaring back stopping the show... They were suddenly faced with an angry dragon that was heading at high speeds towards them and knew something finally went wrong.

____________________________________________________________

Moments before the arrival of the dragon.

Celestia tried to reason with the diplomat, she knew if they just talked things through no war would come. She didn't want to think of what her subjects may fall to if war was to break out.

Discord was very observant in Celestia's mood. He could sense fear and tried to assure the dragon that no one wanted war. "Listen buddy.. no one wants to strike at no one... ok it's not like a sudden boom is going to come at you when you least expect it." After those words were said as if on cue the Sonic Rainboom happened.

The ambassador never felt such power and seen that as a sign of an attack "You dare attack me... with what is that? I shall kill whatever made that attack and then I will return to kill all of you and all of Equestria will fall to my might." He roared and with great speed flew off to whatever dare attack him.

Discord's jaw dropped "I didn't see that coming... well... oops?" He asked looking at Celestia who went pale from the shock of the event.

____________________________________________________________

The Stadium went silent as they saw a giant dragon in armor approach. It was hurling itself towards Rainbow Dash who knew instinctively he wasn't coming over for a chat. " Guys Alpha Formation lets do this." She yelled out to her crew who abandoned the Tornado Rainboom stunt to get ready for an incoming battle.

The unicorns decided to alter their barrier and protect the crowd from any misfire or unguided attacks. Now they had to work twice as hard. Dragon fire was something lethal and if unmitigated it would burn a pony up. The Wonderbolts had always feared an attack during a show and made sure the stunt team of unicorns knew how to properly shield the crowd and themselves.

The Dragon didn't seem to look like a normal dragon. This dragon was bigger, tougher looking and armored. It wasn't something they would have prepared for as Draconia and Equestria were on peaceful terms and dragons from Draconia never leave their continent. Spitfire was quick to react "Alright since we are in Alpha formation Rainbow Dash attack the back and Soarin hit the sides. I will play bait. " She said while using her wings to burst into the sky. She was playing decoy and each time it worked. Soarin would gut check the beast from the side and Rainbow Dash would Sonic Rainboom on it's spinal cord thus rendering the dragon immobile or dead.

The crowd beneath didn't know whether it was part of the show or what so some of them were cheering the Wonderbolts on and others were cowering in fear. Thee ponies in the VIP box were looking on worried. They knew the act very well and this wasn't part of the show.

____________________________________________________________

Celestia was still not understanding what just happened. She knew something had to be done before a fatal mistake was made. "Discord... can you do anything to stop it. " She said to an empty room as Discord had already left while Celestia was in shock. He was a master of chaos not harmony. He knew that Celestia would get him to try and stop it but instead of doing so he wanted to see how the event played out. He wasn't evil just wasn't going to miss a chance to see a good show.

"Luna!" she called out for as she panicked... this wasn't good no matter how it ended it was going to cause a war.

____________________________________________________________

All of Canterlot now looking towards the sky as they were seeing what appeared to be a Dragon that looked bulky and meant for obliterating it's foes fighting off three ponies who were costumed and prepared for a show. It looked to be one sided in their eyes until a fatal boom was heard and they saw all four of them creatures drop.

They were unsure as to what was going on but the three ponies and the dragon recovered as if nothing happened. The attack failed and the dragon was pissed off. The crowds of ponies were frantically cheering the Wonderbolts on. News and other media had arrived and they were taking pictures and filming the event.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was a bit scared. "The hell is that thing... he took a Sonic Rainboom and is still moving... nothing takes a Sonic Rainboom... maybe I should have used more force... but the crowd.. we need to get him higher in the sky.. Soarin and Spitfire Lure him into the sky... I will get him with a huge Sonic Rainbomb... I will make him realize who owns the sky in Equestria." She said as she pumped herself up. Suddenly it wasn't fun and games it was life and death. She had only one shot with all her might ready to be used.

The others followed suit and while Soarin side checked it again Spitfire managed to buck it's jaw and really piss it off. She used all her wing power to generate velocity as she sky rocketed herself hoping Rainbow Dash knew what she was doing because if it failed... it would just mean more than 3 dead ponies. it would be bad if it started going after the fans. They have yet to evacuate either...

Soarin could just tell what Spitfire was worrying about not out of psychic links but from just knowing her. "Alright EVERY PONY CLEAR THE AREA... THIS ISN'T PART OF THE SHOW!" He yelled as panic set into the crowd and all the ponies tried scrambling away. He looked up and hoped Spitfire and Rainbow Dash would be alright.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash went straight out of the range of the sky in all Equestria. She was going to crash into this thing with everything she got and end it. She knew the risks but she had to do it. She was the Sky Goddess and her world was being invaded by an unwanted entity. "This is for all of Equestria. Here me as I say to you from the top of the world. I am Rainbow Dash and this... is my SKY!" She said. Adrenaline pumping through her system and her voice rising to match the ferocity of her next move.

She started diving with the mach cone around her "SONIC.." She started and as she neared the intended victim and Spitfire quickly sprinted down and to the side the dragon looking up at the incoming missle unable to react as it was nearly inches away from him. "RAIN.." it said and just as the collision came to be and the impact recoil would surge through her body she yelled with an explosive finish "BOOM" and the light spectrum shattered... the impact caused multiple contusions to spread through out her body as her wings suffered bone breakage and her body became empty of all energy... She knew it was over. She had given her all to that one attack and was hoping she didn't hear another growl of a dragon as she faded from consciousness.

The only thing the dragon could do is try to reason with it's own slipping subconscious as it's life faded from this world. I was killed.. by a pony... a colorful and fast moving pony... has destroyed me... avenge me my brothers.... I have died and hope it is not in vain... King Dragunda .... I have failed you... I can't find your son... and I can't return home... tell my wife.... I love her The final thought was dramatically accentuated by the emptying of the iris. No color was shown on the eye as it was pure white... devoid of any sign of life. The dragon ambassador had died trying to procure the location of the Dragon King's son.

____________________________________________________________

All over Equestria ponies had looked to the sky to hear what could make such a loud noise They saw the smoke trail and the rainbow hue and figured out something terrible just happened. Some ponies panicked. Some resolved that it's ok because it was just Rainbow Dash and she is invincible in their eyes.

Applejack... shed a tear as she saw that blast " Rarity... ya don' think...." she couldn't finish the thought as she was held by Rarity...

Rarity herself didn't know how to respond. Usually a cheer would follow a crazy stunt Rainbow did whenever she did such a huge and crazy stunt. That wasn't part of the show. They heard about the upcoming show and decided not to go since Appleseed was a foal and all and Rarity had lots of orders to do. They felt something was off anyways. Applejack was now regretting her choice because now it seemed the final moments of her friend's life was over and she was gone.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight was inside the library when she got a letter from the princess. Spike spit it out and read it before quickly handing it to Twilight... the world felt blank as she found out what caused the explosion. Apparently some draconian noble had visited and was startled by the noise and felt attacked. He was going to attack the thing that made the noise.. the letter didn't finish the event because it was written before the boom happened but she put two and two together and had realized Rainbow Dash just used that weird attack on the dragon as some sort of last resort.

She remembered seeing that move being used to destroy a barn but a dragon is much more durable than a rusty barn. PInkie Pie wasn't informed of the situation given her current state of mind and recovery "What's that noise Twilight? I had a twitch and a fizzle and that meant something... bad... happened didn't it?"

____________________________________________________________

Scootaloo looked to the sky and saw the smoke clouds of prismatic colors and knew something was off. "That isn't the Tornado Rainboom... Momma-Dash!" She said before she used her wings and lifted off and rocketed towards the scene. "Momma-Dash! please be ok..." She said as she was trailing behind a odd color glow and tears....

____________________________________________________________

Fluttershy was shocked.... she saw the Sonic Rainbomb as her wife affectionately called it and started panicking. "no no no no no...... no no no no no NO!" She cried out as she was being held back so she didn't get into the moment.

The scene wasn't clear and no one knew what happened post Sonic Rainbomb all they knew was a dragon left a crater in the ground and was lying dead and charred from the explosion. There were some feathers and that's it. No body... nothing to identify as the assumed late Rainbow Dash...

____________________________________________________________

Celestia was in despair that boom and the fact she was too late to save any life. She didn't feel royal at all. She hadn't expected this kind of mishap to happen. She hadn't predicted the show the Wonderbolts were performing in would be in Canterlot especially not with Rainbow Dash at helm. She wasn't up to date with her subjects all because of the ambassadors visit. Now she fears the worst as she looks out her balcony and doesn't see a victorious Rainbow Dash being cheered on for her stunning performance... it was a sad day for all Equestria it seems.

Author's Note

So that happened. I wasn't intending it to but it just did. Well next chapter is about the after math of the events. Is Rainbow Dash dead? If not will she be able to continue flying? If so will she be able to face the consequences of her actions?

As the world weeps for the fallen hero what will happen next?

Find out next chapter in Crash and Burn.

Crash and Burn

Sometimes when a pony crashes so hard the world around it can't react and thus they end up recoiling with immense force. The sensation of the inflammation of the muscles feels like they are burning up. Heat spreads through high velocity and the force of the world burns away anything going beyond it's limit. Rainbow Dash had given her all to destroy a creature hell bent on killing. Equestrians saw it as a heroic victory, even if a certain few saw it as an act of war.

Celestia was still deciding on how to handle the event. She was concerned about the well being of the missing Wonderbolt and about the well being of her subjects. She knew that the tragedy is double edged for if Rainbow Dash has indeed died than the nation lot's its icon and in the face of a possible war an icon is usually seen as a beacon of hope. Celebrities have that effect on common folks where they can calm or even cheer up the worst crowd with just their appearance. No pony knows why that happens but it just seems to work.

It happened so fast the Sonic Rainboom, the ambassador reacting as if it was a sign of attack, the battle between the Wonderbolts and the ambassador, and the final blow delivered by Rainbow Dash. It was too fast for any pony to have stopped it from happening. The outcome could have been different and no pony had to die. Unfortunately many did.

The mayhem caused by such a sight meant some ponies got trampled by other escaping ponies. Some of the ponies refused to leave the area thinking the attack was part of the show, so they stood by till the very end until it was too late. The sad part was a foal who had been abandoned by its parents to save themselves had died... the ponies were suffering from the tragedy.

Questions were being asked and none were able to be given. The fans and the media wanted to know what happened to Rainbow Dash. Was she dead? Was she alive? Did she enter some new dimension where beings with some what intelligence rule the world with technology and write out interesting stories that get posted on a virtual realm? Too many questions were being asked With no way of positively answering any. Celestia closed her doors and walked away from her people in attempts to closer her mind and formulate a plan to hide the body or at least prevent this disaster from being learned about in Draconia. The ambassador's death would surely bring a war. A war against an enemy that Equestria can not win against.

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire felt her whole world and career crash and burn around her. The horrible tragedy and the disappearance of Rainbow Dash had caused a wide spread panic. Every pony was out looking for the would be victim of this great tragedy. She had sacrificed her life to stop an enemy who was powerful enough to survive a Sonic Rainboom.

Soarin was trying to find Rainbow Dash while trying to check on other survivors. When the body fell it caused a massive shock wave and it caused damage to the surrounding area. The Draconian ambassador was a full sized dragon and was pretty durable. It's death was a miracle and a tragedy all rolled into one. When he died the body fell from both the dead weight and the impact of the Sonic Rainbomb. The body fell with such force that it created a crater and took out many ponies with it.

Mistyfly had been escorting other ponies out and trying to evacuate as many as she could, she was worried about Spitfire but had a duty to do. She was caught by the shock wave and got seriously injured. She was rushed out by the medic ponies that were on stand by in each show. Even with the ponies helping out the casualties were still plenty.

Swift Wind had fled the scene when the evacuation had been she was scared and wasn't prepared for this and flew off away just for a safe distance. She saw the body fall and waited in a near by area for everything to settle. She wasn't going back to another Wonderbolts show for a while.

Fluttershy was rushing around as much as her pregnant body was willing to move. Though she didn't have to run around long as suddenly she met a familiar face one who decided to take her out of the area with an instant transportation spell. She had barely said the name before she found herself travelling across Equestria with in a split second and appearing inside a hospital room where a bunch of Doctors were frantically working to save the life of their patient.

The name she was going to say was Discord.

____________________________________________________________

The doctors were using all there experience and magic they could to help get their patient to a stable condition. Her body had been brutally devastated by blunt force trauma her wings had been broken in many places. The skin had burned from extreme heat and the bones broken in several places.

Using their best magical healing spells and superior medical knowledge they were able to mend the broken bones and even save the wings from being amputated. The wings were going to be able to allow flight but not for a while. She was still unconscious and went into cardiac arrest. They had spent the past hour working on the patient as they suddenly found themselves with her in their custody.

____________________________________________________________

Flashback

Ponyville Hospital was a place where ponies would come and get healed or where they would spend their last moments if they were unable to be saved. Since the rampant growth of Ponyville the Hospital grew and more wings were added. Doctors of worth had transferred to the new hot spot because of the vast rise of celebrity tourism and citizens of the town.

During the midst of a tragedy the doctors found themselves in the presence of a chaotic entity known as Discord. The mad god of chaos had a very injured and wounded pegasus. It looked morbid and they felt as if he was showing off his kill. "I need you guys to save this pony and I would so appreciate it if you did it.... NOW!" He finished with a dark tone that was easily able to get the Doctors to get their flanks in gear.

As soon as they tried asking questions to the Dragonquus he had disappeared as mysteriously as he had emerged from the seemingly empty abyss he had created. The door to whatever realm he accessed to travel here had closed and the doctors just realized why Ponyville wasn't the best spot to be a doctor pony.

____________________________________________________________

Since then they have been spending most of their time healing and keeping the celebrity pegasus alive. They looked around at the sudden noise of a squeaking timid mare and noticed it was just the wife... not caring of how she arrived and figured it had to do with the other mysterious visitor they just continued working on the cyan mare.

"Look I don't know how you got here or why Rainbow Dash is in this condition but I have to insist that you stay out of our way till we can get her in stable condition. She has had fractures and breaks all over. Blood loss and many other issues have made this complicated. The fact she is even alive is beyond miraculous so before you start getting upset with the results please understand it was literally hell just getting her to this point." He said before returning focus to the matter at hand.

____________________________________________________________

Discord was back in Canterlot castle and approached the very livid Celestia. "Before you get mad at me Celly, just know that I have saved Rainbow Dash's life... it would have been chaos and by the time she would have made it to the hospital with the mess at the stadium she wouldn't have survived the wounds." He said before allowing her to unleash her justified fury.

"You could have stopped all this Discord... Why didn't you?" She said with anger and disappointment. "I trusted you and you made yourself seem reformed." She was unable to express just how betrayed she felt.

"I am sorry Celly... I couldn't stop it. I tried holding the dragon back but... even my magic is useless against his armor. I couldn't quite tell you in front of him so I had to pretend I just didn't want to help and hoped it ended out ok. I am powerful but even our power has limits. All we can do now is hope that this chaos doesn't spread. If my magic doesn't pierce whatever shield they use to protect themselves then I am practically as useless in combat against them. So I did the only thing I thought would help. I saved the life of the only pony who can tell us how she was able to use her magic to take down the ambassador." He said in a tone of uncertainty he didn't know which part of the Sonic Rainbomb was able to take out the dragon, since it is a mix of mystical energy and natural forces.

Celestia had one request but decided she would do it herself "I am going to Ponyville... we shall keep her condition unknown to the world but let them know she is safe. We don't want her condition to be known by the public it wouldn't help any but if they know she is safe then it will ease the worry."

"Alright then I shall make sure the shipments of news papers that are sent over seas gets eaten or something... I don't know but I just know if the Draconians find out nothing will be able to protect my friend... I can't let my friend die." He said with a tone of finality.

____________________________________________________________

Celestia had sent a letter to Twilight Sparkle one that stated her friend was a live but to not tell anyone outside the group. That letter was read thoroughly and re read to make sure it wasn't some twisted vision of her desires coming in the form of delusion. She wasn't in the right state of mind after these odd random occurrences.

"Pinkie I know where Rainbow Dash is and we are all going to visit her. You get Applejack and Rarity while I find Scootaloo and the fillies. Let's get there fast... I want to see her alive." She said while flying out the window and heading off to where the 'filly five' were supposed to be hanging out.

Pinkie Pie just used her extraordinary 4th wall breaking power to jump across the ... fan...fiction.... and write the next part out.... the hell?

Applejack and Rarity follow Pinkie to the hospital and they do it without asking question because Pinkie says so...

____________________________________________________________

Twilight had searched around for the 'filly five' and was able to find Diamond Tiara crying with the Applebloom and Silver Spoon next to her. "Girls... where is Scootaloo?" She asked when she saw no sign of her or Sweetie Belle.

Diamond Tiara stops crying for a second " Sweetie Belle left to find someone to talk to about this, Scootaloo just flew off in that direction because of the explosion she saw." She said pointing to Canterlot.

Twilight had no clue as to how far the filly was capable of flying and knew she had to hurry to find her lest the filly loses control mid flight and crashes into something. "Thanks for letting me know and also I have an important task for you girls... you can't tell anyone about this but I need you to get to the hospital and wait for me and Scootaloo... if you find Sweetie Belle take her there. I will be there with Scootaloo before you know it." She said with a false smile wanting the fillies to get to where the news was surely going to be told. She wanted to make sure they knew it was the utmost importance that no one knew.

Twilight flew off in search of Scootaloo. The filly was a fast flier but surely Twilight being an alicorn mare could catch up...

____________________________________________________________

Luna had decided to do her part and insisted that Celestia rush to Ponyville. The mistress of the night was going to inform the Wonderbolts of Rainbow Dash being safe. She would also let the crowd know using her royal voice. Since she was suited to being the yelling and uncivilized of the two sisters she wouldn't mind the towns folk being annoyed.

Celestia had thanked her sister and hoped that everything was alright. She had then left by teleporting to where the sun could light up. Using the sun's rays as a path way she made it to Ponyville and then used her normal teleportation to reach the hospital.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight was unsure of how fast to go but knew she had to catch up to the filly. she tries going fast but she wasn't a great flier like her friend. She tried using magic to help but couldn't accelerate to sonic levels. "Scootaloo.... Scootaloo." She yelled out hoping that she was heard.

Scootaloo was already in Canterlot and was tuckered out. "Long distance flying.... not .. the brightest idea." She breathed out as she landed somewhere in the crowded streets of the royal city. She was too tired to fly and didn't feel like walking. She had wished she was able to fly towards where she saw the explosion but was instantly lost among the crowds and didn't know how to navigate. "Of all the lousy ideas I had to go with this one... good job Scootaloo... good bucking job." she said loudly as forgot she wasn't supposed to swear.

Twilight was about to give up but figured if the filly was trained by Rainbow Dash and she was some how able to fly then most likely she would be at Canterlot. So Twilight decided to jump the shark and teleport to Canterlot. She was surveying the city and tried looking for the filly.

Scootaloo decided to stop at a corner and look up in the sky with hope in her heart that Momma-Dash was ok. Momma-Dash can't die can she? I mean she has survived many a beat downs and crashes... she can't die because of some stupid explosion. She eats explosions for breakfast.. that is what she told me at least. She noticed in the sky was a flying egg head. "Hey Egg Head... what are you doing in the sky when your wings aren't meant for flying?" She joked as she was glad to see a familiar face.

Twilight at that moment hated Rainbow Dash for the briefest of moments for ever creating such a dreadful nickname. "Scootaloo we have to get to the hospital." She said softly when she landed next to the filly. "I will tell you all about it just hold on and I will bring us there... though I will warn you.. I will be pretty drain so... " She blushed a second before asking. "Can you make sure I get to the room alright or the waiting room. Just prop me next to Celestia ... or Pinkie." she added lastly for no good reason.

Scootaloo just smiled "Sure thing Twi... just you know don't bring us to the ever free on accident." She said not wanting to have some adventure with the alicorn. Adventure's sucks.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was feeling extreme pain.. she wasn't sure what was going on. She heard voices and beeping noises. All her mind was able to focus on was "She will be alright and as long as you don't move her to much and leave her resting she will make it through. Unfortunately..." The voice faded away and suddenly she was becoming aware of the world around her. She was in a hospital room and she smelled something that reeked. It was like someone lit a pony on fire and watched it burn... oh no...

"I am burned alive I am dead... Help it hurts.... Put me out... Is it dead?" She started panicking. The voices tried calming her and one of them was able to get through and calm her from her panicking state.

" Hey there it's ok... I am here my love.. so is our foal.. she is safe inside my womb. Don't worry we are alive. Thanks to you my love... We live because you risked yourself. The dragon is dead and you are all safe and secure." She said in her softest tone but loud enough to be heard. She was stroking her lover's mane and gently smiled as she was being recognized.

"I am glad your safe shy... but why do I feel like I went through literal hell and some how made it out barely alive?" she asked as her body was still in severe pain. Her mind was unable to grasp the situation she was in and felt as if she was being played for a fool.

No one answered her unsure of how to let her know that she was knocking on death's door and not the kind of knocking that usually someone gets to walk away from the door before the reaper opens it. "Actually my little pony we need to talk about all that... I am afraid that due to the unfortunate event that had befallen we might be in the midst of a war if any pony finds out. I need you to live incase we end up in a war we can't win. I need you to be there as a beacon. The dragon you killed... he was an ambassador... he was here on a mission and will be expected back anytime soon. I am sure someone will come looking for him. If that happens we will play ignorant and feign innocence. So please my little Pony for Equestria. Recover as fast as you can and don't do anything else reckless till we can settle this situation. I am officially ordering you to cease and desist performing and doing anything strenuous till your body recovers. I am giving full authority of you to your wife. I need you to not fight me about this... I need you to be the idol the world needs because Equestria might end soon."

Rainbow Dash knew she had caused the mess they might be in. She wanted to make it right. She would for the first time just take it easy and relax. Since she was alive after surviving a wicked crash and was now in the process of fighting the burns. Her victory had it's consequences and her being a Wonderbolt was not going to bring the world into turmoil. She had to recover but the process was going to be painful mentally and emotionally. Her body was bruised and broken.

____________________________________________________________

Fluttershy and her daughter had been tasked with making sure Rainbow Dash didn't do anything foolish. They took turns being at the hospital while they all tried finding a way to get her out of there without watchful eyes. They devised a plan and in weeks they would use that plan to bring Rainbow Dash to her house to rest. Though the plan was made now they needed to wait till Fluttershy was capable of taking full care of her wife with little assistance. Since the doctors had still been giving her certain powerful medications they couldn't release her till her body was able to do certain things on it's own.

Fluttershy had stayed by her side and refused to leave. They were inseparable and for the second time in her life Rainbow Dash felt super lucky to have an awesome mare at her side. Soon they rested together and life was slowly becoming less sucky.

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire was pacing around at the base. The tragedy had costed them but at the same time since it was also an event where Rainbow Dash 'saved' lives it was all forgiven. Still legal issues and problems arisen. The victims of the event wanted some kind of compensation and also wanted to know where Rainbow Dash was.

She was so stressed she took it out on Mistyfly double time. There sessions would become more violently erotic and their sleep very well deserved. The fine line between love and lust had kept them together but even with the tragedy bonding them it wasn't a happy 'relationship', nothing was right with them two. Mistyfly was too submissive and Spitfire was going insane.

Luna had entered the base of the Wonderbolts and made it clear it wasn't a social visit. She wasn't going to allow any further corruption to take place in her sister's team. She was going to officially disband the Wonderbolts till further notice. " I am here on official capacity. I have some good news and some very bad news. I shall start with the good news because I prefer it my way..." She started with a stern look as Spitfire had realized that this was going to be a storm of dung in a sense. "Rainbow Dash is alive and will make a full recovery... she is confined to bed rest and is to be kept hidden from media. The bad news is the 'Dragon' you guys destroyed was an ambassador of Draconia and the death of this noble may lead to Equestria's final war... A war it can't win... as such because of your actions Spitfire and your corrupt decisions and the many crimes you have committed against Equestria, and for manipulating Rainbow Dash I hereby strip you of your rank of Captain and disband the Wonderbotls... they are no more a force for Equestria and if any of your members wish to keep their military jobs they are to make an audition with Celestia and she will allow them to retain some kind of job that deals with protection. Spitfire... you on the other hand... are going to face trial. I will not allow you to walk free. You think we wouldn't find out? About everything... you disgust me as a pony of this great nation." She said before her squadron of nightly guards surrounded the base. " If anyone wishes to resist I have a Dragonquus on standby who has a penchant for making wings disappear." She said before the ponies rushed in and started taking everything down.

No longer would there be a Wonderbolts base and no longer would there be a Wonderbolts. Spitfire's worst nightmare had come true and worse of all she had caused it. The base was evacuated of all personal and the Wonderbolts were forced to turn in their suits. Tears had spilled that day and lives felt empty without their positions. Luna had no joy in doing her duty. She had decided to be the one they hated for Celestia to be the one they love. A sacrifice I make for my sister who I love eternally. She is my sister and she needs the ponies to be at her side in the coming days. So I will play the bad princess in hopes that in the final hour that the hope of the people will matter in the ultimate trial Equestria will face.

____________________________________________________________

Soarin was the last one left at the base. His whole life had vanished before him. His career lost and his stardom as well. He knows he can assimilate to normal life again but can all the others? Some people relied on the performances to make by. Not all Wonderbolts were paid equally .. usually the new recruits were paid less but with some rising in fans it was inevitable they would get more of the slice.

He felt like they just stripped him of his dignity. The end of the Wonderbolts? What does that even mean? Spitfire now in civilian clothing watching along side of Soarin. Mistyfly was right next to her still. Even with Spitfire's actual authority removed she wasn't going to abandon her now of all times.

The rest of the Wonderbolts had all flown to the side of their ex leader. They all saluted her and lined up to see the last remaining pieces of their base be hauled off or destroyed. It was a shame... so many memories and so many dreams of future generations gone.

Spitfire had no regrets she did what she did in order to keep their force strong. A mistake she made was getting sloppy. She lost her mind in the events that lead up to this moment. Now it wasn't a matter of if but when and that when is now. No longer was she a respected celebrity or captain she was just another pony.

Their return to the base was after they had seen the papers. The stories told about the ruler of the night disbanding the group and also about the allegations against Spitfire. The fans of the Wonderbolts all cried out against the decision. Panic was ensuing and the Wonderbolts in style had decided to calm the masses and tell them it's ok. "It isn't ok... I know we said that to them but it's not right. We earned our keep and we did amazing things... one major buck up and we get disbanded? Why couldn't they just slap our wrists like they did with Rainbow Dash?" She questioned. There must have been some other reason for the disband of their group.

Celestia decided to show up to their base and greet them they all still bowed while some how managing to stay in the air. " I know you ponies are very upset. I am afraid this is the only way to get the media off the tragedy. If many keep bringing up the events of the stadium they will eventually spread the news to unwanted territory. I know you feel betrayed but your sacrifice will keep this country safe. I have also come here to give you guys the same pay you were receiving performing but while doing other duties. I am afraid that Equestria may head into war and I need all of your expertise in combat and aerial maneuver to be used to train my guards and help them become better and stronger. I know some of you may not wish to partake on this and still may wish to try and fight the 'system' but I assure you there is no reviving the Wonderbolts not until this mess is dealt with."

She had finished her speech and unanimously the group of military show ponies were in agreement " We have all decided to take your offer for now... But we have one condition... When Rainbow Dash recovers we want her to join the war with us. She may not have been captain of the Wonderbolts but she is our captain. She has proven that she has what it takes. I know my words mean nothing with what I have done... but I think I speak for everyone when I say. Rainbow Dash deserved to be a Wonderbolt... and I still say she deserves to be our captain." Spitfire said with honesty. She wasn't going to apologize for her actions towards the other pony she was just going to accept the fact that in the end she wasn't the leader she expected herself to be. Rainbow Dash had truly deserved to be a Wonderbolt regardless of some paper saying she was mentally unfit. Because in the end her loyalty to Equestria had saved it. Regardless of it causing a war that dragon had a look of murder in it's eyes. So even if she was going to suffer for her actions she at least had some solace that all was not lost. As long as ponies like Rainbow Dash existed Equestria would stand a chance against any threat that comes their way.

Celestia had a small smile and said something calming "For once we actually agree on something. Which is why I am forcing Rainbow Dash to stay in rest and she is being fussed over by her wife. It's the cutest thing ever to watch but I am afraid I don't have time to be a voyeur. We must prepare for was regardless of it occurring. If we win the war that we may face consider the Wonderbolts re-established.

____________________________________________________________

Night fell on the world. Equestria blanketed by the night sky and the stars. The moon full, brightening the darkness that was cast over by the passage of time. Slowly the world waits for words to be spoken but the night sky speaks none. Luna up and ready to face the world she is accompanied by a mad god. "Discord... I have a serious question... with me Cadence, Tia, and Twilight and your magical powers what chances do we have if we go to war with Draconia?" She asks hoping for some sort of chance or even slim thought of positive outcomes.

Discord looked at Luna with the most honest face he could muster and frowned as he spoke in a tone that had no deceit in them "I am afraid that as we stand now... we have no chance in winning the war... We do have some hope though... you know what kind of strong magic can change the tide of battles. One force that can defeat all evil... that force is the power of friendship. It's a powerful force that I thought had nothing to it. I have friendships with ponies and I will use that thought to keep fighting. I know of a certain pony who's base power comes from her loyalty. Another who has kindness. One who uses laughter as a weapon. There is this honest one too. A generous soul amongst the crowd and lastly the one who binds them all.. the power of magic.... "

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was sitting up and talking with Fluttershy when some commotion in the hall way had stirred her thoughts and she was distracted. She wasn't able to ask what was going on as a squadron of Ponies she recognized as her team mates had visited her with no idea what they wanted. "Sup guys,... what's up?" she asked her voice unsure of their intentions but with no mobility to help her if they wanted to attack it was the end.

Fluttershy stood in front of her lover with her wings flared. She was going down fighting if it came to it. She was ready to start the charge if they got closer till a calming tone put her defenses down and her mind at ease.

"No harm meant we come in peace," Spitfire spoke as she watched the scene before her "you look like you have seen better days. I hope you are not too bucked up right now because we have some news for you. " She said with a sad town creeping in. "As of today... there is no more Wonderbolts ... we have been disbanded ... So ... as of this moment... you are....no longer a Wonderbolt."

Part 2 end

Part 3 next ... the finale of this fic is coming up soon

Author's Note

So the wonderbolts have been disbanded. Which means Rainbow Dash is no longer a Wonderbolt. What will that mean for her and will the upcoming events lead into a war between two nations? If so who will help them? Is Equestria doomed? These questions and so much more will be answered in the last part of To be a Wonderbolt: Friends and Family

Wonderbolt No More

They say in order to heal one must break completely. In her hospital bed upon hearing the news of her ex Wonderbolt status was just what Rainbow needed to fully break. She had heard her dream shatter apart after all she sacrificed just to make it work. She wasn't too upset. No she couldn't be. She was still with the best mare in all Equestria and had survived a fatal attack she made that ended up saving Equestria and damning it all in one go.

" So then... I guess it's all over huh?" She asked confused more than angry. The revelation wasn't a big shock as she expected something to happen with the news of imminent war on the 'might become the end of the all ponies' list.

Spitfire decided she had to come clean. Her reputation would be shattered but she could at least be able to look her 'friend' in the eye and hope to one day be forgiven since she needed to cleanse her soul. " Look Rainbow Dash I also have other news I need to tell you. I can do it now or we could talk privately I have nothing to hide. So would you rather I say it in front of everyone or would you like to excuse the room for a minute?" She asked while looking around.

The crowd of ponies were mostly the ex team of elite fliers and the rainbow maned pegasus' family and friends. Most of them had looks of confusion, others curiosity, and one with unbridled anger. Something was going to go down if they knew what kind of devious scheme she had used to keep the cyan mare in her grasp but she needed to be cleansed of her pain and suffering and of her guilt.

Rainbow Dash was not in the mood to be alone with bad news rising. She wanted her family there as she needed them and no longer was ashamed of being scared or hurt in front of them. Her tough mare rep was something a filly needed to keep herself safe from the fears of the world. This Rainbow Dash was more matured and able to accept that life isn't meant to be dealt with alone. "No they can stay... Just know whatever they do in my stead isn't on me. I am immobile so I can't react the way I would. I just don't feel like hitting anyone anymore either so go on tell me what you feel you need to."

Spitfire was racked with guild and yet she had the courage to go on and spill her soul in front of her would be judges. "Alright... Rainbow Dash your life wouldn't have been so bad had I not interfered. I kept mail from going to you that was addressed from anyone that would be able to make you quit. I pre read all your letters and made sure only supportive ones were delivered. I am the one who went against the doctor's orders and let you continue being a Wonderbolt when warned about how your mind couldn't handle it...." She was slowly feeling the anger out of each pony around her but she had to continue and she had to be strong it was her only chance to begin redemption even if she didn't deserve it. " I knew you were drugged and out of your mind and I let you be as you slowly destroyed yourself. I saw the incoming publicity and how it just made us more popular having a 'rebel' in our midst. Then I am the one who poisoned Tank... " She was going to continue on until she saw the look of pure hatred that was cast towards her.

"You.... " Rainbow Dash started but kept her cool because of her condition "Just.. continue on but once you are done saying your peace I want you to be gone from my vicinity, whatever that means, and buck yourself." She said while laying her head back down on the hospital bed as tears slowly poured down her face.

"Also the moment at the night club was set up... When Applejack had ran off I stopped you for the sake of the performance, it was a lie I just didn't want you running off and possibly feeling guilty for leaving. I even... donated to the Pinkie Pie cause just to have some favor over you and was able to book that show because of it... I used my prestige to book us that gig and it was the entire reason we are here... I am the cause of all your suffering Rainbow Dash... and I am sure this won't mean anything to you and you probably will ever accept it but I am so truly and very deeply sorry." She said as she spilled a tear in remorse.

She was about to leave until a hoof collided with her face. It wasn't anyone she would have expected on normal circumstances. The hoof was of Mistyfly as she looked extremely angry and hurt "Did you use me... did you use me for this stupid tour?" She asked with tears pouring down her face. Spitfire wanted to say no... but she already had been honest enough.

"At first... I did... but after." She didn't get another word in as she was pushed against the wall of the hospital and held in place by an angry sub/lover.

"Why... all this for your fame? Wealth? Status? I can't believe you. I ... gave myself to you... my heart my body and everything I could. The things I let you do to me... all because I had thought we had something... look me in the eye now in front of everyone and tell me the truth.... " she was breathing heavily and scared of what the next reply would be "Do you even love me... or am I just some toy to you?"

Spitfire wanted to be anywhere but in that hospital room, she could feel the looks of hatred and disgust being directed towards her. She had to be honest and didn't know if what she said next would even be some what comforting to the already angry crowd. "I would say I don't love you but I can't say that with honesty. I don't know what true love is but if it helps I enjoy having you around... at first it was just for kicks. I would do as I please and then snuggle up to you because it was just my way of being alive... But as time grew and before I dumped you the first time I was feeling something that scared me. I don't do love because I traveled too much to settle down. When I 'attacked' you in the showers that day I had wanted nothing more than your complete submission." She was going to continue but she decided to wait a second to let her thoughts catch up. "So then afterwords I was just having fun. Until... you showed how much you were willing to put up with to just spend time with me... I ... I guess I started feeling what I used to for you. I don't know if it's good enough but I honestly can't say any more without stepping into the bounds of half truths or maybes."

Mistyfly softened a bit. "We are going to have a nice long talk when we get home... and by home I mean the place I am moving into with you. You made me yours now you are stuck with me." She declared before dragging her 'owner' out the door.

Fluttershy was angry. "I wanted to hit her too... shoot!" She said to the surprise of everyone. So that moment was one they would never forget but for Fluttershy it was a moment she never had thought possible. It seemed Rainbow Dash had not ony been the victim of circumstance but of another pony's ambitions.

____________________________________________________________

The other guests had left that day leaving the immobile cyan pegasus and her spouse and two foals. One was a filly who became a daughter the other was nestled inside her mother's womb. The gender of the foal was discovered as they checked Fluttershy for any injuries when they found out about the incident.

The doctors were told to keep all information regarding the rainbow maned mare's whereabouts and condition a secret. The public were demanding for knowledge but the princess had told them all would be well with Rainbow Dash and she just needs to recover for the moment.

The hospital security was tighter due to the mobs of ponies wanting to see their hero ok and well. Some were suspecting that Rainbow Dash had died and the ponies close to her were just keeping it a secret because of the tragedy. Some ponies were blaming the ex Wonderbolt of being the cause of the suffering of that day. Her Sonic Rainboom which had been the source of joy for many was the exact reason the event happened as it did.

The loud noise and the force of it had startled the diplomat who decided to see that stunt as an act of war and retaliated by trying to kill the cyan mare and with the threat of killing all those around her in his wake. So regardless of what happened she did save ponies that day even if she was the cause of them needing to be saved.

Silence kept her comfort as her wife was asleep. She had her wife next to her as they lay on the bed against the doctor's orders. Fluttershy just wanted to be close to her. Scootaloo was on the other side napping. Rainbow Dash was just happy her family was safe. She knows that no matter what her family comes first and if some threat to the land of Equestria was coming then it better bring everything it has because she wasn't going to take it lying down... when she recovers that is.

____________________________________________________________

Applejack and Rarity headed off to their home at Sweet Apple Acres earlier, they had wanted to just unwind and spend time together. The constant tragedy bringing them together but also making them worry about the future of Appleseed. Would he be able to live in a world like this with all the mishaps and tragic events constantly bombarding his family?

The entirety of the situation was becoming too much. Even with their unity and love it was still hard for them to process the current events that were plaguing their family. Rarity was still planning on a wedding , no war would stop her from having her special day. She was going to be come an official member of the Apple Family... Rarity Apples? I don't like the sound of that... but maybe I can just be Rarity... that works better. She didn't mind any name changes but still wasn't that into becoming an apple by name. She wasn't an apple logo'ed pony like her soon to be spouse.

She wondered if that would cause any segregation within the Apple clan as she already seen how the relationship wasn't as welcomed already. She wasn't going to let these thoughts ruin her joy of being with the mare she loves. She gave Appleseed a small kiss on the forehead after setting him down on the crib. She then went to her future wife and kissed her with full passion and smiled softly.

"What ya thinkin' about there Rares?" she said adopting the nickname that Rainbow Dash used to call her lover. Applejack wasn't that into pet names so she used the cutest she could muster while still being a rough and tumble farm mare. She started stroking her mane and smiling "Ya ok Sugar Cube?" She asked when no answer was given.

"I am scared... I don't want to lose you or Appleseed. You both are my life now... I can't picture a day without holding my precious foal and my precious wife to be... I used to be all about fashion and with my career rising I thought I was going to be some snob and just leave town and live my dream... " She said before pushing herself on to her lover and holding her while putting her head to the farm mare's chest "I was able to be saved from that by your love... I am with you and honestly I never want this to end... When you had finally been able to open your heart and mind and begin to let my love in and accept it... it was the greatest day ever. I never want this feeling to end... the unbridled joy I get when just being by your side and the immeasurable amount of pride I have when taking care of my foal. I don't care what legal standards say my name is on that certificate and as long as you let me be the mother of our foal I will be a mother to him." She said with all her might put into those words.

"My love, don't you fret none. That foal is as much yers as he is mine you helped me get through the rough patches and even massaged my whiny flank when the pains came in. Honestly I don' know if I would have survived my pregnancy had it not been for ya." She said while holding her stressed lover. "I am going to be honest Sugar Cube... I am scared too but I know one thing for certain is... I'm not going to let ya go, yer family ta me regardless if we ain't got some fancy document ta say so." She said while pulling her lover up for a kiss and gently letting passion overtake the night.

That night the two mares had made passionate and much needed love. They were uninterrupted and enjoyed themselves. The darkness of the world was pushed aside for the light of their love to shine through their hearts. The uneasiness melted away as they both shared a blissful night under the starry sky above.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight and Pinkie Pie were on the same bed. Twilight was putting her book away and yawning signifying her body's response to a long day. She was about to sleep alone but something in her mind possessed her to invite her pink friend to stay the night.

"Pinkie... I know you are feeling better and soon you will be cleared mentally and emotionally to move back home... until then Pinkie Pie... care to share my bed with me? I enjoyed being snuggled by you and it feels nice having a friend around. Celestia has been so busy lately... I just need to be held. I will understand if it's uncomfortable just... we been accidentally sleeping together snuggled up. I just want you to know I rather we do it on purpose... the snuggling... not that we are doing anything else." She said nervously. Smooth move Twilight scare your friend off why don't you.

Pinkie Pie put a hoof to her chin in thought and rubbed it slowly. "Twilight... I know you don't feel it because of your love for Celestia... but I am worried you are enjoying Pinkie Pie more than you should... I know I am superduperific and very smooth and comfy... but I don't want you doing something you will regret... I mean... what if you forget you are with the princess for like one second and then Whoosh you and Pinkie are like *kiss noises* and suddenly Celestia goes... " She stopped using her normal Pinkie voice and made a mock ricky ricardo voice "Twilight I am home.." before returning to her normal voice " and then she sees us all going... Bam bam bam.. so then what?" she said as if the conversation hadn't taken the turn for the ridiculous.

Twilight blushed.... she never thought about the possibility of Celestia visiting her and seeing her in bed with her friend... she didn't even care almost. What happened to our love Celestia.. is it truly fading or am I just being tempted by what is there for the taking? I can love both can't I? I know I hurt you with Flash but.. damn it being with an immortal princess who is constantly busy is rough... can't I just take this easy relationship now and be all responsible and understanding later? I mean... she is so comfy... I could lose myself to her pink puffy body... Celestia give me a sign... come take me tonight or send me a letter saying I can rut my friend and enjoy myself... help me.

Just as if her prayers went heard a letter had been sent to her one that would give her heart a break but also open new doors. The letter read "For Twilight's eyes only"

She hid herself from her pink companion and read on.

Dear Twilight Sparkle

I am afraid with the current events and the possibility of a war that I will have no time for you. It truly saddens me but I don't feel it fair to keep such a young and passionate mare held up. I noticed your closeness to the recovering Pinkie Pie when we were all at the hospital and as much as it pained me it helped me make this decision. Because I won't be able to love you when I am planning on protecting my subjects, with the little time I have free just to rest I won't be able to properly tend to your needs or heart. I won't lie I am sort of relieved you found someone to be attached to but do not jump into a relationship with her unless you are absolutely sure it's what you want. Because if you do decide to take a lover I will not allow you to break up with that pony just to get back with me when it's convenient for us. I wouldn't feel right and I was already selfish once. So whether you are reading this with unending sorrow or with even a small hint of joy. I urge you to think carefully because when the war is over and if you haven't taken a lover we can finally be together without any worry. If you decide to take the easy route and allow yourself to get lost in the joys of love and pleasure then maybe lifetime we can be together... you see I am not sure if you will be immortal Twilight... this is why I say choose wisely. You may have become a princess but like cadence you will age. I don't know if you will stop aging like me and Luna and I can't guarantee that we will have eternity so the next choice may be a permanent one. Can you wait for me or will your heart find itself in the company of another heart? Regardless of your choice I will always love you and be your mentor.

Yours Truly
Princess Celestia.

She put the letter down and felt some forelegs wrap around her from behind.. she was a bit startled but felt a warm breath on her ear. The voice unusually soft and seductive whispered "I just want to make you smile... you can choose whether I can make you smile as a friend... " she said before slowly sliding a hoof down her friend's front side resting near her marehood. "Or I can make you smile really big like as your lover... in the end...." she licked Twilight's ears making her shudder. " It's all up to you... but if Pinkie Pie had a choice my superific friend... I would..." she slowly rubbed the top of her friend's marehood causing her to gasp. "I would choose lover. Because Pinkie Pie can go... as long as you need her to. Pinkie Pie will always be faithful and no matter how busy Pinkie Pie is... " she nibbled Twilight's ear and tugged it gently before breathing in her ear hotly and with nothing holding her back promised "I will always make time for you... and I will always love you." she said before slowly sliding her hoof into Twilight's marehood.

Twilight had a choice that night. She could stop this ever increasing joyful invasion and be faithful to her princess or she could allow the deliciously seductive pink mare take her over. The choice was becoming harder as the other mare continued her ministrations as was seemingly ready to claim the lavender alicorn's body. She had to decide fast and make a choice. She just hoped it was the right one.

____________________________________________________________

Across the seas of Equestria lay a land known as Draconia... the grandest dragon ruled continent in all the known world. The leader King Dragunda, was a kill now ask questions later kind of guy. He had sent for his servant to fetch the ambassador from his home and report the situation of his missing son who left for Equestria to be free his 'tyranny' and start a new life.

The servant was running rapidly not wanting to cause any anger to rise from his lord. Dragunda was a royal hot head and would destroy any who opposed him and usually in due time because of his power and speed he was the most powerful dragon to have ever existed. His power was legendary to all of Draconia and parts of the known world that have good understanding of dragons and standing relationships with them. His servants feared him and his wife obeyed.

She would never undermine him or go against his wishes. Unlike Equestria, Draconia wasn't a matriarchal society and was a typical patriarchal society like the home of the gryphons. The backwards land of Equestria was usually the subject of scrutiny to the other nations as they felt a female dominated society wouldn't be effective in times of war. Sexism was rampant across the world and it's the reason most Draconian dragon's didn't associate with any Equestrian ones or any ponies period.

The servant returned minutes later with distressed appearance and a shaking body. "My lord... the ambassador's wife had not seen her husband return. She says he never came back or hasn't been heard from since his trip to Equestria. Do you think something happened my leige?" He asked before the angry king ended his pathetic life and ripped his head off tossing his lifeless body to the side and challenging anyone else to suggest such lunacy.

"You stupid fool a Draconian dragon such as Eligor would never have let himself be defeated by some stupid Equestrians... your death was because of your ignorance. Anyone other dragon feel like bringing such stupid ideas to this court today? Any?" He asked with his powerful voice causing most of his guards and servants to shake in fear. "I thought so... send Belgar to Equestria and have him ascertain the whereabouts of my dear friend Eligor and my son Rahtat. I will not accept anything but success. Instruct him to not return until he has news worthy of my attention..... and some one clean this mess up." He said with finality as he calmed himself down.

His wife was just gently rubbing his side relaxing his nerves and getting him aroused "Ah my dear wife you know just what I need after a day of disappointment now prepare yourself for I shall mount you right here and anyone who wishes to view may see just how this kingdom is run... with a king at it's helm." He said while chuckling. He wouldn't usually humiliate his wife like this but the thought of some pony being able to end his friend was just angering the dark king. Someone had to pay and the messenger already died. So his wife would take the brunt of his anger with no recourse since she was his wife and in Draconia wives were submissive to their husbands needs.

____________________________________________________________

Belgar was a young but powerful dragon. He was known for his savagery and his superior hunting skills. Any prey that dare cross paths with him was as good as dead. His elite skills made him top hunter in his kingdom. Since nothing could escape his deadly arsenal of claws and breath, he was able to bring anything to the king even if it was another dragon's head. He was just looking into the sky bored while laying on his back his wings splayed out as suddenly he felt the movement of the winds shift. He smelled a scent of an intruder and readied himself.

When he noticed it was just a messenger he chuckled. "What news you bring the top hunter of Draconia?" He asked in his confident manner. His skills were legendary and even the king recognized his greatness. This made him prideful and a bit of a braggart but it helped him with the ladies. Sometimes other dragon's wives as well. He was known for his quickness and agility in doing his tasks but was also known to show off.

The messenger weakly smiled and spoke with uncertainty. "Well our lord and master King Dragunda has given me the task of informing you that you are to head to Equestria and locate Eligor who hasn't returned. Also to find out where Prince Rahtat is. He has made it clear that it is a top priority mission and you have a day to prepare for your journey he asks you return within a month's time maximum. Also he says if you could also bring back a skull of an Equestrian dragon that would please him. He wishes to do some awful things to the skull and for decency sake I shall not repeat them." He said meekly before heading off.

The top hunter in Draconia suddenly found himself amused. "Well, well Eligor... I hope you are not becoming a pony in your stay ... I would hate... to have to slice your throat open for treason. Anyways time to get me some poon and some supplies and I am out of here." He said while chuckling. His youth and his size betray his fury. Even at his smaller stature he is known to not be trifled with. Some bulky dragon had made the mistake of challenging him to battle over the right to mate with a cornered lovely female they found. The big bulky dragon should have moved on but instead he had an untimely death at the hands of the much younger and more agile killer.

The only issue other dragons have with this wild hunter was he showed no mercy and would often kill other dragons even in the smallest of fights he had no issue in doing so. He wasn't even sorry when he did. He wasn't capable of caring about his victims and wouldn't hold back for any reason. To most dragons he was a menace to the king he was a worthy weapon.

Recovery

Recovery, mostly used to tell when things are being fixed, it can also describe a state of acquiring something that was lost. Sometimes when things are recovered it can be a mess. A dragon seeks out his fellow Draconian and the son of their ruler. This task if successful will surely cause the war, that could end Equestria, to start. Another aspect of recovery is in the form of Rainbow Dash. Her body slowly being repaired by good care and natural healing. Her brush with death was nothing more than a catalyst that was instrumental to the possibility of war.

Two different speedsters both on the path of recovery. The question is who will recover first?

____________________________________________________________

A week preparing for his journey to Equestria and his mission had made the Draconian hunter a bit on edge. Eligor was his friend and was also a very capable dragon, if something had surely taken him down it would be something very fierce. No Equestrian dragon could surely take down the likes of Eligor... He was top tier like me. If anything had taken him out it was surely the work of many forces. The princess of Equestria's magicis powerful but it isn't enough to break our magic resistant armors. We are warriors not diplomats.. Eligor even if not properly fitted with the finest armor should have been able to take out anything that was isn't Draconian. Nothing is as fierce as our species of dragons. We crush everything in our paths. I dare whatever had even remotely had any chance of hurting Eligor to attempt the same with me. I will crush it's body, and devour it's soul.

His vow was to locate his missing friend and the son of the king before returning to his people. He was at the edge of Draconia's border and was ready to take off. Before he launched off and began his mission he sniffed an artifact that Eligor's wife had given Belgar to track her husband with. She said it should have his scent, for Belgar it was enough because hunting was his main job in Draconia. No other dragon was as lethal and skilled at the task of hunting. He took a huge whiff of the object and rushed off at high speeds. His goal was not going to elude him and if anything was to distract him or try it would be met with ruthlessness and annihilation.

As fast as he was the extremely agile hunter couldn't surpass the sonic barrier, he was still able to ascend to speeds beyond normal dragons but his stop speed was the equivalent to Spitfire's speed at best. Dragon's weren't know for their agility but this speedster was all about it. He would command the skies to part for him as he flew through he felt like he was the master of the endless blue. Which he felt was the only place that King Dragunda couldn't rule. It was his own little slice of pie that was his alone. He was careful never to reveal any dissent against his lord but at the same time he was getting bored living under the old fool's rule.

He had his own plans to one day rule over Draconia but in order to do so he would need some method of ridding himself of the ogre-like dragon king.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash had been recovering well enough to be brought home. A teleportation spell was able to get her there with minimal complications. While forced to stay in bed she was tended to by her wife. It was embarrassing to say the least.

Fluttershy smiled bright at this new house kept Rainbow Dash, she wasn't able to get in trouble with her body in such a state. while it was saddening to see her lover so broken it was also a blessing to see her be still and relax. "I made you some soup my love." Cooed the loving wife of the rainbow maned celebrity.

Rainbowmania was still wild. Many fans have been lining up outside the house of Rainbow Dash just to get a sneak peek of her and see how she is doing. Unfortunately for them the guards that now prevent entry into her home make sure that it stays that way. No pony can enter unless they are designated by the house owner herself.

Security officials were sent by Celestia to keep from any unwanted visitors to hinder Rainbow's healing progress. With a war possibility still looming her expertise and power could prove useful if facing a threat like the might of Draconia. No pony knows just how many warriors a continent full of dragon's has but it wasn't something they wanted to find out.

Rainbow Dash was barely mobile she relied heavily on her wife for things and was in pain most of the time. Her body though was hit with enough residual healing magic to help speed up the recovery process. She just wished she could be already air born not liking the ground as much as her family seems to enjoy. Her mind always on flying wanting to enter the world above that was hers and only hers. For nothing could command the sky like she could. No pony could ever match her speed and she wanted it all back. She vowed once she recovered she would fly straight into the sky and perform a Sonic Rainboom. It was her way of letting the world know she was the Sky Goddess once more.

____________________________________________________________

Belgar touches down on Equestria his nose in the air sniffing. He had a long way to travel but can pick up the feint scent of his friend and uses that trail to find him. He has to hurry as his other important task is finding the son of the Draconian king and now one knows his scent since no one was allowed to carry any of the prince's possessions with them. Royalty in Draconian were treated as gods and they were infallible and without sin. They could do whatever and no harm should come to them for they are the rulers and were chosen by fate to rule.

Belgar thinks about how he can use the son of the King to play a deadly game of chess. All he has to do is force the king out of his throne and into the sky and it's checkmate. The king while in his castle was protected by a series of guards and were great fighters. Yet no matter how many guards surround Belgar in the air it was fruitless pursuit. No one could match him in the sky. With his new crowning as king playing out in his mind he takes a quick break and just relaxes. He has a month to find his targets... he didn't have to rush at all.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was whining more fiercely each time she wanted something. Her ability to get things on her own were usually taken for granted now she just wished she could walk right and not have to call out to a pregnant mare and a rebelling filly. Even if Scootaloo was still a bit young for it she was starting that rebellion phase and would run around on her scooter with Diamond Tiara like she was some 50's gangster or something. It was cute but annoying. She could be flying instead but felt it was insulting to go around flying while her mother could barely move on her own.

She wanted to wait till Rainbow Dash could fly before she flew again She was using her scooter to traverse Ponyville with Diamond Tiara always in tow. Their rocky relationship was still going though Scootaloo wasn't sure how long it would last. With the happenings around her family she decided to just keep the some what working relationship on so she didn't rock the boat.

Diamond Tiara was happy and oblivious to Scootaloo's delight. They held hands and kissed on the cheek at times and she was never needing more. Sometimes when they felt really giddy a kiss on the lips would be their high end intimacy. being fillies and not really knowing about what to do next they weren't into trying stuff that adults did. Especially when Fluttershy told Scootaloo that she would tan her hide if she was doing things like that at her age.

Rainbow Dash was chuckling the whole time she said that because she doubt that threat carried any weight. It was just a mother trying to be protective in the fail kind of way. It was cute seeing Shy be motherly. It was something that she was hoping would keep up after giving birth. She wanted to see her wife handle the foal so she could learn how to take care of their new born.

Rainbow Dash was reflecting on life and how it reached this point. What a strange journey it has been. I feel like I went on some kind of adventure through reality and fantasy... as if I was merely just floating in some odd dimension through time and space... life has moved from some what stable to completely bucked up within these past months. The world felt different. The innocence of the world died it seemed the moment she left to be a Wonderbolt.

Now that she wasn't a Wonderbolt what did that mean for her life and family? What kind of job could she get? After earning the big bucks and being used to the life it was hard regressing. Her somewhat decent salary as weather manager wasn't as much as just being in the Wonderbolts. Never mind the gig and the merch. Even with her celebrity status it wasn't as much as being paid for a gig.

Now she had to think of a new future and one while trying to focus on getting flight ready. She had no time to worry about other thoughts. Her body was gaining strength each day. She had no connection to the outside world. She was isolated from her friends as they all have been doing their own things for a while. She knew that if war came a calling they each would be used in some manner.

Pinkie Pie was an expert in contraptions. Her party cannon and Pinkie Copter were just random inventions she could make seemingly out of nothing. She would be called to help create an arsenal of unusual weaponry and teach the ground forces how to use it. She would be instrumental in helping even out the odds for those who couldn't fly.

Applejack with her apples and food making abilities would probably be in charge of making rations. She could also teach the ground forces to use their legs for offensive maneuvers. since she could buck trees with one swift and precise kick.

Rarity would be making outfits and packs for the military. She could probably re gear the Wonderbolts with their trademark suit since she knows how to make them. So maybe the Wonderbolts can make a comeback but just not officially.

Twilight will be able to help the unicorn portion of the military hone their magic to be more useful in aiding the pegasi or just use them to harness other kind of combat magic. Not all spells have to be offensive. Shielding a pegasi as he strikes would be useful.

Fluttershy, would probably be a medicwith her expertise in caring for animals and ponies, well one stubborn and whiny pony at least.

While the rainbow maned pegasus herself would be fighting along side the troops and guards. Ready to rain hell on any enemy. Though her raining hell on a certain giant dragon did her in recently. Not to self don't use the Sonic Rainbomb on super dragons.

____________________________________________________________

Among a volcano in Equestrian soil was one full of Equestrian dragons. They were deliberating with each other over the arrival of a Draconian one. They didn't know how to approach the situation since he wasn't part of their group. He was some outcast who ran from home claiming to be some prince. They weren't too fond of him. They didn't like his air but especially his inability to discern what was etiquette and what was just plain crass in Equestrian society.

"I will have you know that I could eviscerate your group within an hour and then you will all obey my orders... I am a prince and I am not one to be trifled with. My name is Rahtot and I am looking for some dragons to fall under my rule. I have been searching high and low for a good group... the other dragons decided they would challenge me and I had to annihiliate them without any hesitation. So my fellow dragons.. " the soft spoken royal dragon spoke with a flare in his eyes "What shall it be? Join me and obey me or fall and become extinct?"

The group of Equestrian dragons weren't going to take any nonsense from just one Draconian dragon. Sure they were no match compared to a Draconian one on one but surely all their numbers would be able to wipe the floor with the snotty Draconian. They choose to fight him off and with no effort were killed one by one as the prince made quick work of them. While not as agile as Belgar he was every bit as powerful as his ogre-like father of a dragon. He had strength that was legendary and with his tough hide and scales it was nearly an invincible shield. Ego and pride were rampant in Draconians so often they had no issue with showing off or recklessly challenging any foe. Which usually resulted in death battles between two Draconians. Though he was strong and tough he was still a prince and wasn't too fond of real battles. Picking on weaker dragons or weaker species of animals was his game. In a fight against another well trained Draconian dragon it would be not in Rahtot's favor.

____________________________________________________________

Celestia, Bash Wing, Discord, Luna, Cadence, Twilight Sparkle , and Spike were all present in a meeting. The meeting was to determine the next plan of actions with regarding the death of the ambassador and the hiding of the body. They had to bury it really deep on the advice of spike because of the powerful sniffing qualities the Dragon's have compared to ponies.

The scent of the dead dragon was foul and was able to pierce soil and permeate the area. They had to get as many trained and armed ponies to help with the operation. Dragon was not keen on seeing a dead dragon especially since he was a dragon himself but he was glad at least he wouldn't know if it was a kin to him.

Spike knew noting about his origins besides that he was used by the ponies as a test for magic. That kind of made him unsure about his destiny. Was he meant to be something ferocious or just a tool to be used? Was his family monsters or were they kind and tame? He had no idea of his past but he knew the future was looking grim if he had to fight other dragons. He remembered how pointless he was in the dragon migration. He wasn't able to fight off any dragon so how could he help in a war against super dragons?

Discord, a Draconquus, was neither dragon or anything. The mad god of Chaos was an entity that was Frankenstein-like in nature. he was a chimeric beast that inhabited the world of chaos and spread it through any means necessary. He had somewhat reformed and was willing to aid against the threat though he wasn't going to be a direct conflict against the dragons instead he would use his chaos magic to create disorder in the battle field and give edge to the ponies.

Celestia never heard from Twilight. She wasn't sure if that meant she was thinking about what to write back or was busy with something. Part of her mind had felt that maybe she has decided to take the offer of being with someone new. Since war was on the platform of discussion she had to push her own emotions aside and do what is best for her subjects. Regardless if one was playing a risky game of heart tag.

Luna was prepared to battle a thousand years locked up in the moon can make a mare crazy. She had been itching for a good fight and had been denied a chance by her sister. So now with this new threat she was ready to use the full force of her dark magic and wreak havoc on any fool who crosses her path.

Bash Wing had the worse job of all. He had to prepare his soldiers for a one sided battle. He knew they had no chance of winning but he was planning on giving his enemies some indignant hell courtesy of his hooves. He was just hoping the war could be avoided. Because even if Equestria survived it would be a waste land and the ponies would probably all go insane and end up devouring each other in pure madness.

Wars were never pretty and were best avoided. The war against the gryphons long ago lasted a whole year and it costed many lives on each side. till the treaty was signed and peace between two species was established it was dangerous just walking out of your house during the catastrophic war. Now they face an enemy so grand that it would take a miracle to even pull out alive. The miracle in his mind had to be much better than a trouble causing cyan pegasus.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was fully recovered from her experience. She had accepted herself and was no longer having crazy dreams or nightmares. She was living back at home and was helping at the bakery again. She was cheerier than usual and even smiling brighter. Back to her old self minus the extreme obsession with Rainbow Dash and no more Pinkamena giving her dark thoughts she was the party pony of Ponyville.

She had a great time with Twilight and that helped tremendously... she and Twilight... were complicated. That night they did have some fun and Pinkie was surprised at her own aggression in bed. She had Twilight in her hoof trembling with delight and anticipation and that led the pink pony to take her.

Twilight's moans were still ringing in Pinkie's head and her blush barely visible spread to her cheeks. She wasn't going to complain about the lack of a total win. She had some fun and that was ok for her. If Twilight wanted to be with the princess that was her deal and if she wanted some Pinkie time then that is fine too.

With her back to her usual self Ponyville was back to being a pleasant town with happy ponies. That was the best thing for Pinkie was seeing her friends smile. Her recovery was a full one and she hoped soon that her friend Dashie would recover so they could hang out as well again.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash smiled as she felt something give. She felt her leg as she tried standing up. She was able to walk. She felt like a champion. Not just a champion a grand champion. She was ready to take on the world. She was walking around until she fell and started crying like a foal. Her body shot in pain and her wings were rapidly flapping in panic.

Fluttershy saw the mess of a pegasus and scolded her "Now look what you did... I haven't massaged the legs today properly and you are trying to walk... you are making me lose my patience, do I have to tan your hide?" She asked using the only threatening words she ever learned from Applejack. It was cute when she said it though.

"I have some better uses for your hooves my dear Fluttershy. I have some better uses indeed." Rainbow Dash turned on her seductive charm and tried to be somewhat attractive as she could be with her body wrapped in bandages and her smell of not so fresh linen. She tried and failed hardcore.

Fluttershy wasn't into playing games or even giving an inch to the other mare. She wanted her resting and being well pampered. Her body was going through a rough healing process and wasn't going to enjoy added stress to the muscles or ligaments. Rainbow Dash was getting on her nerves. She would never hit her though. She wasn't the kind of pony who hit other ponies. She was gentle. Still Fluttershy wanted some damn obediance for once. It was hard worrying about a foal on the way and a filly with a rebellion streak but now a wife who was trying to force herself into the air while still being useless on the ground. It was getting too much for Fluttershy. "Babe... please.... for me just behave... I can't keep doing this it's getting too much." She said about to cry.

Rainbow Dash just felt like crap. "Alright shy... I will just lay here till you can help me get back in bed.... and I will stay there until my body is ready. I will try on focusing on just recovering and let the others keep things going." She said as gentle as she could muster. It wasn't going to be easy. She wasn't going to enjoy it, but she was going to relax and just let her body heal.

Whatever trouble the world was facing it could handle it without her.

____________________________________________________________

Belgar had arrived at Canterlot high above the city and felt the trail end above a stadium... the trail ended right there. No where did the scent pick up. Almost as if Eligor dissappeared right as he was flying. The impossibility of it was just astounding. Something must have hit him with so much force and so much intensity that is destroyed him on impact. Something that could also wipe away his scent. Something that would be able to magically wipe away any traces of existence. What in the name of Ragarul (Their version of what in the name of Celestia...) could be so powerful that it would annihilate any traces of my friend and just shatter him from the world. Something with that much power would be a force to reckon with and yet if I could use it to my advantage I can take over Draconia. Suddenly my one month stay is going to be a very valuable one. I shall forget Eligor for now and look for Rahtot with him captured and this new weapon, I shall seek out, I will be able to conquer Draconia and be sovereign ruler for as long as I live.

____________________________________________________________

Rahtot was bored after slaughtering the Equestrian dragons he had ran into. Surely something around here would amuse me? I need something to entertain me. I am hoping something here can finally understand my power and accept me as their ruler. I have tried three tribes of dragons here and I think I am getting no where. I wonder just what can keep me entertained. What is that? Three flying winged ponies? What in blue hell are three flying ponies doing ... wait... flying ponies eh? I could see where they are heading and maybe have some fun with them... surely I can enjoy some meat while here. I wonder what they are in a rush for. Well wherever they are going it will be an awesome time... Dead ponies and horrid look on young ponies faces as I eat their parents in front of them and laugh. I think I finally found my entertainment.

Three fast flying Pegasus were heading to Ponyville. What they didn't know was behind them lied a threat that was capable of ending them. With their goal set on visiting Rainbow Dash and checking on her recovery the three pegasi had inadvertently just created some trouble for their would be visit. It was something that was unavoidable since they had no idea they were being followed by a very bored and dangerous dragon prince with a penchant for killing anything that disobeyed it. Soon the town of Ponyville will suffer a great tragedy unless something can interfere with Rahtots war path.

Author's Note

So as you can see stuff is happening. With RD injured what can stop Rahtot from leveling Ponyville? What is Belgar's actual intent? What is the purpose of all thise side story filler crap? You will find out as the shocking conclusion to this fic continues with the final portion of To be a Wonderbolt: friends and family.

there are a couple chapters left before the story ends so I hope you all hang in there as it will all have a purpose. I would also like to thank all of you who stuck around and read this far. I know this fic kind of felt like it lost track with the original intent of the first one but the direction I am going with it was still the same. I have previously stated I have the general gist of what I want done with my fic planned out but the way I get there can change. Well for those of you who like this series you will enjoy the ending I have drummed up. For those of you who lost interest I thank you for at least giving this fic a chance :)

Declaration of War

Celestia was at the wrecked site of Ponyville. The town had taken another beating and the enemy had escaped. This was her worst nightmare come to pass. She wasn't sure how she could help but she knew her subjects needed her and she wasn't going to just standby anymore.

In times of great peril the power to break the natural order was a curse. She could surely heal Rainbow Dash back to full strength in an instant, regenerate Discord's decaying form, mend the broken bones and injured organs of Pinkie Pie and the ex-Wonderbolts. She was able to do so much and yet... if she did it would break her integrity. Being an immortal wasn't a blessing nor was being able to do the things she could.

The casualties of the infamous battle that took place merely a week ago was brutal. Since then her hopes had been diminishing as she knew what was on the rise. War... a war that Equestria will lose. A war against an enemy so fierce that it makes her shudder when thinking about it.

The draconian army was that of the toughest and most ruthless dragons in all Draconia. To make it in there you have to be able to take an array of damage and live. To be a superior ranking officer with respect meant being able to take out any enemy without any problems. The strength and might of each soldier was unfathomable when compared to an average pony.

Discord was a beacon of hope against the dragons, he had magic that wasn't bound by reality and with his disposition he could break the natural order without any regard of integrity or status. Even so he wasn't able to stop the hunter known as Belgar who nearly killed the ponies who bravely fought against him.

Big Mac was almost dead when they brought him to the hospital his body was durable but the force and velocity at which his body impacted the ground was immense. His vitals were unstable and the noises of pain were unbearable. That day one week ago was the worst day for him. Celestia tried to think about what her future would be if this is the conditions of ponies after just one attack from an enemy.

She wasn't able to deal with such sadness and pain. Since she wasn't able to do anything about it unless she succumbs to the guilt. She could do all the things she wanted but that would lead down a dangerous path. She heard of corruption over taking other great and powerful rulers. King Sombra was one of them. He had become so evil that his heart was literally black.

She didn't want to become like her sister and abuse power. Nightmare Moon was something she never wanted to deal with or see. She still is saddened by the thought of banishing her dearest sister to the moon. Especially since in the end all they will have is each other. While not into the thought of incest the princess knew that if she was ever to take a lover it would be too painful for it to be a mortal one. She doesn't know if Twilight will be an immortal princess or if she is bound to mortality like her friends. Even so if eons go bye at least if she ever desired it she could have her sister as company. This thought wasn't just random she was wondering about the condition of her heart. Celestia hadn't felt love in ages and heartbreak in longer. She wasn't sure if she wanted to take another lover and knew only one person could be there for her even after everyone else leaves her. Still it is a forbidden desire just like Twilight Sparkle was. Look how that turned out... I don't know where we stand and I don't even have time to think about it. My subjects are all down or beaten badly. I can't be selfish in a time like this. I must be strong. I just wish I could have the strength to break the natural order for this once without letting it consume me the need to make everything perfect... perfect for me that is.

Perfection wasn't objective. So like most subjective things the view of what is perfect is constant to change depending on who you ask. So if she made the world perfect to her liking how could it not be imperfect to others? If they must suffer imperfection than she must to. She has the right to be a warlord during times of war sure. But that feeling isn't something she can just turn off once it's on. She has to decide her path and stick to it.

She was a benevolent ruler and yet not able to be kind and heal all wounds. She wasn't wanting to risk altering the time line and causing some kind of spatial temporal collapse. Regardless of how advanced a culture is when destiny becomes altered it can lead to a mess. Such as the destiny of one Wonderbolt who should have never been one.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was semi independent, her body was healing faster than before since Fluttershy was able to give her more nutrients with the fans not crowding the house. Since the day of the grand battle the frenzied fans moved away to safer grounds not wanting to risk being killed if they could avoid it.

Since she could walk a bit and even run for short distances she began secretly flapping her wings and testing the maximum wing power her injured form could attain. It wasn't much but it was almost enough to get back into the sky and soar. Even if the doctors were against it, she had this desire to just fly. Ever since her fall and collapse she was itching to fly.

She was becoming more desperate for her body to become better. The fact she lived was a miracle and yet she wasn't appreciative of that. She wanted to be on top again. To fly and be free. The enemy wouldn't have escaped if she had been mobile. She knew that would be a fact but didn't know what would it matter if he wasn't fleeing because of fear. He was fleeing to warn his people of the sheer underestimation they had of ponies.

Even so Belgar only saw some special ponies not the entirety... not all ponies can be amazing like Pinkie Pie in randomness. So the fact he was basing it on the few ponies who had some special gifts was something that would surely make them over prepared and the winner by default. Rainbow Dash heard about all the ponies who decided to fight the invaders. They all fought hard and with dignity but in the end were no match for them.

It made her even more offended that she wasn't there to help. Loyalty was her calling and she couldn't even rise to the occasion because of her injuries. She hated feeling weak and vowed that next time something attacks Ponyville that she will fight no matter the cost. Because fighting for your family and friends to the end is what is means to be a Wonderbolt.

____________________________________________________________

Belgar had spent the week heading back home but stopping to make sure his injuries were able to be hidden from his friends and foes alike. Belgar had no family since he killed them all. He was cruel and ruthless when he slaughtered his father for abusing and degrading his mother even more so than any Draconian was allowed to do. They even had their limits of abuse of the spouses. It wasn't much but it helped keep the females safe from the savagery of the males.

After eliminating his father for such atrocities he then eliminated his mother for being so weak and useless. The Draconians only favored the strong and he took that to his battle ready heart. He wasn't ashamed of his actions but proud he didn't let his bond to his sire and mother stop him from doing what he felt was right.

Belgar had reached his homeland of Draconia and wasn't sure of why the place felt like a death trap. He was looking around at the vast and seemingly empty town of Sharduth, the town where he left to fly off to Equestria. The town usually full of Draconians big and small. It was definitely a trap ... But who would dare try and take me out and for what?

"Whoever you are, I have urgent news to bring the king. I hope you know that means your revenge or whatever this is has to wait." He said while scoping the barren lands for any sign of an attacker. He was greeted by another popular dragon in Draconia, Eizchal, and was already dreading his return.

"You know why I am here don't you.... only one reason for me to leave Dragunda's side... It means I have to execute a foolish hunter who thought executing a king's son was brilliant." He said while looking amused at the now terrified dragon.

"Wait... before I even address that allegation I have urgent and dire news... The ponies of Equestria have grown mighty... one of them killed Eligor with a single blow... and also one of them attacked Rahtot with no apprehension or fear. She jabbed him in the soft underbelly..." he wasn't going to finish the thought since he wanted to feign innocence.

"Yes... perhaps that did happen but I am sure that if what you say is true then surely you wouldn't have made it.... unless you some how managed to escape by the scale of your teeth?" He said as he was ready to strike down Belgar. Such a shame too he is one of the most excellent hunters that lived. Now he must die because even if his story is true he wouldn't have let royalty die in his place if he wasn't attempting to kill Rahtot himself. The king will hear this new news from me and not from the traitor... good bye Belgar. It was nice knowing you. He prepared his stance and went to lunge at Belgar.

Belgar knew this was going to be a bad situation but felt his primal need to defend his tribe infiltrate his head and it led him to this mess. "I don't want to fight you but if I must." He roared as he started advancing towards the incoming attacker. Their fight would be quick and brutal for no one would match the executioner.

"Sorry Belgar... but I am afraid... you just met your end." He said while attempting to behead his foe with his giant axe. The swing was clean and precise and in the end the executioner had a reason for such a reputation. He never misses with his axe and never lets any enemy get away. He would chase his target to the ends of the world and through Tartatus and back if it meant doing his lord's bidding.

Belgar had fallen in combat and fell to his death. The sky was no longer owned by him as his lifeless and headless body had become heavy and fell with such speed. Gravity and mass combined equals velocity when descending from high altitude. His body cratered the ground and stained it with blood. His legacy ended without any heirs and all because he had a dream he wanted to pursue.

____________________________________________________________

Rarity was scrubbing Big Mac's body with a loofa using her magic "Honestly sponge bathing a big lummox like you should be a high paying job... you had to go and be a hero huh?" Her voiced whiny and ungrateful. She was pissed off her almost brother in law went trying to be all bad ass and almost died. "So Mac the Dragon Slayer, any more desires to be a knight?" She said with annoyance. She was pissed because how stressed her lover had become during the ordeal.

He was smiling and enjoying his revenge. You sleep with my sister now you have to bathe my broken body... justice.. Eyup. He wasn't sure why he felt like this was a win for him, but since it was a win he was going to enjoy it. "You know I only did what was right... still I rather it be me than you or my sister... she needs you and well you aren't so bad ms. Rarity." His voice was nothing but honesty.

She softened.... "Sorry... " That is all that was said as she continued helping her injured soon to be brother in law out. Applejack was busy with Appleseed who was being fussy. Rarity didn't mind helping Big Mac out because she wasn't afraid of being close to him. She knew she was Applejack's and no other pony could take her away from what she wanted. She was just worried about the future. What was to come if war was declared? Would the future even matter? It had to matter because she was getting married and no stupid dragon was going to stop that.

"So princess... did I save you from the evil dragon?" A sweet and chuckling Pinkie Pie asked the lavender Alicorn nestled close to her.

"Yes... you saved my life Pinkie Pie... but you almost died because of it. How can I live with knowing you would have died for me?" Her tears getting the better of her. She tried to hide her emotions from Celestia when they had talked earlier. Twilight was confused as to who to love. This was the first time she was in love with two ponies and not just using one as a substitute for the other.

She loved Celestia since she could remember but ... she also had a soft spot for Pinkie since meeting her too. She wasn't sure who she should be with but right now Pinkie needed her more and she was content with just snuggling her hero. It wasn't fair to any of the ponies involved especially with a war possibly going to wreck the entire nation of Equestria, it wouldn't matter in the end. Even if she made the right choice for her, the world was going to become dragon owned because of the desires of an evil king who lost his only child.

____________________________________________________________

King Dragunda, The ogre-like king, wasn't in a pleasant mood. He had to have his best hunter executed for failure to retrieve Eligor for the murder of his only son. He could feel the betrayal in his son's heart when he died. The pain of that knowledge incensed the dragon to making a hasty decision of declaring war on all the world.

His knowledge of what truly happened had then calmed him since. He was told of what occurred in Ponyville from Eizchal who had gathered the sentiment from the now deceased Belgar. So with the new information he had a new plan. He was going to get his soldiers in shape and prepare them for the war he was going to officially declare on Equestria itself.

The world would have to wait to suffer his wrath instead he was now focused on one task, the total and unstoppable domination of an entire continent of ponies. He was going to give them an entire year to drum up their best forces, even though secretly it was to increase his own numbers and his own soldiers strength to combat these odd ponies. He didn't know that the two ponies, that were being praised, were just one in a million kind of ponies.

"So we have the command ready I want a messenger sent to Equestria as fast as possible. I want them to know of their impending doom. They have one year till our army storms their nation and kills them all." He shouted across his throne to the servants and messengers alike. "I will send one messenger accompanied by two guards. Don't screw this up. I want your safe return and the message delivered. No matter what it takes if they don't fear us coming they won't be afraid to die and we need them afraid. I want to taste the fear on their bones when I am crunching through it with my teeth." He was bluffing in reality with no good reason he was fearing a loss if they weren't able to have a year for his soldiers to become as powerfuls as the ponies are thought to be. Since when do ponies kick so much ass?

____________________________________________________________

Another week passed by most of the injured ponies now able to continue on with being independent. The ex Wonderbolts were all dong somewhat okay. Mistyfly was seriously injured and was being cared for by Spitfire. Even if the cold hearted ex captain was semi forced with Mistyfly she has grown to enjoy her presence more and more each day.

Soarin now back with his mare-friend Swift Wind, enjoying his life as a taken man. He thought being single and plowing mares was the way to go but when he settled down with Swift it was just easier to manage not being a tool. He was still not able to relax with the worry about what's to come. He wanted to make sure his possible new fiance wouldn't die to some stupid dragons.

Spitfire was at her lover's side taking care of her. Mistyfly was hit really bad and nearly died, with that revelation Spitfire has shown more kindness but still keeps the dom/sub relationship going because it just works better. She has now seen the true terror of what her actions had caused and felt like she damned Equestria all because of her desire to be famed and known.

Big Mac was back to his old self. He wasn't some weakling foal, he was a strong stallion and was already bucking trees again. He was told to rest constantly but ignored the mares that he lived with. He was just being Big Mac.

Rainbow Dash was better now that she was able to kiss the sky with her wings. She had her inaugural flight a while ago and since then hasn't landed. She wanted the sky to know it's goddess has returned and she was going to command it again. She wanted to do a Sonic Rainboom but her wings weren't fully recovered. She opted to just cash a rainboom check.

Pinkie Pie was still a bit hurt and was able to at least get some comfort in being bundled up to her 'friend' Twilight. It wasn't a relationship but they did tend to be intimate with each other. It wasn't full on steamy erotica in their spare time but it was endearing moments. They would eat together and sleep together also they would sometimes bathe together since Pinkie was still somewhat hurt. It felt like they were married almost except they didn't take it to that level of intimacy that would seal their relationship forever.

If they did have some pleasureful tender love making it would mean Twilight made her choice. Since she wasn't ready to do that she was glad that Pinkie wasn't rushing her. "Pinkie... Thanks.. for not forcing me to choose yet... I will make a choice I promise." She snuggled deeper into the embrace of the other mare. "I know it can't be easy for you... and I wish I could just make a decision."

"It's ok silly head... Pinkie loves you forever, and if you decide you can't love PInkie like that then oh well. Pinkie is all about smiles so as long as you smile I will too." Her voice somewhat bright but fatigue and duress were eating at her. "Anyways it's night time let's get some rest.... " She said before she slowly started to suckle on Twilight's ear "Of course we don't have to become lovers if we just rut and not make love." Her tone becoming husky as she slowly captured her would be lover's ear in a frenzied suckle.

Twilight just cursed herself for being in this situation. "I am not sure Pinkie.... but don't stop doing that to my ear." She said with lust brimming from her throat. She wanted it badly... and even if it was just one night of passion it was going to be one hell of a night.

____________________________________________________________

Luna was up at the throne and wasn't in a good mood. Celestia was still up but just being depressed about her role, Luna had a mind to do things to her sister to make her mare up. Though her thoughts weren't always sane. She was in the middle of a discussion with the messenger from Draconia.

"It seems we have finally had enough niceties and we can get on with our intent. I let my guards stay outside since this isn't a threat of invasion. We have officially declared war on Equestria and in one year's time we will take everything you hold precious and crush it right in front of your very eyes.... something about eating souls... defecating on your hearts... yada yada... the list goes on but basically in short... Draconia is now challenging Equestria in one year's time. If we win it means that all ponies have died. There is no winning for you ponies.... something about how your great great grandparents will wish they never conceived the notion of even having kids.... it's a long declaration please forgive me... " The unsure messenger wasn't expecting a tirade to be dictated in front of a mythical deity. "Oh yeah... When we ravage your land we will turn it into a desolate and unforgiving environment and any surviving ponies will be forced to breed as a way of keeping a stock of delicious ponies for pony soup... and it just goes on to state that you will suffer an eternity... of ..." The messenger was shocked. No wonder this scroll weighed a ton... King Dragunda is insane.

Luna wasn't sure whether to laugh at such declarations or be sick about the stuff he was trying to convey in a lengthy and angry promise of annihilation. She stayed silent as if actually taking any stock in words coming from a king who doesn't send them himself. Cowardice wasn't tolerated by Luna... Maybe I should ascend to queen and rule Equestria myself... I could make my sister my servant... in some fancy clothing that show off her form right... and humiliate her each day. Like ... I don't know make her clean my room as I watch..... the hell is wrong with me? Too much steamy romance novels... no more shall I read such travesties.... when I am done reading my latest one that is... I need me a good book after all.

"Also something about your entrails will be tied together and joined as a rope while they hang your leaders... oh that's you I guess... the rest is just that basically.. so you get it right?" He asked rhetorically because if she wasn't that intelligent to figure out after all the time he wasted ensuring the declaration then it was unlikely she was the ruler.

"Yeah... so then in one year your king will make the grave mistake of messing with the goddess of the night and be destroyed for his foolishness... also I will.... I don't have a lengthy retaliation but.... I shall tie his body and have his... genitals removed?" She shrugged as this was new to her.

"Alright then one year it is, I shall see you then and when I do I will rip your soul from your body and make you empty as I ravage your land... you get the rest." The messenger said before walking out.

Luna was surprised at how unequipped she was with emotionally disturbing retorts. She decided since the messenger was leaving she was going to try and cheer her sister up... since she was going to have to give her bad news first. "Oh Tia...." She said almost in a sing-song manner.

____________________________________________________________

All of Equestria was being gathered at various sites while the princess was ready to make her speech. "I am ready now.... use the spell." Her finest unicorns and alicorns were projecting her image and voice as far as it could go to warn all of Equestria about the impending war.

"I, your princess, Celestia have some grave news that I must share with you all. We have been contacted by a hostile nation and was warned that in one year's time we are to be at war with them. Don't fret my little ponies. With this one year we can be prepared. I give you the leader of the newly reformed Wonderbolts... Rainbow Dash." Her plan was almost deceitful but it was necessary.

Rainbow Dash had been contacted by Celestia to speak as a celebrity spokes person for this troubling news. Her plan was to give them hope and since their star and idol was leading the newly reformed Wonderbolts it would be sure to make them all be happy in a time that is surely dreadful. The new Wonderbolts was nothing but a gimmick. There was no shows with them lined up and they were just a military group that was made to combat the forces of the dragon army. It was still filled with the regular members but the costume was just for show. When it came to war time they would all be fitted with Equestrian military gear. The ruse was simple. Still Rainbow Dash had a role to play. She would have to if she was to convince everyone to have hope and prepare for the war.

"I know most of you are glad to see my face. I hope you all are still Rainbow fans... anyways let's get this thing moving along. Sure we are being challenged by a great and powerful enemy. The nation of Draconia have some powerful and destructive soldiers. They are superior to us in strength and are nearly invulnerable to our attacks.... Still we have something they don't... We have heart... as long as we have heart we can't lose. I didn't make it to the top without it. I thought I was able to live free without care. Reality has decided that wasn't true. I just want you all to know that we may have been challenged but we are going to win... I have faith in all of you... that you will all fight your best and help out in any way you can. We are going to fight this war and we shall win... I vow as the leader of the Wonderbolts that I Rainbow Dash will help lead this war to victory. Victory for us... for all of you ... for every pony who ever has lived.. this is our land and we are not giving it to a bunch of stupid dragons... This is Equestria and this is my home , your home... OUR HOME!" That was it... the crowd was wild... she could stop the act and face the facts. In one year's time they land of ponies was going to be a thing of the past.

So keep on reading folks because the next and final story of this series is all action packed and over the top insanity... also lots of feels... *preps the feels cannon*

The End of Peace and the Birth of New Hope

Since the declaration of war on the land of Equestria, Draconia has been training their soldiers even harder. The brutal scars and wounds inflicted while training were getting more severe. The overlord and mighty ogre-like king, Dragunda, was constantly getting filled with rage and having to be pleased by his wife to calm him down.

He hasn't seen enough progress and he was expecting to see some improvement with the news of who they would be facing. He was worried but also determined to destroy the land of ponies. His conquest would leave a graveyard of broken ponies by the time he was done desecrating the land with the blood of his enemies. His poetic rage was filled with sentiments of an angry ruler.

His soldiers have been training double time. They have had less time with family and not much time to have their own intercourse for stress relief. They had to eat less and build up more strength, speed, and accuracy. The chief training dragon in charge of helping the new recruits had to be cruel. He had to continue being vicious even to newbies who were barely hatch-lings.

The end of peace was upon them and their eyes were all glistened with the hope of war to destroy all their enemies. The Draconians were almost eager for this war. They had months to go before the war took place but not one day was spent relaxing if it could be spent training. The children had no time to play, no games or even bonding sessions. All kids who were old enough to fight were busy being trained.

Dragunda held no regard for children, if they were able to hold their own in battle they were recruited to this senseless and world shattering war. The separation of child and mother was horrible but in dragon culture it wasn't as uncommon. Dragons especially draconian ones weren't as close as mammalian families. The children of Draconia grew up much quicker mentally and emotionally than any other creature.

During this time the land of Draconia had become harsh and unkind to any outsider, no more visitors were allowed from any nations and even any visitors who hadn't left before the declaration of war had been announced they were mercilessly executed. The ruthlessness of the citizens had doubled just because the atmosphere was dark and thick with hatred.

A calling of blood and lust had filled Draconia all because of a mad king's fear of a war he can't win. His ignorance and lack of reconnaissance had caused his kingdom to go through a collapse. The darkness spread through and soon it infected his people. They all grew wickedly savage and barbaric. The thought of love or family gone as rage and fury filled the souls of Draconia... whatever land that was against them may their gods or goddesses have mercy on their souls.

____________________________________________________________

Equestria was faring better. They had been setting up encampments and proper training and battle practices were being taught to those who willingly joined. They didn't force anyone to become part of the military but many on their own or inspired by Rainbow Dash, had joined up.

Rainbow Dash's vision from earlier came true. Each of her friends were aiding the struggle by helping those they could with either knowledge, mechanics, wisdom, courage, or insanity. Each time someone felt they were not understanding their task or failing behind her friends were making sure they weren't held back.

Though as the months had passed by Fluttershy had been less mobile as fatigue rose higher. During her pregnancy she had felt the foal kick and they found out the race of the baby. It was going to be a pegasus like it's parents. That made Rainbow Dash happy, and Fluttershy as well. Though she hoped she didn't take too much from Dash as she didn't want a super sonic foal rushing off as a filly. Rainbow hoped she didn't get the rainbow mane, Well I hope she does so she can be awesome, and 20 percent cooler.

Rarity and Applejack had been planning their wedding but decided that for now a small ceremony was alright. They kept it simple and invited their close friends and family. It was a bigger event than they had expected even with trying to keep it small. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy stood close together the whole time, Rarity and Applejack enjoyed the night after the wedding even more, Twilight and Pinkie were dancing close but weren't officially a couple yet. The Apple clan had shown up and enjoyed themselves. It wasn't a bad day after all.

Even with the wedding happening the preparations of war came first. They honeymoon had to wait.

Months passed by more and soon Rainbow Dash while training her new squadron of recruits, was interrupted by a messenger to visit the hospital. The day of her foal's arrival to the world had come. She rushed off to the hospital. She was there for the moment of her foal's birth. She made it in the nick of time and helped be there for her wife and soul-mate. They both held their foal and enjoyed her presence. It was a full family now. Scootaloo had a sister and Fluttershy had a little foal to look after. She was their new hope. She gave Rainbow Dash more of a reason to live, more of a reason to fight. They had decided on a name when their little miracle took her first cry and showed the world she was a fighter, a pony who wouldn't give up, her name would be Hope Star.

She was the inspiration for many, The birth of new life in a world of sorrow and fear. She marked the start of a chance for the survival of the great land of Equestria. With the new life being a bringer of hope and resolve, the ponies worked harder to achieve their goal. They barricaded the entrances to Equestria, they built fortresses to defend and even underground passages and bunkers for the foals, mares, and stallions who weren't participating in the cataclysmic war.

____________________________________________________________

The world was about to suffer a catastrophe, a giant full scale war between two nations was going to lead many lives lost and many homes gone. The land of Equestria and Draconia will spill many blood, soldiers and civilians alike will be the casualties of this unnecessary event.

Even so two sides will destroy each other. While one fights to destroy and conquer, the other fights to protect and defend. The epic show down of these two great nations and it's inhabitants will all take place soon. But that story is for another time. For now peace and tranquility cover the lands as they wait out the last month. One month of rest and relaxation of spending time with loved ones. Romantic entanglements, picnics at the park. Love lost, and love found. This last month was the month they all had been waiting for. It was the ultimate calm before the apocalyptic storm.....

TO BE CONTINUED..........

FlutterDash vs VinTavia The Battle of Egos

The secret base of the Wonderbolts was a nice place for any Pony to be if they wanted to get a serious work out or to have the best spa treatment in all Equestria. Rainbow Dash had a love/hate relationship with the base. It was her home for a while when she started being a Wonderbolt and it was the place Tank died. She wished she could forget all those memories. But now that she had a show coming up she had to practice with the improptu group of Spitfire, Mistyfly, and herself. "You girls, I have a party to get to and I want to take a nice bath with Flutters." She said whining like a foal.

Rainbow Dash had semi retired from being a Wonderbolt. She had all intentions of quitting but Spitfire made her an offer she couldn't refuse. The only problem was that she literally couldn't refuse it. Apparently being party military has it's shares of rules that meant no quitting before contract expires. I don't remember signing a contract anyways... how much things did I end up doing my first few days that I don't remember due to my over enthu..enthusi.. whatever that word is. She hated practicing stunts she could do in her sleep but with Soarin out of the picture. Lucky bastard he has family emergencies and can get time off because he is a veteran Wonderbolt. Apparently after two years of serving you have more lee way. Stupid rules. I hate rules. I want to snuggle with my Flutters. She has no rules. Besides not making messes and do my own dish... I know she isn't a maid but I am the one bringing home the bits... stupid sexy Fluttershy.

Spitfire waved a hoof infront of Rainbow's face "Equestria to Dash, I said you can go home..." she casually leans into dash and whispers into her ear "Before the party I am going to rut MIstyfly but she doesn't even know it yet. I can tell she wants it since we haven't been able to hang out with the addition of you," she leaned back but was still relatively close, "So hang out with your mare and uh I will be at the party. I can bring a date right? I kind of got my eye on this stallion and was wondering if I should invite him to the party?"

Rainbow Dash was sho- no she wasn't shocked she can't be shocked Spitfire wasn't as loose as Rainbow Dash used to be but she got around and she enjoyed a good time with both genders. I could never fall for a stallion, I just can't see myself being a bottom to any Pony and I wouldn't know what to do with a ... blah. "Wait a second .." she started a bit loudly "You are telling me that you will be nailing Mistyfly over there and then bringing some stallion to the party after? I thought I was bad." She said with a chuckle. She was poking fun but didn't expect the retort that followed.

"You were bad, remember those young impressionable twins, you rutted them and then left to some gig with their friend. Then again those groupies were probably wanting to be used." She said while drifting into thought. "So yeah I might bring a stallion or if I feel like having a conscious I will invite Mistyfly instead." She said before walking off and following Mistyfly into the showers. She had to make her move.

Rainbow Dash was shocked. She never remember having a threesome with twins. Damn drugs they made her not remember some hot night... I will never do drugs again. Spitfire's words had kind of put her in a bad mood. She was joking around when she told people she had slept with half the mares in Equestria, she usually boasts about things and exaggerates a bit on details but now she was wondering how many mares had she actually bedded. She knew she was clean of diseases after she had her self checked when being detoxified. Luckily she didn't catch anything from the eager housewives. But it made her feel sick knowing that while she was rampant with lust all over Equestria during her 'Super Star' phase, Fluttershy was keeping herself chaste and only allowed Rainbow Dash passage into the great wall of va... bad joke Rainbow Dash... bad joke.

She flew off to Ponyville with a frown on her face and no idea how to talk about this issue with her lover,confidant and best friend. She was more to Rainbow Dash than anything in the world and yet she had hurt her so much and it was because she was afraid to lose a silly dream when in reality the dream was nothing more than a servitude. She was the people's slut regardless of her being faithful sexually now she had to perform like a whore on demand. While now she had more freedom and chose what shows she would participate in she still had to perform and when the summer ended the academy would be her new job. School was about to start soon for Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash's wedding was coming up in a couple of months. She had too much to do as is and since she moved back to Ponyville they unanimously rehired her as Ponyville's Weather Manager... this time it was more paper work and management then it was being the sole provider of weather for a town of ponies. She couldn't wait to get home and get a massage.

____________________________________________________________

Canterlot is an exquisite town that borders on being a kingdom. It has a castle as it's major attraction. The nobles and select few had the ability to just wander in there. Most had to be invited or have a reason to enter. The town itself was where the elite of the elite lived and enjoyed their time.

One of the elites was none other than the coolest DJ in all Equestria. Her fame rivals that of Rainbow Dash. At one point they used to be good friends but after a drug infused friendship that escalated it ended when Rainbow Dash made out with Vinyl right in front of Octavia. She didn't even ask. She just went for it. and it caused Octavia to get really upset.

Vinyl looked in the mirror all decked out in her famous Sunglasses and her coat all brushed by her softer lover. Octavia was ready with her bow and violin since they were going to perform the duet that Pinky liked. It was a mix of soft sounding music meshed with funky tracks creating a euphoric audio experience for any pony. They agreed to perform since they heard about the tragic event and wanted to do something so it was free of charge.

Vinyl and Pinkie sort of had a good friendship too but Vinyl hadn't seen Pinkie till the restoration of Ponyville. It seemed that Pinkie was locked away for some reason or another. She didn't care about why she was locked up just wished she knew so that she could have done something about it. After all when Pinkie throws a giant bash it is the best giant bash. Ain't no party like a Pinkie Pie party because a Pinkie Pie party don't stop.

Octavia could take Pinkie in doses after all it was her extremely bubbly and 'partytastic' personality that caused the elegant musician to be humiliated at the Grand Galloping Gala that one time. It wasn't like she was too bitter about it. Because after all Octavia met Vinyl through Pinkie. The elegant musician is happy about having her sexy DJ lover. She just wished they didn't have to go to Ponyville thought because of the off chance of running into the egotistical self centered super star Wonderbolt.

____________________________________________________________

Sweet Apple Acres was rebuilt and some trees had been transplanted from Appleloosa to help rejuvenate the apple growing and get the farm up and running. Rainbow Dash spent a considerable amount of money to get the place not only up and running but shiny and brand new. All the equipment and tools were top of the line and everything was replaced that was damaged. In honor of Granny Smith, Rainbow Dash had spent a huge chunk of money making a statue of her as a way to celebrate her as a pony, she did help discover Ponyville and the Zap Apples. She was one of the founders and deserved all recognition. Applejack hugged Rainbow something fierce at the surprise she had payed for.

Tonight Applejack had the distinct 'honor' and 'privilege' of hosting a Cutie Mark Crusader sleep over since the adults of the town were going to be partying hard with cider and good times. She couldn't drink alcoholic beverages anymore. She was not going to allow any harm come to her foal. She wants to be a good mother for it. Whatever gender, or race it is she will love the foal like no mother could. She already had a named planned out. Appleseed.

Fluttershy had already came over and dropped off Scootaloo who was busy playing with Applebloom. Fluttershy looked positively beaming with joy lately. It was like she wasn't even as shy anymore. Maybe that feather brain is doing something good for her. I reckon it has to be somethin' great if they that happy together. Thoughts of her loneliness come through. She wonders why out of all the stallions she has had relationships with it didn't work out. Sure the sex was good but was that all she was good for? Is it because she isn't all frou frou like? Did she have to be Rarity to impress stallions into wanting a long lasting relationship with her?

Rarity was just walking towards her as if on cue or something. She seemed happy and was grinning ear to ear "Darling, your positively glowing. I can't wait to see your precious foal when you have it.. her... him.. bah." She said blushing from embarrassment. She didn't know how to approach a pregnant mare who didn't know the gender of her own foal. Then again it wasn't that late in the pregnancy. "So Applejack are you going to be alright with the Cutie Mark Crusaders... I know they can be a handful. I feel awfully bad that you have to miss out on a party... I have an idea. How about we both skip the party and I can help you with the fillies?" She offered because she knew Big Mac was going to the party and the Crusaders would be hanging with each other leaving Applejack alone. No one should be alone on such a night not even a rough and tumble farm girl. Well she does have beautiful curves and in the right dress with her features accentuated.. she could look... what am I thinking she would be more suited in a work outfit that featured her rigid muscles... all that musculature.. oh darn it she isn't a stallion Rarity keep it together.

"I would be delighted but are ya sure Rarity? I mean the party is sort of yer thing Sugar Cube?" She said in her farm girl accent that would usually make elite ponies think lowly of her but after Rarity had been her friend for so long the accent kind of grew on her. It wasn't so bad after all and she does have that southern charm. I feel so bad that she was used and abused by a stallion. Come to think of it my experiences with stallions were mostly the same. If only good stallions that weren't taken existed and not in fantasy romance novels either. Stupid romance novels. Those kind of stallions don't exist and if they do they usually are into other stallions. Hhmph ... I want romance... I wish Applejack was a stallion, Big Mac is like a stallion version of Applejack but he doesn't have that flare. that charm... that oh my god what am I thinking. Rarity... you like stallions and Applejack is a mare. A gorgeous muscled mare... but still a mare and you are not into them.. well there was that one thing with Spitfire... still even if I was into mares, which I am totally not into them at all, I don't think Applejack would be into them giving the fact she is pregnant. Well maybe she doesn't have to be to enjoy a mare's company in that way I mean after all the stallion to mare ratio in Equestria wasn't really on the up and up. So maybe Applejack would like a frou frou mare to roll around with. Wait what am I thinking I am supposed to be hanging out with her now. Originally I was supposed to go to the party but my friend needs me. And I don't mind being needed by her... Stop it Rarity. Bad girl. I want to be her bad girl.... that's it I am swearing off romance novels for a long, long time. " Yes Applejack... I would love nothing more than to spend some time with you, I mean because we hardly hang out and since that whole thing you know... " she finished nervously. If Applejack was a mind reader she was screwed.

"Thanks Sugar Cube." She said softly and pulled Rarity into a hug that she wanted to resist but just couldn't. I swear Rainbow Dash if I end up being rutted or rutting Applejack I will get you for this. After all it was Spitfire that made me think about mare's in this capacity and I wouldn't have even been at the stupid night club if you just had came to our event we planned for you...stupid sexy Applejack.

____________________________________________________________

Twilight sparkle was getting ready for the party she couldn't wait to go. She had her 'mystery date' ready and was hoping no one got upset at her choice. After all it was her decision. She shouldn't have to get everyone's approval for it. She was a big girl and knew what she was doing. So what if her date may or may not ruin the party, it's not like the party was going to not get ruined anyways right? Something always happens at these kind of things anyways and my date shouldn't have to worry about it.

Twilight kept thinking about all that could go wrong, well if things go sour then we can just spend the night here alone... but what if... oh what do I do... I love Celestia with all my heart and I am starting to fall for that dorky guard.. though Rainbow Dash hates him. I wonder if they knew each other from before or if she really thinks he is lame. Why do I have to have these stupid feelings. I can't let my mystery date know bout the other... if they do know it will be bad.

On one hand the immortal sun Goddess had the hottest flank in all Equestria. The only issue is what sexuality does an immortal sun goddess partake to? Twilight was unsure since Celestia did keep many stallion guards. It could just be because stallions are scientifically been proven to be genetically more superior in strength to mares. Yet Applejack and Rainbow Dash kind of contest that with their 'bad assery' and their 'awesomeness'. Still she hasn't had any stallion personal students that I know of. I just wish love was easy.

On the other hand the royal guard was a stallion and that means they wouldn't need magic to have a foal if things got serious. The only issue is what if Rainbow Dash kills him? I mean Rainbow dash can be pretty self centered though she has changed a lot recently and has been all about Fluttershy. she really is into that soft pegasus. I wonder if Flash Sentry hit on Fluttershy in Cloudsdale or if Flash dated Fluttershy causing the rainbow haired wonder to get all jealous? I mean this can't seriously be just from one encounter. I can understand someone's pride being destroyed when they get defeated in one attack by a mare when being a stallion, but to go as far and attempt a complete arrest for multiple charges based on being humiliated? There had to be more to it she wasn't informed of.

Twilight started pacing around the library while spike looked at her as if she was insane. "Hey twilight... I don't want to tell you what you can do but how about you stop pacing like a mad mare since your messing up my groove." He said trying to dance to prepare for the party "After all tonight is the night I impress Rarity with my dance moves." He started moon walking. "I even got this smooth outfit and I am going to need a mustache. Can you hook me up with one?" He said before he clicked his tongue and pointed at her with a wink.

She was either about to burst into laughter or say something very cruel about his chances with the fashionista. But before anything of the sort could take place a knock was heard on the door. That meant one thing. This mystery date was there. All she had to do now was not make a complete fool of herself and her date in the process. If nothing of the sorts happen then she will have a good night and so will her date.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was accompanying her marefriend and soon to be wife in the tub. It was a bigger tub than Fluttershy was used to and she was still uncomfortable with the new house. "um .. Rainbow.. Are you sure this big house is necessary?" She was not upset by such lavishness but felt it went against her personality of an animal caring plant lover. "I mean... I understand with our growing family and your needs to maintain your shape... but I mean its kind of... big" She said flatly.

Rainbow Dash was unsure of how to answer. She thought she made a smart move to have a new house built where the remains of her tree house remained. The new house was a similar structure just bigger and had some mixture of Rainbow's type of home in it. Though it was mostly a remodel of Fluttershy's home since on the outside it just looked like a giant tree with an insane amount of thickness and on top had what seemed similar to Rainbows old home for an attic. It was horrid but to Rainbow it was home. The canary mare didn't like it much but she was willing to deal with an ugly home if it made her future wife happy. After all they would be in a partnership and when united by bond that means picking and choosing your battles. She used the ugly house to her advantage since she didn't get to pick how big it was or the design she got to keep her animals all of them which meant somewhere in the amalgam house was an angry and impatient bunny. Tons of birds and other critters and holes in the house for the mice. "Listen Flutters I know you aren't into having nice things but... can we just enjoy a nice house especially since you filled it with animals?" She wasn't in the mood for arguing afterall she had her mare in her forelegs and was enjoying a nice water filled tub that was just helping her aching muscles. "Fluttershy my we need to get preened and ready... should have bathed after the preening because... you know..." Fluttershy chuckled.

"Silly Wonderbolt... we have time before the party to get ready... we aren't going to have any kind of 'fun' till after.. you think you can wait all night for me..." She leaned up really close and breathed hotly into the cyan mare's ear "I will make it worth your while my dear, strong, sexy, Wonderbolt." She finished by licking Rainbow Dash's ear earning her a sharp hiss and a face of anger.

"Not cool Fluttershy not cool." She said in mock anger. How dare the mare of my dreams tease me mercilessly just before we head off to a party... what's her game anyways? I love her so much though so I can't stay too mad. I just have to make sure I don't buck this night up with doing something stupid at the part... oh my goodness she is using sex to make me behave. Well played Fluttershy , well played.

____________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie was ready this party was hers. She was going to wow everyone with this party. She had a big budget this time since Dash was being super generous with her vast amount of wealth. I wonder why Dashie is giving away all her money.. is she dying? No... she can't die... Pinkie Pie calm down we can't stop going off the deep end again. I can't wait till my first therapy session Dashie is going to be there so it will be funnerific.

Soon her thoughts were gone as guests started arriving. She noticed all sorts of ponies coming in some of them were familiar faces and others were from the construction crew. Then some Wonderbolts came in without costume. Spitfire and some girl on her side followed suit. Soarin wasn't available to come thanks to his family emergency. Soon more guests followed. Then the DJ came in with her records ready, partner and lover brought her instrument as well ready to make this place full of music. Then a Princess and her mystery date arrived, Pinkie shouted "Knew it" and no one knew why. While most were surprised to see a princess they didn't expect to see... when all of a sudden Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy come in and the alpha mare of Equestria shouts "The fun has arrived."

In retrospect the perfect recipe for a disaster was all in one party. Rainbow Dash walked to the center of the dance floor with Fluttershy in tow. Tonight they planned on having fun. Though the usually naked mare was wearing a shirt that said "taste the rainbow" that pointed down to her mare hood. her Sunglasses on and her mane combed by her marefriend. And an addition to her mane was a bright yellow feather that signified her bond to her lover. Fluttershy was wearing a more elegant affair and blushed by all the eyes that were on them she was wearing her mane styled and a cyan feather was snuggled into it. The onlookers were wearing a mix of "d'awwww" and "the hell does that shirt say?"

Octavia.. was visibly upset seeing that despicable cyan druggie, well ex druggie but Octavia doesn't know that. Vinyl was contemplating whether to warn Dash of Octavia's rage or just watch her marefriend get in a fight. Then again Octavia wouldn't last one round with a super built mare. She used to party with Dash before their friendship collapsed and seen Dash get into plenty fights when drunk or high usually leaving a battered stallion or two on the floor. She was a bad drunk and would even yell at them, as they were knocked out, trying to give them some life lessons. It was a funny sight but knowing Octavia was itching to fight, Vinyl had to do something before her mare ended up in a coma. She wasn't sure how she herself would fair against the athletic Wonderbolt. Still a mare's gotta do what a mare's gotta do.

Fluttershy scanned the room and noticed an angry mare looking at her future wife with a glare. Fluttershy is usually a gentle pegasus but when someone bucks with something she cares about she gets all kinds of mean. Two things about Fluttershy that most ponies don't know. One is she has the ability known as the stare and two is that she can yell with the ferocity of a princess.

Rainbow Dash saw Vinyl and almost wanted to go up to her and apologize and be friends again but something dark next to her was rising from what was her marefriend. She tried to figure out the source of Fluttershy's anger when she noticed Octavia staring in her direction. I guess she isn't happy to see me... still that was month's ago can't she let it go. I hope so.

Pinkie Pie was watching the moment it got tense soon everyone was stepping aside as no one knew what the hell was going on but it looked like a fight as about to break out. Twilight was glad that no one was paying attention to her mystery date, still it bothered her that something like this so early in the night was going to ruin it. Just what did Rainbow do that upset a usually elegant pony like Octavia... Twilight knew it was one of three things. She had sex with her or her lover, she beat her up or her lover, She publicly made out with her or her lover.

The tense moment was almost reaching boiling point. shockingly it was Fluttershy who started the first attack a verbal one. "I can understand my marefriend is hot stuff. But you don't need to stare at her because your's as attractive." She said with an air of "I am right and you are wrong" dictating her statement.

Rainbow Dash knew that this was going to be one of those nights and was hoping that something anything stopped it before it got worst. Unfortunately for Rainbow it got worse. Soon the two mares were in a heated debate. Rainbow Dash and Vinyl decided to hit meet up at the side of the party area of the new Suger Cube Corner. "So I was going to apologize for that night and then this happened." Vinyl chuckled "I was going to forgive you too and now this happened." They looked on as two usually quiet and tame mares were throwing verbal assaults and even insulting each other's marefriends.

"At least mine can keep it in her pants." She said accusingly Octavia wasn't holding back. Fluttershy replied with an icily sharp voice "You are right your's keeps it in her pants because she can't get into yours. Ha Ha." Octavia was furious as her replies weren't able to affect the usually timid mare.

Spike was collecting bets, and Pinkie was being a bookie. This was going to be one hell of a fight. Some pony suggested getting a mud pit before it came to blows. Another wanted them to rip their tops off. Though it wouldnt make a difference since ponies are usually not wearing clothing still the party turned into a pit fight with bets placed.

Rainbow Dash and Vinyl were too cool for a show down. Their fight was taking place on a higher plane of existence. They were ebbing their awesomeness and coolness and their spirits of cool and awesome were duking it out. " So dash did you see the magazine with my picture on the cover? I was featured in Pony Weekly."She said with an air of superiority. Rainbow Dash wasn't going to take that lying down "Well you missed the Equestiran News article about me paying for an entire town to be rebuilt. I also was featured on several other famous magazines for my amazing generosity and the Crystal Empire Rag for my fight with a Royal Guard." The awesome factor was getting too high for the crowd. it wasn't on epic levels yet. But the blows were coming in hard and fast.

The two shouting mares were now muzzle to muzzle. Some stallions in the crowd were hoping they would kiss. One stallion even yelled it. "Kiss ... just kiss already." Two tom colt ponies concurred one scratchy voiced and the other smooth "Yeah Kiss , Kiss... Do it." Soon the crowd was chanting "Kiss, kiss, kiss."

Octavia disgusted by such a suggestion was backing off but Fluttershy stopped her and gave her a kiss right on the lips in a move of dominance. That was it. The fight of the century was over... Fluttershy had beat Octavia and not a soft member was in the house. Wings were flared and Octavia was stunned. Rainbow Dash smiled "Hah we win." Soon the voice of some angry stallions and mares were heard with the sound of bits being Exchanged.

Pinkie Pie was collecting the money and spike and her split the win with those who voted smartly. After the awkward kiss the four ponies who had that really weird and awesome 'battle' decided to just talk it out instead. Fluttershy was nervous and panicking "I am so sorry, Rainbow, I didn't mean to.. oh you must hate me.." She said looking sad as if she hurt Rainbow Dash. Rainbow chuckled "Shy.. you didn't do anything wrong. I was the one shouting kiss out there with them. If I didn't want to you kiss her and shut her snooty ass up I would have just decked her." She said flexing a foreleg. The conversation turned to a much lighter one. Soon they all patched things up and then they all realized something. "Wasn't that princess Celestia with Twilight Sparkle making out in the corner?" They looked but not a single pony was there. Twilight was no where to be found and soon any thoughts that Celestia had been at the party were just rumor at best. "I can't wait to see the look on Flash's face when I.... oh crap I can't tell him. It's a secret... Noooooo!" She cried dramatically into her hoof.

So the party started back up, music was playing and all was back to normal. So it seemed but again fame and reputations almost costed a night of fun. What would have happened had it been someone she had hurt or worse someone who felt betrayed. My past is going to come back and bite me... I got lucky, tonight didn't get ruined by this so called 'battle' and I might get some Flutternooky. But why do I feel that this meeting was more of an omen than something that was going to ruin the night? I mean once Ponies find out the famous Rainbow Dash is now living in Ponyville how many Ponies will suddenly want to move here? I just hope my fame isn't as high as it was in my prime time... I don't need cameras and news ponies wanting to know my every move. Why am I worrying this is Ponyville. So what if the most sought after DJ and Musician were here... maybe it had something to do with Pinkie. All I know is I gotta be more careful now. I am not only taking care of myself which it was fine to be reckless during my 'I only need me' phase, but now I have a family and I can't risk letting anything ruin that. I won't let anything get in the way of my happy future. Being happy and loved is my priority after all being happy is part of being a Wonderbolt.

The Grand Battle at Ponyville

Ponyville was still flooded with a mass of frenzied ponies who were sycophant fans of Rainbow Dash. While most of the town were regular citizens a small part of it was consumed with fanmares and fancolts sleeping in tents in the park waiting for their hero to emerge from her house. They wanted to see her for themselves and wouldn't leave until she came. The tragedy weeks ago was still fresh in their minds and they just wanted some sign that Rainbow Dash was truly alive.

Unaware of the danger approaching the townsfolks go on with their daily lives. Some ponies were at the market shopping others were at their place of work. Some were spouting off about the end of times. It was just an average day in the new Ponyville that was helped made with the rainbow maned pony's money.

Three visitors to the town were being followed by a fourth. The fourth visitor wasn't here to visit anyone just to be entertained. He knew of ways to get that entertainment. He just had to make sure to keep himself in control otherwise it would end all too soon. He couldn't let his one chance at chaos and anarchy be stopped by his over indulgence.

____________________________________________________________

Spitfire, Soarin, and Mistyfly were flying towards Ponyville and heading to visit Rainbow Dash. Even with the recent events that happened, the Wonderbolts were still a team and had that bond. They wanted to see how the rainbow maned super star was recovering. When they arrived in town they noticed tents and guard ponies surrounding the house the celebrity lived in.

"So... what now?" Soarin asked unsure of how to approach the situation. It was like a scene out of a 60's movie and wasn't sure if they even were at the right spot. So many guards keeping the over zealous fans from entering a house. The place literally crawling with protection. Unicorn guards using a barrier to keep sneaky pegasi from flying into the house. It was both secure and disturbing.

"It's like a personal prison to keep the crazies from... wait ... the crazies get locked up not the sane.. what is this nonsense... I can't believe these ponies are acting like this." She said. She was told about a time the timid mare was a fashion model but still Spitfire wasn't able to grasp just how star struck and rabid the crowd was becoming.

Mistyfly was about to say something till she felt a death chill and looked into the sky as it darkened. "Ummm... guys.... I think we have trouble." Her heart thumping hard against her chest. The disturbing image of a draconian dragon just inches above the pegasi was enough to make them all freeze up in fear.

"Hello my little ponies, I am Rahtot and I am bored.... so I chose you three to entertain me and what do you know... you brought me to a town full of ponies just waiting to be slaughtered." He was chuckling wickedly. He was going to enjoy tearing them piece by piece and eating their innards.

"Guys.. Beta formation NOW!" Spitfire roared as they all got into action. The speed of their movements was nothing Rahtot was prepared for. He had only seen one other creature move this fast before and it was a hunter in his kingdom known as Belgar. He thought of how much Belgar was praised for his extreme speed and his superior hunting skills. It bothered him since he was a slow but powerful dragon himself.

" So it seems you wish to fight me... just like those dragons did before you... it won't end well but I will honor your conviction.. now prepare for your death as it will be glorious." He said as he started to flap his massive wings hard. His wing force caused gusts of wind to push the ponies back and get them off guard. He was already about to eat Mistyfly with one full chomp when he was stopped by something.

"Who dare cast magic at me... you are going to die Unicorn... with wings?" He never seen such creature but heard of them.. alicorns magical ponies with wings and a horn able to do great feats of magic. This lavender one had picked the wrong day to play hero and she wouldn't be able to learn of her mistake after he was done annihilating her.

"You don't belong here.... leave now and I will spare your life.. I am princess Twilight Sparkle and I am not afraid to take you out.. " She said with false bravado, she was trying to bluff her way out of this mess she got in. She was going to visit Rainbow Dash when she noticed the sun being clouded by something. It was the entity in front of her flying above her with an evil look in his eye.

"You think you can stop me? I will tear you apart and use your bones to pick at my teeth you insolent pony." He roared out and started flying towards her at moderate speed. Even if he couldn't fly fast he was a great flier.

Twilight wasn't able to use any magic that would affect the dragon as long as his armor was in tact she had used a considerable amount of energy just phasing him. She had only one option and that was to fly.

"Running away are we... what happened to your courage and willingness to do battle... you wound me with your mock charisma and now you are fleeing. Pathetic pony... I shall devour you... and make you suffer while I digest you. I will slaughter all your citizens and while I do know it was your cowardice that caused it." His voice was of rage but his tone was peircing her soul.

She was feeling weak. Her body was slowly giving into the emotional torment of the Draconian's words. "Fine I will fight you... but prepare yourself for I will rain hell upon you." She said with as much determination as she could as she made her horn glow. She was trying to cast a destructive spell but the fear was over taking her. She waited for certain doom to come but it never arrived.

"No one hurts MY PRINCESS," came the voice of the pink pony who just saved Twilight's life. Pinkie Pie was equipped in ancient medieval armor with a lance and shield that some how she had this whole time but not in an obvious spot ... because that is just how Pinkie Pie rolls. Her lance had hit the soft underbelly of Rahtot momentarily stunning him as he felt his blood spill.

Never has any creature even dare attack him and those that did never could get close enough to harm him. Now his blood was spilling out and he was roaring in pain. "You.... I shall crush you like a bug." He roared towards Pinkie who had fire in her eyes.

"Oh yeah... Well I will... Lance...a... lot." She started giggling at her own joke. "I said Lancelot. Get it?" She was rolling around on the roof laughing while the dragon annoyed was about to unleash a hell storm of fire. She saw this and put her shield up like a true bad ass as the flames just stopped and spread out against the shield. "Your breath is hot!" She said with a giggle. She was just infuriating him more but also was making him lose his nerve.

"You dare mock me you insignificant worm... I shall show you my wrath and nothing will stop me. He was about to dive bomb on top of the building until he himself was tackled out of the sky by an even more imposing figure.

"Rahtot... I finally find you.. and I see you are being destroyed by a pink pony... so weak and yet you are the prince?" He said while flying over the bigger dragon who had just been knocked on the ground causing a small crater and panicking ponies to flee from the battle.

"Belgar.. you traitor why did you attack me instead of the pony?" He asked incredulously. He was going to blow a gasket with the amount of anger he was harboring for everything around him.

"You idiot... she had a lance ready at her side to jab it in your heart... I guess you weren't paying attention were you?" He said while pointing to the awkwardly menacing and adorable Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie just looked up at them both. "So we doing this? Because this is superific and funnertatstic" she said while moving one hoof back and forth while moving in a jumping motion. She wasn't taking it seriously because well she is Pinkie Pie and doesn't have to. She had abilities beyond the normal ponies even able to break the dimensional wall of the 4th kind.

"You are being made a fool of Rahtot... you let a small pink pony make you look weak and pathetic... I wonder why your father even bothers wanting you back in his kingdom when you can barely do anything impressive." Belgar spoke with such disgust towards the royal family.

"You dare mock me as she does... you both will pay.. I will rip both your hides and devou-" he was going to say his usual line but was interrupted.

"My soul? Seriously... you are so weak and useless. If your father the orge-like dragon king wasn't the ruler you think you would have survived past infancy? You would have been slaughtered already... and since this land isn't Draconia... I can kill you and just blame it on the ponies." Belgar said with sudden revelation. He was going to enact his plan. Before doing so he wanted to know if Pinkie Pie was the pony responsible for the death of Eligor. "Before I kill that weakling prince, was it you who killed Eligor?" He asked with curiosity dripping from his mouth.

"Who the what now?" she asked while rubbing her chin. She wasn't sure who Eligor was but didn't remember killing him in her delusions or in real life. "Nope can't say I have" She said while shrugging her shoulders.

"Fine then I will search for the weapon after I rid myself of this waste. Good bye Rahtot and may you never be rehatched again." He said before swooping down over the prince who was getting up. The hunter wasted no time in punching his fist through the soft underbelly of the dragon and ripping out his heart while it still beats. It was sickening to watch as the townsfolk who were not running in fear were covering their eyes.

Twilight looked shocked "He was your prince... how could you just kill him?" She asked unsure of why someone would murder their ruler. "Do you not have any respect for your rulers? Is that what kind of world you live in?" She was pushing the wrong dragon's buttons. "I ... I have no respect for you... you are the lowest of lows." She said before forgetting just what she was ranting to. Great going twilight you just pissed off a dragon who killed the dragon that you couldn't fight off.

"You just signed your own death certificate pony..." He was about to lunge at her before he felt a sharp pain in one of his eyes. he felt blood drip out of his injured socket and saw the reason he was injured. "You... you stupid little pony...." He roared and bellowed in rage as he saw Pinkie Pie with out her lance as it was thrown at his face like a projectile. She was laughing at him and calling him pirate joe as if it was appropriate. "You have just doomed your entire town I hope it was worth it." He said before crashing into the building at fast speeds and sending the pink pony soaring into the sky from the impact.

"Pinkie... No!" Twilight yelled as she burst into the sky using what magic she had in her left to enhance her speed as she caught the pink pony and made sure she was alive. Before she could react there was a crushing blow to her side as she was back handed by the mighty speedster dragon.

____________________________________________________________

The ex Wonderbolts used the opportunity to form a plan and they sprung into action... they were going to use the alpha strategy and try to take down a super dragon, they had no official title for it since they were removed from the need to know basis after their shameful disbanding.

"Alright Soarin you get the sides and deliver powerful kicks... Mistyfly you use your speed to direct him away and I will be the one landing dive bomb attacks on him. We can do this... we don't always need Rainbow Dash to do our jobs." She said before they broke up into formation.

Rainbow Dash had the worse part in the formation of being in the danger zone but Spitfire needed to be able to land hits on this thing... she may not be as fast or powerful as the ex rookie but she was determined and capable.

Belgar was in no mood for games and he instantly swiped down Mistyfly cutting her a bit with his claw. It wasn't a fatal cut but he was going for speed not accuracy he jerked his body to knee the other wonderbolt sending him soaring into the sky. He was just about finished ending the three ex Wonderbolts when a hoof landed in his undergut and sent him back a bit stunned from the delivery of a powerful blow. "What the..." he got out as he noticed Spitfire had landed a good one on him. He immediately recoiled by tail lashing her the whip lacerated her body and sent her reeling from such force.

"Are we done playing this silly game... I am too powerful and fast for you ponies... I would stay and rip you all apart but I am afraid I must get going now.. I have a weapon to find..." He said and just before he could make an exit. Something with an evil voice was bellowing at him.

"You are trying to run away while pretending to be superior?" The voice belonged to a mad god of chaos who was giving an evil look off as his eyes starting glowing a furious red and his visage shifted from a comical entity to a nightmarish looking monstrosity.

Belgar knew of only one creature who could become this horrid "Draconquus."

____________________________________________________________

King Dragunda was lurching in agony. "What happened.... my heart feels as if it was stabbed.. my son... has he? Something happened to my son... I will rip the soul out of the very fool who dare kill my son... It was either Eligor or Belgar.... which one of them has betrayed me... I will find out." He was livid.. he felt such anger and sorrow. "I want a battalion ready and I want my soldiers prepared for dealing with whoever returns. I will spill their blood and when I am done I will wage war across the world... I will spill every creature's blood and declare this world in the name of King Dragunda the grand dragon of Draconia." He roared and bellowed with a terrifying boom.

With this new idea his kingdom was now preparing for an all out war against the entire world. They knew nothing could stop them. While the world grew weak from peace the Draconians have been practicing and training each day. The weak were mercilessly executed and the strong gained respect. This is how they lived and died.

Draconia was now a force to be reckoned with while the rest of the world was slowly creating their own doom by living in peace. It was high time the world learned to not trust peace or treaties. When tyrants desire more they will do what it takes to gain more. The harrowing of the end of times was coming. Soon Equestria and the whole world would be decimated by the might of the Draconian army.

All because of the traitorous actions of one Dragon.

____________________________________________________________

Discord in his true form was using a darker and demonic voice while challenging the much more experienced combatant. "You are in my home town. Equestria is Discord's territory... only I shall wreak havoc against the ponies and only I shall slay them. You are to leave and never return or die... I chose already for you... I hope you don't mind but your fate is.. death." He said while shooting towards him with his enlarged body and sharp claws he was ready to rip through his enemy.

Back in the olden days before Celestia and Luna were able to stop him. Discord had a mighty form. He was literally the embodiment of chaos and since his form was horrific when Celestia had turned him to stone she shifted his visage to one less menacing. It wasn't out of disrespect but to reduce the fear of the passerby's who would glance at him in the gardens. The true form of Discord was grim looking his voice was disturbing and his penchant for anarchy was at an all time high.

Now that Celestia fears a war coming true she had unleashed the seal she had on him and allowed him his full power. Even now with it he wasn't a match for a combatant like Belgar but with intimidation on his side he could hold out a pretty decent fight. "Lesson one... never mess with Discord." He said while glancing his opponent with his clawed hand. His mirth was just bluffing in disguise. He knew he couldn't out brawl a Draconian and was relying on his mysticism to aide him in combat.

"Is that all you got Draconquus. I shall rip you apart and end your anarchy." He sped up and tackled the mad god and knocked him into the ground and lunged at him just to see him disappear and re appear above him.

"Tsk tsk tsk... when will you learn." He said with an evil laugh. He wasn't going to go down that easily.. Still it was a close one.. I almost died right there. I know I should be more careful but... if I can't stall out I will let this dragon return home and he will surely blame Equestria for the death of the dragon lying on the ground there... if he does that Fluttershy will die.

____________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash could hear the fight happening outside. The usually loud raucous of the fans died as they all had ran off and scattered the guards had fled too. She was keeping her family close to her. "Just hold on guys.. if we die we die together." She said while they all were sticking close bye. They knew something terrible was happening and she was too powerless to do anything. It angered her completely. If only she could recover some how... I need to get out there... I need to fight.. think think think... Loyalty... my element... it helped me before why won't you help me now... Heal me and let me fight I need to be out there... I need to make sure no pony dies because of some mistake I caused.

If this were a fantasy world in which wishing to be healed made it so she would have had her victory but reality dictates she needs to recover naturally since the magic in her system was still aiding her. She could walk a bit and hover.. but she wasn't able to take off or fight. It was maddening being inside a house cowardly with her family and yet not able to fight out there while Celestia knows what is going on.

She wished she was able to find some quicker way to heal... she needed to go out there and fight... and win... it was her destiny to win her cutie mark came the day she won that race and made that Sonic Rainboom. For now she had to hope that others could do what it took to win with out her since she wasn't able to win the day herself.

____________________________________________________________

Rarity and Applejack had decided to stay in the farm with Appleseed. Big Mac was already running out there to see what was going on and if he could help. He felt like it was his duty to be the stallion around this damn place. He wanted to be useful for once instead of just some farm pony. He had magnificent strength and a resilient body.

If it wasn't to attack maybe he could defend. His body could take some blows at least. He wasn't sure what was the awful noises but felt he had to try and help the town before it fell apart again.

____________________________________________________________

Discord was feeling the effects of reverting to his true form as it was causing him to slowly lose his sanity. He was sure if he kept this up he would lose his mind. "Let's stop playing around and end this... you will die now and I will claim back my land from you Belgar." He said while slamming himself into the other dragon at break neck speed. It was enough to momentarily stun him but not enough to even warrant enough time to dodge his counter attack.

Belgar slammed his tail into the side of the Draconquus and knocked him into another building. It was funny to see such a mighty creature fall. He wanted to lunch at him and tear his guts out but something slammed itself into his leg and caused it to sprain on impact. He roared out in pain as the leg was becoming inflamed from the internal damage. The force of impact needed to do such a thing must have come from a train or something. He noticed a red stallion looking pretty proud of himself. "You .... What is this? Why is it when I defeat one of you pathetic ponies another one comes from the wood works?" He was about to lunge himself and slit open Big Mac's neck with his claw when again something dare to attack him.

"Don't you count me out you big stupid meanie head." Said the very brave and foolish Pinkie Pie. She had a party cannon that was shooting exploding cakes from it. "I guess you can say... you take the cake." She said while shooting off her canon and pelting her enemy with exploding delicious treats.

"What madness is this." He was shielding his face from the offending dessert while his anger and confusion grew. Is this what Draconia will be facing? Some unending barrage of insanity and ponies? I must warn Dragunda... this isn't going to end well if he doesn't learn about this new information. "Well as fun as this was I am going to have to go... but before I do." His eyes started glowing pure white as he rushed towards the red stallion and sent him flying, he quickly used his momentum to tail slap the the pink pony and break off her armor as she was sent back into the sky... he then rushed to Discord and went for a death blow but found the area where he crashed landed empty and just flew off in rage. "I will come back and when I do it will be with an entire army of Draconians. We will wipe out all of Eqeustria... and your weapon can't save you from our destruction." He said gloating before flying off heading home.

Ponyville looked as if it was hit with a truck. The towns floors were smashed and cratered. Some buildings were destroyed and worse of all in the seemingly quick battle some ponies were gravely injured and some fatally wounded. The scene was from a nightmare. The ponies now glad the enemy was gone but fearing his words.

Discord was fading into his comedic form and was cursing his eagerness to win. He coughed out blood and knew his time on this world will be ending ... "It took this long and now it starts... I will try and hold off as long as I can before I let myself die.. I will be the stuff of legends before I allow myself to die... " He said to no one in particular as he hoped his risky move somehow paid off.
