From the Beginning

From the Beginning

As Rainbow Dash looked out into the sunset, she heard the Wonderbolts flying around her. It was everything she could ever ask for. They flew so majestically. Whoosh! Zip! She was the happiest she could’ve ever been. Too bad it was just a made-up story. As her friends asked her about her adventures in Cloudsdale and how much fun she has being a Pegasus and all, Rainbow Dash was becoming overwhelmed! She didn’t know what to say! She didn’t want to tell her friends the truth but she also didn’t want to lie to them.
“What’s it like flying so high up in the air?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“What’s your favorite part about flying?” asked Rarity.

So many questions! Rainbow Dash couldn’t hold it in anymore. If she said one more word, the entire story, the real story, would pop out of her snout. She didn’t know what to do so she just stood up on her hooves and flew out the window!
“What have I done?” Rainbow Dash said to herself as she flew away as fast as she could. She knows of this one cave on the water called Paradise Cove. No other pony has ever gone in there. They don’t know what’s inside, so they decided to just play it safe and not go in at all.

Rainbow Dash had a different idea. She knew that she was one of the fastest flyers in Ponyville even though she didn’t want to be. So as she flew inside, she saw absolutely nothing. She didn’t bother to tell anyone else about or how it was safe because she wanted a place that she could have to herself. A place where she could just sit there and think about her life if she had the personality she wanted. She doesn’t know how she got cursed with the cutie mark she has. She would do anything to get that changed. She really wants to be…well; we’ll get into that in more detail later.

So as I was saying, Paradise Cove is totally private, unless someone else has the guts like Dash to go in that supposedly deserted cave. As Dash was trying to think of herself in somepony else's position, she got interrupted by a strange noise. Bloop. Bloop. Bloop. She kept hearing that sound over and over and over again. She said there for 20 minutes listening to that annoying, bloop.

Rainbow Dash had had enough! She flew out of the cave and found that the blooping noise was drool dripping from the top of the cave and onto the ground. There was another pony! They weren’t exactly in the cave but they were on top of it!
How long had they been there? Do they know that I’m here? Rainbow Dash kept repeating this questions to herself until she realized something else. Is this pony spying on me?

She didn’t want to find out the answer to that question. Are they dangerous? Are they a spy trying to plot her every move? Were planning a harmful plan against Rainbow Dash? She didn’t want to find the answers to those questions either. She just wished that she could sit in that cave and not have to worry about another pony finding her because they didn’t have the guts like her.

Dash didn’t feel safe there anymore so she flew away. She just kept flying. She eventually thought to go to Twilight’s house to look at a book about Paradise Cove. There had to be something that she could read that could help her through her dilemma.
“Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I don’t think I have anything on Paradise Cove. Not a lot of ponies know about the topic anyways so there wouldn’t be too many books about it. But feel free to look around if you like,” said Twilight Sparkle with a grin.

Rainbow Dash didn’t know where else to go. So she decided to do something in her spare time which definitely is not now. But we don’t need to talk about that right this second.

Rainbow Dash decided to go all over Ponyville for at least one pony that knew anything about Paradise Cove. She finally reached one pony. Her name was Mystical Grant. She was a beautiful pony. She was a butterscotch color. She had these glowing green eyes that glowed brighter than the sun on the hottest day in history. Her mane and tail were an exotic sea color. She just looked so beautiful. She was loved by everypony in Ponyville. Except Rainbow Dash. This was Dash’s first time ever seeing her.

As Mystical Grant, or as she likes to be called, Mysty, introduced herself, Rainbow Dash wasn't paying attention one bit. She was too caught up in her beautiful limish color eyes.
“Earth to Rainbow Dash!” exclaimed Mysty. “Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! RAINBOW DASH!”

Mysty screamed Dash’s name as loud as she possibly could and Rainbow Dash finally came back from whatever dimension she was stuck in.
“Wha? Where? When? I’m confused,” said Rainbow Dash.
‘’Well, let’s continue,” said Mysty a bit impatiently.
“So I don’t exactly know how to start off this story. Wait, what were you asking about again?” Mysty said confusedly.
“About Paradise Cove, remember?” responded Rainbow Dash.
“Oh yeah. Right,” said Mysty. “So 3 years ago, my brother, Mystique Grant, and I went to go explore Paradise Cove to see what was in there. We didn’t know what we were getting into at all. We saw this giant stack of diamonds and gold and treasure! It was so shiny and so irresistible! Mystique was so happy that he couln’t hold it in any longer. So he tried to make an echo but it was really loud and woke up this really big dragon. He name was Zizzo or Zezzo or something like that. But the dragon roared and the cave started falling apart.”
So that’s why the cracks in the cave look so unnatural. They aren’t natural! Rainbow Dash thought to herself while Mysty was continuing the story.
“So the rocks started falling,” Mysty continued. “And my brother and I kind of split apart and a piece of debris fell on him and I haven’t seen him since. I really do miss him. He was more best friend than sibling.”
“I am so sorry for your loss,” said Rainbow Dash sympathetically.

Rainbow Dash had this sad look on her face as she left the house. What a tragedy! Imagine losing your brother in a cave you have never been in before all because of a dragon? What happened to the dragon anyways? Eh, oh well. That was 3 years ago. It doesn’t really matter to anypony now.

To get her mind off of things, Rainbow Dash decided to stop by Pinkie Pie and make some cupcakes. She has tried this before but it hadn’t ended well. A bunch of ponies had eaten them and then gotten sick! She doesn’t want that to happen again. Nopony would ever forget about it!
“Pinkie Pie? Pinkie Pie? Pinkie Pie, where are you?” asked Rainbow Dash curiously. As Rainbow Dash was looking, Pinkie jumped down from the ceiling and scared Dash so bad that her heart skipped a beat!
“Pinkie, what are you doing up there?” Rainbow Dash asked with a surprised face.
“I don’t know. It’s fun to try something new everyday,” said Pinkie. “So, why are you here, Dash?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to bake some cupcakes together? I just need to get my mind off things.”
“Of course!” Pinkie Pie responded excitedly.
“Let’s go!” said Rainbow Dash.
As they both walked into the kitchen, Rainbow Dash noticed that all of the baking supplies were all out on the table. But why? Was she expecting Rainbow Dash? Or was she expecting somepony else who never came and just decided to do it with Dash instead? Huh. Questions. Questions.
“So what kind of cupcakes are we baking?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“I don’t know. I was thinking of doing the red velvet with the caramel in the middle, your favorite,” responded Pinkie Pie excitedly.
“Perfect!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
“I already have all the ingredients out so let’s dig right in! You’re not afraid to get your hooves dirty, right? Oh wait. You’re Rainbow Dash and all Rainbow Dash is afraid of is not trying her hardest to fly the fastest!”
“Yeah!” Rainbow Dash said a lot less enthusiastically. She feels so bad having to lie to all of her friends. But if she tells them all know, they won’t want to be her friends anymore. But if she doesn’t, she has to face the risk of letting the secret out while lying about the secret. Ugh! So confusing and so much work! No wonder Rainbow Dash isn’t enthusiastic about what Pinkie just said.
*Two hours later*
“Oh my gosh! What did you do! I left to go to the bathroom for 2 seconds and you destroyed my kitchen while I was gone! I thought that we were friends! Friends don’t do that! You are the worst friend ever! GET OUT!” Pinkie Pie said with anger in her voice.
“I’m so sor-“ Rainbow Dash got cut off before she could finish her sentence.
“NO sorries or buts her, Rainbow Dash. You have gone too far this time. You did it the last 3 times you were here as well! But you didn’t destroy my kitchen those times, did you? GET OUT!” You could really tell that Pinkie Pie was mad now. Actually, she wasn’t mad at all. She was furious! She was so furious at Rainbow Dash, words couldn’t explain how furious she was.

Rainbow Dash felt so bad for her wrongs. She wishes that she could take all of it back. Go back in time to when Pinkie was going to the bathroom and the kitchen wasn’t destroyed. She shouldn’t have tried to help. See where that got her?

Rainbow Dash didn’t know what to do with herself anymore. She just felt like sitting in Paradise Cove and being all by herself. But Paradise Cove isn’t safe anymore. That pony that was drooling of the top of the cave, was her dangerous or harmless? It’s so hard to tell in today’s world. You just never know.

As Rainbow Dash was sitting alone somewhere in Ponyville, she recognized the voice that was calling her name. It was Scootaloo! Rainbow Dash is Scootaloo’s idol! Scootaloo wishes to one day be as good a flyer as Rainbow Dash.
“Hey, Dash!” exclaimed Scootaloo excitedly.
“Hey, Scootaloo. How’s it going?’’ Rainbow Dash asked sadly.
“Why are you sad, Dash? You can’t be sad. If you’re sad, then I’m sad. Do you really want that?” asked Scootaloo persuasively.
“Can you please go away? I want to be alone right now,” said Rainbow Dash.
“Fine. See you around,” said Scootaloo.

Sitting unhappily by herself, Rainbow Dash decided that she didn’t need some private place to think about her real passion and dream that it was her cutie mark. So she decided to do it right now.
Just think. It’s just like dreaming in Paradise Cove before it became possibly harmful. But that is no biggie. Let’s do this already! Rainbow Dash thought to herself. Rainbow Dash just wanted to be in her perfect world where she could be anything she wanted to be.

As Rainbow Dash had fallen asleep on the sidewalk, Apple Jack found her. She was wondering what she was doing out on the sidewalk all by herself. What had she been doing out here?
“Rainbow Dash? Rainbow Dash? RAINBOW DASH!” exclaimed Apple Jack impatiently growing tired of waiting.

It seemed like a lot of ponies had been screaming her name lately. Had she really fallen into that deep a sleep and had been hypnotized that deep as well? Rainbow Dash wondered what was happening to her. Something was wrong with Rainbow Dash. She felt weird. She didn’t know what to do with herself. She was different. WAY different.
