From rainbows to dull grey. From lively to nothing more than ashes. What's the secret to staying happy? Or is it impossible and someponies are doomed to leave the world very early?

All it takes is a dream to change a destiny entirely.

This is the story of Rainbow Dash as she struggles through hard times, trying to maintain her friendship and understanding her feelings for others.

I am not good at descriptions, so read if you want to find out if this story is worth anything. Also, I'm not gonna say "pleez be gentle, ma first story". I'm welcoming any kind of comments as long as they're not too offensive and hope I'll get better at writing stories :)

Prologue: A dream

“Will ya stop, please?” An angry filly breathed a little faster than normal and trying not to lash out.

“Oh, poor Rainbow crash!” A foal mocked

“If I didn’t know better, I would say she is sick and so unnatural. What a fool of a filly she is, ugh!”   Another filly scoffed.

“All right, either you stop it right here and now, or-

“Or what? You’re gonna go and make a fountain of tears for your parents?” The foal emphasized the last word. After that Dash couldn’t hold her feelings anymore and hit the bully in the face with full force and anger that had built up. The foal didn’t see it coming and a few drops of blood scattered across his face. He got very angry and a frighteningly evil grin set on his face. The foal simply raised a hoof and hit Rainbow casually, but painstakingly, bone-hurting.

Chapter 1: Little Chaos

Rainbow woke up.  Realizing where she was, she calmed down and tried to get so sleep as, but she couldn’t – she had feeling like she forgot something, someone or, opposite, did too much of something. Either way, she couldn’t fall asleep. No matter how hard she tried to brush her worries away. Finally tired from the nightmare and the unnecessary worries, she fell back into the dreaming world.

As the morning came, Rainbow forgot the uneasy night and thought of things she should and could go and do. As always in such a time of spring, the weather forecast wasn’t hard to follow. Just put up some clouds over here and there and she was sure her team could handle the rest of Ponyville as she got the clouds needed over the Sweet Apple Acres. There was something about the farm that made her come back as often as possible and she couldn’t say what it was, she was unsure herself. Maybe it was the family that she liked, with the caring Applejack, the strong Big Mac, the little filly always wanting to help with whatever she could, Applebloom, and Granny Smith, who always had a story to tell. Maybe it was the wide fields filled with apple trees, a lake and the view into the hills and meadows of area surrounding Ponyville. Maybe it was because she didn’t have much of a family, maybe she liked wide fields who associated with freedom for her. She didn’t know why, but she was happy that she could be there and enjoy it.

As Applejack started bucking the apple trees, she remembered that she promised to help Fluttershy get better at flying. At least both of them hoped it would. As she panicked and flew at an alarmingly fast rate towards the other end of Ponyville as she hoped that Fluttershy wouldn’t get angry because Rainbow was late. She knew the animal caretaker wouldn’t, but she thought of it because her mind was a little chaos at that moment.

Suddenly, when she was only at the edge of the town square, she felt her body suddenly being weighted down strongly and crashing into the ground.

Little Chaos 2

When she recovered from the huge impact, she tried to move, only to find out that there was a strong force field around her and only let her move very little. When she tried to understand what was going, besides all the ponies that were nearby and now were confusingly looking at her and whispering she saw what crashed her and who made the force field. She saw two pegasi and two unicorns, all looking quite similar, and her eyes widened as she understood why they all looked so similar – they all wore the same armor and they were a part of Royal Guard. She was shocked, confused and in disbelief because very few unicorns worked in the Royal Guard and they barely did anything out of protecting Princess, making strategies and consulting the Princess and it seemed that her captors weren't going to be friendly, not at least to her. Then she bowed as Princess Celestia landed in front of her. One of the pegasi reported in:

“Suspect caught and brought down as she was fleeing. Maintained her and are ready to move her to the Eqestria jail.” Jail? Wha- the thunder clouds is happening here? Rainbow’s mind raced as she tried to understand what had she done so wrong to go to jail. It’s impossible!

“I didn’t do anything!” Rainbow shouted out in a louder voice than she would have liked in front of the princess. Celestia stepped closer to her and said, trying to hide her mixed feelings:

“Well, I’m sorry to say that, but you are under arrest as a possible threat to society as a possible killer”

“I may be a killer because there’s a possibility or what? What the hay are you sayi- She was cut off by Celestia:

“I’m sorry, but please remain calm. I know you are the Element of Loyalty and you wouldn’t do something like that, but right now Spitfire is in a terrible shape, she said your name over and over as she was brought to the ER and in her house there were your personal items. I’m sorry, but I have to at least question you.” Celestia said with a cracking voice as she tried not to give in and make the wrong decision. Then Rainbow hid her tear-filled face in her hooves as she heard the familiar voice of the bookworm who always had good advice when anybody needed help:

“Princess, what happened here? Rain…b-bow?” she asked with a quiver in her voice. Another familiar voice spoke, Rainbow on the verge of crying, which was really unlike of her, mostly be she didn’t want her friends to see her like this.

“Release her you sad faces!” came the shouting of Pinkie Pie and she charged straight into the force field in which Rainbow was kept, but to no avail, as halfway one of the unicorns just blew Pinkie softly, but far away, to the other side of the city square, like it was really easy like levitating something or lighting a candle.

“Twilight Sparkle, - Celestia exhaled slowly – I honestly don’t know, I hope that it’s not like that, but your friend Rainbow Dash might have done some really bad things. But I hope that’s not the case. Guards, return to Canterlot with me. There is nothing more that we can do here.” A Royal guard unicorn zapped her, then the unicorns teleported while Celestia flew off with the other two guards and Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy was trotting near the outskirts of Ponyville when she saw Rainbow Dash flying off with two guards and Celestia. Fluttershy didn’t think it was something bad, but she saw the friend’s tiredness as they flew by her.

“Oh my, I wonder what happened.” Suddenly Twilight appeared in front of Fluttershy, said really quickly and with a look of concern on her face:

“Flutter, thank Celestia and Luna I found you, you need to come to Sugarcube Corner!”

“Is it about Dash? I hope she is alright.”

“We might need to wait to know…” Twilight sighed and teleported to get other friends as Fluttershy quickened her pace.
