A shattered rainbow

"Hey dad, mom! Look at these awesome tricks I can do!" Rainbow Dash shouted above her parents outside the shops on CloudsDale. Her mom just sighed and her dad puffed out a cloud of steam.

"Yes, very good dear," Rainbow's mom replied, as Rainbow span and zipped all over the place.

Dash could tell that her parents weren't the slightest bit interested. She frowned and decided to amaze her stubborn parents with her best trick of all. The Sonic Rainboom.

Rainbow zoomed up into the sky, disappearing out of sight. Then in three seconds she reappeared, zipping straight towards her parents. Then the sound barrier was broken as Rainbow almost reached the outside of the shops in where her parents stood. But then she jumped and lost concentration as her parents shouted up to her.

"STOP RAINBOW, STOP!" They yelled as Rainbow tried to pause her awesome trick but wasn't quick enough. She whammed right into the cloud floor, the impact so hard that she fell straight through it.

"RAINBOW!" Her mom cried as her dad flew into the hole that Dash had left and he zoomed after his falling daughter. He gripped hold of his daughter and zipped back up through the hole, landing next to Dashie's mom. Dashie opened up her eyes as her dad tilted his body to the side so that she fell onto the cloudy floor.

"YOU STUPID IDIOT RAINBOW! YOU SCARED YOUR MOM SICK TO DEATH BY FALLING LIKE THAT!"

"B-but you made me ju-"

RIGHT, THAT'S IT! WE ARE NOW RE-HOMING YOU! All you do is brag about your silly little tricks when they can put you into serious danger!"

"Don't worry I-"

"SHUT UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT! The instant we get indoors you are packing your bags young lady! We can't handle a little brat like you!" Dashie's father yelled.

Rainbow sobbed her heart out on the way home, shattered. Her mom felt a bit sorry for her daughter but she knew that she would only make her husband even angrier.

"Don't turn on the waterworks, you baby. I thought you were tough, like your o'l dad but unfortunately me and your mom brought up a horrifying beast!" Rainbow's father shouted as he hit his daughter right on her forehead, causing her to fall once again. Rainbow only wept even more as she stood up and noticed that they had finally reached their house, her legs shaking like a plate of jelly.

"Right, pack your germs! Baby cloths, baby toys, a baby cuddle blanket-"

"S-shut up! I-I-I HATE Y-YOU!" Rainbow screamed, even more tears flowing down her cheeks. She turned around and flew off, opposite her house.

Rainbow carried on flying, sniffling her last tears as they dried up underneath her burning red eyes. She had no idea on where to go, she just knew that she had to get away from her horrible parents that wanted to send her away. Her parents...hated her. Rainbow wanted to cry even more but her eyes were still burning with pain from crying so much. She didn't brag that much and even if she did, her parents could of tried to stop her from doing so. Actually they did but in a horrid way. Parents should love and forgive their children not shout and hit them, Rainbow thought.

Her wings started to ache and she grew very tired. She glanced around, trying to spot a place to rest for a little bit. But there was nothing but the street of cloud houses and the pitch black of the night.
