Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes. The sun shone brightly annd birds were chirping. it was almost to bright. She groggily lowered her gaze to the alarm clock and stared for it a while. When her sleepy mind finally understood what time it was, it could have easily looked like she had been awake for hours.

" Ponyfeathers! I'm late!" she exclaimed and flew in to the shower. After a quick wash she flew down to the kitchen and brewed some coffee. When she had drank up she grabbed an apple and her saddlebag and flew out through the door. She had to fly over Ponyville, wich took about five minutes. Rainbow ate the apple on the way and trowed the core in a trash bin before bursting trough the door wich led to the Ponyville weather office.

"Sorry I'm late guys, I overslept," Rainbow Dash said to her fellow team before trotting over to her desk and looked over the weather schedule.
It wouldn't be so much trouble today; an light thunderstorm over the south end of ponyville and some rain over different parts of sweet apple acres.
" Alright guys, lets get started. Thunderlane, I want your team to oversee and create the thunderstorm; don't let it go on too hard and clear it in about three hours. And dont let lightning near town hall, they're still repairing it. Got it?" she asked Thunderlane who nodded and walked away. Smiling approvingly she returned to the rest of the ponies. " Raindrop, i want your team on rescource control today. Make sure Thuderlane's team have enough storm clouds and mix the leftowers with dry ones. we have to get quite a lot of easily filled clouds for the acres and for the common emergencies 'kay?"

" Yes ma'am, " she said and followed her team down one floor where all the clouds laid.

"Good. Flitter, Cloudchaser, come with me. We're going to Applejack's."

Rainbow led the way over the applefarm, and in the meantime took a good look at it. It was more glorious and appetizing than ever. The apples
were in all different shapes and sizes. Red, green, yellow. The smell of freshly baked applepie was ligering up in her nostrils. Rainbow Dash inhaled the smell and smiled. Then she searched for the owner. After flying for a while she spotted an orange pony bucking a tree.

"Flitter, gather the clouds from the south part of the orchard. Cloudshaser, cover the west part. I'm gonna have a quck talk with Applejack before i help ya." The two sisters nodded and flew away. Rainbow headed down and landed behind Applejack.

"Hey there, Applejack!" Rainbow exclaimed, causing the friend to make a startled jump and hit her head in a branch. Applejack turned hear head and shook it hard too erase the flimmering stars that occupied her sight and prevented her from seeing who had startled her.

"Hehe, guess I shouldn't be shouting at ya." The pegasus said apologetically as she walked towards Applejack. The orange earthpony examined her friend with a smile, although she saw that Rainbow Dash seemed off. The usually confident mare seemed... nervous. She was shifting her weight onto one leg to another and flickered with her eyes. And her eyes was bearing tiredness, and a little sadness, witch made Applejack uncomfortable."Well, you said that you needed some rain over the orchard, were exactly?Umm... Applejack? Hey! Ya in there?!" shouted Rainbow Dash, once again startling Applejack.

"Oh! Sorry. What did ya say?"

"I was asking you were you wanted the rain,"an slighty annoyed Rainbow said.

" Alright. Ah want it on different parts on ta east orchard, and ah need a real dowpour, partner!"

"Good. Well, see you in the week then," Rainbow Dash said and turned to take off, letting a relieved sigh out. But just as she was getting off the ground, she was stopped by Applejacks sweet and worried voice.

"Sugarcube? Something's troubling you, isn't it?" her worry was heard in the voice to, and Rainbow Dash couldn't just take off knowing one of her friends was cocerned.

"Well, you know, the death... of my parents."

"Oh my, that happened today? Ahm sorry Rainbow," Applejack was dumbstruck, after all these years she had nearly forgotten. She didn't know how to comfort her friend, who seemed to still take the loss really hard."Ah'm sure we can get trough this somehow. After all we're friends. All of us."

"All of us?" Rainbow questioned.

"Yeah. You, me, and tha girls. 'Cause ya'll have telled tha others, right?"

"Um, actually," Rainbow began, nervously scratching the back of her neck," I've kinda forgotten to." she let out a nervous laugh, and Applejack understood perfectly what was going on.

"Sugarcube, I now death is a sensitive topic for ya, but bottling your emotions up like this isn't gonna help ya at all, nore is it gonna help other ponies. One day ya'll will snap, and it wont feel good. It's better to take it nice an' slow, tell us one on one."

" You're probaly right, AJ. But, I just don't know how to come out to them," Rainbow said, and it was true. Almost the only reason she didn't come out to them was because she didn't want to break down.

"Just tell the truth and it'll be fine," Applejack smiled.

"Well, I gotta go and help them with the clouds now. And thanks. I really needed that" Rainbow Dash gave Applejack a friendly hug and left, leaving one of her bestest friends with a satisfied smile.

Rainbow Dash was once again flying over town, this time not in a hurry. She flew in the direction of the library, with a nervous yet determined smile plastered upon her face. The large tree could not be mistaken, Rainbow was closing in. She had thought hard on the things Applejack had said, and came to the conclusion that she would tell Twilight about it first. After all, they had already touched the subject yesterday night. She was now standing at the door, raised a hoof and knocked. A muffled "Coming!" was heard from the inside. soon she heard the door being opened. Twilight stood in the doorway with a slightly surprised look on her face.

"Taking the door for once huh?" she said with a slight giggle. Rainbow smiled, but quickly returned to serious.

"Twi, I need to talk with you."

"Sure, come on in." Twilight stepped aside, letting her friend in. "Do you want something to drink? Juice or tea perhaps?" she asked.

"I'll have some juice."

Twilight walked to the kitchen and prepared their drinks. She soon returned with two large levitating glasses of orange juice. Twilight put them on a table between two couches where Rainbow already sat.

"What was it you wanted to talk about?" Twilight asked eagerly.

"My parents."

"I want to do that to. I made some research last night but found nothing about your parents. Can you please tell me the truth?" Twilight said, curiously wating for the truth to be revealed.

"I will, but it's a long story." Rainbow Dash said and took a sip from her glass before starting to tell the story of her life for the second time this day.
When she was done, Twilight sat with her jaw slightly open and her eyes was watery, tears threathening to fall. Rainbow Dash on the other hand sat emotionless and cold. Her face was unreadable. She didn't have any feelings to hide. She had already cried. Already felt miserable and lonely.
What more was it to feel? To show? Nothing. Nothing exept relief. She felt it running trough her body as she was telling Twilight the story. Now it washed over her. The pain and guilt was no more. A tiny smile and a little chuckle escaped her lips. It really did feel good. But one who didn't feel good was the lavender unicorn in front of her.

"R-Rainbow... Im s-so sorry. It mu-must have f-f-felt horable. How d-did you deal with thi-this?" Twilight croaked between her sobs."O-oh just l-look at me. I shouldn't b-be cr-crying. I sh-should comfort you!" Twilight wailed and buried her head in her hooves. Rainbow quickly rushed to her friends side, comforting the broken mare with a hug and slowly stroking her hoof down Twilight's spine.

"I know. But I already cried. My world crumbled when I was eight. I emptied my body on sad feelings today. And i shouldn't have bothered you with this. I'm sorry."

"No. You did the right thing. I'm glad you came. You're strong and brave. And I'm sure your parents would be proud of you right now."

"I know. Thanks. For listening."

"Thanks for telling."

Rainbow Dash got to sleep peacefully that night. Over the evening, she had told all her friends, with mixed reactions. Rarity overreacted a bit, of course. Not too bad, actually. Pinkie took it hard. Her har had deflated like a ballon, but after half an hour of comforting and a pinkie promise of a party, the pink mare was almostherself again. Fluttershy had actually suspected it for a while, but she hadn't believed in it, and it wasn't sweet to see her like that. Applejack already knew, of course, but she was happy that Rainbow had came to her senses. What seemed like a good nights sleep was unfortunaetly interrupted by a knock on the door in the middle of the night...
