Chapter 4: Defending thy honor

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A few more months passed after the Grand Galloping Gala. Luna and Rainbow Dash have been spending more and more time together. They decided today they would just have a relaxing walk through town, just to pass some time without getting tuckered out.

Luna stretched her legs after landing on the ground, her and Rainbow Dash had just flown to Ponyville after a sleepover at the Canterlot castle. They began walking at a slow pace, obviously too slow for Rainbow Dash, so they took a walk trotting.

"I've never actually just walked around Ponyville just to see what's around here." Luna said half distracted by the shops. Dash giggled at that.

"There's a lot to do here, but it's not the most exciting town in the world, I like it though, calm and plenty or air space. Perfect for my showing off." Dash said with a laugh. Luna smiled. They walked for a little longer before stopping at Sugar Cube corner for lunch.

Afterwards, they decided to head over and see Applejack. As they were walking, Dumb-Bell (Look him up on the MLP wiki if you don't know who he is) suddenly jumped out of an alleyway and rammed into Dash's side.

"Ow!" She yelled as she hit the ground. Luna stood there stunned.

"Ha! Maybe you should watch where your walking Rainbow crash!" He yelled while laughing.

"What's your problem Dumbass-Bell?!" She yelled as she got back up.

"Actually, why are you even on the ground? Shouldn't you be in Cloudsdale?" She asked with a confused look.

"I'm on leave for a while, come to check out the ground, not too bad, except it's got a little to much rainbow on it." He said laughing again.

"We'll aren't you the rude type?" Luna said disgusted.

"Oh look, little Dashie has herself a friend! The younger princess eh? Luna was it? HA!The non-special one?" He laughed himself silly once again. Luna was unsure what to say, she had not been insulted since she was that monster from the moon, she still could not bare to even think the name.

"My sister will know of your ignorance and disrespect! Don't make us very angry!" Luna said fiercely. Dumb-Bell laughed once again.

"What are you gunna do about it Nightmare Moon?" Luna was taken aback by him saying this. Rainbow Dash saw the tears welling up in her eyes. Suddenly Rainbow Dash felt an enormous rage building up inside of her.

"Don't you ever call her that again!" She yelled as she stepped forward. She found she couldn't control herself, she was surprised at herself as she ran up to Dumb-Bell and hit him hard in the face with her hoof. Dumb-Bell stumbled backwards and was shocked. He placed his hoofs on his nose, he drew them away and noticed he was bleeding.

"Wha-what the hell?!" He yelled at her angrily.

"That's what you get, being mean to me all these years, and now insulting the princess and my best friend!" Luna was once again taken aback by this statement.

"Do you really mean that Rainbow Dash?" She asked.

"Of course I do Luna! You're a great friend!" She only had time to say this before she felt Dumb-Bell's back hoofs hit her in the stomach. She fell over once again. Dumb-Bell ran up and stopped over her.

"You're going to pay for that!" He yelled, his blood dripped a little bit onto her body. He raised his hoof and struck her in the stomach again. Rainbow Dash cringed and let out a scream. Luna watched in horror unsure of what to do. As she watched Dumb-Bell hit her again, she suddenly felt an adrenaline rush and she ran forward, knocking Dumb-Bell over. He hit the ground hard and let out a cough. Luna was speechless as to what she just did, but she was too rage filled to care. She stood over Dumb-Bell.

"This is how you treat mares?! This is how you treat your princess?! You are despicable, evil, lowly coward! You will be punished severely!" She screamed in Dumb-Bell's face.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I was...I was being stupid! Please! Don't bother with me, I'm worthless to you! Please I'm really sorry!" Dumb-Bell pleaded. Luna kicked him hard in his stomach.

"Be gone with you! Don't ever let me see you touch or go near Rainbow Dash or another mare again! Do you hear me?!" She yelled.

"Yes ma'am! I'll stop! I promise!" He cowardly yelled as he got up and flew away back to Cloudsdale. Luna watched as he flew away, then remembered Rainbow Dash. She ran over to her.

"Rainbow! Are you ok? Is anything broken?" She asked.

"Y-yeah. I'm alright, just bruised, I'll be fine." She said as she shakily got up.

"Can't believe he got the best of me." Dash said shamefully. Luna put a hoof on her shoulder.

"He didn't get the best of you, it was a cheap shot. I also want to thank you Rainbow, that's the first time anyone has defended me." Luna said.

"It was nothing, I'd do anything for a really good friend, er...well... Best friend." She smiled and hugged Luna. Luna felt that feeling again. She felt her face turning dark purple again. She broke off quickly.

"We should probably get you home, I can fix those cuts on your face."

"What cuts?" Rainbow asked as she felt her face. She pulled her hoof away and saw some blood on her hoof. She groaned.

"Damn Dumbass-Bell. Alright let's go, thanks Luna."

"It's no problem Dash, anything for a best friend. Well, only friend in my case." Luna said brushing some dust off of Rainbow Dash's back. They started to walk back to Dash's place. But Dash's legs hurt, so they flew the rest of the way.
