Dizzy's heartache

My name is Dizzy. I am the son of the draconequus Havoc and the mare Cloud Swirl. Discord (I'm sure you know him) is my uncle, and Screwball is my cousin. I've only met Discord a select number of times, as mom never really liked him, nor trusted him around me. Dad is Discord's brother, they were best buds, and as you may have guessed, I'm named after my uncle. My dad died in a factory accident in the weather factory. He worked for Cloudsdale Weather Industries, because Draconequuses have amazing talents with weather. He wasn't scheduled to work that day, but his boss called and said they needed more rainbows, and that he was going to help make them. He was so excited, because that was the first time he would learn how they were made.

The recipe to a rainbow is top secret, only the boss of the whole industry and a select other few know. Some say that the raw rainbow before it touches oxygen is so strong, that some ponies go mad just looking at it. Before he left, he promised that he would make the brightest rainbow, just for me. He never came home. He kept his promise though, and later that day, they was a beautiful rainbow in the sky, the brightest I've ever seem.

A while ago, maybe nine months, mom started dating a stallion called Filthy Rich. A stallion! Not a draconaquus, a stallion! Like, a pony! He was really nice, he always gave me sweets and took me out for icecream. I'm not in school, you see, so he took me for icecream when all the other foals were in school. I always felt so special. He told me about his daughter, her name was Diamond Tiara. One day, he brought her to the icecream shop with me as well. She smiled and introduced herself, which I did I'm return. She was so sweet!

Diamond introduced me to her pony friend Silver Spoon, she was sweet as sugar too! They took me to the movies and we watched The Trotting Dead, they didn't even tease me about being scared! Mom asked me what my opinion was on them (just in case the subject of marriage came up) and I told the truth, I said that I loved Filthy Rich and his daughter. Filthy is always understanding of me and my shyness, and Diamond doesn't get upset when I embarrass her in public, which I have done on occasion.

One time we were in a nice little grassy field, Silver, Diamond and I. I never told anyone, but I am can't cast magic properly. I never could. I agreed to show them my magic after they had been begging for a while. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I let magic flow into my horn, making sure it was only unicorn magic. My nerves got the best of me, however, and the magic exploded from my horn, resulting in the mixture of two kinds of magic, which should never happen.

A bright pink cotton candy cloud appeared above me, releasing a downpour of sticky chocolate milk mess. Diamond was standing to my right, and Silver Spoon to my left, meaning that both of them were caught in the mess. I was so embarrassed! They just smiled and said it was okay, and that everypony makes mistakes. I was so surprised that they weren't mad! I mean, the whole day they were fawning over each other's manes, which were professionally styled that morning. I thanked them for understanding, and I could have sworn that I saw Diamond's eye twitch, but it must have been a trick of the light.

They walked me home, all of us still covered in sticky milk. They smiled and gave me a sticky hug goodbye, and when I closed the front door, I thought I heard angered yells coming from outside. I brushed it off and went into the kitchen to make dinner for myself, because mom had gone on a fancy date with Mr. Rich. After dinner I watched TV until my mom came back. A little after midnight, just when I was just getting sleepy, my mom burst into the house screaming. I ran up to her, thinking that she was hurt or something, but she just hugged me and her smile was so big, I was worried it would split her face. After half an hour of trying to calm her down, she told me that Filthy proposed!

. They got married in this big wedding and afterwards, we all went to the Rich's home. I was allowed to sleep in the guest room, and Filthy and Mom slept together. I woke up to breakfast in bed, served by their wonderful servants. I thanked the young stallion that brought my food, waiting until he left to dig in. I got pancakes, waffles, syrup, hay bacon and everything else in between! It was so nice. After I ate, I got ready for the day. Nothing fancy, really. I just combed my black mane and red tail, quickly preened my Pegasus wing of stray feathers, stretched out my dark bat wing, and brushed my teeth (including my snaggletooth, which was apparently a common trait in the Draconaquus species).

All was perfect, until I heard someone come into the room. I didn't pay much attention, but I should have. Two hooves slammed me against the wall, angry blue eyes staring into mine, which were filled with fear. "Listen up, halfbreed. I just want to say one thing. Stay away from Cloud, and I'll stay away from you. Try to win her affection, and trust me, you'll regret it" my attacker spat. I nodded frantically, which resulted in being let go and dropped to the ground. I scrambled to my hooves, breathing heavily as I watched the pink tail of my attacker leave the room.

What. Just. Happened.
