In the crack of dawn, a young woman was sleeping in her queen sized bed, in her one room apartment. When suddenly a loud noise filled the entire apartment, waking up,the young Rainbow haired woman.
"Five more minutes mom," groaned the young lady as she smashed her alarm clock into tiny pieces trying to simply turn it off. "Dammit! That's the fifth alarm I've broken this week," said she said to herself as she got out of bed and stretched her sore limbs
The young woman was none other than Rainbow Dash. A desk typing worker at Octavia newspaper.
"Well. Time to hit the shower," said Rainbow Dash as she walked towards the bathroom.
She started the shower and waited a couple of seconds before getting in. The hot, steaming water soothed her toned muscled body, relieving the aches and pains she had from last nights activities.
As Rainbow Dash lathered her body with soaps, she felt the urge to relieve herself in another way. Sadly, that would have to wait she didn't want to risk running late to work and have her boss Octavia give her one of her famous lectures about punctuality. That's the last thing Rainbow needed in what was looking to be a shitty morning.
"Ah! Nothing like a hot shower to soothe those aching muscles," sighed Rainbow Dash as she entered her bedroom to get dressed.
She quickly got dressed in her work clothes and went to the kitchen to get herself some cereal. "Can't be going to work on an empty stomach," said Dash as she began to eat her breakfast.
She finished eating and grabbed her coat and keys as she exit the apartment. Entering her car she started the ignition and head off to work. Which not surprisingly was met with much backed up traffic.
"What do you expect when you live in New York" thought Rainbow Dash as she waited at a stoplight.
She finally made it to the Octavia news building and took the parking spot that was closest to front doors of the building. She got out of her car and walked in to the new building, walking past the front desk and boarding the elevator. She made it to her floor and was immediately yelled at by a familiar voice.
"Rainbow Dash! Get in here NOW!" Yelled Rainbow's boss Octavia.
With a sigh of exasperation she walked towards the office, while muttering under her breath "into the lions den I go,"
As she walked into the office Octavia pointed to the chair on the opposite side of the desk, telling Rainbow Dash to sit down. Of course Rainbow did what she asked without hesitation.
"What do you need boss?" Asked Rainbow Dash. Desperately wanting to get this over with.
"We got a new employee coming to work here today and I want you to show him around and let him get a know how things work around here?" Demanded Octavia with here trademark tone that meant no complaining.
Rainbow Dash, being the type of person she was always complained regardless. "Why! Why do I have to show the newbie around?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Can't you get Twilight Sparkle to do it? She's better with new employees," stated Rainbow Dash, that egg head loved learning about new people. Rainbow Dash new that from her first time meeting the woman. She memory brought a shiver up Rainbows' spine.
"Twilight Sparkle's busy writing up an article about the Rainbow Blur. So stop complaining, do what I ask, and for gods sake don't forget to put on a smiles?" Yelled Octavia, frustrated by Rainbow Dash's constant complaining about every little task that's assigned to her.
"Fine ill do it!" Said Rainbow Dash as she caved. "What's the guys name anyway?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
Octavia slammed a folder onto the desk. "Here's his file. Go over it and wait for his arrival once your done." Said Octavia as Rainbow Dash grabbed the file to see what was inside.
As Rainbow Dash looked through the file what she saw and read surprised her.
"This guy looks like he could be the poster boy for geek monthly!" Laughed Rainbow Dash. "Enjoys reading, loves the outdoors, loves Shakespeare, helps those in need, and hates cheaters. This guys a total boys scout," thought Rainbow Dash as she read the bio.
She finished reading the file on the new guy and decided to just wait at her cubicle until he showed up. Rainbow Dash sighed, "just another one of those days," she said.
*Fifteen minutes later*
Rainbow Dash had fallen asleep in her chair waiting for the young man to arrive. She was having a nightmare, one that has occurred many times over the last five years.
*Rainbow Dash's nightmare*
Rainbow Dash and her mother were walking home one night. They had just finished watching Superman Four The Quest for Peace, and Rainbow was disappointed by it to say the least.
As the two walked across the sidewalk the ten year old Rainbow Dash was complaining to her mother about how bad the film had been. Her mother told her that she didn't care whether or not the movie was good, but that she got to spend quality time with Dash.
Rainbow Dash was too preoccupied with her rant that she hadn't noticed her mother stop walking. Rainbow looked at her mother and noticed a look of fear and panic on her mothers face. When she looked behind her mother she saw why. A man had snuck up behind them and pointed a gun to the back of her mother head.
BANG!!
*Reality*
The loud noise startled Rainbow Dash, causing her to fall off her chair.
"What the fuck was that?" Rainbow thought out loud.
"Dammit Dash! I told you to be ready for when the new guy arrives and here you are sleeping," yelled Octavia.
Rainbow Dash got back onto her feet and apologized to Octavia. She then looked left of Octavia and noticed someone next to her. Rainbow Dash remembered him from the files that her boss had given her.
"You must be James Luxor? Names Rainbow Dash, pleasure to meet you," said Rainbow Dash with a polite tone that shocked both Octavia and Rainbow Dash herself.
Before James had time to reply sirens had gone off in the distance and screams of citizens could be heard. Rainbow Dashknew who was causing such mayhem, she just wished the bitch would have waited till after work or when Rainbow at least had free time.
"Sorry, but I have to go to the restroom." rainbow dash lied.
She quickly ran into the restroom and immediately started stripping. In a few quick blurry motions Rainbow Dash had gone from wearing her typical work clothes, to dawning the tight full body suit of the Rainbow Blur!
"Time to get to work!" Said Rainbow Dash with a huge grin on her face.
She flew out the window and followed the sounds of screams and explosions, ready to,take on her arch nemesis Nightmare Moon!
Citizens attempting to flee the mayhem, caused by nightmare moon, were practically trampling over one another in order to get as far away from the resident super villain. luckily for them their very own champion of colorful justice had arrived.
"Octavia's going to kill me for ditching on the newbie." said Rainbow Dash to no one in particular.
She quickly flew past the buildings to save the screaming citizens of New York, her rainbow colored hair blowing in the wind. She had arrived at the scene, much to the citizens relief, as she came face to face with her arch nemesis Nightmare Moon. Nightmare's hair was as blue as a sapphire diamond, her skin as black as night, and eyes as red as rubies. at first glance on would probably think they were staring at the form of a she devil.
Nightmare laughed at the sudden presence of the Rainbow Blur. "look at what we have here, the resident do-gooder in all of her GAY glory." mocked Nightmare Moon as she saw the blur's cheeks glow red with embarrassment.
Rainbow Dashed hated any homosexual comments made towards her. She remembered all the times as a teen she was made fun of due to her natural hair color, kids could be cruel, thought Rainbow Dash.
"Enough jokes!" yelled Rainbow as she got into a mid air fighting stance, "lets finish this quickly, I got places I need to be." said the Blur with a serious tone to her voice.
Nightmare eyes glowed red with fury, " the only place you'll be going is hell, you fucking bitch!" she screamed in anger.
Nightmare Moon then flew towards the Blur at sonic speed, yet to Rainbow it seemed more like slow motion. They don't call me the Rainbow Blur for nothing, thought Rainbow Dash as she quickly dodged all of Nightmares attacks with ease. Though it seemed as though luck was not on Dash's side as she heard a scream from an onlooker that for a spit second distracted Rainbow and gave Nightmare Moon the perfect opportunity to land a blow right on her face, it left a red mark on her cheek that would surely bruise.
"You bitch!" spat Rainbow Dash as she placed her hand on her red cheek.
Nightmare laughed evilly before saying " Whats the matter Blur cant keep up with me? I can understand why though, my power far outweighs your pitiful abilities."
Rainbow glared at her nemesis, "we"ll see how cheeky you are after i smash your face in." Rainbow stated as she flew towards her opponent delivering a swift and powerful punch to her chest that sent her sky rocketing towards a building.
Seeing her mistake, the Blur quickly flew toward Nightmare before she could collide with occupied building. Rainbow kicked in another direction so she wouldn't harm any citizens, now she her opponent had started to fall towards an unused patch of farm land. Nightmare smashed into the ground causing an earthquake like rumble. The entire city rejoiced as the super villain was dealt with, all thanks to their own personal super hero The Rainbow Blur.
Rainbow Dash hovered in mid air as she cracked her sore joints, possibly popping a few bones back into place. Rainbow then looked down at her citizens before saying, "i'm glad everyone's safe, be sure to call me whenever something else important comes up. i'll be her faster than you can say AWESOME!" said The Rainbow Blur before she flew off back to her work.
* five minutes and one clothes change later*
"Rainbow Dash! What the hell is wrong with you?!" screamed Octavia as our young heroine sunk into her chair in both fear and embarrassment. "I give you one job, ONE JOB!" exclaimed Octavia as she pinched the bridge of her nose, her hair disheveled from stress.
"Sorry boss, something important came up." said Rainbow with both shame and guilt.
Octavia finally calmed down to some degree. "look, I don't care what you do in your personal time but this is work dammit, and I need you to start acting like what happens in this building and city matter to you." said Octavia with a sort of motherly tone to her voice. "go apologize to the new guy, then come right back to my office there are some things I need to discuss with you before I give you your next assignment."
" you got it chief." said Dash with enthusiasm as she practically saluted Octavia before she left to go find James.
Rainbow Dash was deep in thought wondering what she could do to make it up to James, so much so that she didn't even see the person in front of her as she collided with them. Rainbow was fine since almost nothing could really hurt her so she just shrugged it off and got back up. she than went over to the other person to help them up and realized the one she had been thinking about had been knocked on his ass by her.
"Sorry about that, i should really pay more more attention to were i'm going." apologized Rainbow Dash as she extended her arm to help James up.
James adjusted his glasses before taking Rainbow's arm and saying, "it's fine, nothings broken as far as i can tell so no need to worry."
Rainbow Dash smiled as she looked at the childish grin he was giving her. she couldn't help but smile back, at the same time thinking about how sweet this man was as they both stared at each other. Realizing that she was staring, she quickly averted her gaze and apologized to her fellow journalist once more before offering to take him to lunch for ditching him earlier. luckily he agreed or Octavia might have carved her ass if she couldn't make it right with her new employee.
* Thirty minutes later *
both Rainbow and James were seated across from each other as they waited in a Perkins for their food. they conversed in small talk as they waited, Rainbow asked him if he had any family in the city.
" I do have a sister who has lived here for a couple years, she was actually the one who recommended i get a job here. She always thinks that just because she's older than me that she can make life decisions for me." said James with a sigh. he turned his gaze back to Rainbow, " so how about you, got any family here?" asked James with curiosity.
" No, my mom lives in Manhattan, I try to visit as often as possible since she lives by herself." stated Rainbow Dash with sadness in her voice.
Their food came and both James and Rainbow had eaten their lunch before heading back to the office, it was then that Dash had remembered that Octavia wanted to meet with her after she came back.
Rainbow knocked before entering and what she saw sent a chill down her spine, Octavia was holding an assignment paper up for her to see and she saw that it was an interview assignment. normally Rainbow Dash was fine with those kind of jobs since she got to get out of the office, but this was not one of those times.
Octavia's gaze was fixed right on Dash as she slammed the assignment paper down on the table before telling rainbow Dash that it was time for her to take on a more hard hitting story. She said that she would working with Twilight Sparkle to get this interview, which normally wouldn't bug her too much, it's not like Rainbow hated Twilight she just thought the girl could get a little annoying when she got would talk about all the things she liked. Which where: books, science, history and the one Rainbow hated the most the Rainbow Blur.
Rainbow was practically on her knees begging. " anything but a Rainbow Blur assignment, i'll even go do the story about Justin Bieber's new haircut, anything but the Rainbow Blur. PLEASE!" pleaded Rainbow Dash.
Octavia sighed " I don't know why you have such an issue with those Rainbow Blur stories, but you're one of our best journalists second only to Twilight." stated Octavia before continuing, " but you need to put those issues aside Dash, the Rainbow Blur just got into a fist fight with Nightmare Moon in the city and i need both of my best journalists on it, now get to it."
"yes mam." sulked Rainbow as she trudged to to Twilight's desk.
"great, now what am i gonna do" thought Rainbow Dash
