Pegasi First

ONE MONTH LATER

Dash couldn't stand waiting. She had no patience left for anypony. They had called her to Canterlot, and they had the audacity to be late... She couldn't take it....

Dash kicked the door in and flew in at walking speed, Twilight and Cadence were in the throne room, but there was no sign of Celestia. No pony had seen her since Luna had died.

"What is it this time? Do I need to save the city again?" Dash demanded. "Oh, yeah, it's such a shame to hear about Shining. Great guy."

Cadence sighed. "We need your help... Celestia hasn't shown her face for a month, and neither of us have any war-time ruling experience." She hated to have to ask Dash for help

Dash smiled. "Why? Why should I help you?"

Twilight looked shocked. "I thought you would want this?!"

"Oh Twilight, so quick to judge. I'm quite enjoying things at the moment."

"What could be enjoyable about your life? You live in a cliff..."

Dash smiled. "I'm also head of the strongest army in Equestria. What will happen should Celestia recover?"

"She will take back her old position, and you will return to whatever you're currently doing. What are you doing?"

"Scheming" she said, deadly serious. "Oh... How's Fluttershy?" She smiled

"How do you think? You cut her wings off!" Twilight stood, and approached Dash

"Watch yourself, or I'll kill you too" Dash smirked

"What does that mean? Who else have you killed?"

"Hmmm.... Many a pony"

Dash turned and started to walk out. "I shall contemplate your offer..."

Twilight ran after her, then walked alongside Dash. "Can I see it?"

Dash sighed. "What?..."

"Pegasi Rock"

"You wouldn't like it... It's not very... Princessy"

"I don't care. I want to see it."

"Yeah? And I want to kill you. Doesn't mean I'm going to"

Twilight looked offended. "I thought we were friends!"

Dash scoffed "I have no friends... Only comrades."

"Please show me?"

Dash let a smile creep across her face. "Very well... But I'm warning you, don't say or do anything unless I tell you to, and stay close."

Dash sat at the table in her quarters, Twilight opposite her. "What do you think?"

"It's cold... And where are the Royal Banners? All I see are these black flags..."

"I welcome you, an Alicorn, into my lair and you offend me?"

"What's wrong with being an Alicorn?"

"You're not a Pegasus" she spat. "You're lucky you haven't been killed yet." Dash waved at a guard. "Bring me Commander Spitfire"

The guard ran off, then returned with Spitfire

"Sit" Dash pointed to a chair next to Twilight

"Next to her?"

Dash nodded. "Spitfire, I'm sure you know Twilight."

"Unfortunately"

"Hey! What's wrong with me?" Twilight demanded

"You're not a Pegasus" Spitfire spat, making Rainbow laugh

"Now, now Spitfire, she's our guest"

"Doesn't make her less of a cunt!" Dash and Spitfire laughed

"I'm leaving!" Twilight shouted, then headed for the door

"Oh, Twilight!"

"What?"

"I'll take charge starting tomorrow"

Things couldn't have gone better, Dash was now head of all of Equestria, and had the strongest army to help defend it. All she had to do was crude the Griffons...
