A New Student

Rainbow Dash, a beloved wife, mother, and friend to any and all ponies she has met in her life. At age eighteen she became the youngest Wonderbolt ever enrolled. She married her co. wonder bolt Soarin at age twenty five, saying their wedding vows at over a hundred miles per hour.

At age thirty she gave birth to her first child, a light blue baby colt Pegasus with a black main and tail that had a red lightning shaped streak around the center of both mane and tail the two new parents named him Star Racer.

Two years later she gave birth to another baby Pegasus, a little filly with an orange coat, light blue mane and tail with white lightning streaks also towards the center of both main and tail she was named lightning cloud.

Most ponies say Rainbow Dash has lived a full life and she agrees with them. Loving husband, amazing children following in their parents hoof steps, and a first place trophy for almost every major race in Equestria. Now despite being in top physical condition Rainbow is fifty five and retired, she now spends her time volunteering at the Cloudsdale juvenile obedience center, her success rate is more than the number of trophies she has won in her life, this new batch won't be any different except for a very familiar looking mare.

Its mid day and the ‘students’ of room 304 are the newly enrolled juveniles are waiting for their instructor. However they do not know who their instructor is, that was kept from them.

A Pegasus mare, neon green mane and tail obviously died with a brown coat and a cinnamon stick cutie mark in the back of the room starts to speak. "Damn it when is the fucking teacher's gonna get here!?"

A response from a hazel stallion with a dark brown mane and tail with a nail and hammer cutie mark in the middle of the room speaks. “Who cares I honesty would rather sit around and do nothing then have some bitch try to 'adjust' my personality."

“Is that so"? The class looks over to the door and See's a light blue mare with a rainbow mane and tail with a lightning bolt cutie mark. "Just who in fucking hell do you think you are to call me a fucking damn BITCH!"

"(Gulp) You... You’re... Rainbow Dash!?"  The hazel stallion’s disbelief puts him into a nervous stutter.

" That's right and guess what"? Rainbow quickly trots up to the young stallion, millimeters from his muzzle. "I've had younger, Brattier bastards than you walk in here and come out model citizens; you think you’re a hot shot, just try and screw with me!”

Rainbow Dash gets a mere inch from the stallions muzzle as he nervously takes a gulp before speaking “No mam."

"Good, now then" Rainbow walks over to the front of the class over to her desk and pulls out a document with several names listed. "Alright just say present when I call your name, sharp shooter."

“Present". The neon green mane and tail mare speaks.

"Ace wing.

“Present".  A yellow stallion in the right corner of the room replies

"Shining star."

"Present." A purple mare in the far left corner of the room speaks.

“Fix it."

(Gulp)"... Per.. Per..Present."

Rainbow looks up and sees the hazel colt from just earlier responded. "Hu, Colorful."

Silence falls as no pony answers.

“Colorful?"

Again no response as Rainbow starts to rage.

"A no show, if that pony gets here they’ll be..." Just as Rainbow dash was about to begin a rant the door opens and a pale blue mare with an equally pail rainbow main and tail and a lightning bolt cutie mark trots through the door.

"Sorry I'm late I had to..." The mare as well as Rainbow Dash look at each other in shock while the rest of the class looks back and forth from the mare in the doorway, Colorful and Rainbow. "What in the ever loving fuck"!?

Rainbow Dash looks over at the document on her desk. Reading the information twice then looking back over to the mare. “I’m guessing you're colorful"?

"Ya, ugh I'm just gonna take my seat now". Colorful quickly trots over to the seat in front of Fix it, just before Rainbow can speak the mare in the back, shining star starts talking.

" What the hell are you two related or something "?

Colorful turns around enough to be able to see shining star in the back. “Not likely I come from a long line of only children; I don't have an uncle, ant, or cousin to speak of".

Rainbow shakes her head and snaps back to regain control of her students. "It doesn't madder if we look alike or not you’re all students and I will treat you as such, now that EVERY pony is here I can go over the rules.”

“Oh joy." Colorful lays her head on the desk rolling her eyes in boredom as Rainbow Dash begins to speak.

"Rule one, I don't give a damn what you did to get hear so don't bother trying to tell your story".

“Don’t mind that one."

"Rule two, I use my own methods for correcting you punks, I know just as well as you do the by the book method only works for egg heads."

“Fact I’ll admit." Colorful mutters in a slightly louder tone of voce, catching Rainbow Dash’s attention

“Rule three; if a student talks three times when I'm talking the whole class now has to run the Wonderbolt punishment training course." Rainbow Dash Leans over in Colorful’s direction, an expression of anger across her face.

“I’d like ta...” An expression of realization goes across Colorful’s face. “Wait, Damn it!"

The whole class looks over at colorful with hateful grins, muttering comments under their breaths. "Also at the end of the course the student who brought this upon the class will race me in a mile long one lap race, if they student wins they can go leave early but if I win they repeat the course including the race."

Colorful jumps up straight in her seat from disbelief. “So wait if I win I go home early?"

"’If’ being the key word, the course itself has sent the greats to the hospital, the record for quickest run without injury is ten minutes exactly set by yours truly."

“Is that with or without the race?"

"With the race, why?"

" Well how about this, if I win I get to go home but if I win and complete the course in under ten minutes I get to leave in the middle class everyday for the rest of this little semester ".

Rainbow stairs at colorful for several seconds before bursting out in laughter, after a minute she calms down and starts speaking again. “You got guts kid I like that deal, but I'm still racing you."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

Race for what reason?

The students of Rainbows class sit tired and exhausted from the course, it was held in the gym of the rehabilitation center every student soaking in their own sweat after the near endless rounds and .  All except for Colorful who stands ready at the starting line on the track outside the gym with a time of nine minutes eight seconds on her, despite being tired the rest of the class sits next to the track anxious and excited.

Rainbow walks over from behind doing her pre-race stretching before it starts. "You’re doing pretty good kid, you might just win this thing if you had some more time, you got less than a minute to fly a mile and against me to boot your odds aren't looked so good."

  "If your gonna be an egotistical jack ass the whole time then your confidence will be your downfall."

  "Being confident is one of the reasons I got where I am, there's no reason for me to not be confident and I'm not being egotistical."

"Confidence leads to overconfidence which then can lead to an over-sized ego, something you already have."

  Rainbow stop's her stretches, with an annoyed expression on her muzzle she stands ready on the starting line. "You’re making it real hard for me not to go all out kid; I want to give you a chance of winning."

  "I don't need any help from a retired has been."

  "That's it, you asked for it girly.  Fix it! You got a camera on your phone!?"

  Fix it jumps from his exhausted state on the ground to standing up straight and tall, holding his phone out with one of his wings, camera facing Rainbow and Colorful.  "Yes ma'am."

  "Good, now count us down from ten kid."

  "Yes mam, ten."

  Colorful looks over to Rainbow noticing her increased determination. "You seem pissed, my insult get to you that fast?"

  "Nine."

"Regrettably yes, I'll show you what the fastest flyer in Equestria can do."

  "Eight."

  "So that's your motivation for winning, to keep some title?"

   "Seven."

  "My whole reason for racing has been to prove that I deserve that title".

  "Six."

  "Your whole reason? Then I am going to win".

  "Five."

  "And what makes your reason for wanting to win this race so much better!?"

  "Four."

  "I'm racing for some pony who I love and won't leave alone, not for long anyways."

  "Three."

  "Awww I'm sorry but your sex toy is gonna have to wait for you to come home to play!"

  "Two."

  "Why you fucking whore, that's it now you ticked me off!"

  "One, go!"

* * *

Rainbow sits at the starting/finish line of the track already hours after the race thinking over every second every movement of the race trying to understand just how after a near twenty year winning streak how she could have lost to an inexperienced teenager. "I don't get it, I just don't get it how the fuck did I lose?" In her state of self muttering and confusion Colorful walks up behind Rainbow slapping her in the face forcing her to the ground.

  "Your pathetic. One loss, one loss is all it takes to turn you into this."

  Rainbow gets back up from the ground, spits to the side and looks over to Colorful. "I hate losing."

  "You hate to lose so you throw a fit and whine.  You're pathetic."

  "I'm a champion, the fastest flyer in Equestria you had to have cheated and all just you can go to your crappy little home and screw around with your lover pony!"

Colorful's eyes widen filled with a burning anger raising her hoof as far back as she physically can.  "CLENCH THOSE TEETH YOU BITCH!" Colorful hits Rainbow clean under the chin with all her power, sending her flying several feet rolling and across the cloud ground. Despite being made of clouds many cuts and bruises still appeared on her body.

As she struggles to get up Colorful quickly flies over to her kicking her over on her back, her eyes still filled with fiery rage staring right into Rainbows eyes. "Call me what you want, but if you ever say anything about my sweet little Flashlight again I'll rip your fucking wings off!"  Colorful flies off leaving nothing but a few clouds scattered from the track where she stood.

  "Sweet... Little Flashlight." Rainbow mutters to herself while lying on the floor for several minutes thinking those words over and over again.  "But she, she's only like, fifteen... How could she have a foal?"

* * *

Rainbow, sorely fly's to the front of her home after her sore flight. Her home a three story could building with two columns also made of clouds at each corner of the front of the house, Rainbow looking at the top story window notices the lights on. "Crap, Soarin's home early, I was hoping to not have to explain anything."

Rainbow takes a deep breath flying up to the window rather than entering the front door, in the room she sees her husband Soarin sitting on the recliner in the corner eating a pie out of the tin.  "Ha, never changes." Moving a large chunk of cloud from the wall Rainbow flies through the hole placing the cloud back in its place upon entering.

Soarin looks up from his pie face full of bits of cherry and crumbs. Seeing his cut and bruised wife Soarin spits out his pie, chunks of cherry and crust flying all over the floor even several pieces finding rest on Rainbows face. Before Rainbow has a chance to speak she finds herself lay down on their bed, Soarin treating her injuries.

  "Rainbow what the hell happened!?"

  "I... Uh..."

  "Did you try and attempt a sonic Rainboom AGAIN?  You haven't been able to do that since the accident, it’s the whole reason you had to..."

  "SHUT UP!"

Soarin' shows a regretful expression across his face, the two stay in an awkward silence for a minute or so before Soarin finally breaks the silence. "Well... If it wasn't that then what happened?"

  Rainbow takes a deep breath, her face showing regret and sorrow. "I said some stuff to a student and..."

  "If a student did this to you then you need to tell the board and..."

  "She did it to me just because I... I insulted her and some pony important to her."

  "Like who?"

  "I think she has a foal and I may have called him her sex toy..."

Soarin sits silent for several seconds, shakes his head and leans in placing a kiss on his injured wife's check. "You're gonna have to apologize for that one, you may be physically and verbally rough with your students but that is just way too far, what did she say or do to make you say that about her kid?"

  "I didn't know she was talking about her kid I just thought she was talking about a boyfriend or something, but the thing that pushed me  over the edge was... she called me a has been and that I had an over sized ego."

  "Well..."

  "SOARIN!"

  "It isn’t not entirely false Rainbow you can act a bit egotistical from time to time and you have a short temper the only reason you have that disciplinary course record is because your temper had you run it like three to four times a day."

  "I know but..."

  "But nothing Rainbow tomorrow you go apologize to that mare... whatever her name is."

  "It's colorful but I guess she really got to me because she looks exactly like me when I was that age even our cutie marks are identical."

  "Like a universal twin thing?"

  "Exactly, I know what she said about me is true and that's why I lost my temper, it was like I was saying all those negative things about me right in my own face."

  "And you knew deep down they were true so you tried to counteract it and crossed a line."

Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes in hate at her husbands accurate take on the situation. "... I hate these talks."

Rainbow and Soarin give a small smile to one another, Soarin gently kissing Rainbow on the forehead turns off the lights in the room lying next to his wife on the bed. "So tomorrow?"

  "I apologize to her, you know we had a bet on that race and course."

  "What was the bet?"

"If she won and she did, she can leave in the middle of class for the rest of the semester."

  "Good thing for her you never win at gambling.  Remember when you lost over eight hundred bits in Los Pegasus?"

Rainbow kicks Soarin' in the side, he rolls off the bed laughing from his 'joke' despite the pain with every breath. "Ouch, hahahahha."

  "Go to sleep Soarin'."
