Dead Or Alive

Rainbow Dash sat in one of the many sleeping cars in what appeared to be first class. It was a rather large sleeping car, with clean pillows and blankets that smelt of mint, and a small window to view the outside world as they passed through what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, yet a place of delicate flowers and beautiful rosebushes. Rainbow Dash set her saddle pack to the side of her with half of it sticking outside the curtain that gave her a bit of privacy. She turned her head towards the window as she laid on her back and listened to the somewhat pleasant conversation the ponies in the sleeping car next to her.

The voices seemed to be male and female ponies. Despite the fact that they had been arguing, Rainbow Dash found it calming.

"I'm telling you hun Rainbow Dash is on this train car,"

"No she is not. Rainbow Dash has been living in the castle for months,"

"I heard she was sent out to find Princess Twilight after she broke into the castle and stole the Elements Of Harmony,"

"Ugh, your such a stallion. Just like when I met you,"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You find anything that has slight action interesting, or real. Like when that rumor went around town that the elements were transported into that comic book!"

"It was true!"

"Just because that silly dragon boy claimed it happened doesn't mean it's true. He's just the side character in their little duo,"

"He is not. Spike is a respected dragon. I mean, he traveled all the way to the dragon mountain and belly flopped into lava just so he could be considered a actual dragon!"

"Stop your blabbering..Besides he didn't belly flop into lava. He chickened out.."

"Yes he did!"

"No he didn't!"

"Yes..he...did!"

"Shut up and go to bed,"

"Fine honey..."

As the couple had begun to stop arguing, she dragged her her saddlepack all the way into her sleeping car and took out a cheap pair of headphones with pictures of her cutie mark on each of the things that held the muffs in place. She put them on to block out the noise of the other passengers talking and stared up at the ceiling of her cart. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and begun to think to herself.

"It's a trip how much strangers in this world know about you when you're famous. What was Rarity thinking? How could she possibly want to be famous when every little thing that has your name on it is talked about constantly. Every possible bad situation could be turned into a rumor about you, and worst of all, like Celestia said, they know your face from a mile away and they'll stop whatever they're doing to just bug the crap out of you, and secretly in your head you'll think to hate them because they oddly enough know so much about you, but than you'll feel guilty cause they're basically your idol so you'll spend more and more time with them and it's just annoying! Calm down Rainbow Dash. Just because a couple ponies where talking about you doesn't mean your famous...Well..I am the coolest pony ever! I was accepted into the Wonderbolts, I'm about to be captain of the royal guard when I come back with news about Twi so awesomely amazing that they decide to promote me a level higher than they said, and to top things off, I'm the last remaining element and I don't need everyone else to back me up on it this time! Loyalty is better than all those other elements. What were they? Oh yea, Applejack was annoyance, Rarity was annoyance, Fluttershy was annoyance, and Pinkie Pie, was Ann-annoyance...Stop trying to convince yourself into being happy Rainbow Dash. You miss your friend and you know it. Keep it together Rainbow Dash, you're way to cool for any of those losers! Oh what's the use Rainbow Dash...they where your one and only best friends and now they're gone because of that no good, evil.....misjudged Twilight Sparkle...You can't hide your feelings Rainbow. You know you miss all your friends. No matter how annoying or evil. Just be glad Celestia and Luna don't know what really got all your friends in their place. If they did, Twi would be wanted dead for sure and that wouldn't leave you very loyal if you where to kill your best friend would it Rainbow? At least the mayor of PonyVille offered to keep everything silent so no one in Ponyville would know the real reason why we no longer have any carnivals, or parties for that matter. Or anything fun basically. I don't deserve the life I have...I have fame like Rarity wanted, popularity like Pinkie wanted, I get to take care of Philomena at times like Fluttershy kinda wanted I guess, and I get to stay in the place I love and do what I love like Applejack wanted her whole life. Sadly none of them got to fulfill their dreams, and yet I did after I basically helped Twilight ruin their lives in a way. Ugh, just erase everything from your mind Rainbow..You'll be in Ponyville tomorrow...
