Load Full StoryNext Chapter

      Rainbow Dash grinned as she placed the last block of cloud into the walls of her newly made castle. This was gonna be so sweet! The girls were gonna be so proud, so awestruck! All of them would probably even fall in love with her! Dashing was her middle name, after all. Rainbow Dashing Dash. She thought for a moment, fluttering in place. No. That was lame. Rainbow Daring Dash sounded better. Yeah! Rainbow Daring Dash. Now that was a name to admire.

      She laughed triumphantly, flying back a little bit and letting her eyes sparkle at her own work. The Rainbow Castle was in business, baby! A room for every pony's favorite things! You bet! Rainbow was loyal to her friends, wasn't she? Every pony needed their own room.

      There was the critter corner for Fluttershy, containing a forest complete with wildlife and grass. Does anypony even know how hard it is to get grass to grow on a cloud? Really hard! Anyway, moving on.

      There was even a dressmaking boutique for Rarity. The cloths were gathered from all over Equestria, bought from the best markets. Eh, might as well buy them all. I've already missed almost all of the birthday presents I was gonna get her. The jewels were fine, too; just not the finest. They did get a bit dinged up when Rainbow tossed 'em around for fun. But, what's a pony gotta do, you know?

      Parties non-stop! Music blaring from bass-amplified subwoofers! Laser light shows and bumpin' punch! You know who this room is for, right? Twilight, of course! Ha. No. Just kidding. Pinkie's room was a gigantic conglomerate of streamers and lasers. The cake was alright, as Rainbow didn't want to spend too many bits on just a cake. It's not anypony's birthday or anything.

      Applejack's room was complete with ingredient to all sorts of sweet treats! There was sugar, flour, pie tins, of course there would be apples of all kinds, even whipped cream! This bakery was stocked full of whatever Rainbow Dash could find in the grocery isle that was in any possible way related to bakery. It's not like Applejack would toss a can of tomato juice into a pie, would she?..... Would she? Rainbow smacked her snout with a hoof. She should've got the tomato juice just in case.

      Twilight had her own room dedicated to books and magic and stuff. Blah, blah, blah. It was bad enough that Rainbow had to find somepony with the knowledge of magic, but to find a library's load worth of books? Dear Celestia! It took forever to find and bring up these books! I swear, it took maybe half the time of the construction of the Castle itself to do all of that book work! How does Twilight keep up with being a librarian and all? Can't the Daring Dash get a break?

      Of course, Rainbow made her own room. The Dash needed a release of some sort after all of that construction, right? Her room of delight contained multiple training machines and all sorts of obstacle courses. A treadmill if she ever felt like using her hooves and even a fan-accelerator so she could fly in place. It took a good bit of planning to get all of the course arranged, but it was worth it in the end. It looked so cool!

      Rainbow Dash trotted to one of the most ingenious parts of her castle; the Rainbow Factory. It was this little waste-basket, basically. But bigger. Maybe four times the size of a pony. But, if you tossed something in there, it destroyed it completely. But, the thing is, after the object was destroyed, a rainbow would appear from the side of the castle, the color that the object held illuminating quite noticeably. There were more factors to the color change, yes, but she couldn't explain it. Ask that old coot of a unicorn who helped her with Twilight's room and the Factory itself. He did all of the work. Besides the decor; that was all the Rainbow Daring Dash's doing.

      Rainbow then grinned at her spectacle once more before taking off from her Rainbow Castle. The moment of truth was now! Time to see the look on those mares faces! Rainbow giggled. Little did she know, something crept in the shadows right next to her.

      And it wanted her help. So to speak.
