Prolouge
Rainbow Dash sighed as she stopped yet again to wait for Fluttershy to catch up. "Come on 'Shy!" she called back, "If you don't hurry we'll never make it to the top of the mountain before night fall!"
Fluttershy sighed softly and tried to pick up the pace. "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash but this is as fast as I can-" she was cut off by something.
Rainbow Dash blinked, "Shy?" She tried to recapture the shy pink maned flyer's attention. "Fluttershy." she tried again, that's when she saw it, a small bundle of fluff was walking towards the edge of a nearby cliff. "Whoa!" she cried out.
Fluttershy's eyes went wide about the same time, she'd finally discovered the source of the sound that had distracted her. "Oh my goodness!" she cried as she took off to try and stop the small creature, this time leaving Rainbow Dash to catch up with her.
Fluttershy was almost half way to the cliff, and by default the small creature, by the time Rainbow Dash had reached her. Both mares flew on, straining against the mountain winds to reach what ever was perched on the cliff in time. But they were seconds to late, the small creature fell over the edge, her forelegs reaching out for something in the sky beyond.
Rainbow Dash froze up, her eyes widening at what she had just seen happen, but Fluttershy kept going. Angling into a nose dive Fluttershy went after the falling bundle of fluff and fur. She reached it just as it would have hit another cliff face, grabbing it just in time to pull up and save them both. Now that she had the small creature Fluttershy flew back up to Rainbow Dash at a much slower rate.
Rolling her eyes Rainbow dove down a bit to meet the shy Pegasus half way. Rainbow opened her mouth to speak, but was rendered speechless at what she saw in front of her. "'Shy is that a baby griffon?" she asked in utter disbelief. Fluttershy looked down at the bundle in her hooves, and sure enough staring up at her with teary eyes, downy fluff and all, was a newly hatched baby griffin.
Rainbow looked from Fluttershy to the baby griffin, to Fluttershy, and back again. While Fluttershy on the other hand was holding the hatchling close cooing to her in a soft voice and trying to stop both her tears and the blood that oozed from where here wings used to be.
Chapter one: Rainbows of Kindness
Fluttershy looked at the small fluffy bundle in her arms, tears entering her own eyes. "Rainbow look," she motioned to the baby's back, there between her shoulder blades where her wings should have been there was nothing but small bloody stumps.
Rainbow's eyes went as wide as dinner plates, "H-her wings." the rainbow maned flyer went a bit pale, "Someone ripped them right off." she looked around, eyes focused on the sky above and below them. "When I first saw her she was reaching out to something, maybe she was trying to go after her parents."
Fluttershy started to cuddle and coo down at the baby in her hooves, "That explains why she was crying, that's how I noticed her." Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow, "Dash we can't just leave her here."
Rainbow looked up to where the sun was moving behind the mountain and nodded, "She wouldn't last a minute up here alone." she shook her head, "Come on 'Shy, Twilight should know what to do." As the two flew back to Ponyville and the resident princess they could both fell themselves becoming quickly attached to the small bundle.
"R-rainbow," Fluttershy stuttered, "I-if Twilight says it's okay, then I'm going to a-adopt her." Rainbow suddenly stopped flying.
"You're what!" she turned around to be met by the Flutterglare, as the look she was getting had come to be known. The Flutterglare was powerful enough to stop a rampaging Angel Bunny at twenty paces, calm an angry bear in a flash, and send a Timber wolf running home to his alpha with just a glimpse. What had caused Rainbow to now be under it's control was the fact that when she'd screamed she'd startled awake the baby in Fluttershy's hooves, making her cry.
"Rainbow Prism Dash," Fluttershy scolded, "Look at what you've done, and I just got little Breezie to sleep too."
"B-breezie?" Rainbow asked eyes wide.
Fluttershy gave a firm nod, "Yes Breezie, it's short for Gentle Breeze." Rainbow's jaw dropped. "Rainbow stop it," Fluttershy stated, "She's all alone, and you know she'd be shunned in Griffonia because of what happened to her wings."
Rainbow tried to form coherint words then she sighed once more, "Okay fine, but if you're adopting her then so am I." she stated proudly, "You'll need some help and I know a bit more about Griffons than you do thanks to hanging out with Gilda like I did."
Fluttershy beamed at her as they landed in front of the crystal friendship palace, "Thanks Dashie." Fluttershy whispered with a soft nuzzle before walking in, Gentle Breeze cradled in her wings.
Rainbow walked ahead of them, keeping her keen eyes open for the lilac colored egg head, "Yo Twi you here?" she finally called out, once again putting herself at the mercy of the Flutterglare.
Twilight poked her head out of the library, where else, and trotted over, "Oh hi girls what's going on-" she stopped as soon as she spotted Gentle Breeze, "And is Fluttershy holding a Griffin hatchling?" at the double nod she was getting Twilight nodded herself, "Okay well then... Spike!"
Fluttershy pulled Gentle Breeze close and turned the Flutterglare onto the new Alicorn, "Really Twilight do you have to yell, you're scaring her."
