Rainbow Dash sat in the foyer of the Cloudsdale and Ponyville weather headquarters awaiting her appointment.

Bored, Rainbow looked around to take her mind off exactly how long she had been sitting in the room, it felt like hours to the pegasus, in reality it had only been about ten minutes.
She looked to her left and noticed the large room with around ten small cubicles built around a main hallway. She could hear the muffled conversations coming from the office area, none of which sounded at all exiting. In the two cubicles she could actually see into sat two pegasi, each of which looked about as happy as someone who has just been kicked out of their home with half a days notice.

How depressing, they couldn't pay me enough to sit there and work like that for an entire day. Rainbow thought to herself, feeling slight pity for the mares and stallions sitting in their cubicles.

Someone had set up an astro-turf minigolf course directly down the middle of the isle that separated the cubicles, if you could call it a course. There was only one goal.
The goal in question was a mug turned on its side that had the words 'Worlds best dad' written on its face, its handle had been broken off.

Well at least they got that going for them. Rainbow sighed, she didn't want to be here.

The door to her right was the office of a pegasus stallion named Snowfall, her boss. Rainbow didn't know why she had been called in to speak with the boss, whatever it was she was sure it couldn't be good. She hated talking to the stallion on the other side of that door, he wasn't unkind or spiteful, in fact it was the opposite that was her primary qualm with the buck.

Snowfall was the kind of stallion who always had a smile plastered on his lips and always (ALWAYS) made eye contact when speaking to you, worst of all it never seemed forced. It was apparently natural for the buck to be overly kind and understanding even during the most stressful times of his job.

'Creepy' was a word Rainbow Dash often associated with the unpleasantly pleasant stallion.

The door to her right slowly opened and revealed the wide-eyed, caring stare of Snowfall who immediately locked eyes with the rainbow maned mare.

"Ah, Rainbow Dash there you are." The stallions voice was soft and gentle. "Come in, come in." He called as he moved over to his side of the desk.

The stallion himself was not much bigger than Rainbow Dash in height or build. He was almost snow white with a short beige mane and tail and a cutie mark of a single snowflake. His eyes however were bright blue, which in combination with his 'always look people in the eye thing' made it seem as though the stallion was trying to stare into your soul.

Creepy!

Rainbow walked into the humble office of her boss and sat down on the her side of the desk, mentally noting the not-so-humble fish tank that took up the entire southern wall. Instead of having any fish, the tank instead contained about six clouds, each roughly the size of a pony's head that floated around and occasionally bumped into each other.

What a weirdo. Rainbow Dash though to herself.

"Let's get down to business shall we?" Came the rhetorical question from the stallion across the desk. "I called you in here to discuss an opportunity that you may be interested in."

Opportunity? Am I getting a raise?

Rainbow perked up at the word and decided that this might actually be worth listening to rather than zoning out and muttering 'uh huh' and 'yep' as was her previous plan.

"I'm listening." Replied Rainbow after waiting a few seconds for the stallion to continue.

Snowfall mused a moment, collecting his thoughts before continuing.

"You've been part of the Cloudsdale and Ponyville weather team for about three years now, is it safe to say you know your way round the seasons schedules?" Asked the buck.

"Like the back of my hoof." Rainbow grinned, lifting her hoof. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a red speck on her foreleg.

The heck is that? She lowered her hoof slower that she raised it, eyeing the speck.

The stallions smile widened. "Well it appears that one of the ponies in H.Q quit yesterday, and being the longest running member and most efficient worker of the manual labour division of the weather team, I am obligated to offer you the position." The stallion finished, looking into Rainbows eyes awaiting a response.

Rainbow smiled at being called the 'most efficient worker' of her weather team. She didn't however immediately realize she had just been offered a new job, it took her a few moments before it dawned on her.

"Uh okay, what kinda job are we talking about here?" Rainbow dash stumbled around her sentence, caught off-guard by the offer.

"Well you would be working in the office out there." He gestured to the hallway across the lobby.

Rainbow Dash deflated at that, not two minutes ago she was thinking about how unhappy those ponies looked.

Snowfall continued. "You would be organizing weather shipments from the Cloudsdale weather factory, writing plans for cloud location, creating schedules, that sort of thing." Snowfall paused a moment thinking about he could make this offer more attractive.
"Of course your pay would go up, you would no longer get paid the seventy bits per work day, instead you would go onto a wage of thirty eight bits per hour." The stallion smiled, eyes still locked with Rainbows.

Thirty eight bits an hour? That's almost as much a royal guard.

It was true that Rainbow currently only got paid seventy bits for an entire days work, but she always saw that as fair. The most she had ever worked in one day was forty-five minutes. If anything she thought she was getting over paid.

"And what about hours?" Rainbow asked, hoping it wouldn't be anything too strenuous, after all Rainbow was not prone to hard work.

"Well," The stallion gently raised a hoof and softly cleared his throat. "We generally work Monday through Wednesday sometimes more, sometimes less. Those days consisting of eight hour shifts with a 45 minute break, we get paid for seven and a half hours as the fifteen minute break is paid." Snowfall paused a moment, the flood of words halting as he did some quick math in his head. "Which, if my math is correct, and it always is, that's an average gross weekly income of eight hundred and fifty-five bits."

Snowfall had used his trump card, the position in question needed to be filled quite urgently what with winter starting next Wednesday, and he was more or less relying on Rainbow to take the job. Mentioning the pay would surely convince her.

Rainbows eyes widened at the amount of money she would be earning.

Eight hundred and fifty-five bits a week!? That's more money in a week than I've ever been able to save in six! Rainbow Dash was not good at saving money, spending it on the other hand...

Snowfall let her think about it a while before asking "So what do you think Rainbow Dash?"

"Uh," Rainbow didn't quite know what to say, the idea of working in that office with a bunch of depressed ponies didn't sound very good to her, but the promise of over double her current wage was very, very attractive. "Um, can I have a day to think this over? This is a lot to take in."

"Ooh sorry," Snowfalls winced with his eyes as he said it. "I'm going to have to know by this afternoon. Winter is coming you see, and this position needs to be filled A-S-A-P."

Do it you fool! Take the job!, This is just the thing you've been wanting, you can save some money while you wait for the Wonder bolt tryouts!

Rainbow thought back on the sad looking ponies working in the other room, filing documents, sorting cloud orders, tying noose knots, boring office work. It just wasn't her thing...

Think of the money!

Rainbow looked up at the alabaster stallion, and finally caved.

"Alright, Snowfall I'll take the job." Rainbow spoke finally, extending a hoof across the table to shake the stallions.

Apparently they can pay you enough to sit in there and work like that for an entire day.

Rainbow frowned at the thought. She was going to miss her old job; wake up a noon, kick a few clouds, go back to sleep. Already doubt had entered her mind regarding her new position.

"Awesome!" Replied snowfall, happiness evident in his tone. "Oh, one more thing," The stallion had purposely left this part until last. "you'll have to wear a tie." He finished.

Rainbow deadpanned.

Of course I do.

* * * * * *

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon in Cloudsdale, after Rainbow had left the weather office she decided that she would fly down to Ponyville and get something to eat, it was almost noon and she hadn't eaten anything all-day.

It really is a beautiful day, it'd be a real shame to be spending it indoors, working like a dog.

Rainbow noticed the cloud-statue in the middle of the square didn't have any floor beneath it, rather than navigate her way through the entire town to find the edge of cloudsdale Rainbow decided that she would just jump through the opening.

Come Monday you'll be the one indoors working like a dog, wasting these beautiful days, doing no exercise. You better not get fat.

Rainbow giggled at the mental image of her reclining in a heavily padded swivel chair, drinking coffee and munching down on a huge glazed donut.

Pfft, as if.

Rainbow jumped through the cloud layer and gave a single downward flap, the force of which rocketed her toward the town below, Rainbow Dash flapped her wings harder, pushing herself. A cone of condensation was forming around her two outstretched front hooves, her eyes were beginning to water and she could feel the pressure building around her. The air around her was getting thicker, at this speed it felt as if she were swimming through molasses. She was so close to a rainboom when her thoughts caught up to her.

Hmm, better not.

Rainbow slowed, the cone of pressure that had built up around her had shrunk and eventually disappeared completely. Rainbow stretched out her wings to their full span and began to glide down to Ponyville.

'As nice as it is, it is also quite loud.' The mayor's condescending words echoed through her mind.

'I'm sorry but I can't allow you to perform the sonic rainboom in the Ponyville area anymore, unless you have permission from either myself or sheriff Minuette.'

Dash shook her head to clear herself of the memory. Her thought's however wouldn't leave her alone.

The mayor doesn't like you, Rainbow Dash. After everything you've done for this town she still thinks you're a menace to society, If Twilight did a rainboom the mayor wouldn't bat an eye, but not you Rainbow Dash. Besides do you really think your stunts are only reason she thinks you're intolerable?

She knows.

She knows and she loathes you because of it.

Rainbow shook her head again, harder this time, trying to shake the horrid thoughts out of her head by force.

She was flying above Ponyville now, not ten metres above the thatched rooftops. She could see the roof of sugar cube corner coming into view, Rainbow banked toward her destination.

* * * * * *

"Oh hey, Pinkie." Rainbow Dash called across the main room of sugar cube corner.

"Well hiya Dashie! What brings you to our little slice of heaven today." Pinkie Pie replied over the counter, her usual cheery disposition was turned up to eleven today, then again, it was turned up to eleven every day. "Get it?"

After a moment of concentrating on what pinkie had said, realization slapped Rainbow in the face and she couldn't help but face-hoof at the terrible pun. She couldn't however stop the smile spreading across her face, her prior mood forgotten and replaced by a lighter happier position.

"I'm starving pinkie, I haven't eaten all-day, you have any quiche today? I could murder some quiche." Rainbow said, feeling cheerier already.
Pinkie reached into the warmed cabinet with a pair of pink tongs and pulled out a large (the largest) slice of quiche, slipping it into a white paper bag for Rainbow.

"That's uhh," Pinkie checked the price chart on her side of the cabinet. "Two bits." Pinkie hated making her friends pay for food, but it wasn't her call, the Cakes wouldn't be very happy if they found out Pinkie was giving handouts to her friends. One day, when she had her own bakery she could give out as much free stuff as she wanted.

Rainbow Dash tossed two bits on the counter and grabbed the paper bag in her teeth.

"Ooh I almost forgot," Pinkie stepped around the counter and joined dash. "Twilight came by earlier, said she needed all of us at her place this afternoon." Pinkie stated.

Rainbow dropped the bag onto a table and slid onto the accompanying bench seat. "Why's that?"

"Dunno, she said it was something to do with the map." Pinkie replied, now sitting opposite Dash.

"Ah crap," Rainbow blurted. "I hope I'm not needed, wherever it is. I can't go on any adventures for." Rainbow trailed off, thinking about how long she would need to settle into her new job, she also took into account that winter was starting next week. "Two weeks probably."

"Why's that?" Asked pinkie pie, a curious expression playing on her features.

"I just got a new job."

"Really!? That's great!" Pinkie was beaming. "But hang on, that means you won't be on the weather team anymore." Pinkie looked a little downtrodden at that.

"Well I technically am still on the weather team but now I'm working in the office if you can believe it. Imagine me, Rainbow Dash working as some pencil pushing zombie." Rainbow smiled despite herself. She looked over to her pink friend whilst she took a large bite of her quiche.

Pinkie was in fact having trouble believing it, her face was twisted with confusion. "Wow Dashie, they must be forking out some serious dough to turn you into a desk jockey, no offence." Pinkie teased.

"None taken." Rainbow said whilst chewing around a bite of quiche. At some point Mrs. Cake started manning the counter. "So what are you up to for the rest of the day?" Rainbow asked, wondering if she should let Pinkie get back to work.

"Not much. My shift finished pretty much the same time you walked in." Replied Pinkie, idly folding the paper bag from Rainbow's lunch into a rather bizarre-shaped paper plane.

The two friends sat and talked for a time, sharing stories from the last week of their lives. Rainbow talked about her new job, she made a particularly harsh comment about how stupid ties were. Pinkie spoke about the well coordinated mischievous escapades of Pound and Pumpkin and how they were getting more and more creative with their tactics. The two spoke and laughed until they decided it was time to get to Twilight's.

* * * * * *

The elements of harmony had eventually all shown up to Twilight's castle and were now sitting in their respective element thrones, all aside from Twilight who was trying to locate a specific book.
The other five elements watched as she accidentally toppled another pile of books stacked near her throne.

"Um Twilight," Fluttershy perked up. "Did you want some help with that?" Asked the shy yellow pegasus. "What is it you're loo-"

"Ah-ha!" announced Twilight, cutting off her friend. Twilight floated a book behind her as she moved to her seat.

"Alright girls!" Twilight started "I checked the map this morning and as it turns out we have a new mission." The room filled with silence as Twilight arranged her thoughts.

"It could be a long one though and we will have to leave as soon as possible." Twilight said, her horn flaring to life engulfing the table in a magical aura. Rainbow Dash felt she should speak up and let the other five elements know she wasn't going to be able to tag along on this adventure. Instead she held her tongue, waiting for Twilight to finish.

Twilight now had finished transforming the hard slate surface of the table into the beautiful map that showed a large majority of Equestria. From where she was sitting Rainbow Dash could see the cutie marks of Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were gravitating around a large city at the northern most point of the map. Rarity's and her own cutie mark however were nowhere to be seen.

At least I'll be able to go to work.

"Now where in Equestria is that?" Asked applejack, not sure where the map was pointing them.

"Oh Applejack," Rarity chimed in with a smug tone at her friends question. "it's right there." Rarity pointed a hoof to the city where her friends cutie marks were floating, a condescending grin plastered on her face. Applejack rolled her eyes.

"You know what I meant." Applejack shot back.

"'That', is Vanhoover and you" Twilight gestured to Applejack. "Pinkie, Fluttershy and I have a mission there, apparently. It's also the reason we need this," Twilight held up the book she had found. 'The Vanhoover Common Tongue', Apparently they speak a Prench based creole."

"What about Rainbow and myself?" Queried Rarity, the seamstress seemed a little down trodden at finding out she wasn't required on the field-trip, after all, her knowledge of the Prench language would certainly come in handy.

"Yeah, why are we even here, Twilight?" It was Rainbow's turn to badger the alicorn.

"Well, you might not have seen it yet but your cutie marks are in fact on the map." Assured Twilight.

The other five ponies in the room squinted to try and locate where the fashionista and the speedster's marks were hiding, after a short time Twilight chuckled.

"It took me a while to see it too." Twilight pointed a hoof to where Ponyville resided on the map.

The five friends looked to the town and sure enough two cutie marks hovered above the small village, slowly spinning in a circle. The two cutie marks however were tiny in comparison to the other four, only a quarter of their size. It was as if the two marks were not supposed to be noticed.

There was a moment of silence as Rarity and Rainbow mulled over their 'destination'.

"Wow." Rainbow deadpanned.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash, I am positively brimming with excitement." Rarity looked about as excited as a slice of cheese.

"Oh I'm sure something exiting will happen, after all if you weren't needed, the map wouldn't be showing your marks at all." Their shy yellow friend reasoned.

"That's right." Twilight confirmed. "There must be some important objective for you two to deal with in Ponyville."

"Whatever, I have to work anyway." Rainbow wanted to tell the rest of her friends about her new job but figured it probably wasn't worth wasting their time, speaking of which. "Hey what time are you guys leaving anyway?"

"Good Point, Rainbow." Twilight said, despite Rainbow not making a point. "Fluttershy, AJ, Pinkie, I'm sorry to drop this on you but we need to leave as soon as possible, I need you to go home and pack some warm clothes, it snows year round in Vanhoover. Then I need you to meet me back here in half an hour."

"Half an hour, oh dear." Spoke Fluttershy softly. "Twilight, can I ask Spike to look after my animals while we're gone?" Worry evident in the pegasus' tone.

"I'm sorry Fluttershy, Spike will be coming with us, we may very well need to send some letters, not only to the princess but to Ponyville as well. I'm expecting us to be gone at least a week." Twilight regretfully stated. Fluttershy frowned.

"Well seeing as I'm not leaving town I suppose I could keep an eye on your animal friends Fluttershy." Rarity volunteered, not exactly eager but nonetheless willing to help her friend.

"Oh, no that's okay, I've been teaching Angel how to look after the others, he's gotten very good at it." Fluttershy spoke with a smile, happy at the progress her pet rabbit had made. "This can be his.. trail run." Fluttershy finished, unsure if she was making the right decision. The rabbit was in fact much better behaved lately. Much better behaved when Fluttershy was around anyway.

Rarity didn't like the sound of that, her few run-ins with the rabbit had always left her with the impression that he was, in her own words, an 'Ill tempered little beast'. "Well at least let me check up on them once, I would hate for anything to happen to the little darlings."

"O-oh thank you Rarity, you're too kind." Fluttershy smiled at the unicorn.

"Oh my gosh I'm so excited!" Pinkie had been prancing around the outside of the chairs while the others spoke. "Im gonna go pack!" Pinkie declared before disappearing out the door in the blink of an eye. Not bothering to say goodbye to anybody.

"Twilight, if you want us to leave in half an hour why are we only here now? Applejack asked, obviously a little worried that she didn't have enough time.

Twilight looked down, slightly ashamed. "I thought there would be more trains." Twilight admitted "Sorry."

"It's alright darlin', just maybe a bit more warning next time." Applejack spoke sincerely, albeit a little dissapointed. The farm pony lifted herself from her chair and started her walk toward the door.Fluttershy joined her.

Before they could leave however Rarity spoke up. "So I guess we won't see you for a week, do take care of yourselves, I hear it gets tremendously cold up there." The snow white unicorn spoke, concern evident in her tone.

"We will Rarity, don't you worry." Fluttershy smiled as she spoke, she appreciated her friends concern.

"You two have fun now, ya hear?" Applejack said to Rarity and Rainbow Dash before turning with Fluttershy and leaving the room.

And then there were three. The only sound in the room was the clopping of hooves as Applejack and Fluttershy moved through that castle's halls.

"Any idea what our mission might be Twi?" Rainbow broke through the quiet as the alicorn busied herself with filling a saddlebag with various books.

"No clue." Came the response. "I'm sorry but you'll have to find out for yourselves." Twilight turned and smiled worriedly at her two remaining friends.

Rainbow got up to leave. "We'll figure it out, won't we Rares." The blue pegasus shot a determined look at Rarity.

"I'm sure we will Rainbow Dash." Rarity answered more for Twilight's sake than Rainbow's.
"Now you need to pack! Come along Rainbow, let's get out of Twilight's hair." Rarity started toward the exit of the room, Rainbow alongside her. "Have a nice time in the north!" Rarity practically sang as she and Rainbow left the room.

"We will!" Twilight sighed.

I hope.

Twilight mused, trying to figure out what the problem could be, If previous escapades involving the map had taught her anything it's that there would be no real way of knowing what the problem was until they arrived at their destination.
But what kind of problem could require the help of the elements of honesty, kindness and laughter, but not the elements of loyalty or generosity?

Twilight tried to stop thinking about it, she would have plenty of time to worry about it on the train ride.
Packing now, worrying later.

* * * * * *

"So, what are you up to this week." Rainbow asked idly, drinking in the sunlight as the two stepped out of Twilight's mansion.

"Oh nothing much," Came the reply. "I finished my winter line early this year hoping I could get some relaxation, but it appears the map has other plans." From the tone of Rarity's voice the pegasus could tell she wasn't happy about having to be on the lookout for possible map-related problems.

"Yeah, I'm sure it won't be anything major." Rainbow tried to reassure the unicorn.

"I hope not." Rarity looked at Rainbow just as the pegasus stretched her wings to take off. "I suppose we will be seeing each other at some point this week then?"

"I guess, see ya 'round Rarity." Rainbow Dash leapt upward and flew in the direction of her cloud home. Rarity stood alone with her thoughts.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity weren't the closest of friends, at this point Rarity was probably closer to Applejack than she was to Rainbow, at least she spoke to Applejack. Rarity had never held a conversation longer than two minutes with the brash pegasus. That's not to say the two didn't get along, they just didn't have any common interests, which left their conversations null and void of anything interesting for either parties.

Rarity looked at the rainbow contrail that was slowly fading into nothingness, her thoughts somewhere else. She turned toward Carousel Boutique and started to walk home.

* * * * * *

"Maow."

"Of course, dear," Rarity spoke in response to her cat's plea. "now, what would you like, tuna or salmon?"

"Moww"

"Tuna it is then!" Rarity opened a can of 'Swanky spread!' cat food with her magic and emptied the contents into Opalescence' bowl. Despite costing three bits extra, the cat food still looked as revolting as any of the other cheaper varieties of cat food on the market. Rarity had made the mistake of treating her cat to a 'fine' meal, and now the Persian refused to eat anything aside from expensive, pretentious cat food.

As long as it makes my little Opal happy.

Rarity threw away the can and trotted up the stairs into her bedroom. The large closet doors opened with a flourish of magic and out floated Rarity's favorite ensemble. A fluffy pink night robe with matching slippers for her front hooves.

Rarity donned the robe, loving the feeling of the astoundingly soft faux fur gliding across her own, hugging her curves and instantly warming her.

Rarity looked to her bookshelf as she slipped her hooves into the equally fuzzy shoes, the unicorn telekinetically picked up a book called 'The Lady and the Thief', the alabaster unicorn skimmed the blurb.

'After circumstances drive her out of her home, a young filly on the cusp of marehood must find her own way in the new and frightening outside world with only a tall, strong stranger as her guide. Will her companions dark past keep them from being together? Or will love prevail and..yada yada yada.'

Goodness gracious, why did I buy this sappy drivel.

Rarity put the book back in its rightful place on the shelf, rising above the temptation to put it in the trash. The white unicorn sorted through her small collection of books once more before settling on a novel called 'The House by Whitetail Lake' by Stallion king. A horror.

Ah much better.

Rarity totted downstairs and climbed onto her plush couch, the book floating behind her in an aura of magic. Using her magic the unicorn reached out the flip the sign on the front door around and locked the door. It wasn't quite closing time but the unicorn thought she deserved a little alone time.

It's okay to be a little bit selfish, Rarity.

With another spark of magic, the alabaster mare set alight her fireplace, changing the dull white light of the room to a warm yellow. The crackling of the fire and the warmth it provided made Rarity feel cosy and safe. Finally comfortable, Rarity opened her book and started to read.

* * * * * *

Rainbow Dash raced across the afternoon sky, hurtling toward her cloud home. As much as it shouldn't have, her day so far had exhausted her. All she had done so far was see her boss, talk to Pinkie and then sit in a chair for twenty minutes while Twilight talked about maps and Prench and other things the rainbow maned pegasus didn't listen to.

All the same Rainbow was worn out, mentally more than physically, she decided a nap would help bring her spirits back up.

Rainbow Dash touched down on the cloud platform that formed around the front of her large home. She decided, in a rare show of maturity that she would nap at her own house today, which was lucky (if you could call it that), because what she was about to find out couldn't wait any longer.

Rainbow noticed a note had been stapled to her door, yellow and black, making it easily noticeable. Rainbow's heart sank into her stomach as she read the first sentence.

By decree of the Cloudsdale Housing Association and under the safety legislation of chapter 3 section C of the Equestrian Housing safety regulations, this property is hereby 'residentially condemned', the current resident(s) of this structure have until midnight of the issue date to remove all belongings and evacuate the premises.

Reason for condemnation:

Structure has drifted into Everfree air space and is now at risk from disintegration by Everfree winds.

Cause(s):

Worn anchoring clouds failing to hold the structure in designated airspace.

To have this structure moved to its correct airspace and the anchoring clouds replaced, the Cloudsdale Housing Association can do so for a fee of 2000 Bits. This must be paid to the Cloudsdale Housing Association a maximum of one month after the issue date, beyond that date the structure will become 'structurally condemned' and be issued for demolition.

Any persons found on the premises after midnight of the issue date will be fined two hundred bits for every day they are found to occupy the premises.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Signed the president of the Cloudsdale Housing Association: Feather Fall.

Rainbow Dash finished reading the note, then she read it again. Rainbow was vaguely aware that she at some point had started shaking, but she didn't know what from. Anger? Confusion? Sorrow?

Rainbow's breathing grew fast and heavy. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes as the weight of the situation caught up with her. She Was beginning to hyperventilate and a horrible sinking feeling took over her stomach.

Don't you dare cry! Don't you fucking dare! Even now her thoughts wouldn't leave her alone.

Rainbow tried her best not to break down, but it was futile.

Rainbow Dash folded.

"AHHh-h-h!" The frustrated cry cracked and broke down into splutters as her shaking knees gave out, dropping the pegasus to the cloud floor. Her choking sobs forced the mare to concentrate on breathing.

Rainbow Dash finally pushed her face in between her forelegs, curled her legs beneath her, and for a time, she cried.

Author's Note

Authors note;

Hey thanks for reading my first ever go at writing (Anything). If you liked this and you want to find out what happens next, click the 'thumb up' button or leave a comment and I will get to work on the next chapter.

Minor revisions: 30-11-15
I apologise this may seem a tad slow paced, this was actually meant to be more of a prologue than an actual chapter but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. The paragraph formatting is also a little off since I copied this from a word document. I didn't realize fimfic had its own way of doing things.

TL;DR, The next chapter should be a bit better.

If you spot any errors, either grammatical or with consistency, please let me know and I will take care of that.
Im sure there will be errors, as this hasn't been pre-read by anybody other than myself and I was drunk for a good portion of writing this.

Go easy on me though, I bruise easily (Like a peach).

The cover image is my own work, feel free to use it.
