The Orphanage
Chapter 3: The Orphanage
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA cold wind blew over the road, making Rainbow Dash shiver under the old blanket she found in the trash bins.
Eventually, she threw it aside, going to look for food. And water, maybe something to occupy her time. She knew one day, she would get back everything she lost. Rainbow would get her revenge on Twilight. She hated her more than anypony else (except AJ, of course.)
Dash found some crusty bread and a small bit of soda left in a can. She ate and drank like she was the hungriest pony in Equestria.
After having what was supposed to be dinner, She picked up the old blanket and tried to fall asleep, still crying in her arms as the now freezing wind and rain fell. In her mind she was thinking how it could be so sunny and then so cold.
The next day, she woke up to a wet ground, wet mane, wet tail, and wet blanket. She sniffled and got up.

About 2 weeks later....
"Ugh, my stomach..."
Rainbow moaned as she got up from the dry ground. she was sobbing and she was covered in cuts and blood from last night. She was tired, hurt, and hungry but went on with her day anyway.
"I'm getting out of here. I'm trying again."
She walked down the pavement, looking left and right for a place to stay.
Eventually Rainbow thought she saw a wall in the distance. Instead of walking, she ran. She sobbed as she ran, thinking of her home.
She made it, and in big, bold letters it said PONYVILLE ORPHANAGE
Dash opened the door and walked in. Inside was a small wooden desk, with a brown colt with a green tie and a darker-brown mane sitting there.
She walked towards the desk, and the brown colt looked up at her.
"Hello there! What would you like today?" He said, like nopony had come here a billion years.
"Umm... I'm here to stay..." Rainbow said, still sobbing to herself.
"Of course you can stay! For how long?"
"Until I go back to Ponyville." Dash replied back.
"Ok!" Let me show you to your room.
The colt got out of the desk area and walked down a corridor with labels saying names like "Candy Corn" and "Pumpkin Dance"
Dashie followed him.
They eventually got to a room with an empty label on the door. He took out a pen and a small, perfectly-cut piece of paper.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Dashie." She said, Not saying her real name for secret purposes.
"Nice to meet you, Dashie. I'm Doctor Whooves." He said, revealing his true name. "But, you can call me Doctor."
"Well then, Hi Doctor!" Dashie said, trying to act excited. But deep down, she was hurt, scared. Sad, alone. She had nopony by her side.
"We will leave you alone for the night, to let you get settled. Hope the room is fine." Doctor said, and walked back down the hallway.
A door opened and closed, and then the door next to Dash's opened.
"So, ya new here right? A light blue mare popped out of the door.
"Yea... What's your name? Dash asked the pony.
"Cotton Candy. What is your name?"
"Dashie."
"Cool name. Well, guess i'll see ya tomorrow. Bye, Dashie."
"Bye, Cotton Candy."
Rainbow walked into her room. It was a fancy room. A big bunk bed, a desk, a closet, stuffed animals, a couch and cushions, pictures, a calendar, a vanity, shelves, toys, a bedside table, a lamp, a big sign to write on, a bookshelf, a clock, a radio, art stuff, videogames, a computer, a phone, windows, a mirror, a rainbow carpet, boxes, makeup stuff, green and blue checkered flooring, a vase with flowers, a wardrobe, a glass casing, a fireplace, a cooler, posters, a window seat, a door to a bathroom, pillows and blankets, plants, headphones, a chandelier, a sphere lounge chair with pillows, a printer, a fan, another walk-in closet, a huge balcony overlooking Ponyville & Canterlot, a 120 inch flat-screen TV, a huge dollhouse, a lot of accessories, a lot of clothing, an IPad, an IPod, keychains, and a dream catcher.
"THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed to herself the second she opened the door. she ran inside and looked at everything.
"I'm gonna make sure Dash is ok. Y'know?"
Twilight Sparkle asked Apple Jack.
"I'm sure she's fine, Twi." AJ responded.
"I surely do wonder where she is though, darling." Rarity said back.
"Yea! I superbly duperbly luperly shluperly wuperly zuperly vuperly buperly want to know!" Pinkie Pie said, bouncing in circles.
"Umm.. uhhh... M-m-me t-to." Fluttershy said in the back of the group.
"Well, girls, c'mon!" Twilight said and walked out the door.
They made it to the bridge and saw... Nothing but a bit of crusty bread, an empty can of soda, some knocked over trash cans, some stood up trash cans, and a worn blanket. The 5 ponies ran towards the spot, frantically looking for Rainbow.
"Where is she?"
"Where could she Be?"
"WHAT."
"Where did she go?"
"Is she dead?"
"Is she in Ponyville?"
"Where did she go off to?"
All these words went across the group.
They walked back to Twilight's house, all sobbing as they walked.
