Chapters Why am I here?
Rainbow woke up, still on the rock pavement. She peeked over a railing to see Ponyville. A large group of people walked through town with signs saying BRING BACK RAINBOW DASH! Seeing this happen she sat down and cried into her arm. She now knew she had to live on her own. She had no help at all.
Starving, thirsty, exhausted, hurt, bored, sad, lonely. These were all her emotions. Nothing else. "I'm getting out of here." She muttered to herself and walked towards Ponyville.
There was a Giant gate with an electric barrier, glowing a Magentaish color. Spelled out in bold silver letters was the words DON'T COME BACK, RAINBOW DASH She was afraid ponies would forget about her. She walked back and looked through some trash bins for food and water. She found some eventually, and as she ate and drank, she thought to herself. "Where Am I? This place does not look familiar at all."
She fell down against the railing and watched the sky.
Twilight looked out of the window in her bedroom at the sunny day.
"What have I done?" She said, and heard the stampede of ponies with their signs. Twilight heard a knock on her door. "Oh, who could that be?" She muttered to herself as she walked down the steps to the door. Twi swung open the door with a strong force, nearly knocking it off its hinges, to see none other than Princess Celestia herself.
"Greetings, Princess Celestia. Can I help you?"
Celestia nodded.
"With what?" Twilight said
Celestia sighed, and pointed to the direction of where Twilight Sparkle's box of Elements of Harmony was, more specifically Rainbow's Element.
"Where Rainbow is? I don't know, Celestia."
She angrily glared at Twilight, and this made Twi start to sweat.
"She was one of the Mane 6, Miss Sparkle."
"I know, Celly."
"DON'T CALL ME CELLY!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT YOU DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sound made Twilight jump up in the air.
"Fine, I know where she went, or atleast... kind-of."
"TELL ME, TWILIGHT. WE NEED HER NOW.
"She went to the old road paving. And now I think she is in her house or something."
Celestia nodded and took off towards Dash's house.
What did I do? What if she finds out? What if.. What if.... RAINBOW NEVER COMES BACK????!!!?!?!?!?!?
A 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.
My time to show them how it feels...
It had been a month since Dash arrived in the orphanage. Everyone was her friend.
But one thing was bothering her.
"I'm getting my time in the spotlight."
EVERYPONY WIL KNOW THE NAME OF RAINBOW DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This was a thought in her mind. It would not go away.
A few days later.
A gray figure stood in her room. It would not take it's eyes off of Dash.
"I have a request from you Dash."
"Yea?"
"Help me with something."
"Sure, whatever your name is."
They walked downstairs.
Chapter 6: The First Victim Is Picked
(Rainbow Dash's P.O.V)
I Started My Way Towards The Barrier Holding Me Away From Ponyville. To My Surprise, It Was Gone.
"Well, That Was Easy." I Mumbled Under My Breath As I Continued My 'Adventure'
Eventually, I Reached My Destination.
"The CMC Clubhouse. Won't Be Crusading For Your Cutie Marks Much Longer Now, Huh?"
I Walked Up The Stairs Into The Clubhouse And, Of Course, The CMC were In There. How Helpful.
I Opened The Door Silently.
They Didn't Notice Me.
Apple Bloom And Sweetie Belle Looked Away.
Now Was My Chance.
I Grabbed Scootaloo, Covering Her Mouth With My Arm.
Gosh, I Hated Some Fillies. And Those Would Be The Ones Who ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!!!!
But Boy, Was Scoots Heavy.
But Atleast I got Her Back To The Basement.
(Scootaloo's P.O.V)
Darkness...
That's The Last Thing I Remember.
Now...
I Feel Myself Strapped Firmly To A Table.
Stuck.
This Echoed In My Mind.
But Then Something Else Came To Mind.
Sweetie Belle.
And...
Apple Bloom.
Were They Ok? Did They Get Strapped Down Too?
Thoughts Were Running So Fast In My Head That I Thought I Might Die Of Sweat Loss. Yes, Sweat Loss.
This Happened Until Somepony Put Their Hoof On My Head.
"Scootaloo, You Are Still Alive..!"
"Wake Up!"
I Opened My Eyes Quickly, And Things Slowly Started To Focus.
I Was In A Dark Room, With Desks And Little Objects On Them, Which I Couldn't Yet Make Out.
In Front Of Me Was A Cyan Pony With A Rainbow Mane...
Rainbow Dash!?!?!????!
Clearly Being Alerted, Dash Turned Her Head Towards Me.
Then She Opened Her Eyes.
Black And Soulless.
She Lifted Her Head To Show Me Something.
A Creepy Smile, (Very Unsettling)
And A Knife.
"W-W W-What Ar-Are You Go... going to do with that thing?" I Whisper Stammered.
All She Did Was Give An Insane Giggle...
And Pointed The Knife Towards Me.
Hold on, WHAT!?!?!?
Twilight screamed, shocked by the news. "Why would Rainbow do That?" She said, glaring at AppleJack closely. "Ah dunno, Sugarcube." AJ said softly. "But... But.. where is she?" Twilight yelled straight in AppleJack's face. "She's taking her test for the Wonderbolts, but-" She was cut off from her sentence through footsteps running out the door. AJ turned to face the wooden, slammed open door to see nothing but the rainy day of Ponyville.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright Rainbow. Deep Breaths. This is your final test. You can do it. You can join the Wonderbolts."
Rainbow thought this to herself on the clouds she was taking her test on. "TWEET!!" The whistle blew for the 5-minute start.
They were getting ready and "TAKEOFF EVERYPO-" Everypony taking the test was watching Twilight Sparkle run towards them in rage. A few whispers went through the group. "RAINBOW DASH, YOU THEIF!" Rainbow looked at her in confusion, as the other ponies glared at her and whispered to each other. "What are you talking about?" She said, looking around the sky. She looked down to see Twilight grabbing her by the ear. Twilight said back to the others "Continue." Nopony dared to argue with her so they continued.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well. I'm disappointed." Twilight said to Rainbow Dash, who was still confused and rubbing her ear that Twilight yanked her by. Rainbow looked at the ground and looked back up to see Twilight walking off. "AND DON'T COME BACK!" Twilight yelled.
Those last words made her cry herself to sleep. Don't come back... Don't come back...
Those words echoed in her head as she fell asleep.
Chapter 5: Deciding Her Fate
The gray pony walked downstairs into the basement of the orphanage. It appeared to be old, seeing that the room was covered in a thick layer of dust.
The two continued walking to the back of the room until she spoke.
"I know how this feels, Rainbow Dash. I felt it too."
"Well, um, ok, but umm, what's the request?"
"I want you to have this."
The gray figure handed Dash a small bottle containing a greenish-purple liquid which swirled around a black dot that darted around the
bottle nonstop.
"Ermm, ok."
She drank the bottle, without leaving a drop.
"Wow, that actually tasted pretty go-"
Rainbow dropped to the floor with a quick thud .
Heh.
IDIOT.
Rainbow felt her body fade out of unconsciousness. She opened her eyes, (despite them being super heavy) To see a black room.
She stood up and walked forward, revealing to statues.
One held a rainbow.
The other one held a black, blood red, and gray striped cloud.
Dash was walking towards the rainbow when she was suddenly attracted to the cloud, walking towards it.
She grabbed the cloud when she felt herself being sent into unconsciousness.
Rainbow Dash knew this feeling.
After about 5 minutes, she woke up.
And something happened.
Her thoughts turned dark.
An Image of one of her friends' cutie mark appeared in her mind.
"Well." Said Dash.
"i think I know who's first."
