It’s like April right?” (Rainbow Dash - 23 years old - Fun Fact!: She was also the Hero of Scott Pilgrim volume 1!) “Yeah, it’s around April something. Hey! Big Mac is filming a new movie in town!” (Derpy Hooves - 25 Years old - Fun Fact!: She’s totally straight!” “Why do you care? Is he hot?” asked Dash. “Wasn't he in that Band Battle thing?” Derpy sighed, “No that was Soarin’.” Dash was puzzled, “Wasn't Soarin’ the guy I played a show with last week?” Derpy glared at Dash, “Can we talk about something else!?” Dash stopped, “Oh yeah, hey, I’m inviting Twi over for dinner in a couple days or whatever so you can meet her.” Derpy chuckled, “I already met her.” “What!” yelled Dash shocked. “Yeah, your sister introduced us at your show,” said Derpy. Dash started thinking, “How does Gilda know Twi??? Why does she know Twi???” she asked. Derpy stared at Dash, “I’m going to issue an ultimatum.” she said. “One of your famous ultimatums?” asked Dash. “It may live in infamy. You have to break up with Scoots tonight Dash, you have to okay?” said Derpy. Dash dropped her head, “But it’s hard!” she exclaimed. “If you don’t, I’m going to tell Twilight about Scootaloo, first thing when she walks through that door. I swear I’ll do it Rainbow.” Derpy said. “But no! You can’t do that! These are lies! Dirty ones!” yelled Dash. Derpy flew off leaving her behind, “Oh and I’m having a guy friend over tonight, so don’t come home.” Derpy yelled back. “But what! It’s both of our homes!” Dash yelled to her. “See you tomorrow Dashie,” said Derpy, speeding off into the distance. Dash yelled at her as she darted away, “You suck! Surprising nobody! If bad was a boot you’d fit it! You’re a stupid poo poo head! I had sexual relations with your mother! She wasn’t any good in bed!” ----+---- Dash stupid inside the chilled phone booth dialing the cold metals number keys. “Hey are you done with flight school? Do you want to...hangout or whatever,” said Dash. “Sure! Are you at home?” Scootaloo’s voice drifted from the phone. “No, I’m uhm, by the quill store, on a payphone,” Dash said. “The quill store huh...What are you wearing?” asked Scoots. Dash stood up straight, “What kind of question is that? What is this phone sex?” she asked. Scootaloo went on, “Phone sex, hahaha, no seriously. What are you wearing?” “Seriously? What? What are you talking about? Do you want to hangout or not?” said Dash, aggravated. “Seriously? Are you wearing that dorky jacket?” said Scootaloo. Dash looked around, “It’s not dorky! What are you, psychic or something?” “No, I’m right here,” said Scootaloo. Rainbow turned around to see her right outside the glass phone booth. (Scootaloo - 17 Years old - Fun Fact!: Shes totally obsessed with Dash!) ----+---- Dash and Scootaloo had went to the music shop to check out used cd’s and whatnot. “Ohh I can’t believe someone sold this!” yelled Scootaloo, picking up a cd case. Dash glanced over at her, “What is it?” she asked. “I love this band soooo much! They are so deep! Have you heard of them?” asked Scootaloo, picking up a album labeled, The Clash at Tartarus. “They are from Mane, I think. They’re playing here soon! I can’t wait!” Scootaloo was bouncing up and down. “Yeah...they are okay...” said Dash glaring at the case. Scootaloo turned to face Rainbow, head on, “Hey...I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place sometime for dinner, to meet my parents...?” she asked quietly. Dash avoided her gaze, “uhhhh, I don’t think that is a very good idea, it’s really bad, like so bad.” she said. “No...it’s okay...why not?” said Scoots. Dash scratched her head, “Well I’m...uhhh, too old for you!” she exclaimed. Scootaloo moved closer to Rainbow, “I don’t care....I’m...in...love,” she whispered. The words were like fire to Dash. Dash stepped away from her, “Hey, listen, I think we should break up or whatever...” she said. The two mares stared at each other, “Really?” whispered Scoots. Dash nodded her head slowly. “Oh...” Scootaloo said. As Dash flew to band practice, the pained face of Scootaloo was embedded in her head. Only the happiness of Twilight Sparkle could push these thoughts away. ----+---- “Where’s Scoots? She’s not coming tonight?” ( Applejack - The Talent - 22 Years Old ) ( Rarity - The Drummer - 23 Years Old ) ( Flutters - The Roommate - 20 Years Old ) Dash shook her head, “Nah we broke up, but maybe you will meet my new girlfriend soon! Check it out, I learned the bassline from the Daring Do video game!” said Dash. The ponies stared at her blankly. “Rainbow you are the salt of Equestria...” said Rarity. “Wha?” said Applejack. “Oh sorry, I meant, scum,” Rarity said. ----+---- “So this is the big night huh? Fattening her up for the kill?” Derpy laughed. “Hands off the food!” Rainbow yelled at her, as Derpy picked up a slice of bread. Derpy glared at her, “But theres soooo much,” she pouted. Dash pushed her towards the door, “There's only enough for me and Twi-Twi,” she said. Derpy stopped, “Twi-Twi? Are you seriously calling her that?” she asked. Dash laughed, “Not to her face.” *ding dong* “Oh god she’s here!” Dash yelled. Derpy pulled open the door, “Good evening,” she said. “Hey...uh Derpy right?” said Twilight. ( Twilight Sparkle - Magic Delivery Mare - Age Unknown - Everything Unknown - Fun Fact!: Unknown! ) Dash cut in front of Derpy, “Hey come in!” she laughed. “Derpy, isn’t it about time for you to get your coat on?” “Do you mind if I sit?” asked Twilight. “Sure!...Hey! You got a mane cut!” said Dash. “Yeah, do you like it,” said Twilight. Dash stared at Twilight’s shorter, dyed mane, “Yeah, it’s got two colors....” she said. Dash looked at Derpy for help. “It’s lovely and thoroughly hip,” said Derpy. “What she said,” said Rainbow. Twilight rolled her eyes. “So do I get a tour of the apartment?” asked Twilight. “Oh yeah, sure,” Dash said Derpy walked out the door into the snow, “You fillies have fun now,” she laughed. Dash pointed around the living room, “There's the bed, and you’ve already seen the chair--” “Wait? Is this the only room?” Twilight asked. Dash giggled, “No of course not, we have the bathroom over here.” “I see,” Twilight said. Dash walked into the kitchen part of the living room, “As you can see, dinner is pretty much ready,” she said. In front of them was a huge buffet of delicious foods. “Holy cow dude you can cook? I thought the apron was just for show,” Twilight laughed. Twilight and Dash found themselves lost in conversation as they ate, sitting on the carpet. “This is really good, I wish you had a table, but I’m impressed,” said Twilight. “Yeah sorry,” said Dash. “I can’t believe you made a load of garlic bread,” Twilight laughed. Dash picked up a slice, “Are you kidding? Garlic bread is my all time favorite food, I could eat it for every meal, or just forever without stopping.” Twilight stared at Dash, “But then you would get fat,” she chuckled. “I don’t think I would get fat,” said Rainbow. “You’d get totally fat,” Twi laughed. Dash dropped her bread, “Why would I get fat???” she asked. “Butter makes you fat. Bread makes you fat,” Twilight laughed. Dash’s face lit up in shock, “Bread makes you fat?!?!” And then: Dash and Twilight were locked around each other, laying on the flat mattress on Rainbow’s floor. Their lips and tongues wrestling as music played from the T.V. Twilight’s hoof swept over Dash’s head. “Your hair is getting pretty long,” she said. Rainbow immediately pulled away. “OH GOD I NEED A MANE CUT DON’T I?” she yelled. 431 Days ago, 3 hours since Dash’s last break up (Her ex blames the breakup on Dash’s short and jagged new mane cut, She’s been cutting her own mane ever since) “Well I don’t know, it’s kind of cute long,” said Twi. “BUT IT WOULD BE CUTER SHORT WOULDN'T IT?” Dash yelled. “I’m just saying, it’s getting pretty long...It’s cute okay?” said Twilight, trying to comfort Dash. Rainbow Dash laid on the bed, thinking of her last breakup. Chapter 8: The late Rainbow DashChapter 8: The Late Rainbow Dash Hoops walked down stairs, holding the edge, “I killed her.” he said. Rarity looked up at him, “Who?” “Rainbow Dash of course.” Hoops laughed. Rarity was staring down at Dash’s open casket. She was dressed in black, with Pinkie Pie and Colgate. Around her, other ponies whispered and stared. Dash looked up at Rarity from her casket, “Do you dream about this kind of thing often?” Rarity woke up. ----+---- Rarity rolled out of bed and trotted towards the bathroom. She turned on the light and hopped into the shower, carefully avoiding her roommate's clothes which were strewn out on the floor. After her shower, Rarity began brushing her teeth and getting dressed for work. Rarity sat on the steps of the stairs as she thought about her dreams. “Who the hell is making all that noise?” Yelled Carrot Top. “Oh...Rarity, I knew it.” Carrot Top, one of Rarity’s many roommates trotted down the stairs. Rarity turned around. “I’m tragically sorry to have woken you up so tragically early, Carrot Top, and I mean that. I really do.” “Well...well, good! You should be sorry!” She yelled. ----+---- The streets were pretty empty as Rarity made her way to the video rental store “No Account - Video” where she worked. “It’s almost 11:30 slacker,” Said Cherry Jubilee playfully, “Aww, you didn’t bring me a coffee?” Rarity took her seat by the computer next to Cherry, “What? A coffee? Cherry I have some bad news for you, I hate you okay?” Cherry was leaning on the table was her hooves on her chin. “You hate everypony Rarity...” Rarity smiled, “You’re one of everpony.” “Have you always been this way?” Said Jubilee. Rarity sipped her coffee, looking over at Cherry, “What way?” “Like a totally hateful bitch?” Said Jubilee, playing with her mane. Rarity looked at her desk, “Maybe I was a happy kid.” “I can’t even imagine,” Said Cherry. Rarity glared at her, “No you’re right, I was this totally serious kid, and a really angsty teenager. I probably only smiled or laughed when I was deluded into thinking it would make some jerk like me.” “You’re a holy terror Rarity, and I’m glad you're on my side.” Cherry walked over to the small T.V. they had, “Do you want me to put something on? I’m going to grab a coffee.” “Something really morbid and horrible?” Rarity said eagerly. Some Time Later... Rarity looked towards the door when she heard the bell ring. “Oh great it’s Rainbow Dash, cue applause,” She chuckled. Rainbow walked into and started looking around at the movies, “Oh cool you still work here?” She said. Dash approached the counter, “So uhm- I have to rent - I have a list hang on...” Rarity glared up at Rainbow, “What are you even doing here? You know about the universal ban on your guys’ accounts!” “What why?” said Dash, taken back. Rarity started typing on her computer, “Well let’s see, over 1000$ in late fees between you and Applejack. The computer screen: No account Video Account Management Member: Rainbow R. Dash Blocked Current fines: 508.24$ Notes: Returned “Equestria before time IV” 36 weeks late. She claims that mice hid the video somewhere in her apartment. Also claims she rented it as a joke. Do not let her rent anything. She is scum. Rainbow’s eyes widened in surprise, “I thought you erased that!” Rarity smiled, “Yeah right, like I’m worth a thousand dollars to this place!” “Can you rent these on your account then?” said Dash, handing Rarity her list. Rarity’s eyes scanned the paper, “What five movies? As if! What are these-- What’s the connection?” “It’s this dude, this guy, Big Mac,” said Dash. Rarity walked over to the videos on the list, “Wasn’t he on the cover of “Now” last week? Are you stalking him or what?” she laughed. “No, he’s in town, and Derpy found out that he’s Twilight’s second evil ex,” Said Rainbow. Rarity gave Dash a blank look. “I have to train by watching these movies he’s in, then go find him and fight him.” Dash said. “What!?!” Said Rarity. Dash failed her hooves, “It’s a long story! Read the book sometime!” Dash scratched her head and kept talking, “Anyways he’s evil and I have to fight him if I want to keep dating Twilight.” “Oh yeah, your new girlfriend. How do you actually know all this stuff anyways? Are you actually stalking him?” asked Rarity. “Derpy told me,” said Dash. “Derpy knows everything.” Rarity was moving around boxes full of videos, “Derpy who?” “Derpy Hooves! My cool gay roommate!” Dash exclaimed. “Oh right.” Rarity just kept working, “How did you end of living with that mare anyways?” “I’d rather not talk about it,” Said Dash. Rarity looked back at her, “Is it a very straight story?” said Rarity accusingly. Dash smiled weakly. “Somewhat straight yes.” Rarity carried the movies to the checkout counter, “Okay, anyways, how is Big Mac evil?” “He’s....uhm.” Dash stumbled. “Do you even know? Do you have any idea?” Rarity said lowly. Dash scratched her head, “Yeah Derpy told me, hold on...” Rarity sighed, “You have no idea, do you?” Dash’s eyes shot open, “Oh yeah! He’s evil because he’s a sellout!” “What?” Said Rarity. “Or maybe he’s a sellout because he’s evil?” Dash laughed. ----+---- Twilight skated down the the sidewalk to the coffee shop. She skated into the store and up to the front counter. She was about to order, but was soon interrupted by a familiar voice. “Hey Twilight!” Gilda said smiling, “Remember me?” “Hey Gilda! I didn’t know you worked here.” Twilight said. “I’m filling in for Diamond Tiara today. Wow, I love your mane!” Gilda said. Meanwhile... Just then Dash stood up as chills ran down her spine. “Are you ok?” Derpy asked, looking up from her magazine. “Ya...” Dash replied, “I just had this weird, ominous feeling for whatever reason.” “Anyways, here’s my dossier on Big Macintosh.” Derpy said, looking back to the magazine, “Did you start watching those movies?” “If you turn your head slightly, you’ll notice that one of them is playing right now.” Dash said. “Good, ok so, lots of stuff here...” Derpy continued, “Pro skater turned movie star... blah blah blah... You wouldn’t be interested in this part... He’s a sellout, I already told you that.” “Do I have to have any “special training”, or can I go back to playing Pony Hawk?” Dash asked. “It’s not “playing” Dash, its training.” Derpy corrected. “Okay, can I go back to training?” Dash sighed. Derpy shot Dash a death glare before replying, “Do five hundred push ups.” “What?! Aww... This sucks! What the hell!” Dash yelled, getting on the floor, “I hate training with you! You’re a terrible master!” “Suck it up.” Derpy said. ----+---- Dash and the others rocked out at band practice like usual. “I’M SO INFATIGABLE!!!” “C’MON C’MON” Afterwards... “Have you seen the new cover of “Now”?” said Flutters. “YESSS,” Dash scowled. Flutters held up the magazine to show “The Clash at Demonhead,” on the front page. “I dunno,” said Applejack, “Ah fer one think it’s purrty cool they are gettin’ recognized.“ Dash glared at her, “It is not cool!” Aj patted Rainbow on the back, “At least one of us made it,” she said. Dash smacked Applejack in the face with a pillow, “THIS IS NOT OVER! WE’RE GOING TO CRUSH HER CRAPPY ART SCHOOL POSER BAND!” Dash yelled. “Do I detect some latent hostility?” Said Rarity. Applejack tried dodging Dash, “They are just good Dashie, I’ll lend ya their cd.” “YOU'RE FIRED!!!” Rainbow yelled. ----+---- Rainbow and Twilight were riding the train to Dash’s house the next morning. “I wrote a song about you,” Dash said. Twilight looked at her, “Oh yeah?” “Yeah! It goes like this. TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILLLLGHT!!!” Dash sang. “Then there's this breakdown that goes like, dan dan dan dant dant. And then the second verse goes, TWILIGHT TWILIGHT WICKED TWILIGHT! It’s pretty epic.” Twilight was laughing uncontrollably, “I can’t wait to hear it.” ----+---- *Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg* Derpy looked up from playing video games to answer the phone. “Hello?” “Oh...is Dash there?” “Uhh no. Who’s this?” Said Derpy. “Oh uhm, it’s Scoots.” She said. Derpy sat up, “Ohhhh, she’s, out actually. She said she’d be back at 8 but--” Scootaloo interrupted her, “Oh well she said we were going to meet over there and maybe go out for coffee or something?!” Derpy slouched back down, “Well I don’t know about that, she’s really not here...” “Is it...would it be okay if I came over and waited for her to get back?” Said Scoots. “Wellll I mean, if you really want to. I’m not really doing anything interesting. Are you at home?” asked Derpy. “I’m actually a little closer to your place...” Scootaloo said. Derpy casually walked to the door and opened it. Scootaloo - 17 Years old “You have to go,” said Derpy. ----+---- Dash and Twilight walked towards Dash’s house, they crossed through a small park. “I’ve only seen, like, one of his movies. “I hope there’s a heaven,” or something.” Twilight said, walking ahead of Dash. “That one’s supposed to be good, but it was rented out.” Dash said, “Is this going to be really weird for you? Because, I mean, we can do something else.” “No, no, it’s cool.” Twilight replied, “I haven’t even seen him since Ponyville high, dude.” “I don't even remember my flight school girlfriend. Girlfriends.” Dash said, before correcting herself, “We can turn it off if it’s really bad.” After a while into the movie, Dash finally spoke, “This is really bad.” “I wish you had a couch.” Twilight sighed. “Where is the money, Creme?! Where is it?” Big Macintosh yelled in the movie. “Me too.” Dash said. “How hard can it be to get a couch?” Twilight asked, “I’ve gotten couches off the street.” “You don’t even have a couch.” Dash corrected. “I don’t have a TV, either!” Twilight said. “Well, I wish you had a couch!” Dash said, laughing. “This is not how we do it in my country!” Macintosh yelled on the screen. Just then Twilight’s head lit up, becoming brighter, like a small sun. “Your... Head...” Dash said looking up. “This is really bad.” Twilight said, changing the subject. “He’s kinda hot, though.” Dash said. “What?” Twilight asked. “Big Macintosh? Isn’t he?” Dash replied. “Oh, Celestia... I thought you were... dead!” Big Macintosh said, acting to look surprised, and doing a terrible job at it. “You think so?” Twilight said, looking up at Mac in the screen. “Come on. Totally!” Dash said, smiling. “He didn’t look like that in Ponyville high. He was like this whiny little greasy-maned skater.” Twilight said, “Maybe he’ll get it on with this mare soon and we’ll see his flank. Anyways, keep on convincing me you’re not straight, dude! You’re doing great!” “H-Hey!” Dash said, blushing. As the actors fought in the movie, Dash looked up at Twilight, “You’re cool, Twilight. I like you.” “You’re lame, but I like you anyway.” Twilight said wrapping her hooves around Dash, “Turn the movie off ♥.” Chapter 6: The new MareHoovesdale Public School - 7 Years ago (Rainbow Dash - 16 Years Old - Transfer Student) “What is this?” asked Dash. Three tall earth ponies were blocking her path to the entrance on the first day of her new school. One of them chuckled, “This is where you get your education!” The ponies moved in closer to Dash, cracking their knuckles viciously. “Are you serious?” asked Dash loudly, “I can’t believe this!” She angrily threw her bag to the ground and charged the ponies, “Let’s go!” Chapter 6: The New Mare As Dash sat outside the principal's office, wincing at her injuries, a pink earth pony went and sat next to her. “Whatcha in for?” she asked. Dash sat up and looked at her, “I got in a fight,” she said smiling, “An awesome fight.” “Did ya win?” asked the other pony. Sank in her chair, “Well...uh...no...” “Well at least yer honest!” said the pink pony. Dash sank a little lower. “I’m Pinkie Pie!” Dash perked up, “Rainbow Dash.” “Are you new here?” asked Pinkie. Dash laughed, “I’ve been here about 15 minutes.” “You’ve been here 15 minutes and you’ve already gotten beat up? We should be friends,” Pinkie laughed. Dash smile, “Yeah?” “Uh huh!” ----+---- “DASSSH!” Rainbow’s mom yelled from upstairs. “WHATTTT!?” Dash yelled back while she played video games. Dash’s mom’s voice drifted into the basement, “He’s obviously down there!” Dash heard footsteps on the stairs, “I don't even know anypony in this town!” she yelled. “Hiya!” said Pinkie, coming off the stairs. Dash wasn’t even paying attention, she too sucked into her video game, “What are you doing in my house?” she asked. “Your brother let me in,” Pinkie laughed. Dash’s eyes were glued to the TV, “This is ridiculous, no we can’t be friends.” “Are you playing video games? Do ya have any cupcakes?” Pinkie asked. Dash looked at her, “Yes and no! We only have muffins,” she said. Pinkie trotted back up the stairs, “I’ll ask your brother where they are, what's his name?” Dash was back to the video games, “Thunderlane! who are you?” ----+---- Pinkie sat next to Dash at the lunchroom, “Hey, have you read this yet?” she said, staring at her schedule. “What no!” Dash hated being bothered while eating. “English is next period...” said Pinkie. Dash turned to her, “Stop it, go away!” Pinkie continued eating her school lunch, “Have ever bought these apples? They taste horrible!” “My mom packs my lunch...” said Dash. Pinkie laughed, “What a sweet, innocent mare you are.” ----+---- Dash arrived at school to see Pinkie leaning against a tree by herself. “Hey,” said Dash. Pinkie was twiddling a leaf in her hooves, “Oh hey....Do you hate me?” ----+---- Rainbow’s dad picked off a slice of hay with his fork, “So who’s this Pinkie Pie, Dashie?” Gilda chuckled, “Dash’s girlfriend!” Dash scowled at Gilda, “She’s not even my girlfriend!” she yelled. Rainbow’s mom sat at the table with the rest of them, “Thunderlane! Supper time!” she yelled. “Dash you have a girlfriend?” said her mom, “Is she cute?” Gilda laughed more, “Yeah Dash tell us all about her!” “She’s not my girlfriend!” Dash yelled again, “I barely even know her!” Rainbow’s dad grinned, “Do you want her to be your girlfriend?” ----+---- “They make fun of you for only hanging out with me?” said Pinkie, “What are they? Five?” Dash was sitting on a curb with her, “I know huh.” Pinkie started thinking, “Didn’t you say your mom had guitar?” she asked. “What's your family like,” Dash asked. “....I don’t even want to talk about it,” said Pinkie. ----+---- The teacher picked up his roster and scanned down the names, “Uhm...new kid, Rainbow, you’re with Rarity okay?” he said. “Hello,” said Rarity as Dash pulled up a chair next to her. “Hey, what are we doing?” “It’s some stupid partner thing, you’ll probably slack right off and I’ll end up doing all the work,” she said lowly. “Uhm...My name is Dash...Nice to meet you?” she said. Rarity smiled, “Pleasures all mine.” ----+---- “Why do you want to start a band anyways? I mean I obviously suck at guitar,” said Dash. She was sitting on her bed, holding her mom’s old guitar. “Dash if we had a band, we would be cool! Even if we sucked.” said Pinkie, holding her bass guitar she got last year. “We would transcend our class status and become automatically cool!” “Class status,” said Dash, confused. “We’ll you know how I’m not a cheerleader and you’re not a jock?” said Pinkie. Dash’s eyes widened, “I’m...I’m such a jock.” “We could play for everyone at lunch!” said Pinkie. Dash thought, “We’ll there is only two of us?” she said. Pinkie smiled, “Drums would definitely help. ----+---- Dash scribbled on a map, trying to finish her work quickly. “You really suck at drawing,” said Rarity. “Maps are hard! I could draw it good if it was a lightning bolt!” Dash said in defense. “Lightning...what? Draw me some lightning!” said Rarity. Rainbow grabbed her pencil and draw a few straight lines coming out of a dark cloud. Dash was starting to struggle, “I forgot, does lightning have a swirl at the bottom, or are those tornados?” she asked. Rarity laughed, “That’s the worst lightning bolt I’ve ever seen.” Dash smiled, “What are you talking about! This is such a good bolt!” They continued working until Rarity broke the silence. “You hangout with that Pinkie girl a lot.” “I guess,” Dash said. “Are you two...like...going out?” ----+---- Dash and Pinkie Pie sat next to each other in auditorium as the school band played on stage. “Hey! That’s the girl from my geography class!” said Dash. “Which one? There are like a zillion girls on stage?” said Pinkie. “On drums!” said Dash, staring at Rarity calming play her school drum set. “She can totally play!” Pinkie looked up at her, “She is hitting those drums with those sticks, yeah.” she said. “Well I go get her some streamers.” ----+---- Rarity and her friend walked down the school halls, “Hey Dash,” Rarity said. “Oh hi. So the presentation is on Monday right? Is everything ready?” said Dash. Rarity smiled, “Yeah don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” she said. “Oh hey! This is Colgate,” she said gesturing to her friend, “Colgate, this is Dash, we have Geo together.” Colgate waved as her and Rarity kept walking. “So I’ll see you Monday, first period, haha” Dash yelled. ----+---- Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were sitting underneath a tree on a hill that overlooked the school. Leaves were falling around them on the cold autumn afternoon. “I think I like her...,” said Dash Pinkie turned, “What?” “Rarity...” Pinkie stared at Dash, “Like her? You barely even know her?” “I uh...meant, I’d like her to join our band,” Dash lied. Pinkie turned away from Dash, “Did you ask her yet?” Dash fell back and looked toward the sky, “I'll ask her on Monday...” MONDAY: Rainbow walked up into the front of the school, ponies of all sorts were knocked out on the ground. As soon as Dash walked into the school, Pinkie and Colgate ran up to her. “Dash! Omg! Dash! The Flight School boys came beat everyone up!” Pinkie yelled. Dash looked around at everyone, “Wow, what a great day to be late for school,” she laughed. “Dash! They took Rarity!” Pinkie yelled louder. “Our presentation!” Dash yelled. Hoovesdale Flight School: The Flight School Boys Turf!!! Dash was fighting through the waves of flight school bullies. “Hoops! I’m here! Don’t be a pussy!” she yelled out. Dash grabbed some colt she had just bucked, “Where’s Hoops!?” she yelled. “He’s....on....the rooftop.” Dash began sprinting to the staircase, but a large black colt blocked the way. “You’ll have to go through me first Rainbow Crash,” he laughed. Rainbow bucked him in the stomach sending him flying back, “Yeah, whatever.” ----+---- Dash burst through the rooftop door, “Rarity!” she yelled. Rarity was chained against a wall behind Hoops. “Let her go Hoops, I’ve beaten all your minions! You’re finished.” “Took you long enough,” said Hoops. “Dash...this sucks,” Rarity said quietly. Hoops started toward Dash, “Is this the best Hoovesdale Public school could muster?” he laughed. Dash charged him, “That’s not what your mom said last night!” Dash punched Hoops in the face and he retaliated quickly. They fought for a lengthy amount of time, but Dash’s rage gave her an advantage. Hoops was on his knees, bloodied and broken. “Mercy please...I’ve been a fool!” he gasped. “You’ll never change,” said Rainbow as she kicked Hoops off the rooftop. Rainbow walked over to Rarity, un-chaining her. “Oh Dash! I didn’t know who’d rescue me from that maniac but I secretly hoped it would be you!” Rarity said. Dash held her in her arms, “I like you Rarity, we should be dating. Also do you want to play drums in my band?” Rarity leaned toward Dash, “Yes Rainbow, oh yes!” she said as they kissed. ----+---- And so: Dash, Rarity, Pinkie and Colgate enjoyed the rest of highschool together. They practiced for Colgate and then began to play band shows at lunch. Rarity and Dash had spent a lot of intimate time together over the years, but all good things come to an end. “You’re” moving to Ponyville?” said Rarity. Dash nodded. And soon enough she was gone, out of Rarity’s life, until they met again. ----+---- 23 year old Dash was sitting on her old houses couch, playing video games when Twilight rode by. “Are you dreaming about playing video games?” she asked. Dash looked up at her, “Apparently,” she responded. Twilight laughed, “That’s so pathetic!” “You wouldn't believe how great this game is...”
Chapter 7: Dating a Flight Schooler part IIChapter 7: Dating a Flight Schooler part II “It’s almost nice out....” said Dash as she was flying around with Derpy. “I mean it’s about time right? It’s like April right?” (Rainbow Dash - 23 years old - Fun Fact!: She was also the Hero of Scott Pilgrim volume 1!) “Yeah, it’s around April something. Hey! Big Mac is filming a new movie in town!” (Derpy Hooves - 25 Years old - Fun Fact!: She’s totally straight!” “Why do you care? Is he hot?” asked Dash. “Wasn't he in that Band Battle thing?” Derpy sighed, “No that was Soarin’.” Dash was puzzled, “Wasn't Soarin’ the guy I played a show with last week?” Derpy glared at Dash, “Can we talk about something else!?” Dash stopped, “Oh yeah, hey, I’m inviting Twi over for dinner in a couple days or whatever so you can meet her.” Derpy chuckled, “I already met her.” “What!” yelled Dash shocked. “Yeah, your sister introduced us at your show,” said Derpy. Dash started thinking, “How does Gilda know Twi??? Why does she know Twi???” she asked. Derpy stared at Dash, “I’m going to issue an ultimatum.” she said. “One of your famous ultimatums?” asked Dash. “It may live in infamy. You have to break up with Scoots tonight Dash, you have to okay?” said Derpy. Dash dropped her head, “But it’s hard!” she exclaimed. “If you don’t, I’m going to tell Twilight about Scootaloo, first thing when she walks through that door. I swear I’ll do it Rainbow.” Derpy said. “But no! You can’t do that! These are lies! Dirty ones!” yelled Dash. Derpy flew off leaving her behind, “Oh and I’m having a guy friend over tonight, so don’t come home.” Derpy yelled back. “But what! It’s both of our homes!” Dash yelled to her. “See you tomorrow Dashie,” said Derpy, speeding off into the distance. Dash yelled at her as she darted away, “You suck! Surprising nobody! If bad was a boot you’d fit it! You’re a stupid poo poo head! I had sexual relations with your mother! She wasn’t any good in bed!” ----+---- Dash stupid inside the chilled phone booth dialing the cold metals number keys. “Hey are you done with flight school? Do you want to...hangout or whatever,” said Dash. “Sure! Are you at home?” Scootaloo’s voice drifted from the phone. “No, I’m uhm, by the quill store, on a payphone,” Dash said. “The quill store huh...What are you wearing?” asked Scoots. Dash stood up straight, “What kind of question is that? What is this phone sex?” she asked. Scootaloo went on, “Phone sex, hahaha, no seriously. What are you wearing?” “Seriously? What? What are you talking about? Do you want to hangout or not?” said Dash, aggravated. “Seriously? Are you wearing that dorky jacket?” said Scootaloo. Dash looked around, “It’s not dorky! What are you, psychic or something?” “No, I’m right here,” said Scootaloo. Rainbow turned around to see her right outside the glass phone booth. (Scootaloo - 17 Years old - Fun Fact!: Shes totally obsessed with Dash!) ----+---- Dash and Scootaloo had went to the music shop to check out used cd’s and whatnot. “Ohh I can’t believe someone sold this!” yelled Scootaloo, picking up a cd case. Dash glanced over at her, “What is it?” she asked. “I love this band soooo much! They are so deep! Have you heard of them?” asked Scootaloo, picking up a album labeled, The Clash at Tartarus. “They are from Mane, I think. They’re playing here soon! I can’t wait!” Scootaloo was bouncing up and down. “Yeah...they are okay...” said Dash glaring at the case. Scootaloo turned to face Rainbow, head on, “Hey...I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place sometime for dinner, to meet my parents...?” she asked quietly. Dash avoided her gaze, “uhhhh, I don’t think that is a very good idea, it’s really bad, like so bad.” she said. “No...it’s okay...why not?” said Scoots. Dash scratched her head, “Well I’m...uhhh, too old for you!” she exclaimed. Scootaloo moved closer to Rainbow, “I don’t care....I’m...in...love,” she whispered. The words were like fire to Dash. Dash stepped away from her, “Hey, listen, I think we should break up or whatever...” she said. The two mares stared at each other, “Really?” whispered Scoots. Dash nodded her head slowly. “Oh...” Scootaloo said. As Dash flew to band practice, the pained face of Scootaloo was embedded in her head. Only the happiness of Twilight Sparkle could push these thoughts away. ----+---- “Where’s Scoots? She’s not coming tonight?” ( Applejack - The Talent - 22 Years Old ) ( Rarity - The Drummer - 23 Years Old ) ( Flutters - The Roommate - 20 Years Old ) Dash shook her head, “Nah we broke up, but maybe you will meet my new girlfriend soon! Check it out, I learned the bassline from the Daring Do video game!” said Dash. The ponies stared at her blankly. “Rainbow you are the salt of Equestria...” said Rarity. “Wha?” said Applejack. “Oh sorry, I meant, scum,” Rarity said. ----+---- “So this is the big night huh? Fattening her up for the kill?” Derpy laughed. “Hands off the food!” Rainbow yelled at her, as Derpy picked up a slice of bread. Derpy glared at her, “But theres soooo much,” she pouted. Dash pushed her towards the door, “There's only enough for me and Twi-Twi,” she said. Derpy stopped, “Twi-Twi? Are you seriously calling her that?” she asked. Dash laughed, “Not to her face.” *ding dong* “Oh god she’s here!” Dash yelled. Derpy pulled open the door, “Good evening,” she said. “Hey...uh Derpy right?” said Twilight. ( Twilight Sparkle - Magic Delivery Mare - Age Unknown - Everything Unknown - Fun Fact!: Unknown! ) Dash cut in front of Derpy, “Hey come in!” she laughed. “Derpy, isn’t it about time for you to get your coat on?” “Do you mind if I sit?” asked Twilight. “Sure!...Hey! You got a mane cut!” said Dash. “Yeah, do you like it,” said Twilight. Dash stared at Twilight’s shorter, dyed mane, “Yeah, it’s got two colors....” she said. Dash looked at Derpy for help. “It’s lovely and thoroughly hip,” said Derpy. “What she said,” said Rainbow. Twilight rolled her eyes. “So do I get a tour of the apartment?” asked Twilight. “Oh yeah, sure,” Dash said Derpy walked out the door into the snow, “You fillies have fun now,” she laughed. Dash pointed around the living room, “There's the bed, and you’ve already seen the chair--” “Wait? Is this the only room?” Twilight asked. Dash giggled, “No of course not, we have the bathroom over here.” “I see,” Twilight said. Dash walked into the kitchen part of the living room, “As you can see, dinner is pretty much ready,” she said. In front of them was a huge buffet of delicious foods. “Holy cow dude you can cook? I thought the apron was just for show,” Twilight laughed. Twilight and Dash found themselves lost in conversation as they ate, sitting on the carpet. “This is really good, I wish you had a table, but I’m impressed,” said Twilight. “Yeah sorry,” said Dash. “I can’t believe you made a load of garlic bread,” Twilight laughed. Dash picked up a slice, “Are you kidding? Garlic bread is my all time favorite food, I could eat it for every meal, or just forever without stopping.” Twilight stared at Dash, “But then you would get fat,” she chuckled. “I don’t think I would get fat,” said Rainbow. “You’d get totally fat,” Twi laughed. Dash dropped her bread, “Why would I get fat???” she asked. “Butter makes you fat. Bread makes you fat,” Twilight laughed. Dash’s face lit up in shock, “Bread makes you fat?!?!” And then: Dash and Twilight were locked around each other, laying on the flat mattress on Rainbow’s floor. Their lips and tongues wrestling as music played from the T.V. Twilight’s hoof swept over Dash’s head. “Your hair is getting pretty long,” she said. Rainbow immediately pulled away. “OH GOD I NEED A MANE CUT DON’T I?” she yelled. 431 Days ago, 3 hours since Dash’s last break up (Her ex blames the breakup on Dash’s short and jagged new mane cut, She’s been cutting her own mane ever since) “Well I don’t know, it’s kind of cute long,” said Twi. “BUT IT WOULD BE CUTER SHORT WOULDN'T IT?” Dash yelled. “I’m just saying, it’s getting pretty long...It’s cute okay?” said Twilight, trying to comfort Dash. Rainbow Dash laid on the bed, thinking of her last breakup.
Chapter 8: The late Rainbow DashChapter 8: The Late Rainbow Dash Hoops walked down stairs, holding the edge, “I killed her.” he said. Rarity looked up at him, “Who?” “Rainbow Dash of course.” Hoops laughed. Rarity was staring down at Dash’s open casket. She was dressed in black, with Pinkie Pie and Colgate. Around her, other ponies whispered and stared. Dash looked up at Rarity from her casket, “Do you dream about this kind of thing often?” Rarity woke up. ----+---- Rarity rolled out of bed and trotted towards the bathroom. She turned on the light and hopped into the shower, carefully avoiding her roommate's clothes which were strewn out on the floor. After her shower, Rarity began brushing her teeth and getting dressed for work. Rarity sat on the steps of the stairs as she thought about her dreams. “Who the hell is making all that noise?” Yelled Carrot Top. “Oh...Rarity, I knew it.” Carrot Top, one of Rarity’s many roommates trotted down the stairs. Rarity turned around. “I’m tragically sorry to have woken you up so tragically early, Carrot Top, and I mean that. I really do.” “Well...well, good! You should be sorry!” She yelled. ----+---- The streets were pretty empty as Rarity made her way to the video rental store “No Account - Video” where she worked. “It’s almost 11:30 slacker,” Said Cherry Jubilee playfully, “Aww, you didn’t bring me a coffee?” Rarity took her seat by the computer next to Cherry, “What? A coffee? Cherry I have some bad news for you, I hate you okay?” Cherry was leaning on the table was her hooves on her chin. “You hate everypony Rarity...” Rarity smiled, “You’re one of everpony.” “Have you always been this way?” Said Jubilee. Rarity sipped her coffee, looking over at Cherry, “What way?” “Like a totally hateful bitch?” Said Jubilee, playing with her mane. Rarity looked at her desk, “Maybe I was a happy kid.” “I can’t even imagine,” Said Cherry. Rarity glared at her, “No you’re right, I was this totally serious kid, and a really angsty teenager. I probably only smiled or laughed when I was deluded into thinking it would make some jerk like me.” “You’re a holy terror Rarity, and I’m glad you're on my side.” Cherry walked over to the small T.V. they had, “Do you want me to put something on? I’m going to grab a coffee.” “Something really morbid and horrible?” Rarity said eagerly. Some Time Later... Rarity looked towards the door when she heard the bell ring. “Oh great it’s Rainbow Dash, cue applause,” She chuckled. Rainbow walked into and started looking around at the movies, “Oh cool you still work here?” She said. Dash approached the counter, “So uhm- I have to rent - I have a list hang on...” Rarity glared up at Rainbow, “What are you even doing here? You know about the universal ban on your guys’ accounts!” “What why?” said Dash, taken back. Rarity started typing on her computer, “Well let’s see, over 1000$ in late fees between you and Applejack. The computer screen: No account Video Account Management Member: Rainbow R. Dash Blocked Current fines: 508.24$ Notes: Returned “Equestria before time IV” 36 weeks late. She claims that mice hid the video somewhere in her apartment. Also claims she rented it as a joke. Do not let her rent anything. She is scum. Rainbow’s eyes widened in surprise, “I thought you erased that!” Rarity smiled, “Yeah right, like I’m worth a thousand dollars to this place!” “Can you rent these on your account then?” said Dash, handing Rarity her list. Rarity’s eyes scanned the paper, “What five movies? As if! What are these-- What’s the connection?” “It’s this dude, this guy, Big Mac,” said Dash. Rarity walked over to the videos on the list, “Wasn’t he on the cover of “Now” last week? Are you stalking him or what?” she laughed. “No, he’s in town, and Derpy found out that he’s Twilight’s second evil ex,” Said Rainbow. Rarity gave Dash a blank look. “I have to train by watching these movies he’s in, then go find him and fight him.” Dash said. “What!?!” Said Rarity. Dash failed her hooves, “It’s a long story! Read the book sometime!” Dash scratched her head and kept talking, “Anyways he’s evil and I have to fight him if I want to keep dating Twilight.” “Oh yeah, your new girlfriend. How do you actually know all this stuff anyways? Are you actually stalking him?” asked Rarity. “Derpy told me,” said Dash. “Derpy knows everything.” Rarity was moving around boxes full of videos, “Derpy who?” “Derpy Hooves! My cool gay roommate!” Dash exclaimed. “Oh right.” Rarity just kept working, “How did you end of living with that mare anyways?” “I’d rather not talk about it,” Said Dash. Rarity looked back at her, “Is it a very straight story?” said Rarity accusingly. Dash smiled weakly. “Somewhat straight yes.” Rarity carried the movies to the checkout counter, “Okay, anyways, how is Big Mac evil?” “He’s....uhm.” Dash stumbled. “Do you even know? Do you have any idea?” Rarity said lowly. Dash scratched her head, “Yeah Derpy told me, hold on...” Rarity sighed, “You have no idea, do you?” Dash’s eyes shot open, “Oh yeah! He’s evil because he’s a sellout!” “What?” Said Rarity. “Or maybe he’s a sellout because he’s evil?” Dash laughed. ----+---- Twilight skated down the the sidewalk to the coffee shop. She skated into the store and up to the front counter. She was about to order, but was soon interrupted by a familiar voice. “Hey Twilight!” Gilda said smiling, “Remember me?” “Hey Gilda! I didn’t know you worked here.” Twilight said. “I’m filling in for Diamond Tiara today. Wow, I love your mane!” Gilda said. Meanwhile... Just then Dash stood up as chills ran down her spine. “Are you ok?” Derpy asked, looking up from her magazine. “Ya...” Dash replied, “I just had this weird, ominous feeling for whatever reason.” “Anyways, here’s my dossier on Big Macintosh.” Derpy said, looking back to the magazine, “Did you start watching those movies?” “If you turn your head slightly, you’ll notice that one of them is playing right now.” Dash said. “Good, ok so, lots of stuff here...” Derpy continued, “Pro skater turned movie star... blah blah blah... You wouldn’t be interested in this part... He’s a sellout, I already told you that.” “Do I have to have any “special training”, or can I go back to playing Pony Hawk?” Dash asked. “It’s not “playing” Dash, its training.” Derpy corrected. “Okay, can I go back to training?” Dash sighed. Derpy shot Dash a death glare before replying, “Do five hundred push ups.” “What?! Aww... This sucks! What the hell!” Dash yelled, getting on the floor, “I hate training with you! You’re a terrible master!” “Suck it up.” Derpy said. ----+---- Dash and the others rocked out at band practice like usual. “I’M SO INFATIGABLE!!!” “C’MON C’MON” Afterwards... “Have you seen the new cover of “Now”?” said Flutters. “YESSS,” Dash scowled. Flutters held up the magazine to show “The Clash at Demonhead,” on the front page. “I dunno,” said Applejack, “Ah fer one think it’s purrty cool they are gettin’ recognized.“ Dash glared at her, “It is not cool!” Aj patted Rainbow on the back, “At least one of us made it,” she said. Dash smacked Applejack in the face with a pillow, “THIS IS NOT OVER! WE’RE GOING TO CRUSH HER CRAPPY ART SCHOOL POSER BAND!” Dash yelled. “Do I detect some latent hostility?” Said Rarity. Applejack tried dodging Dash, “They are just good Dashie, I’ll lend ya their cd.” “YOU'RE FIRED!!!” Rainbow yelled. ----+---- Rainbow and Twilight were riding the train to Dash’s house the next morning. “I wrote a song about you,” Dash said. Twilight looked at her, “Oh yeah?” “Yeah! It goes like this. TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILLLLGHT!!!” Dash sang. “Then there's this breakdown that goes like, dan dan dan dant dant. And then the second verse goes, TWILIGHT TWILIGHT WICKED TWILIGHT! It’s pretty epic.” Twilight was laughing uncontrollably, “I can’t wait to hear it.” ----+---- *Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg* Derpy looked up from playing video games to answer the phone. “Hello?” “Oh...is Dash there?” “Uhh no. Who’s this?” Said Derpy. “Oh uhm, it’s Scoots.” She said. Derpy sat up, “Ohhhh, she’s, out actually. She said she’d be back at 8 but--” Scootaloo interrupted her, “Oh well she said we were going to meet over there and maybe go out for coffee or something?!” Derpy slouched back down, “Well I don’t know about that, she’s really not here...” “Is it...would it be okay if I came over and waited for her to get back?” Said Scoots. “Wellll I mean, if you really want to. I’m not really doing anything interesting. Are you at home?” asked Derpy. “I’m actually a little closer to your place...” Scootaloo said. Derpy casually walked to the door and opened it. Scootaloo - 17 Years old “You have to go,” said Derpy. ----+---- Dash and Twilight walked towards Dash’s house, they crossed through a small park. “I’ve only seen, like, one of his movies. “I hope there’s a heaven,” or something.” Twilight said, walking ahead of Dash. “That one’s supposed to be good, but it was rented out.” Dash said, “Is this going to be really weird for you? Because, I mean, we can do something else.” “No, no, it’s cool.” Twilight replied, “I haven’t even seen him since Ponyville high, dude.” “I don't even remember my flight school girlfriend. Girlfriends.” Dash said, before correcting herself, “We can turn it off if it’s really bad.” After a while into the movie, Dash finally spoke, “This is really bad.” “I wish you had a couch.” Twilight sighed. “Where is the money, Creme?! Where is it?” Big Macintosh yelled in the movie. “Me too.” Dash said. “How hard can it be to get a couch?” Twilight asked, “I’ve gotten couches off the street.” “You don’t even have a couch.” Dash corrected. “I don’t have a TV, either!” Twilight said. “Well, I wish you had a couch!” Dash said, laughing. “This is not how we do it in my country!” Macintosh yelled on the screen. Just then Twilight’s head lit up, becoming brighter, like a small sun. “Your... Head...” Dash said looking up. “This is really bad.” Twilight said, changing the subject. “He’s kinda hot, though.” Dash said. “What?” Twilight asked. “Big Macintosh? Isn’t he?” Dash replied. “Oh, Celestia... I thought you were... dead!” Big Macintosh said, acting to look surprised, and doing a terrible job at it. “You think so?” Twilight said, looking up at Mac in the screen. “Come on. Totally!” Dash said, smiling. “He didn’t look like that in Ponyville high. He was like this whiny little greasy-maned skater.” Twilight said, “Maybe he’ll get it on with this mare soon and we’ll see his flank. Anyways, keep on convincing me you’re not straight, dude! You’re doing great!” “H-Hey!” Dash said, blushing. As the actors fought in the movie, Dash looked up at Twilight, “You’re cool, Twilight. I like you.” “You’re lame, but I like you anyway.” Twilight said wrapping her hooves around Dash, “Turn the movie off ♥.”
Chapter 6: The new MareHoovesdale Public School - 7 Years ago (Rainbow Dash - 16 Years Old - Transfer Student) “What is this?” asked Dash. Three tall earth ponies were blocking her path to the entrance on the first day of her new school. One of them chuckled, “This is where you get your education!” The ponies moved in closer to Dash, cracking their knuckles viciously. “Are you serious?” asked Dash loudly, “I can’t believe this!” She angrily threw her bag to the ground and charged the ponies, “Let’s go!” Chapter 6: The New Mare As Dash sat outside the principal's office, wincing at her injuries, a pink earth pony went and sat next to her. “Whatcha in for?” she asked. Dash sat up and looked at her, “I got in a fight,” she said smiling, “An awesome fight.” “Did ya win?” asked the other pony. Sank in her chair, “Well...uh...no...” “Well at least yer honest!” said the pink pony. Dash sank a little lower. “I’m Pinkie Pie!” Dash perked up, “Rainbow Dash.” “Are you new here?” asked Pinkie. Dash laughed, “I’ve been here about 15 minutes.” “You’ve been here 15 minutes and you’ve already gotten beat up? We should be friends,” Pinkie laughed. Dash smile, “Yeah?” “Uh huh!” ----+---- “DASSSH!” Rainbow’s mom yelled from upstairs. “WHATTTT!?” Dash yelled back while she played video games. Dash’s mom’s voice drifted into the basement, “He’s obviously down there!” Dash heard footsteps on the stairs, “I don't even know anypony in this town!” she yelled. “Hiya!” said Pinkie, coming off the stairs. Dash wasn’t even paying attention, she too sucked into her video game, “What are you doing in my house?” she asked. “Your brother let me in,” Pinkie laughed. Dash’s eyes were glued to the TV, “This is ridiculous, no we can’t be friends.” “Are you playing video games? Do ya have any cupcakes?” Pinkie asked. Dash looked at her, “Yes and no! We only have muffins,” she said. Pinkie trotted back up the stairs, “I’ll ask your brother where they are, what's his name?” Dash was back to the video games, “Thunderlane! who are you?” ----+---- Pinkie sat next to Dash at the lunchroom, “Hey, have you read this yet?” she said, staring at her schedule. “What no!” Dash hated being bothered while eating. “English is next period...” said Pinkie. Dash turned to her, “Stop it, go away!” Pinkie continued eating her school lunch, “Have ever bought these apples? They taste horrible!” “My mom packs my lunch...” said Dash. Pinkie laughed, “What a sweet, innocent mare you are.” ----+---- Dash arrived at school to see Pinkie leaning against a tree by herself. “Hey,” said Dash. Pinkie was twiddling a leaf in her hooves, “Oh hey....Do you hate me?” ----+---- Rainbow’s dad picked off a slice of hay with his fork, “So who’s this Pinkie Pie, Dashie?” Gilda chuckled, “Dash’s girlfriend!” Dash scowled at Gilda, “She’s not even my girlfriend!” she yelled. Rainbow’s mom sat at the table with the rest of them, “Thunderlane! Supper time!” she yelled. “Dash you have a girlfriend?” said her mom, “Is she cute?” Gilda laughed more, “Yeah Dash tell us all about her!” “She’s not my girlfriend!” Dash yelled again, “I barely even know her!” Rainbow’s dad grinned, “Do you want her to be your girlfriend?” ----+---- “They make fun of you for only hanging out with me?” said Pinkie, “What are they? Five?” Dash was sitting on a curb with her, “I know huh.” Pinkie started thinking, “Didn’t you say your mom had guitar?” she asked. “What's your family like,” Dash asked. “....I don’t even want to talk about it,” said Pinkie. ----+---- The teacher picked up his roster and scanned down the names, “Uhm...new kid, Rainbow, you’re with Rarity okay?” he said. “Hello,” said Rarity as Dash pulled up a chair next to her. “Hey, what are we doing?” “It’s some stupid partner thing, you’ll probably slack right off and I’ll end up doing all the work,” she said lowly. “Uhm...My name is Dash...Nice to meet you?” she said. Rarity smiled, “Pleasures all mine.” ----+---- “Why do you want to start a band anyways? I mean I obviously suck at guitar,” said Dash. She was sitting on her bed, holding her mom’s old guitar. “Dash if we had a band, we would be cool! Even if we sucked.” said Pinkie, holding her bass guitar she got last year. “We would transcend our class status and become automatically cool!” “Class status,” said Dash, confused. “We’ll you know how I’m not a cheerleader and you’re not a jock?” said Pinkie. Dash’s eyes widened, “I’m...I’m such a jock.” “We could play for everyone at lunch!” said Pinkie. Dash thought, “We’ll there is only two of us?” she said. Pinkie smiled, “Drums would definitely help. ----+---- Dash scribbled on a map, trying to finish her work quickly. “You really suck at drawing,” said Rarity. “Maps are hard! I could draw it good if it was a lightning bolt!” Dash said in defense. “Lightning...what? Draw me some lightning!” said Rarity. Rainbow grabbed her pencil and draw a few straight lines coming out of a dark cloud. Dash was starting to struggle, “I forgot, does lightning have a swirl at the bottom, or are those tornados?” she asked. Rarity laughed, “That’s the worst lightning bolt I’ve ever seen.” Dash smiled, “What are you talking about! This is such a good bolt!” They continued working until Rarity broke the silence. “You hangout with that Pinkie girl a lot.” “I guess,” Dash said. “Are you two...like...going out?” ----+---- Dash and Pinkie Pie sat next to each other in auditorium as the school band played on stage. “Hey! That’s the girl from my geography class!” said Dash. “Which one? There are like a zillion girls on stage?” said Pinkie. “On drums!” said Dash, staring at Rarity calming play her school drum set. “She can totally play!” Pinkie looked up at her, “She is hitting those drums with those sticks, yeah.” she said. “Well I go get her some streamers.” ----+---- Rarity and her friend walked down the school halls, “Hey Dash,” Rarity said. “Oh hi. So the presentation is on Monday right? Is everything ready?” said Dash. Rarity smiled, “Yeah don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” she said. “Oh hey! This is Colgate,” she said gesturing to her friend, “Colgate, this is Dash, we have Geo together.” Colgate waved as her and Rarity kept walking. “So I’ll see you Monday, first period, haha” Dash yelled. ----+---- Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were sitting underneath a tree on a hill that overlooked the school. Leaves were falling around them on the cold autumn afternoon. “I think I like her...,” said Dash Pinkie turned, “What?” “Rarity...” Pinkie stared at Dash, “Like her? You barely even know her?” “I uh...meant, I’d like her to join our band,” Dash lied. Pinkie turned away from Dash, “Did you ask her yet?” Dash fell back and looked toward the sky, “I'll ask her on Monday...” MONDAY: Rainbow walked up into the front of the school, ponies of all sorts were knocked out on the ground. As soon as Dash walked into the school, Pinkie and Colgate ran up to her. “Dash! Omg! Dash! The Flight School boys came beat everyone up!” Pinkie yelled. Dash looked around at everyone, “Wow, what a great day to be late for school,” she laughed. “Dash! They took Rarity!” Pinkie yelled louder. “Our presentation!” Dash yelled. Hoovesdale Flight School: The Flight School Boys Turf!!! Dash was fighting through the waves of flight school bullies. “Hoops! I’m here! Don’t be a pussy!” she yelled out. Dash grabbed some colt she had just bucked, “Where’s Hoops!?” she yelled. “He’s....on....the rooftop.” Dash began sprinting to the staircase, but a large black colt blocked the way. “You’ll have to go through me first Rainbow Crash,” he laughed. Rainbow bucked him in the stomach sending him flying back, “Yeah, whatever.” ----+---- Dash burst through the rooftop door, “Rarity!” she yelled. Rarity was chained against a wall behind Hoops. “Let her go Hoops, I’ve beaten all your minions! You’re finished.” “Took you long enough,” said Hoops. “Dash...this sucks,” Rarity said quietly. Hoops started toward Dash, “Is this the best Hoovesdale Public school could muster?” he laughed. Dash charged him, “That’s not what your mom said last night!” Dash punched Hoops in the face and he retaliated quickly. They fought for a lengthy amount of time, but Dash’s rage gave her an advantage. Hoops was on his knees, bloodied and broken. “Mercy please...I’ve been a fool!” he gasped. “You’ll never change,” said Rainbow as she kicked Hoops off the rooftop. Rainbow walked over to Rarity, un-chaining her. “Oh Dash! I didn’t know who’d rescue me from that maniac but I secretly hoped it would be you!” Rarity said. Dash held her in her arms, “I like you Rarity, we should be dating. Also do you want to play drums in my band?” Rarity leaned toward Dash, “Yes Rainbow, oh yes!” she said as they kissed. ----+---- And so: Dash, Rarity, Pinkie and Colgate enjoyed the rest of highschool together. They practiced for Colgate and then began to play band shows at lunch. Rarity and Dash had spent a lot of intimate time together over the years, but all good things come to an end. “You’re” moving to Ponyville?” said Rarity. Dash nodded. And soon enough she was gone, out of Rarity’s life, until they met again. ----+---- 23 year old Dash was sitting on her old houses couch, playing video games when Twilight rode by. “Are you dreaming about playing video games?” she asked. Dash looked up at her, “Apparently,” she responded. Twilight laughed, “That’s so pathetic!” “You wouldn't believe how great this game is...”
