Me And You

Rainbow Dash POV

Another day in Canterlot High. Well, it's normal to everyone but me.

A week before, I shared my (technically) second kiss with my boyfriend, Soarin.

The feeling was amazing! So romantic...

Wait, wait, wait! I'm starting to sound like a fangirl! Gross!

I was abducted a week ago and Soarin and my friends rescued me...thankfully! If Lightning continued torturing me I would be dead by now. (see the prequel Lightning's Revenge)

Soarin came over to me.

He said, reading my mind,"Still thinking about what happened in the basement last week, huh?"

"Yeah, even though I'm safe and sound now, but the trauma isn't so easy to overcome." I replied.

Soarin placed a hand on my cheek.

"Sweetheart, everything will come out fine, don't you worry." he reassured.

I really wish that things were this easy, but it isn't.

From what I know about Lightning's personality, she is going to seek revenge on me again, and she won't stop until I took my last breath.

Yeah, that's horrible. I get it.

Suddenly, the bell rang for fourth period.

"Oh, class is starting. What's your class?" I asked Soarin.

He replied,"Geometry."

"Me too. Let's go to the geometry room before Miss Cheerilee gives us a detention for being late." I said.

We hurried off.

-TIME SKIP (after geometry class)-

The blessed bell finally rang. Thank goodness! The class was so boring that I almost fell asleep during a long lecture about lines, rays and line segments.

It was break, and me, my friends and Soarin headed outside the school to get some fresh air.

We sat down on the front steps and started a conversation.

"Hey guys, actually I was wondering, how many of you didn't fall asleep during Miss Cheerilee's lecture?" I asked casually.

Twilight replied indignantly,"I didn't, for one."

"But, I, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity kind of zoned out during the lecture." said Applejack.

"And right before I fell asleep, I saw that Sunset was writing to Princess Twilight in her journal." muttered Rarity.

Twilight said,"That means I was the only one who paid attention in class?"

"Yeah." I replied casually.

"Oh, what did Princess Twilight write to you?" Fluttershy asked politely.

Sunset answered,"This."

Dear Sunset,
I'm pleased that Rainbow Dash is alright after the ordeal she suffered, and everyone's fine here in Equestria.
But, I recently caught wind of abnormal happenings in your world, maybe it's the magic duel.
Anyway, how are you and your friends lately? Tell me in your next entry.
Twilight.
PS: We are safely back already, in case that question is lingering in your mind.

"Oh." said Pinkie,"Did she hold a party for this?"

I glared at Pinkie, and she shut up.

Soarin piped up,"Excuse me, is it alright that me and Rainbow go off for a moment?"

"Sure!" replied Twilight.

Soarin helped me up and he took me to a secluded spot.

"Are you really OK?" he asked.

I replied, exasperated,"I''m fine."

"But you don't seem to be." he added, and I blushed.

I said,"OK, OK. I'm just nervous of her seeking revenge on me. Who knows what limits could she go to?"

"She won't harm a hair on your head. I'll be here." he said passionately.

"But...what if you can't stop her?"

"I will protect you, even if it means risk to my life." Soarin replied.

He pulled me into an embrace, and I returned it.

A New Arrival

Rainbow Dash POV

The next day, which was a Tuesday, Soarin went to my house to pick me up, then go to school, as usual.

I answered the door, beaming, and he grasped my hand and we set off.

As we walked into the school, there was a major clamor in the main hall.

Crowds of girls were screaming, holding bouquets and banners, and crying:

"You're so hot!"

"Be my girlfriend!"

"Babe, love you!"

"You're so handsome!"

"I'm the person of your dreams! Date me!"

"OMG! I want you, always and forever!"

Soarin stared at me, perplexed.

"Who is that guy that everyone's screaming about?" he asked.

Suddenly, Flash and his friends walked over.

"That new guy's really attracting every girl's attention, huh?" he said,"Us popular guys are completely thrown out."

I asked,"Who's that guy?"

"Dunno, but he's got rainbow hair and magenta eyes, like you. Hey, maybe you could be related!" chortled Flash.

All the color drained from my face. No...no...it couldn't be him.

"Hey, Dash, are you alright? You just went pale." said Soarin.

I was lost in my thoughts and replied,"Nothing."

We pushed our way in front of the crowd, and in the middle of the chaos I saw...him.

Rainbow Blitz. My brother. Who abandoned me when I needed him the most.

He was talking to a girl, who said as soon as she saw me,"Hey...is that your relation?"

Blitz turned around. He saw me.

"Hey...sis, long time no see! How are you lately?" he greeted sincerely, but that wasn't enough to make me forget the hateful words he said to me during our last meeting.

I replied coldly,"I'm doing good. Well, the best I could because I am a fucking bitch, a piece of shit that you want to get rid of as soon as possible, right?"

Everyone, including Soarin gasped as they heard me swear at my brother.

"Dash...you know I didn't mean it." Blitz finally managed to say.

"You know what you said to me, don't you? You hurt me and don't want to take the blame for it, right? Then fine! I'll go!" I cried and stomped my way back through the crowd, the fangirls clearing a path for me.

After I left the main hall, I broke into a run, and entered an empty classroom.

I just couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed freely down my face.

"Why...Why does fate have to treat me like that?" I asked myself.

I recalled the argument we had five years ago...

Flashback:

"Why are you leaving me? You're the only one I have left!" I screamed at Blitz.

"I'm doing this for our own good! We need money and we need it fast. I need to train my acting skills, so I can make money!" yelled Blitz in reply.

I sighed,"Fine. Go. Everyone I love is gone."

"But before I go, I have something to tell you." he said,"YOU"RE SUCH A USELESS BITCH, FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I WISH THAT YOU NEVER EXIST, I HATE YOU! ROT IN TARTARUS!"

I burst into tears when he started cursing me.

Blitz slammed the door of the house and left, left me.

Back to the present...

I felt salty tears on my hands, which were clamped over my face.

I wish I could leave this hellhole.

Making Amends

Rainbow Blitz POV

I shouldn't have said that to Dash. I know, I know. I was wrong.

I sighed as the screaming crowd of fangirls continued to proclaim that I'm hot to the entire school.

My mind wasn't with the fangirls at all, it was with Dash, my little sis.

I wish she was here.

After a while, I excused myself from the fangirls as it was almost 8:00 am, and I needed to get to my first class, which is science.

I looked at the schedule that Principal Celestia had given me, at the back there was a map of the school.

The science classroom was at the first floor. I found the way in a minute and sidled into the classroom and found a seat as the bell rang.

Right after I sat down, Dash and that boy I saw in the main hall with her went in and sat down with six girls, which I assume to be Dash's best friends.

The boy whispered to them, as they all glanced at me, and I recognized the girl with wavy purple hair as one of the screaming fangirls.

After a minute, the teacher, which had light pink hair went in and started giving us a lecture about something.

-TIME SKIP (because I don't expect you want to hear a long and boring lecture)-

Three classes later, which I all had with Dash, the boy and the girls, it was break. Finally!

The classes here were much harder, it was only drama, fashion, theater, musical, art and dance in Manehattan Academy of Performing Arts.

I sighed as I walked through the hallways with fangirls surrounding me.

The purple haired girl pushed through the crowd and walked over to my side and whispered,"You're Dash's brother, Rainbow Blitz, aren't you?"

"Yes." I replied.

"I heard what Dash's boyfriend, Soarin said about you this morning in science, are they true?"

I asked,"What true?"

"Oh, so you haven't heard! He said that you cursed Rainbow to rot in Tartarus before going to the Manehattan Academy of Performing Arts, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes. I'm really sorry for that, I really regret it." I replied.

The girl added,"By the way, my name is Rarity."

She left, as she pushed her way back through the crowd, which was still around me.

What the FUCK? Rainbow Dash, my tough sister, has a boyfriend?

I gotta find her!

I rushed through the school, shaking off the fangirls, and walked out altogether.

On the front steps were Rainbow Dash, her boyfriend Soarin, the girl Rarity and five other girls.

"Um...hi." I said awkwardly.

Dash turned and stared at me.

"I'm really sorry, sis. Please forgive me. I lost my temper. Sorry." I apologized.

She smiled.

"Okay, I understand. But don't do that again." she replied playfully.

Rainbow stood up and walked over to me.

"Blitz, you've changed after all those years."

"So did you. How did you get a boyfriend?" I said.

She answered,"So you already know I'm not single anymore."

The boy called Soarin joined us and introduced himself,"I'm Soarin, Rainbow's boyfriend. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Rainbow Blitz, her brother. Nice to meet you, too." I said politely.

"Oh, Blitz! I haven't introduced you to my friends! These are Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack. I expect you know Rarity." said Rainbow happily as her friends joined us.

Sunset Shimmer had hair the color of fire, Twilight Sparkle wore glasses, and had purple hair with plum and pink streaks, Fluttershy, who had light pink hair, constantly hid behind Applejack, a blonde, and Pinkie Pie...she had poofy pink hair.

Soarin dragged me off to talk.

"So...is it true that you cursed Dash?" he asked.

I answered,"Yes, but I really regret it."

"Don't hurt her anymore. After we left you, she had a mental breakdown in an empty classroom." he said.

"I won't hurt her. She's my sister." I said.

Soarin asked,"Is there more siblings in your family?"

I replied,"There's my younger brothers Wave Chill, Fire Streak, Lightning Streak and Prism Bolt. And our late younger sister, Sakura. And there's Rainbow Dash. I'm the oldest in the family."

"Sorry about your sister." he said sadly.

I asked,"Anyway, how did you make my super tough fall in love with you?"

Soarin told the whole story of how he and Rainbow met, and the 'incident' that happened a month later (see Love Is Spreading All Around and Lightning's Revenge).

"Oh, That really happened to Rainbow? So sad." I said.

Rainbow walked over to us.

She said,"Come on! The bell just rang!"

"What? Let's go!" cried Soarin, and the two rushed towards the school.

As I looked at Rainbow's departing figure, I thought: I will protect you. No matter what it takes.

Plots and Plans

Lightning Dust POV

Ugh. That Rainbow Dash. She ruined everything.

After we had tried to get our revenge on her (see prequel Lightning's Revenge), we lost. We lost the battle and we had to flee. Escaping overnight, running frantically to shake off the police hot on our trail.

We ended up near the outskirts of the city, where the street gangs hang out. Nowhere to go, we took shelter in an alley, the rain dripping on us if the weather is bad. We sleep on the ground, using our jackets as blankets.

But, at least we made new friends. The Fire Dragons. A street gang with dominance. They hung out with us during the daytime and we weren't bothered by the other gangs.

Sour Sweet and Sugarcoat are very angry with me now. Yeah, I know. Too reckless, right? Everyone says that all the time. It's why I got kicked out of Wonderbolts Academy in the first place.

At least, we could still seek revenge again, right? Right?

Anyway, we are in an...awful state. You should see our clothes. Filthy, stinky, and you know what.

Sour Sweet broke the silence,"When could we resume our normal lives? I miss home."

"Never. We're wanted fugitives, right?" replied Sugarcoat bluntly.

Lemon Zest sighed and said,"At least we could hang out with the Fire Dragons now. That's a good thing."

"Yeah. Watching the grass grow is a good thing." muttered Indigo Zap.

"We could still get our revenge! Maybe we kill her this time?" I suggested, though it wasn't any good.

Sunny Flare answered hotly,"Okay, and get ourselves arrested."

"Hey, hey everyone, listen to Lightning. She's the leader." said Zephyr Breeze, my senior teammate. He's he most mature of the six, even though he's the newest member of the club.

Suddenly, I got an idea, as I started using my knuckles to make a beat against the wall, which was cracking.

"Got it! We could not kidnap her, so we could take her to an alley and beat her up or something, and leave her there to die! We could wear latex gloves to hide our fingerprints, and maybe we could plant fake evidence, and frame someone else instead!" I cried triumphantly.

Zephyr brightened up.

"That's ingenious!" he said,"I'm with you on this!"

He placed his hand in the air, and I put mine on top.

We looked over to the girls.

"Well, are you okay with the plan?" I asked, smirking.

Sour Sweet replied,"Yeah!"

She, Sugarcoat, Lemon Zest, Indigo Zap and Sunny Flare placed their hand on mine, and we did a celebratory fist pump.

I said,"Here's to revenge!"

Prologue: Return

Rainbow Blitz POV

"Blitz, are you sure that you're transferring to Canterlot High School? You're doing fine here!" said another one of my fangirls, Cinnamon Crust.

I replied,"Yes, of course. Why do you ask?"

"I love you, Blitz! Stay here with me!" she cried.

"And me!"

"And me!'

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

Other fangirls came rushing down the hall and they kept on screaming that they loved me and wanted to be my girlfriend, but I only see them as perfect pests.

That's what I get for being the most popular guy in Manehattan Academy of Performing Arts?!

Anyway, I was preparing to leave for my new school, Canterlot High, when I got mobbed (for the sixtieth time this week) by fangirls.

They thought I was hot and cool, the perfect guy of their dreams.

But the girl I truly love is my little sis, Rainbow Dash. She's studying in Canterlot High, while I went aboard to Manehattan Academy, so we haven't seen each other for five years now.

I really miss her. That's why I'm switching schools, just to see her.

Principal Radiance (not the Power Pony), parted the crowd and walked right next to me.

"Rainbow Blitz, so this is our goodbye. Hope you are happy in your new environment!" she said.

I replied,"Thanks, Principal Radiance. Hopefully we will meet again."

I left Manehattan Academy and hailed a taxi to the airport.

Two hours later, I was sitting in the economy section of the plane headed to Canterlot.

"Hope Rainbow will forgive me for what happened before I left..." I muttered under my breath.

We had a big argument five years ago and I said some really mean things to her.

I deeply regret them afterwards.

"Dash...you know that I always love you."

The Past Is In The Past...Or Maybe Not

Rainbow Dash POV

I wish I could leave this hellhole.

No one even loves me, not even my own brother, and my other relatives are either not in Canterlot, or dead.

Sakura, my elder sister, died three years ago of cancer. Now, I live with my dad Bow Hothoof, and now, Rainbow Blitz.

My mum, Windy Whistles, is living somewhere else with my other brothers, Fire Streak, Lightning Streak, Wave Chill and Prism Bolt. I'm the youngest and only daughter in the family.

I wish mum was here...

The door of the classroom opened.

Soarin stepped in. From the sad look on his face, evidently he had heard everything.

"Dash...I never knew you were suffering so much, so let me help you. We can overcome this together." he said.

I turned away. He doesn't understand, and never will.

The stabbing pain in your heart when your blood brother curses you and wishes that you would die...you would want to die yourself.

I want to end it all sometimes, but my willpower keeps me surviving, even at the worst moments.

Yeah, I have a slight depression, but it's a secret.

No one, not even my friends, knows about it.

"Dash, listen. Please." said Soarin, interrupting me from my thoughts.

I turned to stare at him, and asked,"What do you want?"

"The past will haunt us forever, and always will. I have a secret past that I will tell you one day, and it's still haunting me. But, with the support of my friends, I managed to forgive and forget, and I hope you will be the same. The past is a part of us, and always will be. Without the past, there won't be a present, or a future. So believe me, I will help you." he said soothingly.

I nodded.

Yeah, I get what he's saying.

"Okay." I whispered.

Soarin walked me to the bathroom to clean up, and we headed to class together.
