it hasn't been long since I started living with Thunderlane and Rumble. We cannot say that life is boring. Moreover, everything changes, including me.

Russian life

Some time had passed from my first appearance in Ponyville. Thunderlane and Rumble were glad that I decided to stay with them. Well, I didn’t choice anyway, but I thanked them ten times or more. I thought I didn’t deserve their kindness.

"Hey, it is okay. How could I let you sleep on the streets? Besides, Rumble and I like studying Russian with you so much. Too bad, I am not very good student, he he". Thunderlane told, trying calming down me. His words and his deep and pleasant voice helped me feeling better. I was glad, too, because they became my friends.

Rumble was interesting in stories about Russia, so he asked many questions. No, he wasn’t annoying, every his question was clever, and I was glad to answer it. Nobody was interested in Russian culture as he was. Sometimes Rumble asked simple and funny questions:

"Do you have a ruler of Russia? Who is it?" Rumble asked once.

"Sure, we have. It is a president, his name is Vladimir Putin".

"A president?" He didn’t understand meaning of that word. No wonder, because a princess (only a princess) is ruler of Equestria.

"Well, a president is similar a princess".

"Princess Vladimir Putin?" Rumble asked in perplexity.

"Something like that". I laughed, stroking his head.

But sometimes he asked very serious questions, and I had to give serious answers:

"Have somepony ever attacked Russia?"

"Unfortunately, yes. You see, there is another country next to Russia – Germany. Once, before I was born, Adolph Hitler was a ruler of Germany, but he was various. He wanted to be a ruler of the whole world. He … was dangerous like Sombra or Tirek. And one day Hitler attacked Russia with his army!"

"But your nation defeated him, yes, yes?" Rumble said in anticipation.

"Oh yes, my nation was strong, brave and cohesive. At first, we did not fight very well, but we did not give up and continued to repel the enemy's attack. Together they defeated Hitler and his army. But now Russia and Germany are in good relationships, now we aren’t fighting".

"Uraaar, I am so glad to hear that!" Rumble smiled and clapped his wings as happiness. A little grey Pegasus was cute, when he was happy.

Also Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom liked hearing my stories, after Rumble told them about me. So I had four permanent listeners, it was nice. Girls were interesting in Russia as Rumble (maybe, a bit less they were interested as he was). But I loved telling them about my country, I felt proud of Russia. And girls tasted my borsht, too, they liked them. Also I decided to meet them with other Russian meals: pancakes and okroshka. Everypony likes pancakes, only Sweetie Belle didn’t like okroshka.

"Too cold, not for me, sorry, RainbowThunder". She said.

I understood her. To be honest, I didn’t like okroshka, either. Sweetie Belle and I had similar preferences. But eating Russian food was a good moment to tell other stories about Russia. How were they so interesting in that? I didn’t know. Thunderlane didn’t know, either.

"Looks like you are good in telling stories. I wasn’t hearing your stories as Rumble or Cutie Mark Crusaders, because I am tired because of trainings, sorry. However I like your stories and sometimes open my mouth because of surprising, RainbowThunder". Thunderlane smiled.

"He he, thanks, Thunderlane". I thanked him. His words helped me feeling more confident, and his training adventures were good to listen.

"I felt a little scared on my first training as Wonderbolt, I flew slow and low because of that. But another Wonderbolts thought that I was just lazy. Okay, I was a little lazy, but I was more afraid than lazy, I swear. However, all Wonderbolts didn’t care. And since then, Lazylane became my nickname". Thunderlane told me once.

"That’s a little rude. I would call you Bravelane or Understandlane. That nicknames is more for you, because you are brave and understanding, only not lazy".

"Spusibo, your words are important for me, but Wonderbolts have decided that I’m Lazylane yet. Don’t worry: I am not angry or upset. Lazylane? Well, okay".

I would be upset, if I had that rude nickname. But Thunderlane wasn’t. He was strong, so he didn’t worry about that things. And his brother was strong, because Thunderlane set a good example for Rumble. A black Pegasus was both strong and kind.

Also Thunderlane met me with his friends, who became my friends, too: Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and sisters – Cloudchaser and Flitter. I liked Fluttershy’s tea parties, I could feel a full relaxation in her company. A yellow Pegasus was quiet and shy, but everypony knew: when a problem would appear, Fluttershy always would help (even if a problem was really hard for her). I could say same about Rainbow Dash, but she was braver and more confident than Flutteshy. Rainbow and I were running a race sometimes, of course she was faster.

"Not bad, but you should more work with your hooves". A blue Pegasus said, and she was right.

Sisters Cloudchaser and Flitter were kind, but they loved chatting.Cloudchaser and Flitter loved talking about everything more than I loved telling Rumble about Russia. But I didn’t mind: moreover, I liked listen them, because they told very interesting and clever things.

But I couldn’t live free with Thunderlane and Rumble (I thought it wasn’t fair and correct), so I decided find another job and pay them bits. My really profession was mechanic, and I could earn money in Wonderbolt State, checking equipment there. Spitfire said that I had had "golden" hooves. I couldn’t believe that she respected my skills! I was afraid I would fail in first day, but it hadn’t happened. Also I could see Thunderlane’s trainings and support him. Sometimes he felt uncertainty (which the black Pegasus couldn’t explain), and I wanted help him to believe in himself.

"You got this, I believe in you. Show them how to fly, and … be careful, please… I-I hope you feel better. I’m sorry, if I don’t help. Please don’t angry". I was afraid of being annoying. I didn’t want Thunderlane’s spite.

"Are you kidding? You really helped me, I’m feeling grow of my forces, thanks. What would I do without you?" Thunderlane winked me with smile and flew on the training.

I blushed a little. And Thunderlane made cool turns and loops in the air, I opened my month in surprising. I knew he was a great flyer, but I didn’t think he was so great! Did my words really help? If so, I was glad to help him. And I was glad he didn’t angry on me. I could never have survived this.

That’s how I lived in Ponyville. The summer passed, the autumn (or fall weather as ponies called it) began. Ponies participated in the Running of the Leaves, that’s how leaves fell from trees. I participated, too, but I was too slow, so I was the last on the finish. I thought it hadn’t been so bad for the first time in my life. Thunderlane said same.

It was one autumn day, well … actually, it was my birthday. However, I didn't tell anypony about my birthday, they didn't ask me. I woke up, Thunderlane and Rumble weren’t at home. I thought, a black Pegasus was on Wonderbolt training, and Rumble was at school. But wasn’t it too early? I said myself it had been okay (I thought brothers had a reason), and I decided walk around Ponyville, because it was my day off.

But what it was? I felt something wrong. I felt sad, I was lonely. I would spend my birthday with my friends, but they weren’t next to me. Did everypony forget about me? Did everypony stop being friends with me? Well, no, maybe they were just busy. But they didn’t know about my birthday. But … sadness still ate my heart. I sat on the bench and became thinking about something (or somebody or even somepony). I even remembered my last birthday: I was sick, so I sat home with sore throat. It wasn’t the best birthday. I thought this birthday wasn’t the best, either. Also I remembered my ex-friend’s betrayal. She forgot about me and started being friend with other girl. I became the third and unnecessary. I guessed tears became fall down from my cheeks.

I went to home in sadness. I couldn’t sit on that bench anymore. But when I returned back to home …

"Surprise! Happy birthday!" All my friends were there, and they have a party?! For me?!

"Wu … wut?"

"Wow, she couldn’t even talk because of surprising!" Applebloom and Scootaloo said.

"But … how?"

"Well, little bro overheard about your birthday and told me. We asked help, and there is party! Do you like it?" Thunderlane explained and asked.

"I hope you don’t scary or worry". Fluttershy said.

"I … I love you so much, guys! Spusibo, spusibo, spusibo!" I hugged them all. I had mistaken, it actually was the best birthday ever! Everypony were here, and I was the happiest pony today....

"Poka! Happy birthday!" Cutie Mark Crusaders said goodbye on Russian and went home afer a party.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and sisters have already gone. Rumble was so tired, so he decided go to bed a bit earlier. I didn’t mind. I washed crockery and cleaned a home, Thunderlane helped me.

Also I thought about something while washing crockery. How could I think that my friends forgot about me? They are the best, and I thought about them badly. How could I think that Rainbow Dash forgot about me? How could I think that Rumble forgot about me? How could I think that Thunderlane forgot about me…? I felt fault, and a small tear fell down.

"Huh? RainbowThunder, why are you crying? Is it something wrong?" Thunderlane asked, looking on me.

"I … I’m sorry, I’m so sorry". I sobbed.

"What do you mean? Why are you sorry? Tell me please".

"I thought that you, Rumble and other forgot about me. And I'm sorry that I thought about you and other that bad things. I will understand, if you are angry". I dropped my head, but Thunderlane hugged me. He was pleasantly warm, and he was so handsome, especially in close.

"Don’t cry nopony is angry on you. You are kind and understanding. I am sure; being angry on you it’s impossible. You see, you … really help me and Rumble. He wasn’t so sociable and inquisitive before you. And I … wasn’t so confident before you. When I became Wonderbolt I was afraid nopony would respect me. I didn't believe in myself. I've tried to teach Rumble to be brave, but I've never been as brave as I'm trying to teach Rumble. And you helped me to believe in myself, now I fly confidently and boldly. You helped us both, especially me. You're amazing and wonderful. And … ya lyublyu tebya, RainbowThunder". He blushed.

I couldn’t believe, Thunderlane said on Russian «I love you»! O my gosh, o my gosh! He loved me, and I've kept my feelings from him and from myself so long. Is that a dream?

"I … I love you, too, Thunderlane". I said with smile and blushing. He smiled, too. That smile was warm and beautiful. I was the happiest pony in the world. I felt attracted, and my lips merged with his lips…

All night we talked, dreamed and watched the stars, which were amazing. We were surprised on the next day: Rumble was sleeping in front of his writing desk. There were two pictures on the desk, which Rumble had drawn. There were Thunderlane and I together on the first picture. Also there were two little hearts next to us. Did he see us or did he guess about our love? And the second picture was cute: there were me, Thunderlane and Rumble together. Rumble wrote «Family» under the picture. That was so adorable. He wanted us to be a family, and he recognized our love with Thunderlane. We looked at each other and smiled. Thunderlane and I knew that we could fulfill his (and our) wish.
