She had gone into labor 2 hours ago, and so far he had no news about her. "Because it's taking so long, is she okay? What if something is wrong with Dash or the foal, and if-" Soarin was cut by Twilight who was also in the reception room along with Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie & Rarity "Soarin calm down! She'll be fine, I'm sure she's doing great inside" Twilight said "I know but ... It all makes me very worried ..." Soarin said "Don't worry Sugarcubbe, Rainbow Dash is a strong mare, I'm sure she and your foal are fine," Applejack said. "By the way do you already know if it's a little filly or a little foal?" Asked Rarity "Not yet, we went for the ultrasound but Dash preferred it to be a surprise," Soarin said. "But what do you expect it to be?" Said Fluttershy "As long as the foal is strong and healthy I don't care what it is" Soarin said "I can't wait to see the baby! It was very hard for me to wait for 11 months" said Pinkie Pie Soarin smiled and tried to be as calm as possible. A few minutes later Nurse Redheart left the delivery room with a smile on her face. "Excuse me Mr. Soarin, it was okay with childbirth you can come in now" she said Soarin immediately flashed a huge smile on his face, so he began to walk into the delivery room. When he entered the first thing he saw was his beloved wife lying on the bed, her horsehair worn and holding a small foal in her hooves. "Rainbow" Soarin said "Soarin" Rainbow said weakly Soarin started to walk to the bed and took Rainbow's side. He was amazed at his new foal. "Oh Rainbow is he handsome, is he a filly or a foal?" "Filly" Soarin smiled again so he leaned over and kissed Rainbow Dash on the forehead "She's just beautiful, she's our little Wonderbolt" "Soarin ..." "Can you imagine our daughter in the Wonderbolts?" "Soarin" "She'll be the most amazing of all!" "Soarin ..." "What was Dashie? Any problem?" Rainbow bit her lip before speaking "Soarin, there's something you need to know ..." "What's up? Is something wrong with our filly? Like any health problems?" "No ... her health is great except for ..." "For what?" "Your vision" Soarin froze for a moment realizing what was happening "You mean that..." "Yes ... She ... She's blind ..." Rainbow Dash said holding tight to her filly. Soarin leaned forward and hugged Rainbow. "The doctors did a lot of tests on her and then they said there's nothing to restore her vision ... Oh Soarin I'm honestly very worried about that ..." "No need to worry honey you know I'll never let anything happen to you or our filly" "Yeah, but just thinking that she's going to spend the rest of her life without seeing the world gives me a heartache ..." "I know Dashie ... But we as her parents are going to make her get over it." Soarin then leaned over and kissed Rainbow Dash and the baby on the head. "Have you decided any names for her yet?" "Well I was thinking of ... Snowflake?" "It's perfect" A few minutes later Pinkie Pie came into the room with Rainbow's other friends. "So where is the cutest baby in the world?" She said "Well..." Learning to be parentsA few days later, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were released to go home with the baby. They were still a little nervous about Snowflake being blind, but even so they were going to love their daughter to death very much. Soarin was feeding Snowflake with her bottle while Rainbow Dash was resting a little. Caring for a baby really was hard work, but luckily Snowflake was a very calm baby. She only cried when she was hungry or when she was in pain, or when she realized that her parents were not around. Even though she was blind she seemed to be a very clever foal. She began to recognize the ponies and the things that happened around her by her hearing, even though she couldn't see it, she could hear everything happening around her. "Ready Snowflake?" Soarin said as he gave Snowflake the bottle. She soon stopped sucking the bottle and tried to speak. "Paggghhj" Soarin smiled and took her foal in its hooves and kissed her on the forehead, so he patted her back to make her burp. "Soarin is all right here?" Rainbow Dash said "Yes Dashie, Snowflake just eat I think she's sleepy now" Soarin said handing Snowflake to Rainbow Dash "Ok I'll make her sleep" Then Rainbow Dash flew to Snowflake's room and put her in the crib. "Hello Snow, are you sleepy? Well I'll sing a song for you to sleep" Rainbow Dash said as she stroked Snowflake in the crib. She then began singing the lullaby to Snowflake. A few minutes later she finally fell asleep and then Rainbow Dash leaned over and kissed her on the head. "Good night my little Snow, I love you" ______________________________________ The next few days Snowflake hosted a welcome party hosted by Pinkie Pie. "And now who is my favorite baby in this world? Yes it's you!" Pinkie Pie said as she played with Snowflake "Snowflake is really beautiful Rainbow Dash" said Fluttershy "Thank you girls" Rainbow said "Uh Rainbow look" Twilight said pointing to Snowflake and she was trying to fly. Rainbow's eyes widened and she quickly flew closer to her daughter and caught her. "Take it easy Snowflake, you shouldn't be flying" Rainbow said as she held Snowflake "I thought you would be more excited that Snowflake was flying Rainbow," said Rarity. "Yes ... But I sincerely want to keep her from flying" the other ponies seemed to have confused looks. "Well ... With Snowflake being blind I'd rather keep her from flying alone, I'm afraid she'll get hurt" Dash said "This is a totally common fear Rainbow, but don't worry about it I'm sure she will always be safe by your side, you'll see this is just mom's concern" said Applejack "Perhaps..." Some years later...5 years later... The next few years were great, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were living very happy with their daughter Snowflake. And this year Snowflake was finally going to school. Not so excited about this was Rainbow Dash, she was very protective of her daughter, and because she was blind made her even more cautious. She protected the entire house from any kind of accident, Snowflake's room was protected with several clouds to prevent her from getting hurt. Soarin thought his wife was exaggerating a lot about Snowflake's blindness, but she always said she was just protecting her baby. "Snowflake!" Rainbow Dash called his daughter downstairs. "I'm leaving, mommy!" Snowflake said as he tried to go downstairs. Rainbow Dash then flew over to her and caught her in her hooves. "Here let me help you," she said as she placed Snowflake on the couch. "What do you want to tell me? Did I do something wrong?" Snowflake said "No, your dad and I have been talking a lot and .... We decided it's time for you to start attending school" Rainbow Dash said "A school?" Snowflake said "Yes, it will be great for you, you can learn new things and the best you can make some friends!" Soarin said Snowflake stopped for a second "Do I really have to go? I don't know if it's going to be very good for someone like me ..." Snowflake said lowering his ears. "Why not Cute Pie?" Soarin said "Well you know ... I'm not like the other foals, and I don't know if they will like me ..." Snowflake said Rainbow Dash then leaned toward her daughter and hugged her. "Don't worry darling, you'll be fine, plus I'm sure it'll be really cool, and the aunts' children study there, I'm sure some of them will want to be your friend" Rainbow Dash said in a tone candy "Are you sure?" "Of course I do" "OK then..." "Great!" ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash was in the bedroom talking to Soarin about Snowflake attending school, and she honestly wasn't happy about the idea of her baby going to school with a lot of foals that could be very cruel to her because of their differences. "Are you sure Soarin? I don't know if it's a good idea for her to go to school yet" Rainbow Dash said "This will be good for her you will see, don't worry Dashie she will be in good hooves" Soarin said "I know ... But still I'm still very scared, what if they don't like her? I don't want to see her coming home every day crying" "I'm sure the Ponyville school ponies are very friendly, and their friends' children, then, seem to me to be great companions for Snowflake." "Maybe you are right" "I'm always right dear" Rainbow Dash smiled and leaned closer to his chest. "Good night Soar I love you ..." "I love you too" And so they both fell asleep for the rest of the night. _____________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash brought Snowflake to play in the park while Soarin was at Wonderbolt Academy. "Mommy! Mommy! Can I play?" Snowflake said "Sure, but be careful" Rainbow Dash said Snowflake nodded and ran for the park. "Hello Rainbow!" Said Twilight "Hi Twilight" Rainbow said "Did you bring Snowflake to play in the park today?" "Yeah, I thought it would be good for her, and I'm honestly not quite sure about her going to the same school as other foals, you know today's foals can be pretty cruel." "Hey don't worry Rainbow, my daughter Nova Star Sparkle studies there, and from what she tells me the foals seem to me to be very kind." "Perhaps" Snowflake was running through the park when suddenly she didn't see that there was a tree right in front, and so she hit the tree. "SNOWFLAKE!" Rainbow Dash said as she ran to her fallen filly. "Are you alright?" "Yes ... I think ... I just didn't see this tree in front of me ..." "Well I think we better get back home" ______________________________________ To be continued... The First day of SchoolIt was another beautiful morning in Ponyville, and in a cloud house was a beautiful blue foal with white mane and a blue strand still sleeping in dreamland. Snowflake was sleeping soundly while she held her teddy bear. Suddenly her bedroom door opened revealing her mother Rainbow Dash. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she walked over to the bed where her baby was sleeping. She then gave a slight push to wake Snowflake but she was still sleeping soundly. Soon after another push from her mother Snowflake finally began to open his eyes. "Snow wake up, today is your first day of school" Snowflake yawned and then bent to hug her mother. "Do I really have to go?" Snowflake said "Trust me Snow, I'm sure it will be really cool" Dash said "I think..." "Good morning girls, is Snow ready for the first day of school?" Soarin said as she entered the room. "I'm still a little nervous, I mean, what if they don't like me?" Snowflake said "Hey don't worry about it I'm sure they will love you, after all there is no way not to like an amazing filly like you right my little Snow" Soarin said as he took Snowflake and kissed her forehead. "Ok, I think maybe it's cool ..." Snowflake said "That's the spirit" Rainbow Dash said ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash and Soarin walked Snowflake to Ponyville School. "Mommy" "What?" "I'm afraid..." Rainbow Dash then put a wing on Snowflake's back and pulled closer to her. "Hey don't worry, it's going to be all right" Rainbow Dash said "Are you sure?" Snowflake said "Yeah, besides my friends' kids study at this school, I'm sure some of them will want to be your friend" Dash said "Same?" Snowflake said "Of course right Soarin?" Rainbow said looking at Soarin "Yes, you will see, I'm sure everyone in your room will want to be your friend and there's no way you can't like an amazing filly like you my little Snow" Soarin said "I think" ______________________________________ When they arrived at school, they stopped in front of the entrance door. "Are you quiet Snow?" Rainbow Dash asked "Yes ... I think so ..." Snowflake said Cheerilee then walked to the door when she noticed Rainbow Dash and Soarin with their daughter. "Good morning Rainbow Dash and Soarin, did you come bring little Snowflake to study today?" She said Snowflake was simply hidden behind her mother's hind legs. Cheerilee laughed. "Hey don't worry little one, I'm sure everyone here will like you and you will make many friends!" Cheerilee said "You heard Snow, come on don't be shy," Rainbow Dash said as she pushed Snowflake closer to Cheerilee. "An .... Hello ...." Snowflake said shyly, Cheerilee smiled. "Hello I am teacher Cheerilee, I will teach you about various things a pony needs to know, so if you allow me I would love to introduce you to everything around here" Cheerilee said Snowflake then looked at his parents who gave an approving nod, then Snowflake nodded and began following Cheerilee into the classroom. "Hey wait a little filly, not a kiss for your parents?" Snowflake listened, so she quickly ran to her parents and kissed their cheeks, which they returned with several others. "See you soon Snowflake we love you" Rainbow Dash said After that Snowflake ran to the living room door and entered it. ______________________________________ Snowflake escorted Cheerilee into the living room, and when the two entered, all eyes were on the new foal. "Good morning students, today we have a new filly who will study with us here from now on, students welcome Snowflake!" Cheerilee said Snowflake was still very nervous, she wanted to know what the other foals were thinking of her, she could feel the friendly and the unfriendly looks. "Why don't you say something to Snowflake?" Cheerilee said. "Uh ... well .... I'm ... snow ... flake ..." she said shyly "Snowflake why don't you sit with Princess Nova Star Sparkle and Li'l Cheese?" "OK..." Cheerilee accompanied Snowflake to the table where Nova Star Sparkle and Li'l Cheese sat. "Girls explain to Snowflake everything she needs to know ok?" "But of course Miss Cheerilee" said New Star Sparkle With that Cheerilee left Snowflake with the two foals. "Hello! I'm Li'l Cheese! That's the Princess Nova Star Sparkle, you're Snowflake right?" Li'l Cheese said "Yes..." "It's very nice to meet you!" Snowflake simply blushed "Well then Snowflake have you ever been to school before?" Nova Star Sparkle said "No ... I don't think so ..." It was then that the two foals repaired Snowflake's eyes. "Why are your eyes so bright?" Asked Li'l Cheese Snowflake's eyes widened and didn't respond "You are blind?" Said New Star Sparkle Snowflake cringed and looked like she was about to cry. "I hear we have a blind colt here in the room? Seriously, you should be in a blind school with other ponies like yourself!" Said a foal in the room "Yes, go back to the Everfree Forest Bat!" Said another filly Snowflake was now completely teary-eyed. "Don't mind those Snowflake idiots" said Nova Star Sparkle Snowflake quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Cheerilee noticed this and said: "Are you alright Snowflake?" "Yes, I think so..." "Alright then, if you need anything you can come talk to me right?" Snowflake nodded Then Cheerilee started the class. ______________________________________ At the end of the class all the foals rushed out of the room, when Snowflake was leaving the room the two foals who provoked her earlier bumped into her on purpose and then she fell to the floor. "See you tomorrow, idiot!" The filly said after that she and the other foal left. "You need help?" a foal asked, Snowflake nodded and then the foal helped her to her feet. "Don't listen to these two idiots, they're the brothers Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt they keep teasing the foals in the room, but you just have to ignore them." "Thanks..." "Alright, you're Snowflake right? Nice to meet you I'm Butterfly March" "The pleasure is all mine ..." "But then is it true what they said? Are you blind?" Snowflake lowered his ears and cringed a little. "Hey don't worry, I won't make fun of you, quite the contrary I want to be your friend!" "M-My friend?" "Hello girls, how are you here?" Said Nova Star Sparkle as she and Li'l Cheese approached Butterfly March and Snowflake. "Yes I was just telling Snowflake that she now has a new friend" Butterfly March said "That's very nice, actually she has three new friends, because Star and I would love to be her friends too!" said Li'l Cheese "Thanks girls ... I don't even know what to say ... I've never had friends before ..." Snowflake said "Don't worry about it you will still have many friends ahead of you" said Nova Star Sparkle "Snowflake!" Snowflake immediately recognized that voice. That was the voice of her parents. "Well I have to go, my parents are here" Snowflake said "Alright until tomorrow Snowflake, we love to meet you!" Said Nova Star Sparkle, with that Snowflake ran to where her parents were. When she got there she gave her parents a huge hug "So how was the first day of little filly?" Said Soarin "It was cool, we learned a lot and I made new friends" Snowflake said "That's very good, I knew you would like it, so are you ready for tomorrow?" Rainbow Dash said "I guess so" "Ok and today are you ready to visit Wonderbolt Academy?" Snowflake then started jumping around with a smile "Well I'll take that as a yes" ______________________________________ To be continued... Visit The Wonderbolt AcademyRainbow Dash and Soarin flew with Snowflake on their backs for a day at Wonderbolt Academy, they had warned Spitfire before so she was probably waiting for them. "Right here we are Snow, Wonderbolt Academy" Soarin said as she landed on the floor. "I can't believe I'm here," Snowflake said as he jumped excitedly on his mother's back. "Yeah, it's been a long time since your dad and I wanted to bring you here, you only came here once or twice when you were a baby," Rainbow Dash said as he helped Snowflake down off his back. "Hey Clipper, Crash! I was waiting for you!" Spitfire said as she flew toward the three ponies. "Hi Spitfire, sorry for the delay we had to get Snowflake from school first" Rainbow Dash said "No problem Crash, so how's our little future Wonderbolt?" Spitfire said Snowflake blushed with embarrassment, she was no doubt a very shy pony just like her aunt Fluttershy. "II'm fine, mrs Spitfire ..." "Hey don't have to be shy around me I'm a pony like any other, and if you think I'll yell at you you can be calm that only with you I can be a little more harmless" Snowflake was relieved by that, which means she had heard many of her parents' stories about Spitfire screaming and being very rigid at times, but now she had no reason to worry anymore. "Well what do you think about getting to know the gym little?" Spitfire said "I would love that mrs Spitfire" Snowflake said "You don't have to use these formalities with me, just call me Spitfire" Snowflake blushed and nodded. "Oh damn Soarin, we forgot we had a mandatory workout for this afternoon" Rainbow Dash said "Yeah I really forgot about that Snowflake, do you mind making this visit by yourself with Aunt Spitfire? No need to worry your mom and i we'll be back soon and we'll be right next to you" Soarin said Snowflake nodded, Rainbow Dash then leaned over and kissed her foal on the forehead. "I wish you a good ride Snow, if you need anything ask Spitfire she will help you with that." "Ok mommy" Rainbow Dash then approached Spitfire and whispered in his ear. "Please do my best to prevent her from flying I can't stand the thought of seeing her hurt" "Be quiet Crash, that won't be a problem" With that Soarin and Rainbow Dash flew toward the training ground. "So are you ready for the ride little?" ______________________________________ A few hours later and Spitfire was finishing showing the gym to Snowflake "And here is our Top Bolt, it's a list of the best Wonderbolts we have" "Are my parents one of them?" "Undoubtedly small, your mother is in the background right after me and your father right after her" "Wow" "Well your parents are very talented and one day you will surely be like them" "Do you really think?" "Undoubtedly small" Snowflake blushed "Thanks ... I'm glad you think so but ... I think I'll never be a big fly like my parents ..." Snowflake said lowering his ears "Because you think like that?" "Well you know .... Because of my vision problem, I don't think a pegasu like me would be able to become a big fly ..." Spitfire then approached her and put a wing on her back. "Hey don't worry about it small, there have been big flyers with problems similar to yours, and they haven't given up on their goals, I'm sure your vision won't be a problem for you, I'm sure you're a pony as talented as your parents " "Thanks Spitfire ..." "Hey Spitfire! And look what we have here, isn't this the so famous daughter of Rainbow Dash and Soarin?" Fleetfoot said as she flew to the two ponies. "Hi Fleetfoot, yes today Dash Junior came to visit the gym!" "Oh but that's amazing! I always wondered when Clipper and Crash were bringing this little girl to visit us, and how are you doing little?" Fleetfoot said "I'm fine ..." Snowflake said "Enjoying the ride?" "Certainty" "And you know what can make this visit even better, you know the rest of our team, just wait a second I'll be right back," Fleetfoot said as she flew away. A few seconds later she returned in the company of Misty Fly, Surprise and Wave Chill. "And then Fleetfoot where is our little Wonderbolt?" said Misty Fly as they walked to Spitfire and Snowflake. "Just look right in front of you Misty Fly" said Fleetfoot "Oh but she's not the cutest thing!" Said Surprise "She can undoubtedly become an excellent Wonderbolt one day," said Wave Chill. "That's what I was telling her," said Spitfire. Snowflake was flushed with embarrassment at all the compliments coming from the Wonderbolts. "Look until she's flushed she's cute!" Said Surprise ______________________________________ A few minutes later Rainbow Dash and Soarin finally came back and when they found their daughter talking to the Wonderbolts they smiled. "So Snow how was the ride with Aunt Spitfire?" Rainbow Dash said When Snowflake heard her parents she immediately ran over to them and gave them a tight hug. "And then will you tell us how your day went?" Soarin said "Well" ______________________________________ To be continued... Bullying at SchoolThe next day Snowflake was sitting with her friends: Li'l Cheese, Butterfly March and Nova Star Sparkle in the classroom. "Oh I love school! It's always so cool!" Said Li'l Cheese "Yes studying is always great, I learned this from my mother Princess Twilight Sparkle" said Nova Star Sparkle "Wait, are you Twilight's daughter?" Snowflake asked "Yeah, didn't you know? Li'l Cheese is the daughter of Pinkie Pie and Butterfly March is the daughter of Fluttershy. And also has Apple Sweet daughter of Applejack and Lumina daughter of Rarity, but they didn't come to school these days I don't know what why, but you'll like them too when you meet them! " Said New Star Sparkle "I guess so" "Hello girls! Sorry for the delay but Lumina took too long to get ready as usual ..." Said a foal as she approached the other four ponies sitting at the table. "Darling have you never heard that fashion is life? My mom keeps teaching me that" another filly said "Mine says this is freshness!" "What? How dare you-" Then they stopped arguing when they heard someone clearing their throat. "Arguing about these nonsense again girls?" Said Butterfly March "It's not silly it's just-" Lumina was cut off when she noticed the new foal on her friends' table. "Girls who is she?" Lumina asked "Lumina, Apple Sweet, this is Snowflake she's new here at school!" Li'l Cheese said "Nice to meet you Suggercube" Apple Sweet said "Yes we really are happy to meet her, I'm Lumina and this is Apple Sweet. Don't notice if I argue with her sometimes, but we're both like sisters" Lumina said "I'm very happy to meet you girls ..." Snowflake said shyly Then the two foals fixed Snowflake's eyes. "Why are your eyes so bright?" Apple Sweet asked "You are blind?" Lumina asked Snowflake cringed at the question "Well I'm..." "Snowflake girls are kind of shy and she's very sensitive when they talk about her vision" explained Nova Star Sparkle "Oh but don't worry about it Darling, we do you no harm because of it," said Lumina "True Suggercube, here we are all friends and now you are our friend" Apple Sweet said and Snowflake smiled "Thanks girls ... You two are daughters of Rarity and Applejack aren't you?" Snowflake said "Yes we are! How did you know?" Apple Sweet asked "Well I think I know your mother, you are all so much like your mother and they are very close friends with my mother Rainbow Dash" Snowflake said "But that's very cool, isn't it? Our mothers are best friends, and now the six of us who are their daughters are!" Li'l Cheese said "Yes that's quite a coincidence" Butterfly March said Soon after the twins Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt approached the six foals. "Hello, what do we have here, brother? The six losers and the most loser yet, Snowbat, mean girl back to the forest you came from," Sandstorm said. "It's true sister look at her she shouldn't even be here at school!" Thunder Bolt said "Hey, leave her alone! You have nothing else to do but hell with the lives of others?" Apple Sweet said defending her friend "Yes, you don't know how ridiculous you are!" Lumina said "It's true to mess with our friend you have to mess with agent first!" said Li'l Cheese and Butterfly March nodded "Wow, what a fear we are!" Thunder Bolt said sarcastically "You better stop now because if we don't tell Miss Cheerilee everything!" Said Nova Star Sparkle "Okay alright we'll stop, not because you asked, but because we don't want to spend saliva with losers like you, even more Snowbat!" Sandstorm said as she and Thunder Bolt flew to their table. "Thank you girls ..." Snowflake said "No problem, anything you can count on," said New Star Sparkle, Snowflake smiled. Soon after Cheerilee entered the room and began to teach. ______________________________________ In the middle of class Snowflake felt a great urge to go to the bathroom. "Uh, Miss Cheerilee?" Snowflake said "Yes Snowflake?" Cheerilee said "Can I go to the bathroom? I swear it will be fast" "Alright you can go, do you want me to walk you there or can you go by yourself?" "I think I can go by myself ..." "OK then" With that Snowflake walked out of the room and went to the bathroom. "Miss Cheerilee?" Sandstorm said "Yes Sandstorm?" Cheerilee said "Can I go to the bathroom too? You know I'm in a crazy mood to go there, and if you want I can even help Snowba- I mean Snowflake find the bathroom." "Ok you can go" Then Sandstorm flew out of the room and into the bathroom. ______________________________________ Snowflake was in the bathroom and was preparing to return to the living room until she heard a voice. "Hello Snowbat!" She knew very well whose voice this was, Sandstorm was one of the foals who kept teasing her. "Hi ...." "Seriously, I don't know what you're still doing here at school and you're not even welcome, you should stay at Everfree Forest with your bat friends, I'm sure there you will identify much more there than here. , so why don't you move soon and leave everyone alone! " Sandstorm said as he pushed Snowflake to the ground. Snowflake was on the floor not knowing what to do, all she had to do at that moment was cry. "What's up? It's gonna cry? But it's a baby, isn't it? I heard your mother is Rainbow Dash right? Look I think you're adopted because she looks at you and looks at your mother, she's Equestria's best flying and Wonderbolt, you both have absolutely NOTHING in common, I bet she's even ashamed of a failed foal that you can't even see its hooves! " These insults were making Snowflake cry in fear on the bathroom floor not knowing what to do as the foal laughed wickedly at her. Then Nova Star Sparkle came into the bathroom and saw her friend being harassed by the foal. "What's going on here?" She asked "Oh nothing little princess, Snowbat just stumbled and fell to the ground and now it's crying like a baby, well I better go!" Sandstorm said as he left the bathroom Nova Star Sparkle then approached her friend and helped her to her feet. "Are you alright?" "Yes, I think so..." "What happened here?" "Nothing ... I just tripped and fell like Sandstorm said" "Are you sure?" "Yes..." Nova Star Sparkle nodded and decided not to investigate further. Soon after the two foals returned to the classroom. ______________________________________ A week later... Snowflake week at school has had its good side and its bad side. The good thing was, she had great friends she could always tell and they were always there for her, and the bad thing was that Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt's provocations to Snowflake didn't stop, but the provocations only got worse. Snowflake's friends always defended her when they noticed the taunts, but they weren't with her all the time, and when they weren't she didn't know how to fend off the taunts, she was too shy and sweet to do anything. She didn't tell her parents about the teasing even to Cheerilee. She knew they were silly insults but sometimes they made jokes and insults that crossed the line, and she could do nothing about it. The result was this, she was harassed at school because of her differences, even though she was too shy to do anything to defend herself, she still stood firm and strong. But what she didn't know was that today was going to be the worst day of her life at school. It was school recess time, and everyone in the room was gathered in the courtyard in front of Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt. "And today my sister and I would like to give the title of weirdest school pony to Snowflake!" Thunder Bolt said "I think you meant Snowbat brother!" Sandstorm said Then everyone in the room started laughing. Snowflake was with her friends across the yard as she listened to the insults of the two foals. "These two are very stupid!" Said Apple Sweet "Yes they have no idea of ridicule!" Lumina said "Calm girls just ignore it" said Nova Star Sparkle Then the twins began flying toward the six friends along with a group of ponies. "Look guys the bat is hiding with his friends!" Sandstorm said while laughing and everyone started laughing too That's when Snowflake got up the courage and decided to tackle them for the first time. "Enough now! I've been putting up with your teasing a lot but that's awesome!" Snowflake said "Look Thunder Snowbat finally decided to brave us? I doubt she has the courage to face us again after that," Sandstorm said, waving at his brother. Thunder Bolt then picked up a baseball bat and used it to hit Snowflake. All the ponies around were laughing at the foal's situation. When she was all hurt and unable to defend herself she simply lay on the floor and began to cry. "That's what you deserve for being in this stupid school! Look around nobody here likes you and your friends don't even tell you because they are complete idiots just like you and if you want real friends you'll die trying! But there guys let's get started! Bat! Bat! Bat! " Sandstorm said Then all the other foals started laughing and calling Snowflake a bat. "Enough Sandstorm! You and your brother have now crossed the line!" Said Nova Star Sparkle "You don't know how ridiculous you are doing this to a pony that can't even defend itself!" Lumina said Then the bell rang and all the foals rushed into the room. Snowflake's friends helped her into the room because she was too hurt to go alone. When Cheerilee realized the situation of the colt her eyes widened and then she quickly went to the wounded colt. "Oh my god, Snowflake! What happened to you?!" Snowflake's friends then told Cheerilee all about what had happened at recess and the other bullying events of the week. At the end of the day everyone went home except Snowflake, Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt. They had stayed for a meeting with their parents. When Rainbow Dash and Soarin arrived at school and saw their daughter injured, they immediately ran to her and hugged her. "Snow, what happened to you ?!" Rainbow Dash said desperately Snowflake didn't answer she simply put her face on her mother's chest and began to cry as Rainbow Dash hugged her. Soon after she was in mother bear mode. "So we just have to wait for Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt's mom to arrive and then we can start," Cheerilee said. Soon after the door to the living room opened revealing the mother of the twins. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in surprise to see who it was. "Hello Rainbow Dash, how long isn't it?" It was Lightning Dust, Rainbow Dash's old rival "Lightning Dust! I should have known these were your children! And I can't believe you're living near Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said in an annoyed tone "For you to see how life is full of surprises" Lightning Dust said "Very well can we start?" Cheerilee asked and everyone nodded. "Very well today at the time of recess the daughter of Rainbow Dash and Soarin was harassed by the foals Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt, and from what they told me this was not the only time they did it, but today has crossed the line because I want to report that bullying here is inadmissible here. Miss Lightning Dust do you have anything to say about what your children did? " Cheerilee said "I have nothing to say if my children did this they must have had their reasons!" Lightning Dust said Rainbow Dash was raging right now, and Soarin was trying her best to calm her down. "How can you say that ?! My Snow would never do anything to your children! She's just the sweetest, shyest, kindest thing there is. I'm sure she would never do a lake like that!" Dash said "Yes, but if you were really smart Rainbow Dash you would have put your daughter in a blind institution where they would have ponies with the same problem as hers, to prevent that kind of thing from happening!" Lightning Dust said Rainbow Dash was now seething with anger. "You, you ...." She said "Dash please calm down" Soarin said rubbing his wife's shoulders to try to calm her down. "Miss Lightning Dust I am sorry to say that but you are wrong, as are your children and because of this reckless behavior they have had I will have no choice but to suspend for two weeks at school, and I hope that when you come home you talk to them about it "Cheerilee said Lightning Dust rolled her eyes but nodded, so she got up and left with her two children. "Look Mr. and Mrs. Dash I'm so sorry for what happened today, I promise I'll do everything to make it not happen again" Cheerilee said "Alright Miss Cheerilee, thanks," Rainbow Dash said as she picked up her daughter and put her on her back before taking off with Soarin home. ______________________________________ To be continued... Friendly ComfortLater that day Snowflake was sitting on the couch crying in her mother's chest as she hugged her tightly and kissed her head. "Shhhhhhhh it's alright Snow, mommy is here with you" Rainbow Dash said as she stroked her daughter's head. "Mommy I don't want to go to school anymore" Snowflake said while crying "Snow don't say that, you need to go to school" Soarin said "But if I go again they will hit me again ..." Snowflake said "They won't do it because I won't let it happen to you again," Rainbow Dash said as she kissed Snowflake's head. By night everyone went to sleep, Rainbow Dash was sleeping in his bed when suddenly the door opened revealing a foal with a half frightened face. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she opened her eyes "I had a nightmare ... I dreamed that all the foals in the room beat me and called me a bat ..." Rainbow Dash then flew over to her daughter and picked her up in her hooves, then flew back to bed and the two of them lay together. "Don't worry about the nightmares they are not real" "Are you sure? Because it seemed very real to me, and besides that it's true ... I think Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt are right, I think no one in the room likes me and they are also right when they say I look like adopted for not having much in common with you or daddy because you guys are great flyers and I am ... "Snowflake stopped and then started crying in his mother's chest. Rainbow Dash hugged her daughter and tried her best to comfort her. "Don't mind that, they don't know what they are saying, but promise me something?" "What?" "Never let anyone compare you to me or your father" "I don't know if I promise ..." Soarin then woke up and noticed his daughter in bed. "Snowflake? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Soarin asked "Good..." ______________________________________ Two days passed and Snowflake had not yet returned to school. She was afraid of being harassed again, her parents were trying their best to comfort her and convince her that she shouldn't care about the teasing, but she found it difficult. Of course she was a very sensitive pony, and any unpleasant comments could really hurt. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she and Soarin were standing in their daughter's bedroom door. "Yes mommy?" "Are you alright? You haven't left home or eaten for two days" Snowflake nodded "Snow, your mother and I are very worried about you, we don't want to see you in this state" Soarin said "I don't like it much either but ... I'm really not feeling like anything else ..." Rainbow Dash and Soarin looked at each other and decided to respect their daughter's wishes, but still they were very concerned about her, no way did they like to see their daughter in isolation and want nothing more from life. So they decided to do something to try to help her. Rainbow Dash called Snowflake's friends to talk to her so they might try to convince her to go back to school. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said standing in the doorway "Yes mom?" "I brought some ponies that really want to see you" She opened the door revealing Snowflake's friends: Nova Star Sparkle, Lumina, Apple Sweet, Li'l Cheese and Butterfly March. "Hello Snowflake!" Li'l Cheese said "I'll let you guys talk just call me downstairs," Rainbow Dash said as she walked away and left the foals talking to themselves. "So how are you doing Snow?" Asked Nova Star Sparkle "I'm fine I think ..." Snowflake said "Why don't you go to school anymore?" Apple Sweet said "Well I..." "Snow if this is because of those two idiots you don't have to worry because I'm sure after meeting with your parents they won't do any more teasing to you" Lumina said "I agree with Lumina, Snow go back to school, you miss there" Butterfly March said "Well I..." "Come on Snow! Say you're coming back!" Li'l Cheese said "Well ... Okay alright, I'll be right back ..." "Yay! Group hug girls!" Li'l Cheese said Then their foals joined in for a friendly hug. Unbeknownst to them, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were standing in the doorway watching the foals. "It's great that our Snow has such good friends, isn't it Soarin?" "Yes surely" ______________________________________ To be continued... The RaceA few days passed and the race day had finally come. Rainbow Dash was worried about letting her baby run, especially when she was blind. "Oh Soarin, I don't know if I should let Snowflake participate in this race ..." "I know I'm insecure about all this too but we have to respect our daughter's decision" "I know but ... What if she gets hurt? I don't want to see her in a hospital bed, and if-" Dash was cut off by Soarin kissing her on the lips. A few seconds passed and the kiss broke. "Don't worry, everything will be all right, our daughter will be fine," he said as he put a hoof around Dash and pulled her closer to him. "I hope so..." "Mommy, can we go now?" Snowflake said and her parents nodded ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash and Soarin landed with Snowflake on the Wonderbolt Academy race track, where all the invited ponies for the race were gathered. "We all wish you good luck Snow" Fluttershy said "Yes, don't worry Sugarcubbe you'll be fine" Applejack said "Thanks guys ... I'll need it" Snowflake said "Can we all get ready for this race right away? I want my children to win this race soon and prove they are better than this bat" Lightning Dust said "I think it's good that you be careful with your words Lightning Dust! Because my daughter trained very hard with me!" Rainbow Dash said "Yes, of course, but I don't think you knew this race is flying right?" Dash's eyes widened, she obviously didn't know it would be a flight race, she thought it would be a normal race, just for running. "You didn't tell me anything about being a flight race" "I thought it was pretty obvious, wasn't it? After all our kids are pegasus, and pegasus need to fly. But from what I understand you don't even mind teaching your daughter how to fly like a normal catch." "It's not that I don't care! I just care about her! You know very well that this can be very dangerous for a filly like her, I do care!" "Yes we will see that in the race" with that Lightning Dust stepped away and went to her children at the starting line. Rainbow Dash was desperate now, she never wanted to teach her daughter how to fly, and for good reason. She was blind, and because of that she could get hurt at any moment. "Are you ok Dashie?" Soarin said as he approached Dash "No, Soarin this race is flying. I've never taught Snowflake to fly, how will she participate in this race like that? She would have to leave the school where she studies because of it!" "This is really a problem ... But don't worry I'm sure it will be all right" "But that's not just what worries me ... I'm very afraid that she will be hurt by being blind, if anything happens to her I would never forgive myself." Soarin approached Dash and put a hoof around her. And hugged her "Hey don't worry Dashie, I'm sure our daughter will be fine, she's a strong foal just like her mother. I'm sure she'll make it, just trust me" "I hope you're right Soarin ..." Dash said as she snuggled into Soarin's chest ______________________________________ When the time came the race was about to begin. Both Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were preparing their children for the race. "Look kids, all that really matters in this race is your victory! Now go and defeat the Rainbow Dash's daughter!" Lightning Dust said "Right mom!" Thunder Bolt and Sandstorm said in unison Rainbow Dash and Soarin were across the track comforting their daughter before the race started, she really needed it now "Don't worry honey, we're sure you'll make it. Don't worry about what others say, know you're our Snow and we trust you because more than anyone else we know you very well and know the your potential "Soarin said "Thank you Daddy..." "Let's race is about to begin," Dash said as she left the track with Soarin, but not before hugging her daughter and placing a soft kiss on her head. "All ready for the race?" Twilight said with a megaphone, and everyone nodded. "Good Luck loser!" Sandstorm said "We met you at the finish line, To celebrate our victory" Thunder Bolt said "I think so ..." Snowflake said "Very well ponies, 1 ... 2 ... 3! GO!" Twilight said With that Thunder Bolt and Sandstorm quickly flew off the starting line, while Snowflake was trying to fly but couldn't. Rainbow Dash saw her daughter's difficulty so decided to do something to help her. "You can do it Snow!" Soon after all the ponies that know and love Snowflake began to cheer and encourage her to fly. With all this encouragement, she finally managed to get off the ground and began flying to try to reach the twins. "That's my girl" Dash said with a tear in her eyes The twins decided to take a break to rest. "That bat will never beat us, we can sit here and sleep all day long and she will never reach us" Thunder Bolt said "Yeah!" Sandstorm said with that they decided to take a nap Snowflake was flying very slowly, perhaps because she has never flown or practiced before, and is blind. She then unknowingly overtook the twins and was almost winning the race. "But what are they doing? THUNDER BOLT, SANDSTORM WAKE UP! DO YOU WANT THAT BAT TO COME YOU ?!" Lightning Dust shouted With that the twins woke up and tried to overtake Snowflake but it was too late she had already crossed the finish line. "UHUHUHUH SNOWFLAKE YOU WON WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" Pinkie Pie said "You really deserved Darling!" Rarity said "Thank you guys," Snowflake said blushing a little as all her friends came and hugged her and congratulated her. "Oh Snow, your father and I are so proud of you!" Dash said "Yes, I'm sure one day you will still be a great flyer" Soarin said "So that's it? Did my children lose to a blind pony? I'd never think of something like that. So I guess now my children will have to leave school right?" Lightning Dust said "That's what we all hope for," Dash said. "No! They don't have to leave school, I just want them to stop disturbing me ... And I sincerely forgive them all," Snowflake said "Snowflake you're so sweet, that's very noble of you" Twilight said "Well if it's like that, okay my children will never disturb you disturbing you at school kid, and thanks for that, now let's go kids" Lightning Dust said as she flew her children away "At least everything turned out well, everyone left happy" Starlight said ______________________________________ To be continued... A Big SurpriseA few days passed after the race. Snowflake had won and proved to everyone that she was not weak. Everyone at school was congratulating her on her performance. "You really were amazing Snowflake" a filly said "Yes later you could teach us your moves" another foal said "Wow ... Really? An ... thanks guys" Snowflake said "Our friend is amazing!" Said Li'l Cheese "Yes, it's the best ever," said Apple Sweet "How do you feel about winning the Snow race?" Butterfly March asked "Well I feel the same I think, but I'm happy with myself that I did it, I never thought I was able to fly," Snowflake said. "But you did it and that's what matters" Lumina said Soon after Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt approached Snowflake. "An ... Hi Snowflake ..." Thunder Bolt said "What do you want here? You came to mock our friend again ?!" Novs Star Sparkle said "No, actually we just wanted to apologize for everything we did before, my brother and I are really sorry for everything we did to you Snowflake" Sandstorm said "And we understand if you don't forgive us, we just wanted to let you know we're sorry," Thunder said shortly afterwards he and his sister started to walk away "Wait! I forgive you" Snowflake said The twins turned to face the filly and smiled shyly. "Thank you" ______________________________________ A year later Snowflake was finally six years old, and was living happier than ever with his parents and friends. And now it was the time of year she liked best. The winter. She loved to feel the snow, even though she can't see what it really is like, she still loved it from the heart. One day when she was in the yard of her house playing in the snow she began to collect the snowflakes falling from the sky. And with that she would take them home and start making various kinds and sculptures and other kinds of crafts with the snowflakes. Once her parents came into her room and saw her making their sculptures then they decided to interrogate. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said "Yes mommy?" "About these sculptures you are making ..." "Is that bothering you? Oh I'm sorry mommy and daddy I swear I won't do this anymore-" "No honey, we just want to know how you did it" Soarin said "I don't really know ... I just do it, I pick up the snowflakes and start modeling in various ways I can imagine" "Well your sculptures really are amazing, I think you really have a great talent for that" Dash said "Do you really think?" Dash nodded. "I'm sure" Suddenly a light appeared on Snowflake's flank as Dash and Soarin disappeared in wonder at what they saw. "What happened mommy?" "Looks like someone got a Cutie Mark!" Snowflake's eyes widened "What ?! Really?" "Yes!" "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I can't believe I now have my own Cutie Mark! But how exactly is?" "It's three crystal snowflakes" Soarin said Snowflake wasn't believing all she was doing at that moment was jumping from side to side with such joy. "I can't wait to tell my friends!" _____________________________________ To be continued... FINALA few months later after Snowflake finally discovered her talent, Rainbow Dash decided it was finally time to teach her daughter how to fly. Snowflake was very excited when her mother said that after a long time she was going to teach her how to fly. "Snow are you ready for your first flight lesson?" Dash said "Yes!!!" Snowflake said excitedly "Well then let's go" Soarin said Now Rainbow Dash was no longer afraid to let her daughter fly. Because after the race she proved she could be a great flyer, and that made Rainbow Dash come to the conclusion that it was high time. ______________________________________ "Come on Snow you can do it!" Dash said "I don't know if I can do this" Snowflake said "Come on Snow you've done it before, let's go you will get it" Soarin said With that then Snowflake started to come off the ground, and when she realized she was flying. "You did it! Oh Snow your father and I are so proud of you" Dash said "Now your mother and I will fly to a cloud and you will try to reach us" Soarin said "Ok" With that Soarin and Rainbow Dash flew to a cloud, and Snowflake tried to keep up. "Come on Snow you can do it!" Snowflake flew as high as possible and finally she had made it to her parents. Soarin and Rainbow Dash then pulled her into a huge hug. "This is our little filly" Soon after Snowflake's friends arrived and invited her to play. She then said goodbye to her parents with another hug and a kiss on the cheek. Dash and Soarin were still sitting on the cloud just watching their daughter run to play with their friends. "Our little daughter is growing up Soar" "Yeah, as hard as we have to let her go one day, she will still be our little filly" Dash then nodded and put his head on Soarin's chest and he put a wing around her. "She'll be a great flyer one day, that's for sure" Dash said "Yes she will be as good as her mother," Soarin said as him kissed Dash's cheek, and she returned with a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you Soar" "I love you too Dashie" ______________________________________ End.... The ProposalTwo weeks later the suspension of Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt had already been long. But since they went back to school they no longer teased Snowflake, she was grateful for that. It was now weekend and all the foals and fillies were resting at home. Snowflake loved the weekends because she could spend all the time with her parents. "Mommy?" "What?" "Do you think Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt are going to tease me again?" Snowflake asked "No, I don't think so, after the punishment they took I doubt they'll make any kind of provocation with you," Dash said. "Even if they did your mother and I would be there to defend you Snow, we will never let anything or anyone hurt you" Soarin said Soon the three ponies joined in for a family hug. The moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who could it be?" Soarin said "I'll see who it is," Dash said as he got up from the couch and walked toward the door and opened it, revealing Lightning Dust and her two children. "Hello Rainbow Dash" she said "Lightning Dust? What are you doing here? It's not enough what your children did with my Snow" Dash said "I know and that's precisely why I'm here, I want to settle things civilly" "And what form would that be?" "A race" Dash raised an eyebrow "You know my children and I have never been as humiliated as that day at school, so we want to put an end to this problem at once. One race, your daughter against my children who wins stays at school and who loses get out. if your daughter beats my children they will never tease her either, so what do you tell me? " "I would never agree to such a thing, just forget it and-" Dash was cut off by her daughter's tail tug "Snow what you?" "I can talk to you?" Dash nodded. "Well, I think I should accept the proposal ..." "No way Snow! You can get hurt, and that can be very dangerous!" "I know but ... This can also be a way for me to prove to everyone at once that I can do something right at least once, everyone tells me that I can't do anything because of my vision, and also would be an opportunity to stop all the provocations there at school " Dash sighed and put a hoof around her daughter. "Are you sure this is what you want?" Snowflake nodded. Then Dash turned back to Lightning Dust. "We accept your proposal" "Great!" _____________________________________ To be continued....
The BirthSoarin was pacing the hospital reception waiting for news from his wife Rainbow Dash. She had gone into labor 2 hours ago, and so far he had no news about her. "Because it's taking so long, is she okay? What if something is wrong with Dash or the foal, and if-" Soarin was cut by Twilight who was also in the reception room along with Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie & Rarity "Soarin calm down! She'll be fine, I'm sure she's doing great inside" Twilight said "I know but ... It all makes me very worried ..." Soarin said "Don't worry Sugarcubbe, Rainbow Dash is a strong mare, I'm sure she and your foal are fine," Applejack said. "By the way do you already know if it's a little filly or a little foal?" Asked Rarity "Not yet, we went for the ultrasound but Dash preferred it to be a surprise," Soarin said. "But what do you expect it to be?" Said Fluttershy "As long as the foal is strong and healthy I don't care what it is" Soarin said "I can't wait to see the baby! It was very hard for me to wait for 11 months" said Pinkie Pie Soarin smiled and tried to be as calm as possible. A few minutes later Nurse Redheart left the delivery room with a smile on her face. "Excuse me Mr. Soarin, it was okay with childbirth you can come in now" she said Soarin immediately flashed a huge smile on his face, so he began to walk into the delivery room. When he entered the first thing he saw was his beloved wife lying on the bed, her horsehair worn and holding a small foal in her hooves. "Rainbow" Soarin said "Soarin" Rainbow said weakly Soarin started to walk to the bed and took Rainbow's side. He was amazed at his new foal. "Oh Rainbow is he handsome, is he a filly or a foal?" "Filly" Soarin smiled again so he leaned over and kissed Rainbow Dash on the forehead "She's just beautiful, she's our little Wonderbolt" "Soarin ..." "Can you imagine our daughter in the Wonderbolts?" "Soarin" "She'll be the most amazing of all!" "Soarin ..." "What was Dashie? Any problem?" Rainbow bit her lip before speaking "Soarin, there's something you need to know ..." "What's up? Is something wrong with our filly? Like any health problems?" "No ... her health is great except for ..." "For what?" "Your vision" Soarin froze for a moment realizing what was happening "You mean that..." "Yes ... She ... She's blind ..." Rainbow Dash said holding tight to her filly. Soarin leaned forward and hugged Rainbow. "The doctors did a lot of tests on her and then they said there's nothing to restore her vision ... Oh Soarin I'm honestly very worried about that ..." "No need to worry honey you know I'll never let anything happen to you or our filly" "Yeah, but just thinking that she's going to spend the rest of her life without seeing the world gives me a heartache ..." "I know Dashie ... But we as her parents are going to make her get over it." Soarin then leaned over and kissed Rainbow Dash and the baby on the head. "Have you decided any names for her yet?" "Well I was thinking of ... Snowflake?" "It's perfect" A few minutes later Pinkie Pie came into the room with Rainbow's other friends. "So where is the cutest baby in the world?" She said "Well..."
Learning to be parentsA few days later, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were released to go home with the baby. They were still a little nervous about Snowflake being blind, but even so they were going to love their daughter to death very much. Soarin was feeding Snowflake with her bottle while Rainbow Dash was resting a little. Caring for a baby really was hard work, but luckily Snowflake was a very calm baby. She only cried when she was hungry or when she was in pain, or when she realized that her parents were not around. Even though she was blind she seemed to be a very clever foal. She began to recognize the ponies and the things that happened around her by her hearing, even though she couldn't see it, she could hear everything happening around her. "Ready Snowflake?" Soarin said as he gave Snowflake the bottle. She soon stopped sucking the bottle and tried to speak. "Paggghhj" Soarin smiled and took her foal in its hooves and kissed her on the forehead, so he patted her back to make her burp. "Soarin is all right here?" Rainbow Dash said "Yes Dashie, Snowflake just eat I think she's sleepy now" Soarin said handing Snowflake to Rainbow Dash "Ok I'll make her sleep" Then Rainbow Dash flew to Snowflake's room and put her in the crib. "Hello Snow, are you sleepy? Well I'll sing a song for you to sleep" Rainbow Dash said as she stroked Snowflake in the crib. She then began singing the lullaby to Snowflake. A few minutes later she finally fell asleep and then Rainbow Dash leaned over and kissed her on the head. "Good night my little Snow, I love you" ______________________________________ The next few days Snowflake hosted a welcome party hosted by Pinkie Pie. "And now who is my favorite baby in this world? Yes it's you!" Pinkie Pie said as she played with Snowflake "Snowflake is really beautiful Rainbow Dash" said Fluttershy "Thank you girls" Rainbow said "Uh Rainbow look" Twilight said pointing to Snowflake and she was trying to fly. Rainbow's eyes widened and she quickly flew closer to her daughter and caught her. "Take it easy Snowflake, you shouldn't be flying" Rainbow said as she held Snowflake "I thought you would be more excited that Snowflake was flying Rainbow," said Rarity. "Yes ... But I sincerely want to keep her from flying" the other ponies seemed to have confused looks. "Well ... With Snowflake being blind I'd rather keep her from flying alone, I'm afraid she'll get hurt" Dash said "This is a totally common fear Rainbow, but don't worry about it I'm sure she will always be safe by your side, you'll see this is just mom's concern" said Applejack "Perhaps..."
Some years later...5 years later... The next few years were great, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were living very happy with their daughter Snowflake. And this year Snowflake was finally going to school. Not so excited about this was Rainbow Dash, she was very protective of her daughter, and because she was blind made her even more cautious. She protected the entire house from any kind of accident, Snowflake's room was protected with several clouds to prevent her from getting hurt. Soarin thought his wife was exaggerating a lot about Snowflake's blindness, but she always said she was just protecting her baby. "Snowflake!" Rainbow Dash called his daughter downstairs. "I'm leaving, mommy!" Snowflake said as he tried to go downstairs. Rainbow Dash then flew over to her and caught her in her hooves. "Here let me help you," she said as she placed Snowflake on the couch. "What do you want to tell me? Did I do something wrong?" Snowflake said "No, your dad and I have been talking a lot and .... We decided it's time for you to start attending school" Rainbow Dash said "A school?" Snowflake said "Yes, it will be great for you, you can learn new things and the best you can make some friends!" Soarin said Snowflake stopped for a second "Do I really have to go? I don't know if it's going to be very good for someone like me ..." Snowflake said lowering his ears. "Why not Cute Pie?" Soarin said "Well you know ... I'm not like the other foals, and I don't know if they will like me ..." Snowflake said Rainbow Dash then leaned toward her daughter and hugged her. "Don't worry darling, you'll be fine, plus I'm sure it'll be really cool, and the aunts' children study there, I'm sure some of them will want to be your friend" Rainbow Dash said in a tone candy "Are you sure?" "Of course I do" "OK then..." "Great!" ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash was in the bedroom talking to Soarin about Snowflake attending school, and she honestly wasn't happy about the idea of her baby going to school with a lot of foals that could be very cruel to her because of their differences. "Are you sure Soarin? I don't know if it's a good idea for her to go to school yet" Rainbow Dash said "This will be good for her you will see, don't worry Dashie she will be in good hooves" Soarin said "I know ... But still I'm still very scared, what if they don't like her? I don't want to see her coming home every day crying" "I'm sure the Ponyville school ponies are very friendly, and their friends' children, then, seem to me to be great companions for Snowflake." "Maybe you are right" "I'm always right dear" Rainbow Dash smiled and leaned closer to his chest. "Good night Soar I love you ..." "I love you too" And so they both fell asleep for the rest of the night. _____________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash brought Snowflake to play in the park while Soarin was at Wonderbolt Academy. "Mommy! Mommy! Can I play?" Snowflake said "Sure, but be careful" Rainbow Dash said Snowflake nodded and ran for the park. "Hello Rainbow!" Said Twilight "Hi Twilight" Rainbow said "Did you bring Snowflake to play in the park today?" "Yeah, I thought it would be good for her, and I'm honestly not quite sure about her going to the same school as other foals, you know today's foals can be pretty cruel." "Hey don't worry Rainbow, my daughter Nova Star Sparkle studies there, and from what she tells me the foals seem to me to be very kind." "Perhaps" Snowflake was running through the park when suddenly she didn't see that there was a tree right in front, and so she hit the tree. "SNOWFLAKE!" Rainbow Dash said as she ran to her fallen filly. "Are you alright?" "Yes ... I think ... I just didn't see this tree in front of me ..." "Well I think we better get back home" ______________________________________ To be continued...
The First day of SchoolIt was another beautiful morning in Ponyville, and in a cloud house was a beautiful blue foal with white mane and a blue strand still sleeping in dreamland. Snowflake was sleeping soundly while she held her teddy bear. Suddenly her bedroom door opened revealing her mother Rainbow Dash. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she walked over to the bed where her baby was sleeping. She then gave a slight push to wake Snowflake but she was still sleeping soundly. Soon after another push from her mother Snowflake finally began to open his eyes. "Snow wake up, today is your first day of school" Snowflake yawned and then bent to hug her mother. "Do I really have to go?" Snowflake said "Trust me Snow, I'm sure it will be really cool" Dash said "I think..." "Good morning girls, is Snow ready for the first day of school?" Soarin said as she entered the room. "I'm still a little nervous, I mean, what if they don't like me?" Snowflake said "Hey don't worry about it I'm sure they will love you, after all there is no way not to like an amazing filly like you right my little Snow" Soarin said as he took Snowflake and kissed her forehead. "Ok, I think maybe it's cool ..." Snowflake said "That's the spirit" Rainbow Dash said ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash and Soarin walked Snowflake to Ponyville School. "Mommy" "What?" "I'm afraid..." Rainbow Dash then put a wing on Snowflake's back and pulled closer to her. "Hey don't worry, it's going to be all right" Rainbow Dash said "Are you sure?" Snowflake said "Yeah, besides my friends' kids study at this school, I'm sure some of them will want to be your friend" Dash said "Same?" Snowflake said "Of course right Soarin?" Rainbow said looking at Soarin "Yes, you will see, I'm sure everyone in your room will want to be your friend and there's no way you can't like an amazing filly like you my little Snow" Soarin said "I think" ______________________________________ When they arrived at school, they stopped in front of the entrance door. "Are you quiet Snow?" Rainbow Dash asked "Yes ... I think so ..." Snowflake said Cheerilee then walked to the door when she noticed Rainbow Dash and Soarin with their daughter. "Good morning Rainbow Dash and Soarin, did you come bring little Snowflake to study today?" She said Snowflake was simply hidden behind her mother's hind legs. Cheerilee laughed. "Hey don't worry little one, I'm sure everyone here will like you and you will make many friends!" Cheerilee said "You heard Snow, come on don't be shy," Rainbow Dash said as she pushed Snowflake closer to Cheerilee. "An .... Hello ...." Snowflake said shyly, Cheerilee smiled. "Hello I am teacher Cheerilee, I will teach you about various things a pony needs to know, so if you allow me I would love to introduce you to everything around here" Cheerilee said Snowflake then looked at his parents who gave an approving nod, then Snowflake nodded and began following Cheerilee into the classroom. "Hey wait a little filly, not a kiss for your parents?" Snowflake listened, so she quickly ran to her parents and kissed their cheeks, which they returned with several others. "See you soon Snowflake we love you" Rainbow Dash said After that Snowflake ran to the living room door and entered it. ______________________________________ Snowflake escorted Cheerilee into the living room, and when the two entered, all eyes were on the new foal. "Good morning students, today we have a new filly who will study with us here from now on, students welcome Snowflake!" Cheerilee said Snowflake was still very nervous, she wanted to know what the other foals were thinking of her, she could feel the friendly and the unfriendly looks. "Why don't you say something to Snowflake?" Cheerilee said. "Uh ... well .... I'm ... snow ... flake ..." she said shyly "Snowflake why don't you sit with Princess Nova Star Sparkle and Li'l Cheese?" "OK..." Cheerilee accompanied Snowflake to the table where Nova Star Sparkle and Li'l Cheese sat. "Girls explain to Snowflake everything she needs to know ok?" "But of course Miss Cheerilee" said New Star Sparkle With that Cheerilee left Snowflake with the two foals. "Hello! I'm Li'l Cheese! That's the Princess Nova Star Sparkle, you're Snowflake right?" Li'l Cheese said "Yes..." "It's very nice to meet you!" Snowflake simply blushed "Well then Snowflake have you ever been to school before?" Nova Star Sparkle said "No ... I don't think so ..." It was then that the two foals repaired Snowflake's eyes. "Why are your eyes so bright?" Asked Li'l Cheese Snowflake's eyes widened and didn't respond "You are blind?" Said New Star Sparkle Snowflake cringed and looked like she was about to cry. "I hear we have a blind colt here in the room? Seriously, you should be in a blind school with other ponies like yourself!" Said a foal in the room "Yes, go back to the Everfree Forest Bat!" Said another filly Snowflake was now completely teary-eyed. "Don't mind those Snowflake idiots" said Nova Star Sparkle Snowflake quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Cheerilee noticed this and said: "Are you alright Snowflake?" "Yes, I think so..." "Alright then, if you need anything you can come talk to me right?" Snowflake nodded Then Cheerilee started the class. ______________________________________ At the end of the class all the foals rushed out of the room, when Snowflake was leaving the room the two foals who provoked her earlier bumped into her on purpose and then she fell to the floor. "See you tomorrow, idiot!" The filly said after that she and the other foal left. "You need help?" a foal asked, Snowflake nodded and then the foal helped her to her feet. "Don't listen to these two idiots, they're the brothers Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt they keep teasing the foals in the room, but you just have to ignore them." "Thanks..." "Alright, you're Snowflake right? Nice to meet you I'm Butterfly March" "The pleasure is all mine ..." "But then is it true what they said? Are you blind?" Snowflake lowered his ears and cringed a little. "Hey don't worry, I won't make fun of you, quite the contrary I want to be your friend!" "M-My friend?" "Hello girls, how are you here?" Said Nova Star Sparkle as she and Li'l Cheese approached Butterfly March and Snowflake. "Yes I was just telling Snowflake that she now has a new friend" Butterfly March said "That's very nice, actually she has three new friends, because Star and I would love to be her friends too!" said Li'l Cheese "Thanks girls ... I don't even know what to say ... I've never had friends before ..." Snowflake said "Don't worry about it you will still have many friends ahead of you" said Nova Star Sparkle "Snowflake!" Snowflake immediately recognized that voice. That was the voice of her parents. "Well I have to go, my parents are here" Snowflake said "Alright until tomorrow Snowflake, we love to meet you!" Said Nova Star Sparkle, with that Snowflake ran to where her parents were. When she got there she gave her parents a huge hug "So how was the first day of little filly?" Said Soarin "It was cool, we learned a lot and I made new friends" Snowflake said "That's very good, I knew you would like it, so are you ready for tomorrow?" Rainbow Dash said "I guess so" "Ok and today are you ready to visit Wonderbolt Academy?" Snowflake then started jumping around with a smile "Well I'll take that as a yes" ______________________________________ To be continued...
Visit The Wonderbolt AcademyRainbow Dash and Soarin flew with Snowflake on their backs for a day at Wonderbolt Academy, they had warned Spitfire before so she was probably waiting for them. "Right here we are Snow, Wonderbolt Academy" Soarin said as she landed on the floor. "I can't believe I'm here," Snowflake said as he jumped excitedly on his mother's back. "Yeah, it's been a long time since your dad and I wanted to bring you here, you only came here once or twice when you were a baby," Rainbow Dash said as he helped Snowflake down off his back. "Hey Clipper, Crash! I was waiting for you!" Spitfire said as she flew toward the three ponies. "Hi Spitfire, sorry for the delay we had to get Snowflake from school first" Rainbow Dash said "No problem Crash, so how's our little future Wonderbolt?" Spitfire said Snowflake blushed with embarrassment, she was no doubt a very shy pony just like her aunt Fluttershy. "II'm fine, mrs Spitfire ..." "Hey don't have to be shy around me I'm a pony like any other, and if you think I'll yell at you you can be calm that only with you I can be a little more harmless" Snowflake was relieved by that, which means she had heard many of her parents' stories about Spitfire screaming and being very rigid at times, but now she had no reason to worry anymore. "Well what do you think about getting to know the gym little?" Spitfire said "I would love that mrs Spitfire" Snowflake said "You don't have to use these formalities with me, just call me Spitfire" Snowflake blushed and nodded. "Oh damn Soarin, we forgot we had a mandatory workout for this afternoon" Rainbow Dash said "Yeah I really forgot about that Snowflake, do you mind making this visit by yourself with Aunt Spitfire? No need to worry your mom and i we'll be back soon and we'll be right next to you" Soarin said Snowflake nodded, Rainbow Dash then leaned over and kissed her foal on the forehead. "I wish you a good ride Snow, if you need anything ask Spitfire she will help you with that." "Ok mommy" Rainbow Dash then approached Spitfire and whispered in his ear. "Please do my best to prevent her from flying I can't stand the thought of seeing her hurt" "Be quiet Crash, that won't be a problem" With that Soarin and Rainbow Dash flew toward the training ground. "So are you ready for the ride little?" ______________________________________ A few hours later and Spitfire was finishing showing the gym to Snowflake "And here is our Top Bolt, it's a list of the best Wonderbolts we have" "Are my parents one of them?" "Undoubtedly small, your mother is in the background right after me and your father right after her" "Wow" "Well your parents are very talented and one day you will surely be like them" "Do you really think?" "Undoubtedly small" Snowflake blushed "Thanks ... I'm glad you think so but ... I think I'll never be a big fly like my parents ..." Snowflake said lowering his ears "Because you think like that?" "Well you know .... Because of my vision problem, I don't think a pegasu like me would be able to become a big fly ..." Spitfire then approached her and put a wing on her back. "Hey don't worry about it small, there have been big flyers with problems similar to yours, and they haven't given up on their goals, I'm sure your vision won't be a problem for you, I'm sure you're a pony as talented as your parents " "Thanks Spitfire ..." "Hey Spitfire! And look what we have here, isn't this the so famous daughter of Rainbow Dash and Soarin?" Fleetfoot said as she flew to the two ponies. "Hi Fleetfoot, yes today Dash Junior came to visit the gym!" "Oh but that's amazing! I always wondered when Clipper and Crash were bringing this little girl to visit us, and how are you doing little?" Fleetfoot said "I'm fine ..." Snowflake said "Enjoying the ride?" "Certainty" "And you know what can make this visit even better, you know the rest of our team, just wait a second I'll be right back," Fleetfoot said as she flew away. A few seconds later she returned in the company of Misty Fly, Surprise and Wave Chill. "And then Fleetfoot where is our little Wonderbolt?" said Misty Fly as they walked to Spitfire and Snowflake. "Just look right in front of you Misty Fly" said Fleetfoot "Oh but she's not the cutest thing!" Said Surprise "She can undoubtedly become an excellent Wonderbolt one day," said Wave Chill. "That's what I was telling her," said Spitfire. Snowflake was flushed with embarrassment at all the compliments coming from the Wonderbolts. "Look until she's flushed she's cute!" Said Surprise ______________________________________ A few minutes later Rainbow Dash and Soarin finally came back and when they found their daughter talking to the Wonderbolts they smiled. "So Snow how was the ride with Aunt Spitfire?" Rainbow Dash said When Snowflake heard her parents she immediately ran over to them and gave them a tight hug. "And then will you tell us how your day went?" Soarin said "Well" ______________________________________ To be continued...
Bullying at SchoolThe next day Snowflake was sitting with her friends: Li'l Cheese, Butterfly March and Nova Star Sparkle in the classroom. "Oh I love school! It's always so cool!" Said Li'l Cheese "Yes studying is always great, I learned this from my mother Princess Twilight Sparkle" said Nova Star Sparkle "Wait, are you Twilight's daughter?" Snowflake asked "Yeah, didn't you know? Li'l Cheese is the daughter of Pinkie Pie and Butterfly March is the daughter of Fluttershy. And also has Apple Sweet daughter of Applejack and Lumina daughter of Rarity, but they didn't come to school these days I don't know what why, but you'll like them too when you meet them! " Said New Star Sparkle "I guess so" "Hello girls! Sorry for the delay but Lumina took too long to get ready as usual ..." Said a foal as she approached the other four ponies sitting at the table. "Darling have you never heard that fashion is life? My mom keeps teaching me that" another filly said "Mine says this is freshness!" "What? How dare you-" Then they stopped arguing when they heard someone clearing their throat. "Arguing about these nonsense again girls?" Said Butterfly March "It's not silly it's just-" Lumina was cut off when she noticed the new foal on her friends' table. "Girls who is she?" Lumina asked "Lumina, Apple Sweet, this is Snowflake she's new here at school!" Li'l Cheese said "Nice to meet you Suggercube" Apple Sweet said "Yes we really are happy to meet her, I'm Lumina and this is Apple Sweet. Don't notice if I argue with her sometimes, but we're both like sisters" Lumina said "I'm very happy to meet you girls ..." Snowflake said shyly Then the two foals fixed Snowflake's eyes. "Why are your eyes so bright?" Apple Sweet asked "You are blind?" Lumina asked Snowflake cringed at the question "Well I'm..." "Snowflake girls are kind of shy and she's very sensitive when they talk about her vision" explained Nova Star Sparkle "Oh but don't worry about it Darling, we do you no harm because of it," said Lumina "True Suggercube, here we are all friends and now you are our friend" Apple Sweet said and Snowflake smiled "Thanks girls ... You two are daughters of Rarity and Applejack aren't you?" Snowflake said "Yes we are! How did you know?" Apple Sweet asked "Well I think I know your mother, you are all so much like your mother and they are very close friends with my mother Rainbow Dash" Snowflake said "But that's very cool, isn't it? Our mothers are best friends, and now the six of us who are their daughters are!" Li'l Cheese said "Yes that's quite a coincidence" Butterfly March said Soon after the twins Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt approached the six foals. "Hello, what do we have here, brother? The six losers and the most loser yet, Snowbat, mean girl back to the forest you came from," Sandstorm said. "It's true sister look at her she shouldn't even be here at school!" Thunder Bolt said "Hey, leave her alone! You have nothing else to do but hell with the lives of others?" Apple Sweet said defending her friend "Yes, you don't know how ridiculous you are!" Lumina said "It's true to mess with our friend you have to mess with agent first!" said Li'l Cheese and Butterfly March nodded "Wow, what a fear we are!" Thunder Bolt said sarcastically "You better stop now because if we don't tell Miss Cheerilee everything!" Said Nova Star Sparkle "Okay alright we'll stop, not because you asked, but because we don't want to spend saliva with losers like you, even more Snowbat!" Sandstorm said as she and Thunder Bolt flew to their table. "Thank you girls ..." Snowflake said "No problem, anything you can count on," said New Star Sparkle, Snowflake smiled. Soon after Cheerilee entered the room and began to teach. ______________________________________ In the middle of class Snowflake felt a great urge to go to the bathroom. "Uh, Miss Cheerilee?" Snowflake said "Yes Snowflake?" Cheerilee said "Can I go to the bathroom? I swear it will be fast" "Alright you can go, do you want me to walk you there or can you go by yourself?" "I think I can go by myself ..." "OK then" With that Snowflake walked out of the room and went to the bathroom. "Miss Cheerilee?" Sandstorm said "Yes Sandstorm?" Cheerilee said "Can I go to the bathroom too? You know I'm in a crazy mood to go there, and if you want I can even help Snowba- I mean Snowflake find the bathroom." "Ok you can go" Then Sandstorm flew out of the room and into the bathroom. ______________________________________ Snowflake was in the bathroom and was preparing to return to the living room until she heard a voice. "Hello Snowbat!" She knew very well whose voice this was, Sandstorm was one of the foals who kept teasing her. "Hi ...." "Seriously, I don't know what you're still doing here at school and you're not even welcome, you should stay at Everfree Forest with your bat friends, I'm sure there you will identify much more there than here. , so why don't you move soon and leave everyone alone! " Sandstorm said as he pushed Snowflake to the ground. Snowflake was on the floor not knowing what to do, all she had to do at that moment was cry. "What's up? It's gonna cry? But it's a baby, isn't it? I heard your mother is Rainbow Dash right? Look I think you're adopted because she looks at you and looks at your mother, she's Equestria's best flying and Wonderbolt, you both have absolutely NOTHING in common, I bet she's even ashamed of a failed foal that you can't even see its hooves! " These insults were making Snowflake cry in fear on the bathroom floor not knowing what to do as the foal laughed wickedly at her. Then Nova Star Sparkle came into the bathroom and saw her friend being harassed by the foal. "What's going on here?" She asked "Oh nothing little princess, Snowbat just stumbled and fell to the ground and now it's crying like a baby, well I better go!" Sandstorm said as he left the bathroom Nova Star Sparkle then approached her friend and helped her to her feet. "Are you alright?" "Yes, I think so..." "What happened here?" "Nothing ... I just tripped and fell like Sandstorm said" "Are you sure?" "Yes..." Nova Star Sparkle nodded and decided not to investigate further. Soon after the two foals returned to the classroom. ______________________________________ A week later... Snowflake week at school has had its good side and its bad side. The good thing was, she had great friends she could always tell and they were always there for her, and the bad thing was that Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt's provocations to Snowflake didn't stop, but the provocations only got worse. Snowflake's friends always defended her when they noticed the taunts, but they weren't with her all the time, and when they weren't she didn't know how to fend off the taunts, she was too shy and sweet to do anything. She didn't tell her parents about the teasing even to Cheerilee. She knew they were silly insults but sometimes they made jokes and insults that crossed the line, and she could do nothing about it. The result was this, she was harassed at school because of her differences, even though she was too shy to do anything to defend herself, she still stood firm and strong. But what she didn't know was that today was going to be the worst day of her life at school. It was school recess time, and everyone in the room was gathered in the courtyard in front of Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt. "And today my sister and I would like to give the title of weirdest school pony to Snowflake!" Thunder Bolt said "I think you meant Snowbat brother!" Sandstorm said Then everyone in the room started laughing. Snowflake was with her friends across the yard as she listened to the insults of the two foals. "These two are very stupid!" Said Apple Sweet "Yes they have no idea of ridicule!" Lumina said "Calm girls just ignore it" said Nova Star Sparkle Then the twins began flying toward the six friends along with a group of ponies. "Look guys the bat is hiding with his friends!" Sandstorm said while laughing and everyone started laughing too That's when Snowflake got up the courage and decided to tackle them for the first time. "Enough now! I've been putting up with your teasing a lot but that's awesome!" Snowflake said "Look Thunder Snowbat finally decided to brave us? I doubt she has the courage to face us again after that," Sandstorm said, waving at his brother. Thunder Bolt then picked up a baseball bat and used it to hit Snowflake. All the ponies around were laughing at the foal's situation. When she was all hurt and unable to defend herself she simply lay on the floor and began to cry. "That's what you deserve for being in this stupid school! Look around nobody here likes you and your friends don't even tell you because they are complete idiots just like you and if you want real friends you'll die trying! But there guys let's get started! Bat! Bat! Bat! " Sandstorm said Then all the other foals started laughing and calling Snowflake a bat. "Enough Sandstorm! You and your brother have now crossed the line!" Said Nova Star Sparkle "You don't know how ridiculous you are doing this to a pony that can't even defend itself!" Lumina said Then the bell rang and all the foals rushed into the room. Snowflake's friends helped her into the room because she was too hurt to go alone. When Cheerilee realized the situation of the colt her eyes widened and then she quickly went to the wounded colt. "Oh my god, Snowflake! What happened to you?!" Snowflake's friends then told Cheerilee all about what had happened at recess and the other bullying events of the week. At the end of the day everyone went home except Snowflake, Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt. They had stayed for a meeting with their parents. When Rainbow Dash and Soarin arrived at school and saw their daughter injured, they immediately ran to her and hugged her. "Snow, what happened to you ?!" Rainbow Dash said desperately Snowflake didn't answer she simply put her face on her mother's chest and began to cry as Rainbow Dash hugged her. Soon after she was in mother bear mode. "So we just have to wait for Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt's mom to arrive and then we can start," Cheerilee said. Soon after the door to the living room opened revealing the mother of the twins. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in surprise to see who it was. "Hello Rainbow Dash, how long isn't it?" It was Lightning Dust, Rainbow Dash's old rival "Lightning Dust! I should have known these were your children! And I can't believe you're living near Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said in an annoyed tone "For you to see how life is full of surprises" Lightning Dust said "Very well can we start?" Cheerilee asked and everyone nodded. "Very well today at the time of recess the daughter of Rainbow Dash and Soarin was harassed by the foals Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt, and from what they told me this was not the only time they did it, but today has crossed the line because I want to report that bullying here is inadmissible here. Miss Lightning Dust do you have anything to say about what your children did? " Cheerilee said "I have nothing to say if my children did this they must have had their reasons!" Lightning Dust said Rainbow Dash was raging right now, and Soarin was trying her best to calm her down. "How can you say that ?! My Snow would never do anything to your children! She's just the sweetest, shyest, kindest thing there is. I'm sure she would never do a lake like that!" Dash said "Yes, but if you were really smart Rainbow Dash you would have put your daughter in a blind institution where they would have ponies with the same problem as hers, to prevent that kind of thing from happening!" Lightning Dust said Rainbow Dash was now seething with anger. "You, you ...." She said "Dash please calm down" Soarin said rubbing his wife's shoulders to try to calm her down. "Miss Lightning Dust I am sorry to say that but you are wrong, as are your children and because of this reckless behavior they have had I will have no choice but to suspend for two weeks at school, and I hope that when you come home you talk to them about it "Cheerilee said Lightning Dust rolled her eyes but nodded, so she got up and left with her two children. "Look Mr. and Mrs. Dash I'm so sorry for what happened today, I promise I'll do everything to make it not happen again" Cheerilee said "Alright Miss Cheerilee, thanks," Rainbow Dash said as she picked up her daughter and put her on her back before taking off with Soarin home. ______________________________________ To be continued...
Friendly ComfortLater that day Snowflake was sitting on the couch crying in her mother's chest as she hugged her tightly and kissed her head. "Shhhhhhhh it's alright Snow, mommy is here with you" Rainbow Dash said as she stroked her daughter's head. "Mommy I don't want to go to school anymore" Snowflake said while crying "Snow don't say that, you need to go to school" Soarin said "But if I go again they will hit me again ..." Snowflake said "They won't do it because I won't let it happen to you again," Rainbow Dash said as she kissed Snowflake's head. By night everyone went to sleep, Rainbow Dash was sleeping in his bed when suddenly the door opened revealing a foal with a half frightened face. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she opened her eyes "I had a nightmare ... I dreamed that all the foals in the room beat me and called me a bat ..." Rainbow Dash then flew over to her daughter and picked her up in her hooves, then flew back to bed and the two of them lay together. "Don't worry about the nightmares they are not real" "Are you sure? Because it seemed very real to me, and besides that it's true ... I think Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt are right, I think no one in the room likes me and they are also right when they say I look like adopted for not having much in common with you or daddy because you guys are great flyers and I am ... "Snowflake stopped and then started crying in his mother's chest. Rainbow Dash hugged her daughter and tried her best to comfort her. "Don't mind that, they don't know what they are saying, but promise me something?" "What?" "Never let anyone compare you to me or your father" "I don't know if I promise ..." Soarin then woke up and noticed his daughter in bed. "Snowflake? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Soarin asked "Good..." ______________________________________ Two days passed and Snowflake had not yet returned to school. She was afraid of being harassed again, her parents were trying their best to comfort her and convince her that she shouldn't care about the teasing, but she found it difficult. Of course she was a very sensitive pony, and any unpleasant comments could really hurt. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she and Soarin were standing in their daughter's bedroom door. "Yes mommy?" "Are you alright? You haven't left home or eaten for two days" Snowflake nodded "Snow, your mother and I are very worried about you, we don't want to see you in this state" Soarin said "I don't like it much either but ... I'm really not feeling like anything else ..." Rainbow Dash and Soarin looked at each other and decided to respect their daughter's wishes, but still they were very concerned about her, no way did they like to see their daughter in isolation and want nothing more from life. So they decided to do something to try to help her. Rainbow Dash called Snowflake's friends to talk to her so they might try to convince her to go back to school. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said standing in the doorway "Yes mom?" "I brought some ponies that really want to see you" She opened the door revealing Snowflake's friends: Nova Star Sparkle, Lumina, Apple Sweet, Li'l Cheese and Butterfly March. "Hello Snowflake!" Li'l Cheese said "I'll let you guys talk just call me downstairs," Rainbow Dash said as she walked away and left the foals talking to themselves. "So how are you doing Snow?" Asked Nova Star Sparkle "I'm fine I think ..." Snowflake said "Why don't you go to school anymore?" Apple Sweet said "Well I..." "Snow if this is because of those two idiots you don't have to worry because I'm sure after meeting with your parents they won't do any more teasing to you" Lumina said "I agree with Lumina, Snow go back to school, you miss there" Butterfly March said "Well I..." "Come on Snow! Say you're coming back!" Li'l Cheese said "Well ... Okay alright, I'll be right back ..." "Yay! Group hug girls!" Li'l Cheese said Then their foals joined in for a friendly hug. Unbeknownst to them, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were standing in the doorway watching the foals. "It's great that our Snow has such good friends, isn't it Soarin?" "Yes surely" ______________________________________ To be continued...
The RaceA few days passed and the race day had finally come. Rainbow Dash was worried about letting her baby run, especially when she was blind. "Oh Soarin, I don't know if I should let Snowflake participate in this race ..." "I know I'm insecure about all this too but we have to respect our daughter's decision" "I know but ... What if she gets hurt? I don't want to see her in a hospital bed, and if-" Dash was cut off by Soarin kissing her on the lips. A few seconds passed and the kiss broke. "Don't worry, everything will be all right, our daughter will be fine," he said as he put a hoof around Dash and pulled her closer to him. "I hope so..." "Mommy, can we go now?" Snowflake said and her parents nodded ______________________________________ Rainbow Dash and Soarin landed with Snowflake on the Wonderbolt Academy race track, where all the invited ponies for the race were gathered. "We all wish you good luck Snow" Fluttershy said "Yes, don't worry Sugarcubbe you'll be fine" Applejack said "Thanks guys ... I'll need it" Snowflake said "Can we all get ready for this race right away? I want my children to win this race soon and prove they are better than this bat" Lightning Dust said "I think it's good that you be careful with your words Lightning Dust! Because my daughter trained very hard with me!" Rainbow Dash said "Yes, of course, but I don't think you knew this race is flying right?" Dash's eyes widened, she obviously didn't know it would be a flight race, she thought it would be a normal race, just for running. "You didn't tell me anything about being a flight race" "I thought it was pretty obvious, wasn't it? After all our kids are pegasus, and pegasus need to fly. But from what I understand you don't even mind teaching your daughter how to fly like a normal catch." "It's not that I don't care! I just care about her! You know very well that this can be very dangerous for a filly like her, I do care!" "Yes we will see that in the race" with that Lightning Dust stepped away and went to her children at the starting line. Rainbow Dash was desperate now, she never wanted to teach her daughter how to fly, and for good reason. She was blind, and because of that she could get hurt at any moment. "Are you ok Dashie?" Soarin said as he approached Dash "No, Soarin this race is flying. I've never taught Snowflake to fly, how will she participate in this race like that? She would have to leave the school where she studies because of it!" "This is really a problem ... But don't worry I'm sure it will be all right" "But that's not just what worries me ... I'm very afraid that she will be hurt by being blind, if anything happens to her I would never forgive myself." Soarin approached Dash and put a hoof around her. And hugged her "Hey don't worry Dashie, I'm sure our daughter will be fine, she's a strong foal just like her mother. I'm sure she'll make it, just trust me" "I hope you're right Soarin ..." Dash said as she snuggled into Soarin's chest ______________________________________ When the time came the race was about to begin. Both Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were preparing their children for the race. "Look kids, all that really matters in this race is your victory! Now go and defeat the Rainbow Dash's daughter!" Lightning Dust said "Right mom!" Thunder Bolt and Sandstorm said in unison Rainbow Dash and Soarin were across the track comforting their daughter before the race started, she really needed it now "Don't worry honey, we're sure you'll make it. Don't worry about what others say, know you're our Snow and we trust you because more than anyone else we know you very well and know the your potential "Soarin said "Thank you Daddy..." "Let's race is about to begin," Dash said as she left the track with Soarin, but not before hugging her daughter and placing a soft kiss on her head. "All ready for the race?" Twilight said with a megaphone, and everyone nodded. "Good Luck loser!" Sandstorm said "We met you at the finish line, To celebrate our victory" Thunder Bolt said "I think so ..." Snowflake said "Very well ponies, 1 ... 2 ... 3! GO!" Twilight said With that Thunder Bolt and Sandstorm quickly flew off the starting line, while Snowflake was trying to fly but couldn't. Rainbow Dash saw her daughter's difficulty so decided to do something to help her. "You can do it Snow!" Soon after all the ponies that know and love Snowflake began to cheer and encourage her to fly. With all this encouragement, she finally managed to get off the ground and began flying to try to reach the twins. "That's my girl" Dash said with a tear in her eyes The twins decided to take a break to rest. "That bat will never beat us, we can sit here and sleep all day long and she will never reach us" Thunder Bolt said "Yeah!" Sandstorm said with that they decided to take a nap Snowflake was flying very slowly, perhaps because she has never flown or practiced before, and is blind. She then unknowingly overtook the twins and was almost winning the race. "But what are they doing? THUNDER BOLT, SANDSTORM WAKE UP! DO YOU WANT THAT BAT TO COME YOU ?!" Lightning Dust shouted With that the twins woke up and tried to overtake Snowflake but it was too late she had already crossed the finish line. "UHUHUHUH SNOWFLAKE YOU WON WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" Pinkie Pie said "You really deserved Darling!" Rarity said "Thank you guys," Snowflake said blushing a little as all her friends came and hugged her and congratulated her. "Oh Snow, your father and I are so proud of you!" Dash said "Yes, I'm sure one day you will still be a great flyer" Soarin said "So that's it? Did my children lose to a blind pony? I'd never think of something like that. So I guess now my children will have to leave school right?" Lightning Dust said "That's what we all hope for," Dash said. "No! They don't have to leave school, I just want them to stop disturbing me ... And I sincerely forgive them all," Snowflake said "Snowflake you're so sweet, that's very noble of you" Twilight said "Well if it's like that, okay my children will never disturb you disturbing you at school kid, and thanks for that, now let's go kids" Lightning Dust said as she flew her children away "At least everything turned out well, everyone left happy" Starlight said ______________________________________ To be continued...
A Big SurpriseA few days passed after the race. Snowflake had won and proved to everyone that she was not weak. Everyone at school was congratulating her on her performance. "You really were amazing Snowflake" a filly said "Yes later you could teach us your moves" another foal said "Wow ... Really? An ... thanks guys" Snowflake said "Our friend is amazing!" Said Li'l Cheese "Yes, it's the best ever," said Apple Sweet "How do you feel about winning the Snow race?" Butterfly March asked "Well I feel the same I think, but I'm happy with myself that I did it, I never thought I was able to fly," Snowflake said. "But you did it and that's what matters" Lumina said Soon after Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt approached Snowflake. "An ... Hi Snowflake ..." Thunder Bolt said "What do you want here? You came to mock our friend again ?!" Novs Star Sparkle said "No, actually we just wanted to apologize for everything we did before, my brother and I are really sorry for everything we did to you Snowflake" Sandstorm said "And we understand if you don't forgive us, we just wanted to let you know we're sorry," Thunder said shortly afterwards he and his sister started to walk away "Wait! I forgive you" Snowflake said The twins turned to face the filly and smiled shyly. "Thank you" ______________________________________ A year later Snowflake was finally six years old, and was living happier than ever with his parents and friends. And now it was the time of year she liked best. The winter. She loved to feel the snow, even though she can't see what it really is like, she still loved it from the heart. One day when she was in the yard of her house playing in the snow she began to collect the snowflakes falling from the sky. And with that she would take them home and start making various kinds and sculptures and other kinds of crafts with the snowflakes. Once her parents came into her room and saw her making their sculptures then they decided to interrogate. "Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said "Yes mommy?" "About these sculptures you are making ..." "Is that bothering you? Oh I'm sorry mommy and daddy I swear I won't do this anymore-" "No honey, we just want to know how you did it" Soarin said "I don't really know ... I just do it, I pick up the snowflakes and start modeling in various ways I can imagine" "Well your sculptures really are amazing, I think you really have a great talent for that" Dash said "Do you really think?" Dash nodded. "I'm sure" Suddenly a light appeared on Snowflake's flank as Dash and Soarin disappeared in wonder at what they saw. "What happened mommy?" "Looks like someone got a Cutie Mark!" Snowflake's eyes widened "What ?! Really?" "Yes!" "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I can't believe I now have my own Cutie Mark! But how exactly is?" "It's three crystal snowflakes" Soarin said Snowflake wasn't believing all she was doing at that moment was jumping from side to side with such joy. "I can't wait to tell my friends!" _____________________________________ To be continued...
FINALA few months later after Snowflake finally discovered her talent, Rainbow Dash decided it was finally time to teach her daughter how to fly. Snowflake was very excited when her mother said that after a long time she was going to teach her how to fly. "Snow are you ready for your first flight lesson?" Dash said "Yes!!!" Snowflake said excitedly "Well then let's go" Soarin said Now Rainbow Dash was no longer afraid to let her daughter fly. Because after the race she proved she could be a great flyer, and that made Rainbow Dash come to the conclusion that it was high time. ______________________________________ "Come on Snow you can do it!" Dash said "I don't know if I can do this" Snowflake said "Come on Snow you've done it before, let's go you will get it" Soarin said With that then Snowflake started to come off the ground, and when she realized she was flying. "You did it! Oh Snow your father and I are so proud of you" Dash said "Now your mother and I will fly to a cloud and you will try to reach us" Soarin said "Ok" With that Soarin and Rainbow Dash flew to a cloud, and Snowflake tried to keep up. "Come on Snow you can do it!" Snowflake flew as high as possible and finally she had made it to her parents. Soarin and Rainbow Dash then pulled her into a huge hug. "This is our little filly" Soon after Snowflake's friends arrived and invited her to play. She then said goodbye to her parents with another hug and a kiss on the cheek. Dash and Soarin were still sitting on the cloud just watching their daughter run to play with their friends. "Our little daughter is growing up Soar" "Yeah, as hard as we have to let her go one day, she will still be our little filly" Dash then nodded and put his head on Soarin's chest and he put a wing around her. "She'll be a great flyer one day, that's for sure" Dash said "Yes she will be as good as her mother," Soarin said as him kissed Dash's cheek, and she returned with a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you Soar" "I love you too Dashie" ______________________________________ End....
The ProposalTwo weeks later the suspension of Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt had already been long. But since they went back to school they no longer teased Snowflake, she was grateful for that. It was now weekend and all the foals and fillies were resting at home. Snowflake loved the weekends because she could spend all the time with her parents. "Mommy?" "What?" "Do you think Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt are going to tease me again?" Snowflake asked "No, I don't think so, after the punishment they took I doubt they'll make any kind of provocation with you," Dash said. "Even if they did your mother and I would be there to defend you Snow, we will never let anything or anyone hurt you" Soarin said Soon the three ponies joined in for a family hug. The moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who could it be?" Soarin said "I'll see who it is," Dash said as he got up from the couch and walked toward the door and opened it, revealing Lightning Dust and her two children. "Hello Rainbow Dash" she said "Lightning Dust? What are you doing here? It's not enough what your children did with my Snow" Dash said "I know and that's precisely why I'm here, I want to settle things civilly" "And what form would that be?" "A race" Dash raised an eyebrow "You know my children and I have never been as humiliated as that day at school, so we want to put an end to this problem at once. One race, your daughter against my children who wins stays at school and who loses get out. if your daughter beats my children they will never tease her either, so what do you tell me? " "I would never agree to such a thing, just forget it and-" Dash was cut off by her daughter's tail tug "Snow what you?" "I can talk to you?" Dash nodded. "Well, I think I should accept the proposal ..." "No way Snow! You can get hurt, and that can be very dangerous!" "I know but ... This can also be a way for me to prove to everyone at once that I can do something right at least once, everyone tells me that I can't do anything because of my vision, and also would be an opportunity to stop all the provocations there at school " Dash sighed and put a hoof around her daughter. "Are you sure this is what you want?" Snowflake nodded. Then Dash turned back to Lightning Dust. "We accept your proposal" "Great!" _____________________________________ To be continued....
