My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship

Rainbow Dash was enjoying her day when suddenly, she noticed a stallion approach Lightning Dust. Rainbow Dash growled and dashed over, with Pharynx and Scootaloo not far behind.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"R-Rainbow!" Lightning Dust said. "J-just forget me. You don't know what he's capable of..." She added.

"So, we meet at last, Rainbow Dash. But I guess I should really call you, Lamebow Dash. And once I'm through with you, that nickname is gonna stick to you like glue." The stallion said.

"You're asking for trouble buddy." Rainbow Dash warned.

"Please Dash...you don't want to go up against my brother..." Lighting Dust said.

"So this is your brother? Somehow, I expected someone looking well...different." Rainbow Dash admitted.

"Your one to talk. You should know me as Clear Skies. I may not be a wonderbolt like you are right now, but I am very famous. After all, I'm the only Pegasus known for being able to wrangle up Parasprites." The Stallion said.

"Those things? I've encountered those. I happen to know thanks to a friend of mine they are easily attracted to music." Rainbow Dash said. That made Clear Skies's eyes go wide.

"...MUSIC? YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I'VE BEEN WRANGLING PARASPRITES THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY WHEN ALL I'VE EVER HAD TO DO WAS SIMPLY USE MUSIC TO CAPTURE THEM?!" Clear Skies exclaimed.

"Oh boy...my brother is pissed now." Lightning Dust said. Suddenly the wonderbolts showed up, as did Hoops, Hops, and Dumbull. And shortly after them, Crescent Moon arrived shortly after as did three specific pegasi, Rainbow Dash knew as the Wonderbolt Higher Ups.

"What are they all doing here?" Lighting Dust asked. "Brother, you better not be trying to do what I think your going to do..." She added.

"I didn't call them. This was supposed to be between me and Rainbow Dash only." Clear Skies said.

"All we got was a text saying that the wonderbolts are to come to this exact spot alongside the manager; that's me; and the higher ups." Crecent Moon said.

"Well if you didn't call them brother, who did?" Lightning Dust asked.

"Well since they are here, that'll make things easier on me anyways." Clear Skies said. "Rainbow Dash, I hearby challenge you to a game of my own creation." He added before a cage containing Parasprites was brought in by some helper pegasi and both Clear Skies and Rainbow Dash were given baskets.

"What is this?" Spitfire asked.

"This is something I like to call Parasprite Wrangling. I may have zero chance against you, Lamebow Dash, during a race, but when it comes to Parasprite Wrangling I am uncontested. That's why if you want to keep yourself as a wonderbolt, you are going to win against me in my challenge. Because if you lose, you'll be stripped of your Wonderbolt Status once and for all." Clear Skies said.

"You've got to be joking me, my mother would never give up the Wonderbolts for anything." Scootaloo said.

"Oh but I'm not done. In fact, Scootaloo, your the other thing on the agenda. I believe that it was me who was the one that caused you to come into being, as such, that makes me your biological dad, and that's why if Rainbow Dash stays as a wonderbolt, she'll lose you as her child. Custody from there will be easy for me to obtain. She couldn't even beat me if she tried at that point." Clear Skies said.

"Brother...you didn't..." Lightining Dust said.

"See Rainbow Dash, this is what I like to call a 'No Win Situation'. For you see, there's more than just your future at stake here. If you manage to beat me in my challenge, you'll be allowed to keep your wonderbolt status free and clear, but you'll be unable to prevent custody of Scootaloo being transferred to me. Of course, should you lose to me in my challenge; and I know how much you hate losing; you'll be able to keep custody of Scootaloo sure, but you'll lose your spot in the wonderbolts for good. No coming back after a lose like this." Clear Skies said.

"That's just not fair." Pharynx said.

"Life isn't fair bug. Oh, and don't even think about denying my challenge Rainbow Dash, because you can't. Because thanks to my sister, I have the perfect ammo I need to get you kicked out of the Wonderbolts anyways." Clear Skies said. "And once word gets out about that ammo, you'll never be trusted ever again!" He added.

"Fine Clear Skies. I haven't backed down from a challenge, and I don't intend to start now." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah! My mom will find someway to fight you for custody of me." Scootaloo said. But something seemed different about her mother. Wait...mom...are...are you going to...you are, aren't you? Scootaloo thought to herself. She nodded in silence. I...I understand. Thank you mom; you still the most awesome mom in the world. This proves it. Scootaloo added to her thoughts. Rainbow Smiled at her daughter.

"Your so going to regret this later." Clear Skies said. "Soon Scootaloo will be mine, and there will be nothing you can do about it. So much for being the element of loyalty." He added.

"You won't be taking away Scootaloo if I have anything to do about it." Rainbow Dash said before the parasprites were released.

"The rules are simple: Whoever collects the most parasprites in thirty minutes wins." Clear Skies said. "Now go!" He added.

Up into the air both pegasi went, but everyone down below was seeing what Clear Skies wasn't.

"Is...is she..." One wonderbolt higher up said.

"That's the Rainbow Dash I've come to expect." Spitfire said with a smile.

"Seems she is..." The second wonderbolt higher up said.

"All for a child...she really is special." The third wonderbolt higher up said. Soon the thirty minutes were up, and the results were tallied. Clear Skies one by a very large margin. In fact, Clear Skies was angry.

"NOT A SINGLE ONE?!" Clear Skies exclaimed. "BUT YOUR RAINBOW DASH, YOU HATE LOSING!" He yelled.

"Yeah. I hate losing. But I'd rather stay loyal to who I am then stoop to your level. You were pushing me to win. I figured you out the moment you mentioned my wonderbolt membership was one the line." Rainbow Dash said. "But what you don't understand is that my loyalty to everypony; my friends and my family both; is where real winning is for me. If I had to choose between the Wonderbolts and my family, I'd choose my family every single time. That's the one thing I will never lose no matter what." "She explained as she stroked Scootaloo's mane.

"I...I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! THIS WAS NOT PART OF MY PLAN! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO WIN! BECAUSE AFTERWARDS I COULD GO AROUND SPREADING MIS-INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER REALLY HAVE LOYALTY TO ANYPONY BUT YOURSELF!" Clear Skies said. But everyone was staring at him suddenly and he noticed it. "...What? Whose going to believe you over me?" Clear Skies asked. A feminine cough made him go wide eyed. "...Princess Celestia is right behind me, isn't she?" Clear Skies said.

"And I just heard every word." Princess Celestia said. Clear Skies gulped.

"Welp...there went everything down the toilet..." Clear Skies said.

"Your highnesses!" Crecent Moon said. "This stallion was trying to tear Rainbow Dash apart in all sorts of ways." He added.

"I'm willing to get a full statement from Lightning Dust Later." Princesss Luna said. "But me and my sister did not come here for that." She added. Starlight suddenly showed up.

"Sorry I'm a bit late everypony. I just needed to wait for the royal sisters to finish up with court today to be able to come by for this." Starlight said. "So...did we miss anything?" She added.

"Wait she called everyone here? I have to ask why." One of the Wonderbolt Higher Ups said.

"It's in regards to Scootaloo's biological father. For after much testing both by myself and the royal scientists at Canterlot, I can say without a doubt who Scootaloo's Biological Father is!" Starlight said.
