Mother.

Rainbow Dash opens her eyes, all she can see is pure whiteness, after a few moments of blinking she regains her sight,  she looks around at her surroundings, only being able to make out basic shapes, she figures she is in a hospital room She see's a blob, from a distance it looked like black cloud but once the figure got closer she realized it was a pony "mum!?" Dashie asked

"No, Miss Dash, I am Officer Kit, I am sorry to say but your mother is missing and, well sorry to put it harshly, dead." Her mother is dead, what was going on through Dashie's mind at that point was multiple emotions "Would you like some time?" Dashie did not respond. All she could do was think of how her life would be from that point on, would she live with another family member she has never met or would she be left in an orphanage alone left to be forgotten. She began to cry and beg Celestia to bring her mother back, she screamed and demanded but it was no use Celestia could not hear and even if she could, she could never bring Rainbow Dash's mother back.

The door opened but this time it was a Doctor,"Hello Miss Dash, I am here to examine you. Do you mind if we ask you a series of questions and check for any serious injuries?" Dashie agreed. After the examination she was given the all clear, she was let out and given to a orphanage. The orphanage was run by a grey pegasus which Rainbow Dash was forced to call 'Lady Ball'. Lady Ball was a cruel pegasus, she hated Rainbow because she was jealous of Rainbow Dash's colourful coat. The orphanage was run down, floors cracked and cloudmites in the beds and floors. Dashie was given a room with another pegasus named Twinkle Dust. Twinkle Dust was a purple coated pony with a purple mane, she had glasses and cute red eyes. She was Rainbows only friend through a lot of her childhood.

Rainbows first few months were hard after her mothers death, her grades at school went downhill and she still couldn't fly.
