Ch 9: Is trust an option anymore?

Previous Chapter

The next day started smoothly. Everything was normal until Rainbow Dash couldn't find Steve. She listened closely, only hearing the sound of the television playing in the living room. She went to turn it off, when she found him lying there, eyes opened wide and mouth dropped as if in disbelief. "Are you okay…?" She quietly asked. He simply pointed at the TV in response. She slowly turned to look, and then fell into the same state Steve was in.

The picture that the girl had taken just the other day had made it to media, and now fed their eyes information they didn't want. The reporter's voice went through one ear and out of the other as they stared at the screen in utter dismay. They heard a knock on the door. Rainbow Dash got up. "Don't stop me this time. If they want to see me, take a picture and whatnot, at least they'll get what they came for and get out of here," she told him as she approached the door.

She opened to the little girl they had just met the previous day, who in turn grabbed the door and prevented Rainbow Dash from slamming it in her face. "Before you say anything listen to me. I know, with what you probably just saw, I'm the last person you want to see. I have an explanation for all of this. I sat down with my picture when I got home, still ecstatic over meeting you. I was on my bed in my room, and my mom came in. She saw how happy I was with the picture, and she grabbed it from me, because unfortunately I'm not really happy over any type of picture. She gasped at the sight of me and you, and she took it and posted it on the news website."

"So she just took it from you?" "That's exactly what happened." "Wow, kind of forceful if you ask me. May I ask you an unrelated question?" "Yeah, anything you want." "How come you aren't as excited as you were yesterday?" "Well, everyone feels differently the second time they do anything. Don't get me wrong; I am deeply HONORED to be with you again. Haven't you ever done something fun, got a wonderful one-of-a-kind feeling from it, and then felt less of it the second time you did it?"

Rainbow Dash took the thought into consideration, before answering. "Well, every time I perform the sonic rainboom, it feels just a little bit less exciting." The girl gasped at the sound of her favorite character talking about the sonic rainboom. Her entire life, the girl had wanted to see a real sonic rainboom. "I wanna see you do it!!" she begged. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened at the girl's request. "Y-you want me to do it now?! Right here?!" "Yes! It's my life's DREAM to see you do it!" "B-but... are you sure it's the best idea to do that HERE?" "Well, I don't see much of a problem with it!" Rainbow Dash sighed. "You're not going to take no for an answer here are you?" a defeated Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Fine. But this is the only time." she took a deep breath and began flapping her wings.

The girl squealed in delight. As Rainbow Dash began to gain height, the girl grabbed her camera and snapped a few pictures. Rainbow Dash was now where she believed to be all the height she needed. She moved far away enough from the house that the explosion would not shatter the windows. Rainbow Dash took one last deep breath, and closed her wings. She began to fall, moving faster and faster as the pressure around her got higher and higher. She neared the ground and as she shot out her wings to pull up, Rainbow Dash heard the boom that marked her success. As she zoomed over the girl, her picture was taken again. Rainbow Dash proceeded to circle the house with a rainbow.

Rainbow Dash landed in front of the girl, with a big smile on her face. The girl of course had a bigger smile on her face and she looked like she was about to explode with excitement. "THAT… WAS… AWESOME!!" she screamed. She showed Rainbow Dash the picture she had taken the moment Dash had zoomed over her head. It was the best picture you could get; you could see Rainbow Dash's determined face stretched by the pressure she was under, her wings opened wide, a slight blur from her movement, and a long rainbow coming from her back. You could even see a bit of the explosion in the background of the picture.

"That is one of the most dangerous photos anyone could get. No one can see it AT ALL; not your parents, not your friends, not ANYONE! Put it somewhere safe, and make a copy when no one is looking in case something happens to the original." She nodded, and opened a door in her camera. She placed the picture inside. "I'll keep it in here. Thank you again, Rainbow Dash!" she said. She hugged Dash, and ran off. Rainbow Dash went inside. "What was that explosion?" Steve asked her as she neared him. "Well, I kind of performed the sonic r-rainboom…" Steve felt complete shock the moment she finished the sentence. Was it really possible? His thoughts were interrupted by something on her back. "What's that thing in your mane?" he asked. She turned around, and grabbed it with her teeth. She dropped it to get a better look, and it flipped over revealing… the picture of the sonic rainboom that the girl had just taken. On the back, she found a little note. "I thought maybe you would like a copy; my camera makes two of every photo. Enjoy it! –Sally"
