I'm a Queen?

*Knock* *knock* *Knock*

Rainbow Dash stirred in her sleep from the knocking on her door. She didn't want to answer it, it was her day off, and she wanted to sleep in. She turned her head so her face was on the pillow, but felt some resistance, like there was something coming out of her head, but was too tired to check.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

She was now getting irritated by the constant knocking; she grabbed her pillow and put it around her ears in hopes to muffle out the knocking.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

She couldn't take it anymore; she jumped out of her bed and stormed to the door, not bothering to notice that everything looked smaller now. She opened the door and glared at the knocker.

"What do you want?" She growled, the knocker was no other than Pinkie Pie, being held afloat by balloons tied around her stomach.

"Hi yeah Dashie! I wanted to see if you would like to come out to play and... Oh, when did you get so big, and when did you get a horn?" Pinkie was saying, until she noticed that the Pegasus looked different, but was still smiling.

"H-horn? B-bigger?" Rainbow Dash stuttered, before running to her bathroom to see not a tomboy Pegasus, but a beautiful Alicorn. She was most likely just a hoof smaller than Celestia, her wings were much larger, looking more like an eagles than a falcons, her mane and tail were much longer, in fact, she swore she could see it sparkle. Then there was her newest appendage, her horn, it was almost as long as Celestia's. She began to hyperventilate, her mind refusing to believe the fact that she was now an Alicorn.

She began to think about what happened yesterday. “Okay calm down Rainbow, what did you do yesterday. You got up, brushed your teeth, had a shower, had some breakfast while reading the Cloudsdale Press, to find out that King Wind Crasher died. Then I went through my daily routine of work, friends, naps, and then sleep. I can’t think of anything that could have done this, so why is it happening!?” She mentally screamed, shaking her head.

Pinkie came into the house, to see her friend hyperventilate.

"Dashie, are you alright?" Pinkie Pie asked, not sure how to handle this, she could handle parties sure, and the Cakes twins, but making an Alicorn happy was not something she had experience with.

Rainbow Dash turned to her friend, "Pinkie, I'm going to Twilight’s, to figure out what happened,” with that she ran out of her house and flew to the library.

As she was flying, she did her best to not get spotted by passing Pegasi. Whenever one did come she would hide behind a cloud, or fly below them. It was hard work for her, but she did not want to be treated like a princess, she didn’t even know if this was permanent.

Rainbow got to Twilights house and began to slam her hoof against the wooden door.

Twilight was busy cleaning the library with her assistant Spike, when she heard somepony slamming at her door.

"Twilight! I need to talk to you!"

Twilight realized that the voice that was yelling was Rainbow Dash, but she always barged in, not slam her door. She opened the door, causing her mouth to gape open when she saw Rainbow Dash tower above her, as an Alicorn.

"Rainbow Dash? What happened to you?" Twilight asked, trying to wrap her head around this new dilemma

"That is what I am wondering? Can you send a letter to Celestia?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight nodded and called to Spike. "Spike! Take a letter!"

There was some crashing coming from the room Spike was in, when he came over to them with a paper and quill.

Twilight cleared her throat and spoke.

Dear Princess Celestia,

My friend Rainbow Dash woke up as an Alicorn, and she wants to know why this is.

Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

With that Spike rolled up the letter and blew his magic fire to send it.

"Well Rainbow, Celestia will be getting it soon, then we can find out what happened," Twilight said, smiling.

"Thanks Twilight," Rainbow Dash said, in a saddened tone.

Twilight stared at her friend with concern, she never saw Rainbow Dash act like this.

"Rainbow, what's wrong?"

Rainbow’s eyes watered as she answered."I'm scared,"

Twilight couldn't believe what she heard, Rainbow Dash was scared? She never heard her say that. "What are you scared of Rainbow?" she asked, sitting next to the saddened Pegasus turned Alicorn.

"I'm scared that I will have to leave Ponyville; scared that I will live longer than you girls; scared that you won't be my friends, and I'm especially scared that I will be forced to no longer see you,” Rainbow confessed, soon tears were falling out, she hated doing this in front of anypony, especially a friend, but she couldn’t help it.

"Rainbow, I know for a fact that Celestia would never force you to leave Ponyville, and we will always be your friends, Princess or not, and no force in Equestria can stop us," Twilight proclaimed, standing up to face her friend, a determined look on her face.

This caused the cyan Alicorn to smile and nuzzle Twilight. "Thank you,"

"That is what friends are for,"

Spike stared at the situation with annoyance, and did a gagging expression, but was interrupted when an actual gagging reflex happened, and he burped up a letter.

"That was quick," Twilight commented before opening up and reading it.

My Faithful Student Twilight,

I can tell you why this, but I prefer to talk to her in person, I will be there the next day, I am also bringing the mayor of Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus with me, all shall be explained soon.

Princess Celestia

"Why is she bringing the mayor of Equestria's two biggest Pegasus population?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't know, but we better tell all our friends about you," Twilight said.

Rainbow nodded and walked out with Twilight.

The day went by with the citizens of Ponyville not knowing whether to bow at Rainbow or not.

Rainbow noticed them looking at her, and tried her best to hide behind her wing.

“Rainbow Dash, I know that this is hard for you, but you have to realize that all Alicorns are considered royalty, and seeing you as an Alicorn makes them nervous,” Twilight explained, trying her best to cheer up her friend, but she noticed that it wasn’t working.

“Twilight, I don’t want them to see me as royalty, I want them to see me as Rainbow Dash, the Pegasus that did the Sonic Rainboom and won the Best Young Flyers Competition,”

Twilight couldn’t help but agree with Rainbow Dash, her friend loved to brag how awesome she was, but now being an Alicorn, well, ponies will suspect her of doing all those things.

The two ponies got to Carousel Boutique, and went inside to find Rarity.

“Rarity! Are you here!?” Twilight shouted, waiting for an answer. What she got instead was a loud crash, followed by some yelling.

“Sweetie Bell! Look at what you’ve done,”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,”

The unicorn and Alicorn stared at each other and shook their heads.

“Sweetie Bell, go check who is here, while I clean up this mess,”

“Yes sis,”

The two ponies saw Rarity’s little sister, Sweetie Bell, come down the stairs, but stopped mid step when she saw Rainbow Dash.

“Rarity! Your friends are here, and Rainbow got a new look!” Sweetie Bell yelled.

Rainbow Dash felt her heart stop, she had no idea how Rarity would react to her, she held her breath while she saw Rarity walk down the stairs.

“Well, I was not expecting my friends to come over, and what is this new look... Rainbow... Has?” Rarity started to say, but was interrupted by the sight that befell her, Rainbow Dash as an Alicorn. Her jaw was opened wide, and her eyes bulged.

Twilight and Rainbow wanted to do something, but didn’t have to when a fly flew into Rarity’s mouth and down her throat, causing her cough.

“I’m sorry for staring, but why is Rainbow Dash an Alicorn before me!?” Rarity yelled.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow and gave a small smirk. “Before you?”

“Well...Uh... You see,” Rarity stammered, trying to make up an excuse.

Rainbow chuckled and waved her hoof. “Don’t worry about it Rares, Me and Twilight are just here to see how you would react, and your reaction was pretty funny,”

“Oh, thank goodness, well Rainbow Dash, since of your new... size, I think you should get measured, what do you say?” Rarity asked, hoping that the answer would be yes.

“Sure, I’ll come over later; just don’t make me wear all that girly stuff,”

“Rainbow, what type of mare do you think I am?” Rarity said, Rainbow just shook her head smiling, and walked out of the boutique with Twilight close behind.

"That went better than I expected," Twilight said.

Rainbow was not that optimistic, "Let's see how the rest of our friends will react,"

"Should we go to Pinkie next?" Twilight asked.

Rainbow shook her head, "No, she already knows, and besides, she is probably planning a party for me," she explained, getting a knowing nod from Twilight.

"That's true, how about we go to Applejack next?"

"Yeah, let's go,"

Thankfully, the walk to Sweet Apple Acres didn’t have that many ponies, so Rainbow could actually let her wings rest at her sides.

When Twilight and Rainbow Dash got to the farm, they saw Applejack doing her usual thing, bucking trees and having the apples fall down into baskets.

Twilight thought that out of all their friends, Applejack would take the news quite well and not overreact.

“Well Rainbow Dash, let’s go talk to Applejack.. Rainbow Dash?” Twilight turned her head to see her rainbow friend staring at an apple on one of the trees.

“Rainbow, what are you doing?”

The question went unanswered as Rainbow closed her eyes and pointed her horn towards the apple. Her face became tense and her body began to shake.

Twilight's eyes widened in realization, “She’s trying to use magic,” she thought to herself as she watched her friend.

A couple of magenta sparks flew out of her horn, but she couldn’t take the stress anymore and fell on her haunches, panting.

“That was a good first try Rainbow, but I think you should learn about magic later,” Twilight said, getting a weak nod from the Alicorn.

The two ponies trotted over to Applejack, who was now putting some of the baskets into the wagon.

“Hello Applejack,” Twilight greeted, causing the orange mare to look away from her work.

“Howdy Twi, how are you... and... Rainbow Dash... Why is Rainbow Dash an Alicorn?” Applejack asked, staring at cyan Alicorn.

“I woke up as an Alicorn, but we don’t know if it’s permanent or not,” Rainbow answered.

“So, Ah guess that makes you part Earth Pony also,” Applejack grinned.

“Yes it does, what are you getting at?”

“I was thinking on how strong you are, but you’re most likely not as strong as my babies,” Applejack proclaimed, bucking a tree behind her.

“Oh, you are on Applejack, how about tomorrow?”

“That works for me,”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack spit into their hoof and hoof bumped. After that, Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked away, on their way to Fluttershy’s.

“Did you really have to challenge Applejack,” Twilight asked.

Rainbow Dash just shrugged, “Applejack made a challenge, and I accepted it,”

The two mares were now at the steps of the cottage, Rainbow Dash took in a deep breath and knocked on the door, causing it to open a little and show a cyan eye looking through the crack.

“Oh, hello Rainbow, hello Twilight,” came a weak voice.

“Hello Fluttershy, can we come in?” Twilight asked.

The yellow pegasus gave a nod and opened the door two let the two ponies in.

Rainbow Dash walked in; confused by the fact that Fluttershy wasn’t even reacting to the fact that she was now an Alicorn.

All three ponies were now in the living room, drinking a beverage that Fluttershy gave them. But Rainbow Dash was getting more confused by the minute that Fluttershy wasn’t even looking at her in a weird way, she couldn’t take it anymore and decided to ask. “Fluttershy, do you know anything different about me?”

“Yes I do, you're an Alicorn now,” Fluttershy answered.

“Okay so you’ve notice, any reactions like, “Why are you an Alicorn?”, or “How are you an Alicorn?”?” Rainbow Dash asked, getting a shake from Fluttershy.

“Why should I, you're my friend Rainbow Dash, and nothing is going to change that,” Fluttershy said.

Rainbow Dash stared at her friend; tears were forming in her eyes, and embraced Fluttershy in a hug.

“Thank you Fluttershy,”

Fluttershy didn’t know how to react, and just hugged her crying friend. “It’s okay Rainbow,”

“Fluttershy, you have no idea how good it is to hear that,”

“I can only think about what you feel,”

Twilight couldn’t help but awe at the sight; it was the most heartwarming thing she has seen today.

“Rainbow Dash, I’m sorry to say, but I think we should go, Rarity wants to get some measurements,”

Rainbow Dash nodded and said good bye to her friend, then followed Twilight out of the cottage.

“I’m so glad that Fluttershy doesn’t see me differently,”

“Well Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy doesn’t judge ponies on appearances,”

“Yeah, that’s what I like about her,”

Soon the day was over, Rainbow got her new measurements and flew back home to feed Tank and to make supper. But all of this could not stop her from being nervous of meeting the princess and two mayors.

“I hope I don’t become a princess, or become immortal,” she thought, she noticed that she was tired when she yawned and her eyelids became heavy.

“Wow, I’m tired, must be all the walking I had to do today,” she reasoned, she ate her dinner and went straight to bed, but found it hard to get comfortable on her now small bed.

“I hope Celestia brings a bed with her,” with that final thought she went to sleep.

It was time, Rainbow and her friends were waiting for Celestia and the two mayors to arrive. Pinkie was bouncing in excitement.

"Oh I can't wait for Princess Celestia to come, and with two mayors, this will make the "Rainbow Dash turns into an Alicorn Party" so much better.

"Pinkie let’s wait till the Princess gets here to see if Rainbow Dash will stay as an Alicorn," Twilight said, in hopes to calm down the hyperactive pony.

Rainbow Dash was nervous, she had no idea why Celestia would want to come, or why she would bring the mayors of Equestria's two biggest Pegasus populations.

From the sky, the Princess of the Sun's chariot came into view, with said princess on it, and the two mayors. The chariot landed and the three ponies got out meeting the six ponies.

Everypony in Ponyville bowed to Celestia all expect for Rainbow Dash, as she did not know if she should or not, and she did see the two mayors bow down, to her. Now she was confused.

"Princess Celestia, why are the mayors of Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus bowing down to me?" she asked, having a nervous look on her face.

"I have to go with Rainbow Dash, why are they?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I think these two should tell her themselves," Celestia answered.

The two mayors got up and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Queen Rainbow Dash, it is an honor to meet you," the mayor of Cloudsdale said.

Rainbow Dash was taken back by the title she was given. "Queen? Queen of what?"

"Queen of the Pegasus race, you are the last descendant of Alicorn that rule the Pegasi," Celestia explained, with a smile on her face.

Rainbow Dash, being the awesome pony that she is, did the most reasonable thing after hearing that she was Queen of the Pegasus.

She fainted.

The first chapter, rewritten, hope you like it.

History

When Rainbow Dash woke up, she found that she in the Golden Oaks Library, in Twilight's bed. Getting up, she looked around for Celestia, or the two mayors, but found nothing.

"Thank Celestia, it must of been a dream," she sighed in relief, but her hopes were crushed when she saw not only her friends, but the princess and the mayors.

"Good to see that you have awaken Rainbow, we were worried when you fainted," Celestia said.

"Well, what do you expect when you find out that you are not only an Alicorn, but Queen of an entire race!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, throwing her forelegs in the air.

"Rainbow Dash, I know that you are upset, but we had to keep it a secret," Celestia said, causing the rainbow maned Alicorn to raise an eyebrow.

"We?"

"Yes, King Wind Chaser, your parents, Dr. Bandage, and I had to keep it a secret that you were born an Alicorn, until it was your time to rule," Celestia explained.

Rainbow Dash stared at the sun princess in disbelief, then glared at her.

"Tell me everything," she demanded.

"Okay Rainbow, it all began when your mother was pregnant."

~20 years ago~

~Cloudsdale Hospital ~

The pregnant Aurora Dash and her husband Spectrum Dash were sitting in the office of Dr. Bandage, who was checking the medical reports of Aurora.

Aurora, despite her name, was a dark blue Pegasus with a green mane, and wore glasses. She was nervous, as she wanted to know if her foal was alright. Her husband, Spectrum, was an almost purple Pegasus with a rainbow mane.

Spectrum put his hoof on Aurora's leg and gave a reassuring smile, which helped calm his wife down.

Dr. Bandage checked the reports, put them back in their folders and put it in his desk drawer, then went back to the couple.

"Well Mrs. Dash, I am glad to say that you and the foal are perfectly healthy, and no defects were found on the foal,"

"Thank you Dr. Bandage, but we are wondering something," Spectrum said, looking worried.

"And what is it?"

"Well, I have been experiencing pain whenever the foal moves," Aurora explained, rubbing her swollen stomach.

Dr. Bandage was puzzled at this. "Well, what you are describing is a problem unicorn's bearing foals show, as the foal has a horn, and when it moves around, the horn will jab into the uterus. But this never happens to a Pegasus unless she has a unicorn foal, and according to the reports, you're foal has wings," he explained.

"Could it be a defect? I mean, we can't see the foal," Spectrum asked.

"You could be right, and while the reports do say that the foal is fine, medical technology has only gotten so far so we can't know for certain, I suggest you take a look at your family tree, to see if there is a history you don't know," Dr. Bandage said.

The couple thank their doctor and left the office.

Dr. Bandage looked over his reports again to see if he misread anything.

"She is experiencing pain that a mother bearing a unicorn feels, but reports say that the foal has wings. Could the foal be... No it couldn't,"

~Dash Household, Cloudsdale~

The couple were searching through their attic, looking for their family tree.

"Found anything Spectrum?" Aurora asked, going through one of the many boxes.

"Not yet, wait I found mine!" Spectrum yelled in excitement, holding up an old book.

Aurora ran over and saw the book, it looked to be over a thousand years old, the spine was damaged, and it was covered in the thickest layer of dust she has ever seen.

"Are you sure we can find something in this book?" Aurora asked.

"I hope so, this book has been in the Dash family for over a millennium, my father gave it to me, but he never told me what ancestors we had, and I never bothered to read it, but now we have to," Spectrum admitted and opened the book, flipping the pages to find out if there was a deformity in his family.

The two saw many things that surprised them, but they still found nothing that told of a deformity in the family, but when they got to the last page, Aurora jaw dropped, and Spectrum let the book fall.

"That-that can't be right," Spectrum said, he was beginning to hyperventilate.

Aurora picked up the book and began to read it.

"King Spectrum Blitz, king of the Pagesi from 1 C.R (Celestia Rule) to 100 C.R. King Spectrum Blitz is the one that led the Pegasi into Equestria and credited for creating Cloudsdale. He became allies with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to stop Discord, and to help keep Equestria safe. He had a daughter named Firefly, and a son named Thunder Crash. Firefly married Fire Dash and moved away from Cloudsdale, while Thunder Crash became the next king when Spectrum Blitz died,"

The two stared at each other, then to the swollen stomach of Aurora.

"I'm going to have an Alicorn," Aurora said, not knowing whether to be scared or happy.

"And our foal will become the next King or Queen of the Pegasi," Spectrum said.

The next day Spectrum wrote a letter to his brother, who happened to be Celestia's personal guard, so the letter could be sent to Celestia without waiting for days to get a response.

"Spectrum, are you sure this will work?" Aurora asked.

"I hope so, I don't want our foal to be treated like royalty the moment she or he is born," Spectrum answered, he put the letter in an envelope and but in the mailbox beside their house, now they had to wait.

~Royal Guards Barracks, Canterlot ~

Lightning Dash put on his armour for the day, today he had to guard Celestia as she did her routine of checking a city.

"Lightning Dash, there is a letter for you, it's from your brother!" A mail stallion said walking up to him and giving the guard the letter.

"Thank you," Lightning opened up the letter and read it, his eyes widened and ran out of the barrack to find the sun princess.

~Canterlot Castle, Main Hall~

Celestia waited patiently for her guard, Lightning Dash, to accompany her during her checking of Trottingham. She was sipping her tea when the door burst open to reveal a panting Lightning Dash.

"I'm sorry your highness, but I have some urgent news for you," Lightning Dash said in between pants.

"And what is it?" Celestia asked, curious about what could be so important.

"It appears that my brother and his wife are going to have a foal,"

"Well, I am glad to hear that, but I do not know why it is so urgent?"

"The foal is going to be an Alicorn,"

Celestia froze in place, taking this information in. A Pegasus couple is going to have an Alicorn? How is this possible?

"Are you sure you didn't misread it?" Celestia asked, getting a shake from Lightning Dash.

"No your highness, it says in the letter that the Dash family is apparently has King Spectrum Blitz as our great grandfather,"

Celestia stood from her throne and turned to her scribe. "Tell Mayor Worthy that I will not be coming to Trottingham, and that we are going to Las Pegasus to talk to King Wind Chaser,"

The scribe nodded and wrote the letter.

Celestia turned to her two guards with a stern face. "Get the chariot ready, we are going to Las Pegasus,"

~Las Pegasus Castle ~

King Wind Chaser was sitting across from Princess Celestia, he heard everything that was told to him, but was having trouble believing it.

"So Princess, you are telling me that the next King or Queen of the Pegasi is going to be born, from a family of Pegasi that happened to have King Spectrum Blitz as a grandfather over a thousand years ago?"

"Yes I do," Celestia simply stated, she was trying her best to convince the King of the Pegasi, but it was not going so well.

"I'm sorry Princess, but how can a family of Pegasi just now have an Alicorn?"

"We do not know, but it could be that a gene was finally able to be added, or nature itself noticed that you do not have an offspring to take the crown once you die," Celestia explained.

Wind Chaser couldn't help but agree with his higher up, sure he was king, but it was an honorary title given to the Alicorn royalty to stop confusion between the rulers of Equestria and the the ruler of all pegasi. And his only son disappeared years ago. He stared at the sun princess and gave a sigh.

"I will go to Cloudsdale to see if this is true, and if it is, I want this to be kept a secret if words get out, the Pegasus council would be furious that a Alicorn born from a lower class will be the next ruler,"

"Understood, I enjoyed having this talk," with that Celestia walked out of the room, with her two guards beside her.

Wind Chaser turned to his guards. "We are going to Cludsdale, and I want you all to keep this a secret, not even your family can know of this," he ordered, the guards saluted and ran out of the room, leaving the king to himself. He took off his crown and stared at it, thinking about how the family will react if it turns out that the foal really is an Alicorn.

~The Next Day~

~Dash Household, Cloudsdale~

Wind Chaser stood at the door with his guards beside him, thinking about how he would introduce himself.

"Your majesty, shouldn't we knock now?" one of the guards asked.

"Hmm, oh, yes, please do,"

The guard nodded and knocked on the door.

The door opened to reveal a light purple Pegasus.

"Hello sirs, and hello King Wind Chaser," the Pegasus said smiling, but his smile turned into shock in an instance.

"King Wind Chaser!?" the Pegasus bowed before the king and began to apologize, "I'm sorry your highness, I did not mean to be disrespectful!"

"It is all right Spectrum Dash; you did not know that I would be coming,"

"You know my name?" Spectrum asked, now scared for his life.

"Yes I do, and I also know that your wife, Aurora Dash, is pregnant, and you think that the foal will be an Alicorn,"

"Yes your highness, we do, I found out that my great grandfather is King Spectrum Blitz," Spectrum admitted.

"Can I see your wife?" Wind Chaser asked.

"Of course your highness, please come in," Spectrum said rather quickly, letting the king and his guards inside.

Wind Chaser looked around the room, and realized that he never been in a home like this, in fact, he never talked directly to one of his subjects before.

"Honey, we have a very important guest," Spectrum called.

Aurora came into the room, and saw Wind Chaser.

"Your highness, what brings you here?" Aurora asked scared.

"I came to find out if your foal is actually an Alicorn," Wind Chaser said.

The Dash couple looked at each other scared.

"This won't hurt the foal will it?" Aurora asked.

Wind Chaser shook his head, "No, all I will do is to sense if there is any magic other than Pegasus in the foal," with that his horn glow a bright blue.

Aurora walked to their king and allowed him to put his horn to her swollen stomach.

Wind Chaser concentrated; his eyes were closed, in order to see the magic that was coming out of the foal.

"I sense Pegasus magic, that is for sure, but I can also sense Earth pony, and unicorn magic, she is an Alicorn, but what is this fourth magic I sense, it could be from the foals mother, but I'm not sure," Wind Chaser thought, he brought his horn away and opened his eyes.

"Aurora, you are having an Alicorn,"

Aurora didn't know how to react, she wasn't sure if she should be happy, or scared.

"You won't take our foal away when it is born, will you?" Spectrum asked.

"No, I won’t; in fact, nopony will know that the foal is even an Alicorn,"

"What do you mean?" Spectrum asked.

"You will see when it is born," with that, Wind Chaser left the house, leaving the couple confused.

~5 months later~

~Cloudsdale Hospital~

Screams of pain ran through the hospital as Aurora panted, trying to push her foal out. Spectrum was at her side, holding her hoof, and Dr. Bandage was at the other side, watching while the Royal Canterlot doctors did their work.

"Come on Mrs. Dash, you are doing great," the doctor said.

The screams continued until she the pain went away, only to be replaced with the crying of a foal.

"Congratulation, it's a beautiful Alicorn filly," the doctor said, cleaning the filly and wrapping her in a blanket, giving it to Aurora.

"Spectrum, she's beautiful, she has your mane and eyes," Aurora said, crying from joy.

The filly was a cyan coloured and had magenta eyes, and her mane was a rainbow of colours, she also had a horn, and wings.

Spectrum couldn't help but also cry at the sight.

"Hello there my little Dashie, I'm your daddy," Spectrum brought his hoof to his daughter, who grabbed it with weak hooves, causing Spectrum and Aurora to giggle.

"What should we call her?" Aurora asked, smiling as their foal went to sleep.

"How about Rainbow," Spectrum suggested.

"Rainbow, I love that name, our little Rainbow Dash,"

"I like it as well,"

Everypony turned their head to see their king, Wind Chaser walk into the room, the ponies bowed, all expect for Aurora and Spectrum. Wind Chaser walked to the couple and looked at the baby.

"I definitively see you both in her,"

"Your highness, what are you doing?" Spectrum asked.

"I am making sure that she doesn't get treated like royalty," Wind Chaser's horn glowed, and he brought it to the foal, and before their eyes, the Alicorn became a Pegasus.

"What did you do?" Aurora asked, confused at the sight.

"I cast an illusion spell on her, it will last till I die, or until she dies," Wind Chaser explained.

"What do you mean, aren't Alicorns immortal?" Dr. Bandage asked.

"In most cases yes, but since Rainbow here has more Pegasus than Alicorn in her; she will have the life span of a Pegasus,"

"Your highness, what do you want us to do?" Spectrum asked.

"I want you to raise her like you would raise a Pegasus, tell her nothing of her heritage, I want her to rule in my place, with the knowledge of how the world works, and feels," Wind Chaser ordered.

The couple bowed their heads at their king. "Yes, your highness,"

"Good, now I will be going back to Las Pegasus, Celestia will be coming to get her royal doctors; I trust them to not tell anypony,"

The couple didn't listen, as they went back to their daughter, smiling at the fact that they now have somepony to love them.

The rest is history.

Chapter 2 is now up, and I have to say, I am proud of this chapter. I hope you all like it.

P.S. Yes I put the My Little Dashie reference on purpose.

Anger and Acceptance

~Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville~

Rainbow Dash stared down in shock in what she heard. She didn’t want to believe it, but here she was, an Alicorn who would have to rule over the Pegasi. She wanted to be angry at her parents for keeping it a secret from her, but they made her happy, so she couldn’t be mad at them, nor at Celestia or Dr. Bandage.

“I’m sure that this is a lot to take in,” Celestia said, cutting Rainbow Dash’’s thought. “But we had to do it, so you would know how the real world works when you became queen,”

“I guess so, but Celestia, I wonder something?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“What is it?”

“What is this fourth magic Wind Chaser sensed in me?”

The sun princess smiled, “I think you know what it is, you used it to stop Nightmare Moon and Discord,”

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened in realization.

“You mean-”

“Yes Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty,” Celestia answered.

“Wow, I guess that makes me the most awesome Alicorn, I can’t wait to tell everypony that, but I am going to have to decline, since I have a job, and friends,” Rainbow Dash boasted.

Celestia and the mayors stared at each other in with uneasy looks.

“Rainbow Dash, you are going to be Queen of the Pegasi,” Celestia said.

The rainbow Alicorn turned to the princess with a disbelieving look.

“But don’t I have a choice?”

“No, you don’t. Once the king or queen chooses one to rule, they must become the next ruler, it is a law that must be held,” Celestia answered.

Rainbow Dash looked back down, her emotions being masked behind the unseen face.

“So I have no right to decline it,”

“I’m afraid not,”

“This is bull-shit!” Rainbow Dash yelled, she stood on the bed, her wings flared, her horn glowing with magenta magic, and her face concerted in pure rage.

Everypony stepped back from the Alicorn, afraid that Rainbow Dash would attack them.

“Please calm down Rainbow Dash, I know that you are mad, but you have to understand that this law was placed by the first King of the Pegasi,” Celestia said, the two mayors were hiding behind the Alicorn princess.

“Calm down!? You want me to fucking calm down!?” Rainbow Dash yelled, her mane was now crackling with electricity.

Everypony stared at her in shock and fear. Shock that the Rainbow Dash was swearing, something that was highly frowned upon, and afraid that the Alicorn could do with her magic, since she never used it before.

But out of all of them, the ones most hurt by it were Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy was silently crying behind Applejack, she could not believe that her first friend, would do say such hurtful things. Pinkie Pie was tearing up, and her poofy mane was flat, even she knew with all her universe bending powers, she could not cheer up her friend.

Rainbow Dash turned her attention to the two mayors behind Celestia. “Now tell me, why are you two here!?”

“W-well you s-see Q-Q-Queen Rainbow Dash, w-we w-w-w-were sent t-to c-convince y-y-you to rule in e-either L-L-Las Pegasus or C-C-Cloudsdale,” the mayor of Cloudsdale stuttered.

This made something in Rainbow Dash snap, “So you were going to take me away from my friends!? Well that is not going to happen!”

With that said, the rainbow Alicorn’s horn flashed a bright magenta, causing everpony in the room to shield their eyes. When they removed their hooves, they saw that Rainbow Dash was gone.

“Wh-What happened?” Rarity asked, looking around nervously.

“She teleported, but that not possible, she doesn’t even know how to use magic!” Twilight exclaimed, trying her best to wrap her head around the fact that her friend teleported.

“When a Unicorn or Alicorn gets enraged, they can do things they never thought they could do,” Celestia answered.

“Where do you think Rainbow teleported to?” Applejack asked worried for her friend.

“I’m guessing that she’s around Ponyville; the magic she used was not powerful enough to send her far,” Celestia guessed.

“Okay, let’s find her girl,” Twilight said, the others nodded and ran out of the library.

~Sugercube Corner Entrance, Ponyville~

A bright light appeared, then disappeared to reveal a panting Rainbow Dash. Her horn was sparking and she was sweating.

"That took too much out of me, but I can't let them find me, and fortunately, the only place they can't reach me is my house,” Rainbow Dash said to herself. She spread her wings and took to the air, but instantly regretted it when she felt pain in her body.

“Ow, I guess magic does more than just leaving you exhausted,” she thought to herself.

Rainbow Dash landed on her porch and went into her house, in hopes to rest, but she saw herself in the mirror, and instantly got angry.

“Stupid Alicorn blood, stupid laws, and stupid royalty,” Rainbow Dash fumed, walking away from the mirror.

Rainbow Dash was angrier than she has ever felt before. How could the mayors, and Celestia herself, say that she couldn't turn it down. She had every right to, but no, it was the law, and she had to follow it. She stomped her hoof on a nearby table, causing a huge hole in it. Why couldn't her parents say no to this when she was born, and how dare they keep it a secret.

Looking outside, she decided to do the most reckless thing she would ever do, she ran out of her house and took to the air, her eyes set on Cloudsdale, and her parents, tonight she would get answers.

~Golden Oaks Library Entrance, Ponyville~

Everypony stared at each other, all of them with worried looks on their faces.

“Did any of you find Rainbow Dash!?” Twilight exclaimed, getting a shake from all of them.

“I hope she isn’t hurt,” Fluttershy commented quietly.

“This is bad, if Queen Rainbow Dash doesn’t come back, the Pegasus Council will have our heads,” the mayor of Las Pegasus said, shaking in fear.

“So that is the most important thing for y’all, to save your own flank?” Applejack asked, glaring at the two mayors, who ended up backing up.

“Applejack please calm down, yelling at them won’t help,” Twilight said, putting her hoof on the apple farmers back.

“Sorry Twi, I’m just worried about Rainbow Dash,”

“We all are darling, we all are,” Rarity said, a sad look in her eyes.

“Ah hope Rainbow Dash isn’t going to do something that she will regret,” Applejack said.

“Don’t worry, she won’t do something like that,” Twilight reassured, she turned back to the group with a determined look on her face.

“Now let’s continue our search,”

~Dash Household, Cloudsdale~

Aurora Dash was staring at one of the pictures she held in her hooves; the picture was a filly Rainbow Dash on her 9th birthday; she was blowing out the candles while Spectrum Dash was seen singing “happy birthday”. Aurora wiped a tear from her eye, seeing the pictures that were laid out on the floor reminded her that Rainbow Dash was no longer the Pegasus she loved, but now Alicorn royalty.

"Aurora, is something wrong?" Spectrum asked, appearing behind his wife.

“No, I was just looking at some pictures of our little filly,” Aurora answered, trying her best to wipe her tears away, but this did not go unnoticed by Spectrum.

“Aurora, I know that you are upset, but we knew that this was coming (even though we wished it didn’t),” Spectrum said, whispering the last part to himself.

“I just hope she decides to visit us before she leaves us forever,”

Spectrum just stared at his wife with a sad expression, but there time together would be cut short by a slamming on the door.

“I’ll get it,” Spectrum walked to the door and opened it, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped open at the sight that befell him. His daughter, Rainbow Dash, was at his door, as an Alicorn.

“Rainbow, what are you doing here?” Spectrum asked, not even noticing his daughters enraged expression.

“I’ll tell you why I’m here! I’m here to find out why you didn’t tell King Wind Chaser that I shouldn’t be queen!” Rainbow Dash yelled, her tone just a few decibel short of the Royal Canterlot Voice, but it still had the same effect as Spectrum was forced back.

“Please Rainbow, you must understand, we tried our best to stop it, but he wouldn’t hear it,” Spectrum tried to reason with the Alicorn before him, but it was not working.

“Well you should have tried harder!”

“Rainbow Marian Dash! You shouldn’t yell at your father like that,”

Rainbow Dash recognized the voice, only one pony called her with her middle name, and it was her mother. She turned to her mother, who looked at her with stern eyes, ready to discipline the Alicorn.

“Why shouldn’t I, it is because of you two that I can no longer live in Ponyville, I can’t join the Wonderbolts anymore! And most importantly I... I...,” Rainbow shouted, but when she was getting to the last part of her sentence, her posture broke with her shaking, and fighting back tears.

“I can’t see my friends and you anymore!” Rainbow Dash cried out, her tears now flowing out. She ran to her mother and hugged her, crying into her shoulder.

Aurora hugged her sobbing daughter back, petting her mane. “It’s okay Rainbow Dash; just let it all out,”

“I-(hic) - I can’t be a-(hic)-a queen, I don’t-(hic)-even know how to-(hic)-act like one,” Rainbow Dash continued to sob, her throat was starting to hurt, but she didn’t care, she just wanted to be in her mother's embrace.

Spectrum walked up to the two and put his hoof on his daughters shoulder.

“Rainbow Dash, believe me, this is not what we wanted, your mother and I tried our best, but Wind Chaser made it clear that he wanted you to rule in his place, but at least you can choose where you want to live,” Spectrum said, trying to look at the positive side.

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened in realization at what her father said it was true; she could live where she wanted. The mayors of Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus were only there to convince her to move to one of the two cities, but she remembered that Queen Surprise ruled from the city of Moose Jaw.

Rainbow Dash got up and wiped her tears, “Mom, Dad, do you want to see where I live?”

“We would, but why?” Aurora asked, surprised at her daughter's sudden change in behavior.

“You’ll find out, follow me,” with that said, Rainbow Dash flew out of the house, with her parents close behind.

~Town Hall, Ponyville~

Rainbow Dash’s five friends, plus the two mayors, walked nervously to town hall, ready to tell Celestia that they couldn’t find the rainbow Alicorn.

“I hope she doesn’t get mad at us,” Twilight said, stopping in front of the doors.

“We are doomed, my position as mayor is going to go down,” the mayor of Cloudsdale was having a nervous breakdown, which made him even more unbearable to group.

“Look, just because we couldn’t find her, doesn’t mean she is gone forever,” Applejack reasoned.

The group opened the door, and saw something that almost caused their jaws to hit the floor (In Pinkie’s case, it did), Rainbow Dash was sitting across from Celestia and Mayor Mare, actually talking.

“So we came to an agreement, you will get the money you need to build your castle Rainbow Dash, and in return you will pay back what you borrowed from the Royal Treasury with 40% of the taxes you get from the Pegasi,” Celestia spoke, writing it down on parchment.

“Thank you Celestia, I am glad that we could talk, but I am still mad at you for keeping this a secret,” Rainbow Dash said, glaring at Celestia when she said the last part of her sentence.

“I know, and I’m sorry,”

“What is going on here!?” Twilight exclaimed, breaking the three mare’s attention to her.

“Hey Twi, I was just doing some business,” Rainbow Dash replied smiling.

“Business? What business?” the mayor of Las Pegasus asked.

“Well when the mayor and I were talking, Rainbow Dash came rushing in with her parents, wondering how many square hooves of land was needed to build a castle,” Celestia explained, rolling up the parchment and putting it in a bag.

“Build a castle, wait don’t tell me!” Pinkie shouted, ready to bounce in happiness.

“Yep, I’m staying in Ponyville,” Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

The five mares couldn’t contain their joy as they pounced onto Rainbow Dash, hugging her.

The mayors stared at each other with shocked faces.

“Can she do that?”

“Yes she can, for you see, it doesn’t matter where the king or queen lives, as long as the place has a large Pegasus population,” Celestia explained.

“The pegasus Council will not like this,” the mayor of Las Pegasus said.

Rainbow Dash got up when her friends got off her.

“So where are you going to be staying?” Rarity asked.

“Well, my parents and I are going to be staying at my house until the castle is somewhat livable, and the castle will be built just on the outskirts of Ponyville,” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Your parents, why are they here?” Applejack asked.

“Well I brought them along to see Ponyville, and to have them live with me in the castle, because my Dad lost his job when he broke his wing, and is now living on employment insurance,”

“Wow, that is mighty kind of you,”

“It was the least I could do, oh and Twilight, Rarity I need to ask you something,”

“What is it Rainbow?” Twilight asked, confused.

“I wanted to know if you two could help me out. Rarity with acting like a noble when I’m talking to a crowd and Twilight to help teach me magic,”

The two mares eyes widened, and their mouths open, just staring at Rainbow Dash. Applejack waved her hoof in front of them, but got no reaction.

“Ah think you broke them,”

“Oops, well I better not tell them that I also sent a letter to get somepony else to help also,” Rainbow Dash thought.

“Hey, we can now have our “Rainbow-Dash-is-an-Alicorn-who-is-also-a-queen-and-is-going-to-be-staying-in-Ponyvile Party!” Pinkie shouted.

All the ponies in the room rolled their eyes, but also smiled, following the hyperactive pony to Sugarcube Corner.

~Dodge Juctions~

Just outside of a wagon-like house, a blue Unicorn fainted when she found a letter telling her that she is going to teach a queen magic.

Author's Note

Third chapter is finally out.

Three chapters in a row that had Rainbow Dash cry!? What is wrong with me, well at least the next chapter won't have that, but I'll be making the fourth chapter after I'm finished with the first chapter of my Twilight/Blueblood fic (Yes I support that couple)

I know that Moose Jaw is a real city, but sounds like a city that belongs in Equestria okay.

I like to think that our swears do exist in Equestria, but is highly frowned upon.

Lessons Intro

~Rainbow’s Household, Ponyville~
~1 week after the party~

Rainbow Dash watched from her window as the construction workers worked on the new castle. She smiled as she saw how it was coming, and also because the news that the new queen was going to live in Ponyville caused hundreds of tourists to go to the small town. She walked away from the window and sat at her table, which because of her new size, was now too small. She had her lunch that she made on the table; which consisted of a grilled cheese sandwich and two pickles, she went to take a bite when she was interrupted.

“Your majesty, are you sure that you should eat that?” an old voice warned.

Rainbow Dash sighed and turned to the cause of the warning, behind her was an old grey Pegasus stallion wearing a blue robe. She cursed in her head when she realized that it was one of the members of the Pegasus council, who came after hearing that the new ruler was found.

Now Rainbow Dash didn’t hate them, in fact, she was surprised to hear that some of the council members were not against the idea of her being the new queen, but she did dislike some of them. The one in front of her right now was one that she didn’t dislike, but hated, for the stallion, Grey Wings, was born to a long line of Pegasi that were part of the council, so Grey Wings was infuriated when he found out that Wind Chaser chose an Alicorn born from two lower class Pegasus to be the next ruler.

“Grey Wing, what are you doing here?” Rainbow Dash asked, turning away and began to eat her lunch.

“I am here to inform you that you will be traveling to Cloudsdale, Las Pegasus, Manehatten, and Canterlot to introduce yourself as the new queen in a couple of days,” Grey Wing explained.

“I know that already.”

“If you already know, why aren’t you getting prepared?”

“I am waiting for another pony to come,” Rainbow Dash explained, not even bothering to see what expression he had at the moment.

“Well, I hope for your sake that the pony comes soon, I don’t even know why King Wind Chaser chose you?” Grey Wing grumbled to himself, Rainbow Dash heard this and smirked.

“Maybe because he saw how awesome I was?”

She got the response she wanted when she heard a loud growl from the old Pegasus, followed by a door slamming. She smiled and finished her lunch; she stood up to put her plate in the sink, when she heard fireworks in the distance.

“It looks like she’s here,” she said smiling; she put her dishes in the sink and flew off to where the sound came from.

~Ponyville Town Square~

Rainbow Dash landed behind a group of ponies, who were watching as Applejack and Rarity were yelling at the new comer, who happened to be Trixie.

“You expect us to believe that you got a letter telling you to come to Ponyville so you can teach some royalty magic!?” Applejack exclaimed, her face dangerously close to the blue mare.

“Trixie is telling the truth; why else would Trixie come here?” Trixie answered, glaring back at the apple farmer.

“I don’t know Trixie, you did lie about defeating an Ursa Minor,” Rarity said, getting a glare from Trixie.

“It was part of Trixie’s act.”

“And why did you decide to set off your fireworks?” Applejack asked.

“It was so the pony Trixie needs to meet knows that Trixie is here!”

While Rainbow Dash was enjoying the show, she knew that she had to stop it before somepony got hurt.

“Trixie is telling the truth,” Rainbow Dash announced, causing all the ponies to look at her. She walked towards the mobile home, while the ponies stepped back to allow her through, and the Pegasus ended up bowing to her.

“See, Trixie told you that she... You’re an Alicorn!?” Trixie exclaimed, pointing her hoof at the cyan Alicorn.

“Yes Trixie, I am.”

“Rainbow Dash, how do you know that she is telling the truth?” Applejack asked confused.

“Because I sent her the letter to come here, and train me to use illusion magic,” Rainbow Dash answered, getting slack jaw responses from Applejack and Rarity.

“Rainbow Dash! Don’t you remember what she did to you!?” Applejack exclaimed.

“Yes I do, when she was first here she humiliated me, than the second time she was here, she was under the control of the Alicorn Amulet, but I still need her A.J,” Rainbow Dash answered.

“But couldn’t you get somepony else to teach you illusion spells, like Twilight?” Rarity asked, but got a shake from the rainbow Alicorn.

“Twilight may be good with magic, but have you ever seen her use an illusion spell?” Rainbow Dash asked.

Both Applejack and Rarity tried to come up with something to say, but couldn’t think of one instance where Twilight used an illusion spell.

“Okay Rainbow, you win,” Applejack admitted defeat, nudging Rarity to get her to say the same thing.

“Oh, yes Rainbow, you win.”

While this was happening Trixie stared at the conflict and was surprised to see that Rainbow Dash was willing to accept her.

“Trixie, can you please follow me and Rarity to Twilight’s?” Rainbow Dash asked, snapping Trixie out of her trance.

“Of course, I will accompany you,” Trixie trotted up to the two mares and followed them to the library.

During the walk, Trixie noticed that the Pegasi were all stopping what they were doing to bow to Rainbow Dash, but the Earth Ponies and Unicorns were more fidgeting, like they were deciding whether to bow or not.

“Trixie must know why the other ponies are so hesitant about bowing to you?” Trixie asked.

“Well, the Pegasi bow to me because I’m their Queen, the other ponies just don’t know whether that means they should also bow,” Rainbow Dash explained.

Trixie nodded her head, understanding what she said.

~Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville~

Twilight got all the books ready, going from the simple levitation spell, to teleportation spells. She was giddy at the fact that she was going to teach her friend how to use magic.

She heard a knock on the door, and opened it to reveal Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Trixie.

“Wait!? Trixie!?” Twilight thought, staring at the blue unicorn.

Trixie looked around, uneasy about the stare, “Can you please stop staring at Trixie.”

“Rainbow Dash, why is Trixie here?” Twilight asked, confused by the fact that Trixie was now at her library.

“Well Twilight, Trixie is going to teach me how to use illusion spells.”

“But I could of easily taught you them.”

“I know, but I decided to get a master at those spells.”

Trixie felt proud when she heard Rainbow Dash say that, now that she knew that she was probably better than Twilight at something.

“Twilight, aren’t you going to let us in?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Of course, please come in,” Twilight waved them in, smiling as they came in to her library.

Rainbow Dash noticed all the books that were stacked and gave a loud whistle.

“Wow Twilight, you sure are prepared for this.”

“Well it was the only thing on my mind for the entire week,” Twilight admitted, rubbing the back of her head and blushing.

“Good to hear, alright everypony, line up in front of me,” Rainbow Dash ordered, causing the three Unicorns to stand right in front of the Alicorn.

“Now as you know, I got you to teach me some things, like how to act like royalty,” she points at Rarity how was smiling proudly, “Magic,” points at Twilight who was blushing, “ and illusions,” points at Trixie, who was thinking at how doing this will really make her popular.

“Now we only have a couple of days until I have to go to Cloudsdale to introduce myself, so we better do this as quickly as possible.”

Rainbow Dash stared at the three mares, rubbing her chin with her hoof.

“So, who wants to go first?”
