Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Today, I wake up in my home with Rainbow Dash next to me. It seems like she had fell asleep next to me every night. I have noticed this for the past few months. I think it is because of my nightmares I have. Every night, it seems that I wake up with some nightmare. And all of the dreams are from my past. All the nightmares was where I was trying to find a place to stay. They were all the terrible memories that I will always remember. Those memories would cause me to cry in my sleep. Yell out the feelings I would of had. She always came to my side, here to comfort me. She would stroke my mane and tell me it is alright. She would sing to me and I would fall back asleep. If I couldn't fall asleep for some reason, we would talk about stories.
Last night was the night she forgot to come in. I had the worst nightmare of all of them. It was of Rainbow Dash falling from the sky. She was struck by lightning (I could tell by the weather and tips of her wings were like coals). She was plummeting to Earth. I rushed quickly to save her. She was falling quicker and more tears rushed from my eyes. I finally caught her. When I touched the ground, I noticed she was dead. The dream soon faded away. Rainbow Dash and Soarin were trying to wake me up. I than sobbed in her arms for a few hours. I explained to her the dream I had. she wept a bit too. We hugged and were so thankful that we were both alive. After awhile, she helped me fall back asleep.
I am wondering when will these night terrors go away. I have night terrors every time Rainbow Dash isn't by my side. I feel terrible. I feel like I am taking up too much of Rainbow Dash's time. But now, it seemed that she has been forgetting to come in my room more. The night terrors soon remind her that she needs to be by my side.
But this week was different. I would hear her come in at night. She would lay down next to me. If I was awake, we would talk. We could talk for hours. We seem to have similar stories Everynight, we count our blessings. We would always say that our blessing our each other. I had similar blessings to Rainbow Dash. The only thing is that I don't have much in my life.
Soarin (Rainbow Dash's husband) was coming in my room more often. I just wished him and I had the same connection Rainbow Dash and I have. I wish I got to know Soarin more at the time Rainbow Dash and him were dating. It would of made Soarin a greater dad. Soarin is a great dad, but we are missing a much deeper connection. When Soarin comes in, he listens. He tells me he loves me a lot and tells me that he will always be there for me. I can tell that he feels like he doesn't belong in my life. He feels off. I wish that wasn't the case and I don't know how to handle the situation.
I notice Rainbow Dash's presence and turned over to look at her beautiful cyan blue face and body. She looked tired through her eyes. I noticed there were bags under her closed eyes. Her mane was a bit messed up. I stroked my hand through her mane to try and smooth it out. I liked her mane how it was right now. It seemed more natural and less false. My thoughts soon veered to Rainbow Dash. It seemed that she was awake, but resting.
I could tell because she said, "Goodmorning Scoots." She than held me close and giggled.
"What?" I asked. She was never this giggly. Something was different. I just couldn't figure out what
"Oh, just thinking of how amazing my daughter is. She is even more amazing cause now she has her cutie mark and some cool new wings," Rainbow Dash laughed. My eyes widened and I checked to see what my cutie mark was. It was of a Double Sonic Rainboom. I squealed in amazement. Rainbow Dash continued to giggle.
I tried to remember when I could do a Double Sonic Rainboom, or even a Sonic Rainboom. Rainbow Dash could tell what I was thinking. It seemed like she always knew my thoughts and emotions. We have that sort of connection.
She than went to ask me, "Do you remember when you used to sleep fly?" I think about it for awhile. It seems that I only remember fragments of Rainbow Dash telling me about my sleep flying. I shake my head.
"Well, when me and Soarin started to date, you started to sleep fly. I would be out late at night with him, and you would appear. So one night when I am late, I see you flying quickly passed me. You soon hit a Sonic Rainboom. I tried to catch up with you. I was almost caught up and than you went so fast there was another Sonic Rainboom that happened. You hit a Double Sonic Rainboom," she explained.
I asked, "Is there any other times where I hit the Double Sonic Rainboom again?"
"When you were sleep flying, yes. When you were awake, no.," she responded. "But you have some new wings, if you saw,"
"How is that possible?I haven't seen many if my classmates have a full set of wings this big." I asked.
"You are all grown up Scoots," she explained. "Which means that you can be signed up to help in Cloudsdale, or you can be a Wonderbolt."
My eyes teared up a bit. I spoke my thoughts, "I'm almost all grown up."
Rainbow Dash knew something was wrong, "Scoots, what is the matter?"
"Well, I am almost grown up. It means that I soon will get a house. I will soon leave you Nd Soarin. I will move on. I don't want that to happen. I want to stay with you forever."
I wished that I could stay with her forever. I wished there was some way of having that happen. Soon, I get part of the wish of wanting to be with Rainbow Dash. It was great, except everyone else I loves was out of the picture.
