//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: The rainbow story // by The Two Writers //------------------------------// Chapter 4 You wake up to a clanging coming from your kitchen. With a sigh you get up and open your bedroom door. Flash is in the kitchen pulling things from your fridge. Speedy was still asleep, stretched over the pull out bed. You walk to the kitchen. “Good morning.” Flash says cheerfully. “Morning.” You say back as you pour yourself a cup of coffee, adding sugar and milk. “I was going to make some breakfast, but you lack a rack of lamb so I'm going to make and omelet, you want one?” Flash asks pushing his glasses back up his nose. “Yeah, I’m going to take a shower.” You say as you finish you coffee. You head back in your room and grab a t-shirt and shorts, then head into the bathroom. You run the water letting it heat up while you quickly shave. You exit the bathroom and throw your dirty cloths in a hamper. Speedy was still asleep when you get out, you kick the bed frame while you pass, waking him up with a jolt. “Any reason you have little to no dishes?” Flash asks as he hands you an omelet on a plate. You take a bite. “I dropped them when I was headed back here from the store.” You say as you check your phone. You have half an hour till you need to be knocking on Rainbow Dash's door so you quickly finish your breakfast and start to read Daring Do. Time slips away from you and before you know it you need to leave. “I'll call when I’m coming back, there is a map on the table and you have money. Figure it out.” You say as you leave. Soon you are landing onto Rainbow Dash's porch. You see Rainbow Dash in a chair on the porch and you wake her up. “Wah?” She asks as her eyes shoot open. She slowly looks up at you. “Oh, its just you.” “Waiting for somebody else?” You asks as she stands up and uses you as a balance as she stretches. “No, just you. Where are Flash and Speedy?” She asks as she cracks her knuckles. “I left them at my apartment, hopefully it will still be there when I get back.” You say as you both walk down the porch. “Yeah, are you ready to work?” She asks turning to face you. “Sure, whats the weather forecast?” You ask. “Partly cloudy, then the clouds are to move after lunch, can you handle that much work?” She asks as you both take off. “Bring it.” You say. It only takes two hours to scatter clouds, between you and Rainbow Dash so you both decide to stop by Sugarcube Corner to see what Pinkie Pie's doing. You hold open the door for Rainbow Dash and you get a whiff of sweet chocolate candy goodness and you start to feel your mouth watering. “Ah, welcome dears, what can I do for you.” A middle aged woman asked with a big smile on her face. You recognize her as the lady who gave you directions to town hall on your first day here. “Yes, is Pinkie Pie here?” Rainbow Dash asks. “Oh yes she is playing with the babies, let me get her. It's good to see you again.” She says to you before she disappears up a flight of stairs. You and Rainbow look at the candy that lined walls and that were on display. You have never seen so many sweets in so many flavors. The lady comes back down alone with a confused look on her face. “That odd, I thought she was playing with the babies, but she isn't. Sorry you two.” She says. “That's ok Mrs. Cake. Thanks anyway.” Rainbow Dash says as she heads for the door. Mrs. Cake waves good bye and you wave back. “Wanna bug Applejack?” Rainbow Dash asks as she takes to the sky with you right behind her. “Sure.” You say and the two of you fly to Sweet Apple Acres. You instantly spot Applejack who was talking with Applebloom under an apple tree. “Hey RD, Sonic!” She calls as you two land in front of the tree. “Hey.” You say with a small wave. “We are bored and we need something to entertain us. Any suggestions?” Rainbow Dash asks as she sits under the tree. It was Applebloom who answers. “You could help me get my Cutie Mark.” She suggests. “You just need to try as much things as you can, your bound to do something that your good at.” Rainbow Dash says as she laid down. “Whats your Cutie Mark, Sonic?” Applejack asks with a cocked head. “Yeah, I don't think I seen one on you.” Rainbow Dash says as she sits up and looks at you. “It's a sonic boom.” You say as you tug at your collar, past your heart to show what looked like a sonic boom at it's peak. “Wow, how did you get that?” Applebloom asked in awe. “I preformed a sonic boom when I was littler.” You say. “Can you do one again?” Applebloom asked jumping up and running to your side. “Yeah, if you claim you can preform a sonic boom, I want to see this.” Rainbow Dash says with a hint of doubtfulness in her voice. “Alright.” You say and before you know it you are at the start of the row of apple trees, the girls are about halfway down the row. You start to fly and you quickly pick up speed, you flap you wings harder and harder, you start to feel a strain on your wings as they beat faster than you can see. The trees start to blur past you and you start to hear a low ring in your ears and then you feel the strain on your wings dissipate and you know you hit a sonic boom. You stir up dust in front of you and before you can put up you hands to protect you face, dust gets in your eyes making you lose control and ultimately crash into an apple tree. You miraculous don’t black out, and don't feel anything broken or bloody so you stand up and stretch. You hear and feel the rhythmic pop along your spine. “Are you ok?” Rainbow dash asks frantically as she flies up to you. “Yeah, I’ve been in worse crashes.” You say as you test your wings, making sure they are ok. “Would y'all like an icepack?” Applejack asks. “No, I’m fine.” You reply, your knees buckle and you drop, darkness swarming your vision. You black out before you even hit the ground. You wake up on a very comfortable surface. You can hear voices. You distinguish Rainbow Dash's, Applejack's, Applebloom's, Big Mac's, a very old female voice, and Flash's and Speedy's. “Are you sure he doesn't need to go to the hospital?” You hear Big Mac ask. “Positive, I remember he took out two buildings once, out for a week. This is nothing.” You hear Speedy reply. “Yes, see he regaining contentiousness right now.” You heard Flash say when you slowly tried to get up. “I hate it when the black outs are delayed.” You say as something is pushed into your hands. “Drink up buddy.” Speedy said. You quickly downed the liquid. It tasted like apple juice. “You seem to get hurt a lot.” Rainbow Dash said with a small smile. “Yeah, but I usually don't black out.” You say as you stand. “So are you going to be ok? We have to move the clouds.” Rainbow Dash said. You nod and soon Flash, Speedy, Rainbow Dash, and yourself are up in the air. You and Rainbow Dash part with Speedy and Flash, to finish with the cloud duty.
