//------------------------------// // The change // Story: Rainbows Dark Origins // by Orangeblossom1212 //------------------------------// Rainbow dash awoke and the first thing she did was trot upstairs and check on Cloud Chaser who was thank goodness was asleep. Despite having woken up 7 times throughout the night to change, feed and sometimes just snuggle and comfort little Cloud Chaser so he didn't feel alone, Rainbow felt well rested. Rainbow Dash grabbed her saddle bags and trotted into the office. She sat Down in front of the computer. "If I'm going to take care of Cloud Chaser, I would need to prove I'm responsible, and one place I can start is school. No more skipping class and getting into fights for me! Okay let's see what assignments I'm missing." Rainbow Dash signed onto her V Portal account and pulled up her classes. "Okay let's start with math," Rainbow Dash said to herself. Just the thought made her feel board, but this was for Cloud Chaser! So she'd have to make due. "Ok," Rainbow Rash said with a smirk. "Wow most of Mr. Squared's assignments are home work. He doesn't even put half of the class work in the grade book. Theirs only like 6-8 math assignments and most are online, and look pretty easy! Okay, today's homework is already posted, I'll start with that." Rainbow Dash finished today's assinment pretty quickly. She was rather skilled at math, but that doesn't meat she particularly liked it. Rainbow Dash found all the steps and well, problems boring, she clicked send and sent it to the teacher. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ding. 'Hellos you have mail!' Mr. Squares computer said, in the middle of class. "Okay class please turn to page 845 in your text books, and begin your homework," he said trotting over to his computer and checking his Email. "What," He said in shock, as he scrolled down to look at Rainbow Dash's work. He was impressed to see that all of it was right, except for one problem. He was even more surprised to see her Email. Dear Mr.Squared Hey it's me, Rainbow Dash! Anyways I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused in your class. I promise that once this whole thing with my parents is sorted out, I won't ditch your class anymore. Ever. Now before you call me a hypocrite because I am not currently in class, please know that I have a good reason. I'm sure you saw it on the news by now. The two parents who kidnapped 13 year old Comet Streak and practically starved their newborn. The truth is their my parents..... I'm sorry I'm not in class today but I have to be home to care for little Cloud Chaser. However I promise you, I won't use this as just another reason to do nothing except take care of a foal. I won't wast time at being neglectful to my other responsibilities. As of today I'll take school more seriously! That's a promise! I'm going through all my classes on my V portal and doing all my assignments. I'll bring them to you when I come back to school witch I plan on doing in hopefully 2-3 days at most. Maybe even tomorrow if I can all my work done and get a sitter for Cloud Chaser. I've been put In charge of caring for him until the trial next Sunday. I don't care what it takes but I NEED to get custody over him! I want a chance to give him the life I had before my mother died and my dad started drinking and became abusive. I'll try to have all my class work and homework assignments to you soon. Hopefully by the end of today? I'll be coming by to give them to you soon. Thank you, for your help and time!, Sincerely, Rainbow dash P.S. Is it ok if I I take all the tests I missed during lunch next Monday? Mr.Squared just sat their and stared for a moment, completely shocked. He reread the Email a few times. Just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. "Huh," he said thinking, before he pulled up her email address and began to type a reply. Dear Rainbow Dash, I'm surprised! I never would have guessed you would suddenly become interested in your school work! I'm very glad at your change in attitude! I'm sorry to hear about your parents, I had no idea. I should have looked into it. I neglected to notice that their may have been a reason for your attitude. I'm very glad your turning yourself around, but you need to keep it up! You are more than welcome to stop by my class when ever you need to. My door is always open for students who need tutoring or to retake a test. As for Cloud Chaser I'm glad that you are looking into his best interests. The fact that your looking for a sitter proves you are really trying. Also I noticed your effort into your grammar. That you really put time and effort into writing it! Keep it up! I see a bright future for you! Sincerely, Mr.squared Once Mr. Squared was satisfied with his letter he clicked send. He forwarded Rainbow Dash's email to her other teachers to let them know to keep an eye on her. Once that was done he turned his attention back to his students. By the time rainbow dash received his Email, she had finished her math and started on her history. She was almost finished except for an essay. She had to do on how the a antidote to poison joke was discovered. "Ugh! This is not going to be fun," Rainbow groaned. "I think I'm just going to go take a little break, it's time to feed Cloud Chaser anyway." Just then, as if right on Q ,Cloud Chaser started crying. The air was filled with an ear piercing cry. Rainbow Dash smiled and got up and trotted into the guest room, where she found him. He started to calm down once he saw her. "Heya squirt, don't worry," Rainbow Dash said. Her voice now getting gentle as the foal stopped crying. "I wouldn't let anything happen to you. What do you say we get something to eat?" Rainbow dash said, as she used her wings to pick up the foal. Cloud Chaser giggled and snuggled into her chest. Rainbow Dash smiled and trotted down stairs. Rainbow Dash mixed some formula and put in in the microwave. While it was heating she changed Cloud Chasers diaper. Once he was fed, Rainbow Dash made herself a Sandwich. She took it, along with Cloud Chaser upstairs and back into the office. "Ugh! This is going to take forever!" Rainbow Dash said giving cloud chaser a nuzzle. He giggled and smiled. Rainbow Dash leaned down and carefully placed him on the floor. Rainbow Dash began to plan her essay, as Cloud Chaser sat next to her on the floor. He was looking at the interesting objects in the room. Every once in a while Rainbow Dash would glance at Cloud Chaser to keep an eye on him. Rainbow dash made her rubric and skimmed through a few websites. Rainbow made the introduction, witch she found out that the hardest part was getting started. The rest went by pretty swiftly. She labeled her three paragraphs. She did one on the location of all the ingredients for poison joke. The second one was on all the symptoms of poison joke, and why they caused the reaction they had. The last one was how it was treated. Rainbow Dash typed fast and was surprised to find that it took a little under an hour to finish. "Wow! I thought that was going to take a lot longer," Rainbow Dash said. Rainbow Dash glanced at Cloud Chaser again, who was trying to reach her with his little hooves. Rainbow Dash leaned down and picked him up. "You wanna snuggle?"Rainbow cooed "you want some attention huh, it's not fun sitting and playing all by yourself is it," Rainbow said in a baby tone. The colt grinned. "You are so cute!" Rainbow Dash commented. The colt snuggled into her chest. Rainbow Dash felt her heart explode. Rainbow Dash spent the rest of the day working on all her assignments. By the time she finished it was late, and Rainbow Dash was exhausted. Rainbow learned from last nights mistake and slept in the guest room with Cloud Chaser, but not before she moved all the diapers and formula into the guest room with her. It would be a lot easier to care for Cloud Chase with all the supplies right here with her, and she could hopefully get some sleep. Rainbow Dash's head had just hit the pillow, when her eyes shot open. "Ugh, I need to call Comet Blaze, and see if she can watch Cloud Chaser tomorrow why I'm at school," she groaned. Rainbow Dash went down stairs and picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Hey, Comet Blaze? I know its late, but I have a favor to ask"............. To be continued
