Slate Sadpony


Male earth pony. Exceptionally weird.

E

Rainbow Dash doesn't know much about batponies. She's heard of them, but never made friends with one - until she met Night Wish. Friendly and a talented flier, Rainbow Dash realizes she has a lot in common with the young colt. However, when she learns he is being bullied, she must work alongside his parents to help build a high-flying future for the boy.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I liked this, it's one of my favourite RD stories on this site.

I thought it was a good story. I really liked how Night Wish grew as a character and how Rainbow Dash acted as a surrogate older sister, like she does with Scootaloo. :twilightsmile:

Just two things by the way...

“Have you tried putting your hoof to a few flanks?”

“Dash, if that was the solution, I’d hold them down and let you have the first kick. But don’t you understand? That just makes us the bully - and ensures Night Wish will be getting it just as bad the moment we turn our backs.”

They would be the bully? And I thought punching a kid in the face would be illegal as an adult. Especially if you're a highly ranked guard...

Originally it was going to end with Night Wish being refused entry to the Academy because, as a bat pony, he could not be awake during the classes. However, I decided the "racist" angle didn't really work [...]

But... that has nothing to do with racism. Maybe we have different opinions about the term 'racism', but declining him for his sleeping scedule sounds more like a valid reason. In that scenario, he would have been declined for not being able to give his best due to constant tiredness (he's nocturnal after all) and not because of "Ha ha, you're a Batpony, so you can't get in!"

But other than that, it's a great story. I enjoyed it a lot. :pinkiesmile:
