So, something bad happened, two different parties had a fight which couldn't be resolved by talking and there's some bad blood ever since?
Yep. Sounds like real life.
"Rainbow Dash, none of the ponies down there hate you pegasi, they just don't understand why you just can't let go of the past and move on, I bet if you all tried they would be more then happy to give you all a sceond chance,"
On a personal note, I think it's sometimes not easy to just let go of the past and move on. Especially when you've been wronged. And if Rainbow's story is true, wouldn't the ponies from Ponyville be the jerks? Forcing the pegasi out of town as condition for their forgiveness? Seems a little bit weird.
This whole "food stealing"-thing is either a misunderstanding or a conspiracy! Just my opinion though.
Dash's story is true, but the two towns have been like this for years, so the reason for everything isn't all that easy to remember, everypony just knows that Ponyvile and Cloudsdale aren't 'good neighbours' at all, and the ponies aren't exactly jerks as such, they just didn't want the pegasi coming into their town and constandly causing trouble for them, like they were doing.
And as for the food stealing situation...well let's just say that many of the pegasi were very nice and all, however there were some that weren't all like the rest, and would sometimes ignore certain rules (you'll find out more about this tpoic in the next chapter).
"Yeah I guess you're right, and maybe they will be more willing to tell me then (than) Rainbow Dash was yesterday," Twilight replied with a nod as she remembered how Rainbow had acted when she had asked about this subject yesterday, before she soon left Spike to have his breakfast (and clean up the library a little) while she went to go and make her way to Sweet Apple Acres, hoping that Applejack would have the answers she had been looking for.
"Well I'm glad to hear that, normally they don't take too well to strangers," Applejack stated as she was glad that the pegasi had at least treated the Princess with respect while she was up there and not (didn't) just try to run her out of the town, "Is there anything that ya need?"
"Well to be honest it's not that we don't like her, it's just that we can never seem to get along, she always finds something to agure (argue) with us about and it just seems like all she wants to do is cause trouble for us all," Applejack explained with a slight sigh, "We have tried to be friends with her but it always seems that she would much rather live in the past,"
Twilight shifted her eyes a little as she looked to Dash nervously, feeling her heart beating a little fast in her chest, while she sighed deeply and lay down beside the pegasus, "Listen Dash I know this isn't your most favourite topic to talk about, but in order for me to be a good Princess for both Cloudsdale and Ponyvile I need to get this fall (all) out sorted, so can't you tell me what happened?" the Princess asked, hoping that Dash wouldn't just shut down on her like she did yesterday when she asked her about this subject.
"Alright, so I'm guessing you knew (know) that Cloudsdale used to be a traveling city that would go around all of equestria (capitalize) right?" Rainbow asked as she started to explain to Twilight about what the falling out had all been about.
"Well many of the pegasi wanted somewhere for Cloudsdale to always return to once the town was done bringing certain seasons to different places, be really we just wanted a base of some sort where we could always go back to, so we thought a small, welcoming town like Ponyvile would do nicely, but it would seem that we were wrong,"
"They were all nice and humble when we first met, however as time went on they began to accuse a lot of the pegasi, saying that we would steal their food without paying for it, and that we would always be causing trouble around the town. We did apologise (appologise) but the ponies said the only way they would forgive us was if we left the town. However many of the pegasi really liked it here, and we didn't want to leave, so we refused to go, which only led the ponies to then run us out of their town," Rainbow sighed a little as she brushed Twilight's hoof off of her own and stood up for a moment, poking at the fluffy cloud with her hoof.
I grew up in the sticks. Raiding farms & orchards was a popular childhood past time + lots of folks don't consider swiping produce to be REALLY stealing
"Rainbow?" Twilight looked to the pegasus with a concerned expression as she wondered if the other mare was alright, she seemed to be so different when talking about this topic, the proud tone in her voice was gone and the big headed attitude was no where (1 word) in sight, she really did seem like a different pony when it came to talking about Ponyvile.
"And from there the pegasi that wanted to stay in Cloudsdale, and the ones that wanted to go and live in Ponyvile separated, we decided it would be best to stick to our own towns....(so)…. as to not cause anymore trouble, so that's why there's a big bunch of clouds between us, it's kind of like our border really," Rainbow finished her story as she turned away from Twilight and walked to the edge of the cloud, looking down to the group of clouds that kept the two towns separated.
"Rainbow Dash, none of the ponies down there hate you pegasi, they just don't understand why you just can't let go of the past and move on, I bet if you all tried they would be more then (than) happy to give you all a sceond (second) chance," Twilight suggested with a smile to Dash, hoping that she would take what she was saying into consideration, instead of just answering her with a, 'no'.
