A new friend
Two months later
The morning was quiet and the warm glow of Celestia's sun came slowly over the hills. The sunlight came through the windows giving the feeling that this was going to be a wonderful morning and for many it was, but not in Blaze's case. She woke up with sunlight lightly touching her eyes.
'This is going to be a wonderful morning.' she thought, but then...
BANG, BANG, BANG
Someone hammered at the door. Blaze was so startled that she jumped out of bed and hit the floor hard, very hard.
"Wake up Blaze! Your going to be late!" Blaze heard Rainbow Dash's voice shout outside.
"Ugh...This is going to be a loooong day." she said to herself before walking to the front door and opening it.
Outside stood Rainbow Dash with a wide grin.
"Come on it's your first day! You don't want to be late!" Rainbow Dash said full of energy.
"Does the first day have to be so early?" Blaze asked annoyed.
Rainbow shrugged. "Helps you get into the habit." she replied.
"Whatever. Show the way." Blaze said as she shook herself and took flight.
About an hour later they arrived at the academy and Blaze quickly realized that this was going to be just like a boot camp. They landed at the main area and Rainbow went off to talk with Spitfire. Blaze went for a walk on her own and when she came to a part where there seemed to be no one around she sat down and looked at the sky. Then she heard sobbing. It was faint, but she heard it. Somepony was crying. She followed the sound and came to a small building at the end of the area the academy covered. In the shadow of the building she found the source of the sobbing. It was a Pegasus mare sitting up against the wall and sobbing for herself. She was alone, nopony was around to comfort her. Blaze felt that it was now her job to comfort this mare.
"Hello." she said carefully while slowly walking towards the mare.
"What do you want? Have you come to criticize me?!" the mare lashed out without looking at Blaze.
Blaze flinched at this reaction and recoiled a bit.
"N-no of course not. I don't even know who you are." Blaze said while she walked closer.
"D-don't l-lie to me." the mare said between sobs.
"I honestly don't remember the last time I lied." Blaze said as she sat down next to the mare.
She placed a hoof on the mare's shoulder who flinched and looked up.
"Who are you and why are you being so nice to me?" the mare asked.
"My name is Blaze Firestarter. Did you do something wrong?" Blaze answered.
"Innocent ponies were hurt because of me." the mare said before breaking down in tears again.
A look of sadness crossed Blaze's face as her mane dimmed in colour and fell straight. The mare noticed this and looked up at Blaze.
"We have one thing in common already. Innocents have been hurt because of me too." Blaze said as steam came out of her eyes.
The mare's eyes went wide in surprise at this statement. She wiped away her tears and started to speak in a more confident voice.
"So. Why are you at the academy?" she asked.
Blaze's mane regained their colours at the change of topic.
"I won a race where Spitfire was the judge and she said that if I won I could enroll at this academy without requesting. Why are you here?" Blaze replied.
"I have been given a second chance at this academy. I bucked up real bad last time." the mare said with guilt in her voice. "I have hit rock bottom and I don't what to do.".
"You know what is good with hitting rock bottom?" Blaze asked not really waiting for a reply. "When you do, you can't fall further. You can only go one way. And that is up." Blaze continued.
The mare seemed to regain more confidence at this statement, but it was still something holding her down.
"That's not everything. I have never had a real friend." the mare said.
Blaze was taken aback by this, but quickly came with an answer.
"You know. If your looking for a friend you only have to ask. They won't come to you. You come to them. If you want a friend you only have to look around and find someone who is like you in personality or interests. They don't have to be famous or rich. They can be anyone. I think your first friend might be sitting right next to you." Blaze said.
"Y-you'd do that for me?" the mare asked taken completely off guard.
"If you want to." Blaze replied softly.
"T-thank you..." the mare said and gave Blaze a big hug.
"Don't mention it." Blaze said returning the embrace before they separated. "Think you can walk out there now and become a Wonderbolt?".
"Yes ma'am." the mare jokingly said and gave a mocking salute, to which they both laughed at.
"I haven't heard your name yet though. What is it?" Blaze asked.
"Lightning Dust." the mare answered.
Oh snap. Lightning Dust is back people

Huh. I'm looking forward to seeing if Lightning Dust makes amends. And what Rainbow's reaction will be when Blaze walks out with her biggest rival.

Maybe something like this:

I hope she and Lightning can make amends-it did seem like Dust was genuinely sorry...
Yeah.
10225788
Blaze and Dust will be in a 'Starlight and Trixie' situation because RD doesn't want Blaze hanging out with her greatest rival.
10225802
Of course they will. But Twilight did eventually come to terms with Trixie-I mean, she approved of letting Trixie become the new guidance counselor for her school, she could have easily denied her the position. And she no longer tries to find excuses that stop Starlight from hanging out with her.
10225809
I won't give it away, but I assure you that the next chapter will contain some serious raging
10225813
Alright then. Looking forward to it-I at least hope Spitfire vouches for Dust's "second chance" while not altogether disagreeing with Rainbow. Dust went behind her back too.
10225816
I do not plan for Spitfire to take Dust's side. She will take both sides.
Dust's side: Because it was Spitfire who agreed to give her a second chance.
Rainbow's side: She doesn't trust Dust that much.
10225818
Yeah, that makes sense.

Is this story based off of Crimsom Mare?
10225857
I didn't even know that story existed
It's just a coincidence
Though it IS inspired by Stephen King's 'Firestarter'.
