Rainbow Dash was always concentrated on getting better, faster, more agile. She never had time for stallions or mares, and both mind and body complied.

But you can't help who you fall in love with. It was just unfortunate for her that the other pony had to be Lightning Dust, and their friendship would shortly thereafter be forever severed.

Written for F* This Prompt #12: 'Rainbow Dash is a lesbian'. Thanks to Majora for proofreading.

Lightning Dust has a plan to make her anniversary with her marefriend something she'll never forget. It goes poorly.

Two years ago, Rainbow Dash stole Lightning Dust's dream from her. While the Element Bearer went on to become a Wonderbolt, Lightning Dust faded into obscurity. She worked what jobs she could find, but, bitter and broken, she spent more of her evenings inside the bar than outside of it. For two years, her dreams of becoming a Wonderbolt were just that: dreams, shattered and empty.

Then one night, Rainbow Dash reentered Lightning's life. The conversation that followed would lead Lightning on a second chance to achieve her dreams. But she never could have imagined what else she'd find along the way.
