When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Okay, I don't know if anyone can hear this, or read this, or whatever, but I'm trying my best to use Pinkie Pie's legendary fourth-wall-breaking powers to try and get a message out.

If you can hear this, I need help. I'm in Equestria, and man, this is strange. But I'm also stuck in Pinkie Pie's body, for some reason.

Yes, it's just as weird as it sounds. And now, I need your help... because all the ponies in this town think I'm crazy!

Rainbow Dash performs a Sonic Rainboom at the Young Fliers Competition to save Rarity & the Wonderbolts

This is taken from S01E16 - The Sonic Rainboom, however I wanted to write it from Dash's point of view and describe what she was feeling at the time. Sorry for the lame title, but it's late at night for me, and I'm tired :(

Just a tester story with two main purposes

1) To tame whatever writing skills I can muster using any constructive criticism I can get

2) Learn how to portray thoughts in a more orderly fashion. Currently I'm using italics, but personally I think it's a little messy.

In the end, the prices we pay are worth what we receive in return - and none understand this more than a certain pegasus mare.

"Her parents hadn’t come close to telling us what had happened. As I read her newest letter I couldn't believe what she was telling me. This kid hadn’t 'had an accident'… this kid, damn, this kid had been buckin' broken... she’d been broken…"

Sometimes, all it takes is a letter to let them know...
