My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

Each night I’m trapped in the dark, immobilized. I hear whispers as they operate on me: they say I shouldn’t be alive. Twilight refuses to tell me about the operation. Sometimes she can’t look me in the eye. What did they do to me?

Nothing used to scare me: I kicked a dragon in the nose, defeated gods of chaos and hatred, and control the weather. Now I feel broken. My memories have shattered, I feel wrong, and I’m afraid to tell anypony how scared I am.

I can’t even do the rainboom anymore. Who am I? I’m no longer the best flyer in Equestria, yet everypony assures me I am. Why won’t they tell me the truth?

Fluttershy has gone out to visit Zecora for a healing potion. While she is out, a magical storm appears over the Everfree Forest and Fluttershy becomes hopelessly lost. Worried about her best friend, Rainbow Dash heads into the forest and storm in search.

I am not associated with Hasbro and/or the My little pony Franchise. this story has been written purely for fictional purposes only. Cover art by Nyarmarr.

It wasn’t Rainbow Dash’s idea of a good time, but watching the Butterfly Migration was a perfect excuse to spend time with Fluttershy. Their conflicting schedules had been forcing them apart for the past few days, and for a while the two simply enjoy each others company. But as the afternoon drags on, and thought’s that Rainbow has tried desperately to fight back begin to surface, things get out of hoof fast. A disastrous accident brings the two closer together than they have ever been before, and soon the peaceful afternoon becomes a fight for survival. This is a story of self discovery, and a confusing, but prosperous relationship between two mares.

Really? Of all the empty spaces in this bar, you choose the stool next to me? I'm not interested, dude. Trust me.

Say wha-? You think I have a story to tell? You're kidding me, right? Yeah, I got stories. Yes, I helped stop Nightmare Moon. Yes, I punched Discord in the face. I've faced a dragon and the queen of the changelings and lived to tell about it, and before you ask, the rainbow mane is natural, and so are the wi- oh, not like that?

Something about me, huh? Something that makes Rainbow Dash Rainbow Dash? Why? Besides the obvious overdose of awesomeness, of course.

Huh. That's a strange special talent. Can't say I've seen story-finder before... Well, as long as you're here, I guess I could talk for a bit. But you’re buying your own drinks, ok?

Twilight makes a trip across town in search of something to wake her up. Sometimes awareness is where we least expect it.

Warning: Contains unnecessarily verbose, overly-complicated, inscrutably dense literary self-indulgence.

Fluttershy is always willing to come and cheer Rainbow Dash on, be it for flight competitions, races, or even practise sessions. Unfortunately Fluttershy’s cheering leaves a lot to be desired. Rainbow Dash however has come up with a solution to this problem; dress Fluttershy up as a cheerleader.

The cover image has no name as far as I’m aware but was drawn by the artist Yubi.

Unsurprisingly this fanfic features FlutterDash shipping.

I do not - nor do I claim to - own any characters or artwork I use in this story unless otherwise stated - they belong to their respective series and owners.

After months of pleading and begging, Rainbow Dash finally relents and agrees to go with Fluttershy to see the next Butterfly Migration - This time near the eastern oversea town of Canterbury. The shy Pegasus could never be happier.

Setting forth on a train, across the wild and rolling hills of Equestria on their journey over the sea
But as it turns out, the Migration becomes the last thing to cross their mind as the two pegasi are thrown astray into a dangerous land. And one small yellow Pegasus finds herself quickly out of her element.

Why did Scootaloo never mention her parents, or even any family to begin with? Well, what if it was because her parents were famous, and were not around very much due to their work schedules? Now with Scootaloo promising her parents to come in on Family Appreciation Day, it's time for the truth to be revealed.
