My name's Rainbow Dash. I'm Equestria's fastest pegasus, I'm the Element of Loyalty, I've saved the whole kingdom more than once, I've laughed in the face of danger, and I'm a coward. That's right, I said it. I'm a coward. I've always been sure I could do anything. Win any race, beat any opponent, complete any job. But this is something I can't outrun, outsmart, or outlast. What's causing me—the most awesome pegasus ever—so much trouble? You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Something I just couldn't get off my mind until I wrote it down. Be warned: the ponies in these battles really go off on each other. Almost exactly like it is in "Epic Rap Battles of History", except with less cursing. There's plenty of verbal bashing, though.

Vinyl Scratch is the DJ for most of these battles, and will be doing the all-caps commentary (except for the ones she's in, of course). OC tag because of slight self-insert.

I've heard that this story is better when read with someone else. You know, with each person doing one half of the rap battle?

...should there be a 'sex' tag, considering some of the stuff brought up in the rap battles?

YouTube Reading by untamedwaters.

It's not easy being a child living with the knowledge that your mommy is never going to get to watch you grow up. But this was a young Rainbow Dash's reality. Despite her mother's cancer, Dash's family had still been a very happy trio of ponies. But all fairytales must end.

Rainbow Dash's father has come to terms with the approaching departure of the mare whom he called his 'angel'. When the time had finally come for her to say goodbye, would Rainbow Dash be able to accept that her mother will die?

"Mommy's going back to Heaven." It was such a comforting thought to Dash, but she didn't want her mother to go.

(Side-story to What's Really the Most Important, to shed light on what happened to Rainbow's mother. This is technically a prequel, since it takes place a good... 18 years beforehand!

Twilight Sparkle. Pardon; Princess Twilight Sparkle cheated in her first flight.

Now she wants to learn how to use wings and in the process, something... Unexpected is bound to happen...

Over a long period of time, Rainbow Dash has instilled into her mind this complex ignorance of all things uncool, the most significance being negative emotion. She likes to believe that emotions like sadness and hate are things which she shouldn't bother with.

So her solution is the hide them all, lock them away deep inside herself in a place where she shouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

Only there is a problem.

Sometimes, you can't bottle yourself up forever.

An argument over another Daring Do book leaves Rainbow Dash frustrated. How can she ever get to Twilight to see what she means to her? What will it take to get the bookish unicorn to see things in a different light?

Rainbow Dash's dad, Blue Streak, has been lonely and sad ever since Firefly passed away. Rainbow has tried her best to cheer him up, but to no avail. On her latest visit, she finds out that her dad has been seeing someone and is now happier than ever. She couldn't be happier for him, until she found out who it was.

While reading the new Daring Do, Rainbow nearly spills the hidden secret of her crush, nearly to the person she has it on. However, she has doubts of ever telling her, since a pony like Twilight Sparkle isn't made to mix with somebody like Rainbow herself.

But sometimes, what usually isn't possible, actually can be once you try it out. Rainbow and Twilight discover this with the help of friends, through a simple experiment.

Fluttershy and Rainbow have always been friends, but always so opposite of each other. Their differences have made them friends who would always stand up for each other, but when it matters most, can they truly take wing for each other?

A short tale that proves I can write short stories, even if it has alternate endings. First ending is happy/romantic, the second sad/tragic.

Rainbow Dash turns thirty, and it's just like any week, month, year, or decade of her life.
